Episode 17 recap: General Hu's crimes are severe and he finally receives his due punishment.
Yunjiao feels very upset. In the evening, Murong Cang also comes to see him and informs him that the Emperor has agreed to exile General Hu, but his death penalty cannot be executed at the moment. Yunjiao is still somewhat disappointed because it means that Murong Cang won't let General Hu off easily. General Hu is still arguing and insisting on seeing the Emperor, but Murong Cang doesn't give him any chance at all. The imperial decree regarding the punishment of General Hu has already been announced by the officials. General Hu claims that the whole city is under the control of Duke Zhenguo and they won't spare him.
At first, General Hu thought that even if he was exiled, he would still be alive. Murong Cang approaches General Hu step by step with a sword, frightening General Hu into thinking that he is going to be killed by Murong Cang. Murong Cang reaches General Hu and the latter shouts loudly. Then, General Hu directly cuts his own hand with the sword and publicly accuses General Hu of attempting to escape and injuring himself, which scares General Hu into quickly denying it.
In fact, Murong Cang is just finding an excuse to kill General Hu and avenge his family's grievances. Moreover, everyone present states that they saw General Hu and knows that he is destined to die. Murong Cang even presents a token given by Fugui, and General Hu even retorts that he only killed a dog of Murong Cang's. Murong Xue recalls that her entire family was killed by General Hu and his men, so this is not just for Fugui, but also for all her deceased relatives from the Mu family.
At this moment, Murong Cang's face is already covered in blood, but before General Hu dies, he leaves a letter for Xueqing and indicates that the true Princess Xueqing has been found, and if nothing unexpected happens, it would be Yunjiao, who is by Murong Cang's side. Xueqing is furious, as she never expected Yunjiao not only to snatch Murong Cang away but also to steal her identity as a princess.
Yunjiao mourns for Fugui at the place where he was killed. At this time, a maid comes to inform Yunjiao that Xueqing has something important to tell her, and it concerns Yunjiao's own background.
