A Journey to Love Episode 27 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Ning Yuanzhou brought Li Tongguang to the branch of Liu Dao Tang near the water for a quiet discussion. He emphasized that if it weren't for Ren Ruyi's sake, he would never let Li Tongguang leave Liu Dao Tang alive today. Li Tongguang couldn't comprehend why his master treated him this way. Ning Yuanzhou reminded him of the severe injuries he caused to Yang Ying and the brothers of Liu Dao Tang, as well as the ruthless methods of those demonic individuals who couldn't be tolerated. Ning Yuanzhou warned Li Tongguang not to disrupt Ruyi's life and not to harm Yang Ying and Liu Dao Tang, or else he would not spare Li Tongguang. Concerned about potential conflicts between Ning Yuanzhou and Li Tongguang, Ruyi initially wanted to intervene but, persuaded by Yu Shisan, decided to let Ning Yuanzhou handle the matter.
Ning Yuanzhou expressed that Ruyi needed someone to respect and cherish her, someone emotionally stable, a partner who could stand by her side. If Li Tongguang continued to act madly, the young lady would keep her distance. While admitting that he was using Li Tongguang for his own purposes, Ning Yuanzhou also claimed he could help others gain the rights they desired, including rescuing the national lord. Li Tongguang agreed to abide by the agreement and asked the Duke of Changqing to advise the Emperor to release the Emperor Wu.
Li Tongguang argued that the Emperor wouldn't easily release the Emperor Wu. Ning Yuanzhou revealed they had other plans and mentioned their own arrangements for the tower assault, hoping Li Tongguang would assist from the periphery. As the Crown Prince was the mastermind behind the death of Empress Zhaojie, Ning Yuanzhou knew Ruyi would seek revenge. He proposed a plan involving the Second Prince confronting the Crown Prince, ensuring Ruyi and their group could escape unharmed. Li Tongguang worried about the safety of the Second Prince, being the only bloodline of Empress Zhaojie, but Ruyi assured him it was acceptable, as the Second Prince also had the blood of Empress Zhaojie and should face consequences. Ruyi mentioned that even the Emperor was involved in Empress Zhaojie's death, but killing him would lead to chaos, so she planned to make him suffer more than death.
Li Tongguang received news that Ruyi was willing to meet him in the future. Delighted to see that his master cared about the injury on his neck, he felt joyous. After everyone left, Ning Yuanzhou showed Ruyi an old item hidden in the Liu Dao Tang branch, a wooden imitation of gold that he made years ago. He had buried it to be remembered when Liu Dao Tang faced an attack from the Zhuyi Guard. Feeling he no longer needed others to remember him, Ning Yuanzhou discarded the wooden gold.
Ning Yuanzhou talked about how Li Tongguang could calm down from madness with just a smile from Ruyi, expressing his envy for the youth's ability to love and hate fearlessly. Ruyi believed everyone had two sides, and Empress Zhaojie was not as perfect as she imagined. She decided not to treat Empress Zhaojie's last words as a standard, wanting to live happily and meaningfully in this world.
Li Tongguang, in a good mood because of Ruyi, bought medicine for her and even purchased jewelry for Chu Yue. However, a misunderstanding at a jewelry store led to a confrontation. Li Tongguang intervened and resolved the situation, gifting Chu Yue a bouquet of roses. Grateful for his help, Chu Yue thanked him, and Li Tongguang expressed the need for Sand West and the Duke of Changqing's residence to be on good terms.
The Crown Prince's father-in-law, Duke Wang of the State, was invited to the feast at the home of the General of Zhenwu. Ruyi poisoned Duke Wang during a dance performance, causing his death the next day. The Crown Prince informed the Emperor that the Second Prince had poisoned Duke Wang. Subsequently, a dragon robe was found in the Second Prince's residence. As a result, the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to recuperate in Sand Central and assigned the Second Prince to oversee the construction of the Tianmen Pass.
Ruyi intercepted the Crown Prince on his way to Sand Central, wounded the heir of Duke Wang, and purposely misled him into thinking she was an assassin sent by the Second Prince. She then took the Crown Prince to the tomb of Empress Zhaojie and killed him as revenge for the Empress. When the heir of Duke Wang woke up, he found a token from Sand East and assumed it was the Sand East that killed the Crown Prince. Furious, the Emperor ordered Deng Hui to investigate. Blaming Wuguo for the incident, the Emperor demanded Yang Ying to prepare 30,000 taels of gold; otherwise, he would not let the Emperor Wu leave.
