Yiqu King gradually recovered and finally woke up. Mi Yue was overjoyed and cried tears of relief, holding him tightly to confirm he was alive. Yiqu King reassured her that he would never let her suffer again and then declared his intention to do something grand for her: with the full might of his Yiqu forces, he would help Mi Yue and her son, Gongzi Ji, reclaim the Qin Kingdom.
Mi Yue, however, suggested a more subtle approach, proposing a way to occupy the palace without engaging in battle. Soon after, Hu Wei reported that Wei Ran urgently wished to see Mi Yue. Wei Ran informed her that Gongzi Ji was safe with Yong Rui.
However, the situation in Xianyang was dire; while Chu Li Zi and Yong Rui had gathered many court officials to support Gongzi Ji, their combined forces were insufficient for a decisive victory, which would inevitably lead to bloodshed. Mi Yue then presented her plan: she would act as bait to lure Mi Shu into opening the palace gates. Wei Ran was to spread rumors that Mi Yue had once again been captured by the Yiqu people.
Upon hearing that Mi Yue was in Yiqu King's hands, Mi Shu immediately proposed a trade, offering five thousand carts of grain, a thousand bolts of silk, and ten thousand gold pieces for Mi Yue's return. Meanwhile, Yiqu King and Mi Yue were walking in the grassland. Yiqu King asked how to respond to Mi Shu’s offer.
Mi Yue advised him not to agree immediately, but instead to demand cities and land, emphasizing that to earn an opponent's respect, one must not appear easily subdued. Separately, Wei Yi and Wei Yan worried that Mi Shu, in desperation, might install Gongzi Zhuang as king before Wei Yi's supposed "heir" was born. To preempt this, they devised a plan and kidnapped Gongzi Zhuang.
Later, Du Jin arrived to negotiate with Yiqu King, bringing some gold, silk, and five city seals as an initial payment. Yiqu King feigned displeasure, complaining about the incomplete payment and the Qin people's deceit. He threatened to call off the deal, then insisted on personally escorting Mi Yue to Xianyang with his troops to collect the full payment.
Du Jin, eager to complete the exchange, reluctantly agreed, with the stipulation that only a limited number of Yiqu soldiers enter the city to avoid conflict. Du Jin boasted to Hu Wei about the rewards he expected from Mi Shu for delivering Mi Yue. The plan was set, and Mi Yue, escorted by Yiqu King's forces, arrived in Xianyang. In the grand hall, Mi Shu confronted Mi Yue, remarking on their long and complicated relationship.
Mi Shu claimed that fate destined them to be rivals and that Mi Yue’s death would make the late king's testament disappear, ensuring her complete control. As they spoke, Wei Yan and Wei Yi's people arrived, presenting Gongzi Zhuang's clothing. Mi Shu, realizing Gongzi Zhuang had been kidnapped and that her eunuch Feng Jia had betrayed her, angrily denounced Feng Jia as ungrateful.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Wei Yan and Wei Yi then attempted to bribe Yiqu King with a larger sum of gold to seize Mi Yue for themselves. Mi Shu, enraged, ordered her guards to capture Mi Yue. However, Yiqu King intervened, declaring Mi Yue still his captive. Just then, Chu Li Zi and Sima Cuo entered the hall, announcing Gongzi Ji's ascension to the throne by presenting the late King Huiwen's testament. The political tide had turned.
Amidst Mi Shu’s furious protests and Wei Yan’s desperate attempts to discredit the testament and Wei Yi’s false pregnancy, Prime Minister Gan also acknowledged the shift in power. Mi Shu and Wei Yan, their plans thwarted and their authority undermined, were swiftly taken away as captives.
