A Journey to Love Episode 22 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
The envoy arrived at Jizhou in Anguo. Ruyi recalled her childhood when her father sold her to Zhuyi Guard for money. Feeling melancholic, she took a solitary walk by the river. Seeing Ruyi, Li Tongguang took the initiative to collect green jujubes from Jizhou for her to taste. Li Tongguang informed Ruyi that green jujubes were her master's favorite food. Ruyi believed that if Li Tongguang's master knew of his filial piety, he would be very pleased. This made Li Tongguang very happy.
Li Tongguang apologized to Ruyi for his previous misguided actions. He was also troubled by the proposed cooperation with Ning Yuanzhou. Ruyi assured him that she wouldn't interfere with any decision he made. She emphasized that Ning Yuanzhou was a grateful person and provided insightful political analyses, urging Li Tongguang to seriously consider the collaboration.
Li Tongguang gave all the picked green jujubes to Ruyi, but she noticed Yang Ying's liking and passed them to Yang Ying. This annoyed Li Tongguang, who deliberately knocked the jujubes out of Yang Ying's hands. Ultimately, Li Tongguang agreed to cooperate with Ning Yuanzhou, pledging to assist him in bringing back the Emperor Wu. However, Li Tongguang was unwilling to distance himself from Princess Huyang. He specifically told Ning Yuanzhou the location where the bones of those who accompanied Emperor Wu and died in battle were buried.
Ning Yuanzhou, accompanied by Qian Zhao and others, rushed to the burial site to unearth the bones of those who died in battle, intending to cremate them and bring their souls back to their homeland someday. Yang Ying, representing the royal family, knelt to pay respects to these deceased heroes of the Heavenly Dao. Although everyone felt the pain of their brothers' sacrifices, they knew that only by fully cooperating with Li Tongguang could they truly end the war and bring lasting peace to the people.
Zhuyi Guard's headquarters was unaware that Ruyi was actually Ren Xin. They only knew her as the murderer of the Zhujin Case and continuously disseminated messages about assassinating the traitor Ruyi. Ning Yuanzhou thanked Ruyi for accompanying him to mourn their brothers. However, Ruyi was envious of Liu Daotang, who arranged annual memorials for their deceased brothers. In contrast, the fallen guards of Zhuyi had no graves, memorial tablets, or offerings. Ruyi explained that when Zhuyi Guards were alive, they had no names, only code numbers. Once they died, their names were erased from the records. It was only now that she realized these people were also worthy of commemoration.
Ning Yuanzhou mentioned that he had previously infiltrated Andu, and if Ruyi needed help investigating the cause of Empress Zhaojie's death, she could ask for his assistance. When Ruyi inquired about Ning Yuanzhou's livelihood during his infiltration, he deliberately evaded the question. Yang Ying specifically asked Liu Daotang's people about this matter, but everyone remained silent.
Li Tongguang, along with the envoy, had just entered Andu. The trusted aide of the Second Prince deliberately wanted to embarrass the envoy, but Liu Daotang's people easily defused the situation. Li Tongguang escorted the envoy to the Siyi Pavilion, where they awaited an audience with the Emperor. In the middle of the night, the Emperor summoned the Prince of Li. Although aware of the Prince's insolence, Yang Ying had to enter the palace immediately to meet the Emperor. Due to the lack of attendants, Yang Ying could only enter the palace alone, calmly facing the Emperor's difficulties.
Li Tongguang reported to the Emperor about the infiltration of Beipan into Anguo. However, the Emperor was not concerned about their intentions and stated that he had not sent idle troops to Tianmeng Pass. The Emperor, intending to enjoy his late dinner first, planned to meet Li Tongguang afterward. Yang Ying waited the whole day but did not receive an audience with the Emperor. She eventually decided to leave the palace. Han Dongming, who initially wanted to intervene, was questioned by Yang Ying about the Emperor's deliberate troubles. Han Dongming had no choice but to let Yang Ying leave. Yang Ying informed Han Dongming that matters should not exceed three days. She hoped the Emperor would provide an explanation for the envoy's purpose within three days; otherwise, she would return home. Yang Ying also threatened that if she were detained, the Liu Daotang warriors stationed in Anguo would rescue her at all costs.
