Wonderland of Love Episode 29 Recap
> Wonderland of Love Recap
Wu Luo is a cunning and ruthless person, adept at making the most of everything. Since he has invested so much, he sent people to secretly infiltrate the Central Plains along with Liu Chengfeng, indicating a plot. Cui Yi, aware that a formidable enemy is approaching, promptly dispatched people to investigate and uncover the whereabouts of Jie Shuo's people. On the other side, Liu Chengfeng, with an air of arrogance, paid respects to Li Lai, thanking him for lending troops to help capture Baishui Pass. He also mentioned bringing many Jie Shuo people, available for Li Lai's use. Li Lai inquired about Liu Chengfeng's motives, suspecting an ulterior motive behind his assistance. Liu Chengfeng straightforwardly stated that Li Lai's marriage to Cui Lin is not enough; only with Li Ni's death can they eliminate future troubles. His sole intention is to ensure Li Ni's demise.
As the time came for them to part ways again, Cui Lin couldn't help but ask Li Ni, if one day she did something that made him particularly angry, would he stop liking her. Li Ni initially thought about teasing Cui Lin but realized the sincerity of his feelings for her. Perhaps, in the future, he would continue to like her for a very, very long time. Hearing this, Cui Lin was very pleased and decided to make another bet with him. If she counted to ten and Li Ni still didn't open his eyes, in the future, if they became enemies, she would let him three times, and vice versa.
When Li Ni counted to four, Cui Lin kissed him again, just like last time. However, this time, there was a hint of reluctance and nostalgia. Li Ni slowly opened his eyes, admitting that he was willing to concede the bet. If they became enemies in the future, he would let Cui Lin three times. Afterwards, he kissed her again, gentle and domineering, cherishing the tenderness of the moment. Before leaving, Li Ni gave Cui Lin a small straw man.
Soon, news of the Cui family army's victory at Baishui Pass reached the capital. The new emperor was overjoyed and decided to grant a general amnesty, ordering Li Jun's release. Li Ni was shocked and angered, asserting that the success of the Cui family army had nothing to do with Li Jun. He personally set fire and killed the Princess Xin, but instead of acknowledging this, the new emperor blamed Li Ni, claiming that Li Jun was his brother, and he shouldn't be so unrelenting. The atmosphere became awkward, and Pei Xian stepped forward to submit a memorial, revealing another petition from Cui Yi.
Cui Yi specifically submitted a memorial regarding the matter of establishing a crown prince for the East Palace, requesting Li Ni be appointed as the Crown Prince to secure the foundation of the country. Before Cui Yi could finish reading his memorial, the new emperor became furious. The court was in an uproar, and the tension became palpable. Gu Wanniang was the first to speak up, stating that establishing a crown prince is a significant national matter and entirely appropriate. Many ministers followed suit, expressing agreement with Cui Yi's suggestion. Kneeling on the grand hall, Li Ni felt no joy, only an endless sense of worry and annoyance.
Upon learning of this, Cui Lin was also distressed, guessing that Li Ni would be angry with her and her father over this matter. Indeed, Li Ni visited without an invitation, immediately asking Cui Lin for the pearls he had left with her. When Cui Lin snapped back to reality, she felt as if a sharp sword had slashed through her heart and resentfully returned the pearls to him. Li Ni also returned the hairpin, leaving with a statement of "no debts owed." He secluded himself in the courtyard for the entire day, ignoring everything around him. Unbeknownst to him, danger was quietly approaching at this moment.
On this day, Gu Wanniang and Li Ni's wet nurse made some bamboo shoot buns, expecting Li Ni to come and taste them. However, after waiting for a long time without Li Ni's arrival, and the wet nurse being quite hungry, she picked up a bun and started eating. Suddenly, she collapsed. When the doctor arrived, it was too late to save her. Li Ni, overwhelmed with grief, sat blankly where the wet nurse had been waiting for him. He picked up a bun, wanting to taste it to alleviate his longing, only to find that it had a strange taste. To investigate the true cause of the wet nurse's death, he had to have her coffin opened.
Cui Lin, upon hearing the news, was deeply saddened and worried that Li Ni might be overwhelmed with grief. However, unsure of how to approach him in this situation, she couldn't help but quietly come to the Prince Qin's mansion, just watching from a distance. Li Ni seemed to sense Cui Lin's presence, but he ultimately didn't approach her. Learning that Li Ni rushed to open the coffin for a post-mortem examination, Cui Lin hurriedly instructed Tao Zi to inform Xie Zhanger that if Li Ni rushed out, she must stop him at all costs.
As expected by Cui Lin, when the investigation revealed that Li Jun had bribed the wet nurse's son to sabotage and harm Cui Lin, inadvertently causing the wet nurse's death, Li Ni was furious. He raised his long sword and headed towards the Prince Xin's mansion. Li Jun pleaded innocence, cowering on the ground. Just then, Pei Yuan arrived in time and intercepted Li Ni. Furious and agitated, Li Ni couldn't let the Western Army be in a disadvantageous position because of him. He ruthlessly threw down his sword, and seemingly understanding Li Ni's anger, the sword cut across the back of Li Jun's hand from Li Ni's own.
