Untouchable Lovers Episode 18 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Tuoba Yun planned to have the Liu Song princess assassinated "accidentally" on her way to marriage, causing Song and Wei to restart the war, and forcing Rong Zhi onto the battlefield. On the way to the marriage, wherever the Liu Song princess's sedan chair passed, everyone talked about how the Regent King, with his divine appearance, was marrying an ugly woman from the Great Song, which was truly a disadvantage for him.
The one who came to welcome the bride this time was General Shen Yu. They were suddenly attacked. Shen Yu and the princess's maid Qing Yue worked together, and with the strength of just two people, they dealt with numerous assassins. However, the princess already knew something would go wrong and was not in the sedan chair. Although some time was delayed, the princess was still safely sent to the Regent King's manor.
The princess who came for the marriage alliance this time was Liu Chuyu. She wore a bright red wedding dress, dignified and elegant, and walked into the main hall with Rong Zhi. She was walking well initially, but Liu Chuyu accidentally stepped on her wedding dress and stumbled. She gave an awkward smile, and then incredibly, she stepped on her wedding dress again during the bowing ceremony. Although the scene was awkward, the ceremony was completed without incident.
After being escorted to the bridal chamber, Rong Zhi first went to Ma Xueyun's room and performed the wedding rites with her. While they were immersed in affection, poor Liu Chuyu waited and waited, bored beyond measure. She lifted her own veil, took off her shoes to entertain herself, and even heard from Lan Ruo, a servant of the prince's manor who came in, that Rong Zhi had married another bride that day.
Liu Chuyu and Qing Yue secretly climbed onto the roof, planning to catch a glimpse of the other bride's beauty. The two of them were happily watching from the rooftop. Seeing that Rong Zhi was about to get intimate with Ma Xueyun, Liu Chuyu seemed even more excited than them. She accidentally made too big a movement and actually fell from the roof. Her sachet fell onto the wedding bed. Rong Zhi was furious and argued with Liu Chuyu.
However, Rong Zhi was not as sharp-tongued as Liu Chuyu and was even stepped on by her. Liu Chuyu retrieved her sachet and slept alone for the night. Rong Zhi came over midway, but only carefully looked at the sachet she held tightly in her hand, then turned and left. Liu Chuyu was carefree and slept soundly. Even her accompanying maid, Qing Yue, slept sweetly on the corridor outside the door, just like her.
Rong Zhi felt that Liu Chuyu had no manners, so he specifically sent Lan Ruo to teach her. However, hearing Liu Chuyu's unrestrained laughter from the garden from afar, he knew the effect was not good. Liu Chuyu stood on a swing, laughing heartily. Rong Zhi suddenly spoke, startling her, and she actually fell off the swing. Rong Zhi flew to save her, but unexpectedly ended up being her human cushion.
Before Liu Chuyu left the garden, she encountered Ma Xueyun in a narrow path between the garden's shallow ponds. Ma Xueyun pretended to fall to frame her. Rong Zhi, unaware of the truth, also wrongly accused her. Liu Chuyu was never one to suffer silently. She reached out and pushed Ma Xueyun again. She wanted to tell Rong Zhi that if she were to act, she would always do so openly. A few days later, there was a palace banquet.
The Empress Dowager personally sent Aunt Zhao, who was by her side, to the Regent King's manor to teach Liu Chuyu etiquette. Liu Chuyu did not listen to the teachings and even had Qing Yue discipline the domineering Aunt Zhao.
Rong Zhi was angry that Liu Chuyu was too arrogant, but Liu Chuyu spoke from the perspective of Da Wei to the Han people, proving that women do not necessarily have to be confined to the inner courtyard, taking their husbands as their heaven. What she said was logical and forced Rong Zhi into silence. And Aunt Zhao no longer dared to be presumptuous. Since falling into the water that day, Ma Xueyun had been ill in bed.
Rong Zhi personally came to feed her medicine. However, Ma Xueyun was not as simple as she appeared on the surface. Her framing of Liu Chuyu that day was to test Rong Zhi's attitude. With Rong Zhi's intelligence, he must have seen the truth, but he still protected her. As long as Rong Zhi's heart was with her, she was satisfied. The Great Wei was constantly plagued by natural disasters and man-made calamities, with floods and rebellions breaking out simultaneously.
The floods needed to be managed, and military pay needed to be issued, but there were not enough supplies in the court. Tuoba Yun proposed increasing taxes, but Rong Zhi believed that disaster relief funds should be allocated, and as for military pay, he would find a way to raise it.
Tuoba Yun put him in a difficult position, and Rong Zhi promised to raise the military pay within three days, otherwise, he would let Tuoba Yun deal with him as he wished. Rong Zhi's actions were too risky. The court officials on his side worried for him, while others waited to see him fail. Rong Zhi was confident.
Although he had been reading in his room for these three days, he had already properly raised the military pay and sent Shen Yu to receive and arrange it. While they were talking, a figure flashed outside the room, and the content of their conversation might have been leaked.
However, there was a palace banquet that day, so he had to let Shen Yu proceed with the original plan, and he himself took Liu Chuyu and Ma Xueyun into the palace for the banquet. The weather was cold. Ma Xueyun was lightly dressed. Rong Zhi showed concern for her, but paid no attention to Liu Chuyu.
