Episode 22
Han Ziqing accidentally fell to the bottom of the valley, and only Situ and Qianqian escaped.Concubine Qin realized that the time had come and decided to seek help from the king; Li Ge was also alert and eager to take action. On the way, she met Situ and Qianqian and learned of Ziqing's predicament, so she wanted to go to the valley to rescue her immediately.However, Concubine Qin arrived with Prince Nanzhao and Zhao Xi to warn everyone that the bottom of the valley was filled with poisonous fog and that rescue would be tantamount to death.Situ wanted to call Zi Qing, but Concubine Qin stopped him.Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Zi Qing appeared safe and sound, pretending to be relaxed and asking everyone what they were looking for.Seeing that Zi Qing was unharmed, Concubine Qin took the initiative to mention the matter, which aroused everyone's suspicion.At this time, Baili Weisheng and his master Ning Yaoshi appeared and lied that their master saved Zi Qing while collecting medicine. In fact, he did it intentionally because he eavesdropped on the conversation between Concubine Qin and the king.Zi Qing cooperated wisely and successfully obtained the antidote from her master.
On the other side, Jun Beiyue visited the ice pool alone, and was horrified that there were corpses everywhere in it, with different faces. Red and black totems were intertwined, and those with black totems had even more ferocious faces.Exploring deeply, I discovered that a person was bound.Everyone returned to the palace. Concubine Qin and the king insisted on explaining to the fourth prince. Zi Qing declined because Jun Beiyue was seriously ill, but it backfired and caused more suspicion.Zhaoxi questioned whether the fourth prince was really in the palace. Bailiwei was so anxious that he diverted everyone's attention by claiming to be an assassin. However, Zhaoxi still forced his way in and was repelled by Jun Beiyue, thus quelling the rumors.Jun Beiyue revealed the mystery of Bingtan to Zi Qing and showed the music score of Li Shang. Zi Qing speculated that there were still six volumes missing.
When Chu Tiange visited Nanzhao, Chu Feiyan mistakenly thought that he was here to take her back to Xiling, but in fact he was here to facilitate her marriage with the King of Nanzhao.The power of the Xiling country was declining day by day, and marriage was regarded as a good strategy to save the country. Although Chu Feiyan was unwilling, she had no choice, so her resentment towards Zi Qing became even more intense.Zi Qing was not afraid of the threat, but instead angered Chu Feiyan.
The wedding was about to take place the next day. King Nanzhao visited Chu Feiyan at night. Chu Feiyan expressed her desire for freedom and hatred for Zi Qing, and cleverly used King Nanzhao's hostility towards Zi Qing to propose cooperation.On the day of the wedding, the ceremony was solemn. Zi Qing accidentally discovered that the music used for the wedding was actually Li Shang. Li Ge also noticed it and reminded Zi Qing. Zi Qing was extremely grateful.At the same time, Jun Beiyue was determined to explore the connection between the totem and the Gule Cave, and insisted on going there regardless of taboos.
