Episode 22 recap: The emperor captured several people.
Qian Sanshao also joined the table and was in the midst of a conversation with the other two when Gu Zhiyao suddenly woke up. However, she was still quite drunk and claimed that Shen Jinmo, Bai Xiaoyue, and Qian Sanshao all belonged to her. Helpless, Shen Jinmo had to carry Gu Zhiyao away to rest. The next day, they all went together to find the prince and asked for his help in explaining the situation to the emperor.
Upon seeing the group, the emperor became very angry because Bai Xiaoyue had been deceiving him all along. As the national teacher, she was by his side, possibly plotting to assassinate him. In addition, the emperor had always trusted Gu Zhiyao and she had been complicit in hiding the truth. All of these were crimes of deceiving the ruler. Just as the emperor was about to get angry, Gu Zhiyao quickly mentioned Wu Degui and accused him of colluding with foreign forces to harm the emperor. In order to make the emperor believe them, they even produced the evidence they found on the assassin years ago, which was a token.
It turned out that when they obtained this token, Wu Degui mistakenly thought that Gu Zhiyao, whom the emperor wanted to assassinate, was the target. That's why he didn't dare to investigate further. In a fit of anger, the emperor first imprisoned the group. Originally, Wu Degui had planned to assassinate the prince, but because he was imprisoned in the palace, he couldn't carry out the plan and had to wait and observe the situation.
Shen Jinmo had been consoling Gu Zhiyao all along, assuring her that once the situation was clarified, they would no longer be in danger.
