The ending of "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full": Shen Xingyi died to protect the Wu family.

Zhao Baishi wanted to be loyal to the country and protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor; while Shen Xingyi wanted to overthrow the Qing court and had to assassinate him. The two of them each had their own positions and principles, and Zhou Ying, who was tied to the stool, begged them to let each other go. In order for Shen Xingyi to survive, she knelt down and begged Zhao Baishi. Zhou Ying, who had never asked for help in her life, opened her mouth this time. Zhao Baishi had no choice but to agree. He just had to find a way to get rid of the guards and let Shen Xingyi go.

At this time, Wu Ze put on a black mask and wanted to assassinate the Queen Mother, but his whereabouts were exposed. He ran around and accidentally ran into the other courtyard where Zhou Ying was. Zhao Baishi, who came out to check after hearing the news, quickly recognized Wu Ze's true identity. If caught, the Queen Mother's visit to the Wu family will be considered part of the conspiracy, which will not only implicate Zhou Ying, but also kill more people.

Zhao Baishi forced himself to calm down, stopped the guards for the time being, and went to Zhou Ying's room to handle the matter of Shen Xingyi and Wu Ze. Wu Ze was still stubborn, while Zhou Ying was about to lose her mind due to the predicament in front of her. The four of them were in a stalemate, and Shen Xingyi decided to go out on his own to take Wu Ze's place. In Zhou Ying's tearful eyes, Shen Xingyi resolutely put on the black scarf and walked out. He fought hard, but in the end he was outnumbered and died at the hands of officers and soldiers. Finally, the Queen Mother and the Emperor left the East Courtyard, and the Wu family was finally safe.
