Rong Qi appeared before Rong Le, revealing that the poison inside her was the Destined Poison and that only he could remove it. He pressed her to come with him, asserting it was the sole way for both her and her child to survive. Rong Qi emphasized her desire for her child to be born healthy and not lose its mother, urging her to trust him.

After careful consideration, unwilling for her child to be born motherless or to lose them, Rong Le finally resolved to leave with Rong Qi. Meanwhile, Xiang Ying reported to Wu You that Consort Rong Le had vanished. He explained that the guards watching her had been drugged, and she was nowhere to be found upon their awakening. Xiang Ying detailed that checkpoints were established, but he feared that if she had crossed Qingzhou's border, finding her would be incredibly difficult.

Wu You, understanding Rong Le's intelligence, reasoned that if she had been forced, she would have left a sign. He concluded that her departure must have been voluntary, possibly to avoid him. Concerned for Rong Le's well-being, especially with her illness, Xiang Ying offered to seek assistance from Prince Regent Wuchou in Zhongshan. Wu You agreed, entrusting him with a letter for Wuchou. At the same time, Hen Xiang was preparing to depart.

Xiang Ying tried to persuade her to stay or to accompany him to Zhongshan. Hen Xiang acknowledged his constant protection and care since they were children but insisted she needed to leave his shelter to live her own life and stop making him sacrifice for her. Though disappointed, Xiang Ying reluctantly accepted her decision, agreeing that they would split up for now and reunite when fate allowed. Rong Qi led Rong Le to a secluded house in a mountain village.

Rong Le expressed her doubt, questioning if this was truly the place he intended to bring her, and accused him of poisoning her and lying about their relationship to acquire "The Book of Mountains and Rivers," which she believed was his true objective. Rong Qi urged her to calm herself for the sake of her child. Rong Le fiercely warned him against harming her child, vowing to withhold any information about the book if he did.

Rong Qi then suggested that she could transfer the Destined Poison onto her child, viewing it as a second chance given by fate, but Rong Le adamantly refused, declaring she would never sacrifice her child's life for her own. Rong Qi acknowledged her unwavering determination. Noticing Rong Qi's persistent cough, Rong Le offered to find a doctor, but he declined, insisting he was fine and instead suggested they tour the village.

As they walked, villagers respectfully greeted Rong Qi as "Sir," and an older woman, Mrs. Yu, welcomed them, addressing Rong Le as "Madam." Mrs. Yu commented that Rong Le looked even more beautiful after years and inquired if they were staying for good, also congratulating them on their first child after many years of marriage. Rong Le was clearly bewildered by these interactions.

Rong Qi subtly gave Mrs. Yu money and asked her to tell anyone who inquired that they were distant relatives seeking help, wishing to keep their presence discreet from his parents. Rong Le questioned why he called her "Man'er" and whether they had been here before. Rong Qi instructed her to simply play her role and remember that in this village, her name was "Man'er."

He reiterated his promise to cure her, but only if she fulfilled one wish—the only wish in his entire life that was truly his own. He explained they would live a normal life there for five to six months until the child was born and she was cured, after which she would be free.

Rong Le confessed that she did not have five to six months to spare, as her sole wish was to personally deliver her child into Wu You’s hands before she died, instructing him to cherish their child with all his heart. Rong Qi, with a heavy heart, promised she would live and that he would return the time she felt she had lost. He vowed to fulfill her desire if she was certain Wu You was her true happiness.

One day, while Rong Le was climbing a tree to pick greengages, which Rong Qi claimed were once her favorite, she slipped and fell. Fortunately, Rong Qi caught her, saving her from harm. He reminded her of her promise to fulfill his requests for the next six months. Afterward, they returned home and began brewing greengage wine, a process Rong Qi claimed they had done together before.

They made a pact: six months later, upon drinking the wine, Rong Qi would allow her to leave, settling their bond. Rong Qi urged her to live each day as if it were her last, pursuing her wishes without regret, while he promised to grant them during their stay. Rong Qi reflected on what a normal life together might have been, suggesting simple happiness could have been theirs.

Rong Le, however, asserted that she had experienced enough happiness and would have no regrets even if her life were to end now. Meanwhile, Empress Dowager Fu Yuan, citing Rong Qi's severe illness, announced that she would assume imperial authority and oversee all state affairs. Privately, she instructed her guards to intensify their search for Rong Qi and Rong Le, convinced that they could not remain hidden indefinitely.

