Episode 4 recap: Jun Mo and Zhao Xiao Ren were close.

Zhao Xiao Ren came to assassinate Mo Wei, but Mo Wei had already discovered Zhao Xiao Ren, and they started fighting. Jun Mo also rushed over and told Mo Wei to retreat first. Zhao Xiao Ren insisted on killing Mo Wei and started fighting with Jun Mo, and Jun Mo knocked Zhao Xiao Ren unconscious and took him back.

Jun Mo came to see Mo Wei, and Mo Wei said he had already recalled the border guards, and as long as Jun Mo waved his arms, he could seize the throne. Mo Wei said the emperor did not value Jun Mo at all and had exiled him to this Jasmine Manor. Jun Mo said he did it voluntarily, and he just didn't want to see more bloodshed.

Mo Wei felt that Jun Mo was selfish, he wanted to live a peaceful life, but let the common people suffer, and the crown prince and his people could not rule the country well. Jun Mo left the manor, and the crown prince sent people to assassinate Jun Mo, but Jun Mo dealt with them. Jun Mo told Mo Wei to go find Yaoyao, saying this was to make him atone for what happened before.

Mo Wei felt that if Zhao Xiao Ren were still alive, it would implicate many people, so he could only make Zhao Xiao Ren truly become Jun Mo's person, so that he would not speak out. Jun Mo cooked some glutinous rice balls for Zhao Xiao Ren to eat, and Zhao Xiao Ren felt it was inexplicable and suspected that Jun Mo had poisoned them.

The Empress knew about the crown prince's assassination of Jun Mo, slapped the crown prince, and scolded him for acting rashly. The Empress told the crown prince not to meddle in these matters anymore, and she would deal with Jun Mo herself. The Empress had the assassins killed, saying they knew too much and had to die.
