Lu Lingfeng awoke to the faint sound of rain, discovering the Crown Prince was about to get out of the carriage, but saw him with a look of concern, gesturing that there was no need to adhere to formalities. Upon learning that Guo Zhuang had passed away, both the Crown Prince and Lu Lingfeng were immersed in grief. Lu Lingfeng was filled with self-reproach, believing that his falling for the villain's scheme was what led to Guo Zhuang's death.

Lu Tong stepped forward to comfort him, saying that capturing the culprit was not a task for a single day. When the Crown Prince heard that Lu Tong intended to request a mission to investigate the ghost market, he showed a look of reluctance. Lu Lingfeng resolutely knelt on one knee, vowing to thoroughly investigate this matter and seek justice for Guo Zhuang.

The Crown Prince was in a dilemma, but was eventually moved by Lu Lingfeng's determination, and nodded in agreement. Lu Lingfeng returned to Dali Temple and found his desk slightly messy. After inquiring, he learned that his senior fellow disciple Su Wuming had visited. The senior and junior disciples, reunited after a long time, should have been filled with joy, but this warm scene was interrupted by Fei Jishi's sudden appearance.

Lu Lingfeng was angry at Fei Jishi for concealing the matter of Guo Zhuang, but he also understood Fei Jishi's difficulties in his heart; though his anger was strong, it was hard to fully blame him. He insisted on investigating this matter thoroughly and requested Su Wuming to hand over the relevant case files to him.

Fei Jishi witnessed this scene from the side and couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that although the two of them held high positions, they still engaged in a battle of wits like children, which was far from what he had hoped for in his heart. At the same time, Cen Zhi spoke arrogantly in front of the Princess, not only slandering Lu Lingfeng but also threatening to take his life.

This act angered the Princess, who ordered him to slap himself in the courtyard as a punishment. Lu Lingfeng went out alone. The Princess failed to find him and was extremely anxious, worrying that his injuries had not healed and he would develop new ailments. Lu Lingfeng's anger was hard to quell; he intended to destroy the painting by Qin Xiaobai, which he believed was the source of all disaster.

Qin Xiaobai, however, protected it with his life, firmly refusing to let him. At a crucial moment, Su Wuming arrived in time to prevent the imminent conflict. Subsequently, the Princess also arrived in a hurry, and the scene became tense. Lu Lingfeng was emotional, firmly believing that the painting had brought countless disasters, and vowed to kill Qin Xiaobai to eliminate future troubles. However, under everyone's persuasion, he ultimately did not act.

Qin Xiaobai saw the Princess's arrival and mistakenly thought he had found protection, attempting to use the Princess's influence to provoke Lu Lingfeng. Unexpectedly, the Princess not only did not support him but instead ordered people to drag him out, making the scene awkward. Seeing this, Su Wuming cleverly winked at Lu Lingfeng, signaling him to bow to the Princess, and then quietly left to avoid getting involved in this turmoil.

Seeing that only Lu Lingfeng remained, the Princess rushed forward to inquire about his injuries, but was lightly pushed away by an unintentional movement from Lu Lingfeng. Although the Princess felt hurt inside, she still maintained a calm appearance on the surface, unwilling to show it. She then turned to admire Qin Xiaobai's painting, while Lu Lingfeng believed this painting was the root of numerous misfortunes and wanted to destroy it quickly.

The Princess paid no mind, firmly believing there were no ghosts or spirits in the world, and thought Lu Lingfeng's idea was too extreme. Lu Lingfeng, however, insisted that someone intended to use this painting to stir up trouble and disrupt the court. The Princess mistakenly thought that Lu Lingfeng's action was provoked by the Crown Prince, intending to damage the mother-son relationship.

Lu Lingfeng quickly knelt and pleaded guilty, clarifying that this matter was purely his personal action and had nothing to do with the Crown Prince. At this moment, Pei Xijun was quietly decocting medicine nearby, her heart filled with self-reproach and pain.

She knew well that Lu Lingfeng had fallen into an enemy's trap because of her painting, and the serious injuries he sustained made her deeply guilty, believing that these medicines could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Su Wuming, however, had a different view on Lu Lingfeng's intention to destroy the painting, believing that this act could both reveal the truth and stir up the court situation, killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Lingfeng relentlessly pursued the connection between Sun Wang's death and the mural, while Su Wuming hinted that some of these deceased might have intended to defect to the Crown Prince, adding new complexity to the case. Hearing this, Lu Lingfeng became even more determined to pursue the truth, but unexpectedly, he was overcome by sleeping medicine mixed by Fei Jishi into the incense, and fell unconscious.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a masked person was secretly plotting to refine a mysterious treasure for "dotting the eyes", but was in a predicament because Xu Zhiyun avoided meeting, and the plan was obstructed. Qin Xiaobai refused to dot the eyes. His junior apprentice suggested using youguang to entice viewers, but was scolded by him, and the junior apprentice felt resentment.

Su Wuming noticed that the painting shop owner had changed hands and sent Ying Tao to use seduction to extract information, thus learning the truth. Su Wuming showed goodwill towards Qin Xiaobai, wanting to borrow his youguang power. Qin Xiaobai initially refused, but Su Wuming praised him after learning of his aspirations. Su Wuming visited the ancient monitoring station to find Liang Zhi. Hearing about his whereabouts at Xiaoyun Lou, he sent Ying Tao to bring him back. Liang Zhi frankly admitted that due to poverty, he caught bookworms for others, indirectly explaining the reason for his trip to Xiaoyun Lou.
