The three kingdoms of Dayan, Xiyan, and Nanyue have been at war for years. The powerful Prince Murong Jinghe of Dayan (played by Liu Xueyi) led the Weibei Army to severely inflict heavy losses on the Xiyan Army. He returned to the court in triumph to receive the reward. Unexpectedly, his marching route was betrayed, and his entire army was wiped out., Jinghe, protected by the soldiers using their bodies as shields, managed to survive despite his severed tendons and veins.The court is strange and undercurrent is surging.As the center of the whirlpool, Jing He has never given up investigating the truth of the incident, uncovering the mastermind behind the scenes, and comforting the spirits of the fallen soldiers. To this end, Jing He develops a secret factory, trains dead soldiers, and plans the overall situation.The dead soldier Mei Lin (played by Wu Jinyan) has become the only dead chess piece in Jing He's revenge chessboard.Although Mei Lin is a dead soldier, he has a strong will to survive. In order to escape from the secret factory, he fought against Jing He.From the beginning, Jing He took extreme advantage and gradually found her true heart.Meilin went from being ignorant at the beginning to having first feelings.In the tug-of-war between the chess player and the chess piece, the two fell in love deeply and could not fall in love.

In the 14th year of the Zhaoming Dynasty, Murong Jinghe asked himself to regain Qingzhou. Later, he was stigmatized by the massacre of the city and was brutally besieged by the surviving people. As a result, his legs were unable to walk. He drank all day long due to the death of his mother and became depressed.Until this day, Mei Lin disguised himself as a beggar and intended to assassinate Murong Jinghe. Even though his legs were hit by arrows, he had to crawl hard, vowing that he would eventually have a chance to take revenge.

Before leaving, Princess Zigu heard that Meilin stayed at Prince Jing's Mansion last night and guessed that she was bullied by Murong Jinghe, so she took her to seek justice in person.Murong Jinghe took the opportunity to ask the beautiful women of Xiyan to compete in archery, and even selected a soldier to demonstrate. Because the soldier was not good at archery, he killed him on the spot, which shows the ruthlessness of General Rentu.

However, Mei Lin had doubts. She saw at a glance that the soldier was the assassin last night. She was frightened by Murong Jing and the depth of the city, fearing that she would be exposed.Princess Zi Gu is pure and kind-hearted, always thinking about Mei Lin's safety, and even stated that after she enters the capital, she will protect Mei Lin from harm as a princess, which makes Mei Lin very touched.

Now that Emperor Murong Qian allowed Murong Jinghe to return to the capital, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he intended to reconcile the father and son. However, few people know what the prince Murong Xuanlie did. One of the accomplices was Zhang Yin, the minister of the Ministry of War.Hearing that Murong Jinghe was going to escort Princess Xi Yan to Zhaojing, Zhang Yin was worried about the Dongchuang incident. Murong Xuanlie verbally attacked him, and he was bound to win the crown prince position.

Soon, the marriage procession entered Zhaojing in great force, and the people in the city lined the streets to watch, scorning Murong Jinghe as a massacre general and unworthy of returning to Zhaojing. There were even children singing nursery rhymes on the street insulting the Weibei Army.Because nursery rhymes represent public opinion and the aspirations of the people, Murong Xuanlie secretly planned this in order to arouse the anger of the people. As expected, the people smashed the vegetable leaves at Murong Jing and others, and opened their mouths in a panic and pretended to be threatening.The box of Beijun relics and the Weibei Army token fell to the ground, attracting Mei Lin's attention.

Murong Jing could bear the people humiliating him, but he couldn't bear the relics of the Weibei Army being trampled on. He became furious on the spot, frightening the brainless people who wanted to cause a riot.Murong Jinghe then gave money to several children and asked them to sing nursery rhymes about Commander Baigui. Today he was not the reviled General Tu, but the Commander Baigui of the Weibei Army.

Murong Qian summoned Murong Jinghe alone and reminded him that after ten years of self-examination in Jingzhou, he should change his ways and do good, and never embarrass Xi Yan again in the future.In fact, Murong Qian knew that his son returned to Zhaojing because of old affairs in Qingzhou. Murong Jing and Wuxiao had passed away, so he did not dare to mention the past again.

Mr. Liu arranged a residence for Princess Zigu and the daughters, saying that today was the death anniversary of the late empress and they could not enter the palace to meet the emperor yet.Princess Zi Gu was originally a little disappointed, but when she heard that her brother Yue Qin lived nearby, she smiled happily.The sound of the clock sounded, sad and long, and the person who touched it the most was undoubtedly Murong Jinghe, arousing the pain that had been buried in his heart.

Before Murong Jing and Lin left for Qingzhou, they promised their mother that they would take off their armor and change their clothes to get married. When the queen heard that Murong Jing and Lin had regained Qingzhou, she specifically asked the gods for an auspicious day. Unexpectedly, it ended up being the death day of the late queen.It was precisely in order to fulfill his promise to his mother that Murong Jinghe wore wedding clothes to pay tribute on the day she returned to the mausoleum. However, Murong Qian misunderstood and ordered him not to publicly worship the late queen from now on.

