Shaoning questioned Feng Zhiwei as soon as she saw her. She was unhappy that Feng Zhiwei had been avoiding her. Feng Zhiwei only replied that there was a difference between men and women. Shaoning then asked why Ning Yi shot Feng Zhiwei outside Chenming Hall that day. Ning Yi claimed that the deposed crown prince had committed monstrous crimes. Shaoning then eagerly begged Feng Zhiwei to accompany her for a drink.

Ning Yi had no choice but to send Shaoning back to the palace first. But Shaoning accused Ning Yi of being shameless, and even brought up the incident of Consort Yan colluding with the enemy, betraying the country, and secretly releasing her lover to humiliate Ning Yi. Ning Yi couldn't help but slap Shaoning. Feng Zhiwei could only have the servants help Shaoning back. Shaoning found Feng Zhiwei again, wanting to talk with her.

The deposed crown prince was her only relative. Since that day at Chenming Hall, every time she closed her eyes, there was blood everywhere, and she was filled with rage. Feng Zhiwei was sad that the formerly lively and happy princess had become like this, so she asked Shaoning to be happy and let go of the deposed crown prince's death. Afterward, Ning Yi received Shaoning's challenge letter, which also threatened Feng Zhiwei's life.

Ning Yi remained calm, showing no intention of accepting the challenge. He knew Shaoning would not kill Feng Zhiwei. With tears in her eyes, Shaoning told Feng Zhiwei how the deposed crown prince used to dote on her. Feng Zhiwei was unconsciously moved. Shaoning claimed that she had sent a challenge letter to Ning Yi, even intending to kill him. Feng Zhiwei's expression changed. Kill Ning Yi at her residence?

But when she pressed Shaoning again, the other party only said she wanted to drink. So, Feng Zhiwei, under the pretense of having Yan Huaishi get wine, had him inform Ning Yi not to come there. When Ning Cheng looked for Ning Yi, he was told by Wu Ying that Ning Yi had already secretly ordered a carriage to be prepared and left the residence alone.

Gu Nanyi saw the bushes filled with hidden weapons, immediately felt suspicious, and went to investigate but was caught in a net. Yan Huaishi came to Prince Chu's Residence and relayed Feng Zhiwei's words to Ning Yi. It turned out that Ning Yi had not left; he had ordered Wu Ying to tell Ning Cheng that. Feng Zhiwei's repeated attempts to dissuade Shaoning failed to stop her.

She could only claim that she and Ning Yi had always been at odds and requested to help Shaoning kill Ning Yi. Then, Feng Zhiwei took Shaoning to a bedroom and had her hide opposite. But Shaoning suddenly ordered her men to seize Feng Zhiwei. As soon as Ning Cheng entered the residence, he was surrounded by men in black. Gu Nanyi was also in danger.

Late at night, Ning Yi brought people to the residence, only to find the hairpin left by Ning Cheng. Prince Yan was also hiding in the dark, ready to assist Shaoning. Ning Yi saw Feng Zhiwei tied up in the attic, so he quickly lit a candle and went up to the attic. Feng Zhiwei noticed and promptly warned him that there was gunpowder in the room. Afterward, Ning Yi helped Feng Zhiwei cut the ropes.

The two were enveloped in a cloak. Sensing gunpowder inside, they quickly threw it out. Shaoning appeared at this moment, wanting to ignite it, but was scared away by Ning Cheng's voice. In the dim attic, only Ning Yi's figure, pressing down on Feng Zhiwei, remained. He then gently left a kiss on her face.

By the riverside, Shaoning changed into men's clothing and told Feng Zhiwei that Ning Yi had framed the deposed crown prince, and she was also very disappointed in Feng Zhiwei. Shaoning also stated that she would never give up, and Ning Yi would always be her enemy. Facing Shaoning's indiscriminate revenge, Feng Zhiwei felt very helpless. Gu Nanyi handed her a weed, saying eating this would make her feel better.

Meanwhile, Ning Yi and Ning Cheng watched Feng Zhiwei from the cliff, feeling desolate in their hearts. Seeing Feng Zhiwei and Gu Nanyi playfully bickering, Ning Yi only wished that she could continue to smile for a long time in this officialdom. Ning Qi finally returned to Chenming Hall. The Tiansheng Emperor had not seen him for a long time. After the imperial court session, Ning Qi specifically stopped Feng Zhiwei, wanting to repay her.

Feng Zhiwei just used some high-sounding words to fob him off. Prince Yan and Ning Yi watched from behind the two, lamenting Ning Qi's ambition. Ning Qi met Ms. Wang, whom he hadn't seen in over ten years. The mother and son embraced and wept. But Ms. Wang was also afraid that Ning Qi getting involved in the struggle for the throne would bring about a fatal disaster, so she gave him countless warnings and admonitions.

Ning Qi's wife, Yijun, was also uneasy in her heart. The couple had a harmonious relationship. Ning Qi was eager to ascertain the Tiansheng Emperor's intentions and deliberately tried to test Feng Zhiwei. The next day at the imperial court. Qiu Shangqi claimed that the horse market he supervised had effectively resolved border issues. However, Ning Qi said that the horse market brought trouble to the common people. The Tiansheng Emperor was immediately displeased and wanted to punish Qiu Shangqi.

Feng Zhiwei then stepped forward, stating that closing the horse market was not a solution. Subsequently, Feng Zhiwei took out a wool sachet, suggesting convenient intermarriage between women from the Central Plains and Dayue. Secondly, Feng Zhiwei suggested that the Tiansheng Emperor change the horse market to a sheep market.
