Xu Changping is the unrecognized cousin of the chief secretary of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace and the crown prince Xiao Dingquan. He is also the driving force behind the frame-up of the crown prince in the Chunwei case and the court trial case.Because of the grudges between his parents, he repeatedly framed the prince. After a trip back to his hometown, he learned from his mother that Xiao Dingquan's biological mother was his mother's savior.Xu Changping, who had mixed feelings, wanted to make up for his mistakes. In the nursery rhyme case, he used the mouth of Lu Wenxi, whose pseudonym was Gu Sese, to remind Xiao Dingquan that Xiao Dingquan's uncle Gu Silin was the initiator of the nursery rhyme case.Xiao Dingquan was very puzzled that Xu Changping betrayed him in the Chunwei case, but then helped him in the nursery rhyme case. He didn't know what his purpose was.

When Xiao Dingquan asked Xu Changping the reason, Xu Changping said nothing, and Xiao Dingquan punished him by not being able to eat until he told him.Prince Zhao secretly sneaked into the East Palace under the orders of Xiao Dingkai and told Lu Wenxi that Xiao Dingkai would help Lu Wenxi take care of her younger brother Lu Wenjin in Changzhou.Xiao Dingkai also entrusted his commander and sent a message to Lu Wenxi, telling Lu Wenxi that he could escape from the East Palace through the back door of the Lu Mansion, so that Lu Wenxi would not reveal his identity and report to Guangchuan County, so that Xiao Dingkai's crime of deceiving the emperor would be confirmed.When Changhe walked out of Lu Wenxi's room, he happened to be bumped into by Xiao Dingquan. Xiao Dingquan knew that people from Guangchuan County were looking for Lu Wenxi, so he pretended to care about Lu Wenxi without knowing it, and thoughtfully fed Lu Wenxi porridge.Wenxi wanted the unhappy Lu Wenxi to tell him the difficulties.Lu Wenxi thought about Changhe's warning but did not tell Xiao Dingquan what he was thinking.

Seeing that he couldn't find out, Xiao Dingquan didn't force it. He hugged Lu Wenxi and said that no matter what it was, he just hoped that Lu Wenxi would get better. He still had many things to do with Lu Wenxi.Xu Changping couldn't stand the hunger but confessed the truth to Xiao Dingquan, saying that his mother was the maid beside Xiao Dingquan's mother. Xiao Dingquan invited Wang Weng, an old man in the palace, to confront Xu Changping.Xu Changping said that his mother's surname was Song, and that his mother served the late empress when she was still in Prince Xiao's palace. His mother became pregnant out of wedlock in the palace, and the first empress helped take care of his mother and helped cover up the situation when she was sent out of the palace.Wang Weng recalled his wife named Song, but when he thought about it, he left the palace with Jiang Shanggong.

Xu Pingchang went on to add that his mother became delirious when she returned to Yuezhou to serve as the Xu family's aunt and practice Buddhist temple.That's why Xu Pingchang said that before he returned home, he misunderstood that the late empress was the one who harmed his mother, so he colluded with Li Baizhou. Later, he learned that the late empress was his benefactor and changed his ways.After Xu Pingchang explained to himself, he pretended to be hungry and fainted.In fact, Xu Pingchang also concealed some facts from Xiao Dingquan, that is, his father was the elder brother of the current emperor.After repenting, he just wanted to stay with Xiao Dingquan and help Xiao Dingquan fulfill He Qinghaiyan's ideal. He hoped that Xiao Dingquan could forgive him when he learned the truth in the future.
