A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella Episode 19 Recap
> A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella Recap
Nan Fengyi was at home making an umbrella when he remembered how Meng Xizhou had once praised his craftsmanship. He had promised her that on the day she married, he would make an umbrella to marry her. As he thought about it, his mind wandered, and his hand was accidentally cut by a knife, with fresh blood dripping onto the snow. Nan Fengyi grabbed a handful of blood and, just then, he heard footsteps.
He thought it was Meng Xizhou and called out to her. However, it was Nan Sixin who appeared. Nan Sixin remarked that Nan Fengyi couldn’t stop thinking about that girl. He asked why, if he cared so much, Nan Fengyi had entrusted her to the Crown Prince. Nan Fengyi replied that only by being with the Crown Prince could Meng Xizhou be guaranteed safety.
Nan Fengyi then told Nan Sixin that the Empress was a demon and that everything happening now was her doing. Nan Sixin asked why they hadn’t taken action against her. Nan Fengyi explained that the Empress might be the mastermind behind Situ Hanshan, and her demon powers were likely far stronger than his. Thus, their abilities as demon hunters weren’t enough to deal with her.
Nan Sixin admitted that his previous wish had been for Nan Fengyi to master the Beidou Yuan Formation, but now, his wish had changed. Now, he just wanted Nan Fengyi to stay away from all of this and live a peaceful life. Nan Fengyi replied that it was too late; everything was beyond repair. Nan Sixin insisted that he promise to live, and though Nan Fengyi didn’t speak, Nan Sixin took his silence as an agreement.
Afterward, Nan Sixin left with the plaque proclaiming him the world’s greatest demon hunter. Meanwhile, in Xizhou, Beigong Shuo was being pestered by a lamp-bearing child who kept asking him to tell stories. While they were talking, Meng Xizhou returned. They both believed Meng Xizhou must have solved the riddle and was now ready to help Tie Lao save Beigong Shuo’s uncle. Tie Lao appeared and was surprised to see Li Shiyi’s daughter.
Meng Xizhou explained that her mother was a demon king and had been accidentally killed by her father. Tie Lao noticed the painting in their hands and told them that it was made from the tears of a mermaid and was not actually the Scroll of Mountains and Seas. Meng Xizhou was puzzled and asked why the painting could still pull her into it.
Tie Lao confirmed that it was definitely his work, though it had been stolen long ago by his beautiful disciple. When asked who this disciple was, Tie Lao revealed it was Empress Miao Yun, who was now the Empress of the Great Continent. Meanwhile, Empress Miao Yun tied up Beigong Shuo’s subordinates, Pingping and Guangan, and interrogated them about Beigong Shuo’s whereabouts.
Guangan informed her that Beigong Shuo had gone to Xizhou to find his uncle and had taken the Scroll of Mountains and Seas with him. The Empress ordered them to bring Beigong Shuo back immediately. Nan Fengyi objected, warning that the Crown Prince’s uncle had military power, and this might not be a wise course of action. Beigong Shuo asked Tie Lao how to rescue his uncle.
Tie Lao entered him into the painting, telling him he could only watch and not speak. Inside the painting, Beigong Shuo became Zhai Yue and witnessed Situ Hanshan and Miao Yun in a secret and intimate conversation. They were later interrupted when the Emperor and Empress passed by, and Miao Yun seized the opportunity to capture the Emperor’s attention, eventually being brought back to the palace. Beigong Shuo also saw his mother, the Empress, who was later framed by Miao Yun.
The Empress was sent to the cold palace, and on her birthday, Miao Yun poisoned her to death. Beigong Shuo’s uncle then appeared, and both he and Beigong Shuo returned to the present reality. Meanwhile, Miao Yun asked Guo Ji if he would continue following her. Guo Ji, who agreed, was told by Miao Yun to give her something of his before she would truly trust him.
She had him castrated, revealing her knowledge that Guo Ji had been in love with Du Yuelian but had been seeking to please Miao Yun instead. Miao Yun used the murderous aura she had cultivated to attempt to control Nan Fengyi and absorb his power, but this attempt failed. Beigong Shuo learned that it was Miao Yun who had killed his mother. He and Meng Xizhou knew that Miao Yun had been plotting for a long time.
They realized that Changle City was in danger and decided to return immediately. Beigong Shuo’s uncle, General Sun, also declared that he would accompany them to seek revenge for his sister.
