Episode 27 recap: Tai Chu and Zhao Chen Yang are cooperating.
Meng Ji says that Tai Chu still needs to get rid of someone. Tai Chu asks Meng Ji who it is, and Meng Ji says it's the person who often stirs Tai Chu's emotions. Meng Yi Lang comes to find He Lan Xin Yue and tells her about Zhao Chen Yang being under house arrest. He Lan Xin Yue is also surprised and says she will go take a look.
Meng Yi Lang stops He Lan Xin Yue, feeling that something is suspicious. The most important thing now is to have He Lan Xin Yue leave this place first. Unexpectedly, as soon as He Lan Xin Yue steps out, she is stopped by soldiers waiting outside. They say that the king has given orders to imprison He Lan Xin Yue.
Meng Yi Lang fights with the soldiers, but He Lan Xin Yue stops him, saying it's okay and that if Zhao Guang Ye wants to imprison her, she will go willingly. He Lan Xin Yue is brought over, and Meng Ji is also very happy, saying that now no one can obstruct Tai Chu anymore.
He Lan Xin Yue says she didn't expect them to do this and asks how Zhao Guang Ye is doing. Tai Chu says Zhao Guang Ye is fine and will continue to be fine unless he overestimates himself.
Meng Yi Lang secretly followed and overheard everything. Meng Ji tells Shi An to stick closely to He Lan Xin Yue and not leave her side. Shi An keeps following without feeling annoyed, which angers He Lan Xin Yue. General Zheng comes and informs Bei Rong Wang that the news of Dong Lin Wang being a monster is spreading, trying to lure Zhao Chen Yang there. They are certain he won't be able to handle the provocation and will be captured if he goes.
General Zheng asks Bei Rong Wang what they should do. Bei Rong Wang says that the various kings of the world all have different ambitions, so they should observe quietly. Meng Yi Lang comes to find Zhao Chen Yang. Zhao Chen Yang has influence within the Forbidden Army and has already received the news that Zhao Guang Ye has been replaced by Tai Chu.
Zhao Chen Yang wants to come and get rid of Meng Yi Lang, saying that Zhao Guang Ye has been kind to Tai Chu, so how can Tai Chu do this? He Lan Xin Yue stops Zhao Chen Yang, saying that Zhao Guang Ye previously asked him to read more books, but Zhao Chen Yang refused. She tells him not to cause trouble and to go back and read the thirty-sixth volume properly.
He Lan Xin Yue also reminds Zhao Chen Yang not to forget his identity as the Grand General.
Zhao Chen Yang came back looking for the book, feeling strange that he had never seen it before and didn't know where it was. Meng Yi Lang understood and came over. He Lan Xin Yue was referring to the "Thirty-Six Strategies" and "Substitute the Dead Wood for the Living Tree," all of which were part of their plan.
Meng Yi Lang thought that when He Lan Xin Yue mentioned Zhao Chen Yang being the Grand General, she was reminding him of his military power. They could make this matter widely known, effectively helping Zhao Guang Ye. As expected, Zhao Chen Yang started causing a commotion, saying that the current Zhao Guang Ye was a monster. Meng Ji was also angry and believed that Zhao Chen Yang was digging his own grave, and they couldn't keep him around any longer.
He Lan Xin Yue also came over and disagreed with this course of action. Someone came to inform Tai Chu that Zhao Chen Yang had surrounded them with his troops. Meng Ji said that it was Zhao Chen Yang's own death wish and not something they forced upon him.
Shang Guan Zui came back and wanted to continue serving the king, but Bei Rong Wang said that Shang Guan Zui was injured and should rest properly. Shang Guan Zui didn't consider it a grievance and was determined to ascend to the highest position of power.
Tai Chu ordered the execution of Zhao Chen Yang. The ministers came pleading for mercy, and Meng Yi Lang also came, but Tai Chu remained determined to kill Zhao Chen Yang. Tai Chu went to Zhao Chen Yang and stabbed him in the chest, saying that it would make Zhao Chen Yang appear dead for a day and leave a wound that would make everyone believe Zhao Chen Yang was dead. The news of his death would spread throughout the world by tomorrow.
Tai Chu ordered Zhao Chen Yang to go to the North Pass and hold it firmly. Zhao Chen Yang agreed.
