CY insisted that she didn’t know who the abductors were and XY wanted her to return home for her safety. CY refused fearing she may endanger the household since she is the target. XY suspect that CY is holding on to something that the abductors want. CY could only think the she is the Emperor’s adopted daughter and perhaps they wanted something from the Emperor? XY then sent her back to the palace to rest. LJ found the same totem on the dead men matching to that from Song Mansion, XY suspected that CY abductors are linked to his brother’s death. XY was seen talking to his sleeping aunt that he will request the emperor to let him take over his brother’s position in the palace. He knew that his aunt would be mad if she finds out but he needs to do this for a purpose. CY’s teacher came to visit her upon hearing about the abduction attempt. CY thinks they might have been her father’s enemies, but her teacher cannot recall him having any. Even the Emperor and himself owes her father a lot. The teacher advised CY to return to Xue mansion for her own safety. However she was afraid the aunt may recall her pig transformation and thus the teacher handed her a bottle of portion that will make the aunt forget if she consumes it. The emperor must not know that the stone is in CY. XY discovered that CY’s maid is behind aphrodisiac incident. Her excuse is to help XY and CY consummate their marriage. XY seemed rather pleased at this intention and let her off to be punished by CY instead. XY went to the palace to look for CY and informed that he has taken over his brother and in charge of guarding the palace. He wished that XY will trust him more. CY feared that she may scare XY away if she tells him about the stone. XY and LJ then visited where his brother stayed when he was alive and felt very nostalgic. That evening, XY saw some palace maids crying and burning paper with the word "Yun Concubine" at a pavilion. He learnt that she was once the emperor’s favorite but was executed when she was discovered to have a relationship with another man. This incident was not to be mentioned again and it seemed that she was often seen with an imperial guard. XY seemed to know something when he learnt that she is called “Fei Xue”. An exhilarated CY saw XY and they had a meal together and want to tell him her secret. She revealed that her father had a stone that followed the emperor to war and can foresee the future. However the stone was missing when the father died and that it has gone into her body. If it is used, she will turn into the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. The Emperor was looking for the stone and in order to protect her, this was being kept a secret. She felt sorry for hiding it from the emperor who brought her up. XY seemed trouble by the information he gathered earlier, he suspected his brother was killed in the hands of the emperor. The next day, Bai told XY the totem is an ancestral symbol of “Qingyun” Sect who were nobles that does dirty work for others. It seemed that the temple that was burned down with his brother killed in it was a cover up and his brother might have been killed by the emperor. Bai suggested to use CY as bait to lure the abductors, as the relationship between CY and XY will be complicated if the emperor was really the killer. Then we see CY hugging XY who told her that he would fetch her home the next day as it is her birthday. They also prepared some nice clothes for her, however, to make her stand out if the abductors strike.
