At dinner in the evening, Xie Beiming said that he would take everyone to the Sanyuan Tower to enjoy the moon tomorrow, and the streets will be very lively tomorrow. But, Su Ci said she would bail on this because she had official duties to tend to. Xie Beiming then stated that he will bring her back some gifts since she can't join them.

Su Ci returned to her room and recalled what her mother said before about the Mid-Autumn Festival. This date was also the day her grandmother died.

They both sat by the lake and talked. She learned that it was actually Pei who help clear the streets for her so she can practice her tradition in peace and not have her identity exposed.

Pei Zhao told her that he begged Prince Qi Wang clear the streets as a favor for him. Pei Zhao also said that next time Su Ci has to do such a dangerous thing, she should tell him in advance, so that he can help her protect her identity as a female.

Xie Beiming volunteered to be the guinea pig and he inhaled yesterday’s drug. He then felt that the same as the other's on hearing sound of bells and rain. Su Ci thought that the previous victims could hear the sound of rain as well and suggested that it must be related to water.

Su Ci came to Fu Zizhuo, and Su Ci found that the purse Du Lan gave to Fu Zizhuo was not done very well by the female worker. Fu Zizhuo said that Du Lan basically does not work as a female worker.
