No matter how much Wei Shuyou argued, the evidence of his killing Zhao Xifeng was conclusive. Seeing that the emperor did not intend to show mercy, Wei Guang, in order to preserve the family's interests, picked up the spiral arrow from the ground and personally stabbed his son to death. The emperor ordered Wei Shuyou's corpse to be exposed for three days as a warning to all.

Yan Xun walked on the road leaving the palace, recalling the entire process of how he designed the killing of Zhao Xifeng and framed Wei Shuyou. He personally killed Zhao Xifeng, and Chu Qiao then placed the Northern Yan military readiness map into Wei Shuyou's camp tent. They cooperated seamlessly, leaving no flaws. However, this was only the first step of Yan Xun's revenge. Wei Guang personally killed his son.

He was cold and merciless in front of others, but behind closed doors, he could no longer pretend to be indifferent, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Wei Guang had marked down Yan Xun's grudge. As the sun hid in the clouds, about to quietly set, in the distance were green mountains and verdant slopes, and the hillside was covered with lush green grass.

Zhong Yu and Wu Daoya sat on the grass, gazing at the faint twilight in the distance. Wu Daoya was once an important minister under the Marquis Northen Settler. He was skilled in strategy and planning. After the Marquis Northen Settler's death, he had been actively preparing for Yan Xun's return to Northern Yan. He reminded Zhong Yu that the Wei clan would never give up.

In moments of crisis, they must protect Yan Xun's life even if it meant sacrificing all their internal contacts on Vermilion Bird Street. Zhong Yu's expression was firm, without the slightest hint of retreat. For the Heir Apparent, these sacrifices were all worth it. Wu Daoya reached out and held Zhong Yu's hand. They had always been so deeply connected.

Yan Xun received news from the young attendant Feng Mian that the Wei clan was heavily buying off merchants in Xianyang, a crucial location in Northern Yan, attempting to cut off Northern Yan's economic lifeline without bloodshed. It seemed the Wei clan had to be dealt with. At this moment, Supervisor Zhao from the Royal Palace arrived to convey an imperial decree summoning Chu Qiao to the Royal Palace.

The emperor's intention for this summons was unclear, but if it was fortune, it was not disaster; if it was disaster, it could not be avoided. Chu Qiao followed Supervisor Zhao into the Royal Palace and waited outside the palace hall for the summons. Yuwen Huai suddenly appeared. Seeing Chu Qiao, he was itching with hatred.

Upon seeing Chu Qiao holding a precious sword, he ordered his men to seize Chu Qiao, citing her unauthorized possession of a weapon in the Royal Palace. Chu Qiao naturally would not surrender without a fight, but it was not appropriate to shed blood in the Royal Palace. Her footwork was agile as she dodged, aiming not to harm anyone, but this only put her at a disadvantage, trapping her in a dense encirclement.

At the critical moment, Yuwen Yue suddenly appeared, claiming that what Chu Qiao held was his Moon Breaking Sword. As a dignified Junior Commander of the Cavalry Battalion, it was perfectly proper for him to bring a sword into the Royal Palace. Instead, it was Yuwen Huai who had been demoted three ranks; who allowed him to bring weapons into the Royal Palace privately? Yuwen Huai had originally only entered the Royal Palace to see Chun'er.

He just happened to run into Chu Qiao and decided to make things difficult for her. Now that Yuwen Yue had come to back her up, Yuwen Huai had no choice but to give up. Yuwen Yue led Chu Qiao to an empty, deserted area and coldly told her to return his sword. Chu Qiao was no longer Yuwen Yue's maidservant. She simply disliked Yuwen Yue speaking to her in a commanding tone.

If he wanted the sword, then he should return her sword first. Yuwen Yue mocked her, saying she spoke tough enough. The two immediately started fighting at the slightest disagreement, exchanging swords during the struggle. Chu Qiao wanted the slave liberation document. How could Yuwen Yue give it to her easily? He proposed a condition: Chu Qiao would be his maidservant for one more day in exchange.

If she couldn't get the slave liberation document for another day, Chu Qiao would be controlled by Yuwen Yue. She didn't want to be bound anymore, so she had no choice but to agree. The Emperor had to deal with important matters in the northwest and no longer had time to summon Chu Qiao. Returning to Yingge Pavilion, Chu Qiao said nothing, deliberately piquing Yan Xun's curiosity. Yan Xun was not anxious and just joked with her.

