Ye Hua finished admonishing Su jin and Miu Qing in the study and went out to look for Bai Qian. Bai Qian was already a High Goddess who easily got lost, and Xi Wu Palace was so large that she was having a headache not knowing which direction to go to get back to Yi Lan Fang Hua. Ye Hua gently embraced Bai Qian from behind and took her back to Yi Lan Fang Hua with him.

Miu Qing and Su jin were still kneeling in the study. Miu Qing tearfully asked Su jin if she had told her to do it. Su jin unexpectedly retorted that she pitied Miu Qing's feelings for the Divine Monarch, but she had put her (Su jin) in an unrighteous position. Su jin had already been terrified by Bai Qian's appearance, which was remarkably similar to Su Su's.

She had no mind to care about Miu Qing and stumbled back to her bedchamber in a daze. Trembling, she told Xin Nu that she finally knew why Ye Hua was so infatuated with that Bai Qian; that Bai Qian of Green Hills looked just like Su Su. Su jin was already scared out of her wits. Ye Hua and Bai Qian walked together.

Ye Hua suddenly asked Bai Qian seriously why she had told Miu Qing to return to the East Sea. Bai Qian thought Ye Hua was angry that she had driven away his romantic interest and quickly explained that she hadn't forgotten her promise to find him several secondary consorts. However, since Miu Qing dared to give Ye Hua an aphrodisiac today, who knew what she might do in the future?

Bai Qian pleasingly asked Ye Hua if he agreed that it was better for the harem to be quiet. Ye Hua stared intently into Bai Qian's eyes, his gaze filled with sorrow and disappointment. He slowly said, "I shouldn't have asked you this. I called you into the room earlier, intentionally wanting to make you jealous. But I didn't expect you to treat it like a show from beginning to end."

Ye Hua stepped closer to Bai Qian, his heart feeling crushed, and asked, "Bai Qian, has there only ever been that one person in your heart? How long do you plan to wait for him?" With these words, Ye Hua left in a huff. Bai Qian returned to Yi Lan Fang Hua by herself.

After all that commotion, she was originally feeling tired and sleepy, but for some reason, as she lay on the bed, Ye Hua's words kept replaying in her mind, gripping her heart repeatedly. Bai Qian didn't know when she had started caring so much about Ye Hua's emotions. Li Jing returned to the Wing Tribe's realm in a daze from Green Hills. Unconsciously, he walked to the place where he and Si Yin had first met.

Distraught, Li Jing seemed to see Si Yin smiling sweetly in the lotus pond and immediately jumped into it. The icy water finally brought Li Jing back to his senses. Si Yin, the woman he deeply loved, would likely never return for all eternity. In despair, Li Jing thought it would be fine to just die in the lake. But he wasn't just Li Jing anymore; he was also the Winged Monarch, the king of these millions of people.

Thinking of this, Li Jing had no choice but to return to the shore and walk back to Da Zi Ming Palace, utterly exhausted. As soon as Li Jing entered Da Zi Ming Palace, he received news that Xuan Nv had escaped from prison and Li Yuan had been killed. He quickly rushed to the dungeon to check and found that Li Yuan had been dead for a long time.

Li Jing knew that Li Yuan intended to use his death to help Qing Cang break the seal. He immediately ordered someone to quickly find Yan Zhi in the mortal realm and bring her back to the Wing Tribe's realm. If they encountered Xuan Nv on the way, Li Jing said with cold light in his eyes, "No need to report back, kill her on sight."

Li Jing ordered someone to cut off Li Yuan's head, burn his body, and hang the head in Da Zi Ming Palace for public display. His subordinates worried that since Li Yuan was once the eldest prince of the Wing Tribe, doing this now might cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers. Li Jing coldly said, "His death will once again bring destruction upon the Wing Tribe and even the world. Doing this is already an act of benevolence."

Xuan Nv struggled and spent her days hiding in the mortal realm from the Wing Tribe's pursuit. Suddenly, the jade pendant Li Yuan had given her began to feel slightly warm. Xuan Nv knew she was close to Yan Zhi. Guided by the jade pendant, Xuan Nv groped her way to the entrance of Yan Zhi's small shop. By chance, Zi Lan met her there.

Xuan Nv's face was disfigured, and for a moment, Zi Lan didn't recognize her as Xuan Nv. Xuan Nv described Yan Zhi's appearance to Zi Lan and begged him to tell her if there was such a girl nearby. With a heart of compassion, Zi Lan brought Xuan Nv to Yan Zhi. The jade in Xuan Nv's hand was burning hot. She secretly laughed to herself, thinking the person before her must be Yan Zhi. Xuan Nv stated her identity.

Yan Zhi couldn't believe that the person before her, with a ruined face and blind eyes, was actually her second sister-in-law. Zi Lan was also greatly surprised, wondering when Xuan Nv had changed into this appearance. Worried that Xuan Nv might recognize him, Zi Lan left them to talk alone and went out to attend to the customers in the shop.

Yan Zhi held the child in Xuan Nv's arms and was startled to find that the child neither cried nor fussed and had no breath. But Xuan Nv very seriously told Yan Zhi that she could definitely bring the child back to life if she knew the method. Seeing her second sister-in-law in this state, Yan Zhi felt much pity. Yan Zhi used her cultivation to treat Xuan Nv's eyes, but unexpectedly, the ordinary wounds wouldn't heal at all.

