To Get Her Episode 13 Recap
> To Get Her Recap
The election for the Goodwill Ambassador began, with an official explaining the rules to the public. Lin Zhen'er encouraged Tu Siyi, assuring him of victory. The Second Prince, Tu Sicheng, spoke first, delivering a lengthy and complex speech about foreign policy, including the importance of "subduing enemies by the arm" when dealing with Huanyue State and mentioning borders with Xingchen and Haisu States. His words left the audience bored and unresponsive. Tu Sicheng even noted, "It sounds reasonable.
But why no one is listening? Maybe they are not professionals." Following this, Tu Siyi took the stage to a warm welcome, with the crowd chanting, "Little Wings!" He addressed them, encouraging a moment of quiet before presenting his vision: showing the Chuxing people's spirit to the visitors from Huanyue State, especially acknowledging "beautiful ladies" in the audience.
His engaging speech was met with enthusiastic applause, and during the voting, the public overwhelmingly raised white wings, symbolizing their support for Tu Siyi. Suddenly, a man with a broken leg stepped forward, accusing Lin Zhen'er, the Third Prince's consort, of many wrongdoings. He recounted how six months prior, she had ridden a horse recklessly, breaking his leg and then fleeing. Other citizens chimed in, recalling how she had framed a cloth merchant.
The crowd condemned Lin Zhen'er, questioning Tu Siyi's association with such a "malicious woman" and speculating that he might even wish to divorce her. Despite Lin Zhen'er's plea for him to leave her and her attempts to take responsibility, stating, "If you are not satisfied with me, just spill out your complaints to me. I will be responsible for everything that I did. Our Prince knew nothing about it," Tu Siyi descended from the platform.
He declared, "I will see who the hell dares to harm my wife," positioning himself in front of Lin Zhen'er, shielding her from the angry crowd. This act of protection caused the public to turn against him, with many immediately shouting their support for Tu Sicheng. Back home, Lin Zhen'er was filled with remorse, believing she had dragged Tu Siyi down. She apologized, lamenting that Tu Sicheng had won the election because of her.
Tu Siyi reassured her, "I would never think you were a burden to me. You are not the one before." When she asked why he still trusted her, he simply replied, "I don't know. There is a sound in my mind - I should always trust you." Lin Zhen'er's public actions inadvertently secured the Goodwill Ambassador title for Tu Sicheng. He later met with her, expressing remorse for her recent troubles.
Tu Sicheng revealed he had initially been confused by her actions but, upon reflection, praised her strategy. He believed she had cleverly feigned support for Tu Siyi while intentionally exposing her past notoriety to ensure his victory. " Bravo," he remarked. Lin Zhen'er subtly confirmed her manipulative intent, asking, "I know it's complicated and risking, so I chose to do it first and then reported the fact to you. Is that Okay?"
Tu Sicheng, now fully trusting her, declared their partnership would become "closer and firmer." He instructed her to "leave the way as it is" for now. His immediate priority was the upcoming birthday banquet for their father, which he saw as a critical opportunity to prove his competence and secure his position as Crown Prince. He told Lin Zhen'er to remain by Tu Siyi's side and continue monitoring him.
Lin Zhen'er assured him, "No worries, the Second Prince," but secretly vowed to herself, "I will surely not let you hold it successfully." The Emperor's birthday banquet began, with ambassadors from various states arriving. Tu Sicheng, to prevent Tu Siyi from greeting the guests, ordered him to serve as the Secretary of Writing, recording the gifts.
Tu Siyi initially resisted, pointing out that it was a clerk's duty, but Tu Sicheng, asserting his authority as Goodwill Ambassador, insisted that Tu Siyi was capable while the clerk was not. Tu Siyi, prioritizing the overall situation, reluctantly agreed. During the reception, the King of Huanyue State arrived with Princess Murong Qianyue. Murong Qianyue recognized Tu Siyi, who was standing behind Tu Sicheng, and realized he was the Third Prince.
She expressed her delight at their reunion, explaining that she had concealed her identity while traveling alone, a secret Tu Siyi had also kept. They agreed they were "even" now. The King of Huanyue was impressed by Tu Siyi, praising his "good appearance and great responsibility" and his hands-on approach, seeing it as a sign of his care for his people. Tu Sicheng quickly interjected, urging everyone to move inside to rest.
Tu Siyi later informed Lin Zhen'er that at the upcoming appreciation banquet, he would be tasked with distributing gifts while Tu Sicheng would announce the names of the foreign envoys. Lin Zhen'er realized this was an opportunity, knowing that Tu Sicheng was not proficient in foreign languages. She tested Tu Siyi, speaking to him in a foreign tongue. To their surprise, Tu Siyi understood and responded fluently, even repeating phrases like "Do you love me?" in the foreign language.
