Ning Yi looked at the drizzling rain with some worry, wondering where the homeless little civet cat could hide. He returned to the hall feeling dejected, but was finally relieved to find Feng Zhiwei sleeping soundly on his couch. Gu Yan suddenly appeared; it turned out he had been waiting there for Ning Yi all along. Besides him, no one could take in Feng Zhiwei.
Gu Yan and Ning Yi's first encounter was also on such a rainy night, when the eight-year-old Ning Yi was aggressive, forcing Gu Yan to betray Dacheng and Gu Heng. Ning Yi knew he felt guilty, but then Gu Yan suddenly knelt down, saying that if Ning Yi could ensure the safety of Gu Heng's widow and children, all past grievances between them would be cleared. Ning Yi agreed.
Gu Yan then continued to express his loyalty, but Ning Yi helped him up. " What will you use to show your loyalty? Join him, and overthrow the Crown Prince." Gu Yan's kneeling ultimately worked. Ning Yi murmured, "Good. . ." Ning Yi stayed by Feng Zhiwei's bed all night, wondering what she would do if she one day learned about the hatred between them. Feng Zhiwei woke up, muttering to herself, "Didn't I already leave Prince Chu's Residence?"
Ning Yi, however, tricked her, claiming she had never left Prince Chu's Residence, that she was just too tired and fell asleep. Feng Zhiwei was half-skeptical, but suddenly smelled the lingering scent of Qiu Yuluo incense on Ning Yi. Exposed, Ning Yi immediately left. Feng Zhiwei chased him out but was stopped. Before leaving, Ning Yi asked her for a personal item; it was the bracelet Qiu Shangqi gave Feng Zhiwei when she first entered the Qiu Residence.
Zhu Yin brought the bracelet to invite Qiu Shangqi, who reluctantly followed her to Lanxiang Garden, where he saw Ning Yi and Gu Yan. Although the three of them had their own agendas, their desire to save Qiu Mingying was genuine. They had to make the Crown Prince and Chang Hai aware of Qiu Mingying's true identity, but without explicitly stating it. Therefore, Ning Yi took out the letter found on Qiu Mingying, which was written by the Fifth Concubine.
Qiu Shangqi was greatly surprised and could only ask Gu Yan to testify. Gu Yan also stated that he was present when Qiu Mingying gave birth, and she undoubtedly delivered twins, a boy and a girl. To protect the lives of Qiu Mingying and her two children, Gu Yan asked Ning Yi to destroy the letter. Unexpectedly, Ning Yi claimed that he intended to use this letter precisely to save the lives of Qiu Mingying and her two children.
Trapped in Ning Yi's room all day, Feng Zhiwei thought of every possible escape method, but none were successfully executed. That night, Gu Yan falsely claimed there was a fire to distract the people from the Eastern Palace, then went alone to see the Crown Prince, frantically claiming that Ning Yi had found the Dacheng orphan. The Crown Prince, as if in a frenzy, kicked him down the stairs.
However, Gu Yan climbed back up, putting on the appearance of a loyal minister, and requested to persuade Qiu Mingying himself, asking her to testify that the Dacheng orphan was dead. Eighteen years had passed, and Gu Yan finally met his only relative, his elder sister-in-law, Qiu Mingying. Qiu Mingying remained silent; she could not utter a single word to such a despicable person. Gu Yan earnestly pleaded, asking Qiu Mingying to comply with the Crown Prince's wishes.
Qiu Mingying still remained silent. Gu Yan could only get up and leave, leading the guards to the door, but then he suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Qiu Mingying, and then unfolded a small piece of paper he had been holding in his hand. On it was written, "Safe and sound." There were many guards watching Feng Zhiwei outside her door. No matter how she tried to talk to them, they ignored her.
She forcefully tried to rush out but was surrounded. She used threats, enticements, and coaxing, but the guards remained unmoved. Ning Cheng appeared at this moment. It turned out these guards were all deaf. Feng Zhiwei was furious and threatened to go on a hunger strike out of anger. The Crown Prince's carriage was moving smoothly on the road when it suddenly caused a great disturbance.
Upon learning that Xue Futu had set an ambush ahead, the Crown Prince immediately ordered his men to turn back to the palace. Xin Ziyan advised the Crown Prince that it was better to remain still than to act at this moment, and to firmly hold onto Ning Yi's weakness. At this point, Gu Yan came to report that he had persuaded Qiu Mingying. Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince arranged for him to kill Qiu Mingying and Feng Hao.
Gu Yan and Xin Ziyan, working together, then convinced the Crown Prince to change his mind. The Fifth Concubine of the Qiu Residence might have been killed by Feng Zhiwei. If her mother was indeed killed, who knows what great waves that would stir up. The Crown Prince went to the Qiu Residence to inquire about the Fifth Concubine's cause of death and found that Prince Zhao was also there.
Qiu Shangqi claimed the Fifth Concubine died of a sudden illness. Unexpectedly, the next second, Ning Yi also arrived at the Qiu Residence, stating he had something to discuss with Qiu Shangqi and Prince Zhao. The Crown Prince was somewhat confused, so he left the Qiu Residence with Ning Yi. Ning Yi timidly expressed his worries, revealing that Gu Heng's widow was actually Qiu Shangqi's biological younger sister.
After learning this news, he had ordered people to watch her closely all day, but somehow, she still went missing. He was pondering whether he should report this to the Tiansheng Emperor. The Crown Prince left Ning Yi behind, intending to find Xin Ziyan. Within the screen, Prince Zhao presented Xin Ziyan with a piece of calligraphy.
