Si Zuxian was determined to clear his name of evil spirits on the execution ground.He angrily showed his red blood and ordered Si Zulong to be captured, and the situation fell into chaos.Sizulong fell into confusion, and the wizard Zhongtai was also taken away by the guards.The situation turned around, Yan Yue and the assassin organization Feng Dao arrived in time and subdued Si Zulong's men.The ministers knelt down to Si Zuxian and asked him to punish them for failing to protect the king.Si Zuxian decisively ordered that anyone who questions his identity will be severely punished.
Yanyue was confused by the behavior of the wizard Zhongtai, and she asked about his motives, but the wizard Zhongtai remained silent and disappeared into the night.At this time, the palace maid Hong Jun walked out of the dungeon with difficulty. She pulled out the arrow on her body and thanked Yan Yue for her willingness to treat her.In the memory, Yanyue learned about Hong Jun's grievance. She was threatened by Si Zulong and had to give in. Yanyue helped her escape, but was arrested during the escape.
In fact, Ergui stood up resolutely after confirming that Guier was in danger.In the interrogation field, that person was not Si Zulong.However, Ergui succeeded in turning the situation around, and in the name of Si Zuxian, he asked the chamberlain Ling and Chi Quanshu to pay close attention to Si Zulong, the Prime Minister, and the queen.Although Si Zuxian was left at the meeting place with Ergui, he received an explanation from Ergui. It turned out that the wizard Zhongtai wanted to force Ergui to show up, so he used tranquilizer darts to make Si Zuxian physically weak.
Since Sizuxian is unable to speak, Ergui tells him that they can communicate through the mind.The first thing Si Zuxian thought of was Yanyue.Ergui assured him that Gui'er was safe and sound, and that the woman who was shot was Hong Jun.Ergui moved Si Zuxian to the bed so that he did not have to sleep on the floor, and began to talk about the effect of tranquilizing darts.However, a chamberlain announces the presence of the queen and her father, forcing Ergui to take action.
On the other hand, Wu Da and Jin Hua plan to verify whether Ergui has taken control of the body and consider how to use this situation to their own benefit.Wu Da asked Jinhua to sleep with Ergui because he thought Ergui was easy to control.
At the same time, Yanyue asked the chamberlain to arrange for her to talk to Ergui.She learns that Si Zuxian is immobile due to the tranquilizer darts, and asks Ergui to let Si Zuxian know that she is safe and will do her best to help him recover.Suddenly, they received news that Si Zulong was unwell.
After examination, Guier judged that he was suffering from contagious influenza, which was bound to spread throughout the country.Guier ordered Ergui to control the epidemic, and he went all out, summoning all doctors and sending them to treat the sick, especially the poor.While Ergui works to unite the kingdom, Chief Minister Wu Da privately blames Ergui for the spread of the disease and wonders if he will curse the country.However, the Wind Knife assisted in bringing patients from various villages to the treatment camps.
Even during the lockdown, Sizulong continued to cause chaos in the kingdom.As the plague broke out, rumors about Si Zuxian evolved into suggestions that the cursed king would bring plague to the country.In prison, Si Zulong's men began calling him king, convinced that he would seize the throne.
Meanwhile, outsiders continued to doubt Si Zuxian and accused him of causing the plague.The ministers were no exception at the assembly, and the envoys from Zhenxing Kingdom demanded the release of Si Zulong and wanted to see Si Zulong, but this did not improve the situation.On a positive note, Yanyue found medical books from her grandmother documenting similar plagues that occurred in the past.She found the herbs mentioned in the book, gave them to the doctor, and then went to the palace to treat Si Zulong.Fortunately, he regained consciousness and began to improve.
Meanwhile, Concubine Zheng pleads with Queen Jinhua to release Si Zulong.However, Jinhua knew that Si Zulong was not Si Zusheng's son, so he ordered Concubine Zheng to be demoted to a palace maid and detained in her residence.Jinhua generously offered to spare Concubine Zheng's life and warned her not to interfere again.
