Ep 25: Fan Changyu says she'll help the kitchen crew once her husband is okay. Gongsun Yin visits her and says her husband has been moved to a new tent. When she finds this strange, he says it's a reward for her service. She's like, "I'm poor, I wanna get paid, sir."
I accept cash and card - Fan Changyu
The Princess is doing a good job at herbs, Xie Zheng thanks her. Then she asks why he's lying, but generally seems to find his relationship with his wife cute. Fan Changyu comes in and almost overhears the truth. She brags that she got money and says she can support him (again)
he finds this very sweet (as do we)
Fan Changyu administers medical care and talks about finding Xie Zheng in the snow. He kisses her, then she kisses him
and then she books it out of the tent (lol). Unfortunately, as some people called, Jin Yuanbao (thug boss) does seem to have something unrequited for Fan Changyu. Look at his tortured face:
you knew she had a husband the whole time!
Blanket hog sister
The Princess collapses because she's tested too many medicines on herself. Gongsun Yin is worried about her, but she explains that as a royal she has both heavier privileges and responsibilities, which he taught her. She wants to do as much good for the soldiers as she can. He's impressed.
The enemy army is planning to starve out the Marquis's army. They are roasting meat that everyone can smell. Fan Changyu learns that Sui Yuanqing is being held in a cave and tries to force her way to see him. He brags about tormenting her sister and killing all her friends so she kidnaps him.
Fan Changyu tries using Sui Yuanqing to force the enemy army to give them food. The rebels are trying to plan a sneak attack but are distracted by her shenanigans.
They keep upping the threats on Sui Yuanqing until Fan Changyu threatens castration and then they give in. Fortunately, this didn't actually mess up any military plans.
I mean do it anyway, why not? Take that man out of the gene pool
The Pig Butcher Squad goes back with provisions but Fan Changyu is in trouble (as she should be honestly, you can't just kidnap prisoners girl). She's taken to a "trial" where some poor soldier is pretending to be the Marquis with a script, but Fan Changyu goes way off script and "Yan Zheng" comes in to save his wife from getting punished.
From the promo pictures for tomorrow, the consequences for HIS actions are coming!
Novel notes: >!We won't get to see Fan Changyu hunt a bear 😭!<
