Seeing that Cui Lin was still angry, Li Ni followed beside her and was very attentive. Unfortunately, Gu Wanniang suddenly came to pay her respects. Li Yi was so angry that he sent someone to send her away. But Cui Lin asked Gu Wanniang to come in, while Li Yi stood aside and didn't know what to do. Afterwards, Gu Wanniang walked in and presented the mandarin duck pillow embroidered by herself. Cui Lin happily accepted the offer and asked her to embroider another screen for her. Gu Wanniang really didn't expect Cui Lin to be like this, but she could only accept it. Just as she was about to leave, Li Ni suddenly stopped her. She was actually a little happy in her heart, but all she heard was Li Ni's cold urging, asking her to quickly embroider the screen.
Li Ni carefully brought the hot soup and planned to feed Cui Lin to drink it, but Cui Lin hadn't woken up yet. He had no choice but to gently put down the hot soup and slowly sit on the edge of the bed. Looking at Cui Lin sleeping soundly, Li Yi couldn't help but smile. He wanted to touch Cui Lin's face, but she woke up at this moment. Seeing Li Yi sitting next to her, Cui Lin just glanced at him, then turned her head and fell asleep again.
After the Cui family army was disbanded, Cui Yi sat by the river fishing every day, looking into the distance and thinking about how to fight in the future. Seeing a young man approaching, he asked how he would fight if it were him. The young man answered clearly and eloquently, but his tone always sounded a little more regretful, as if he was sighing. Cui Yi was very satisfied with his answer and asked his name. Hearing that the other party was called "Li Yi", Cui Yi was stunned for a moment. He only felt familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen him before. So, an old man and a young man sat by the river and fished together. Cui Yi and Li Yi talked about their past, their deceased wives, their regrets, and their glorious achievements.
When he went back in the evening, Li Ni sat at the table and thought for a long time. Maybe he also had regrets and shame in his heart. Seeing Cui Lin getting ready to sleep, he took the quilt and prepared to make a bed on the ground, but was suddenly stopped by Cui Lin. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that Cui Lin was being merciful and allowed him to sleep on the bed. Unexpectedly, Cui Lin was just worried that the ground was too cold, so she planned to throw him a thick quilt. Li Ni was a little disappointed and rejected Cui Lin's kindness. Cui Lin ignored him, threw the quilt on the ground, then covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
Here, Cui Lin received news that Liu Chengfeng contracted the cold in prison and was taken to a mass grave and burned. But Cui Lin thought carefully for a few days and felt that all this was too coincidental. Maybe Liu Chengfeng was not dead at all, and the cold was his excuse to escape. And sure enough, Liu Chengfeng was not dead. Not only did he not die, he also planned to continue plotting to murder Li Ni.
On this day, Prime Minister Gu came to the Prince's Mansion on the pretext of visiting his daughter, and asked Li Ni in a roundabout way why he did not show favor to Gu Waanniang and never even spent the night in her room. Li Ni wanted to send off Prime Minister Gu with a few perfunctory words, but he really had no excuse not to go to Gu Waanniang's place. He simply let out the news that he would have dinner in Gu Wan's mother's room tonight. Unexpectedly, Cui Lin actually got someone to reply, saying that she had never planned to have dinner with Li Yi, so Li Yi could go wherever he liked. Li Ni had a headache, but the news had been released, and he had to go to Gu Wanniang's room in person. As soon as he entered the room, he dismissed the maid and confessed to Gu Wanniang that he had no feelings for her and did not want to delay her life. Therefore, he will not treat her badly and will let her go when she meets her sweetheart.
