The imperial examination was only ten days away. Every day, Mu Zhuohua diligently studied at home, focusing on preparing for the exam. Guo Juli hurriedly brought Mu Zhuohua to Fuyun Temple, which was known for its efficacy. Many people came here to seek blessings from the Bodhisattva, hoping for good results in their endeavors. Mu Zhuohua and Guo Juli knelt before the Bodhisattva. Guo Juli prayed for Mu Zhuohua's success in the exam, and Mu Zhuohua was deeply moved by Guo Juli's sincere request. Guo Juli mentioned a poetry competition, hinting that they might witness Shen Jinghong's triumphant scene. Mu Zhuohua caught a glimpse of a figure resembling Liu Yan and quickly found an excuse to leave.

As expected, Mu Zhuohua found Liu Yan on the back hill. Liu Yan inquired about the formula for "Huan Yang San." Mu Zhuohua told him that the key ingredient in the formula was the extremely rare and expensive "Zhi Xian Fruit." She suggested that he inquire about the consumption of Zhi Xian Fruit at the imperial medical institute. Liu Yan thought it was a good idea but still had suspicions about Mu Zhuohua. Shen Jinghong awaited Liu Jiao's arrival and played the qin. Liu Chen quietly stood behind him, listening to his performance.

Liu Yan believed that Mu Zhuohua's visit to Ding Jing was not solely for the imperial examination. Mu Zhuohua revealed that she knew about "Huan Yang San" because of her mother. She found it odd that her mother had so much knowledge. These mysteries puzzled her, and she hoped Liu Yan could help her unravel them. Shen Jinghong's poetry earned praise from everyone. Guo Juli noticed that Mu Zhuohua hadn't arrived yet and was anxious. She found Zhi Mo and asked if he had a good memory. She requested him to write down Shen Jinghong's poems. Zhi Mo claimed his handwriting was ugly, but Guo Juli assured him it didn't matter. After he finished writing, Zhi Jian jokingly said that his handwriting was painful to the eyes.

Mu Zhuohua asked Liu Yan if he could show a bit more concern for her. Liu Yan asked how he could show concern. Mu Zhuohua said she was a bit short on money lately. Liu Yan took out his purse and gave her some money. Mu Zhuohua thanked him with delight. Zhi Mo handed the written poems to Guo Juli. As he was about to leave, Guo Juli tried to stop him, but her grip accidentally dislocated his wrist. Shen Jinghong visited Princess Liu Jiao, and she praised his performance today. She believed it was great that Shen Jinghong had caught Liu Chen's attention and hoped he would excel in the exam and become a valuable talent.

Seeing Mu Zhuohua return with so much money, Guo Juli asked if she had provoked a tiger. Mu Zhuohua told her not to provoke a tiger, and at most, she had just straightened the tiger's whiskers. Mu Zhuohua felt that Liu Yan was very suspicious and hadn't completely trusted them yet. She knew "Huan Yang San" was useful to him, so her goal was to gain Liu Yan's trust. Guo Juli thought Mu Zhuohua was clever for earning so much money, but Mu Zhuohua was troubled by "Huan Yang San." She speculated that Liu Yan was currently investigating three leads: the Zhi Xian Fruit, her mother's gentleman friend, and Vice General Yuan's remains.

Mu Zhuohua told Guo Juli that her mother had informed her that her maternal grandfather had worked at the imperial medical institute. She wondered if "Huan Yang San" might have been developed by her maternal grandfather. She was worried that Liu Yan might seek revenge against her. Just as they were contemplating this, a knock on the door interrupted them. Guo Juli answered and found Zhi Jian. He asked Mu Zhuohua to ride with him. Terrified, Mu Zhuohua confessed that she didn't know how to ride a horse, and Liu Yan reprimanded Zhi Jian for not bringing them properly. Liu Yan instructed Mu Zhuohua to give the medicine box to Zhi Mo and mount his horse. Riding on the galloping horse, Mu Zhuohua felt scared, and Liu Yan held her protectively.
