The Deliberations of Love Episode 23 Recap

When Pei Xun arrived, he found Liu Yueqing tied to a tree with Yue Minghe standing nearby. Yue Minghe told Pei Xun that if he wanted to save Liu Yueqing, he would have to die right there, and then the black-clothed men beside him attacked Pei Xun. Pei Xun engaged in a fight with these men while Liu Yueqing watched anxiously, unable to do anything.

During the fight, Pei Xun was injured, which brought joy to Yue Minghe. He laughed and said that after Pei Xun died, he would kill Liu Yueqing too, forcing her to accompany Pei Xun in death. Yue Minghe mentioned that he knew it wouldn't be easy to defeat Pei Xun, so he had applied a potent poison to all his swords. Pei Xun was already poisoned, which made Liu Yueqing very angry.

Pei Xun managed to defeat the black-clothed men, and when Yue Minghe attempted to kill Liu Yueqing, Pei Xun shot an arrow that killed Yue Minghe. He then released Liu Yueqing, who cradled him in her arms.

Pei Xun reminisced about the first time he met Liu Yueqing during the Lantern Festival. At that time, he had just been crowned as the Yì Prince (a title or rank), and he had sneaked out of the palace to attend the festival. Liu Yueqing had promised to guide him, but she accidentally led him to the wrong street. She had guided him to the north street, while the festival was actually happening on the south street.

Liu Yueqing was surprised that Pei Xun still remembered these details and mentioned that they could attend the Lantern Festival together next year.
