Li Yang apologized to the Zhuo family in shame, and she begged the Zhuo family not to hate Xie Qi for this.Mrs. Zhuo, who has a clear sense of grudges, promised that if Xie Qi returns with her son in the future, she will still be the daughter-in-law of the Zhuo family.At this time, King Yu wanted to bring the Zhuo family back to the palace for resettlement.Jingrui suddenly knelt down and called his parents with tears on his face.Mrs. Zhuo hugged him heartbrokenly and said: Good boy, you are not wrong, don't hurt yourself! This situation made Mei Changsu, who was standing by and feeling guilty, even more uncomfortable.

When Lai Yang saw Xie Yu, he surrounded and killed everyone regardless of the consequences. Knowing that Xie Yu had committed a crime, he could not save his life even if he came forward.She persuaded Xie Yu to commit suicide because she could protect his reputation and keep the Xie family's name clear for generations to come.However, Xie Yu believes that even if he has to die before he is desperate, he must die willingly, even if he fights to the death.

King Yu suspected that Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi were closely related, but his doubts were dispelled by Qin Banruo's words.

Prince Jing, who was unable to come forward, knew that the night was dangerous and felt very uneasy.He visited Su's house at night to find out the details.Meng Zhi was worried that King Yu would investigate why Mei Changsu knew about the eldest princess’s secret affairs back then.Mei Changsu reassured him.Because Mei Changsu secretly spread the word about this matter and guided King Yu to find out about it.That night, Gong Yu assassinated Xie Yu and fled to Hongxiuzhao, deliberately revealing the secret of the infanticide to Qin Banruo.After getting the news, King Yu came to Su Zhai with great interest and asked Mei Changsu to help him plan, and everything went smoothly.

Mei Changsu told Meng Zhi to suppress Yu Wenxuan during the hunt the day after tomorrow, so as not to make him think that all the generals in Daliang were like Xie Yu and give birth to wolfish ambitions.Mei Changsu's concern for the country and the people was beyond words, which made King Jing praise him as a national scholar.

King Yu went to the palace to report to Emperor Liang about Xie Yu, and begged him to be exempted from the crime of involvement.Emperor Liang agreed and asked Li Yang to move to the eldest princess' mansion with his children.

Xie Qi had a difficult delivery and unfortunately died trying to save the child.The eldest princess handed over the child to Zhuo Qingyao according to her last wish.Mei Changsu had already felt guilty about Jingrui, but he was even more sad after learning the news.He could only confide his helplessness and bitterness to the ignorant Fei Liu.

The first thing Xia Jiang, the leader of the Xuanjing Division, did after returning to Beijing was to punish Xia Dong for going beyond her duties in the Xuanjing Division and getting involved in party strife in violation of regulations, causing her to confine herself to reflect on her mistakes.Xia Jiang met with Emperor Liang and suggested that someone was behind Xie Yu's case.Emperor Liang believed that anyone who could influence Ningguo's government should not be underestimated, so he ordered him to investigate secretly.

Xia Jiang was ordered by Emperor Liang to visit Xie Yu in prison.It turned out that there had been collusion between him and Xie Yu.He promised Xie Yu that as long as he gritted his teeth, he could save his life.

King Jing showed great power in the paddock and was rewarded heavily by Emperor Liang.Mei Changsu secretly sent people to cut off the spies arranged by Hong Xiuzhao in the palaces of various courtiers.

King Yu came to Su's house in anger.It turned out that after Emperor Liang met Xia Jiang, he began to suspect that there was something fishy about Xie Yu's case.Xie Yu also denied to death the murder of an internal prisoner, a major crime that undermined the royal power, and only admitted to some crimes he had committed to help the prince.For a while, Emperor Liang was hesitant about what to do with Xie Yu.

According to Mei Changsu's arrangement, King Yu asked Zhuo Dingfeng to list the names of those killed by Xie Yu over the years.Many of the deceased Zhuo Dingfeng did not know the motive of the murder, such as the teacher Li Chongxin.Mei Changsu therefore speculated that Xia Jiang and Xie Yu did not have a close personal relationship, but he was so protective of Xie Yu that he might have hidden secrets. For example, Xie Yu had killed someone on Xia Jiang's behalf.
