Episode 11 recap: The Crown Prince intends to arrange a marriage for Yin Ruoshui and Lin Cangwu.
The Crown Prince captured prisoners from the Yin Kingdom and expressed his desire to hold a celebratory banquet, during which he planned to kill these prisoners. He also invited Yin Ruoshui to attend the banquet. Yin Ruoshui recognized one of the captives as General Huang, whom she knew personally, and her heart immediately sank. The celebratory banquet was held at the Lin residence, but the Crown Prince did not see Yin Ruoshui there. He asked Lin Cangwu about her absence, and Lin Cangwu replied that she was feeling unwell and might arrive later.
Meanwhile, Yin Ruoshui secretly sneaked into the room where the prisoners were held, intending to release General Huang. However, General Huang insisted on staying, as he didn't want to abandon his soldiers and escape. Yin Ruoshui asked why they were captured in the first place, and General Huang explained that he had been sent by the Queen to search for the missing little princess. Upon hearing this, Yin Ruoshui's emotions surged, and she vowed not to let General Huang be killed.
When Yin Ruoshui called General Huang "Uncle Huang," he raised his head in astonishment. Yin Ruoshui gracefully entered the banquet hall and publicly played an ancient melody from Liaocheng, claiming to entertain the Crown Prince. However, Nangong Xi showed no interest and was eager to witness the spectacle of killing. The captive prisoners, including General Huang, were brought forward despite Lin Cangwu's opposition. The Crown Prince disregarded Lin Cangwu's objections and drew his sword, but Yin Ruoshui suddenly stood up and knelt before the Crown Prince. She stated that she had something important to report, and upon the Crown Prince's permission, she informed him that she was pregnant and could not bear the sight of bloodshed. She requested the Crown Prince to pray for blessings upon the Lin family's future heirs.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince sternly rebuked that there would be no forgiveness for deceiving the ruler. Yin Ruoshui insisted that her words were absolutely true. The Crown Prince immediately declared that he would grant marriage to both her and Lin Cangwu.
