Recap Chinese Drama "Lost Track of Time" Episode 28

Lu Anran couldn't accept Mu Chuan's arrangement to leave, because she knew that she could not face the pain of losing Mu Chuan from the last time. Mu Chuan faked death made her realized she didn't want to leave Mu Chuan alone. When Mu Ze lost the news of Lu Anran, he thought she would never return to the Qing palace again, but when he saw Lu Anran returning to the mansion, he embraced Lu Anran.

The nurse maid told Xiao Jingque that the emperor knew about Lu Anran and Mu Chuan's past. If the emperor knew that Lu Anran was between Mu Chuan and Mu Ze, causing the palace to be uneasy and the brothers were separated, the emperor might take action against Lu Anran. Xiao Jingque made up her mind to let Lu Anran and Mu Chuan be buried with her brother.

Xiao Jingque came to the palace and forced her way into the imperial study to complain about her injustice, claiming that her brother Xiao Ying was wrongly killed. In front of the emperor, Xiao Jingque said that Lu Anran had been in love with King Qi since she married into the Qing palace, and she instigated the relationship between Mu Ze and Xiao Ying in every possible way. In the end, her brother Xiao Ying was plotted by Lu Anran and killed by Mu Ze. When the emperor heard about this, he was furious at what Mu Ze and Lu Anran had done, and said that he would give the Xiao family an explanation.

The emperor summoned Mu Ze and Lu Anran, and Mu Chuan also learned about it later, knowing that if the emperor knew that Xiao Ying's death was related to Lu Anran, he would definitely not let Lu Anran go. The emperor met Mu Ze and Lu Anran. The emperor told them what XiaoJinggue told him. Mu Ze admitted that he killed Xiao Ying when the emperor order Lu Anran to be killed. Mu Ze stated that he killed Xiao Ying, and this matter has nothing to do with Lu Anran. The emperor gave Mu Ze two choices. If he was at ease as his being King Qing and not to become the emperor, he would be able to keep his rich and prosperous, but if he was not at ease with the position of King Qing, he would drink the rewarded wine if he wanted to seize to be the crown prince. . Mu Ze had always wanted the crown prince position, but he learned that the wine running for the crown prince position was poison through the intestines, and Mu Ze obeyed the emperor's advice and agreed to be the king of Qing. But the emperor asked him to give Lu Anran the intestinal poison wine, otherwise he would lose the throne of King Qing and become a commoner. Facing the throne of King Qing and Lu Anran, Mu Ze was in a dilemma, but in the end he still gave Lu Anran the poison wine as he did to his biological mother.

Lu Anran knew that Mu Ze would never have a chance to be with the throne after today, so she had no regrets and was willing to drink the poison. At the critical moment, Mu Ze hesitated to block the wine glass. Mu Chuan came to the palace and threw the poison wine glass to the ground. Then he presented the memorial for taking over the military power in Gyeonggi. Mu Chuan never wanted to understand whether he should escape reality and be a cowardly and incompetent person, or whether he should hold the power and become the person he least wants to be. But he has people he wanted to protect. Since he can't watch the people he cares about as mercenaries, he wants to work hard to become the person who dominates the fate of others in order to protect the people he loves.

Mu Chuan believed that this turbulent and clear-cut ceremony should not be reduced to an execution ground, and that no one should die here without being convicted. The emperor agreed to Mu Chuan's request and spared Lu Anran's life. Afterwards, Eunuch Li was asked to read out the imperial decree to make Mu Chuan the general of Huaihua and command the heavy army of 30,000 Gyeonggi.

Mu Ze lost his lifelong desire overnight, thinking that Lu Anran's calm expression was mocking him. The position that is so close at hand is no longer available, but it is easily accessible to others. Mu Ze is reluctant to accept the glory and wealth of his life as King Qing, and vows to remember today's shame, and let those who shamed him pay the price. After Mu Ze returned to the mansion, he found Xiao Jingque and killed the nurse maid who was protecting her in front of her. Xiao Jingque now recognizes Mu Ze's true face, and knows that even if Mu Ze becomes emperor, there will be no way for the Xiao family to survived. Xiao Jingque regretted that she insisted on marrying Mu Ze, which led to the death of her brother, who did not like party disputes. Seeing Xiao Jingque cursing that no one truly loves him anymore, Mu Ze was angry and wanted to kill her, but Lu Anran stopped him because the princess was pregnant with his kid.

After confirming that Xiao Jingque was indeed pregnant, Mu Ze warned her to leave. Xiao Jingque wondered why Lu Anran had rescued her. Lu Anran said that Xiao Jingque was very much like an old friend she knew. She couldn't bear Xiao Jingque like that so she saved her. Xiao Jingque asked Lu Anran if she stayed by Mu Ze's side to plot against him.

The wheel of fate finally pushed Mu Chuan to the opposite of Mu Ze. Mu Chuan asked Lu Anran to meet in private. In order to avoid being followed, Lu Anran came to Buzhuang to meet Mu Chuan. Mu chuan hugged her and she hugged him back. Mu Chuan didn't want to waste time and miss the relationship between them. He didn't want to avoid reality and wanted to take the initiative to fight for power. Although he took risks, he only hoped that things would end as soon as possible. Mu Chuan also hoped that Lu Anran could believe in him. .

As New Year's Eve approached, Mu Chuan recommended himself to be the person who lit the eye of the lamp in the lantern ceremony, praying for the emperor and Dahan to light the lamp. Although King Yi opposed and supported by King Qing, the emperor finally decided to appoint Mu Chuan to light a lamp to pray for blessings. After this incident, the officials around King Yi also reminded him that his real rival for power was Mu Chuan. After all, the emperor really liked Mu Chuan, the King of Qi. Then the officials gave King Yi an idea to kill Mu Chuan while he was preparing for the lighting ceremony.
