Resumen del episodio 3 de The Four
> Resúmenes de The Four
Having refused to enter the palace as a concubine, Chu Yingxue traveled with the Four Famous Constables towards Shenhou Mansion. Along the way, she feigned exhaustion and tried to trick Lengxue by questioning their direction and accusing him of personal revenge, leading to her being called a "cold-blooded animal." Zhui Ming and Tie Shou, recalling her earlier cunning in trapping Lengxue, insisted she continue on foot.
Later, Wúqíng offered her food, which she found distasteful, and she was then placed in a cloth bag for transport, which she loudly complained about, referring to the innkeeper and the Four Famous Constables as worse than pigs. During their journey, they passed by carts carrying other show girls, destined either for guard duty at Zhaoling tomb or for execution due to illicit affairs.
The sight moved Wúqíng and Tie Shou, who felt deeply for these unfortunate women, especially when they considered Chu Yingxue's own dire fate. Lengxue, however, staunchly maintained that their duty was to uphold the law, and her personal outcome was irrelevant. Overhearing these discussions, Chu Yingxue became increasingly desperate, vowing to escape. Zhui Ming jokingly suggested sending her to the Chunhua Building, a brothel, which terrified her further.
Eventually, the Four Famous Constables decided their best course of action was to hide her in Shenhou Mansion as a maid, provided she adopted a new identity. Lengxue instructed Chu Yingxue to forget her old name and choose one that would allow her to survive. A flashback showed her mother teaching her a verse, "Mo Shang grass is lush, will old friends return or not?" From this, she chose the name Chu Limo.
To smuggle her into Shenhou Mansion, they placed her inside the cloth bag. At the entrance, guards stopped them, demanding inspection due to recent unrest in the capital. Zhui Ming cleverly claimed the bag contained "Gui Jianchou," a notorious thief who practiced "yin-yang art," becoming male by day and female by night. Chu Limo, from inside the bag, played along with a feminine voice, convincing the guards to let them pass.
Zhui Ming later jokingly informed Chu Limo that the bag was typically used as a "corpse bag" for transporting bodies. Once inside, the Four Famous Constables discussed the challenge of settling Chu Limo as a maid under Liu Chunping, the formidable maid manager. Tie Shou proposed a "beauty trick," leveraging Liu Chunping's known affections for Wúqíng and Lengxue. Wúqíng was chosen for the task.
Initially, Liu Chunping was dismissive of Zhui Ming's request, calling him a playboy and questioning the girl's background. However, when Wúqíng intervened, addressing her respectfully as "Sister Chunping" and explaining that Chu Limo was an orphaned servant's daughter from his hometown, Liu Chunping was visibly flattered and quickly agreed to take Chu Limo in.
Later, Zhui Ming teased Wúqíng about his encounter with Liu Chunping, but Wúqíng denied anything intimate occurred, and Zhui Ming remarked that Wúqíng "has someone else in his heart." Meanwhile, the Four Famous Constables reported Chu Yingxue's supposed death by falling off a cliff, presenting her Xiupai as proof to Zhuge Zhengwo, who took responsibility for the incident.
Zhuge then revealed that while they were away, a major incident had occurred: all prisoners in the capital's jails, including the high-security sky jail, had vanished overnight without a trace. Despite vigilant watch by jailers and investigations by Six Doors, no clues were found, leading Commander Han Long to attribute it to divine punishment. Tie Shou dismissed the sorcery theory, citing historical texts about advanced illusions.
He deduced that someone with such capabilities and the power to command martial arts masters must harbor rebellious ambitions. Zhuge Zhengwo suspected An Shigeng, whose white hair was a stark reminder of his profound grief over his beloved Diewu. Diewu, who worked as a courtesan, had died, prompting An Shigeng to withdraw from public life in self-imposed confinement. Zhuge decided to seek a meeting with An Shigeng.
Alone in her new quarters at Shenhou Mansion, Chu Limo yearned for her mother, lamenting her current state as a maid with no escape. In a flashback, Lengxue visited Yaohua, inquiring about her health. Yaohua expressed a feeling of growing distance between them, which Lengxue attributed to their maturity.
She reminded him of an injury he sustained three years prior and, fearing she might not recover to practice swordsmanship with him again, conveyed her deepest wish for his safety, reaffirming her unwavering affection for him. Lengxue reassured her and gave her a wolf tooth pendant amulet for protection. Yaohua felt the amulet was returning to its rightful owner, but Lengxue insisted she keep it. Yaohua expressed happiness that they were "back to the way they were."
Later, a servant delivered an invitation to An Shigeng from Zhuge Zhengwo of Shenhou Mansion for a banquet the next day. An Shigeng, noting the sixteen years that had passed, anticipated meeting Zhuge Zhengwo again, while mournfully reflecting on his lost love, Diewu, through a melancholic song.
