Episode 11 recap: Yunjiao sought Snow Qing to save Fugui.
General Hu intentionally threatened the emperor, and this time the emperor couldn't show leniency. He demanded that Fugui be executed on the spot. Yunjiao was still pleading for Fugui's life, but Murong Zang agreed to let others take Fugui away. Yunjiao was astonished by Murong Zang's heartlessness. In fact, Murong Zang and the emperor had planned everything in advance. They originally intended to use Snow Qing to investigate General Hu's scheme, but Yunjiao unintentionally ruined their plan.
Murong Zang willingly interceded for Yunjiao and suggested that Fugui should handle the matter from now on. He trusted Fugui to conduct the investigation because Fugui was loyal and would not betray him. In the coming days, Murong Zang planned to pretend to leave the city. He intended to present the evidence he found to General Hu in exchange for Fugui's life. When Yunjiao learned that Murong Zang was planning to leave, she felt that Fugui had already been taken away, and yet she had to attend to her duties. It could be said that Murong Zang had become completely emotionless.
Fugui had initially transformed into his current state to save himself. However, Murong Zang claimed that the world didn't operate on so many principles, and it couldn't be resolved with a few words. Murong Zang held a knife to Yunjiao and reminded her that she was just a servant in the household. He even told her that he didn't need her guidance on what he should do.
Yunjiao had prepared physical evidence to give to Fugui, but she learned that Fugui would be executed the following day. She believed that Snow Qing was responsible for everything. Helpless, Yunjiao could only plead with Snow Qing. Snow Qing was already aware that Yunjiao would come to her. Yunjiao kneeled before Snow Qing and begged for her help. Snow Qing brought her back to the residence. Yunjiao even claimed that Snow Qing should kill her instead. Snow Qing asked Yunjiao if she liked Murong Zang, but Yunjiao did not answer. Yunjiao willingly knelt down to help Snow Qing put on her shoes. Snow Qing suggested playing a game with Yunjiao. Yunjiao had two choices: either take money and never appear near Murong Zang again, or kneel in the residence. For each day she kneeled, Fugui's execution would be delayed by one day.
And so, Yunjiao knelt barefoot on the ground. On the other side, Murong Zang confronted the villains, and Fugui was released from the prison to investigate the truth. Fugui placed the evidence he found in General Hu's residence to blackmail him into releasing the imprisoned. Murong Zang emerged victorious from the confrontation, and soon the emperor learned of the situation and released Fugui.
However, in the prison, Fugui overheard his subordinates saying that Yunjiao had gone to find Snow Qing alone to save him.
