Zhou Zhixuan returned to Nanwang Mansion with tired dark circles under his eyes. As he walked through the streets, people in the market pointed at him and laughed at his appearance.Although Yang Xu tried his best to defend himself, the ridicule from everyone came like a tide, making him feel powerless.At this moment, Zhou Zhixuan ran into Gao Luoyi, who was looking sad. She even ridiculed him bluntly, thinking that he could not be compared with Zhou Shiyu.

Gao Luoyi's maid Ping'er quietly met Yang Xu in the crowd, seemingly conveying some kind of message.Soon after, Yang Xu actually got into a dispute with a talented man who had participated in selecting a son-in-law. The two started fighting. Among the onlookers, Zhou Zhixuan became the laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.

The next day, Gao Yuan received an imperial edict from the emperor. Because he had served in guarding the border for many years and had spent less time with Gao Loi than he did, the emperor specifically allowed him to stay in Shangjing temporarily until Gao Loi got married before leaving.However, Gao Yuan understood clearly in his heart that the emperor's move was superficially caring, but in fact he was using Gao Luoyi's marriage as a bargaining chip to restrain himself.

Yue Ling asked Zhou Shiyu for confirmation of the marriage. She knew nothing about it before, so she made a lot of jokes.Zhou Shiyu sternly warned Yue Ling that she could not trust others except herself.Although Chen Susu was his and Gao Yuan's spy in the palace, if there was any dissatisfaction, she would only stand by Gao Yuan's side.Yue Ling felt deeply ashamed and promised Zhou Shiyu that he would not act without authorization again.

Xingyi missed Su Nian and went to Fengyue Pavilion to get drunk every night. He imagined Su Nian by his side.One day, Lingxi deliberately threw a note to him with Su Nian's hiding place written on it.After Xingyi learned about it, he immediately went to look for it.

Gao Roy was angry at Gao Yuan's deception. Although he explained that he would stay in Shangjing temporarily, she still couldn't let go.Su Nian's health is deteriorating. She lives in a dilapidated house and suffers from the pain alone.One day, when she stood up to drink water, Xingyi suddenly broke in and hugged her tightly.Although Su Nian was moved by Xingyi's true feelings, the fear in her heart prevented her from accepting it easily.However, at this moment, the poison takes over and she becomes cold, and Starlight vows to find an antidote for her.

In order to save Su Nian, Xingyi returned to Shangjing and asked Zhou Shiyu for help.Zhou Shiyu told him that the antidote might only be available in the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Zhou Jingyuan was the mastermind behind the Roufeng Sect.Finding an antidote is not easy, and Zhou Shiyu said it will take some time.At the same time, Yue Ling began to arrange his wedding clothes, and Zhou Shiyu was also busy raising betrothal gifts.Gao Roy was extremely disappointed when he learned that the wedding was a foregone conclusion.Ping'er came up with an idea for her and asked her to try to commit suicide to arouse Zhou Shiyu's sympathy.Although Gao Roy hesitated, he finally followed Ping'er's suggestion.

Gao Yuan was furious after learning that Gao Roy had attempted suicide.He ordered the imperial doctor to do his best to treat her, but at the same time he was full of resentment towards Zhou Shiyu.After Yue Ling learned the news, he hurriedly reported it to Zhou Shiyu, but Zhou Shiyu already knew about it.He told Yue Ling that it didn't matter which side Gao Yuan was on, the emperor had his own arrangements.

In order to save Su Nian, Xingyi decided to take a risk and sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the antidote.However, he accidentally made a noise during the operation, which attracted the attention of the guards.Lingxi appeared in time to rescue him and told him that Su Nian had saved her life and hoped that he would treat her well.Lin Su then entered the mansion, and Lingxi protected Xingyi from leaving, but he was unfortunately killed.

Xingyi returned to Su Nian with the antidote and successfully rescued her.Su Nian was deeply saddened after learning what Lingxi had done for her and felt heartbroken for her.In order to thank Lingxi for saving her life and taking care of her family, Xingyi decided to take her and Su Nian back to the Princess Mansion to live together.However, when they returned to the princess mansion, they found that Yue Ling had a cold and even repulsive attitude towards Su Nian, which made her feel very confused and uneasy.

In the evening, Xingyi went to Yue Ling and asked her why she didn't like Su Nian. Yue Ling confessed that he had been assassinated by Su Nian, so it was difficult to accept her as his friend or family. Hearing this, Xingyi felt deeply guilty and apologized to her. At the same time, he alsoZhou Shiyu apologized because he broke into the prime minister's house without permission and caused him trouble. However, Zhou Shiyu did not blame him but was moved by his deep love for Su Nian and said that he would try his best to help him find Liu Qingshan and the Liu family's case to reverse the case for the Liu family.
