Su Yan noticed the silver hairpin in Dou Zhao's hair in the temple, became curious, and quietly followed Dou Zhao to the street.He suddenly appeared, quickly took off the hairpin, and eagerly asked about its origin.Dou Zhao confessed frankly that the hairpin was a gift from the mother and son she rescued when pacifying the bandits.After hearing this, Su Yan hurriedly tried to find the mother and son, took out his own hairpin from his arms, and paired it with the one in Dou Zhao's hand, confirming that it was his long-lost mother and brother.
Dou Zhao led Su Yan to see the mother and son, who were sleeping soundly.Su Yan couldn't bear to be disturbed and was about to leave quietly, but was stopped by her mother who woke up.Mother and daughter reunited, bursting into tears, and expressed their gratitude to Dou Zhao together.Su Yan also secretly decided to repay Dou Zhao's kindness.
On the other side, when Dou Zhao was making Lantern Festival, Song Mo came to visit.He mentioned that the palace banquet was coming soon and wanted to know the details of King Qing as soon as possible.Dou Zhao believed that to control King Qing, it was necessary to use the power of construction.It happened that the Crown Princess invited her to discuss the palace banquet, and she planned to take this opportunity to facilitate the matter.Song Mo will also accompany the prince and King Qing on hunting, intending to take the opportunity to find out the news.
The two of them split up.The princess greatly appreciated Dou Zhao's arrangement of the palace banquet and ordered everything to be followed.When she suddenly vomited when she wanted to taste fish, Dou Zhao realized that she was pregnant.The princess did not hide it in front of Dou Zhao and ordered Wang Ge to get the magnolia flowers.Dou Zhao noticed the tattoo on Wang Ge's arm and recalled that he had been unfavorable to Song Mo in his previous life.The princess was unwell, and Dou Zhao wanted to diagnose and treat her. Wang Ge tried to stop her, but Dou Zhao sternly rebuked her.
It is a lie that King Qing hunts, but it is true that he provokes the prince.He asked the prince to give up his throne, but the prince refused, and the two fought.Song Mo ordered the Jinwu guards to turn their backs and not eavesdrop, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.Seeing that the two were inseparable, Song Mo simply punched each other to stop the fight.
This matter soon reached the emperor's ears.The queen took the initiative to plead guilty and was willing to resign from the throne. She only asked that King Qing be demoted to a commoner.The emperor did not blame Prince Qing, but felt sorry for the prince's injustice.He knew that this matter could not be made public, otherwise Song Mo would not be able to escape responsibility.Song Mo and Dou Zhao were in the prince's house. The prince blamed Song Mo for taking action, but the princess knew that if it weren't for Song Mo, the prince might not be safe.Dou Zhao saw that King Qing wanted to get rid of the prince and Song Mo, and hoped to join forces with the prince.Although the prince was unwilling to reveal the story of Duke Ding, the princess told the truth.It turned out that the emperor had deliberately tried to convict the duke and wanted to escort him back to Beijing and then release him to win people's hearts.However, someone plotted him halfway.
At this time, Eunuch Wang was ordered to come and reveal the truth of the year.It turned out that Queen Wan suggested that the emperor convict Duke Ding. Although the Jiang family was sentenced lightly, Song Mo still guessed that the person who rebelled was Queen Wan.The emperor was poisoned, and Queen Wan took the opportunity to poison him, causing the emperor's condition to relapse.In the Queen's Palace, King Qing knelt down to admit his mistake, but the Queen did not blame him. Instead, she lamented that the time had come and was ready to take action.The medicine she gave the emperor was about to expire, and she was looking forward to his reaction.
Dou Zhao was well aware of the emperor's situation, and Song Mo asked the prince if he was willing to bring order to the chaos.The prince believed that this was detrimental to the royal family's face and firmly refused.Dou Zhao angrily scolded the prince, but the princess praised Dou Zhao for his good scolding and was willing to pay Dou Zhao to scold him every day.Song Mo mentioned Duke Dingguo's letter to Jiang Huisun and hoped that it would not fall into the hands of King Qing.He expressed his willingness to assist the crown prince in ascending the throne, but requested that the world be informed of the matter of establishing the Duke.The prince was hesitant, but the princess decisively high-fived Song Mo as an oath.The prince was dissatisfied with Song Mo's arrogance and reminded the prince to control him.Song Mo responded unceremoniously.
After Song Mo and Dou Zhao left, the prince teased his wife by turning her elbows outward.The princess grabbed the prince's ear and entered the room.Song Mo was unhappy all the way, thinking that the prince liked Dou Zhao.He asked Dou Zhao to wear black clothes and not dress up next time, but he felt that Dou Zhao was beautiful even in black clothes.In desperation, he jumped off the carriage and carried Dou Zhao home along the street to declare his sovereignty to everyone.
Eunuch Wang brought the medicine to the emperor, and the emperor drank it without hesitation, as if he already knew everything.
Miao Ansu and Song Han buried Anping together. She was filled with regret and felt that if she had not come here, her brother might still be safe and sound in Futing.Song Han told her that he had been promoted to the commander of Tengxiang Guard, and his status was equivalent to Song Mo, and he no longer had to rely on others.Miao Ansu was unfamiliar with this new position, so Song Han explained it, saying that this position was equivalent to a general in control of the overall situation.In Miao Ansu's eyes, the capital seemed peaceful, but from Song Han's description, there seemed to be hidden dangers everywhere.Song Han hugged Miao Ansu tightly and promised her that he would create a truly peaceful world for her.
On the other side, Qixia woke up from her deep sleep, and Dou Zhao took her to the courtyard of the past, hoping to evoke some of her memories.Qixia revealed in her words that she had brewed medicine before. At that time, Jiang Huisun was seriously ill and needed nine herbs.Song Mo took the opportunity to mention a letter, and Qixia immediately asked Dou Zhao anxiously for it.Dou Zhao pretended to hand her a letter, and Qixia couldn't wait to run to his wife and happily informed her that Duke Dingguo had received a letter.
However, this letter contains a secret.In the dry state, no writing is visible on the letter, and the content can only be read clearly after being dipped in water.Jiang Huisun originally planned to ask Qixia to hide the letter, only to give it to Song Mo.But then she realized that the letter could no longer be hidden, so she asked Qixia to stick it in a conspicuous place.
