Beauty Strategy Episode 3 Recap
> Beauty Strategy Recap
Ling Zhi felt she could barely suppress her true form and suddenly collapsed in the heavy snow. At that moment, a man in white standing on the city wall saw Ling Zhi about to reveal her true identity. This man was Bing Jian. He didn't expect to see Shuo Ye here. Bing Jian quickly healed Ling Zhi, who was still unconscious. When Mu Xuanjue arrived, Bing Jian gently laid the still-unconscious Ling Zhi down and quickly left to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Mu Xuanjue saw Ling Zhi through the gauze curtain. He ordered the sedan chair to stop. Ling Zhi, looking delicate and frail, forced herself to stand up despite her discomfort. She tried to explain that she had drunk the wine given by Concubine Huan, but before she could finish speaking, Mu Xuanjue gently touched her forehead. His expression then changed, and he told her to obediently go back since she was ill. Thus, he had her sent back.
In truth, the wine was deliberately given to Concubine Huan by Mu Xuanjue's subordinate. He suspected that the Ling Zhi before him was Princess Shuo Ye, but she hadn't revealed her true form, so he still had doubts. Ling Zhi returned to her bedchamber, curling up due to the cold. A maid brought her medicinal soup.
Ling Zhi forced herself to open her eyes and saw that it was a maid from Concubine Huan's side. She didn't want to drink the medicine, but the maid tried to force it on her. This was not a medicine that would improve her condition but poison. Fortunately, Mu Xuanjue arrived just in time, preventing Ling Zhi from consuming it. Seeing Ling Zhi's pained expression, Mu Xuanjue felt deeply distressed. He wondered if Ling Zhi was truly Shuo Ye, why she didn't remember him, given their deep love in the past. If she wasn't Shuo Ye, then who was she?
Ling Zhi's condition improved significantly under Mu Xuanjue's care. Now, all the maids treated Ling Zhi well. However, Ling Zhi couldn't understand why Mu Xuanjue saved her last night. At this moment, a girl who called Ling Zhi "sister" rushed into the bedchamber to congratulate her on becoming a Ling Beauty. She even brought her saved food for Ling Zhi. Seeing the dates and longans, Ling Zhi knew it was not easy for her to gather so much.
Ling Zhi told her younger sister Qing Yan that she needed her help to find someone. Knowing that the Emperor favored Ling Zhi, Qing Yan was very happy. The subordinates were curious why Mu Xuanjue, despite Ling Zhi being the Dowager's person, didn't kill her. Mu Xuanjue said he would not only refrain from killing her but would also cherish her more, making her his new weapon.
Concubine Huan, covered in wounds, came to beg Mu Xuanjue for mercy. Mu Xuanjue told her she was now a useless pawn. Concubine Huan cried, saying she had no choice. Mu Xuanjue also sent Ling Zhi gold, silver, and jewels, and instructed her to accompany him in three days to meet the leader of the Fire Clan. That evening, Mu Xuanjue wanted to stay. The maids, hearing this, sensibly left. Although Ling Zhi was reluctant, she had no choice but to use her body to gain Mu Xuanjue's favor.
