A Journey to Love Episode 4 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Ning Yuanzhou inquired why Ruyi had returned, exposing her martial arts skills in the process. Ruyi explained that she killed Lou Qingqiang to avenge Ling Long, and Ning Yuanzhou killing Zhao Ji was considered helping himself. As she disliked owing favors, she returned to save Yuanluo. Ning Yuanzhou escorted Ruyi out of the city gates, but she had no intention of leaving alone. She mentioned her awareness of many things happening in An Kingdom's capital. In return, she wanted to join the envoy to discover Mr. Yue's true identity. Ning Yuanzhou shared the information he had about Mr. Yue, speculating that he held a significant position, at least a Purple Cloak Envoy, within the Zhuyi Guard. Ruyi initially intended to ask Ning Yuanzhou for help with a matter but was refused. Considering that the envoy did not lack an assassin like Ruyi, the two went their separate ways.
Six Dao Tang's Tian Dao Cavalry, Jiang Qiong, returned to the organization, and Ning Yuanzhou assigned him and Old Du to guard the main hall, ready to support the envoy at any time. Later, Ning Yuanzhou, along with Yu Shisan and others, left Wu Kingdom for An Kingdom. Emperor An, after capturing three cities, returned to the capital with the victorious army. The second prince, Lord Luoxi, and the eldest prince, Lord Hedong, came to welcome the emperor at Gudeyuan. Li Tongguang, having captured the emperor of Wu Kingdom, had made significant contributions. While the initial noble concubine believed this merited a title, Lord Hedong opposed it, citing Li Tongguang's humble background as a Wu Kingdom native. Emperor An did not express a strong opinion on the matter.
Li Tongguang was in a bad mood due to the ridicule about his background. Late at night, the initial noble concubine came to comfort him. Emperor An initially married the initial noble concubine to consolidate the power of the western region, while she admired Li Tongguang. Li Tongguang presented the phoenix hairpin, obtained from capturing the emperor of Wu, to the initial noble concubine, hoping she would ascend the phoenix throne soon. Li Tongguang agreed to cooperate with the initial noble concubine because he wanted to avoid further conflicts. He only wished for a peaceful and stable situation.
Ning Yuanzhou's group caught up with Yang Ying and others. Fearing assassination, Yang Ying was assigned Sun Lang to ensure her safety, and he would act as a bodyguard, cooperating with the envoy's mission. Ning Yuanzhou introduced Yang Ying to the brothers of Six Dao Tang. Du Changshi and Ming Court Lady, accompanying Yang Ying on the mission, were strict in their requirements, causing Yang Ying considerable distress. Yang Ying knew little about An Kingdom, and Du Changshi and Ming Court Lady had no good plans for the An Kingdom mission.
Ning Yuanzhou guessed that Danyang Lord did not want Yang Ying to return safely to her country, so he sent Du Changshi, who was not familiar with intrigue, to accompany her. Unable to change the female official, Ning Yuanzhou thought of Ruyi and sent a message to headquarters to investigate Mr. Yue's whereabouts. At the same time, Mr. Yue, with his lover, arrived at the Zhuyi Guard's Kaiyang branch to search for Ruyi. At that moment, someone impersonating Ruyi appeared at the Kaiyang branch. Mr. Yue realized this only after capturing her. The personnel at the Zhuyi Guard's branch confirmed that Left Envoy Ren Xin had undoubtedly identified their identities, and he was subsequently assassinated.
Mr. Yue feared Ren Xin, hurriedly left the Kaiyang branch with his wealth, and aimed to return safely to An Kingdom. Ren Xin, once a small member of the Zhuyi Guard, became the most successful assassin in the history of the Zhuyi Guard. Five years ago, she attempted to assassinate the then Queen Shajibu, surrounded and self-immolated in the palace after being besieged. However, Mr. Yue never expected Ren Xin to be alive.
Ruyi orchestrated a plan to lure out Mr. Yue, quickly subdued him with a few moves, and, seeing danger, Yuanluo fled on horseback. Mr. Yue revealed herself as Purple Cloak Envoy Yue Sanniang. She claimed she betrayed the Wu Kingdom branch on orders from headquarters, leading to the deaths of forty-seven members. Due to internal corruption, she collaborated with Six Dao Tang to make money to compensate for the losses. Yue Sanniang noticed Ruyi's lack of recovered internal strength and attacked her. In the crisis, Ning Yuanzhou, along with Yuanluo, arrived to help. Ruyi successfully killed Yue Sanniang, and Ning Yuanzhou promised to cooperate with her. Ruyi agreed to help educate the prince about An Kingdom, and Ning Yuanzhou would assist in uncovering the mastermind behind her benefactor's death. The two entered into a partnership, and Ruyi revealed her true name as Ren Xin, surprising Ning Yuanzhou and Yuanluo.
Emperor An, for his military achievements, appointed Li Tongguang as a first-class marquis and General of the Imperial Forest. However, Li Tongguang overheard Emperor An promoting him to keep the two princes in check and to keep him confined to the capital by commanding the Imperial Forest. Aware that Emperor An intentionally let him hear this conversation, Li Tongguang publicly expressed his anger. Although the initial noble concubine admired Li Tongguang, he had always avoided getting close to her. When the two met privately and were seen by a maidservant, Li Tongguang intended to kill her. Surprisingly, the maidservant was a former Zhuyi Guard named Luli who recognized Li Tongguang.
