Xin Ziyan teased Ning Yi. Ning Yi only requested that he must consult with him regarding future actions concerning Feng Zhiwei. Feng Zhiwei pretended to have a leg ailment. At this time, Prince Yan brought Imperial Physician Zhang to examine her. Feng Zhiwei truly couldn't refuse. Just then, a person reported that something had happened at Qingming Academy, so Prince Yan accompanied Feng Zhiwei to investigate.

Prince Yan supported Feng Zhiwei, while also instructing her to guard the Jin Kui well. Feng Zhiwei simply told Prince Yan about her habit of sleeping with the Jin Kui, intending to lure the snake out of its hole. Everyone arrived in the hall and found Shaoning and Yao Yangyu causing a commotion. It turned out that Shaoning had lost a bet with Yao Yangyu but didn't have any money with her for the wager.

In a fit of anger, Shaoning took out the tiger tally given to her by the Tiansheng Emperor. Prince Yan only calmed down after reprimanding several people. In Feng Zhiwei's room, Imperial Physician Zhang tried to take Yan Huaishi by surprise and give him an injection to investigate the Jin Kui, but he was discovered by Gu Nanyi, who pushed open the door and entered. Imperial Physician Zhang was flustered.

Gu Nanyi quickly chased him away, saying there was an important item in the room. In the middle of the night, Yan Huaishi, holding the tiger tally Feng Zhiwei had given him, arrived at Prince Chu's residence. Ning Yi understood that Feng Zhiwei wanted him to help her out of a predicament. The next day, Minister Peng of the Ministry of Justice brought people to surround Qingming Academy.

Upon learning this, Feng Zhiwei told Gu Nanyi to stay in her room and went to see for herself. It turned out that Shaoning's tiger tally, which allowed her to enter and exit the palace and mobilize personal guards, was lost. Minister Peng wanted to search Qingming Academy, unaware that all the students of Qingming Academy had been confined by Feng Zhiwei due to last night's incident.

Minister Peng then wanted to search the rooms of Feng Zhiwei, Gu Nanyi, and Yan Huaishi. Feng Zhiwei naturally refused. After a confrontation between the two, Minister Peng ultimately took his people to Feng Zhiwei's courtyard. At this moment, Prince Yan whispered something into Ni Wenyu's ear. Ni Wenyu then entered the confinement room and told Yao Yangyu that the Ministry of Justice was going to arrest Feng Zhiwei.

Yao Yangyu was indignant and immediately led the students to the scene. Ning Yi sent Wu Ying to deliver a letter to the Tiansheng Emperor. After reading it, the Tiansheng Emperor was greatly pleased and had Zhao Yuan convey an oral decree, saying that Ning Yi was truly filial and the excellent remedy he offered had stabilized his condition. The people from the Ministry of Justice wanted to enter Feng Zhiwei's courtyard. Yan Huaishi and Feng Zhiwei blocked them.

The students of Qingming Academy also arrived at this time, and the scene became chaotic. Prince Yan took advantage of the chaos to enter Feng Zhiwei's room, but he saw Ning Yi there. He could only say that he was there to look for the tiger tally. And by Feng Zhiwei's bed, Shaoning's tiger tally was indeed found. After Ning Yi's somewhat nonchalant judgment, he ordered Feng Zhiwei to be temporarily detained.

Feng Zhiwei was furious and bit Ning Yi's arm to vent her anger. Although Prince Yan didn't see the Jin Kui, he had figured out the Tiansheng Emperor's intentions. Most likely, Ning Yi was inside the Jin Kui. Especially after learning that Ning Yi had offered an excellent remedy, Prince Yan could no longer sit still. Today, he had to act. After arranging his people to proceed according to plan, Prince Yan called out to Imperial Physician Zhang. . .

Qinglong Temple. After Ning Yi and Xin Ziyan paid their respects to Consort Yan, Ning Yi stated that he had rescued that person and hidden him here, and had also arranged for someone to impersonate him, so he would not be discovered by Prince Yan for now. Immediately after, Xin Ziyan called for Assistant Minister Xu and revealed the reason he had been following Prince Yan.

