On the Mid-Autumn Night in the 23rd year of Taiping, the glazed lantern hung by Feng Qitong, the eldest daughter of the general's palace, had not yet been extinguished. A "collaboration case" that framed Po Tian had crushed a century-old general. Her father's black iron talisman was stuffed into the palm of her hand, but the lingering warmth was still there. She had followed her childhood sweetheart, Gu Changfeng, a young man from the Supervision Department, to escape into the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and became a medical girl Qin Wu.
Lin'an City has an undercurrent, and the gilt koi carp donated by the prime minister's disciples has caused a strange epidemic. While on the run, Feng Qitong uncovered the "Golden Scale Poison Bureau", but was involved in a bigger whirlpool - the prince Xiao Yu who was investigating the case incognito was seriously injured and fell into the deep stream where she was collecting medicine.
From the poisonous carp in the south of the Yangtze River to the gu disaster in the northern Xinjiang, from the forged letter of collaboration between the Feng family army and the century-old alliance between the Di people and the royal court, all the conspiracies point to the shocking chess game under the dragon's chair. Feng Qitong used his body as a bait to defeat the poisonous plan, and used the Populus euphratica embankment to control the mountains and rivers, playing chess between the Prime Minister's "loyal minister" disguise and Xiao Yu's "Ming Jun" disguise. When her childhood sweetheart Gu Changfeng sacrificed her life to get back the truth at the border, and when Xiao Yu, the heart-devouring poisonous man, pointed his sword at the Ninth Five-Year Plan for her, she split the national jade seal and sank the black iron talisman into the clear spring where thousands of people drink horses.
This is a game with the world at stake. The orphan girl of the general took off her fine clothes and rewrote the law in poplar catkins; the iron-blooded emperor shattered his crown and returned his power to the people in the wind, forest and sea. When the three hundred orphans outside the palace wall recited the "New Civil Covenant" in unison, and when the royal court of Di people exchanged war horses for saplings, the history books finally added a note: the phoenix perched on the phoenix tree, the prosperous age did not rely on the dragon's chair, but in the hearts of the people.
