Zhen Huan found Mei Zhuang sincerely, hoping that the other party would understand her actions. Mei Zhuang asked Zhen Huan what her intention was;

Concubine Hua regained her favor, and Zhen Huan and Ling Rong were at odds with each other and refused to give up. The queen wins over Ling Rong and continues to sow discord between Zhen Huan and Mei Zhuang. Meizhuang treated Zhen Huan coldly, and Zhen Huan was very sad.

Concubine Hua was restored, and although the emperor showed great favor to her, Concubine Hua felt vaguely uneasy in her heart. The emperor had a good impression of Songzhi, the maid beside Concubine Hua, and Concubine Hua dared not speak out.

Seeing that the relationship between Mei Zhuang and Zhen Huan is indifferent, Ling Rong takes advantage of the victory to pursue, and uses his own blood to prepare a medicinal meal and send it to Zhen Huan in order to impress Zhen Huan; Zhen Huan sees Ni Duan and is unmoved.
