Amid suspicion and confusion, Lu Xier's identity has become the focus of everyone's attention.Xie Jingshu pressed on and tried to reveal her true face.Liu Yu'an's timely appearance rescued Lu Xi'er and proved her innocence, but it seemed that there was a deeper secret hidden in her heart.Faced with Li Mengjue's questioning, Lu Xier remained tight-lipped and refused to reveal even a single word.
The development of things did not stop there.During a meeting with Tu Lesu, Lu Xier was once again surrounded by people.Xie Jingshu smelled an unusual smell from the wormwood branch on the snow in her hand, and he guessed that Lu Xier's identity was far from simple as it appeared.Finally, Lu Xi'er confessed her true identity - the Northern Barbarian Saint and the legendary Artemisia on the Snow.Her appearance was not accidental, but she shouldered the secret mission of the Northern Barbarians.
Lu Xier's decision shocked everyone.She chose to leave and return to Beiman to complete her unfulfilled responsibilities as a saint.Faced with Jing Yan's request to stay, she was resolute and never looked back.Although Li Mengjue was deeply hit, under Xie Jingshu's persuasion, she chose the path of continuing to pursue the truth.
In Pingzhou, everyone discovered a new city that was exactly the same as the old city.It turns out that Pingzhou had its entire city relocated due to war and epidemics.However, there is something strange about the atmosphere in the new city.After entering the city, an incident in which a woman committed suicide by jumping into a river attracted everyone's attention.From the mouth of the maid who committed suicide, they learned about a peculiar custom in Pingzhou - worshiping a branch of artemisia in the snow as a god and holding a wedding ceremony to welcome the god.This custom actually led to tragedy due to the disappearance of the intended bride Yin Sanniang.
In order to uncover the relationship between Yin Sanniang and Artemisia on the Snow, everyone began to search for her whereabouts.In Huachaolou, they discovered striking similarities with the Huachaolou in Gyeonggi.However, Li Mengjue's impulsive behavior almost exposed their identities.At the critical moment, Xie Jingshu resolved the crisis with ingenious tactics.
Just when everyone was in trouble, Lu Xier suddenly received a secret letter, and she decided to leave secretly.Li Mengjue also expressed his feelings to Xie Jingshu at this time, and Xie Jingshu also responded to her feelings candidly.However, at this moment, Lu Xier and Jing Yan arrived in a hurry and broke the warm atmosphere.Lu Xier diagnosed that Li Mengjue was just faking death and fainting, but her sudden departure and subsequent encounters made everyone more worried.
In Xie Mansion, Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue reviewed the clues related to Bai Rui, and Jingyan locked Bai Rui's murderer in Liu Mansion.Lu Xier proposed to kidnap Liu Yuan for questioning, but Jingyan was forced to carry out the plan.However, Liu Yu'an insisted that Bai Rui's matter had nothing to do with Liu Mansion.In order to fulfill the lie, Li Mengjue asked Lu Xier to approach Liu Mansion, but he encountered an accident near Liu Mansion.Jingyan was injured while protecting Lu Xier, and the relationship between the two became more delicate.
At night, Bai Rui contacted Li Mengjue with the secret code of Suo Mingmen, and agreed to meet the next day to return the silver.However, Li Mengjue discovered that the silver coins were actually stolen silver, which made her more suspicious of Lu Xier's identity.At the same time, Yuan Ji and Xie Jingshu also had differences regarding the return of Artemisia on the Snow.Xie Jingshu only wanted to clarify the truth, while Yuan Ji was more concerned about Xie Jingshu's safety.
In Xie's mansion, Lu Xi'er was anxiously looking for Haibo Tu, but Li Mengjue had no idea about it.The dispute between the two forced Lu Xier to warn Li Mengjue about the importance of handing the picture to Suomingmen.However, Li Mengjue was unwilling to put Lu Xi'er in danger, and she decided to handle the matter herself.
