The Princess Wei Young Episode 32 Recap
> The Princess Wei Young Recap
An imperial physician gravely informed the Crown Princess that Tuoba Jun, the Prince of Gaoyang, had sustained severe chest and abdomen wounds. While earlier treatment might have ensured recovery, the delay now meant his survival depended entirely on his will. Distraught, the Crown Princess implored the physician to save her son, stating she could only rely on him. Soon after, Li Changle, the First Daughter of the Li family, arrived, expressing deep worry for Tuoba Jun.
She earnestly requested permission to remain at the Prince's side until he recovered, despite being an unmarried woman, and the Crown Princess, moved by her devotion, granted her wish. A palace attendant then announced the Emperor's imminent arrival to visit Tuoba Jun. As the Crown Princess and Li Changle went to receive His Imperial Majesty, Li Weiyang, Princess Anping, emerged from the crowd, pleading to be allowed to see the Prince of Gaoyang.
The Crown Princess vehemently rejected her, but the Emperor, acknowledging Weiyang's strategic brilliance in burning the Song army's rations and her role in bringing Tuoba Jun back safely, permitted her to enter the manor. Inside, Tuoba Jun's condition worsened, his body growing cold. The Imperial Physician urged immediate massage to unblock his blood vessels, warning of dire consequences otherwise.
Weiyang stepped forward, offering to try her unique massage technique, which she had discovered effective on Tuoba Jun during their journey back. Despite the Crown Princess's initial distrust, the Imperial Physician's dire warning prompted her to allow Weiyang to proceed. Weiyang's efforts visibly improved Tuoba Jun's symptoms, leading the Emperor to formally ask her to stay and continue caring for him, a request Weiyang readily accepted, much to Li Changle's seething anger and thinly veiled attempts to undermine her.
Still resentful, Li Changle ordered her maid, Tanxiang, to secretly drug Weiyang's food, causing Weiyang to fall into a deep, feverish sleep. Soon after, Tuoba Jun's condition took a turn for the worse again, his body becoming alarmingly cold. The Imperial Physician immediately called for Princess Anping, stressing that her specific experience was crucial. A maid, sent to summon Weiyang, discovered her unconscious and feverish in bed. Imperial Physician Liu, with his exceptional skill, revived Weiyang with acupuncture.
Despite her own weakened state, Weiyang, once roused, rushed to Tuoba Jun's side, disregarding her own health to diligently apply her healing massage. The Crown Princess observed Weiyang's unwavering dedication but still harbored suspicions about her true intentions. In the garden, Li Changle angrily confronted her maid, Tanxiang, about the drug's potency, wondering why Weiyang had awakened so easily.
Tanxiang, terrified, insisted the drug was potent, crediting Imperial Physician Liu's exceptional skill for reviving Weiyang and expressing fear that Tuoba Jun's life would have been endangered had Weiyang not recovered. Unbeknownst to them, the Crown Princess and Qiuyi overheard their entire conversation, unequivocally exposing Changle's malicious scheme. Meanwhile, Tuoba Jun finally stirred, awakened by Weiyang's persistent calls.
He dimly recalled a familiar sensation of being cared for, reminiscent of an earlier time when he was injured in a hunting trap. He questioned Weiyang if she was his caregiver during both instances, and she confirmed it, much to his joy, realizing her true identity and exposing Changle's past deceit. Weiyang then departed to inform the Crown Princess of his recovery.
Overjoyed, the Crown Princess later explained to Tuoba Jun that she had sent Weiyang back to her manor for recuperation, deeming it inappropriate for an unmarried woman to continuously stay in his room, though she assured him Weiyang was well and could visit him whenever she wished. Later, Changru discovered the waistband she had personally given to Tuoba Yu, the Prince of Nan'an, discarded, despite his previous assurance that he would always wear it.
Deeply wounded and feeling her affections were wasted, she unjustly blamed Weiyang for her predicament. During their conversation, Weiyang innocently commented on Tuoba Yu's outwardly reserved but inwardly kind nature, sharing how he had initially seemed indifferent to a protection amulet she had given him but later carried it with him. Hearing this, Changru’s hurt transformed into intense jealousy.
She silently vowed to reclaim Tuoba Yu's heart, convinced that she was his most important woman and determined to eliminate any rival. Consumed by her resolve, Changru devised a plan to retrieve a crucial document from Tuoba Yu. She orchestrated a visit to the Prince of Nan'an's manor under the guise of delivering a letter. There, she feigned a severe headache, persuading the staff to allow her to rest overnight in a guest room.
Later that night, chaos erupted as a fire broke out, followed by the intrusion of highly skilled assassins. Changru, who had secretly arranged for a petty thief to start a diversionary fire, quickly deduced that the additional intruders were likely General Chiyun Nan's men, who were also seeking the very document she was after.
Seizing the opportunity amidst the double chaos, Changru slipped into Tuoba Yu's study and successfully retrieved the memorial written by Ma Jun, the late governor of Zhangye City, detailing Chiyun Nan's crimes. She regarded this as a significant step forward in her ambitious scheme. Changru later sought out Weiyang, who, noticing her preoccupation, gently inquired if she harbored feelings for anyone. Changru admitted to a profound affection for a mysterious "older brother" she had met in her youth.
She recounted a painful childhood memory of being disciplined and feeling neglected compared to her older sister. This "older brother" had then told her that no one is born to be bullied and that they must become stronger to make those who wronged them pay back a hundredfold. She had never seen him again until recently, when she learned he was the newly conferred Prince of Nan'an.
Since then, she had been deeply infatuated, vowing to marry him and eliminate anyone who stood in her way. Unaware of the true object of Changru's affection, Weiyang wished her well in finding her true love. However, Changru, now fully consumed by her ambition, secretly declared Weiyang her greatest enemy.