She was very puzzled. It turned out to be Zi Lan. He was worried that if Yan Zhi healed Xuan Nv's eyes, Xuan Nv would surely recognize him. He had no choice but to resort to this tactic, hiding outside and using immortal magic to prevent Xuan Nv's eyes from recovering. Yan Zhi quickly comforted Xuan Nv, telling her that she would find another way another day and would eventually heal her eyes.

Yan Zhi then inquired about what had happened in the Wing Tribe's realm. Xuan Nv immediately put on a pitiful facade and fabricated the story that Li Jing had killed Li Yuan, cut off his head to warn everyone, and burned his body to ashes. Yan Zhi was shocked and heartbroken upon hearing that her eldest brother had been executed. Fengjiu went to the imperial study to bring soup to the Emperor.

Seeing the Emperor reading at his desk, Fengjiu couldn't help but lose herself in thought. She thought about how over a decade in the mortal realm had passed in the blink of an eye. If she returned to the Nine Heavens in the future, would the Divine Monarch blame her for affecting his trial in the mortal realm?

Fengjiu silently watched the Emperor, knowing in her heart that she couldn't bring herself to hurt him, even if this was the emotional trial the Divine Monarch was undergoing himself. Suddenly, Si Ming's voice entered Fengjiu's mind, telling her that even if she couldn't bear to, she had to let go. Fengjiu was startled and accidentally dropped the tonic soup, shattering it on the ground. The Emperor frowned, looking at the flustered Fengjiu.

Afraid that the Emperor would see through her thoughts, Fengjiu hurriedly left the study and met Si Ming, who had come looking for her. Si Ming gave Fengjiu a script about harem infighting and instructed her to make the Emperor utterly hate the woman named Consort Chen, so that the Divine Monarch's trial would be successfully completed. Fengjiu still couldn't bring herself to do it.

Si Ming sighed, saying, "Although Your Highness's nature is very suitable to be by the Divine Monarch's side, the Divine Monarch and you are ultimately fated to be apart." Fengjiu knew that the icy Divine Monarch in the Nine Heavens naturally didn't have her in his heart, but the Emperor in the mortal realm cherished her dearly. How could she bear to hurt him?

Si Ming told Fengjiu to follow what was written in the script: because she had no children, she harbored resentment towards the crown prince's birth mother, the noble consort in the Taoist temple. She was to go to the temple today to see the noble consort, ask for a cup of tea to drink, and upon returning, pretend to have been poisoned to gain the Emperor's sympathy. Then, she could take the opportunity to frame the noble consort.

Fengjiu followed Si Ming's instructions and went to the Taoist temple to see the noble consort. The noble consort was very kind and treated Fengjiu with genuine sincerity. Fengjiu couldn't bear to do it, but she also couldn't think of a better way. A eunuch hurried back to report to the Emperor, saying that Consort Chen seemed to be poisoned and had fainted several times.

He said this had been the case since she returned from visiting the noble consort at the Taoist temple. The Emperor was greatly alarmed and went to Fengjiu with a heavy heart. The Emperor saw Fengjiu weak in bed, his eyes full of heartache. Fengjiu nestled in the Emperor's arms, feeling remorse. That noble consort was intent on doing good; how could she intentionally frame her? This was truly contrary to Bai Qian's usual teachings to her.

The Emperor intended to test Fengjiu to see if this matter was related to the noble consort. Fengjiu made up her mind and directly said that she had accidentally caught a cold and it had nothing to do with the noble consort. When the Emperor heard Fengjiu's words, the worry he had carried all the way there finally dissipated.

Only then did Fengjiu realize that even though she had no intention of framing the noble consort, the Emperor naturally trusted the noble consort's character. If she had really followed the script and used her weakness to frame the noble consort just now, she didn't know what the Emperor would have thought of her.

The Emperor affectionately told Fengjiu that she was the person he loved most, and that no matter when or what mistake Fengjiu made, he would love her, protect her, and trust her. Fengjiu was touched, her heart filled with overflowing love. That evening, Si Ming came to find Fengjiu and asked what had happened during the day. Fengjiu requested two more years to spend with the Emperor, with a two-year limit.

She promised that by then she would definitely help the Divine Monarch complete his trial. It was just that she couldn't bring herself to do anything to hurt the Divine Monarch right now. Seeing Fengjiu so infatuated, Si Ming finally couldn't bear it and agreed to the two-year promise. The night was quiet. Yan Zhi had gone to bed early. Xuan Nv appeared in Yan Zhi's room.

Although Yan Zhi had taken her in, Xuan Nv also felt reluctant to kill her, as she was the only person in the Wing Tribe's realm who had ever treated her with sincerity. However, whenever she recalled the humiliation Bai Qian had brought upon her, Xuan Nv's heart was filled only with deep hatred. Xuan Nv steeled her heart and raised the dagger in her hand. At the critical moment, Zi Lan appeared in time and took Xuan Nv away.

Xuan Nv finally recognized Zi Lan's voice. Zi Lan warned Xuan Nv that if she dared to do anything to harm Yan Zhi again, he would make sure she knew the price she had to pay for betraying Kunlun Void and causing Mo Yuan's death.
