Ling Buyi interrogated the prisoner privately without first informing the Emperor, so the matter quickly reached the Court of Judicial Review. When Yuan Shen rushed to the inner prison, Peng Kun was already covered in wounds and severely weakened. Ignoring all objections, he insisted on taking Peng Kun away and warned Ling Buyi to think carefully—if Cheng Shaoshang were to fall into danger again, he would take her away from him.
As Wang Yanji tearfully pleaded outside Changqiu Palace, a new wave of disputes broke out in court. Lord Zuo tried to impeach Ling Buyi but was refuted by both Cheng Shaoshang and the Third Prince. The Crown Prince continued to play the role of the amiable mediator, attempting to ease tensions between both sides, while Ling Yi sat silently beside them.
Cheng Shaoshang truthfully explained the connection between Peng Kun and the Lone City case and pleaded with Emperor Wen to spare Wang Yanji’s unborn child. She promised to persuade Peng Kun to confess if granted mercy. Emperor Wen agreed, believing the child was innocent, and assured that Peng Kun’s wife and child would be unharmed. He also agreed to have the Northern Military Prison and the Court of Judicial Review investigate jointly.
After the morning court session, Cheng Shaoshang stormed off on her own, ignoring Ling Buyi completely—until he pulled her to a stop. Had Wang Yanji not revealed it, Cheng Shaoshang would have remained unaware: Ling Buyi's deep scheming chilled her to the bone. Back then, in order to expose Marquis Xiaoyue’s true colors, Ling Buyi watched him collude with Liang Xia to kill Liang Shang, and then frame the Crown Prince—without intervening.
Later, when Wen Xiujun fell into Xiaoyue’s trap, Ling Buyi had already known but never warned Empress Xuan. He would rather let Emperor Wen become disillusioned with the Empress and her son than help cover up the truth. Even when he punished Wen Xiujun and led the Black Armor Guard to storm the Censorate, it was less about avenging Cheng Shaoshang and more about escalating the situation surrounding the Fifth Princess, forcing Xiaoyue to strike first and expose himself.
In Cheng Shaoshang’s eyes, the Crown Prince treated Ling Buyi like his own brother, yet Ling Buyi used him to retaliate against Xiaoyue, resulting in the Crown Prince being alienated from the court. Yet Ling Buyi never intended to harm the Crown Prince—in fact, he always protected him. But the Crown Prince was too easily influenced and trusted Wang Chun and Tutor Lou too much—one a debauched fool, the other a self-righteous hypocrite.
If the Crown Prince continued like this, disaster was inevitable. If the weeds weren't pulled out, how could noble flowers be cultivated? Cheng Shaoshang only wanted to understand Ling Buyi and hoped he would be completely honest with her. Just as Ling Buyi was about to speak, the Crown Prince sent someone to summon him to the Eastern Palace—it was actually an arrangement by Ling Yi to have father and son meet.
Ling Buyi remained cold toward Ling Yi, making no effort to mend ties, and mocked his pretenses before walking out of the Eastern Palace. Wang Yanji, carrying the Emperor’s edict, brought food and wine to visit Peng Kun, only to discover he had already died—his old asthma acting up during solitary confinement, costing him the chance for treatment. Ling Buyi believed Ling Yi was responsible, but lacking proof, he left in anger. Peng Kun's death severed the trail.
Ling Buyi drank alone in the rain, weeping in anguish. Cheng Shaoshang, heartbroken, gently embraced him, vowing to stand by him no matter what happened. Just as Ling Buyi was about to reveal his true identity, news came of Huo Junhua’s critical illness, cutting him off. When Ling Buyi and Cheng Shaoshang hurried to Apricot Blossom Courtyard, it already felt like a space between life and death.
Cui You, with a sorrowful expression and dark circles under his eyes, sat silently weeping by Huo Junhua’s bed. No longer deranged, she was lucid—perhaps a final moment of clarity before death. Having endured the trials of time, she finally recognized Cui You as her true match, though it was too late. Upon seeing Ling Buyi, Huo Junhua called him to her side. Her gaze no longer held affection or regret but a burning, intense hatred.
She repeatedly urged him never to forget vengeance. Only after hearing his promise did she collapse back onto the bed and pass away. That night, torrential rain battered the withered apricot blossoms. By morning, Ling Buyi dismissed everyone and knelt alone in the mourning hall. His blank stare betrayed no emotion—no one could fathom his thoughts. Cheng Shaoshang believed her heart belonged to Ling Buyi for life and made a blood vow to never leave his side.
Yet Ling Buyi, staring at Huo Junhua’s memorial tablet, still couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth. Suddenly, Cui You’s angry shouts echoed outside. Ling Buyi rushed out to find Cui You striking Ling Yi. Only when Ling Buyi intervened did he stop. Seven days later would be Ling Yi’s 50th birthday banquet. He had intended to invite Huo Junhua to attend—yet this tragedy had struck. In a rare turn, Ling Buyi agreed to attend, but Cheng Shaoshang, watching from a distance, sensed something amiss.
