Emperor Xie Che gave Pei Yan ten days to investigate the cause of Teng Rui's death. Today is the deadline. The Wei State delegation headed by Lei Zhen has been waiting for the results of the investigation. Xie Che and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are also waiting for Pei Yan. result. Jiang Ci and Pei Yan found out through clues that Teng Rui was still alive. Unexpectedly, Teng Rui was secretly sent to the house of Zhenyuan General Lu Yu. Lu Yu was highly respected and had great military exploits. Pei Yan did not dare to search the house without permission, so he had to go back. The palace reported to Emperor Xie Che.

Pei Yan was worried that the Hou Mansion was in danger and asked An Cheng to go back as soon as possible to take precautions. Pei Yan hurried to the palace and explained to Tao Zizhu in advance about Teng Rui hiding in Lu Yu's house. Tao Zizhu knew the seriousness of the matter and reported it to Xie Che immediately. At this moment, Lei Zhen led members of the mission into the court, insisting that Pei Yan had plotted to kill Teng Rui and wanted Pei Yan to pay for Teng Rui's life.

At the same time, a group of officers and soldiers broke into Jian Dinghou's mansion. Rong Yudie was neither humble nor overbearing, and asked everyone in the mansion to go back to their rooms. Lei Zhen accused Pei Yan in court. He saw a masked man in black looking through Teng Rui's coffin in Teng Rui's mourning hall, and suspected that he was going to steal the jade gourd that was buried in Teng Rui's mouth. He fled and left a Changfengwei exclusive meteor dart at the scene, so Lei Zhen believed that Pei Yan was the mastermind behind it.

Prince Xie Chi and King Zhuang Xie Yu stood up to defend Pei Yan, but Lei Zhen refused to give up. Pei Yan took Jiang Ci out for half an hour on the night of the birthday banquet. He believed that Pei Yan went to set fire to commit murder at that time. Pei Yan always remained consistent. Without saying a word, Xie Che paid a private visit to the Jian Dinghou Mansion incognito that night. He arranged for Xie Che and Rong Yudie to meet in a quiet room. He could not tell the truth. Emperor Da Ming pressed hard, but Pei Yan still refused to tell the truth. Xie Che knew that Pei Yan was unjustly accused, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he ordered Pei Yan to be arrested and sent Wei Zhao to take Jiang Ci to prison to await punishment.

Wei Zhao led people from the Guangming Division to the Jianding Hou Mansion and arrested Jiang Ci in front of Rong Yudie. That night, Xie Che came to the prison to find Pei Yan and persuaded him to confess Jiang Ci to take the blame. Pei Yan refused and tried his best to plead for Jiang Ci, but was severely punished by Xie Che. Wei Zhao escorted Jiang Ci to prison, and Xie Che had to leave first when he saw this.

Wei Zhao saw Pei Yan interceding for Jiang Ci with his own eyes. He was indignant and directed all his anger on Jiang Ci. He tortured Jiang Ci severely, but Jiang Ci was not afraid. Prince Xie Chi came to see Pei Yan overnight. Pei Yan asked him to bring a letter to Rong Yudie and rescue Jiang Ci at all costs. Xie Chi learned that Jiang Ci was the only witness to the murder of Teng Rui, and he agreed.

Wei Zhao settled Lei Zhen and the members of the mission into the post house and came to report to Xie Che overnight. He couldn't wait to know how Xie Che would deal with Jiang Ci. It was given to Jiang Ci by Teng Rui, and Jiang Ci was culpable in this case. Wei Zhao knew that Xie Che would not keep Pei Yan in prison for too long. He was worried about the long nights and dreams, so he decided to send Teng Rui out of Qingkang as soon as possible. As the prince, Xie Chi couldn't go to the Jiandinghou Mansion, so he sent his maid to deliver a message to Rong Yudie, but was stopped by Yue Jinglong, the commander of the imperial army. Rong Yudie came after hearing the news and lost his temper at Yue Jinglong, but Yue Jinglong didn't dare If she offends her, let the maid of the prince's palace enter.

The more Jiang Ci thought about it, the more something was wrong. He concluded that Wei Zhao had stolen the jade gourd and put it in Teng Rui's mouth in order to frame Pei Yan. Jiang Ci wanted to confront Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao came after hearing the news, but Jiang Ci exposed him to his face. Wei Zhao was so angry after what he did that he tied her up, tortured her, and threatened to kill Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci had long expected this day. When she fell down at the market, she put the seeds of Dark Night Orchid on the soles of Wei Zhao's shoes. This seed would leave an indelible mark, as long as it was found at the scene. This kind of imprint confirmed Wei Zhao's crime, and Jiang Ci had already written a letter exposing Wei Zhao as a silver-faced assassin and hid it in the Jiandinghou Mansion.

Wei Zhao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and strangled Jiang Ci's neck. Thanks to Xie Chi's timely arrival, Wei Zhao had to stop. He never expected that Pei Yan would use the prince Xie Chi to save Jiang Ci's life. Wei Zhao suspected Pei Yan also revealed some secrets to Xie Chi. He sent people to find out what Xie Chi did after seeing Pei Yan last night.

Wei Zhao didn't send Teng Rui to Lu Yu's house at all. It was just to hide Teng Rui from others. He hid Teng Rui in Lao He's house. Wei Zhao sent Ajun and Azheng to put Teng Rui in a box and send him out of the city early in the morning. Wei Zhao learned that Xie Chi had sent a palace maid to see Rong Yudie last night. He realized that the situation was not good and immediately decided to cancel the plan to escort Teng Rui out of the city and sent someone to notify Lao He, but it was too late. Ajun and Azheng Having already set off with the big box, Lao He immediately pulled up the swill truck to intercept it. Ajun and Azheng drove a carriage to the city gate. The guards wanted to check the carriage. Lao He hurriedly arrived pushing the swill cart to cover the carriage's smooth exit from the city. Lao He was caught by the officers and soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. Mrs. He burned the documents about Yueluo City. Officers and soldiers arrived and arrested Mrs. He on the spot.

Jiang Ci and Pei Yan were cleared of their charges, and Xie Che ordered their release. He gave Pei Yan three days to rescue Teng Rui. Pei Yan asked Wei Zhao to borrow Guangming Department guards to chase Teng Rui's carriage. Azheng and Ajun rushed to the dock with Teng Rui, but were chased and intercepted halfway by Xu Jun, the leader of the Changfeng Guard. They resisted desperately and tried to kill Teng Rui to silence them, but they both died because of the disparity in power.

Xu Juan came back to report to Pei Yan. Only then did Wei Zhao know that Pei Yan had arranged for Xu Juan to stay outside the city. Pei Yan made various excuses to cover up. Wei Zhao didn't believe it at all. Xu Juan arrested Lao He and his wife for severe interrogation. They Refusing to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, Xu Juan ordered them to be whipped. Wei Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and asked to interrogate Lao He and his wife. He also hinted that Lao He was holding him hostage. Mrs. He held Wei Zhao hostage and was killed by the guards on the spot. Lao He rushed up. He fought hard with Wei Zhao, but was beheaded on the spot. Wei Zhao saw his clansmen being killed again. His heart was twisted, but he did not dare to show it. He suppressed the grief in his heart, and Jiang Ci saw it all.
