In prison, Gu Qingqiao was tortured in turn by the jailer. Even though she was covered with bruises, she still didn't believe Duan Yu's transformation. She begged the jailer to let her meet Duan Yu and tell the truth.

Gu Qingqiao, who mistakenly believed that Duan Yu had been deceiving him from the beginning, was disheartened.Duan Yu walked out of the prison holding back tears and shouted angrily at the officers and soldiers that if Gu Qingqiao had any shortcomings, he would not be spared. Magistrate Du sent someone to ask a doctor to treat Gu Qingqiao with a cold face.
Duan Yan concluded that Magistrate Du was determined not to hand Gu Qingqiao over to the Duan family for interrogation, so he took the opportunity to force the Duan family to propose marriage and persuaded Duan Yu to marry Du Ruoyun as soon as possible. The two families joined forces, but Duan Yu strongly opposed it.
Duan Yu learned that Duan Yan had decided to ask Gu Qingqiao to show up, and used his plan to rob the execution ground to save people.On the eve of the beheading, a child who called himself Bat'er sneaked into the prison and told Gu Qingqiao that Lu Zizheng would come to rescue her and tell her the plan to escape.
