Episode 8

Ergui stayed in Jinhua's boudoir, while Gui'er and Jinhua's maid Lisa were waiting outside.Lisa tried to arouse Gui'er's jealousy, but Gui'er's mind had already drifted to the past night, when she spent the whole night sewing clothes for Si Zuxian, and the warmth in the memory made her smile.

Although accompanied by misfortune, Jin Hua could not sleep.So Ergui decided to let her indulge in the fragrance of wine until she fell asleep.He took the opportunity to search in the Golden Flower Room, and then left with Guier.

Ergui admitted that he had not spent the night with Jinhua, but Guier suggested that he should not do so.Ergui was confused by this. He didn't understand how Guier could tolerate the one she loved hugging others.Guier told the truth. She knew that Ergui was not Si Zuxian, so she would not be angry because she slept with the queen.

Guier confessed to Ergui that she had never had any love for him, and her heart only belonged to Si Zuxian.Ergui begs Gui'er to belong to him only, thinking that she once had love for him, but was taken away by Si Zuxian.The heartbroken Ergui decided to spend ten days without sleep and sent Chi Quanshu to find the wizard Zhongtai.

Gui Er learned from the palace guards that the women ordered to be released by Si Zuxian were sent out of the palace late at night.She then asked Hong Jun to deliver the news to Zai Yi, and the two discovered that women kept disappearing from the village.

Gui Er originally wanted to discuss the matter with Si Zuxian, but unexpectedly encountered a misfortune that kept her awake for days.Guier began to feel frustrated, and she begged Ergui to help His Majesty resolve the matter, but Ergui still refused to be king and sought a way to seal Si Zuxian.Zhongtai (female personality) mentioned that Ergui was waiting for the full moon, and then under Si Zulong's temptation, Zhongtai revealed information about Si Zuxian.

The ministers knelt outside the palace to protest Si Zuxian's tax decree and tried to manipulate the king.However, Ergui remained unmoved.After having the ministers kneel down in the rain to compete, Gui'er successfully convinces Ergui that he should find a more sensible solution.

Ergui was furious. He felt that everything he did was wrong. What made him even more angry was Guier's ruthlessness towards him.He didn't understand why Guier could endure the humiliation in the palace just to get close to Si Zuxian.When Ergui suggested escaping from the palace, Guier became angry.

Concubine Zheng once asked Gui'er to give her a massage. In order to humiliate Gui'er, Jinhua deliberately kept her on call at any time.However, Gui'er agreed to meet Concubine Zheng for another reason. She suspected that Si Zulong was not of royal blood.She cleverly deduced this by observing Si Zulong's resemblance to his uncle.Under Concubine Zheng's strict request, Guier promised not to disclose the matter to others.

Gui'er happened to meet Si Zulong outside Si Zulong's mother's pavilion, and he ordered Gui'er to leave the palace.Guier refused and admitted that she was not afraid of him, and at the same time saw through his bad motives and attempts to harm her.Si Zulong reluctantly revealed that he had no choice but to get rid of Gui'er.

That night, Guier sent Zai Yi and Xia Lang to investigate the missing women.Later, she encountered Si Zulong's men and almost died.Si Zulong drugged Guier and took her to the mourning hall to commit suicide. Fortunately, Ergui rescued her in time.

After Gui'er wakes up, Ergui asks her to leave the palace because he can't bear to see her falling in love with Si Zuxian.He promised to join forces with Si Zuxian to govern the country, threatening that if Gui'er decided to stay, he would destroy all Si Zuxian's plans.Guier chose to leave after making a painful decision, but Ergui felt guilty because he could not let her meet Si Zuxian.He decided to let Guier meet Si Zuxian before leaving, although it was extremely painful for him.

Finally, Guier accidentally discovered that Si Zuxian had returned.As she prepared to leave, the two kissed outside the room.The heartbroken Ergui bid her farewell with tears and wished her happiness in the future.
