Episode 15 recap: The Most Powerful Woman

After investigation, it was indeed found that Ling Zhi was an orphan, but the Empress Dowager always felt that there was something wrong with this Ling Zhi, after all, Mu Xuan Jue knelt down for her, which must mean he truly liked Ling Zhi. The Empress Dowager also sent someone to summon Mu Xuan Jue to get up. Mu Xuan Jue's feet were bleeding profusely from kneeling for a long time. Mu Xuan Jue had sacrificed the dignity of an emperor for Ling Zhi.

In fact, Ling Zhi also knew that Mu Xuan Jue had hidden his most vulnerable side. But now, Mu Xuan Jue felt that everything he had done yesterday was worth it, and he also wanted Ling Zhi to remember what he had said last night. Mu Xuan Jue came to the dungeon to visit his mother, and he did not understand why Ling Zhi had killed her, but she still managed to say something about sacrificing herself.

Just as Mu Xuan Jue was about to leave, the candle in front of his mother went out and then lit up again. Mu Xuan Jue also learned the words his mother had told him. Soon, Ling Zhi was enthroned as the Princess Consort, and on the same day, she met Bing Jian. Ling Zhi thought that she would just have to wait, and one day she would break free from this cage.

Mu Xuan Jue was confined for thirty days, and Ling Zhi had to take over her duties. Ling Zhi also understood that she must get back what she was owed, principal and interest. Mu Xuan Jue caressed Ling, knowing that the path ahead was long, but he would definitely protect Ling Zhi. In the palace, Ling Zhi discovered that the newly renovated area had already started having problems. She found in the account book that the Ling Mountain spring water was a necessity for the Ling Clan, but why would so much be needed here.

At this time, Mu Xuan Jue just happened to come over, saying he was just passing by, but in fact, he had come specifically to visit Ling Zhi. Ling Zhi's words left Mu Xuan Jue speechless, but she didn't ask further. Mu Xuan Jue brought Ling Zhi some candied haws, which she seemed to really enjoy, as it was her first time eating them.

Mu Xuan Jue caressed Ling Zhi, and they were both actually quite young. Ling Zhi gave the candied haws to Mu Xuan Jue to eat, and he took a bite, and the atmosphere between them suddenly became ambiguous. Mu Xuan Jue also told Ling Zhi not to work too hard and to remember to rest, then he left.
