Episode 6 recap: Yunhuan was drugged with an aphrodisiac.
After Yunhuan kicked down a cabinet, he accused Qingque of plotting something suspicious by secretly entering the forbidden area. He asked Qingcheng to punish Qingque. Qingcheng personally took the whip but was overpowered by Qingque. This made Qingcheng extremely angry. Looking at Qingque's face, which both Muwang and Yunhuan favored, Qingcheng wanted to destroy it. So he brought a candle closer to Qingque, intending to harm her. Remembering the scene where Qingcheng disfigured her before, Qingque was frightened and pale. She was about to face imminent danger when Yunhuan intervened and saved her. Moved by Qingque's words, Yunhuan eventually agreed to help her seek revenge.
With Yunhuan's support, Qingque became a powerful figure in the royal residence. She took on the role of the mistress and had a maid who burned her clothes severely beaten. When Qingcheng saw her people being attacked, she came out to intervene but was accused by Qingque of disrespecting the mistress, resulting in her being beaten by the maid. Feeling wronged, Qingcheng sought solace with the unconscious Muwang. The maid gave Qingcheng an idea. She spiked the wine with a sedative and lured Qingque to deliver the wine to Yunhuan. Then, when the poison took effect on Yunhuan, Qingcheng would go and detoxify him. In this way, Qingcheng would fulfill her desire to be Yunhuan's true wife while getting rid of Qingque.
Unaware of the aphrodisiac in the wine, Qingque used the opportunity of delivering the wine to search Yunhuan's robes in hopes of finding the half piece of jade. Unfortunately, she found nothing and was mistakenly believed by Yunhuan to have used underhanded methods. Unexpectedly, she discovered that Yunhuan already had someone he loved and would not touch anyone else, even if their face looked exactly like his beloved.
