The news from the frontier reached the chopping wood, and Liang Yi learned that Qiu Yi had contracted a disease while in exile, and he still did not get better after four or five days of treatment. Only then did he realize that the time was running out and he should come up with a solution immediately, and told Song Jin not to tell Qiu Yan for the time being. To keep her from worrying about it. Later, Liang Yi went to find his old friend Gao Yang, just for the night pearl in his hand. According to legend, this pearl can cure all ailments. Even if the Gao family was in a downfall and living in poverty, Gao Yang never thought of selling the pearl.
Therefore, Gao Yang's original intention was not about the amount of money, let alone glory and wealth, but to ask Liang Yi to submit a memorial to the sage to be fair to his father, Lu Guo. Liang Yi didn't agree immediately, because there were too many grievances involved. When he came to his father's grave, he couldn't help expressing his anguish.
When Liang's father died under the sword of Duke Lu, Liang Yi once made an oath to let Duke Lu pay his life for his life and ruin his reputation, including that the Gao family would never be turned over. But now, the Qiu family thought that they were in danger. Liang Yi promised Qiu Yan that they would never let the Qiu family decline completely, so in order to save her from the sea of misery, she had to bow to Gao Yang, because she was very important to him.
In the middle of the night, Liang Yi drank a lot of wine and went home. It happened that Qiu Yan was looking for something to make paper kites, and unexpectedly found that her favorite Dashuoqi case record was actually written by Liang Yi. The inexplicable fate made Qiu Yan's heart move again. She couldn't help but share the matter with Liang Yi. How could she know that Liang Yi was suddenly upset.
While Qiu Yan went to the kitchen to cook, Liang Yi tore up everything he had written, and when Qiu Yan returned to the room with the food, she saw Liang Yi lying on the bed in a drowsiness. There were broken pieces of paper scattered next to it, but to Qiu Yan, it was very precious. She stayed up all night to pick up the record of the strange case and carefully pieced it together.
Qiu Min knew that he could not replace Qiu Yan's position in Qin Xuan's heart, so he retreated as his advance, packed up and left alone, leaving a goodbye letter full of scheming. Sure enough, Qin Xuan blamed himself for this, and wanted to go out to find Qiu Min, but he couldn't find a needle in a haystack. At this time, Qiu Min returned to Guangji Academy, endured Aunt Liu's complaints, and continued to pretend to be pitiful and went to work next to him.
Under the guidance of Mrs. Jin, Qiu Yan finally succeeded in making paper kites and spent a pleasant afternoon together. Qiu Yan curiously asked about the record of the strange case, so that she learned about Liang Yi's past experience through Mrs. Jin. In fact, the character of Liang Yi back then was completely opposite to that of now, but since his father died, Liang Yi seemed to have grown up overnight, vowed to kill his enemies, and became more and more indifferent. It was also because of Qiu Yan's appearance that Mrs. Jin saw a touch of humanity in her son. She hoped that Qiu Yan could accompany Liang Yi forever, and Qiu Yan readily agreed.
Liang Yi wrote the memorial overnight and successfully obtained the family heirloom of the Gao family. Then he sent a skilled craftsman to carve it, and handed it over to General He personally, asking him to come forward and present it to the emperor. General He lamented that Liang Yi had really worked hard for the Qiu family. Although he had been a little unhappy before, he was still willing to help for Liang Yi's sake. After all, they were all grasshoppers on the same rope.
Mrs. Jin helped Qiu Yan build a bridge and took her son to watch her carefully prepared program. The content of the play was exactly the judgment written by Liang Yi. Liang Yi's inner gloom dissipated instantly, saying that he was not as good as she imagined, and everything he did had a purpose, and even affected the Qiu family.
But Qiu Yan didn't care, and in turn comforted Liang Yi as long as she tried her best, and she didn't have to feel guilty and self-blame. Qiu Yan remembered that these words were written by Liang Yi, so she hoped that Liang Yi could understand that everyone is a floating cloud, and many things cannot be perfected.
General He personally went to the palace to face the saint, claiming that the eldest son guarding the frontier accidentally picked up a night pearl, so he was responsible for presenting it. Although in the eyes of outsiders, this is just an ordinary bead, but it is engraved with a picture of immortals ascending, and because the emperor has cultivated immortals and alchemy for many years, he firmly believes that this bead is the divine bead recorded by Hongzhenmen, as long as it is consecrated by Xuannv, It is bound to be able to wash away the vulgar atmosphere and protect yourself for a long life.
Liang Yi seized this opportunity to cater to the holy will, and the national teacher didn't care whether someone did it deliberately. Following this incident, he took the initiative to reveal the characteristics of Xuannv to the emperor. The emperor appointed Yan Dianshuai to find Xuannv, who must be dressed in white, frequent the water's edge, and be a virgin.
Qiu Yan knew Liang Yi's plan, and thought that as long as Xuannv was placed in the place mentioned by the national teacher, the emperor's trust could be gained. The most urgent task at the moment is to know the information that Yan Dianshuai has as soon as possible. Liang Yi asked Shi Xiaoxiao to approach Yan Dianshuai, promising to redeem her from Jiaofangsi after this incident is over.
Shi Xiaoxiao loves Liang Yi, but because Liang Yi has no feelings for herself, she dismisses the idea of redemption. She just wants to stay in the Jiaofang Division and continue to work for the chopping wood. Soon Shi Xiaoxiao went to the military camp to serve Yan Dianshuai, and successfully obtained clues related to it, but there was no precise time and place, only the location of the items.
Combining these clues, Liang Yi and Qiu Yan speculated on several places, and then came to Guangji Academy, planning to make Qiu Mei disguised as a mysterious girl by chance encounter. However, Qiumei always stutters nervously, and the Qiu family's daughters feel unreliable, but Qiu Min volunteered and was rejected by Qiu Yan, after all, she didn't want to risk her life.
