Episode 12 recap: The truth behind the curse of the returning geese in the city has been revealed.
Bai Xue Yan and Yin Qiao have trapped Wu Siman, who claims to have important evidence to share with Song Ci. Initially, Song Ci never suspected General Li's younger brother. They always thought that someone had quietly infiltrated the military camp, overlooking the fact that the culprit had been hiding in the frozen camp all along.
General Li's younger brother wanted to deny it, but Song Ci had already learned about his motive for murder from Shen Xi Yue. In fact, General Li's younger brother had ambitious aspirations and had long desired to replace his brother, providing ample reason to kill him. However, up until now, General Li's younger brother continued to deny his involvement. The most compelling evidence is the undestroyed letter, although it lacks his signature, General Li's brother's handwriting is easily recognizable.
Similarly, Li Zi Fang has an exceptional photographic memory, so the secret letter he saw on the table was written by General Li's younger brother. In fact, before he was summoned, Li Zi Fang had already planned to kill Wu Siman. Fortunately, Wu Siman was unharmed. At that moment, Bai Xue Yan and Yin Qiao returned and successfully rescued Wu Siman. Bai Xue Yan also discovered that the substance General Li's younger brother used to harm the messengers was a type of drug that rendered them unconscious without any awareness.
Initially, he wanted to resist, but he soon realized he was already surrounded. Han Fu informed the emperor about your family's matter and explained that this case was solved with the help of a young man named Song Ci. Additionally, there was another person named Li Zi Fang by his side. Li Zi Fang's father is currently imprisoned for transporting provisions that were burned. The case has not been solved yet.
The emperor instructed Han Fu to thoroughly investigate this matter. Han Fu also mentioned that he knew the Crown Prince was currently in the city and together with Song Ci. Coincidentally, Shen Xi Yue is also in the city. The Shen family is not aware of this situation for the time being. The emperor told Han Fu that he will always be loyal to him, and that they are all working for the prosperity of the Great Song. Han Fu naturally agreed to carry out the emperor's orders.
At night, Shen Xi Yue went to meet her sister, Shen Xi Fei. Shen Xi Fei instructed her sister to keep a close eye on me, Song Ci. The situation in Da Song is currently very unstable. Originally, this case was entrusted to the Shen family, but halfway through, it was handed over to others. Shen Xi Fei also told her sister that they encountered a disaster this time.
Han Fu also wrote a letter to Bai Xue Yan, instructing her to stay by Song Ci's side at all times. Song Ci is a rare talent, and he hopes that they can become useful individuals for the court together. General Li's younger brother is locked up in the dungeon. Suddenly, a black-clad person arrived and informed him that he had failed in his mission. He knew he was undoubtedly doomed, but even in death, he would not betray his allies.
The next morning, Wei Daren came over with Song Ci to examine the corpse. All the guards were drugged last night, and the deceased had a deep knife wound on their body. Although the dungeon is a sealed room and it would be very difficult to enter, they hadn't had a chance to interrogate the prisoner. The person was killed before they could do so. Song Ci deduced that someone wanted to kill to silence them. It seems that the culprit is someone within their midst, possibly with an alliance who doesn't want General Li's younger brother to expose them.
Song Ci also planned to set off, but before leaving, he asked Wei Daren for a carriage. However, Shen Xi Yue insisted on following them, and Yin Qiao naturally wanted to be with them as well. The group was growing in numbers. In the evening, they all sat by the river, roasting meat. Bai Xue Yan took out her special spices to sprinkle on the meat but accidentally used a sedative instead. Zhao Xiao Liu immediately fainted.
At first, Yin Qiao felt inadequate, thinking she only knew some basic martial arts. Li Zi Fang was there to comfort her. After they finished eating the meat, Zhao Xiao Liu woke up. At night, Song Ci and Zhao Xiao Liu slept in the same tent. Song Ci speculated about Zhao Xiao Liu's identity, but Zhao Xiao Liu fell asleep.
In reality, both Bai Xue Yan and Shen Xi Yue knew that each other's motives were not pure in this situation. However, they both had their own goals to accomplish, so they reached an agreement not to hinder each other.
