Episode 26 recap: Pei Xing Jian finally returned safely.
Su Nanjin didn't expect to be rendered speechless by Luli's few words. In the end, Su Nanjin had no choice but to leave reluctantly. The situation upon your arrival was still dangerous, so Han Si quickly administered treatment by needle therapy. However, Mi Da Lang couldn't be saved in the end. Only then did Su Nanjin feel at ease enough to leave.
Wang Wendu, driven by his own selfish motives, slaughtered numerous business owners and seized their wealth. He also confiscated the grain and forage in Pei Xing Jian's hands. Furthermore, he planned to eliminate Pei Xing Jian by utilizing the power of the Yijia family. Soon, the common people became aware of this matter. Pei Xing Jian, who had dedicated himself to the well-being of the people, ended up being detained. Luli was deeply concerned, but they could only wait for an imperial decree from Empress Wu. They hoped to delay until that point.
At this time, San Niang was discussing the matter with Luli. Seeing that the sacred duty was about to be delivered, Luli still hoped to protect Pei Xing Jian. Luli was thinking about Pei Xing Jian at night and decided to write a letter in his own blood, hoping to expose their crimes publicly. The maidservants were deeply saddened when they saw Luli resorting to such measures.
Soon, the common people gathered outside Pei Xing Jian's house. Han Si took the lead, hoping to assist Luli. Luli took out the petition letter that had already been written and stated that if any of the common people wanted to help, they could also write their names down. The common people readily agreed. Luli reminded them not to reveal the relationship of interests, and if they were worried about endangering their families, they could choose not to sign. After all, their resistance might pose a threat to their loved ones. Unexpectedly, Han Si was the first to step forward and used his own blood to write his name. Soon, other common people followed suit, all hoping for Pei Xing Jian's return.
Upon learning about this, Su Nanjin became very angry and sought help from Yai Chongyu. However, Yai Chongyu pretended to know nothing and ignored Su Nanjin completely. Soon, a joint blood-stained letter was sent to Yai Chongyu's home. Yai's father even stated that if Su Nanjin didn't release Pei Xing Jian, she would take the blood-stained letter to Chang'an, which could make the situation even more dangerous.
Yai Chongyu also mentioned that Luli had a close relationship with Empress Wu. If Empress Wu learned about this matter, she would be furious, and they would have no peaceful days ahead.
After this incident, Luli was extremely grateful to the common people and invited them to his house for a meal. The atmosphere at home was lively, especially because Pei Xing Jian was finally able to return because of this event.
In the evening, Luli and Pei Xing Jian finally had time to be together and get closer. Pei Xing Jian was actually very worried about Luli's safety and felt that Luli shouldn't have taken the risk to save him. Luli said that he didn't care about any reputation and was willing to do anything to save Pei Xing Jian. Pei Xing Jian embraced Luli in response.
In fact, Mi Da Lang didn't die. He pretended to deceive Su Nanjin, and it was thanks to Han Si's help that Su Nanjin didn't notice the flaw. Yun Yi had been bored in her room all these days because Luli was always by Pei Xing Jian's side after seeing his return.
When Yun Yi learned that Yai Chongyu had come to the mansion, she hurriedly ran over. Originally, Yun Yi had a liking for Yai Chongyu. She had heard from Zhang Min Niang that Yai Chongyu didn't like women, so she quickly caught up, hoping to hear those words from Yai Chongyu himself. Yai Chongyu deliberately pretended that it was indeed the case, but Luli unexpectedly told Yun Yi that Yai Chongyu liked women. Yun Yi was very happy because now she could openly like Yai Chongyu.
Yun Yi went to pay respects to the Buddha, but as soon as she turned around, she encountered Zhang Min Niang. Zhang Min Niang had been avoiding Yun Yi all this time. Yun Yi only wanted to make sure that Zhang Min Niang didn't misunderstand Yai Chongyu, but Zhang Min Niang deliberately pretended that she had been pushed by Yun Yi, just to frame Yun Yi.
After Yun Yi returned, she complained to Luli about this matter, and Luli naturally believed Yun Yi. Zhang Min Niang pretended to be weak and delicate, and even deliberately had Yai Chongyu come to visit her. Yai Chongyu asked why Yun Yi pushed her, and the maidservant made up stories. Yun Yi and Luli happened to overhear their conversation, and Yai Chongyu stated that he believed what Yun Yi had said, which made Zhang Min Niang even angrier.
