> Resumos de The Four
Zhuge Zhengwo suspected Wen Ruyu possessed the imperial seal and might be heading to Longxi to deploy troops, so he dispatched the famous trappers and Chu Limo to Longxi to track him. Zhuge Zhengwo also informed Chu Limo about her mother, Bian Hongyao, who had previously gone to Longxi to rescue her attacked lover, expressing hope that Chu Limo might find her mother there, and entrusted her with Bian Hongyao's gauze cicada dress.
Leng Xue was reluctant for Chu Limo to face such danger and tried to persuade her against going, but Chu Limo remained determined. On the day of departure, Chu Limo, having overslept because her window was covered with black cloth, rushed to catch up at the very last moment. Princess Ziluo arrived outside Shenhou Mansion, demanding to join the expedition to Longxi. She presented an emperor's token/golden plaque to command the group.
Leng Xue initially refused but, unable to defy the imperial decree, was forced to comply, which drew envy from Zhui Ming. Princess Ziluo then seized the opportunity to share a horse with Leng Xue. As Chu Limo could not ride a horse, Wu Qing invited her to ride with him.
During the journey, Chu Limo fell asleep on Wu Qing's back, and Leng Xue, observing this, felt a pang of jealousy towards Wu Qing, realizing he had developed different feelings for Chu Limo and that Wu Qing could get along with her in a way he could not. Wen Ruyu, after successfully evading Yu Chuntong, intended to use Ru Yan, Princess Consort An, to threaten An Shigeng. Since Ru Yan was protected by experts, Wen Ruyu poisoned her.
He then demanded an unspecified item from Nu Nu, who was unaware of what he sought. Wen Ruyu subsequently dispatched Ling Yiyi to confront Nu Nu. Nu Nu, skilled in combat, defeated Ling Yiyi, who then feigned unconsciousness. Wen Ruyu, without assisting Ling Yiyi, departed with his subordinates. Shortly after they left, Ling Yiyi opened her eyes and rose. Upon arrival, the famous trappers discovered that many people in Prince An's Mansion had been poisoned.
They found Ru Yan imprisoned within a purple cage. Wu Qing immediately recognized her as his former beloved, with whom he had once shared a deep mutual love. Distraught, Wu Qing desperately tried to open the purple cage to rescue Ru Yan, but the cage proved exceptionally sturdy, impenetrable, and resistant to all attempts, including internal energy, which was repelled.
Wu Qing could only remain by the cage, caring for Ru Yan, who remained emotionless, refusing to eat the food he offered or to speak to him. Ling Yiyi revealed that Ru Yan was afflicted with a strange poison. Having feigned fainting and been abandoned by Wen Ruyu, Ling Yiyi confessed she did not know the antidote for Wen Ruyu's "Thousand Wonders and Hundred Scents" poison but could disclose the various poisons used in its composition.
Hearing this, Wu Qing resolved to seek Wen Ruyu for the antidote. To save Ru Yan, Leng Xue and the others decided to go to the mountains to gather several herbs known to counteract the poison. Princess Ziluo persistently clung to Leng Xue, obstructing his efforts to collect herbs. Leng Xue eventually left her at the foot of the mountain, assigning Zhui Ming the task of looking after the difficult princess.
Meanwhile, Chu Limo and Ji Yaohua were in the kitchen boiling medicine. Ji Yaohua reminisced to Chu Limo about her past relationship with Leng Xue, describing them as an ideal couple before Chu Limo joined Shenhou Mansion, and recalled their time solving cases and traveling together. She then acknowledged a change in her relationship with Leng Xue since Chu Limo's arrival, sensing that Chu Limo was likely gaining Leng Xue's affection.
