Hearing that Jiang Xuening planned to leave the capital shocked Xie Wei. He couldn’t hold back and asked who she was trying to avoid and why she didn’t want to stay. No one dared to provoke her now, and he was outside to protect her. If she wanted fun, he could call Xue Dingfei to accompany her. If she couldn’t stand Xue Shu, he had a hundred ways to deal with her.

He also had news about Yan Lin and Shen Zhiyi—why couldn’t she stay? Jiang Xuening said she had always acted recklessly, which made Xie Wei even more agitated. What was wrong with continuing to act recklessly? Controlling his emotions, Xie Wei grasped her shoulders and reminded her of her identity: daughter of the Minister of Revenue, companion to the princess, sister-in-law to Prince Linzi, and his own student—what was she afraid of?

Jiang Xuening broke free, and Xie Wei, frustrated, brought up Zhang Zhe, provoking her. She retorted that he had always disdained her, so why stop her now? Xie Wei admitted that things were different now—he had changed. He begged Jiang Xuening not to leave. They were the same kind of people. There was no true freedom in the world. As long as the heart was attached, even fleeing to the ends of the earth would be futile.

Jiang Xuening bit Xie Wei and fled. He fell ill upon returning, and the illness had no cure. Lü Xian had to knock him out. Jiang Xuening dreamed again of how, in the past life, she had seduced Xie Wei to seek protection—how much she had resembled Xue Shu then. That path could never end well. Again and again, Jiang Xuening told herself Xie Wei had loathed her in the past and could never love her.

He was a traitor, a rebel, incapable of sincere feelings. He merely feared she would escape his control and leak his secrets. Jiang Xuening begged her father to let her go. Though furious and thinking it was because of Xie Wei, he finally agreed. As Xie Wei lay gravely ill, Lü Xian worried about him going to Huangzhou. At this time, Jiang Xuening returned the qin as a parting gift.

To save Xie Wei, Lü Xian took the qin to the Jiang household and insisted it had nothing to do with Xie Wei. He told Jiang Xuening a story—Xie Wei had once been a man of virtue. Lü Xian had passed the imperial exam but still served under Xie Wei, because Xie Wei was just a man struggling desperately against fate.

Lü Xian would soon go to Huangzhou, but Xie Wei was determined to have a final showdown with the Xue family. Lü Xian asked Jiang Xuening to keep an eye on him. As soon as Xie Wei woke up, the palace summoned him. He had to take the Jinshi powder to stay awake. The envoy escorting the bride was executed. Shen Zhiyi had also been taken.

Xie Wei volunteered to travel north under the pretense of peace talks, taking the Yan army to probe Dayue’s strength. The Emperor agreed. After persuading Jiang Xuening, Lü Xian returned to persuade Xie Wei: if he truly cared for her, don’t let her run. Jiang Xuening, troubled and uncertain, was surprised when Xie Wei suddenly visited. Her father refused to see him, but Jiang Xuening had something to ask.

Xie Wei apologized for what happened and brought news of Shen Zhiyi. When Jiang Xuening heard of Shen Zhiyi’s peril, she was furious. If war broke out, Shen Zhiyi would surely die. Upon hearing that Xie Wei had decided to rescue her, Jiang Xuening insisted on going too. Xie Wei agreed, but this time she had to obey him completely—and tell nothing to her father.
