The Deliberations of Love Episode 17 Recap

Han Zhen came to inform Pei Xun that there were problems with the grain supply to the border. The situation was becoming unstable, and they requested a reshipment of grain. Someone had accused Pei Xun of mishandling the grain transport, causing the border region to go without supplies, and called for severe punishment. Yue Minghe's father accused Pei Xun of plundering his son's fiancée, who was already engaged, and driving his son away. He appealed to the emperor for justice.

Pei Hao got wind of this and went to the emperor, expressing his belief that Pei Xun, despite his flaws, would not commit such actions. He asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly and not wrong Pei Xun.

Han Zhen told Liu Yueqing that Pei Xun wouldn't be having a meal with her today. Liu Yueqing inquired if something had happened, and she wanted to go out. Han Zhen stopped her. Yue Minghe's father arrived with an imperial decree, and the emperor ordered Pei Xun to reflect in seclusion. Yue Minghe's father suggested that the emperor wanted Pei Xun to kneel.

Liu Yueqing overheard this from inside the house. In the pouring rain, Pei Xun knelt, and Liu Yueqing came with an umbrella to see him. She asked him why he was kneeling, and he questioned her presence. Liu Yueqing explained that she had been at the Eastern Palace for some time, receiving Pei Xun's care, and it was only natural for her to come and check on him. Pei Xun said if she intended to leave sooner or later, she didn't need to come.
