Fighting for Love Episode 25 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
Prince Kang's strategists advised their master. Now the Crown Prince's son is very much loved by the Emperor, A Mai has become the young tutor of the imperial grandson, and the Qingyu army has been brought under the Crown Prince's command. This is very unfavorable to them. Therefore, they want to create something out of nothing to make the Emperor suspicious of the Crown Prince. As expected, the next day, the Emperor summoned the Crown Prince into the palace.
In front of Prince Kang, he rebuked the Crown Prince for harboring malicious intentions and ordered him not to leave before the matter was thoroughly investigated. Eldest Princess received the news and quickly sent the message of the Crown Prince's house arrest to Yuzhou City. Xu Jing saw the Eastern Palace's setback and realized that Shang Yizhi might be implicated next.
She immediately told Tang Shaoyi to prepare, saying they could march on the imperial city under the guise of suppressing bandits. Tang Shaoyi hesitated slightly, but Xu Jing solemnly told him that if they did not go to the imperial palace, Shang Yizhi would surely die. Prince Kang, having designed the scheme to trip up the Crown Prince, immediately went to Shang Yizhi at the Marquis Dingnan's residence, still hoping Shang Yizhi would defect to him.
Prince Kang stated very clearly that whatever benefits the Crown Prince promised Shang Yizhi, he would fulfill, and even if not now, he would compensate him in the future. Seeing Shang Yizhi hesitate slightly, he immediately asked if his recent attempts to check the military roster at the Ministry of War had been repeatedly unsuccessful. At this, Shang Yizhi finally understood who had been obstructing him in the past few days.
Prince Kang gave Shang Yizhi a jade pendant, telling him to find someone at the Ministry of War. This jade pendant could be considered an initial olive branch. With the jade pendant, Shang Yizhi successfully entered the archives. However, the first roster A Mai obtained was that of Prince Kang's army. Thus, the informant at the archives quickly reported this detail to the Crown Prince.
He had already heard about Prince Kang trying to win over Shang Yizhi at the Sheng manor. Originally, he thought Shang Yizhi must have been bribed by Prince Kang. Upon hearing that A Mai first checked Prince Kang's roster, he felt that Shang Yizhi's intentions were still with him, so he did not give up on Shang Yizhi.
The Crown Prince ordered the informant to keep a close eye on them to see what A Mai and the others were investigating. The strategist Xu Jing had already arrived at the Sheng manor. The two of them talked about A Mai. Eldest Princess greatly admired A Mai's spirit and courage and tacitly approved of this potential marriage. However, as Xu Jing further revealed A Mai's background, the Eldest Princess's face changed drastically.
Shang Yizhi had told her that A Mai was an orphan girl, but Xu Jing informed her that A Mai was actually the daughter of Duke Sheng, Han Maisui. The Eldest Princess murmured that it was truly karmic retribution. The Crown Prince went to find A Mai and Shang Yizhi. Hearing that they were looking for the Xuanwu Army, he immediately provided a clue.
There was once a Xuanwu Army soldier with a scar on his face who disappeared after going out on a mission. Strangely, the archives also did not have an entry for this person named Lao Qi. With this clue from the Crown Prince, A Mai was very excited. She was soon to find the enemy who killed her father! That night, A Mai, on a whim, drank freely with Shang Yizhi. Their laughter reached the Eldest Princess's chambers.
Late at night, the Eldest Princess called Shang Yizhi into the room and told him what had happened back then. The person who killed A Mai's parents was Duke Sheng, who was Shang Yizhi's father! With A Mai's intelligence and sharpness, she would surely uncover the truth quickly. Shang Yizhi asked the Eldest Princess to help him conceal it.
Early the next morning, Shang Yizhi forged a letter claiming that the person named Lao Qi was setting up a stall in the Southern Market. Excited, A Mai went there with Shang Yizhi. The people setting up stalls nearby claimed that Lao Qi had been bitten to death by a snake. Shang Yizhi thought that A Mai would give up at this point.
Unexpectedly, A Mai did not give up searching for clues and was even preparing to look for Lao Qi's children. Shang Yizhi was very nervous, but he could do nothing about it. Although the Emperor was suspicious, he dearly loved the imperial grandson. The Crown Prince had guided him well; although young, the imperial grandson possessed the Emperor's intelligence and imperial bearing from his youth.
The Emperor learned from the imperial grandson that it was the grandson who had pleaded with his father to let A Mai become his Grand Tutor, and that no matter how the Emperor might punish the Eastern Palace in the future, the imperial grandson would share the burden. The Emperor relaxed his vigilance and naturally lifted the house arrest on the Eastern Palace. He also ordered Prince Kang to immediately go to his fiefdom to assume office.
