Episode 2

At the beginning of this episode, the audience witnessed a well-planned kidnapping case suffered by the crown prince Li Jian.A group of thugs drugged Li Jian and his companions and knocked them unconscious and took them away.All this stems from Choi Sang-rok's conspiracy.However, the motivation behind why Choi Sang-rok planned such a complicated kidnapping case is still confusing, adding a layer of mystery to the plot.

Choi Sang-rok made careful arrangements to ensure the smooth progress of the kidnapping case.He summoned Wu Yueyi and tried to use her to complete a key step.However, Wu Yueyi did not attend due to Cui Mingyun's assignment, which temporarily hindered Cui Sanglu's plan.But Cui Shanglu did not give up. He finally found Wu Yueyi and ordered her to use a special drug to put Cui Mingyun into a deep sleep for several hours.At the same time, he also assigned Wu Bai to guard Cui Mingyun's door to ensure that the plan could proceed smoothly.

It turns out that Cui Shanglu's conspiracy was to break the curse on Cui Mingyun.According to the old sage, the crown prince and Cui Mingyun need to wear wedding clothes and sleep together in order to synchronize their souls and lift the curse.However, there is a huge risk during the ceremony: if the crown prince wakes up during the ceremony and sees Cui Mingyun's face, the entire ceremony will fail.Cui Shanglu's careful arrangement of all this was to ensure the success of the ceremony.

However, the development of the plot did not go as Choi Sang-rok expected.Cui Mingyun woke up during the ceremony. She took quick action, exchanged clothes with the maid, and awakened the prince Li Jian.With the help of Cui Mingyun, Li Jian successfully escaped, and all this was done quietly in Cui Shanglu's manor, and the bodyguards knew nothing about it.

Subsequently, the entire palace fell into panic over the disappearance of the prince.The king mobilized all his power and vowed to find the missing prince as soon as possible.Cui Shanglu was urgently summoned to the castle to face the king's questioning.However, at this time, the prince Li Jian was under the care of Cui Mingyun. He knew nothing about his situation and could not determine the identity of the kidnapper.

The climax of the plot occurs in the confrontation between the Queen Mother and Li Jian.The Queen Mother learned that the prince already knew her secret, and she threatened the prince not to reveal it, otherwise he would be killed.This plot not only reveals the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Queen Mother, but also foreshadows the development of subsequent plots.

At the end of the series, when Li Jian and the king decided to reveal the Queen Mother's secret lover, they were assassinated by an assassin.Li Jian was unfortunately injured during his escape, and the betrayal of his cronies put him in a desperate situation.
