Episode 14 recap: Liu Yueqing stays in the Eastern Palace to repay the debt.

Pei Xun stated that he wanted to settle the score with Liu Yueqing. The vase that Liu Yueqing smashed was a precious item bestowed by the Empress Dowager and had considerable value. Liu Yueqing asked Pei Xun how much money he needed, promising to compensate him. Han Zhen stated that he needed 60,000 taels of silver. Liu Yueqing didn't expect it to be so much and felt that Pei Xun had been waiting for her here.

Pei Xun said that if Liu Yueqing was unwilling to compensate, he would write a letter to her father and let him be the judge. Liu Yueqing thought of her father's love for money. If she told her father that she was in trouble and needed him to use his private savings to save her, her father would definitely say that if he had to give up his private savings, it would be like giving up his life.

Pei Xun said that if she didn't have money, she could work in the Eastern Palace and the money would be deducted from her salary. Liu Yueqing wrote a letter back, stating that if her father didn't help her, her mother would definitely save her. When Liu Yueqing's father saw the letter, her mother was worried, but her father said that judging from how Pei Xun protected his calf, Liu Yueqing would definitely be fine.

Liu Yueqing saw her father's reply and didn't expect that her father would ask her to work diligently in the Eastern Palace and not provoke the Crown Prince. She felt extremely frustrated. Pei Xun asked Han Zhen to arrange a room for Liu Yueqing to rest. Liu Yueqing had tried every means to stay away from Pei Xun, but now she found herself back by his side.
