Episode 2

Fan Xian sent Wang Qinian to inquire about Teng Zijin's wife and children, but found nothing. When he found out that Fan Xian's death was not only widely spread among the people, but also in the officialdom, Wang Qinian hurried home from a secret way to report the news to Fan Xian, and persuaded Fan Xian to fly away.Otherwise, he would definitely die if he faked his own death to deceive the emperor. Fan Xian ignored Wang Qinian's dissuasion and decided to go to Emperor Qing to explain the situation.

Fan Xian pretended to be an assassin and broke into the palace, asking Eunuch Hou to report to Emperor Qing. Eunuch Hou knew that this might lead to his death, so he advised Fan Xian to leave as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be at risk.Chen Pingping arrived in time to stop him. Fan Xian hated Chen Pingping deeply. Her life had been hanging by a thread many times in Northern Qi, but Chen Pingping had sworn to protect his black knight but never showed up. Chen Pingping saw the murderous look in Fan Xian's eyes, and heNot wanting to explain too much, he agreed to persuade the emperor and reminded Fan Xian to be prepared for bad things and not to implicate Fan's house. Fan Xian handed the temple map he drew to Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping came to see Emperor Qing tremblingly and told the news that Fan Xian was alive. He put in good words for Fan Xian in front of Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing didn't buy it and forcibly drove Chen Pingping away. He thought twice before reluctantly agreeing to see Fan Xian.Fan Xian knelt down in front of Emperor Qing for the first time and truthfully reported his experience in Northern Qi. He repeatedly defended his fake death and reported in detail the crime of Li Chengze and Li Yunrui colluding with the Jinyi Guards of Northern Qi to smuggle and make huge profits. Emperor Qing ignored him.With his back turned to him on the bed, Fan Xian had no choice but to tell Emperor Qing the location of the temple, and Emperor Qing slowly stood up, but soon lay down. Fan Xian kept expressing his loyalty to Emperor Qing, and even though he said nice things, it was of no avail.Emperor Qing suddenly yelled "Get lost". Fan Xian knew that Emperor Qing would not kill him for the time being. He was relieved and hurriedly got up and left.

Fan Xian came to Yanhua Palace to find Prince Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian pretended to know nothing and acted stupid in front of Fan Xian. Fan Xian told Li Yunrui and Li Chengze that they had secretly colluded with Northern Qi to smuggle. Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. He did not believe that this was the case.Indeed, Li Yunrui was clearly on his side, and he also regarded Li Yunrui as his backer. Fan Xian spoke conclusively, telling everything Li Yunrui and Li Chengze had done.Li Chengqian just woke up from his dream. He agreed to cooperate with Fan Xian and sent people to investigate Li Yunrui and Li Chengze. In order to block the news, he also executed all the guards outside the door.

Wang Qinian learned that Fan Xian had gone to Li Chengqian to cooperate and complained that he was too reckless.
