Lord Zhe Yu summoned Yu Chu, informing her that Yuan Shikai had ordered the New Army to cease hostilities. Yu Chu, aware of the New Army's recent successes against the revolutionary party in Wuchang, suspected Yuan Shikai was acting for personal gain, calling him a power-hungry and lawless figure who was playing both sides to secure the highest bid.

Zhe Yu clarified that Yuan Shikai's official reason was that continuous fighting had exhausted their forces, and a direct assault on the entrenched revolutionary party would lead to mutual destruction. Zhe Yu then revealed that he and the Regent had discussed appointing Yu Chu as the new Fan Zhu of Brilliant Situation, following Chong Liming’s dismissal after the Sichuan incident.

Yu Chu, surprised, protested that she was still considered "guilty" for her involvement, but Zhe Yu assured her it was forgivable as she was merely following orders. However, Yu Chu firmly declined the offer, declaring that she had joined Brilliant Situation to follow Chong Liming and would continue to do so. Meanwhile, A Yi pushed Yang Ming, who was now in a wheelchair and had regained his memories, back to the Yang Fu.

Yang Ming, having spent years with Secretary Zhou during his amnesia, expressed strong dislike for grand official residences and the corrupt officials who inhabited them, lamenting that he had become the very kind of person he now despised. A Yi led him into Ruowan's old room. There, a dusty rouge box triggered Yang Ming’s memories: he recalled giving two such boxes to Ruowan, symbolizing their "true love," and the harrowing rescue of Ruowan, during which he killed many people.

He also remembered Ruowan desperately trying to save their child from their dwelling in the Horse Thief village. Yang Ming then recounted how he had later brought a boy named Yang Zhen from a church nursery to soothe Ruowan’s grief, claiming he was their lost son. But Ruowan, heartbroken, immediately recognized the deception because the boy did not possess the matching rouge box, leading her to weep daily and become obsessed with finding her real child.

Driven by guilt over Ruowan’s deteriorating mental state, Yang Ming eventually led the remaining members of Brilliant Situation back to the Horse Thief village to find his true son. However, they found the village in ruins and abandoned. After years of searching, they finally located A Yi's new stronghold. Tragically, the horse thieves there mistook Yang Ming's group for Qing soldiers and opened fire, forcing Yang Ming to retaliate. In the ensuing chaos, a massacre occurred.

A Yi was devastated upon realizing that the tragedy of his village was a direct consequence of Yang Ming's search for him. Yang Ming, overwhelmed with remorse, recognized A Yi as his biological son, his "bone blood." He apologized profusely for the village massacre and for abandoning A Yi, acknowledging that the stab wound he bore was from his own son.

A Yi, however, refused to accept his apologies, coldly stating that it was not he, but Yang Ming's daughter, Yang Yu Chu, who harbored true hatred for him. Yang Ming, filled with shame and lamenting that he had wronged too many people and had little time left to atone, wondered why these memories only resurfaced now. A Yi then left the room to speak with Chong Liming, allowing Yang Ming to reflect alone.

Outside, Chong Liming learned from A Yi that Yang Ming was gravely injured, with bullet wounds to his spine that left him unable to stand, and pierced internal organs, indicating he had little time left. Chong Liming offered to connect him with a renowned American doctor who could arrange the best hospital care. Just then, Yu Chu arrived, demanding to see Yang Ming. A Yi was apprehensive, but Chong Liming believed a final confrontation was necessary between father and daughter.

Yu Chu entered and was enraged to find Yang Ming clutching the rouge box, convinced it proved his unwavering devotion to Ruowan and his complete disregard for her own mother. Yang Ming, overcome with shame, recognized her. Yu Chu bitterly recounted how the courtyard, which held sweet memories for him, was a place of deep pain for her. She described her mother waiting daily, wasting away, and dying at 28 without him ever returning.

Yang Ming’s repeated apologies were dismissed by Yu Chu as insufficient. She scornfully rejected him as a father, deeming him unworthy, and railed against his casual "I was wrong" as an attempt to erase the years of suffering he inflicted. She found it deeply unfair that he had lost the memory of his misdeeds while she remained burdened by them, questioning why he had reappeared in her life only to cause more anguish.

