At the banquet, Bai Fengjiu and Su Moye whispered to each other, laughing and chatting lively. Chen Ye was displeased by this, and also felt annoyed by Ju Nuo's frequent attempts to curry favor beside him, so he got up and left. Just then, the singing and dancing ended. Chang Di stepped forward, carrying a qin, to play and add to the amusement. After finishing her song, she received praise.
In her moment of smugness, she heard the Empress inquire about Xi Ze's whereabouts and quickly spoke up, saying that she was worried about her sister Ju Nuo's injury and had specially requested Xi Ze to go to Shigong Mountain to pick heart-protecting grass. Chang Di's words stirred various thoughts in everyone present. Bai Fengjiu didn't care at all and retorted against them one by one.
Xiang Lique was probably annoyed by their arguing and stopped them right there, then turned the topic to the physician. The physician heard that all three princesses suffered from cold in the body, so he simply found thistle cypress fruits and made a medicinal porridge to offer. Just then, Emperor Donghua suddenly appeared. Although he looked dusty from traveling, there was no hint of urgency on his face; he was calm and composed.
He personally draped a cloak over Bai Fengjiu and then pulled her up to return to her seat. At Emperor Donghua's signal, Chacha brought a soup pot to Bai Fengjiu. Only after the Empress inquired closely did she realize that what Chang Di said was purely her own assumption. Emperor Donghua had returned with the heart-protecting grass because Bai Fengjiu was injured in Jiuju Cage.
To cover up the grassy smell, he had personally brewed it into fish soup and added ginger slices. Having been publicly misunderstood, the Ju Nuo sisters looked extremely displeased. The Empress naturally showed strong dissatisfaction. Emperor Donghua ignored them, and his affection for his wife became increasingly obvious, which instead made Bai Fengjiu extremely suspicious, unable to understand why the two, who were originally very distant, were so intimate.
Emperor Donghua unhesitatingly confessed that he was jealous, which both surprised and flustered Su Moye. Just as he was about to find an excuse to get out of it, a meteor shower suddenly appeared in the sky, drawing everyone's attention and narrowly averting a crisis. Having lost face in front of everyone, Ju Nuo found it hard to quell the anger and hatred in her heart. Thus, she conspired with Chang Di to come up with a vicious plan.
First, she had Chang Di imitate Aranya's handwriting to invite Su Moye to meet her at the painting boat at the Chen hour (7-9 AM). She then ordered a servant to deliver the letter. While Bai Fengjiu was asleep, she secretly put the aphrodisiac "Xiangsi Yin" into her tea. The sisters believed their plan was meticulous. In front of the servants, they performed a double act, staging a scene to catch an adulterer.
Immediately after, they sent servants to invite the Emperor, and when the painting boat was full of people, they discovered that the person who emerged from the bed curtains was not Su Moye, but "Xi Ze," who had already established marital relations with "Aranya." Everyone was at a loss. Emperor Donghua spoke, explaining the whole story of Aranya's room. It turned out that Su Moye had personally taught Aranya her handwriting.
He recognized the subtle differences in the letter, immediately reported it to Emperor Donghua, and together they set a trap to catch the culprits. Xiang Lique felt utterly disgraced and quickly apologized to Emperor Donghua. Fortunately, Emperor Donghua had brewed a calming medicinal soup. After drinking it, Bai Fengjiu quickly returned to normal.
She learned the whole process from Su Moye and couldn't help but laugh, sighing that Xi Ze was not as heartless as Su Moye had made him out to be. However, because the Ju Nuo sisters repeatedly attacked and plotted various schemes against her, Bai Fengjiu found it hard to swallow the injustice. She decided to teach them a lesson with a move after their house arrest was lifted.
Bai Fengjiu eagerly counted the days by bending her fingers, but in the end, she waited for something that didn't happen. News spread from the palace that Princess Ju Nuo had violated the rules of maidenhood, secretly had an affair with her tutor, became pregnant with an illegitimate child, and brought great shame upon the royal family. She had been sentenced to decapitation and her name would be eternally removed from the register of merit.
Chang Di was punished with exile for breaking Xiang Lique's glass lamp. Chacha learned through other channels that Ju Nuo was the flesh and blood of Lady Qinghua and the former Emperor, Xiang Liyin. Later, Xiang Liyin was killed by Xiang Lique. Lady Qinghua originally wanted to die with her husband, but she couldn't bear to part with the child she was carrying.
Coincidentally, Xiang Lique loved Qinghua dearly, so he said that if she didn't die, the elder brother's lineage could be preserved. However, as Ju Nuo grew up beautiful and intelligent, Xiang Lique had long intended to get rid of her, but Lady Qinghua protected her well. Now, he finally found an opportunity. Although Ju Nuo was also exposed in a scandal in the previous life, it was more than a month later than this life.
Su Moye was puzzled and couldn't understand why, until he finally learned that Emperor Donghua, in his eagerness to protect his wife, had secretly pushed things forward. To find the truth about Aranya's death, Ju Nuo was a key figure in the dream realm. Su Moye did not want to stop here, so he immediately decided to ask Bai Fengjiu for help.
