Episode 24 recap: Yun Shu and Song Huan-bei Set a Trap for Shen Lan
In episode 24, Yun Shu went to confront Song Huan-bei early in the morning, angry that he was keeping something from her, but Song avoided the issue of the Cloud family army getting into trouble. Frustrated, Yun Shu stormed out. Song quickly followed to comfort her, not wanting her to go to the border region.
However, Yun Shu had already realized they were being watched, so she and Song deliberately put on an act. Soon, Shen Lan found out about Yun Shu's plan to rescue the Cloud family army, which confirmed his suspicions in Shen Lan's eyes. Shen Lan saw this as an opportunity to make the most of the situation. Yun Shu had Qian Yan guard the door so no one could enter, but Song pushed his way in despite the guard's attempts to stop him.
It turned out Yun Shu and Song had been performing the whole time, just for the spy Shen Lan had placed. After discussing their strategy, Song pretended Yun Shu had chased him out. Shen Lan went to see Yun Shi, wanting to see him one last time before heading to the border to rescue the Cloud army. But Yun Shi refused to let him in, even as Shen Lan recounted the story of how Yun Shi had once saved his life as a child. Shen Lan left a box at the door, hoping Yun Shi would feel the same longing for him as he did.
As Shen Lan turned to leave for the border, his maid Yue'er worried it was a trap. But Shen Lan believed that great fortune lies in great risk, so to win the loyalty of the Cloud army, he needed to go fight, leaving Yue'er behind as a spy in the court.
