Yingluo presses Mingyu to question, and Mingyu tells what she has seen and heard. Yingluo suspects that Concubine Chun is related to the death of the seventh elder brother. Yingluo recalled the past and made up her mind to return to the Forbidden City. The first step was to please the Queen Mother. Yingluo creates auspiciousness during the release ceremony, and everyone accuses Yingluo of deceiving the Queen Mother in order to win the Queen Mother's happiness, but Yingluo cleverly uses a trick to prove her innocence. The queen mother was overjoyed and promised Yingluo a reward. Yingluo told the queen mother that she only wanted to go back to the palace, and the queen mother wanted to take her back to the Forbidden City. Hongli refused, saying that she would be promoted to a nobleman, but the queen mother disagreed and promoted Yingluo to a nobleman. Yingluo climbed to the sky in one step, and asked Concubine Chun for bright jade. Concubine Chun was very annoyed, but because of Hongli's face, she could only agree. After Yuan Chunwang heard the news, he was very disappointed and disgusted with Yingluo's decision. Yingluo didn't understand why he opposed her being a nobleman, but Yuan Chunwang said that if she married Hongli, she would be betraying herself. The two broke up after a fierce dispute. Yuan Chunwang hated God's injustice, and was very angry and disappointed with Yingluo's betrayal. He secretly determined to take revenge on Yingluo and make her regret it.
