The Crown Prince naturally wanted to return to the Western Capital, but the current situation in the capital was unclear, and returning now might be more perilous than auspicious. Therefore, he had to stay outside the city with General Han, waiting for the right moment. Fortunately, this place was remote, and the sounds of reading were heard all day. The Crown Prince was pleased, hoping to read more books here.

Gu Wanniang took her wet nurse to a temple outside the city to pray for blessings. During the worship of the Empress Liu's portrait, Gu Wanniang pretended to accidentally damage a corner of the painting. She then volunteered to repair the image. While repairing it, she deliberately revealed to Li Ni that royal women liked to affix gold to silk clothes, and silk was highly flammable, making it comparable to oil when stacked together. Li Ni seemed to understand something and promptly ordered Pei Yuan to steal some soil from Prince Xin's mansion, revealing numerous small gold beads hidden within.

Following this lead, Pei Yuan continued the investigation and discovered a connection between Prince Xin's mansion and the flooding incident. Li Ni was furious, unable to believe that Li Jun could be so ruthless. In the past, his father and two brothers disliked him, and only his sister-in-law cared for him. Now, for the sake of the Crown Prince position, Li Jun had killed his sister-in-law with his own hands. The next day at court, Li Ni intentionally stayed away, and someone suggested that, with Prince Xin losing his wife, he could seek to marry a daughter from the Cui family. Li Jun feigned sadness while inwardly rejoicing.

At that moment, Li Ni arrived and reported that Prince Xin had drugged his wife and the attendants, filled the room with flammable materials, intentionally set it on fire, and burned Prince Xin's wife and everyone in the mansion alive. The court was in an uproar. With evidence and witnesses, the new emperor was furious and ordered Li Jun to be confined to Prince Xin's mansion. In this way, Li Ni avenged his sister-in-law, but he couldn't feel any joy. He was puzzled by the cutthroat nature of the imperial city, where everyone seemed willing to resort to any means for a little gain, even if it meant killing their closest people. He couldn't help but reminisce about the carefree days in Laos Lan Pass but also had to reconsider what Cui Lin had said.

After learning about Prince Xin's wife, Cui Lin was worried about Li Ni and quietly came to Leyou Yuan. Li Ni told Cui Lin that he couldn't understand how Li Jun, his wife, could be so heartless. Cui Lin comforted him, explaining that the Eastern Palace, being the heir's position, could drive people to madness due to the desire for power. This was why Li Ni had always avoided any ties to the Eastern Palace. From a young age, he knew that the magnificent Eastern Palace, coveted by everyone, was a cage, and he didn't want himself and Cui Lin's future children to live in such a cage. However, now Li Ni had entered the game.

Liu Chengfeng set an ambush, captured Cui Lin, and drugged her, making her unable to move in bed. On the other side, Tao Zi, who couldn't wait for Cui Lin, tried to find her using the bait. Previously, Cui Lin's whereabouts were unknown, and it was Tao Zi who used bait to find her. But this time, the bait didn't work. Tao Zi had no choice but to return to the imperial city and inform Li Ni. Li Ni pondered the details and speculated that Liu Chengfeng had abducted Cui Lin, and they were likely near the border of Dayu and Jieshuo.

Cui Lin told Liu Chengfeng that she would not like him, regardless of Li Ni's presence. In Cui Lin's heart, Liu Chengfeng had always been like a brother, an irreplaceable childhood companion, but he would never be a husband, a lifelong companion. Liu Chengfeng was heartbroken, explaining that he only sought the people of Jieshuo to survive. Only by staying alive could he have a chance with her. However, the situation was irreversible, and Cui Lin would neither like nor forgive Liu Chengfeng.
