Mei Lin deliberately dropped a bottle containing the antidote, making Murong Xuanlie believe the King of Jing’s plan had failed. She then faced Wang Quan and other skilled fighters from the Eastern Palace alone. Though her strength was waning, she persevered for half an hour, blood dripping down her face and into the water, repeatedly telling herself not to fall. Meanwhile, Zi Gu burned the medicine on her arm with candle fire, anxiously hoping for the Emperor to wake up soon.

Murong Jinghe awoke to learn the leech had died, sinking into despair, knowing only snow dragon beard could counter the Mo Vein poison. Murong Xuanlie did not intend to take Mei Lin's life; he initially tried persuading her to stop. However, Mei Lin, filled with rage, ultimately jumped into the freezing river to escape. When Murong Jinghe learned that Mei Lin was being pursued by the Crown Prince, he immediately plunged into the river to rescue her unconscious body.

Due to her injuries and the effects of the Mo Vein poison, Mei Lin couldn’t wake up right away. Murong Jinghe, not wanting to risk her life any further, decided it was time to make a choice to ensure her safety. Meanwhile, Murong Xuanlie ordered a continued search for Mei Lin and was about to go to Yanming Hall when he received news that the Crown Princess had fainted.

Yin Luomei, standing before her father’s memorial tablet, felt an intense inner struggle. She recalled how, at fifteen, she had followed her father to the battlefield, vowing to be loyal and protect the people of Dayan. Now, however, she had killed her own, caught between her duty and her unbreakable feelings for Murong Xuanlie, deeply pained by her dilemma.

Murong Xuanlie accompanied Luomei in the shrine, chanting prayers for blessings, while secretly ordering Consort Yan to be placed under house arrest and surrounding Yanming Hall to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. With no other options left, Murong Jinghe gathered all his people to prepare an assault on the city to rescue the Emperor. However, before this, Murong Jinghe needed to ensure Mei Lin’s survival.

He was willing to sign a confession as leverage in exchange for the snow dragon beard seeds in the Crown Prince’s possession. He handed the seeds to Yue Qin, instructing him to escort Mei Lin out of Dayan. Yue Qin requested that Mei Lin return to Xiyan as a lesser consort, and although it pained Murong Jinghe, he reluctantly agreed. When Mei Lin regained consciousness, she found herself in a hidden chamber dedicated to honoring the soldiers of the North.

Shortly afterward, Murong Jinghe entered and revealed himself as the head of the Secret Bureau. He coldly stated that she was a lost cause to him and that his collaboration with her was solely for the medallion. Even his time with her in Laowo Village, he claimed, was an act, denying he had ever loved her. Mei Lin refused to believe this, repeatedly questioning him, only for Murong Jinghe to push her away, causing her stone hairpin to fall and shatter.

Murong Jinghe then told her his night sweats were not from a fever but from the effects of the Mo Vein poison. Just as he was about to kill Mei Lin, Yue Qin intervened and took her away. In that moment, memories of their past together flooded both their minds, filling them with unbearable sorrow.

As Mei Lin boarded a carriage, she saw the Eastern Palace’s men surrounding the King of Jing’s residence, realizing that Murong Jinghe had acted this way to protect her. She tried to get out to rescue him, but Yue Qin had already placed a sedative in the incense, causing her to fall unconscious in the carriage. Meanwhile, Murong Jinghe was sentenced to a severe punishment for allegedly conspiring with Liu Zhong to harm the Emperor.

Crown Prince Murong Xuanlie gathered the ministers, planning to execute Jinghe at noon. Murong Jinghe directly confronted Xuanlie, exposing him as the true mastermind. Qing Yan arrived with his forces, and a fierce battle broke out. At this critical moment, Murong Jinghe’s forces sounded the war drums, confident that as long as a shred of loyalty remained in Yin Luomei’s heart, she would respond.

Just as he predicted, upon hearing the drums, Luomei remembered her father’s teachings and her purpose on the battlefield. To preserve the honor and loyalty of her family, she donned her armor and headed out to join this fierce battle.
