Fighting for Love Episode 30 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
The Emperor continuously burned paper money in the palace. He observed quietly, thinking everything was within his control. To pave a smooth path for Qi Yu, he ruthlessly eliminated his own sister and even his own son. As a mortal, how could he not feel heartache? But one wrong step led to many. In the final moments of his life, he only wanted to protect the child he uniquely cherished.
At least Qi Yu was innocent and had once brought him great joy. Shang Yizhi received an imperial decree, ordering him to lead the Qingyu army to the palace to rescue the Emperor. Shang Yizhi was very puzzled, not knowing what the Emperor was up to. He could only accept the decree and observe the situation quietly. The Emperor ordered Shang Yizhi to come see him. He felt very guilty about the death of the Eldest Princess.
To give Qi Yu a way out, he had to indulge Prince Kang, and he felt remorse towards Shang Yizhi, even saying he would pass the throne to him. Afterwards, the Emperor also summoned A Mai for an audience, frankly admitting that he knew Shang Yizhi's identity and had always been cautious, but seeing that A Mai was sincerely teaching Qi Yu, he felt relieved.
He hoped that A Mai could protect Qi Yu well, even though he knew Qi Yu was not of imperial bloodline. A Mai asked the Emperor why he had annihilated her entire family back then. The Emperor shook his head, saying he wasn't entirely clear on the reason either, but A Mai's family held too much military power, which was a threat to keep, so he issued the order. Then the Emperor drank poisoned wine himself.
In his dying moments, he boasted that only he could kill himself. Shang Yizhi inherited the throne. General Shi, who had previously served the former Emperor and secretly committed many misdeeds, after performing one last duty by killing the eunuch, knew he could not escape his fate. Mu Bai came with an imperial decree to ask General Shi for his decision.
General Shi was unwilling to follow the new Emperor, so Shang Yizhi permitted him to retire and return to his hometown. General Shi initially thought Mu Bai would assassinate him from behind, but to his surprise, Mu Bai made no move all the way to the palace gate.
Out of kindness, General Shi advised Mu Bai that the new Emperor was young and still benevolent, hoping he could uphold his original intentions years later, and also said it was a great fortune that he himself could leave unscathed. Mu Bai replied that he was different from him. The new Emperor had ascended the throne. Soon it would be the day the Eldest Princess had agreed upon for establishing the Empress.
Prime Minister Lin pondered before and after, instructing Lin Zerou to be very careful of A Mai, but assured her that as long as he was in court, Lin Zerou's position as Empress would naturally be secure. Lin Zerou had previously thought A Mai was just a general. Hearing her father speak about A Mai and Shang Yizhi's relationship, she specifically went to the military camp to observe A Mai.
She saw A Mai personally handle everything, doing the same things as her subordinates, and riding horses and fighting were completely effortless for her. Prime Minister Lin called out to A Mai, and the two of them could be considered to have met. Shang Yizhi was considering breaking off the engagement. The strategist strongly advised against it, stating that Prime Minister Lin's influence in court was at its peak, and abruptly breaking off the engagement would surely create complications.
But Shang Yizhi refused to marry Lin Zerou. He had ridden south with the cavalry precisely to protect his beloved, and now that he had ascended the throne, he absolutely could not abandon A Mai. The strategist knew Shang Yizhi was right, but still advised him not to be impulsive. Now the Northern Desert was still stirring restlessly at the border. Shang Yizhi wanted to personally lead the expedition.
A Mai strongly advised against it, saying she was willing to do the fighting, only wishing that Shang Yizhi could be safe and sound. Shang Yizhi immediately issued an imperial decree appointing A Mai as the Marshal of the Zhenbei Army, which was equivalent to handing over all military power to A Mai. Prime Minister Lin would not let Shang Yizhi have his way.
He fabricated numerous charges, claiming that A Mai was colluding with the Northern Desert and harboring malicious intentions. She was immediately imprisoned. Shang Yizhi was not yet aware of this, but the Minister of War, Du Changying, preemptively announced the decree. When Shang Yizhi heard his subordinate report that A Mai had been imprisoned for colluding with the Northern Desert in treason, he immediately knew there was foul play. Soon after, Prime Minister Lin arrived belatedly, claiming that A Mai had already signed and fingerprinted the confession regarding her collusion with the Northern Desert.
