Episode 38 recap: Liu Cheng Feng saved Cui Lin before she died.
Li Yi led soldiers to search the streets for Cui Lin's whereabouts, but without any results. Liu Cheng Feng captured Cui Lin and brought her next to him. Under the pressure from the powerful people, he was forced to feed Cui Lin poison. Li Yi looked at Cui Lin lying on the bed. The imperial physician told him that he could no longer feel the pulse of Princess Consort Cui Lin. Li Yi couldn't believe what he was seeing and stood still in disbelief.
Cui Lin and Tao Zi were taken away at Feng Ying Tower. Liu Cheng Feng looked at a bloodied Tao Zi and ordered Wu Luo's men to throw Tao Zi into the mass grave. Liu Cheng Feng asked Wu Luo if he brought the medicine. Wu Luo handed the medicine to Liu Cheng Feng, who immediately sensed that something was wrong with it.
In anger, Liu Cheng Feng threw the medicine onto the ground, realizing that the plan had been exposed. Wu Luo told Liu Cheng Feng that since he didn't want to proceed with the plan, they would proceed on his behalf. Liu Cheng Feng asked why, and Wu Luo told him it was because he was too greedy.
Liu Cheng Feng explained to Wu Luo why Ashu didn't come with him. It was because Ashu already knew about Wu Luo's collusion with Minister Gu, and Liu Cheng Feng had already arranged for Ashu to do something else. Wu Luo became anxious and demanded Liu Cheng Feng tell him where Ashu was.
Liu Cheng Feng told him that he couldn't reveal that information. In response, Wu Luo tied up Liu Cheng Feng and tortured him. Liu Cheng Feng insisted that even if he were killed, he wouldn't reveal the information. He had already made an agreement with Ashu that if they couldn't find him within twelve hours, Ashu would reveal the evidence of Wu Luo's collusion with Minister Gu to Li Yi.
Li Yi and Chang Er were frantically searching for Cui Lin and Tao Zi, but to no avail. The Emperor didn't understand why Li Yi had closed the city gates and prevented anyone from entering or leaving. He called Minister Gu and asked if Li Yi was planning a rebellion. Minister Gu advised him not to worry and suggested that they first invite Li Yi to clarify the situation.
Qiu Cui happily handed over the auspicious cake brought by Minister Gu to Lady Gu Wan. As soon as Lady Gu Wan saw the auspicious cake, she understood its meaning and happily exclaimed that it was the most delicious auspicious cake she had ever eaten. Meanwhile, Li Yi was still searching the city with Cui Lin's portrait, not even having time to see the Emperor. Wu Luo asked Liu Cheng Feng if Cui Lin would be willing to leave with him if she woke up, but it was nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.
However, Liu Cheng Feng said that Cui Lin loved him, contradicting Wu Luo's statement that if Cui Lin loved him, she wouldn't have married Li Yi. Wu Luo told Liu Cheng Feng that only one of them could stay, suggesting that killing Cui Lin would be the best option since she wouldn't love him anyway.
Liu Cheng Feng, seeing no other option, reluctantly agreed to Wu Luo's plan to kill Cui Lin. However, he had one condition: he wanted to be the one to kill her, without shedding any blood. Wu Luo agreed and gave Liu Cheng Feng the best poison they had. With great difficulty, Liu Cheng Feng fed the poison to Cui Lin, while Li Yi was still frantically searching for her in the city.
After witnessing Cui Lin being poisoned, Wu Luo prepared to leave with Liu Cheng Feng. However, just as Li Yi and the others arrived outside the place where Cui Lin was hiding, Chang Er came to report that someone at the Yi Village seemed to have seen the person they were looking for. Li Yi was about to leave for the Yi Village when Liu Cheng Feng used all his strength to make a sound.
Wu Luo, afraid of being exposed, killed Liu Cheng Feng. Just before he died, Liu Cheng Feng mustered his last bit of energy and rushed out, urging Li Yi to save Cui Lin. Li Yi entered and found Cui Lin lying on the ground. He quickly carried her back and instructed Chang Er to continue searching for Tao Zi.
Many imperial physicians came to examine Cui Lin. They informed Li Yi that there was no pulse, and the Princess Consort had passed away. Li Yi was unwilling to believe what he heard. He knew Cui Lin wouldn't die. He urged the physicians to do everything they could to save her. The physicians knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
Li Yi held the album they had created together and tried to awaken Cui Lin, but to no avail. Qiu Cui informed Lady Gu Wan that Cui Lin had died. Lady Gu Wan sat up happily, knowing that Li Yi would be heartbroken for some time. Li Yi brought Cui Lin to Leyou Yuan. She lay quietly under a tree. Li Yi recounted their first visit to Leyou Yuan, speaking to Cui Lin, hoping she would wake up.
He told her he would sing her a song and hoped she would wake up. He counted to ten, saying that if Cui Lin didn't open her eyes, it would mean she had lost. But none of these efforts worked. Cui Lin remained unconscious. Li Yi stayed by her side in Leyou Yuan, sitting from day to night, and from night to day.
Finally, Cui Lin woke up and looked at the sleeping Li Yi. She felt a deep sense of heartache.
Even after finishing watching "Le You Yuan," my emotions remain unsettled. This drama has evoked strong emotional resonance in me, accompanying me through tears and laughter.
Every character is brought to life, appearing vivid and realistic, making me feel as if I am immersed in the story.