It turned out that Prince Yan had a Chanshi, who happened to be Assistant Minister Xu's elder brother who had become a monk in his early years, and who had written a book that made the Tiansheng Emperor quite wary, the "Essentials of Great Achievement". The Chanshi immediately appeared before Assistant Minister Xu, but he had not spoken for many years.

Seeing that he was in Prince Chu's hands, Assistant Minister Xu wasted no time and directly asked Xin Ziyan what he wanted him to do. Xin Ziyan merely said that today was simply about finding a proper way to send the Chanshi to live out his remaining years in peace. In the confinement room, Feng Zhiwei wrote a few sentences on paper.

She remembered what Ning Yi had said and would certainly cooperate, only hoping that Ning Yi could realize his ambitions. At this moment, Shaoning diverted the guards and took Feng Zhiwei to Prince Yan's residence. In the hall, Duke Min's subordinate was threatening Prince Yan, telling him to assist them, or else he would personally lead troops to support the emperor. Shaoning and Feng Zhiwei were very worried upon hearing this.

Prince Yan also came out at this time to cooperate with Shaoning's act, and he handed an item to Feng Zhiwei. Prince Yan and Shaoning believed they were in control of the whole situation, unaware that Ning Yi had already sent Xin Ziyan to stabilize the Tiansheng Emperor, and Feng Zhiwei was acting according to his instructions. When Prince Yan learned that the Chanshi had disappeared, he knew that Assistant Minister Xu had betrayed him.

At this time, Assistant Minister Xu was at Prince Chu's residence, fully disclosing Prince Yan's plan to stage a forced abdication. He also pointed out that Duke Min's subordinate was Yuan Chong from the Tiger Might Camp years ago, who had now changed his identity to Liu Guang. Prince Yan would persuade Feng Zhiwei to take out the imperial edict from the Jin Kui, and once it was taken out, Feng Zhiwei would be shot dead by Liu Guang.

Ning Yi immediately became agitated, ordering Ning Cheng to gather guards and personally apprehend Yuan Chong. He also told Assistant Minister Xu to stay in his residence to avoid trouble. Gu Nanyi overheard this and reported it to Master Zong. Master Zong, upon learning that Feng Zhiwei was in danger, immediately ordered him to save her, and also to kill Ning Yi amidst the chaos.

Outside Shunping Gate, Ning Yi successfully apprehended Yuan Chong as he wished, and Gu Nanyi's arrow was stirring in the dark. Ning Yi was too disdainful to kill the scoundrel Yuan Chong himself, so he ordered his men to escort him back to the Ministry of Justice and turned to leave. Yuan Chong, unwilling to give up, tried to lunge forward but was shot dead by an arrow from Gu Nanyi.

Gu Nanyi knew that if Ning Yi died, Feng Zhiwei would be sad. The Tiansheng Emperor summoned the princes and ministers into the palace. Feng Zhiwei and Shaoning stealthily evaded the guards of Qingming Academy and obtained the Jin Kui. At this moment, Ning Yi also came for the Jin Kui. Feng Zhiwei simply showed herself and followed him into the palace. Shaoning, fearing that the Tiansheng Emperor did not have long to live, also returned to the imperial palace.

In the carriage, Feng Zhiwei was suddenly called out by Ning Yi, while Shaoning remained in the carriage with the Jin Kui and the fake imperial edict Prince Yan had given Feng Zhiwei. Prince Yan had given Feng Zhiwei a fake imperial edict, claiming it was to let Duke Min's former subordinates know that his name was in the edict, thereby dispelling their doubts. However, Shaoning had secretly swapped this fake imperial edict with the real one.

Ning Yi had Feng Zhiwei take the Jin Kui, and they rode horses together into the palace. The Imperial Palace. The ministers were uneasy. Shaoning secretly slipped the imperial edict to Prince Yan. At this moment, the Tiansheng Emperor decreed that Feng Zhiwei should read the imperial edict. The Tiansheng Emperor listened from inside the hall, then had Ning Yi take a small box, preparing to go out and personally end this play.
