Episode 12: Huo Qingyun rescues people and is surrounded by Yunpei troops
General Wu deliberately transferred the troops from the library to lure Huo Qingyun into the trap. When he came to the library before the battle, he found that someone had been there.
Huo Qingyun pushed Ruo Lao back to the secret room and distracted General Wu, but he didn’t expect to be injured in the arm by General Wu.
General Wu ordered to surround the library. Fortunately, Ruo Wen threw a hidden weapon in the dark to stop the troops. Huo Qingyun took the opportunity to escape but was shot in the back.
General Wu didn’t expect the bandits to run away, and followed the blood trail to Yunfang Pavilion. Huang Beishuang saw someone lying on the ground, and found that it was the injured Huo Qingyun, and helped him back to the room. Lian Huan pulled out the arrow from his back and found that it was poisoned.
Na Zhan suddenly rushed in, but fortunately Huang Beishuang had hidden Huo Qingyun, and cut his palm when Na Zhan was not paying attention. Na Zhan saw the bloodstains on the closet and took his anger out on Huang Beishuang, but reluctantly gave up when he saw her injured palm.
After Na Zhan left, Huang Beishuang asked Lian Huan to lock the door. She quickly bandaged Huo Qingyun’s wound, and Huo Qingyun endured the pain.
Huo Qingyun saw Huang Beishuang’s cut palm, and endured his own pain to bandage her hand, asking her not to take risks for him again. Huang Beishuang said that she couldn’t just watch him die, and Huo Qingyun fainted from the pain.
Na Zhan was furious because Huo Qingyun ran away, but he had already realized that this person’s disappearance was related to Huang Beishuang, so he told General Wu not to be anxious and to transfer Rong Lao to another place overnight.
General Wu reported to him that he found someone in the library who helped Huo Qingyun escape.
Huang Beishuang checked Huo Qingyun’s pulse and found that he had no signs of poison attack, suspecting that he was immune to all poisons.
Huo Qingyun wanted to leave quickly after waking up, but was stopped by Huang Beishuang, who insisted that he heal his wounds and asked him to wear the soft armor she gave him. Nazhan waited for two days, but no bandits appeared, so he asked General Wu to remain vigilant.
Ruo Wen deliberately made the food too light, Zhen Qu You Jia tasted it and scolded him, shouting that he wanted to change the imperial chef. When the two were arguing, Na Zhan suddenly appeared, and Zhen Qu You Jia pretended that she had too much moisture.
Na Zhan found Ruo Wen suspicious and asked him to stretch out his hand to check, and found that he had a lot of calluses on his palm.
Ruo Wen explained that he had been cooking for many years, so naturally he had calluses. Na Zhan tasted the dishes on the table, and although he felt that the taste was strange, he still did not blame Zhen Qu You Jia.
Huo Qingyun was drinking Ba wine on the terrace, saying that this wine could cure all kinds of poisons in the world. He often drank this wine since he was a child in order to survive. Huang Beishuang was full of doubts. Huo Qingyun remembered that his father asked him to hide his identity so that he could survive.
Huang Beishuang thought that Huo Qingyun was a wanderer like herself, and learned that his parents were also dead. Huo Qingyun frankly said that he came here to save Ruo Lao, but fortunately he was saved by Ruo Wen. He wanted to sever his relationship with Huang Beishuang, but he could not resist her temptation.
Huang Beishuang forced herself to drink Ba wine and got drunk, and fell asleep on Huo Qingyun. Huo Qingyun struggled internally, and he secretly vowed to protect Huang Beishuang before the truth was revealed.
Ge Xinwei cleaned up the brothel and threatened the madam to sign the deed. She wanted to buy Zui Xiang Lou and turn it into a restaurant, taking in the girls there to make a living.
Ruo Wen was forced by Xiao Lian to make lotus seed soup. In anger, he found Zhen Qu You Jia and revealed his identity, asking her to cooperate with him in the mansion and dance to serve him.
Zhen Qu You Jia did not dare to resist, fearing that she would be abducted by Ruo Wen and become his wife, so she had to obey his orders and took the initiative to make lotus seed soup for Ruo Wen. Ruo Wen warned her that if others knew about this, it would be more than just a scratch on her face.
