Episode 13 recap: Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei successfully escorted the blind elderly woman back.
Yuan Bu Qu was surprised that the emperor intended to bestow Princess Chang Ping's marriage upon him. In order to protect the safety of his soldiers, he had temporarily accepted the imperial decree. However, he needed to carefully consider how to inform Du Bing Yan about this matter. Sha Ping Wei was also saddened upon learning about it. Liu Ruo Qian and his wife noticed that their nephew was behaving strangely. Sha Ping Wei was the kind of person who couldn't keep silent and would feel suffocated.
Eventually, he couldn't hold it in and expressed his dissatisfaction, venting it to the outskirts. Zhong Da Niang also followed along and was surprised when she learned that Yuan Bu Qu was obligated to marry Princess Chang Ping. The situation became complicated, and Zhong Da Niang thought it would be a good idea to inform Liu Ruo Qian about it since he often came up with ideas. However, Sha Ping Wei remembered that Yuan Bu Qu had said not to tell anyone about this, and he didn't know what to do.
On the other hand, Ke Shi Zhao's subordinates couldn't find Qi Tian Lei and his companions. They were severely reprimanded by Ke Shi Zhao. Although Qi Tian Lei and the others had descended from the mountain, it was difficult for them to escape. When Qi Tian Lei was at a loss, Li Yu Hu suddenly came up with a plan. While their subordinates were searching for Qi Tian Lei and his companions, Li Yu Hu came up with the idea of using a decoy disguised as a nun. Everyone went after the decoy, allowing Li Yu Hu and the others to escape unnoticed. It was thanks to Li Yu Hu's clever thinking that they were able to leave successfully.
Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei finally returned to the secluded courtyard and knew they had to go back to the Qi family. Ke Shi Zhao received a letter informing him that the blind elderly woman had escaped. Angered by the news, he realized that Qi Tian Lei and his group must have taken her away. Qi Tian Lei entrusted the blind elderly woman to Ji Jing Tang, who waited until Qi Tian Lei and his group had been gone for a while before meeting up with the blind elderly woman and taking her away.
Yuan Bu Qu still doesn't know how to tell Du Bing Yan about his intention to marry Chang Ping Gong Zhu. After all, they are in love now, and he doesn't know if Du Bing Yan will accept this matter. Du Bing Yan noticed that Yuan Bu Qu had something on his mind during dinner, but Yuan Bu Qu didn't know how to start the conversation. So when Du Bing Yan asked him, he said it was about military matters that were bothering him. Du Bing Yan comforted him.
Actually, Yuan Bu Qu desires not for promotion or wealth, but to be able to protect the common people. Du Bing Yan comforted him not to think too much, while Du Bing Yan's wish was simply to be with Yuan Bu Qu for a long time.
Du Bing Yan realized that Yuan Bu Qu's concerns were not about the military, so he went to find Sha Ping Wei. Through a casual conversation, she learned that the emperor required Yuan Bu Qu to marry Chang Ping Gong Zhu. Du Bing Yan informed Yuan Bu Qu that he knew about the emperor's decree. Yuan Bu Qu made it clear that he would not let down Du Bing Yan. However, Du Bing Yan suggested that Yuan Bu Qu send him back to Yangzhou. Yuan Bu Qu was surprised, but Du Bing Yan had already figured out a solution. Yuan Bu Qu temporarily agreed to send Du Bing Yan back, as a short separation would ensure a longer future together. Although Yuan Bu Qu was reluctant to part with his wife, he had no choice but to comply.
Lao Tai Jun was delighted to see Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu return, and she even cooked a special dish to welcome them back. Ke Shi Zhao deliberately asked Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu where they had been. Li Yu Hu was well-prepared and said they had only been praying in another temple. Qi Tian Lei deliberately mentioned that he had met a skilled doctor this time, and with his help, his illness had improved significantly. Ke Shi Zhao suddenly became excited upon hearing this. When Lao Tai Jun learned about the skilled doctor, she promptly expressed her gratitude and expressed her desire to bring the doctor to her residence.
Wang Hu Zi asked the servants where Qi Tian Lei and the others had been, but they said they had stayed in their rooms the whole time and never went out. Later, Wang Hu Zi intentionally sent someone to pretend to buy medicine, and he indeed saw Ji Jing Tang, whom he had beaten up. He quickly returned to Jiangxi and informed Ke Shi Zhao about the incident. Ke Shi Zhao understood what had happened. Ke Shi Zhao also gave Wang Hu Zi some poison and instructed him to use it on the nun at the opportune moment.
Ji Jing Tang was about to leave with Lao Tai Jun when a beggar child approached and grabbed her hand, begging for some copper coins. Xiao Xi had been waiting outside, hoping to see Lao Tai Jun and Ji Jing Tang together. Qi Tian Lei had already made arrangements, and at that moment, with the support of Xiao Xi, the blind Lao Tai Jun also arrived. Xiao Xi deliberately poured a cup of tea for the blind Lao Tai Jun, who then recounted past events and mentioned that her son had been poisoned by a wicked person and died a tragic death.
