Wang Kunwu and Yuchi Hua went to Ah Fu’s house to search for clues. When they handled the permits, they noticed green stains on Wang Kunwu’s hand. Suddenly, they remembered helping Qing Er's mother wash clothes earlier, which had dyed their hands. Realizing the connection, they hurried back to Qing Er's house. There, they found the old woman poisoned and unconscious, and Ah Fu’s body hidden in the wardrobe.

At that moment, they finally realized that Qing Er was the White-Clad Guest. Just as they were about to leave to pursue him, they were surrounded by faceless men. Arrows rained down on them, but soon the chaos subsided. They then saw An Xiuyi and Lin Fuyin standing at the door, having arrived with soldiers to subdue the faceless men.

An Xiuyi explained that after calming down and carefully analyzing the permits signed by Ji Mingli, he noticed the handwriting was very similar to Qing Er’s. He also recalled someone mentioning that on the day of the Lantern Festival, Qing Er had helped sell maps, which made him realize that Ji Mingli had been wrongly accused.

Wang Kunwu and Lin Fuyin left to prepare wanted posters of the White-Clad Guest, while An Xiuyi told Yuchi Hua that after Lin Susu sacrificed herself to save him, he finally understood what true love was. He wished Yuchi Hua and Wang Kunwu happiness together and assured them he would no longer interfere.

After finding the letter of alliance, A Shu treated Yuan Mo to a good meal, repeatedly reminding him of little details about taking care of himself, as if she were about to leave. After dinner, when they returned to the Princess's residence, A Shu mentioned she needed to retrieve something from the Yan Zhi Pavilion, and told Yuan Mo, along with Third Lady and Fourth Lady, to wait outside.

However, A Shu never came back out, and after a long wait, Yuan Mo rushed into the shop, only to find the back door wide open. The shopkeeper claimed to have never seen A Shu. A Shu was walking alone down a secluded street when she was quickly spotted and captured by Yi Yi, who brought her before the White-Clad Guest.

A Shu immediately proposed a deal: she would give the White-Clad Guest the blood-signed letter of alliance in exchange for his help in eliminating Long Tuqi. The White-Clad Guest suspected that A Shu wanted to avenge Kang Yunhai and was playing tricks. A Shu explained that bestowing posthumous honor upon Kang Yunhai was her way of repaying him, but the most pressing issue was dealing with Long Tuqi.

Since only the White-Clad Guest had the power to rival him, A Shu proposed they work together. The White-Clad Guest, sensing A Shu’s sincerity, agreed and prepared to take the blood-signed letter. As he removed the dagger from A Shu’s body, a cloud of smoke suddenly filled the air—it was a poison powder A Shu had prepared. Unfortunately, the White-Clad Guest had long since developed immunity to all poisons.

Yi Yi quickly restrained A Shu, but Yuan Mo suddenly barged into the room holding a torch and the blood-signed letter. He offered to exchange the letter for A Shu. The White-Clad Guest agreed, and as A Shu was pushed back toward Yuan Mo, Third Lady and Fourth Lady on the roof began pouring large amounts of gunpowder into the room. Yuan Mo threw the torch onto the White-Clad Guest, and the room erupted into flames, allowing them to escape.

After the fire was extinguished, they only found a female corpse, and the White-Clad Guest had once again escaped. Yuan Mo was disappointed that the blood-signed letter had been destroyed in the fire, but A Shu reassured him that she had already memorized the names. The Jingzhao Prefecture soon posted wanted posters of the White-Clad Guest and began a city-wide search. A Shu finally sent off Kang Yunhai with a proper ceremony, burning his body and returning his ashes to Yule.

However, she lamented that she hadn’t been able to personally kill the White-Clad Guest. Back at the Princess's residence, A Shu was preparing to rest when Third Lady informed her that Yuan Mo had been waiting for a long time. When A Shu saw Yuan Mo, he questioned why she had gone to meet the White-Clad Guest alone. If not for the help of the hunting dog, she would have been killed.

A Shu explained that she couldn't let a chance for revenge slip by; too many people had died because of her. If she hadn't hidden in Huangsha Village all those years ago, the village wouldn’t have been massacred, and Ashilan and Kang Yunhai might still be alive and happy today. Therefore, she couldn't continue living passively. Yuan Mo realized that A Shu had already decided to return to Yule.

A few days later, news arrived from Yule that the puppet monarch supported by Long Tuqi had suddenly died. Long Tuqi sent a letter to Dayong requesting the princess’s return to discuss important matters. Honglu Temple received the letter and sought Yuan Mo’s opinion. Yuan Mo expressed that both publicly and privately, he hoped Dayong would continue to protect A Shu.

However, as the only remaining member of the Yule royal family, A Shu had a responsibility to return to Yule and save the people from their suffering. A Shu soon arrived at Honglu Temple, announcing her decision to return to Yule. With her mind set, no one dared to stop her. As winter set in, the weather grew colder, and more refugees poured in. A Shu’s supplies of cotton clothes and bedding were far from sufficient to distribute. An elderly woman mentioned that Long Tuqi allowed officials to exploit the people, forcing many to flee to Dayong as refugees.
