Xue Wu makes it to the prince's centopath but there are two men from the Fuchsia Brigade guarding it. They haven't seen her yet. Xue Wu uses her superior chemistry skills to start a fire with oleander. When the two guards go to investigate the fire, their skin starts to itch from the burning plant. (Something similar was done in Three Kingdoms.) The itchy guards leave to go rinse off in the river. This gives Xue Wu the opportunity to have plenty of flashbacks at the tomb.
Yuwen Yung and his people have been searching for Xue Wu for days. A scout rides up to report he's seen a large amount of Qi palace guards heading somewhere to apprehend a wanted criminal. Yung just knows this has something to do with the divine sorceress. Ariel, Ookla, Ride!
After spending way too much time at Chang Gong's tomb, Xue Wu starts to leave only to turn around and face Zheng Er and her troop. The empress delights in informing Xue Wu all her prayers and flashbacks were for nothing as Chang Gong's body isn't even here.
Zheng Er is just about to stab Xue Wu in the belly to kill the baby when Thank the Drama Gods! here comes Yuwen Yung to the rescue. Where'd all that smoke come from? As Xiao Dong is helping Xue Wu get away, she drops the comb Chang Gong had bought her on their last day together. Zheng Er finds it.
The Qi are in hot pursuit of the fleeing Zhou. Arrows are flying everywhere and one of them hits Xue Wu in the back, knocking her off the horse. Xiao Dong runs back to where she is just as Zheng Er and her troops catch up. Zheng Er orders the arrows to be released. Xiao Dong uses his body to protect Xue Wu and block the flying missiles from hitting her.
Yung picks up Xue Wu to carry her away. Despite looking like a pin cushion, Xiao Dong has the strength left to lift up a large log and throw it at the Qi archers. They quickly regroup and shoot him up with even more arrows.
Cute Boy, no! People, I cannot convey just how upset I am at Xiao Dong's death.
Yung carries Xue Wu all the way to Zhou and the palace. The imperial physician is summoned immediately. What with all the arrow wounds and falls from horses and such, the doctor isn't sure he can save both mother and child. Xue Wu begs her "Weirdo" to save the baby. Yung promises her they will both make it, but secretly he orders the physicians to save the mother if it comes down to a choice.
Zheng Er has a major meltdown when she learns Xue Wu has now found asylum in Zhou. Gao Wei, who already can't sleep because of his guilt over Chang Gong, orders the empress to just let Xue Wu go. Zheng Er pretends to obey him but as soon as Gao Wei isn't looking she orders Zu Ting to do whatever it takes to kill Xue Wu. Also, Zheng Er is still sneaking out of the palace at night.
Yung finds his own court is divided as to whether it's a good idea or not to give shelter to Xue Wu. To settle the matter, Yung makes the surprise announcement that Xue Wu will now be his imperial concubine. If Qi/Zheng Er keeps sending assassins to kill the divine sorceress, it will be considered an act of war.
