Han Ziqing pulled Concubine Qin into the water with her, and people immediately threw ropes down to pull both of them up. Concubine Qin was in a panic. Jun Beiyue and the Nanzhao King quickly arrived at the scene. Concubine Qin pleaded with the king to save her, while Jun Beiyue noticed something was wrong and demanded an explanation from the Nanzhao King.

The Nanzhao King ordered his subordinates to bring the antidote, but they insisted that the medicine was still in the carriage. The king warned that if anything happened to either of the princesses, their lives would be forfeited. One of the attendants mentioned that he had previously prepared a small lifesaving pouch for the king, which might contain the antidote.

The antidote was quickly retrieved, and Jun Beiyue gave it to Han Ziqing immediately, also handing a pill to everyone who had come into contact with the princess. Jun Beiyue understood that someone had orchestrated this incident behind the scenes, but Han Ziqing remarked that being in Nanzhao, they still needed to tread carefully. Meanwhile, Concubine Qin was deeply apologetic for having messed up the situation.

She wanted to play a song for the king to relax him, but the king told her to rest and instead went to see Concubine Meng. Chu Feiyan found Concubine Qin and hinted that the incident with the fall into the river might have been intentional on Han Ziqing's part. However, Concubine Qin argued that the river was poisonous, and no one would willingly fall into it—perhaps it was just an accident.

She advised Chu Feiyan not to overthink it, but Chu Feiyan wasn’t convinced. Over on Xuanyuan Lige's side, his sister reminded him to stop getting involved in Han Ziqing's matters. Xuanyuan Lige responded bluntly, saying that she was meddling and even threatening that he had the power to either elevate or drag her down. The competition was about to begin. Chu Feiyan specifically approached Han Ziqing, warning her that this time she would not lose again. Han Ziqing remained indifferent.

When the qin-playing competition began, Han Ziqing was placed last in the order. Concubine Qin questioned why the Fourth Princess was placed at the end. Jun Beiyue knew that Concubine Qin was trying to make a grand entrance herself, so Han Ziqing offered to give the finale spot to Concubine Qin. Concubine Qin quickly downplayed it, saying she was just there to enjoy the event.

The qin competition began, and most of the players' skills were mediocre until Chu Feiyan played, which brought a smile to the Nanzhao King’s face. Concubine Qin noticed this. When it was Han Ziqing's turn, to everyone's surprise, the usually average Han Ziqing played terribly. Chu Feiyan stood tall with confidence, unaware of the danger that was approaching.

The Nanzhao King then invited Chu Feiyan to participate in the later performances and even extended an invitation for her to join him and Concubine Qin in their cabin for some "pleasant time. " Chu Feiyan immediately realized something was wrong! Jun Beiyue and Han Ziqing happily left the scene. Soon, the king ordered Concubine Qin to invite Chu Feiyan again, but Concubine Qin subtly pointed out that the king’s love for music was too intense for her to overshadow.

Chu Feiyan then realized that Han Ziqing had done everything deliberately earlier, but for the sake of peace between the two countries, she still went. During the water-splashing festival that followed, the king splashed Chu Feiyan, which in Nanzhao symbolized affection. Chu Feiyan was utterly disgusted, but she had no choice but to endure the king's repeated invitations. Nangong Qianqian told Situ Haonan that she would be sent off for a political marriage after returning home.

Situ was visibly uncomfortable hearing this. Nangong Qianqian handed him something her mother had left for her, and Situ said he would accompany her back. But Nangong Qianqian, not caring, left directly. Jun Beiyue was about to leave, and Han Ziqing knew he wanted her to go hunting to help cover for him. Although Han Ziqing was worried about Jun Beiyue, she kept reminding herself not to let her feelings get in the way.

The next day, everyone set out for the hunt. Han Ziqing claimed that Jun Beiyue was sick and wouldn’t be attending. Baili Weisheng overheard that they were headed for Misty Valley and followed his master there. Once the Nanzhao people announced the rules, everyone set off. Concubine Qin was up to her tricks again. Han Ziqing noticed that the rabbit they encountered seemed off, and while protecting Nangong Qianqian, she fell into a trap. By accident, she discovered that her blood could protect her!
