On the stage, the emperor was about to personally kill the concubines who were messing with the eunuchs. Murong Gaogong didn't know what happened suddenly, and stood up like crazy, still shouting "wrong". He then turned to a gentle tone, called the actor who played the role of the eunuch over, and turned to ask Yinlou if the play was good or not. Seeing that Yinlou was silent, Murong Gaogong picked up his crutch and swung it at the actor viciously. Yinlou immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Murong Gaogong pulled off Yinlou's tube ring, let out a high-pitched voice for the actors to continue.
Here, as soon as Xiao Duo returned to Zhaodingsi, he was surrounded by Yu Zun and locked in Zhao Prison. When Yinlou heard about this, he hurried to find Murong Gaogong, but he only saw Buyinge. Buyinge stopped Yinlou, pointed at her nose and cursed, blaming Yinlou for all her mistakes. Yinlou was also not afraid, pointing out the loopholes of Buyinge to the point. She knew that she was not the cause of all this, but she dared not go to the culprit to settle the score, so she could only vent her anger on herself.
Buyinge became furious, and mocked Yinlou for not wanting to be favored, but willing to mess with a slave in a lowly way. Yinlou retorted that she was willing to be a plaything for others to play with, but she only wanted to love someone she wanted to love. Buyinge was so angry that he wanted to make a move. Yinlou caught a glimpse of the scar on her hand and persuaded her to leave the palace as soon as possible. But Buyinge seemed to be intoxicated in a dream, claiming that he was going to be the queen of Daye.
Above the court, Murong Gaogong announced that he would establish Buyinge as the empress, but the ministers strongly opposed it. Murong Gaogong called Buyinge to his side, and asked her to dance in front of everyone, to show off the majesty of the world. The ministers below lowered their heads and discussed, all of them dared not speak out. After the dance was over, Eunuch Sun had to remind Murong Gaogong that this move was really inappropriate. But who would have expected Murong Gaogong to go too far, cuddling with Buyinge above the main hall.
The Queen Mother then came and ordered Buying Pavilion to be imprisoned, asking Murong Gaogong to re-select the queen. The ministers responded one after another, saying that as long as it is not Buyinge, other concubines are eligible. Murong Gaogong breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a new edict announcing Liyinlou as queen. Only now did everyone realize that all Murong Gaogong did was for this new edict.
After dismissing Buyinge, Murong Gaogong went to find Yinlou contentedly. He said to the pear tree that had just been transplanted, when Yinlou stood on top of ten thousand people, the whole imperial city would stare at her, and the whole Daye would trap her. And above this back position, she will be unable to move an inch, and will be completely alone.
Afterwards, Murong Gaogong took Yinlou to Zhao Prison. Yinlou saw that familiar figure from a distance, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright. Xiao Duo was covered in wounds, his clothes had been soaked in blood. Yinlou hurried to Xiao Duo, trying to protect him behind him. Instead, she knelt down and begged for mercy, hoping to save Xiao Duo. Unexpectedly, these words angered Murong Gaogong, he saw him walking towards Xiao Duo with a pair of hot tongs. Yinlou panicked immediately, and hurriedly stood in front of Xiao Duo.
Wanwan hurriedly pleaded with Murong Gaogong, hoping that he would be lenient and release Yinlou and Xiao Duo. But Murong Gaogong seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, and instead asked Wanwan why she betrayed herself. At this moment, Wanwan seemed to understand. She questioned Murong Gaogong angrily. He kept saying that he liked Yinlou, but he never cared what Yinlou thought, and he didn't even treat her as a person.
Murong Gaogong suddenly sneered, and pulled Wanwan out. Yuwen Liangxu was covered in wounds, lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Murong Gaogong asked Wanwan to make a choice, whether to save Yuwen Liangxu or Yinlou and Xiao Duo. Wanwan had no choice but to beg Murong Gaogong to release Yuwen Liangxu. Hearing this, Murong Gaogong couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, love is all selfish. He then patted Wanwan's face lightly, warning her to remember her identity in the future.
After much deliberation, Wanwan finally decided to leave the imperial city together with Yuwen Liangxu. But when they reached the suburbs, they were stopped by Yu Zun. Before Wanwan had time to think about it, she slapped Yuwen Liangxu's horse hard, while she stayed to deal with Yu Zun. But she never thought that Murong Gaogong was also here. Wanwan felt suffocated for a while, as if she was locked in a cage, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't fly out, and she even got injured all over her body.
