Episode 31 recap: Qiu Qingzhi woke up.

After Lai Zhongshu was mistakenly killed by his subordinates and fell to the ground, spitting blood uncontrollably, Li Bing, who witnessed the scene, didn't hesitate at all. Without a moment of hesitation, he ran out of the dungeon. Unexpectedly, someone behind him chased after him. Even General Qiu, who had just awakened, also grabbed a long arrow and shot it without hesitation. When he saw the person lying on the ground, he realized it was his acquaintance, Li Bing. Then he deliberately shot the arrow off target and ran straight to the scene to investigate, only to find that there was no one on the ground.

After that, Li Bing fell unconscious on the ground alone. Several officials from the Dali Temple ran over to check the situation when they saw him, unable to believe that the person lying there was their Shaoqing (a government position). Later, they took him to a safe place and continued to discuss this strange situation. Cui Bei, sitting next to them, also mentioned the time when Shaoqing disappeared after his family was killed. It was during that time that he turned into a cat. Thinking about all these strange things, everyone began to feel incredulous. Sun Bao also learned at this time that Shaoqing deliberately drove everyone away, fearing that they would all be in danger, and faced these difficulties alone. At this point, no one knew what to do and planned to wait for the person next to them to wake up before making further plans.

At this moment, Li Bing, who was beside them, fell into a deep coma. In his mind, he recalled scenes from his childhood with General Qiu. At that time, after seeing off his father, she obediently ran into the room to study. After a while, General Qiu came running in and directly welcomed her into the room. After handing over something, General Qiu left without hesitation, leaving her to prepare for her studies.

Unexpectedly, after that, when General Qiu was selling lingzhi mushrooms outside, he was suddenly bullied by someone. Li Bing happened to be wandering outside and, without hesitation, stepped forward to defend the victim. She successfully tricked the bad person out of their money and even gave the remaining money to an ordinary citizen. The person standing nearby was very grateful.

Two good friends who became acquainted often played together. However, one day when Li Bing returned home, he was seen by his family, who told him not to continue playing with the escaped slave. Li Bing, judging the situation solely based on the person's background, became angry and argued with the others who tried to intervene. He even planned to help the person escape slavery and later searched for something in the library.

Afterwards, Qiu Qingzhi got into trouble for accidentally injuring someone and was captured by the authorities. Upon learning of the situation, Li Bing immediately took his father's seal and rushed to rescue him. When they returned, Li Bing voluntarily knelt down, prepared to accept punishment. From then on, the two continued to live in the mansion and enjoyed comfortable days together.

Unexpectedly, one day General Qiu Qingzhi saw a conscription notice posted on the wall and felt an itch in his heart. Seeing his reaction, Li Bing didn't hesitate and grabbed the notice, running back home. He even wanted the other person to go to the battlefield and shine, despite feeling deeply unsettled about sending him away. After that, while looking at the knife in his hand, Li Bing suddenly dreamed of assassinating General Qiu.

In the real world, Li Bing woke up from the nightmare and realized that everyone around him knew his true identity. He decided not to hide it anymore, and upon hearing this, the people around him planned to stand by his side and work together. In the meantime, General Qiu Qingzhi returned to the prison cell and encountered Lord Shangguan, who revealed some information about his identity after exchanging a few words.
