insisted on reducing or exempting taxes nationwide despite the ministers’ dissuasion. Everyone could not dissuade him but obey. The maids were working outside the Hall of Nourishing the Heart. Everyone felt that the emperor worked hard every day and had worse than himself. Wei Yingluo heard all these things. After so much, although the emperor is sometimes unkind, he is a good emperor, and Wei Yingluo is also slowly changing his view of the emperor. When the emperor was out, he accidentally saw Wei Yingluo working on the ground. He suddenly felt relieved and asked General Li whether he was too harsh on Wei Yingluo.
Wei Yingluo was worried about the queen's body and went to visit every day, which made Yuan Chunwang jealous. Wei Yingluo said frankly that the queen was kind to herself, and she did so in return. She also held Yuan Chunwang's mouth intimately, saying that he would take care of him in this way when he was sick, which made Yuan Chunwang happy. Madam Liu of Xinzheku was instructed by the pure concubine to sneak into Wei Yingluo's room and put the puppet cursing the noble concubine into the room. Yuan Chunwang saw it but didn't take it seriously. When Er Qing saw Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng's private meeting, she became even more jealous, thinking about how to separate the two. The emperor
was soft-hearted to Wei Yingluo, and in front of the queen, expressed his desire to pardon Wei Yingluo and let her return to the palace to continue to serve the queen. It was not good for Er Qing to listen to her by the side, deliberately tempting the emperor to see the scene where Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng met. The emperor saw that Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng behaved intimately, and he was jealous. He walked away on the spot, embracing Erqing. Mingyu saw that Erqing deliberately lured the emperor to see Wei Yingluo's private association Fu Heng, and accused her of deliberately framed Wei Yingluo. Mingyu didn't expect Erqing to deliberately frame a friend for Fu Heng and wanted to tell Wei Yingluo the truth, but couldn't stand Erqing's low request, so she agreed to hide it for Erqing.
Mother Liu deliberately filed a complaint, and brought the palace people to Wei Yingluo’s residence to find a doll cursing the noble concubine. The emperor was talking about Si elder brother with Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian took the opportunity to speak nicely to Si elder brother to win the emperor's favor. Her servants secretly reported Wei Yingluo's curse on Concubine Gao. After hearing Concubine Xian said that the matter was related to Wei Yingluo, the emperor decided to hear it personally. Mother Liu said that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and she also said that Wei Yingluo gave milk to Concubine Gao and was abused. The whole palace knows that the evidence is as strong as a mountain. Although the case is still suspicious, the emperor is jealous of Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng's love, so he decided to convict Wei Yingluo on the spot.

Jinxiu pleased Yuan Chunwang and accidentally said that Wei Yingluo cursed the imperial concubine and was arrested. Yuan Chunwang was shocked when he heard that, and immediately ran to Fu Heng for help. Hearing that Wei Yingluo was in trouble, Fu Heng asked the emperor to intercede on the spot, but Yuan Chunwang held him back. Yuan Chunwang analyzed the stakes for Fu Heng, saying that Fu Heng's plea for Wei Yingluo would surely anger the emperor, and Wei Yingluo would be the real dead end. Fu Heng was worried about Wei Yingluo's safety, and could not go to the emperor to intercede. He could only talk to the queen, hoping that his sister would wake up and save Wei Yingluo.
Seeing that Fu Heng was worried about Wei Yingluo's affairs, Er Qing simply took advantage of the fire and persuaded Fu Heng to marry herself to dispel the emperor's suspicion. Only in this way could Wei Yingluo be saved. When Fu Heng spoke with Er Qing, the queen shed tears, but still did not wake up. Wei Yingluo inspected the cursed little doll and used the knotting method to be different from her own as an excuse to let Mother Liu show her feet and easily justify herself. Mother Liu was locked up, and Wei Yingluo knew that she was being instructed to frame herself, so she advised Concubine Xian to interrogate the instigator. He thought that the curse would be resolved, but the emperor refused to let Wei Yingluo go, and locked her up on the grounds that Wei Yingluo had been with the guards.
Fu Heng knelt outside the palace for a day and a night, but the emperor was unwilling to change his mind and threatened that Fu Heng and Wei Yingluo would never be fulfilled. Fu Heng knew that his affairs with Wei Yingluo had aroused the emperor's hatred, and in order to rescue Wei Yingluo, he could only reluctantly express to the emperor that he was willing to marry Erqing. When the emperor saw Fu Heng figured out and was overjoyed, he let Wei Yingluo go and ordered Fu Heng to marry him. Wei Yingluo was acquitted and returned to Xinzheku happily, but Fu Heng came to tell her that he was going to marry Erqing. Fu Heng returned the Luozi that Wei Yingluo had given to her, but Wei Yingluo turned and threw it into the pool, trying to cut off from Fu Hengen. Wei Yingluo told Fu Heng that when the emperor wanted to deal with herself for the crime of fornication, she did not refute it because it was a fact and also her insistence on the love between the two, but Fu Heng easily abandoned the love between the two. Fu Heng was also very uncomfortable, but what can he do? He can only save herCan stay away from her. After Wei Yingluo left, Fu Heng ran to the pool and picked up the Luozi. However, the Luozi was easy to pick up, but the feelings that had been let go were hard to harvest.
When Wei Yingluo learned that Fu Heng was about to marry, she was very sad, hid in the house and cried, accusing Fu Heng of being a big liar. Yuan Chunwang knew that Wei Yingluo felt uncomfortable, and he also liked Wei Yingluo, so he only comforted Wei Yingluo, but did not tell her the truth about Fu Heng's marriage. Yuan Chunwang and Wei Yingluo stayed and depended on each other, and after they met, they depended on each other for fate. Wei Yingluo didn't know why a capable person like Yuan Chunwang came to the bottomless place of the Forbidden City. Her words evoked Yuan Chunwang's memories.
It turned out that Yuan Chunwang was not an ordinary person, but an illegitimate son outside the Yongzheng Palace. Yuan Chunwang was adopted by his adoptive parents since he was a child. Before the death of his adoptive mother, he gave him the token of worship and asked him to find his father in the capital. When Yuan Chunwang was young, his eighth uncle failed in the struggle for power with Yongzheng. After seeing the Buddha beads, he even retaliated against him and turned him into an eunuch. Obviously his father is right in front of him, but Yuan Chunwang can only watch his father doting on other children as a slave. This kind of hatred was accumulated over the years, and Yuan Chunwang was overwhelmed, so he was determined to get ahead in this Forbidden City.
