Not long after the performance started, one of the craftsmen took the opportunity of the performance to hurt Concubine Gao. In the chaos, Concubine Xian blocked the molten iron for Hongli, and her shoulder was injured. Hailancha was ordered to search for the murderer, and when he arrived near Xinzheku, he only saw Yingluo cleaning the bucket, but returned without success. Concubine Gao was afraid of leaving scars, so she refused to be treated by the imperial physician. The emperor ordered Ye Tianshi to apply medicine to her, but Ye Tianshi discovered that it was not molten iron that burned the concubine, but gold juice. Yuan Chunwang understood that Yingluo's anomaly was to disassociate herself from the Changchun Palace, and also guessed that she was trying to cover the artisan who assassinated the imperial concubine. After the emperor left Chuxiu Palace, he went to visit Concubine Xian in Chengqian Palace. Seeing Concubine Xian's forbearance, he felt very distressed and pity for her. Because of the gold juice mixed into the molten iron, although Ye Tianshi debrided Concubine Gao several times, she still suffered repeated wounds. As a result, Concubine Gao became more restless and violent, Ye Tianshi had nothing to do, and asserted that Concubine Gao had only one month to live. Concubine Xian came to visit Concubine Gao, and revealed to her that she resented her for ruining Huifanara's family, so she mixed gold juice into the molten iron, and Concubine Gao was very resentful.
