Untouchable Lovers Episode 35 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Tuoba Yun was anxious to see Tuoba Hong, and his birth mother, Qi Taifei, came to assist him. Hong Xiu saw that Eunuch Pan could not stop her, so she stood up and came out to block. Although Qi Taifei was arrogant and domineering, Hong Xiu claimed that Tuoba Hong was already asleep and had given an oral order before sleeping that no one was to disturb him.
Although Qi Taifei was overbearing, Hong Xiu brought up the Imperial Dragon Forest Army, and she could only leave unwillingly. What Tuoba Yun found in the river lantern was important evidence to bring down Rong Zhi and Empress Dowager Feng, which was why he was eager to see Tuoba Hong. Now that he couldn't see him, Qi Taifei didn't want to miss such a good opportunity and told Tuoba Yun to act tonight.
Qin Yuan, the Prefect of Jingzhao in Pingcheng, had always been Tuoba Yun's man. However, Tuoba Yun suddenly received news that Qin Yuan had defected and sided with Rong Zhi, and they had even scheduled a meeting for tonight. Tuoba Yun rushed to meet Qin Yuan before their scheduled time. He was convinced that Qin Yuan had defected, and no matter how Qin Yuan defended himself, he would not believe him.
He then created the illusion that Qin Yuan had been killed by an enemy. The next day, Huo Xuan had not intended to attend court, but after the visit from the Qiang envoy, even though she was reluctant, she still changed into her court robes and went to court. In court today, undercurrents still surged.
Tuoba Yun took out what he had obtained from the river lantern last night, claiming it was a list of contacts between Liu Chuyu and Da Song spies, and a stolen defense map of Pingcheng. He argued that this defense map could only have been given to Liu Chuyu by Rong Zhi, otherwise, how could a mere woman like Liu Chuyu obtain a defense map? Tuoba Yun had arrested the Da Song spies overnight according to the list.
He was determined to label Rong Zhi a traitor. Huo Xuan sneered. She requested a witness to be brought to court. The Qiang envoy came to court and accused Tuoba Yun of massacring Qiang merchants. Last night, Tuoba Yun had indeed arrested many merchants in order to catch Da Song spies, but they were not the Da Song spies he had thought, but Qiang merchants.
Tuoba Yun now knew he had fallen into a trap, but it was already a fact. Tuoba Hong handed over all matters concerning negotiations with the Qiang tribe to Rong Zhi and ordered Tuoba Yun to be confined. Qi Taifei learned about the events in court today and furiously went to confront Hong Xiu. Last night, Tuoba Yun had hesitated before arresting people, wanting to enter the palace to ask for instructions.
If Hong Xiu hadn't insisted on blocking him, Tuoba Yun wouldn't have been so hasty. Hong Xiu smiled brightly. She admitted without hesitation that she was Rong Zhi's person, and that she had deliberately stopped Tuoba Yun last night. But what of it? Without evidence, who could do anything to her? Qi Taifei arrived in anger and left with even greater fury.
Liu Chuyu was still angry that Rong Zhi hadn't accompanied her to release the river lanterns, and she planned to disguise herself as a ghost to scare him. In court today, although Huo Xuan had helped Rong Zhi, she still wanted to understand the full story. In the study, Rong Zhi told Huo Xuan that it was all part of his plan.
He had swapped Liu Chuyu's river lantern and had a young beggar retrieve the lantern to lure Tuoba Yun into the trap. Then he had Hong Xiu stop Tuoba Yun from seeing the Emperor, disrupting Tuoba Yun's plan. Finally, to ensure everything went smoothly, he specifically arranged to meet Qin Yuan, the Prefect of Jingzhao, to make Tuoba Yun completely believe in his ambition and impatiently go to arrest the Da Song spies.
Liu Chuyu, hearing Rong Zhi's words outside the door, couldn't help but rush in to question him. She couldn't tolerate Rong Zhi being so calculating, even treating her as a chess piece. Rong Zhi admitted openly to what he had done. He knew it was cruel, but this was reality, and Liu Chuyu should recognize that. Liu Chuyu hated that Rong Zhi disregarded innocent lives for his ambition, and also hated that he kept everything from her.
Liu Chuyu ran off, filled with anger, and Shen Yu hurriedly chased after her to explain. These plans had been set long ago. The struggle between Rong Zhi and Tuoba Yun had reached an irreconcilable point, and some sacrifices were inevitable; they would reach this stage sooner or later. Liu Chuyu knew the cruelty of court struggles and could understand it, but she just hated being excluded from everything Rong Zhi did and him not telling her anything.
Shen Yu didn't understand why Liu Chuyu was angry and wanted Qing Yue to help smooth things over. Qing Yue looked indignant; this time, she firmly stood by her own master. After parting ways unhappily with Shen Yu, Qing Yue didn't give a kind look to Wang Ze, who came to ask for directions. Wang Ze was scolded for no apparent reason, but fortunately, Zhao Changshi arrived in time to show him the way.
Lan Ruo brought a shadow puppet personally made by Rong Zhi to apologize to Liu Chuyu. The shadow puppet was Liu Chuyu herself, lifelike. Prince Kang's mansion was sealed, and Tuoba Yun was utterly defeated once again. Now, during his most distraught time, Le Yun stayed by his side, comforting and supporting him.
Tuoba Yun sent a message to his birth mother, Qi Taifei, asking her to go to Tuoba Hong and cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide, saying that no matter what, she must soften Tuoba Hong's heart and get him released. Ma Xueyun received news of a big argument between Liu Chuyu and Rong Zhi and sneered repeatedly, thinking that Rong Zhi would sooner or later recognize the fact that he and Liu Chuyu were unsuitable for each other.
Ma Zhongliang came to visit his daughter. He knew his daughter was still angry about him not agreeing to kill Liu Chuyu last time, and her actions were becoming increasingly biased, so he specifically came to comfort her. No matter what he said, Ma Xueyun felt he had ulterior motives. She felt she had always been a pawn in her father's pursuit of power. After provoking her father, she swore she would make him regret it.
As Ma Zhongliang hurried out of the mansion, he happened to meet Rong Zhi returning. He was eager to go to the palace for a meeting, but ultimately, she was his daughter, so he turned back to ask Rong Zhi to be more tolerant. Ma Xueyun had become increasingly volatile recently, beating a maid to death.
The maid's family had been causing a commotion at the mansion for a long time, and the servants in the mansion were all spreading rumors that Concubine Ma had gone mad. Rong Zhi knew he should have a good talk with Ma Xueyun. When he went, Ma Xueyun was looking at flowers and compared the broken flowers to herself. Rong Zhi wanted her to cheer up, telling her that life wasn't just about love; there were many other things worth doing.
