Episode 22 recap: The emperor has been placed under house arrest.

He Yi Jing actually felt reluctant to leave Mo Lin Lang alone in the palace, but he was afraid that she would be harmed if brought to the northern desert. Fu Feng had already made all the preparations and was ready to depart at any time. He Yi Jing repeatedly urged Mo Lin Lang to wait for his return. The master of the Lin Lang Pavilion came to find Mo Lin Lang, and he could tell that He Yi Jing loved her very much.

Mo Lin Lang was curious why the pavilion master, who was originally a prince of the Jinba Kingdom, had fallen to such a state and still wanted to attack his own kingdom. The pavilion master told Mo Lin Lang that the Lin Lang Pavilion was actually a spy planted by his own country in the Shunqing Kingdom. Eight years ago, he voluntarily came here as an undercover agent. Unexpectedly, his eighth imperial brother took the opportunity to seize power, kill their father, and take the throne, killing all of his imperial brothers.

The pavilion master continued to speak, saying that after the eighth imperial brother ascended the throne, the people suffered greatly, and complaints were heard everywhere. In order to free the people from such a life, the pavilion master decided to overthrow the rule of the eighth imperial brother. After ten days, the pavilion master came to tell Mo Lin Lang that He Yi Jing might return today. Mo Lin Lang was overjoyed and hugged him tightly when she saw He Yi Jing return.

The pavilion master couldn't help but interrupt the intimate scene between the two and said that if there was anything he could do to help, he would be willing to die for it. Just as Mo Lin Lang and He Yi Jing were being affectionate, Fu Feng came in and told He Yi Jing that the emperor had been placed under house arrest, and the whereabouts of the crown prince were unknown.

He Yi Jing felt that the crown prince was undoubtedly useless. The third prince kept pressuring his father to use the crown prince as leverage, wanting his father to pass the throne to him, but the emperor refused to yield. Watching the father and son fight each other, the emperor felt that it was retribution. He Yi Jing went to see the emperor to settle the account of his own mother, the imperial consort.
