Episode 17 recap: The Shocking Secret Discovered in the Secret Room.
Su Moyi didn't return home for a whole night, which made Lin Wanqing particularly worried. She stayed by the door, waiting for Su Moyi's safe return. Early the next morning, Su Moyi returned from the mine, and Lin Wanqing smiled as she went to greet him. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, as if there was no one else around. Su Moyi told Lin Wanqing about the situation at the mine. He couldn't understand why the reserves of minerals and the quantity of weapons seemed insufficient to meet the conditions for rebellion, leaving him puzzled.
Lin Wanqing believed that perhaps Prince Liang wasn't fully prepared for the rebellion yet, so she told Su Moyi about the suspicious things she had discovered. Lin Wanqing accidentally noticed something suspicious about Lan'er. Lan'er seemed nervous about a certain room, so Lin Wanqing took Su Moyi to investigate. When Su Moyi and Lin Wanqing went to check the room, they found Lan'er guarding outside the door. They had to create a diversion and lure the guard away.
When there was no one at the door, Su Moyi took Lin Wanqing into the room but didn't find anything. However, Lin Wanqing accidentally pressed the switch for the secret chamber in the room, and it was then that Su Moyi discovered the hidden, sinister intentions of Prince Liang. Su Moyi saw a map of Shengdu and realized that the secret chamber contained nothing but gunpowder. He had to quickly extinguish the fire they were holding, to prevent any accidental explosion.
After understanding Prince Liang's intentions, Su Moyi immediately took Lin Wanqing and left. He later explained everything to Lin Wanqing, and Lan'er didn't suspect anything because she didn't notice anyone approaching the room. Prince Liang received a message from Zhang Ren, informing him that Zhou Yipu was fine, but he still had doubts and believed that there must be some other problem.
One of Prince Liang's subordinates accidentally revealed the information about Wei Wen secretly meeting a woman in the outskirts. It was then that Prince Liang realized the problem. He knew Wei Wen very well and was certain that Wei Wen wouldn't secretly meet a woman, so he understood that the outskirts location was suspicious. Prince Liang sent people to the outskirts to rescue Zhou Yipu and the others who were detained there, only to discover that it was Zhou Yipu who was heading to Hongzhou. He was furious and wanted to kill Zhou Yipu right away.
Prince Liang couldn't let Wei Wen know that their plan had been exposed, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to go to Hongzhou and find a way to kill Su Moyi. Su Moyi, aware of Prince Liang's intentions, was also prepared and planned to take everyone back to Shengdu. Zhang Ren didn't suspect Su Moyi, fearing that once Su Moyi returned to Shengdu, he would report everything to Prince Liang. So, he asked Lan'er to prepare some things that Lin Wanqing liked, in order to please Su Moyi.
