Untouchable Lovers Episode 24 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
After several fierce battles, Huo Xuan planned to send the survivors to the army, using prisoners as soldiers. Huo Xuan promised that as long as they could repel the enemy, she would grant them freedom, and promotion and wealth would be within reach. Huo Xuan's move was very risky, and Wang Ze worried that something might go wrong, but it was the only way now.
Huo Xuan noticed that one of them was called "Mister," who actively helped others and offered food, but he was also a murderer. Huo Xuan asked Wang Ze to thoroughly investigate this person. Ma Xueyun copied scriptures with her blood, saying it was to pray for Rong Zhi. Meanwhile, by the small river, Le Yun, who looked exactly like Huo Xuan, lived nearby. Tuoba Yun visited her every day.
His people found out that Le Yun had been a thief and suspected her of being a spy. However, Tuoba Yun couldn't bring himself to suspect her when looking at her face; he believed everything she said and promised to be good to Le Yun for life. At Anle Hall, Tuoba Yun painstakingly brought back one of Zhao Qi's guards from Jingzhou.
According to the guard's report, Zhao Qi was killed by Huo Xuan, and Huo Xuan was occupying Jingzhou and plotting treason. Zhao Qi had discovered this, and also found clues to the former governor's case, but all the memorials had been intercepted by Huo Xuan. Since Huo Xuan was a great general, she could not be convicted based solely on one person's testimony. Tuoba Hong ordered Huo Xuan to be recalled to the capital.
Rong Zhi was very worried about Huo Xuan's situation. He knew that Tuoba Hong was intelligent and that Zhao Qi was the Empress Dowager's person. The Emperor must have known that Huo Xuan was in danger, and doing this was to appease the wrath of the Empress Dowager and the Zhao family. Huo Xuan was currently fighting; once she left, the war would become unpredictable.
Rong Zhi went to ask the Empress Dowager for more time, promising he would uncover the truth. Empress Dowager Feng Ting, Rong Zhi's biological sister, was also very worried seeing him so gravely ill and overworked, but she could not back down on the matter of Huo Xuan, as the entire court of civil and military officials was not easy to deal with. Rong Zhi encountered Tuoba Yun's sarcasm when leaving the palace.
With Le Yun, Tuoba Yun was no longer as enthusiastic about Huo Xuan. To cause trouble for Rong Zhi, he even disregarded Huo Xuan's predicament. However, Le Yun's status was lowly. If Tuoba Yun wanted to give her a proper title, he would have to accept the two concubines given to him by his mother, Concubine Qi. In the manor, Le Yun was looked down upon and openly humiliated by the two concubines.
Upon returning to her room, she tore up all the fabrics Tuoba Yun had sent her, feeling a sense of satisfaction as she listened to the sound of tearing silk. Ancient King Jie of Xia's favorite consort, Mei Xi, disliked silk and enjoyed the sound of tearing silk. Le Yun said she was imitating her.
Tuoba Yun knew she was unhappy, so he smashed his treasured antique to please her, and even declared that he could give up anything for her, and it wouldn't matter if he became a muddle-headed ruler. With his words, Le Yun felt at ease. Rong Zhi was exhausted, and his illness worsened. Liu Chuyu saw him almost fall off his horse upon returning to the manor during the day and was angry that he didn't cherish his own body.
Unable to rest easy at night, she still wanted to check on him. Liu Chuyu walked outside Rong Zhi's room and discovered a suspicious person. Shen Yu went to pursue the person. Liu Chuyu promptly entered the room and stopped Rong Zhi, who had already drunk half of his medicine. The medicine had been poisoned, and Rong Zhi fell unconscious, alarming the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The assassin disappeared after being pursued to Tuoba Yun's Prince Kang's manor.
Tuoba Hong ordered Shen Yu to thoroughly investigate Prince Kang's manor. A moment earlier, the assassin had escaped into Le Yun's courtyard and was hidden in her room by her. The two concubines saw this situation and immediately called Tuoba Yun over, wanting to stir up trouble between him and Le Yun. When Shen Yu entered the manor, the situation became urgent. Le Yun asked Tuoba Yun to believe that she would not harm him.
