Episode 8 recap: Ye Shao investigated the missing population alone and encountered danger.
Ye Shao asked Yuan Ming Yu if he wasn't worried that he was the remnant of the previous dynasty who had harmed the princess in secret. Yuan Ming Yu said that if he were the remnant of the previous dynasty, he would be the most unfitting one. If that were the case, he should have catered to himself and approached him. Why would he refuse? Ye Shao went to his uncle to test if he was involved in the arson case, but his uncle dismissed him with a few words. However, Ye Shao concluded that the arson case had nothing to do with his uncle, while his uncle believed that Ye Shao had lost his original nature and was determined not to let him know about his alliance with the Crown Prince.
There have been recent cases of missing men on the streets. Ye Shao and Yuan Ming Yu went out together to investigate, but they were surrounded by the crowd, demanding that Yuan Ming Yu leave them alone. It turned out that they had all received anonymous booklets stating that Yuan Ming Yu was indulgent and used the guise of helping disaster victims to search for male companions for himself.
After seeing this, Yuan Ming Yu returned to the mansion in anger. It seemed that this was the opponent's plan that failed, so they came up with another plan. Yuan Ming Yu planned to investigate again with Ye Shao, but the Emperor issued an order forbidding her from leaving the princess's mansion, so she had to temporarily stay at home to avoid trouble. Ye Shao went out alone to investigate, and Yuan Ming Yu repeatedly urged him to be careful. Ye Shao pretended to be a drunken man alone on the street and was indeed dragged into a dilapidated house. They called the guard to check, and the guard found that the person was a bearded man who had a grudge with him at the auction. He ordered his men to beat him severely. Ye Shao resisted fiercely, but he was outnumbered and eventually captured.
Ye Shao told the guard that it was indeed him who secretly harmed the princess. The guard sneered and said, "So what? Today, I'm going to gouge out his eyes for revenge."
