Episode 13 recap: Li Di made a move against He Shi.
When Lu Shi Yan ran over alone, he immediately started questioning the maid next to him about Shen Zhen's situation. To his surprise, the maid got angry and made it clear that her mistress's affairs had nothing to do with him. She even mocked the magistrate in front of her for not daring to act. Previously, when they faced danger, he had promptly helped the people on his side, but now things were different. Confused by the maid's mention of something disgusting, Lu Shi Yan continued to inquire and only then learned that Shen Zhen already knew about the kiss and how she had risked everything to save him, which touched him deeply.
After getting back on the carriage, Lu Shi Yan talked to the person beside him about his concern for Shen Zhen. The person advised him to be kinder and gentler to the other side in the future. After listening to this advice, Lu Shi Yan suddenly understood and stopped the carriage without hesitation. He immediately went to another carriage and, upon seeing Shen Zhen, voluntarily mentioned the kiss and expressed his willingness to take responsibility for it when they returned to Beijing. However, when Shen Zhen heard this, she wondered if he was ill to say such nonsense. Before they could continue their conversation, some assassins suddenly appeared outside. They menacingly brandished their swords and tried to save Lord Zhao. When they realized it was impossible, they resolutely took their own lives. Witnessing the loss of so many lives, Lu Shi Yan directly grabbed the nearby prisoner. To his surprise, the prisoner said he had already anticipated this outcome when he took action. Seeing that the prisoner had no intention of revealing anything, Lu Shi Yan planned to interrogate the person who kept accounts next to him thoroughly. After returning, he didn't continue questioning Shen Zhen about what happened during the day.
After Qing Xi learned about this incident, she immediately called the person aside to question them. However, in the person's eyes, although the Crown Prince seemed dull, his feelings for Shen Zhen were genuine. After discussing it, they planned to continue acting in front of their respective masters to strengthen their relationship. However, things didn't go as planned, and they ended up parting ways unhappily.
During the day, Li Di sent his lover into the carriage, but unexpectedly, he quickly confessed and ordered the coachman to kill the person beside him. Shen Ran immediately rushed to save the person and intended to continue investigating Lan'er's affairs.
After that, Shen Zhen continued to accompany Lu Shi Yan to the capital city. After strolling through the streets, they met Shen Ran and Zhou Yushi. The group gathered together again to discuss matters regarding the Chengxi Canal and planned to take action against Li Di. At this moment, Shen Ran also noticed the affection Lu Shi Yan had for her own younger sister. In a private moment, she advised him not to easily invest emotions in other people, even expressing some concern for her sister in front of Zhou Yushi.
Upon returning, Lu Shi Yan cooperated with his subordinates to stage a murder scene. This forced the person responsible for keeping the accounts to confess and hand over all the books. With this evidence, he went to find his father, intending to put pressure on Li Di. At this time, he also encountered General Su's son, and after exchanging pleasantries, they began discussing marriage matters.
After Shen Ran returned, she continued to act in front of Zhou Yushi, her husband. They deliberately called Shen Zhen out for questioning. Li Di continued to feign innocence and, upon returning, started searching for his belongings. However, he discovered they had been taken by someone else and suspected Lan'er of being responsible.
