*This article contains spoilers. In EP9 of the Chinese TV series "Lady Huozhu: Tears of Pearls," Fanghai City is attacked by someone with a hidden weapon and falls into the water.
At the suggestion of Emperor Xu, the final test of the martial arts competition was to be held at Lake Shimong-ping. Fang Haishi, who has a fear of water from childhood, nearly falls into the water.
When Tei Ran saw this, she was worried, but Di Xu was displeased. Fang Zhuo participated as a guard and rescued Kai Shi who had fallen into the water after being attacked by the unknown family, even though his mask had come off.
Black bloodstains were found, raising the suspicion of poisoning, and Di Xu ordered a thorough investigation. Di Xu asked Fang Zheng about the selection of the palace. Fang Zheng told Di Xu that Haishi was safe and would not pursue the matter.
He advises her to remove her mask and move to the Zhaoming Palace. Di Xu mentions that Fang Zhu was injured by the Haishi incident and encourages her to marry Ji Qiqi (Zheng Yongti), but Fang Zhu swears to remain single for life.
That night, Qiqi was lost in thought as she recalled the past when her engagement to Fang Zhuang was rejected. Meanwhile, Fang Zhuang restrained Su Ming and gave Haishi some medicine.
Then, Miichi remembered the appearance of the people he saw when he fell into the water.
