During a military campaign, Prince Fanyang discovered His Majesty gravely injured and immediately summoned an imperial physician. His Majesty, seeing Lin Shen feigning concern, seethed with anger but was unable to expose him due to a potent poison. The imperial physician examined His Majesty and inserted a silver needle into his head, which caused His Majesty to vomit a large amount of blood and pass out.
The physician stated that His Majesty was already weak, had endured a harsh journey, and was unsuitable for war, further compounded by the assassination attempt. Lin Shen, impersonating General Fu Chou, furiously denounced the physician as useless and ordered his execution. Prince Fanyang demanded to know the assassin's identity. A soldier falsely claimed His Majesty had called out to Wuyou. Prince Fanyang dismissed this as nonsense, refusing to believe Prince Li would commit such an act.
However, another gravely wounded soldier returned, asserting he had seen Prince Li Zongzheng Wuyou's face after pulling off his mask during their struggle. This stunning revelation caused a stir among the assembled generals. Prince Fanyang vehemently rejected the accusation, pointing out the inconsistencies in the soldier's account. Seeing an opportunity, Lin Shen, still disguised as Fu Chou, accused Prince Fanyang and the two generals of colluding with Wuyou in the assassination.
As soldiers from both sides prepared for a confrontation, Lin Shen produced His Majesty's Tiger Emblem, claiming it commanded the army. General Wei expressed doubt, noting His Majesty's distrust of Fu Chou and questioned why the Tiger Emblem would be given to him. Lin Shen explained that His Majesty had entrusted him with it before the campaign, fearing an uprising. He then used the emblem to order the arrest of Prince Fanyang, General Wei, and General Li.
As the two factions clashed, Prince Fanyang attempted to attack Lin Shen but was injured, realizing that the man before him was an imposter, not the true Fu Chou, who would never so carelessly sacrifice his soldiers. Lin Shen, seeing Prince Fanyang's defiance, offered a hefty reward and promotions for their heads. The two loyal generals valiantly protected Prince Fanyang, allowing him to escape on horseback amidst the chaos, though Lin Shen managed to shoot an arrow into his back.
Lin Shen then commanded his forces to pursue Prince Fanyang and prepare to transport His Majesty back to the capital, intending to frame Wuyou for seizing the throne. In the General's Manor, the real Fu Chou received a dispatch confirming the success of the mutiny and, to his shock, the death of His Majesty.
A guard explained that Rong Le's unexpected appearance at the army base, revealing Fu Chou's presence in the capital, had forced Lin Shen's hand and accelerated their plans. Enraged, Fu Chou overturned a table and immediately ordered his men to scour every corner from the army base to the southern border to find Wuyou and Rong Le, emphasizing that they must not be allowed to meet.
Before dismissing his subordinate, Fu Chou added a crucial directive: Rong Le must not be harmed. Meanwhile, Captain Xiang Cheng, the captain of the Royal Guard, found himself abducted and bound in a dark chamber. He recognized his captor as Fu Chou and demanded to know why Fu Chou was in the capital and who had accompanied His Majesty to war. Fu Chou calmly stated that His Majesty was "no longer here."
Infuriated by the implication of regicide, Xiang Cheng prepared to attack, but Fu Chou revealed his true identity, asserting that Xiang Cheng had already "killed" him once for His Majesty sixteen years ago. Xiang Cheng fell silent, remembering the five years he had relentlessly pursued Fu Chou, then a mere child, across the land, a mission he now admitted was the most disgraceful act of his life.
Despite his personal regret, he maintained that he was merely following His Majesty's orders, loyal to the very end. Fu Chou, acknowledging Xiang Cheng's unwavering loyalty despite their bitter past, ordered his guards to grant the captain a swift end. In the capital, the Crown Prince indulged in nightly revelries after His Majesty's departure.
The Empress urged the Crown Princess to advise him, but the Crown Prince, resentful, publicly slapped his consort and declared that the throne would soon be his, leaving the Empress fuming but helpless. Back in his private chambers, the Crown Prince fumed over Fu Chou's lack of action. When Fu Chou suddenly appeared, the Crown Prince's demeanor instantly shifted to a fawning pretense of deference. He eagerly pressed Fu Chou for his plans.
Fu Chou then delivered the news: Wuyou, bearing a grudge from his banishment, had infiltrated the army base to assassinate His Majesty, leaving him gravely wounded and on his way back to the capital. The Crown Prince, unsettled by the news and intuiting the Emperor was truly dead, struggled to believe Wuyou capable of such an act. Fu Chou ordered the Crown Prince to suppress the news of His Majesty's death to prevent it from reaching enemy nations.
He then revealed that he had "taken care of" Captain Xiang Cheng and instructed the Crown Prince to promote the vice-captain, Zhao Yisheng, to the vacant position, effectively bringing the Royal Guard under their control. When the Crown Prince suggested other, more suitable candidates for the captaincy, Fu Chou, weary of his resistance, declared that his word was final. Enraged by Fu Chou's arrogance, the Crown Prince commanded his personal guards, members of the Creed of Vengeance, to arrest him.
