Episode 16: Huang Beishuang is recognized by the Ma Sui envoy

Huo Qingyun tore off his face and rescued Rong Lao from under the noses of Na Zhan’s guards. Huang Beishuang used the knowledge of changing faces from the herbal medicine chapter, and also copied General Wu’s token.

He told Huo Qingyun that Na Zhan liked to play chess at night, and asked him to rescue Rong Lao within half an incense stick of time. The two agreed to use fireworks as a signal after the task was completed.

When Rong Lao saw Huo Qingyun alive, he felt sorry for him for all the injustices he had suffered over the years. He reminded Huo Qingyun that he was no match for Na Zhan now. Huo Qingyun took out a letter from the weak tribe of Yunpei Border Town to Tiandu, which pointed out Na Zhan’s tyranny.

He hoped that Rong Lao would come forward and help him find the real edict written by Na Qida, so as to give an explanation to the people of the desert. Rong Lao said that only his brother Ruo Bo knew, but Ruo Bo had been missing for fifteen years.

General Wu arrested the soldier and interrogated him. The soldier asked Na Zhan for forgiveness, saying that he did not know someone was impersonating General Wu. Na Zhan was furious and beat him to death.

He ordered General Wu to close the city gates and search for the thieves, and to kill all those who knew the secret. Master Zhu came hurriedly and said that Ma Sui sent a letter for help. Na Zhan immediately burned the envelope, saying that he had helped them before and told them to fend for themselves this time. He did not intend to send anyone to help.

Ruowen led the Huang Tiankuang Corps to attack outside the city of Ma Sui and captured it completely. He shouted slogans, saying that he wanted to build his own city-state and let his brothers follow him all the way south to capture Ma Sui.

Geer Jinqin learned that Ruowen had attacked outside the city and there was no rescue from Yunpei. He didn’t know what to do and asked the ministers for advice. Someone suggested sending people to Yunpei immediately to join forces with the red cavalry in that battle, but it was dangerous outside the city and they didn’t know who to send.

Zhan Bie volunteered to go to Yunpei. He was willing to go out of the city alone to ask Yunpei for help. Someone else suggested pretending to marry Ruowen and sending General Huayu’s two daughters to get rid of Ruowen.

Huo Qingyun arranged for Rong Lao and returned to Yunfang Pavilion. He teased Huang Beishuang for caring about him and asked her if she was willing to leave with him. Huang Beishuang shook her head. She knew that she still had things to do and decided to stay with Na Zhan.

Huo Qingyun was worried that she would be suspected by Na Zhan, so he persuaded her to leave with him and promised to find her an oasis. Huang Beishuang believed that saving Ernaqi was her mission, and she did not want to push Huo Qingyun to the opposite side of Yunpei.

Na Zhan knew from the portrait that the real Qu and the fake cook were Ruo Wen. He thought that the person who took Rong Lao away was still in the mansion, so he ordered General Wu to continue the investigation. Zhan Bie begged Na Zhan to send troops to help Ma Sui and deter Huang Tiankuang. Na Zhan politely refused, saying that he was not indifferent to the danger, but needed to make a long-term plan.

Zhan Bie was disheartened. When walking in the pavilion, he met Huang Beishuang and recognized her as the ninth princess of Ma Sui. Huang Beishuang was calm and said that she was Erna Qinaxiu. But Zhan Bie believed that he would not make a mistake and told her about Ma Sui’s condition. Their conversation was heard by Xiao Lian, who told Zhen Qu You Jia about it.

Zhenqu Youjia deliberately approaches Zhanbie and proposes that Zhenqu can send troops to help Ma Sui, but the prerequisite is that Zhanbie publicly points out that Huang Beishuang is the ninth princess at the Jiyou Festival.

Zhanbie is worried that Huang Beishuang will be punished for her king, and is also worried about the safety of the people of Ma Sui. The Ma Sui envoy presents Hua Jiao and Hua Ting to Ruo Wen.

Ge Xinwei is dissatisfied and asks the envoy to take the two back, but Ruo Wen says to keep the two. The two took advantage of Ruo Wen’s sleep to attack, but they didn’t expect that Ruo Wen had already prepared and captured the two.

Ge Xinwei accidentally mentioned her identity as the ninth princess and learned that General Huayu’s family was waiting for her to come back. Hua Ting said that the two deliberately turned against their father and pretended to join Geer Jinqin. Ge Xinwei thought this was a good opportunity and asked them to help Ruo Wen attack Ma Sui.

During the You Festival, Xiao Lian bribed Guo Er in advance and asked Guo Er to expose Huang Bei Shuang’s identity in the lobby. Huang Bei Shuang remained calm and asked Ye Pei and Lian Huan to confront him. Guo Er called out Zhan Bie again and said that he knew Ma Sui’s Ninth Princess.
