The Four Episode 25 Recap
> The Four Recap
Leng Xue is deeply affected by Chu Limo's apparent fall off a cliff, isolating himself in his room, missing her, and remaining silent and distant towards others. The Shenhou Mansion is exceptionally bleak during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as everyone is distressed by the unknown fates of Wu Qing, Ji Yaohua, and Chu Limo. Zhui Ming and other constables burn paper money in the courtyard, praying for the three missing individuals.
Despite it being the full moon, Leng Xue's wolf venom does not flare up. That night, Leng Xue encounters An Shigeng, who attempts to kill him. Nu Nu suddenly appears, interposing herself to block An Shigeng's fatal palm strike and save Leng Xue. Mortally wounded, Nu Nu urges Leng Xue not to forget the Wolf Tribe's hatred and to avenge his people before she dies.
Leng Xue, distraught, wants to take her back to Shenhou Mansion for treatment, but Nu Nu knows her time is short and dies in his presence. Meanwhile, Chu Limo finds herself in the Qingge Tribe. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a homesick Chu Limo sits on the grass, gazing at the moon, missing Leng Xue and her friends from Shenhou Mansion. Moerchi joins her, and Chu Limo recounts the family reunion traditions of Central Plains festivals.
Moerchi, upon becoming Crown Prince, joyously announces his intention to marry his sister Muxue to Chu Limo. Muxue, knowing Chu Limo is a woman, objects. Initially, Moerchi believes Muxue's objection stems from her own fondness for Chu Limo and asks for her support. With no other option, Muxue reveals Chu Limo's true female identity. Moerchi is surprised by this revelation. Despite learning the truth, Moerchi doesn't blame Chu Limo; instead, he becomes good friends with her and shows great care.
Her image lingers in his mind, leading Muxue to conclude he has fallen in love with Chu Limo. Moerchi even confesses his love for Chu Limo to Muxue. Chu Limo decides to leave the Qingge Tribe. However, Moerchi, who is to hold his enthronement ceremony in ten days, is reluctant for her to leave. Muxue also helps persuade Chu Limo to stay until the ceremony, to which Chu Limo eventually agrees.
During a walk (or intended visit to the granary) with Chu Limo, Moerchi and Chu Limo encounter three masked assassins. One assassin throws a scimitar, cutting the cloth binding Chu Limo's hair and revealing her female features. Moerchi reveals he already knew she was a woman and expresses his special affection, intending to find an opportunity to announce her female identity to the entire Qingge Tribe.
In a separate incident, Ling Yiyi is seen practicing her skills with venomous insects in her room. Ye'er, upon entering, mistakenly believes Ling Yiyi has been bitten and proceeds to kill the crawling insects, much to Ling Yiyi's dismay. Ye'er later returns to serve Leng Xue, who is still despondent over Chu Limo. Ye'er recounts her experience of witnessing Ling Yiyi being "bitten" by the insects.
Leng Xue, preoccupied with his own concerns, instructs Ye'er not to meddle in others' affairs. Ji Yaohua later returns safely to Shenhou Mansion. One day, as Leng Xue and Ji Yaohua are about to leave for an errand, Princess Ziluo attempts to prevent Leng Xue from departing. Leng Xue takes advantage of the moment when Zhui Ming tries to reason with Princess Ziluo and quietly slips away. Enraged, Princess Ziluo orders Zhui Ming to pursue Leng Xue.
