Episode 28 recap: "Yun Huan drank the poisoned wine and fell to the ground.
Qing Que tried to negotiate with Qing Cheng to let herself out, but there was silence all around, and Qing Cheng had already left. Following Yan Yun Cang's instructions, Yun Huan found the Huai Prince's residence. He murmured to himself, not knowing where the secret room was. Meanwhile, Qing Que was inside the secret room. She heard Yun Huan's voice and shouted loudly, but the sound couldn't escape. Qing Que couldn't help but feel despair.
Yun Huan saw the chessboard on the table and remembered the note given to him by Qing Que. He attempted to make the final move with a white piece. The secret room responded, and Qing Que saw Yun Huan standing before her. They embraced tightly. Yun Huan knew that the secret room contained a large amount of silver, and he planned to take Qing Que away. However, unexpectedly, Mu Wang and Zhao Li Shi arrived, demanding that Yun Huan hand over the real jade pendant.
Yun Huan had already anticipated this situation. He whispered to Qing Que, asking her to go and retrieve the jade pendant as a pretense while actually informing the strategist of the situation. Mu Wang knew that Qing Que and Yun Huan had a deep bond and that she would not fail to return. Therefore, he sent others but did not let Zhao Li Shi accompany Qing Que. The strategist incapacitated the person who was watching Qing Que and claimed that the jade pendant had already been handed over to the emperor, insisting on keeping Qing Que. However, she refused to leave Yun Huan alone to face danger and took the risk of returning.
Mu Wang knew that if Qing Que and Yun Huan both fell victim to the same curse, only one of them could survive. He hesitated between keeping Qing Que as his woman or killing Yun Huan. Unexpectedly, Qing Cheng brought a sixth-grade wine jug, and it was up to fate to determine whether they lived or died. In the end, Yun Huan drank that cup of poisoned wine, coughed up blood, and collapsed."
