A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 13 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
Xiao Shuo took advantage of the break time to bring his slingshot and look for Yue Chi. Unexpectedly, Huo Jingheng suddenly arrived. He saw Xiao Shuo. In a panic, Yue Chi quickly told Xiao Shuo to leave. When Xiao Shuo left, he accidentally dropped the slingshot. Yue Chi stopped Huo Jingheng, hoping he could listen to his explanation, but before he could even speak, he received the news that Xiao Shuo had been kidnapped.
Finding Xiao Shuo was the top priority. Yue Chi requested Huo Jingheng's help. Huo Jingheng finally softened and brought a large team. He and Jiang Yunqing went out in the rain late at night to search for Xiao Shuo. Jiang Yunqing knew where Xiao Shuo was and deliberately placed the dropped slingshot on the road to guide everyone there. Finally, Huo Jingheng found Xiao Shuo, cut the iron chains binding him, and carried him away on his back.
Yue Chi was very moved by this sight. In front of everyone, he knelt before Huo Jingheng and explained the reason. He guaranteed that Xiao Shuo had no idea of restoration. He just wanted Xiao Shuo to grow up safely like a normal child, and hoped Huo Jingheng would act as if he had never seen Xiao Shuo. Huo Jingheng listened to his words, smiled, shook his head, and left.
After leaving the court, Yue Chi did not go to find Huo Jingheng. Huo Jingheng was very angry and, in a fit of pique, decided to go look for the consorts. However, they were not in their own palaces; everyone was gathered with Consort Yue playing cards. Huo Jingheng had nowhere to go, so he could only go to the Empress Dowager to vent his grievances.
Seeing her son's angry look, the Empress Dowager was amused and annoyed at the same time. However, she trusted Yue Chi, believing that Yue Chi must have his reasons for doing so. Xiao Shuo's kidnapping was deliberate on Yi Qingyun's part. He wanted to use it to sow discord between Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi, and also to test Jiang Yunqing. Jiang Yunqing led the two of them to rescue Xiao Shuo.
Yi Qingyun was very angry because she ruined his plan. It was time for Jiang Yunqing to take the antidote. She went to beg Yi Qingyun, and Yi Qingyun finally gave her the antidote. In fact, Yi Qingyun had long known that Jiang Yunqing was not the real Jiang Yunqing; he just wanted to use her. However, at this time, Jiang Yunqing was no longer as obedient to Yi Qingyun as before.
The Empress Dowager felt unbalanced after losing a lot while playing cards before, and wanted to seize the opportunity to collect some things from the consorts. Huo Jingheng knew what his mother meant, and in order to make her happy, he could only cooperate with her act. They arrived at Fengluan Palace.
Huo Jingheng used the reason that they were gathering to play cards and corrupting the atmosphere to punish the consorts by ordering them to go back and face the wall indefinitely. All gambling money was confiscated. Actually, it all ended up in the Empress Dowager's hands. However, the Empress Dowager favored Ling'er and left all her things untouched. Ling'er knew that Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi had been having a spat recently.
She took the opportunity to cheer up Huo Jingheng, hoping he would reconcile with Yue Chi quickly and stop deliberately avoiding him. Huo Jingheng denied it, but hearing Ling'er say this, he immediately summoned Yue Chi. Coincidentally, Yi Qingyun was requesting an audience at the palace gate. Huo Jingheng knew that the visitor's intentions were not good, so he directly ordered Eunuch Gui to summon Yue Chi to Fengyuan Hall.
When the three met, Yue Chi directly recounted what happened on the day of pursuing the Barbarian King. He had seen Yi Qingyun that day, and he suspected that Yi Qingyun had rescued the Barbarian King, but Yi Qingyun denied it. After Yi Qingyun left, Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi also cleared up their misunderstandings with each other. They both stated that they would not fail or betray each other.
Yi Qingyun's purpose for this visit was to win over Yue Chi, so he catered to his interests by sending Yue Chi many old weapons and blades. Yue Chi could not accept them, but the envoy did not dare to refuse Yi Qingyun directly, so he asked Yue Chi to meet with Yi Qingyun and refuse him personally. Huo Jingheng sent people to secretly monitor Yi Qingyun. Although Yi Qingyun was trying to win favor with Yue Chi, Huo Jingheng believed that Yue Chi could handle it well.
