Episode 3 recap: Yuan Ming Yu is preparing funds for disaster relief.
Ye Shao noticed that the Fourth Princess was different from before and had forgotten many things. Unable to hide it from Ye Shao, Yuan Ming Yu decided to be honest and explained that she had lost her memory completely since waking up after the last assassination attempt. She couldn't remember anything that happened before. This secret was known only to Ye Shao, and she considered him a trusted person.
Yuan Ming Yu warned Ye Shao that if he dared to reveal this information and let others use it against her, she would not spare him. It was a year of famine, with the people wandering and destitute, lacking food and clothing. Yuan Ming Yu believed that if she started providing disaster relief, she would be one step closer to becoming an emperor. She initially thought that disaster relief was simple, just giving out some money. However, her maid Jinlan informed her that not only did her princess's mansion lack funds, but even the imperial treasury was empty. That's why the emperor didn't mention anything about disaster relief.
Yuan Ming Yu had a thought. If there was no money, did that mean there were no jewels either? Ye Shao, who was nearby, overheard the conversation between Yuan Ming Yu and Jinlan and couldn't help but be intrigued. Yuan Ming Yu took a precious item and disguised herself, then went to a pawnshop and had a conversation with the pawnshop owner. In the end, they reached an agreement to split the proceeds in an 80-20 ratio.
After Yuan Ming Yu left the pawnshop, a bearded man entered and interrogated the shop owner about the conspiracy between him and Yuan Ming Yu. It turned out that Yuan Ming Yu planned to hold an auction with the pawnshop owner, and they would split the profits with a 20-80 ratio between them.
