Episode 15 recap: Yu Wen Yuan is trapped.
Chu Li is also extremely angry, feeling that they have been loyal to the world, but the Emperor is now targeting them. Chu Li thinks it's better for them to rebel instead. Yu Wen Yuan is unhappy about this and says they shouldn't speak of such treasonous words. Yu Wen Yuan asks Chu Li to take Yu Wen Cheng'an and leave while they stay behind to hold off the situation.
Chu Li prepares clothes for Zhi Lan, and Su Yan hands Yu Wen Cheng'an over to Zhi Lan, instructing her to take him to the southern border. Chu Li says that these things are for Zhi Lan and promises to come and get her when the situation improves. Yu Wen Yuan had previously asked Chu Li if he was afraid, to which Chu Li replied that he wasn't. Yu Wen Yuan says that once Chu Li has someone he wants to protect, he will understand fear.
A group of soldiers arrives, claiming that the King of Nanchuan has rebelled and must be killed without mercy. Yu Wen Yuan also fights with Duke Lu and the others here, and he kills Duke Lu. Su Yan comes to find Yu Wen Ying Ren, and Yu Wen Ying Ren is not pleased, saying that Su Yan still came.
Su Yan says that he came to ask Yu Wen Ying Ren to open the city gates. Yu Wen Ying Ren asks if Su Yan knows what opening the city gates means. Su Yan says that he does, but it was they who involved Yu Wen Yuan and the others. By opening the city gates, they can give Yu Wen Yuan a chance to catch their breath.
Yu Wen Ying Ren asks Su Yan to bring the wine, and they'll have a drink first before he agrees to Su Yan's request. Su Yan brings the wine.
