Episode 22 recap: Mu Yuan Qi rushed to save Mo Bing.
Mo Bing knew very well that it was a trap set by Ru Fei, but she still fell into it. Mo Bing asked Ru Fei about the whereabouts of Mu Yuan Qi, and Ru Fei replied, asking her why she cared about him. She told Mo Bing to take care of herself first. Mo Bing was injured by Ru Fei's gu worms, and Ru Fei told her that since her children couldn't show affection, she should obediently hand over her heart.
Lu Sheng realized what was happening and pulled the gu worms off his neck. He quickly ran to find Mu Yuan Qi and informed him that Ru Fei had taken Mo Bing away. Mu Yuan Qi wondered why Ru Fei took her away if she only wanted Mo Bing's heart, as she could take it at any time.
Mu Yuan Qi recalled what he had read in a book about the Heart of Crimson Flame, and realized that Ru Fei might be taking Mo Bing to the place where Min Jiu would extract her heart. Indeed, Mo Bing was tied up by Ru Fei at the location where her heart was extracted 3,000 years ago. Ru Fei exclaimed that Mu Yuan Qi was willing to kill even his own mother for the sake of Mo Bing.
Mu Yuan Qi told Ru Fei that he knew he couldn't stop her from taking Mo Bing's heart, so he came to accompany her. Ru Fei thought about the time when the Emperor gave her a choice between drinking poison and making Mu Yuan Qi his beloved son. She wondered whether she should make Mu Yuan Qi drink the poison and stay by her side as her beloved concubine.
Just as Ru Fei was about to extract Mo Bing's heart, Mu Yuan Qi threw a sword and cut the rope that bound Mo Bing.
