Episode 18 recap: Liuyueqing and Han Zhen go to the border together.

Upon hearing Pei Xun talking to General Wang, Liuyueqing recalled that in the previous two lifetimes, General Wang had been under Pei Xun's command. Despite having bound Pei Xun during that time, news of his rebellion still leaked out. It's possible that General Wang had harbored disloyal intentions for a long time. Liuyueqing found it strange and wanted to investigate further.

Liuyueqing came to see Pei Xun and brought some food. Pei Xun explained that he was confined there and that nobody could see him without the Emperor's orders. He asked Liuyueqing to go back for now and wait for some time. Liuyueqing was about to leave when Han Zhen came to find Pei Xun. Han Zhen mentioned that the Emperor had sent General Wang to investigate the border's food supply.

Liuyueqing insisted on going alone if necessary. Reluctantly, Han Zhen agreed to let Liuyueqing accompany him.
