Under Yuwen Huai's strong guidance, several high-ranking officials understood the emperor's intentions and kept echoing Yuwen Huai, directing their accusations towards the Marquis Northern Settler. Only a General Song strongly supported the Marquis Northern Settler, and the emperor, without a word, turned around, drew his sword, and stabbed him to death.
The emperor issued an imperial decree to arrest the rebel Yan Shicheng, ordering Yuwen Huai and Wei Guang to apprehend Yan Xun, and all people on the river embankment were to be executed. Noble Consort Wei received the news and rushed to plead with the emperor. The emperor was naturally suspicious, and Noble Consort Wei found it difficult to speak too favorably for Yan Xun.
Now, the prominent clans in Chang'an had already begun to act, condemning the traitors of Great Wei. Noble Consort Wei's face was extremely grim; she knew that this matter was already irreversible. Wei Guang returned to his mansion and showed the emperor's secret decree to his grandson, Wei Shuye. Wei Shuye wanted to plead for Yan Xun, but the overall situation was set; the Marquis Northern Settler's family was doomed.
Now, his only choices were to conform to the general situation or to strongly support Yan Xun and be abandoned by his family, forever remaining an unknown wastrel. Wei Shuye clenched the secret decree tightly and made up his mind. Yuan Chun had been immersed in the pain of Yan Xun not liking her for the past two days, washing her face with tears all day long.
Yuan Song was urgently summoned back to the palace by Noble Consort Wei, who only told him that tonight would be a night of many events and advised him not to get involved. Noble Consort Wei took her son and went to her daughter, Imperial Princess Yuan Chun's palace. Today, she began to tell her children about the rules that must be observed as members of the imperial family.
As imperial royalty, they were born with glory and wealth that ordinary people could never attain in a lifetime, but at the same time, they had to pay a price: friendship and love, which were easily accessible to common people, were absolutely forbidden for them to touch. Yuan Song and Yuan Chun did not yet understand their mother consort's intention in saying these words.
Noble Consort Wei did not wish to elaborate, only telling them to stay put and not go anywhere. Yuan Chun sensed her mother consort's unusual demeanor today and sent her personal maid, Caiwei, to inquire about the news. Caiwei found out about what the emperor encountered by the moat today, and the news that he had already killed General Song. Yuan Chun realized that the emperor was going to act against Northern Yan.
She packed some valuables, intending to tip off Yan Xun and escape with him. Noble Consort Wei stopped Yuan Chun at the city gate. Yuan Chun was an imperial princess of Great Wei; now that the emperor had ordered the elimination of Yan Xun's family, Yuan Chun had to take her own stance. Yuan Chun knelt on the ground, pleading desperately with her mother consort to let her go out and save Brother Yan Xun.
Noble Consort Wei also couldn't bear to see her daughter sad, but letting her go would only harm her. Chu Qiao saw the guards of Hongshan House again looking for serving maids for Yuwen Xi. She thought the time was ripe and was about to return to Qingshan House when she discovered Yan Xun's page, Feng Mian, waiting for her on the small path she usually took to enter and exit the mansion.
Feng Mian delivered a message for Yan Xun: he would wait for her outside the west city gate at Hai shi tonight, come what may. Before Chu Qiao left, Feng Mian suddenly asked her if she would arrive on time. Chu Qiao told him to inform Yan Xun that if she didn't show up, he shouldn't wait any longer.
Afterwards, Chu Qiao returned to her room and told her two younger sisters to go to the west city gate at Hai shi tonight to wait for her. If she didn't appear, she told them to follow Yan Xun. Activities were frequent in Chang'an. Yan Shicheng had also led his people to outside the city. He planned to rest here for a night and enter the city tomorrow. Night quietly fell. The forest outside the city was extremely silent.
Yuwen Huai silently led his people to surround Yan Shicheng and his party. With the shot of a sharp arrow, both sides began to fight. Yan Shicheng had no intention of rebellion, so he brought very few people. In less than a moment, blood stained the land beneath their feet, and Yuwen Huai's sharp sword also pierced through Yan Shicheng's chest.
The Marquis Northern Settler, who had distinguished himself with military exploits throughout his life, thus died outside Chang'an, perishing under the emperor's suspicions. Meanwhile, Chu Qiao quietly infiltrated Hongshan House, blending in with the maids the guards had prepared for Yuwen Xi. She silently left fingerprints on a pillar and then feigned an accidental grasp of a guard's hand, imprinting all the red marks from her hand onto his. The Bliss Chamber was burning the richly scented blood incense.
Chu Qiao knew that this blood incense must have a mind-confusing effect. Fortunately, she had internal energy protecting her, allowing her to remain clear-headed. Yuwen Xi stepped closer to the usual pleasure pool, cruelly covering a maid's entire face with a gauze scarf, gradually applying pressure to suffocate her. With a "chi" sound, the hard object pierced flesh. Yuwen Xi turned his head back in disbelief, seeing a woman in black holding a silver hairpin stuck into his side. Yuwen Xi did not recognize Chu Qiao. At this moment, he was already so frightened by her that he collapsed into the pool.
