Liu Yan rushed back with Mu Zhuohua for the imperial examination, as time was running out. He instructed Zhi Mo to inform Guo Juli to get ready and wait at the entrance of the examination hall, while he quickly accompanied Mu Zhuohua to the exam. Many examinees, including Shen Jinghong, witnessed this scene and wondered if there was something suspicious about Liu Yan personally escorting her. They quickly thought that if there was something fishy, Liu Yan wouldn't openly accompany her like this. To show her gratitude for Liu Yan escorting her, Mu Zhuohua took him aside and told him about her medical skills. Considering Liu Yan's age, Mu Zhuohua felt that he wouldn't resort to unethical actions.

Mu Zhuohua mentioned that her medical skills were good and she could treat him at a reasonable price. This angered Liu Yan, who stormed off. Mu Zhuohua was puzzled by his reaction, and Guo Juli thought it might be because of Mu Zhuohua's offer of affordable treatment. Shen Jinghong approached Mu Zhuohua and commended her, believing that anyone favored by Princess Rou Jia must have exceptional qualities. Scholars like Wenshi Zong overheard their conversation and speculated about Mu Zhuohua's background. Liu Ju told Liu Yan that he would never let go of the person plotting against him from behind, but he hadn't informed the Queen Dowager about the danger Liu Yan faced.

Liu Ju didn't want Liu Yan to approach the Queen Dowager, and Liu Yan understood his intentions and left. However, Liu Yan felt that this matter was connected to the Queen Dowager, so he ordered Zhi Jian to investigate Vice General Yuan's residence and personal belongings again. Mu Zhuohua had complete confidence in the exam questions and answered them calmly. Liu Yan arrived at the examination venue, where Liu Chen told him that it was quite difficult for the female candidates of this session to become scholars. Liu Chen believed that even if women achieved good ranks, they would still be confined to household duties. Liu Yan criticized this as a detrimental cultural norm in their country. While Mu Zhuohua was answering the questions, she noticed Liu Yan patrolling the examination site, and their eyes met, creating ripples in her heart.

Liu Chen looked at the jade pendant hanging from Liu Yan's waist and asked when he could have one for himself, as he had asked many times before. Liu Yan replied that he wasn't short of a jade pendant, as he had promised to give one to Mu Zhuohua as a reward for her good performance. After the exams, a teacher tasked with grading the papers was astonished by the precision of one exam paper. Liu Chen and Liu Yan made a bet on whether it was Shen Jinghong's paper, with Liu Yan's jade pendant at stake. Liu Yan knew that Liu Chen had been eyeing his jade pendant for a long time, and Liu Chen lost the bet. The second round of exams quickly followed. Mu Zhuohua knew this wasn't her strong suit, but she tried to follow her teacher's advice and stay on topic.

After the exam, many candidates had strayed from the topic, while only a few managed to stay on track. During the nighttime exam, many struggled to stay awake. Shen Jinghong looked at the stationery set that Princess Rou Jia had given him before the exam. The decision-making exam followed, and Mu Zhuohua felt anxious as this was her least confident subject. Watching the collected answer sheets, Mu Zhuohua felt anxious. After the exams, Guo Juli came to pick up Mu Zhuohua and noticed that she smelled bad. Guo Juli asked her how the exam went, and Mu Zhuohua believed that regardless of her performance, she had put in her best effort. Now, she just wanted to eat something delicious.

The Queen Dowager learned that Liu Yan had personally used his command token to escort Mu Zhuohua to the examination. She realized that Liu Ju had prevented her from taking action against Liu Yan, but she also couldn't allow him to uncover her secrets. She instructed her maids to investigate Mu Zhuohua's background and lineage in great detail. The Queen Dowager felt justified in her actions, believing that everything she did was for Liu Ju and Liu Chen. However, Liu Ju and Liu Chen continued to side with Liu Yan, which frustrated her. She needed to protect herself while navigating these complex circumstances. The day of the exam results arrived. Mu Zhuohua appeared nonchalant, but she was actually very anxious. Guo Juli urged her to check the list of successful candidates, but Mu Zhuohua hesitated.
