Yi Ling ordered Minzhe to handle the Sect while Linyu was preoccupied. In a way, it was Minzhe's punishment for accidentally divulging her identity. It was either that or face Mu Xin. Minzhe decided to follow his mother's wishes rather than face his old man. He knew that he would receive a worse punishment since it involved his mother's safety.
Yi Ling told Tefei to guard her chamber while she went to the Blue Rose Palace. Tefei decided to stay outside now rather than inside. He felt that ever since he could conjure a human body, he should keep a respectable distance from his master, especially since she would be unconscious.
Inside the palace, Mu Xin was in the hall with Haoran. Contrary to Yi Ling's imagination, Haoran wasn't protesting. He was actually kneeling in front of Mu Xin, singing praises and whatnot.
"What's going on here?" Yi Ling was puzzled by the scene in front of her. Wasn't Haoran supposed to be mad?
