After the Emperor gave Royal tribute to Ying Lili's mother, everyone left for their respective works. Ying Lili went to the Prison with Sheng Li where he told Ying Lili a task to do. Ying Lili went to the special prison where she saw Zhang Yong was tied with shackles, beaten up, and tortured.
Seeing the Crown Princess there, Zhang Yong pleaded to her to tell the Crown Prince to let him live. "I wish I could do that. You should not have listened to your half-sister. Look, she did not even come to rescue you," Ying Lili asserted.
Zhang Yong fell silent after hearing that. "Empress Wei knows how to use the pawns. She is now using your daughter. I am afraid how long she will survive," Ying Lili stated.
Zhang Yong panicked and said, "Crown Princess, please save my daughter. I beg you." He lowered his eyes and continued, "I regret now for killing the mother of the Crown Prince. The one who saved my life, I killed her and I regret it."
