Episode 12 recap: The heart of Ling Zhi.
For the purpose of torturing Bing Jian, the Empress Dowager specially formulated a potion and poured it all over Bing Jian's body. Bing Jian was in excruciating pain, and his magical abilities also started to leak out. Mu Xuan Jue soon learned of this news. This poison can target all supernatural beings, and now that Bing Jian has fallen into misfortune, it seems they are about to launch an attack on the supernatural tribes.
Huan Fei also learned of Mu Xuan Jue's recent fondness for Ling Zhi, and perhaps she would soon be on equal footing with herself. To prevent this from happening, Huan Fei planned to find Qing Yan and get her to testify, so that Ling Zhi's crimes could be proven. Her subordinates also expressed that they would do their best to handle this matter, and even if discovered, they would absolutely not implicate Huan Fei.
While Qing Yan was still busy, she specially brought the prepared sweet soup to Qing Yan. Ling Zhi saw this and felt very sorry for Qing Yan, so she hoped Qing Yan could eat a little more. When everyone was still cleaning up, Huan Fei unexpectedly came. At this time, Ling Zhi and Qing Yan were still in the room, not knowing what was happening outside.
Ling Zhi told Qing Yan to leave immediately. Huan Fei came and expressed suspicion that there were criminals hiding among the palace maids. The other maids originally wanted to obstruct her, but the result was a severe beating. Qing Yan naturally did not want to leave, so Ling Zhi had no choice but to drug the soup, feeling very distressed, but she had to make Qing Yan leave.
After Huan Fei entered the room, she found that Qing Yan was not there. By then, Qing Yan had already been sent out of the palace. When Qing Yan woke up, she found herself in a carriage. Ling Zhi had to let her leave in order to protect her.
Huan Fei confronted Ling Zhi, but Ling Zhi was not weak-willed. She said that Qing Yan had obtained the Emperor's approval to leave the palace, and Huan Fei was only a concubine, not the empress, so she need not worry. Ling Zhi also deliberately said that the Empress Dowager was about to take action against the supernatural tribes, and naturally she would not spare the Illusion Tribe, so Huan Fei should not focus her thoughts on Ling Zhi.
The matter of Ling Zhi's forged imperial edict was known to Mu Xuan Jue, but he did not blame her. Instead, he agreed to grant Ling Zhi the title of imperial consort. Huan Fei changed her clothes and made preparations to collude with her tribe members. Seeing that Ling Zhi was about to be promoted to imperial consort, Huan Fei sent a bloodied bracelet, which was the one Ling Zhi had given to Qing Yan, and used it as a threat to make Ling Zhi give up the promotion.
