Before Yin Luomei’s departure, Murong Jinghe personally bid her farewell, promising to drink a celebratory toast once she reclaimed command of the Pingnan Army. Holding the ancestral tablets in her bundle, Yin Luomei felt a mix of emotions and admitted that, without Murong Jinghe’s reminder, she might have truly gone astray. Murong Jinghe reassured her, saying that as long as she remembered the sound of the battle drums, she would never choose the wrong path.

Murong Jinghe then entered the palace to meet the Emperor, who reminisced about the past with him. The Emperor confessed that after the great fire in Qingzhou, he felt powerless. Surrounded by foreign enemies and facing public outrage, any action seemed increasingly dangerous. He had constantly reminded himself that it might indeed have been Prince Jing’s fault and that he needed to give the people an explanation as quickly as possible.

It was at this moment that Murong Jinghe fully understood: the Emperor was the ruler of the world, not just his father alone. The Emperor, feeling remorseful and self-reproachful, expressed his intention to pass the throne to Murong Jinghe. However, Murong Jinghe responded that he still had unfinished business. He requested permission to go to Qingzhou to restore the land, now reduced to ruins, and return it to its original purity.

The Emperor, pleased with his resolve, readily agreed, noting that Murong Jinghe should regain the trust of the people he had lost in Qingzhou. Currently, Qingzhou was one of the towns the Emperor and the Prince of Xiyan had designated for reconstruction to establish peaceful border trade. Yue Qin’s team, before returning to Xiyan, made a detour to Qingzhou, allowing Mei Lin to pay respects to her parents.

Kneeling by their graves after many years away, Mei Lin was overwhelmed with emotions, telling her parents that justice for Qingzhou had been restored, offering peace to all departed spirits. Following this, Mei Lin traveled with Yue Qin to Xiyan, where she discovered that she was also worshiped by the people as a divine envoy. Watching from the carriage as the citizens knelt in reverence showed her how important Sun and Moon Kunlun were in their hearts.

Although Yue Qin didn’t believe in the gods, he used this faith to handle affairs. The King of Xiyan summoned both Mei Lin and Yue Qin, announcing that he would select an auspicious day to confer the title of Prince’s Consort upon the divine maiden. Traditionally, the divine prophecy was embroidered on the body of the divine maiden, and there had never been a precedent for it to be on the Prince.

Unable to bear Mei Lin’s suffering, Yue Qin decided to take on the prophecy in her place. General Mingju presented a petition from the soldiers opposing border trade with Qingzhou, but Yue Qin produced the Emperor’s agreement, arguing that the trade would aid his plan to build the Tower of Longevity in the southwest. Persuaded, the King of Xiyan agreed to open trade with Qingzhou.

A Ga and A Yi, thrilled, came to visit Mei Lin, now both staying in the palace as maids, no longer relying on beauty or men to survive. Meanwhile, Zi Gu prepared a dowry for Mei Lin but kept avoiding the Emperor, making excuses whenever he came by. Puzzled, the Emperor directly entered the Fanghua Hall to ask her about it, and Zi Gu boldly confessed her feelings.

Not long afterward, Murong Jinghe, with his hair bound, set out for Qingzhou to assume his role as governor. Seeing the wild overgrowth and the displaced people saddened him deeply. Suddenly, an old man threw a stone at him, cursing him. Chancellor Li Jie immediately ordered the man detained, explaining to Murong Jinghe that the elder had lost his family and was mentally distressed—a pitiful soul.

Hearing Li Jie’s words, Murong Jinghe empathized, understanding the long path ahead to heal the people’s wounds and regain their trust. He decided to build a Monument of the People in Qingzhou, engraving the names of the deceased to give the living a place for remembrance and prayers. In his quest to repair a broken stone hairpin, Murong Jinghe ventured through countless mines to find the right stone and finally found one of the perfect color.

Since the Qingzhou fire, many young men had taken to the mountains and become bandits. Murong Jinghe issued an order promising amnesty to any bandits who were willing to return to farming. All refugees arriving in Qingzhou, regardless of their original origin, were to be settled as military households, provided with farming tools and seeds. At this time, Qing Yan reported that Xiyan had sent officials to Qingzhou to oversee the trade.

Seeing Mei Lin’s name on the list, Murong Jinghe, overwhelmed with excitement, ran outside, only to see Mei Lin walking with Yue Qin, appearing perfectly matched.
