Episode 23 recap: Zhao Ruoci and others discussed.
Zhao Ruoci was locked up here. Liu Rufan and Xuan Guifei came to see her and said that they only mentioned not letting Zhao Ruoci go out, but they didn't say they couldn't come to see her. Liu Rufan, Xuan Guifei, and Zhao Ruoci talked about these things, and Zhao Ruoci felt that the style of that short knife was very familiar. Zhao Ruoci drew the pattern of the short knife she had seen before, and Liu Rufan said that it was the pattern of the Queen's family.
Zhao Ruoci felt a little strange. Xuan Guifei asked Zhao Ruoci who would benefit more if there was a war, and Zhao Ruoci thought it might be the Queen. Xuan Guifei said that the Queen's family controls the 200,000 army guarding the border. If the Kingdom of Lanyue wants to attack them, they cannot bypass the Queen's family. The Queen's family can take advantage of the war to seek profits. There was a family in her own country that did the same thing to make profits.
Liu Rufan felt that the Emperor would meet Zhao Ruoci the next day, and they must take this opportunity to speak out about these things. Liu Rufan assumed that they hadn't had a chance to talk for a long time. She used to enjoy playing the flute, but her father disagreed, thinking it was not appropriate for a young lady. Today, she decided not to act like a young lady and just be herself.
Liu Rufan played the flute while Xuan Guifei danced. They were all very happy. The next day, Zhao Ruoci received news that the Emperor was sick and the Empress Dowager temporarily took charge of the court affairs.
