Fighting for Love Episode 16 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
The news of Shi Dachun's surrender without a fight quickly reached the front line. The military advisor instructed Shang Yizhi that now was a good time to win people's hearts. The soldiers in Yuzhou City, hearing that their hometown had been occupied by the Northern Desert army, immediately expressed their desire to follow Shang Yizhi onto the battlefield to fight the enemy.
To give his subordinates a chance to catch their breath, Shang Yizhi led the remaining soldiers and weak generals to Wulan Mountain to rest and recuperate. A Mai quietly recovered in the military camp, while also preparing for the second battle plan. Xu Xiuer heard that A Mai was seriously injured and was worried about her. She left a letter for the madam alone and prepared to go to the front line to visit.
When the madam saw the letter, she personally arranged a carriage to escort Xu Xiuer out of the city. Afterwards, Xu Xiuer traveled over mountains and waters alone to reach the Zhenbei military camp. Tang Shaoyi heard that A Mai was recuperating, so he immediately made a pair of crutches and sent them to A Mai. He also often helped A Mai walk outside to get some fresh air.
Shang Yizhi would visit A Mai in the main tent whenever he had time. Seeing Tang Shaoyi taking such good care of A Mai, he felt incredibly jealous. However, this Chang Yuqing had no idea how to avoid suspicion. Even after knowing A Mai for so long, he still didn't know she was a woman. He was constantly caught between A Mai and Shang Yizhi, acting as a super-powerful third wheel.
It was the first time the Zhenbei military camp had a woman visiting, and many soldiers excitedly shouted that A Mai's wife was back. Poor A Mai lay among the wounded soldiers, unable to move from her bed all day. Sometimes the food delivery would be late, leaving A Mai starving. Just then, the soldiers crowded around Xu Xiuer as she entered the tent. Xu Xiuer saw that A Mai's leg still had bloodstains and immediately shed tears of distress.
A Mai comforted Xu Xiuer, saying she was almost recovered. Xu Xiuer came to the military camp and helped A Mai wash up and took meticulous care of her every day. Women were not allowed in the military camp, but this time the military advisor seemed very accommodating and allowed Xu Xiuer to stay and take care of A Mai. On this day, the military advisor specifically came to A Mai's tent. There was no one else around.
The military advisor said that it was inconvenient for Xu Xiuer, being a woman, to help A Mai wash herself, and that he would wash her. A Mai couldn't refuse, so she immediately scratched the wound on her leg until it bled. This way, with the wound still bleeding, it couldn't touch water. The military advisor saw that she was a ruthless person and determined that A Mai was undoubtedly a woman.
Since she couldn't hide it anymore, A Mai told the military advisor about her background and her deep hatred for Chen Qi. This explained A Mai's loss of composure during the previous battle with Chen Qi's army. The military advisor criticized A Mai for being emotional, causing the entire battle plan to be thrown into chaos due to her personal grievances during the fight. A Mai realized her mistake and guaranteed the military advisor that it wouldn't happen again.
Now that the military advisor knew A Mai was the only surviving orphan of the Sheng family, his previous suspicions about her were eliminated. The news of Yuzhou City's fall reached the palace. Some censors impeached Shi Dachun to the emperor, hoping to strip him of his military power. However, some loyal officials strongly supported the Yuzhou generals, saying their victory over Chen Qi's army was indispensable. The emperor asked for Prime Minister Lin's opinion.
Prime Minister Lin stated the facts, saying that with external threats present, they couldn't have internal strife and should instead appease the morale of the front-line soldiers. Furthermore, if something happened to Shang Yizhi, it would be difficult to explain to Eldest Princess Shenghua. This time, the emperor adopted Prime Minister Lin's suggestion, and the heavy troops stationed outside the Eldest Princess's mansion were withdrawn.
Chang Yuqing saw that Chen Qi was delayed in pursuing the Zhenbei military camp, so he volunteered to lead troops to launch a surprise attack on the Zhenbei military camp, also as a birthday gift for Chen Qi. Chen Qi outwardly agreed to Chang Yuqing's suggestion. When no one was around, Chen Qi wrote a secret letter and had his subordinate deliver it immediately.
