Fighting for Love Episode 31 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
Shang Yizhi saw A Mai's personal signature and seal, and immediately understood the general situation. How could A Mai possibly collude with the Northern Desert generals? He looked at the strategist, and the strategist nodded slightly at him and explained: As long as the Emperor gets married, he can grant a general amnesty to the world. Prime Minister Lin knelt and begged that the day of ascension to the throne would also be the day of the wedding.
Since the overall situation was decided, in order for A Mai to survive, Shang Yizhi had to agree to make the daughter of Prime Minister Lin the Empress. In the prison, A Mai was locked in the cell next to Chang Yuqing. Chang Yuqing often talked to A Mai, asking if someone had been constantly pressing them about whether they had colluded with the enemy, and if Shang Yizhi was behind it.
A Mai understood very well that Shang Yizhi absolutely would not do anything to harm her. The next day was the Emperor's wedding day. Lin Zerou married under imperial decree. The strategist Xu Jing specifically brought Chang Yuqing out of the prison and reminded him that the Northern Desert army was nearby. As long as he agreed not to attack the city, they would release him. After confirming that A Mai's life was not in danger, Chang Yuqing happily agreed.
In the evening, Prime Minister Lin brought some food and wine to entertain A Mai. She originally thought it was the last meal before execution. When A Mai heard Prime Minister Lin call it Shang Yizhi's wedding day, her eyes instantly turned red. Drinking the last meal before execution didn't make her this sad, but Prime Minister Lin's words were truly heart-wrenching.
A Mai walked out of the dungeon heartbroken onto the market street, bought a pot of wine, and drowned her sorrows in drink. Chang Yuqing was not far away, watching A Mai cry sorrowfully. Late at night in the dew, A Mai got drunk and lay down directly on the spot. Scenes from the past clearly floated before her eyes, regretting only that Shang Yizhi had ultimately failed her.
At dawn, A Mai went to see the Emperor, only hoping that he could give her one thing. Shang Yizhi immediately granted permission. A Mai proposed returning to the Sheng manor. Shang Yizhi was very surprised, as that place was once a painful place for A Mai, but seeing A Mai's determined eyes, he no longer pressed her.
Shang Yizhi wanted to explain what had happened recently, but A Mai directly bowed and withdrew, not giving Shang Yizhi a chance to explain at all. Back at the Sheng manor, this was the place where she grew up. Her parents were by her side before, but on that rainy night, her entire family was wiped out except for her, the only survivor. Although the former Emperor had passed away, A Mai still felt very empty.
At this moment, she thought of Chen Qi, and there was still a father's killer to be eliminated. A Mai wanted to return to the Northern Desert to kill Chen Qi. She galloped back to the military camp. Her former brothers gathered around her, asking about her well-being. Everyone still maintained their former enthusiasm, even though they had heard some rumors about A Mai colluding with the enemy.
A Mai reassured everyone that she needed to handle some matters and would return in a few days to go to the front line together. After drinking heartily with the soldiers, A Mai rode her horse to see Chang Yuqing. She was going to the Northern Desert to kill Chen Qi, but Shang Yizhi quickly brought troops on horseback to pursue her.
Shang Yizhi knew the reason why A Mai always wanted to return to the Northern Desert, but he did not agree to A Mai leaving here. The large army had surrounded Chang Yuqing and A Mai. The Emperor insisted that A Mai return with him, otherwise he would kill Chang Yuqing. A Mai had no choice but to agree. The next day at the morning court, Shang Yizhi immediately revealed A Mai's true identity as the daughter of Han Huaicheng.
All the officials in the Ministry of Revenue were promoted by Prime Minister Lin, so naturally, they listened to Prime Minister Lin in everything. Hearing Prime Minister Lin question a woman joining the army, they all began to express their opinions, stating that a woman joining the army did not comply with national laws and demanded military punishment. Besides Prime Minister Lin, there was also the strategist Xu Jing in the court. Xu Jing naturally knew the proper measure.
He argued strongly for reason, and finally, the crowd no longer rejected the Emperor's decision to return the Sheng manor to A Mai. Deep into the night, Prime Minister Lin pondered in his manor over every step of the chess game he had meticulously planned. First, he used Chen Qi to eliminate loyal officials in the court, and then had Chen Qi infiltrate the Northern Desert army as a spy to help him gather enemy intelligence.
The reason why Chen Qi killed his adoptive father was because Prime Minister Lin told him that it was Han Huaicheng who had colluded with the Northern Desert army and killed Chen Qi's parents. Such vicious schemes all originated from the hands of the old man, Prime Minister Lin.
