With Liu Hong's arrest, Zhou Jingyuan's vigilance reached its peak.He quickly deployed Lin Su to handle Liu Hong's follow-up matters, and eagerly requested to meet with Su Nian Lingxi, eager to learn all the details of the Liuzhou incident.

Ashina Yueling received a pair of jade Ruyi from the emperor as a reward for his meritorious service in disaster relief, and was invited to attend the royal banquet two days later with Zhou Shiyu.Zhou Jingyuan was deeply angry at Su Nian Lingxi's failure and wanted to harm Su Nian.However, Lingxi wisely revealed the important discovery of this trip - Zhou Shiyu and Yue Ling seemed to have the ability to predict the future and found a precious antidote.In order to have a deeper understanding of this mysterious power, Zhou Jingyuan decided to invite Zhang Tianshi to attend the banquet the next day.

Yue Ling knew that her first appearance in the palace did not leave a good impression on the old concubine, so she decided to prepare carefully prepared gifts to improve her relationship with the old concubine.She invited Qin Siyuan to go to the West Market to pick out gifts, especially hoping to find jewelry with Dong Yu's characteristics.While wandering around, Yue Ling was attracted by a mutton kebab stall. Just as she was about to taste the food, officers and soldiers suddenly appeared and sealed the stall, and the three of them had to flee in a hurry.

After a series of twists and turns, Yue Ling finally entered the palace to attend the banquet with a satisfactory gift.However, as soon as the banquet started, Zhou Shiyu was summoned by the old concubine alone.The old concubine proposed to adopt Princess Dongyu as a concubine, but Zhou Shiyu firmly rejected it. He made it clear that Yue Ling would be his only princess.Gao Luoyi's provocation was stopped by Zhou Shiyu who arrived in time, saving Yue Ling from embarrassment.

Su Nian felt uneasy. Although she escaped by chance, the changes in the future still made her feel uneasy.She felt deeply sorry for Xingyi, while Xingyi tested Su Nian's reaction by pretending to look for a dancer, and was very happy to see her dissatisfaction.

At the banquet, Yue Ling's gift, a hunting hat, was inconspicuous to the nobles.Zhou Zhixuan tried to defend her, but was rejected by the old concubine because she was a legitimate concubine.Zhou Jingyuan even took the opportunity to create difficulties and asked Yue Ling to perform a bowl lantern dance to entertain him.Although Yue Ling thought this was inappropriate, she still agreed in order to save the emperor and Zhou Shiyu's face.

After the dance, the emperor praised Yue Ling's talent and allowed her to make a request.Yue Ling bravely made a request to abolish the Dongyu people's status in Beishuo. Although the emperor said that it would take time to consider, her bravery and persistence won the respect of many people present.

However, while everyone was enjoying snacks, the Longxu Cake that Yue Ling ate was poisoned, and she died on the spot.Seeing this, Zhou Shiyu ate a piece of Dragon Beard Cake without hesitation and chose to live and die with her.After traveling through time and being reborn, Yue Ling insisted on a drug test on the spot, but the emperor did not make his position clear.

After the banquet, the emperor ordered Zhou Shiyu to find out the truth, and Gao Roy was temporarily banned.Under Gao Roy's persuasion, Zhou Zhixuan decided to release her and continue the fight with Zhou Shiyu.Gao Roy continued to provoke after seeing Yue Ling, and the two accidentally rolled down the steps during the dispute.Zhou Shiyu quickly carried Yue Ling into the carriage and asked the emperor to send Gao Luoyi and several princesses to the cold palace.
