Episode 20 recap: Liu Li deceived Princess Dachang in Hedong Mansion.
Liu Li deceived Princess Dachang in Hedong Mansion.Princess Dachang had a sense that something was amiss, so she sent people to prepare extra manpower recently, just in case. The wife and child of Kai Chongyu were taken out of Hedong Mansion. While on the carriage, she suddenly received an item thrown in, and to her surprise, it was her husband's and her own token.
When her child was very young, she left Xizhou with the child. At that time, Kai Chongyu's father said that the family emblem would be given to her sooner or later. Only a note was left behind, arranging a meeting. After contemplating for a while, Murong decided to go. However, instead of meeting her father-in-law, she encountered Liu Li. She didn't expect Liu Li to be present here, as many people believed that Liu Li had long passed away. Murong knew that she was being used by Princess Dachang. It can be said that Princess Dachang is a ruthless and cunning person. However, now, for the safety of the Kai family, she could only compromise. Liu Li stated that she didn't need Murong to do anything, just not to stand on Princess Dachang's side.
Liu Li also suggested that it would be best for her to be with Empress Wu. However, unexpectedly, Princess Dachang had already arrived with a group of people and horses at this moment. They discovered that Murong had quietly left Hedong Mansion, so they had been following her and eventually found a clue. The group of people had already surrounded Liu Li and the two of them. However, Liu Li wasn't afraid of her.
Princess Dachang also stated that Liu Li's arrival was to ruin her plans. Liu Li also told Murong that there was no need for explanations, as she believed that Murong wouldn't betray her. Princess Dachang said that if she killed her here, no one would know. Then the guards rushed over, prepared to kill Liu Li, but Murong threatened them with her own life.
Murong pleaded with Princess Dachang to spare Liu Li, otherwise, her husband, Kai Chongyu, would undoubtedly come to kill them. As a result, Princess Dachang used the child as a threat, and Murong began to hesitate. Liu Li knew that Murong was in a difficult situation and didn't know who could come to rescue her at the moment. Liu Li still had two letters written by the Kai family. If she handed them over to the Emperor, Princess Dachang wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
Princess Dachang demanded that Liu Li bring the letters to her mansion tomorrow if she wanted to ensure the survival of Murong and her child.
Kai Chongyu is now very worried about Liu Li being alone in Chang'an, especially since she also needs to rescue his wife and children. Kai Chongyu is actually very grateful for everything the couple has done for his family.
Princess Dachang never expected that the Kai family would help her. In fact, Liu Li had already known that Princess Dachang would send someone to track Murong, so she was prepared in advance. Liu Li also knew that Princess Dachang wouldn't dare to harm Murong and her child. After returning, Princess Dachang sensed that something was wrong. She realized that Liu Li didn't actually have any letters in her possession. Later, Liu Li had her daughter-in-law hide Murong and her child, using them as a threat to force the Kai family to kill Pei Xing Jian.
Liu Li went to meet Princess Dachang and learned from her that Murong and her child had already left Hedong Mansion. In that case, Liu Li also planned to leave. However, she was intercepted by the guards. Liu Li used the law and regulations to threaten them, and even took out the letters she had. Just then, a servant came to report that the emperor wanted to see Liu Li. Naturally, Princess Dachang dared not harm Liu Li in the slightest.
Although the letters had already been burned by the Kai family, in fact, they were imitations made by Pei Xing Jian. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice the difference. Princess Dachang felt extremely frustrated but had no choice but to let Liu Li go. In reality, the emperor didn't actually want to see Liu Li. It was just a ploy by the eunuch by the emperor's side to deceive Princess Dachang.
This time, Princess Dachang was truly frightened. Afterwards, Liu Li successfully took Murong and her child out of Chang'an, fulfilling her promise to come to Chang'an. Princess Dachang later learned that she had been deceived, and she was extremely angry. Princess Dachang was so furious that she coughed up blood.
