1x28 - A Journey to Love

Emperor An rages after hearing about First Prince's death. Not only did he request an extra 30,000 gold taels from the Wu diplomatic team as ransom, but he also blamed his death on the Crimson Guards, who were innocent. He orders Deng Hui to select 20 members and execute them outside the palace. When Ru Yi and Ning Yuan Zhou reach the site, the execution is already in place. During the key moment, Ning Yuan Zhou avoids the crowd and tells Deng Hui that he has a way to save them.
