Episode 25 recap: Mu Wang used the news of the marriage to force Yun Huan to appear.
Ignoring Qing Cheng's obstruction, Qing Que insisted on taking the abortion medicine, which greatly pleased Mu Wang, who was secretly observing. He immediately showed himself and assured her that he would not hold any grudges. However, he was displeased with Qing Cheng for opposing him. Qing Cheng tearfully questioned Mu Wang, asking how he could lay a hand on Qing Que, who was both the daughter of Huai Wang and their childhood companion. She couldn't understand why he insisted on marrying her.
Mu Wang ruthlessly slapped Qing Cheng, forbidding her from questioning his decision. Zhao Lishi reported to Mu Wang that one of their silver storage locations had been raided by Yun Huan, resulting in significant losses and injuries to Yun Huan. However, they didn't know where he was hiding. Mu Wang knew that Qing Que was dear to Yun Huan's heart, so he immediately ordered the spread of news about his marriage to Qing Que. His intention was to force Yun Huan to trade the jade pendant for Qing Que.
Upon learning that Qing Que was going to marry Mu Wang again, Yun Huan was determined to return and save her, regardless of the thorough preparations made by Mu Wang's household to deal with him. Even the persuasions of the military advisor couldn't stop him. Yan Qingcang tended to Qing Cheng's injuries and felt pity for her upon realizing how harshly Mu Wang had treated her. Qing Cheng mentioned a secret chamber in Huai Wang's residence, where no noise from inside could be heard outside. Yan Qingcang thought of using the secret chamber to disrupt the wedding.
Mu Wang loved playing chess. When he made the final move with a white piece in front of Qing Que, she suddenly understood the true meaning of the treasure map depicting the location of the silver storage.
