Episode 15 recap: A Jiu broke ties with Prince Ye.
Since A Jiu and Blue returned, they have been burdened with worries and no longer talked as much as before. Bai Kang felt puzzled by this change. At this moment, A Jiu was hesitating whether to tell Blue the truth. Considering Prince Ye's deep scheming, A Jiu didn't dare to put Blue in danger by making him an enemy, so they decided not to say anything. Although Blue heard from Wolfbane that no other spirits had been captured, there was still lingering unease in their heart. They wanted to discuss it with A Jiu, but considering that A Jiu was just an ordinary person, they dismissed the thought.
A female manager from Baicao Hall came, stating that there were female family members in need of medical consultation and invited Blue to the mansion. However, A Jiu was worried about the danger Blue might encounter, so they took the responsibility upon themselves, citing Blue's lack of medical expertise as a reason. A Jiu followed the female manager to a secluded mansion, knowing full well that it belonged to Prince Ye. It was only because of the lotus scent on Yuan Xiang's body that A Jiu could confirm this.
Prince Ye had already anticipated A Jiu's visit and had a private conversation with them while playing a game of chess. They talked about recent events, and A Jiu asked Prince Ye to clarify where their next move should be. Prince Ye expressed his discontent, recalling how he had pacified Beiming, but when he returned to the capital, his younger brother ascended to the throne.
A Jiu believed that those in power should prioritize the well-being of the people, but Prince Ye was dissatisfied with the current emperor's incompetence. Therefore, he wanted to rebel and seize the world with the help of spirits. A Jiu made it clear that they already knew about Prince Ye's involvement in creating the tragic incidents using spirits as a cover, so they would no longer trust him and broke ties with him.
