Once the coup was quelled, the Lord of Yongzhou issued an order to confer the title of Hereditary Prince, and the Marquis of Yongping was undoubtedly the best candidate. Through this ordeal, the Lord realized how foolish he had been and, speaking as a father, earnestly advised his son: when ruling Yongzhou, he must be wary of ambitious forces from other states and always prioritize the people.

After finishing the conversation with his father, Hei Fengxi seized the moment to propose to Bai Fengxi. He expressed that with her by his side, he had seen much beauty in the world and wished to spend the rest of his life with her. At court that day, Hei Fengxi was officially named the Hereditary Prince of Yongzhou. He took Bai Fengxi to the ancestral hall to pay respects to his late mother.

In front of the late queen's memorial, Bai Fengxi swore to protect Lanxi with her life and never let him come to harm. Now that everything had settled, Hei Fengxi began preparing for their wedding and reminded her that once she made her choice, she must never regret it. The two exchanged knowing smiles and embraced sweetly. Originally, Bai Fengxi was to stay in Yongzhou. However, unforeseen events struck—urgent news arrived from Qingzhou: the Youzhou army was attacking.

Although Feng Xieyue was holding the line, the King of Qing was gravely ill and feared he had little time left. Feng Xieyue hoped his sister would return quickly, and Bai Fengxi, deeply worried, did not notice that Hei Fengxi had overheard the conversation nearby. That night, Bai Fengxi personally cooked for Hei Fengxi, preparing delicate pastries. Under the moonlight, she prayed for his future happiness and peace for the people of Yongzhou.

Hei Fengxi noticed she was different than usual and, reflecting on the day’s events, could easily guess the reason for her mood. Hei Fengxi had believed his own background was already mysterious enough, yet was surprised to learn that Bai Fengxi’s origins were even more remarkable. He brought up the promise he made during the mountaintop oath—that no matter what happened, they would face it together.

Naturally, when Bai Fengxi faced danger, he would not turn a blind eye and decided to go with her to Qingzhou. Moved, Bai Fengxi agreed, and they set off immediately, eventually arriving in Qingzhou. After seeing her brother, she went to visit her father, only to find that the King of Qing’s illness was worse than imagined.

The King was overjoyed to see his daughter, but warned that Youzhou and Jizhou were attacking jointly, and he feared Feng Xieyue would not match Huang Chao. Bai Fengxi promised to help her brother defend Qingzhou. Returning home also made Bai Fengxi feel deep guilt. She had spent too much time traveling and neglected her aging father, only learning of his illness after a year. Feng Xieyue comforted her, urging her to focus on the war.

The siblings discussed their plans—Bai Fengxi would remain in the palace to handle state affairs, while Feng Xieyue would lead the army and promised to return safely, certain of victory. Meanwhile, Huang Chao was arranging military deployments in the rear. Despite the defeat of Youzhou’s vanguard, he remained calm. Under his scheme, the Lord of Youzhou had feigned an attack on Langcheng, angering Hua Chunran, who believed the Golden Cavalry could easily crush the city.

Huang Chao explained that the time wasn’t right—storming Langcheng would compromise the surprise attack on Qingzhou. Only by deceiving the enemy into letting their guard down could they lure them deep into the trap. Moreover, Hei Fengxi had become the Hereditary Prince of Yongzhou and was still looking for an opportunity to undermine Qingzhou. Yu Wuyuan revealed that Qingzhou was not only defended by Feng Xieyue, but also by the famed Princess Feng Xiyun.

Learning that the Hereditary Prince of Yongzhou had traveled there as Bai Fengxi’s beloved, the King of Qing summoned him to the palace to judge his daughter’s choice. Hei Fengxi and Bai Fengxi were famous in the martial world, and the King was quite satisfied with what he saw. However, he had heard rumors that Hei Fengxi liked to bully people, so he made one request: that Hei Fengxi never bully his daughter again.

In truth, the King of Qing also hoped the young couple could truly love each other with open hearts. Though they came from different realms, with shared purpose, they could overcome anything. While national duty was important, one must also make time for family—or risk lifelong regret. That was the King’s heartfelt advice to the younger generation.

Back in Qingzhou’s military camp, General Xu reported to Feng Xieyue that although the Lord of Youzhou had lost his vanguard, the elite Golden Cavalry had yet to appear. They suspected a major offensive was imminent. Huang Chao and Yu Wuyuan were both at the Youzhou base, and now two more divisions were attacking Qingzhou, less than a mile from the city gates.

Feng Xiyue ordered General Xu to escort the civilians to Licheng and decided to personally lead the charge. But treachery is hard to guard against. Yu Wuyuan had already laid an ambush, aiming to kill Feng Xieyue. As expected, a poisoned arrow was loosed. Feng Xieyue could not evade it and died from the poison. The terrible news and Feng Xieyue’s body were returned to Qingzhou. Bai Fengxi was devastated but forced herself to face her father.

The King of Qing, having heard of the tragedy, gave her his final instructions: after his death, she was to inherit the throne and become the second queen of the Dadong Dynasty. Because Feng Xieyue had died in battle, Qingzhou now bore deep hatred toward both Jizhou and Youzhou. With the world heading into chaos, Bai Fengxi had no choice but to rise to the occasion.
