Episode 24 recap: Got into the wrong carriage, but married the right groom
Liu Ruo Qian told Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei that their senior brother had encountered the epidemic. He initially thought that curing the common people would be enough, but unfortunately, he also got infected. When he realized that he wouldn't survive, he didn't want to elope with his beloved woman because he didn't want to make her sad. Before leaving, he only gave half a flower to Liu Ruo Qian. It was a twist of fate that the two lovers couldn't meet, and they were separated by life and death.
Yuan Bu Qu received a letter in the dungeon. It turned out that Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei had told them about Empress Huang's inner struggles, hoping to convince her to change her mind. The next day, Princess Chang Ping wanted to invite her mother out of the palace. At first, Empress Huang was reluctant to go incognito, but she couldn't resist her daughter's repeated pleas and eventually agreed. They arrived at the place where Empress Huang and her beloved had made a promise, a place filled with their most beautiful memories. It was at this moment that Empress Huang saw that her beloved had actually died in the year they had agreed upon. She couldn't accept the truth. Just as she was about to leave the place, Li Yu Hu appeared and handed Empress Huang half a golden lotus, revealing the truth of what had happened years ago. Naturally, Empress Huang found it hard to believe everything. Qi Tian Lei came forward and explained that her beloved was terminally ill back then, and in order to prevent Empress Huang from getting hurt, they had concealed the truth from her.
After learning the truth, Empress Huang completely broke down. She had misunderstood her beloved all along, thinking he was heartless and unfaithful, unaware of all the things he had done for her. Yet, she couldn't forget the beautiful moments between them. Princess Chang Ping felt sad seeing her mother in such a state and wanted to console her, but she was stopped by her subordinates. The matter had passed, and Empress Huang was willing to let go.
Li Yu Hu and the others were still waiting at the entrance of the prison when the eunuch arrived and released Yuan Bu Qu and Du Bing Yan on the spot. They were allowed to have a wedding ceremony again. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw Yuan Bu Qu and Du Bing Yan holding hands and coming out of the prison. Du Bing Yan immediately hugged Li Yu Hu. Despite the bumpy journey since getting on the wrong bridal sedan, they inadvertently found their perfect matches, and Liu Ruo Qian suddenly decided to hold another wedding ceremony for them. Naturally, Du Bing Yan and Li Yu Hu were thrilled.
The two sisters returned to the temple once again, where their misfortune had begun. However, they ended up marrying their desired grooms. The Fairy Temple turned out to be quite effective, as everyone gathered before the goddess to witness the grand ceremony. Chang Ping Gong Zhu was also happily together with Sha Ping Wei. However, just at that moment, it started raining heavily, reminiscent of the scene when the two brides got on the wrong bridal sedan. If it hadn't rained that day, the two brides wouldn't have gotten on the wrong sedan and wouldn't have married their desired grooms. Li Yu Hu held Du Bing Yan's hand and entered the temple, where they expressed their gratitude to the goddess for allowing them to make that mistake. They were now very happy together.
Du Bing Yan was thrilled to learn that Li Yu Hu was already pregnant. Unexpectedly, Du Bing Yan also felt a bit nauseous, as both of them were pregnant at the same time. It was a fortunate coincidence that they could meet their beloved partners. Chang Ping Gong Zhu discovered that all her encounters with Sha Ping Wei had been intentional, but Sha Ping Wei remained unaware of everything.
Soon, Qi Tian Lei and Yuan Bu Qu accompanied the two brides. Surprisingly, the two brides were dressed exactly the same. Xiao Xi remarked that if one wanted to win over their beloved, they had to undergo trials. Last time, they got on the wrong bridal sedan, but this time they had to choose their beloved themselves. This posed a challenge for the two grooms. It was a test of their discernment. After wandering among the brides for a while, they still couldn't tell them apart. Suddenly, Qi Tian Lei came up with an idea. He deliberately threw a big red flower from his hand, which Li Yu Hu, skilled in martial arts, caught. The remaining bride turned out to be the gentle and elegant Du Bing Yan. In fact, by going through the ritual of the two couples paying respects to heaven and earth, they had officially become husband and wife.
It seems like they found the grave of their senior martial brother here, and it was only after that Huang Hou spared Yuan Bu Qu. The truth is, regardless of whether they found the grave of their senior martial brother or not, Huang Hou would not have killed Yuan Bu Qu or Du Bing Yan. The poisoned wine was also fake, and Huang Hou would have likely released them after a few days of confinement at home. However, Li Yu Hu and the others were unaware of this and coincidentally found their senior martial brother while trying to save Yuan Bu Qu.
The four main characters are great. The male lead is handsome, and the female lead is graceful and beautiful. I especially like the couple Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei. They have excellent acting skills.
Bing Yan is elegant, and Yuan Bu Qu is a mighty general. It's a fantastic TV drama.
