Pan Yue’s father allowed him to visit Yang Caiwei. Seeing how emaciated and frail she was, Pan Yue was heartbroken. Yang Caiwei asked how he got in, and Pan Yue lied, saying the prison warden owed him a favor. He brought her some food, but Yang Caiwei had no appetite. The princess had died right in front of her, and she was filled with guilt for not saving her.

Pan Yue comforted her, saying the princess did not die in vain and that the culprit would pay the price. Yang Caiwei believed that Pan Yue would definitely save her. When time was up, Pan Yue reluctantly let go of her hand and told her to wait for him. Zhuo Lanjiang was still worried upon learning that Yang Caiwei had been accused of murder. Grand Commandant Jia didn’t expose Yang Caiwei’s identity, fearing more complications.

He warned Pan Yue that if he dared to take risks, it would give them a legitimate excuse to execute him on the spot. Zhuo Lanjiang’s hatred for Grand Commandant Jia deepened. He had tried to strike in secret many times but failed. Zhuo Lanjiang said he and Yang Caiwei once loved each other, and he wished to see her one last time during the public trial. Grand Commandant Jia agreed.

For Yang Caiwei’s sake, Pan Yue sought help from many contacts, but none wanted to get involved. Shangguan Lan was very worried, but Pan Yue told him that Shangguan Zhi was already dead. Enraged, Shangguan Lan punched him, vowing to avenge his sister. Pan Yue didn’t retaliate because he owed Shangguan Lan. Shangguan Lan thought Pan Yue refused to rescue Shangguan Zhi, so Pan Yue had to tell him that she had died on his wedding day.

Shangguan Zhi had kidnapped Yang Caiwei and switched faces with her, but was accidentally killed. Yang Caiwei had to continue living as Shangguan Zhi. Shangguan Lan was shocked but refused to believe the truth. Shangguan Lan went to Shangguan Zhi’s room. He realized everything Pan Yue said was true and felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. Grand Commandant Jia brutally tortured Yang Caiwei and deliberately provoked Pan Yue.

He ordered Pan Yue to personally interrogate Yang Caiwei in court the next day to see if he could still speak so righteously. Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei didn’t sleep all night and arrived at the court. Pan Yue’s father asked Yang Caiwei if she was afraid, but she said she wasn’t—because she trusted that Pan Yue had a plan. Grand Commandant Jia, Lady Jia, and Zhuo Lanjiang, who blended into the crowd, were all present.

Pan Yue looked grim, especially after seeing the bloodstains on Yang Caiwei’s clothes. A eunuch brought several questions from the Empress, and Pan Yue had to ask them in public. Yang Caiwei repeatedly stressed that the princess had committed suicide, but no one believed her. She suggested opening the coffin for an autopsy. At that moment, a man stood up claiming to be a witness. It was Shangguan Lan.

Along with Ling Er, he identified the woman before them as not Shangguan Zhi but Yang Caiwei. The real Shangguan Zhi had been killed long ago. Taking advantage of his questioning, Shangguan Lan stabbed Yang Caiwei in the abdomen. With her last breath, Yang Caiwei relayed the princess's final words to Lady Jia. Lady Jia wouldn’t let her die and urgently called for the imperial physician.

As she watched Yang Caiwei being taken away, Grand Commandant Jia finally realized that they were trying to rescue the prisoner. This was all part of a plan involving friends and Shangguan Lan. Eight hours earlier, Pan Yue had sent A Ze to gather highly skilled fighters. Shangguan Lan had already made preparations. He knew Grand Commandant Jia was the one who got Shangguan Zhi killed, and he was determined to seek revenge.

Yang Caiwei had regained consciousness and was hiding in the courtesan selection courtyard, cared for by Bai Xiaosheng and Ling Er. Shangguan Lan left the capital to avoid trouble, leaving Yang Caiwei feeling more guilty. Too many people had already been implicated.
