Episode 5 recap: Pei Xun dealt with the internal traitor.
Pei Hao saw Pei Xun and expressed his disappointment that Pei Xun had become distant from him ever since becoming the Crown Prince. Pei Hao's heart was deeply saddened by this. Pei Xun ended up getting soaked in alcohol by Pei Hao and had to go change his clothes. When he returned, Liu Yueqing rushed over and kissed him.
Pei Xun carried Liu Yueqing to the bed and realized that she had been drugged. He assured her that it wasn't a poisonous drug and that she just needed to rest for a while. Liu Yueqing's father asked General Han where his daughter had gone, and General Han explained that Liu Yueqing had mentioned feeling uneasy in crowded places and had gone to the guest room to rest. Liu Yueqing's father quickly agreed, saying that his daughter indeed had such a condition.
Pei Hao mentioned that the banquet was about to begin, but Pei Xun hadn't arrived yet. He wanted to take everyone to find Pei Xun. Pei Hao arrived, and Pei Xun explained that he had taken a short rest. Pei Hao was surprised not to see Liu Yueqing and wondered where she was. It turned out that Pei Xun had called someone to attend to Liu Yueqing, and she was already fine. The guards here had all been properly identified, so it seemed that someone had managed to sneak in during this banquet. Pei Xun stated that this place was not somewhere they could come and go as they pleased.
Pei Xun grabbed the servant who had caused trouble and accused him of plotting to harm the Crown Prince. The servant quickly begged for mercy, but Pei Hao didn't intervene to save him. Liu Yueqing also came over and realized that it was best to stay away from this mess, so she quickly pulled her father and wanted to leave. The Spring Hunting Festival was approaching, and this matter should be handled by Pei Xun as the Crown Prince.
