Episode 6 recap: Pei Xing Jian was deposed after opposing the establishment.
Princess Dachang found an excuse to leave first. She deliberately wanted these people to accuse Liu Li harshly. If she were present, they wouldn't be able to express themselves well. Liu Li told them that they were all connected, sharing blessings and hardships together. Liu Li also conveyed Pei Xing Jian's thoughts to everyone, and to their surprise, they all approved. When the Grand Princess learned about this, she became very angry. Once again, Liu Li ended up being the good person, but she swore that she wouldn't let Liu Li off easily.
In the evening, when Liu Li was with Pei Xing Jian, he expressed concerns about Princess Cheng's possible trouble for her. Liu Li reassured him not to worry. Liu Li always felt that Pei Xing Jian had something on his mind, but Pei Xing Jian kept denying it. Liu Li knew that there was only one thing he would keep from her, and it must be related to Wu Zhao Yi.
Soon, the village heads brought gifts, and Liu Li hurriedly went out to see. The village heads handed over the life contract to Liu Li. Later, Liu Li learned that although they gave her the contract, they were still working for the Grand Princess. So, she had to clarify things with them first. Naturally, Liu Li refused their offer. After all, they were well aware of Princess Dachang's way of doing things.
Soon, General Fang returned triumphantly, and his wife had been waiting at the door for a long time. Pei Xing Jian had been by General Fang's side the whole time. In fact, Pei Xing Jian was most concerned about the relationship between the Sage and Wu Zhao Yi. General Fang was also Pei Xing Jian's mentor, so a gentle reminder from him brought clarity to Pei Xing Jian's mind.
Princess Dachang's daughter-in-law mentioned the current situation. If the Emperor really abolished the Empress and appointed Wu Zhao Yi as the Empress, Pei Xing Jian's backing would become stronger. However, they couldn't let Pei Xing Jian benefit from this matter.
After receiving guidance from his mentor, Pei Xing Jian suddenly became enlightened. When he returned, he started writing in his room. Pei Xing Jian didn't tell Liu Li that he had a moment of realization after listening to his mentor. He also told Liu Li that she didn't need to care about others' opinions in the future; being together with her was enough.
Liu Li also expressed her support for whatever decision Pei Xing Jian made. They embraced each other, and the rift between them was finally resolved.Pei Xing Jian received praise from other ministers after attending the morning court session. In the evening, Pei Xing Jian hadn't changed his clothes yet and asked Liu Li if she wanted to go to Xizhou.
Liu Li wanted to go to Xizhou in the past because her mother wanted to protect her life and find a place where nobody could find her. But now that her mother's case has been cleared, she doesn't care where to go as long as she can be with Pei Xing Jian. However, at this moment, the Emperor suddenly summoned Pei Xing Jian to the palace. Liu Li was a little surprised, but officials said it seemed to be because Wu Zhao Yi's mother had come and said something that made the Emperor very angry, so he wanted Pei Xing Jian to come immediately.
Pei Xing Jian was already prepared and changed into court attire. He hurriedly went to the palace to meet the Emperor, with Wu Zhao Yi sitting beside him. After meeting with the ministers, rumors spread that Pei Xing Jian had said that if the Emperor appointed Wu Zhao Yi as the Empress, it would surely cause turmoil in the country. Pei Xing Jian did not deny saying such words, and Wu Zhao Yi became very angry upon hearing it. After all, she had always held high hopes for Pei Xing Jian.
The Emperor was furious, and Pei Xing Jian even requested punishment from the Emperor. In his anger, the Emperor ordered Pei Xing Jian to be exiled to Xizhou. It seemed that Pei Xing Jian had already prepared everything. Meanwhile, Liu Li had been waiting at the doorstep for Pei Xing Jian to return, and the wait lasted until morning.
Liu Li suddenly remembered what Pei Xing Jian had said when he left, so she quickly ordered the servants to pack their belongings and prepare to leave.
