> Resumos de Pursuit of Jade
Xie Zheng was drugged with Softening the Hard and Bone-Softening Powder in the palace. While returning to the manor by carriage, he was semi-conscious and clung only to Fan Changyu, refusing to let go. Xie Wu suggested finding a doctor, but Jin Yuanbao stated that a doctor could not cure this ailment; it could only be resolved by a woman. In the bath, Xie Zheng clung to Fan Changyu and kissed her incessantly.
Fan Changyu also suggested finding a doctor, but Xie Zheng held her back. Worried that he was too delirious to know who she was, Fan Changyu specifically asked him, and Xie Zheng clearly called out her name. The imperial doctor outside left, and Jin Yuanbao and the others also departed to avoid disturbing them. Qi Min was the one who ordered the fire. Upon learning that Qi Sheng had been slapped by Wei Yan, he could not help but smile.
The Tiger Seal stolen by Yu Qianqian was also a plot by Qi Min; he deliberately used her to deliver the Tiger Seal to Fan Changyu to lead her to the truth and pit Xie Zheng against Wei Yan. Qi Shu woke up to find Gongsun Yin by her side, who had cared for her all night. She hugged him emotionally, thinking she would never see him again. The previous night, Xie Zheng dreamed of his long-missed mother.
The next day, Fan Changyu also had a dream where she saw Wei Qilin asking Lord Changxin for help with a Tiger Seal, only to be told it was a fake. Jin Yuanbao handed the items brought by the maid to Fan Changyu, but the maid had already breathed her last at the gate of the General's Manor. Fan Changyu opened the letter from Yu Qianqian and found the Tiger Seal.
Shortly after, a servant reported that Shi Sanniang wanted to see her. Shi Sanniang brought Sui Yuanqing's head and another Tiger Seal. Fan Changyu did not make things difficult for her; she only took the Tiger Seal and allowed Shi Sanniang to take the head away to leave his body intact. Qi Min told Yu Qianqian that the maid had already delivered the Tiger Seal. Yu Qianqian then realized she had been used.
She would rather die than stay with Qi Min and was chained by him. Xie Zheng promised Fan Changyu that he would gather all the commanders of the Xie Army to seek justice for Wei Qilin and Xie Linshan. Fan Changyu also determined to clear her father's name by beating the Drum of Appeal and presenting a grievance before Your Majesty. However, the rules required her to be paraded through the streets to face public criticism first.
When the people learned Fan Changyu was Wei Qilin's daughter, their attitude changed drastically. They ferociously threw vegetable leaves at her, a world of difference from when she first entered the capital. After the parade, Fan Changyu struck the Drum of Appeal to present a grievance before Your Majesty and appeal her father's case. Qi Sheng was startled and flustered by the sound of the Drum of Appeal, pacing back and forth in fear of attending court.
Qi Shu urged him to go and hear the people's grievances, asking if he wanted to be a puppet emperor forever. Her words finally gave the cowardly emperor a moment of backbone. Meanwhile, Xie Zheng remembered the osmanthus cakes from his dream. He opened the cake box and found a letter written by Consort Shu Qi Rongyin to Wei Yan.
This letter proved that Wei Yan returned to the capital after seeing her plea, abandoning the soldiers in Jinzhou and causing the Jinzhou tragedy. As Fan Changyu and Wei Yan confronted each other in court, Xie Zheng entered and presented the letter to prove that Wei Yan was a thief crying "stop thief." Those in the court did not yet know that Li Xing and Qi Min had already led men to seize control of the palace gates.
Li Xing had told the Bureau of Astronomy that the turmoil in the Great Yin Dynasty was due to the disorder of the imperial bloodline. Qi Min was of the legitimate imperial bloodline, and his accession as the new emperor to replace Qi Sheng would surely be what the people desired.
