My Journey To You Episode 9 Recap
> My Journey To You Recap
Gong Ziyu attempted to experience the Cold Pool and entered an ice bucket for the trial, but ended up passing out from the cold. Fortunately, Yun Weishan arrived just in time to rescue him, otherwise his life would have been in danger. After waking up, Gong Ziyu learned that Yun Weishan had saved him. He suspected that Yun Weishan might have seen the secret script tattooed on his back.
Yun Weishan said she only saw his chest, and since they were husband and wife, it was no big deal. Yun Weishan was focused on helping Gong Ziyu pass the trial. She thought that a top-tier martial arts technique might help him overcome the first stage, which Jin Fan had mentioned was a test of inner power. Gong Ziyu said he had been practicing the "Melting Snow Mind Technique" since he was young because he had always feared the cold.
However, his cultivation of the technique was lacking. He recalled how his father forced him to train in freezing conditions, which he now realized was for his own good. Upon hearing this, Yun Weishan remembered her own life in Wufeng. She compared Han Yasi to her mother and shared her feelings with Gong Ziyu. She said that though parents show love in different ways, that love cannot be hidden. Gong Ziyu was moved and came to understand his father's intentions.
Yun Weishan suddenly came up with a way to rapidly boost Gong Ziyu’s inner power — using the Extreme Cold Poison to fight poison with poison. Gong Ziyu trusted Yun Weishan completely, but obtaining the Extreme Cold Poison was difficult since all poisons in the Gong family were managed by Gong Yuanzheng. Yun Weishan claimed that she had learned how to concoct the poison from Zhuo Mei and wanted to give it a try.
In truth, Yun Weishan also had a personal motive: she hoped to obtain gentian root to suppress the poison within her. Concerned that the Gong family's hidden guards might harm Yun Weishan, Gong Ziyu gave her a security map of the guards’ posts so she could avoid them. Yun Weishan was surprised by his trust. She took a lantern and headed to the medical hall, but was stopped by a hidden guard along the way.
Claiming she was fetching a calming remedy for Gong Ziyu, the guard let her through but urged her to return quickly. At the medical hall, Yun Weishan found the necessary herbs and also grabbed some to suppress her own internal poison before starting the preparation. Coincidentally, Gong Yuanzheng was also at the medical hall looking for Gong Ziyu's birth medical records. He discovered that the records were inaccurate. At that moment, he smelled someone concocting medicine and went to investigate.
Gong Yuanzheng held a blade to Yun Weishan and demanded to know the purpose of the poison she was preparing. Yun Weishan insisted she was making a calming remedy for Gong Ziyu. Gong Yuanzheng tried to trick her using the same parasite he once used to test Shangguan Qian, but Yun Weishan saw through the ruse. Gong Yuanzheng then made her drink the poison she had just made.
Yun Weishan did not hesitate and drank it — luckily, it could also suppress the poison within her. Gong Yuanzheng refused to let Yun Weishan leave. He attacked her to test her martial arts and even tried to kill her. Unexpectedly, Gong Ziyu and Jin Fan arrived in time and rescued Yun Weishan from his hands. Yun Weishan was touched to learn that Gong Ziyu had waited outside the medical hall out of concern for her.
She said the medicine was ready but was a bit short because Gong Yuanzheng had forced her to drink half of it. Gong Ziyu was worried and gave her his stock of Hundred Herbs Extract to detoxify her. Yun Weishan didn’t take it immediately but hid it in her sleeve. Gong Ziyu then took her hand, saying the roads were slippery in the dark and he’d lead her back to the Yu lineage. Yun Weishan felt warmth in her heart.
Gong Ziyu said that because he had always feared the cold, his hands were cold too — unlike Yun Weishan’s, which were warm. People say that warm hands reflect a warm heart. Yun Weishan commented that Gong Ziyu was someone who appeared cold but had a warm heart, opposite to herself. Gong Yuanzheng went to report to his brother about Yun Weishan concocting poison in the medical hall.
Gong Shangjue had already suspected Yun Weishan’s identity, believing she was not a true daughter of the Yun family. However, he had no evidence yet. Moreover, Gong Ziyu protected Yun Weishan wholeheartedly, so they needed to wait for the right time. Gong Ziyu took the medicine Yun Weishan prepared and recalled the martial arts chants his father had taught him in childhood. Gradually, he came to understand his father’s good intentions.
After recovering slightly, Gong Ziyu returned to the back mountain to continue the trial. He was in a good mood and exposed the identity swap between Young Master Xue and the Xue boy. Gong Yuanzheng went to Ming Wuji’s room to look for Lady Lan’s old medical records. After finding them, he encountered Jin Fan, who had come to see Ming Wuji.
Jin Fan was surprised to see Gong Yuanzheng and pretended not to notice, then waited outside to intercept him. They fought, and Gong Yuanzheng was no match for Jin Fan. Jin Fan seized half of the medical record, and Gong Yuanzheng fled in a panic. Back at the Gong residence, Gong Shangjue treated his brother’s wounds while discussing Jin Fan, suspecting he was no ordinary guard. Then, hearing a noise outside, they discovered Shangguan Qian, which raised Gong Shangjue’s suspicions.
Yun Weishan went to see Ming Wuji and asked if she had lost something. Ming Wuji immediately restrained her. From her moves, Yun Weishan deduced she was the Wufeng assassin “Nameless” hidden within the Gong family.
