While Yun Li was casually framed by Mo Yi and thrown into prison, Mei Kaiye was left to handle things on her own.
However, Mei Kai Ye was now annoyed by her situation and simply chose to ignore her, letting her fend for herself in prison.
Later, when Fei Zuo successfully seized power and visited the Great Zhao Kingdom, he learned about the events that had occurred to Mei Kai Ye after his departure. Mei Kai Ye couldn’t help but pour out her grievances to Fei Zuo, which made Mo Yi very displeased. During the banquet, Mo Yi kept a dark expression, casting resentful glances at the two from time to time. Mei Kai Ye didn’t mind, but Fei Zuo felt uncomfortable. Especially since someone kept hinting that he should return to the Ming Sheng Kingdom.
Fei Zuo, with a forced smile, said he wanted to take Yun Li away and let her enjoy some freedom. Mo Yi agreed with a sinister laugh. Mei Kai Ye was grateful, knowing that Fei Zuo wanted to seek revenge for her. But it didn’t matter anymore, as Yun Li had lost her chance at happiness.
Before leaving, Fei Zuo gave Mei Kai Ye a hug. Mo Yi erupted and ordered someone to add something to Fei Zuo’s farewell drink, determined to teach him a painful lesson – rendering him unable to have intimate relations for a year.
Later, Du Gu Ming requested to guard the border and apologized to Mei Kai Ye before leaving. Mei Kai Ye smiled and shook her head: “Little Ming, it’s not your fault. I’ve already come to terms with my feelings.”
Du Gu Ming smiled slightly.