To his horror, they addressed Fu Chou as "Young Master," revealing the depth of the deception. The Crown Prince, realizing he had been a pawn all along, lunged at Fu Chou. Fu Chou coldly reminded him that without his backing, the Royal Guard, now leaderless, would be no match for the southern border army, much less the Hidden Ones. He stressed that without his assistance, the Crown Prince would face certain death.
Reeling from the truth, the Crown Prince sat on the ground, stunned. Hen Xiang approached, and he desperately seized her hand, asking if Fu Chou intended to kill him. Hen Xiang, shedding her usual delicate facade, smiled chillingly and warned him that if he ever harbored thoughts of harming Fu Chou again, she would kill him first.
She further revealed that the "love" he believed they shared was merely a hallucination induced by a "Love Potion" administered by the Creed of Vengeance. From the very beginning, she had felt nothing but disgust for him, confessing that every touch made her want to sever his fingers. She scornfully dismissed him as a perverted, useless, and immoral man, stating that without their Young Master, he would have no right to vie for the throne against Zongzheng Wuyou.
She concluded by reminding him that the palace was now filled with members of the Creed of Vengeance and that his best course of action was to cooperate in defeating Wuyou to secure his position. Meanwhile, a guard reported to Fu Chou that Rong Le's trail had been found near Qingtong Pass. Fu Chou immediately ordered his horse prepared and set off to pursue her himself.
Rong Le, having been chased, managed to hide from a large group of pursuers but was eventually intercepted by Lin Shen, once again disguised as Fu Chou. She confronted him with a dagger, demanding to know his true identity and why he had harmed His Majesty. Lin Shen, realizing she knew he had poisoned His Majesty and had likely been in the tent during the attack, quickly subdued her, intending to eliminate her as a witness.
However, the real Fu Chou arrived just in time to stop him. Lin Shen informed Fu Chou that Rong Le was now privy to their secret, but Fu Chou remained resolute in protecting her. Lin Shen sternly reminded him of their shared mission, which only fueled Fu Chou's anger. Fu Chou demanded to know why Lin Shen had unilaterally assassinated His Majesty when he was merely tasked with controlling the army.
Lin Shen scoffed, suggesting Fu Chou still harbored filial affection for His Majesty, who had never acknowledged him as a son. Fu Chou clarified that he had intended to keep His Majesty alive for strategic reasons, but Lin Shen countered that Rong Le had ruined his original plan, leaving him no choice. He callously added that His Majesty's death allowed him to apologize to Fu Chou's mother, Fu Yuan, in the afterlife. This ignited Fu Chou's fury further.
He asserted that revenge was his alone, and if His Majesty were to die, it should have been by his hand. He warned Lin Shen that despite being the founder of the Creed of Vengeance, all the military forces in the country were ultimately under Fu Chou's command. If Lin Shen dared to oppose him again, Fu Chou would ensure his demise.
At morning court, Wu Yu and the Minister of Revenue attempted to discuss military provisions, but the Crown Prince, visibly distracted, dismissed them, claiming illness and postponing the discussion. At that moment, an urgent military report arrived, announcing that Wuyou had colluded with generals and assassinated His Majesty. Wu Yu found the news absurd, refusing to believe His Majesty could be so easily deceived. He argued fiercely with the Crown Prince, who, under Wu Yu's accusatory gaze, became visibly uneasy.
Wu Yu then rushed to Captain Xiang Cheng's residence, only to learn that the captain had been missing since the previous night. Desperate to inform Wuyou, Wu Yu hurried home, intending to leave the capital for the southern border. However, Xiao Sha revealed that all city gates were heavily guarded, making escape impossible. Moments later, Zhao Yisheng arrived with soldiers, declaring the Crown Prince's order to place Wu Yu and his household under house arrest due to Wuyou's alleged assassination.
Wu Yu confronted Zhao Yisheng, asserting his authority as someone His Majesty had entrusted with oversight of the Royal Guard, but Zhao Yisheng defiantly stated that Captain Xiang Cheng had been found dead outside the city and was last seen with Wu Yu, making the house arrest a protective measure by the Crown Prince. Wu Yu dismissed this as a baseless accusation, vowing to leave.
Xiao Sha intervened, urging Wu Yu to remain calm, as the capital was now under the Crown Prince's control, and any direct confrontation would be futile. She suggested that Wuyou would likely return upon hearing the news, and Wu Yu could then collaborate with him from within the city. Zhao Yisheng agreed to allow medicine for Princess Rong Le to be delivered to the General's Manor, provided no messages were sent to Wuyou.
Wu Yu, deducing that Zhao Yisheng was acting under Fu Chou's orders, curtly dismissed him. Later, Xiao Sha confided in Wu Yu that she had gone to Western Qi to see its Emperor and obtain medicine but failed. On her return, she learned Rong Le was missing and then taken to the General's Manor, raising her concern. Wu Yu entrusted his sister and Ling Yue's safety to Xiao Sha, asking her not to worry Rong Le with the recent events.
