Emperor Hong Xiao believed that Xiao Heng should not contradict Wanning and was worried that Wanning would kill him, but Xiao Heng said he would be careful. Hong Xiaodi was afraid that Xiao Heng would die and there would be no one trustworthy around him. Wan Ning wrote a note in her own handwriting and asked the maid Mei Xiang to send it to Li's house. It said "kill quickly". According to the information provided by the informant, the leader of the Virgin Hall has been imprisoned in Huicheng again. There is no news yet.
Wan Ning accused Shen Yurong of tearing her down. Shen Yurong believed that it was a feast for the saints and should not attack students, and thought that Wan Ning's behavior was disgraceful. Wan Ning was so angry that she hit Shen Yurong. When she touched his wound, she felt distressed and called someone to see her. Shen Yurong asked her not to hurt her face because of Jiang Li. He was very sure that he had killed Xue Fangfei. Although Wan Ning was suspicious of Jiang Li, she felt sorry for Shen Yurong and said that she would not punish him to kneel down at night, but would personally accompany him and wipe him.
Li Fei proposed to go to Taixiang Temple to worship Buddha, and deliberately said that she wanted to go to the place where Queen Mother Xia stayed. Emperor Hong Xiao praised Concubine Li for her thoughtfulness. He missed Concubine Li's fermented glutinous rice dumplings, which were comparable to the craftsmanship of Empress Dowager Xia.
When Jiang Jingrui heard about what happened at Wanfeng Hall, he was worried that Xue Fangfei was in a bad mood, so he brought her cakes. Xue Fangfei knew that she was currently at odds with the Jiang sisters, so in order to avoid their sharp edges, she decided to go to the Ye family in Luyang to find relatives. Jiang Jingrui strongly supported it, believing that the Ye family in Luyang was as wealthy as the country. He hoped that she could get back on good terms with the Ye family, but he was also worried that her going to Luyang would affect her reputation in the capital. Xue Fangfei saw that Jiang Jingrui liked catkins, and Jiang Jingrui was shy and embarrassed.
Xiao Heng inquired about Concubine Li's actions and kindly reminded Xue Fangfei that Concubine Li was the most beloved concubine of the Holy Emperor and asked her what her next move would be. Xue Fangfei said frankly that she would avoid his sharp edges and not be in a hurry. Tong'er was worried that Xue Fangfei would go to the Ye family alone and be wronged. Xue Fangfei expressed that she had her own thoughts. In addition to getting forgiveness from the Ye family for Jiang Li, she also wanted to go to Huaixiang to visit the Xue family.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the four of them got together. Ye Shijie wanted to accompany his second uncle Ye Mingxuan, who came to the capital. Liu Xu was not happy, and Jiang Jingrui wanted Ye Shijie to treat him. Ye Mingxuan came to the capital temporarily to discuss business. Xue Fangfei took the initiative to recognize her relatives and hoped to follow Ye Mingxuan back to Luyang for a visit. By the way, she invited them to Jiang's house. Ye Mingxuan was worried about disturbing him if he went rashly. Xue Fangfei felt guilty about what happened when she was a child, so she would help Ye Mingxuan put in good words in front of Jiang Yunbai.
Ye Shijie felt that Xue Fangfei wanted to return to Luyang suddenly. He learned that she was in a bad situation in the Jiang family and promised to protect her as his cousin. Xiao Heng continued to watch the show. Wen Ji was worried that his life was in danger. Lu Ji asked him not to alert others. Xiao Heng saw Xue Fangfei and asked her to cover him while watching the show. Xue Fangfei had some understanding of the drama, and she said she could help, but she had to use watching the drama to pay off a debt she owed Xiao Heng.
After Xiao Taohong's performance ended, she sent a killer to assassinate Xiao Heng while Xiao Heng walked in. Xiao Heng fought against three people and pushed Xue Fangfei away. At the critical moment, Xue Fangfei blocked a sword for Xiao Heng and injured her arm. Xiao Taohong was caught by Wen Ji and others. Xiao Heng wanted to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xiao Heng personally interrogated Xiao Taohong and found out that she wanted to recruit soldiers and horses for King Cheng because she wanted to be a princess and deliberately disfigured her to scare her. Xiao Heng learned that King Cheng had arranged killer training in Luyang and wanted to destroy it himself.
Jiang Yunbai disagreed with Xue Fangfei going to Luyang, thinking that Concubine Li was about to issue an order for her to go to worship Buddha. Mrs. Jiang came forward to agree, but Jiang Yunbai did not dare to say more. Afterwards, Mrs. Jiang hinted to Jiang Yunbai that he should not be partial. She knew that Ji Shuran had selfish motives and wanted Jiang Yunbai to weigh things carefully.
Since Jiang Ruoyao and Zhou Yanbang's engagement broke up, she only thought about Zhou Yanbang. Ji Shuran arranged other marriages for her to cheer her up. Xue Fangfei was about to go to Luyang with Ye Mingxuan. Jiang Jingrui and Liu Xu brought cakes to her.
When Xue Fangfei arrived in Luyang, Ye Mingxuan saw that her family was not there, so she arranged for her to stay in the guest room and went out to do business. After Mrs. Ye came back, she thought Xue Fangfei was a vixen and wanted to teach her a lesson, but she didn't see anyone. Wen Ji inquired about Chu Lan, the confidant of Cheng Wang's housekeeper, who had a crush on Xihualou Wulan, and the Li family crossed Ye Shijie and made the Ye family fall into a trap.
Xue Fangfei inquired about the whereabouts of Qiongzhi and learned that she had become the ace of the brothel. She wanted to ask her about the situation of the Xue family because her lover was her brother Xue Zhao. Xiao Heng happened to come to the brothel at the same time. He thought he was seeing Wu Lan, but he started fighting with the people in the house.
