A Dream of Splendor Episode 25 Recap
> A Dream of Splendor Recap
After dozens of rounds, the leader gradually fell into a disadvantage. His face covering then fell off, and Gu Qianfan discovered that the person was Commander Cui. Because of Gu Qianfan's identity and his insistence on protecting Xiao Qinyan, Commander Cui led his men to silence them, and while Gu Qianfan was distracted, he raised his long sword and attacked a vital point.
Just as Xiao Qinyan was about to rush forward to fight Commander Cui head-on, Gu Qianfan held a wooden branch and stabbed Commander Cui in the neck, causing him to die on the spot. Gu Qianfan was severely wounded because of this. What followed was a raging fire on the painted boat. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Xiao Wei quickly ran to the window and shouted for help, attracting the surrounding residents who rushed to the bridge.
Zhao Pan'er heard Gu Qianfan's name and immediately pulled a rope and threw it towards the painted boat, attempting a rescue. Unfortunately, Zhao Pan'er did not have enough strength, so others came over to help, and they finally dragged the painted boat to the dock. Seeing Gu Qianfan poisoned and unconscious, Zhao Pan'er fired a flare into the air, calmly and carefully treated his wounds, repeatedly squeezing out poisoned blood, and applied honey to stop the bleeding.
Xiao Qinyan was already in complete disarray, so when he saw Zhao Pan'er treating the wounds in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but admire her in his heart. Chen Lian arrived with people in time. Zhao Pan'er simply explained the situation and prepared to go home to wait for news. No matter the outcome, she hoped Chen Lian would come to inform her.
After everyone gradually dispersed, Zhao Pan'er could no longer bear it, and she collapsed onto the ground, tears streaming down her face. Only after her emotions gradually calmed down did she hurry home, having no mood left to deal with the concern from Ge Zhaodi and Sun Sanniang. At this time, Song Yinzhang did not notice Zhao Pan'er's unusual state.
She even wanted Zhao Pan'er to invite Gu Qianfan over for a few drinks at their home on her behalf to express her gratitude, but Zhao Pan'er was unwilling to pay much attention and resolutely refused Song Yinzhang. After the imperial physician's treatment, Gu Qianfan's life was finally saved. He immediately ordered Chen Lian to inform Qi Mu, and then fell into a coma again.
Lei Jing, fearing Xiao Qinyan's blame, specifically instructed the imperial physician to ensure Gu Qianfan was safe and sound, without any mistakes. Although Zhao Pan'er was concerned about Gu Qianfan's safety, she still pulled herself together to go to Half-Covered Face to work. Song Yinzhang, on the other hand, was sulking over the events of last night and simply found an excuse to go on strike.
Because the dog days of summer in Tokyo were unbearably hot, Zhao Pan'er personally went to buy ice. Unexpectedly, Chi Yanei interfered, strictly ordering the ice shops not to deal with Zhao Pan'er. Because of this, Zhao Pan'er could only go back and think of another solution. Upon hearing that Song Yinzhang was not coming to Half-Covered Face and there was no shaved ice to relieve the heat, the literati and scholars also stopped frequenting the place.
Sun Sanniang took Ge Zhaodi and split into two groups. By chance, they saw Du Changfeng being bullied by students. In a fit of anger, she rushed directly to the academy to demand an explanation, and scolded the unruly children in front of the headmaster, forcing them to apologize to Du Changfeng. Through this incident, Du Changfeng was extremely grateful to Sun Sanniang and thanked her repeatedly along the riverbank.
Sun Sanniang got the idea to tease him and half-jokingly asked Du Changfeng for money. Unexpectedly, Du Changfeng obediently complied. At the same time, Ge Zhaodi was buying things by the shore when she unexpectedly encountered her greedy mother. In a panic, she threw down a few copper coins and only then found an opportunity to escape. Sun Sanniang knew that Du Changfeng was not blind from birth, but that it was entirely due to later causes.
She had also encountered many similar situations before, so she gave Du Changfeng a suggestion: buy pig lungs to take home and eat them continuously for thirty days, and there would definitely be an improvement. Du Changfeng did not know how to cook, and Sun Sanniang did not explain it in detail. He was also half-skeptical about this. After a night passed, Gu Qianfan's condition still showed no improvement. Xiao Qinyan found a miracle doctor from the palace.
This person was skilled in using golden needles, and sure enough, he made Gu Qianfan regain consciousness. Chen Lian reported to Gu Qianfan the matters he had instructed him to do last night. Qi Mu did not care about Gu Qianfan's condition, but instead asked when Commander Cui had died and if Xiao Qinyan was still alive. It was not until his thirty-sixth sentence that he asked about Gu Qianfan's injuries.
Song Yinzhang threw the food that Sun Sanniang had kindly brought to her onto the ground. Sun Sanniang opened her mouth to ask what she meant. Song Yinzhang hurriedly tried to pick up the bowl from the ground, but Sun Sanniang slapped her hand away and deliberately mocked her, saying that if she injured the hand she used to play the pipa, she would blame them again!
Just because everyone said a few unpleasant words, she sulked and refused to go to Half-Covered Face. Song Yinzhang opened her mouth and said she was unwell, but Sun Sanniang said that Zhao Pan'er was the one who was truly unwell. Yesterday, when Zhao Pan'er came back, she was staggering, but she still went to the teahouse today as usual.
Sun Sanniang felt it wasn't worth it for Zhao Pan'er and stated frankly that she was a rough person who didn't understand their refined tastes, but she only knew that Zhao Pan'er had specifically instructed her, knowing that Song Yinzhang struggled in the summer heat, to prepare more refreshing food. Sun Sanniang also said that Zhao Pan'er's surname was Zhao and Song Yinzhang's surname was Song, and Zhao Pan'er doesn't owe Song Yinzhang anything.
Upon realizing that he was a pawn being used by Qi Mu, Gu Qianfan became completely disheartened. He then, accompanied by Chen Lian, personally came to Half-Covered Face. Zhao Pan'er wept tears of joy, rushing forward to hug Gu Qianfan. This scene happened to be seen by Song Yinzhang. Recalling past events, Song Yinzhang finally understood the relationship between the two.
By chance, she also learned from Sun Sanniang the news that Zhao Pan'er and Gu Qianfan were about to get married. These words greatly shocked Song Yinzhang. She never expected that everyone knew about their relationship, but she was the only one kept in the dark. Considering this point, Song Yinzhang turned around and got on a boat, claiming to go to Shuangxi Tower to find Zhang Haohao. In reality, she didn't want to face Sun Sanniang.
Carefully recalling what Shen Ruzuo had said before, she immediately changed direction and went to Changle Fang Left Street. Shen Ruzuo knew that Song Yinzhang had come uninvited and was immediately overjoyed. At Song Yinzhang's request, he repeated his vows of eternal love, stating that she was a pearl and jade, and should not fall into the muddy marketplace. He promised to sincerely cherish her from now on. Song Yinzhang obviously believed him and made up her mind to spend the rest of her life with Shen Ruzuo. The two embraced tightly.
