Go Princess, Go! Episode 30 Recap
> Go Princess, Go! Recap
Even after Yang Yu's severe interrogation, the black-clad assassins who attempted to assassinate Qi Sheng did not reveal their mastermind. Qi Sheng greatly respected those loyal guards and did not make things difficult for them. Both he and Yang Yu knew that the mastermind behind this incident was the Ninth Prince. Qi Sheng directly stated that he had not expected the Ninth Prince to commit regicide.
The Ninth Prince expressed that being born into the imperial family, he had no control over his own destiny. Qi Sheng advised him not to strive for things that were not meant for him. The Ninth Prince told Qi Sheng that everything he did was for Zhang Pengpeng, because he saw that Zhang Pengpeng was neither happy nor stable in her position as empress. Qi Sheng was very angry after hearing this.
Qi Sheng had the Ninth Prince detained to await punishment. Zhang Pengpeng told Yang Yan that the previous Censorate case was also instigated by Qi Sheng, and that Qi Sheng had long known about the plans of several people in their alliance. Yang Yan was at a loss. Zhang Pengpeng told Yang Yan that they could only run away now, and she made up a story to trick Yang Yan, who believed it to be true.
Zhang Pengpeng worried that the assassins sent by the Ninth Prince had already taken action, which would lead to a dire outcome. Yang Yan notified the Ninth Prince overnight, but he did not know it was already too late. Qi Sheng knew that the Ninth Prince's assassination attempt on him was inextricably linked to the empress. He had long wanted to depose the empress, but he could never bring himself to be cruel to Zhang Pengpeng.
Qi Sheng wrote two letters. The first letter was sent to the Grand Empress Dowager, falsely claiming that he had been poisoned in an assassination attempt and urgently needed an antidote to be developed in the palace and sent to the front lines. The second letter was for Zhang Pengpeng. The consorts were strolling in the garden when Huang Liangyuan suddenly fainted. Physician Zhang came to diagnose her, but Huang Liangyuan ordered him not to publicize it.
The Grand Empress Dowager summoned Zhang Pengpeng and told her about Qi Sheng's poisoning mentioned in the letter. Zhang Pengpeng was extremely anxious and sad upon hearing this. Physician Zhang reported to Zhang Pengpeng late at night, saying that he had discovered Huang Liangyuan was more than two months pregnant, while Qi Sheng had already departed for the expedition three months ago. Zhang Pengpeng barged into Huang Liangyuan's palace.
She was having an affair and was exposed by Zhang Pengpeng on the spot. Zhang Pengpeng slapped Huang Liangyuan on the spot, executed her paramour, and demoted Huang Liangyuan to a commoner, exiling her to Lingnan. Zhang Pengpeng worried that Qi Sheng would soon die from poisoning. She decided to take Lv Li with her to deliver the antidote. She was very worried that she would cause Qi Sheng's death.
Lv Li reminded Zhang Pengpeng that the matter might not be simple. The Grand Empress Dowager saw Zhang Pengpeng off, hoping that Qi Sheng and Pengpeng would return safely. To avoid delay, Zhang Pengpeng decided to abandon the carriage and ride a horse to Beimo. Yang Yan took away the sleeping Zhang Pengpeng under the cover of darkness.
