Fighting for Love Episode 36 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
--- Before, Xu Jing had reminded Shang Yizhi that to prevent her from becoming too powerful, it would be better to eliminate A Mai and find someone else to take over the Zhenbei Army. After much deliberation, Shang Yizhi did not heed Xu Jing's advice. The next day, upon hearing that A Mai was leading the Zhenbei Army all the way towards Shengdu, Shang Yizhi felt some tension in his heart.
A Mai entered the palace alone to meet the Emperor. Mu Bai wanted to persuade her otherwise and stop her, but A Mai's eyes were firm. She directly warned Mu Bai, "If you don't let me through today, tomorrow the city of Shengdu will be awash in blood. " Mu Bai knew A Mai would do as she said and had no choice but to let her pass. A Mai came before Shang Yizhi.
Shang Yizhi dismissed Xu Jing and the surrounding guards, choosing to speak with A Mai alone. Shang Yizhi had not had a moment's peace these past few days. In reality, he had a big secret he hadn't told A Mai. This time, he told A Mai that the last time the late Emperor Qi Jing saw him, he had asked Shang Yizhi if he knew why Han Huaichen had been eliminated.
Han Huaichen's single life was traded for ten years of peace in the south. Now Shang Yizhi understood the late Emperor's madness and began to imitate his despicable methods. Since Beimou feared the Zhenbei Army, Shang Yizhi secretly made a deal with Beimou, foolishly attempting to sacrifice the Zhenbei Army in exchange for ten years of peace in the south. A Mai was completely heartbroken.
Back then, the Zhenbei Army had cleared all obstacles to protect Shang Yizhi back to Shengdu and helped him ascend the throne. Now, Shang Yizhi was heartlessly using the lives of those brothers as bargaining chips, especially since the Beimou wolves were ambitious and utterly untrustworthy. A Mai was extremely angry and despairing.
She immediately declared that she would lead her troops to Jingyang and establish a boundary from now on, following orders but not decrees, and they would never see each other again. Chen Qi received an imperial decree from Beimou ordering him to immediately attack Jingyang City. An imperial decree could not be defied, but the defender of Jingyang City was the sister Chen Qi deeply loved. Late that night, Chen Qi took off the pendant he wore around his neck.
It was shaped like A Mai, revealing that A Mai had never left his heart. At dawn, Chen Qi led his troops to the foot of Jingyang City. He first proposed that A Mai directly confront him. Chen Qi deliberately provoked A Mai. The first few moves were fierce, and he mocked A Mai with his words. Finally, A Mai was about to retaliate, but Chen Qi dropped his sword and willingly let A Mai's sharp blade pierce him.
Before he died, Chen Qi repeated what Prime Minister Lin had told him many years ago. Prime Minister Lin had lied to him, claiming that Han Huaichen had killed his birth parents and that the current Emperor also wanted to eliminate Han Huaichen. As long as he did as instructed, A Mai would be spared, otherwise Prime Minister Lin would send someone else to kill Han Huaichen's entire family, including A Mai.
It was under those circumstances that Chen Qi made his grave mistake. Chen Qi used his own life to save Jingyang City from a bloody storm. Three years later, through A Mai's streamlined governance and strict military discipline, the people within Jingyang City lived prosperous and peaceful lives, enjoying complete harmony. During this period, Shang Yizhi visited Jingyang six times with tribute, sending gold and silver, imperial titles, and writing supplies.
A Mai accepted them all, only allowing the military advisor to enter the city gate, while Shang Yizhi was politely refused entry from within his sedan chair. A Mai invited the military advisor Xu Jing for tea. Although she knew why she had come, A Mai still pretended to be oblivious. Suddenly, a subordinate reported that the main army of Beimou had arrived outside the city gate. A Mai immediately changed into her armor and went to meet them.
Unexpectedly, the person who had arrived was Chang Yuqing. He had come with such a large force simply to see A Mai and ask again if it was possible for her to go to Beimou and become Madam Chang. A Mai was already used to Chang Yuqing's kind of talk and still shook her head.
Chang Yuqing spoke frankly, saying that the young Beimou Emperor was eager to achieve military success and would no longer waste time in this southern region in the coming years, planning to move his campaigns elsewhere. Therefore, the south could enjoy peace for another few years. A Mai smiled and nodded slightly. Their way of meeting was so unique; they met with weapons drawn just for a few words.
Chang Yuqing, still not satisfied, said that he did this also to constantly remind Shang Yizhi never to underestimate A Mai's brilliant military achievements, so that he would feel at ease leaving A Mai in Jingyang. The military advisor reported her inspection results to the Emperor. Shang Yizhi had not seen A Mai for three years and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
However, the military advisor said that this was the best balance; the border was peaceful, and the Emperor could focus on state affairs, which was beneficial for the country. After consolidating Jingyang City's military, A Mai confidently handed over the affairs of the barracks to her several brothers and often rode out alone, acting freely and without constraint. While God closes one door for a person, she also opens another.
A Mai spent her life as a heroine who did not let women be inferior to men. Although she experienced several twists and turns emotionally, she found inner peace. Now that the people in the south were living in peace and harmony, it could be considered the realization of A Mai's dream.
