Episode 17 recap: The morning light pierced Yin Moting's heart.
After the victorious return to the court, Yin Moting hurriedly embraced the morning light, calling her by her nickname and expressing his longing for her. Without saying a word, the morning light suddenly thrust a dagger towards Yin Moting. Caught off guard, Yin Moting took a few steps back and asked why she would do such a thing. The morning light questioned him about why he deceived her, attacked her country, and killed her imperial parents, betraying her constant yearning for him.
Yin Moting apologized, explaining that he never intended to deceive her. However, the morning light's eyes were blinded by hatred, and she disregarded his words and once again aimed the knife at Yin Moting. Just then, the parents of the morning light hurriedly entered the room and stopped her. Seeing her parents unharmed, she was stunned. They tightly embraced her and explained that they were able to survive thanks to Yin Moting's careful planning.
The peaceful days of the Chen Kingdom had been long gone, and its downfall was inevitable. Yin Moting, instead of attacking the city, had come to persuade them personally. It was only after his efforts and the surrender document were written that the people of the Chen Kingdom were spared from further suffering. The morning light realized that she had been deceived by the Crown Prince. He had intentionally tried to sow discord between her and the Crown Prince. She deeply regretted doubting Yin Moting.
However, Yin Moting did not dwell on that. He urged them to leave immediately because the situation in the court was complicated, and staying would only bring danger. In the middle of the night, Yin Moting hastily took the morning light and her parents out of the palace, but they were intercepted on the way by the Crown Prince, Yin Moxuan, and his men.
