Fated Hearts
Overview
The Emperor of Jinxiu happily accepts Sui Ge’s proposal to keep Jing Shi in Susha after the wedding with his sister, as it allows him to take control of Jing Shi’s army. Yi Xiao continues to probe Ning Fei, Wei Ran, and Jing Shi about what happened after the battle in Pingling, and their differing responses make her more suspicious of Wei Ran and Jing Shi. She trades intel with Sui Ge so that she can pursue her other leads, while Prime Minister Zhuang Shen makes his move against Sui Ge.