Mei Lin sneaked into Prince Jing's Mansion to steal the Weibei Army's token, and unexpectedly discovered that Qing Yan was interrogating the people who besieged Jing He during the day, and secretly saw what Murong Jing He said in front of the late Queen's tomb. Jing He revealed in his words that the late Queen did not believe her.It was not the real culprit who massacred the city, which made her feel increasingly puzzled.

After returning to the room, Mei Lin carefully observed the token in his hand and the token that was a relic of the Weibei Army, and found that the two tokens had different sounds.At this time, Murong Jinghe noticed something and came to Meilin's room in person. The two of them tested each other openly and secretly.In the middle of the night, Mei Lin received the news and went to see the owner of the secret factory. She was punished again and ordered to complete the assassination at the wedding banquet, otherwise she would not die three days later. However, she did not know that Murong Jinghe was the owner of the secret factory.

On a dark and windy night, Mei Lin transformed into a humble beggar. With a deep hatred for Murong Jinghe, he vowed to complete the unfinished assassination mission.Even though her legs were injured by arrows, she still crawled with amazing perseverance, the flame of revenge burning in her heart.At this moment, Princess Zigu mistakenly believed that Meilin had been humiliated, and resolutely took her to Prince Jing's Mansion to ask for an explanation. However, she unexpectedly got involved in a more complicated chess game.

Murong Jinghe used the archery competition to coldly demonstrate his iron-fisted methods. A soldier died tragically due to poor archery skills, but in fact that man was the assassin who failed last night.When Mei Lin saw this scene, her alarm bells rang in her heart, knowing that there was a secret hidden in it, and she might be exposed.Princess Zigu's innocence and care were like the warm sun in winter, making Mei Lin feel the long-lost warmth, but it also made her more determined to take revenge, and at the same time she was secretly worried.

In the capital, Murong Jinghe's return journey was full of thorns and curses. The people's anger surged like a tide, and they regarded him as a "human massacre general".However, when the relics of the Weibei Army were trampled on, he burst out with unprecedented anger and used money to guide children to sing the praises of the Hundred Ghosts coach, trying to save a bit of dignity.

In the dead of night, Mei Lin quietly overheard the whispers of Murong Jing and the late empress in front of her soul. The deep love and helplessness for his mother made Mei Lin's impression of him begin to become complicated.Another subtle difference between the token in her hand and the relic made her fall into deep doubts.Later, the two met unexpectedly, like two undercurrents meeting in the middle of the night, testing each other and each having their own agenda.

Since Murong Jinghe returned from Qingzhou, his mental outlook has become increasingly depressed, and he indulges in wine country every day, trying to numb the pain in his heart.Although Murong Xuanlie was full of resentment towards his younger brother for what he had done, on the surface he still maintained his concern for his brother. He visited Prince Jing's Mansion frequently, pretending to be concerned about his injuries, and mentioned treating his leg disease many times. In fact, the dialogue between the twoWith hidden tricks, each side is testing the other's bottom line.Murong Jinghe had already realized in his heart that the prince's hand must be behind the sudden fire in Qingzhou.

It was precisely because of the insight into the military discipline of the Weibei Army that it did not disturb the people that the mastermind behind the scenes planned the tragedy of the people in Qingzhou besieging the military camp. As a result, deputy general Yang Donghu died heroically, and Murong Jing and himself suffered heavy injuries, with both legs disabled.In the secret room, he faced the souls of all the soldiers in the army and worshiped them with Qing Yan. He made an oath in his heart to reveal the truth, punish the real culprits severely, and never show mercy again.

Meilin stared at the ink vein mark on his arm, the secret order of the secret factory owner echoing in his mind. He was confused about the complex situation behind the Qingzhou fire, and struggled in his heart whether to carry out the assassination mission.Princess Zigu's visit was like a ray of sunshine penetrating the gloom. Her optimism and innocence made Meilin temporarily forget her troubles, and also made her begin to re-examine her mission and choices.

At the same time, Prince Yue Qin of Xi Yan learned the news that his sister had come to Beijing, and went to meet him impatiently. However, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Mei Lin. He hurriedly chased but failed, leaving only a Qingzhou knot.As a thought.Yue Qin, this prince who was not taken seriously in Western Yan, was rescued by Mei Lin during the war, and he secretly felt emotional in his heart.Now as a proton in the Great Flame, the unexpected reunion with Mei Lin made him feel mixed emotions, both lucky and regretful.

At the wedding banquet, Princess Zigu was canonized as Concubine Yan and moved into the Fanghua Hall.Murong Qian took the opportunity to divide the beauty, while Murong Xuanlie took the opportunity to attack Mei Lin, trying to test the reactions of all parties by asking for her.At the critical moment, Murong Jinghe stood up from the wheelchair desperately, declared his love for Meilin, and protected her in his arms to protect her identity from being revealed.Meilin took the opportunity to whisper in Murong Jinghe's ears, using fake tokens as bait, seeking his help to prove innocence.Later, although she stabbed Murong Jinghe, she was unharmed because of the soft gold armor he wore.

