Episode 7
Xia Dong didn't believe that it was King Yu who ordered him, and was about to continue questioning him. Suddenly, a barrage of arrows came and shot the leader to death.Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were worried about Xia Dong and escorted her into the city.Zhuo Qingyao has been following him.
Mei Changsu is preparing to move out of Ningguo Hou Mansion.He was taken to see the house by Mu Qing, and when he arrived, he found that Nihuang was already waiting in the garden.The two walked and talked.Nihuang was suspicious of Mei Changsu's identity. She probed him every step of the way, and led him to the door of Chi Yanshuai's former residence.Mei Changsu felt very sad when he first saw his former residence.He was afraid that he could not control himself, his emotions would be exposed, and Nihuang would see the flaw, so he refused to enter the house for inspection, so he said goodbye and left.Nihuang looked at his leaving figure, doubts still lingering in her heart.
Nihuang showed no mercy, defeating the remaining contest winners one by one and presenting an apology.Emperor Liang was very angry when he saw that the marriage recruitment failed and he could not let Nihuang marry in the capital as he wished.He believed that the Yunnan Prince's Palace was dominating and important, and he could not let her return to Yunnan easily.
Xie Bi was interfered by Xie Yu and was not allowed to serve King Yu anymore, so he complained to Xiao Jingrui.During the conversation, he revealed that he had been serving King Yu for two years under the instruction of his father, and that his father was the prince of the East Palace.This incident shocked Xiao Jingrui.
Xia Dong visited Mei Changsu and had a disagreement with Fei Liu. The two sides competed and Xia Dong lost.For the sake of Nihuang's happiness and safety, Xia Dong bluntly asked Mei Changsu if he had any admiration for Nihuang.Mei Changsu suppressed the sourness in his heart and replied that he was weak and could not drag Nihuang down, and he only wanted to be the friend of a gentleman.
Xia Dong came out of the snow cottage and met Xie Yu.She exposed the fact that Xie Yu secretly supported the Prince of the East Palace and ordered assassins to intercept and kill her in the suburbs of Beijing.However, remembering that Xie Yu had brought back the body of her late husband Nie Feng, she refused to report it or pursue any further investigation. The two men settled their grudges.
The Qingguo public land invasion case has been unresolved.The prince and King Yu competed to be the chief judge, but Emperor Liang refused.Meng Zhi took the opportunity to hint to Emperor Liang, saying that the Duke of Qing held a high position and needed the prince to preside over the case, reminding Emperor Liang of Prince Jing.Not long after, King Jing was summoned to the palace and he served as the chief judge.
Mei Changsu bought the Orchid Garden and invited Jingrui and Yujin to explore the garden together.Due to years of disrepair, the garden is overgrown with grass and gloomy.Yujin almost fell into a dry well and accidentally lost his jade pendant.Jing Ruiyuan went down the well to search and found dead bodies in the well.Jingzhao Yamen, who rushed to the scene after receiving the report, unexpectedly dug up more than ten female corpses from the well! The case of corpses hidden in dry wells was horrifying and shocked the capital.
The prince and Xie Yu learned that the mastermind behind Nihuang's distress was Mei Changsu, and concluded that he had turned to King Yu, so they decided to get rid of him.Xie Yu sent Zhuo Dingfeng to test the reality first.
