Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei - Episode 23

The flashbacks to Gexiao's past continue.  Tutor is in the Imperial prison after he called out Yan Song for being corrupt and he and Gexiao figure that they'll be up to something in the night before he goes to an open court.  No shit?

Ruyi also find out a bit of news...


Of course she is, it wouldn't make it properly tragic when she dies.  Durrr...

She doesn't tell anyone about the baby, though.  She does get all rad chick about supporting Gexiao when he sets to go out and help Tutor break out of the prison.  Unbeknownst to Gexiao or anyone else when he goes out, she's got a carriage waiting for them when they get him out.  Laiying (Wuqiu) helps Gexiao out in the prison break, where Gexiao has to do some serious slaying


After this, they head for the hills, running three horses to death in their mad dash of trying to stay one step ahead of the pursuing Imperial Guard.  During the flight, Laiying acts more and more like a punkass.  Eventually, putting a rag around his face so he wouldn't be recognized and trying to ditch Gexiao and Tutor when he was charged with getting Ruyi out of the situation when attacked.  He whines about how he was the one who did everything for Ruyi but she won't have any of it....reminding him that Gexiao is her husband and that she was going to support him no matter what.

When Gexiao staggers in with Tutor on the back of a horse, she shoots Laiying a look that speaks volumes


In case you need a clue:


She ends up leaving before anyone gets up to lead the Guard away and the MEN give chase...

To be honest, I'm kinda over this flashback arc...I can't wait until these events come back to the present and we can see how this past stuff affects the present events.  The only present events that have moved forward during this episode is that Gexiao is faking his death after being stabbed by Wuqiu.
