Episode 5
At the beginning of the peace talks, Emperor Lu put forward a clause that required the Zichuan family to return Princess Cardan to the barbarians before they could sign a treaty.This request aroused Ge Yingxing's dissatisfaction. He questioned Emperor Lu, thinking that returning the princess first might put the Zichuan family into a disadvantageous situation, because if the barbarians tore up the treaty and refused to acknowledge their debt, Zichuan would be at a disadvantage.Finally, under the mediation of the barbarian envoy Mu Qi, both parties agreed that Princess Cardan would attend the peace talks in person tomorrow to witness the beginning of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
However, Yang Minghua learned the news. In order to sabotage the peace talks, he arranged to restrain Ge Yingxing on the frontline battlefield, and at the same time instructed Luo Minghai to assassinate Princess Cardan.On the other hand, Ge Yingxing and Zi Chuanxiu speculated that Yang Minghua would not sit idly by. They expected that Kadan would be in danger, and urgently ordered Zi Chuanxiu to protect Kadan.
Zi Chuanxiu came to the prisoner of war camp on the grounds that the Director-General was distributing benefits. When she discovered that Cardin might be in danger, she decided to go and inform Si Yilin.After discussion, the two decided to let Zi Chuanxiu pretend to be Cardin and stay in the prisoner of war camp, while the real Cardin returned to the mansion with Si Yilin, and was personally protected by Si Yilin.
Sure enough, that night a masked man in black sneaked into the prisoner of war camp to assassinate Cardin, Zi Chuanxiu bravely repelled the assassin.The fight attracted Zichuan soldiers guarding the prisoner of war camp. Zichuanxiu's disguise was about to be exposed. At the critical moment, Baichuan arrived in time to rescue Zichuanxiu.However, this move aroused Zi Chuanxiu's suspicion, and the crisis recurred.
