Untouchable Lovers Episode 16 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Hua Cuo could not let go of Rong Zhi's death. He didn't truly hate Rong Zhi; he just wanted Rong Zhi to admit his mistake. He deeply missed their friendship. Back then, Rong Zhi treated his injuries and taught him sword fighting; those days were so joyful. Now, everything was gone. In his grief, Hua Cuo severed one of his arms and left in disarray. Mo Xiang faithfully followed Rong Zhi.
He killed Shen Youzhi with one sword strike and also intended to kill Liu Yu, but due to a momentary oversight, Liu Yu had already escaped. Tian Rujing intentionally let Liu Yu go, as the Great Song's destiny had not yet run out. Yuwen Xiong wanted to take Rong Zhi's body back to Great Wei, but Mo Xiang stopped him. He presented Rong Zhi's pre-written ten-year development plan for Great Wei. Rong Zhi had known he would die.
Before his mother passed away, she instructed him to take good care of Feng Ting. However, due to an accident when he was eight, he ended up among the Qiang people, and Feng Ting did not enter the palace, transforming from innocent and naive to fierce and brutal, not even trusting her own younger brother. But Rong Zhi didn't mind; he even used his death to scheme for Feng Ting, ensuring those who followed him would be loyal to her.
Yuwen Xiong was moved. Mo Xiang decided to take Rong Zhi far away and guard his tomb for the rest of his life. Liu Chuyu cried bitterly and ran to chase Mo Xiang, followed by Huan Yuan. Tian Rujing also wanted to pursue them, but Yue Jiefai stopped him. Yue Jiefai knew his junior martial brother had changed.
He used to oppose Rong Zhi for the sake of the Way of Heaven, but ever since he met Liu Chuyu, her repeated defiance and admonishments had intrigued Tian Rujing, and he unknowingly fell in love with her. However, she loved Rong Zhi. Tian Rujing swore to eliminate Rong Zhi, and Yue Jiefai wondered how much of this was for the Way of Heaven and how much was due to jealousy of Rong Zhi.
Tian Rujing refused to admit Yue Jiefai's claims, but his hurried steps as he walked away already revealed his true thoughts. While things were in turmoil here, at another stronghold of the Tianji Pavilion, the Master of Tianji Pavilion and Xiao Daocheng discussed the Liu clan's empire. Liu Yu was even more cruel and brutal than Liu Ziye, which was precisely what the Master of Tianji Pavilion wanted.
When Xiao Daocheng mentioned Liu Chuyu, the Master of Tianji Pavilion's eyes, visible outside his cold mask, narrowed slightly. He had his own way of dealing with Liu Chuyu. On a low yellow earthen slope, pear trees blossomed. Rong Zhi was buried in such a quiet and peaceful environment. Liu Chuyu stood before his tomb, recalling all the moments she spent with Rong Zhi: there was sweetness, anger, and regret.
Liu Chuyu was immersed in her thoughts, and it was too late when she realized something was wrong. Not far away, Huan Yuan had been knocked unconscious, and Liu Chuyu was taken away by a group of black-clad figures. When Tian Rujing rushed over, he only saw Huan Yuan, who had just regained consciousness. Huan Yuan told him he only saw a group of black-clad figures pass by before he fainted. Hearing about the black-clad figures, Tian Rujing quickly left.
Meanwhile, Liu Chuyu had already arrived at the Tianji Pavilion stronghold. She thought her mission was complete after Liu Ziye's death, but the Master of Tianji Pavilion intended to punish her, claiming Liu Ziye was not killed by her. Liu Chuyu had long been dissatisfied with the Master of Tianji Pavilion; she and Fen Dai were merely his pawns. The Master of Tianji Pavilion was cold and heartless.
Just as Liu Chuyu was about to lose her life, Tian Rujing arrived in time. The Master of Tianji Pavilion was Tian Rujing's martial uncle; both came from the Yun Jin Mountain lineage, taking it as their duty to uphold the Way of Heaven. After Liu Chuyu learned of their relationship, she suddenly understood many things: she, Liu Ziye, and Liu Yu were all pawns, and their existence was all to protect the true person destined by heaven.
