> The Legend of Zhuohua Recap
Princess Rou Jia arrived at the dungeon to see Liu Yan. She immediately started mocking him, saying that he didn't look too good. Liu Yan realized that she was desperate at this point. She presented a poisoned wine to Liu Yan, urging him to drink it. Liu Yan asked her not to rush and suggested they talk first. He asked her if she intentionally provided intelligence to Xue Xiaotang during the Battle of Jumah River, and she admitted to it. However, Liu Yan's will was too strong, and he survived. Nevertheless, this made him a powerful tool that could bring down the Empress Dowager.
Princess Rou Jia told him that she never sought revenge; she wanted power and the supreme position in Nanchen. She inquired if Liu Yan had any last words, especially for Mu Zhuohua. Liu Yan warned her not to mention Mu Zhuohua; otherwise, he would strangle her. He Xin and the others distracted the guards, allowing Mu Zhuohua to reach the bedside of the Grand Princess. She woke her up and pleaded for help in saving Liu Yan, explaining that only the Exorcism Sword in her possession could rescue him. The Grand Princess pointed to her cane at the bedside, revealing that the Exorcism Sword was concealed within it.
Princess Rou Jia approached Liu Yan with the poisoned wine, pressuring him to drink it. Meanwhile, Mu Zhuohua arrived at the Ministry of Justice with the Exorcism Sword. Unfortunately, it was too late, as Liu Yan lay lifeless under a white shroud in the pouring rain. Mu Zhuohua held Liu Yan's lifeless body and cried out in grief. Seeing the Exorcism Sword beside her, Princess Rou Jia thought that even with the sword, she had won since Liu Yan was dead. She questioned Mu Zhuohua's choices at this point, but Mu Zhuohua remained resolute. She then noticed Shen Jinghong standing at the door, but he left disappointed.
Meng'er informed Princess Rou Jia that the Grand Princess had left with Mu Zhuohua. Princess Rou Jia realized that the Grand Princess probably had no intention of returning to the Princess's residence. With the Exorcism Sword already unsheathed, she decided to give it to her. Liu Chen, alone, recalled a sword that Liu Yan had once gifted him. A sudden thunderclap startled him. The Chief General came to inquire about Liu Yan's burial, suggesting a simple ceremony since he was a criminal. Meanwhile, upon hearing of Liu Yan's death, Sun Yunyun went mad, wearing a red wedding dress and causing a scene on the streets.
Mu Zhuohua finally woke up after three days of sleep. Her first question upon waking was about Liu Yan. Zhi Jian told her that Liu Yan had been buried in a park three days ago, unjustly killed. Mu Zhuohua was determined to seek revenge. During the morning court session, Liu Chen ordered everyone to leave, except Mu Zhuohua, who requested a few days off. She visited Liu Yan's former residence and, lost in thought, seemingly didn't hear Guo Juli calling her. While looking through one of Liu Yan's books, she found a jade pendant. Suddenly, she understood its significance and went to a forest where she indeed found Liu Yan. Liu Yan thought she was Mu Zhuohua, who was fearless, and reminded her that she once said she could live well even without him. Mu Zhuohua told him that she had overestimated herself.
Mu Zhuohua woke up from her dream, realizing that it was just a dream. She called Guo Juli to prepare to return to Dingjing. Zhi Jian compiled a list of noble families associated with Princess Rou Jia, which he handed over to Mu Zhuohua. She believed that framing Liu Yan was just her first step, and now she was about to vindicate him. This would make everyone think that Liu Chen had wronged the loyal minister of the royal family, and Princess Rou Jia could then force Liu Chen to abdicate, as she was aiming for the throne. However, Princess Rou Jia believed that the situation was already determined, and Mu Zhuohua couldn't change it.
