Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 40 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Pei Xingjian had already captured all of Li Ming's private army. Li Ming, who originally intended to make a final stand, was now completely dumbfounded. Consort Yang, overwhelmed by anxiety, immediately vomited blood. She repeatedly pleaded for Li Ming, taking full responsibility and claiming it was all her own planning.
Consort Yang knew she was seriously ill and did not have much time left, so she resorted to this plan out of concern that Li Zhi would make things difficult for Li Ming after his ascension. Consort Yang begged Li Shimin to show leniency towards Li Ming. Li Shimin was already furious and ordered Consort Yang and Li Ming to be separately confined. He dispatched Li Zhi to thoroughly investigate the matter, forbidding anyone from spreading this royal scandal.
With everything settled, Kudi Liuli let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed due to exhaustion. Li Zhi immediately picked her up and left. At the same time, he sent for two physicians to treat Kudi Liuli. The physicians were also helpless. Li Zhi forced them to tell the truth. The physicians revealed that Kudi Liuli was of female identity, and therefore they dared not administer medication rashly. Li Zhi was stunned.
After dealing with Li Ming's private army, Pei Xingjian came to report to Li Zhi. He admitted that Kudi Liuli was of female identity and only asked the physicians to treat Kudi Liuli first. He explained the hidden circumstances in detail to Li Zhi. Upon learning that Kudi Liuli was a girl, Li Zhi not only did not blame her but also wanted to clear her mother's name. Li Zhi sent Pei Xingjian and Retinue Wang to handle separate matters.
Li Zhi stayed by Kudi Liuli's side constantly, taking meticulous care of her, and gradually developed feelings of affection for her. Li Zhi learned from the physicians that Kudi Liuli had bravely resisted taking poison, which led to her physical exhaustion. The physicians could only temporarily control her condition with herbal medicine, but could not completely cure it. Pei Xingjian found the king of medicine to help.
The king of medicine needed Cliff dichrocephala to make an antidote, and Pei Xingjian volunteered to gather the herb. Puba Nu suddenly died because the medication had been stopped for too long. Li Zhi and Pei Xingjian, upon hearing this, couldn't help but worry for Kudi Liuli. The king of medicine also broke into a sweat for Kudi Liuli. Pei Xingjian again requested to gather the herb, and Li Zhi placed all his hopes on him.
Retinue Wang saw Li Zhi's deep affection for Kudi Liuli and couldn't help but feel happy for Li Zhi. From then on, he could legitimately dote on Kudi Liuli. Li Zhi couldn't help but recall the first time he met Kudi Liuli, feeling a mix of emotions. Pei Xingjian was going to the mountains to gather herbs. Before his departure, he came to bid farewell to the unconscious Kudi Liuli.
Just as Pei Xingjian was about to leave, Kudi Liuli suddenly woke up. She tightly grasped Pei Xingjian's hand. Pei Xingjian repeatedly apologized to her. Kudi Liuli believed this was the best outcome: Li Zhi and Pei Xingjian were both well, and the Great Tang empire was also well. Pei Xingjian swore to find the Cliff dichrocephala at all costs to cure her. Kudi Liuli thanked Pei Xingjian for everything he had done for her.
Pei Xingjian gave his personal jade pendant to Kudi Liuli, telling her to wait patiently, and also returned Kudi Liuli's sachet to her. Finally, Pei Xingjian couldn't help but kiss Kudi Liuli, and the two reluctantly parted. In the name of the Crown Prince, Li Zhi drastically reorganized the Wardrobe Service, vindicating the unjust case from eleven years ago and clearing An of suspicion.
He immediately imprisoned Zhuo Jinniang and Minister Lin on the spot and appointed Deng Qiniang to temporarily manage the Wardrobe Service. Zhuo Jinniang was stunned, as she had always believed An's daughter was dead, never expecting it to be Kudi Liuli. An Silang and Ni were both surprised and delighted to learn that the Crown Prince was re-examining An's unjust case from that year and that Kudi Liuli was recuperating in the palace.
Consort Yang died from a severe illness after failed treatment. Li Shimin asked Li Zhi to give Li Ming another chance. Li Zhi agreed to spare Li Ming's life, hoping only that he would repent and return to the right path. Li Shimin thanked him for his benevolence and finally felt at ease entrusting the empire to Li Zhi.
