Everlasting Longing Episode 13 Recap
> Everlasting Longing Recap
Jun Qiluo and Dong Yin met Xi Mo in the forest. Xi Mo stated that the Xi tribe could not afford to lose in the upcoming competition, so Jun Qiluo would have to help. He also promised to keep his word on the things he had promised her. Jun Qiluo subtly hinted that Xi Mo could set a trap here in advance, which surprised Dong Yin. She hadn't expected Jun Qiluo to go to such lengths.
When Sun Zhaomin saw that Jun Qiluo had sided with Xi Mo, she became furious and went to confront her. However, Jun Qiluo only cared about doing business with Xi Mo and paid no attention to their past relationship. Sun Zhaomin was very angry and no longer wanted to be friends with Jun Qiluo. The Empress Dowager visited Xuan Qingkou's tent, but her real aim was to dispose of Shao Qimin.
She arranged for her people to bring him wine, intending to take advantage of the situation. However, several of her people were no match for Shao Qimin and were all killed, while Shao Qimin himself remained unharmed. Dong Yin had planned to eliminate Jun Qiluo in the forest, but just as she was about to act, she got her foot caught in a beast trap.
Jun Qiluo saw this, quickly pried open the trap, and carried Dong Yin back, even personally treating her wound. Dong Yin was moved by Jun Qiluo's kindness because she had never encountered anyone who cared for her like this before. Shao Qimin took the opportunity to leave, and Xuan Qingkou was heartbroken when she learned of it. Since childhood, she had witnessed her mother killing those close to her whenever she formed attachments, leaving her with deep emotional scars.
After this incident, Xuan Qingkou was extremely agitated and locked herself in a corner. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to call for Xuan Lie, who promised to help her find Shao Qimin. Li Fei and Luo Zhizhou had once been lovers. At the time, Li Fei was going to marry the king, and they had planned to elope. However, on the way, Luo Zhizhou stopped, and Li Fei, heartbroken, no longer wanted to run away.
Now, Luo Zhizhou aspired to become the Wolf King to support Li Fei’s child and also to give Li Fei the freedom she desired. Li Fei used the opportunity of meeting with Luo Zhizhou to secretly give him something she had prepared, asking him to protect her because of her old illness, to avoid it affecting the competition. Jun Qiluo arranged for Shao Qimin to monitor the Xi tribe’s people as they escorted the crystal stones in the mining area.
Xuan Lie secretly came to find Jun Qiluo, but in reality, they were working together to stage a play. Xuan Lie came to find out Shao Qimin’s whereabouts and hoped that once Shao Qimin completed Jun Qiluo's tasks, he would go and find Xuan Qingkou. Xuan Lie told Jun Qiluo that when Xuan Qingkou was young, she had secretly gone out to play. After returning, she had a high fever that wouldn’t go down.
Later, Xuan Qingkou witnessed her mother’s orders to kill all of her servants and guards. This experience left a deep emotional scar, which is why she had never gotten close to anyone. Jun Qiluo listened and felt sorry for Xuan Qingkou. Now, Jun Qiluo had successfully earned Xi Mo's trust. However, Xi Zhangkun was cunning and would not easily trust a foreign woman. To test her, he asked her to kill Xuan Lie while they were eating together.
He even gave her the most potent poison from Beixuan. However, killing Xuan Lie was no small matter. If the plan failed, it would be seen as a family-destroying crime, and Xi Zhangkun would be the first person under suspicion. Xi Zhangkun arranged for someone to call Xuan Lie over for a meeting and instructed Jun Qiluo to give him poisoned wine.
Jun Qiluo had no time to send a message to Xuan Lie, so when handing him the wine, she deliberately said, "Whether or not you drink this, we can never go back to how things were. " Xuan Lie must have received the message, as he did not pick up the cup. At that moment, Xi Jixiu and Xi Mo barged in. Xi Jixiu had secretly taken her father's private seal, intending to transfer the mining rights to Xuan Lie.
However, she didn’t know that the private seal was useless, and Xi Mo’s paper had been stamped with the official seal. This greatly disappointed Xi Mo. Xi Jixiu felt she had broken her promise to Xuan Lie and was about to drink the wine herself. Fortunately, Xi Zhangkun reacted quickly and knocked over the wine cup, so the poison could no longer be concealed.
Seeing this, Xuan Lie deliberately pressed a knife to Xi Zhangkun's neck, but he had no intention of killing him. Instead, he took the opportunity to steal his waist token.