During this tranquil period, Rong Le and Rong Qi lived a quiet, ordinary life. Rong Le increasingly found their interactions and surroundings profoundly familiar. She recalled seeing similar wind chimes in the Qin family mansion and liking their sound, realizing they were also present in the palace teahouse and in their current home. As they hung wind chimes together, she found herself spontaneously addressing Rong Qi as "Brother Qi." Despite her growing suspicions, she resisted believing the implications.

The peaceful days were cut short when Rong Qi called out to "Man'er" for dinner several times without a response. Discovering she had fainted, he swiftly took a knife, cut his hand, and gave her his blood to drink. Xiang Ying reached Zhongshan and relayed news of Rong Le’s disappearance to Wuchou, delivering Wu You’s letter. He suggested investigating whether Rong Qi had brought Rong Le into Northern Lin, as some traces pointed in that direction.

Wuchou agreed and, in turn, entrusted Xiang Ying with a letter for Wu You, informing him of their father, Zongzheng Yunhe’s, disappearance and all the clues he had found so far. Xiang Ying, puzzled by their indirect communication, asked why Wuchou and Wu You, now that they were reconciled, did not meet face-to-face to discuss these matters. Wuchou somberly explained that for years he had mistaken a demon for his mother and committed countless sins.

He felt compelled to find Empress Dowager Fu Yuan himself to avenge his birth mother and locate their father, viewing it as an act of repentance. Meanwhile, news reached Wu You that thirty thousand Wei soldiers were marching directly towards Northern Lin's border. The current strength of Northern Lin's army was insufficient to repel such an invasion.

Despite reports suggesting Rong Qi and Rong Le might actually be in Western Qi, where the Hidden Ones were searching, Wu You resolved to personally lead his army to aid Wuchou. He declared that both from the standpoint of duty, to save Northern Lin's people from war, and kinship, to support his twin brother, he could not abandon them. He immediately ordered his troops to prepare to march north.

The peaceful months continued, and Rong Le and Rong Qi enjoyed their quiet life in the village. Rong Le’s pregnancy advanced, and the greengage wine they had brewed was finally ready. Rong Qi acknowledged the wine's familiar scent and taste, marking their toast as a final farewell. He inwardly counted the days, knowing their agreed separation was drawing near. Meanwhile, Wu You reflected on his realized ambition of uniting the north and south.

He shared concerns that the Emperor of Qi was ill and Empress Dowager Fu Yuan had seized the throne, with no sign of Rong Qi, making him fear for his father, Rong Qi, and Rong Le's whereabouts. Wuchou revealed a crucial piece of information: an old handmaiden had told him that their father, Zongzheng Yunhe, had once administered the Destined Poison to Fu Yuan.

He believed that locating their father might lead to a cure for Rong Le’s poison, ensuring her survival, which was his sole wish. Following this, Wuchou informed Wu You of his decision to withdraw from the Imperial Court, entrusting him with the responsibility of governing the vast land and its people.

One day, as Rong Le was about to share a secret she had uncovered from "The Book of Mountains and Rivers" with Rong Qi, she inadvertently addressed him as "Brother Qi." Rong Qi responded naturally, causing Rong Le to ponder why she used that name and if they had a shared past. She also noticed a carved statue Rong Qi had made, though he downplayed its origin, happy she liked it. Moments later, she was suddenly overcome by labor pains.

Rong Qi immediately summoned Mrs. Yu to assist with the delivery. Rong Le, weak and exhausted, struggled to push. Rong Qi urged her to persevere, reminding her of the child and assuring her that his men had informed Wu You, who was now on his way. Against all odds, Rong Le successfully delivered a baby boy.

She wanted to hold her newborn, but Rong Qi quickly entrusted the infant to Mrs. Yu for cleaning, insisting Rong Le prioritize her rest, promising her ample time with the child later. Mrs. Yu complimented Rong Qi on his thoughtfulness. Rong Le, however, questioned why Wu You had not yet arrived, given Rong Qi’s assurances. Suddenly, sounds of commotion erupted outside the door, suggesting someone was attempting to seize the child.

Rong Le, alarmed, tried to rise, but Rong Qi comforted her, telling her to lie down while he investigated. Upon opening the door, Rong Qi found himself face to face with Empress Dowager Fu Yuan.
