When Mei steps in to stop the conflict, the general states that Mei must be a very powerful individual to have a strong bodyguard. Xie Yu, a Crown Prince Xian supporter and his son Xie Bi, a Prince Yu supporter, both realize that their guest is Mei Changsu, and quickly notify their masters. Prince Jing returns to the capital after making a military report. As the competition commences, Jingrui, Yujin, Mei Changsu and Fei Liu arrive, catching the attention of Prince Xian and Prince Yu. They both take the opportunity to gain his support but are interrupted when the Grand Empress Dowager summons the young masters. At the palace, Princess Nihuang notices Mei Changsu and becomes suspicious of him when the Grand Empress Dowager calls him "Xiao Shu", as well as thinking Mei and the princess were engaged. She later stops him and invites him to take a walk with her. (Source: Wikipedia)
