Xuan Lie carefully prepared a lavish feast and invited Jun Qiluo to join him. Seeing the spread of delicacies, Jun Qiluo curiously asked if it was a special occasion. Xuan Lie smiled and explained that he simply wanted to be a good host and reassured her not to overthink it. After the meal, Xuan Lie and Luo Qi left together, as Xuan Lie expressed interest in exploring the royal city’s black market to find some rare items.

Luo Qi led Xuan Lie to the black market, but the bustling area became eerily empty upon Xuan Lie’s arrival. Luo Qi ordered the crowd to stay, while Xuan Lie asked if anyone sold red beans. Intimidated by his identity, no one dared to respond. Seeing this, Luo Qi asked Xuan Lie to step aside. Once Xuan Lie left, a shopkeeper nervously brought out the hidden red beans.

Xuan Lie later gifted Jun Qiluo a unique necklace made from Beixuan’s rare black jade and Yannan’s distinctive red beans. He personally put it around her neck, where it gleamed beautifully. Meanwhile, in the palace, Young Prince Yu and Young Prince Yi got into a heated argument that escalated into a fight. Young Prince Yu struck Young Prince Yi, who retaliated. Li Side Concubine hurried to the scene to stop the brawl.

Shortly after, the Queen arrived and sided with Young Prince Yu. Left with no choice, Li Side Concubine had Young Prince Yi apologize to Young Prince Yu. At this time, Luo Zhizhou appeared, bringing pastries from Xixiang to comfort Li Side Concubine. He promised to protect her and Young Prince Yi during the upcoming hunting event. Though Xuan Lie was the king’s favored candidate for the Wolf Lord position and his close brother, Luo Zhizhou assured her of his commitment.

Reflecting on his missed romance with Li Side Concubine, Luo Zhizhou felt a complex mix of emotions. Xuan Lie sat alone in a pavilion, holding a cup of wine and gazing into the distance. Jun Qiluo quietly approached and sat beside him. Xuan Lie shared that this pavilion was his father’s favorite place when he was alive. His father often spoke of the loneliness of power and urged Xuan Lie to self-reflect, hoping he wouldn’t follow the same path.

He recounted how his father had gifted him a golden silk armor, a cherished item from his childhood. Haunted by his parents’ deaths, Xuan Lie blamed himself, thinking that if he hadn’t taken the golden silk armor, his father might have survived. Gently comforting him, Jun Qiluo assured him that his father’s spirit would not hold him accountable. Xuan Lie then opened up, saying that since he had shared his secret, Jun Qiluo should share hers.

After a brief hesitation, Jun Qiluo revealed that she was the eldest daughter of the Jun family, not a maidservant. Xuan Lie, however, seemed unsurprised, as though he had known all along. Later, Xuan Lie invited Jun Qiluo to drink with him. Tipsy, he rested his head on her lap, murmuring about his exhaustion and wanting a moment of rest.

At dawn, Dong Yin and others came searching for them and were shocked to find Jun Qiluo nestled in Xuan Lie’s arms. Embarrassed, they woke up hurriedly, and Jun Qiluo explained it was merely an unintentional moment of reliance. Before parting, Xuan Lie gently draped his cloak over Jun Qiluo’s shoulders. In private, Dong Yin mused about the growing bond between Jun Qiluo and Xuan Lie, thinking it wouldn’t be long before she’d have to address Jun Qiluo as “madam.

” Jun Qiluo quickly denied it, clarifying that she and Xuan Lie were not destined to be together and asked Dong Yin to stop such talk. Elsewhere, the Xixiang delegation arrived. Hearing that Jun Qiluo had not returned, Jiang Juan worried that the second branch of the Jun family might seize the opportunity to gain an advantage. Disguising herself as a man under Jun Feifan’s name, she successfully negotiated a business deal with the Xixiang merchants, leaving them highly satisfied.

Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager summoned Li Side Concubine to discuss recent events, reassuring her that the Queen had reprimanded Young Prince Yu and urging her not to take it to heart. The Empress Dowager also treated her to Xixiang pastries and promised to find an archery tutor for Young Prince Yi during the hunting event.

Li Side Concubine saw this as a subtle warning and lamented the political scheming, feeling that if not for the Queen’s aggression, she wouldn’t have been drawn into such struggles. Jun Qiluo mentioned that she had acquired some Yannan seeds and wanted to plant them near fresh water. Hearing this, Xuan Lie offered to accompany her, as he had no pressing matters that day.
