> Royal Rumours Recap
Concubine Xian received news from Xiao Ba that Hua Liuli had drunk all the medicine and was preparing to attend her Plum Blossom Banquet. During the banquet, Princess Jiamin wore a fine cloud brocade while Hua Liuli wore a simple cloak. However, her headpiece caught the attention of Miss Yao. The Crown Prince observed the movements of the small Western country and found it interesting. Xiao Ba was curious if the wine he was drinking was the same as the one at Concubine Xian's banquet.
During the banquet, Jiamin performed a sword dance while Hua Liuli thought it was just a showy display. However, she also showed off her own talent and removed her cloak to reveal a beautiful red dress. She danced like an elf in the snow, even catching the attention of the Crown Prince. Concubine Xian had intended to embarrass Hua Liuli but was surprised by her performance. She asked Hua Liuli what dance she had performed, and Hua Liuli replied that it was a "face dance" where the coins did not hit her face. Jiamin was angered by this and turned green. After Hua Liuli left, Concubine Xian realized she had underestimated her. The other noble ladies praised Hua Liuli's dancing skills. Hua Liuli saw Lord Ying approaching and deliberately said that Jiamin would like him. Jiamin replied that Yun Han was a better match for her and left.
In front of everyone, Concubine Xian intentionally made Lord Ying apologize to Hua Liuli for scaring her during their horse ride, hoping to embarrass Hua Liuli. Concubine Xian gave Hua Liuli a cane, but Hua Liuli refused to take it, making others think that Concubine Xian was forcing her. In desperation, Concubine Xian had to use the cane to hit her own son, pretending to be a victim and making Hua Liuli feel guilty.
Hua Liuli recognized the faces of two familiar people and suspected that they were there to poison her. She gave them a cup of wine with a laxative, causing them to have diarrhea. The Crown Prince stopped Hua Liuli and asked her to stay, but she said she was weak and needed to leave. However, he noticed the wine in her hand and wanted to drink it. Hua Liuli didn't want him to drink it, so she drank it all and fainted in Ji Yuansu's arms. Concubine Xian was very worried and kept walking back and forth, saying that she didn't do it. The Crown Prince asked if there was an antidote, and a servant found a porcelain bottle containing San Xi San poison. The Crown Prince said that the person who took it would die within three breaths, and Concubine Xian asked him to clear her name. In fact, Hua Liuli had already replaced the San Xi San with a laxative, and she woke up soon after. The Crown Prince asked how she was, and Hua Liuli went to the toilet many times with Yan Wei. The doctor said that Hua Liuli's body was unique and could turn San Xi San into diarrhea. Everyone thought that Hua Liuli's body was so weak that she could turn San Xi San into diarrhea by herself. The Crown Prince found that the porcelain bottle containing San Xi San was full, but her symptoms were similar to those of Qian Li Yi Xie. The Crown Prince helped Hua Liuli leave, hoping that she wouldn't protect herself so much, but Hua Liuli didn't take his words to heart. As soon as she got on the carriage, she vomited blood. She was really poisoned, but she didn't show it. Yuan Wei quickly took her back to the Hua Mansion, and Hua Liuli instructed Song Guang to bring Hua Yingting's detoxification pill and not to tell anyone about her poisoning.
The Emperor scolded Concubine Xian and postponed the wedding, sending the Crown Prince to investigate the culprit. Thanks to Hua Yingting's detoxification pill, Hua Liuli's condition was not so serious anymore, and she missed her parents very much. Ji Yuansu asked Pei Jihuai for news and learned that Lord Ying had recovered from his injuries. He immediately ordered his men to prepare horses.
