Episode 13 recap: The prince sent his imperial physician to confirm if Yin Ruoshui was pregnant.
After seeing the captives fleeing across the border, Yin Ruoshui swiftly shot an arrow past the prince's ear. She made a request to the prince that during their wedding, the two nations should refrain from going to war, otherwise Lin Cangwu would abandon his newlywed wife and join the battlefield to fight the enemy. The prince agreed, and Yin Ruoshui added that since the prince promised to spare the captives, he must surely keep his word.
Upon returning to the general's mansion, the prince had a dream where Yin Ruoshui was his princess, but why didn't she acknowledge it? Lin Cangwu had high hopes that the marriage was real, but Yin Ruoshui stated that her heart had long died within the deep palace walls. While the prince played the flute, Yin Ruoshui was captivated by the melancholic melody and Lin Cangwu, disappointed, turned away.
On the day of the grand wedding, after the prince prepared to present his gifts and bid farewell, a group of masked assassins suddenly barged in, claiming to capture the general's wife. The prince and Lin Cangwu hurriedly protected Yin Ruoshui, and a fierce battle ensued. The prince got injured, and Yin Ruoshui's first instinct was to tear off her clothes and bandage his wounds, using the same technique as she did years ago. The prince couldn't help but be astonished.
Finally, capturing one of the assassins alive, the prince planned to interrogate them to find out who was behind the plot, but Lin Shunqin shot an arrow, killing the captive. The prince ordered the imperial physician to come to the Lin mansion, not to attend to him, but to verify Yin Ruoshui's pulse and confirm if she was truly pregnant. The prince and Lin Cangwu waited outside the room for the results, and the prince told Lin Cangwu that the Lin family had been loyal for generations, nurtured by the emperor to balance the power of the Nan Gong family. However, if Lin Cangwu had any hidden matters, the prince wouldn't be able to save him either.
