Fighting for Love Episode 35 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
In prison, Prime Minister Lin continued to sow discord. This time, he told A Mai that Shang Yizhi had secretly plotted with Chen Qi. Chen Qi was the murderer of A Mai's father, and Prime Minister Lin naturally knew that their hatred was irreconcilable. By deliberately tying Shang Yizhi and A Mai together this time, he aimed to create an insurmountable rift between A Mai and Shang Yizhi forever. A Mai went horseback riding outdoors with Tang Shaoyi.
She told him what Prime Minister Lin had told her. Tang Shaoyi warned her that Prime Minister Lin was an old fox and his words should not be fully trusted. The best approach now was to wait and see how things developed. A Mai nodded in agreement. At this time, Shang Yizhi had sent someone to call A Mai back to the palace. Now, A Mai truly held significant power.
Before, she was constrained by Prime Minister Lin everywhere, but now that Shang Yizhi had removed his opponent, she finally tasted the flavor of power. When Shang Yizhi saw A Mai, he joyfully presented her with a golden phoenix coronet. A Mai understood the Emperor's intention and did not accept the gift.
However, Shang Yizhi misunderstood, wondering if A Mai liked Tang Shaoyi or his current harem beauties, and even said that if it was truly about them, he could have them all killed. Before, Shang Yizhi had been in constant self-reproach and fear for days over the death of a single guard, but now he casually spoke of execution. A Mai felt a chill down her spine. She directly told Shang Yizhi that he had changed.
Fearing A Mai would return to Beimou, Shang Yizhi placed her under house arrest in the palace. Soon after, the Beimou army invaded again. The Zhenbei Army only recognized A Mai. Shang Yizhi, left with no choice, released A Mai from the palace again and had her lead troops to the front lines for battle. Seeing herself in military attire once more, A Mai felt this might be her ultimate destiny.
It seemed her relationship with Shang Yizhi had ended here. Fighting on the battlefield could at least protect the city's people from harm. Chang Yuqing suddenly received a secret letter. Seeing that it contained the transit pass he had once given to A Mai, Chang Yuqing thought it must be a letter from A Mai to him. That night, he arrived at the meeting place on time, but he didn't expect that the agreed location was rigged with explosives.
Fortunately, he was agile and ran fast. Chang Yuqing couldn't understand the reason. Based on his understanding of A Mai, she would not rashly try to eliminate him in such an underhanded way, so he quietly hid in the dark to see what would happen. Originally, A Mai and Tang Shaoyi were fighting against Chen Qi together. Chen Qi pretend-sincerely told A Mai to be sensible and surrender. Suddenly, an explosion was heard from within the city behind them.
A Mai thought another unit of Chen Qi's army was harming the people in the city, so she handed the command here to Tang Shaoyi and took some troops back to protect the city gate. As A Mai went further and further, she discovered more suspicious things. In fact, the explosion was at the location where Chang Yuqing was framed.
A Mai came to the dilapidated granary and found that it had been carefully arranged, with dry flour scattered everywhere, which could ignite in the air with just a slight spark. Chang Yuqing walked out from the dark and asked A Mai if she had given the transit pass to someone else, as he himself had nearly lost his life because of that ring.
A Mai suddenly realized what was happening and immediately turned her horse around to save Tang Shaoyi. They had fallen into a trap! Shang Yizhi and Chen Qi had indeed colluded with each other, deliberately using the tactic of "luring the tiger out of its mountain lair" to make Tang Shaoyi's army wait endlessly for reinforcements before being completely wiped out.
Seeing her closest person framed, A Mai returned to find Tang Shaoyi lying motionless in a pool of blood, her heart wrenched with pain. She personally escorted Tang Shaoyi's coffin back to the camp. --- On one hand, Shang Yizhi appointed A Mai to the important position of Commander of the Zhenbei Army, but on the other hand, he worried that A Mai would grow too powerful one day and become a threat to him. Hearing that A Mai was leading troops all the way towards Shengdu, and even bringing Qiyu with her, Shang Yizhi still remained sleepless throughout the night, fearing that A Mai's cavalry would rebel.
