Yi Hou Meng Ying expresses her profound appreciation for Su Qin during a meeting with him and the King of Yan. She praises the King's eagerness to recruit talented individuals like Su Qin to strengthen Yan and fulfill their ambition of unifying the world. Su Qin proposes a strategic alliance with Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Qin to jointly retaliate against the tyrannical state of Qi.
The King of Yan wholeheartedly endorses this plan and instructs Guo Wei to immediately begin the process of forming the alliance. Su Qin then brings up a sensitive matter, recounting his recent encounter with Mi Yue and her son,Gongzi Ji, near the Golden Taiwan garrison. He describes them as disheveled and struggling in the snow, nearly succumbing to the cold, before he rescued them and brought them back to the courier hostel.
He stresses that for Yan to successfully form alliances, it is crucial to treat foreign dignitaries with proper respect, lest their ill-treatment jeopardizes diplomatic relations. Meng Ying, visibly distressed by this news, rebukes Guo Wei, reminding him of her earlier command to treat all guests with courtesy. Guo Wei deflects the blame onto his subordinates, citing their negligence and incompetence. Meng Ying, unsatisfied, orders him to conduct a thorough investigation and rectify the situation without delay.
After the King and Guo Wei depart, Meng Ying detains Su Qin. She confesses her internal conflict regarding Mi Yue; despite her past resentment towards Mi Yue, whom she believed was "merciless" to Su Qin years ago, she cannot ignore Mi Yue andGongzi Ji's current plight. Su Qin clarifies that his previous misfortunes in Qin were not Mi Yue's doing, but rather the result of King Ying Si's political maneuvering to balance his court.
He recalls how constant exploitation by a hostel owner ultimately forced him to leave Xianyang. Meng Ying then reveals her own predicament: her authority is constrained by Yan's reliance on Qin's military support, which helped her and the King ascend to power. Therefore, she cannot openly assist Mi Yue without risking offense to the current Qin King and his mother, Queen Hui.
Recognizing Mi Yue's desperate need for basic provisions, Meng Ying resolves to find an indirect way to help them, ensuring her involvement remains discreet. Meanwhile, back at his residence, Guo Wei confronts Mi Yin. Earlier, Mi Yin was heard lamenting Yan's harsh climate and her exhaustive household duties.
She gloated about her attempt to let Mi Yue perish in the snow after being expelled from the Golden Taiwan hostel, expressing frustration that a "busybody" named Su Qin intervened to save her. She had wanted to punish Su Qin but was informed he was Guo Wei's newly discovered talent and therefore untouchable. Guo Wei sternly demands to know Mi Yin's motives for persecuting the Qin proton.
Mi Yin, feigning innocence, claims she was merely assisting her husband, citing a letter from Queen Hui of Qin advising against kind treatment of Mi Yue. Guo Wei scolds her for a woman meddling in state affairs. In a dramatic outburst, Mi Yin offers to be punished or even sent back to Chu. Guo Wei quickly mollifies her with gifts—a gold hairpin and a beautifully crafted gilded phoenix hairpin—effectively ending the contentious conversation.
Unbeknownst to Mi Yue, the despicable Postmaster Zhao Chen, having observed the recent delivery of supplies, reports it to Mi Yin. Enraged by Mi Yue's unexpected support, Mi Yin orders Zhao Chen to investigate Tao Yin, dismissing him as a mere artisan who once benefited from Guo Wei's patronage. Zhao Chen informs her that Guo Wei himself had recently sent provisions to the courier hostel for Mi Yue, but Mi Yin scoffs, dismissing it as a superficial gesture.
She then gives Guo Wei's provisions and money to Zhao Chen, urging him to continue his harassment. Consumed by hatred, Mi Yin declares that Mi Yue's resilience, like "dead wood rekindling," makes her a persistent threat. She plots to evict Mi Yue from the courier hostel, aiming to strip her of any remaining dignity and force her into destitution, without Guo Wei discovering her true intentions.
Her maid, Ling'er, cautions her about Guo Wei's potential displeasure, but Mi Yin dismisses it, prioritizing her own satisfaction above all else. Days later, Mi Yue and her family anxiously await Wu Po, worried about the overdue status of the completed "Shi Hun Li" order, which was nearing completion. With their millet and candles depleted, and their eviction from the courier hostel imminent, Mi Yue instructs her companions to prepare for the move, suspecting unforeseen complications.
Just as they are about to leave, Xiang'er discovers Wu Po lingering fearfully near the courier hostel entrance. Wu Po tearfully explains that Tao Yin abruptly canceled the copying order, retracting all promises of additional rewards, and that the Postmaster Zhao Chen had explicitly forbidden her from returning to the courier hostel. Faced with their desperate situation, Mi Yue asks Wu Po to help them find new lodging.
Wu Po warns that the bustling West Market is a rough area, but Mi Yue, prioritizing practical help, asserts that true dignity lies in character, not status. Wu Po leads them to a house in the West Market, where a local child ominously warns them that the house is haunted by "evil spirits" and that anyone who moves in will become a ghost. Wu Po dismisses the child's words and introduces Mi Yue to the homeowner, Auntie Zhen.
Meanwhile, in the Qin court, King Ying Dang challenges Wei Ran's promotion, which General Sima Cuo had repeatedly advocated for Wei Ran's military achievements. Ying Dang lists several lesser titles, then mockingly offers Wei Ran the vacant position of Left Shuzhang. When other nobles voice their own merits, Ying Dang proposes a test of strength: Wei Ran must defeat one of three powerful strongmen—Meng Ben, Wu Huo, or Ren Bi—to earn the title.
General Sima Cuo protests, arguing that Wei Ran is a military general, not a mere brawler. Ying Dang dismisses this, emphasizing the importance of martial prowess for Qin soldiers. Wei Ran is forced to accept the challenge against Meng Ben. In a brutal fight, Wei Ran is severely beaten and spits blood. Enraged by this humiliation, General Sima Cuo immediately declares his resignation, stating he would rather retire than endure such an insult.
Despite Chancellor Chu Li Zi's attempts to intervene, Ying Dang promptly appoints Meng Ben as Left Shuzhang. As Sima Cuo walks away with Chu Li Zi, he laments Ying Dang's long-standing animosity towards him and questions Chu Li Zi's past support for the King. Chu Li Zi expresses deep regret, contrasting Ying Dang's reliance on "ox-like brutes" and brute force with the former King Huiwen's wisdom and ability to attract scholars.
The Right Chancellor interjects, defending King Ying Dang's ambition to unify the world through powerful warriors, further intensifying the friction. Wei Ran, still fuming, joins Sima Cuo in warning that such "perverse actions" will lead to disaster.
