I'm a Pet At Dali Temple Episode 19 Recap
> I'm a Pet At Dali Temple Recap
After the truth about his birth came to light, the Emperor was pleased when Qing Moyan began calling him "father." Meanwhile, in the imperial prison, the Noble Consort received a visit from the Crown Prince. She berated him for having previously saved Lord Qing, which allowed Qing Moyan to gather evidence against her.
Despite her current predicament, the Noble Consort remained unconcerned about Qing Moyan potentially usurping the Crown Prince's position, asserting that Qing Moyan was afflicted with the King of Poison and would not live much longer. She then instructed the Crown Prince to capture Ru Xiaolan. Once Ru Xiaolan transformed into her cat form, the Noble Consort planned to use her scent gland as a medicinal ingredient to expel all the Gu poison from her own body.
Back at Dali Temple, Ru Xiaolan diligently prepared medicine for Qing Moyan. He, in turn, chided her for risking her life in her earlier attempt to detoxify him. Ru Xiaolan assured him that she was willing to die with him if it meant helping him. Moved by her devotion, Qing Moyan made her promise never to put herself in such danger again, a promise she accepted, and the two shared a tender embrace.
Soon after, Chang Hen expressed her gratitude to Ru Xiaolan for the peach wood charm, which had protected her from Qingfeng's attack. She then requested permission to visit her father, Qingfeng, in prison. Qing Moyan visited Qingfeng in the imperial prison, hoping to learn how to completely eradicate the King of Poison.
Qingfeng claimed ignorance, stating that his master and Qing Huan had worked together to eliminate the Gu King, and he was not fully privy to the details of their process. Disappointed by the lack of specific information, Qing Moyan was then intrigued when Qingfeng mentioned that Ru Xiaolan's Yin Yang magic bore a strong resemblance to his master's. Consumed by resentment over his mother's demotion, the Crown Prince harbored deep hatred for Qing Moyan.
He feared that Qing Moyan, now favored by the Emperor, posed a significant threat to his own position as heir, leaving him restless and unable to sleep at night. As Qing Moyan departed the prison, an unusual celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky. Far away in the modern world, Ru Xiaolan's grandfather observed the same strange omen, understanding it to signify the imminent emergence of the Gu King.
Recognizing that it was time for Ru Xiaolan, the Soul-Resisting Cat, to fulfill her destiny, he decided to leave the modern era. Meanwhile, Ru Xiaolan attempted to cook a special meal for Qing Moyan to celebrate their monthly anniversary, but her culinary efforts resulted in a disastrous outcome. Chang Hen and Xuan Yu, upon seeing the charred remains, joked darkly about Qing Moyan's impending "death anniversary."
Qing Moyan, however, was touched by Ru Xiaolan's effort and bravely tried her dish, causing her to apologize for the unexpected difficulty of her grandpa's simple-looking recipe. During their tender interaction, Qing Moyan recalled Qingfeng's words and inquired about her grandpa's Yin Yang magic, specifically asking who taught him. Ru Xiaolan replied that her grandfather was self-taught, having no master. Suddenly, Wusi, the Noble Consort's master, appeared in her prison cell.
The Noble Consort pleaded with him to save her son, the Crown Prince. Wusi sternly rebuked her, stating that she was experiencing the consequences of her own selfish actions, particularly for killing Qing Huan, and this was her karma. The Crown Prince, who was also present, was visibly surprised by Wusi's unexpected appearance. Later, while walking through the city streets, Xuan Yu asked Chang Hen about her future plans.
Chang Hen confessed that her heart belonged to someone in Dali Temple, and thus, she intended to remain there indefinitely. Xuan Yu, misinterpreting her words, became secretly pleased, believing Chang Hen harbored romantic feelings for him. The Crown Prince then intercepted Qing Moyan on the street and extended an invitation for him and Ru Xiaolan to join him for drinks.
Having obtained 'gu-luring' powder from Wusi, the Crown Prince secretly laced the wine, intending to activate Qing Moyan's poison and arrest him under a legitimate pretext. However, Ru Xiaolan explained that a doctor had forbidden Qing Moyan from consuming alcohol and bravely volunteered to drink in his place, thereby inadvertently saving Qing Moyan from the Crown Prince's trap.
Afterward, Ru Xiaolan presented Qing Moyan with a drawing depicting the two of them as an old couple, living in seclusion in the mountains, surrounded by their children. Deeply moved by her vision of their future together, Qing Moyan declared his intention to seek the Emperor's permission to marry her.
