### Summary
The chapter's tension escalates with an assassination attempt that leaves Lokheun injured, prompting a surprisingly intimate and protective response from Emperor Garyun. In a dramatic turn, Garyun personally sucks poison from her wound, his intense fury over her injury contrasting sharply with his unexpected mercy in sparing their attacker. This overt display of favoritism deepens the dramatic irony, as he remains publicly obsessed with finding the mysterious "Yeon" while growing ever closer to Lokheun's male persona. The incident plunges Lokheun into a state of emotional turmoil; she is frustrated with her perceived weakness and overwhelmed by the pressure of her dual identity. As the long-awaited identity reveal is once again delayed, fan speculation intensifies, with some wondering if a napkin Garyun uses to bandage her arm is a deliberate hint that he is finally connecting the dots. The narrative also reintroduces Lee Seol, a character Lokheun previously rescued, weaving a past thread back into the complex web of court intrigue.
