Ling Buyi, drinking on the city tower to drown his sorrows, suddenly saw dozens of men in black surrounding Han Wu and rushed to help. He managed to save Han Wu and kept one of the attackers alive. Han Wu reported that he had found a physician who revealed that the soldiers sent to investigate the miasma had all died from blade wounds.
Fearing for his life after discovering this, the physician had resigned and gone into hiding under a false name. But the physician was assassinated once his identity was exposed. Now, the only clue must come from the remaining captive. Just as Han Wu was questioning the assassin about who sent him, the killer launched a hidden weapon attack. With Han Wu’s death, the mastermind behind it all was now alert, making it impossible for Ling Buyi to investigate openly.
He would have to conduct a covert probe. Emperor Wen sent court physicians to examine Ling Buyi’s injuries, but he refused them all and shut his doors. The Emperor, overly concerned but knowing Ling Buyi's temperament, became troubled and confided in Consort Yue about how Ling Buyi even hid his wounds to protect Cheng Shaoshang. Consort Yue listened with increasing amusement, finding it all very natural—after all, she and the Emperor had also behaved that way in their youth.
But they were childhood sweethearts with mutual affection. Ling Buyi always considered Cheng Shaoshang in everything, while she had not responded at all, not even visiting him. At Consort Yue’s suggestion, Emperor Wen summoned both Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi to the palace. On the day Cheng Shaoshang was summoned, she unexpectedly ran into the arrogant and aggressive Third Princess, who openly insulted her as crude and cunning, claiming she was unworthy of Ling Buyi.
As the Third Princess was about to order her maid to slap Cheng Shaoshang, Ling Buyi arrived to defend her. The princess, relying on Ling Buyi’s past affection, continued to berate Cheng Shaoshang publicly. But Ling Buyi retorted that she was ungrateful and mocked her for her past embezzlement, bringing shame to Emperor Wen. Before the Third Princess could reply, Ling Buyi declared that Cheng Shaoshang was the only one in his heart and left with her, hand in hand.
Cheng Shaoshang, unable to hide her joy, now cared about Ling Buyi’s injuries. Just yesterday, she was cold and distant; today, her care was so attentive it surprised Ling Buyi. Ling Buyi made it clear that he would never break off the engagement. He had chosen Cheng Shaoshang for life. Likewise, Cheng Shaoshang had already given up the idea of breaking the engagement. Especially after recalling their time together, she realized that Ling Buyi’s feelings were genuine.
Even the hardest heart would be touched by such sincerity. Though they had different beliefs and Cheng Shaoshang often questioned their inequality, Ling Buyi hoped she understood that he saw her as his wife, and everything he had was hers. To show he had changed, Ling Buyi took out some food from his handkerchief and gave it to Cheng Shaoshang, saying he would not interfere in her preferences or actions.
Looking at the tall and handsome young man before her, Cheng Shaoshang felt as if her heart had crossed mountains and valleys, traversed deep canyons, and finally found a home. She was deeply moved. In the palace hall, Emperor Wen, dressed in his usual robes, sat at the head. Beside him was Empress Xuan, simply dressed, and below them sat the smiling Crown Prince and his gentle and refined wife.
When Emperor Wen questioned Cheng Shaoshang, she hadn’t yet thought about how to be a good wife. Ling Buyi entered and knelt beside her. Emperor Wen, seeing her leg injury, let them both sit to answer. In Emperor Wen’s view, Cheng Shaoshang wasn’t highly educated and might not be worthy of Ling Buyi. Cheng Shaoshang admitted this herself, but Ling Buyi didn’t mind at all and even praised her intelligence.
However, since Ling Buyi was a pillar of the state and Emperor Wen treated him like a son, he decided that Cheng Shaoshang should enter the palace and be taught by Empress Xuan. Cheng Shaoshang didn’t want to live in the palace. Ling Buyi offered to escort her daily. Seeing the closeness between them, the Emperor and Empress were pleased. However, Cheng Shaoshang still remembered the humiliation by Wang Yanji and brought it up to Emperor Wen.
At first, he dismissed it as a petty quarrel, but her lengthy reasoning, along with Ling Buyi’s support, convinced him. He issued a decree to the Wang family. At that moment, the Wang household received an uninvited guest—an envoy from Shouchun, sent by Prefect Peng Kun to deliver news about the situation of Prince Qian’an. He hoped Lady Wen Xiu could persuade His Majesty to allow Shouchun to mint their own currency.
Lady Wen Xiu came from a prestigious family and was related to Emperor Wen. After the old Prince Qian’an passed away, the Wen clan declined and relied on Peng Kun to maintain their ancestral estate. The now-of-age Wang Yanji attracted the envoy’s interest, and using the excuse of repaying favors, he pressured Lady Wen Xiu to marry her daughter to Peng Kun so she could bear him children.
But Peng Kun was already in his sixties, and marrying Wang Yanji to him would be like throwing her into a lion’s den, ruining her life. Lady Wen Xiu believed that the Qian’an royal line should rule the realm, and to revive her maternal family, she was willing to sacrifice her daughter. Just then, the eunuch arrived with the imperial decree. Lady Wen Xiu, relying on her status, still refused to kneel.
After the decree was read, she slapped Wang Yanji in front of everyone. The eunuch left without comment. Though Lady Wen Xiu had always indulged Wang Yanji’s arrogance, she could not allow disgrace to the family—especially not to lose to the daughter of a military household.
