Episode 12 recap: Yuan Bu Qu is forced to marry Princess Pingchang.
Ke Shi Zhao's spy has always wanted to rush in and see if Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu are in the room, but they are always stopped by Xiao Xi, which is very frustrating for the spy. Wang Hu Zi also informed Ke Shi Zhao, and coincidentally, Ke Shi Zhao received a carrier pigeon message informing him that a young couple was investigating the whereabouts of the blind beggar woman, so he immediately guessed that it must be Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei.
At this time, Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu were preparing to go to the residence of the blind old lady, unaware that an assassin had long been following them on behalf of Ke Shi Zhao. After Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei arrived at their destination, they began searching for the old lady's figure, but to their surprise, many people claimed not to know her. Suddenly, Qi Tian Lei thought that perhaps the old lady had changed her identity and was no longer a beggar. They inquired with the nuns at the nunnery and learned that the old lady was currently having a meal. They then approached her under the pretext of requesting a vegetarian meal and had a meal together. They learned from the abbess that the blind old lady was the one she had rescued.
Qi Tian Lei took the opportunity to mention Ji Jing Tang's name, which frightened the blind old lady and made her want to leave quickly. Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu stopped her and revealed their identities. They also mentioned that the person who killed the beggar old lady's son was still acting arrogantly, and they hoped that the blind old lady could identify the culprit this time. However, the blind old lady claimed that they had mistaken the person. Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu were naturally unwilling to give up.
They also knew that the blind old lady might still have reservations about them, considering that Ke Shi Zhao was the one who killed her son. Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu went to the back mountain and found the blind old lady. The blind old lady mentioned the sinful events of the past and revealed that Ke Shi Zhao's people were already lying in ambush. They wanted to take the opportunity to kill the blind old lady, as she was the one who knew the truth about what happened years ago.
Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei naturally wouldn't let the blind old lady be harmed in the slightest. They fought against the masked attackers together and quickly defeated them. Qi Tian Lei accidentally got injured, but he didn't tell Li Yu Hu about it. However, in the evening, when Qi Tian Lei quietly changed his bandages, Li Yu Hu caught sight of it. Seeing Qi Tian Lei injured, Li Yu Hu felt heartbroken and used her own handkerchief to help him dress the wound. Tears streamed down Li Yu Hu's face uncontrollably. She was deeply concerned for Qi Tian Lei. Coincidentally, the blind old lady overheard their conversation and knew that Qi Tian Lei had gotten hurt while saving her. Upon Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei's pleading, she agreed to expose Ke Shi Zhao's crimes.
The blind old lady also spoke about Ke Shi Zhao's wrongdoing. Qi Tian Lei revealed that his own brother had been killed by Ke Shi Zhao. They found it very difficult to leave the mountain since all the paths were blocked. Li Yu Hu noticed a cart nearby with incense sticks and suddenly came up with an idea. The next day, they disguised themselves and prepared to use the excuse of delivering incense to descend the mountain. Naturally, they managed to evade the guards successfully. Soon, Ke Shi Zhao's subordinates learned that the three of them were no longer in the temple. It seemed highly likely that they had already left the mountain. The subordinates immediately relayed the information back to Ke Shi Zhao.
At this time, Liu Ruo Qian and his wife arrived outside the military camp and happened to hear the soldiers celebrating their victory. When Liu Ruo Qian spotted Sha Ping Wei, he called out to him, and they went to meet Yuan Bu Qu together. Liu Ruo Qian introduced his wife to Yuan Bu Qu, and it was her first meeting with him. Yuan Bu Qu and Du Bing Yan even knelt down to pay respects to Liu Ruo Qian's wife. Du Bing Yan inquired about Li Yu Hu's well-being, and Liu Ruo Qian mentioned that Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei were still affectionate but that there were still evildoers causing trouble, so they had much to do. In the evening, Du Bing Yan and Liu Ruo Qian's group began treating the wounded.
The subordinates were introducing potential suitors to Princess Ping Chang, but she didn't find any of the men in the portraits appealing. Empress Huang Hou came to know of this and arrived. Princess Ping Chang declared that she didn't want to marry anyone and insisted that the person she marries must meet her standards. Just then, an official reported to Yuan Bu Qu that he had won four battles. Empress Huang Hou also thought highly of Yuan Bu Qu's prowess.
The Emperor bestowed an official position on Yuan Bu Qu, but it came with the condition of marrying Princess Ping Chang. Yuan Bu Qu was reluctant to accept the imperial edict, but the official tried to persuade him. Ultimately, the official informed Yuan Bu Qu that refusing the decree might endanger the soldiers. In the end, Yuan Bu Qu accepted the imperial edict.
