Episode 23 recap: Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Wei, father and daughter, recognized each other.
When Cheng Wei saw the sachet, he was shocked, and then he saw Cheng Yuan standing by the side. He was overjoyed and grabbed Cheng Biyuan with both hands, saying repeatedly that his daughter had grown up so much and that he had finally found her. As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Yuan and walked towards the room. Prince Qi, unaware of what was happening, hurriedly followed. Cheng Wei pulled Cheng Biyuan into the room and pointed at everything inside, telling her that it was all prepared for her.
Prince Qi, seeing Cheng Wei's deep affection for Cheng Biyuan, couldn't help but worry and thought that he had ulterior motives. He stepped forward to stop Cheng Wei from showing concern for Cheng Biyuan, but he was pushed out by Cheng Wei. Prince Qi repeatedly knocked on the door but couldn't open it, so he decided to go out and find weapons. At that moment, he suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers, indicating that there were quite a few of them. Prince Qi was greatly alarmed and realized that Cheng Wei was not only a lecher but also secretly stationed troops in this medicinal valley. It seemed that he had rebellious intentions.
With these thoughts in mind, Prince Qi couldn't bear it any longer and rushed in, engaging in a fight with Cheng Wei. He grabbed Cheng Wei's beard and gave him a beating. Fortunately, Cheng Biyuan came in and pulled them apart. Cheng Wei then had the opportunity to say that Cheng Biyuan was his own daughter. Prince Qi looked at the wall and indeed found Cheng Biyuan's portrait hanging there. It turned out that Cheng Wei and his wife were childhood sweethearts, but when the Western Liang invaded the border, Cheng Wei had to lead troops to quell the chaos. In the turmoil of war, Cheng Wei and his wife were separated.
After the war ended, he resigned from his official position at the court and searched far and wide for Cheng Biyuan and her mother, but to no avail. Cheng Biyuan and Cheng Wei, father and daughter, recognized each other and embraced each other, weeping in sorrow. At this moment, a soldier came to report that the Empress Dowager was pressuring the emperor to hand over military power. Upon hearing this, Prince Qi immediately prepared to leave the mountain, and Cheng Wei expressed his intention to accompany him because he was training and preparing for war here on behalf of the emperor.
