Episode 36 recap: "Liu Li secretly handed over the transmission talisman in Chen Cang.
Suna Jin was putting Pei Xingjian and Ai Chongyu in a difficult position. Ai Chongyu wouldn't let him get away with it easily. After all, they hadn't provided substantial evidence of their collusion with the rebels. If they were discovered, they would undoubtedly face death. They couldn't give them a chance to report to the court either. Ai Chongyu had already issued a military order, and they couldn't act recklessly.
To prevent Pei Xingjian and his group from contacting the court, Suna Jin even destroyed all the official seals, completely cutting off their way out. Liu Li comforted Pei Xingjian, assuring him that she would pray for him every day. Pei Xingjian kissed Liu Li on the forehead, and they embraced each other.
Suna Jin didn't expect that Pei Xingjian and Ai Chongyu had managed to gather carriages and provisions overnight. They must have been well-prepared this time. Yun Yi also reassured Ai Chongyu, saying that she and Liu Li would be together at home and might even celebrate the festival together when he returned. Liu Li walked Pei Xingjian to the door, having already prepared everything they needed.
Reluctantly bidding farewell, Pei Xingjian asked Liu Li to take care of herself before embarking on his journey. In the military camp, Suna Jin still believed that Pei Xingjian was merely putting up a facade and wouldn't be able to withstand the opposition. A Cheng handed the shoes Liu Li had made for Pei Xingjian and, unexpectedly, found two transmission talismans inside. Liu Li had already found Ai Chongyu in advance and informed him about the situation. Although their original transmission talismans had been burned by Suna Jin, Liu Li had made imprints in advance. She had also prepared several new talismans for Ai Chongyu's movements in the military camp.
A month quickly passed, and the situation was still unfavorable. Liu Li learned about the current circumstances. For now, Pei Xingjian could only temporarily avoid Suna Jin. However, if they didn't handle the situation promptly, Suna Jin would undoubtedly discover something was amiss."
Liu Li, accompanied by Jing Niang and Yun Yi, arrived outside the Ai family's gate. Initially, the soldiers from the Su family wanted to stop them, but in the face of Liu Li's firm attitude, one by one, they had to let go of their weapons and withdraw.
Meanwhile, in Tingzhou, Pei Xingjian had been riding his horse at full speed to catch up. Pei Xingjian mentioned that he was escorting fifty thousand units of provisions and proposed that if they agreed, he would hand over all the provisions. After careful consideration, Tudun and Sīliáng thought that Pei Xingjian's proposal made sense. Pei Xingjian also promised to make Su Haizheng withdraw his troops and ensure their safety. Under these circumstances, Tudun was not willing to continue the confrontation and agreed to Pei Xingjian's suggestion.
Liu Li paid a visit to Ai Chongyu's father, who was very grateful to Liu Li. If it weren't for her, the guards at the door might still be there. Wang Junmeng also came to inform everyone that the northern forces had retreated. Wang Junmeng mentioned Pei Xingjian's actions. At first, Ai Chongyu's father was worried that Su Nanjin would surely refuse. However, Wang Junmeng explained that the Su family had secretly passed on the information to the emperor in Chang'an. Furthermore, the people from the north would undoubtedly seek revenge on the Su family, so the situation had been resolved peacefully.
Soon, Su Nanjin was captured and he was terrified. Pei Xingjian and his group had returned to Xizhou. Su Nanjin was locked in a cage, and when the common people saw him, they felt that he was extremely disgraceful. Ai Chongyu's father personally welcomed his son and Pei Xingjian at the door. Ai Chongyu mentioned that Su Nanjin had deceived Zhang Minniang through a fake marriage. Zhang Minniang had already stated that she had no relationship with the Su family anymore.
Finally, Liu Li met Pei Xingjian, whom she had been longing for day and night, and Yun Yi saw Ai Chongyu. They could finally bring the wrongdoers to justice.
