A Journey to Love Episode 3 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Yang Ying not only hopes to welcome back her imperial brother but also desires to use this opportunity to obtain a fief of three thousand, thereby gaining eligibility to choose her own husband. She volunteers to be the envoy to greet the emperor. The empress immediately appears in court and confers the title of "Grand Wulv Li Prince" on Yang Ying. In order to bring back the emperor at the lowest cost, Danyang Lord and the courtiers agree to the empress's decision.
Privately, Zheng Qingyun questions Yang Ying about her choice. It turns out that Yang Ying not only wants to bring back her elder brother but also hopes to use this achievement to absolve Ning Yuanzhou of his guilt and be with Zheng Qingyun. Although she is afraid, she does not want to be an insignificant princess in the deep palace.
While Ning Yuanzhou agrees to let Ren Ruyi stay in the Ning residence, he assigns her to take care of miscellaneous tasks and even do household chores. Ren Ruyi is naturally unwilling to be used as a servant and seizes the opportunity to make things difficult for herself in terms of meals. The palace maid Pei, upon hearing news of Ning Yuanzhou being alive, specially visits the Ning residence. It turns out that when the old master was alive, he had arranged for a marriage between Pei and Ning Yuanzhou. However, due to Ning Yuanzhou's exile and imprisonment, Pei married someone else. Seeing Pei's arrival, Ren Ruyi deliberately behaves intimately with Ning Yuanzhou, causing Pei to leave disappointed.
Ren Ruyi deliberately exposes herself to let Pei discover, hoping that Ning Yuanzhou will take her out of the city. Ning Yuanzhou agrees instantly. Lou Qingqiang learns from Mr. Yue that the escaped Ren Ruyi is a high-ranking Zhuyi Guard. Mr. Yue, not wanting headquarters to know about his betrayal, uses Six Dao Tang members to ambush and assassinate Ren Ruyi. While buying medicine, Yuanluo accidentally hears this information and tells Ning Yuanzhou, also realizing that Ren Ruyi's identity is not simple.
The next day, Ning Yuanzhou, accompanied by Yuanluo and Ren Ruyi, leaves the city. He informs Ren Ruyi about the ambush planned by Zhao Ji's subordinates to kill people from the branches in Luzhou and Tianji. However, Ren Ruyi pretends not to understand and claims she wants to go to her hometown in Shengzhou. After bidding farewell to Ren Ruyi when leaving with Yuanluo, Lou Qingqiang and his men attempt an assassination. Yuanluo gets injured in the middle, and Ren Ruyi, upon hearing the assassination, reveals herself to save Yuanluo and helps deal with the assassins.
However, the three are ultimately unable to escape the pursuit. Prime Minister Zhang Song appears and invites Ning Yuanzhou for a discussion. Ren Ruyi seizes the opportunity when Lou Qingqiang is off guard and kills him to avenge Ling Long. Zhang Song appreciates Ning Yuanzhou's strategic wisdom and reveals that of the thousand people in Six Dao Tang, only Ning Yuanzhou knows the true purpose of the guest spies for the court, which is not assassination or theft but organizing useful intelligence for the country. After Ning Yuanzhou leaves, Zhao Ji idles the Hell Dao, ruins the Senluo Hall, and hence, nine out of ten pieces of intelligence obtained before the emperor's expedition were fake. Zhang Song believes that one of the reasons for the emperor's capture lies within Six Dao Tang and recognizes Ning Yuanzhou's abilities. However, Ning Yuanzhou still refuses to accept the mission. Zhang Song discloses that Yang Ying volunteered as the imperial son to go on a diplomatic mission. He does not care whether Ning Yuanzhou can bring back the emperor; he only hopes that Ning Yuanzhou can obtain a decree written by the emperor for the child in the empress's womb. Afterwards, he will supervise the country based on that decree.
