As Qin faces a precarious political climate, a concerned elder summoned Generals Wei Ran and Sima Cuo, lamenting the King of Qin's reckless rule. The elder criticized the King for relying on villains and disregarding wise officials, noting how Gan Mao had curried favor by always agreeing with the King. He warned that the King's actions, such as occupying Yiyang and nearing Luoyang, put Daqin in peril.
Though feeling powerless himself, the elder stressed the ongoing duty to protect Daqin's security and acknowledged that he had no one else he could rely on except them. He pleaded with the generals to stay and rescue the people of Daqin, eventually kneeling to impress upon them the severity of the situation. Later, the King of Qin, eager to demonstrate Daqin's power, arrived in Luoyang, declaring his intention to move the revered Jiuding.
A local scholar explained the Jiuding's origins, stating that only those with divine power, not mortals, could lift such a sacred artifact. Dismissing this as a joke, the King proposed a bet: if anyone could lift the tripod, it would be his. He ordered his strongmen, Anyu, Wu, and Meng Ben, to try. Despite their valiant efforts, each failed, unable to budge the massive bronze cauldron.
Undeterred by warnings from his ministers, including Gan Mao, the King himself attempted to lift the Jiuding. With immense effort, he managed to raise it slightly, but the strain proved too great. He collapsed, severely injured, and tragically succumbed to his wounds shortly after, dying in Luoyang. News of the King's death reached Mi Shu, who was overcome with grief.
Blaming the strongmen who had encouraged the King's fatal challenge, she ordered the immediate execution of Anyu, Wu, and Meng Ben, along with the extermination of their nine generations, declaring that only by such severe punishment could Qin rid itself of ridicule. She then addressed the urgent matter of succession. Mi Shu recalled that King Wu had many brothers but never formally named an heir.
She then claimed that King Wu, during his lifetime, had expressed a desire for Gongzhuang, the son of the late Wei Chang, to inherit the throne should he die without an heir. Gan Mao, present at the discussion, acknowledged Mi Shu's truthfulness but raised concerns about Gongzhuang's perceived weakness. Wei Yan then entered, claiming to be nearly three months pregnant with King Wu's child.
This revelation complicated the succession, as Mi Shu acknowledged that the matter of a new king would have to be carefully considered and delayed due to the potential heir. However, Gan Mao argued against delaying the succession, pointing out that "heirs" specifically referred to male descendants and that a pregnancy carried inherent uncertainties. He warned that the vacant throne would tempt all the princes, potentially leading to civil war.
He identified Gong Zihua as the most powerful contender, backed by several other princes, Mi Shu, and Wei Yan herself. Gan Mao suggested finding a way to neutralize Gong Zihua. He also mentioned a long-standing rumor about an edict left by the former king, an edict he believed was real and which Mi Yue was safeguarding while in her secluded dwelling, even after Mi Shu had cut off her pension.
He proposed surrounding Mi Yue's residence to force her hand and retrieve the edict. Simultaneously, Mi Yue, confined and enduring hardships, confided in Yung, expressing her distress at Mi Shu's attempts to force her submission. Seeing Daqin's precarious situation, she urged Yung to arrange for her and her son, Ying Ji, to return swiftly. Upon her return and rise to regency, Mi Yue engaged in urgent diplomatic efforts.
Jin Shang, the envoy of Chu, reported back to the King of Chu with numerous jewels, delighting him. Jin Shang relayed Mi Yue's request for support from her maternal family. The King of Chu readily agreed to send Mi Rong to Qin and proposed a marriage alliance between a Qin princess and Gongzi Lan.
Jin Shang further suggested that the Chu Crown Prince be sent to Qin as a hostage to solidify their sincerity, to which the King of Chu replied that such a significant decision required careful thought. Meanwhile, Ying Ji overheard servants discussing the relationship between his mother, Mi Yue, and the Yiqu King.
Enraged, he confronted the Yiqu King with a sword, reminding him that Xianyang was Daqin territory and foreign officials must abide by its laws and seek permission to enter court. The Yiqu King, dismissive of the warning, was then stabbed in the arm by Ying Ji. Wounded, the Yiqu King demanded of Mi Yue if her son intended to kill him. Mi Yue attributed it to a misunderstanding and ordered Ying Ji to reflect in Chengming hall.
Later, assassins targeted Mi Yue, but the Yiqu King bravely intercepted an arrow meant for her, sustaining severe wounds and falling unconscious. Alarmed, Mi Yue had him brought to her bedchamber for care. Upon learning of this, Ying Ji was furious, drawing his sword and exclaiming that he should have killed the Yiqu King earlier, angered by his presence in Mi Yue's private chambers.
Mi Yue diligently attended to the Yiqu King, and he eventually recovered, with Mi Yue assuring him his injuries were not critical. Realizing that Mi Shu and Ying Hua were behind the assassination plot, Mi Yue ordered all imperial guards in Xianyang to assemble at Xuanshi hall. There, she publicly pledged to dismantle the old political system and ensure that all who violated Qin Law would face justice.
Inspired by her resolve, the soldiers, led by Meng Ao, eagerly offered to go to battle to atone for past grievances. As the political landscape solidified, Gan Mao fled to Yongcheng, seeking refuge with Mi Shu and Ying Hua. Mi Yue dispatched Wei Yan to Yongcheng to persuade Ying Hua to disband his rebellious forces and return allegiance to the court.
However, Ying Hua staunchly refused, stating that Mi Shu had promised him the throne and he had no other option but to march on Xianyang. Mi Yue then commanded General Sima Cuo to lead an expedition south to quell the unrest in Bashu. She also deployed Bai Qi and Wei Ran to intercept scattered rebel groups and secure the region within a hundred li of Xianyang.
