When Imperial Physician Qu was diagnosing Ming Xiao's pulse, he looked troubled and was reluctant to reveal the diagnosis.He was well aware of the stakes involved, with the Queen Mother on one side and the Emperor on the other, and Liming kept saying that the Prince could not be saved.However, the emperor firmly believed that Long Zi was the true emperor and how could he be easily lost.Doctor Qu thought that instead of being held accountable in the future, it would be better to just go along with the situation now and claim that he was powerless.

When the Queen Mother heard that Longzi was in danger, she was angry and gave Mingxiao two choices: to become a nun or to be a groom.Dawn chose the latter without hesitation, and she was secretly glad that she was finally relieved of the burden of false pregnancy.So, she happily rinsed the bucket, as if she had been reborn.

After the emperor learned of this, he came to ask Mingxiao why he despised him so much.Mingxiao bluntly said that she neither liked money nor power, but just wanted to live her own life.The emperor was shocked by her frankness and was speechless for a moment.

After Yan Changyun learned of Liming's behavior, he came to talk to her.He blamed Mingxiao for blaming Xiao Quan for the miscarriage, which would only put her in a more dangerous situation.However, Mingxiao did not appreciate it, and the two had a fierce dispute.

Mingxiao was doing nothing in the palace, eating melon seeds, but was ridiculed by other palace ladies.Not to be outdone, she started fighting with everyone.In this chaos, Brother Dao was disfigured for no reason, but he never gave up on Dawn.Mingxiao felt grateful and accepted his kindness with a smile.

However, the palace ladies did not let Ming Xiao go.They found trouble again and knocked Mingxiao's meal to the ground.Just as Mingxiao was about to retort, Yan Changyun's appearance scared away the maids.Yan Changyun couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart when he saw Liming being bullied.

On the other side, the maids were panicking because they had not completed the tasks assigned by Eunuch Feng.They failed to force Liming back to the emperor, and they offended Yan Changyun. Neither party could afford to offend.Just when they were at a loss, Dawn heard their conversation.She went to the emperor angrily and asked why he had to use such despicable means to force her back to the palace.The emperor was speechless and left at dawn with a cold heart.

Yan Changyun found in the investigation records that Feng Gonggong used colored powder, which aroused his suspicion.He began to ask about the emperor's whereabouts on the night of Prime Minister Xiao's death.Wei Tianjiao recalled that that night the emperor dressed in women's clothing and sang for the queen, and even Eunuch Feng was not around.This clue made Yan Changyun suspicious, and he began to suspect that the emperor was related to Prime Minister Xiao's death.

The next day, Eunuch Feng personally shared the work of cleaning the palace bucket for Mingxiao, hoping that she could return to the emperor.However, Mingxiao has become accustomed to her current life, and she rejected Eunuch Feng's kindness.The emperor personally came to apologize to Mingxiao, hoping that she would change her mind.But Mingxiao firmly stated that she had adapted to her current life and did not want to go back to the past.The emperor left helplessly, but there was a trace of sadness in Mingxiao's heart.

In the court, the ministers proposed to kill all the remaining members of the Qin family, but they were severely rejected by the emperor.It turns out that this strategy was planned by Xiao Quan to force Qin Yan out.After Yan Changyun learned about this, he came to talk to the emperor.He told the emperor that he had found the murderer of Prime Minister Xiao and deduced that the murderer was the emperor.He pointed out that the colored powder was only owned by the palace, and that the method of killing was powerless, and that the makeup and singing were also to conceal his identity.The person singing the opera is not the emperor but Eunuch Feng.

The emperor was shocked by Yan Changyun's inference, and he admitted that he went to see Prime Minister Xiao that night.The two had a dispute over political differences, and the emperor left angrily.But Song Ting took it upon himself to kill Prime Minister Xiao and put the blame on “Guan You”'s old man.The emperor deeply regretted this. He admitted that he had been too hasty in handling Guan You's old affairs and had harmed so many people.He never thought that Duke Dingguo was related to Zhu Yinfen, and felt very guilty about it.

Yan Changyun was extremely grateful when he heard the emperor's words of trust in Duke Dingguo.He began to suspect that there was someone behind Song Ting, and this person was probably Xiao Quan.However, they were unable to deal with Xiao Quan.Yan Changyun decided to ask the emperor for the murder weapon to suppress Xiao Quan's arrogance.At the same time, he also begged the emperor for mercy, hoping that Chu Yue could be pardoned.The emperor agreed to his request.

Yan Changyun handed the murder weapon to Acheng and asked him to hide it in Song Ting's room.Although Ah Cheng was worried that offending Xiao Quan would put pressure on Yan Changyun, Yan Changyun couldn't care less.He is determined to uncover the truth and seek justice for Prime Minister Xiao.

In the court hall the next day, Lord Song still proposed to kill the remaining members of the Qin family.However, Yan Changyun stood up and revealed the truth at this time.He found the murder weapon used to kill Prime Minister Xiao in the Song family mansion, and found a silk thread in Prime Minister Xiao's fingernail.This silk thread originated from Song Ting's left shoulder and became the key evidence for the conviction.
