A Journey to Love Episode 19 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Du Changshi believes that Ruyi is just a go-between and that Marquis Changqing is clearly interested in her. If she flatters and deceives Marquis Changqing, it might help release Lord Wu. Ning Yuanzhou is furious about this and warns Du Changshi that women are not commodities to be casually sold or exchanged. Moreover, Ruyi's martial arts and strategies far surpass his own, and he respects and loves her. He cannot give her to someone else. Du Changshi's words are a great insult to both Ruyi and himself. He can sacrifice himself for Wu Kingdom, but Ruyi has already given enough for the diplomatic mission. Ning Yuanzhou warns Du Changshi not to mention this matter again in the future, or he won't care about the feelings of colleagues.
Ruyi and Yang Ying overhear the conversation between Ning Yuanzhou and Du Changshi. Yang Ying is puzzled about why Du Changshi thinks this way, while Ruyi knows that Du Changshi has always been influenced by the idea that women should depend on men to live. She appreciates Ning Yuanzhou's defense but needs to carefully consider the matter between them.
Yu Shisan comes to console Ning Yuanzhou, stating that the most important thing for two people is to let go of any discomfort and mistrust in their hearts. He advises Ning Yuanzhou not to be too stubborn. Yu Shisan also warns Ning Yuanzhou that if he doesn't cherish Ruyi, he shouldn't blame him, a brother, for pursuing her.
Yang Ying decides to meet Marquis Changqing in person and investigate the situation in Anguo. She warns Du Changshi that she is the envoy Anguo wants to meet, and any matters regarding the diplomatic mission must be discussed with her. Du Changshi apologizes to Ruyi, and they plan to accompany Yang Ying to meet Marquis Changqing. Upon learning that Prince Li is visiting, Marquis Changqing instructs Fang Dongming to handle the reception, deciding to meet him after a while.
Fang Dongming welcomes Yang Ying, but she, as the envoy of Daguo, needs Marquis Changqing to come out to greet her. Fang Dongming refuses, citing Marquis Changqing's absence due to socializing. In response, Yang Ying sarcastically remarks about Marquis Changqing being a charming young general and decides to return to the inn and visit another day. Ruyi praises Yang Ying for her quick response.
Li Tongguang unexpectedly sees an intimate scene between Ruyi and Prince Li and feels jealous. His subordinates provide investigation materials about Princess Huyang, revealing her connection with Prince Li. Li Tongguang resents Prince Li and believes that a master can only be good to oneself.
Li Tongguang sends his subordinates to deliver an apology and arranges a banquet to make amends for the day's events, inviting Prince Li, Princess Huyang, and others. Ning Yuanzhou receives the invitation and shows it to Ruyi. Concerned about Ning Yuanzhou's well-being, Ruyi senses that he is not feeling well. Ning Yuanzhou expresses his desire to live a quiet life away from court politics, free from the struggle for power. Ruyi understands his perspective and knows that he likes her because of their shared experiences, where they found solace in each other. Ruyi questions whether Ning Yuanzhou is truly willing to leave his friends behind and live in seclusion on a small island. He confesses that he can't remain indifferent if something happens to his friends, such as Yuanluo, Yu Shisan, and Yang Ying.
The next day, Ruyi and Yang Ying, accompanied by others, go to the training ground for the scheduled meeting. Li Tongguang and Yang Ying engage in verbal sparring, with Li Tongguang even parading the captives from Liu Dao Tang and forcing them to serve wine to Prince Li and others. Ruyi, unable to tolerate this, cuts the national flag of Anguo to provide warmth for the Liu Dao Tang captives and proposes a toast to the heroes. Li Tongguang, unable to regain control, orders his subordinates to whip the captives. Yang Ying, witnessing Marquis Changqing's escalating behavior, questions Li Tongguang, mentioning that her master taught her differently. Li Tongguang pours wine on Yang Ying in anger, and she retaliates by splashing him back. Ruyi perceives the banquet as a Hongmen feast, realizing that cooperation cannot continue and decides to leave with Prince Li. Li Tongguang tries to stop them, and Ning Yuanzhou, unwilling to back down, defends everyone. Later, accompanied by Liu Dao Tang's captives, Ruyi and others leave.
Luli recognizes Ruyi when she leaves and doubts whether Ruyi is Ren Xin. However, Luli denies Ruyi's identity as Ren Xin, pointing out the absence of the scar on Ren Xin's neck. Li Tongguang cannot accept this result and sadistically wishes to have Luli teach Ruyi martial arts to make her look like her master.
