Untouchable Lovers Episode 13 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
When Huan Yuan woke up, Liu Chuyu happened to catch up and reunite with them. Everyone was very excited to see her. Liu Chuyu told them about the changes in the palace, and she and Rong Zhi exchanged a smile. Zong Yue fled in a hurry and met Shen Youzhi, who was searching for remnants of the Tianji Pavilion outside the city.
He then realized that he had been deceived by Rong Zhi again; there was no poison on the sword at all. He furiously took Shen Youzhi to chase after Rong Zhi. However, the situation was different now. Rong Zhi had already laid a large ambush here. The secret task he had Moxiang handle earlier was to ambush the people of the Great Wei in this place.
Yuwen Xiong of the Great Wei led troops to rescue Rong Zhi, and coupled with the newly arrived Huaixi military report, Zong Yue and Shen Youzhi had to abandon the pursuit of Rong Zhi and retreat to Jiankang after losing several men. The sudden appearance of the Great Wei's people and Moxiang caught Chuyu and the others off guard. Hua Cuo demanded an explanation from Rong Zhi.
Before Rong Zhi could speak, He Jue suddenly appeared and asked Rong Zhi to clarify his original intention for befriending Hua Cuo. Rong Zhi, expressionless, spoke words that chilled the heart. He said that he was short of people back then and valued Hua Cuo's martial arts, which was why he kept him by his side. Hua Cuo's illness could have been cured long ago, but Rong Zhi had deliberately delayed it to make Hua Cuo grateful to him.
Hua Cuo, upon hearing this, was first shocked, then filled with anger. He wanted to harm Rong Zhi. Yuwen Xiong and his soldiers fought with him. Hua Cuo, outnumbered, was surrounded by the soldiers, with a spear held to his neck. Hua Cuo cursed Rong Zhi, saying that he would one day also taste the pain of giving his true heart but receiving nothing in return.
Chuyu pleaded for Hua Cuo, and Rong Zhi, seizing the opportunity, let Hua Cuo go. As Hua Cuo left, he vowed to return to seek revenge. After Hua Cuo left, Rong Zhi, however, said that he was intentionally provoking him to make his martial arts improve further. Chuyu disapproved of his actions, pulled out a long sword, and wanted to talk to him alone. The two walked to a peach forest with falling blossoms and stopped.
Chuyu was curious how Wang Yizhi discovered his true identity. Rong Zhi told her that he was a Xianbei tribesman from the Great Wei and did not eat fragrant meat, and the meat soup Wang Yizhi had offered them before used fragrant meat. Previously, Chuyu had painstakingly tried to help Liu Ziye change, but all her well-laid plans were quietly destroyed by Rong Zhi.
She, Liu Yu, and the Tianji Pavilion were all played by Rong Zhi, clearly showing his deep cunning. These matters were already set in stone, and Chuyu did not want to say more. Rong Zhi had said he heard her confession while feigning sleep, and now Chuyu only wanted to know if he liked her even a little.
Rong Zhi answered without hesitation, "No." Chuyu gave a bitter smile, considering herself an unfortunate person; the first time she fell in love, she loved the wrong person. Since that was the case, she swung her sword, cut off a strand of her hair, and declared that from then on, she and Rong Zhi were completely severed, never to recognize each other again.
Rong Zhi watched Chuyu's retreating back, and for a rare moment, his heart felt a pang of pain. Chuyu, along with Huan Yuan and a few others, went to the courtyard he had prepared in Jizhou. After Liu Yu ascended the throne, he was as extravagant and dissolute as Liu Ziye.
Liu Yu had no sons, so he bestowed his concubine, Chen Miaodeng, upon Prince Jian'an Liu Xiuren, promising that once Chen Miaodeng became pregnant, he would bring her back to the palace and name her child the crown prince. The military situation was urgent; the Great Wei continuously captured counties in the Great Song's Huaixi region. Liu Yu dispatched Shen Youzhi to resist the enemy.
Shen Youzhi and Zong Yue went to Huaixi together and successfully cut off the Great Wei's supply route. Rong Zhi personally commanded from the Great Wei military camp, designing a way to successfully transport provisions to the camp, capturing seven Huaixi counties of the Great Song consecutively. Shen Youzhi, mindful of his military achievements, falsely reported the military situation, claiming a great victory in Huaixi, with 8,000 enemies annihilated and 30,000 captured.
However, he never expected that Liu Yu, incited by Tian Rujing, decided to personally lead the imperial expedition. Once the imperial carriage arrived, the captives would surely be inspected. In a moment of desperation, Shen Youzhi instructed Zong Yue to turn their attention to the Great Song's common people. The reason Tian Rujing incited Liu Yu to lead the imperial expedition was to meet Rong Zhi.
Greedy Wolf, Seven Killings, and Army Breaker are the three major ominous stars that would bring chaos to the world. Although Army Breaker Liu Ziye was already dead, Greedy Wolf Rong Zhi was the source of the chaos. With the war raging in Huaixi, people fled for their lives. However, Jizhou had not yet been captured by the Great Wei. Shen Youzhi ordered the city to be sealed, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
Chuyu and Huan Yuan had been in Jizhou for a month. Chuyu dressed in men's attire all day, looking as clear and graceful as a painting. Her mood slowly calmed down, believing that time would heal all scars, including her feelings for Rong Zhi. Although Chuyu did not show it, Huan Yuan noticed that she was not happy. He specifically asked the gardener to find a way to make all the flowers in the garden bloom simultaneously.
Under the bright moonlight, Chuyu was pleasantly surprised to see the garden full of colorful, fragrant flowers. Huan Yuan told her that this was specially prepared for her. Chuyu understood Huan Yuan's feelings for her but could not reciprocate them; she only regarded Huan Yuan as a gentle and close elder brother. Huan Yuan understood her meaning and would not force her or make things difficult for her.
Chuyu returned to her room, surprised to see Rong Zhi, who had appeared there unnoticed. Rong Zhi had actually been sending people to follow Chuyu all along, enduring for a long time. Finally, he was no longer willing to go against his own heart and came to find her. He said that his previous rejection of her was a lie, and he also had feelings for her, feelings whose origin was unknown but deep enough.
Chuyu was shocked but also couldn't help but be suspicious. Rong Zhi's schemes were too profound, and she didn't know if he was being sincere or if he was using her again.
