Episode 29 recap: "The Mu king was overthrown and executed.
Qingque helped Yunhuan, who had fallen to the ground, and Yunhuan advised her not to do anything foolish. He then fell to the ground again lifeless. The Mu king was very pleased and told Qingque to be his queen. This made Qingque extremely angry, and she vowed to find ways to kill the Mu king every day of her life. Seeing Qingque's determination, similar to that of the Huai princess in the past, the Mu king revealed that the Huai princess had first discovered his secret treasury and later found forged jade tokens on him. In the end, she died under the Mu king's sword because she refused to submit.
After the death of the Huai princess, Yun Chengying also discovered a secret chamber and was killed in an ambush by the Mu king. Yan Xuncang saw that things were progressing smoothly and suggested that everyone have a drink together. Qingcheng initially wanted Qingque to take Yunhuan away, but the Mu king refused. He felt that Yan Xuncang's words struck a chord with him. Just as he was about to have a drink, Zhao Lishi drank the wine before him and immediately fell to the ground, poisoned.
The Mu king realized that Yan Xuncang intended to deal with him and quickly grabbed Qingque, using her as a shield in front of his chest. However, he did not expect that Yunhuan was not dead. Yunhuan launched a surprise attack from behind and brought him down before dying, cursing Qingque and Yunhuan to never be together again. Although Zhao Lishi was on the ground, he was not dead yet. He believed that all of this was because of Qingque and threw a dart in a final attempt before dying. Yunhuan used himself as a shield to protect Qingque.
The evidence of the Mu king's corrupt practices was solid, and Yunhuan and Qingque regained their honor for their contributions to this case. However, Yunhuan's injuries were severe, and he could breathe his last at any moment."
