A Journey to Love Episode 6 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Ren Ruyi brought back the fleeing Yang Ying and used a sleeping fragrance to make her rest peacefully. Ruyi originally planned to control Ning Yuanzhou with the Heart-Aligning Butterfly. However, Ning Yuanzhou unexpectedly changed his mind on the spot and resisted Ruyi. Yu Shisan saw Ruyi chasing Ning Yuanzhou to demand a child and came to help Ning Yuanzhou control Ruyi, who had temporarily lost her internal strength. Ning Yuanzhou also used his internal strength to force out the Heart-Aligning Butterfly in Ruyi's body, leaving her infuriated.
Realizing the poisoning incident, Ning Yuanzhou understood that the formation of the embassy and the merchant caravan was too hasty, and there might be some laxity among the members. He arranged for everyone to take turns patrolling every two hours and not to share meals. Yu Shisan, dressed up and presenting himself to Ruyi, was directly thrown out of the room by her.
In the evening, when everyone was asleep, Ning Yuanzhou suddenly noticed that Ruyi was missing. From the hoofprints, he deduced that Ruyi had gone in the direction of Yuzhou. Rushing to Yuzhou, Ning Yuanzhou left Qian Zhao temporarily in charge of embassy affairs. In the Yuzhou inn, Ruyi found the escaped Yulang. On the one hand, she wanted to verify the truth of what Yuesanniang had said through Yulang, and on the other hand, she sought revenge for Ling Long. Using the Dream Butterfly, Ning Yuanzhou found Ruyi and learned that she originally intended to kill Yulang. He also understood that Ruyi did not plan to break her promise.
Ning Yuanzhou persuaded Ruyi not to leave the embassy without authorization. Killing someone would attract the attention of the Zhuyi Guard, affecting everyone's rescue plan and the safety of the embassy. Ning Yuanzhou knew that Ruyi wanted to investigate the cause of Queen Shajibu's death and would not want to break their agreement. He also saw that although Ruyi was tough in words, she had a soft heart and wouldn't use the lives of embassy members to threaten him into having a child. Apologizing for his previous words and actions, Ning Yuanzhou was caught off guard when Ruyi unexpectedly kissed him.
The next day, Ning Yuanzhou, with Ruyi, rejoined the embassy, and he helped fabricate reasons for Ruyi's temporary departure. No one suspected Ruyi. When Yu Shisan tried to introduce himself to Ruyi, Ning Yuanzhou warned him that Ruyi was a comrade they must respect, not a woman to be teased casually.
Yang Ying, refusing to eat and resisting, wanted to return to the capital. She wanted to go back and find out why Danyang Lord and the empress deceived her. A servant girl at the relay station persuaded Yang Ying, accidentally revealing her true identity. Ning Yuanzhou initially planned to kill this servant girl to conceal Yang Ying's identity, but Yang Ying, to protect the servant girl, promised Ning Yuanzhou not to resist eating anymore. However, Yang Ying, seeing Ning Yuanzhou threaten her, became even more disappointed in them. She cried out her grievances and dissatisfaction, unable to understand why her family treated her this way.
Ning Yuanzhou took Yang Ying to the rooftop, showing her the territories governed by the Yang family. He explained the cities facing them, mentioning that Wu Kingdom had thirty-eight such cities. Due to the emperor's reckless expedition, Wu Kingdom lost three cities. Those in power should stop wars and love the people; the people should live and work in peace and happiness. This was the right way for the world. However, the emperor's trusted ministers caused over ten thousand people to suffer in the war, with families broken and lives lost. Yang Ying, as a princess, received an annual stipend of at least five hundred guan, but those who died in battle only received one guan in compensation.
Ning Yuanzhou told Yang Ying that everyone accompanied her to An Kingdom not out of loyalty but to prevent the two countries from falling into war again, and to clear the names of their brothers who died in battle but were unjustly accused. Seeing Yang Ying acknowledge her mistake, Ning Yuanzhou stated that although the journey to An Kingdom was full of uncertainties, as long as she remained firm in her beliefs and worked hard, everyone would be with her through thick and thin.
Due to Yang Ying's poisoning affecting sixty-nine members of the embassy, Ning Yuanzhou punished her with twenty strokes. To save Yang Ying face, he took her into a room for the punishment. Knowing that Ning Yuanzhou couldn't bear to punish her, Ruyi took on the task of disciplining Yang Ying. While punishing Yang Ying, Ruyi asked why she, disguised as a man, took the risk of becoming an Imperial Envoy. Learning that Yang Ying did it to marry Zheng Zhiqing, Ruyi exposed Empress Xiaoyan's malicious intentions. She believed that, with proper education, Yang Ying could become a stronger woman than Xiaoyan. Ruyi thought that when Yang Ying achieved success, she could marry Zheng Zhiqing and step on those who had insulted her.
Ning Yuanzhou saw that, under Ruyi's persuasion, Yang Ying regained her composure. He couldn't understand why Ruyi helped him like this. Ruyi candidly admitted that Ning Yuanzhou's teaching style from a high place was charming, hoping to help him a few more times to make him agree to have a child.
