Episode 26 recap: Yang Cai Wei practiced dancing diligently.
Yang Cai Wei's trust in Pan Yue became her confidence to refute the county princess. However, she did not expect that the county princess would directly poison her drink, intending to make her take the path to the netherworld. Yang Cai Wei snatched the cup and drank it all in one go. This was a test from the county princess. The county princess was a person of great righteousness, how could she possibly poison and harm others?
The county princess laughed heartily. In fact, she had always been curious about what kind of person could earn Pan Yue's appreciation. Now that she had seen Yang Cai Wei, she even began to envy Pan Yue for having her. After receiving Yang Cai Wei, the county princess took her to meet Pan Yue, using this opportunity to get rid of Sun, a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Rites. However, when the two of them got on the carriage together, they were seen by Bai Xiaosheng, causing a misunderstanding in her heart.
Pan Yue and Yang Cai Wei hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it felt like an eternity. The county princess teased them with a smile. Pan Yue explained the situation with the songstress to the county princess, and the two of them planned to expose the person behind the scenes as soon as possible. Pan Yue and Yang Cai Wei arrived at the place Qing Di had mentioned and met with Qing Di.
The dancers were performing a dance in the clouds, and Qing Di arranged for Yun'er and Pan Yue to collaborate covertly. Yang Cai Wei was worried that being seen together with Pan Yue would lead to misunderstandings and misjudgments from others, but Pan Yue took him to a place, their childhood hideout in the peach blossom forest, which was their secret base.
Yang Cai Wei carved their names on a tree, marking it as their peach blossom forest. Over the years, Pan Yue had been taking care of this peach blossom forest and always remembered the promise they made when they were young. When it came to Shang Guan Lan, both Yang Cai Wei and Pan Yue were unwilling to deceive him.
When Pan Yue accompanied Yang Cai Wei home, their intimate actions were seen by Shang Guan Lan. Faced with Shang Guan Lan, Pan Yue predicted his intentions and gestured for him to speak first. Unable to bear it any longer, Shang Guan Lan questioned Pan Yue about why he couldn't untangle himself from Yang Cai Wei and why he kept dreaming of becoming a nobleman.
Yang Cai Wei quickly stated that she had let go of her emotional entanglement, but in Shang Guan Lan's eyes, she had given up her own happiness in order to fulfill Pan Yue's. Shang Guan Lan forced Pan Yue to give an explanation to Yang Cai Wei, and Pan Yue promised to divorce the county princess before the fifteenth of next month, and at that time, he would give Shang Guan Lan a satisfactory explanation.
Late at night, Zhuo Lanjiang killed the person designated by the other party, leaving only his young son behind.
Bai Xiaosheng became worried when Zhuo Lanjiang didn't come home and went out to find him, only to discover Zhuo Lanjiang drinking in frustration. Bai Xiaosheng sat down and ordered a pot of wine as well. He had many things hidden in his heart, but he didn't want to ask. He silently accompanied her. Unbeknownst to them, they drank a lot of wine. Zhuo Lanjiang, with Bai Xiaosheng's support, returned home. Bai Xiaosheng noticed the injury on his shoulder and quickly applied medicine to it.
The alcohol they consumed and their close proximity made their hearts beat faster. Zhuo Lanjiang could no longer hide his feelings and kissed Bai Xiaosheng unabashedly. He only felt like himself when she was by his side. The next morning, Zhuo Lanjiang woke up and saw Bai Xiaosheng next to him, instinctively getting up. Bai Xiaosheng pretended to still be asleep. Just as Zhuo Lanjiang stepped out of the room, he saw that person who said the master agreed to meet him. A carriage would come to pick him up in three days.
Bai Xiaosheng witnessed this and reminded Zhuo Lanjiang that the person didn't seem trustworthy, and he should be careful. Zhuo Lanjiang hesitated and wanted to discuss the matter later, but Bai Xiaosheng casually said that it was their choice and threw herself into his arms. He was doing something dangerous, but no matter what, Bai Xiaosheng would always be by his side. Wan Mama came to choose the dancers and rejected Yun'er. Qing Di was furious.
Qing Di couldn't believe the other dancers either. Yang Cai Wei decided to step up and participate. Previously, when she was collecting corpses in the righteousness village, she thought of a way to scare away the tomb robbers by appearing to float in the air. Yang Cai Wei decided to use the same method this time. Pan Yue was very worried about her safety but ultimately decided to respect Yang Cai Wei's decision.
In the following days, Yang Cai Wei stayed with Qing Di to practice dancing. In just one night, she fell dozens of times. Qing Di had been unwilling to perform this dance since Yun'er's death, but she was willing to teach Yun'er because of the resemblance between her and Yun'er. Yang Cai Wei was determined to bring them justice and became even more diligent.
