Episode 23 recap: The prince and Gu Zhiyao got married.

Shen Jinmo comforted Gu Zhiyao to sleep, but Gu Zhiyao was worried about how many people would be killed the next day. Shen Jinmo began to console Gu Zhiyao. At this moment, Gu Zhiyao thought that her situation was hopeless and wanted to be intimate with Shen Jinmo. However, Shen Jinmo was not the kind of person who took advantage of others in their vulnerable moments, so he rejected Gu Zhiyao's advances. In order to stabilize Gu Zhiyao's emotions, he played the flute while she slept to soothe her.

On the side of the Wang Mansion, Zhui Feng, who had learned that the prince had been captured by the emperor, had been trying to gather information. However, due to the tight security in the palace, there was no news. Worried about the prince's safety, Zhui Feng decided to lead the prince's subordinates in a rebellion. He also spread the information and Wu Degui received the news as well. They were both very happy and began planning the rebellion.

After Gu Zhiyao woke up from her sleep, she was extremely nervous and kept calling Shen Jinmo's name. Shen Jinmo was by her side, and Gu Zhiyao took the initiative to kiss him and have a physical relationship with him, assuring him that she would never regret it. However, the next day, the emperor wanted the prince to marry Gu Zhiyao. Gu Zhiyao initially wanted to argue against it, but the emperor's decree brooked no objections. This news delighted Wu Degui even more because it was the perfect opportunity to take action.

The prince was also very happy and prepared for the grand wedding at home.
