Wei Qu wept to Wei Shao, insisting on retrieving Wei Liang. Wei Shao comforted him and ordered him to lead a cavalry unit to Kang Commandery to find Qiao Ping and bring Wei Liang back. At that moment, Xiao Qiao collapsed to the ground in unbearable abdominal pain, and Wei Shao hurriedly carried her up. When Xiao Qiao woke up, her eyes were streaked with tears.

She tightly embraced Wei Shao, blaming herself for not being able to bear everything in his place. Even if she gave her life, it couldn’t ease the pain in his heart. She had promised to bring prosperity to the Wei family, but instead, the first person he lost was Wei Liang. Xiao Tao had been waiting for Wei Liang’s return, but he died in Kang Commandery.

Wei Shao did not blame Xiao Qiao, believing it was the fault of Qiao Yue and Liu Yan, and he would not take it out on her. However, he knew a battle with Yanzhou was inevitable. Xiao Qiao understood Wei Shao. Whether for the people’s safety in Panyi or to avenge Wei Liang, he must march to war immediately. Xiao Qiao reassured him that she would never blame him.

Wei Shao promised not to let her down or implicate others, only asking Xiao Qiao to take care of herself and their unborn child. He feared he might not live to see their child born. Xiao Qiao couldn’t see him off in person but urged him to be cautious in everything. Despite his illness, Wei Shao departed. Xiao Qiao felt sorrowful, while Xiao Tao clutched the orchid Wei Liang gave her, thinking about their past.

Tears streamed down like broken pearls. She missed the way Wei Liang used to call her and finally broke down sobbing. Qiao Ci came to comfort her. Xiao Tao told him that Wei Liang had promised to return with the orchid and propose. Qiao Ci understood her sorrow and silently stayed by her side. Wei Shao's allies began defecting to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was overjoyed and planned to bury Wei Shao in Yongcheng as revenge for Xiao Qiao humiliating General Lin. He intended to destroy Yongning Canal. At that moment, Yang Feng entered and opposed blowing up the dam, worried about harming innocent civilians. Qiao Yue, however, persuaded Yang Feng not to be bound by trivialities. Realizing their murderous intent, Yang Feng compromised and agreed to help, saying the sulfur explosives must be placed under the load-bearing wall for success.

Liu Shan approved of Yang Feng's suggestion, and Liu Yan allowed him to proceed. Yang Feng greatly admired Qiao Gui, lamenting how Qiao Gui built Yongning Canal for the people's benefit and saw the same spirit in Wei Shao. Yet now he had to destroy the canal and felt deeply ashamed. Yang Feng pulled out a waterway map that concealed a dagger, intending to assassinate Liu Yan.

He was stopped but managed to grab Liu Yan, intending to die with him. Yongning Canal was destroyed, and Yang Feng lost all will to live. Liu Yan, instead of saving Qiao Yue, impaled both of them with a single sword, killing Yang Feng and Qiao Yue together. Wei Xiao requested an audience with Lady Xu. Su Ehuang and Xue Tai led troops to attack Yu Commandery.

Xiao Qiao suggested sending a warning to Wei Shao and proposed allowing willing recruits to join the army voluntarily. Those who wanted to leave could pass through the opened city gates. Lady Xu praised Xiao Qiao’s righteousness and agreed, ordering the changes. She also instructed Wei Xiao to escort Xiao Qiao away. However, Xiao Qiao suddenly went into labor in intense pain. Heavy rain began to fall. As Wei Shao passed through mountainous terrain, rocks suddenly tumbled down, injuring soldiers.

At the same time, Xiao Qiao was giving birth with great difficulty, sweating profusely. As Wei Shao lifted a boulder to rescue a subordinate, Xiao Qiao gave birth after exhausting all her strength. She smiled at the sight of her newborn. Lady Xu and Madam Wei rushed in to see the baby, but news arrived that an army of 100,000 was attacking Yu Commandery.

Xiao Qiao worried that Wei Shao had left 60,000 troops behind in Yu Commandery but feared they were too few to win the battle. Lady Xu comforted her, expressing faith in Wei Shao’s ability. Lady Xu intended to evacuate Madam Wei and Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao refused to leave. She said they were family, and she had promised Wei Shao to protect them. Madam Wei also pleaded to stay.

Lady Xu held her hand and praised her as a worthy Lady Sovereign. The baby smiled, lifting everyone’s spirits. Gongsun Yang reported to Wei Shao that Qiao Yue had been killed, and both Yang Feng and Zhen Zhi were dead. Wei Shao immediately ordered his army to Panyi to stop the destruction of Yongning Canal. But just then, a message from Diao arrived: Su Ehuang and Xue Tai were attacking Yu Commandery, requesting Wei Shao’s aid.

Faced with a difficult choice, Wei Shao recalled Xiao Qiao’s words. Back then, Qiao Gui had to choose between betraying one person or the people. No one could easily make that choice. Wei Shao made up his mind to continue the assault on Panyi. At the city gates, the people demanded to join the battle. None were willing to leave. Xiao Qiao and Lady Xu were present, declaring they would live and die with the people.

As long as the Wei family stood, so would Wei State. The people's morale soared, rallying behind Lady Xu. Wei Qu arrived in Yu Commandery and saw Wei Liang’s body hanging at the city gate. Remembering their time together, Wei Qu broke into tears and mercilessly killed the soldiers guarding Wei Liang’s corpse. He took Wei Liang down, weeping uncontrollably and urging him to wake up so they could return and marry Xiao Tao.

Wrapping Wei Liang’s body in the Wei family’s banner, he carried it with the resolve to fight his way out. Alone, he entered the prison in search of the imprisoned Qiao Ping. During the fight, Wei Qu’s arm was severed, but he refused to give up. Remembering Wei Shao’s command to retrieve Wei Liang’s body and rescue Qiao Ping, he continued fighting with one arm, killed the prison guards, and freed Qiao Ping.

Qiao Ping was now blind and followed Wei Qu out. Just then, the general of Liangya arrived with reinforcements. Wei Qu reminded everyone that Qiao Yue had been killed by Liu Yan and that Qiao Ping was the true master of the region. He urged the soldiers to decide whether to follow a general from Liangya or obey their rightful governor.
