> Resumos de Unveil: Jadewind
Li Peiyi returns to the County Princess Manor to find Chen Luo and several servants planting a plum tree. Chen Luo claims he wants to leave a spark of life within the manor, hoping the tree will eventually grow tall enough to offer her shelter from the wind and rain. Peiyi remains skeptical, noting that no one uses plum trees for such protection.
Chen Luo argues that even if it cannot block the storm, its blossoms provide a splash of blood-red color against the lifeless winter. Peiyi confronts him directly, asking if he murdered Yu Shishun’s family and the others just for a moment’s satisfaction.
When Chen Luo feigns ignorance, Peiyi presents the mounting evidence: the iron caltrop found in the calendar official (Li Sheng), the unique blade marks on the servants, and the fact that the "Celestial Lord" vanished near her own manor. She has deduced that Yu Shishun was the apprentice who slowed her family’s water clock fifteen years ago, leading to her father's downfall. Finally, she reveals a portrait drawn by the young survivor, Yu Lan'er.
Because the child viewed the killer from a low angle, the perspective was unique, and Peiyi recognized her childhood companion, "Uncle Luo," instantly. Faced with the portrait, Chen Luo admits to the killings, claiming they were a means of avenging the Prince of Duan and his fallen comrades. He admits to spreading the nursery rhyme to frame Consort Shu, believing the Right Chancellor only maintains power because of her influence over the Emperor.
Peiyi is horrified, reminding him that Consort Shu was the one who raised and protected her in the palace. She vows to prevent anyone from harming the Consort. Chen Luo remains steadfast, arguing that the Right Chancellor will never fall as long as the Consort remains in favor. He tells Peiyi that if the law and the Emperor cannot provide justice, he will take it by his own means.
He leaves her with a chilling choice: either turn him in or embrace her identity as the daughter of the Prince of Duan to seek blood for blood. Upon returning to the Palace Investigation Bureau, Peiyi informs Xiao Huaijin and Gu Lingzhou that she has only been distributing the portrait and hasn't found the suspect. However, Xiao Huaijin notices her somber mood and suspects she is hiding the truth.
The following day, during a dragon dance rehearsal, the dragon lantern’s eyes appear to weep blood. Peiyi investigates and determines that the "blood" is actually a mixture of red paste and oil hidden in grooves. As the dragon moves, the heat causes the paste to melt and soak through the thin paper. She learns that the dragon head was crafted by Lang Maochun, a master artisan from Puzhou personally chosen by the Emperor.
Peiyi and Xiao Huaijin visit the Palace Workshop Service, where Lang Maochun shows them a complex revolving lantern he made for the Emperor. He insists he would never fake an evil omen, as it would be treasonous. During their conversation, a fire suddenly breaks out, fueled by tung oil that had been moved outside a window on Peiyi’s earlier advice.
In the chaos, a hidden mechanism is triggered, and Lang Maochun is killed by a barrage of sharp bamboo ribs (the lantern's frame) before the flames can reach him. Peiyi notices a shadow fleeing and chases the suspect toward Chuyang Gate, but the trail vanishes abruptly. Xiao Huaijin later realizes that the "Phoenix Pecking Dragon" pattern revealed by the fire was a deliberate distraction, and he begins to suspect that Peiyi may have intentionally let the shadow escape.
With the sacrificial ceremony only three days away, the Emperor is briefed on the nursery rhyme. He notes that the rhyme’s specific phrasing (ordering the Five Elements as Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal) originates from Puzhou, Consort Shu’s hometown. Although Eunuch Guo attempts to defend her, the Emperor remains suspicious, particularly of the Right Chancellor, Cui Minzhong, who continues to receive disciples despite being under house arrest.
Feeling the walls closing in, the Right Chancellor decides to call upon Lv Chongshan of the Andong Protectorate to prepare for a counter-strike. Meanwhile, Peiyi visits Consort Shu and urges her to find an excuse to skip the upcoming festivities, fearing she is the killer’s true target. Consort Shu refuses, explaining that any attempt to hide would only fuel the Emperor’s suspicion. She believes that performing her duties perfectly is her only means of survival.
Back at the bureau, Gu Lingzhou traces the nursery rhyme to a butcher’s daughter who was taught the song by a man matching the portrait of the "Celestial Lord." Xiao Huaijin analyzes the Five Elements pattern of the murders: the latest case represented "Wood" (East/Morning). Since "Metal" (West) is the final element, he concludes the killer will strike during the evening banquet at the Grand Festival. Elsewhere, Chen Luo meets with a mysterious "Young Master" to discuss their progress.
They believe the bait has been taken, as the Right Chancellor is growing desperate. They prepare for a final move to topple the Cui clan and finally avenge the Jianning Iron Army.
