> A Journey to Love Recap
Li Tongguang's mind flashed with images of practicing martial arts with his master Ren Xin. Among them were subtle feelings of adolescent admiration, leading him to spare Luli's life. When pursued by the eldest prince, he pretended to take the laundry girl Luli as a personal maid, extending his favor. Later, the initial noble concubine questioned Li Tongguang about why he spared the girl and still approached her. She thought Li Tongguang despised her, but he explained that he despised his own humble lineage and felt unworthy of the initial noble concubine. Hearing Li Tongguang's words, the initial noble concubine felt sorry for his plight.
Ning Yuanzhou, with Ruyi, joined the small team. The flirtatious Yu Shisan tried to flatter Ruyi, but she ignored him. Due to long-standing grievances between Zhuyi Guard and Six Dao Tang, Ning Yuanzhou concealed Ruyi's true identity, only mentioning that she was a "troubled person" from Chu Kingdom. Ruyi discovered that everyone in Six Dao Tang obediently followed Ning Yuanzhou's words. Through Yuanluo, she learned of Ning Yuanzhou's excellence. Recalling Queen Shajibu's advice not to easily fall in love but to have her own child, Ruyi directed her thoughts towards Ning Yuanzhou.
Yu Shisan teased Ruyi, but she easily subdued him and Qian Zhao. Ning Yuanzhou introduced Ruyi to Yang Ying, starting her training to educate Yang Ying about An Kingdom affairs. Although Ming Court Lady was unwilling to comply with this arrangement, facing Ruyi's domineering manner, she had no choice but to be sent back to Wu Kingdom.
Ruyi noticed that Yang Ying feared Ming Court Lady more than herself. After examining Yang Ying's body, she found that Ming Court Lady had secretly punished her. Ruyi arranged for Yuanluo to use a bone-corroding needle to punish Ming Court Lady during the return journey. Ning Yuanzhou publicly declared that Ruyi was a female rider of Six Dao Tang, without revealing her previous identity as a White Sparrow in Zhuyi Guard.
As Ruyi taught Yang Ying about key An Kingdom political matters, she made strict demands. Ruyi observed Yang Ying's submissive nature and proposed a different lifestyle for her as a woman. Although Yang Ying initially trusted Empress Xiaoyan, Ruyi revealed the truth, stating that Queen Xiaoyan wanted to send Yang Ying to the underworld. Ruyi told Yang Ying the reality: Danyang Lord did not want Emperor An to return safely, and the empress had no intention of saving King An. Instead, she planned to delay for a few months until the prince was born and then rule as empress dowager.
Ruyi hoped Yang Ying would change her weak and indecisive nature, urging her to study hard and strengthen herself. Yang Ying, learning from Ning Yuanzhou, confirmed that Ruyi spoke the truth and felt the pain of being betrayed by her family. Yang Ying, using menstruation as an excuse, sent Ruyi away. Later, she tried to escape back to the capital, taking advantage of Ning Yuanzhou being affected by a softening agent. Ruyi revealed her feelings to Ning Yuanzhou, stating that Queen Shajibu was like a sister and mother to her, the best person in her heart. She went to the Yuelou that day to save Queen Shajibu. When the queen was dying, she urged Ruyi to leave the Zhuyi Guard, live happily and healthy, and have her own child. Later, Ruyi faked her death, escaped to Shengzhou, and recovered at a kind woman's home, who had just lost her daughter. Zhuyi Guard came to select a White Sparrow and took her away. She wanted to uncover the truth behind the queen's death and plotted against the Zhuyi Guard.
Ruyi decided to name her future child Ren Xiaochuan and chose Ning Yuanzhou as the child's father. Initially planning to seduce Ning Yuanzhou gradually, she unexpectedly seized the opportunity when Ning Yuanzhou revealed his interest. Despite Ning Yuanzhou's persuasion failing, he revealed that he was poisoned by Zhang Song. Seeing Ruyi determined to act, Ning Yuanzhou promised to act after taking the first antidote, and Ruyi gave him the Heart-Aligning Butterfly, agreeing to postpone their actions for a few days.
