Untouchable Lovers Episode 43 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Inside the room, Tuoba Hong received a report from his subordinate saying that Rong Zhi was very angry and had left with Chuyu. Tuoba Hong dismissed his subordinate, and seeing Huo Xuan hurriedly enter the room, he revealed his first smile of the day. Tuoba Hong designed this trip to Xishan not only to thwart Tuoba Yun's conspiracy but also to test Rong Zhi, but Rong Zhi's actions disappointed him greatly.
Huo Xuan understood Tuoba Hong's actions, but Rong Zhi also did nothing wrong. Tuoba Hong considered the imperial court, while Rong Zhi cared for family affection; neither was wrong. Amidst the beautiful lake and mountains, greenery abounded. Rong Zhi stopped by the lake, and Chuyu hurriedly caught up. She worried that Rong Zhi was sad, but Rong Zhi secretly shook his head. He didn't think he had done anything wrong this time.
Regarding the Xishan incident, Tuoba Hong was not only calculating against Tuoba Yun but also testing him. If he had received news of the emperor's escort being in danger and hadn't come, Tuoba Hong would likely deal with him first upon returning, because his ambition was too great. What Tuoba Hong wanted was a regent whose emotions outweighed his rationality.
Rong Zhi told Chuyu all this because he wanted to let her know how complicated court politics were and didn't want her to get involved. However, Chuyu felt that no matter how complex or dangerous the situation, she just wanted Rong Zhi to be safe. She liked Rong Zhi, and no matter what, she would not abandon him to danger.
Having grown up amidst schemes, Rong Zhi felt a surge of warmth from Chuyu's pure affection, and he held her tightly. Inside Pingcheng Palace, the Empress Dowager called her elder brother into the room. Her elder brother from the Feng family had rashly brought private soldiers into the palace this time. Although it was to save the Empress Dowager, it was indeed too reckless.
After Peng Ge took control of the imperial palace, he never stopped Ma Zhongliang from forcing the Empress Dowager to commit suicide. This was to monitor the movements of all forces. The Feng family's private soldiers were originally well-hidden, but now they were exposed under Tuoba Hong's gaze. For the Feng family to remain safe, they had to surrender their private soldiers. Having been schemed against by Tuoba Hong, the Empress Dowager felt unhappy.
She specifically went to Consort Qi's palace to tell Consort Qi the news of Tuoba Yun's failure. Seeing Consort Qi's broken and pained expression, the Empress Dowager felt a little better. Consort Qi collapsed to the ground in despair. She understood Tuoba Hong; given Tuoba Hong's ruthlessness, her son would definitely not escape this calamity. Tuoba Yun had kept his rebellion a secret from Consort Qi, hoping that if things were exposed, he could save his mother's life.
Consort Qi knew her son's painstaking efforts, but what was he to do himself? After Tuoba Hong returned to the palace, Consort Qi rushed over to plead for her son. She knelt on the ground, desperately pleading, appealing to emotion and reason. This incident, she argued, was largely instigated by Ma Zhongliang.
Seeing that Tuoba Hong showed no sign of relenting, Consort Qi recalled many years ago, when Tuoba Yun was especially kind to Tuoba Hong, always thinking of him first when he had good things. Tuoba Hong felt moved, but the court officials were watching. Ma Zhongliang insisted that Tuoba Yun was the mastermind of the rebellion, so even if Tuoba Hong wanted to act partially, he had no way to do so. Consort Qi understood Tuoba Hong's meaning.
Since there was no reason for partiality, she would create one for them. In the Regent's Residence, officials close to Rong Zhi were all urging him to submit a memorial, requesting Tuoba Hong to deal with Tuoba Yun's matter as soon as possible. No sooner had the officials left than Rong Zhi received news that Consort Qi had committed suicide in the palace.
At the same time, when Tuoba Yun saw his mother, who had taken full responsibility for the crime of being the rebellion's mastermind and hanged herself, his heart was instantly cut by a knife, and all his hopes turned to ashes. Rong Zhi hurried into the palace. Just as he reached the entrance, he saw Tuoba Yun running out, delirious and already out of his mind. At the same time, Hong Xiu was changing Tuoba Hong's dressing.
Tuoba Hong had suffered a leg injury in Xishan. Tuoba Hong seemed to be the biggest winner, but people ultimately have emotions, and he didn't feel very good in his heart either. Le Yun went to seek an audience with Rong Zhi but was stopped by Shen Yu. Although Le Yun's act of reporting to Chuyu was part of Tuoba Yun's scheme, her starting point was still on Rong Zhi's side. Chuyu spoke to Rong Zhi on her behalf.
Le Yun had come to plead for Tuoba Yun. Rong Zhi and Chuyu went with her to Kangwang's Residence. Tuoba Yun was completely mad. Le Yun begged Rong Zhi to spare him, and she herself was willing to stay by Tuoba Yun's side forever to care for him. Rong Zhi had originally placed Le Yun by Tuoba Yun's side as a pawn, never expecting to ruin Le Yun's life. However, judging by Le Yun's appearance, she was willing.
Coming out of Kangwang's Residence, Rong Zhi was heavy-hearted. Consort Qi had taken the blame for the rebellion by dying, hoping Tuoba Hong would spare Tuoba Yun's life. Tuoba Hong's order hadn't even been given yet when Tuoba Yun went mad. If he went mad, he would have to be mad for the rest of his life, otherwise his life simply couldn't be saved.
Chuyu felt for Rong Zhi's complicated situation and swore she would protect Rong Zhi for a lifetime. Listening to Chuyu's straightforward confession, Rong Zhi rarely blushed. Chuyu entered the palace to see the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager thought it was Chuyu who had arrived in time at Xishan to save Rong Zhi.
However, after hearing from Chuyu that it was Huo Xuan who had saved him, she reminded Chuyu to prepare for a rainy day and guard against those with ill intentions in advance. Chuyu had not yet fully understood the Empress Dowager's words when she heard about the Empress Dowager executing all of Consort Qi's palace staff, which greatly surprised her.
After returning to her residence, she pondered the Empress Dowager's advice to prepare for a rainy day, as if someone wanted to snatch Rong Zhi from her. Lan Ruo heard her words and hesitated, wanting to warn her but not knowing where to start. Since Lan Ruo didn't speak, Chuyu had no way of knowing. Rong Zhi was not in the residence. Tian Rujing seized the opportunity to sneak in and led Chuyu out of the residence. Tian Rujing knew Chuyu cared about Rong Zhi, so he specifically came to tell her Rong Zhi's whereabouts.
