Wu Zhushi was worried that Yan Xing's candid remarks might anger Lai Luozhi. Unexpectedly, Princess Yong’an arrived suddenly, praising Yan Xing's wisdom but requesting that the Ministry of Justice and Shen Du and his wife refrain from further probing into the Chen Huo E case. The princess also suggested a marriage alliance between Yan Caiwei and Han Shiyuan to quell the unrest. Yan Xing did not respond on the spot, and the princess left first.

Wu Zhushi was astonished, and Yan Xing sensed something was amiss. Lu Chuichui also advised her to stay out of the situation, but Yan Xing was troubled by doubts. At this moment, Zhang Baohuan also hurriedly visited Yan Xing. It seemed everyone was tacitly hoping she would stay away from the turmoil. Wu Zhushi was particularly anxious, believing the Ministry of Justice’s affairs were too unpredictable, and strongly urged Yan Xing not to get into trouble.

During her meeting with Zhang Baohuan, Yan Xing learned that Zhang Baohuan had come to inquire about Han Shiyuan’s safety. However, she discovered that Han Shiyuan had not returned home, and Zhang Baohuan speculated that Han Shiyuan was deliberately avoiding contact. Yan Xing’s mind was clouded with suspicion, and the situation appeared increasingly convoluted, as if an invisible net was trying to isolate her. Yan Xing then visited Yan Caiwei.

Through their silent exchange, Yan Xing attempted to probe into the subtle relationship between Han Shiyuan and Princess Yong’an, but Han Shiyuan avoided the topic. Upon returning home, her mother mentioned Shen Du’s generous gifts and reminded Yan Xing to keep an eye on Shen Du’s movements. Meanwhile, Shen Du sought to take over the Chen Huo E case in front of the Empress Dowager but harbored suspicions that there might be hidden truths behind the case.

With Xu Wan’s help, Shen Du was determined to uncover the truth. The Empress Dowager agreed and handed over the matter of Hongwen Pavilion to Zhang Xiang. Princess Yong’an returned, displeased to learn that Zhang Xiang had taken over Hongwen Pavilion, while Xiao Zhong secretly rejoiced. Zhang Xiang intended to support Shen Du, but Xiao Zhong pretended not to understand. Seeing this, Zhang Xiang had no choice but to abandon the idea and began plotting his next move.

As night fell, Yan Xing was about to act discreetly when Shen Du caught her. She was curious about the Chen Huo E case and was delighted to learn that Shen Du had been assigned to investigate it. Yan Xing eagerly helped Shen Du with his work, hoping to participate in the investigation. Shen Du felt somewhat resigned to Yan Xing’s clumsiness but also appreciated the warmth in her awkwardness.

At dinner, Yan Xing showcased her culinary skills, trying to win Shen Du’s consent with delicious food. However, a metaphor about preserving corpses killed Shen Du’s appetite. Yan Xing insisted on participating in the case, and although Shen Du initially refused for her safety, he was eventually moved by her determination and handed over the token. The next morning, Yan Xing rushed to Chen’s residence with the token.

The manor was quiet, and the steward revealed that Chen Shoujie had gone mad after his wife’s murder, frequently muttering “fire” and “moths. ” Yan Xing discovered remnants from Jinxiu Fang in a high place in the manor, suspecting that Chen Shoujie’s “Chen Huo E” might be the key to the case. Back at the Ministry of Justice, Wu Zhushi discreetly changed Yan Xing’s seat to keep her out of danger.

Lu Chuichui was indignant and warned Yan Xing to be cautious. Yan Xing continued her investigation and found many inconsistencies in the Jinxiu Fang case from the third year of the Shengli era. The case, which had been labeled as treason due to a mistake in embroidery, had led to the ruin of the entire Jinxiu Fang family and caused Princess Runing to sever ties with the royal family.

The case files were vague, suggesting a deeper secret behind the case. Meanwhile, Pan Chi was preparing for the imperial examination and refused to associate with candidates who received Princess Yong’an’s support, believing Zhang Xiang intended to buy people’s hearts. Unexpectedly, Pan Chi was kidnapped but remained steadfast under duress. In a critical moment, Princess Yong’an’s subordinates and Shen Du arrived one after another, launching a fierce rescue operation.

Shen Du, with his extraordinary martial skills and sharp instincts, resolved the crisis, but the unseen hand behind the scenes seemed unrelenting, and a larger storm was quietly brewing.
