Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 23 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Kudi Liuli suggested using Golden silk to embroider the peony petals and decorating them with Tianshan jade. Cairen Wu was very satisfied. Songtao overheard their conversation and immediately reported it to Consort Yang. Consort Yang was secretly pleased. She knew that Empress Zhangsun loved peonies the most during her lifetime. If Cairen Wu dared to use this design, she would definitely anger Li Shimin. She wanted to see Cairen Wu in trouble.
Li Zhi transferred Mo Kun back to the capital for a new assignment. As soon as Mo Kun arrived in the capital, he came to find Pei Xingjian, eager to find something to do. Pei Xingjian asked him to secretly investigate Kudi Liuli's Life experience, hoping to clear her mother's name. When Shun went to the Warehouse, he accidentally learned that Pei Xingjian had sent someone to investigate An's old case. He quickly reported it to Sun Decheng.
Sun Decheng was worried that if Pei Xingjian found out Kudi Liuli was An's daughter, it would bring harm to Kudi Liuli. Shun also broke out in a cold sweat for Kudi Liuli, and he couldn't figure out whether Pei Xingjian was a good person or a bad person. Mo Kun quickly found out that An was Kudi Yenzhong's wife. She was known as the best embroiderer under heaven and deeply trusted by Empress Zhangsun.
An grew tired of life in the palace, so she resigned from Empress Zhangsun and left the imperial palace. Later, An was inexplicably imprisoned for helping Consort Yang sew a ceremonial robe of the empress for her enthronement. An poisoned her daughter and then hanged herself in prison. Mo Kun reported the investigation results in detail to Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian reviewed everything from beginning to end and concluded that Kudi Liuli was An's daughter, who was saved by Sun Decheng and then stayed in the Mortuary as a medical official. Pei Xingjian also guessed that the reason Kudi Liuli returned to the palace was that she had found the culprit who harmed her mother and wanted to come back to avenge her mother.
Pei Xingjian remembered that eleven years ago, he and Kudi Liuli became connected because of a camellia handkerchief. Later, he accidentally saved Kudi Liuli, who had escaped from a coffin. Pei Xingjian had collected An's belongings for eleven years, and now he could finally return them to their rightful owner. Pei Xingjian excitedly came to find Kudi Liuli, promising to give her important items.
Zhuo Jinniang was worried that the dress Kudi Liuli made for Cairen Wu would overshadow Consort Yang. She sent Kudi Liuli away early in the morning, assigning her many tasks. Then, she secretly went to Kudi Liuli's bedroom with Deng Qiniang. The two of them turned the room upside down. Zhuo Jinniang finally found Kudi Liuli's embroidered peony design under the bed. She was ecstatic. Pei Xingjian came to deliver An's belongings to Kudi Liuli.
From afar, he saw Zhuo Jinniang and Deng Qiniang ransacking her room. He therefore concluded that Zhuo Jinniang was the one who harmed An back then. He broke out in a cold sweat, worried for Kudi Liuli, and had to quietly leave first. As Pei Xingjian left, he saw Kudi Liuli and advised her not to return yet. He also told her about Zhuo Jinniang ransacking her room and arranged to meet her at Changchun Lake in the evening.
Pei Xingjian arrived at Changchun Lake early. After much deliberation, he decided not to hand over An's belongings to Kudi Liuli, still feeling that it would be safer if he kept them. Mo Kun was patrolling the imperial palace with his guards and happened to see Pei Xingjian waiting for Kudi Liuli by the lake, so he exchanged a few pleasantries with him. Kudi Liuli then came to meet Pei Xingjian, curious about what good thing he had.
Pei Xingjian lied, saying a friend had given him a bottle of wine, which he had originally intended to give to Kudi Liuli, but he was afraid she would lose her composure if she drank too much, so he temporarily changed his mind and bought Kudi Liuli her favorite osmanthus cake. Kudi Liuli was very displeased but still ate it happily. Pei Xingjian and Kudi Liuli sat side by side by Changchun Lake, talking intimately.
Their eyes met, and they both developed unique feelings for each other. Kudi Liuli wanted to meet him there often. Pei Xingjian was worried that too many people talking would cause trouble, so he arranged to meet her at Yixin Palace in the future. Kudi Liuli heard that a concubine had died in Yixin Palace and that it was often haunted.
Pei Xingjian decided to fuel the rumors, amplifying them infinitely so that everyone would be afraid to go, and the two of them could date there in peace. Kudi Liuli felt warm inside. That night, Pei Xingjian deliberately disguised himself as a ghost and appeared in Yixin Palace, seen by a passing palace maid. This further solidified the rumors of Yixin Palace being haunted. Pei Xingjian's actions successfully cleared the way for his future dates with Kudi Liuli.
Today was the Ullambana Festival. Li Shimin personally attended the sacrificial ceremony. Concubines and princes from all palaces came to accompany Li Shimin, but only Consort Yang and Cairen Wu were late.
