Episode 7 recap: He Yi Jing left the capital.
The Emperor told He Yi Jing that Liu Ziyuan had already committed a capital offense and deserved death, so the matter should end there and no further investigation should be conducted. However, He Yi Jing didn't want to conclude the matter so hastily. The Emperor sternly warned He Yi Jing that continuing the investigation would jeopardize the royal reputation.
Considering the concerns of his royal brother, He Yi Jing decided to drop the matter. At that moment, someone came in to report that the Crown Prince was seeking an audience. He Xu Yan entered shortly after, and the Emperor, seeing his son's furrowed brow, asked what the matter was. The Crown Prince had originally intended to plead for Liu Ziyuan, but upon hearing that he was already dead, he was shocked.
He Yi Jing, observing He Xu Yan's expression, felt that he was unaware of Liu Ziyuan's death. As everyone who was expected had arrived, the Emperor informed them that the Fifth Prince had been poisoned. The Crown Prince, deeply concerned about his poisoned younger brother, wanted to accompany him with money. The Emperor believed that He Yi Jing, being knowledgeable in the art of detoxification, was the most suitable person for the task.
The Emperor instructed He Yi Jing to secretly leave the capital to prevent any ill-intentioned individuals from causing trouble. He Xu Yan expressed his worry to He Yi Jing about his short-lived position as the Crown Prince. He felt that many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with him. He Yi Jing assured his nephew that he would only recognize the Crown Prince designated by the Emperor.
Suddenly, Mo Lin Lang felt someone attacking her from behind. When she woke up, she found herself in a carriage. He Yi Jing was angry because Mo Lin Lang kept accusing him of being a flower thief. Mo Lin Lang believed that He Yi Jing was a vagabond.
He Yi Jing told Mo Lin Lang that they were going to Le Du to treat their royal brother's illness. Mo Lin Lang informed He Yi Jing that it was a venereal disease, an inherited condition. He Yi Jing became suspicious of Mo Lin Lang's background, and Mo Lin Lang jokingly claimed to be a fairy who came to undergo a tribulation.
