A Journey to Love Episode 20 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Jin Meiniang disguised herself and came to the inn. She informed herself about Luli's whereabouts and intentionally coincided with her. Luli tested whether Ren Xin was still alive among mortals. Through their mutual probing, Jin Meiniang also learned that Luli was now following Li Tongguang. Her visit to He County was also to investigate Ruyi's identity. Seizing the opportunity, Jin Meiniang told Luli that Li Tongguang's kindness to her was partly due to his feelings for Ren Xin. If Ren Xin were found, Luli might have to step back.
Ruyi knew that Luli had taken in Jin Meiniang's provocative words, so her surprise upon seeing Ruyi was not as genuine. Jin Meiniang also revealed to Ruyi some hidden facts. In reality, Li Tongguang's feelings for Ren Xin were not just those of a master and disciple. When Li Tongguang initially believed Ren Xin had died in the Tianlao fire, he went mad, digging up Ren Xin's bones in the ruins every night. Later, Jin Meiniang ordered someone to hide the bones in the ruins, and Li Tongguang stopped only after finding them. Li Tongguang buried the bones in a valley and personally paid respects every fifteenth of the month. He also painted portraits of Ren Xin all over the room, mourning his loss.
Ruyi denied any romantic feelings from Li Tongguang, attributing his rejection of marriage proposals to his background. Ruyi expressed her desire to do meaningful things, similar to Meiniang, once her current affairs were settled. She believed that women often became victims due to cruel parents or restrictive teachings, making them susceptible to deception. Ruyi wanted to gather those abandoned by Zhuyi Guard, teaching them ways to make a living.
Li Tongguang specifically visited the inn to find Prince Li and others, agreeing to the previous cooperation. He promised to ensure the success of Prince Li and others within a month, but his condition was that he wanted Princess Huyang. Ruyi challenged Li Tongguang, asking if he wanted her to become his concubine for the sake of Ren Xin, or if he wanted her to be a puppet wearing Zhuyi Guard's uniform. Ruyi exposed Li Tongguang's desire to use her as a substitute for Ren Xin and reprimanded him on the spot. Ruyi believed that Li Tongguang's thoughtless approach was foolish, forgetting the purpose he had striven for so hard. She pointed out that if Ren Xin knew about his disciple's inappropriate feelings, it would be disgusting. Despite Li Tongguang denying his intentions, he fled when confronted by Ruyi.
Ning Yuanzhou, aware that Ruyi revealed her scars for their sake, felt distressed and understood her pain as her disciple turned into such a state. On the return journey, Li Tongguang encountered an assassination attempt by Zhuyi Guard. Seeing the attackers were numerous, he signaled for help. Ruyi and the others saw Li Tongguang's distress signal, and fearing it could impact the peace talks between the two countries, Ning Yuanzhou led a rescue mission.
To prevent Ruyi's identity from being exposed, Ning Yuanzhou had her hide in the shadows. Accompanied by Yu Shisan, Qian Zhao, and others, Ning Yuanzhou went to the rescue. However, the assassins wore soft armor, and Ning Yuanzhou's poisoning recurred. Ruyi had to reveal herself to assist. Li Tongguang initially wanted to capture the leader of the attackers but was surrounded and almost killed. Thankfully, Ning Yuanzhou intervened in time to save him. Yuanluo and others arrived to support. With the cover of thunderfire bombs, Ruyi successfully killed the leader of the attackers, prompting them to abandon the assassination.
Ning Yuanzhou fell into a coma due to poisoning, and Ruyi took him to Qian Zhao for treatment. However, Qian Zhao was helpless against the poison. Ruyi informed everyone that Ning Yuanzhou was poisoned with a ten-day Qiannian Machine poison. Initially, Zhang Song used this poison to control Ning Yuanzhou, forcing him to take it, but due to delays caused by Zheng Qingyun and Li Tongguang's affairs, he couldn't get the antidote in time.
Qian Zhao believed that without the antidote, Ning Yuanzhou could only last another half hour. Realizing that she had Zhuyi Guard's Universal Detoxification in her body, Ruyi decided to use her blood to save Ning Yuanzhou. After consuming Ruyi's blood, Ning Yuanzhou woke up, instructing Qian Zhao to send a message to Junzhou in Anguo, informing Zhang Song's people of the situation. Ning Yuanzhou apologized to Ruyi, giving her a piece of candy and hoping it would bring her comfort when she felt unhappy. Seeing Ning Yuanzhou on the brink of danger, Li Tongguang didn't want Ruyi to resent him and used the More Beginnings Pill from Shaxi to treat Ning Yuanzhou.
After taking the More Beginnings Pill, Ning Yuanzhou's pulse stabilized. Qian Zhao and the others took him back to the inn, where Ruyi, Yuanluo, Yang Ying, and others stayed up all night guarding him. Finally, as dawn approached, Ning Yuanzhou woke up, and Ruyi, seeing that he was safe, finally felt relieved.
