Kill My Sins Episode 17 Recap
> Kill My Sins Recap
Xin Jun, after betraying his brothers, not only did not repent, but he also tried to gain sympathy by attempting to kill Gu Wenyu. However, Gu Wenyu was far more skilled than him, and in the end, Xin Jun failed and ended up dying from the consequences of his own actions. At the Wan'an Mountain worship site, Yuan Shaocheng severely injured Li Zongxu with several punches.
Just as he was about to take Li Zongxu's life with a single blow, Ye Ping'an stopped him. Ye Ping'an urged Li Zongxu to reveal his role in the Tongquan Censor case, hoping that if she could find out more, Yuan Shaocheng might spare his life. But before she could ask him who else was involved in the Censor case, Li Zongxu was rescued by his secret agents.
Ni Chang secretly added mind-distracting herbs to the wine that Li Qianzhao drank, causing him to experience terrifying hallucinations. Drunk and disoriented, he drowned in the water. The severely injured Li Zongxu was brought back to his residence, where he heard the bad news of Li Qianzhao’s death and immediately vomited blood before falling unconscious. When Yuan Shaocheng returned to his residence, Yuan Hesheng and several brothers were already waiting for him.
Although Li Zongxu had not died, the Emperor was already aware of his assassination attempt on the envoy, and it was certain that Li Zongxu wouldn’t be spared. Yuan Hesheng and Bai Sheng, after this ordeal, also understood that no matter how far they tried to hide, bad people would always target them, and they no longer had the privilege of hiding. They had won this round against Li Zongxu.
Lu Danxin and the others, along with Ye Ping'an, celebrated by drinking, but Ye Ping'an didn’t feel happy. She went alone to Cai Lian’s grave to drink. She had to admit that she was scared. From the moment she had decided to seek revenge, and even up to now in the Holy Capital, this was the first time she felt fear. She was afraid that someone close to her would be caught in danger or even die.
Yuan Shaocheng came to accompany her and gave her a golden hairpin inlaid with jade. Wu Ankang presented the box of Jiuxiang honey that Yuan Shaocheng had sent to his father, Wu Youjing. Wu Youjing, like Mei Bowen, thought that Yuan Shaocheng was a person with great potential. Wu Youjing reminded Wu Ankang that since the Princess of Shuo Dan’s assassination attempt, Wu Ankang had not visited her, and now it was time to go see her.
Wu Ankang did as he was told, confessing to Princess Jia Yue that he had no romantic interest in her, but if she insisted on marriage, he would have no choice but to become her consort. Princess Jia Yue was not someone who would use her feelings to force him, nor would she threaten him with war. Wu Ankang wished her well in finding a good partner.
The next day, Hao Ji submitted a memorial, stating that the assassination attempt at the night banquet was orchestrated by Li Zongxu, and that Yuan Shaocheng had no involvement. Furthermore, Hao Ji requested the Emperor’s permission for King Chunyang, Wu Liangchen, to marry Princess Jia Yue of Shuo Dan. The Emperor granted permission, bestowing gold, silver, and fine gifts, and sent guards to escort King Chunyang and Princess Jia Yue back to Shuo Dan for their wedding.
With Cai Lian gone, Gu Wenyu was responsible for looking after Black Cub, while Ye Ping'an treated the old madman. The old man’s eyes were gradually becoming clearer. Yuan Shaocheng was reinstated in his position, and the eunuch Fan Cheng delivered the Emperor’s message, advising him to be more careful in the future.
With this matter settled, Yuan Shaocheng, who had been like a tightly wound bowstring for so long, found himself unable to sleep for more than two hours a night. Eventually, his body collapsed, and he fell ill, often plagued by nightmares. Ye Ping'an treated him, and Yuan Shaocheng began to treat her like a confidant, willing to open up to her. Ye Ping'an did not disappoint him.
She helped him resolve the heart demon that had troubled him for many years. Ye Ping'an herself was also troubled by a heart demon, but she had never fully confided in Yuan Shaocheng about it. When the night banquet’s assassination plot was exposed, the Emperor did not punish Li Zongxu. Yuan Shaocheng understood that this meant Li Zongxu still had value in the eyes of the Emperor.
Yuan Shaocheng also realized that Ye Ping'an’s dream-infiltration technique was extraordinary and was curious why she didn’t use it on those investigating the matter. Ye Ping'an explained that she had tried, but the closer she got to the truth, the more she saw the dark side of human nature. Ultimately, it was only the law that could punish and deal with everything.
