Mo Yihuai told the queen mother how to save Mo Liancheng. He said that the Soul Calming Orb has the function of prolonging life and longevity. Today, only Soul Calming Orb can save Mo Liancheng’s life. Too much to be fooled, she asked about the whereabouts of Mo Yihuai’s Soul Orb. Mo Yihuai saw that the Queen Mother had already taken the bait.

He said that although the Soul Calming Orb was spiritual, it had always been ordered by one person. If he wanted to save Mo Liancheng’s life, he had to kill Qu Tan’er and change the Soul Calming Orb. The queen mother believed that it was true. She said that if this method could really save Mo Liancheng, she would definitely remember Mo Yihuai’s kindness today.

The queen mother sent someone to call Qu Xiaotan to the palace, and she told Mo Liancheng that Mo Liancheng could only live to be twenty-five years old. Of course Qu Xiaotan didn’t believe what the Queen Mother said, she told the Queen Mother not to think of some ways to deal with her all day long. The queen mother changed her former harshness, she wanted Xiaozhi to be moved by emotion and reason, she persuaded Qu Xiaotan to save Mo Liancheng.

Qu Xiaotan knew that only when she died, the Soul Suppression Orb would look for a new owner, so only when she died could Mo Liancheng live.

Qu Xiaotan cried and walked out of the queen mother’s bedroom. She still couldn’t accept the fact that the queen mother said. Qu Xiaotan ignored Jingxin ‘s obstacles, she ran to kneel outside the Imperial Study Room, and asked the emperor to tell her the truth. Qu Xiaotan knelt outside for a day, but the emperor still refused to see her.

In the evening, Mo Liancheng found that Qu Xiaotan was absent-minded when he was eating with him. He thought that the food was not to her appetite. Qu Xiaotan said she was okay, and she asked Mo Liancheng to rest and not to work too hard.

Early the next morning, Qu Xiaotan went to Liu Qianshui to untie the life and death agreement, and she asked Liu Qianshui to hide the matter from Mo Liancheng. After Qu Xiaotan left, Liu Qianshui discovered that Yu Hao had been following Qu Xiaotan.

In order to find out what Qu Xiaotan was thinking, Liu Qianshui went to the Palace of Eight Kings. It just so happened that Mo Liancheng learned from Yu Hao that Qu Xiaotan seemed to be seeking Liu Qianshui, and he also wanted to ask Liu Qianshui. Liu Qianshui told Mo Liancheng that Qu Xiaotan was about to unlock the life and death agreement, which surprised Mo Liancheng.

Mo Liancheng went into the palace to find the emperor, and the emperor told him the truth. Mo Liancheng recalled the verses on the ancient bed, and he finally understood what it meant. It turned out that he was destined to live no more than twenty-five years old. The emperor wanted to comfort Mo Liancheng, and he said that Qu Xiaotan only knew about it a few days ago. Mo Liancheng understood why Qu Xiaotan wanted to unlock the life and death agreement, and he left the imperial study room sadly.

Qu Xiaotan wrote a letter to tell Qu Tan’er about Mo Liancheng, and she hoped Qu Tan’er could help her out. After reading the letter, Qu Tan’er couldn’t help but think of Mo Yihuai. She vaguely felt that this matter had nothing to do with Mo Yihuai.

So Qu Tan’er ran to the Prince’s Mansion to find Mo Yihuai, and the servants of the Prince’s Mansion told her that the Prince had gone to the west of the city. Qu Tan’er went to the west of the city and saw Mo Yihuai with the masked man. She also overheard Mo Yihuai saying that she was just a chess piece. Qu Tan’er ran away disappointed, she was completely dead for Mo Yihuai.

Qu Tan’er was discouraged. She wrote to Qu Xiaotan saying that she was willing to die to save Mo Liancheng. After reading the letter, Qu Xiaotan immediately decided to sacrifice herself to save Mo Liancheng.
Qu Xiaotan went to the Queen Mother’s bedroom, and she told the Queen Mother of her decision. The queen mother gave Qu Xiaotan a glass of wine, and she let Qu Xiaotan go without pain. Qu Xiaotan was about to drink the wine glass. At this moment, Mo Liancheng arrived in time and he stopped her. The emperor also rushed to the queen dowager’s bedroom, and he told the queen dowager that the Soul Calming Orb could not be changed. Only then did the queen mother realize that she was cheated by Mo Yihuai, and she immediately confessed to Mo Yihuai. The emperor did not continue. He asked his men to press the eunuch who was on the queen mother. It turned out that the emperor knew what the queen mother was doing behind his back.
