Episode 26 recap: Han Zi Qing's Recovery
In Episode 26, Bai Li Wei Sheng struggles to bring Li Ge to Lao Sha's territory. Coincidentally, before leaving, Jun Bei Yue specifically instructed Lao Sha to focus solely on taking care of Han Zi Qing and not to accept any other patients. Naturally, Lao Sha wanted to close up shop, but Bai Li Wei Sheng was persistent. He knew Lao Sha was at a loss with difficult cases, so he kept pressing until Lao Sha finally relented and took a glance at Li Ge.
That glance turned into Lao Sha leading Li Ge inside and then leaving him to settle in. Seeing this, Bai Li Wei Sheng quickly reassured Li Ge that Lao Sha was an excellent doctor and would surely take good care of him. Meanwhile, Han Zi Qing's condition took a turn for the worse, and Shi Liang stayed by her side.
As night fell, Bai Li Wei Sheng dozed off, but Li Ge woke up and started to move around. In an unexpected turn, he stumbled upon the sleeping Han Zi Qing. Overcome with excitement, he made quite a noise, which alerted the guards, who immediately drew their weapons. Shi Liang hurried to explain that Li Ge was their savior.
Hearing the commotion, Lao Sha arrived looking distressed. He lamented that Li Ge's presence could spell trouble if the Fourth Prince found out. However, Li Ge was only focused on Han Zi Qing. Reluctantly, Lao Sha informed him that in order for the princess to fully recover, they would need to use the skin of a living person. Without hesitation, Li Ge offered his own skin. Lao Sha was appalled at the idea, but Li Ge, desperate, threatened his own life. Realizing that the death of the Eastern Ling Prince was a serious matter, Lao Sha had no choice but to agree.
Meanwhile, Chu Fei Yan had her sights set on Princess Qian Qian, but Jun Bei Yue had other plans. He intended to help Si Tu Hao Nan free Qian Qian. Jun Bei Yue saw through Chu Fei Yan’s schemes and decided to play a trick on her, leaking information that she would think would lead her to Han Zi Qing.
At this time, King Nan Zhao gathered everyone, announcing a grand sand ceremony. Jun Bei Yue made all the necessary arrangements and sent Si Tu Hao Nan on his way.
He was worried about Han Zi Qing and sent a shadow back to check on her while he stayed in Xi Ling.
Si Tu Hao Nan and his group successfully found Qian Qian, but Chu Fei Yan followed closely behind. Si Tu Hao Nan finally had the chance to face Qian Qian and poured out his feelings, expressing that he didn’t want her to marry Chu Tian Ge. With their hearts unburdened, they embraced tightly. Outside, Chu Fei Yan listened, infuriated, and slammed the door shut! Little did she know, this was all part of a scheme set by Jun Bei Yue.
Han Zi Qing finally opened her eyes. Bai Li Wei Sheng asked if she remembered what had happened before. The thought of her disfigured face troubled her deeply. Shi Liang handed her a bronze mirror, and when Han Zi Qing looked, she was stunned—her face had returned to normal! Lao Sha explained that it was a special human skin mask he had created, which looked completely real to others.
Han Zi Qing understood clearly who had sacrificed so much for her, but that person was no longer there. Bai Li Wei Sheng watched Han Zi Qing’s anxious expression, feeling a mix of emotions. After all, he had gone to the Eastern Sea to save her, but fate had twisted things into their current situation.
Jun Bei Yue intended to deal with Chu Fei Yan, but unexpectedly, she tried to drag him down with her, leaving him trapped. Meanwhile, Si Tu and Qian Qian seized the opportunity to escape. Just as they were about to be caught by Chu Tian Ge, Han Zi Qing arrived in time, blowing up the walls of Xi Ling and threatening Chu Tian Ge to reveal Jun Bei Yue’s whereabouts.
In a final act of defiance, she blew up the entire cave. Chu Fei Yan narrowly escaped, only to run directly into Han Zi Qing, still maintaining her haughty demeanor. At that moment, Jun Bei Yue appeared, and without hesitation, kicked her, delivering a satisfying blow!
