Episode 12 recap: 顾之谣 wants to investigate the identity of the assassin.
Both Qian Sanshao and Shen Jinmo arrived at the scene simultaneously. Shen Jinmo drove away the assassin and picked up something that represented the assassin's waist badge, keeping it for himself. Shen Jinmo took Gu Zhiyao back home, and since the assassin's blade was not poisoned with Duanyan Powder, it needed to be deciphered quickly. In order to help Gu Zhiyao decipher it, Qian Sanshao sucked out the poisoned blood himself.
Qian Sanshao left as if nothing had happened, specifically reminding Shen Jinmo not to reveal their relationship to Gu Zhiyao. The assassin returned to report, claiming to have succeeded, and stated that Gu Zhiyao, poisoned, would not survive the next day. It turned out that the assassin was sent by Wu Degui, but the assassin found no information about Shen Jinmo. In anger, Wu Degui killed the assassin he had sent.
The next day, Gu Zhiyao woke up feeling weak. She wanted to find out who was trying to kill her. Shen Jinmo showed Gu Zhiyao the token he had picked up, and she understood. It was possible that she had attracted attention and affected the interests of certain influential forces. Shen Jinmo told Gu Zhiyao that in this world, those in power and even the emperor would cultivate assassins.
Gu Zhiyao decided to enter the palace to meet the emperor. Coincidentally, both Wu Degui and the prince were watching them, and Gu Zhiyao felt that their eyes were strange, suspecting that they both harbored doubts. The emperor, seeing Gu Zhiyao acting oddly, mentioned that she was coming to see him and revealed the news of the assassination attempt. Enraged, the emperor assigned the task of investigating the matter to the prince, declaring that he would thoroughly investigate it.
After returning, Gu Zhiyao suspected that the prince was the prime suspect and wanted to test him.
