Episode 25 recap: Pan Yue changed his mind?
Today, the princess went to the palace to meet the empress and arranged for Pan Yue to return to the capital. Pan Yue wanted to complete the handover with the county office before going to the capital to meet Qing Di. Soon, Pan Yue received the imperial order to return to the capital. When the news came out, everyone was very happy and quickly prepared a banquet to bid farewell to Pan Yue and Yang Cai Wei.
In fact, Liu Butou was very grateful to Pan Yue. Before he came, they could only live their lives in a muddled and confused manner. But since Pan Yue came, everything changed. Pan Yue said that Heyang is still their hometown and he hopes they will continue to fight evil and promote good. After going through many ups and downs, Pan Yue and Yang Cai Wei have found peace with what happened in the past. Pan Yue specially took out the jade pendant he had buried and matched it with Pan Yue's.
When Zhuo Lanjiang received the news from Hongfu Restaurant, he went there alone. Bai Xiaosheng secretly followed, worried about his safety, but Zhuo Lanjiang noticed him. Zhuo Lanjiang drew his sword and threatened Bai Xiaosheng not to follow him anymore. Unexpectedly, this scene was criticized by the enthusiastic crowd who rushed forward. Zhuo Lanjiang looked helpless, and Bai Xiaosheng quickly explained that they knew each other. Zhuo Lanjiang caused trouble at the pawnshop every day until he finally met the brother his father had mentioned, but he was not the real mastermind.
Zhuo Lanjiang wanted to understand for whom his father sacrificed his life, but the other party asked him to kill the person next to him in order to meet him. Pan Yue and Yang Cai Wei returned to the capital and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar road. Yang Cai Wei was filled with emotions, as it was the same road she took when she left the capital with her parents.
Officials met Pan Yue on the way and took him to the palace, so Pan Yue asked A Ze to take Yang Cai Wei back to the mansion first. Back at the Shangguan family, Shangguan Lan was very caring towards her sister, but Yang Cai Wei felt uncomfortable about it. Shangguan Lan brought the dog that Shang Guan Zhi used to raise, but Yang Cai Wei was afraid of it, while Ling Er tried to mediate.
Shangguan Lan asked about the relationship between Yang Cai Wei and Pan Yue. Seeing her sister's wish fulfilled, Shangguan Lan had no regrets. Regardless, he wanted his sister to be the happiest bride in the world. Yang Cai Wei felt guilty in her heart. If he knew that her sister had already passed away, how much pain would he feel? And what could she do to make amends?
Pan Yue went to the palace to meet the empress and the princess, but the empress arranged a marriage between Pan Yue and the princess. Pan Yue didn't have time to mediate and was forced to agree. Pan Yue's father didn't want Pan Yue to continue his investigation because he had become a nobleman and would surely rise to great heights in the future. The empress instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange the wedding between Pan Yue and the princess, and the schedule for the next month was filled to the brim.
Yang Cai Wei saw that her and Pan Yue's portraits were all over Shang Guan Zhi's room and felt somewhat helpless. Yang Cai Wei realized that Ling Er had been helping her all along, and Ling Er admitted that she already knew Yang Cai Wei wasn't Shang Guan Zhi. Since she woke up from the danger, she had been different, especially after discovering Yang Cai Wei's forensic tools, which confirmed it even more. But Ling Er never thought of telling anyone about it, considering the cautious life she had lived with Shang Guan Zhi before, and now this young lady turned out to be a good person.
Yang Cai Wei was very touched and asked her not to treat her as a lady from now on, they would be sisters. Shangguan Lan arranged a rich meal for Yang Cai Wei, and she ate until she was full, but there was still no news from Pan Yue. At that moment, Pan Yue sent a message for Yang Cai Wei to meet him at the Fengya Garden. Yang Cai Wei couldn't wait and wanted to go immediately, but Ling Er quickly stopped her, saying that if they were recognized by acquaintances, they would surely be harassed.
At Fengya Garden, Yang Cai Wei encountered Sima Xuan, Shang Guan Zhi's arch-enemy. Without saying a word, he pulled her inside to enjoy tea, and specifically mentioned that Pan Yue and the princess would get married on the fifteenth of next month. Yang Cai Wei was shocked. Faced with the mockery and taunts from Sima Xuan and others, Yang Cai Wei boldly fought back. Sima Xuan even took out pollen to use against Yang Cai Wei, but she saw through it at a glance and pretended to accidentally pour it on her own face.
Sima Xuan ended up with a swollen face from a bee sting, and then the princess arrived. It turned out that it wasn't Pan Yue who arranged to meet Yang Cai Wei, but the princess. Pan Yue even revealed Yang Cai Wei's true identity to the princess. The princess admitted that she also had ulterior motives for helping Pan Yue. She genuinely wanted Pan Yue to become a nobleman. Now, if Yang Cai Wei didn't let go, she would have to drink the poisoned wine in front of her.
