Jiang Shi inquired with Nanny Duo about the poisoning of her mother years ago and the specific poison used. She also learned the reason for Princess Fuqing's blindness and encouraged her to reveal the truth. It turned out that years ago, Princess Fuqing overheard the Eldest Princess plotting to poison the former Empress. When the Eldest Princess discovered this, she ordered Fuqing’s eyes to be blinded as a warning.

Out of fear that her mother would be implicated, Princess Fuqing never spoke of the incident. When the Empress learned that her position had come at the cost of her daughter’s eyesight, she was deeply remorseful. Yu Qi seized the opportunity to inform the Empress that he had been falsely accused as a bringer of calamity, with the Eldest Princess orchestrating the plot against him.

The Empress was shocked to learn that the Eldest Princess had been so audacious as to target even a prince. Following Jiang Shi’s plan, Nanny Duo deceived the Eldest Princess, claiming that her identity had not been exposed and that the method to remove the Gu worm was something Yu Qi had discovered in the Southern Borders. This successfully misled the Eldest Princess.

Yu Qi and Jiang Shi suggested that the Empress take this opportunity to expose the Eldest Princess, but the Empress hesitated. The Eldest Princess was highly regarded by the Emperor and had once rendered great service to the nation, making her difficult to bring down. She advised Yu Qi and Jiang Shi to distance themselves from the Eldest Princess after their marriage.

Cui Mingyue, upon hearing that Jiang Shi had found a remedy and restored Princess Fuqing’s eyesight, became worried that the Emperor would favor Jiang Shi even more. Afraid she would lose the chance to marry Yu Qi, she sought help from the Eldest Princess, begging her for assistance. Left with no other choice, the Eldest Princess agreed to plead her case on her birthday.

Jiang Shi realized that taking down the Eldest Princess would not be easy and that a long-term strategy was needed. Meanwhile, Yu Qi and Jiang Shi took the opportunity to discuss their impending marriage. The Crown Prince meticulously planned a grand celebration for the Eldest Princess’s birthday, knowing she was his strongest ally. Without her support, he feared being replaced by Consort Xian and her son, Prince Qi.

The Crown Princess felt disheartened watching the Crown Prince tirelessly prepare for the Eldest Princess’s birthday, as he had long forgotten the death anniversary of his own birth mother. On the Eldest Princess’s birthday, the Emperor arrived to find the residence desolate, with no guests present. The Eldest Princess sat alone in a pavilion, drinking.

Pretending to be drunk and sorrowful, she reminisced about the past to move the Emperor’s heart and used this moment to plead for a marriage decree. Now that Princess Fuqing’s eyesight had recovered, she longed to leave the palace and explore the world outside. The Empress, indulging her daughter for once, secretly allowed Nanny Duo to escort her out.

Overjoyed by the lively streets outside the palace, Princess Fuqing took the chance to slip away from Nanny Duo and enjoy the sights alone. Coincidentally, Zhen Hang passed by, and she recognized his voice. Zhen Hang was astonished to see that she could now see. Princess Fuqing asked Zhen Hang to take her around to see the world, and the two strolled along the lakeside until late at night, when Zhen Hang finally escorted her back to the palace.

Yu Qi came up with the idea of rehearsing the grand wedding ceremony with Jiang Shi in advance. Dressed in wedding robes, they happily played their roles. Suddenly, an imperial decree arrived—the Emperor had granted marriage, ordering both Cui Mingyue and Jiang Shi to marry Yu Qi. Unwilling to marry Cui Mingyue, Yu Qi took the risk of entering the Martial Hall without permission, kneeling before the Emperor to plead for the decree to be revoked.

However, the Emperor, still feeling guilty towards the Eldest Princess, rebuked Yu Qi and insisted he marry Cui Mingyue. Yu Qi refused and remained kneeling outside Tiande Hall despite a heavy downpour. The Eldest Princess arrived to persuade him and even threatened him, but Yu Qi confronted her with the truth about her past deeds. Yet, the Eldest Princess showed no fear.

Jiang Shi, knowing that Yu Qi was enduring the rain and suffering for her, felt helpless, unable to do anything. She could only wait outside the palace for him. The Jiang family, learning of Yu Qi and Jiang Shi’s predicament, was deeply concerned, unsure of how to resolve the situation. Yu Qi knelt outside the hall for a full day and night. Baoping, worried about his health, tried to persuade him to relent, but Yu Qi remained resolute. At the next morning’s court session, everyone remained silent—except for Zhen Hang, who stepped forward to speak.
