Mei Lin’s vision had been affected by the poisonous moth powder, leaving her temporarily blind. Fortunately, Murong Jinghe used a medicinal bandage to partially relieve the poison. By the time Yue Qin arrived to check on Mei Lin, Murong Jinghe had quietly left. Thankfully, Mei Lin’s eyes were not seriously harmed.

Yue Qin discovered that the explosion in the mine was caused by Mingju, so he arranged for the Grand Priest to reveal a divine prophecy, making the King of Xiyan believe Mingju was rebelling. Fully convinced, the King ordered Mingju to transfer half his troops to Yue Qin’s command under the guise of building the Longevity Tower, intending to strip Mingju of his military power.

Yue Qin kept vigil over Mei Lin through the night, changing her bandages until her sight was fully restored. Finally, feeling at ease, he shared with her that he and the Grand Priest had set up a plan to make Mingju pay for his actions, assuring her that they would face no immediate threat from him. Since the King of Xiyan had summoned Yue Qin back, he left Qingzhou after giving Mei Lin a few instructions.

The business at Yanlai Fragrance Pavilion continued to thrive, and when Mei Lin visited A Ga, she unexpectedly learned from Wei Laoer that Prince Jing had been pelted with stones and injured due to the public's resentment, leaving her feeling troubled.

To help Murong Jinghe, Mei Lin personally persuaded the stubborn stonemason, Li Shijiang, by reminiscing about old times and explaining that the citizens’ survival was due to the Wei Northern Army, and that someone else was responsible for the great fire in Qingzhou. Li Shijiang found it difficult to believe this truth and thought Mei Lin was there to advocate for Prince Jing. Mei Lin clarified that she was there for the welfare of all Qingzhou’s citizens.

Due to her words, Li Shijiang’s opinion of the Wei Northern Army softened slightly. Just then, Murong Jinghe arrived to visit, and Li Shijiang agreed to teach him the craft of carving inscriptions on the stone monument. Watching Murong Jinghe carve in the rain, not uttering a word even as his hands bled, Li Shijiang was finally moved and allowed Murong Jinghe to write down the names of Qingzhou’s victims.

With Mei Lin’s assistance, Murong Jinghe gathered all the names of the lost citizens. However, when Mei Lin saw her father’s name, she was overcome with grief. On the day the People’s Monument was completed, Murong Jinghe publicly apologized, blaming himself for failing to protect the citizens of Qingzhou and vowing that the Murong family would atone daily for their sins.

Mei Lin suddenly spoke on behalf of the Wei Northern Army, asserting that the soldiers stationed in Qingzhou fought desperately to protect the people. Despite being slandered, they never turned their blades on the citizens, so the names of all 13,000 soldiers should be engraved on the monument. At that moment, the citizens of Qingzhou finally understood and made peace with Prince Jing, viewing the Wei Northern Army as true heroes.

Murong Jinghe won the trust and support of the Qingzhou citizens, paving the way for governing the region. As Qingzhou prospered, the Emperor issued an edict honoring Murong Jinghe and permitted the rebuilding of the Wei Northern Army to honor the fallen. Yue Qin returned to Qingzhou with a new mission from the King of Xiyan, requiring him and Mei Lin to light the Eternal Lamp for the King on Qingzhou’s sacred mountain.

Yue Qin increasingly felt that his father had become delusional, investing vast sums in the construction of the Longevity Tower instead of improving the lives of the people and ignoring the wellbeing of common citizens. At that time, Zi Gu sent a letter to Mei Lin and Yue Qin, informing them of her pregnancy and her worries about becoming a mother.

Reading his sister's words, Yue Qin was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, marveling at how his once-young sister had matured into a capable adult. Yue Qin then privately met with Murong Jinghe to discuss his plan and seek his assistance. He informed Murong Jinghe that after lighting the Eternal Lamp, he would return to Xiyan with Mei Lin and take the Snow Dragon Vine antidote.

Murong Jinghe, burdened with guilt, realized that from the moment he’d administered the poison to Mei Lin, he had understood that they might never meet again. Gazing at the red fruit trees in the courtyard, he knew they would only thrive in Laowozi Village and that he could no longer fulfill his promise to Mei Lin; forcing things would only lead to bitter regret. Mei Lin spent the night drinking with her close friends.

Yue Qin noticed her reluctance to leave Qingzhou and silently vowed to return her freedom once she was no longer bound as the Prince’s Consort. Meanwhile, Mingju secretly plotted to sabotage Mei Lin’s sedan chair during the ritual, causing it to break down. However, as Xiyan customs dictate that the Prince’s Consort cannot touch the ground during a blessing ritual, Murong Jinghe disguised himself as a sedan carrier and carried Mei Lin up the mountain.

To his surprise, Mei Lin recognized him immediately. Mei Lin remarked that the mountain path, although winding, would eventually come to an end, acknowledging that it was Murong Jinghe who had rescued her from the mine. Murong Jinghe remained silent, carrying her all the way to the mountaintop, where he watched her and Yue Qin complete the ritual. With a heavy heart, he shed tears, left his mask behind, and departed once again.
