Li Rong knew that if she wanted to get rid of the constraints of her family, she could only follow Pei Wenxuan's advice and build a power center with herself as the core, which involved controlling authority. Early in the morning, Li Rong took Pei Wenxuan outside the palace to wait for the emperor's summons, and asked Pei Wenxuan to help arrange a meeting with Su Rongqing at the teahouse. After hearing this, Pei Wenxuan started to speak sourly again, complaining that she deliberately chose such an emotional place.
On the other hand, Feng Ming found out Qin Zhenzhen's whereabouts, so he must not step in hastily to stop Li Chuan, otherwise if the family knew that he still cared about Qin Zhenzhen, they might intensify their dealings with the Qin family. At the same time, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan asked the emperor for power, but the emperor did not agree immediately and said he would think about it first.
After the two left, the emperor took out the things he had given to his daughter, and the warm images of father and daughter in the past came to mind. Li Rong was not sure whether his father would agree. Pei Wenxuan planned to take over all the problems and make the emperor think that he had instigated Li Rong. This would prevent Li Rong from showing off his talents and causing trouble for himself.
Soon, Fulai was ordered to come to the princess's palace to deliver a message. The memorial prepared by Li Rong today had been approved by the emperor, but she had to find a reason to appoint the Inspectorate, and she would be given three more counties. After listening to Fulai's words, Li Rong really thought that he should think carefully. Since the family is the sword and he is the scabbard, then the Qin family is a miracle, able to seamlessly connect the two.
Then Li Rong found Qin Zhenzhen alone, recalling that Li Chuan in the previous life was heartbroken over Qin Zhenzhen's death, and insisted on putting his beloved sword in the coffin and sleeping with her in the imperial mausoleum. Now, Li Rong told Qin Zhenzhen that she needed someone with strong martial arts skills to perform special tasks. She would send Qin Zhenzhen to the northwest to build a branch of the Supervision Department, and assist Qin Lin in gaining military power in the northwest and stabilizing the northwest. When your wings are full, start making plans again. In order to avoid the family's spy, Li Rong will arrange for Qin Zhenzhen to die in a reasonable way. From then on, there will be no second lady of the Qin family, only a female guard who wears a mask and is ordered to protect Li Rong's safety, and gives her a name: Xunchuan.
Now that Su Rongqing has been assigned by the emperor to investigate the Qin family's affairs, Su's father believes that his son will not disappoint him. Su Rongqing also represents the entire family. They cannot protect themselves alone and can only rely on others' strength. After Li Chuan knew that Qin Zhenzhen was injured, he still brought healing medicine in person, hoping to meet him. Li Rong reminded him not to put Qin Zhenzhen in danger. Qin Zhenzhen understood Li Chuan's intentions, but she could not show up to recognize Li Chuan, and the two of them could only see things and miss people.
That night, Pei Wenxuan returned to the room and saw Li Rong lying on the table, so he gently carried her to bed. When Li Rong woke up, she directly asked Pei Wenxuan some court matters, and said that she insisted on meeting Su Rongqing. If she wanted to open up internal relations, she must clear up the relationship. Pei Wenxuan felt a little distressed when he saw Li Rong worrying about so many things for everyone, and felt that she was the one who should be protected. Then Pei Wenxuan revealed to Li Rong that Su Rongqing refused to meet, which made Li Rong confused and had to admit that she still had feelings for Su Rongqing.
In order to protect both the aristocratic family and the poor family at the same time, Li Rong personally went to the Jucai Pavilion to find Shangguan Ya, intending to support the new head of the family. Shangguan Ya accepted Li Rong's suggestion and was willing to support her in taking power. Back at the Princess Mansion, Li Rong ordered Jinglan to find the best theater troupe in Beijing and prepare for them to perform publicly on the streets of the busy city to sing out the grievances of the Qin family.
Sure enough, he wrote a letter on the door of the aristocratic family asking the emperor to convict the Qin family. A drama insinuating that the aristocratic family framed the Han clan was staged in full swing, which immediately aroused the anger of many people. Under Li Rong's arrangement, Qin Zhenzhen knelt in front of the princess's house, held up a blood letter and begged Li Rong to make the decision for him. In the end, he was so frustrated that he hit a pillar and died on the spot.
Li Rong came to the palace to face the emperor with a blood letter of innocence. The emperor took advantage of the situation and suppressed the family. He agreed to Li Rong's investigation of the case and set up an inspection department for her. Because of this, uncle Shangguan Xu was very dissatisfied with Li Rong. He came to Li Rong privately and warned her not to meddle in other people's business, but Li Rong insisted on finding out the case for the Qin family.
After Fulai handed the imperial handwriting and token to Li Rong, Li Rong invited Shangguan Ya again and introduced Qin Zhenzhen, who was renamed Xunchuan, to her. Although Shangguan Ya felt that Xun Chuan looked familiar and was about to continue questioning, Li Rong hurriedly interrupted and ordered Xun Chuan to prepare manpower immediately.
Not long after, Li Rong brought Pei Wenxuan and Xun Chuan to the Ministry of Punishment to obtain files about the Qin family, but was blocked by officials from the Ministry of Punishment. Li Rong's eyes signaled Xun Chuan to threaten the officials, and Pei Wenxuan took the opportunity to enter the library to investigate the case. However, she deliberately injured her hand and lied to Su Rongqing that the official had hurt her.
Seeing this, Su Rongqing took out a handkerchief to bandage Li Rong, but Pei Wenxuan happened to see it. Her heart was full of jealousy, so she took Li Rong's hand and walked out until she came to the carriage. Pei Wenxuan threw away Su Rongqing's handkerchief with a calm expression, wrapped Li Rong's hand with his own handkerchief, and refused to allow Xun Chuan to pick up the handkerchief, which made Li Rong helpless.
