This night, Li Ni led the Cui family army to sneak into Tong Pass through a well, opening the city gate. Knowing he had nowhere to escape, Sun Jing decided to take a gamble, using the Crown Prince as a bargaining chip for negotiation. At dawn, Sun Jing brought the Crown Prince to the city wall, intending to force Li Ni to withdraw from Tong Pass and have the new emperor abdicate in favor of the Crown Prince, restoring the rightful order. However, with the current situation settled, there was no room for changes, and naturally, Li Ni did not agree.

Sun Jing held the Crown Prince by the neck, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to break free. Despite this, the Crown Prince remained defiant, loudly telling Li Ni below that Sun must be killed. Li Ni, feeling reluctant, taunted Sun Jing, using a child as a bargaining chip. However, Sun Jing paid no attention to him, stating that if Li Ni didn't withdraw, he would take action. He drew his sword, pointing it at the Crown Prince's delicate neck. Li Ni hastily intervened, intending to exchange his life for the Crown Prince's.

Sun Jing sneered and surprisingly agreed to Li Ni's terms. Despite everyone's dissuasion, Li Ni raised his sword and approached his own neck. Just then, an arrow flew from somewhere, knocking down the sword in Li Ni's hand. Turning to look, it was Cui Lin, accompanied by a child of similar age to the Crown Prince. Cui Lin informed Li Ni that the one on the city wall was a fake Crown Prince, and the real one was with her. In disbelief, Li Ni looked at Cui Lin, his heart starting to waver. However, seeing Cui Lin's determined gaze, he had no choice but to believe her.

Later, Cui Lin focused on Sun Jing, stating that he was holding a fake Crown Prince. Sun Jing naturally knew that Cui Lin was lying, but the people around him couldn't tell who the real Crown Prince was. In the midst of confusion, Cui Lin gave the order to capture Sun Jing. Taking advantage of the chaos, General Han, who had returned with injuries, rushed to the city wall and rescued the Crown Prince from Sun Jing. Despite Sun Jing's last-ditch resistance, he was outnumbered, and with the poison in his body taking effect, he could only commit suicide on the city wall. Thus, the rebellion led by Sun Jing came to a complete end.

While clearing the battlefield, Cui Lin discovered that the Crown Prince was missing. Understanding the gravity of the situation, she confessed to Li Ni that the one she brought was the fake Crown Prince, and the one in Sun Jing's hands was the real one. Hearing this news, Li Ni became both anxious and desperate, quickly leaving the city to search. Due to the Crown Prince's disappearance, Li Ni unexpectedly had a dispute with Cui Lin. Feeling upset, Cui Lin didn't want to argue further with Li Ni and left.

Caught in a dilemma, Li Ni could only return to Tong Pass to handle affairs. Reviewing the letters that Sun Jing had failed to burn, Li Ni learned that someone in the court had been secretly colluding with Sun Jing. However, the identity of this person was deeply hidden, making it difficult to discern who it might be. Meanwhile, Liu Chengfeng found Li Lai and claimed to have a method to help him take control of the Eastern Palace. Worried about Li Ni threatening his position sooner or later, Li Lai decided to try Liu Chengfeng's method.

To lure Li Ni out, Liu Chengfeng even went so far as to poison Cui Lin. This poison was a secret toxin from Jieshuo, and even Tao Zi couldn't find a solution. Desperate, Tao Zi had no choice but to seek help from Li Ni. However, since Li Ni had almost been poisoned by Tao Zi and Lao Bao not long ago, he initially thought they intentionally claimed that Cui Lin was ill to make him apologize. Late at night, feeling extremely uneasy, he decided to wear night clothes and sneak into the camp of the Cui family army. Just as he was about to change clothes, he was summoned by Lao Bao. It was only at dawn that he managed to knock out Lao Bao and go alone to the camp of the Cui family army.

Unbeknownst to him, while waiting for Li Ni that night, Liu Chengfeng, fearing that Cui Lin had truly perished, secretly administered an antidote to her. So when Li Ni arrived, Cui Lin had already regained consciousness. With Li Ni's arrival, the misunderstandings between them deepened. However, Cui Lin was not one to beat around the bush. Even if she felt disheartened by Li Ni's actions, she wanted to tell him that if given another chance, she would still act the same way because, to her, Li Ni's life was more important than the Crown Prince's.

Cui Lin also told Li Ni that in the past few days, she had been in a daze, always hoping Li Ni would come to see her. Even if he scolded her, she wanted to at least know that he had a place for her in his heart. However, she only saw Li Ni when she woke up today and couldn't help feeling disappointed. Li Ni, in turn, expressed that the reason he was so concerned about the Crown Prince was to fulfill Xiao Shi's request. He didn't want to become a king; he just wanted to return to Laolan Pass with Cui Lin and live an ordinary life, gazing at the vast sky and clouds.

Upon hearing this, Cui Lin became even more helpless, asking Li Ni if he was confident in entrusting the world to the new emperor and his two brothers. Li Ni stuck to his firm belief that once the Crown Prince was found, he would have the new emperor declare him as the heir. Cui Lin questioned Li Ni on how he knew about the Crown Prince's aptitude, whether he would become an incompetent ruler when he grew up, and if he could handle ruling the world. Li Ni remained steadfast, asserting that the Crown Prince was the rightful heir, destined to inherit the throne, and there would be many capable advisors to assist him. Unable to bear it, Cui Lin sneered and asked Li Ni whether his two brothers would let the Crown Prince live to adulthood. Li Ni had never thought about such matters and didn't want to dwell on them; he just wanted peace in the world and to live a simple life with Cui Lin. However, Cui Lin was unwilling to say more.
