Episode 2 recap: The Crown Princess used a false pregnancy as an excuse to escape the funeral.
Subordinate Du Bin naturally couldn't believe that Princess Yuejian was actually pregnant, so he immediately summoned the imperial physician. Yuejian had already changed into white clothes, and soon the imperial physician arrived. After taking her pulse, the imperial physician confirmed that Yuejian was indeed pregnant, which came as a complete surprise to them. However, at the moment, Du Bin had no way to deal with Yuejian. Little did they know, before the imperial physician arrived, Yuejian had already used her skills to modify her pulse, so when the imperial physician took her pulse, he could only feel a smooth pulse.
Du Bin could only follow Yuejian's orders for now. Yuejian asked him whether she should also sacrifice herself and be buried with the deceased prince. Du Bin had no choice but to tell her to focus on nurturing the child. That night, Yuejian went to see her aunt and informed her that the Crown Prince had already died. However, her aunt knew that the Crown Prince was very cunning, so to prevent any suspicious incidents, she decided to poison everyone in the Eastern Palace.
Yuejian originally thought her mission was complete, but her aunt informed her to continue pretending, this time by actually becoming pregnant with the child of the dragon seed. Yuejian found all of this absurd, but her aunt said that everything they were doing was for a good outcome. Her aunt then handed Yuejian a night-blooming jasmine flower as a secret symbol.
Yuejian returned to the Eastern Palace that night and deliberately attracted the attention of the guards. As a result, she accidentally ended up in the sleeping quarters of the Second Prince. The Second Prince saw Yuejian, and she took him hostage. When the guards at the door asked if he needed assistance, the Second Prince claimed that he was fine, not revealing that Yuejian was in the room. Yuejian also saw the face of the Second Prince and couldn't help but admit that he looked exactly like the Crown Prince.
The Second Prince also recognized Yuejian as the person she was. In order to complete the mission, Yuejian had no choice but to find the Second Prince and knock him unconscious, preparing to engage in sexual relations. However, just as they lay on the bed, the Second Prince woke up. Upon learning that Yuejian wanted to use him for the purpose of impregnation, the Second Prince directly pinned her down. When Yuejian tried to assassinate him, she was surprised to find that he had taken out the night-blooming jasmine flower from his waist. It turned out they were working together.
The Second Prince teased Yuejian once again, but Yuejian explained that she was only doing this to complete her mission. The Second Prince agreed to cooperate, but on the condition that he wanted to meet the Valley Master. Yuejian agreed, and they reached a consensus. Du Bin suspected that the assassin in black was the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince heard about this, he believed that she must have someone backing her, and it could be determined that she was not from the Yin family. It seemed that there was an even greater conspiracy behind the scenes.
The Crown Prince had no intention of killing her and decided to observe Yuejian's next move.
