After their marriage, Princess Pingyang admonishes her husband in public for his lack of maturity. When he sees her packing to return to Chang’an, he implies that she has an affair with Wei Qing and hits her. Princess Pingyang sets off angrily without telling him that Empress Wang is critically ill. At the palace, her bruises are noticed by Empress Wang, who is unable to pass away peacefully. Princess Pingyang blames Zifu for her marriage and Empress Wang’s last moments. Under the pretense of seeking his father, Duan Hong goes undercover to investigate Liu An in Huainan. Xiahou Po goes to the stables to reconcile with Princess Pingyang following Zifu’s advice, only to bump into Wei Qing and mistake it for a secret meeting. This further worsens the relationship between Princess Pingyang and Zifu. Meanwhile, Liu Che and Zifu are worried about their son Liu Ju’s illness. (Source: Viu)
