Synopsis: Ye orchestrates a public reveal of Li Zongxu’s crimes, using Apuna’s testimony and the recovered funds. The Emperor, wary of upheaval, hesitates to act. Yuan confronts his slum roots, vowing to reform Chang’an. A final trap snares Li, but Ye’s victory feels hollow as she mourns her aunt. Jiayue and Wu depart together, free of the court.

Review: Ye’s triumph is bittersweet—smartly executed but emotionally raw. Yuan’s resolve shines, though the Emperor’s indecision frustrates. The pacing sags slightly, but the closure for side characters charms. A strong, reflective lead-in to the finale!
