Episode 13 recap: Qin Zhen Zhen cried out against the injustice in front of Li Rong.
Li Rong asked Pei Wen Xuan to help arrange a meeting with Su Rong Qing. Pei Wen Xuan was quite surprised, but still agreed. However, there was some conflict in choosing the tea house, and Pei Wen Xuan did not want the two to have a pleasant conversation in a good atmosphere. At this time, the Emperor summoned the two to go in. Pei Wen Xuan even walked in front of Li Rong, and Li Rong criticized him for that. The Emperor asked Li Rong what he could do for him, and Pei Wen Xuan spoke up to help Li Rong. The Emperor said he needed to think about it first, so Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan had to leave.
The Emperor looked at the things he once gave to his daughter, and thought about the past. Li Rong was still unsure if his father would agree, but in the end the Emperor did agree to Li Rong's idea, though Li Rong still needed to find a proper reason. Li Rong was prepared to think carefully about this matter.
When Li Rong saw Qin Zhen Zhen, he was reminded of the past. After Qin Zhen Zhen's passing, the Crown Prince had placed his beloved sword in Qin Zhen Zhen's coffin.
Li Rong hopes Qin Zhen Zhen can watch his back. For now, Qin Zhen Zhen needs to leave this place. Li Rong arranged for him to go to the northwest, and since Qin Zhen Zhen's matters can no longer be related to the Qin family, he has to change his name.
The Emperor assigned Su Rong Qing to investigate the Qin family matters, and said he trusted Su Rong Qing, who now represented the entire noble family. Li Chuan knew Qin Zhen Zhen was injured and brought him medicine, as Li Chuan still cares about Qin Zhen Zhen, but now is not the right time for them to meet.
When Pei Wen Xuan returned, he saw Li Rong sleeping and carried him to bed. Li Rong woke up, and Pei Wen Xuan asked why he wanted to meet Su Rong Qing. Li Rong said he needs to improve internal relations, and jokingly said he might discover something new in Su Rong Qing. In reality, Li Rong wants more protection for Li Chuan, the Qin family, and Pei Wen Xuan, though Pei Wen Xuan thinks Li Rong is the one who needs the most protection.
Li Rong was surprised that Su Rong Qing rejected his request, and admitted he still has some feelings for Su Rong Qing.
Li Rong went to find Shang Guan Ya, and it is indeed true that the powerful families control a lot. Shang Guan Ya also said that she is unable to do anything. Shang Guan Ya had actually wanted to become the head of the official family's household a long time ago, and she also hopes to support Li Rong. The two of them have reached a cooperation agreement.
Li Rong also asked Jing Lan to help her find a better theater troupe, so that they can perform a play about the injustice suffered by the Qin family. Now, the powerful families have submitted petitions to the emperor, hoping that the Qin family will be convicted and punished. The emperor is still hesitating. Soon, the play directed by Li Rong will be performed in front of the common people, which will make them feel that the Qin family is definitely wronged. Qin Zhen Zhen kneels in front of everyone to plead for her family, and Li Rong steps forward to help Qin Zhen Zhen prove her case. Qin Zhen Zhen has already died from hitting the wall due to this matter. Li Rong has summoned all the blood-stained petitions, and the emperor also uses this as an excuse to suppress the powerful families. The Shang Guan family wants to say that they can interrogate the case, but Su Rong Qing originally wanted to come forward to help investigate. Of course, Li Rong denied it. She directly begged the emperor to let her investigate this matter herself. The Shang Guan family is still criticizing Li Rong, but Pei Wen Xuan naturally goes to help. The emperor asks Li Chuan's opinion, and Li Chuan says they can re-interrogate the case.
The emperor agrees, and then he personally establishes a supervisory agency for Li Rong. But this time, the uncle, the Shang Guan lord, is naturally not happy. After the court meeting ends, he calls Li Rong over and still does not want her to handle so many affairs. The Shang Guan lord is still saying that this time, many of the scions of the powerful families in the court have not received any rewards, and he feels very wronged. Li Rong just wants to know if the Qin family is guilty or not, but the Shang Guan family did not give a direct answer.
The Shang Guan family did not expect Li Rong to say such words, but even so, she is still a child, so she does not pose a threat to them. The eunuch handed the items to Li Rong, and also gave her the token personally given by the emperor. Now Qin Zhen Zhen is wearing a mask and acting as Li Rong's personal guard. Li Rong, accompanied by Pei Wen Xuan and Qin Zhen Zhen, came to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve the files related to the Qin family, but they were unwilling to hand them over, so Pei Wen Xuan went to get them personally.
At this time, Su Rong Qing also came over. Li Rong deliberately injured herself and said that the other party had injured her. Su Rong Qing personally took out a handkerchief to bandage Li Rong, which made the just-emerged Pei Wen Xuan feel very unpleasant.
After going out, Pei Wen Xuan threw Su Rong Qing's handkerchief on the ground and did not allow anyone to pick it up.
