Duke Min said that the Chang family was in danger. Therefore, he decided to petition Emperor Tiansheng to request his demotion to General Minhai, in order to save the King of Yan's life. Chang Zhongyi immediately dissuaded him, saying that if he truly demoted himself, then the Chang family would be in danger! Feng Zhiwei was to be beheaded tomorrow. Ning Yi appeared calm on the surface, but his heart could not bear it.
At this time, inside the prison, Emperor Tiansheng sent someone to read out the imperial edict for tomorrow's execution. Feng Zhiwei knelt down heavily, then washed her face clean, and drew her eyebrows for herself, just as she did in the Qiu residence. Meanwhile, Master Zong and Qiu Mingying were planning with the Blood Vultures to raid the execution ground. Emperor Tiansheng would always unintentionally think of Feng Zhiwei.
Zhao Yuan saw that he was reluctant, and advised him that it would be fine to pardon her. But when Xin Ziyan arrived, Emperor Tiansheng ordered Zhao Yuan to check, and if he was there to plead for Feng Zhiwei, to drive him away. Emperor Tiansheng couldn't help but get angry when he saw the small table Feng Zhiwei used to use, and as he ordered someone to remove it, Xin Ziyan rushed in.
He not only pleased Emperor Tiansheng but also saved the table. Afterwards, Xin Ziyan also advised Emperor Tiansheng to employ more humble scholars, implicitly asking him to release Feng Zhiwei. Emperor Tiansheng pondered for a long time and said nothing. Xin Ziyan feigned sadness and left the imperial palace. Ning Yi was anxiously waiting outside, and only then did he take out the imperial edict given by Emperor Tiansheng.
Ning Yi immediately rushed away with the imperial edict, as the time for execution was fast approaching. On the way to the execution ground, Feng Zhiwei was being escorted. Qiu Mingying intercepted the prisoner's cart, reprimanded Feng Zhiwei, and declared that she wanted to sever ties with her. Meanwhile, on the city wall, Gu Nanyi, Master Zong, and the Blood Vultures lay in ambush in the shadows, their hand halberds ready to move.
Qiu Mingying also slowly rolled up her sleeves, intending to use a hand halberd to rescue Feng Zhiwei. Just as everyone was about to act, Ning Yi arrived with Emperor Tiansheng's imperial decree, ordering Feng Zhiwei to accompany him into the palace. Inside the imperial palace, the two did not see Emperor Tiansheng.
He merely ordered Zhao Yuan to convey an oral decree, stating that Feng Zhiwei's death penalty could be waived, but she could not escape punishment, and the punishment would be decided by Ning Yi. After Ning Yi entered the hall, Zhao Yuan placed a cushion for Feng Zhiwei, who was kneeling. Emperor Tiansheng was furious when he saw the punishment method proposed by Ning Yi.
He actually proposed that Emperor Tiansheng should confer a title upon Feng Zhiwei and then send her to another place to atone for her sins by rendering meritorious service, only being able to return upon completing her mission. At this moment, Feng Zhiwei shouted loudly outside the hall, requesting punishment. After entering the hall, Emperor Tiansheng took Feng Zhiwei's hand and asked Zhao Yuan to open her handcuffs. Feng Zhiwei unconsciously shed two streams of clear tears.
Emperor Tiansheng and Ning Yi were indeed father and son; both cared deeply for Feng Zhiwei in their hearts but refused to look at her. Finally, Emperor Tiansheng followed Ning Yi's method, conferring upon her the title of Imperial Inspector of Minhai, and ordered her to depart for Minhai with Ning Yi on a chosen day. Feng Zhiwei took off her prisoner's uniform and changed into a magnificent women's dress. Ning Yi found himself staring.
Feng Zhiwei knew Ning Yi had feelings for her, but Ning Yi stubbornly refused to admit it, claiming she was merely a pawn of his. Feng Zhiwei felt helpless; there was probably no one more awkward than Ning Yi in this world. The two arrived at a bustling market, where Feng Zhiwei gently took Ning Yi's hand and enjoyed some leisure time with him.
Someone bumped into Feng Zhiwei, and the expressions on Ning Yi's and her faces immediately changed, simply because this person had appeared on Feng Zhiwei's way to the execution ground. . . Feng Zhiwei averted her gaze, handed a black doll to Ning Yi, and then swept her sleeves and departed. Late at night, Gu Yan arrived at the Prince Chu's residence. He was stunned when he saw the hand halberd in Ning Yi's hand.
Ning Yi asked Gu Yan if there were still Blood Vultures hidden around Qiu Mingying. Gu Yan didn't know, but he thought it would be reasonable if there were Blood Vultures loyal to Qiu Mingying. Ning Yi was displeased; he could pretend that Qiu Mingying and the remnants of Da Cheng did not exist, but he could not allow anyone to cause chaos in Tiansheng. Gu Yan understood and prepared to investigate immediately.
However, Ning Yi told Gu Yan to inform Qiu Mingying not to let Feng Zhiwei know about those ghostly figures hidden in the shadows. After returning from the brink of death, Feng Zhiwei finally understood Qiu Mingying's painstaking efforts. She kowtowed deeply to her. Afterwards, Feng Zhiwei asked who the people who saved her were. Master Zong quickly forced a smile and said that they were merely his former jianghu brothers.
Feng Zhiwei didn't believe him and then asked about the Da Cheng Essentials. Qiu Mingying quickly stopped her; although she didn't dispel Feng Zhiwei's doubts, she also didn't let her ask anything untoward. Upon learning that Feng Zhiwei was to depart for Minhai soon, Qiu Mingying was extremely flustered. She wondered what kind of person Duke Min was; if Feng Zhiwei went, she would surely face extreme danger.
After some persuasion from Feng Zhiwei, Qiu Mingying finally assented to the matter. But she brought up the vow Feng Zhiwei had once made: a vow not to fall in love with Ning Yi in this lifetime. Ning Yi was worried about Qiu Mingying, so he ordered Ning Cheng to keep a close eye on her. Xin Ziyan was displeased that Ning Yi had disrupted his plan.
He had originally intended to send Ning Qi to Minhai, forcing Duke Min to rebel and kill Ning Qi, allowing Ning Yi to reap the benefits. But Ning Yi refused, because he did not want Duke Min to rebel, nor did he want the people of Tiansheng to suffer terribly! Upon hearing this, Xin Ziyan had nothing more to say.
