The episode opens with Prince Tang Qi's bodyguard, Feng Ji, finding him. Tang Qi orders Feng Ji to investigate the whereabouts of the divine physician. The scene then shifts to the court, where the Fu family, in defense of their fourth son, Fu Sijin (who had been adopted by the Qian family), got into a conflict with his bullying aunt Zhao Xiaoyuan and struck her. The entire family is interrogated by the prefect. The youngest daughter, Fu Qiujiu, attempts to defend her family with her innocent charm, but this inadvertently touches a raw nerve for the prefect, who has no children. The prefect declares the Fu family to have disregarded the law and sentences Fu Baiwan and his wife to fifty strokes of the cane. At the critical moment of their execution, Prince Tang Qi arrives just in time, shouting 'Wait!', bringing a glimmer of hope to the Fu family.
