During this time, Song Yuqing relies on her medical skills to give birth to and raise two daughters. She is only brought out of cold courtyard when Shen Hanmo needs her to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. By then, Shen Hanmo is determined to marry his savior, Yun Shanshan, and coldly neglects Song Yuqing, allowing Yun Shanshan to bully her at every turn.
