Episode 25 recap: Liu Rufan told Zhao Ruoxi the truth.
When Zhao Ruoxi met Liu Rufan, she blamed him for betraying them and they got into an argument. The reason for their dispute was that the people from the Queen's side were still watching them. They were putting on a show for the Queen's people. They found an excuse to get rid of the Queen's people and pretended to quarrel inside, but they were actually secretly discussing countermeasures.
Earlier, the Queen's people had surrounded the Liu family, so Liu Rufan had no choice but to help the Queen. Liu Rufan had previously approached Princess Xuan and told her about the situation. They felt that they could only find a way to survive now. Princess Xuan suggested that Liu Rufan pretend to accuse himself to gain the Queen's trust, but the Queen couldn't fully trust Liu Rufan. Liu Rufan was still very dangerous.
Liu Rufan believed that in doing so, Princess Xuan would be in great danger. However, Princess Xuan felt satisfied as long as she could help the Queen and prevent Dongzhao Country from following the path of her motherland. Liu Rufan managed to win over Princess Xuan, and the Queen was also pleased with Liu Rufan. She withdrew the people surrounding the Liu family and gave him a chance to gain favor. She asked him to deliver headache medicine to the Emperor for the next few days.
Liu Rufan showed the medicine to the imperial physician, who confirmed that it was a long-used prescription and had no issues. Liu Rufan then showed the medicine to the prince, who suspected that there was a problem with it, but couldn't determine it at the moment.
