Mingxiao relived her childhood fears in the dream of being seriously injured. In the dream, she screamed for her little brother to escape. When she woke up, she was still murmuring Yan Changyun's name.Yan Changyun held her hand heartbrokenly and gave her silent comfort.The queen learned of Mingxiao's injury and hurried to visit her, and met Xiao Quan on the way.Xiao Quan pretended to be concerned about Mingxiao's injury, but in fact he had a ulterior motive and wanted to find out whether Mingxiao was still alive.He went with the queen and observed everything secretly.

After waking up at dawn, Yan Changyun personally took care of her and fed her medicine.She looked at the new clothes on her body and realized shyly that Yan Changyun had put them on for her.At this time, the emperor suddenly visited, and Yan Changyun hurriedly covered Ming Xiao with a quilt, for fear that the emperor would discover her true identity.The emperor asked about Mingxiao's injuries and the murderer. Mingxiao hesitated to speak, and finally chose silence in order to protect the queen.The emperor wanted to take Liming back to the palace to heal his injuries, but Yan Changyun declined because he was too seriously injured to move.

When Xiao Quan left, his eyes revealed fear and uneasiness towards Mingxiao.He knew that Liming was Bai Yi's man, but he didn't identify him this time, probably out of some concern.He decided to let Dawn go for now, as it might be useful in the future.Wei Tianjiao investigated the scene and concluded that Mingxiao was injured by an acquaintance, and told Yan Changyun about this discovery.Yan Changyun privately asked Liming if he knew the murderer, but Liming remained tight-lipped and vowed to take revenge himself.

Yan Changyun applied medicine to Mingxiao and took off her coat.He concealed her identity as a woman and lied to protect Chiba Wei's reputation and did not want them to be punished for their dereliction of duty.Chuyue encountered a provocation while going out. Fortunately, a master secretly helped her.When Xiao Quan saw this, he asked Xueying to come forward to rescue him, and Chu Yue felt grateful to Xiao Quan for this.

Yan Changyun speculated that Prime Minister Xiao's death may be related to Xiao Quan, because Xiao Quan was the person who profited the most and had behaved strangely recently.At this time, Ah Cheng came to report that Chuyue had been targeted by Xiao Quan, and the contact with Mingxiao was forced to be interrupted.Chu Yue played for Xiao Quan in the suburbs. Xiao Quan admired her piano skills and revealed his understanding of her life experience.Chuyue was shocked and admitted her identity.Xiao Quan promised to clear her grievances and rewarded her.

As Mingxiao's injuries gradually recovered, she accidentally discovered the scene of Yan Changyun entering the brothel, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart.She ran to the brothel, but unexpectedly bumped into the conversation between Yan Changyun and Chu Yue.Chuyue expressed her gratitude to Yan Changyun and made him a piece of clothing with her own hands.Ming Xiao impulsively grabbed his clothes and left with Yan Changyun.The brothel mother told Chu Yue that Li Ming was actually a woman and reminded her not to lose this money-spinner.

The emperor visited again at night and wanted to take Mingxiao back to the palace to live.Mingxiao cleverly cooperated with Yan Changyun to coax the emperor back to the palace.While training at dawn the next day, Yan Changyun came to care about her injury.However, Liming brought up the clothes issue because she was jealous of Chu Yue, and then she decided to make clothes for Yan Changyun herself to prove her strength.However, due to lack of experience, she ended up with only one piece of fabric, which was embarrassing.

The emperor deliberately pretended to be ill in order to let Dawn return to him.After learning about it, Mingxiao hurriedly came to visit, but was forcibly taken away by Yan Changyun on the grounds that the emperor needed to rest.The two argued endlessly on the way back to the camp, and Yan Changyun suspected that the emperor was pretending to be sick.This detail reminded Yan Changyun that the murderer of Prime Minister Xiao might also be a man, and he began to re-examine the clues of the entire case.
