Episode 37 recap: Li Rong was willing to give up power for the sake of love.
Li Rong wanted to win over Su Rong Qing, but Su Rong Qing did not want to let Li Chuan ascend the throne. Li Rong said that he was indeed poisoned by a beautiful woman years ago, but only three people knew about this poison - himself, Pei Wen Xuan, and Li Chuan. Li Rong had already guessed that this matter might be related to Li Chuan.
Su Rong Qing said that they all killed Li Rong - Li Chuan, himself, and Shang Guan Ya. This is also why Su Rong Qing did not want to let Li Chuan ascend the throne, not wanting the tragedy to repeat itself. He was willing to die, but Li Chuan could not live either.
Li Rong wanted to know why his brother had killed him. Su Rong Qing said that when Li Rong was traveling, he had encountered an alchemist, but this was actually a trap orchestrated by Shang Guan Ya and a powerful family to make Li Rong accidentally meet the alchemist, and Li Rong even let him stay by Li Chuan's side, which also made Li Chuan's health poor.
Li Rong did not understand why no investigation was conducted at the time. Su Rong Qing said that Li Rong's identity was special, so Li Chuan chose to poison him. Su Rong Qing also knew that Li Rong knew he was poisoned, but put the antidote in a sachet to delay the toxicity for everyone. Li Rong asked why they did not save him.
Su Rong Qing said it was Shang Guan Ya's decision, and at the time he was not sure about Li Rong's intentions. Before his death, Li Chuan even had Pei Wen Xuan change his will, and even said that the Crown Princess was the most powerful family, so it was Li Chuan who ordered the assassination of Li Rong.
Pei Wen Xuan actually did not kill Li Rong. If Pei Wen Xuan had died and Li Rong was still alive, the entire balance would have been lost. Li Rong knew that Su Rong Qing had returned to take revenge. Su Rong Qing expressed that after Li Chuan ascended the throne, he brought great dangers and led to widespread warfare, and he could no longer persuade Li Chuan.
Su Rong Qing originally planned to let Su Wang ascend the throne, so that he could have complete control in the future, and he would then bring Li Rong back. Li Rong did not expect that in the end, his own brother had harmed him. But Li Rong did not understand why Su Rong Qing and Shang Guan Ya did not believe him. From Su Rong Qing's words, Li Rong learned the shocking secret that the child Shang Guan Ya was carrying at the time was not Li Chuan's.
So Su Rong Hua will kill Qin Zhen Zhen, and Li Chuan did not expect such an ending. Su Rong Qing asked Li Rong if he would still sacrifice his life for Li Chuan. Su Rong Qing said he would give his life back to Li Rong. At this time, Pei Wen Xuan had arrived, and Su Rong Qing got dressed, telling Li Rong to think it over carefully.
When Pei Wen Xuan arrived, only Li Rong was left, completely in tears. Li Rong said that Pei Wen Xuan had finally come. Then Pei Wen Xuan carried Li Rong back home. Pei Wen Xuan did not ask too many questions.
Su Wang is feeling very unwell, so the Emperor quickly summons Rou Fei to come. Li Rong just returned, and learned that Li Chuan has visited many times, and Li Rong doesn't know how to face him.
Although Pei Wen Xuan doesn't know what exactly the two have said, Li Rong is deeply saddened, it seems that Su Rong Qing needs to be controlled. When Rou Fei comes and sees her son, she is very worried, constantly muttering that she is afraid, and wants everyone to leave except the mother.
The Emperor says he will definitely find a way to save her. The Emperor knows that there must have been a fragrant beauty's drug used in the court today, which is why the poison cannot be cured. Rou Fei keeps telling her daughter Hua Yue that from now on, no one is allowed to enter, and they need to find Su Rong Qing, as he is the senior official of her son.
Cui Yu Lang comes to find Li Rong, and Li Rong guesses that the one who poisoned may be the Emperor, but with Su Rong Qing behind the scenes, Su Wang may not die. Li Rong now begins to wonder if she should believe Li Chuan, as what Su Rong Qing said is not wrong, perhaps Li Chuan is indeed not suitable to be the Emperor, so Su Wang may be the best choice.
Li Rong tells Shang Guan Ya her thoughts, and Shang Guan Ya is very surprised. However, at this time, the imperial physician tells Pei Wen Xuan that Li Rong is now pregnant, and Pei Wen Xuan is very cautious and asks the physician if there is anything she needs to pay attention to.
Shang Guan Ya didn't expect Li Rong to make such a decision, and Li Rong's attitude towards Shang Guan Ya suddenly changes because she knows it was Shang Guan Ya who harmed her. Pei Wen Xuan quickly comes to persuade Li Rong, and asks Shang Guan Ya to leave first.
Li Rong asks Su Rong Qing to come as soon as possible, Li Rong doesn't know if her fate is already predetermined, or if it's already impossible to change, but she also doesn't dare to put all her bets on Li Chuan. Pei Wen Xuan also has Jing Lan write a note, and informs that it must not be given to Li Rong, as the fact that Li Rong is pregnant cannot be told to anyone.
At this time, Su Rong Qing and Su Rong Hua encounter an ambush, Su Rong Hua tells her brother to go first, Su Rong Qing feels that it may be Pei Wen Xuan who is behind this, as she has been by Li Rong's side all this time.
