Zhao Xiao Ren asked Chen Yuan why she approached him, and Chen Yuan said that Zhao Xiao Ren should ask the people around him. Jun Mo understood, saying they were all the Empress's people, since the previous person had directly admitted to being the Emperor's man, but a loyal subject should not reveal their master so easily, it must be a trick.

The young master Zhu's father came with people, saying Chen Yuan killed his son, and he would not spare Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan felt he could not do anything to her, and the young master Zhu's father said since his son liked her, he should let Chen Yuan marry his son, and stay with his son forever. Chen Yuan begged Zhao Xiao Ren for forgiveness, but Zhao Xiao Ren ignored her.

Jun Mo coughed up blood, so Zhao Xiao Ren quickly took him back. Zhao Xiao Ren brought the medicine prescribed by Doctor Liu and asked Jun Mo to drink it quickly. Li Wei had prepared everything, saying the ropes were ready, just needing to be untied, and also gave Zhao Xiao Ren a bag of medicine.

Xia Chan brought Zhao Xiao Ren back, and the people here said they wanted to verify if it was real. Xia Chan said she was just a gatekeeper, so she had no right to check on people. The gatekeeper said the master had given an order today, so Xia Chan let them in. The people's singing was indeed correct, so they were allowed to enter.

Zhao Xiao Ren came in, saying he wanted to find the Poison King, thinking the medicine should be from her.
