Shen Danqing noticed that Du Yinger was somewhat distant from her. She worried that Luo Xueer might be instigating Yinger and affecting their relationship. Shen Zishan, Shen Danqing, and Xu Chengfeng studied Zhou You's poetry and painting again, guessing that the developing liquid was related to the woman mentioned in the poem. Shen Danqing suggested going to the library pavilion to look for clues related to the woman Zhou You loved.

The few of them came to the library pavilion, but discovered that Prince Yi had already ordered Zong Wei to block people here, not allowing anyone to enter the library pavilion. Shen Zishan stated that he had been very cautious this time and had not leaked any information. Xu Chengfeng naturally would not suspect Shen Zishan.

It turned out that this matter was leaked by a Shen family bodyguard who was threatened by Prince Yi with the lives of his family. Xu Chengfeng told Shen Danqing that he knew Shen Zishan had not leaked the news intentionally, but after all, he was already being watched by Prince Yi, so it was unavoidable that Prince Yi would obtain some clues through indirect means.

To prevent information leakage, Xu Chengfeng suggested that future actions would not be told to Shen Zishan first. Shen Zishan accidentally overheard the conversation between Xu Chengfeng and Shen Danqing, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. --- Because of Xu Chengfeng and Shen Danqing's distrust, Shen Zishan inevitably felt melancholic and drowned his sorrows in wine. Prince Yi appeared and provoked the relationship between Shen Zishan and Xu Chengfeng.

He also advised Shen Zishan to actively strive for Shen Danqing's affection. Prince Yi believed that a woman like Shen Danqing would definitely like a man stronger than her, and would absolutely not like a man who clearly liked her but didn't even dare to fight for her. Prince Yi promised that as long as Shen Zishan helped him, he would not only get a royal plaque, but also Shen Danqing.

Prince Yi believed that as long as Xu Chengfeng was still around, Shen Danqing would not see any other men in her eyes. As long as Xu Chengfeng was gone, all problems would be easily solved. Shen Zishan asked Prince Yi to ensure Xu Chengfeng's life, and he was willing to cooperate with Prince Yi. Shen Zishan gave Prince Yi an idea, deliberately leaving a loophole for them.

As expected, he saw Xu Chengfeng and Shen Danqing secretly sneaking into the library pavilion. As long as the two of them found the clue to the developing liquid, they could naturally reap the benefits. In the library pavilion, Shen Danqing and Xu Chengfeng discovered that Zhou You's beloved cousin from the Southern Dynasty had been forced apart from him by her parents. Zhou You's cousin was a brewer.

Afterwards, Shen Danqing looked up records and found that a female brewer from the Southern Dynasty around Zhou You's age might be Miss Fang, who was skilled at brewing plum wine. When Shen Danqing was a child, she had heard that a female brewer was constantly looking for a thousand-year-old plum tree to store wine. Xu Chengfeng had previously investigated that Licheng was a land of plum trees, and there was a thousand-year-old plum tree at the border.

Shen Danqing and Xu Chengfeng told Shen Zishan the news that the developing liquid was plum wine. At the same time, they handed the found plum wine to Shen Zishan. Shen Zishan happened to be going to a neighboring county to deliver escorted goods. Xu Chengfeng asked Shen Zishan to make a detour to the capital and hand this wine to the Elder.

As for him, he and Tian Hao would pretend to send the plum wine to the capital as a diversion to attract Prince Yi's attention. Shen Zishan handed the developing liquid to bodyguard Luo. In an instant, this item was given by bodyguard Luo to Prince Yi. At the same time, Shen Zishan also appeared before Prince Yi, asking him to keep his promise.

Prince Yi believed that after this incident, Xu Chengfeng would definitely be transferred back to the capital for questioning and punishment. As long as Shen Zishan was loyal to him in the future, he guaranteed that Shen Danqing would belong to Shen Zishan. After Shen Zishan left, Prince Yi instructed Zong Wei to quickly retrieve the treasure map so they could identify the authenticity of the developing liquid.

Zong Wei went alone to retrieve the treasure map, but was intercepted by Xu Chengfeng and Shen Zishan. Only then did Zong Wei realize that Shen Zishan was not truly loyal to Prince Yi. It turned out that before this, Xu Chengfeng had planned to use a trick. He knew that Prince Yi had coerced bodyguard Luo by threatening his younger brother, causing bodyguard Luo to reluctantly betray Shen Zishan.

At that time, Xu Chengfeng had already told Shen Zishan to pretend to pledge allegiance to Prince Yi, which then lured Prince Yi into taking out the treasure map. Zong Wei was unwilling to hand over the treasure map in his hand, even willing to destroy it rather than compromise. Xu Chengfeng gave Zong Wei time to consider.

At the same time, he ordered the guards to bring Prince Yi here, hoping Zong Wei could recognize Prince Yi's true face and thus abandon evil for good and hand over the treasure map. Prince Yi reluctantly followed the guards to Zong Wei's hiding place. Xu Chengfeng directly accused Prince Yi of instructing Zong Wei to kill Baisitong to cover up evidence, and later using an antidote to coerce them and take away the evidence in their hands.

Facing Xu Chengfeng's accusation, Prince Yi completely denied it and stated that he had never seen the treasure map at all. He even completely disregarded Zong Wei's life, stating that anything Zong Wei did had nothing to do with him. Prince Yi ordered Zong Wei to hand over the treasure map. Zong Wei handed over the treasure map and took all the responsibility for stealing the treasure map upon himself.

Zong Wei stated that he lost his parents at a young age and was raised by his adoptive father. Now, his adoptive father was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, which was why he risked danger to steal the treasure map. Seeing Prince Yi distance himself from the treasure map case, Xu Chengfeng had no choice but to let the guards temporarily take Zong Wei away for detention.

Xu Chengfeng earnestly urged Prince Yi to confess his guilt and accept the law early, saying that the Emperor would also give a lighter punishment out of consideration for their blood ties. However, Prince Yi insisted that everything about the treasure map theft was Zong Wei's personal doing. Zong Wei was single-mindedly loyal to Prince Yi. To protect Prince Yi's life, he took the poison he carried with him and died.

Xu Chengfeng didn't expect Prince Yi to be so ruthless, turning around and leaving without hesitation after learning of Zong Wei's death. Having lost such a loyal subordinate, Prince Yi harbored resentment in his heart and was determined to make Xu Chengfeng and Shen Zishan pay the price. Xu Chengfeng handed the plum wine and the treasure map to the captain of the guards, asking him to take them back to the capital and give them to the Elder.

He also reminded him to use the plum wine as developing liquid, noting that its effectiveness after opening was only half a month. Xu Chengfeng and Shen Danqing admired the moon together, agreeing that once Luo Xueer's matter was resolved, Xu Chengfeng would accompany Shen Danqing to explore the vast landscapes and brilliant starry skies. Along the way, Shen Danqing was very grateful that Xu Chengfeng had always believed in her.

He was like the light in her life, allowing her to still believe in the beauty of the world despite experiencing hardships. Xu Chengfeng, however, stated that whether she was Shen Danqing or Luo Ailian, she was the person he wanted to protect. Under the moonlight, the two expressed their feelings for each other, embraced, and kissed.
