Episode 6 recap: Qi Yan discovered that Li Meng Meng is a woman.
Li Meng Meng told Zhou Quan that of course, her career is important, and Qi Yan can only come after money. Qi Yan overheard this and walked over, asking Lu Huan to collect all the money. Seeing this, Zhou Quan quickly ran away, but Kong An happened to see it and chased after him.Zhou Quan, scared, hurriedly ran away but unexpectedly slipped and fell. Kong An quickly came over and helped her up. Zhou Quan told him not to pretend and asked why he was chasing her. Kong An said he saw her running, so he instinctively chased after her. He noticed that Zhou Quan's hand was bleeding, so he gave her the golden medicine given to him by the emperor.
Qi Yan was still angry, but Li Meng Meng said that he had already taken all her money, so why was he still angry? While they were talking, Li Meng Meng heard Qi Yan's stomach growling, so she told him that she would make him a delicious dish from her hometown to make him feel better.
Li Meng Meng cooked a package of snail noodles for Qi Yan. When Qi Yan smelled it, he asked why it smelled like feces instead of the delicacy from her hometown. Li Meng Meng told him that the dish is called snail noodles, and although it smells bad, it tastes delicious. Saying that, she fed Qi Yan a spoonful, and after eating it, Qi Yan fainted on Li Meng Meng's bed.
No matter how much Li Meng Meng called him, Qi Yan didn't wake up. She thought that she would definitely be executed now. Li Meng Meng put on her backpack and prepared to try going back again. She approached Qi Yan and said that when she first met him, she really disliked him. But after getting to know him, she realized that Qi Yan was not a tyrant. She told Qi Yan that if there is another life, they will meet again.
Saying that, Li Meng Meng jumped into a water tank. Qi Yan heard this and quickly jumped off the bed and pulled Li Meng Meng out. Qi Yan told Li Meng Meng that he was just joking with her. Li Meng Meng was somewhat angry and told Qi Yan that no one should joke about someone's life.
Before Li Meng Meng could say much, Qi Yan fainted again on the ground. This time, he truly fainted. He asked Li Meng Meng to quickly go and call the imperial physician. It turns out that Qi Yan is allergic to peanuts, and Li Meng Meng didn't know and let him eat them.
When Qi Yan woke up, he saw Li Meng Meng holding something that Lu Huan had found in Li Meng Meng's backpack, which included the C-love powder that Cui Wan Er had asked Li Meng Meng to keep. Both Qi Yan and Li Meng Meng had no idea what it was, so Qi Yan asked Li Meng Meng to open it.
After Li Meng Meng opened it, both of them leaned in to smell it. The powder from the C-love powder entered their noses, and Li Meng Meng lost consciousness. She took off her outer garment, and that's when Qi Yan realized that Li Meng Meng was actually a woman.
The next morning, Li Meng Meng remembered what had happened the previous night, and she felt that she could no longer face Qi Yan. The semi-annual assessment for new court officials began, and Li Meng Meng didn't understand why there was still an assessment for court officials. Zhen Xu was reporting to Qi Yan about the construction of the canal, but Qi Yan wasn't paying attention. He was only thinking about Li Meng Meng.
Qi Yan asked Lu Huan why Li Meng Meng hadn't come today, and Lu Huan told him that it was the day of the court officials' assessment. Qi Yan thought it would be good for Li Meng Meng to experience some difficulties and learn something. The final part of the assessment was a physical examination, and Li Meng Meng was afraid that her identity as a woman would be exposed.
She was about to find an excuse to escape, but she was unsuccessful. Qi Yan thought that the court officials' assessment was for his benefit, so he decided to go and see. Just as Qi Yan was about to go and see the assessment, he was stopped by Qi Su. It turned out that Qi Su wanted to see what Qi Yan would do during the physical examination. He asked Qi Yan if he didn't want to know about Li Meng Meng.
Qi Yan immediately instructed Lu Huan to bring Li Meng Meng to the study and wait for him. The High Priest also discovered that Li Meng Meng was the Xiao Divine Envoy who had prayed for rain that day. The High Priest hurriedly went to find Cui Anshi, who was preparing to inform the Empress Dowager.
When he went to see the Empress Dowager, Cui Wan Er was also present. The Empress Dowager told Cui Anshi that she had just had someone verify that Cui Wan Er had not shared a palace with Qi Yan. Cui Anshi felt that all of this was because of Li Meng Meng, and Cui Wan Er was about to plead for Li Meng Meng when Cui Anshi interrupted her.
