Regarding He Xiao's embezzlement of military supplies, Chu Qiao suggested that someone might have impersonated him. But Xue Zhileng did not buy it. Someone had to bear the consequences for the lost military supplies. Seeing Xue Zhileng insisted on the execution, Chu Qiao had no choice but to kneel down with He Xiao, claiming that Yuwen Yue personally handed her the warrant, and she was the one who lost it.

Xue Zhileng was not foolish; naturally, he did not believe her. His authority was challenged, and in a fit of impulse, he even planned to punish Chu Qiao as well. Chu Qiao dared to step forward, naturally having already thought of a countermeasure. She was the savior of Crown Prince Xiao Ce of Liang, and Xiao Ce had already requested commendation for her from the Emperor, but the Emperor's decree had not yet arrived.

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhileng, though unwilling, had to temporarily stop. In fact, the warrant was in Xue Zhileng's hands. He had taken the batch of bows and arrows to profit from them and also wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate He Xiao. But now, having calmed down, Xue Zhileng felt that someone was setting him up. However, he did not plan to let Chu Qiao and He Xiao go just yet.

He would make them kneel for a day first. Under the scorching sun, Chu Qiao already had injuries. After kneeling for a long time, she became increasingly unable to support herself and finally fainted on the ground. Previously, Yuwen Yue had received a note from a stranger informing him of Chu Qiao's situation. Just as Chu Qiao fainted, Yuwen Yue finally arrived. He gently carried the extremely weak Chu Qiao into his tent.

While in a coma, Chu Qiao was tense and slept restlessly. She suddenly grabbed Yuwen Yue, who was about to release her. Seeing Chu Qiao holding onto his arm tightly, Yuwen Yue sat down on the edge of the bed. At the same time, Zhao Dongting, who had been closely monitoring all developments, reported this situation to the Emperor.

The Emperor recalled that he had previously suggested that Yuwen Yue escort Yan Xun back to Northern Yan, but Yan Xun had refused in every possible way. Now, it seemed that Yan Xun was subtly protecting Yuwen Yue. He seemed very afraid of Yuwen Yue leaving Xiaoqi Camp. Was it because without military authority, Yuwen Yue would not be able to help him? Chu Qiao woke up in the morning.

Before her mind was fully clear, she felt something unusual beside her. She released the arm she was holding and looked up, only to see that the elegant Mister sleeping soundly next to her was none other than Yuwen Yue. Chu Qiao screamed in horror, asking someone to tell her what was happening. Yuwen Yue was woken up by her. He frowned and sat up.

Just then, Yue Qi came in to report that Noble Consort Wei had learned of the Emperor's suspicions about Yuwen Yue and had specifically sent someone to warn Yuwen Yue. Yuwen Yue's expression instantly turned grim. He thought this was a conspiracy between Chu Qiao and Yan Xun, and that he had foolishly fallen into their trap. Yuwen Yue spoke vaguely and suddenly became cold towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao was confused, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Meanwhile, Chu Qiao had not returned all night, and Yan Xun was extremely worried. He ignored Zhong Yu's attempts to stop him and wanted to go look for her. Chu Qiao walked in at this moment. Seeing her safe and sound, Yan Xun's worried heart finally settled. Chu Qiao brought up the Xiuli Army. During her time in the army, she genuinely felt the Xiuli Army's loyalty to Northern Yan and their desire to return to Northern Yan.

She hoped Yan Xun could give them a chance. Since Chu Qiao had said so, Yan Xun agreed to meet with the Xiuli Army's Northern Yan generals that evening. Before that, Yan Xun warned Zhong Yu not to use Chu Qiao for anything anymore.

He told Zhong Yu not to think he didn't know that Zhong Yu had stolen He Xiao's warrant and given it to Xue Zhileng, then arranged for Chu Qiao to save He Xiao and become the Xiuli Army's benefactor. At the same time, Zhong Yu informed Yuwen Yue that Chu Qiao was in trouble, and once Yuwen Yue rescued Chu Qiao, it would inevitably arouse the Emperor's suspicion.

This multi-pronged plan was clever, but it caused suffering to Chu Qiao, which was what Yan Xun least wanted to see. At the appointed time, Yan Xun met with He Xiao, the deputy commander of the Xiuli Army, and Ge Qi and Wu Danyu, the commanders of the left and right. Yan Xun sternly reprimanded the Xiuli Army for not fighting alongside Northern Yan back then, but instead wearing the enemy's robes and joining the enemy's ranks.

However, since they also had their reasons back then and showed remorse, Yan Xun immediately forgave them and permitted them to return to Northern Yan with him. Walking back to the camp, He Xiao and the other two felt that things had gone a bit too smoothly. Yan Xun's family had been destroyed and he had experienced the tragedy of Jiuyou Platform back then. This was immense hatred; how could it be forgiven so easily?

Chu Qiao detected their distrust of Yan Xun in their words. He Xiao did not refute it; he had to be responsible for his Xiuli Army brothers as he would lead them back to Northern Yan, and Yan Xun's attitude was crucial. Chu Qiao told them that Yan Xun would not go back on his word, and with her there, the Xiuli Army would not suffer any losses. With that assurance, He Xiao felt much more relieved.

Lan Shuyi's son was secretly taken out of the palace by Yuwen Huai. Ever since he was rejected by Lan Shuyi that day, Yuwen Huai had held a grudge. He was the one who brought Lan Shuyi into the palace; now that she wanted to turn her back on him, there was no way. Taking her most cherished son out of the palace was to show her what he could do. What Lan Shuyi cared about most was her son.

She immediately sent someone to invite Yuwen Huai into the palace. Yuwen Huai was originally going to see her, but on the way, he received an imperial summons and went directly to see the Emperor. The Emperor summoned Yuwen Huai and Zhao Dongting to come together. He gave them a secret edict and told them it could only be opened on the day of the imperial princess's wedding. Yuwen Huai was once again heavily relied upon.

He no longer had to eagerly wait for Lan Shuyi to speak well of him. After leaving the main hall, he returned directly to Hongshan House. Lan Shuyi received the news and was anxious. She even planned to leave the palace secretly to see Yuwen Huai. But after all, she was only a Shuyi, and there was still Zhao Jieyu watching her closely. Any slight mistake would be seized upon.

Under the repeated objections of her personal maid, Lan Shuyi had no choice but to give up the idea of leaving the palace and wait to see how things unfolded. Xiao Ce was about to leave. Chu Qiao went to see him, and Xiao Ce looked delighted to see her. Chu Qiao brought up the ambush from a few days ago, saying she was worried about the capabilities of Xiao Ce's guards.

She took out a list and asked Xiao Ce to choose from it the people who would escort him away. The people on the list ranged from twelve to eighty years old, yet Chu Qiao praised them all as brave and mighty, which was truly difficult for her. Xiao Ce was naturally as shrewd as a fox. He knew whom Chu Qiao wanted him to choose: Yuan Che. Yuan Che was excellent in leading troops and fighting battles.

With him in Chang'an, it would only be harder for Yan Xun to escape. At the same time, Yuan Che, in Xiaoqi Camp, was analyzing the reason why Yuwen Yue was suddenly transferred into the palace for a position, suspecting that he had probably fallen into someone else's trap.
