Although Xiao Chong had been poisoned for more than twenty years, Hua Jin was confident in curing him. Xiao Se agreed to let Hua Jin go to Lord Bai's manor and instructed her to disclose that it was under his direction. Meanwhile, Ji Xue broke into Prince Yong’an’s residence at night, but was blocked by Sikong Qianluo. The two fought and revealed their identities in the process.

Mu Chunfeng fell in love with Ji Xue at first sight, but unfortunately, Ji Xue was cold and aloof. Her purpose this time was to inform Xiao Se of Wu Xin’s whereabouts. That night, Xiao Se went to Hongfu Inn to meet Wu Xin, checked his pulse, and found that he had been poisoned. He also guessed that Wu Xin had entered the palace to meet the Declared Consort.

Wu Xin neither confirmed nor denied it, but the doubts buried in his heart for years were finally about to be resolved. Xiao Se revealed the Declared Consort’s hardships and promised to help him enter the palace again. However, Xiao Se alone wasn’t enough to help Wu Xin. He privately sought out Jin Xian and invited her to assist, offering her “freedom” as the condition.

Years ago, Shen Jingzhou of the Snowstorm Sword longed for the martial world; he was never meant to be trapped in Tianqi City, much less to guard the imperial tomb in the future. So he promised that Jin Xian would one day return to the martial world and reclaim her true identity as Shen Jingzhou. Inside Lord Chi’s manor, a secret chamber was constructed, where a beautiful assassin—Yue Ji, who had vanished for a long time—was imprisoned.

During this period, Yue Ji endured inhumane torture, yet still clung to her sanity. Xiao Yu deemed her a qualified and excellent assassin, but compared to Wu Xin, she was far inferior. Soon after, with the arrangement of Xiao Se and Jin Xian, Wu Xin disguised himself as a junior eunuch and sneaked into the palace. During the process, he faced body searches and inspection from a senior eunuch but luckily wasn’t exposed.

Wu Xin arrived at Jingtai Palace and saw the Declared Consort, and also saw the spirit tablet in the side hall. Although mother and son didn’t recognize each other, the Declared Consort felt an inexplicable familiarity in Wu Xin’s features. While the Declared Consort was speaking with Wu Xin, Xiao Yu suddenly arrived at Jingtai Palace, claiming he had come to apologize to his mother for past actions and even brought fine tea.

While the maid poured tea, Xiao Yu noticed Wu Xin nearby and deliberately brought him up. As expected, the Declared Consort reacted sensitively and warned Xiao Yu not to harm his own brother. Xiao Yu was furious upon hearing this. He resented that his mother, once the emperor’s favorite consort, had brought disgrace upon herself by falling in love with another man, thus implicating him.

He endured countless ridicule and scorn since childhood, while the Declared Consort remained hidden away and never cared for him. After Xiao Yu stormed off, Wu Xin emerged from the side hall to chat with the Declared Consort, listening as she spoke of the secrets circulating in the Northern Li imperial palace. It turned out that she had truly intended to elope with Ye Dingzhi, but they were separated by a schemer.

Someone lied that Xiao Yu was gravely ill and tricked her into returning to the palace, making Ye Dingzhi believe she desired wealth and power. When Ye Dingzhi was besieged by various martial sects and heard on his deathbed that the Declared Consort had planned to escape with him to Nanjue, he realized the truth too late, felt deep regret, and ultimately took his own life.

When Wu Xin learned the truth, a wave of emotions surged in his heart, but he didn’t reveal his identity. He simply recounted his life story in a subtle way. The Declared Consort was moved by the young man in front of her, but suddenly lost consciousness and fainted. Only then did Wu Xin realize Xiao Yu had poisoned the tea.

As Wu Xin began channeling energy to expel the poison, Xiao Yu reappeared and transferred the poison into Wu Xin’s body, rendering him fully poisoned. Xiao Se waited anxiously but did not receive any news from Wu Xin. Instead, Ji Xue from Baixiao Hall arrived. Currently, all poison masters in Tianqi City were on a list, and Xiao Se immediately zeroed in on one name—Night Crow, the ghost doctor who had long disappeared.

Once part of the three prodigies of Medicine King Valley—Medicine King Xin Baicao, Divine Doctor Bian Suchen, and Ghost Doctor Night Crow—she was the youngest, yet her use of medicine was the most bizarre. She was eventually expelled for researching forbidden techniques. Rumor had it she died due to backlash from her experiments, but Baixiao Hall found traces of her in Tianqi six months ago. Due to her exceptional lightness skills, her trail was lost—unbeknownst to all, she was hiding in Lord Chi’s manor.
