Untouchable Lovers Episode 47 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Hong Xiu, as she spoke, suddenly brought up the matter of the late emperor's death. She said that the late emperor had known the cause of Madam Yue's death during his lifetime, but at that time, the Empress Dowager's influence was already well-established, and the late emperor dared not reveal the truth, dying in a mix of grief and indignation. Tuoba Hong began to suspect the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager felt uneasy in her heart and wanted to use family ties to manipulate Tuoba Hong and Rong Zhi. Rong Zhi remained expressionless after hearing this. Ma Xueyun's death had made him suspicious.
Upon careful investigation, he discovered that it was the Empress Dowager who had been instigating discord between Liu Chuyu and Ma Xueyun, and now she was using the same method to create friction between Liu Chuyu and Huo Xuan, fearing that Rong Zhi's power would grow with their help and eventually become uncontrollable by her. The Empress Dowager denied her actions, but Tuoba Hong was already convinced that she had deliberately forced the late emperor to his death back then.
He issued an edict for the Empress Dowager to recuperate quietly in Xuanguang Palace from now on, without permission to leave the hall. The mute maid saw the desired outcome and immediately committed suicide by crashing into the main hall. Liu Chuyu and Huo Xuan's three rounds of competition were complete, with Huo Xuan ultimately winning. Liu Chuyu had nothing to say about the result, but she had a question.
Liu Chuyu followed Huo Xuan out, wanting to know if it was Huo Xuan who had orchestrated the use of the Liubei Palace incident to expose and suppress the Empress Dowager. Huo Xuan was very frank; like Liu Chuyu, she only wanted to clarify the matter of the vampire butterflies' killings. Liu Chuyu received Huo Xuan's answer and told her that she would accept her loss and leave on her own in three days.
In the Imperial Garden, Liu Chuyu came to find Hong Xiu. Previously, Liu Chuyu thought Hong Xiu was simple, but after this incident, she suddenly found Hong Xiu somewhat incomprehensible. The dance Hong Xiu performed when she first entered the palace was deliberate, so was her affection for Tuoba Hong also fake? Liu Chuyu posed this question, and Hong Xiu chuckled lightly.
Tuoba Hong was attracted to her youth and beauty, and she liked Tuoba Hong's power and nobility; this was her view on relationships. Liu Chuyu couldn't understand Hong Xiu's perspective. She asked about the mastermind behind the Liubei Palace incident, and Hong Xiu told her that both she and the mute maid were pawns in someone else's hands, and that Rong Zhi had already been planning this for a long time.
Liu Chuyu was so surprised she couldn't accept what she heard. Hong Xiu told her to go to the Feng family to understand. After Liu Chuyu left, Hong Xiu lightly touched her belly and told her personal maid that the most terrifying thing in this world was not vampire butterflies, but the human heart. Liu Chuyu hurried to the Feng family, just in time to see Shen Yu sealing it off.
Feng Tai, the eldest brother of the Feng family, repeatedly claimed that Rong Zhi was ungrateful and had betrayed his family. Meanwhile, in Xuanguang Palace, the Empress Dowager held toys and clothes that Tuoba Hong had used as a child, muttering to herself about her affection for Tuoba Hong. Outside the hall, the eunuchs monitoring her carefully closed the doors and windows. Rong Zhi returned to his manor, where Liu Chuyu was already waiting in the study.
Her expression was solemn as she questioned Rong Zhi why he was so unfathomable. He had annihilated the Feng family and manipulated everyone, so were she and Huo Xuan also pawns in his hands? To Liu Chuyu's repeated accusations, Rong Zhi did not offer a single defense. Liu Chuyu left in anger. In truth, no matter how Rong Zhi schemed, his care for Liu Chuyu was genuine, but if he didn't say it, how would Liu Chuyu know?
Liu Chuyu felt disappointed in her heart. She confided her feelings to Qing Yue. Lan Ruo, who was eavesdropping nearby, was discovered. Lan Ruo was Rong Zhi's person and genuinely good to Liu Chuyu, so Liu Chuyu promised Lan Ruo she would not leave without saying goodbye. As night fell, Lan Ruo told Qing Yue interesting things about winter in Pingcheng. Qing Yue's eyes lit up, wishing winter would arrive immediately. Liu Chuyu knew Lan Ruo's intention but said nothing.
Lan Ruo advised her not to leave Pingcheng, but Liu Chuyu shook her head; her resolve to leave was firm. Wang Ze secretly climbed over the wall again to find Qing Yue and boldly confessed his feelings to her, which angered Qing Yue, who cursed him as a hooligan. Wang Ze tried to pursue her but was stopped by Shen Yu. Qing Yue was simple, but Shen Yu was not.
He knew Wang Ze was testing Qing Yue to find out if Liu Chuyu would truly honor her bet. Wang Ze admitted he had a bit of that intention, but his feelings for Qing Yue were also genuine. Qing Yue was annoyed by Wang Ze's sudden confession and was playing with a slingshot in the courtyard. When Shen Yu came over, Qing Yue mysteriously slipped him something that looked like a sachet but also like a flour bag.
She then turned and ran off, leaving Shen Yu bewildered. Liu Chuyu thought Qing Yue had given him a large sachet, but Qing Yue whispered to her that it was a flour bag. Shen Yu had been trying to curry favor with her to get news of Liu Chuyu, and Qing Yue gave him the flour bag to make it easier for him to send things.
Liu Chuyu was defeated by Qing Yue's slowness and joined her in playing with water in the courtyard. Their laughter reached the study. Rong Zhi heard the sound and immediately ran towards Danfeng Pavilion. Seeing Rong Zhi enter, Lan Ruo pulled Qing Yue out the door to give them some alone time. Rong Zhi was usually restrained in his emotions, but upon seeing Liu Chuyu, he suddenly couldn't hold back. He embraced Liu Chuyu, hoping she wouldn't leave Pingcheng.
Liu Chuyu asked him why, and Rong Zhi actually said it was for the greater good of the country. In his heart, the nation would always be greater than personal feelings. Liu Chuyu felt distressed and disappointed after hearing this, suddenly feeling very weary. Meanwhile, in Prince Kang's Manor, Tuoba Yun was deranged, with only Le Yun caring for him. Tuoba Yun accidentally knocked over a bowl, and the guards came in and started beating and kicking him.
Even though Le Yun shielded him, he still inevitably got injured. At this time in the palace, Tuoba Hong, with a solemn expression, told Hong Xiu that his playmate from years ago had not died accidentally, but had been deliberately killed by him because he suspected she had leaked his information. Afterwards, he knew he had wronged her but dared not regret it, as the path of an emperor was inherently cold-blooded and ruthless.
Too many things had happened recently, first Tuoba Yun's rebellion, and then the Empress Dowager's incident. Tuoba Hong could not afford to be soft-hearted; he had hardened his heart to reach where he was today, step by step. Tuoba Hong tightly embraced Hong Xiu, now only having her by his side. Hong Xiu touched her slightly bulging belly and promised to always stay with him. Liu Chuyu ignored Rong Zhi. She sat on a swing in the garden, lost in thought. Rong Zhi quietly came over to push the swing, wanting to have a proper talk with her.
