Episode 24 recap: Mou Wang learned that Qingque's identity and still wanted to marry her.
When Qingque returned to Mou Wang's residence and encountered Yan Qingcang, who was alive and well, she excitedly asked him where he had been, expressing her worries. Yan Qingcang noticed Zhao Lishi staring at him, so he quickly distanced himself from Qingque, leaving her confused. It turned out that after taking the medicine given to him by Mou Wang, Yan Qingcang confessed to Mou Wang about Qingque's true identity as the daughter of Huai Wang. He thought that Mou Wang would no longer marry Qingque, but to his surprise, Mou Wang became even more excited because Qingque resembled Huai Wang's concubine.
Qingcheng overheard the conversation between Mou Wang and Yan Qingcang and discreetly informed Qingque. She untied the ropes binding Qingque and urged her to escape quickly. However, Mou Wang arrived too soon, and Qingque couldn't leave. She learned that Huai Wang was planning a grand wedding for her, and she immediately resisted, but she lost consciousness and woke up with amnesia. Mou Wang, seeing Qingque no longer hostile towards him, mentioned the upcoming wedding. Unexpectedly, Qingque suddenly felt nauseous, and Mou Wang quickly called for Yan Qingcang. To his surprise, he learned that Qingque was pregnant and angrily slapped her.
Yan Qingcang, knowing that Mou Wang hadn't touched Qingque, speculated that the child was Yun Huan's. He advised Mou Wang to calm down, as long as they had Qingque in their hands, it would be safer for Yun Huan to hand over the jade pendant. Mou Wang couldn't tolerate Qingque's unborn child and asked Qingcheng to bring Qingque a bowl of calming soup. Qingcheng knew exactly what it was – an abortion drug – and advised Qingque not to take it. However, Qingque believed that since the child was not Mou Wang's, it shouldn't exist and accepted the bowl of medicine.
