Jin Qi went to Yangzhou to look for someone, and Ji'er let Lan Xiang go.

Jin Qi changed Uncle Liu's clothes and brought him to the Zhao family and his son in a dignified manner. He introduced him as a gentleman who can sing Kunqu opera. The other party was not suspicious and just urged them to leave.Back at the Lin Mansion, Uncle Liu drew a fake appearance as a handyman, and Jin Qi talked to him alone again.The officers and soldiers' actions of checking their fingers, coupled with Uncle Liu's incomplete index finger, allowed Jin Qi to guess his identity. The so-called injury while chopping firewood was actually to hide the fact that his index finger was longer than his middle finger.

Jin Qi did not point it out directly, but asked Nan Ke to find a similar corpse to replace it.He did not want any more bloodshed in Jinling and advised Uncle Liu that it would be safer to go overseas, and Uncle Liu agreed.On Lan Xiang's side, Jin Qi also found out that Zheng Baichuan was responsible. The fake handyman had been silenced and he was sent to Yangzhou.He asked Han Liang to tell the Xu family and his wife that he would bring them back.

Jin Qi consulted with Marquis Yongchang.The emperor was in poor health, but the prince could not leave Jinling without orders. Returning to the capital without permission was tantamount to treason; Zheng Baichuan was a member of the Han Dynasty, and the situation was already very dangerous.The two tried to protect the prince back to Beijing, and went to Yangzhou not only to find a safe waterway, but also to save Lanxiang.Jin Qi set out the next day and handed Uncle Liu over to a reliable boat gang boss to arrange for him to go on a long journey.

Lanxiang was sold into Qingyan Building.The proprietress Liu Yueniang punished the disobedient girl by splattering two drops of blood on her fan. In order to temporarily save her life, Lan Xiang took the initiative to use rouge to paint the blood spots into flowers to let her see her painting skills.Lan Xiang behaved obediently at first, but Yueniang was still afraid that something might happen if it took too long, so she planned to arrange guests for her the next day, and she kept a close eye on her, so there was almost no way for her to escape.

The top guy in the building came to see Lan Xiang and took off his mask. It turned out to be Lu Ji'er who was sold two years ago.She always remembered Lanxiang's kindness in saving her from the staff, and was willing to take risks to help her escape.Lan Xiang promised to come back to redeem her life after escaping danger, and Ji'er also said she would wait.Lan Xiang finally left the Qingyan Building, but Yueniang soon realized that she was missing and sent someone to chase her. Jin Qi also just got the news and rushed to the building immediately.
