Episode 10 recap: "The Strongest Support."
After resolving a crisis, Prince Qi took Cheng Biyuan back to the mansion. They overheard the servants discussing and speculating that Prince Qi had once again stepped forward to protect Cheng Biyuan, undoubtedly because he loved her deeply. Cheng Biyuan was deeply moved upon hearing this. Sitting in the carriage, Prince Qi advised her to be cautious in the future because they might not always be so lucky to escape unscathed. Cheng Biyuan asked, "What should we do if we can't avoid it?" After pondering for a moment, Prince Qi replied, "If we can't avoid it, then I will be your strongest support."
Cheng Biyuan was extremely excited upon hearing this. She dared not meet Prince Qi's affectionate gaze and shyly turned her face away. Mu Yuan, with the assistance of scallions and garlic cloves, intentionally shook the carriage, causing the two inside to unexpectedly collide and accidentally kiss each other. Although Prince Qi felt delighted in his heart, he purposely scolded them loudly.
Upon learning that Prince Qi was going to the Western Liang to suppress a rebellion, Cheng Biyuan specially prepared many delicacies. Due to the dangerous journey ahead, Prince Qi did not intend to bring Cheng Biyuan along. Unhappy about this, Cheng Biyuan stubbornly stayed in her room and refused to come out to see Prince Qi off. Helpless, Prince Qi had no choice but to board the carriage and depart. As the carriage traveled through the woods, the assassin Li Yuer, along with his men, had long been lying in ambush nearby. When they saw the carriage approaching, they immediately shot arrows, only to discover that the carriage was empty. It was then that Li Yuer realized he had been tricked.
At that moment, Prince Qi and Mu Yuan were dining in a small tavern. Mu Yuan admired Prince Qi's foresight in taking a different route. Prince Qi lost his appetite upon seeing the food in the tavern, so Mu Yuan took out a prepared meal box. Prince Qi was happily eating when suddenly he spat out blood, exclaiming that the food was poisoned.
