After eradicating the Nian clan and its henchmen, the emperor began to deal with Nian's accomplice, his uncle Longkodo. Longkodo is the former lover of his mother, the Empress Dowager. The emperor always believed that this incident made him lose face and was determined to eradicate him.

Although the queen mother disagreed with the emperor's approach, as a mother, she must protect her son's country. In order to fulfill his son, he couldn't bear the death of his former lover by his own son, and also to protect the reputation of the royal family, he personally visited Longkodo secretly, tricked him into drinking poisoned wine, and poisoned his lover to death with his own hands, but the queen mother was very sad because of this incident afterwards. Wen Shichu finds out that Zhen Huan and King Guo are in love and is deeply shocked. The queen mother was seriously ill and bedridden due to Longkoduo's incident, but the emperor refused to visit him. Only Meizhuang took good care of the queen mother every day.
