Wang Kunwu believed that since Yule Hall had frequent interactions with the White-Clad Guest while Sifang Hall had no awareness of it, they must have missed many crucial clues. He instructed Yuchi Hua to review the previous information and they discovered a map of Yule Hall. Both Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua had previously stationed themselves at Yule Hall, and they found that the map was inaccurate; it was missing a wall.
The White-Clad Guest stealthily infiltrated Yule Hall, where Kang Yunhai reproached him for not showing respect. The White-Clad Guest suspected that Kang Yunhai had saved Duo Mi twice. Kang Yunhai denied it and suggested that the Faceless Man and Yule Hall conduct self-checks. After the White-Clad Guest left, Kang Yunhai instructed his subordinates to closely monitor Ma Zhiwen and report any unusual behavior immediately.
When Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua arrived at Yule Hall, they encountered the White-Clad Guest who was preparing to leave. A duel ensued, with Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua cornering the White-Clad Guest. Suddenly, a woman across from them shot an arrow. Yuchi Hua shielded Wang Kunwu, who turned around quickly, giving the White-Clad Guest the opportunity to escape. Wang Kunwu hurriedly carried Yuchi Hua back to the Yuchi residence.
The Duke of Eguo was heartbroken and reproached Wang Kunwu, saying he did not deserve Yuchi Hua's affection. Wang Kunwu stayed by Yuchi Hua's bedside, taking care of her. He confessed to the unconscious Yuchi Hua that he had long been in love with her but felt unworthy due to his unresolved vendetta and low status. A Shu and A Shilan spent the day strolling in the streets. That evening, they reminisced about their childhood, reflecting on their past experiences.
While Ji Mingli was handling foreign lodgings, Yuan Mo overheard a merchant from the Mu Yun Sha caravan, who had come from Yule Hall, and inquired about their arrival date in Dayong. Yuan Mo realized it did not match the lodging A Shilan had shown him, so he rushed to A Shu's residence. Wang Kunwu noticed Yuan Mo’s suspicious behavior and arrived early.
Yuan Mo tried to conceal the situation, but when Wang Kunwu mentioned that Yuchi Hua had been injured because of it, Yuan Mo had to reveal A Shu’s true identity. Shortly afterward, A Shilan came alone to Sifang Hall seeking refuge, claiming to be the Yule Princess. Ji Mingli hurriedly informed Yuan Mo. Yuan Mo was shocked when Ji Mingli revealed A Shilan’s name. Yu Deshui urgently reported to An Yuandao.
Wang Kunwu and Yuan Mo first questioned A Shilan about her true intentions, including how she escaped from the Yule Palace and arrived in Dayong. A Shilan’s account matched A Shu’s exactly, including details about being saved by Yuan Hanqing and his wife. Yuan Mo remained skeptical until A Shilan revealed the red-butterfly tattoo on her ankle, which was identical to A Shu’s. Yuan Mo stopped questioning further. Wang Kunwu suspected Yuan Mo had personal motives.
Since someone was willing to impersonate the Yule Princess, A Shu was temporarily safe. Yuan Mo explained that he just wanted to see A Shilan’s true motives and had not exposed her in person. After a long discussion, Honglu Temple had no suitable solution regarding the Yule Princess’s protection, and An Yuandao believed that Honglu Temple should not intervene until the situation was clarified. Therefore, the investigation was left to Sifang Hall.
A Shu confronted A Shilan about why she was impersonating the princess. Initially, A Shilan denied the impersonation. When A Shu showed her red-butterfly tattoo, A Shilan admitted she was acting on someone’s orders—the person who had sent A Shu to Huangsha Village. This person had instructed A Shilan to impersonate the princess in order to ensure A Shu's safety in Dayong.
When A Shu asked about the whereabouts of this person, A Shilan suggested it was better not to inquire, as it would be safer for both parties. Yu Deshui asked about the investigation results. Wang Kunwu said that apart from the red-butterfly tattoo on the ankle, there was no additional evidence. An Xiuyi believed that regardless of whether A Shilan was the Yule Princess or not, as long as she could be used by Dayong, it was fine.
They planned to support A Shilan as long as Long Tuqi stayed in the desert, but if Long Tuqi attacked Dayong, they would use the Yule Princess’s identity as leverage. Yuan Mo thought An Xiuyi was heartless and believed that the most important thing was to guard against any actions from Yule Hall. Kang Yunhai soon arrived at Sifang Hall demanding the Yule Princess. Yu Deshui stated that they had not yet confirmed the authenticity of the identity and had already sent the impostor away.
