Gu Yunnian learned that the Crown Prince feigned illness and did not attend the court session. In truth, he went on a secret investigation to Jiangnan, which Gu Yunnian had arranged beforehand to see what kind of waves Ren Anle and the others would stir up. At the same time, the carriage suddenly lost control on the way, and Wen Shuo appeared just in time to catch Yuan Qin. Han Ye finally realized that Ren Anle had already known about Wen Shuo secretly following them, so she intentionally broke the carriage to make him reveal himself.

Initially, Han Ye had never agreed to let Wen Shuo accompany them, but Ren Anle pleaded for him in various ways and allowed him to stay for the time being. The group continued their journey, and Han Ye dreamt of Di Ziyuan but couldn't recall his appearance clearly, which frightened him awake. Ren Anle even pretended to be jealous, leaving Han Ye speechless.

The group arrived at Mutian Prefecture in Jiangnan and witnessed the prosperity and liveliness of the place, with no signs of disaster. To avoid alerting the authorities, Ren Anle and Han Ye disguised themselves as refugees and visited around. They found that some merchants were storing a large amount of surplus grain for sale, but the prices were exorbitant, with one stone of rice priced at twenty taels of silver.

Han Ye noticed that the rice was mixed with a lot of dust, indicating that the merchants' rice likely came from the official granary, which accumulated due to good harvests and disaster relief, making it easier to stockpile. Originally, Han Ye wanted to go back and discuss a countermeasure, but Ren Anle said she wanted to show him another side of Jiangnan's prosperity. Han Ye suddenly realized and speculated that the refugees were probably being driven out of the city.

To understand the truth, Ren Anle and Han Ye disguised themselves as refugees and indeed saw that the starving refugees received meager relief food. However, before they could eat enough, they were driven away by soldiers, and all the food was scattered on the ground. Han Ye was deeply distressed seeing this scene.

Lin Lang was ordered to investigate Cold North, who was by Princess An Ning's side, but currently, there was no suspicious activity. Princess An Ning treated Cold North differently because she saved him at the foot of Mount Qingnan. Five years ago, Cold North's family was destroyed in war, and he single-handedly killed seven or eight enemy invaders. At that time, Princess An Ning was considering whether he could be used by Dajing. Over the years, Princess An Ning indeed valued Cold North greatly, but she knew in her heart that saving him was to atone for her inability to save the 80,000 imperial soldiers who died tragically at Mount Qingnan.

Later, Lin Lang helped Luo Mingxi find the Changsi Flower, and Luo Mingxi was delighted. On the other hand, Ren Anle and the others temporarily stayed at an inn. That night, when they came to chat with Han Ye, they suddenly heard fighting outside the door. Upon investigation, they found black-clothed assailants attempting to assassinate them. Fortunately, Yuan Shu and the others arrived just in time. The black-clothed assailants saw that the situation was not in their favor and directly committed suicide by poisoning. Han Ye felt that something was amiss and believed that tonight's incident was likely a warning for him not to continue his investigation.

Thus, Han Ye believed that someone deliberately exposed their whereabouts and location. Instead of waiting passively, it would be better to take the initiative and turn the tables. Han Ye instructed Wen Shuo to inform everyone at Mutian Prefecture, deliberately spreading the news of his assassination attempt, and then appeared at Mutian Prefecture as the Crown Prince.

As expected, Zhong Liwen hurriedly came to welcome him and invited him and Ren Anle to a banquet at Wangjiang Tower. Ren Anle and Han Ye analyzed the situation, vaguely sensing that someone was eavesdropping outside the door. Therefore, they pretended to be affectionate, and Ren Anle playfully teased Han Ye, leaving him blushing and speechless.

As Ren Anle and Han Ye had anticipated, Zhong Liwen planned a trap at Wangjiang Tower and prepared extra measures. He intended to use this opportunity to force Han Ye and Ren Anle to back down. If they refused to drink the toast, he would incite the refugees to riot. At this time, Princess An Ning came to Lixiang Tower to drink, and Luo Mingxi led Lin Lang to greet her. Lin Lang performed a stunning piece, "Plum Blossom Falling," captivating the entire audience, especially Princess An Ning. Remembering some childhood memories, Princess An Ning naturally brought up Di Ziyuan, but unexpectedly, Luo Mingxi suddenly asked her if she ever thought about reuniting with Di Ziyuan.
