Suddenly there was a clear ringing of bells outside the window, breaking the tranquility of the night.Li Mengjue and Xie Jingshu immediately chased out in alarm, leaving Lu Xi'er alone. She called out to Jing Yan who was about to follow.

In the bamboo forest, Li Mengjue and Xie Jingshu carefully searched for the source of the sound, but the sound of the bell seemed to disappear out of thin air and they found nothing.At the same time, in Yin Sanniang’s residence, Lu Xier mustered up the courage to ask Jing Yan.She wondered why Jingyan chose to remain silent despite seeing her talking to someone in the bamboo forest.Jingyan looked at Lu Xi'er and said softly: “I believe you, you won't do anything to hurt everyone.” Lu Xi'er's heart was deeply touched by these words.

In the inn, everyone was in a deadlock because Yin Sanniang's clues were interrupted.Li Mengjue decided to adopt a risky plan. She decided to pretend to be a bride and go through the wedding ceremony to find the legendary wormwood on the snow.For safety reasons, Xie Jingshu and Jing Yan played the roles of the bride and the maid respectively.

As the night grew darker, Lu Xier met Tu Lesu on the outskirts of the city.Tu Lesu has been looking for Lu Xi'er's whereabouts, and now he threatens to take Lu Xi'er's life.However, Lu Xier claimed that he had a deal to discuss with him.

At the same time, Li Mengjue discovered a surprising fact.She discovered that Liu Chaoming actually knew Xie Jingshu, and through Xie Jingshu's words, she realized that Xie Jingshu's identity was not simple.Faced with Li Mengjue's questioning, Xie Jingshu acted very calmly. He pretended to be a general under Dingbei Hou and successfully concealed his past.

Afterwards, Xie Jingshu went to the mountain villa where Yuan Ji was located.Yuan Ji bluntly told him that he should not be involved in Liu Chaoming's matter, and revealed Xie Jingshu's plan to use this matter to attract the attention of the Holy Emperor.However, Xie Jingshu turned a deaf ear and insisted on continuing to explore the whereabouts of a branch of artemisia on the snow.

Soon, Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue came to Dingbei Hou Mansion together.Here, Li Mengjue finally revealed Xie Jingshu's true identity.It turned out that the Holy Emperor had already issued an order, ordering Xie Jingshu to go to Pingzhou to investigate the case.After learning the news, Li Mengjue decided to confess her life experience. She told Xie Jingshu that her father's death was also related to Artemisia on the Snow, and she hoped to go to Pingzhou with Xie Jingshu.

Later, Li Mengjue and Lu Xier came to Huachaolou to investigate.Surprisingly, they met Jing Yan here.Jingyan didn't want Lu Xi'er to misunderstand that he was nostalgic for the romantic place, so he pulled Xie Jingshu away.However, they accidentally knocked down Liu Yuan.Liu Yuan chased after him angrily, and Li Mengjue and Lu Xier also happened to go upstairs.Liu Yu'an blocked the door and asked Jing Yan to apologize.In order to avoid attracting the attention of others, Jingyan had no choice but to drag Xie Jingshu and Liu Yuan and hide behind the bed.

At this moment, a prostitute entered the room and was intimate with a woman on the couch.The three people behind the bed accidentally alerted the prostitute, and the woman ran out of the door in panic.Li Mengjue followed the sound and entered the room, only to see Bai Rui's body lying on the spot.She pretended to faint and got away.

Li Mengjue and Lu Xier, who returned to Xie's Mansion, began to be suspicious of Xie Jingshu.They believed that Xie Jingshu was well-informed and acted too calmly in Hua Chao Tower.At the same time, Jingyan was also dissatisfied with Xie Jingshu's concealment.
