Lord Yang from the Directorate of Astronomy reported to the Grand Princess that Yu Qi went to investigate a case but unexpectedly stopped midway to dig out a jar of wine under a tree. Even though Lord Yang had been in the Directorate of Astronomy for many years, he was unaware of any wine hidden there, worrying that the jar might contain crucial evidence.

However, the Grand Princess remained indifferent, believing that all testimonies and evidence from back then had already been destroyed, making it impossible to uncover anything. Meanwhile, Princess Fuqing was feeling anxious as her mother had arranged for a tutor for her, but she had no idea what kind of person this teacher would be or whether they would get along. When the person finally arrived, Fuqing was delighted to find that her tutor was none other than Zhen Hang.

Jiang Zhan, unable to avenge his mother, felt deeply troubled. To distract himself, he kept himself busy with various tasks. Lu Chuchu noticed his relentless work and that even his hands were injured, yet he refused to stop. Out of concern, she asked him about it, but since Jiang Zhan had promised his father not to speak of it, he remained silent. Lu Chuchu did not press further but instead took Jiang Zhan to the riverside to relax.

Finally, Jiang Zhan revealed to Lu Chuchu that his mother had been poisoned. Upon hearing this, Lu Chuchu expressed her willingness to help him, but Jiang Zhan did not want to drag her into danger. Yu Qi and Jiang Shi went together to pay respects to the Empress. Jiang Shi noticed that the flower basket beside the Empress was the same floral arrangement she had made at the flower appreciation banquet.

At that moment, Princess Fuqing arrived, and Jiang Shi realized that Fuqing had lost her sight. She inquired about the reason and seized the opportunity to request staying by the Empress’s side for three days to learn court etiquette. Fuqing firmly opposed this, fearing that as Yu Qi's future consort, Jiang Shi should be at Consort Xian’s palace instead. Since Consort Xian was known for her arrogance, conflicts could easily arise.

However, the Empress agreed to Jiang Shi’s request, willing to help her. After leaving, Yu Qi questioned Jiang Shi’s decision to act on her own. Jiang Shi explained that Princess Fuqing’s blindness was likely caused by Nanwu’s venomous insects and that she intended to use Fuqing’s condition to uncover hidden spies in the palace. Upon learning that Fuqing’s blindness was due to these insects, the Empress was deeply distressed.

She had never mistreated anyone or made enemies, and Fuqing, as a princess, had no involvement in political struggles. She could not understand why someone would harm her daughter. Jiang Shi proposed working together with the Empress to find the culprit. When the Grand Princess heard that Jiang Shi was staying in the Empress’s palace, she guessed that Jiang Shi was trying to seek the Empress’s protection but remained unfazed.

The Emperor specially summoned Zhen Hang to the palace, wanting to observe his attitude toward Fuqing. Although Zhen Hang greatly admired Princess Fuqing, it was not to the extent that satisfied the Emperor, who intended to betroth Fuqing to him. The Emperor wanted to see whether Zhen Hang harbored romantic feelings for Fuqing. At that moment, Fuqing almost fell while flying a kite, and Zhen Hang instinctively stepped in to help her.

The Emperor, noticing Zhen Hang’s concern, directly asked about his feelings for Fuqing. However, because Fuqing was a princess, Zhen Hang dared not overstep his bounds and could only suppress his true emotions. That night, Princess Fuqing had a nightmare and screamed in her sleep. Jiang Shi realized that Fuqing might have witnessed a secret related to the Grand Princess. Meanwhile, Yu Qi and Jiang Shi found the Empress’s attendant, Duo Momo, acting suspiciously.

Yu Qi used an excuse to bring Hua Momo to his residence but later discovered he had made a mistake—the real Nanwu spy was actually Duo Momo. Realizing her cover had been blown, Duo Momo attempted to kill Jiang Shi. However, Jiang Shi revealed the sacred maiden’s totem on her body and commanded Duo Momo, as a saintess, to remove the venomous insect from Fuqing.

Jiang Shi extracted the venomous insect from Princess Fuqing, but since it had been residing in her for many years, it recognized Fuqing as the ideal host and resisted removal. The process caused Fuqing immense, inhuman pain. Watching their daughter suffer so much, the Emperor and Empress were heartbroken. However, Fuqing endured the agony and finally expelled the venomous insect. The next day, when Fuqing’s vision was restored, the Emperor was overjoyed and wanted to reward Jiang Shi.
