Episode 16 recap: Recovered Stolen Treasures, Liu Jin Yuan Leads Disaster Relief.
After Ji San Niang's arrest, Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er were eager to recover the lost treasures. Unexpectedly, they found the magistrate's lost pearl, which instantly transformed into a golden phoenix and then into a little girl. The girl claimed to be the Golden Wing Phoenix and claimed to be of the same origin as the Spirit Pearl. She desired to become Zhao Ling Er's apprentice.
It turned out that the Golden Wing Phoenix sensed that Zhao Ling Er could resurrect her and regarded her as the master she had been waiting for for a thousand years.
Lin Yue Ru regained her freedom and felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er's intimacy. She quickly adjusted her emotions and warmly embraced Zhao Ling Er.
Jin Ba Ye conveyed a message through a parrot, expressing that he had already helped and would no longer disturb them.
Elder Shi, a minister of the Kingdom of Nanzhao, reported to the king that the princess had been found. The king eagerly awaited the return of the princess, and Elder Shi would personally welcome her. He also revealed that they had found the stone statue of the witch queen in Yunmeng Marsh. For the past ten years, they had been searching for the technique of rebirth. Upon hearing that Princess Ling Er could assist in the queen's rebirth, this journey became even more important, and the king was filled with anticipation.
During the interrogation of Ji San Niang, Liu Jin Yuan and Li Xiao Yao attended as witnesses. The reason behind the magistrate's actions was unclear, but he ordered Ji San Niang to be beheaded. Liu Jin Yuan believed that a thorough questioning should be conducted. A Nu and Tang Yu followed the person who presented the treasure to the well to count it and discovered that the treasures were missing.
The Chief Historian was anxious, and Ji San Niang bluntly stated that the magistrate used the pretext of appraising treasures to amass wealth and framed the thief.
Liu Jin Yuan shifted the focus to Ji San Niang. Although she did not steal the treasures, her actions of robbing the rich to help the poor still deserved punishment. He decided to imprison Ji San Niang and arranged to have tea with the magistrate the next day.
Zhao Ling Er took Li Xiao Yao back to the inn and learned that his parents were in Nanzhao. Li decided to go there and return Zhao's hairpin.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling Er was overjoyed.
The next day, Liu Jin Yuan and Lin Yue Ru went to the warehouse to count the disaster relief funds, and Li Xiao Yao discovered the stolen treasures. The magistrate explained that they were temporarily kept for safekeeping and would eventually be distributed along with the disaster relief funds.
Lin Yue Ru believed that this was unfair, but Liu Jin Yuan promised to arrange for proper distribution and report to the court.
A Nu and Tang Yu were sightseeing in Yangzhou City, and A Nu asked Tang Yu to call her by her name directly.
In the evening, everyone enjoyed fireworks together. Li Xiao Yao and Zhao Ling Er were affectionate, while Lin Yue Ru felt a sense of loss, feeling that beautiful things were out of reach.
