As autumn arrives, a sense of insecurity looms over the protagonist, who reflects on her past and the archer Yan Xiao Yi. In the Palace of Delicacies, Emperor Qing, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince gather for a family feast, where tension is palpable. The Emperor hints at the consequences of the Second Prince's reckless actions, suggesting he might promote Fan Xian if disruptions continue. When Princess Chang arrives, she greets them casually, but the Emperor's inquiry about an assassination attempt on Fan Xian sends her heart racing. Despite her anxiety, she realizes the Emperor isn’t truly blaming her, leading to a tense exchange where she must navigate the Emperor's probing questions about her involvement in the assassination.
