To Get Her Episode 11 Recap
> To Get Her Recap
Lin Zhen'er found herself imprisoned, a situation that deeply infuriated Tu Siyi. He expressed his anger, questioning why Lin Zhen'er had sacrificed herself without his permission after promising to heed his words. Shen Daifu attempted to calm him, suggesting that Lin Zhen'er was intelligent and wouldn't act without certainty. Cui Xun echoed the sentiment, urging Tu Siyi to remain composed.
Tu Siyi, however, pushed them away, distressed that he could do nothing to help Lin Zhen'er until Li Changxiu was found. Shen Daifu tried to reassure him about the imperial prison, citing historical records that important persons confined there were usually treated with respect. Tu Siya, present at the time, naively chimed in, fantasizing about the imperial prison's comfortable environment and good food, even suggesting that Lin Zhen'er might gain weight.
Her optimistic view was abruptly shattered when a maid, seizing an opportunity, grimly stated that no one leaves the imperial prison alive and that Lin Zhen'er, being delicate, might already be suffering at the hands of cruel criminals, perhaps even torn into pieces. This news further agitated Tu Siyi, who, despite Cui Xun's plea for calm, declared he would not be stopped and commanded his companions to depart immediately for Yuanri State.
Meanwhile, Tu Siya, left behind at the mansion, was determined to rescue Lin Zhen'er. Learning from a maid that committing a crime was the only way to enter the imperial prison, she set out to commit minor offenses in the streets. When palace guards approached, she challenged them, insisting that laws applied equally to all. The guards informed her that her actions were not severe enough for the imperial prison, suggesting murder, arson, or assaulting officials.
Unable to commit the first two, Tu Siya opted to attack the guards. The guards, fearing punishment if they harmed a princess, feigned injury, praising her "masterful" martial arts. Tu Siya, unaware of their ruse, lamented her own "superior skills" for failing to be arrested. Tu Siyi, Shen Daifu, and Cui Xun pressed on towards Yuanri State, Tu Siyi growing increasingly impatient and worried for Lin Zhen'er.
Shen Daifu urged him to rest the horses, but Tu Siyi was resolute, determined to reach Li Changxiu quickly. He noted that Tu Siya was still asleep when they left, allowing their escape. During a brief rest, Shen Daifu playfully asked Cui Xun if he intended to marry Tu Siya. Cui Xun dismissed the idea, stating they were like brothers and that Tu Siya’s husband needed to be an extraordinary and open-minded man. Their conversation then turned to Li Changxiu.
Shen Daifu expressed caution, advising them to be careful, though he noted Li Changxiu appeared polite. Cui Xun, however, strongly disagreed, stating there were no truly polite people and describing Li Changxiu as crafty and with sinister intentions. Tu Siyi concurred, even vowing to cut off Li Changxiu's hand if he refused to hand over the "Ode to Lvqi." Upon arriving in Yuanri State, Cui Xun summoned his network of spies.
They quickly reviewed Li Changxiu's recent activities, learning that he had been seen practicing sword at Jiming Square, writing poetry on Jingting Mountain, helping an elderly man cross the road, and delivering food to disaster victims. Their crucial finding was that Li Changxiu had entered Qiwei Teahouse two days prior and had not been seen leaving since. At the teahouse, Tu Siyi showed the proprietor a portrait of Li Changxiu, but the man claimed no recollection.
Cui Xun, confident in his spies' information, deduced that Li Changxiu must still be inside, likely in hiding, anticipating their arrival. As they sat, Shen Daifu discovered that their tea was poisoned with ragweed, an acute toxin. Before he could warn everyone, he accidentally drank some and collapsed, frothing at the mouth. An ambush leader then appeared, taunting Tu Siyi's group. A fierce battle erupted between Cui Xun, his spies, and the assassins.
