Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 唐朝诡事录 Episode 31

Xin Huaishen corrected Gao Zhongyi's infidelity face to face, and Gao Zhongyi didn't know that he was the princess' person until this time. The princess wanted to punish the betrayers with the poison of human face, but was stopped by Su Wuming. Su Wuming believed that the princess should not test these courtiers at the cost of the lives of innocent women in Luoyang. If she really becomes the queen, it will be the suffering of the world. Su Wuming persuaded the princess that Tang Dynasty could no longer stand the toss, and seeking the throne at this time was the way to go against the sky. But the princess thinks that the emperor's elder brother is weak and his nephew is not yet full of wings, and only she can prosper the empire.

Xin Huaishen persuaded the princess to calm down, but Su Wuming pointed out that he was the one who assassinated the prince. Immediately, he took out the person that Pei Xijun had painted, and also said that Hu Shishiniang confessed that the person in the painting had paid a lot of money to buy someone to assassinate the prince. Su Wuming reveals Xin Huaishen's triple identity, proving that he assassinated the prince by himself. The princess was furious. It was the Li family's family matter that she fought with the prince, and it was not an outsider's turn to call the shots.

Then the prince came to the other courtyard, and Su Wuming also informed the princess that the prince stayed in Luoyang for the purpose of supervising the case of the face and the princess, but also for the safety of the princess, but the princess did not believe the prince's good intentions and was going to leave with Xin Huaishen. But at this time, Li Yue and Xin Huaishen suddenly turned against each other and surrounded the other courtyard. It turned out that Xin Huaishen belonged to Li Yue, and Li Yue endured humiliation for so many years just to subvert the Tang Dynasty. Li Yue also told the princess that the human face flower she used was no different from the one in the market, and in another hour, the princess' face would turn into a skeleton.

Li Yue asked his subordinates to kill the princess and the prince, Su Wuming covered the princess to hide in the room, but the prince and Lu Tong were unable to resist Li Yue and others, and the prince was also stabbed. Lu Lingfeng arrived with someone and successfully slaughtered Xin Huaishen, but Li Yue summoned Tiantiexiong, Lu Lingfeng was obviously struggling to fight Tiantiexiong, Su Wuming reminded him that the bear's nose was the key, Lu Lingfeng, Xue Huan and Cherry cooperated, After successfully beheading Tiantiexiong, Li Yue also drew his sword and killed himself when he saw that the helper was dead.

The hour was approaching, and the princess' poison was about to strike, so Wuming Su asked Lu Lingfeng to bring the princess to Master Fei Ji for treatment as soon as possible. Lu Lingfeng brought the princess to the Changshi Mansion, and Fei Ji hurriedly brought the antidote. During this period, the princess also accidentally discovered the mole on Lu Lingfeng's palm. The antidote prepared by Master Fei successfully cured the poison of human face, the princess gradually recovered, and the relationship between the prince and the princess became more and more harmonious.

Wei Dianjun conveyed the princess’ will and asked Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng to go to the temple to meet. Su Wuming asked about the relationship between Lu Lingfeng and the princess. Lu Lingfeng was born in Luoyang and has never seen his parents since he was a child. He was fostered in Zhongning Temple, which is now Chongnian Temple. At that time, the princess often dressed up as a folk woman to visit him. Later, his uncle took him away and told him that the folk girl who often came to see him was a princess and an enemy who killed his parents. And the reason why he was kept in Chongnian Temple was to hang out his father's accomplices.

Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng came to Chongnian Temple to see the princess, and the princess met Su Wuming first and told about the past twenty years ago. When the princess was nineteen years old, she met the person she liked, and then had Ji'er in Luoyang. The person the princess likes is from Caozhou, and she lives in Luoyang to gain fame, but later the princess finds out that this person has concealed his identity, and his real identity is Li Jingye's subordinate. He inquired about Tianhou's whereabouts, and the princess planned to let Tianhou capture her. The man bit his tongue and committed suicide, and his real name was Yang Guan. Then the princess gave birth to a child named Yang Ji. The Queen of Heaven used her power to seduce the princess and let the princess send the child to Zhongning Temple cruelly, but Yang Ji was taken away by a failed scholar at the age of five.

Su Wuming recalled what Lu Lingfeng said. Lu Lingfeng's father, the uncle who took him away, died five years ago. Before he died, he asked Lu Lingfeng to promise that if he saw the princess one day, he would not believe what the princess said. Su Wuming objected to the recognition of the princess and Lu Lingfeng. The princess was the most powerful woman in the Tang Dynasty. If a son suddenly appeared, how would the world view her. Lu Lingfeng has always regarded the Fan Yang Lu family as his greatest honor. If he forcibly recognizes each other, it will eventually kill him.

Under Su Wuming's persuasion, the princess finally made a choice. She brought Su Wuming out to meet Lu Lingfeng. She wanted to give Lu Lingfeng an official but was rejected. She wanted to marry him and Pei Jian's daughter's marriage was also rejected. Seeing that the princess was annoyed by being rejected, Lu Lingfeng simply begged the princess to let her apprentice Xue Huan come to Chongnian Temple to study. Seeing that Lu Lingfeng had nothing else to ask for, the princess could not help but be disappointed. Xue Huan learned of the decision of Lu Lingfeng and others, thinking that they had abandoned him. Lu Lingfeng said that they all hope that Xue Huan will one day become an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and he has also studied in Chongnian Temple since he was a child.
