Heart of Loyalty 一片冰心在玉壶 Episode 23

Zhan Zhao helped Mo Yan hang up the lantern. When the two had a sweet conversation, they saw Zhao Yu crying and running out of Su Zui's room. Mo Yan felt that Su Zui must have made Zhao Yu sad. Mo Yan broke into the room and Su Zui hurriedly hid the hairpin. In order to stimulate Su Zui, Mo Yan emphasized that Zhao Yu would stay in the house after marriage and would never meet Su Zui again in this life. Su Zui did not express his opinion after hearing this. Mo Yan was angry and indisputable. Zhan Zhao asked Su Zui to dress up as Yelu Bodhisattva slave and send Zhao Yu to marry, which was also regarded as Su Zui's heart.

On the day of the wedding, Zhao Yu wore a phoenix crown and a hail, but there was no joy in his heart. After Taishi Pang declared the imperial decree, he sent Yelu Bodhisattva into the Datong Pavilion to greet Zhao Yu. Zhan Zhao went to Su Zui early in the morning, but Mo Yan didn't know how the two negotiated. Yelu Bodhisattva reached out his hand to help Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu heard the voice and knew that the person under the mask was Su Zui, which made her smile finally. Before getting into the carriage, Zhao Yu looked back at Su Zui deeply. This section of the road will be the last intersection of the two.

Su Zui rode a horse to lead the welcoming team on the road, while Mo Yan, Zhan Zhao, and Wu Zichu mixed in the crowd to intercept the assassins who wanted to greet the team. On the heights of the building, a group of assassins bowed their bows and shot arrows. Although a few people resisted with all their might, there were still arrows flying straight to Zhao Yu’s wedding car. Su Zui, who had no martial arts, tried his best to support, but there was an arrow before he could catch it. After the wedding car, Zhao Yu was injured and fell to the ground. Su Zui ran to Zhao Yu and picked her up. Zhao Yu finally waited until Su Zui came to his side.

After receiving the news, Taishi Pang felt that his plan had been successful. When he came to Yeluhongji's palace, he looked indignant. Yeluhongji promised to give Da Song an explanation. Taishi Pang threatened to give Zhao Yu even if the soldiers were facing each other. Justice. The gunpowder in the hands of the assassin attracted Ning Jin’s attention. Yelu Hongji felt that the identity of the person who assassinated Zhao Yu was definitely not ordinary. Taishi Pang asked Yelu Hongji not to jump to conclusions so as not to implicate the royal family. Yelu Zhongguang felt that this was inappropriate and the two had a dispute. During that time, Wu Zichu brought a Tubo to an audience. The Tubo people accused Yelu Chongguang of doing gunpowder business with him, Ning Jin took out relevant letters as evidence, and Yelu Hongji ordered the people to take Yelu Chongguang into prison. Yelu Hongji thanked Ning Jin for helping him get rid of Yelu Chongguang, and Ning Jin asked Zhao Yu to leave Liao.

After diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor said that Zhao Yu was injured in his heart, and he might be dead soon. Everyone was depressed, and Xiao Guanyin, who had a sharp personality, asked the imperial doctor to treat Zhao Yu with all his strength, otherwise he would have to be buried with him. Zhao Yu, who was awake, noticed that everyone looked strange. Ning Jin was unwilling to tell Zhao Yu the truth, so she lied to her that she was fine. Mo Yan told Zhao Yu that she could return to Song Dynasty and continue to be a princess. Zhao Yu bluntly said that she was tired of being a princess and just wanted to be a free Zhao Yu. Su Zui quietly stayed aside. Mo Yan created a chance for the two to be alone. Su Zui felt guilty for failing to protect Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu never blamed Su Zui. She hoped that Su Zui could tell her stories in the future. Zhao Yu sighed with emotion that her only regret was not being able to get Su Zui's love. She tried to reach out her hand to touch Su Zui's face but fell again and again, and Mo Yan wailed the howling princess. Ning Jin's eyes were red when he heard it, and he decided to escort Zhao Yu's body back to the Song Dynasty to fight against Liao.

The funeral procession was huge, and Mo Yan asked Zhan Zhao to act in secret. After all, in the eyes of Taishi Pang, Zhan Zhao had already died. Su Zui went to the prison to meet with Yelu Chongguang. Yelu Chongguang knew Su Zui’s identity and asked him why he didn’t rely on the identity of Yelu Bodhisattva to bring down the Liao Kingdom. Although Su Zui hated him for assassinating Zhao Yu, he bluntly said that he didn’t want to. Innocent people are disturbed by the war. Before leaving, Su Zui left the mask to Yelu Zhongguang, and Yelu Zhongguang said that he had given the tiger charm to Master Pang Tai.

When Zhao Yu returned to Beijing, Baiguan dressed in filial obedience to greet him, and the queen fainted with tears. Su Zui, who had completed the task and returned to Beijing, fought with a few people who insulted Zhao Yu. He was knocked to the ground because he was drunk without martial arts. Mo Yan took care of Su Zui carefully, but when Su Zui woke up, he looked for a drink again. Mo Yan bluntly said that Su Zui would be killed if he drank it again. Su Zui felt that he could not protect Zhao Yu and should have died long ago. Zhan Zhao bluntly said that now Taishi Pang wants to rebel, Su Zui should get up and do what he should do. Su Zui asked Zhan Zhao how to choose between the beloved and the feelings of family and country.

Ning Jin asked Bao Zheng to play chess, and talked about the increasing wind chill of the emperor, while the military situation at the border became more and more turbulent. Ning Jin bluntly said that he and the emperor had been emptied by Taishi Pang, but Bao Zheng did not respond. Taishi Pang held a complete tiger charm and stood up to report the situation. He had been lurking next to Ning Jin, and the conversation between Ning Jin and Bao Zheng was relayed to Taishi Pang.
