Upon learning about Xuan Lie's current condition, the king ordered the cancellation of the originally planned wedding, deciding to choose another auspicious date for the ceremony. At the same time, after a doctor examined Xuan Lie, it was concluded that he had simply fallen into a coma due to emotional distress and exhaustion. It was expected that after resting for a few hours, he would regain consciousness.

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhaomin rushed to the scene, shocked by the news of Jun Qiluo. Luo Qi, on the other hand, asked He Jiyao if anyone unusual had appeared today, speculating that the incident might have been related to Jun Qiluo's own scheming. He Jiyao remembered having encountered Dong Yin. When Xuan Lie woke from his coma, Jun Qiluo’s image appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with unbearable sorrow.

At this moment, Xuan Qingkou was demanding to see Xuan Lie. She firmly believed that only Xuan Lie would never deceive her and would genuinely help her find Qing Ming. However, the king coldly informed her that Jun Qiluo had fallen off a cliff and died, and that the servant who had accompanied her was also gone, never to return. Xuan Qingkou was struck speechless, stunned by this revelation. Meanwhile, Dong Yin was brought in to face Xuan Lie’s questioning.

He was equally shocked by the news of Jun Qiluo’s death. He admitted that he had indeed taken Jun Qiluo out, but she had insisted on leaving, and he had agreed. He hadn’t known that she would die as a result; otherwise, he would never have let her go. Dong Yin then presented a letter, claiming that it was Jun Qiluo’s final request for him to deliver to Xuan Lie.

He had originally planned to secretly leave it with Xuan Lie. With trembling hands, Xuan Lie opened Jun Qiluo's letter. In the letter, Jun Qiluo pleaded with him to release Dong Yin and stated that they should part ways forever, never to meet again.

After reading the letter, Xuan Lie’s heart was torn, but he suppressed his grief and ordered Dong Yin’s release, feeling that if he didn’t do so, he would have no face to meet Jun Qiluo in the afterlife. At the same time, Sun Zhaomin resolutely entered the palace, asking the king to rescind the royal decree and to send someone to summon Xuan Lie to the palace.

She firmly declared that, although Jun Qiluo was gone, the woman Xuan Lie had chosen as his wife would be her and no one else. She would never steal his love. Sun Zhaomin knew the king's intentions and was willing to give up the Sun family’s seal of authority and swear an oath of loyalty to the king in her father’s name.

Despite the devastating blow of Jun Qiluo's death, Xuan Lie, undeterred by his own safety, set out for the border, determined to resolve the chaos there. Meanwhile, Shao Qimin successfully rescued Jun Qiluo. After a doctor’s examination, it was revealed that Jun Qiluo was unharmed, though she was over a month pregnant. Shao Qimin, though shocked, was moved by Jun Qiluo’s resilience. After Jun Qiluo regained consciousness, she decided to no longer live as Jun Feifan.

She believed that anything Jun Feifan could do, she could do as well. Determined, she returned to the palace, expressing her loyalty to the king and revealing the truth behind the false pretense of helping him, which was actually an attempt to obtain the Xuantie Crystal. She begged the king to treat her family, who had died because of her, with kindness and pledged to improve Yan Nan's weaponry as a sign of her loyalty.

The king, upon hearing this, finally believed in Jun Qiluo’s loyalty and revealed that he had not truly killed her family; he had only forced her to reveal herself. Jun Qiluo then visited her family in prison, and they joyously reunited. The second branch of the family gave her cold remarks, but Jun Qiluo ignored them. The Duke was shocked by Jun Qiluo’s return. Xuan Lie, unwilling to attack Yan Nan, caused displeasure in the king.

The king believed that gathering the military forces of the five tribes was meant to wage war on Yan Nan, but Xuan Lie advocated for opening trade and resolving the issue through negotiation, feeling that making too many concessions in talks would be less effective than solving the problem through battle.
