Mengfei Comes Across Episode 28 Recap
> Mengfei Comes Across Recap
The Emperor ultimately decided to appoint Chen Yuanxi to lead troops to the border. Concerns had been voiced about sending a lady to war, suggesting a lack of suitable men. When Bu Meng visited her, Chen Yuanxi revealed that Xu Fang had secretly impeached her to ensure her safety, as he feared for her as a woman on the battlefield. Despite Bu Meng's probing questions about her feelings for Bu Yue, Chen Yuanxi continued to evade the topic.
Meanwhile, Bu Yue was tormented by a vivid nightmare of the battlefield. He saw his subordinates fall one by one, leaving him as the sole survivor. As he fought valiantly, Chen Yuanxi arrived to save him. However, instead of gratitude, he chastised her for her tardiness. An enemy soldier then ambushed Bu Yue, and Chen Yuanxi shielded him with her body, taking the fatal blow and spitting blood before she died.
Bu Yue awoke from the nightmare in a cold sweat, trembling with fear. Later, Bu Meng and her friends were chatting. They all agreed that Chen Yuanxi and Bu Yue were truly in love, even though they wouldn't admit it to each other. Their conversation was interrupted by a frantic servant bringing grave news: General Chen’s situation at the border was critical. Enemy forces had burned her provisions and cut off all communication.
Deeply worried for Chen Yuanxi’s safety, Bu Meng rushed to the Emperor. The Emperor informed her that he had already dispatched emergency troops with supplies. However, Bu Yue had defied imperial orders, insisting on personally overseeing the supply shipment. The Emperor denied his request and asked Bu Meng to reason with her brother, urging him not to cause further trouble.
Bu Meng found her brother in a desperate state outside the palace, clearly distressed, knowing he was worried about Chen Yuanxi's safety. She relentlessly questioned Bu Yue, asking why he hadn't cherished her when she was right in front of him, and instead repeatedly went against her, only now showing concern. Bu Yue was speechless. Soon after, devastating news reached the palace: Chen Yuanxi had died in battle.
Bu Yue heard that Chen Yuanxi's body could not be found, and was overcome with immense grief. Bu Meng also fainted from shock. Bu Yue personally led a search party to the battlefield to recover Chen Yuanxi’s body. Eventually, a subordinate brought word that a body had been found, but her face was disfigured beyond recognition by the intense battle. Convinced it was Chen Yuanxi, Bu Yue was overcome with grief and rage, crying out, "Chen Yuanxi!
Your life is mine! I didn't say you could die yet, so you're not allowed to die!" He swung his sword wildly, consumed by sorrow. On the day of Chen Yuanxi’s funeral, Bu Yue arrived, his steps heavy and his face stained with tears, ready to bid her farewell. He felt that her death was her ultimate revenge against him. Just as Bu Yue was choking out an apology to her, Chen Yuanxi suddenly appeared, alive and well.
She had returned because her maid, to protect her, had deliberately exchanged clothes with her and sacrificed her own life in the process. Later, Xu Fang hosted a banquet to welcome Chen Yuanxi back. Chen Yuanxi, knowing his family had canceled their engagement upon news of her death, felt a sting of unease.
She asked Xu Fang what he liked about her, but Xu Fang's answers were not to the point, making Chen Yuanxi begin to truly feel that he was unreliable. Bu Yue overheard Xu Fang and Chen Yuanxi's conversation, worried that the woman he longed for would be taken by someone else, so he quickly prepared a betrothal gift and sent it to Chen Yuanxi's home. Bu Yue then boldly entered Chen Yuanxi’s residence to propose, bringing betrothal gifts.
However, Chen Yuanxi mercilessly drove him out with her words. Bu Yue, truly desperate now, eagerly expressed his feelings, telling her how frantic and despairing he had been when he heard of her supposed sacrifice. Chen Yuanxi coldly rejected him and walked away. The following day, Chen Yuanxi was summoned by the Emperor. He informed her that after the morning court, two men had proposed marriage to her and asked for her decision.
Bu Yue, who was present, listened in dismay as Chen Yuanxi chose Xu Fang, leaving him utterly disappointed. On the day of the wedding, the Chen family estate buzzed with excitement. Chen Yuanxi, dressed in her crimson wedding gown, rode in the marriage sedan amidst everyone's blessings. Bu Yue, seated dejectedly in a corner, was ultimately conquered by love. He leaped onto his horse, determined to chase her back, and unexpectedly, Chen Yuanxi herself was also returning.
The two reunited and immediately presented themselves before the Emperor. After the Emperor put them through rigorous tests, the couple was finally united in marriage. On their wedding day, Bu Yue, overflowing with happiness, toasted guests at the wedding feast, his joyful expression apparent to all. Later, after the banquet, the Emperor visited the newlyweds. He heard the young couple in the bridal chamber had already resumed their playful "fighting mode," with sounds of a whip and Bu Yue screaming. The Emperor then, holding Bu Meng's shoulder, advised her not to adopt that couple's way of getting along.
