You Fangyin was held hostage by Zhou Yinzhi. When he saw that Zhou Yinzhi was about to escape, he took the initiative to grab Zhou Yinzhi's leg, so he was killed by Zhou Yinzhi.

Zhou Yinzhi who escaped was caught up by Dao Qin. You Fangyin was already dying when Jiang Xuening and Lu Xian arrived.Before she died, You Fangyin said that Jiang Xuening looked at her as if she were looking at someone else. All she did was to hope that Jiang Xuening would not be disappointed in herself.Then You Fangyin died in Lu Xian's arms.

Dao Qin captured Zhou Yinzhi, Jiang Xuening wanted to kill Zhou Yinzhi, but before Dao Qin took action, Lu Xian raised his sword and killed Zhou Yinzhi to avenge You Fangyin.

In the court hall, while the officials were waiting for Shen Lang, they saw Xue Yuan appearing with the imperial edict. They learned from Xue Yuan that Shen Lang had passed away and had decreed that Shen Jie would succeed him and Xue Yuan would supervise the country.The officials had doubts about the content of the imperial edict, and were later ordered to be placed under house arrest by Xue Yuan.

On the other side, Shen Lang, who was still alive, was sent to Xue Shu's palace. Seeing this, Xue Shu wanted to strangle Shen Lang to death.

Jiang Xuening was saddened by You Fangyin's death. When Dao Qin mentioned the situation between Xie Wei and Yan Lin, he immediately led the Yan family's army into the secret passage of the palace.

At the same time, Xie Wei and Zhang Zhe, who were in the capital, were surrounded and suppressed by the Xingwu Guards. Due to insufficient numbers, the two were beaten and seriously injured.

Just when Xue Yuan thought he had a chance to win, the Yan family's army appeared and surrounded everyone. Only then did Xue Yuan realize that he had fallen into the trap. He learned from Xie Wei that as early as when Xie Wei set out for the border pass, Xie Wei had known each other and set up a plan.He made a plan to kill King Pingnan and the Xue family.

On the other side, Shen Lang woke up when Xue Shu took action and gave an order to summon soldiers to control Xue Shu.

After listening to what Xie Wei said, Xue Yuan learned that Shen Lang had ordered the Yan family and his son to leave Huangzhou, but Xie Wei did not correct himself.Xie Wei was dissatisfied when he heard Xue Yuan say that he was his son. He took the initiative to cut his own hand with a sword and broke the father-son relationship with Xue Yuan with his blood.

Xie Wei was turning around to leave. Jiang Xuening appeared and saw Xue Yuan about to attack Xie Wei. Jiang Xuening reminded Xie Wei that Xie Wei was still stabbed. At the same time, Xue Yuan was also shot dead by Dao Qin.

Jiang Xuening was very worried when she saw Xie Wei's serious injury. She regretted not agreeing to marry Xie Wei, and then saw Xie Wei wake up and broke into tears and kissed Xie Wei with a smile.

Shen Lang ordered Xue Shu to die with poisoned wine. Before the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, he passed the throne to Qin Guifei's son, and then ordered Xie Wei and Gu Chunfang to be associate ministers.

Xie Wei married Jiang Xuening and gave birth to a son and a daughter. The family lived in seclusion in the villa and were often visited by Zhang Zhe, Yan Lin, Shen Zhiyi and others.
