The Emperor and Empress survives the Empress Dowager's assassination attempt, temporarily out of danger. When Yu Wanyin leaves the palace, she is feignedly rescued by Prince Duan, who then tries to kill her. After Empress Dowager passes away, the Crown Prince poisons Xiahou Dan, causing him to become terminally ill. During the Battle of Mount Bei, Prince Duan launches an ambush under the pretext of eliminating the demoness and purging the court of corrupt officials, but Dan has sent Wanyin away beforehand, while Xie Yong'er sacrifices herself to cover for Wanyin's escape. Wanyin rushes to Peiyang to meet with the Right Army Commander, Bai, and Dan arrives safely thereafter. Finally, in a trap set by Wanyin, Dan proclaims that Prince Duan is a traitor who forged imperial edicts to murder the Emperor and Empress. As the demoralized Prince Duan is arrested, the chaos is put to rest.
