Episode 11 recap: Hetingjian has passed away.

When Hetingjian heard that the princess had already passed away, he was stunned. Mo Lin Lang was also angry at Hetingjian, considering him to be a scumbag. She gave Hetingjian the letter the princess had written for him, which shocked and regretted him. He Yi Jing advised his older brother to stop, and Hetingjian lamented that He Yi Jing would never know certain things, and he had no intention of telling the ninth prince.

He Yi Jing prepared to return to the capital city to investigate some matters. Along the way, the flowers bloomed and birds sang everywhere. Mo Lin Lang was captivated by the beautiful scenery and quickly called He Yi Jing to take a look. They seemed to become very happy in each other's presence, and He Yi Jing also felt a slight flutter in his heart.

Upon hearing about Hetingjian's situation, the emperor felt deeply saddened and ordered a lavish burial for him. Suddenly, the emperor remembered that it was time for the hunting expedition, and at that moment, the crown prince announced that the crown princess was pregnant. The emperor entrusted this matter to He Xuyun. The third prince was very pleased. Qian Jingyi initially thought Mo Lin Lang was a seductive woman, but he didn't expect her to be a humble maid from the countryside.

Mo Lin Lang retorted against Qian Jingyi, which made him furious and want to hit her. It was then that He Yi Jing intervened and saved Mo Lin Lang. Mo Lin Lang was afraid that she would become He Yi Jing's weakness, but He Yi Jing told her that he hoped she would become his weakness and promised to tell her everything when he returned.

At this time, Fu Feng also came to inform Mo Lin Lang that He Yi Jing had given her the dagger that belonged to his late mother. He wanted Mo Lin Lang to help He Yi Jing overcome the shadow in his heart regarding his mother, but he didn't explain it clearly. Mo Lin Lang was a bit puzzled, wondering if ancient people liked to speak in riddles.

Suddenly, Mo Lin Lang fainted and woke up to find that she had killed someone.
