Episode 26 recap: Yunhuan returned to the Mu Palace to exchange the Green Sparrow with a jade pendant.
Mu Wang felt that everything was under his control. He led the Green Sparrow into the hall and warned everyone present. He declared that those who had betrayed him during his recent coma had met their downfall. He then revealed the identity of the Green Sparrow as the daughter of the Huai King and announced his intention to marry her as his consort. He asked if anyone had any objections. Everyone was terrified by Mu Wang's ruthlessness and dared not speak out against him. This greatly pleased Mu Wang.
As Mu Wang mentioned the Huai King, who had treated him like a brother in the past, the Green Sparrow listened attentively. She knew that Mu Wang was responsible for the Huai King's death but had to suppress any signs of her true feelings. She pretended to be calm and extended her hand to Mu Wang. Yan Qingshuang encountered the Green Sparrow in the garden and, when they exchanged greetings, the Green Sparrow noticed that no one was around. She quickly and discreetly touched Yan Qingshuang's hand. Tomorrow was the day of Mu Wang and the Green Sparrow's wedding. As the Green Sparrow looked at the wedding dress in the room, memories of the misunderstandings with Yunhuan flooded her heart, causing her immense pain. She knew that tonight was a dangerous situation and silently prayed that Yunhuan wouldn't come. However, Yunhuan had already disappointed her once before, and this time, no matter what dangers awaited, he had to come and take her away.
Yunhuan sneaked into the Green Sparrow's room, intending to escape with her. However, the Green Sparrow believed it was not yet the right time to leave and refused. Just then, Mu Wang burst into the room. Yunhuan acted swiftly, using a hidden weapon to injure Mu Wang, but Mu Wang held a sword to the Green Sparrow's neck. Seeing that the Green Sparrow recognized Yunhuan, he realized that her previous memory loss was a pretense. He then revealed that the Green Sparrow had taken a medicine to induce an abortion, thereby terminating Yunhuan's child.
Yunhuan exchanged the jade pendant for the Green Sparrow. Yan Qingshuang took the opportunity to release smoke into the room, causing the Green Sparrow, Yunhuan, and Mu Wang to collapse.
