When Cui Lin woke up, all the generals were very happy. However, regarding the order to capture Young Master Cui, everyone was confused. Liu Chengfeng's conspiracy was exposed, and he, in his anger, didn't care about the father-son relationship and ordered the public execution of Cui Lin. Cui Lin, having experienced numerous battles, was not someone these inexperienced soldiers could easily capture. However, Liu Chengfeng ordered his subordinate Ashu to launch a surprise attack directly on Cui Lin. In the critical moment, Cui Lin arrived in time. Later, Li Ni also arrived.

During the fight, Cui Lin identified the soldiers following Liu Chengfeng's orders and learned that they were sworn enemies of the Cui family from Jieshuo. Infuriated, Cui Lin's attacks became more ruthless. Liu Chengfeng, showing no remorse, turned the tables and accused Cui Lin of never treating him as a true son and exploiting the so-called father-son relationship. Enraged, Cui Lin publicly declared that Captain He by his side was his true child. Gaining confidence, he pointed accusingly at Liu Chengfeng, stating that he had always acted in the military as Cui Lin. Today, by bringing in external enemies, Liu Chengfeng had forfeited the right to be his son, leaving Cui Lin with only a daughter.

With a command from Cui Lin, they tried to capture the traitor. Unexpectedly, Liu Chengfeng had brought many Jieshuo people, and if anything happened to him, the entire Cui residence would be buried. Cui Lin was infuriated, but Cui Lin informed him that Li Ni had set up an ambush outside the city. Liu Chengfeng and the Jieshuo people fell into the trap, but unfortunately, due to the potent poison from Jieshuo, they managed to escape. When Lao Bao delivered this news to Li Ni, he regretted not bringing back Liu Chengfeng's head himself.

After the situation calmed down a bit, Cui Lin learned from Li Ni that a few days ago, he and Tao Zi had infiltrated the Cui residence to investigate his father's illness. Later, Tao Zi had administered the right medicine and secretly treated his father. Cui Lin felt both fortunate and resentful at Liu Chengfeng's betrayal.

Meanwhile, the new emperor learned that Cui Lin only had a daughter and felt relieved, thinking that the Cui family wouldn't pose a threat in the future. However, to use the Cui family's army for himself, he planned to adopt a son from the Cui family. Empress Lu found this inappropriate and suggested asking Cui Lin if he was willing to have his daughter become a princess in the imperial city.

When Cui Lin's health improved, Li Ni went to find him again to discuss unfinished matters. Li Ni pointed out that the Cui family army's occupation of Changzhou was criticized by the court, and they had to be wary of Sun Jing. Moreover, Changzhou was far from Luoyang, Weiyang, Jianzhou, Bingshou, and even Pingliang Yingzhou. Being entangled in these places, the Cui family army might not be worth the trouble. However, if they exchanged Weiyang for Luoyang and Changzhou, the Cui family army might legitimately control military power. The court could then decree that Cui Lin manage the affairs of Pingliang and Weiyang. After some consideration, Cui Lin agreed but insisted on not abandoning Luoyang.

Later, Li Ni proposed that Cui Lin and he jointly lead the troops to eradicate Sun Jing at Tong Pass. This way, the court would acknowledge the Cui family's merit in eliminating rebels and stop causing trouble. Cui Lin agreed, but he intended to go personally. Hearing this, Li Ni couldn't help but laugh; Cui Lin had previously told him that he would respond this way. Cui Lin, embarrassed and angry, realized that Li Ni didn't come to discuss but to inform.

General Han, fleeing with the Crown Prince, was unexpectedly found by Sun Jing. Despite their efforts to protect the Crown Prince, they were overwhelmed and defeated. General Han fell into a cliff, and the Crown Prince became a pawn in Sun Jing's hands. Upon learning this, Xiao Shi urgently wrote to Li Ni, asking for help in rescuing the Crown Prince. For personal and public reasons, Li Ni was unwilling to let anything happen to the Crown Prince, so he readily agreed to Xiao Shi's request.