Li Yi is undoubtedly the most outstanding scout. He always upholds his beliefs and has paid a significant price to achieve peace in the world.
However, the appearance of Ah Ying gives meaning to Li Yi's life. Cui Lin, like Li Yi, holds steadfast ideals and carries immense pressure because of it.
Fortunately, the ending is beautiful.
It is truly, as Fei Wo Si Cun said, an extraordinary sweet drama. The pure and beautiful relationship between Tao Zi and Er Duo fills my heart with joy when I see them finally embrace each other in happiness.
Although Liu Chengfeng's actions are despicable and anger-inducing, in the end, they also leave me in awe. After all, "those who are hated must have pitiable aspects." And there are also Li Yi's loyal career fan Xiao Pei, the female version of Liu Chengfeng, Gu Wan Niang, and many others, not to mention our lovely Zhenxi Army.
Their performances are all remarkable, and I feel fortunate to witness their growth and transformation. In my heart, this drama will always be number one! Finally, seeing them gather at Lao Lan Pass, roasting yellow lamb and enjoying fine wine, Lao Bao and the others appear genuinely happy.
Because they can finally reunite.
Li Yi, a brave and magnanimous individual, has a heart as vast as the boundless desert, as steadfast as the Lao Lan Pass, and as wide as the endless grasslands of the frontier.
He is a compassionate person, deeply aware of the importance of cherishing family bonds. Whether it's treating Lao Lan Pass, his brother-like companion, or his beloved Cui Lin, or even facing the family members who often suppress him, he can sincerely care for them and swear to protect his loved ones from suffering.
In that turbulent era, Li Yi, with his wisdom and courage, repeatedly turned dangers into opportunities, becoming a hero in the hearts of many. However, he never became proud or complacent because of this.
On the contrary, he cherished his family and friends even more. He knew that no matter how powerful an individual's strength was, it couldn't resist the arrangements of fate.
Only the companionship of family and friends was the most precious treasure in life.
Li Yi had a deep bond with Lao Lan Pass. They were comrades who faced life and death together, experiencing countless storms.
Lao Lan Pass once saved Li Yi's life at a critical moment, and Li Yi always regarded Lao Lan Pass as his closest friend. They supported each other, grew together, and became legendary figures of that era.
As for Cui Lin, Li Yi poured all his deep affection into her. He knew that Cui Lin loved him deeply, and for her, he was willing to give everything. However, fate was always adept at playing tricks.
A sudden disaster put Cui Lin in danger. In order to save her, Li Yi risked his life and went through countless hardships. In the end, he successfully rescued Cui Lin from danger, allowing their love to continue.
Although Li Yi was formidable on the battlefield, he never forgot his roots. He never resented the family members who often suppressed him. Because he knew that their intentions were to hope for his betterment.
So, he chose tolerance and understanding, using his actions to show them that he had grown up, capable of protecting himself and his family.
Do not blame the male protagonist for his weakness, nor fault him for yielding to fate early on. The deaths of his brothers were all natural evolutions. The only thing he can control is his own ears, as the goodness or wickedness of others are uncontrollable factors, insufficient to cause such outcomes.
In my heart, Li Yi is a kind-hearted person, optimistic and agile, intelligent and sharp-witted, with exceptional eloquence and astonishing martial prowess. He only desires peace in the world, without seeking power or status.
Each person has their own path of growth and aspirations, yet life is filled with unexpected events and helplessness.
Li Yi's fate is filled with unexpected events and helplessness. His brothers' successive deaths and betrayals were things he couldn't control at that time.
He could only accept this reality and strive to adapt to the world. In this process, he gradually understood a truth: life is full of helplessness. We cannot change our own fate, nor can we control the goodness or wickedness of others.
The only thing we can do is cherish everything before us and strive to live our own splendid lives. In this world full of grievances, Li Yi always maintains qualities of kindness, optimism, and agility. He only desires peace in the world, without seeking power or status.
Each person has their own path of growth and aspirations, yet life is filled with unexpected events and helplessness.
Li Yi's life is the perfect example. He once had countless dreams and hopes, but in the end, they all turned into illusions.
However, it is precisely these dreams and hopes that make him the unforgettable character in our hearts.
In that turbulent era, amidst the raging war and the suffering of the people, Shiqiulang himself was the light of hope. His presence always dispelled the darkness and brought strength to the people.
When Li Yi stood up bravely, facing ten opponents alone, and defying hundreds in a courageous moment, his brothers were filled with joy and anticipation.
Shiqiulang himself was the light of hope. His presence always dispelled the darkness and brought strength to the people.
When Li Yi saw his eldest brother lying aside, and someone wielding a knife towards his second brother, he had already assumed that his second brother was also in danger.
However, unexpectedly, at the critical moment, his second brother turned against his own brothers and stabbed Li Yi with a knife.
At that moment, Li Yi's world seemed to collapse. His heart was filled with endless grief and anger.
From that moment on, Li Yi repeatedly suffered attacks from swords and arrows, not only because of the numerous enemies, but also due to his own injuries.
And all of this originated from his brave act of standing at the forefront to protect his family and friends.
If it weren't for his brother's betrayal, Li Yi could continue to be the fearless Shiqiulang, riding on the battlefield without any concerns.
If his second brother hadn't struck at the last moment, Li Yi might still have held some illusions about the faint bond of kinship.
That one strike completely shattered his illusions!
