Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 14 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Sun Decheng added a fake death pill to the food, hoping to rescue Kudi Liuli in the name of the Mortuary. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Jinniang suddenly arrived, overturned the food, and suspected Sun Decheng and Kudi Liuli of collusion. The jailer dared not offend Zhuo Jinniang, so he drove Sun Decheng away. Before leaving, Sun Decheng repeatedly warned Kudi Liuli to beware of villains. Sun Decheng returned to the Mortuary dejectedly. Shun sat outside the door secretly shedding tears.
He dared not face Sun Decheng, feeling guilty. Zhuo Jinniang relentlessly pressed Kudi Liuli, forcing her to reveal her master. Kudi Liuli saw through her sinister intentions and had no choice but to brace herself and deal with her, falsely claiming that she had read a book on clothing design in the Mortuary when she was a child. It was a burial object of a concubine, and Kudi Liuli put it back in the coffin after reading it.
Zhuo Jinniang asked her to recall the clothing styles carefully, and Kudi Liuli promised to think about it after eating. Sun Decheng personally brewed medicine for Shun, but found him missing. Sun Decheng asked Fuzi and Guizi, but they also didn't know Shun's whereabouts. The three immediately split up to look for him. Sun Decheng found Shun secretly shedding tears by the lake in the imperial garden.
He showed concern for Shun and wanted to take him back to the Mortuary. Shun trembled with fear and even threatened to jump into the lake. Sun Decheng earnestly persuaded him, and Shun had no choice but to admit that he had believed Zhuo Jinniang's instigation, mistakenly thinking that Sun Decheng only cared about Kudi Liuli and ignored his well-being. That's why he confessed about Kudi Liuli selling sachets, leading to Kudi Liuli being wanted.
He wanted to atone for his sin with death. Sun Decheng thanked him for not revealing Kudi Liuli's Life experience. Shun knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake to Sun Decheng, regretting having harmed Kudi Liuli. Sun Decheng didn't blame him at all and advised him to live well. Zhuo Jinniang sent someone to deliver food to Kudi Liuli. Only after eating her fill did Kudi Liuli remember Pei Xingjian's matter.
However, she was imprisoned and couldn't see Li Zhi at all. Deng Qiniang asked Zhuo Jinniang for leave, wanting to visit her uncle tomorrow when she went to the West Market to make purchases. Zhuo Jinniang agreed for her to return before curfew. Cao learned that Deng Qiniang was visiting home and used this opportunity to make a big fuss, beating gongs and drums at the entrance of Cao Dyeing Shop, heavily promoting her family's clothes.
Ni passed by Cao and heard that Deng Qiniang was Zhuo Jinniang's personal disciple. She wanted to ask Deng Qiniang for help in delivering a message for Kudi Liuli. Ni came to Pei Xingjian for discussion. Pei Xingjian also agreed with her idea, so he went with her to find Deng Qiniang. As soon as they saw Deng Qiniang, they directly stated their purpose. Deng Qiniang refused before they could finish. Cao Wu quickly mediated.
Pei Xingjian only wanted to know if Kudi Liuli was in danger and begged Deng Qiniang to make arrangements for Kudi Liuli so she would suffer less. Deng Qiniang used the excuse of having little influence to repeatedly decline. Pei Xingjian had to make a concession, only asking Deng Qiniang to check if Kudi Liuli had been beaten. Ni and Cao Wu knelt together to plead with Deng Qiniang.
Only then did Deng Qiniang reluctantly agree to help inquire about the situation and convey messages, stating she could do nothing else. Li Shimin's condition improved slightly. Concubines from various palaces and imperial princes all vied to visit him. Only Cairen Wu did not come; she was helping Li Zhi copy scriptures.
Cairen Wu drew a pattern of Bao Er, the rescued pigeon, and asked Songtao to send it to the Wardrobe Service to make a cushion, preferably embroidered by Physician Dou. Songtao arrived at the Wardrobe Service, met Deng Qiniang, handed the pattern to her, and specifically named Physician Dou to do it. Deng Qiniang seized the opportunity to ask Zhuo Jinniang to intercede for Physician Dou.
Zhuo Jinniang personally went to the prison to check the progress of her pattern drawing. Kudi Liuli drew many patterns of shrouds worn by the deceased. Zhuo Jinniang flipped through them from beginning to end, secretly admiring them in her heart, then handed Kudi Liuli a new notebook, telling her to fill it up. Zhuo Jinniang realized that the patterns were used on shrouds, and was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
Zhuo Jinniang accidentally saw the palace eunuchs removing the most beautiful peonies in the garden. She quickly asked for the reason and learned that the peonies in Consort Yang's palace were not as beautiful as those outside. Chamberlain Pan, to please Consort Yang, had all the outside peonies removed. Zhuo Jinniang was inspired and decided to kill Physician Dou to prevent future trouble. Deng Qiniang visited Kudi Liuli overnight and conveyed greetings from Pei Xingjian and Ni to her.
Kudi Liuli wanted her to help pass a message to Li Zhi, but Deng Qiniang was powerless. She suggested Kudi Liuli help Cairen Wu embroider a cushion, and then ask Cairen Wu for help with an introduction. Kudi Liuli did not want to trouble Cairen Wu but was willing to embroider the cushion for Cairen Wu.
Zhuo Jinniang knew that Cairen Wu was deeply favored by Li Shimin, so she worked all night helping Cairen Wu embroider the cushion until she was exhausted. Deng Qiniang proactively offered to finish the embroidery for her, telling her to go back to her room to rest first. Deng Qiniang brought the half-embroidered cushion to Kudi Liuli overnight.
Kudi Liuli immediately recognized Zhuo Jinniang's needlework for embroidering the pigeon's eyes, which was identical to the needlework for the pheasant eyes on the ceremonial robe of the empress that her mother had modified eleven years ago, confirming that Zhuo Jinniang was the one who killed her mother.
