Shen Du met with the Empress Dowager and was earnestly warned to investigate the self-immolation case thoroughly, and also asked him to stay with his newlywed wife at home to show his tenderness.However, Xiao Heng was teasing from the side, mentioning that Shen Du rushed to the scene of the crime last night and left his bride Yan Xing alone, and Yan Xing's whereabouts are still unknown.Zhang Xiang took advantage of the situation and added fuel and vinegar, and the atmosphere was subtle.The Empress Dowager learned that Yan Xing was actually the niece of the Eastern Master Jin Zang, and Aunt Jin was his biological sister. This matter became even more complicated and sensitive.Shen Du looked solemn, knowing that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not only related to the truth of the case, but also the delicate relationship between the royal family and the family of important ministers.

Yan Xing was so anxious that he hurried to the temple before changing his clothes and only took off his headdress on the carriage.However, when he arrived at the temple gate, he was stopped by Chief Wu, whose sarcastic remarks made Yan Xing lose all face.Yan Xing insisted that she was only here to investigate the case. With her keen eyesight, she accidentally discovered that Mr. Wu's shoes were stained with mud from the western suburbs. The flower pattern inadvertently exposed on the cuffs made her conclude that Mr. Wu had an outhouse in the western suburbs.Chief Wu felt guilty and had no choice but to let him go.

Yan Xing carefully inspected the two corpses. The deceased were hugging each other, the man's heart was stolen, and the woman had long scars on her face. There was a strange aroma permeating the scene.The arrival of Xu Xiangren confirmed Yan Xing's sense of smell, and Lu Chuichui initially thought that he would die for love, but Yan Xing refuted it.The family members of the deceased were distraught, especially Mr. Liang’s father, who demanded to find out the truth.

Lu Chuichui wanted to invite Yan Xing to have tea, but she declined and instead went to the crime scene.At this time, Shendu arrived unexpectedly, and Jinglin was also at the scene, thinking that this was not the best place for exploration.Shen Du saw Yan Xingni holding the key with a displeased expression on his face, and urged him to go home and study women's ways.Yan Xing was forcibly carried on horseback by Shen Du. This scene happened to be caught by Master Wu, who was shocked beyond words.

Just as the delicate relationship between Yan Xing and Shen Du was in a stalemate, a secret palace order brought by Jing Lin suddenly spread in the city, and the Queen Mother also ordered Shen Du to thoroughly investigate the Liang family murder case.When Yan Xing heard the news, he felt anxious and wanted to fight side by side with Shen Du, but he declined and was secretly monitored.Yan Xing responded wittily, pretending to change clothes to distract the guards, but actually took the opportunity to escape from restraint.

She met the maid by chance and hatched a plan. Using pears as bait, she cleverly guided the maid to reveal clues about the Liang family.Just as Yan Xing was immersed in analyzing the case and thinking about the connection between the poison of the Dripping Guanyin and the son of the Liang family, a crazy woman suddenly appeared behind her. In panic, Yan Xing accidentally slipped and fell into the pond.

The water in the pool was turbulent, and Yan Xing's cry for help was heard by Shen Du who was passing by.At first, Shen Du thought this was another prank by Yan Xing, but when he saw her struggle weakening, he realized that the situation was serious and jumped into the pool to rescue Yan Xing, whose life was hanging by a thread.This experience made the subtle emotions between the two seem a little more unspeakable.

When Yan Xing returned home, the housekeeper arranged for her to stay in the main room, which surprised her.While Shen Du was out, she caught a glimpse of the Queen Mother's decree on the table and thought to herself.During dinner, Shen Du deliberately revealed the secret order in front of Yan Xing, revealing his distrust in her words and warning her to be careful in her words and deeds in the house.

Shen Du's move was actually a test, but Yan Xing frankly stated that he was not one of Zhang Xiang's people and knew the contents of the secret order well, but he did not go beyond the limits.She even pointed out that Shen Du had hastily concluded the case and regarded the second brother of the Liang family as the suspected murderer. She raised her own questions and insisted on in-depth investigation.Shen Du threatened with a hidden weapon, but instead of being afraid, Yan Xing proposed a bet, vowing to prove his innocence and ability. In fact, he was thinking about how to spend the next three months, waiting for the female officer exam to be finalized.

In the dead of night, Yan Xing was lying peacefully on the big bed in the main room. Shen Du arrived shortly after, and the two of them were suddenly close to each other, creating a subtle atmosphere.Yan Xing responded tactfully, but Shen Du was unhappy with the hair on the bed and hurriedly cleaned it up.Yan Xing noticed his mysophobia and deliberately played with candied fruit, which caused Shen Du a big headache and had to change the mattress overnight.

The two eventually slept in separate beds. Yan Xing tossed and turned and found it difficult to fall asleep, so he wrote a letter to his friend Pan Chi, detailing the strange cases he had encountered recently, and his perseverance and pursuit of justice were revealed between the lines.In the letter, she not only recorded the twists and turns of the case, but also expressed her tenacity and unyieldingness in the difficult situation, as well as her infinite longing for the future.
