Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 33 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
The Two concubines praised Kudi Liuli's white Gauze skirt profusely, thinking it matched the red shawl even better. Zhuo Jinniang was furious and relentlessly questioned Kudi Liuli about the reason for her absence from the competition. Kudi Liuli knew she had already lost this round, and even if she revealed that Bi had locked her up, Zhuo Jinniang would find various excuses to clear herself of suspicion.
Kudi Liuli deliberately answered evasively, detailing her ideas and creativity for making the white dress. Zhuo Jinniang quickly interrupted her, forcing her to explain the reason for her absence. Kudi Liuli lied, claiming she only got inspiration last night and rushed to make the dress overnight, resulting in her oversleeping and missing today's competition. Zhuo Jinniang immediately exposed Kudi Liuli's lie. The Two concubines no longer pursued the matter, telling them both to focus on preparing the embroidered dragon robe.
Minister Lin specially prepared a private embroidery room for Kudi Liuli, allowing her to focus on embroidering the dragon robe. Zhuo Jinniang was enraged. She vowed to strive for perfection this time and definitely defeat Kudi Liuli. While Kudi Liuli was not in her room, Zhuo Jinniang secretly came to the embroidery room to investigate, discovering that Kudi Liuli was using a needlework technique she had never seen before, and the dragon was embroidered so vividly.
Zhuo Jinniang concluded that she was bound to lose this time and decided to deal a harsh blow to Kudi Liuli. She secretly hid by the door. Kudi Liuli pushed the door open and was knocked unconscious by Zhuo Jinniang on the spot. In a blink of an eye, two days passed. Bi had not seen Zhuo Jinniang, nor had she seen Kudi Liuli.
Bi wanted to send food to Zhuo Jinniang, so she asked Deng Qiniang, but Deng Qiniang also did not know their whereabouts. It turned out that Zhuo Jinniang had locked Kudi Liuli in the secret room of the Wardrobe Service, forcing Kudi Liuli to finish embroidering the dragon robe. Kudi Liuli flatly refused. Zhuo Jinniang then brought up An's matter to threaten her.
Kudi Liuli, with a flash of inspiration, agreed to finish embroidering the dragon robe and sent Zhuo Jinniang out to prepare food. Deng Qiniang quickly discovered Zhuo Jinniang's movements and quietly followed her to the secret room. Seeing Zhuo Jinniang carrying a food box in to deliver food to Kudi Liuli, Deng Qiniang immediately understood everything. After Kudi Liuli finished eating, she began to embroider the dragon robe. Zhuo Jinniang carefully observed her needlework, finding it strangely familiar.
Kudi Liuli's demeanor and appearance were identical to An's. She was terrified and forced herself to calm down. Li Shimin was critically ill, falling into a coma all day long. Even the physicians were powerless. Li Ming believed that Chamberlain Gao had tipped off Cairen Wu, who then found an elixir that allowed Li Shimin to briefly recover for a few days, giving her a chance to shave her head and become a nun, thus narrowly escaping.
Chamberlain Gao repeatedly defended himself. Deng Qiniang secretly came to the secret room under the cover of darkness, intending to rescue Kudi Liuli. Kudi Liuli knew that Zhuo Jinniang still wanted to use her to embroider the dragon robe and win the title of the best embroiderer under heaven, so she would not harm her for now. Deng Qiniang, entrusted by Pei Xingjian, could not stand idly by.
Kudi Liuli asked her to find something that would allow her to defeat Zhuo Jinniang. Li Ming wanted Li Shimin to depose Li Zhi, but Li Shimin was already unconscious. He did not want to see Li Zhi ascend the throne, so he intended to frame Li Zhi for regicide and usurpation, and then replace him as the new ruler. Consort Yang encouraged Li Ming to proceed, promising to help him with all her might.
When Chamberlain Gao went to the latrine, he was strangled to death on the spot. Li Ming called Chamberlain Pan, promising to make him the chief eunuch, and threatening that Chamberlain Gao would not live past today, simply because he supported Cairen Wu and Li Zhi. A palace maid reported the news of Chamberlain Gao's accidental death. Chamberlain Pan trembled with fear. Consort Yang immediately ordered Chamberlain Pan to become the chief eunuch.
Li Ming handed him a packet of poison, instructing him to poison Li Shimin and then frame Li Zhi. Chamberlain Pan fell to his knees, begging for mercy. Li Ming threatened and intimidated him, saying he would send him to the underworld to accompany Chamberlain Gao. Chamberlain Pan weighed his options repeatedly before reluctantly agreeing. Deng Qiniang timely delivered a packet of phosphorus powder to Kudi Liuli, giving her many instructions before hastily leaving.
Zhuo Jinniang then brought food to Kudi Liuli, urging her to finish embroidering the dragon's eyes as soon as possible, otherwise she would miss tomorrow's competition. Kudi Liuli feigned that the light was too dim to see clearly.
