Late at night, Zhuge Yue quietly entered the room where Chu Qiao was staying. Heartbroken by the wounds on her face, he gently applied a soothing ointment and placed the remaining medicine by her pillow. As he prepared to leave, he stopped when he heard her murmur that she was thirsty. He silently poured a cup of water and handed it to her.
Chu Qiao, whose vision had not yet returned, found the visitor's silence strange, noting that if it were the talkative Li Ce, he would not be so quiet. The next morning, a physician examined the medicine and identified it as "Huotu Water," a rare substance used to treat eye injuries. He noted that the dose was exactly for one day and that her sight could be restored if used for seven consecutive days.
Having lived in Qingshan Court, Chu Qiao knew this specific formula was a secret of the Zhuge family. When she questioned Li Ce about whether he had visited her room the previous night, his denial confirmed her suspicion: the visitor was definitely Zhuge Yue. Li Ce, suspicious himself, kept watch that night and intercepted Zhuge Yue in the shadows.
He marveled at the General’s survival, noting that despite being trapped under a frozen lake and hunted by the Black Eagle Army for three months, Zhuge Yue was still alive. Li Ce urged him to see Chu Qiao openly, but Zhuge Yue refused. He revealed that to save Chu Qiao, he had consumed a poison from the King of the Western Regions that was now taking a toll on his body.
Fearing he did not have long to live, he chose to remain hidden rather than burden her with more grief. Meanwhile, Yan Bei fell into deeper chaos. With Yan Xun still unconscious, Cheng Yuan continued to suppress all news, leading tribal leaders to believe the King would never wake. Katuo, the leader of the Jinhui Tribe, seized the opportunity to incite a rebellion, denouncing the Yan family and leading his men toward the Yan Bei camp.
In response, General Huan, a relative of the Yan house, invoked her tribe’s loyalty and her military prestige to take command of the armies, hoping to prevent a total civil war. At the same time, Yan Xun’s guards were ordered to escort Princess Chun'er back to the Great Yong for her safety. By the sixth day of her treatment, Chu Qiao’s vision began to improve, allowing her to see vague shapes.
Li Ce pressured her to leave for Biantang, arguing that Yan Bei was no longer safe and that the world believed Zhuge Yue had died at the frozen lake. Desperate to keep her safe, Li Ce even plotted with his subordinate, Song Cheng, to "kidnap" her if necessary, using silk ropes and fine incense to knock her out gently while making sure to bring her favorite snacks for the journey. That night, Zhuge Yue returned once more.
Sensing a familiar footstep, Chu Qiao rushed to the door and caught hold of his sleeve. She desperately asked who he was, wondering if he was Yue Qi and if he had been rendered mute by injuries at the lake. Zhuge Yue remained silent. Instead of speaking, he took her hand and wrote "Yue Qi" in her palm, followed by the message that Zhuge Yue was dead.
Refusing to believe it, Chu Qiao remembered that Zhuge Yue had a distinct crescent-shaped scar on his left hand. She grabbed his hand to confirm his identity, but to her horror, his palm was perfectly smooth. She did not know that the poison he had taken had the side effect of healing all old scars. Overwhelmed by this "proof" that the man before her was not Zhuge Yue, Chu Qiao collapsed in tears, finally accepting that he was gone.
With her last hope extinguished, Chu Qiao agreed to accompany Li Ce to Biantang. During their journey, they passed through a town celebrating a lantern festival. Li Ce tried to cheer her up, insisting that someone as cunning as Zhuge Yue couldn't possibly die so easily and was likely just hiding to keep her out of danger. At the festival, Chu Qiao saw a rabbit lantern that reminded her of the one Zhuge Yue had once bought for her. Unknown to her, Zhuge Yue was watching from a distance, protecting her one last time as she moved toward a new life.
