Episode 17 recap: Murong Hanbing and Mei Kaishao are now together.
Murong Hanbing and Mei Kaishao already had feelings for each other. This time, Murong Hanbing saved Mei Kaishao again, and under the influence of their emotions, they became husband and wife. The next day, when the officials and military officers gathered in court, they were all discussing the sudden death of Zhang Qiheng. Wang Daren was murdered on his way to the sandbank, and Murong Hanbing ordered an investigation to determine the suspected person, Cui Shi.
A few days later, Mei Kaishao returned home and was scolded by Mei Xuan for being shameless. Mei Xuan believed that Murong Hanbing was ambitious and not a good husband. This led to an argument between father and daughter. Mei Kaishao mentioned that after her recovery, she always encountered dangerous situations, and Mei Xuan didn't know how to deal with it. Angry, Mei Kaishao left. Feeling upset, Mei Kaishao went to a dance event at the Fengyue Hall. Despite wearing a red dress and a mask, Murong Hanbing still recognized her. There was also someone in the audience who took an interest in Mei Kaishao and insisted on inviting her for a drink. That person was Cui Shi.
Mei Kaishao went to Cui Shi's private room and accompanied him for a drink, but she planned to leave soon. She mentioned that a person called Lord Su from the Hanlin Academy wanted her to go over. However, Cui Shi informed her that even before it started, Wang Daren was killed on the way, and Lord Su didn't dare to compete with him. Anyone who opposes him will meet a bad end. Cui Shi also mentioned that the assassin was sent by someone above. Just as Cui Shi was about to reveal the identity of the mastermind, he suddenly fainted.
In another room, Murong Hanbing was drinking with Murong Zhao and Hou Lingfeng when Mei Kaishao approached them gracefully. This infuriated Murong Hanbing, and he turned around and left.
