Episode 8 recap: The blue sparrow blocked the sword for Yunhuan.
When the blue sparrow, a bird considered ominous by the people in the mansion, played with the blue bird that could speak human language, not only did it call her "Qingqing," but it also said that Yunhuan loves Qingqing. This made people marvel at how a bird could understand human relationships better than humans themselves. Qingcheng saw the familiarity between the blue sparrow and the blue bird and immediately reported it to Yunhuan. This forced Yunhuan to deal with Qingcheng and decide to kill the blue bird. However, Qingcheng was dissatisfied because, in her eyes, the blue sparrow was much more annoying than the blue bird.
The next day, Qingcheng, dressed in riding attire, came to have a meal with the blue sparrow. She claimed that she had been wronged the previous day, and today Yunhuan specially compensated her by not only allowing her to go out but also taking her hunting. Yunhuan sent a bowl of soup to the blue sparrow, and after the blue sparrow took a sip, he told her that the delicious soup was made from the blue bird. Upon hearing this, the blue sparrow found it difficult to swallow and felt immense pain in her heart. She suppressed her discomfort and congratulated Qingcheng and Yunhuan on reconciling. She then left first and, when there was no one around, she thought about how she had once believed that Yunhuan was a person of integrity and sentiment. She couldn't help but despise herself and decided to do whatever it takes to obtain the jade pendant without hesitating due to emotions.
Yan Qingcang was invited by the blue sparrow to the Muwang Mansion to treat King Mu's illness. King Mu's condition quickly improved, and at the opportune moment, the blue sparrow suggested that they all go together to pray for King Mu tomorrow. She knew that the jade pendant was still with Yunhuan and planned to seize the opportunity to take it directly. The blue sparrow calculated each step carefully but underestimated Qingcheng's jealousy. As a result, the assassin attacked Qingcheng instead, and she had to deliberately stand in front of Yunhuan and block a sword for him.
