Mi Yin burst into a room, only to find Guo Wei already seated there. She tried to explain that her actions were born out of urgency, but Guo Wei chastised her severely. He declared that mobilizing the army without the approval of Yi Hou and the King of Yan was a grave transgression, accusing Mi Yin of usurping power, using public authority for personal revenge, and orchestrating a murder.
Unwilling to accept his words, Mi Yin later intercepted Guo Wei's letter to General Tian, covertly changing the instruction from "no harm to hair" to "kill on the spot." Soon after, Mi Yue and her companions, en route to Qi, were ambushed by General Tian's forces. Just as a deadly confrontation was about to begin, Meng Ying arrived, preventing the battle. Mi Yue and her group alighted to greet her.
Guo Wei then invited Mi Yue and her son to stay temporarily for Yi Hou to reminisce, and Meng Ying reiterated that the decision was entirely Mi Yue's. Mi Yue accepted their offer. Guo Wei later approached Meng Ying, confessing his misjudgment and offering his prime minister position to Su Qin. Meng Ying stated she would discuss the matter with the King of Yan.
Guo Wei also suggested to Meng Ying that they could leverage the current internal strife in Qin to install Prince Ji on the Qin throne, which would benefit Yan in the future. Meanwhile, Mi Yin was confined to her room. Guo Wei came to warn her against her self-serving ways. He revealed that the death of Ting Wei Right Cheng allowed them to attribute the recent Xi Shi riot to him, thus sparing Mi Yin from greater scrutiny.
Guo Wei informed her that he knew she had tampered with the letter the previous day. Soon after, Mi Yin sent someone to poison Mi Yue's sour plum soup, but Guo Wei discovered the plot. He reversed the trap, forcing Mi Yin to drink her own poisoned soup, which led to her death. Guo Wei remarked that she had brought her own demise.
During their stay, Huang Xie observed Yiqu King's affections for Mi Yue and suggested to Mi Yue that he should leave. Mi Yue responded that the Yiqu King was smart and would leave when the time was right. Huang Xie engaged Mi Yue in a heartfelt conversation, recalling their past days in Chu Palace as the happiest and most joyful.
He confessed his envy of Yiqu King's unwavering devotion, noting that Yiqu was willing to do everything for her, something Huang Xie felt he could not do. Mi Yue acknowledged her gratitude for Yiqu King's role in their survival and expressed that no one understood her better than Huang Xie. Despite her deep appreciation for Meng Ying's hospitality, Mi Yue politely declined an extended stay, unwilling to let Ying Ji become a pawn in political schemes.
Upon Mi Yue's firm decision to leave Yan, the disappointed Yiqu King departed with his men. Before his departure, Tiger Wei discreetly informed Mi Yue that Yiqu still maintained informants in Xianyang, ready to assist her should she ever face urgent need. Later, Mi Yue felt a wave of sorrow upon learning of Mi Yin's death. However, Ying Ji, recalling the harm Mi Yin had inflicted on them, declared that the woman with a "snake-scorpion heart" had deserved her fate.
Some time later, in Xianyang, after Mi Yue had become the Queen Mother, life became troubled by the behavior of Yiqu people. Yiqu King's men were frequently involved in disturbances, getting drunk, assaulting people, and taking goods without payment, causing widespread resentment among the local Qin populace. A minister raised concerns with Mi Yue, noting that if the Yiqu people were not reined in, he could not continue as prime minister.
Mi Yue acknowledged the problem but explained that Yiqu people, accustomed to nomadic life, hunting, and bartering, did not understand market transactions or Qin law. She sought a solution to integrate them effectively. A wise advisor offered a strategy, pointing to Zhao's successful "Hu service riding and shooting" reform, which transformed their military and expanded their territory. Mi Yue adopted this "medicine," deciding that Qin and Yiqu armies would train together.
She envisioned combining Yiqu's cavalry expertise, honed from a lifetime on horseback, with Qin's advanced weapons like crossbows and armor, to create an invincible force. She decreed that Yiqu people would establish a new camp outside Xianyang. Within their barracks, they could practice their own customs, including drinking and fighting. However, outside the barracks, they would be strictly bound by Qin law.
Past offenses would be compensated from Mi Yue's personal treasury, making it clear that all Qin people, including the Yiqu who had come to Qin, must abide by the same laws. Yiqu King initially bristled at the idea of being confined by Qin law, contrasting it with their free-roaming lifestyle. Mi Yue patiently explained that just as a granary needed careful cultivation to thrive, Qin's stability required adherence to its laws.
She emphasized that Yiqu, by settling in Qin, were now Qin people and must be treated equally under the law, not as "heterogeneous" outsiders. Yiqu King eventually accepted her terms, acknowledging her efforts were for their own good and for Qin. He then stated his intention to set up their new camp outside the city as soon as possible.
Later, when Mi Yue brought up his previous inquiry about Chu envoys, Yiqu King dismissed it as a drunken lapse of memory, despite her hinting that Huang Xie, the envoy, resided in the post office.