Tu Siyi, seeing an opportunity, rushed upstairs, calling out for Li Changxiu. He encountered a hidden attacker, but Cui Xun arrived just in time to save him. Together, they found Li Changxiu unconscious and tied up, quickly rescuing him. Back in the imperial prison, Lin Zhen'er faced the Second Prince, who mockingly asked about her well-being. She maintained a defiant front, claiming to be fine. The Second Prince then accused her of betraying him.
Lin Zhen'er denied it, attempting to convince him that her actions in court, taking the blame for Tu Siyi, were an elaborate plan to protect him by proving Tu Siyi's innocence regarding the treasure and preventing their father from suspecting infighting among the princes. The Second Prince, however, saw through her facade, accusing her of having fallen for Tu Siyi.
Lin Zhen'er tried to reiterate that bringing Li Changxiu and the music score back would clear all misunderstandings, but the Second Prince ominously revealed that he had sent assassins to ensure Tu Siyi would not return alive. He then presented a pre-written confession, demanding Lin Zhen'er sign it, implicating Tu Siyi in treason, promising her mercy if she complied. Lin Zhen'er defiantly refused to sign. Lord He then prepared to torture her.
Just as Lord He began, Tu Siyi burst into the prison, having raced back to the capital with Li Changxiu. He immediately apologized to Lin Zhen'er for his delay, who, relieved and exhausted, fainted. Lord He, intimidated, protested Tu Siyi's "prison break," but Tu Siyi dismissed him, implying his friends would explain the situation. The next day, in the imperial court, Tu Siyi presented the "Ode to Lvqi" to the Emperor.
Cui Xun explained that the music score was a gift from Tu Siyi to the Empress Dowager, who had long admired his father's music. He clarified that the "treasure" mentioned in the accompanying letter was not the music score itself, but rather a "delicacy" that Lin Zhen'er had introduced him to. Lin Zhen'er stepped forward to explain her invention, "instant noodles," which only required hot water to prepare. The Second Prince scorned the idea, calling it merely a "noodle cake."
Lin Zhen'er then delivered an impassioned marketing speech, highlighting how instant noodles could solve problems ranging from hunger to loneliness. Skeptical, the Emperor ordered hot water. The Second Prince, still disbelieving, tried a bowl and couldn't stop eating until the entire bowl was gone. The Emperor, curious, found only soup left. Tu Siyi reiterated that neither he, Lin Zhen'er, nor Li Changxiu knew of any treasure map within the music score.
The Second Prince pressed, demanding proof that Tu Siyi hadn't taken any treasure. An old minister then revealed a crucial detail: the late Emperor had deliberately hidden a treasure map "within" the "Ode to Lvqi" to prevent it from being used for nefarious purposes, and it could only be retrieved by burning the music score. Tu Siyi then used this revelation to turn the tables, exposing Lord He's actions.
He informed the Emperor that when he arrived at the imperial prison, Lord He was torturing Lin Zhen'er, which was a clear attempt to extract a false confession. The Emperor was enraged by the private punishment of the princess. The Second Prince, quick to minimize his involvement, intervened, offering to handle the "trifle" himself and ordered Lord He to be severely punished, effectively sacrificing his subordinate to protect himself. Following the dramatic events, Lin Zhen'er was safe.
That evening, she and Tu Siyi walked in the palace courtyard, where she noticed his quiet demeanor. She asked if he was upset about her taking the blame. Tu Siyi admitted his fear, saying she shouldn't have risked her life alone and imagining what might have happened if he hadn't returned in time with Li Changxiu. Lin Zhen'er reassured him, asking if he was injured during his journey.
Tu Siyi dismissed his own hardships as unimportant, emphasizing that her safety was paramount. He confessed that this experience had deeply affected him. He then vowed to Lin Zhen'er that he would strive to become the Crown Prince and ascend the throne. He explained that only by becoming powerful could he truly protect her, even if it meant sacrificing his own freedom. Lin Zhen'er understood, acknowledging his difficult path, and affirmed her belief in him. Tu Siyi reaffirmed his commitment, stating he could not bear to lose her again.
