Upon learning that Li Ni had successfully captured West Changjing, Li's father and son in Luoyang were delighted. Lord Liang even directly adorned himself in the ceremonial robes of ascension, standing in front of the mirror to admire his regal appearance. Li Jun and Li Lai asked their father how they should reward Li Ni. Unexpectedly, Lord Liang believed that capturing West Changjing for himself was only natural, let alone rewarding or even conferring the title of Crown Prince.

Looking at the towering palace, Li Ni couldn't help but recall the year when he was sixteen, bidding farewell to the late emperor and embarking on the journey to Laoslan Pass. At that time, he made a mistake, angering the late emperor, who refused to see him. Instead, a messenger was sent, instructing him to behave and not tarnish the reputation of the Li family. Little did anyone expect that this mischievous child would, in the end, reclaim West Changjing.

After regrouping, Li Ni hurried to find Cui Lin, hoping she could persuade Tao Zi to treat Concubine Xiao. Learning of Concubine Xiao's righteous act, Cui Lin admired her and naturally agreed to Li Ni's request. With the careful care of Tao Zi and Cui Lin, Concubine Xiao finally woke up. She was delighted by Sun Jing's defeat but also saddened by it. Everyone knew she was the former Crown Princess, but no one cared that she was a living, feeling person. Only with Sun Jing did Concubine Xiao feel alive. However, because she was the former Crown Princess, she had to betray her true love.

Li Ni persuaded his father to welcome back the Crown Prince and appoint him as the heir. Lord Liang was displeased but had to use the excuse of further consideration. However, Li Ni continued, emphasizing that the Crown Prince's ascension was a rightful matter. In the end, Lord Liang simply dismissed Li Ni, telling him not to enter the palace casually. Li Ni stopped talking and returned home to rest, closing his doors to visitors, enjoying a carefree time with Cui Lin.

Li Ni covered his face with a book and lay leisurely in the courtyard. Suddenly, a hand reached out towards him. Although he couldn't see the person, the scent was familiar. Before the other's hand could touch him, Li Ni got up and firmly held Cui Lin's hand, pulling her into his embrace. With a smile in her eyes, Cui Lin pushed away Li Ni's approaching lips. With nothing else to do, the two went out to the streets, bought some gifts, and gave them to Concubine Xiao.

On the other side, seeing the new emperor's indifference towards the meritorious Li Ni, Gu Xiang immediately guessed that there was a schemer by his side. To stabilize the court, it was urgent to find a way to make Li Ni the Crown Prince. However, according to the current situation, it was necessary to legitimize Li Ni's birth mother, Liu Shi, before officially supporting him as the Crown Prince. But the new emperor insisted on posthumously conferring the title of Empress on the birth mother of Li Jun and Li Lai and making Li Ni's birth mother a concubine. For a while, the court was in turmoil, and many thought the decision was inappropriate.

Seeing the ministers standing up for Li Ni, the new emperor became even more furious. In front of everyone, he bluntly stated that Liu Shi's humble background was not worthy of being an empress. Hearing this, Li Ni finally couldn't sit still, stating that since his birth mother had a humble background, he would voluntarily renounce his title and go to Laoslan Pass. Hearing this, the courtiers were shocked. However, the new emperor seemed to have found an opportunity and hastily drove Li Ni away, afraid he might change his mind in the next moment.

Although the new emperor tried to drive away Li Ni, he was indeed a crucial figure in the court. After some reconciliation, the new emperor could only order Li Ni to reflect on his actions at home. While feeling sad, Li Ni had become accustomed to his father's neglect and his brother's hostility. He simply enjoyed drinking with his brothers at home, considering himself stationed at Laoslan Pass.

Seeing Li Ni acting so carefree, Pei Yuan was furious and scolded him. Li Ni had to summon him, revealing his plan. Although Sun Jing was currently unconscious due to poisoning in Dongguan, he would eventually wake up. The army he sent to Baiyue was already on its way back. If the army met them at Dongguan, it would be troublesome. Therefore, the best solution was for Pei Xian to send Pei Yuan to Changzhou to intercept the army heading to Dongguan. But before that, Li Ni had a more important task for Pei Yuan—to deliver a letter and a box of snacks to Cui Lin in Luoyang.
