Ni Sheng and Ru Ya already moving Ni Qing to the mountain villa with Butler Ming, Xiao Nie and Xie Lan. Meanwhile, Eunuch Li is already going into the mountain villa and preparing everything with his feeble body to welcome the emperor.
Lin Yue is sneaking the emperor chamber from the small window near the back area and manages to see the unconscious emperor. He is carrying the fragile emperor body and sneak out of the palace through the roof. Eunuch Wang is already waiting inside the carriage for the emperor. as soon as the emperor arrives in the carriage, he is navigating it outside the capital pose with the general Lin Yue carriages.

They are going to make a vote to rule empress dowager as their new regent until the emperor healthy again. However, if the prime minister and Zhou include Lord Ni and some ministers who are taking the prime minister side is disappearing. They cannot reach a voting agreement.
They are reaching the mountain villa almost crack of dawn. They are hiding the carriage in the back of the shed and covers with hays. They are putting the unconscious body of the emperor next to Ni Qing body. Ni Qing uses his last energy to caress her husband's face before lying down into his sturdy chest.
Master Mo Feng is arriving in the mountain villa by Ni Qing. He is still in his late thirty with his white elegant face. his thin rosy lip is curving in his face with his nose perfectly sculptured in the middle of the face. his cold demeanour makes him really mysterious.
Mr Zhou is escorting him into the chamber room where he saw the body of the unconscious man with Ni Qing on top of his body in her sleep. He is putting his wooden box on his sling bag on the table and checking the pulse of Jin Yu. He is moving around Ni Qing body to the side before he turns around and checks her pulse.
"He only needs eucalyptus oil to make him wake up. he has to give gratitude to the person who made him sleep as he detoxes all his poison from inside his system. At the moment, his body clears up already from all the poison," Mo Feng is telling them while he is opening his medicine boxes from the bag. He takes out a small clay bottle and opens the caps to put the bottle into Jin Yu nose.
There is the sound of coughing from Jin Yu with him slowly opening his eyes. He is trying to wake up to fast when his body falls back to the bed. Ni Sheng is assisting him to sit upon the bed with the head of the bed supporting his body.
Jin Yu is realising to see the pale face of Ni Qing not moving lay on the bed. He got worried and look at the surrounding place. He is not in the palace anymore and this place is not the four-season mansion. However, he seems more concerned with his wife condition.
"What happens to Ni Qing?" Jin Yu is asking Ni Sheng and general Lin Yue.
"She got poisoned by your dear mother. She is still fighting for her life and your baby," Lin Yue is explaining with a bitter tone of voice.
"what did you say?" exclaimed Jin Yu while he caresses her head with his left hand.