Who could that person be? Liu Chuyu knew too much; if Tian Rujing had not insisted on protecting her, Liu Chuyu would not have been able to leave the Tianji Pavilion. Tian Rujing was the Heavenly Master appointed by Heaven. Although Liu Yu hated him, he could do nothing about him. In the eyes of the Great Song people, Tian Rujing was a celestial being.
Liu Yu, understanding the situation, killed He Ji, who had spoken wildly against Tian Rujing, to curry favor with him. Under Tian Rujing's arrangements, Liu Chuyu returned to Jiankang City, once again the lofty Princess Shanyin. Liu Chuyu missed Rong Zhi, and Tian Rujing asked her to help him thwart the Master of Tianji Pavilion's conspiracy and search for a true enlightened ruler. By the cliffside of a peach forest, two white-robed men arrived leisurely.
They were none other than Rong Zhi, who had supposedly died by jumping off a cliff, and his senior martial brother, Guan Canghai. Rong Zhi had once asked Guan Canghai to help him find stones that could make sounds to amuse Liu Chuyu. Guan Canghai couldn't understand Rong Zhi's purpose in faking his death. Rong Zhi was selfish in love.
Liu Chuyu couldn't tell if her resentment towards him was deeper or her love was deeper, so he used death to make her see her own heart. Liu Chuyu would likely never forget such a decisive method; he wanted to be not only Liu Chuyu's lover but also her only lover. As Rong Zhi was immersed in his thoughts, Guan Canghai suddenly made a move.
He was not only Rong Zhi's senior martial brother but also Feng Ting's senior martial brother. Feng Ting knew Rong Zhi would surely have a trick up his sleeve, so she specifically arranged for Guan Canghai to be the mantis's behind-the-scenes oriole. Rong Zhi and Guan Canghai were evenly matched, but Guan Canghai, knowing his wisdom was not as great as Rong Zhi's, administered the Heart-Devouring Poison to him.
With this poison, Rong Zhi would henceforth be a puppet at Feng Ting's mercy. In a scenic mountain area, a white-robed storyteller sat gracefully on a weeping willow, narrating the deeply passionate and tumultuous love story of Liu Chuyu and Rong Zhi. The audience was dissatisfied with such a tragedy. To satisfy their desire for a happy ending, the storyteller specifically told a story of a marriage alliance between Song and Wei, where everything started anew.
In the Northern Wei Imperial Palace, Anle Palace, within the solemn imperial court, Emperor Tuoba Hong of Northern Wei, engrossed in Buddhism, neglected state affairs and wished to appoint a regent prince. Many court officials tried to dissuade him, but Tuoba Hong's mind was made up. Zhao Qi, a Zhongshu Sheng Shizhong, proposed appointing Rong Zhi, the Prince of Changli, as regent prince. However, others recommended Tuoba Yun, Prince Kang.
The former was the Empress Dowager's younger brother, while the latter was a member of the Tuoba imperial clan. Tuoba Hong asked Chancellor Ma Xiangliang for his opinion. Meanwhile, in the palace of Imperial Concubine Qi, Tuoba Yun and his mother concubine drank tea, quietly awaiting good news. Tuoba Yun had built up his own influence in court for many years, and he had already sounded out Chancellor Ma, knowing that he had decided not to take sides.
In the Empress Dowager's palace, Feng Ting's brows were tightly furrowed. She knew that securing the regent position for the Prince of Changli this time would not be easy, and at such a critical moment, the Prince of Changli was not even in the palace. On a bustling street, Ma Xueyun, Chancellor Ma's daughter, was throwing an embroidered ball to choose a husband.
However, her brows were tightly furrowed; among the many suitors below, she did not see the man she favored. But the hour had arrived, and she could not delay further, moreover, her lord father had given an order, so she had to throw it. The moment the embroidered ball was thrown, Ma Xueyun jumped down from the building. She did not want to marry anyone except her beloved.
Suddenly, a man in blue brocade robes flew from afar and caught Ma Xueyun. Looking up at his face, Ma Xueyun's face relaxed into a smile. The man in brocade robes was precisely Rong Zhi.
