In the Ministry of Defense, Xia family manor, Xing Baihe confidently entered through the secret entrance. Although it is considered a secret entrance, the Xia family and their servants are aware of her arrival and even gave her a warm and respectful welcome. It is only a secret from outsiders especially from the people in the palace, including the emperor Feng Jun Yi.
The servants guide her towards their eldest miss's manor, Xia Ruzhi. After her husband, the second prince, was imprisoned and everything they owned was seized back by the palace, her father begged the emperor to keep her life in exchange of his loyalty and the command seal for all the empire's soldiers and guards. He chose his daughter's life over power and lived with the empty title of the Minister of Defense.
