The Empress Dowager understands that this must be the empress's doing, so she summons the emperor and empress to wake up the emperor with Hongli's experience, and promotes Zhen Huan's return to the palace to balance the power of the harem, but the empress tries to stop it but fails.

Zhen Huan went to visit Yunli's biological mother, Concubine Shu, and told her that she was pregnant with Yunli's flesh and blood, and planned to return to the palace to avenge Yunli.

Before Zhen Huan returned to the palace, the queen heard the news and knew that she couldn't stop it, so she deliberately urged the emperor to make a large-scale construction project to welcome Zhen Huan back to the palace. In order for Zhen Huan to return to the palace smoothly, the emperor decided to change Zhen Huan's surname to the Niu Hulu family, named her Concubine Xi, and called her the biological mother of the fourth son of the emperor Hongli, so Zhen Huan was able to return to the palace. The king of Guojun escaped from Zhungeer and survived. He returned to the palace to meet the emperor, but was assigned by the emperor to pick up his new concubine from Ganlu Temple. King Guo and Zhen Huan reunited, and felt that fate had tricked them. Seeing that she couldn't turn back, Zhen Huan decided to go back to the palace cruelly.
