Wuluo was a ruthless and cunning man who knew how to make the best use of everything. Since he had invested so much money, he must have a plan when he sent people to follow Liu Chengfeng into the Central Plains. Cui Yi knew that he was about to encounter a formidable enemy, so he quickly sent people to investigate the whereabouts of the Jieshuo people. Here, Liu Chengfeng swaggered to visit Li Lai and thanked him for lending troops to help him capture Baishui Pass. He also said that he had brought many Jieshuo people for him to drive. Li Lai asked Liu Chengfeng what he was planning to do by helping him so much. Liu Chengfeng said bluntly that it was not enough for Li Lai to just marry Cui Lin. Only Li Yi's death could prevent future troubles forever, and he just wanted Li Yi to die.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to say goodbye again, and Cui Lin couldn't help but ask Li Ni if one day she did something that made him particularly angry, would he stop liking her. Li Ni originally wanted to lie and tease Cui Lin, but he knew that he liked Cui Lin, and maybe he would continue to like Cui Lin for a long, long time in the future. Cui Lin was very happy to hear this and planned to make another bet with him. If he counts to ten and Li Ni still doesn't open his eyes, then if the two become enemies in the future, he will let him down three times, and vice versa.
When Li Yi counted to four, Cui Lin kissed her again like last time. Only this time, there was a hint of reluctance and souvenir. Li Ni slowly opened his eyes and said frankly that he was willing to admit defeat. If the two became enemies in the future, he would let Cui Lin do it three times. Then, he kissed her again, tenderly and domineeringly, coveting the tenderness of this moment. Before leaving, Li Ni gave Cui Lin a small scarecrow.
Soon, the news of Cui Jiajun's victory over Baishui Pass spread back to the capital. The new emperor was overjoyed and planned to grant amnesty to the whole world and ordered Li Jun to be released. Li Ni was shocked and angry. He bluntly said that the victory of the Cui family army had nothing to do with Li Jun. He personally set fire to kill Princess Xin. The new emperor actually blamed Li Ni. Li Jun was his elder brother, and he was so reluctant to forgive him. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Pei Xian stepped forward to report, saying that he had sent another memorial from Cui Yi along with the good news.
Cui Yi specially reported to the East Palace about the establishment of the crown prince, and asked Li Yi, King of Qin, to be established as the crown prince to consolidate the foundation of the country. Before Cui Yi finished reading his memorial, the new emperor became furious. The court was suddenly in an uproar, and everyone became extremely nervous. Prime Minister Gu was the first to stand up, saying that establishing a crown prince was a national matter and it should be done, and there was nothing wrong with what Cui Yi said. Subsequently, many ministers stood up one after another and expressed their agreement with Cui Yi's suggestion. Li Ni, who was kneeling in the main hall, felt no joy at all, only endless sorrow and boredom.
Cui Lin was very anxious after learning about this, guessing that Li Yi would be angry with herself and her father because of this. Sure enough, Li Yi came uninvited that day. As soon as he came up, he reached out and asked Cui Lin for the beads that he had placed with her before. After Cui Lin came to her senses, her heart felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart, and she handed the beads back to him angrily. And Li Ni also returned the hairpin, leaving the words "We don't owe each other" and turned around to leave. Li Ni locked himself in the courtyard all day long and turned a deaf ear to everything. But as everyone knows, danger is quietly approaching at this time.
On this day, Gu Waanniang and Li Ni's wet nurse made some dried bamboo shoots and steamed buns, waiting for Li Ni to come over and taste them. But Li Ni couldn't wait for a long time, and the wet nurse was really hungry, so she picked up a bun and ate it. But somehow, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. By the time the doctor arrived, the wet nurse was already helpless. Li Ni was extremely sad and sat blankly where the wet nurse was waiting for him. He picked up a bun and wanted to try it to relieve his lovesickness, but he found that the bun tasted very strange. In order to investigate the real cause of the wet nurse's death, he had to find someone to open the coffin.
Cui Lin was very sad when she learned about this, and was worried that Li Ni would be overly grieved. But after much thought, she didn't know in what capacity she should go to visit. However, she was still worried after all, so she had to quietly come to Prince Qin's Mansion and take a look from a distance. Li Ni seemed to be aware of Cui Lin's arrival, but he still did not step forward after all. After learning that Li Ni had escaped and opened the coffin for autopsy, Cui Lin quickly asked Tao Zi to tell Xie Chang'er that if Li Ni rushed out and wanted to go out, she would stop him no matter what.
As Cui Lin had expected, after investigating and discovering that Li Jun bribed the wet nurse's son to obstruct him and attempted to murder him but accidentally killed the wet nurse, Li Ni became furious, picked up his sword and went to Prince Xin's Mansion. Li Jun said he was innocent and cowered on the ground in fear. At this moment, Pei Yuan arrived in time and stopped Li Yi. Li Ni was angry and anxious, but he could not put the Zhenxi Army in a disadvantageous situation because of himself. He dropped the sword in his hand. The sword seemed to know the anger in Li Ni's heart, and it slashed across the back of Li Jun's hand.
