Untouchable Lovers Episode 30 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Liu Chuyu was dragged by the ritual official to the Grand Priest, her hand forced to grip the dagger. In the palace, the Empress Dowager was interceding with Tuoba Hong for Liu Chuyu when a servant suddenly reported that Liu Chuyu had killed the Grand Priest. Rong Zhi, upon hearing the news, swept everything off his desk in a fit of rage. The situation was too tricky, and he couldn't think of a way to save Liu Chuyu immediately.
It was Sima Jun who had captured Huo Xuan alive in Ancheng. He was talking with the Head of Tianji Pavilion when soldiers suddenly reported that Huo Xuan had escaped. The escaped Huo Xuan was actually hiding in Sima Jun's tent at that moment. Taking advantage of the time Sima Jun and the people from Tianji Pavilion spent searching, Huo Xuan unexpectedly captured the Head of Tianji Pavilion.
Huo Xuan held a dagger to the Head of Tianji Pavilion's neck, surrounded by Sima Jun's men. The Head of Tianji Pavilion tempted Huo Xuan to surrender to Great Song, speaking persuasively. Huo Xuan was certain that this drama of Song soldiers killing Wei people was designed by him. Given the Head of Tianji Pavilion's noble status, Huo Xuan used him to threaten Sima Jun, who could only let her go.
However, the horse he arranged for Huo Xuan had been fed croton beans, so it wouldn't go far. Sima Jun secretly pursued Huo Xuan. After seeing her abandon the Head of Tianji Pavilion, he led his men in pursuit and even shot her with an arrow, seemingly killing her. When he went to collect the spoils of war, he was astonished to find that the dead person was actually the Head of Tianji Pavilion.
At this moment, Huo Xuan, dressed in the Head of Tianji Pavilion's clothes, had killed people from Tianji Pavilion, seized a horse, and hurried to rendezvous with Wang Ze. Her previous injuries had not yet healed, but it was not advisable to stay there long. She took Wang Ze and rushed back to Pingcheng overnight. The ten-day period had passed. Liu Chuyu was brought to the execution platform.
With things having come to this point, Liu Chuyu no longer wished to defend herself. She was just a little sad; having been allied with Rong Zhi for so long, she had developed feelings for him, but he had been unusually cold towards her. Just as the executioner's blade was about to fall, Qing Yue swung her sword, knocking the blade away. It was at this opportune moment that Huo Xuan returned, bringing a secret letter stolen from Sima Jun.
The letter was written in Xianbei script, and its content roughly stated that Liu Chuyu had colluded with Sima Jun to capture Huo Xuan alive. Tuoba Yun, seeing this letter, thought he had caught Liu Chuyu red-handed. Huo Xuan burst out laughing; both Liu Chuyu and Sima Jun were people of Song, how could they write a letter in Xianbei script?
Huo Xuan was certain this letter was meant for her to see, and her escape was likely Sima Jun intentionally letting her go. Even Sima Jun accidentally killing the Head of Tianji Pavilion was probably just a ruse to mislead her. Huo Xuan's matter was resolved, but Tuoba Yun still wanted to hold Liu Chuyu accountable for killing the Grand Priest. Liu Chuyu, at this point, had a strong will to live.
She dragged out the ritual official who had framed her that day, tore open the front of his clothes, revealing a large palm print on his chest. This was the blow Liu Chuyu had struck with all her might before she fainted that day, specifically to prove her innocence someday. Liu Chuyu had predicted that the ritual official, having committed murder, would not dare to admit to having been in the Grand Priest's room.
Her palm print perfectly proved that the ritual official had indeed been there. This ritual official was one of Tuoba Yun's men. Seeing his plot exposed, Tuoba Yun became anxious. Fortunately, the ritual official committed suicide in a moment of desperation, and the matter was thus dropped. The matter of Liu Chuyu's marriage alliance with Great Wei had originally been manipulated by the Head of Tianji Pavilion, something Tian Rujing was unaware of.
After he found out, he went to question the Head of Tianji Pavilion. The Head of Tianji Pavilion was ill-intentioned, constantly trying to stir up chaos. Had it not been for his master's sake, Tian Rujing would have long since broken ties with the Head of Tianji Pavilion.
The Head of Tianji Pavilion was not angered by his questioning and even promised that if Tian Rujing could bring Liu Chuyu back from Great Wei to Great Song, he would abandon his plans to incite chaos. Tian Rujing, wearing a bamboo hat, arrived in Pingcheng. Hearing people on the streets speak disrespectfully of Liu Chuyu, he subtly taught them a lesson. Meanwhile, Liu Chuyu was angry that Rong Zhi had been hot and cold towards her before.
Now that her injustice was cleared, Rong Zhi not only offered no comfort but also reprimanded her for trifling with her own life and passively treating the matter of the Grand Priest's death. Liu Chuyu felt extremely wronged. No sooner had Rong Zhi left than she took Qing Yue out shopping. Rong Zhi went to Huo Xuan's residence. The two had not seen each other for many days. Huo Xuan immediately sparred with him in swordplay.
Before they could exchange many words, Shen Yu entered to report that Liu Chuyu had left the residence without permission. Rong Zhi had no choice but to leave in a hurry. Huo Xuan watched Rong Zhi's anxious demeanor and smiled subtly. It seemed Liu Chuyu was quite a handful. Huo Xuan was in a good mood and went out onto the street with Wang Ze. Liu Chuyu wandered to an overpass.
An old woman was sitting on the steps and asked her to help retrieve some shoes from a distance. Liu Chuyu, being kind-hearted, fetched them for her. The old woman then pressed her luck, asking Liu Chuyu to help her put on the shoes. Liu Chuyu had originally intended to see her good deed through, but upon catching a fleeting glance in the old woman's eyes, she stopped her movements.
