After the failure of the previous assassination attempt, Song Xuanying temporarily put his plan aside. Now, hearing the report from his subordinate about the recent movements in the palace, he became quite interested in this unidentified Xiaojiu, so he immediately sent someone to investigate her background. On the other hand, Song Xuanren, ever since falling into the water that night, had been unable to eat or sleep, haunted by the vision.
When he wanted to paint her portrait, he didn't know where to start. Recalling her appearance, she didn't look like a mortal woman but rather like an immortal from the Nine Heavens. Cheng Yu was furious with Si Ming upon learning that Bai Fengjiu had descended to the mortal realm without permission, worrying that she would once again be trapped by love and end up battered and bruised.
Si Ming could only endure the scolding and followed Cheng Yu to the palace with a look of grievance. Bai Fengjiu stated that she had learned her lesson this time and would definitely not repeat her past mistakes. As long as she found Zhou Mengxi and the Emperor's trial returned to the right track, she could leave with peace of mind and return to Qingqiu to live in seclusion.
Thinking that she had previously seen the marriage princess Chu Wan who resembled Ji Heng, Bai Fengjiu found it strange and decided to tell Si Ming. Si Ming looked through the Book of Fate for the mortal Chu Wan and found a blank entry. Cheng Yu, using the excuse that Chu Wan was affecting the Emperor's trial, found Venerable Hanshan to check Ji Heng's Book of Fate. The result was surprisingly the same.
Bai Fengjiu was slightly surprised and wanted to use the short blade drawing to see if Ji Heng was truly as she seemed, with amnesia. Cheng Yu returned to the Heavenly Palace to ask for the drawing.
Lian Song initially didn't want to give it up to spoil the surprise, but seeing her angry expression and turning to leave, he quickly seized the opportunity to propose a condition, asking Yuanjun Cheng Yu to go on a date with him to appreciate flowers. To get the drawing to copy, Cheng Yu had to temporarily agree, and then immediately descended to the mortal realm to deliver it, also bringing some worry-free flowers to make pastries.
Occasionally finding wood hibiscus flowers in the palace, Bai Fengjiu picked some and stayed up all night to make wood hibiscus paste, so she could give it to Ye Qingti and have him apply it regularly to remove the scar on his eyebrow tail.
Ye Qingti hadn't held out much hope originally, but seeing that Bai Fengjiu was thinking of him, he happily accepted it, saying that the Emperor had recently stopped the search for the woman who fell into the water, and he didn't know why. Hearing that Chu Wan was in the Emperor's study, Bai Fengjiu immediately took her leave and hurried there with the short blade drawing.
Ye Qingti watched her retreating figure, his heart suddenly raced, and his face became hotter. He surprisingly felt a different kind of affection until a gentle breeze blew, and he quickly shook off his random thoughts. Chu Wan brought lotus seed soup, intending to please Song Xuanren, but seeing his indifferent expression and lack of interest, she awkwardly lied that she usually enjoyed reading.
Using the excuse of looking through books, she went to the study to search, but failed to find any clue about the Lingbi stone. Just as she was about to leave with two ancient books, Bai Fengjiu suddenly arrived, pretending to present the short blade drawing and inviting Chu Wan to view it together and offer suggestions.
Chu Wan seemed detached, her expression unchanged, whereas Song Xuanren was quite excited, especially astonished by the modifications Bai Fengjiu had made, until Chu Wan left. He then pulled Bai Fengjiu to continue their detailed discussion and ordered that no concubine should enter the study again. The next morning, the various commanders gathered to watch Bai Fengjiu practice sword fighting. Song Xuanren walked over with a smile on his face and, seeing the scene, was immediately interested.
He simply borrowed Ye Qingti's saber and even sparred with Bai Fengjiu. Bai Fengjiu never thought that she had painstakingly searched for similarities with Emperor Donghua back then, but now she could practice and compete with him. Feeling joy, she deliberately concealed her skills and feigned defeat by half a move. After enjoying himself, Song Xuanren ordered the kitchen to host a banquet for everyone and greatly praised Xiaojiu.
He then pulled Ye Qingti back to the study and took out the short blade drawing as if it were a treasure. Ye Qingti immediately saw the ingenuity of the drawing and was surprised to learn that it was drawn by Xiaojiu. The Chief Eunuch had other doubts, worrying that Xiaojiu's motives were suspicious, but Ye Qingti was displeased upon hearing this and immediately vouched for her.
Song Xuanren likewise would not make unwarranted assumptions about Xiaojiu and reminded the Chief Eunuch not to be overly suspicious. Despite searching in many ways, Song Xuanying's subordinates still couldn't find any clues about Bai Fengjiu. This person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, leaving no trace. Ye Qingti was ordered to supervise the craftsmen forging weapons. During his free time, he thought about Bai Fengjiu still painstakingly searching for Zhou Mengxi.
He suddenly remembered the death register of palace maids and indeed found the name in it. Ye Qingti hurried to inform her. Bai Fengjiu happened to have returned from inspecting the Cold Palace with the Emperor. She learned that Zhou Mengxi was originally a palace maid guarding the Cold Palace and later caught a cold and was bedridden. Due to her low status and the coincident timing of the former Emperor's death, she passed away not long after.
Calculating the time, Zhou Mengxi's death occurred half a month after Song Xuanren returned to the palace. Bai Fengjiu realized that due to her impulsive actions, she had unknowingly changed everyone's destiny, even leading to the death of an innocent palace maid. Bai Fengjiu felt deeply guilty. She chose a day to go to the Cold Palace to pay respects.
Si Ming saw this and comforted her, believing that even if Zhou Mengxi were alive now, if she became the favorite concubine of someone she didn't love, she would still live a miserable life, suffering immensely. Rather than that, it was better for her to pass away during this illness and end her long remaining life.
Since Zhou Mengxi was dead, and the person Song Xuanren currently loved just happened to be the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight that night when she fell into the water, to successfully help the Emperor pass his trial, Bai Fengjiu still needed to step forward personally. She needed to stay by Song Xuanren's side and make him love her but be unable to attain her.
