Episode 33

Wan Ning brought Xue Fangfei into a private cell and wanted her to meet an old acquaintance.Xue Fangfei got closer and discovered that the tortured and tied man in front of her was Xue Zhao, who was unconscious at the moment.Xue Fangfei's heart ached. She saw Xue Zhao's body covered with scars, but she didn't expect that he was still alive.Wan Ning deliberately held back a hand to prevent Xue Fangfei from taking revenge on herself, and asked her if she wanted to save Xue Zhao.Xue Zhao did not recognize Xue Fangfei, so Wan Ning stabbed him hard with a dagger, stimulating Xue Fangfei to retract her confession.

Wan Ning sent Xue Fangfei out of the house. Jiang Yunbai cared about her and greeted her, worried that she would be bullied by Wan Ning.At night, Xue Fangfei woke up from a nightmare, in which she saw Xue Zhao being beaten with a whip.She quickly wrote a letter asking Zhao Ke to hand it over to Situ Jiuyue. After Xiao Heng learned about it, he asked Wen Ji to send more people to watch over Wan Ning.

Jiang Yunbai took Xue Fangfei to the Dali Temple to complain, demanding severe punishment for Shen Yurong. He could not tolerate the damage to Xue Fangfei's reputation.Zhou Qing had already asked the people present at the time to confirm that Shen Yurong had evil intentions towards Xue Fangfei, and wanted to confirm the matter with Xue Fangfei again.Xue Fangfei was trembling all over. She couldn't sign the confession. Thinking of the conditions proposed by Wan Ning, she had to admit that she had seduced Shen Yurong.Jiang Yunbai couldn't believe this and reminded Xue Fangfei to be cautious.Xue Fangfei still recanted her confession, but Zhou Qing acted in accordance with the law and put her in jail for slandering the imperial officials.Jiang Yunbai couldn't understand. He thought Xue Fangfei was threatened by Wan Ning, but Xue Fangfei insisted on blaming herself.

Xiao Heng learned that Xue Fangfei was imprisoned on the spot for retracting her confession, and quickly went to Dali Temple to find her.Xue Fangfei entered the prison just in time to see Shen Yurong being released. The two faced each other face to face. Xue Fangfei accused Shen Yurong of hypocrisy. She would no longer give him a chance and wanted to make their evil deeds public.Shen Yurong was heartbroken, he just couldn't let go of Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun, and thought that Xue Fangfei shouldn't miss him so much.

Xue Fangfei felt sick immediately when she saw him. Xiao Heng came to Dali Temple and passed by Shen Yurong.Xue Fangfei asked Xiao Heng to help confirm Xue Zhao's safety and rescue him from the princess mansion.Xiao Heng went to the princess's mansion to pick him up. Wan Ning had already tortured Xue Zhao and thrown him into the Duke's mansion. She wanted to make Xue Zhao unable to walk before Xue Fangfei's own eyes.

When Shen Yurong returned to Shen's house, he thought of Xiao Heng's provocation to him and asked Shen Ruyun to clean the bedroom. His heart turned dark and prepared to fight back.Shen Yurong apologized to Wan Ning. He asked the Holy Father to help him marry Xue Fangfei, and wanted to keep Xue Fangfei in the Shen family for torture.Wan Ning didn't believe it at first, but Shen Yurong gave her a hairpin and she was moved.Shen Yurong was plotting, and Wan Ning was worried that the Holy Emperor would not agree, so Shen Yurong asked her to ask Concubine Li for help.

Jiang Yunbai approached Emperor Hong Xiao many times about Xue Fangfei's affairs, but Emperor Hong Xiao avoided him.Wan Ning pretended to express condolences to Concubine Li, but Concubine Li was dissatisfied with her and thought she had caused great harm to Ji Shuran.Wan Ning asked her to help arrange the marriage. Concubine Li said that she would not be used as a gunman. Wan Ning caught her and threatened her that she had used evil spirits to kill Concubine Xian. She found the palace maid who had the incident.

Concubine Li invited the Holy Lord to take a walk in the Royal Garden, and deliberately asked him to grant marriage to Shen Yurong and Xue Fangfei, and also asked Shen Yurong to meet the Holy Lord.Shen Yurong hoped that Xue Fangfei would not be held accountable. Emperor Hong Xiao knew this and asked the Minister of Dali Temple to let Xue Fangfei go first.

Xue Fangfei was released and saw Shen Yurong coming to pick him up. He wanted her to marry him and said he wanted to protect her. Xue Fangfei no longer believed him and walked towards Xiao Heng in front of him.Xiao Heng held Xue Fangfei's hand tightly, and the two got into the carriage together.Xue Fangfei heard that Concubine Li was involved and thought there was something fishy about it. Xiao Heng waited for the spies to hear the news.

Xiao Heng brought Xue Fangfei to meet Xue Zhao. The two recognized each other and had a lot to say to each other.Xue Zhao told what happened back then. He was planned by Wan Ning and put in a private prison. Xue Fangfei informed her of her current identity as Jiang Li.When Xue Fangfei returned to Jiang's house, Jiang Yunbai did not blame her for losing face.Xue Fangfei hoped that Jiang Yuanbai would arrange a meeting between Ji Shuran and Li Fei. She did not want the Jiang family to be affected.Xiao Heng found out that Wanning had something to do with Concubine Li, and asked Wen Ji to tell Xue Fangfei quickly.
