Under the warm veil of imperial power, Emperor Xie Che expressed to Jiang Ci his deep memory of King Xie Chun of Qi, claiming that they had a deep brotherly love, but he still regretted Xie Chun's early death.In order to make up for his debt to Jiang Ci, he sincerely invited her to live in the palace.Faced with this sudden invitation, Jiang Ci hesitated at first, but was finally moved by Xie Che's sincerity and decided to stay.At the same time, she begged Xie Che to allow her master Yan Qiaoshuang to remain free from the constraints of the palace. Xie Che then ordered Wei Zhao to properly take care of Yan Qiaoshuang outside the palace.
Wei Zhao learned a secret from Yan Qiaoshuang: Xie Che had imprisoned Xie Chun, which made him worried that Jiang Ci would also become a prisoner in the palace, so he proposed to Xie Che to investigate Jiang Ci's life experience in detail and doubt that he was not of Xie Chun's blood.Pei Yan heard the news and Jiang Ci entered the palace, eager to meet her, but Wei Zhao blocked her on the grounds of safety, and even wanted to take her back to the Guangming Department for closer investigation.Xie Che, because Jiang Ci resembles Xie Chun, firmly believes in his identity and intends to make him the princess. Pei Yan is happy to see this happen, while Wei Zhao secretly deploys protection.
Jiang Ci was placed in Yuchunxuan, and Tao Zizhu carefully selected his attendants to serve him.In order to marry Jiang Ci, Pei Yan did not hesitate to break off the engagement with the Dong family, and even wanted to ask Xie Che for a marriage, which shows her determination.After Rong Yudie learned Jiang Ci's true identity, she was shocked and angry at Pei Yan's decision.
As night fell, Jiang Ci wanted to escape, but Pei Yan promised to take her far away with an affectionate vow, which made her shaken.Wei Zhao reached out to help in the dark, using the cover of night to skillfully send Jiang Ci out of the palace and regain his freedom.
