Upon arriving at Chaoyang Pavilion, the three entered a private room. Princess Yurong instructed her guards to stand at the door while she, Gu Jiaojiao, and Jin Shun entered Chaoyang Pavilion together.
Once everyone was alone, Princess Yu Rong smiled and asked, "So? Did Xie Zhaozhao tell you the truth?"
Gu Jiaojiao recounted the events of the palace banquet to Princess Yurong.
“Gu Jiaojiao, Xie Zhaozhao, nine and a half out of ten sentences she says are lies and clichés, but she is also good at pretending, and the evidence she presents is airtight.”
"what is going on?"
"It's very simple. Your sister-in-law collaborated with the Crown Prince to send the Emperor a panacea.

"Xie Zhaozhao, Gu Shaoyu, I swear I won't rest until I kill you!"
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Since Gu Shaoyu had gone to the Northwest, then Xie Zhaozhao and the child in her womb could go to see the King of Hell!
The following day, the Nanzhao Kingdom presented its demands to the court: either Nanzhao Kingdom would engage in war with Daqian, or Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao would be handed over to Nanzhao Kingdom for processing.
Emperor Hui's reply was: "The Nanzhao Kingdom's envoys, get out of Dagan!"
