Episode 34 recap: Sunan Jin intentionally trapped the city of Xizhou.
Yun Yi was still mentioning how Zhang Min Niang came over today and kept praising herself for looking so much like Liuli. Yun Yi even asked Ai Chongyu if she had said something wrong, and Ai Chongyu replied that he might have misunderstood. Yun Yi then fed Ai Chongyu some food, and he looked at her with a doting expression. The next day, Yun Yi asked Liuli to draw a Kitchen God for her since the Kitchen God resembled Ai Chongyu. Liuli couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Su Haizheng received an imperial edict, learning that there was a current demand to cut military spending and not engage in large-scale warfare. This meant that the incident of Pei Xingjian killing six hundred elite soldiers was left unresolved. Su Haizheng naturally felt very aggrieved and decided to stir up trouble, making Pei Xingjian too occupied to take action.
Jingniang, Liuli, and their group were making pastries when Yun Yi kept staring at the door, hoping to see Ai Chongyu as soon as possible. However, at that moment, soldiers sent by Su Haizheng arrived. They had orders to arrest the rebels, and Sunan Jin also came along. Pei Xingjian and Ai Chongyu opened the door, and Sunan Jin stated that she wanted to take both of them back for questioning. Ai Chongyu naturally refused to let them do as they pleased in this place. Liuli and her group learned about the situation, realizing that the entire Protectorate Office was completely surrounded.
Liuli intended to go and take a look. The soldiers from both sides were already standing in opposition, in a deadlock. Just then, Wang Junmeng arrived supporting Ai Chongyu's father. Sunan Jin persisted, but Liuli stepped forward. However, Sunan Jin's subordinates tried to drive Liuli away. Liuli questioned where the rebels were, but the other side claimed it was classified information.
Wang Junmeng was still worried about his father-in-law's health. After all, his father-in-law's condition had deteriorated since his last illness. At Wang Mengjie's insistence, he left. Liuli also mentioned to Canjun whether he had seen the Khan six years ago, actually wanting to find out if Su Haizheng had gone insane and killed the Khan.
Pei Xingjian didn't care at all about what was happening outside the door. However, Ai Chongyu was somewhat worried. Pei Xingjian was busy playing chess. Liuli questioned Canjun about whether Su Haizheng intended to rebel. In a fit of anger, Canjun drew his sword. Liuli wanted to fight fire with fire, even if it meant risking her life. The common people also felt that Liuli's words made sense, leaving the other side speechless.
Initially, the other side wanted to take action against Liuli, but upon the reminder from their subordinate, they realized that Liuli had once served by the Empress's side and couldn't be offended. So they could only leave dejectedly. Canjun quickly informed Sunan Jin about the situation. Liuli had already guessed about the bandit's matter. If it was reported to the Empress, it would definitely be detrimental to them. Moreover, the area outside the office was filled with Pei Xingjian's people. If a real confrontation were to happen, it was unclear who would be right or wrong.
After returning, Liuli had already deduced that Su Haizheng had killed the Khan and hoped that Pei Xingjian's group would collude with him. Yun Yi became very worried upon learning this. Liuli brought Yun Yi and Jingniang to Su's residence. Liuli intentionally sent Zhang Min Niang to inquire about when her husband and Ai Chongyu would return. However, Zhang Min Niang acted very arrogantly. Yun Yi became very angry and wanted to rush over and hit Zhang Min Niang, but Liuli stopped her.
Liuli directly slapped Zhang Min Niang across the face and asked if she had realized her mistake. Zhang Min Niang claimed that she would repay Liuli doubly in the future, but Liuli wasn't afraid at all. Zhang Min Niang became somewhat angry and slumped onto a chair.
Pei Xingjian and Ai Chongyu came out of the room and asked Su Nanjin what she wanted to eat for lunch. However, Su Nanjin replied that she had already eaten.
