Fighting for Love Episode 26 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
Eldest Princess Shenghua took Shang Yizhi to offer incense. At the temple, they happened to meet Prime Minister Lin. Prime Minister Lin was the Emperor's confidant and considered a key minister of the court. This time, he had deliberately brought his daughter Lin Zerou with him. Eldest Princess Shenghua understood a few things upon seeing this. She asked Shang Yizhi to accompany Lin Zerou for a stroll while she had a talk with Prime Minister Lin in the tea room.
Eldest Princess Shenghua hinted to Prime Minister Lin whether he still wanted to reheat the cold rice of the Crown Prince, suggesting instead he should see if her son Yizhi could catch his eye. Eldest Princess Shenghua's intention was very clear, but Prime Minister Lin demurred, saying his old eyes were dim and couldn't clearly see who the imperial successor was, but his daughter Lin Zerou was clever and sensible and saw more clearly than he did.
Prince Kang quickly made his move against the Eastern Palace, having his informant placed in the Eastern Palace trick the imperial grandson into leaving and hiding him in a quiet place. He then sent a message to the Crown Prince, stating that if the Crown Prince did not hand over the seal, the imperial grandson's life would be in danger. The Crown Prince knew the difficulty of this matter and that he could not alarm the Emperor now.
He could only rush to the Sheng manor overnight and entrust A Mai and Shang Yizhi to definitely rescue Qi Yu. Shang Yizhi and A Mai searched together for Qi Yu's whereabouts. The Crown Prince also went to Prince Kang's residence to see Prince Kang, trying to buy A Mai more time. Prince Kang took out the prepared letter and forced the Crown Prince to hand over the seal.
He specifically stated that he had already investigated and found that Qi Yu was not the Crown Prince's biological son. The Eastern Palace's current position was due to Qi Yu being born earlier than Prince Kang's child. Prince Kang presented several letters with clear details. Prince Kang used this as a threat, implying that since Qi Yu's identity was false, the Emperor would naturally not care.
The Crown Prince was extremely indignant and directly called Prince Kang by his personal name, stating that now that Qi Yu's identity was false, he would be even less likely to sign over these seals. He even said he was eager for Qi Min to quickly execute Qi Yu, so that when reported to the Emperor, it would add another crime to Qi Min's record.
Prince Kang was greatly alarmed; the Crown Prince's words were like pulling the rug out from under him, putting him in a difficult position. A Mai quickly found the whereabouts of the imperial grandson and immediately led heavy troops to rescue him. The Crown Prince was on pins and needles at Prince Kang's residence. Prince Kang kept pressuring the Crown Prince. Fortunately, at the critical moment, news arrived that A Mai had rescued Qi Yu.
The Crown Prince finally felt relieved. Qi Yu's identity was mysterious, and the Crown Prince had made full preparations before coming. Hearing that the child was finally saved, he quietly took poison. A father dying for his son was nothing unusual, and when it reached the Emperor's ears, he would no longer doubt Qi Yu's identity, but would only detest Prince Kang more.
As expected, when the Emperor heard that the Crown Prince had been poisoned to death at Prince Kang's residence, he suffered a stroke due to excessive anger and grief. Prime Minister Lin saw the Emperor collapse to the ground, unable to move, and immediately realized the court was about to change.
Undaunted in the face of danger, he instructed the eunuchs by his side to call for imperial physicians to take good care of the Emperor, and then he began to act. Prince Kang saw the situation and wanted to win over Prime Minister Lin, immediately proposing to take him as his teacher. Prince Kang's foolishness did not impress Prime Minister Lin. Prime Minister Lin had initially been the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor.
At this critical juncture, Prime Minister Lin quietly went to the Sheng manor. Eldest Princess Shenghua promised that his daughter Lin Zerou would become Empress and that he would determine the composition of the Ministry of Revenue. Prime Minister Lin thus betrayed the Crown Prince and began secretly assisting Shang Yizhi in plotting rebellion.
