Episode 22 recap: The prince dreamt of a qilin.
The prince mentioned that he had a dream about a golden baby qilin, and officials believed it symbolized the prosperity of the prince's offspring. Dong Li came over to inform Luo Qing Lian that her secret might be hard to keep anymore, as rumors were spreading. The prince said he dreamt of a baby qilin.
Madam Rou thought that even though they needed to protect the pregnancy, they shouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Luo Qing Lian was already several months pregnant and starting to show a bit. If she went out, she would have to bind her belly with a cloth. The maid was worried that it might be too much for the baby, but Luo Qing Lian reassured her that it was only necessary to bind it when she had to go out. The baby could handle it, and he was the descendant of the He family, carrying their bloodline. He wouldn't be so fragile.
He Lian Xin originally wanted to come and find Luo Qing Lian but heard that she was sick. He Lian Xin came to see her and noticed that she wasn't feverish anymore. He thought it would be too hot for her with so many blankets, so he pulled them down, but Luo Qing Lian quickly covered herself again.
He Lian Xin didn't say much and left, which surprised Luo Qing Lian. Usually, He Lian Xin would stay for a long time, and she didn't know if he had seen anything. He Lian Xin mentioned that he saw fabric on the bed, and Luo Qing Lian must be making clothes for him but didn't want him to find out, so she did it secretly.
He Lian Xin believed that Luo Qing Lian didn't know how to do handicrafts and might even hurt herself. He had someone send over needles, thread, and ointments, which confused the maid. They didn't understand what He Lian Xin meant. The prince mentioned that he dreamt of a golden baby qilin, and officials believed it symbolized the prosperity of the prince's offspring.
The prince was also happy and sent someone to inquire about it. Dong Li came to inform Luo Qing Lian that her secret might be hard to keep anymore, as rumors were spreading. The prince said he dreamt of a baby qilin. Madam Rou thought that even though they needed to protect the pregnancy, they shouldn't miss such a good opportunity.
Luo Qing Lian still disagreed and didn't want to acknowledge this matter. The people sent by the prince visited the residences of the various young masters but found no one who was pregnant.
When this person was about to leave, Nan Ru Zhen suddenly started vomiting. The doctor came and examined her, confirming that Nan Ru Zhen was already two months pregnant.
Upon learning this, the prince was also very happy. The Qi family took the opportunity to propose marrying the princess, and the prince agreed, asking He Lian Xin to handle the matter. The fourth young master was very angry, feeling that Nan Ru Zhen was originally their person, but now she had been arranged for He Lian Xin.
The fourth madam reassured the fourth young master not to worry, as surface appearances might not necessarily be a good thing. A maid came to inform He Yuan Xue that his marriage was already settled. He Yuan Xue was shocked. He Yuan Xue came to find Lv Bei Yi and expressed that he knew Lv Bei Yi's feelings, but they were just feelings of love. He didn't know if anyone else knew his feelings.
After He Yuan Xue returned, the fourth young master came and said that Lv Bei Yi asked him to take the wine jug back. Lv Bei Yi also asked him to bring the Thunder Vine, saying that He Yuan Xue clearly liked Lv Bei Yi, but now he was going to marry someone else. Such a woman was not worthy of his affection.
He Yuan Xue knew that Lv Bei Yi wouldn't say such things, but he knew that they were true. He Yuan Xue had a painting sent to Lv Bei Yi with a bird flying out of a cage. He Yuan Xue bid farewell to the prince, but ended up taking poison and committing suicide.
Lv Bei Yi discovered that something was wrong with He Yuan Xue and hurried over, stopping the wedding procession. He explained that He Yuan Xue had been poisoned and needed immediate treatment. The dose of poison He Yuan Xue took was large, and its toxicity was strong, making it very difficult to save him.
He Lian Xin asked Lv Bei Yi how confident he was. Lv Bei Yi knew that He Lian Xin believed in him and said he would do his best. He Lian Xin came to see the prince, who stated that if He Yuan Xue had done such a thing, it meant he didn't consider him as a father, and he wouldn't go to see He Yuan Xue.
