Helian Zheng regretted it. He still hoped to stay by Feng Zhiwei's side, which was why he came to the Tiansheng Imperial Capital, to persuade her to return to Jinshi with him, just like before. Feng Zhiwei knew it was impossible for them, so she advised him to leave the Imperial Capital quickly. Helian Zheng could only humbly plead to stay by Feng Zhiwei's side for a month, after which they would be strangers to each other.
Xin Ziyan advised Ning Ji to subdue the three tribes unwilling to submit to Ning Qi, stating that the Tiansheng Emperor intended to make him the Crown Prince. Ning Ji was greatly alarmed. He had never been interested in the struggle for the crown, and besides, Ning Qi and Ning Yi were both his elder brothers, so why would he be made the Crown Prince?
Xin Ziyan became anxious and said that Ning Qi intended to rebel and usurp the throne. Ning Ji understood, but he was absolutely unwilling to take the position of Crown Prince, so he asked Xin Ziyan to find a way to bring Ning Yi back, as he was the Tiansheng Emperor's best candidate. Yue Ling left the palace under the pretext of praying for the Tiansheng Emperor to meet Changsun Hong.
When they met again, their identities were no longer as they once were. Changsun Hong felt both guilt and gratitude towards her. No matter who Yue Ling was, she was the love of his life. Yue Ling only hoped that Changsun Hong could achieve his desires, and she would be content.
After a brief embrace with Changsun Hong, Yue Ling came before the Buddha to make a wish: that Changsun Hong would achieve his desires, and that after it was accomplished, she would dedicate her life to Buddhism. Yue Ling called over the guards who had accompanied her out of the palace. A group of people suddenly darted out and killed those guards, then disguised themselves as Yue Ling's guards and entered the palace with her.
Ning Yi entered the imperial palace and met the Tiansheng Emperor. He referred to himself as a commoner. The Tiansheng Emperor seemed angry. When he turned around, Ning Yi noticed that he was no longer as radiant as before. The Tiansheng Emperor told Ning Yi, "Your father is still alive." Ning Yi lightly chuckled, "My father is still alive? I didn't even know this father. Did he ever love me. . ." Feng Zhiwei arrived at the private slave market.
Everyone called her "Young Mistress", which made her a bit flustered and scared, so she quickly went to find Changsun Hong. Changsun Hong was secretly plotting important matters with several elders. Feng Zhiwei rushed in, thinking, "How many more things is he hiding from me?" Before the elders left, they told Feng Zhiwei that Changsun Hong did not have much time left. Family banquet. Ning Ji, Ning Yi, and Ning Qi toasted the Tiansheng Emperor.
The Tiansheng Emperor told them to voice all their grievances. Ning Yi lightly chuckled again, "Indeed, it is the imperial family. My mother consort has just died, and the Tiansheng Emperor is already favoring Yue Ling. How can one not feel disheartened?" The Tiansheng Emperor was not angered, and Yue Ling's expression remained as usual. Feng Zhiwei saw Changsun Hong's ambition.
She hoped her brother could let go of these hatreds, explaining that the world is vast, and anywhere can be home. Changsun Hong was unwilling. " Zong Fuzi, Qiu Mingying, Feng Hao, Gu Yan, and countless vengeful spirits are all waiting for us to avenge them. Where is their home?" The Tiansheng Emperor turned to ask Ning Qi. The latter had a grim expression, just like Ning Yi, as both their mothers' bodies were not yet cold.
This time, the Tiansheng Emperor was angered and asked Ning Qi what he had said that day in front of ChengmÃng Hall. Ning Qi said, "I will surely treat Ning Yi and Ning Ji well, and be brothers for life." Ning Qi told Ning Yi to observe three months of mourning for Wang Shi, and he would then abide by that day's oath. Ning Yi naturally agreed, because Wang Shi should not have died.
Not to mention three months of mourning, even three years would be enough. The Tiansheng Emperor was greatly pleased. Who knew Ning Yi would change the subject and demand that Ning Qi also provide an explanation for the death of his mother consort, Yue Le. The two were at a stalemate. The Tiansheng Emperor, feeling powerless, was about to collapse.
Ning Yi and Ning Ji immediately rushed to his side, while Ning Qi acted as if nothing was wrong, telling Yue Ling to help the Tiansheng Emperor back to rest. After the three princes left, Ning Qi, using his status as Crown Prince, demanded that Ning Yi, the commoner, kneel before him. Ning Yi scoffed. Yue Ling stated that the Tiansheng Emperor had summoned Ning Yi for a private conversation at that moment. Yue Ling also chased Zhao Yuan out.
Ning Yi entered the hall only to find the Tiansheng Emperor sound asleep, so he had to wait. Unexpectedly, outside the hall, a large army approached, standing behind Ning Qi and flaunting their power. The main hall was sealed, and no one could enter, while Ning Yi single-handedly resisted the assassins inside. The Prime Minister seemed about to leave, but Ning Qi stated that it was too late to leave now.
It turned out that Ning Qi, holding the imperial edict of succession, claimed Ning Yi was rebelling, which forced the Prime Minister to reluctantly join his scheme. Outside, Ning Qi forced the Prime Minister to say that the Tiansheng Emperor was dissatisfied with Ning Yi, which was why Ning Yi was attempting to usurp power. Zhao Yuan desperately forced his way into the hall, only to find the Tiansheng Emperor being assassinated by an intruder.
Before he passed away, the Tiansheng Emperor passed the throne to Ning Yi. Feng Zhiwei caressed Feng Hao's memorial tablet, pitying that Feng Hao could not enter the Dacheng Imperial Mausoleum, nor the Gu clan's ancestral temple. Past events flashed vividly before her eyes. Feng Zhiwei's entire life's nightmare originated from the Tiansheng Emperor; she wanted to kill him! Upon hearing this, Changsun Hong couldn't help but worry.
Once the Tiansheng Emperor was killed, then she and Ning Yi would have no possibility left. Feng Zhiwei had already known this outcome. There were already multiple lives separating them; love was impossible, only hateful separation. Ning Ji blocked the front of the hall, delaying Ning Qi's large army. Inside the hall, Ning Yi summoned the imperial physicians to save the Tiansheng Emperor. Ning Qi was determined to succeed or die trying: if anyone dared to obstruct, they would be killed.
