Kill My Sins Episode 19 Recap
> Kill My Sins Recap
Wu Xian'er and her brother were drinking at Wanguo Xiang and invited Ye Ping'an to join them. Ye Ping'an asked Wu Xian'er why the Empress refused to meet her. Wu Xian'er explained that either Ye Ping'an had done something wrong, violating the Empress's taboos, or the Empress knew exactly what Ye Ping'an wanted, but simply didn’t want to entertain it. Wu Xian'er’s explanation was in line with Ye Ping'an’s suspicions.
Ye Ping'an told Wu Ankang that Li Zongxu was indeed the person who obstructed the salt and grain transportation to the border during the Battle of Jin Yuan, but the salt traffickers captured by Wu Ankang had no connection to Li Zongxu. Ye Ping'an pointed the finger at Gong Shao, the warehouse manager of Dongqiao Salt Depot, and suggested that Wu Ankang should find an opportunity to investigate Dongqiao Salt Depot.
Wu Xian'er reminded him that without solid evidence, it would be best not to confront Gong Shao directly, or else they might alert their enemies. In a few days, it would be the 15th of August, and Gu Erniang had made Hu Bing (a type of bread). Half was sold, and the other half was shared among the three of them.
The four of them sat in the yard, happily eating steamed buns sent by the old ghost and the Hu Bing made by Gu Erniang. Lu Danxin pretended to be one of the staff from Qixi Painting Shop and went to Hai Yiping’s residence to deliver paint. There, she saw an elderly poor man being led into Hai Yiping’s study by the housekeeper.
She sneaked closer to eavesdrop and overheard the old man telling Hai Yiping that Ye Ping'an’s real name was Gu Qing, and that it was she who had used the sleep-inducing technique to lure the girls into the abandoned house years ago. Lu Danxin was in disbelief, deeply distressed. What she didn’t know was that she and Ye Ping'an had already been targeted by Hai Yiping's people.
Hai Yiping knew that Lu Danxin was coming to deliver the paint that day, so he had the old man come again to repeat everything he knew. Hai Yiping, reporting to his superior while wearing a mask, expressed his desire to transfer Xu Qing out of the Holy Capital to prevent any further investigations. As for Ye Ping'an, Hai Yiping believed that the friends who had been around her day and night were her greatest weakness.
If she lost the trust of her friends, it would be a fatal blow. Lu Danxin, having spent much time with Ye Ping'an, still held a faint trust in her. She casually mentioned the things she had overheard, and to her shock, Ye Ping'an openly admitted that she was indeed Gu Qing. Years ago, when Ye Ping'an was a child, Du Liang had tricked her into using the sleep-inducing technique to lead three women into an abandoned house.
Because she was just a little girl, the women hadn’t suspected her. The butterfly pendant belonged to Ruan Qin, the first survivor of the abandoned house fire that Ye Ping'an had encountered. Lu Danxin became utterly disappointed in Ye Ping'an, severing their friendship and deciding to act on her own from now on, no longer taking orders from her. A storm was brewing, and in Anxin Pavilion, there was a figure in the shadows.
At first, Ye Ping'an thought it was Lu Danxin returning, but when she went over to check, it was Yuan Shaocheng. Ye Ping'an told him that, with Lu Danxin’s temperament, she was probably already on her way to assassinate Hai Yiping. She explained that she was telling him this because Hai Yiping knew the full details of the Censor’s case, and he couldn’t die just yet.
Yuan Shaocheng arrived in time to stop the crossbow bolt that Lu Danxin had aimed at Hai Yiping, and he handed Ye Ping'an’s Heart Healing Handbook over to Hai Yiping. Lu Danxin had secretly planned this assassination attempt, but her true goal wasn’t to kill Hai Yiping. Instead, she had designed a trap to provoke him into speaking, but Hai Yiping had already seen through her scheme.
Hai Yiping not only refrained from killing Lu Danxin, but also told her that if she stayed, he would take her to a certain place the next day. Under Hai Yiping’s instruction, the old man at the tea stall spoke to Ye Ping'an about the past, and intentionally had someone push the old man into the river to see if Ye Ping'an would help. To Lu Danxin's surprise, Ye Ping'an chose to do nothing.
Hai Yiping had in his possession a letter of grievance that Yu Qian had written to him from prison. He told Lu Danxin that if she helped him kill Ye Ping'an, he could testify before Guo Yu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, that Lu Danxin was a survivor of the fire in the abandoned house. In that case, Lu Danxin could overturn the Censor’s case. Lu Danxin agreed to cooperate with him.
