Fu Yao urged the Empress not to interfere with Changsun Wuji's decisions, stating that he is a responsible man capable of making his own choices. She affirmed that even if his path led to error, she would stand by him, as he needs a companion, not just strategists. The Empress, however, expressed deep concern, believing that some choices, once made, are irreversibly wrong.
As Fu Yao left the bedchamber, she encountered Changsun Wuji, who revealed he had overheard their entire conversation. He embraced her tightly, grateful for her profound understanding. Changsun Wuji then entered the bedchamber alone to speak with his mother, the Empress. She expressed her relief at his return, confessing that his presence was her sole anchor in the palace.
She tried to persuade him regarding Changsun Jia's rebellion, but Changsun Wuji remained unyielding, asserting his commitment to his identity as Crown Prince and his resolve to punish all rebellions. As the Empress began to reveal a critical secret concerning Changsun Jia’s true relationship with Changsun Wuji, Changsun Jiong's attendant arrived with a "soup that can calm your mind," effectively silencing her. Changsun Wuji then departed, leaving the Empress to despair and pray for his safety from war.
At the rebel camp, Changsun Pingrong confronted Changsun Jia, expressing his frustration at being kept waiting despite bringing 80,000 elite soldiers. He questioned Changsun Jia’s tactics, noting the early attrition of their forces, and even sarcastically suggested he be taken hostage.
Changsun Jia retorted that Changsun Pingrong, having already tried to harm Changsun Wuji's loved ones, was worthless as a hostage and insinuated Changsun Pingrong was the one Changsun Wuji truly hated due to his past involvement with the master of Qinglan Palace. Changsun Pingrong urged Changsun Jia to be ruthless. Changsun Jia affirmed his intent to show no mercy to Changsun Wuji on the battlefield, even if it meant the Empress's lasting resentment, believing she would eventually forget her hatred.
Satisfied, Changsun Pingrong pledged his allegiance, and they decided it was time to execute their palace arrangements. Simultaneously, in the palace, Changsun Jiong's attendants assured him that his own intricate plans were fully in motion. Back in the palace, black-clad figures posing as Changsun Jia’s men attempted to abduct the Empress. She quickly realized their deceit but was overpowered and taken. Shortly after, a decoy Empress was led out by Changsun Jia's delayed forces.
Meanwhile, as Changsun Wuji was discussing Changsun Jia's surprising rebellion with Fu Yao, a guard reported the Empress’s disappearance. As Changsun Wuji moved to investigate, Tian Ji forcibly summoned his consciousness to Qiongcang, extracting another Six Dust Flower, which caused Changsun Wuji immense pain. Tian Ji sternly warned him against further delay, accusing him of jeopardizing the fate of all beings and acting like a traitor. Changsun Wuji pleaded for more time to stabilize Tianquan, promising to atone afterward.
Upon his return, Fu Yao used her power to help him recover, though she admitted to Jiang Feng that she didn't fully understand the nature of his recurring weakness. Jiang Feng learned that two highly skilled groups were involved in the Empress's abduction, likely to transport her to Changsun Jia’s rebel camp as a hostage to force Changsun Wuji's surrender.
Moments later, as Jiang Feng restrained Changsun Wuji from rushing out of the palace, reminding him of the trap and assuring him of the Empress and Fu Yao's safety, Fu Yao herself was suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious black-clad figure. The next day, Changsun Wuji, desperate to rescue Fu Yao, was again held back by Jiang Feng, who warned him against falling into Changsun Jia’s trap. Just then, Changsun Jiong’s attendant summoned Changsun Wuji to an audience.
In the hall, a seemingly weak Changsun Jiong lamented the betrayals by Changsun Jia and Changsun Pingrong, claiming Changsun Wuji was his only remaining hope. He then handed Changsun Wuji a sword, commanding him to lead the army and personally execute Changsun Jia. Changsun Wuji hesitated, concerned for the Empress’s safety. Changsun Jiong then recounted a fabricated history: Changsun Jia and the Empress were once lovers, and though he loved her, he allowed her to choose.
Yet, she later married him for the throne, only to rekindle her affair with Changsun Jia and secretly poison Changsun Jiong. He claimed to have barely survived, confined to daily alchemy to suppress the poison, unable to govern. Changsun Jiong implored Changsun Wuji to avenge him, demanding Changsun Jia’s death by Changsun Wuji’s own hand, or he would die unresting. Moved by his father’s apparent suffering, Changsun Wuji gripped the sword and agreed.
In the Jiangbei camp, Changsun Jia eagerly awaited the Empress but was shocked to find his former wife, Xuanyuan Xiao, whom he called Rong. He asked about the Empress, but Xuanyuan Xiao bitterly refused to disclose anything, even at the cost of her life. Changsun Jia could not bring himself to harm her.
Xuanyuan Xiao then unleashed her long-held grievances, accusing him of never truly treating her as his wife and blaming his obsession with the Empress for her and Lian’er’s past suffering, and her own near-fatal experience. Changsun Jia, stunned by her revelations, pressed for details, but Xuanyuan Xiao refused, stating she was the assassin who failed to take the Empress and was ready for any punishment. Changsun Jia told her to rest.
He then confronted Changsun Pingrong, suspecting him of leaking information that led to the Empress’s abduction being foiled. Changsun Pingrong denied the accusation. Changsun Jia, deeming the source of the leak irrelevant, declared his intention to immediately launch an assault to rescue the Empress, regardless of their forces' unpreparedness. Changsun Pingrong, horrified by Changsun Jia’s rashness, declared him insane and his plan doomed to fail, resolving to withdraw his 80,000 troops and abandon the alliance.
Fu Yao awakened to find herself and the Empress chained within a highly secretive chamber. The Empress informed Fu Yao that their struggles were futile, as they were in Tianquan’s most crucial secret room, bound by chains unbreakable for a century, and no one would hear their cries.
Fu Yao expressed shock at Changsun Jia’s apparent cruelty, but the Empress, with a bitter laugh, corrected her, revealing that the true manipulator behind their dire predicament was not Changsun Jia, but the sinister Changsun Jiong.
