A Journey to Love Episode 2 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Ren Ruyi, due to a shoulder injury from poison, took the antidote "Wandu Jie" to detoxify. However, the downside of this antidote is the loss of internal strength within seven days after ingestion. Under the list of names for avenging, Ren Ruyi wrote down several names, including Zhao Ji, Mr. Yue, and Lou Qingqiang, who killed Ling Long.
Lou Qingqiang inspected the bodies at the Zhuyi Guard branch and unexpectedly discovered that someone had killed the Tiqi riders and swapped the bodies. He ordered a citywide search for Ren Ruyi, and at a critical moment, Ren Ruyi jumped into a courtyard and hid in a coffin. This courtyard turned out to be the old residence of the Ning family in Wudou. Zhao Ji and his men arrived at the Ning family's old residence, and the former Hungry Ghost Dao Captain Yuanluo tried to stop them. Yuanluo did not want Zhao Ji and others to disturb the heroic spirit of Ning Yuanzhou, but he couldn't resist Zhao Ji and was eventually captured.
Zhao Ji didn't believe that Ning Yuanzhou was already dead. He used the lives of Yuanluo and the Ning family's old residence to threaten Ning Yuanzhou to reveal himself. Seeing Yuanluo's life in danger, Ning Yuanzhou showed up and saved Yuanluo. Zhao Ji had information about sixteen people, including Tian Dao, below Chai Ming. He used this information to coerce Ning Yuanzhou into going to An Kingdom to rescue the emperor. Zhao Ji revealed that Chai Ming and others went with the emperor, and half of them died in battle, while the other half, including the emperor, were captured.
Knowing the fate of his brothers, Ning Yuanzhou, after personally killing Zhao Ji according to Six Dao Tang rules, lost interest in the court. He only wanted to leave the capital after burying his adoptive father. After sending away the Tiqi riders from Six Dao Tang, Ning Yuanzhou instructed Yuanluo to tightly guard the gates of the Ning residence. He forced Ren Ruyi, who was hiding in the coffin, to come out. Ren Ruyi pretended to be a dancer from the entertainment quarter, claiming that Zhao Ji falsely accused them of being spies, leading to the massacre of the dancers. She escaped risking her innocence. Although Ning Yuanzhou was skeptical of her story, he sensed that Ren Ruyi had no internal strength at the moment and had to temporarily let her go.
The Tiqi rider Jiaoqiong from Six Dao Tang was brought back to Wu Kingdom by Danyang Lord. Danyang Lord learned from him that the emperor was indeed alive, captured by Li Tongguang, the Marquis of Changqing in An Kingdom. Li Tongguang demanded a ransom of one hundred thousand taels of gold and requested the imperial son to come and welcome the emperor. Danyang Lord understood their intentions to capture him, so that An Kingdom could support the imperial son in succeeding to the throne.
Ning Yuanzhou confirmed that Ren Ruyi was indeed a member of Zhuyi Guard, known as the White Sparrow. To force Ren Ruyi to leave, he deliberately revealed suspicions about her White Sparrow identity. Ren Ruyi, pretending to be willing to leave even if she would die, made Ning Yuanzhou reluctantly give up. Yuanluo, being an official slave by birth, and his sister was also a dancer in the entertainment quarter before she died. Therefore, he felt sympathy for Ren Ruyi. Persuaded by Yuanluo, Ning Yuanzhou agreed to let Ren Ruyi stay.
Princess Yang Ying disguised herself as a eunuch to eavesdrop on the court meeting. Imperial Guard Zheng Qingyun exposed her identity. Zheng Qingyun did not look down on her because she was not favored. Yang Ying asked why Zheng Qingyun didn't want to marry her. Zheng Qingyun explained that a husband had to come from a prestigious family, while he was just a guard with no background. Lord Ying, Yang Xingyan, appeared in the court, expressing his willingness to serve as the envoy to greet the emperor. When the empress learned that Lord Ying volunteered for the mission, she was concerned because his leg was crippled to save her. She had promised to protect him, and naturally, she did not want him to go to Wu Kingdom. However, she also knew that Danyang Lord would not want to take on the mission. She decided to find someone from the royal family to be adopted under the late emperor's name, offering a fief of three thousand for the person's cooperation.
