Duke Xue arrives at the coming-of-age ceremony with an imperial edict to arrest Yan Lin and his father due to their army's rebellion. He’s been working with King Ping Nan to insert rebels into the Yan family’s army so they can instigate a rebellion and implicate the Yan family. Zhang Zhe stops the arrest on a technicality, which Duke Xue eventually overcomes. He also confronts Xie Wei on his incomplete ceremonial speech to Yan Lin.

This episode is just chock-full of tension. Most obviously, the tension involved in Duke Xue's threat around everyone at the infamous coming-of-age ceremony. But also other moments of tension such as the conversation between Zhang Zhe and Xie Wei, where the former demonstrates that little things do not slip past his notice and basically puts the latter on notice.

Hmm... All progressed just fine and amazing. Until... I saw that Duke Xue galloping. I'm scared. Whoaaa the Emperor was amazing for that. Zhang Zhe was so observant. You know... I can't believe I am watching two MLs of other dramas I hv watched before, facing off in this drama. Xie Wei and Zhang She. Like that's a new experience. Both Empress Dowager and Xue Yuan... I need them to suffer!!!
