Liu Yan brought Mu Zhuohua to see Yun Xiangyue's body and asked her to perform an autopsy. Despite her fear, Mu Zhuohua reluctantly complied. Guo Juli stood outside with Zhi Mo, continuously eating snacks. Zhi Mo's gaze made Guo Juli think he wanted some snacks, so she offered him hers, but he declined. Confused, she muttered that if he wanted them, why didn't he take them? Mu Zhuohua had Liu Yan describe the symptoms Yun Xiangyue experienced before and after being poisoned. Through this conversation, Mu Zhuohua realized that Liu Yan had interacted with Yun Xiangyue. She then checked his pulse and asked about his medical history.

Zhi Jian informed her that Liu Yan had been poisoned by the Abyssal Flower before and had survived by taking Snow Dust Pill. This information clarified things for Mu Zhuohua. She examined Yun Xiangyue's clothes and concluded that the poison was applied to the clothing, specifically using a type of medicine called "Huan Yang Powder." Mu Zhuohua explained that this poison worked by entering the body through the clothing. She suspected that the culprit was well-versed in Liu Yan's medical history, as usual poisons would have been neutralized by the Snow Dust Pill in his system. She found it odd that Yun Xiangyue had exchanged clothing with her maid, which suggested the maid had been bribed.

Mu Zhuohua suggested questioning the maid, but Zhi Jian revealed that the maid had been silenced. Upon hearing this, Mu Zhuohua was greatly frightened. Seeing her fear, Liu Yan ordered Zhi Mo to escort them back home. After returning, Mu Zhuohua told Guo Juli that their days ahead might not be peaceful. Zhi Jian reported the results of the investigation to Liu Yan. Mu Zhuohua marveled at her ability to excel academically despite her father's numerous wives. Liu Yan instructed Zhi Jian to inquire about the Huan Yang Powder and to keep an eye on Mu Zhuohua. Zhang Steward lamented that the Ding Prince's residence was vast and that it would be better with a lady of the house.

Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli wandered the streets. Guo Juli was curious about Mu Zhuohua's intentions, and she explained that she wanted to establish connections so that if Liu Yan was ever needed, he could assist them. They coincidentally encountered Emperor Liu Jv on the city wall, and he expressed gratitude for Liu Yan's assistance in governing the country. The conversation shifted to Liu Jv's daughter, Princess Rou Jia (Liu Jiao), who had returned. Guo Juli was puzzled by the mention of "Shen Nü" (Divine Maiden) in relation to the princess. Mu Zhuohua explained that Liu Jiao's fiancé had died in a battle five years ago, leading her to open medical clinics to help the people.

While Guo Juli was distracted buying candied hawthorn, Mu Zhuohua was caught by Zhou Steward, and they both ran when they saw him. Mu Zhuohua encountered Liu Jiao while running and joined her in solving riddles, winning a prize together. Liu Jiao invited Mu Zhuohua to choose a lantern first. Mu Zhuohua mentioned that she learned riddles from Liu Jiao during her childhood. Zhou Steward approached but hesitated to intervene. Liu Jiao realized Mu Zhuohua was using her to solve problems, but she wasn't upset and even invited her to a poetry event at the Wen Zheng Tower.

Liu Yan and Emperor Liu Jv enjoyed a drink and conversation. Liu Yan was willing to sacrifice himself for the emperor's health and safety, but the emperor reminded him of his responsibilities and encouraged him to live well. Liu Yan brought Zhou Steward forward, thinking he could be useful. Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli arrived at the Wen Zheng Tower, where they heard that Shen Jinghong had won five consecutive contests and was a strong candidate for the championship. The topic was about the dangers of nurturing a tiger, and Liu Chen couldn't understand why his uncle, Liu Yan, used his name in the riddle, while Liu Yan found it amusing.
