A Journey to Love Episode 37 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Ruyi kidnapped the Second Prince, and Ning Yuanzhou also arrived at the grand ceremony, kidnapping Emperor An. He immediately ordered Emperor An to dispatch troops to support Hexian and resist the Northern Pangu. Under Ruyi's interrogation, the Second Prince confessed that Emperor An allowed him to let the people of Northern Pangu enter the borders and revealed the details of Emperor An's dealings with them. Ruyi presented a private letter from Emperor An to the Second Prince, and the personal seal on the letter confirmed Emperor An's identity. With overwhelming evidence, Emperor An couldn't escape the charges. Thinking Ruyi wouldn't dare to kill him, he was shocked when she directly injured the Second Prince in front of the officials. Deng Hui, confirming the Second Prince's collusion with Northern Pangu, decisively ended the Second Prince's life.
Ning Yuanzhou told Emperor An that if he wanted to survive, he must write a self-condemnation decree, swearing in the name of his ancestors, and immediately send troops to expel Northern Pangu.
Emperor An initially agreed to write the decree but was unexpectedly ambushed by Li Tongguang at the ceremony, who used a hidden weapon to incapacitate Ruyi and ordered his men to capture the unstable Ning Yuanzhou. In the chaos, Emperor An fled but was stabbed in the chest by Zhu Yin, one of Li Tongguang's subordinates. Li Tongguang had to improvise, explaining that he arrived late and promised to assist the Third Prince according to Emperor An's wishes. With Emperor An dead, Deng Hui stepped forward to confirm Emperor An's testament, allowing Li Tongguang to stabilize the political situation.
Li Tongguang questioned Zhu Yin, but Zhu Yin claimed that Ning Yuanzhou didn't want to kill Emperor An and offered to help. He believed that, given Li Tongguang's current situation, it was better to take a risk than be besieged. Zhu Yin's actions forced Li Tongguang onto an irreversible path, compelling him to assist the Third Prince in ascending the throne. In the Sand Region, many people opposed Li Tongguang, but Deng Hui quickly dealt with them. Li Tongguang honored his promise to elevate Princess Chu to the position of Empress Dowager, grant the title of King of Sha to the Chu family, and reward Chu Yue with three hundred households.
Li Tongguang decided to expedition to Hexian, aware of the extreme danger. To fulfill his desires, he forcefully held a wedding ceremony with Ruyi in his residence. Although Ruyi had taken the softening medicine, she coerced Li Tongguang into releasing Ning Yuanzhou. At this moment, Ning Yuanzhou burst in, and after Ning Yuanzhou administered the antidote to Ruyi, he confronted and reprimanded Li Tongguang. Ning Yuanzhou pointed out that Li Tongguang was a coward who only used despicable means to force Ruyi. Despite this, Li Tongguang showed no remorse for his actions. Ning Yuanzhou advised Li Tongguang to let go of his obsession if he wanted to become a true man. If he aimed to become a king, he should value the lives of the people more than power.
Ruyi expressed a desire to marry Ning Yuanzhou immediately, and he gladly agreed. They left together and, in the outskirts, married each other with the heavens and earth as witnesses, officially becoming a couple. Li Tongguang ordered Zhu Yin to gather the Forbidden Army and expedite to Hexian. Even if some parts of the Sand Region were unwilling to join, Li Tongguang insisted on supporting Hexian, unafraid of facing a lonely death.
Yang Ying brought a letter from Dawu to find Li Tongguang. Under the threat of Northern Pangu's invasion, Dawu was willing to bury the hatchet and join forces to resist the enemy. Li Tongguang agreed to discuss with court officials before replying to the letter. He also asked Yang Ying to convey a response to the Dawu Emperor, suggesting that he govern Hexian wisely.
Yang Ying volunteered to marry Li Tongguang, believing that with this letter and the support of her two older brothers, there would be no more doubts about Li Tongguang's leadership in Da'an. Although she didn't like Li Tongguang, she promised to be a good wife and help him protect Da'an. Li Tongguang, realizing that marrying Yang Ying was his best choice, agreed. They got married on the seventeenth day, and on the eighteenth day, Li Tongguang assembled a thirty-thousand-strong army for a personal expedition. When Northern Pangu's Left Wise King invaded Hexian again, Ning Yuanzhou, disguised as the Dawu Emperor, collaborated with Yu Shisan to capture him, achieving a significant victory over the Northern Pangu army.
The Duke of Chu commended Yu Shisan for the clever idea of impersonating a Northern Pangu person and asked for Yu Shisan's name. Yu Shisan, not wanting to be involved with Chu Yue again, provided a false name. After the battle, Ruyi learned from Ning Yuanzhou that Qian Zhao, Sun Lang, and Yuan Lu had sacrificed themselves, causing her great sorrow. Only Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan remained from the Six Paths Hall brothers. Yu Shisan entrusted the safety token of their fallen brothers to Ning Yuanzhou, and the two mourned the loss of their comrades.
