Part 3 Summary - Grand Exit

They don't have a medicine that could temporarily fake Zhao Yu's death. (Maybe they should ask from Shen Jin. Sorry couldn't help inserting a little humor from General's Lady.)
In the end, they agreed to have Mo Yan switched places with Zhao Yu inside the coffin. Their plan also rely on Hongji not asking to open the coffin. Or other people touching her which would mean they have to put ice cubes inside the body so her skin would be cold to touch. Fortunately, Mo Yan was up to the task/challenge ahead. Anything to help the princess.

They finalized the details of their plan. Zhao Yu was informed of the plan and Ning Jin assured her it was okay.

Zhao Yu's health was restored. But to other people she would act lethargic. Meanwhile, Mo Yan was faking it sick and lazy. When it was okay for Zhao Yu's body to travel they executed their plan. Su Cui used his tricks and switched the appearances of Mo Yan and Zhao Yu.

News that the Song Princess Zhao Yu has died was announced. Yelu Hongji was quick to pay his respects. Ning Jin asked permission to take back Zhao Yu's body to Song Country and he was permitted. But Hongji wants to escort the body all the way to the border in Yanxie Town. It posed a problem on their plan like how to feed Mo Yan food and water or give her breaks to stretch out.

The first part of their plan went well.
Zhan Zhao also joined the escort group which reassures Mo Yan.
As for Su Cui he will go ahead and meet them in Yanxie Town.

Mo Yan voiced out to Zhan Zhao that she wanted to see his real face already and not his disguise as Yelu Bodhisattva.

The rest of the preparation for the funeral departure was done. When Zhan Zhao watched the nail hammered to the coffin he felt sad thinking what if it was real.

The coffin was placed on a white camel cart. The two white camels were still the favor of Yelu Zhongguang. According to the customs of Liao, they were killed together with the white camels when they were buried.

Zhan Zhao took the lead and walked in the front, the coffin was not far behind him, then Ning Jin’s carriage, and finally Yelu Hongji and others. The camel cart went very slowly, so the whole team was also slow.

Zhao Yu was still dressed as Mo Yan and was in the same car as Ning Jin. Although on the way home, neither of them felt relaxed and had no intention of chatting. Yelvhongji would bring so many people here, and it was beyond their expectation. The more people there are, the more eyeliners there will be and the more difficult it is to act.

Ning Jin worried about Mo Yan in the coffin.

Zhao Yu is not only worried about Mo Yan, but also Su Zui who has gone to Yanxie Town alone.

Except for these two people, Zhan Zhao's worries were even greater than those of them.

What he thought was that Tang Ling followed the team to the border, wondering if he would connect with Pang Yu. If she meets Pang Yu, she must have a secret letter from Yelu Hongji, and this letter is important evidence. He had to think of a way to get this letter.

Everyone has their own minds, but Yelu Hongji is the most relaxed person.

They journeyed for several days without any problems. But sneaking food and water to Mo Yan was not easy with so many people around.
