King is Not Easy Episode 5 Recap
> King is Not Easy Recap
Facing Shao Yong's sudden fall, Da Xi rushed over recklessly. Halfway there, the guards suddenly burst into laughter. Da Xi stopped. Shao Yong got up and severely reprimanded the guards, then turned and apologized to Da Xi. In Da Xi's heart, Shao Yong even looked handsome while scolding his subordinates. Unable to control herself for a moment, she took out a handkerchief to wipe Shao Yong's sweat and even took the opportunity to pounce on him.
Shao Yong was so frightened that he fled, stumbling and crawling. The flustered Shao Yong ran into a general and requested annual leave from him, using the excuse of going home for a blind date. Early the next morning, Da Xi deliberately wore sportswear and came to the training ground, but she couldn't find Master Shao Yong. A guard told Da Xi that Shao Yong had taken annual leave to go home and get married.
Upon hearing this, Da Xi despairingly dismissed the guards. She sat alone on the training ground, letting the rain beat down on her. The King saw that Da Xi hadn't returned all night, and quickly told Shen Jia to go look for her. As soon as Shen Jia left, Da Xi, soaking wet, returned. She fainted as soon as she entered the door. The guards quickly called for the imperial physician. At this moment, the Empress Dowager felt uneasy.
A maid reported that the King had fainted. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager rushed to see the King, seeing her son unconscious in bed. The Empress Dowager slapped Shen Jia hard and blamed him for not taking good care of the King. The King, standing nearby, greeted the Empress Dowager and then told her that, for the King's condition, he requested her to come to Longde Palace. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face darkened with rage.
She wanted to say something but swallowed her words, instructing Da Xi to serve the King well, otherwise she would be held accountable. After the Empress Dowager left, the King stayed by Da Xi's bedside all night. He fell asleep without realizing it. When Da Xi woke up in the middle of the night, looking at the King by the bed, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and sadness.
Then she put on her clothes and walked towards the Empress Dowager's bedchamber. The Empress Dowager returned to her bedchamber, unable to sleep. She played the zither all night. Seeing her son arrive, she felt an inexplicable emotion. But after Da Xi saw the Empress Dowager, she turned to leave. The Empress Dowager quickly stopped her, intending to tell him (the King) everything that had happened in the past few years.
It turned out that after the late King passed away, the regent was ambitious, contacting ministers everywhere, wanting to seize power. At that time, the King was still young and naive. The Empress Dowager knew that the regent would certainly not spare the King. To protect the King, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to humble herself and approach the regent. She even went so far as to sell her own body.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager also hosted a banquet to get the regent drunk. From his mouth, she extracted information about his trusted aides and eliminated them one by one.
