In a secluded room, Chen Xi was drinking and playing cards with a few others. Someone couldn’t help but ask why they were staying in such a rundown place when they had returned to seek refuge with the Second Prince. Chen Xi's expression turned serious. He stared closely at the man and warned him that the Legitimate Eldest Prince was not someone he could speak about so casually.

He reminded everyone that as long as they remained loyal to the Legitimate Eldest Prince, they would surely have a bright future. Just then, a disturbance was heard outside. Everyone quickly stopped what they were doing, grabbed their weapons, and rushed out to investigate. Before they could react, Yin Zheng had already surrounded the group with his men. Yin Zheng ordered them all to be captured, but demanded some be kept alive.

Chen Xi was quite loyal to Yin Song and refused to confess anything, even under Yin Zheng’s severe interrogation. He still wouldn’t admit to knowing Yin Song. However, he underestimated Yin Zheng’s capabilities—the latter already had evidence against him. After the interrogation, the soldiers prepared to escort Chen Xi and the others back to the criminal bureau. Under the cover of night, countless arrows rained from the sky like a downpour from the heavens, nearly engulfing everyone.

Amid the chaos, Chen Xi broke free from his ropes and managed to escape. Li Wei sat beneath the moonlight, waiting for Yin Zheng’s return. Seeing him come back with the evidence, Li Wei was overjoyed and rushed forward to embrace him. Although they had obtained the evidence to bring down Yin Song, Yin Zheng couldn't bring himself to feel happy. He sighed, lamenting that perhaps those who stood at the top also had little choice in life.

Li Wei comforted him, saying that if he ever strayed from the right path, she would be the one to scold him back to his senses. That day, Yin Zheng knelt outside the palace for a long time before finally presenting Yin Song’s list of crimes to the Lord. The Lord had already guessed the purpose of Yin Zheng’s visit, but had yet to decide what to do.

The Lord of Xinchuan had once been just a son born of a concubine. Only he knew the hardships he had endured to reach his current position. Back then, he had resolved to raise his Legitimate Eldest Prince well, so that he might live a smooth life and not suffer as he had. But in the end, things rarely go as one wishes. The Lord summoned Yin Song to the study and reminisced about the past with him.

Yin Song sensed something strange about his father that day and asked if he had any final instructions. The Lord didn’t answer but instead asked whether Yin Song had anything he wished to say. Yin Song had a foreboding feeling but, after some thought, still chose not to reveal his secret. The Lord sighed heavily, his eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness. When he learned he had been dismissed and exiled, Yin Song refused to believe it.

He rushed to the Lord to confirm the news, only to receive a definite answer. In an instant, Yin Song became like a trapped beast, wildly resisting. He questioned the Lord of Xinchuan, asking whether he had always been nothing but a pawn, if everything had merely been part of a grand scheme. The Lord was so infuriated that he nearly suffered a heart attack and ordered him to be dragged out.

To Yin Song, everyone always said he was the Legitimate Eldest Prince, that he had to shoulder the responsibility of the nine regions. But it seemed that no matter what he did, his father was never satisfied. So he feared that his brothers would surpass him, feared his father's disappointment. Hearing this, Yin Zheng’s throat tightened. He reminded Yin Song that those who stand tall must also be prepared for a hard fall.

Just as Yin Zheng was leaving, someone came in behind him with a cup of wine, claiming it was a gift from the Lord of Xinchuan. Disheartened, Yin Song raised the cup to drink it all, but Yin Zheng suddenly rushed in and knocked it over. When Yin Song saw clearly, he realized the servant delivering the wine was actually Chen Xi.

After hearing about this, the Lord of Xinchuan personally went to the Sixth Prince’s residence to ask Yin Zheng why he had saved Yin Song. Upon hearing Yin Zheng’s answer, the Lord of Xinchuan felt deeply ashamed. He hadn’t expected that, in his son’s eyes, he wasn’t entirely irredeemable. Meanwhile, Yin Qi looked around his now-empty house and felt a deep emptiness inside. Worried that Shangguan Jing would suffer alongside him, he decided to send her away.