In a desperate act of atonement, Yang Ming offered his life, urging her to shoot him if it would bring her peace, vowing to repay his debts in the next life. Yu Chu, overwhelmed by a mix of profound sadness and anger, fired several shots into a flowerpot before storming out. Moments later, Yang Ming died. Chong Liming tried to persuade A Yi to acknowledge Yang Ming, emphasizing the unbreakable bond of blood.

However, A Yi, still deeply hurt and unwilling to accept Yang Ming after all the pain, stated that he was "A Yi, not Yang Zhen," and their complicated relationship was an unchangeable fact. Witnessing the sweeping changes in China, A Yi declared that the Qing Dynasty was doomed and urged Chong Liming to abandon his illusions about the court and join the revolution in the South.

Chong Liming, however, still wished to remain in the capital, and A Yi did not press the matter. That night, Yu Chu returned to the Yang Fu and entered her mother's old room. Holding her mother's photograph, she confided the news of Yang Ming's death, imploring her mother to finally forget him, to treat him as a stranger, and never to encounter him again in any lifetime.

A Yi meticulously handled Yang Ming's funeral arrangements, burying his ashes in the Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery, a place A Yi believed Yang Ming would have preferred. Zhou Jue, now appointed Secretary of the Wuhan Military Government, informed Yubing that he and A Yi would need to travel to Shanghai again.

He explained that Tang Shaoyi's resolution for peace talks to establish a republic had not yet been approved, likely due to political upheaval within the Qing court, causing the talks to stall. Zhou Jue expressed that initiating peace talks instead of continued warfare was already a significant step, acknowledging that revolution inevitably brought pain.

He also mentioned that a highly respected southern representative, Mr. Su, would join them in Shanghai, hoping his presence would bring a new dynamic to the negotiations. Meanwhile, in Beijing, Lord Zhe Yu reported to Lord Deqi that the revolutionary party in Shanghai had proposed an armistice contingent on the Qing Emperor's abdication.

Lord Deqi was outraged, declaring such a condition impossible and asserting that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would never agree to surrender centuries of Qing rule, which would effectively mean the end of the dynasty. Zhe Yu confirmed that he and the Regent had decided to suspend the current talks and send a new delegation to Shanghai to negotiate directly with the Southern government, firmly establishing their bottom line of preserving imperial power.

When Lord Deqi questioned Yuan Shikai's reliability, Zhe Yu admitted that while Yuan Shikai’s powerful army was their only leverage against the revolutionaries, he was also a treacherous and cunning opportunist, disloyal to the Qing, and maintained strong ties with foreign powers. Zhe Yu concluded that Yuan Shikai was playing both sides, ultimately seeking to become the master of the nation himself, not merely its savior.

Despite this, Zhe Yu conceded that the Qing had no choice but to rely on him to maintain some dignity. Chong Liming was tasked with escorting Lord Deqi to Shanghai, accompanied by Yu Chu, Si San, Wengou, and Can Yan Xin. On board the ship, Yu Chu expressed her deep apprehension about the peace talks and Yuan Shikai's ambiguous actions, questioning why he wouldn't simply crush the revolutionaries if he truly held the advantage.

She also voiced her profound sadness at the impending collapse of the Qing Dynasty, struggling to envision a future without it. Chong Liming comforted her, assuring her that regardless of the world's changes, they would forge their own life. Yu Chu, having always yearned to see the ocean from her confinement in the royal palace, found immense joy in the sea journey. Chong Liming, observing her delight, promised to take her to every place where seawater could reach.

As they neared Shanghai, Si San reminded Can Yan Xin that their arrival in Shanghai, now under the control of Shanghai Military Governor Chen Qimei, would not be as "easy" as he jokingly thought. Upon their arrival at the docks, an officer from the Shanghai Military Governor's office greeted Lord Deqi, conveying Chen Qimei's welcome and confirming that hotel accommodations and secure travel routes had been arranged. Lord Deqi was then escorted into a waiting car, while Si San instructed Can Yan Xin to load their luggage.