Murong Qian was pleased with his son's recovery, while Murong Xuanlie had deeper doubts about Mei Lin's identity.Murong Jinghe cleverly planned to use Zhang Yin's greed and fear to gradually reveal the conspiracy behind the prince.Although Mei Lin was imprisoned, he relied on his tenacious will and desire for life to find hope of survival in despair.Murong Jinghe was moved by her tenacity and secretly arranged a Qingyan banquet to protect her in case of accidents.

As Meilin was imprisoned, the people of Dayan were in an uproar, accusing Xi Yan of evil intentions, and the peaceful bond between the two countries seemed to be in turmoil again.Yue Qin was so anxious that he waited at the palace gate all night with his servants carrying books and ink, just to ask to see the Holy Emperor and clarify the misunderstanding.Until the morning light first appeared, Eunuch Liu Zhong brought Tianyin. Although the assassination had nothing to do with Xi Yan, Mei Lin's life was hanging by a thread.

Unwilling to give up, Yue Qin took advantage of Princess Zigu's cover and cleverly sent light fruit cakes to the imperial edict, intending to rescue his best friend by feigning death.Unexpectedly, Zhang Yin spied this opportunity and felt evil in his heart. He decided to use the hands of Yue Qin to send the poisonous cake into the mouth of Mei Lin.

At the same time, Murong Jing and Zuzui Huajian were filled with worries about Mei Lin's life and death.Beside him, the queen's old servant used the metaphor of wild flowers to talk about perseverance and humility, touching Jinghe's heartstrings and thinking secretly about Meilin's situation.At this moment, a disguised jailer arrived with poison cakes, and Mei Lin saw through it quickly. After a fight, Murong Jinghe arrived in time and saved the day.

Mei Lin confronts Jing He and insists that the other party is not behind the scenes. She is willing to bear the name of massacre and does not reveal the truth about Qingzhou. She knows the loyalty and bravery of the real Weibei Army and vows to expose the mystery of the fake token.Yue Qin saw Jing He leaving and took the opportunity to test them. They had different thoughts.

The next day, Zhang Yin proposed a plan to Murong Xuanlie. Suspected King Jing used the assassination case to lure out Mo Mai and plot an old settlement in Qingzhou.Xuanlie was worried that the situation was out of control and wanted to eliminate the root causes to protect himself.Jing He then went to the palace to face the emperor, begging Emperor Yan to consider the overall situation and pardon Mei Lin, and cleverly planned to blame the assassination on personal grudges to save the face of both countries.Princess Zi Gu also supported Mei Lin, and Jing He was willing to be punished and flogged himself to protect each other with his life.

Afterwards, Mei Lin was grateful and revealed clues about the fake token, and the two vowed to solve the mystery of Qingzhou together.Jing and Geng secretly made up their minds to find an antidote for Mei Lin.Yue Qin visited him affectionately and advised him to let go of his worries and not to let hatred consume him for the rest of his life.Murong Xuanlie ordered Zhang Yin to eradicate the remnants of Momai. At the same time, he learned that Yin Luomei had returned and hatched a plan.

After confirming that Mei Lin's words were true and that someone forged a token to impersonate the Weibei Army, Murong Jinghe decisively ordered a thorough investigation of the Military Department, vowing to uncover the plot of the East Palace.He speculated that the prince was most likely to abandon Zhang Yin as a shield to protect himself, so he decided to wait and see what happened, waiting for Zhang Yin to bite back, while he reaped the benefits.

At the same time, Yin Luomei, who had returned from the border, was anxious. After learning what happened to Murong Jinghe, he immediately returned to Zhaojing and sent people to send supplements to show his concern.Qing Yan marveled at Yin Luomei's affection, but Jiang Tu felt aggrieved for her, thinking that it was unfair to give gifts every year without getting a response.While Jiangtu was talking, Murong Xuanlie's gift arrived, which caused ripples in Yin Luomei's heart. Although she said she was saving her comrades on the surface, she actually secretly admired Murong Jinghe in her heart.In the dead of night, when everyone was quiet, Murong Jinghe came unexpectedly and asked Yin Luomei for red poria seeds, hoping to drink away his sorrow.Looking at his decadent appearance, Yin Luomei finally couldn't bear it and gave it to him as a gift.Later, after learning that Mei Lin broke into Wenhua Pavilion alone, Murong Jinghe rushed to the scene and rescued Mei Lin who was trapped in the sea of ​​​​fire.

In the palace, Mei Lin fell into an illusion because of Chi Fuzi, and Murong Jing and Wen Wen guided her back to reality.After waking up, Mei Lin found that the poison in her ink veins had been temporarily suppressed, but the doctor told her that this medicine could only delay her life for one year, and her life would be hanging by a thread if she took it again.Although Murong Jinghe felt desperate, he still ordered the doctor to work hard to develop an antidote.On the other side, after the Wenhua Pavilion incident, Zhang Yin's life or death was uncertain. Murong Xuanlie received the report and secretly made plans in his heart.Murong Qian decided to let Honglu Temple start school in advance and sent Zigu to inspect it. Yue Qin took the opportunity to propose his own teaching of beauties, which was approved.
