Xiao Xun was in a hurry to march, and on the way he detained the Chu Cen family members who were carrying messages for the Chu Dynasty, hoping to use Chu Tang as a bargaining chip to force the Chu Dynasty to change its mind.After Chu Tang was brought to the camp, he did not show any obvious resistance, but instead followed Xiao Xun's words and pretended to cater to him.Xiao Xun thought that she was just a girl from a branch of the Chu family and it was not difficult to handle her, so he relaxed his guard against her.However, Chu Tang secretly took note of the deployment of defenses in the camp, and passed the news to Xiaoman and others in Cangmu Village while the guards were changing.

Xiaoman sneaked into Xiao Xun's camp with the Cangmuzhai brothers and joined forces with Chu Tangli and Yingwai.Chu Tang looked weak on the surface, but he didn't hesitate when he actually took action.She first lured the guards away, and then tried to trick the people around Xiao Xun into thinking that there was something wrong with the letter from the palace.There was chaos in the camp, and Xiaoman took the opportunity to seize the seal.It wasn't until Xiao Xun found out that the seal was missing that he realized that Chu Tang had been stalling for time from the beginning.He was furious, but he was counterattacked by Cangmu Village and the Chu family's secret line. The bargaining chip originally used to threaten the Chu Dynasty became his own flaw.

In the Xiaonan Palace, the Chu Dynasty continued to put pressure on Xiao Hong.She did not reveal the news about Xiao Xun's seizure of the seal immediately, but kept letting Xiao Hong see that the situation was not good for the palace.Xie Yanfang led his troops in the capital in a high-profile manner, as if he was ready to attack the rebels in the name of the young emperor at any time; while the Chu Dynasty calmly negotiated terms in the palace, forcing Xiao Hong to choose between his son and the entire palace.Both sides seem to be doing their own thing, but in fact they cooperate very well.

Xiao Hong finally wavered after weighing the pros and cons.He knew that once Xiao Xun failed, the Xiaonan Palace would be implicated; if he retreated at this time and accepted the title of King of Zhen, he could at least keep the foundation of the Palace.In order to ensure a smooth future, Deng Yi drafted a decree to exempt Xiao Hong from the crime, gradually placing all the blame on Xiao Xun alone.Xiao Xun has changed from a guardian to a proton. The person who used to think he was in control of the overall situation finally tasted the feeling of being abandoned by his relatives and allies.

The Chu Dynasty did not relax because Xiao Xun was temporarily restrained.She knew that Xiao Xun was the best at enduring humiliation and pretending. As long as he was given a chance, he would drag everyone into the abyss like he did in his previous life.She asked Chu Tang and Cangmuzhai to retreat to a safe place first, and then ordered people to keep an eye on the movements of the Xiaonan Palace.Xie Yanlai became increasingly silent after this round of changes.The shadow of the conspiracy still weighed on his heart. He didn't want to continue to be his brother's shadow, and he didn't want Chu Chao to bear the Xie family's sins every step of the way.After Xiao Xun was taken as a hostage, Xie Yanlai finally decided to return to Gaoyang and personally find out the truth about Xie Yanfang and the poison.

After Chu Tang succeeded in seizing the seal, he did not evacuate immediately.She knew that the big seal was just the first step to slow down Xiao Xun. If the morale of the soldiers in the camp was not disrupted, Xiao Xun would be able to regroup soon.She deliberately released the news that Xiaonan Palace had reached an agreement with the Chu Dynasty, and Xiao Hong was ready to give up Xiao Xun in exchange for the title of King of Zhen.The generals in the camp were originally dissatisfied with Xiao Xun's repeated defeats, but they were shaken after hearing these words.Xiao Xun wanted to force it down, but found that without the big seal, his military orders were not as smooth as before.Taking advantage of the chaos, Chu Tang took Xiaoman and others out of the camp and sent the news back to the Chu Dynasty.

When Xiao Xun was held as a hostage, he still tried to impress the Chu Dynasty with his old feelings.He said that he had really wanted to be with her, and also said that if Xie Yanfang and Deng Yi had not interfered, the two would not be where they are today.After hearing this, Chu Chao felt ridiculous.In his previous life, he strangled her with his own hands, and in this life, he caused her parents to die in war and the border to be in turmoil, but now he still wants to blame others.She didn't argue with him and just asked him to be escorted off.Xiao Xun watched her go away, and finally realized that the Chu Dynasty who had been willing to disobey his father for him had died in the palace in his previous life.
