Episode 16 recap: Ke Shi Zhao Learns Li Yu Hu's Identity

Xiao Qiao informed Ke Shi Zhao that there was a conflict between Qi Tian Lei and Li Yu Hu. Ke Shi Zhao then shared this good news with Yu Xiu Bo, seeing it as the perfect opportunity for Yu Xiu Bo. Ke Shi Zhao wanted to turn the situation between Yu Xiu Bo and Qi Tian Lei into a done deal. However, Yu Xiu Bo felt uneasy about it. Ke Shi Zhao continued to persuade Yu Xiu Bo, assuring him that he would do everything to ensure success. Xiao Qiao became jealous upon learning that Ke Shi Zhao had been helping Yu Xiu Bo with his plans. Ke Shi Zhao claimed that no one could compare to her charm and that only by creating chaos with Qi Tian Lei could they secure a place in the Qi household.

Soon, Yu Xiu Bo sent someone to invite Qi Tian Lei to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers. Upon hearing that Qi Tian Lei agreed, Yu Xiu Bo became ecstatic. Xiao Qiao secretly observed everything, anxiously waiting until she saw Yu Xiu Bo remove his clothes and Qi Tian Lei draw the curtains. Only then did she feel relieved. She signaled Ke Shi Zhao in the main hall, and Ke Shi Zhao quickly found an excuse to bring Lao Tai Jun to the garden. Their true intention was for everyone to witness the indecent side of Qi Tian Lei and Yu Xiu Bo.

Xiao Qiao deliberately mentioned seeing someone nearby, insinuating that someone had instigated the situation and that Qi Tian Lei must be inside. Lao Tai Jun was displeased with this revelation. Ke Shi Zhao, standing nearby, claimed to support the union of Yu Xiu Bo and Qi Tian Lei. However, exposing an indecent scene in broad daylight inside a pavilion was undoubtedly inappropriate. As Lao Tai Jun was getting angrier, unexpectedly, Qi Tian Lei appeared from a small bridge nearby. Xiao Qiao and Ke Shi Zhao had differing reactions, as Xiao Qiao had personally witnessed Qi Tian Lei entering the pavilion.

At that moment, Yu Xiu Bo and Li Yu Hu came out together. The so-called Qi Tian Lei was actually Li Yu Hu disguised as a man. Yu Xiu Bo finally understood that all of this was someone's deliberate scheme to frame him. He initially thought it was Qi Tian Lei who had come, but he was surprised to see Li Yu Hu. Li Yu Hu treated Yu Xiu Bo sincerely and advised him not to be manipulated by others. They took the opportunity to show the truth to everyone, and Lao Tai Jun was delighted. Finally, this matter was resolved.

Chang Ping Gong Zhu was thinking that she would marry Yuan Bu Qu when he returned from the border. Yuan Bu Qu, in order to buy time, said he would go back to his hometown to pay respects before returning to the capital. At first, Huang Hou didn't say anything, but she insisted that Chang Ping Gong Zhu accompany her. After all, Chang Ping Gong Zhu's heart belonged to Yuan Bu Qu. Chang Ping Gong Zhu spent her days in the palace trying to find ways to have fun, even with someone holding an apple in front of her. Huang Hou soon arrived, and Chang Ping Gong Zhu quickly put on a very obedient appearance. Her mother informed her that she could meet Yuan Bu Qu but only if she disguised herself as an ordinary commoner and behaved well. Chang Ping Gong Zhu was happy to hear that she would leave the palace.

Yu Xiu Bo also prepared to leave, and before leaving, she suddenly became enlightened. She knew she couldn't cling to Qi Tian Lei anymore, as she had better things to do. Before departing, she gave them a pair of golden qilins and warned them to be cautious of Ke Shi Zhao, as he was not an easy person to deal with. Qi Tian Lei believed that as long as he and Li Yu Hu were together, they could overcome any difficulties.

In the evening, Qi Tian Lei was watching the sleeping Li Yu Hu when a group of black-clad people suddenly rushed in. Although they were caught off guard, Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei had already prepared. They quickly fought back and managed to subdue the attackers. Li Yu Hu noticed someone trying to approach him directly and intercepted them. The person pleaded for mercy and took the opportunity to escape when Li Yu Hu was momentarily distracted.

Wang Hu Zi returned and informed Ke Shi Zhao about Li Yu Hu's exceptional martial arts skills. Now it would be difficult to deal with them. However, Wang Hu Zi's biggest revelation was that the current Du Bing Yan was an imposter, and her real name was Li Yu Hu. Ke Shi Zhao planned to summon the Du family's patriarch from Yangzhou to expose the impostor Li Yu Hu face to face.
