Yuan Ling sat quietly alone in the bamboo hut, his eyes deep, not knowing where he was looking. He had already anticipated that Eleven had not obtained the ledger. The Yin family truly wanted to support Yuan Zhan, and now Yuan Zhan releasing news was merely to lure him to meet him. The success or failure of this chess game actually depended on Yuan Zhan's attitude.

After instructing Eleven, Yuan Ling prepared to meet Yuan Zhan, but unexpectedly ran into Feng Qingchen. He told Feng Qingchen that Yin Su might not testify now, and Feng Qingchen might have to be buried with him. Feng Qingchen raised an eyebrow; she did not believe that His Royal Highness King Ling was someone who would give up easily. Yuan Ling, however, smiled wickedly, grabbed Feng Qingchen's hand, and bit it lightly on his lips.

Feng Qingchen frowned in pain, but Yuan Ling did not feel any pain. It turned out he had long known that Feng Qingchen had drawn the poison for him and had also broken the cycle of life and death.

Although Feng Qingchen kept saying that she helped him to preserve the hope of the Wu clan and that she would spare no effort for it, Yuan Ling told her that he wanted to save not only the Wu clan but also the common people of the world. At Prince Zhan's mansion, Yuan Zhan unhurriedly brewed tea. The fragrance of tea, blended with the scent of flowers, was refreshing.

He was curious about the deeper meaning of the "common people of the world" that his fourth brother spoke of. Yuan Ling honestly spoke of the current situation where officials in the court shielded each other and exploited the common people. He had painstakingly found a few clues about these corrupt officials, and now whether these clues would be considered evidence depended on Yuan Zhan. Yuan Zhan knew his fourth brother was referring to the Yin family's ledger.

He stood with his hands behind his back, only advising Yuan Ling to first find a way to prove his innocence. Yuan Ling did not care. He only hoped that Yuan Zhan would protect Madam Yin.

For this, he could sacrifice the chance to prove his innocence and hand Yin Su over to Yuan Zhan, because only Yin Su knew the true cause of Yuan Xi's death, and Yuan Xi's death was related to whether the aristocratic families had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, disregarding the common people and the nation. As for what was more important, he believed Yuan Zhan would make his own choice.

As night fell, Yuan Ling filled the area outside the bamboo hut with warm, bright flower lanterns. He gently told Ting'er that his wish was to help Ting'er fulfill his wish. However, young Ting'er righteously declared that his wish was to kill the murderer of his father, an eye for an eye. Yuan Ling smiled upon hearing this, thinking he was indeed a descendant of his Yuan family. Then Madam Zheng led her son into the room.

Yuan Ling's kindness had already made Ting'er realize that he would not be the murderer. Ting'er solemnly promised his mother that in the future, he would definitely uncover the truth about his father's death and also clear his fourth uncle's name. Deep in the bamboo forest, the moonlight was cool. Feng Qingchen, holding a wine pot, stumbled towards Yuan Ling.

Her cheeks were flushed, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, and she drunkenly questioned Yuan Ling, asking why he didn't care about life and death at all when tomorrow was the deadline, and if there was nothing or no one he couldn't bear to part with. Yuan Ling had fought on battlefields, galloping far and wide, without any worries. Feng Qingchen looked at him, and finally embraced him tightly, burying herself deep in his arms.

Yuan Ling became suspicious, picked her up, and asked who she really was. Feng Qingchen, with a sudden idea, struggled and threw herself back into Yuan Ling's arms, calling out "Daddy." Seeing this, Yuan Ling finally shook his head helplessly. In the imperial court, Eleven brought Yin Su to testify. Unexpectedly, Yin Su lied brazenly, insisting that King Ling had killed King Xi and that she was forced to give false testimony.

Within the palace walls, heavily armed soldiers surrounded the area. Yuan An sat in the center, and Yuan Ling, dressed in plain clothes, knelt below. Unexpectedly, Yuan An actually designated Yuan Zhan to carry out the execution. Even though Yuan Zhan's sword was already unsheathed, Yuan Ling did not defend himself, because he believed Yuan Zhan already knew the whole truth. As expected, when the sword fell, it was aimed at Yin Su, who was standing nearby.

