Episode 17: Li Mengjue suddenly vomited blood

After everyone encountered Bai Rui's conspiracy, a shocking secret gradually surfaced.Everyone originally thought that Bai Rui's closeness to Fang Zhibo was sincere, but unexpectedly it turned out to be just a carefully planned illusion.Bai Rui and Xue Liangchen, who rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy in his early years and were eventually killed, turned out to be husband and wife.And Pingzhou's legendary magical herb Artemisia on the Snow is just a cover used by Bai Rui to deceive the world. She used this name to deceive and kill women, refine the so-called elixir, and attempt to resurrect the dead Xue Liangchen.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Bai Rui insisted that she was innocent, but Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue recalled the clothing mistakes in Yin Sanniang's house, as well as the unique and different smells of Bai Rui and Yin Sanniang, and finally exposed Bai Rui's conspiracy to pretend to have multiple identities at the same time..Seeing that the matter was revealed, Bai Rui attempted suicide, but before she died, she still did not forget to sow discord and tried to shift everyone's suspicion to Lu Xi'er.

However, Xie Jingshu found a lot of light coins and a secret letter in the secret room, which revealed that Du Shaoqing, who was closely related to the tragedy of Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue's parents, was actually from Yuan Dynasty.What is even more shocking is that the blood on Yuan Ji's body does not seem to be his own, and the body has been dead for more than a day.At this time, someone discovered that someone from Southwest Pingzhou had visited Yuan Ji the day before. All of this seemed to be inextricably linked to the legendary Artemisia on the Snow“.

Xie Jingshu, determined to pursue the truth, decided to rush to Pingzhou, where he might be able to find all the answers.On the way, everyone took a break. Li Mengjue saw that Xie Jingshu was deeply sad because of Yuan Ji's incident, so he wanted to comfort him, but it failed.Xie Jingshu told Li Mengjue his experience with Yuan Ji, and the relationship between the two was as deep as that of father and son.For the first time, Li Mengjue felt empathy and concern for Xie Jingshu.

However, not long after, Xie Jingshu brought out the evidence of the fragrant powder, implying that everyone's whereabouts had been leaked, and the one who was most suspected was Lu Xi'er.Late at night, Li Mengjue's behavior of meeting Yunshan Jun was discovered by Xie Jingshu. It turned out that the person who leaked the traces along the way was actually Li Mengjue himself.This discovery shook Xie Jingshu's trust in Li Mengjue.

Li Mengjue returned to Bai Rui's room to investigate, but after leaving Huachaolou, he met Xie Jingshu, who was walking in black at night.Xie Jingshu seemed to have already figured out Li Mengjue's true identity, and the two confronted each other on the street.Li Mengjue took the lead in attacking, and the two started a fierce fight.During the battle, Li Mengjue confessed that he was Bai Wuguo of Suomingmen.During the entanglement, the two encountered an assassin again. After a hard battle, the two managed to escape.

In the corner, a figure walked out quietly, it was Bai Rui.It turns out that it was she who ordered the pursuit of Xie Jingshu and Li Mengjue, and her previous ”death% was just a fake death.Li Mengjue and Xie Jingshu, who hid in the ruined temple, questioned each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.During the bickering, Li Mengjue suddenly vomited blood, causing Xie Jingshu to panic.He held the weak Li Mengjue, and Li Mengjue confessed his feelings to Xie Jingshu at this critical moment.She said that she had never thought about the love between her children since she joined the Mingshengmen, but Xie Jingshu was an exception to her.

Later, Li Mengjue followed the footprints all the way back to Hua Chao Tower, and accidentally bumped into Liu Yu'an teasing Bai Rui, so he came to the rescue.However, after rescuing Bai Rui, Li Mengjue took the opportunity to extort money and got the silver from Bai Rui.Soon, when Li Mengjue returned to the room to check the wound, he was bumped into by Xie Jingshu who suddenly walked in.Seeing that Xie Jingshu was suspicious, Li Mengjue took out his hairpin as a precaution, but Xie Jingshu saw through his intention and had to pretend to be weak and throw away the hairpin.Xie Jingshu asked about the injuries on Li Mengjue's body, and Li Mengjue had to make up a sad drama, using the excuse that his injuries were caused by a high-ranking official in Gyeonggi Province.Xie Jingshu mistakenly thought it was the Liu Mansion in the east of the city, so Li Mengjue followed suit and pretended to be asleep to change the subject.

Looking at Li Mengjue's back, Xie Jingshu's mind vaguely recalled the scene when they first met.Back then, Li Mengjue was almost killed by gangsters, but fortunately Xie Jingshu came to his rescue.Xie Jingshu, who returned to Dali Temple, received a secret letter and learned that the Haibo map contained clues to the identity of Artemisia on the Snow. He told Jingyan to closely monitor every move of Liu Mansion.
