Episode 16 recap: The Truth Behind the Death of He Yi Jing's Mother.
Upon hearing that spies from the Kingdom of Jinba had infiltrated the palace, the Emperor became alarmed and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. Seeing the Emperor's concern for him, He Yi Jing assured him that there was nothing to worry about and that he was safe. In recognition of He Yi Jing's meritorious service, the Emperor wanted to reward him, but He Yi Jing declined any material rewards and only requested an official position for Mo Lin Lang.
When He Yi Jing saw that Mo Lin Lang returned the dagger belonging to his mother, he knew that Fu Feng must have informed Mo Lin Lang about the truth regarding his mother's death. He Yi Jing openly spoke about how his mother bled to death on the spot, and even now, he still felt fear when he thought about it, haunted by the memory.
Mo Lin Lang understood that He Yi Jing was deeply troubled. After his mother's death, He Yi Jing secluded himself among the herbs, feeling useless and helpless. Mo Lin Lang assured He Yi Jing that she would be there for him, helping him gradually overcome his pain.
He Yi Jing informed Mo Lin Lang that the Fifth Prince had once revealed to him that his mother's death was not a suicide but the result of poisoning. He Yi Jing believed that the mastermind behind it held a very high position, but with Mo Lin Lang by his side, he felt fearless.