Lin Zhen'er credited this to her past influence in the game, where she had encouraged him to expand into the "Asian market." She then quickly devised a plan: Tu Siyi would memorize the gift list, and then they would destroy Tu Sicheng's copy. That night, they stealthily entered Tu Sicheng's room.
Luckily, Tu Sicheng was preoccupied playing a blindfolded game with his lover, Zha Ruirui, allowing Lin Zhen'er and Tu Siyi to locate the list and successfully carry out their plan. Tu Siyi expressed some reservations about destroying the list, but Lin Zhen'er dismissed his concerns, emphasizing the importance of Tu Sicheng being publicly humiliated.
The following day, at the appreciation banquet, Tu Sicheng dramatically opened the gift list, only for the white phosphorus applied by Lin Zhen'er to spontaneously ignite, destroying the document in front of everyone. A guest humorously remarked on Tu Sicheng's "marvelous" pre-announcement "show." As Tu Sicheng struggled to recall the names, Lin Zhen'er subtly prompted Tu Siyi that it was "your show time now." Tu Siyi stepped forward and confidently offered to take over.
He flawlessly announced each ambassador and their corresponding gifts, speaking in multiple foreign languages to diplomats from Yabei, Haluya, and Huanyue State. He conveyed that the Longxiao Sword was conferred to the Ambassador of Yabei State and a Yaoqin to the Ambassador of Haluya State, emphasizing the honor of the Huanyue King's personal visit. The King of Huanyue State particularly praised Tu Siyi's competence and linguistic skills.
However, a guest's comment that Tu Siyi and Princess Murong Qianyue would make a "perfect match" if he weren't already married angered Lin Zhen'er. The Emperor, furious at Tu Sicheng's blunder, chastised him for nearly ruining the state's reputation. He immediately revoked Tu Sicheng's title as Goodwill Ambassador, appointing Tu Siyi in his place and expressing high expectations for his performance. Tu Siyi humbly accepted, vowing not to disappoint his father.
With Tu Siyi having won the Emperor's trust, Lin Zhen'er, full of excitement, decided to cook a celebratory meal herself. However, the household staff were wary, recalling that her previous attempt at cooking potatoes had left Tu Siyi with diarrhea for three days. As Lin Zhen'er returned from the kitchen, her face smudged with soot, she found Murong Qianyue had arrived.
Murong Qianyue explained that she had finished her official duties and wished to visit Tu Siyi and his household, even offering to cook some Huanyue dishes. She also presented Tu Siyi with some delightful Huanyue desserts, which he acknowledged were "good." Despite Murong Qianyue's offer and delicacies, Tu Siyi ultimately chose Lin Zhen'er's potato dish. He tasted it and told Lin Zhen'er, "The potatoes you prepared last time are not well cooked. I had suffered from diarrhea for three days.
And the problem was well solved this time. I can feel your heart," affirming his appreciation for her effort. Shortly after, a servant delivered grim news: the carefully prepared musicians for the Emperor's birthday banquet had been ambushed by robbers en route to the palace, their dominant hands injured, rendering them unable to perform. Lin Zhen'er quickly deduced that Tu Sicheng was behind the attack, knowing he wouldn't dare harm palace staff.
Seizing the opportunity, she decided to assemble a new orchestra from within the palace, tapping into unexpected talents. She identified a eunuch with a strong voice for high notes, a chopping master with excellent rhythm for drums, a fire master who could integrate sound with his control of flames, and Imperial Doctor Su, whose precise pulse-taking skills could be applied to stringed instruments.
When Tu Siyi worried about managing so many new recruits, Lin Zhen'er assured him she would handle the organization, encouraging him to focus on the musical direction. During their efforts at Minglv Garden, Murong Qianyue unexpectedly appeared, claiming she was there for a visit and offering her assistance, stating, "I happen to know a little about music and rhythm, would you mind me going with you?"
Tu Siyi readily agreed, and Lin Zhen'er, despite her reluctance, had no choice but to accept. As they guided the new musicians, Lin Zhen'er observed Tu Siyi and Murong Qianyue happily collaborating, with Tu Siyi giving detailed instructions to Imperial Doctor Su, while Lin Zhen'er herself brought honey water. Lin Zhen'er felt increasingly isolated and neglected, wondering, "Why can she always appear at the right time?" Distressed by this, she later found a modern-looking message bottle.
Inside, a message from Xiao En revealed a crucial game tip: for Tu Siyi to ascend the throne smoothly and for them to complete their mission and return to reality, the "hero and heroine" must marry. The heroine, Xiao En specified, was Murong Qianyue. This devastating revelation left Lin Zhen'er reeling, making her question if all her efforts had been in vain.
She realized that in the original plot, Murong Qianyue and Tu Siyi were destined companions, and her actions had inadvertently turned Murong Qianyue into a "bad girl" in Tu Siyi's heart. She wondered if she was meant to push the man she loved toward another woman. " No!" she concluded.
