After their emotional outburst, Wu You urged Rong Le to let go of their unpleasant past. He declared that he didn't care if she had lied about her identity, approached him with hidden motives, or what had transpired between her and Fu Chou. He reiterated his promise that her future was his future. Rong Le, however, remained pessimistic, lamenting that there was no future for them as she and Fu Chou had already completed their wedding ceremony.

Having been deceived repeatedly, she stated she could no longer trust him. Believing their divergent backgrounds and lack of honesty made their union impossible from the start, she suggested they part ways and become strangers, deeming it better than a life filled with distrust and pain. Wu You questioned how she could so easily let go if she truly loved him, making a final plea for her to keep him company for just three more days.

His words deeply affected her, but Rong Le ultimately turned away, tears streaming down her face. Three days later, the mausoleum doors opened. As Rong Le emerged, Wu You promised that he would treat her with sincerity for the rest of his life and never abandon her. His words brought fresh tears to her eyes, but she did not stop. Outside, the Emperor and General Fu were waiting.

The Emperor, furious, slapped Rong Le and confronted her, demanding to know why she had allowed a fake princess to impersonate her and choose a husband. He accused her of trying to alienate Prince Li and General Fu and disrupting the Imperial Court, ordering her immediate arrest. General Fu stepped forward, pleading with the Emperor to reconsider, arguing that imprisoning the Princess of Western Qi so soon after their alliance would be detrimental to Northern Lin.

Just then, Wu You emerged from the mausoleum. He confessed that he alone was responsible for the events, having turned down the engagement and taken the bride, and insisted that General Fu was innocent. He then earnestly asked his father to let his mother rest in peace. Conceding, the Emperor ended the matter and forbade anyone from mentioning it again. Fu Chou then escorted Rong Le away.

Back at the General's manor, Fu Chou urged Rong Le to complete the wedlock drink ceremony. Rong Le, however, declared that they would never be a true married couple and poured the drink onto the ground. Fu Chou dismissed the servants to speak with her privately. He remarked that Wu You's act of keeping her in his mother's mausoleum for three days proved his deep love for her.

Fu Chou stated he could overlook her past with Wu You, but reminded her that as the wife of General Fu, she must keep any feelings for another man hidden. Rong Le countered that their marriage was merely a deal, but Fu Chou insisted it was not child's play.

He confessed he married her not only for her title, but because she seemed to understand the song he played at their first meeting, making him desire something for himself for the first time. Rong Le dismissed this, saying she had spoken nonsense and could never understand him. Believing her anger stemmed from feeling tricked, Fu Chou asked for her trust, promising to treat her well.

When she retorted that he should divorce her, he refused, proposing a one-year period for him to win her over. He promised that if, after a year, she still refused to accept him, he would end the marriage and grant her freedom. Meanwhile, Wu Yu and Zhao Yun were worried about Wu You, who had confined himself in the mausoleum.

Suddenly, Captain Xiang arrived to arrest Wu Yu, informing him that he was accused of allowing his men to kill over a dozen people while searching for a girl. Wu Yu insisted Zhao Yun not bother Wu You, but she rushed to the mausoleum. Seeing Wu You’s haggard state, she pleaded with him to save Wu Yu. Moved by her plea, Wu You emerged.

In the palace, Wu You admitted to the Emperor that he had given the order to search for the girl and that Wu Yu was only following his command. He took full responsibility, offering to relinquish all his titles and be exiled. The Emperor, seeing his determination, stripped him of his princely title and ordered him to the south to manage the land. However, an official, Sir Yang, argued that the loss of life could not be so lightly dismissed.

The Emperor then sentenced Wu You to fifty beatings. Following this, the Emperor released the Crown Prince from house arrest to assist with national affairs. Officer Sun Jizhou then requested permission to accompany Wu You to the south and retire to his hometown of Qingzhou, which the Emperor granted. After the court session, the Crown Prince and General Fu exchanged congratulations. Fu Chou privately celebrated that Wu You was gone and Northern Lin would soon be his.

The Crown Prince then turned to his new favorite, Henxiang. He offered her the title of Fair Consort, but she demurred. Instead, she asked him to invite his close officers to her upcoming birthday party, explaining that she wanted the world to know she belonged to him, so that even General Fu, who had gifted her, would see her not as a mere songstress but as the Crown Prince's treasured woman.

A joyful Sun Jizhou informed his daughter, Ya Li, that they were returning to Qingzhou for her marriage to Wu You. Ya Li knelt in protest, stating she knew of Wu You's public entanglement with Princess Rong Le and did not wish to marry him. Sun Jizhou dismissed her concerns, explaining the Emperor's punishment was a temporary measure and Wu You would soon be recalled, making the marriage a promising path for their family's honor.

He then sent word to Qingzhou to prepare a grand welcome for Wu You. Later, General Fu received a letter purportedly from Sun Jizhou, inviting him to the Flying Swan Tavern. Suspicious, he went anyway and found Ya Li waiting for him. She apologized for using her father's name and confessed that she did not want to go to Qingzhou, wishing instead to stay by his side.

She revealed that she had fallen deeply in love with him since they met in the south, secretly sewing a fragrance pouch each month to harbor her feelings, and had finally found the courage to confess.
