> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Kudi Liuli warned Zhuo Jinniang not to put all her energy into plotting against others, or she would never win. Zhuo Jinniang gnashed her teeth in anger. Pei Xingjian heard the quarrel between Zhuo Jinniang and Kudi Liuli, and quickly called Kudi Liuli aside, advising her not to confront Zhuo Jinniang, lest she bring about a fatal disaster. Pei Xingjian had official business and needed to leave the capital for a period, so he couldn't protect Kudi Liuli.
Kudi Liuli didn't listen at all. Li Shimin's health was deteriorating. He was sometimes clear-headed and sometimes confused. He woke up vaguely after three days of deep sleep. Consort Yang asked Physician Zong for details about Li Shimin's illness, learning that he was critically ill and Physician Zong could do nothing to save him. Consort Yang forbade him from mentioning this in front of others.
Li Ming and Consort Yang discussed getting rid of Cairen Wu and Li Zhi as soon as possible, otherwise it would delay their important plans. The master refined the blazing elixir and sent it to Li Shimin, also instructing Li Shimin to consult an oracle on tomorrow night's auspicious day. Li Shimin struggled to come to the main hall.
The master, with his disciples, performed rituals here in a serious manner, repeatedly claiming that the gods had written the divination result on a slip of paper, which read "Tang Dynasty after three generations, Female Lord Wu". Li Shimin was immediately stunned. The master fanned the flames, advising Li Shimin to quickly eradicate all concubines surnamed Wu in the harem, to prevent chaos in the imperial court.
In fact, this was carefully arranged by Li Ming, intending to make Li Shimin wary of Cairen Wu. Cairen Wu had someone find Silver elixir grass and asked Chamberlain Gao to deliver it to Li Shimin to refresh his mind. Chamberlain Gao asked her to deliver it personally to Li Shimin tomorrow. Cairen Wu just wanted to send it sooner. Chamberlain Gao then called Cairen Wu aside and told her everything about Li Shimin consulting the master for divination.
Cairen Wu immediately sought Li Zhi to discuss countermeasures. Li Zhi firmly believed that Li Shimin would not believe such demagogic words, but Cairen Wu dared not be Careless. Li Shimin had bestowed many gold and silver jewels upon her in the past two days, indicating his guilt towards her. Cairen Wu concluded that Li Shimin would take her life before his own demise.
Li Zhi wanted to go and explain to Li Shimin, exposing the master's absurd words, but Cairen Wu and Pei Xingjian desperately stopped him. Pei Xingjian reconsidered and came up with a temporary plan. The imperial concubines presented a second task, asking Zhuo Jinniang and Kudi Liuli each to make a skirt to match a red shawl, specifically requesting it to be simple. Zhuo Jinniang was at a loss for ideas and asked Deng Qiniang about Kudi Liuli's creativity.
Deng Qiniang knew nothing, and Suffer a severe scolding from Zhuo Jinniang. Kudi Liuli saw Deng Qiniang crying and running out, feeling deeply empathetic. Li Shimin's health was getting worse; he was in a deep sleep all day, occasionally waking up. Cairen Wu brought an elixir from a hermit, instructing Li Shimin to take it daily on time. Chamberlain Gao had already sent people to carefully inspect it, and it was made from precious medicinal ingredients.
Li Shimin suddenly noticed Cairen Wu's arm was injured and pressed her for the reason. Cairen Wu had to admit that the hermit needed the fresh blood of a noble women as a medicinal guide. She did not hesitate to cut her arm and draw blood to refine the elixir for Li Shimin. Li Shimin was deeply moved.
Zhuo Jinniang felt that Deng Qiniang was unreliable, so she sent Bi to monitor Kudi Liuli's every move, and also told her to look through Kudi Liuli's sewing box, hoping to find Kudi Liuli's dress patterns. As a result, she found nothing. Bi discovered that Kudi Liuli had been leaving early and returning late recently, and often worked overtime.
Zhuo Jinniang concluded that Kudi Liuli would make the dress elaborate and luxurious, so she discarded her previous design patterns and started anew. Deng Qiniang came to talk with Kudi Liuli overnight. Kudi Liuli was wary of her. Deng Qiniang clearly stated that Zhuo Jinniang no longer trusted her. She was just curious about where Kudi Liuli went every day, leaving early and returning late, and was very curious about the dress she designed.
Kudi Liuli was worried that Zhuo Jinniang would play tricks again. She hid in the Mortuary every day to make clothes, and she only made a simple white dress. However, she deliberately acted very busy, just to mislead Zhuo Jinniang. Zhuo Jinniang would then make a more elaborate and luxurious dress, which would violate the imperial concubines' requirements, leading to more effort with less effect, and ultimately no success. Deng Qiniang couldn't help but admire Kudi Liuli's brilliant foresight.
Li Shimin took the elixir sent by Cairen Wu for several days in a row, and his condition gradually improved. He was in a great mood and immediately sent Chamberlain Gao to doubly reward Cairen Wu. Cairen Wu had already made up her mind to Enter the monastic life. She ignored Chamberlain Gao and also asked Yuliu to bring scissors to cut her hair and become a nun.