When they had enough fun, Chu Qiao told Yan Xun that the emperor had no time to see her, but she had met Yuwen Yue in the Royal Palace, and she could only retrieve the slave liberation document by being his maidservant for one day. Chu Qiao and Yan Xun had an understanding beforehand that they must not deceive each other, so she honestly told Yan Xun about this matter.

What she had decided, Yan Xun would not obstruct, even if he was unwilling. Early the next morning, Chu Qiao walked into Qingshan House early. After three years, returning to this place full of memories, Chu Qiao saw her former room had been cleaned spotlessly. She recalled the days when Yuwen Yue taught her martial arts hand-in-hand. If not for the subsequent events, they wouldn't be in such a state now.

Yue Qi told Chu Qiao that after she left, Yuwen Yue sent people to clean her room every day. He had clearly been looking forward to her coming, but when she arrived, he didn't treat her well. Yuwen Yue naturally ordered Chu Qiao to serve him tea and pour water. After drinking the tea, he then called Chu Qiao stupid, saying she didn't even use such a good opportunity to poison him.

Yuwen Yue had always called Chu Qiao Xing'er, because Xing'er was his personal maidservant, completely belonging to him. But Chu Qiao always emphasized that her name was Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao was a completely independent identity; this way, she would not exist by depending on anyone, and thus could interact with Yuwen Yue on equal footing. Yuwen Yue missed the days when they practiced sword-fighting together.

Today, returning to the backyard to practice sword-fighting with Chu Qiao, the feeling of the past seemed to have returned. Chu Qiao accidentally stepped on loose gravel and was about to slip. Yuwen Yue quickly moved forward. Chu Qiao instinctively used her sword to block, and the sharp sword tip instantly cut Yuwen Yue's palm. At the same time, he caught Chu Qiao with his other arm.

The two had lunch together, both eyeing a piece of braised pork, neither willing to give way. But it was tough on that piece of meat; it was snatched back and forth between them and accidentally fell to the ground. Chu Qiao continued to guard the plate of meat, not letting Yuwen Yue eat it. Yuwen Yue, having no choice, turned to eat the green bamboo shoots next to him, while Chu Qiao happily ate the meat.

Unexpectedly, they were still at loggerheads in the morning, yet now they could sit together so happily and eat. Night fell in a blink of an eye. Chu Qiao made the bed and went to find Yuwen Yue. Yuwen Yue showed her the Thousand-Soul-Killing Powder. It was refined from the venom of Persian poisonous spiders, and it was said that one drop could kill a thousand people.

This was precisely the poison that Yuwen Yue's grandfather had been poisoned with on the day of his feigned death. At that time, Linxi also suffered from this poison, but there was only one Revival Pill. Linxi was in unbearable pain and asked Yuwen Yue to kill him. Chu Qiao felt indignation for Linxi's innocent death. Yuwen Yue, however, felt pity for her, thinking she shouldn't live only for others—previously for her so-called family, and now for Yan Xun.

Watching Chu Qiao's retreating figure, deep reluctance appeared in Yuwen Yue's eyes. Before Chu Qiao left, Yue Qi explained to her how Yuwen Yue had acted back then, using the needle-pricking method to make her feign death. Chu Qiao instinctively clutched the slave liberation document in her hand and left without hesitation. Returning to Yingge Pavilion, Chu Qiao lay on the bed, holding the Canhong Sword.

Remembering the scene when Yuwen Yue "killed" her, she found it difficult to fall asleep for a long time. She had not expected the truth to be like this. The imperial mausoleum was leaking, and Supervising Minister Wei Guang could not shirk his responsibility. The emperor dispatched Yuwen Yue to thoroughly investigate the matter. Among the stolen items from the imperial mausoleum was an object called the White Jaded Cauldron.

Placed on the imperial mausoleum's feng shui line, it could protect all directions and enhance the nation's fortune, making it extremely important and something that must be recovered. Additionally, the emperor reminded Yuwen Yue to clearly understand his position and not to be confused regarding Yan Xun's affairs.
