Xie Wei warned Zhou Yinzhi not to tell anyone about Jiang Xuening, otherwise he would kill him. Zhou Yinzhi felt aggrieved because Xue Guogong had begun to doubt himself. He wanted to use Jiang Xuening to threaten Xie Wei to help him out. Xie Wei agreed, as long as he was sincere to Jiang Xuening. Jiang Xuening was in danger. If they couldn't be stopped, Xie Wei planned to go to Tongzhou. Zhang Zhe and Jiang Xuening followed Huang to Sanniangzi's place, where King Pingnan's rebels gathered. Zhang Zhe said that he was from Dujun Mountain, but Sanniangzi discovered Jiang Xuening's identity as a woman. Zhang Zhe said that she was his sister, but still did not dispel their doubts.

Jiang's father was worried when he learned that Jiang Xuening was abducted by the rebel party. Xie Wei told him the truth and said that he would be personally responsible for bringing Jiang Xuening home safely. He wanted to hide the news from the public, Jiang's father would tell everyone that Jiang Xuening went to the temple to pray for her mother.

Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe are temporarily staying at Pingnan Wang Nidang's place tonight. Many details about Zhang Zhe reminded Jiang Xuening of what happened in her previous life. That time, Zhang Zhe refused to drink out of the cup that she had drunk out of during the assassination attempt. This time he drank out of the same cup with no hesitation.

The third wife arranged a separate room for the two of them to rest. She did not give up her doubts and eavesdropped outside. Zhang Zhe and Jiang Xuening could only communicate carefully by writing on their hands. Zhang Zhe would find a way to send Jiang Xuening back by having her pretend to be ill. As soon as he finished speaking, the ambiguity of the past life came to mind. Zhang Zhe wanted to go outside to for the night, but Jiang Xuening pulled his sleeve and said that it would arouse the other's suspicion, and she was afraid to be alone.

Xie Wei met with the Emperor and asked to give him the Yan family's seal to go to Tongzhou to support him. Duke Xue Guo was very unhappy when he learned that what happened last night was a ruse, and even more opposed to such a ruse. The original sage did not completely delegate power to Xie Wei. He only said that he should go there first and ask Duke Xue Guo to lead the military guards to reinforce him in a few days.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xuening slept soundly on Zhang Zhe, when news came that Feng Mingyu wanted to see Zhang Zhe. No one in Dujun Mountain had ever seen the real person. When Jiang Xuening saw that Feng Mingyu wanted to attack them, he immediately took Zhang Zhe's hand and scolded him, but Feng Mingyu did not confirm Zhang Zhe's identity and refused to agree. At this critical moment, Xue Dingfei appeared. Jiang Xuening was surprised when she saw this. Did Xue Dingfei in the previous life also return to the palace under the arrangement of King Pingnan? Xue Dingfei still looked like a carefree playboy. He came forward to confirmed Zhang Zhe's false identity for him, and Feng Mingyu didn't dare to say anything more.

Duke Xue Guogong received the news and asked him to take Xingwuwei to Tongzhou, but he was very wary of Xie Wei. Xie Wei rushed all the way from the palace to where Zhang Zhe and the others stayed.He found the clues left by Xiaobao, and decided to rush to Tongzhou as quickly as possible. Xue Dingfei found an opportunity to exchange news with Xiaobao, while Zhang Zhe looked around and found saltpeter on the carriage. Xue Dingfei broke into the carriage, but was threatened by Zhang Zhe in turn. Xue Dingfei told him about his mission, but Zhang Zhe keenly noticed that he was working for Xie Wei. Xue Dingfei was very depressed about this. Zhang Zhe believed that Xie Wei was too involved in rebelling against the party, but Jiang Xuening firmly believed that Xie Wei was a good person, but Zhang Zhe said that wrong is wrong, which made Jiang Xuening even more sad.

Xie Wei rushed to the Tongzhou military camp, but the Yan family army did not trust him. It was not until he saw the letter left by Yan's father that Xie Wei's words were trusted.
