As the day of the women’s conferring titles approached, Mei Lin heard that the ten women with wrist injuries would be allowed to return to Xiyan. However, this news brought mixed emotions; A Yi was happy because her loved one was waiting for her in Xiyan, but A Ga, who had long lost her family, had no home to return to. The three of them sheltered from the rain under the corridor, imagining their future.

Mei Lin tasted osmanthus cake and was overjoyed when her sense of taste returned. She rushed out into the rain to find Murong Jinghe, but unfortunately, the Emperor had ordered all the women to remain confined in the Honglu Temple. Yue Qin discovered that the women's burns were related to Prince Jing and concluded that these women had become pawns in the Dayan succession battle. He sent someone to pass a message to Zi Gu at Fanghua Palace.

The Emperor was troubled by Murong Jinghe's romantic affairs, thinking that if Mei Lin were present, Yin Luomei would surely not choose Murong Jinghe. Zi Gu took the opportunity to ask Murong Qian to assign Mei Lin to Fanghua Palace, both to elevate Mei Lin’s status and repay her kindness, and also to test Prince Jing’s feelings for her. Yue Qin later personally came to the Eastern Palace bearing gifts, intending to forge an alliance.

Murong Xuanlie shifted all the blame for the Xiyan spy group to his subordinates and even demanded that Yue Qin silence the ten Xiyan women. Only by doing so could Yue Qin prove his loyalty. Knowing the depth of the Crown Prince’s scheming, Yue Qin had no choice but to agree, stating that he wanted to live a different life.

On the day of the women’s conferring of titles, Murong Jinghe rose early and instructed his subordinates to pick up Mei Lin later in the day. Qing Yan noticed that his master had been acting strangely in the past two days, but the maid who had served the late Empress could see that Murong Jinghe had someone in his heart, thinking of her day and night. Meanwhile, the ten women were sentenced to be sent back to Xiyan.

Mei Lin personally saw them off, but noticed that the Eastern Palace’s secret guards had infiltrated the Xiyan delegation. At that moment, an imperial decree arrived at Honglu Temple, selecting Mei Lin to serve Zi Gu in Fanghua Palace. Mei Lin, concerned about the safety of the Xiyan delegation, hurried after them but was too late. The ten women had already been poisoned to death.

The sight of her former close sisters brutally murdered left Mei Lin heartbroken and unable to accept it. She stormed into Prince Jing’s residence on horseback, angrily accusing him of dragging innocent people into the conflict, leading to their deaths. Mei Lin thought Murong Jinghe's tactics were despicable, but Murong Jinghe argued that their enemy was the Crown Prince, and court politics were no less brutal than the battlefield, where victory is the only thing that matters.

The two couldn’t agree, and Mei Lin couldn’t accept Murong Jinghe’s viewpoint, leading to a breakup as she declared that they would no longer walk the same path. The next morning, Murong Jinghe found white powder on the table at the inn and confirmed it was the unique Xiyan breath-stopping pill. He and Qing Yan chased after the Xiyan delegation’s caravan and found that the ten women were alive and well.

Yue Qin, knowing he couldn’t hide the truth any longer, asked Murong Jinghe to deliver a letter to Mei Lin to explain everything. Zi Gu told Mei Lin that Prince Jing had requested her during the conferring of titles, expecting a major commotion, but it had been surprisingly quiet. Just as she finished speaking, Murong Jinghe arrived at Fanghua Palace to see Mei Lin, handing her Yue Qin's letter and stating that he had never intended to harm the women.

Mei Lin knew that Murong Jinghe didn’t mean to hurt anyone, but she pointed out that he had never considered the lives of these people. She bluntly told him that since they had parted ways, he no longer needed to pretend to be a deeply affectionate prince. The Emperor summoned Murong Jinghe and ordered him to stop seeing Mei Lin, urging him to focus on choosing a lifelong partner.

Yin Luomei was summoned to the palace as well, where the Emperor hinted at matchmaking her with Murong Jinghe. Yin Luomei suggested leaving the marriage decision to the upcoming spring hunt, where she would marry the winner. Since Murong Jinghe had won the spring hunt every year, the Emperor immediately noticed Yin Luomei’s affection for him and was overjoyed, promising to issue a decree for their marriage after the hunt.

Alone in the palace, Mei Lin reflected on Murong Jinghe’s words and opened the gift he had sent her. Inside were lampfruit cakes, a stone hairpin, and a portrait of her. She began to wonder what kind of person Prince Jing truly was. Zi Gu, thinking that Mei Lin was troubled by Prince Jing’s persistence, took her to the pond. There, she folded the portrait into a forget-worry flower and placed it on the water.

She said that as long as the flower drifted away, Mei Lin would never have to see him again. However, the paper flower was picked up by Murong Jinghe.
