Murong Jinghe then sent Qing Yan to retrieve the token, confirming that what Mei Lin said was true. Indeed, someone had used a fake token to impersonate the Wei Bei Army. Murong Jinghe decided to investigate all personnel related to the Military Department, hoping to find evidence incriminating the Eastern Palace.
He speculated that the Crown Prince, in order to protect himself, would plan to abandon Zhang Yin, and all he needed to do was wait for Zhang Yin to turn on him, allowing Murong Jinghe to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. When Yin Luomei heard about the assassination attempt on Murong Jinghe, she rushed back to Zhao Jing from the border without rest and sent tonics to him as soon as she arrived.
Qing Yan sighed, noting how thoughtful Yin Luomei was toward his lord. However, instead of going directly to Prince Jing’s residence, Yin Luomei trusted that Murong Jinghe would come to find her himself. Jiangtu, feeling indignant on Yin Luomei’s behalf, thought it unfair that she sent gifts to Murong Jinghe every year but never received any response. Just as Jiangtu finished speaking, Yin Luomei heard that Murong Xuanlie had sent gifts.
She felt a bit disappointed, although she said aloud that she couldn’t bear to see Prince Jing fall so low and that, as a comrade, she had a duty to save Murong Jinghe. In truth, she still harbored feelings of admiration for him. That night, as Yin Luomei reflected on the past with mixed emotions, Murong Jinghe suddenly arrived to ask her for red fuzi, claiming he wanted to drown his sorrows in drink.
Seeing Murong Jinghe in such a state, having forgotten his former ambitions, Yin Luomei was both angry and saddened. In the end, she agreed to give him the red fuzi. However, as soon as Murong Jinghe left the general’s residence, he heard that Mei Lin had gone alone to Wenhua Pavilion, and he immediately sensed danger. He hurriedly took Qing Yan and rushed over.
At that moment, Mei Lin had infiltrated Wenhua Pavilion, searching for the red fuzi, when she unexpectedly stumbled upon Zhang Yin and a woman with markings on her neck secretly plotting. She was shocked to discover that Zhang Yin was the leader of the Mo Vein organization and the true culprit behind the massacre years ago. Suddenly, a fire broke out at Wenhua Pavilion. All the Mo Vein Death Warriors, dressed in phosphorus-coated clothes, perished in the flames.
Zhang Yin and the woman escaped through a secret passage, leaving Mei Lin trapped. Fortunately, Murong Jinghe arrived just in time to rescue Mei Lin and take her back to his residence. On the night of the imperial bedchamber, Zi Gu was filled with anxiety and hid a dagger, a gift from her brother, under her pillow. However, Emperor Murong Qian discovered it. He did not blame Zi Gu, knowing she would never attempt an assassination.
Instead, he expressed his hope for peace between the two nations and said that if Zi Gu was unwilling, he would not force her. He then gently pricked her finger and let her blood drip onto the chastity cloth before sitting at a nearby desk to handle government affairs. Meanwhile, after Mei Lin took the red fuzi, she began to hallucinate. First, she clung to Murong Jinghe’s neck and bit him fiercely.
Then, she mistook him for Zhang Yin, the master of the Dark Factory, and fell into a delusion, yearning for her parents. Seeing this, Murong Jinghe was moved and used a brush to draw flowers, guiding Mei Lin back to her bed to rest. When Mei Lin woke up again, her mind was clear, and she noticed that the Mo Vein markings on her arm had disappeared, and she sighed in relief.
On the other side, the doctor told Murong Jinghe that while the red fuzi had detoxifying properties, Mei Lin's constitution was different from that of ordinary people. During her years of wandering, she likely consumed too much spoiled food to survive, damaging her body. As a result, the red fuzi only temporarily relieved the Mo Vein poison, giving her one more year to live.
If she were to take the red fuzi again after that year, she would likely die instantly. Despite the slim chance of success, Murong Jinghe ordered the doctor to prepare the antidote as soon as possible. From then on, everything would depend on Mei Lin’s fate.
Minister Wang hurried to report to Murong Xuanlie that all the Mo Vein Death Warriors in Wenhua Pavilion had perished, and only Zhang Yin’s belongings were found at the scene, suggesting that he had also met a grim fate. Yue Qin, playing chess with Emperor Murong Qian, found it difficult to let go of Mei Lin and suggested that the hundred beauties of Honglu Temple first learn to read and write before being distributed to the noble families.
He even volunteered to be their teacher. After a moment of consideration, Murong Qian agreed and decided that Honglu Temple would open in three days, with Zi Gu personally overseeing the preparations. After waking up, Mei Lin revealed to Murong Jinghe that Zhang Yin had not perished in the fire but had escaped through a secret passage. However, Mei Lin couldn’t understand why Zhang Yin would drag one hundred thousand innocent Qingzhou citizens to the grave over a personal grudge. Murong Jinghe, too, was filled with anger and sorrow, as the Wei Bei Army had been unjustly implicated by Zhang Yin’s actions.