Yuan Zhan rebuked her for her endless lies and presented the Yin family's ledger of corruption. Seeing this, Yin Su confessed everything, stating that she was instructed by Noble Consort Yin to kill Yuan Xi and then frame Yuan Ling. Yuan An was furious upon hearing this. Noble Consort Yin was still trying to argue.

Yuan Zhan was heartbroken; his own mother had committed numerous crimes yet still wanted to use Ting'er to frame his fourth brother, and he himself had actually been present yesterday when she ordered Jin Fei to entice Yin Su. At this moment, Feng Qingchen, in disguise, arrived at the execution ground with Ting'er. Ting'er tremblingly knelt beside Yuan Zhan and revealed that Noble Consort Yin had made him poison his fourth uncle and steal the military seal.

Just then, Eleven also presented evidence of treason and collusion with the enemy, which was found in Noble Consort Yin's secret chamber. With this, Noble Consort Yin finally had no more excuses for rebuttal. Yuan An felt a chill at Noble Consort Yin's many crimes: poisoning her own son, framing the royal family, crimes for which even death would not suffice.

However, unable to resist Yuan Zhan's and Ting'er's pleas, he ordered Noble Consort Yin to be banished to the cold palace and imprisoned for life. Ting'er and Madam Zheng were also sent to Yuan Xi's fiefdom. He further ordered Yuan Ling and Eleven to thoroughly investigate the Yin family's corruption case, showing no leniency to anyone. After everyone had withdrawn, Yuan Ling pleaded with the Emperor to bury Yuan Xi in the imperial mausoleum.

Although Yuan Xi's crimes in life were unforgivable, where he was buried after death affected the living, and young Ting'er should not have to grow up bearing the mistakes of his father. Yuan An was deeply moved upon hearing this and granted Yuan Ling's request, hoping that no matter what happened in the future, he would not forget this original intention of brotherly love and respect.

On the other side, Prime Minister Yin frantically came to find Yuan Zhan, but was surprised to learn from Yuan Zhan that the ledger that had been handed over had already been tampered with by him. They would find nothing that shouldn't be found. From now on, if the Yin family wanted to rise again, they could only do so with a clean slate. " If you want to take, you must first give."

In the heart of the gentle and refined Seventh Prince Yuan Zhan, there was such a grand and profound scheme. Feng Qingchen asked Yuan Ling why he had given the leading role to Yuan Zhan. Yuan Ling calmly replied that he knew Yuan Zhan seemed indifferent to everything, yet he was most clear about the political landscape of the court.

By giving him the leading role, he could bring down the Yin family without using a single soldier, change the situation where powerful aristocratic families controlled the government, and also give fair opportunities for commoners to rise, thereby injecting fresh blood into the administration. Feng Qingchen was amazed by Yuan Ling's far-sighted vision and ambitions, and felt greatly relieved.

On the other side, Yuan Ji was ordered to bring the Twelfth Prince Yuan Li, who had been recuperating in a temple, back to the palace, but Yuan Li entangled him and made him stay in the wilderness for more than ten days. Yuan Li was born delicate and pretty, with a face full of childishness.

Having lived outside for a long time, he knew nothing about court affairs and was inevitably a bit timid, pressing Yuan Ji about why the royal family and the Wu clan had become enemies. Yuan Zhan came to visit the disgraced Noble Consort Yin. He kowtowed to his mother to apologize, but Noble Consort Yin said that if the Yin family could not regain control of the government, she would not see Yuan Zhan again.

She wanted Yuan Zhan to become her greatest hope. As mother and son, at the same time, Lian Fei worried that Yuan Ling might not be so lucky to escape next time. Yuan Ling calmly stated that he simply did not want the people of Great Wei to suffer. Lian Fei, upon hearing this, murmured distractedly that an old friend of hers had also said such words, but he had been killed by his own siblings.
