Wang Quan led his men to block Murong Jinghe and his group, and a fierce battle ensued. Murong Jinghe fought Wang Quan directly to allow Qing Yan to reach Yanming Hall. After an intense struggle, Wang Quan was killed, and Murong Jinghe and Qing Yan successfully delivered the medicine to Yanming Hall. However, the medicinal incense needed half an hour to take effect.

The Imperial Guard Commander arrived with his troops, but Murong Jinghe, using the Emperor as leverage, ordered them to surround the area without attacking, which the Commander agreed to. Unfortunately, Crown Prince Murong Xuanlie soon arrived and executed the Commander on the spot. Already in poor health and now injured, Murong Jinghe was no match for Xuanlie. As Qing Yan sustained severe injuries, Murong Jinghe gradually lost his strength.

Just as Xuanlie was about to kill Jinghe himself, the Emperor awoke in time. Furious, the Emperor scolded Xuanlie, but Xuanlie, unfazed, raised his sword to slay the Emperor. Murong Jinghe immediately shielded the Emperor with his body. At this moment, Yin Luomei arrived at the palace with the Pingnan Army, quickly quelling the chaos. Seeing Luomei drawing her sword, Xuanlie surrendered and was ordered by the Emperor to be imprisoned.

Meanwhile, Mei Lin awoke to learn that Murong Jinghe had stormed Yanming Hall to rescue the Emperor and that the entire palace was now sealed off. As she insisted on returning to Zhao Jing, one of Yue Qin's men delivered the news that the Emperor had already awakened, the Crown Prince's rebellion had failed, and Murong Jinghe had fallen unconscious.

Worried, Mei Lin rushed back to Jingwang Manor on horseback, sneaking into the room to check on Murong Jinghe, weeping by his bedside. When Murong Jinghe opened his eyes and saw Mei Lin, who he had longed to see, he picked up the broken stone hairpin, filled with guilt and regret. Mei Lin, seeing this, turned and left. When Murong Jinghe woke again, he instinctively touched his face but found no trace of tears, thinking it was just a dream.

His aunt in Jingwang Manor told him that when the Empress once embroidered his wedding robe, she left a stitch unfinished—a sign they considered unlucky. However, Mei Lin had mended the unfinished stitch. Murong Jinghe, looking at the robe, seemed to see Mei Lin embroidering, bringing a sense of nostalgia.

Though Yue Qin protected Mei Lin by naming her his consort, repaying her for saving his life, the King of Xiyan considered Mei Lin a divine maiden, firmly believing in the myths of the Sun and Moon Mountains. He demanded that Mei Lin and Yue Qin return to Xiyan by the time of the Divine Day. Mei Lin understood that Yue Qin had staked his future for her sake and was deeply grateful.

To repay him, she played the role of his wife in public, and Yue Qin promised not to restrict her freedom as his consort. Mei Lin and Yue Qin then bid farewell to Zi Gu and entered the hall to see the Emperor. The Emperor conferred upon Mei Lin the title of Princess Zhongshuo, granting her a lavish dowry and elevating her to the status of a princess, declaring that from then on, Dayan would be her maternal home.

After meeting with the Emperor, the two set off on their journey. Murong Jinghe hurried after them but, sadly, only caught a glimpse of Mei Lin’s departing figure, feeling desolate. Regarding the Crown Prince's rebellion, the Emperor declared the final judgment. First, he ordered the truth about the Qingzhou fire to be revealed, clearing the Weibei Army's name, erecting a stele at Ciling as an act of remembrance, and offsetting Murong Jinghe's merits with his faults.

As for Yin Luomei, she had allowed the Crown Prince to harm loyal ministers, but since she ultimately repented and saved the Emperor, her life was spared. She was demoted from Pingnan Army General to a provincial official in Mozhou, forbidden to return to the capital without a decree. Admitting his failure in raising the Crown Prince, the Emperor decided to issue a decree of self-reproach.

Murong Jinghe finally saw the day when the souls of the Weibei Army’s fallen could rest in peace. Not long after, Yin Luomei, dressed in wedding attire, visited Murong Xuanlie in prison and drank a ceremonial cup of wine with him. Only then did she realize who she truly loved, but it was too late. Xuanlie, knowing the wine was poisoned, willingly drank it, embracing Luomei and asking what kind of husband she would have preferred.

Luomei answered truthfully, her words describing Xuanlie exactly. In his final moments, Luomei watched as Xuanlie died in her arms, her heart shattered in unbearable grief.
