The original plan was proceeding smoothly, but Mei Lin had to reveal herself in order to save Yue Qin. In the process, Shumo was accidentally shot with an arrow, so Yue Qin took Shumo back. Zhang Yin hurriedly barged in with his men, only to find “Shumo” unconscious on the ground. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, he didn’t expect that “Shumo” was actually Mei Lin in disguise, and she angrily beat him up.

Murong Jinghe took Mei Lin away, and when he saw she was injured, he angrily scolded her for putting herself in danger just to save someone. However, Mei Lin argued that Yue Qin was her savior, which made Murong Jinghe even more upset. He gave her two choices: either follow Yue Qin to repay her debt of gratitude, or follow him to seek revenge.

On the other side, Murong Xuanlie accompanied Yin Luomei to admire the fire dragon and offered a toast to the fallen soldiers. Yin Luomei felt very grateful upon seeing this. Seizing the opportunity, Murong Xuanlie confessed his feelings to Yin Luomei, saying that she had always been the only one he wanted as his crown princess. He even used Murong Jinghe and Mei Lin's relationship to provoke her, but Yin Luomei still did not respond.

To divert the spies of the Crown Prince, Murong Jinghe celebrated the festival with Mei Lin in earnest, though he was still angry about what had happened earlier. Mei Lin, treating Murong Jinghe as a friend, gave him a dog-shaped lantern as a gift. Murong Jinghe was initially displeased, feeling that she was comparing him to a dog. But Mei Lin explained that after the great fire in Qingzhou, this dog was her only companion, which moved Murong Jinghe.

Murong Jinghe captured Zhang Yin and bluntly told him to implicate the Eastern Palace, as that was the only way to save his life. Initially, Zhang Yin refused to cooperate, but when Murong Jinghe produced a fake Weibei military token, Zhang Yin's expression changed drastically. He then admitted that there was a key witness to the old Qingzhou case, and that person was the Eastern Palace strategist, Li Qing.

Mei Lin speculated that Li Qing must have been hidden somewhere and, upon hearing that the mastermind behind the Qingzhou arson was Murong Xuanlie, swore to avenge the people of Qingzhou at all costs. Yue Qin brought Shumo back to Honglu Temple, but Shumo was poisoned and close to death. Before dying, Shumo revealed everything to Yue Qin, explaining that she had done it all to help him return to Xi Yan, though she had failed.

Because of this, Yue Qin began to suspect a connection between Murong Xuanlie and Qingzhou. While lost in thought, he heard Shumo calling him. In her final moments, Shumo entrusted Yue Qin to let Yun Qi take care of him and had prepared things that Yue Qin liked, worrying that after her passing, no one would prepare them for him anymore. Shumo’s death left Yue Qin devastated.

The two had grown up together, and though they were master and servant, their bond was stronger than family. To Yue Qin, Shumo was like the other half of his life. Since the Isang flowers were used in Xi Yan to honor the deceased, and such flowers didn’t grow in the Yan Empire, Yue Qin searched in vain for them.

Frustrated, he locked himself in his room and tirelessly carved day and night, blaming himself for his incompetence, which had led to Shumo’s death. Mei Lin took the initiative to visit Yue Qin. Seeing him like this left her feeling uneasy, but to help him recover, she personally embroidered a ribbon with Isang flowers for him to use in commemorating Shumo. Once they placed the ribbon with the Isang flowers in a high place, they finally felt some relief.

Yue Qin wanted Mei Lin to leave the Yan Empire with him, but she declined, saying that after the great fire in Qingzhou, she had never considered any other path and couldn’t turn back now. Since Mei Lin was resolute, Yue Qin handed over all the evidence Shumo had left behind, advising her to take control of the situation herself.

Later, Mei Lin shared this information with Murong Jinghe, describing her impression of him and hoping to clear up any misunderstandings he had about Yue Qin. Murong Jinghe promised not to take his anger out on Yue Qin, but warned Mei Lin not to have any further dealings with him. Late at night, Murong Jinghe sat alone by the pond, gazing at the dog lantern Mei Lin had given him, his mind filled with thoughts of her.
