Untouchable Lovers Episode 51 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Tianji Pavilion, in alliance with Tuoba Yun, decided to divide and conquer the Great Wei court. Meanwhile, Tuoba Hong thought Tuoba Yun had died in the fire and planned to give him a grand burial, but the ministers submitted petitions in opposition, which greatly troubled Tuoba Hong. Just then, Hong Xiu came to bring him supplements and learned of Tuoba Hong's worries.
Hong Xiu said he was the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven could naturally do as he pleased. Hearing this, Tuoba Hong seemed to suddenly understand. Yes, he was the Son of Heaven, and he could do whatever he wanted. In the Regent's Estate, Liu Chuyu was torn between trusting Tian Rujing and trusting Rong Zhi.
On one hand, she didn't want to believe Tian Rujing's words, but on the other hand, she didn't dare to fully trust Rong Zhi. She didn't even dare to see Rong Zhi now. Liu Chuyu recalled every little detail after she married Rong Zhi, and her head throbbed. She swept the poison bottle on the table to the ground, but the bottle was unusually sturdy and remained undamaged even after falling.
In court, Tuoba Hong proposed a grand burial for Tuoba Yun. Rong Zhi and some other ministers spoke out against it, making little headway. After court, Rong Zhi still wanted to remonstrate, but Eunuch Pan, who was by Tuoba Hong's side, stopped him and told him that Tuoba Hong now only trusted Hong Xiu's words, and he should no longer mention the matter of Prince Kang. Just then, Hong Xiu came over.
During their conversation, Rong Zhi realized that Hong Xiu was indeed different from before; he had truly underestimated her. That night, Eunuch Pan was found drowned in the lake. Hong Xiu received the news and smiled faintly, thinking that this garrulous Eunuch Pan, who had ruined her plans, was sure to die. Eunuch Pan was Tuoba Hong's trusted confidant. After his death, Tuoba Hong thoroughly investigated the entire palace.
A secret letter was found in Eunuch Pan's room, indicating that Eunuch Pan was a person Rong Zhi had planted by his side. Tuoba Hong was furious. Hong Xiu then came in and advised Tuoba Hong to de-escalate the matter. Eunuch Pan's death was very disadvantageous to Rong Zhi, but Rong Zhi was currently concerned about Liu Chuyu's state and had no interest in state affairs.
In the evening, Rong Zhi hosted a banquet in the front hall, inviting Liu Chuyu to dine with him. However, Liu Chuyu privately called Yueya over, which made Rong Zhi furious. He wanted to reconcile, and he didn't know why Liu Chuyu did this. Liu Chuyu's face was no better than Rong Zhi's. She asked Rong Zhi if he had ever regretted deceiving others in his life.
Rong Zhi didn't know why she asked, but he answered no. Liu Chuyu was completely disappointed in him. After the banquet, Yueya couldn't help but question Liu Chuyu why she treated Rong Zhi that way, when he was so good to her. Liu Chuyu sneered. She now had no idea what conspiracy was hidden behind her marriage, and she didn't want to know. This place made her heart grow cold; she wanted to leave here, to leave Rong Zhi.
The next day, in court, Tuoba Hong insisted on burying Tuoba Yun with the rites of a prince of the blood, and even forced all officials to wear mourning clothes for Tuoba Yun. Tuoba Yun was a rebellious minister and traitor, and Tuoba Hong's actions were completely against the rites. Rong Zhi knew that Tuoba Hong did this merely for his own peace of mind, but Rong Zhi firmly refused to cooperate.
This action thoroughly angered Tuoba Hong, who ordered Rong Zhi to be imprisoned in the Regent's Estate, forbidden to leave without an imperial decree. Tuoba Hong's headaches grew increasingly severe. Hong Xiu specifically invited many folk doctors for this, learning methods to alleviate them. Hong Xiu steeped medicinal herbs in hot water, and after warming her hands, massaged Tuoba Hong's head, which indeed relieved his headache. Tuoba Hong was deeply moved by Hong Xiu's thoughtfulness.
Tuoba Hong had known for a long time that Peng Ge would not be able to get Huo Xuan's head. After Peng Ge returned, he ordered Peng Ge to immediately take an imperial decree to the Huo Family Army and take command, also stating that Huo Xuan had committed rebellion, but Tuoba Hong had magnanimously spared her life, intending to win the favor of the Huo Family Army. Tuoba Hong lost his temper over the officials interceding for Rong Zhi.
Hong Xiu tactfully advised him not to fall out with his uncle-nephew, Rong Zhi, over Tuoba Yun. Tuoba Hong grew even angrier upon hearing this. In Tuoba Hong's view, Rong Zhi was now arrogant due to favor. Hong Xiu seized the opportunity to instigate, saying that this was raising a tiger to invite calamity, and he would eventually be harmed by the tiger. The news of Rong Zhi falling out of favor reached Tuoba Yun's ears.
Tuoba Yun finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Rong Zhi had finally met his match. Rong Zhi thought of Liu Chuyu's resolute words; she said that he trampled on other people's hearts at will to achieve his goals. Such accusations and misunderstandings greatly angered Rong Zhi. Yueya came over to curry favor, proactively revealing that she was Hong Xiu's person, intending to show goodwill to Rong Zhi.
However, Rong Zhi didn't need it; he only wanted a sincere heart, which Yueya couldn't give. Yueya felt indignant after being rebuffed by Rong Zhi. She knew that Rong Zhi had feelings for Liu Chuyu, and as long as Liu Chuyu didn't leave, she would never have a chance for Rong Zhi to accept her. Previously, Liu Chuyu had wanted Yueya to help her leave, but Yueya was timid and afraid of trouble then. Now, she agreed.
The next morning, Yueya went into the palace with Hong Xiu's token. After Yueya returned to the estate, she was stopped by Shen Yu. Shen Yu had seen Yueya leave the estate that morning, and her being out for a whole day was very suspicious. Shen Yu asked Yueya to hand over the packet of medicine hidden in her bosom. Yueya said it was medicine for women's menstruation.
Although Shen Yu didn't believe her, he couldn't force her due to Yueya's status. On the other side, Tuoba Hong had not attended court for three days. He was resting in Hong Xiu's hall, and the officials outside were all demanding an audience, but they were sent back by Hong Xiu. The Great Wei court was now in a precarious state, but Rong Zhi had no mind for it; Liu Chuyu wanted to see him, and he was very happy.
Shen Yu was very anxious about Rong Zhi's current state. In the quiet and serene mountains, Huo Xuan saw the exquisite dishes in the courtyard, returned to the house, and saw the shadow play meticulously prepared by Gu Huan. The surprise was far from over; after lifting the curtain, Huo Xuan saw the pearl hairpin she had once left at Gu Huan's medical clinic. She hadn't expected him to have kept it all this time.
Gu Huan proposed to Huo Xuan using the shadow play. Huo Xuan saw all of Gu Huan's intentions in her eyes, and she actively leaned in to give him a kiss. That night, Gu Huan and Huo Xuan got married in a small mountain cabin, dressed in big red wedding attire, and promised to be together in their next lives.
Afterward, a general from the Huo Family Army found Huo Xuan, wanting to persuade her to return to the army, but Huo Xuan's mind was made up, and she coldly sent the general away.
