Resumen del episodio 34 de Pursuit of Jade
> Resúmenes de Pursuit of Jade
Because Wei Xuan broke one of his young grandson Li Huaiqin's legs, Li Xing made a scene before the Emperor, threatening to beat the Drum of Appeal to let the world judge right from wrong. Wei Yan was not in the wrong because Li Huaiqin's mouth was wicked and had slandered Wei Xuan as a bastard first. The two argued until they were red in the face.
The Emperor proposed a solution, but neither Li Xing nor Wei Yan would listen. The Emperor also grew anxious and threatened to take off his dragon robe. Only then did Wei Yan and Li Xing calm down and reluctantly accept the Emperor's solution. Returning to his manor, Li Xing cursed Qi Sheng as a waste and a fence-sitter who had leaned toward Wei Yan's side.
With Xie Zheng's return, Wei Yan straightened his back, and Li Xing realized he needed to find another way out. Li Xing secretly sent people to investigate the Jinzhou case from seventeen years ago, learning that Wei Qilin, who delivered the Tiger Seal, was the key. Although Wei Yan had resolved the trouble Wei Xuan caused, Wei Xuan still had to undergo family discipline. Wei Xuan received eighteen whip lashes, and the resentment in his heart deepened.
Wei Xuan confessed that the reason he broke Li Huaiqin's leg that day was that Li Huaiqin insulted him, saying he was not Wei Yan's biological son and that Wei Yan's true love was a childhood sweetheart in the palace. Wei Xuan wanted Wei Yan to take a look at his bedridden mother, but a letter from Wei Sheng arrived regarding Marquis Wu'an. Wei Yan preferred to handle official business rather than visit his first wife.
Having endured for so long, Wei Xuan finally exploded completely. No matter how Wei Xuan cried and went mad, Wei Yan's heartache only lasted for a second. Qi Shu returned to the palace and went straight to Emperor Qi Sheng to question him about the marriage decree to Marquis Wu'an. Qi Sheng was cowardly enough that after being intimidated by Qi Shu with a stick, he became too scared to mention the marriage again.
Late at night, Qi Sheng went to the Chancellor manor in disguise to beg Wei Yan for help. Wei Yan gave Qi Sheng an idea to recall Fan Changyu to the capital for rewards to demonstrate the Emperor's great favor. Soon, Fan Changyu was titled Flower-Pinned General and conferred as a fourth-rank lady of mandate, entering the capital to receive her rewards.
Qi Sheng first saw such a beautiful golden peony and almost made a fool of himself before the court officials. Li Xing's faction was unwilling to give up that half of the military power and raised objections. Li Huai'an spoke up for Fan Changyu. At this moment, Li Xing spoke, but he was rendered speechless by Changyu's blunt words. Even Wei Yan, who was usually silver-tongued, could not outtalk Changyu.
After the court session, Li Xing intentionally said something to disgust Changyu. Changyu vented her anger on the spot, lightly tapping Li Xing's sedan chair. Not long after the sedan was lifted, the poles snapped, and Li Xing tumbled out of the chair, cursing in anger. When the Emperor learned of this, his stomach hurt from laughing.
Since his ascension to the throne, he had never seen Wei Yan and Li Xing both being held firmly in check by a single woman. Regarding whether to support Qi Min in usurping the throne, Li Huai'an had a disagreement with his grandfather Li Xing. However, Li Xing would not listen to him and ordered the study to be closely guarded, not allowing Li Huai'an to make any moves.
This was Fan Changyu's first time being an official in the capital, so social engagements were unavoidable, but being a butcher wench by birth, she was not suited for such a life. After the social gathering, Changyu distanced herself from the crowd alone. Xie Zheng appeared, kissing and hugging her. Changyu said that those officials and the Emperor had long stopped caring about the truth from seventeen years ago, and everything was a lie.
Xie Zheng comforted her, telling her not to worry, for he would search for the truth with her and return the innocent name to those wronged souls of the soldiers. Li Xing wanted the Emperor to punish Fan Changyu, but Wei Yan came to request credit for her because she had not only killed Lord Changxin but also saved the Imperial Grandson.
Upon hearing of the Imperial Grandson, Qi Sheng clenched his fists nervously, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Fearing that the legitimate royal bloodline would be supported to take the throne, he could only obey Wei Yan in everything. Privately, Li Xing wanted Xie Zheng and Wei Yan to fall out, so he ordered someone to send a message to Xie Zheng in an attempt to spark conflict between Wei Yan and Xie Zheng.
