Lost Track of Time 覆流年 Episode 27

Mu Ze brought Lu Anran to give Xiao Ying incense. Xiao Jingque was so angry that she wanted to kill Lu Anran. Mu Ze taught her a lesson and warned her not to mess with Lu Anran from now on, but to stay in the Qing palace in peace and till death. Lu Anran was not happy, instead, she felt a sense of sadness.

Xiao Jingque met Xiao Ying's loyal subordinates at night, and wanted them to help kill someone. Then Xiao Ying's men led people to ambush in the forest to assassinate Mu Chuan. Mu Chuan fought the assassin by himself, but he was also seriously injured in the end.

On the other side, Xiao Jingque brought the wine to look for Lu Anran. She was warned by Mu Ze that she did not dare to touch Lu Anran again, but she was also a woman, so how could Lu Anran's eyes that really love Mu Chuan be hidden. Xiao Jingque simply stated the purpose, she just wanted to let Lu Anran taste what it was like to lose Mu Chuan, only then did Lu Anran know that Xiao Jingque sent someone to assassinate Mu Chuan and she hurried to save him.

Lu Anran informed Shen Changqing, but when he got there he only saw Mu Chuan's badly injured body. Dong Qing knew that Su Cheng's family and Mu Chuan depended on Lu Anran's support until now. If Mu Chuan was gone, what would Lu Anran do in the future. Lu Anran looked at the badly injured Mu Chuan  (where she thought he had died) and cried bitterly, regretting that the last time the two met was when a bureau was set up to take advantage of Mu Chuan. He also told Mu Chuan that the protagonist of the shadow play story she told was the girl, but who would believe that she lost everything in that nightmare, and now she is married Mu Ze to protect Mu Chuan and the Lu family. Lu An then regretted that she pushed Mu Chuan away and ruined his sincerity. She should have told Mu Chuan that she loved him a long time ago. The world is so bad, only Mu Chuan can make her feel happy in this ghost hell. Now that everything is gone, Lu Anran is determined to die and wants to kill herself with a hairpin. Mu Chuan stopped Lu Anran in time. It turned out that Mu Chuan and Shen Changqing teamed up to pretend that Mu Chuan was dead, just to know the truth to Lu Anran's heart. Seeing that Mu Chuan was not dead, Lu Anran told Shen Changqing to take care of him and then left and returned to the mansion.

At that time, Shen Changqing came to the forest, and although Mu Chuan was seriously injured, his life was not in danger. Shen Changqing explained that Lu Anran stabbed him to save him, and that Mu Chuan misunderstood Lu Anran's good intentions. Mu Chuan simply pretended to be dead, wanting to take the opportunity to understand Lu Anran's intentions. Mu Chuan thought he didn't think carefully, but now the answer is unbelievable, and he believed everything Lu Anran said without a doubt.

Seeing Lu Anran's sad strangeness, Mu Ze came to question Xiao Jingque's nurse maid, thinking that Xiao Jingque had provoked Lu Anran. He also warned her that Xiao Ying's death was his own fault, and that he let Xiao Jingque take the position of the princess (main wife) as compensation for her, so she is giving an inche don't take a mile. Facing Mu Ze's cold heart, Xiao Jingque was heartbroken.

Through this matter, Mu Chuan completely understood Lu Anran's intentions, and also knew that the other party wanted to be with him in this life, so he sent the letter Lu Anran once wrote to him to the Lu Mansion, so that Lu Anran could understand his intentions. Mu Chuan told Shen Changqing that he had too many worries and left too many regrets before, and now he just wants to rescue Lu Anran from the Qing Palace. Mu Chuan came to meet the emperor and asked for a decree.  Lu Anran was needed to help with the dam, after all, Lu Anran was the most familiar with rivers in the Great Han Dynasty. Mu Chuan invited the imperial decree and took the imperial decree to King Qing's mansion to take Lu Anran away. Although Mu Ze was unwilling, he watched Lu Anran accept the imperial decree. Knowing that Mu Chuan's move was to steal Lu anran, Mu Ze panicked and feared that Lu Anran would leave him, she said she will not leave him. He then told Lu Anran to wait for him to pick her up when the dam was closed.

On the day when the dam was closed, Dong Qing pretended to be Lu Anran and was followed by the servants of the Qing palace, while Mu Chuan wanted to send Lu Anran directly out of Hanjing City on a boat. Mu Chuan did not want Lu Anran to only think about the Lu family but for herself. He would arrange for Lu Anran to run away and leave to be free. it will also make the happy ending of the shadow puppet play that Lu Anran imagined to come true.
