Episode 2 recap: Zhang Yi Meng discovered that Jing Cheng was planning to assassinate the three highnesses.
Yuanzhu would not let herself be controlled by others. When she saw the whip of the housekeeper coming towards her, she quickly turned around and ran. The housekeeper and her men were chasing after her, but suddenly someone stopped them and told the housekeeper some news: the third highness had arrived. Knowing that the third highness was notoriously difficult to serve, the housekeeper intentionally assigned this task to Yuanzhu. Holding a tray with wine, Yuanzhu went to meet the third highness. When she arrived at the door of the third highness, she unexpectedly met Prince Jing Cheng. Upon seeing someone attempting to assassinate Jing Cheng, she quickly warned him. After the assassin was driven away, Jing Cheng revealed a secret to Yuanzhu - he was actually Prince Yuanzhu of the Gu Xi Kingdom.
Five years ago, Princess Yuanzhu encountered bandits while she was out, and one of them ended up being Jing Cheng. He had a hard time finding the princess, but now that the emperor was seriously ill, the princes and princesses were engaged in power struggles. To ensure Yuanzhu's safety, he had to let her temporarily stay in the royal household. The reason for presenting her as a maid was to conceal her true identity.
Upon hearing Jing Cheng's words, Zhang Yi Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Jing Cheng's handsome face and felt a sense of familiarity. While the two were talking, a guard suddenly walked in and called Jing Cheng outside. Curious, Zhang Yi Meng followed them and inadvertently overheard the guard and Jing Cheng discussing their plan to assassinate the third highness.
