Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Episode 16 Recap
> Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Recap
Lou Mingye was deep in thought about what Lan Che had said—that she just wanted to live happily and didn’t want to be entangled in complicated relationships. He remembered how she had been injured while saving him and how she mentioned severing ties with him. Feeling troubled, he was interrupted when Fang Tingge informed him that Xu Bingbing had been found, but she was already dead.
When Lou Mingye saw Xu Bingbing covered with a white cloth, he asked Xu Shaoqing to go home and rest, acknowledging that he had worked hard these past few days. Lou Mingye then noticed Huo Feng nearby and asked why he was there. Huo Feng replied that he had heard Lou Mingye was injured and wanted to check on him. Lou Mingye assured him that he was fine and then Huo Feng inquired about Lan Che.
Lou Mingye explained that Lan Che was injured while trying to save him and had been poisoned by the knife. Fortunately, her master, Huan Xi, was there to help her detoxify. Huo Feng asked if Huan Xi was the one who developed the antidote for Wuyou Powder. Lou Mingye confirmed that it was indeed Huan Xi, prompting Huo Feng to think about her while glancing at Hua Li behind him.
Later that evening, Hua Li entered Lou Mingye’s study looking for the prescription for Wuyou Powder. She was fiddling with a mechanism when she accidentally saw Lou Mingye inside. He asked if she was looking for this, revealing the prescription he held in his hand. Realizing she had been discovered, Hua Li quickly tried to leave, but was stopped by Fang Tingge outside. Lou Mingye asked if, at this time, she still wasn’t ready to be honest with him.
Hua Li turned to face him, questioning whether he had ever trusted her. Lou Mingye replied that it was because she wasn’t Leng Qingyao. Hua Li reported that her superior had exposed himself. The person had said it was no problem; they wouldn’t be able to sit still for much longer. Meanwhile, Xiao Luo was preparing a medicinal bath for Lan Che.
She mentioned hearing that Hua Li had been caught trying to steal the Wuyou Powder recipe from Lou Mingye. She praised Lou Mingye for noticing Hua Li's intentions so early, calling him sharp-eyed. Xiao Luo told Lan Che that Lou Mingye had been nice to Hua Li to make her lower her guard. Lan Che asked which side Xiao Luo was on, and Xiao Luo affirmed she was on Lan Che’s side.
Lan Che remarked that it seemed like they were all fools, with only Lou Mingye being clever. Xiao Luo noted that the water was getting a bit cold and went to heat some more. Fang Tingge and Lou Mingye went to find Lan Che. Lou Mingye knocked on the door, and Lan Che let him in. Upon entering, he saw Lan Che taking a bath and jokingly called her a flirt.
Lan Che responded that she thought he was Xiao Luo. Lou Mingye said he would wait for her outside, and Lan Che asked him to hand her some clothes. Outside, Xiao Luo was ready to enter with a water bucket when Fang Tingge stopped her, saying Lou Mingye was inside with Lan Che. Realizing the situation was precarious, Xiao Luo tried to rush in, but Fang Tingge held her back. Just then, Lou Mingye came out.
When Lan Che was dressed and ready to see Lou Mingye, he explained that taking in Hua Li was a temporary measure. He confessed that when Hua Li claimed to be Leng Qingyao, he sensed that a master manipulator was behind her actions, so he was cautious. Lan Che expressed frustration that he hadn’t told her anything to lower Hua Li’s defenses, fearing she would disrupt his plans.
She asserted that she had the courage to face everything alongside him, but questioned whether he felt the same. Outside, Fang Tingge and Xiao Luo were betting on whether Lan Che would forgive Lou Mingye. When they saw Lou Mingye emerge with a troubled expression, they knew things hadn’t gone well. Xiao Luo asked Lan Che if she really wouldn’t go and work for Lou Mingye, but she remained silent. Xiao Luo wondered why she was still mad at him.
Lan Che replied that she was angry because he insisted on shouldering everything himself. She wanted to protect herself, but also wished to protect Lou Mingye. Lou Mingye sat with a gloomy expression, and Fang Tingge advised him that sometimes, it was essential to voice what was on his mind rather than keeping it bottled up. Huan Xi asked Lan Che to deliver medicine for Lou Mingye’s eye condition, but she was reluctant to go.
Huan Xi warned her that if she wouldn’t go, she might as well throw the medicine away. In the end, Lan Che took the medicine to Lou Mingye, and just as they were about to share heartfelt words, Xu Shaoqing arrived with two chickens, wanting to apologize to Lou Mingye for the trouble he had caused a few days prior.
