Emperor Xuanjing's attempts to find relief from his dreams by summoning concubines prove unsuccessful. His mother, the Empress Dowager, questions him, and he admits the summoned women were not the cause of his ailment. After the Empress Dowager and the concubines depart, the Emperor reflects on his exhausting efforts and his exhaustion. He learns from Eunuch Ping about Madam Ruyi's desire to provide him a peaceful life in the village, prompting him to arrange a meeting.

Eunuch Ping awkwardly twitched his mouth, thinking to himself, Emperor, are you planning to abdicate? If not, what does occupying someone else’s courtyard mean? But he couldn’t say this.

Evidently, the Emperor didn’t need him to answer, as he arranged his dragon robe and crown and got up to walk towards Jinluan Hall.

The Emperor’s antics over the past two nights had spread throughout the harem, leaving some horrified, some curious, but others anxious.

Lingxi Palace.

Although Concubine Cui Meng hadn’t been summoned to sleep, she was nevertheless extremely anxious, so anxious that she hadn’t slept well for two nights. Whenever there was the slightest disturbance outside, she would immediately open her eyes, resulting in dark circles under her eyes that couldn’t be concealed these past two days.

"Madam, please try to sleep," Hong Yu couldn’t help but advise her, "Staying like this is not beneficial."

"Hong Yu." Concubine Cui Meng grabbed Hong Yu’s hand, "Has he entered the palace?"

Hong Yu shook her head.

"Go watch him, and as soon as he enters the palace, inform him to come see me." Concubine Cui Meng closed her eyes for a moment, "I have a bad feeling."

"Don’t worry, I have the young one watching from outside." Hong Yu nodded, "But madam, you cannot mess up your plans; this matter has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Cui Meng looked at Hong Yu for a long time before slightly nodding her head: "Yes, it has nothing to do with my palace."

"But madam, your complexion doesn’t seem well; should we call an Imperial Physician to check your pulse?"

"Go ahead." Concubine Cui Meng waved her hand.

Once the room was empty, Concubine Cui Meng reached under her pillow to pull out a pouch. From it, she took out a small silver medal engraved with the character "Xian," felt it for a moment, and sighed softly before putting it back into the pouch and then under the pillow.

Very soon, Imperial Physician Hu arrived. After checking her pulse, it turned out to be excessive worry, and he prescribed two sets of medicine, advising plenty of rest and less worry.

"How is the Emperor?"

"Still troubled by many dreams." Imperial Physician Hu replied respectfully, "Even after Madam Ruyi had her pulse checked, it seemed of no avail."

"Hmm." Concubine Cui Meng waved her hand.

Hong Yu accompanied Imperial Physician Hu out, slipping him a large pouch.

Soon, Hong Yun prepared the medicine.

"Drink the medicine and then try to sleep again." Hong Yun supported Concubine Cui Meng as she lay down, then picked up a fan and began to fan her.

After not sleeping well for two days, Concubine Cui Meng was genuinely exhausted and quickly closed her eyes. Who knew how long had passed when she suddenly felt unable to sleep. She got up and walked out. Though the weather seemed hot, as soon as she stepped outside, she found the sky suddenly turning overcast, with rain threatening. She could only turn back to run home, but behind her was no longer her Lingxi Palace but a strange yet familiar palace.

Having no choice, she steeled herself to walk inside, raising her head abruptly to see the plaque of Yaohua Palace.

"Haohao, no, Xianxian..." she hurriedly walked inside, calling her son’s name but suddenly unsure of her son’s actual name.

"Cui Meng." At that moment, a familiar voice called, "Dream Sister."

"Who?" Concubine Cui Meng instinctively searched around but saw no one.

"Dream Sister..." The voice gradually approached, a figure slowly became discernable, and that person held the hand of a child of three or four.

The child saw her and gleefully outstretched his arms: "Mother Concubine."

"You... you all... Madam Hui? Xianxian?" Concubine Cui Meng stepped back two paces, "Weren’t you dead? How are you here? Are you human or ghost?"
