Ning Yi saw Feng Zhiwei's wound, and quickly told her to bandage it first before drawing the picture. Gu Nanyi then led Feng Zhiwei behind the screen and carefully bandaged her wound. After Ning Yi saw the arrow diagram, he knew that the culprit was definitely not someone from the Five Armies. Then the two changed the subject, stating that the Tian Sheng imperial court was not what they had imagined.
Feng Zhiwei had seen many talented and virtuous people who were unable to enter the imperial court; she wondered when the court would truly be upright and honorable. Subsequently, Ning Yi called Feng Zhiwei to his side and spoke of the day he was assassinated and the ambiguous interaction he had with Feng Zhiwei. Such things could only happen in the dark.
The next day, Ning Yi volunteered to take on a post in the Censorate to the Tian Sheng Emperor. The Tian Sheng Emperor agreed to his request and had Feng Zhiwei draft the imperial edict. Qiu Mingying arrived alone at Feng Zhiwei's residence, but was stopped by the guards when she tried to enter. Yan Huaishi informed her that Feng Zhiwei was not in the residence, so Qiu Mingying asked him to tell Feng Zhiwei that she had visited.
Facing Yan Huaishi's attempt to make her stay, Qiu Mingying scoffed, saying she was there to pick up Feng Zhiwei, not Wei Zhi. Later, Qiu Mingying went to Zong Fuzi's home. Zong Fuzi believed that Feng Zhiwei becoming an imperial official might not be a bad thing, as it could help achieve the great task of restoring their kingdom sooner.
However, Qiu Mingying feared that the Tian Sheng Emperor would discover her identity and was reluctant to let her go to her death. Feng Zhiwei sat alone by the window, her brows furrowed with worry. Gu Nanyi sat beside her, peeling walnuts for her. Neither Yan Huaishi nor he knew why Feng Zhiwei was so troubled. Feng Zhiwei suddenly spoke, saying she missed her mother.
The next day, Feng Zhiwei brought Gu Nanyi back to her home, unexpectedly learning that Gu Nanyi had never had a home. Feng Hao was playing Cuju in Feng Zhiwei's room, speaking disrespectfully. Afterwards, Feng Zhiwei met Qiu Mingying. Qiu Mingying had many complaints for her, and tears slowly welled up in Feng Zhiwei's eyes; she would not resign from this official position! But Qiu Mingying still only had one thing to say to her: resign from the post.
Seeing that persuasion was futile, Feng Zhiwei could only utter harsh words, stating that she absolutely would not resign from this position, because it was her only chance to change her fate. Qiu Mingying, furious, turned and entered the house. Feng Zhiwei had no choice but to kowtow outside the house, then turned and left with Gu Nanyi.
Gu Nanyi, who never easily touched people, saw Feng Zhiwei so sad and had no choice but to lend her his shoulder to lean on. Gu Nanyi discovered that he had unconsciously shed tears. Upon taking office in the Censorate, Ning Yi immediately made strong remarks to Minister Peng, but the latter, relying on Prince Yan's backing, targeted him everywhere. Then Ning Yi instructed Ning Cheng to copy a public notice for body identification.
The Tian Sheng Emperor had not summoned Consort Chang for a long time, so Consort Chang came to him herself, claiming that Duke Min, to prove the Chang family's innocence, had already removed Chang Hai from the family tree, and Consort Chang herself voluntarily wished to move to the abandoned palace. The Tian Sheng Emperor felt some remorse, thinking he should not have vented his anger on Consort Chang.
Consort Chang, hearing this, immediately offered the soup she had brought to the Tian Sheng Emperor, very pleased. Xin Ziyan furiously arrived at Ning Yi's residence, questioning him why he didn't deliberate carefully and just directly took the position in the Censorate. Ning Yi stated that only by becoming part of the Censorate could he overthrow the Chang clan. Xin Ziyan grew even angrier upon hearing this, asking if a mere Chen Shao could really overthrow the Chang clan.
Moreover, once he entered the Censorate, it meant Ning Yi lost his qualification to compete for the crown prince position! Ning Yi ignored him and instead took out the drawing Feng Zhiwei had made, hoping he could help him. Xin Ziyan, still fuming, turned to leave. Back then, Xin Ziyan had personally promised Ning Qiao to help him ascend to the crown prince position, but now Ning Yi had moved away from the princes without consulting him.
Xin Ziyan, with no outlet for his anger, could only blurt out that the arrow came from a small tribe on the border of Dayue, then left. Ning Yi already knew the answer, Dayue border. . . The Tian Sheng Emperor walked through the palace with his servants, sighing that although he had won the empire, he could not be a husband in an ordinary household. Afterwards, the Tian Sheng Emperor went to Wang Shi's residence without allowing any announcement.
Wang Shi was warming the bed at that moment; she worried about the Tian Sheng Emperor's back ailment, so for years she had warmed his bed every night without interruption, even if he had never come. The Tian Sheng Emperor was greatly moved. Consort Chang was extremely enraged upon learning that the Tian Sheng Emperor had stayed with Wang Shi. Ning Yi summoned Ning Qi.
Ning Qi knew it was about the murder in the West Market, so he presented a note Wang Shi had given him, instructing him to definitely eliminate Chen Shao. This note was given to him by Prince Yan. After listening, Ning Yi said that the arrow Ning Qi had shot had truly made him Prince Yan's scapegoat.
Ning Qi stated that he had absolutely no intention of colluding with the Chang clan, but it concerned Wang Shi's safety, so he had to do it. Subsequently, Ning Qi hoped that Ning Yi would find Chen Shao, and he would then personally plead guilty to the Tian Sheng Emperor. Yan Huaishi quietly helped Gu Nanyi change into a set of women's clothes.
As long as the fabric was light and thin, he wouldn't care if it was men's or women's clothing; however, Feng Zhiwei had to personally put the bamboo hat on him. Feng Zhiwei, feigning to have Gu Nanyi peel walnuts, put the bamboo hat on him, and she herself also changed into a set of women's clothes. Next, they just waited for the Qiu family to pick her up and take her back to the residence. Prince Yan ordered Minister Peng to find Chen Shao, and also to keep Ning Yi's attention occupied.
