In the room, Cang Qi was angry at the imperial physicians for their inability to treat them. An imperial physician said that the Materia Medica may have a cure for this disease. Bai Yue said that he had never heard of the scriptures of Materia Medica, they were all made up by imperial physicians. Bai Yue told Cang Qi that Ye Xi suffers from stupor but the cause is unknown, but it must be related to her being seriously injured and forced to use force. Only by taking her back to Fenghua Valley, there may be herbs from Changliu Mountain that can be cured. Cang Qi thought that Bai Yue wanted to take Ye Xi away, but he was extremely unwilling. Bai Yue told Cang Qi that Ye Xi had promised him to stay in Fenghua Valley for a full year. Only then did Cang Qi realize that he had wrongly blamed Bai Yue, so he had no choice but to leave the room.
Seeing Cang Qi leave, Bai Yue quickly looked at the arrow wound on his chest, and found that it had completely healed. Xiao Shan reported to Cang Qi, and the ministers of the DPRK and China jointly signed the petition, hoping that Cang Qi would return to the capital and ascend the throne as emperor, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people. Cang Qi didn't want to become emperor at first, but all his subordinates knelt down and begged him to ascend the throne to strengthen the country, so he had no choice but to agree.
Cang Qi worriedly handed Ye Xi over to Bai Yue, and Bai Yue told him that if he and Ye Xi were together, he would be condemned by heaven and earth and suffer forever. Seeing this, Cang Qi intends to trust Bai Yue one last time, and tells him that he will go to Fenghua Valley immediately after the capital is settled. Seeing that Cang Qi was about to leave, Bai Yue handed him the newly prescribed prescription and told him to keep taking the medicine. Then Bai Yue took Ye Xi away in the carriage.
On the other side, Chu Yao and Lin Xiaoxiao waited at the place where Fenghua Valley must pass. Lin Xiaoxiao asked Chu Yao and herself to return to Yishui Villa. Chu Yao was a little scared and felt that she was not reserved enough. Lin Xiaoxiao asked Chu Yao why he didn't marry a wife because he was rich and beautiful. Chu Yao felt that the relationship between a man and a woman was too complicated. At this time, Bai Yue sent a letter to Chu Yao, saying that Ye Xi was seriously ill and returned to Fenghua Valley as soon as possible, and thanked the two for their help.
In Fenghua Valley, Uncle Hui had already transplanted herbs to the bottom of the hot spring according to Bai Yue's instructions. Bai Yue carried Ye Xi into the hot spring, intending to treat her with medicinal baths. Ye Xi woke up and said that Bai Yue had rescued him many times, but he didn't want to let him promise him with his body. He didn't know how to repay his kindness, so he kissed Bai Yue while talking.
At night, Uncle Hui walked into the room with the medicine, watched Ye Xi take the medicine, and kept testing what happened between her and Bai Yue in the hot spring. Ye Xi told him that both of them had kissed, but Bai Yue did nothing. Uncle Hui knew he couldn't persuade Bai Yue, so he encouraged Ye Xi to take the initiative. Seeing that Ye Xi was still worried, Uncle Hui told Ye Xi about Bai Yue's past and the story after Bai Yue met her. Only then did Ye Xi know that Bai Yue had been secretly helping and taking care of herself behind her back.
On the second day, Uncle Hui brought the medicine to Ye Xi and told her that it was Bai Yue who had been silently guarding Ye Xi despite his unforgiving words. Only then did Ye Xi realize that Bai Yue really liked her. Uncle Hui said that Bai Yue didn't want to go forward, why didn't she want to take two more steps forward. Ye Xi became even more confused after hearing Uncle Hui's words, and just wanted to be alone. After Uncle Hui left, Ye Xi drank a bowl of bitter medicine and poured another bowl of medicine into the potted plant. At this time, Bai Yue just appeared, and Ye Xi assured him that he would drink up the medicine in the future. Unexpectedly, Bai Yue said that Ye Xi's actions just now chilled him, so he sprinkled the medicine powder to make Ye Xi speechless.
At night, Ye Xi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. At this time, she found that there was a scripture of herbal medicine under her pillow, but when she looked closely, it was actually a romance between wood and stone. When Ye Xi flipped through it, he found that there was a sentence "Grass and trees have no heart", so Ye Xi began to think about what it means to feel distressed.
On the other side, Bai Yue handed over the new prescription to Uncle Hui. Seeing that Uncle Hui was about to leave, Bai Yue asked him if he had said anything to Ye Xi, but Uncle Hui refused to admit it, saying that Ye Xi was heartbroken and it was best to choose a lover as soon as possible to marry. After Uncle Hui left, Bai Yue took out the hairband embroidered with the word "Xi" prepared for Ye Xi, thinking that trying not to like him would have made him feel like a knife, and if he liked each other, it would kill him.
