One night without sleep, Yuwen Yue still looked as radiant and graceful as ever. Yue Qi came to report on Zhu Shun's accusation that Chu Qiao had murdered Madame Song. Yuwen Yue did not even lift his head, directly telling him to handle it. He casually tossed the silk handkerchief beside him to Yue Qi, telling him to throw it away. Before Yue Qi left, Yuwen Yue changed his mind again, instructing him to wash it clean and return it.
It was already bright daylight, and many household servants and maids gathered by the lake. A total of three bodies were retrieved from the lake, all badly decomposed and emitting a foul smell. One of them was a male corpse, carrying a money pouch embroidered with the character "Xie." This was Doctor Xie, who had treated Yuwen Yue on the day he was poisoned.
Although the remaining two were female corpses, they were both maids from iron bells, clearly not Madame Song. In a noble family, the death of a maid was not a serious matter, but Doctor Xie was a gentry member. Chu Qiao suggested that a coroner should be called for an autopsy. Yuwen Huai stared at Chu Qiao and said coldly, "The maid trained by Yuwen Yue has quite a stiff neck."
Zhu Shun immediately went up obsequiously, intending to chop off Chu Qiao's neck. Yue Qi stepped forward to block him, saying, "If you want to touch someone from Qingshan House, you need evidence, don't you?" Zhu Shun had long bribed the cook. At this moment, he summoned the cook, who groundlessly accused Chu Qiao. The cook's words had too many flaws. Yue Qi couldn't be bothered to deal with her and directly took Chu Qiao back to Qingshan House.
Yuwen Huai had been busy for so long, but apart from making everyone laugh at him, he gained nothing. The Third Master was extremely disappointed in him and ridiculed him greatly, saying that this generation of the Third Branch would be ruined by Yuwen Huai, this concubine-born son. Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huai's eyes turned fierce, and he secretly vowed that he would make the old man pay someday.
Xiaoba looked at the scar on her face in the mirror, secretly anxious. Yuwen Yue was very fond of Chu Qiao. Xiaoba thought that if Chu Qiao could rise in status, they would also benefit from it. She was clearly blinded by her ruined appearance and had forgotten how her sisters had died. Her words were met with opposition from Xiao Qi. Xiaoba, eager to defend herself, accidentally revealed Chu Qiao's true identity. Chu Qiao was very good to them.
Xiao Qi couldn't bear to lie to her anymore, so she told Chu Qiao that the wood bead was the key to proving her identity. Upon hearing this, Chu Qiao untied the wood bead and took out the note inside, but it was blank. Chu Qiao repeatedly studied the note. A young maid brought a box to her, saying it was from Mister. Chu Qiao opened the redwood box and was surprised to find a fine jade bracelet inside.
She immediately went to serve tea to Yuwen Yue, but after placing the tea, she turned to leave without any sign of gratitude. This made Yuwen Yue, who had been waiting for a word of thanks, unable to resist reminding her to know how to repay kindness. Chu Qiao deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, saying she would go thank Yue Qi. Yuwen Yue, annoyed, told her to hand over the gift he had intended for her to Yue Qi instead.
After Chu Qiao left, Yuwen Yue stood up and occasionally peeked outside the door. When he saw Chu Qiao return, he immediately turned away, feigning indifference. Chu Qiao pointed to the ring on her hand and, with a charming smile, thanked Mister. She said it was her size and Yue Qi couldn't wear it, so giving it to him would be a waste. Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yue's lips curled into a slight smile.
The defense map at the border between Great Wei and Northern Yan was stolen. The Emperor ordered Yuwen Huai to thoroughly investigate the matter. Yan Xun, as the Heir Apparent of Northern Yan, was listed as the primary suspect. Subsequently, the Emperor summoned Yuwen Yue and recounted historical anecdotes of loyal ministers plotting rebellion, implying something. As the successor of the Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes, Yuwen Yue believed in evidence and was unwilling to make unnecessary conjectures.
The Emperor was very displeased by this. The Emperor distrusted the Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes. If the spies Liang had planted in Great Wei could not be quickly cleared out, the revival of the Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes would be difficult to achieve. Yuwen Zhuo wanted to use Chu Qiao. Yuwen Yue believed it was absolutely impossible, as Chu Qiao's current abilities were not yet sufficient for the task.
However, Yuwen Zhuo used the thing Yuwen Yue most wanted to know as a condition for exchange: if Chu Qiao could kill that person, he would tell Yuwen Yue the reason his mother went mad. In the stone chamber filled with traps, Chu Qiao was bound by two heavy iron chains, her hands tied, trapped in the middle of the chamber. Behind her was an hourglass. Once the sand ran out, all the traps in the chamber would be triggered.
Time passed bit by bit, but Chu Qiao showed no sign of breaking free. As soon as the sand ran out, multiple arrows instantly shot forth. Watching the sharp arrows fly towards her, Chu Qiao's inner energy was instantly activated. With a clang, the iron chains snapped. However, the traps had already been triggered. Chu Qiao dodged with all her might but still inevitably sustained injuries. Yuwen Yue couldn't help but intervene and rescue her.
Yuwen Yue returned to his study. Yan Xun came over and threw a bag of money at him, saying he wanted to buy Chu Qiao. Yuwen Yue, of course, refused to sell her. Yan Xun keenly perceived Yuwen Yue's motive for training Chu Qiao. He reasoned with him, saying that Chu Qiao's nature was similar to his own and she was not suited for this place.
Yuwen Yue countered, asking him if Chu Qiao wouldn't be implicated given the tense situation in Northern Yan. At this moment, Chu Qiao was continuously practicing archery in the courtyard when she suddenly saw a sleek, glossy horse slowly approaching. It was Yan Xun's beloved steed, Storm. Yuan Song arrived shortly after. He had borrowed Storm from Yan Xun, but unfortunately, Storm was too proud and wouldn't let him ride.
Seeing Storm quietly eating grass, docilely allowing Chu Qiao to stroke its neck and smooth its mane, Yuan Song was extremely envious and eagerly invited Chu Qiao to ride the horse and take him for a ride.
