Wu Xianer and his sister held a banquet at Wanguoxiang and specially invited Ye Ping'an to gather together.During the meal, Ye Ping'an asked Wu Xian'er why the emperor refused to meet him.Wu Xianer analyzed that either Ye Ping'an was acting inappropriately and violated the emperor's taboo; or the emperor had already understood what Ye Ping'an wanted, but had no intention of responding.Wu Xianer's views are quite consistent with Ye Ping'an's guess.Ye Ping'an then informed Wu Ankang that during the Battle of Jinwon, Li Zongxu did obstruct the transport of salt and grain to the border, but the private salt dealer captured by Wu Ankang had nothing to do with Li Zongxu.Ye Ping'an pointed out that Guangsi's envoy Gong Shao was behind the scenes, hinting that Wu Ankang had the opportunity to go to Dongqiao Salt Warehouse to find out.Wu Xian'er reminded him that if there is no conclusive evidence, do not confront Gong Shao head-on, so as not to alarm the enemy.

As August 15 approaches, Gu Erniang carefully made Hu cakes, half for sale, and half for Ping'an and three others to taste.The four of them sat in the yard, tasting the buns given by the old ghost and the Hu cakes made by Gu Erniang, laughing and laughing.Lu Danxin disguised himself as a clerk from Qixi Painting Shop and went to Haifu to deliver paint.On the way, she met an elderly poor man who was introduced to Haiyiping's study by the housekeeper.Lu Danxin quietly approached and eavesdropped, and learned from the old man that Ye Ping'an's real name was Gu Qing, and he was the initiator who used the sleeping technique to lure a woman into a abandoned house.Lu Dan was shocked and heartbroken.Little did they know that she and Ye Ping'an had long become the targets of surveillance under Hai Yiping.Hai Yiping expected that Lu Danxin would come to deliver paint today, so he specially arranged for the old man to come to Haifu again to retell the past.

When Hai Yiping reported to his superiors, he mentioned that he planned to transfer Xu Qing from the Holy Capital to block others' investigation.As for Ye Ping'an, Hai Yiping believes that his friends around him will be his biggest weakness.Once Ye Ping'an loses the trust of his friends, it will be a fatal blow to her.Although Lu Danxin has been with Ye Ping'an for a long time, he still has a little trust in him.She seemed to mention what she heard inadvertently, but she did not expect Ye Ping'an to admit that she was Gu Qing in person.Recalling the past, when Ye Ping'an was still a child, he was deceived by Du Liang and used the technique of sleep to lure three women into the abandoned house.Because of her young age, those women were unsuspecting to her.The owner of the butterfly pendant is Ruan Qin, who is the first survivor Ye Ping'an encountered in the fire in the abandoned house.

Lu Danxin was completely desperate for Ye Ping'an and decided to cut off friendship, do his own thing, and no longer obey her mercy.On a night of lightning and thunder, figures appeared in the Anxin Pavilion.When Ye Ping'an first saw him, he thought it was Lu Danxin who had returned, but when he approached, he saw it was Yuan Shaocheng.Ye Ping'an told Yuan Shaocheng that with Lu Danxin's personality, he might have gone to assassinate Hai Yiping at this moment.The reason why Ye Ping'an and Yuan Shao informed the city was because Hai Yiping knew the truth about the censor's case and he could not die yet.Yuan Shaocheng arrived in time, stopped Lu Danxin's crossbow shot at Hai Yiping, and handed Ye Ping'an's heart medicine manual to Hai Yiping.Lu Danxin's assassination operation was actually a bluff. Her real purpose was to design a % self-invested drama and wait for an opportunity to get Hai Yiping's words.However, Hai Yiping had already seen through her plan.

Not only did Hai Yiping not intend to kill Lu Danxin, he said that if she was willing to stay, she could take her to a place tomorrow.Under Hai Yiping's instruction, the old man from the tea stall talked about the past with Ye Ping'an, and deliberately caused an accident to fall into the water to test whether Ye Ping'an would lend a helping hand.What surprised Lu Danxin was that Ye Ping'an actually refused to save him when he saw him die.Hai Yiping held the letter of injustice written to him by Yu Qian in prison.If Lu Danxin is willing to help him get rid of Ye Ping'an, he can testify in front of Dali Temple Minister Guo Yu to prove that Lu Danxin was a survivor of the arson case that year.By then, Lu Danxin can reverse the case for the Censor.After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Danxin agreed to cooperate with Haiyiping.
