Episode 6 recap: Gu Zhiyao met the National Teacher.
Lü Junliu knew that Gu Zhiyao didn't want to become the prince's concubine. When they were alone together, Lü Junliu asked about the reason. Gu Zhiyao noticed Lü Junliu's jealousy and deliberately teased him. Lü Junliu pounced on her, startling Gu Zhiyao. After Lü Junliu left, Gu Zhiyao felt somewhat disappointed because she knew she was destined to return to the real world, and they couldn't be together.
Gu Zhiyao once again performed for the National Teacher at the music hall and requested a private meeting. The owner of the music hall reminded Gu Zhiyao to be cautious, but she was actually very happy, believing that the National Teacher could help her go back home. After they met, Gu Zhiyao hesitated whether to directly reveal her identity. In the end, she decided to take a chance, but instead of stating it directly, she used subtle language to probe. However, the National Teacher didn't respond according to Gu Zhiyao's hints. Gu Zhiyao noticed the mirror the National Teacher took out and realized that the National Teacher could see her world. Gu Zhiyao requested the National Teacher to send her back, but the National Teacher believed that Gu Zhiyao's presence in this world was tied to its own karma and couldn't be easily disrupted.
Gu Zhiyao pleaded with the National Teacher for help. The National Teacher asked Gu Zhiyao to investigate the death of Prime Minister Shen to clear his own name, so that they could both resolve their worldly attachments. After parting ways with the National Teacher, Lü Junliu found Gu Zhiyao and anxiously asked if she was in trouble, and whether she would return to the other world.
