The emperor learned that King Qing had given Dou Shishu a large number of gifts in the name of the festival, and privately asked the prince if he was worried about the two forming a party.The prince frankly expressed that he did not mind, and believed that Dou Shishu should not be abandoned due to doubts, and that unity and stability of the court should be the priority.The emperor praised the prince for his kindness, regarded Song Mo as the prince's sharp sword, and hoped that the prince could grasp this sword tightly.

When Dou Zhao was dyeing Song Mo's hair, the two discussed the prince's and Prince Qing's intentions.Although the prince had supervised and warned him before, it was only because he valued the throne and did not intend to win over him. This was also the prince's responsibility.However, King Qing opened a market in Liaodong, which was enough to support soldiers and horses. He could recruit Dou Shishu to mobilize troops, and colluded with internal and external forces to put the emperor under house arrest and usurp the throne.Those involved in the army and horses in the court could not avoid Song Mo's soldiers and horses if they wanted to join forces, so King Qing took the opportunity to replace some officials during the rogue rebellion.Now that the prince's thoughts are unpredictable, Song Mo decided to send someone to monitor the prince and make plans after finding out the details.

The next day, Dou Zhao was urgently summoned by Shude to the palace to play cards. The queen, princess and crown princess were also present.Dou Zhao was cautious every step of the way, and eventually led to a situation where one family lost and three families won, which made the queen admire her thoughts even more.Before leaving, the queen specially summoned Dou Zhao, ostensibly asking what kind of paper was suitable for use in the palace, but in fact she wanted to use Xueyuan Dan to win over Dou Zhao.This elixir is what Chen Qushui dreamed of, and it is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.If Dou Zhao accepted this pill to treat Song Mo's illness, it would mean that he would be controlled by the queen and seek refuge with King Qing, but Dou Zhao refused.

However, Dou Zhao ordered someone to steal the Xueyuan Dan and give it to Song Mo on the way from the Queen to Prince Qing's Mansion.Song Mo was grateful for Dou Zhao's hard work and promised not to let his family suffer due to foolish loyalty.If he needs to have both, he will protect his family.Dou Zhao expressed that he would fully support Song Mo's choice.When Song Mo was about to take the medicine, Dou Zhao suddenly recalled that Song Mo took refuge with Queen Qing in his previous life and was still gray-haired, and suspected that the medicine was ineffective or even poisonous.So, she hurriedly took the medicine box and tested it, and found that the medicine did have detoxification effect.Just when Song Mo was about to take medicine, Zhao Zhangru came to admire the lanterns, and they went together.After they left, the bowl of test potion changed color.

The queen heard that Xueyuan Dan was robbed and guessed that Dou Zhao did it, but there was no evidence.Moreover, Dou Zhao had already refused when she sent him the pill, so she could not deal with Dou Zhao easily.Shude talked to Dou Shishu and advised him to stay away from disputes and not to side with King Qing.Dou Shishu once served as county magistrate, but his talent was not recognized. He wanted to resign and retake the exam, but was rejected.By chance, Shude was praying for blessings in the temple, and Dou Shishu wrote a love poem for him. Shude was moved and wrote a letter of recommendation for him.Dou Shishu refused at first and wanted to do scientific research based on his ability.Shude advised him to recognize the reality clearly and only by strengthening himself can he achieve his wish.Dou Shishu ignored the criticism and persisted to this day.

Shude was worried that she would be implicated, so she tried to persuade Dou Shishu to stop, but Dou Shishu insisted on continuing.When Dou Zhao and Song Mo were enjoying the lanterns, Dou Zhao saw Zhao Zhangru walking with a man and wanted to follow him to check, but was stopped by Song Mo.Song Mo reminded Dou Zhao that the two of them had an appointment, and disturbing them at this time would be against the rules.Zhao Zhangru accidentally sprained her foot, so Chen Jia carried her forward.I met Dou Zhao and Song Mo by chance, but they avoided it.Chen Jia took the initiative to find Dou Zhao and Song Mo to explain. Dou Zhao was relieved and stopped following, and enjoyed the lanterns with Song Mo.

Miao Ansu prepared cakes for Song Han, and Song Han gave his heater to Miao Ansu to warm his hands.Miao Ansu encouraged Song Han to straighten his back and break out of the way.When the two were admiring the moon together, Miao Ansu remembered a poem but only remembered two lines. Song Han easily recited the whole poem, and the two looked at each other and smiled.That night, Song Han wore a cloak and rode out of the house.Dou Zhao discovered that the color of the medicine changed, and he was saddened to know that the medicine could only temporarily stabilize the condition, but could not cure it.Song Mo comforted Dou Zhao and asked her to be content with the situation.

Song Han came to King Qing, took the initiative to ask Ying for assistance, and offered his opinion, willing to become King Qing's right-hand man to deal with Song Mo.King Qing believed that Song Han was a tricky chess piece that Song Mo could not get rid of, and he was also the most unexpected chess piece.King Qing suddenly shot an arrow at Song Han. Song Han caught the arrow and injured his palm.King Qing promised that if Song Han could pass the examination, he would be reused.

King Qing visited Ji Yong and praised him for his foresight. He had known that Song Han would do this.Because Song Han and King Qing were both concubines, if he wanted to stand out, he had to help King Qing succeed and clear his name.King Qing gave Ji Yong gold, silver and jewelry, but he was rejected.After King Qing apologized, Ji Yong didn't care.King Qing had been unable to recruit Song Mo, so he decided to use Song Han.If something really happened, it would be a family matter of the Song family and would be of no harm to King Qing.This scientific examination was conducted by Dou Shishu. Mr. Muge's son wanted to participate, so Mr. Muge made arrangements in advance.Dou Shishu promised to let go of liberal arts, but martial arts required real skills.
