A Ze investigated the border records and found that before the twelfth year of Jingchang, household registration was loosely managed and self-reported—thus, any changes to one’s household origin likely occurred before then. Yang Caiwei carefully tended to Pan Yue, preparing ginseng soup daily. Even though it tasted bitter, he drank it every day. A Ze reported his findings and news of turmoil at the border. Lady Jia was worried the assassin would strike during the wedding.

The Grand Commandant assured her of strict security. With the Jiang clan invading, the Emperor summoned the Commandant to the palace. Pan Hui, while drinking with Lord Sun, mentioned Pan Yue’s marriage and, feeling sour, secretly revealed that Shangguan Zhi was actually Yang Caiwei. The mastermind, upon learning Yang Caiwei was still alive, immediately ordered an investigation. If true, they planned to kill both her and Pan Yue.

The Emperor suspected General Lu of being a Jiang spy and summoned the Commandant to discuss it. Pan Yue, however, found it odd—General Lu couldn’t possibly be a traitor. He visited Lu in prison but was stopped by his father. Pan Yue explained it was the Princess’s order and wouldn’t involve the Pan family. His father didn’t object and instead gave him a bottle of medicine. Pan Yue brought food and wine.

General Lu, now labeled a traitor by the Emperor, was disheartened. Pan Yue expressed his belief that the real mastermind could be a Jiang person who had changed their household registration. Only then did General Lu open up. The Princess sneaked into the Commandant’s study to look for military rosters, saying a friend asked her to. The Commandant retrieved records from the past ten years for her. General Lu recounted the mutiny.

He had been dismissed, and Xun Jian was the biggest beneficiary. But General Lu didn’t believe Xun Jian was behind it—he was too old to accept such a post. General Lu had a habit of rolling up his sleeves when eating, common among Luoxi people unused to wide sleeves. Pan Yue realized the Grand Commandant shared this habit—it was him! Meanwhile, the Grand Commandant casually handed another roster to the Princess, who opened it cautiously—only to see his name inside.

The mastermind turned out to be the Grand Commandant. Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei were shocked. Realizing the Princess was in danger, they split up to act. The Princess discovered the truth and tried to feign ignorance to leave, but the Commandant refused to let her go. He even used Lady Jia to threaten her. Twelve years ago, he had personally killed their parents and married Lady Jia as part of his scheme, posing for years as a devoted husband.

No one would suspect him if anything happened. Heartbroken and terrified, the Princess tried to stay calm for her sister’s sake—but the Commandant ordered her to kill someone. Yang Caiwei found the Princess, who was now holding a knife and standing coldly in the corner. Pan Yue went to the residence to find her. The Grand Commandant greeted him warmly. Pan Yue quickly made an excuse to leave.

Miss Sima, hearing sounds from a room, went to investigate and saw the Princess lying on the ground, with Yang Caiwei beside her, hands covered in blood. Yang Caiwei was accused of killing the Princess and thrown into prison to await execution. That day, when she entered the room, she didn’t understand what had happened. But the Princess, seeing Master Zuo spying on her, had no choice but to take her own life.

Her sister was being threatened—she had no way out. She only regretted dragging Yang Caiwei into this. Pan Yue begged his father to let him see Yang Caiwei, kneeling in the rain all day. Seeing this, Pan Hui ridiculed and insulted him. Father Pan couldn’t help scolding Pan Hui, but Pan Yue remained motionless, like a dead man. In prison, Yang Caiwei refused to eat or drink, just staring blankly against the wall.

In truth, when Pan Yue was born, Father Pan was fond of him—he was his first child, and he wished him a peaceful life. But soon, rumors spread that no one knew where Pan Yue came from, as he didn’t resemble Father Pan at all. His mother committed suicide due to the gossip. Since then, the father-son relationship deteriorated. In the end, Father Pan softened. Holding an umbrella, he came to Pan Yue and told him to stand up.
