Ying Si and the ministers were discussing the war at Hangu Pass. Mi Yue and Mi Shu came to see Meng Ying's letter. After seeing it, Ying Si immediately summoned Su Qin and learned from Su Qin that the life and death of Meng Ying's mother and son was at stake. Mi Yue suggested that Ying Si could send a team of Qingqi to sneak into South Korea in disguise and bring back Meng Ying's mother and son. The future of the Yan Kingdom would be in Ying Si's hands. This idea was approved by Ying Si. Meng Ying was taken back to Qin, but his son Yingzhi was kidnapped by Zhao on the way. Meng Ying begged Ying Si to save her son, but Ying Si refused and asked her to focus on the overall situation. Meng Ying left heartbroken.

Seeing Meng Ying's feelings for Su Qin, Mi Shu had something to say to Meng Ying and deliberately provoked a relationship between Meng Ying and Mi Yue. Su Qin's strategies have always been in vain, and he had no money to pay the rent, so he had to give his only mink fur to the waiter.

Chuiliji paid a visit to Ying Si and used the example of King You of Zhou to persuade Ying Si to establish his legitimate son Ying Dang as his heir as soon as possible. However, Ying Si believed that the position of the prince was established too early, which would easily allow those with different ideas to take advantage of him. Ying Dang bullies Ying Tong and Ying Ji and wants to steal their birds. Ying Hua appeared and taught Ying Dang a lesson. Mi Yue thanked Ying Hua for speaking out and fighting injustice. This scene happened to be seen by Mi Shu. Mi Shu sent someone to invite Mi Yue and tried her best to win over her. Mi Shu took the opportunity to let Ying Dang practice military tactics in front of Ying Si, hoping that Ying Si would look at him differently. Unexpectedly, the wooden ball during the exercise fell into the pit. Ying Ji came up with a way to use the power of water to float the wooden ball, which was greatly praised by Ying Si. Mi Shu felt depressed, hating that after working hard for many days, she made a wedding dress for someone else.
