Episode 13 recap: Gu Zhiyao faced another assassination attempt.
Gu Zhiyao arrived at the Wang Mansion, intending to test the waters. However, the guards intercepted her because she didn't have an invitation, denying her entry. Coincidentally, at that moment, the prince returned and informed the servants that Gu Zhiyao should be allowed to enter the mansion freely from now on. Gu Zhiyao deliberately probed the prince, straightforwardly asking if he was the one behind the assassination attempt. Upon hearing this, the prince became extremely angry.
Just as the two of them were getting off the carriage, the masked assassin from that day reappeared. Gu Zhiyao recognized him—it was the person who had tried to ensure her demise at that time. However, the prince had no guards by his side this time, and the assassin thought he would succeed. Little did he know that the prince had been concealing his true strength and effortlessly defeated the assassin. The prince intended to interrogate the assassin about the mastermind behind the plot, but the assassin chose to poison himself, revealing that he was a loyal follower.
The prince believed that Gu Zhiyao had been tarnished by the assassin that day and declared that he wouldn't mind marrying her. Helpless, Gu Zhiyao could only bid the prince farewell awkwardly. Today is the anniversary of Qian Sanshao's father's death, a day when Qian Sanshao would spend a lot of money to pay tribute to his father. Gu Zhiyao learned this from the common people but didn't believe it when she heard that Shen Jinmo's father was implicated.
After returning, Gu Zhiyao informed Shen Jinmo about the assassination attempt and suspected that Wu Degui might be the person behind it. Shen Jinmo planned to secretly investigate the Wu Mansion. Qian Sanshao's servant approached Gu Zhiyao and recounted the incident where Qian Sanshao was poisoned. Gu Zhiyao sought help from the national teacher. The national teacher presented her with a choice based on karma, allowing her to choose only one. However, Gu Zhiyao didn't want to give up on Qian Sanshao's spoiled behavior and pleaded with the national teacher for assistance. Helplessly, the national teacher could only provide her with medicine that could be deciphered.
