Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 27 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
It turned out that Pei Xingjian learned that Li Zhi had called Kudi Liuli to the Eastern Palace, so he went to ask Cairen Wu to go to the Eastern Palace, but Cairen Wu was not there. Pei Xingjian went to the study to find Li Zhi, but Yuanlang tried to put him off. He became suspicious, so he secretly climbed onto the roof and saw Li Zhi and Kudi Liuli had been drugged unconscious by an aphrodisiac.
He quickly jumped in through the window, took away the aphrodisiac, had Retinue Wang bring ice, and forcibly woke Li Zhi and Kudi Liuli. Pei Xingjian concluded that Li Ming would soon bring Li Shimin to catch them red-handed, so he decided to play along and had Retinue Wang lead Li Shimin and others to the backyard. This not only cleared Li Zhi of suspicion but also demonstrated his filial piety and benevolence.
Cairen Wu learned the whole story from Retinue Wang, but she was still very confused, not knowing if the rumors in the palace about Li Zhi's preference for men were true or false. Retinue Wang strongly vouched for the innocence of Li Zhi and Kudi Liuli, stating that Li Zhi merely appreciated Kudi Liuli's talent. Only then did Cairen Wu feel relieved.
Pei Xingjian brought medicine to Kudi Liuli and learned that Kudi Liuli had seen Sun Decheng's message and went to find Sun Decheng without even eating. Sun Decheng then rushed to bring Kudi Liuli osmanthus cakes, and only then did Pei Xingjian realize that something was wrong, so he hurried to chase after Kudi Liuli. Kudi Liuli rushed to meet Sun Decheng. When she reached a secluded spot, she was strangled with a rope by a masked assassin.
Fortunately, Pei Xingjian arrived in time and broke the rope, and the assassin, scared, fled in a hurry. Kudi Liuli was suffocated and fainted, so Pei Xingjian had to perform artificial respiration to rescue her. Kudi Liuli finally woke up. Pei Xingjian saw that the waist tag dropped by the assassin belonged to Cao's mansion, thus concluding that Li Ming had sent someone to assassinate Kudi Liuli. The assassin stumbled and fled in all directions.
Sun Decheng met him head-on and held onto him tightly. Pei Xingjian immediately threw a dart, and the assassin took the opportunity to escape. Pei Xingjian entrusted Sun Decheng to go to the Mortuary to take care of Kudi Liuli. He immediately chased the assassin, who disappeared near the Palace of Bright Future. Pei Xingjian encountered a patrolling guard, handed him the waist tag from Cao's mansion, and asked the guard captain for help in catching the assassin.
The more Sun Decheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suspected that Pei Xingjian had deliberately let the assassin go by throwing the dart, and he worried that Pei Xingjian and Li Ming were in league. Kudi Liuli firmly believed in Pei Xingjian's character, but Sun Decheng was still uneasy and gave her many warnings and instructions. That night, Kudi Liuli was so scared that she couldn't sleep.
Pei Xingjian played the flute on the roof to embolden her. Kudi Liuli gradually relaxed her guard and fell into a deep sleep at the head of the bed. Rumors about Kudi Liuli's assassination spread like wildfire in the palace. Everyone suspected that Li Ming and Consort Yang had sent people to retaliate against Kudi Liuli. The guard captain returned the waist tag from Cao's mansion to Li Ming, who offered all sorts of explanations.
When he learned that rumors were rampant in the palace, all suspecting that he and his mother were seeking opportunities for revenge against Kudi Liuli, Li Ming promised to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. Consort Yang advised Li Ming not to act rashly again, asserting that Kudi Liuli could not withstand major challenges.
Li Zhi was worried about Kudi Liuli, so he brought Retinue Wang to the Wardrobe Service, but after hesitating for a long time at the entrance, he quietly left. He was concerned about causing Kudi Liuli unnecessary trouble. Zhuo Jinniang returned after recovering from her injuries and saw the exquisite peonies on the ceremonial dress Kudi Liuli had embroidered for Empress Zhangsun, which was also double-sided embroidery.
Zhuo Jinniang knew that the only person in the world who mastered this unique skill was the deceased An. Her jealousy surged, and she wanted to get rid of Kudi Liuli to prevent future problems. Deng Qiniang tried her best to defend Kudi Liuli, but Zhuo Jinniang remained resentful. Deng Qiniang was responsible for embroidering a shawl for Madam Wei, and Kudi Liuli would help her embroider whenever she had time.
She also taught her double-sided embroidery hand-in-hand, for which Deng Qiniang was extremely grateful. Zhuo Jinniang suddenly sent someone to call Kudi Liuli. Deng Qiniang guessed that Zhuo Jinniang would ask about the double-sided embroidery. She asked about the relationship between Kudi Liuli and An, and Kudi Liuli quickly found an excuse to cover it up. As Deng Qiniang had expected, Zhuo Jinniang pressed Kudi Liuli relentlessly about the origin of her double-sided embroidery.
Kudi Liuli claimed repeatedly that a deceased immortal maiden from Yixin Palace had taught her the double-sided embroidery techniques in a dream, and that was how she learned this extraordinary skill. Kudi Liuli promised that the next time the immortal maiden appeared in her dream, she would truthfully report it to Zhuo Jinniang. Zhuo Jinniang didn't believe it at all, but she didn't want to lose this rare opportunity, so she could only let it be.
Sun Decheng heard that Pei Xingjian went to the Wardrobe Service to find Kudi Liuli. He personally brewed longan and red date soup and sent Shun to deliver it to Kudi Liuli. He also instructed Shun to make sure Pei Xingjian drank a bowl, specifically using the bowl with the green rim. Sun Decheng put medicine in that soup bowl, planning for it to take effect when Pei Xingjian left the palace. Shun advised Sun Decheng to think twice. Sun Decheng suspected that Pei Xingjian was a threat to Kudi Liuli and wanted to poison him to eliminate the hidden danger around Kudi Liuli.
