Luo Mingxi considered that Di Chengen was still useful and warned Mu Qing to remember that she was a pawn in this scheme and should play her role as a pawn. After returning to Yuanshui Pavilion, Mu Qing, under the influence of alcohol, confided her feelings and expressed her desire to replace Ren Anle as the true "Di Ziyuan" and become the respected Crown Princess.

Now that Di Chengen had caused a stir in the capital city for several days, the Empress Dowager insisted on involving Gu Wanying in the selection of the Crown Princess. Surprisingly, everything seemed calm and peaceful. Months ago, due to Gu Qishan's reckless actions, his military power was stripped, and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion's influence diminished. Although Han Zhongyuan did not like the women of the Di family, he was even more unwilling to let the daughter of Gu Yunnian take the position of the Crown Princess. So, Luo Mingxi and Ren Anle speculated that he would search for a more powerful candidate.

As expected, the Prime Minister suggested that Princess Mo Shuang of Bei Qin participate in the selection of the Crown Princess. By doing so, they could ease the tensions between the two countries, avoid conflicts, and benefit Da Jing and its people. Luo Mingxi thought that involving more people in the selection would divert everyone's attention from Ren Anle. No matter who was chosen, people would think that Ren Anle was only lusting after the Crown Prince's beauty and power and wouldn't suspect her true identity and motives.

However, in this vast capital city, only Luo Mingxi remembered Ren Anle's true identity and knew that she loved Changsi flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers had not grown enough to be given as a gift. Ren Anle lamented that she hadn't seen Changsi flowers since entering the city, and the revenge involved the innocence of 80,000 people. During this period, they were walking on thin ice, uncertain about success or failure and even life or death. She feared she might never see Changsi flowers again.

Han Ye missed Di Ziyuan but didn't dare to meet her in person. On the other hand, Di Chengen racked her brain to please the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Mu Qing reminded Di Chengen not to covet things that didn't belong to her. But Di Chengen refused to endure further insults and contempt after ten years of imprisonment. She wanted justice and compensation for herself.

As soon as the words fell, someone from the Empress Dowager's side sent a message to Di Chengen, asking her to write a poem for the newly built large prison under the Ministry of Justice. Di Chengen was excited and delighted, thinking that the Empress Dowager recognized her. However, Mu Qing emphasized that the Jing'an Marquis Mansion used to be Di Ziyuan's residence, and the Empress Dowager's intention was obviously to deliberately humiliate her. Awakening from her delusions, Di Chengen didn't want to offend the Empress Dowager or anger Ren Anle, lest she ended up displeasing both sides and be sent back to Daishan.

Princess Mo Shuang's grand arrival in the capital city drew attention, but An Ning had a bad impression of Bei Qin and believed they had ill intentions. Han Ye heard that Di Chengen claimed to be unwell and refused to receive visitors for a while. He suspected it was an excuse to avoid writing the poem and believed that her nature had not changed even after ten years. The name change was probably just a temporary expediency, and it was difficult to reconcile her with the blood debt she owed.

To protect Di Chengen's position as the Crown Princess, Han Ye began to plan countermeasures. Luo Mingxi reminded him that he was reluctant to act due to various concerns, and she might end up being drowned by someone with ulterior motives if she appeared on the surface. People's hearts were always complicated and unpredictable. As Han Ye left the Ministry of Justice and walked back, Ren Anle joined him for a short distance, teasing him about having a new candidate for the Crown Princess from Bei Qin. Suddenly, heavy rain was imminent, and Han Ye hurriedly shielded Ren Anle from the rain with a carriage window, causing his heart to pound.

While facing the memorial tablet of the late Emperor, the Empress Dowager decided to meet Di Chengen in person. At that moment, Di Chengen received a note with a drawing of a red umbrella, but she was puzzled by its meaning when she was summoned by the Empress Dowager. Di Chengen humbly paid her respects and offered Buddhist scriptures on Han Taizu's memorial day. She had no complaints about the extermination of the Di family and expressed her willingness to spend her remaining life atoning for the sins of the Di family.

Princess An Ning saw this scene and found it unbelievable. She couldn't understand how Di Ziyuan had become like this. Mu Qing was angry that Di Chengen had entered the palace privately, as the Empress Dowager was astute and hard to fathom. She could promise Di Chengen wealth and glory or silently let her die in the palace. Back then, the 80,000 soldiers couldn't escape the Emperor's wrath, and Mu Qing couldn't guarantee that he could protect Di Chengen. However, Di Chengen didn't care and gave him a tassel as a gift, leaving him with mixed feelings.

Luo Mingxi handed Ren Anle a list to keep her informed about the movements of various court officials. Considering that Han Ye still hadn't come to see her, Di Chengen worried that she might lose her footing in this selection process. Therefore, she decided to take the initiative. Later, Di Chengen dressed up carefully and went to Caiwei Pavilion, deliberately choosing the calligraphy and paintings of the Di family's head to engage Han Ye in conversation.
