Episode 19 recap: Mei Kaishao was framed and kidnapped Jiu'er.
Mei Kaishao managed to escape the pursuit of the black-clothed men with Jiu'er and they hid inside a thatched cottage. At this time, Lord Cui had already informed the emperor that someone had seen Jiu'er being taken outside the city by Mei Kaishao and there were even suspicions that Mei Kaishao had kidnapped the princess. After hiding Jiu'er safely, Mei Kaishao stepped out alone to confront the black-clothed men, even though she had no martial arts skills. In a critical moment, Murong Hanbing and Shadow arrived and rescued Mei Kaishao and Jiu'er.
Just as Jiu'er, Mei Kaishao, and the others entered the city, they were intercepted and accused of being the ones who kidnapped Princess Jiu. They were forced to meet the emperor. Murong Hanbing signaled Mei Kaishao not to explain and that everything would be clear when they met the emperor. Together, they went to the palace to meet the emperor and the empress dowager. Although Princess Jiu spoke up for Mei Kaishao and admitted that she had gone out on her own, Mei Kaishao was still accused of being the kidnapper. With Murong Hanbing's testimony, it was confirmed that Mei Kaishao not only didn't harm Princess Jiu but also protected her at the risk of getting injured. In front of everyone, Murong Hanbing embraced Mei Kaishao and left the hall.
When the time was almost up, Mei Kaishao hurriedly descended and gave Murong Hanbing a jade pendant to celebrate his birthday. Murong Hanbing believed that Mei Kaishao was the best gift given to him by heaven, and just as they were about to share a kiss, Jiu'er appeared and interrupted their sweet moment. Jiu'er clamored to celebrate together and have a big feast. Mei Kaishao prepared a hot pot for everyone. Mei Kaishao explained that it symbolized the joy of being together. Whatever Mei Kaishao prepared, Murong Hanbing loved it, and that was enough to make Mei Kaishao happy.
