Episode 28 recap: Bei Rong Wang came to Donglin with his men.
Zhao Guang Ye is now imprisoned by Meng Ji. Meng Ji came to inform Zhao Guang Ye that Zhao Chen Yang has already died. Meng Ji stated that Donglin will still be Donglin, but not under Zhao Guang Ye's control. Zhao Guang Ye mentioned his previous dealings with Tai Chu, but Tai Chu remained unmoved, stating that it was necessary for him to act this way in order to better protect He Lan Xin Yue. In reality, Tai Chu's actions were all a show for Meng Ji. When leaving, Tai Chu secretly released Zhao Guang Ye.
Princess Qiu Yi is currently under house arrest here. Princess Xiao came to visit Qiu Yi and Qiu Yi asked her to deliver a letter to Prince Nan Chu. Qiu Yi instructed Prince Nan Chu to cooperate with Zhao Guang Ye's actions, emphasizing that the situation was not as simple as it seemed. Although she was unaware of Zhao Guang Ye's plans, she was willing to cooperate and ensure that the matter was handled properly.
He Lan Xin Yue is very angry and asks Shi An if he knows what Meng Ji is up to. Shi An confirms that he knows Meng Ji is planning a rebellion. He Lan Xin Yue questions why Shi An didn't stop Meng Ji, to which Shi An explains that Meng Ji is extremely formidable and is likely to succeed. Furthermore, since the king has killed Meng Ji's people, it is only natural for Meng Ji to seek revenge.
Tai Chu arrives, and He Lan Xin Yue questions his motives and why he took such actions. Tai Chu explains that it was necessary in order to better protect He Lan Xin Yue. Meng Ji states that Tai Chu can now see that He Lan Xin Yue is very safe and can rest assured.
Bei Rong Wang and his group discuss the situation and believe that Meng Yi Lang alone cannot defend the border. They propose sending troops to eliminate Meng Yi Lang and his forces. General Zheng expresses concern for Bei Rong Wang's safety and wishes to accompany him.
Shang Guan Zui suggests that he can also participate in the border battle. Bei Rong Wang points out that Shang Guan Zui has no experience leading troops into battle, and he is not confident. Bei Rong Wang assures him that he has guards by his side for protection and that General Ren can handle the border battle.
After Shang Guan Zui left, Bei Rong Wang felt that Shang Guan Zui was very scheming. After resolving the current situation, Shang Guan Zui must not be allowed to stay. Bei Rong Wang mentioned that he is getting older and sees General Zheng as the scorching sun in the sky. He trusts only General Zheng. General Zheng quickly reassured him that he would not let Bei Rong Wang down. Bei Rong Wang gathered all the kings of the various countries. Prince Nan Chu mentioned that his sister had been imprisoned by Zhao Guang Ye, and he wanted to go see what the situation was.
The other kings spoke well but were unwilling to take the lead. Prince Nan Chu stated that regardless of their actions, he would definitely go and see. He had no interest in Donglin; he only wanted to rescue his sister. Prince Nan Chu returned and mentioned that there were many soldiers guarding outside his sister's sleeping chamber, and he was unable to enter. However, he heard that his sister had been on a hunger strike for many days.
Prince Nan Chu expressed his intention to gather troops and rescue his sister. Bei Rong Wang said that they would enter the city together tomorrow and brought tea for everyone to drink. Shang Guan Zui secretly poured out the tea. General Zheng arrived at the border and unexpectedly saw Zhao Chen Yang there, realizing that Zhao Chen Yang was not dead and he had been deceived.
Bei Rong Wang brought them over and described Zhao Guang Ye as a monster. Bei Rong Wang wanted to lure Meng Ji out, but Meng Ji did not appear at all. Tai Chu said that they wanted to see the sandpiper and clam fight, while they, as fishermen, would benefit. However, they didn't know who the sandpiper and clam were.
The kings of the various countries realized that something was wrong with their bodies.
