Summary & Spoilers

Prince (Yi?) and his entire family is killed, and Princess Pianing is next on the chopping block but she pretends to be mad, causing her to be thrown into the streets so others can watch her humiliating spectacle.

Ming'er slips outside disguised as a male servant. She tells Qungyun, the servant helping her, that if she survives she will never forget this favor.

Elsewhere, The emperor is panicked, and decides to name Prince Zhou his heir, after all he is nearby. He makes a message, and has a military seal, and needs someone to deliver it. A 13year old maidservant volunteers, even though the chances of her succeeding are extremely low, because she wants to repay the emperor for not reporting a mistake of hers in the past. The empress has to basically beg before a servant comes forward to volunteer. Meanwhile the palace gates to the emperor's main palace are destroyed, servants are cut down and soldiers arrive. The Empress tries to stop them but they burst into the Emperor's chambers.

Elsewhere Ming'er manages to sneak out by crawling through tall grass; this is how she runs into the palace maid. She learns of the message and together they sneak out. he general is able to learn of the truth after intimidating a male servant and men are sent after the maid. Ming'er learns that the destination is to get to Prince Zhou and over to Yuzhou. The maid has not left the palace and does not know where to go, and Ming'er realizes she is not as helpful because she is always riding in a carriage and doesn't pay attention that much to where it goes. The girls are nearly killed but unfortunately the maid suffers a fatal cut to the neck. She hands the decree to Ming'er to continue on alone.

Ming'er is clearly not sure what to do but chooses to jump onto a cart and make a run for it on the cart (she steals it). Because she goes so fast, and destroys cars on the way, meaning there are little barriers slowing the men down behind her, she is able to make it out of the city and into the woods. But her luck can only get her so far and they eventually overtake her.

Fortunately for her, Gu is nearby as he is escorting the Prince. She panics and tries to use a stick to protect herself and screams for help (her fear is real) and the soldiers think it is a funny and laugh at her pitiful fight, but she scratches a soldier's face out and runs into the woods. There is a sword at her neck....and then he dies....All the men are killed and it takes a moment for Ming'er to realize that the person killing everyone is someone who is on her size and someone she knows.

She wants him to take her to Prince Zhou, and Gu points on the hill, 'he's up there'. (she breaks down into tears when she realizes its him).

After delivering the seal, Prince Zhou is terrified and doesn't want it--for obvious reasons--but ultimately he is convinced to go into the city.

Gu promises Ming'er he will light one fire work if they fail and two if they succeed....so stay put.This is also the first time that he clearly makes a statement that strongly implies (to the audience) that he will marry her although it is said to her in an ambiguous way--he tells her that he knows who her husband will be--(I also think it is extremely telling that he delays immediately going to the palace and actually tends to her injury AND leads his sidekick behind to guard her).They are able to take advantage of the confusion by posing as re-enforcements for Prince Yan (Prince Zhou disguises as a minister) and they bust in, killing left and right.

The emperor is refusing to sign the conferment decree to Prince Yan. He tells him he has Zhao on the way and Prince Yan plans to write a fake decree--the enemy soldiers bust in and Prince Yan tries to use the emperor as a hostage however Prince Yan is immediately killed by Gu's arrow. The enemy soldiers are cut down very quickly and the emperor is happy with the results.

At the end of it all Gu gets an apology from the emperor for failing him over a joke and he swears to always serve the Zhou family. Gu shoots off two fireworks. We also learn Gu allows the maid to take credit for everything in order to protect the reputation of Ming'er.
