One and Only Episode 6 Recap
> One and Only Recap
Zhou Shengchen asked Xiao Yan and Feng Qiao to spar. Xiao Yan also decided to play the role of a martial monk for once. He stepped forward and sparred with Feng Qiao. As expected, Feng Qiao lost to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan mentioned the battle with Zhou Shengchen at the Huai River and asked Zhou Shengchen to spar with him. Zhou Shengchen agreed. The two sparred bare-handed on the stage, and Zhou Shengchen won against Xiao Yan.
Zhou Shengchen took several of his disciples and Shiyi to the chosen site for the new temple. Shiyi named the new temple Qinglong Temple. Zhou Shengchen asked about the origin of the name. He learned that after Shiyi's father left many years ago, Shiyi's mother told her that her father had become a monk at Qinglong Temple. However, Shiyi had searched many places over the years but had never found a temple called Qinglong Temple.
Upon returning, Xie Chong informed Zhou Shengchen about the situation in the tent. Liu Zixing had been waiting for Zhou Shengchen for a long time. He had also brought four guards with him. Zhou Shengchen entered the tent. After exchanging a couple of casual remarks, Liu Zixing stated that he wanted to question Xiao Yan together. Zhou Shengchen then took the opportunity to dismiss the four guards from the main tent and asked Feng Qiao to bring Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan entered the tent and saw Zhou Shengchen and Liu Zixing. He explained the reason for his arrival in Bei Chen. His mother was a concubine from the previous dynasty, and she entered the Nanxiao harem only after the country was defeated. Emperor Nanxiao had always suspected he was the posthumous son of the previous dynasty's emperor, and all of this was true. That was why he arranged this escape to Bei Chen.
After dealing with Xiao Yan's matter, Zhou Shengchen asked about Liu Zixing's intentions. Just now, Liu Zixing had used his help to dismiss the four guards from the camp tent. Liu Zixing explained the situation in the court. He pleaded with Zhou Shengchen to lead troops into the palace to rescue the Emperor. After learning about this, Zhou Shengchen asked Liu Zixing to return to the palace first. He discussed the matter with Xie Chong.
Although he was willing to rescue the Emperor, he could not make a move openly. Therefore, he had to find a highly respected person to step forward and counterbalance Zhao Teng. This person was very difficult to choose. Shiyi mentioned Cui Guang and wanted to go back with Cui Feng to persuade Cui Guang to step forward and help Zhou Shengchen. Zhou Shengchen agreed to what Shiyi requested.
However, seeing Shiyi leave Xizhou for the first time in many years, Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but feel a little worried. Feng Qiao started talking with Xiao Yan and learned about his hardships. Feng Qiao couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Xiao Yan. Afterwards, Zhou Shengchen came and ordered Feng Qiao to gather 30,000 soldiers to escort Xiao Yan to the capital tomorrow. Feng Qiao took the order and left. However, Zhou Tianxing secretly pulled Feng Qiao aside.
The two of them listened to the conversation between Xiao Yan and Zhou Shengchen from beside the tent. Xiao Yan knew that Zhou Shengchen wanted to use him as an excuse to deploy heavy troops to Zhongzhou. He thought Zhou Shengchen was planning a rebellion. Zhou Shengchen confessed that he was not trying to rebel. He mentioned the son and daughter that Xiao Yan had hidden in the temple.
The two of them had already been found by Emperor Xiao and granted death, but Emperor Xiao later regretted it and gave them a grand burial. This hatred was irreconcilable for Xiao Yan. Zhou Shengchen claimed he had a way to save Xiao Yan's life, but Xiao Yan had to do as he said. He indeed had important matters for deploying Xiao Yan to Zhongzhou on this trip. Shiyi and Cui Feng returned to Qinghe Commandery.
The two had originally brought a secret letter from Zhou Shengchen. But upon seeing Cui Guang, they learned that Cui Guang was already seriously ill. He had spent a lot of energy in court over the years to counterbalance Liu Yuan and Zhao Teng. This time, he summoned the Cui clan disciples back to ensure their safety. Shiyi discussed Zhou Shengchen's plan with her mother, Cui Wenjun. He was preparing to clear the Emperor's surroundings and rectify the court.
However, the court needed Cui Guang to step forward and stabilize the situation. Cui Guang knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and decided to depart for Zhongzhou tomorrow. Cui Feng personally attended to Cui Guang. Cui Guang spoke of his difficult life. He was destitute in his youth and later became the Grand Tutor relying on his talent and learning, bringing glory to the Cui family.
But now he was old, and the Cui family would rely on the younger generation like Cui Feng from now on. Xiaoyu came to the Cui mansion. Seeing Cui Feng's expression, she couldn't help but feel a surge of worry in her heart. Shiyi conversed with her mother, Cui Wenjun. Cui Wenjun asked Shiyi why her manners were rusty. Only then did she learn that her daughter was not bound by etiquette restrictions in the Nanchen Royal Mansion. She couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the common people's evaluation of Junior Prince of Nanchen as unruly and unrestrained was indeed true.
