Episode 7 recap: Lingering Affection.
Mu Xuan Jue brought Ling Zhi back to the room, and by this time Ling Zhi was already coughing up blood. Mu Xuan Jue ordered Ling Zhi to live, and Ling Zhi also knew that she had to live in order to protect her clan. Mu Xuan Jue became furious when the doctor had not arrived for a long time. When the doctor finally came, he examined Ling Zhi's injuries and found that her heart meridian was already damaged, and he was powerless to save her. Upon hearing this, Mu Xuan Jue became extremely angry and threatened to kill the doctor as an offering.
Huan Fei learned of Mu Xuan Jue's abnormal behavior, and it seems that this Ling Zhi is very important to Mu Xuan Jue. After the doctor's strenuous efforts, fortunately Ling Zhi has successfully escaped danger. Mu Xuan Jue sent people to investigate who tried to assassinate him, as if there was once, there will surely be more. This person must be caught.
After Ling Zhi woke up, the maid beside her congratulated her, after all, Mu Xuan Jue is now very good to her. Ling Zhi's body has not fully recovered yet, and seeing the medicinal soup delivered, she did not know if there was wine added to it again, so she quietly poured the medicine away when no one was around. This scene was just seen by Mu Xuan Jue, who became very angry. Ling Zhi could only say that she had been poisoned before and barely escaped with her life, so she is now particularly cautious.
Mu Xuan Jue, in order to show that he had no ill intentions, personally drank the bowl of soup, and then handed it to Ling Zhi, who quickly finished it without hesitation.
After drinking the medicinal soup, Mu Xuan Jue took out a piece of candy and put it in Ling Zhi's mouth, saying that this way it would not be bitter. Mu Xuan Jue's sudden action surprised Ling Zhi, causing the bowl in her hand to drop to the floor.
Mu Xuan Jue kissed Ling Zhi, not letting her spit out the ginger candy. Mu Xuan Jue missed this kiss very much, but Ling Zhi was very unfamiliar with Mu Xuan Jue. After the two kissed, Mu Xuan Jue picked up Ling Zhi and placed her on the bed, saying that he would not do anything to her, and then left.
Ling Zhi was still uneasy about that kiss. Mu Xuan Jue would apologize in front of his mother's tombstone, as he still could not bring himself to harm Ling Zhi, for she had just saved him. Huan Fei called Ling Zhi over and said that as long as she lost the emperor's favor, she would not live long in the palace, and would surely meet the same fate, but even so, Ling Zhi was still unwilling to give up.
Huan Fei also asked Ling Zhi if she had fallen in love with Mu Xuan Jue, but Ling Zhi said that there was no love in the palace, and she and the emperor were only a ruler-subject relationship. This sentence was overheard by Mu Xuan Jue, who was standing outside the door, and he angrily turned and left.
