Li Wei, without permission, brought Fu Xuan to Wu Baiqi's tent. Wu Baiqi was furious, not wanting Fu Xuan to see him in his weakened state and confined to a wheelchair. He had been calling Fu Xuan's name while unconscious, which prompted Li Wei to send for her. Wu Baiqi dismissed Li Wei, asserting that a man who had never held a woman's hand wouldn't understand his feelings.

However, Fu Xuan had not left; she overheard their conversation from outside the tent. She later pressed Lieutenant Li for the truth about Wu Baiqi's injuries and learned that while his left leg was not gravely injured, his right leg had been deeply pierced by a sword, damaging his meridians. Complete recovery would require immense suffering, and he would likely experience pain in his knee during cold or wet weather.

Fu Rong returned from the cliff bottom to find a tearful Cui Wan, who embraced her with relief. Cui Wan recounted how she had been deceived by Qi Zhu and attacked by assassins. To prevent further attempts on their journey, Fu Rong proposed a plan: she would impersonate the princess and travel with the main procession as a decoy, while the real Princess Cui Wan would disguise herself as a commoner and take a secret route to Xuanhan.

Cui Wan agreed, ready to accept her responsibilities. She and Duke Su promised to take care of themselves and reunite safely. Xu Jia was tasked with ensuring Cui Wan's safe passage. Wu Baiqi was surprised to find a blanket covering his legs. Li Wei confessed that Fu Xuan had given specific instructions for his care, including the blanket, a stool for easier access to his wheelchair, and raising his washing basin, having overheard everything.

Realizing Fu Xuan knew of his injuries, Wu Baiqi decided there was no longer a need to hide. Later, Fu Xuan found Wu Baiqi by a lake. She passionately declared that his condition was irrelevant, vowing to push his wheelchair or even carry him if needed. Touched by her words, Wu Baiqi pulled her onto his lap as he slowly propelled the wheelchair forward.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhu sat with Duke Huai, sensing her end was near as the poison spread through her body. Acknowledging her past wrongdoings and her selfish use of the royal marriage as a pretext to escape and gain freedom, she left a cold letter disavowing their connection and departed while he slept. During a rest stop, assassins struck the marriage procession again.

Xu Jin fought and unmasked Wu Ta, but was then cornered at a cliff's edge by a second assailant, whom he recognized as Duke An before being pushed into the ravine below. Simultaneously, Fu Rong was thrown from her carriage and fell unconscious. Duke An retrieved her and brought her back to the Fu Residence. Wu Baiqi, who had secretly recovered and could now walk, planned to surprise Fu Xuan.

However, she arrived first with her own surprise: a new, lighter wheelchair. Not wanting to disappoint her, Wu Baiqi pretended his legs were still weak and sat in it. As they talked, the wheelchair unexpectedly rolled down a steep hill. Wu Baiqi leaped up, carrying Fu Xuan to safety, but they tumbled and their lips accidentally brushed. He then confessed his legs were healed and he had only pretended otherwise to spare her feelings.

Angered by his deception, Fu Xuan stormed off. Xu Jia successfully escorted Cui Wan to Xuanhan's palace. The King of Xuanhan, a refined ruler, was intrigued by Cui Wan's spirited demeanor. Cui Wan explained the assassination attempt and how Fu Rong was impersonating her. The King ordered his men to search for his missing second brother, Wu Ta, and to find the main procession. Later, Wu Baiqi climbed over the wall to see Fu Xuan, who reluctantly provided a ladder.

He presented her with a small, movable wheelchair ornament he had crafted from the wreckage of his old one, a memento of his injury and her unwavering support. Their affectionate moment was interrupted by Bao Zhu, who rushed in to report that Fu Rong had been found unconscious and brought back by Duke An. Fu Rong awoke to find her sister, Fu Xuan, who delivered the devastating news: Duke Su had died. The Emperor and Consort Shu were heartbroken.

Fu Rong visited Duke Su's Residence, now draped in white mourning cloths. There, she found the farewell letter she had sent him. Below her words, "parting love, eternally severed," he had added a new line: "In life, I shall return; in death, our love will be long." She realized he had foreseen this tragic end. In Xuanhan's palace, Xu Jin regained consciousness, having been rescued by his Uncle San from Ruyi Pavilion.

The heart armor Fu Rong had made for him had saved him from a fatal blow. Uncle San revealed he was in Xuanhan investigating the disappearance of Duke An's mother, Consort Wen, and had found clues suggesting she was alive near the border. Worried for Fu Rong, Xu Jin insisted on returning to Hengjing immediately. He bid farewell to the King of Xuanhan and Cui Wan.

The King offered an escort, admitting he suspected his brother, Wu Ta, was behind the assassination, driven by jealousy. He also clarified that Wu Ta had fabricated the story about his insistence on marrying Princess Xihe. Hearing this, Cui Wan was upset that the King had known she was mistaken and hadn't corrected her. In the capital, the distraught Emperor entrusted Duke An with managing Duke Su's funeral.

Duke An then formally requested the Emperor's permission to have Duke Su's concubine, Fu Rong, buried with him, arguing that Duke Su, who had no official wife or children, loved her deeply and should not be laid to rest alone. The Emperor granted his request.
