Episode 9

Just as the consort was about to attack Ye Shao, he suddenly heard a voice saying that since Ye Shao is Yuan Mingyu's celebrity, keeping him will be useful in the future.The prince-in-law could only stop, but he said that although he could not kill Ye Shao, he could make his life worse than death.The eldest prince went to see his father Yuan Tu and said that his sister Mingyu was recuperating in the mansion and that he was willing to continue disaster relief for her, which could be regarded as sharing his father's worries.Yuan Tu asked the eldest prince what he planned to do. The eldest prince said impassionedly that he found that Mingyu had offended many ministers during the disaster relief. They were the pillars of the court and he wanted to bring order to the chaos.

Ye Shao learned that Yuan Mingyu planned to hold an auction to raise disaster relief funds, and thought that Yuan Mingyu was really going to change her ways, and he could help her secretly. If he didn't really want to provide disaster relief, it would not be too late for him to take action.Yuan Mingyu told Jinlan about the auction, but reminded her not to let Guard Ye know about it, because Ye Shao had begun to doubt her identity as a princess, and he couldn't let him know about selling off the things in the princess's mansion.Ye Shao received a message from his uncle about the flying knife, asking him to find the fish charm as soon as possible and complete the great cause of restoring the country.Yuan Tu became furious after hearing this. Yuan Mingyu caught corrupt officials during the disaster relief operation. He also knew that these pillars had been corroded, yet the eldest prince actually wanted to bring order to them. Did he think he still had money in his treasury for them to embezzle?Seeing his father's rage, the eldest prince quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, and Yuan Tu left angrily.

Yuan Mingyu was worried that Ye Shao would not return and was so anxious that something must have happened to him.Sun Xiang secretly investigated and discovered that Ye Shao was being imprisoned and tortured by the consort, and they also planned to set fire to the grain depot.Sun Xiang told Yuan Mingyu the situation, and Yuan Mingyu ordered his generals to report to the emperor immediately that the grain depot was about to be destroyed by Zhurong.She desperately broke through the siege of the imperial army and led people to the dilapidated house, where she saw that Ye Shao had been tortured by the consort and was scarred.Yuan Mingyu warned the consort that the emperor already knew what he had done and asked him to surrender immediately.In order to rescue Ye Shao, Yuan Mingyu took the initiative to be a hostage. Ye Shao struggled to break free from the rope and subdued the consort.Yuan Mingyu and Ye Shao saw their true love in a difficult situation and no longer tried to hide it, expressing their love for each other.
