The imperial concubine tried every means to no avail, thinking Yingluo was really a fool, she had no choice but to let her go. The concubine next to the imperial concubine felt that Yingluo was not really stupid, and was slightly wary of her. In the palace maid's office, seeing that Yingluo hasn't returned for a long time, Jixiang is very worried, but Jinxiu spreads rumors that Yingluo has gone to a private meeting, Jixiang gets angry and argues with her. At this time, Yingluo came back, looked at everyone thoughtfully, and lay down to rest without saying a word. The next day, Yingluo approached Linglong and pointed out that she had told Concubine Gao the secret, but Linglong denied it, and Yingluo gave her a severe reprimand, making her even more jealous. After tidying up Linglong, Yingluo went to Aunt Fang to see if she could find any clues about the cause of her sister's death, but she found nothing. Because Jinxiu spread rumors that Yingluo had an affair with the guards of the Qianqing Gate, the rumors became more and more vigorous, and even Madam Zhang approached Yingluo to inquire about the situation. So she intentionally went out late at night and was discovered by Jinxiu. Jinxiu told Aunt Fang that Aunt Fang hated her because of the successive festivities with Yingluo, so she asked Jinxiu to keep an eye on Yingluo and report any news in time. Later, Jinxiu discovered that Yingluo and her bodyguard Qingxi were giving and receiving in secret. Not long after, Jinxiu discovered that Yingluo not only felt sick and vomited when she smelled fish, but even her waist became thicker.
