Fighting for Love Episode 22 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
Shang Yizhi could have captured Chen Qi, but he was careless and let him escape. When Shang Yizhi shot an arrow at Chen Qi, he accidentally killed Cui Yan, who was Chang Yuqing's younger brother. Shang Yizhi took A Mai and fled. That night, Chang Yuqing cremated his brother. Looking at his brother's young face, Chang Yuqing swore to repay the blood debt.
Just after finishing Cui Yan's funeral arrangements, Chen Qi's soldiers surrounded Chang Yuqing, accusing him of intending to rebel. The Empress Dowager of the Northern Desert was surprised to hear that the young Emperor wanted to lead the campaign personally. She was impressed that he had such ambitions before coming of age. The Empress Dowager asked him why he had this idea.
The young Emperor said that he heard his subordinates saying he was a puppet emperor, and he couldn't stand it, so he wanted to achieve something to prove himself to everyone. The Empress Dowager was extremely angry after hearing this and ordered her subordinates to thoroughly investigate who let the Emperor hear such gossip. Chen Qi imprisoned Chang Yuqing in the confinement room. However, the Chang family's influence in the Northern Desert should not be underestimated.
Soon, the imperial court summoned Chang Yuzong to go south to inspect the war situation. With Chang Yuzong arriving, Chen Qi had no choice but to release Chang Yuqing. Chang Yuzong conveyed the message that their father was very angry upon hearing that Chang Yuqing intended to marry a woman from the south and had declared that the Chang family would absolutely not agree to marry a woman from the south.
Chang Yuqing told his younger brother that he indeed wanted to marry her and would someday bring this woman into his home in a grand manner. When A Mai returned to the military camp this time, some gossip started to spread. Some soldiers secretly said that A Mai was just a woman, and some even began to defy A Mai.
Zhang Erdan and Zhang Shiqiang had a very good relationship with A Mai and even fought with other soldiers in the camp over this. A Mai pulled the two groups of soldiers apart and punished each of them with twenty military whips. With rumors spreading everywhere, A Mai had a plan in mind and decided to put on another act to make everyone believe she was a man.
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Desert came to negotiate peace, which greatly surprised the Emperor who had gone south. The Northern Desert had always been known for its cavalry, known for their bravery and invincibility in battle, yet now they were willing to seek peace. This must be due to Shang Yizhi's influence. The Emperor was naturally suspicious, and at this time, Shang Yizhi's presence had already threatened his authority.
In the military camp, some ill-intentioned people deliberately made fun of A Mai. During the day, everyone said they wanted to spar in martial arts, and some took the opportunity to pull down A Mai's pants. The rumors intensified, and A Mai was also very troubled. One day, she was staring blankly at the river, when Xu Xiuer came walking with a washbasin. She had also heard the rumors and suggested that A Mai marry her.
A Mai knew that Xu Xiuer was doing it for her own good but was also afraid of ruining Xu Xiuer's reputation. She took Xu Xiuer's hand and placed it on her own chest, and Xu Xiuer instantly understood that the rumors were true. After just two minutes of hesitation, Xu Xiuer embraced A Mai again, firm in her decision to marry A Mai. A Mai announced to the outside world the news that she was getting married.
Tang Shaoyi knew that A Mai was a woman and worried that this would affect Xu Xiuer's reputation. Xu Xiuer frankly said that the Northern Desert army frequently came to raid now, the people were suffering, and their lives were precarious. Marrying anyone could not guarantee future happiness. A Mai was exceptionally intelligent and handled leading troops with ease. Since she was serving in the army, she had to keep her secret.
Tang Shaoyi was finally relieved to see Xu Xiuer was so open-minded. Finally, A Mai and Xu Xiuer got married. On the wedding day, Shang Yizhi also came to be their witness, and the Military Advisor also came. The scene was very lively, and no one speculated about A Mai's identity as a woman anymore.
