Fighting for Love Episode 33 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
Since Qi Jing passed away, he had been living in the East Palace. This was a ticking time bomb for strategist Xu Jing. When seeking an audience with the Emperor, she had to be extremely careful everywhere. As long as Qi Jing was around, there would be endless hidden dangers. Shang Yizhi naturally understood this logic. Although he didn't explicitly agree, Xu Jing was already secretly taking action.
Previously, Marquis Zhongyong, a trusted general close to the Crown Prince, knew that Shang Yizhi had taken Qi Jing's position. He sought an audience outside the East Palace every day, hoping Qi Jing would revolt according to his wishes. Qi Jing saw Marquis Zhongyong regularly outside the palace gates and had a subordinate give him a bowl of fish soup from his side, advising the minister not to harbor rebellious intentions anymore.
After drinking that bowl of fish soup, Marquis Zhongyong immediately fell to the ground and died. The people in the East Palace were greatly surprised. If it hadn't been Marquis Zhongyong, the one drinking the soup would have been the Crown Prince! Prime Minister Lin heard about this and quickly thought of a plan. Now Qi Jing was his last prized treasure.
Worried that someone might harm Qi Jing and ruin his important plan, he immediately sent his wife into the palace, using the excuse of visiting their daughter to abduct Qi Jing. Shang Yizhi had just heard that the East Palace was poisoned. He confirmed it was done by the strategist Xu Jing and did not reprimand her much. However, shortly after, Qi Jing disappeared, which startled Shang Yizhi's heart.
This matter was definitely not done by Xu Jing; it must have been Prime Minister Lin. Both cunning old men had their own tricks. A Mai heard that Qi Jing had disappeared and immediately led troops to search for him. Qi Jing was first settled outside the palace to avoid attention, and then quietly moved to his old residence. A Mai realized it was done by Prime Minister Lin.
After thinking it over, she ordered her subordinates to search for Qi Jing with great fanfare. The grander the search, the safer Qi Jing would be. Fortunately, although Qi Jing was in a dangerous situation, he remained calm and composed. He even encouraged the palace attendants around him not to be nervous, assuring them that A Mai would find him soon. Lin Zerou had a premonition that her father was about to make a big move.
She immediately sent her maid back to her maternal home to investigate the reason. After confirming that Qi Jing was held in her own house, she returned that night to see Qi Jing and asked if he was willing to go back to the palace with her. Qi Jing shook his head. He claimed that Master A Mai would find him soon and worried that following the Empress would bring trouble to the Empress.
Qi Jing's kindness moved Lin Zerou's heart to compassion. She privately sought out Prime Minister Lin and asked about his ultimate goal. Hearing that her father wanted to use Qi Jing to "hold the Son of Heaven hostage to command the feudal lords," she immediately knelt before her father, hoping he could delay as much as possible.
Now Lin Zerou was the rightful Empress, still in the newlywed phase, and naturally wanted to stay by Shang Yizhi's side for a long time. Prime Minister Lin listened to his daughter's plea. Finally, A Mai found Qi Jing and successfully rescued him. Just as she was about to leave the Lin residence, she suddenly saw Shang Yizhi's subordinates arriving with troops. A Mai reminded the other party that keeping Qi Jing by her side was the safest option.
