Episode 10 recap: Is true emotion involved?
Qing Yan wanted to stay by Ling Zhi's side, but Ling Zhi wanted to send her out of the palace quickly, as it was indeed unsafe in this place of cannibalism. At this time, Mu Xuan Jue came, and Mu Xuan Jue also saw Qing Yan. The cake that Qing Yan had just eaten was placed next to her, and Mu Xuan Jue, seeing Ling Zhi's deep affection for Qing Yan, planned to keep Qing Yan by his side.
Ling Zhi quickly refused, but Mu Xuan Jue said that as long as Qing Yan came to him, she would have more glory and wealth. Qing Yan still wanted to stay by Ling Zhi's side. Ling Zhi was worried that Mu Xuan Jue would punish Qing Yan, so she quickly distanced the two, as Ling Zhi was concerned about Qing Yan.
Mu Xuan Jue told Ling Zhi that a person should not have weaknesses, but his concern for Ling Zhi made Ling Zhi feel that he sincerely liked her. Mu Xuan Jue's hand suddenly loosened.
The next day, Ling Zhi took the cakes she had personally made to Mu Xuan Jue's bedroom, where Mu Xuan Jue had not yet arrived, and the guard asked her to wait there. Ling Zhi suddenly smelled a floral scent, which was unique to her brother. She searched and found a secret underground room with a tombstone, which turned out to be the tomb of Mu Xuan Jue's mother. When Mu Xuan Jue saw Ling Zhi, he thought she had killed his mother and angrily threatened her to leave.
Mu Xuan Jue knelt on the ground and apologized to his mother, saying he would deal with this matter in due course. The maid delivered the poison to the Empress, who was delighted, as it would make it more convenient to fight against the foreign tribe. Ling Zhi tried to convey information to Bing Jian about the secret chamber under Mu Xuan Jue's bedroom, but a group of guards came out and took her away, as she now had evidence of her connection with the foreign tribe, and the Empress wanted to interrogate her.
