Your Highness Episode 5 Recap
> Your Highness Recap
Physician Xue took action, and the poison suffered by the bodyguard group members was cured, which also relieved Qin Zhan's great worry. The only regret he had was that Physician Xue could not heal Han Yi's eyes. Yu Chen and Qin Zhan parted ways. They could not forget the decisive battle outside Kaifeng City three days later.
In front of fellow martial artists, it was called a decisive battle, but between them, it was merely an opportunity for them to meet alone. Things had come to this, and Qin Zhan had seen through it: since he couldn't be a good person, he would be a bad person to the end, uniting the evil factions and confronting the righteous sects of the martial arts world until the very end.
He would start by targeting the Star Constellation Sea; once Ding Laoguai was captured, everything else would be easy. The leader of the bodyguard group volunteered to go to the Star Constellation Sea to investigate the situation for Qin Zhan. In Qingfeng Town, Li Qingxue had already escaped here. The unusual crowd in front of a teahouse piqued Li Qingxue's curiosity.
Observing the strange behavior of the customers entering and exiting the teahouse, Li Qingxue concluded that there must be something wrong with this teahouse. Spending a large sum, Li Qingxue was ushered directly into the teahouse by the owner without waiting in line. She took out a silver needle to test, but there were no signs of poison in the tea.
Quietly following into the back courtyard of the teahouse, Li Qingxue discovered that the owner was actually burying customers who had fainted from drinking tea directly in the open space behind. Li Qingxue went to report to the authorities, but unexpectedly, the government had already colluded with the teahouse owner. Li Qingxue was tricked into drinking poisoned tea, losing her voice and unable to speak.
The county magistrate conveniently shifted all the murder charges onto Li Qingxue and ordered her execution at noon, intending to silence her. Qin Zhan's first stop in his search for Ding Laoguai was Qingfeng Town. By a stroke of luck, Qin Zhan encountered Li Qingxue, who was about to be executed, in this place. Noon arrived. Unlocked from her shackles, kneeling on the execution platform, Li Qingxue closed her eyes tightly.
Although unwilling in her heart, her inner fear could only make her await the arrival of death. As the blade was raised and about to fall, Qin Zhan arrived just in time, firmly grasping the great saber that was about to descend. Meow San threw a punch, knocking off the executioner's head. Holding Li Qingxue in his arms, Qin Zhan's emotions could not calm down for a long time.
Killing corrupt officials, rectifying Qingfeng Town, and destroying all of Ding Laoguai's strongholds, Qin Zhan claimed Qingfeng Town for himself. Now, Li Qingxue finally understood Qin Zhan's feelings for her; she was even more willing to stay by Qin Zhan's side, not only to learn things but also because staying by Qin Zhan's side was extremely safe. Yu Chen, Zhao Xu, and their group rested in a tavern, but unintentionally overheard two drunkards making lewd remarks about Yu Chen.
Zhao Xu, angered by what he heard, wanted to stand up for Yu Chen but was stopped by her, who advised him not to stir up trouble. The son of the local seventh-rank county magistrate, having heard of Yu Chen's renown, brought men and took over the entire tavern, ordering everyone else out and allowing only Miss Yu Chen to remain.
Looking down on people with dog's eyes, this dissolute young master actually dared to be disrespectful to the current Crown Prince and was severely beaten by the four masters accompanying Zhao Xu. With a token in hand, Zhao Xu revealed his identity, and even the dissolute young master's father had to kneel to apologize to Zhao Xu. To atone for the offense, the seventh-rank county magistrate graciously invited Zhao Xu to stay at his residence.
Unexpectedly, this old man, who acted one way to their face and another behind their back, secretly colluded with the Star Constellation Sect, intending to eliminate Zhao Xu. Walls have ears; Yu Chen overheard their conversation outside the window and immediately returned to the room to tell Zhao Xu about it. Yu Chen stayed behind to cover their retreat, while the four masters escorted Zhao Xu to leave overnight. Time was urgent.
Physician Xue complained for a long time after tripping on the road, and due to the delay, Ding Laoguai had already caught up with Zhao Xu and his group. The leader of the bodyguard group, Han Yi, after a rough journey, finally arrived at the Star Constellation Sea, but it was too late; the Star Constellation Sea no longer existed, and Ding Laoguai was not there either. Qin Zhan carefully instructed her to return quickly.
