A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 15 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
Huo Jingheng secretly went to General Gu's residence to see him off one last time, but was recognized by the son, who believed he was the murderer of his father and drew his sword. Yue Chi, who arrived in time, stopped him. Yue Chi stated that General Gu had died by his hand. Later, General Gu's wife appeared, stopped her son, and closed the door after saying that it was inconvenient to receive visitors today.
As a convicted minister, the funeral could only be held quietly. Yue Chi arranged for his subordinates to see General Gu off. They carried General Gu's coffin, giving him a final dignity. Yue Chi was heartbroken, recalling Huo Jingheng's words, knowing the difficulty in his heart, but as the ruler of a nation, one must learn to make sacrifices.
Ling'er knew her brother and Huo Jingheng had a conflict and was very anxious, so she wanted to actively bring them together to reconcile. However, she felt somewhat powerless. At this time, she could only ask Du Tianzhao for help. Du Tianzhao felt that the Empress Dowager's help was needed at this moment. The Empress Dowager summoned Yue Chi to the palace. She told Yue Chi about Huo Jingheng's father.
Back then, Huo Jingheng's father was a prefect and also encountered a disaster. The court's relief grain was supposed to arrive soon, but something went wrong with the grain, and it was all soaked in water. Huo Jingheng's father had no choice but to lead people to seize military grain to feed the people. When the matter was exposed, the prefect was arrested. Huo Jingheng wanted to save his father, but his father stopped him.
He told Huo Jingheng that when he did this, he already knew the outcome and acted with the determination to die, so he had no regrets. Later, in prison, Huo Jingheng's father received a letter carried by a messenger pigeon from his advisor, learning that the disaster was under control. He felt his long-cherished wish was fulfilled and committed suicide in prison. Huo Jingheng's father left his son a token engraved with the character '衡' (Heng), secretly hiding a dagger.
He told Huo Jingheng that only those who can save the people can be called heroes. Huo Jingheng always remembered this sentence. Yue Chi did not expect Huo Jingheng to have such a story. He returned to his residence, holding that token and thinking about Huo Jingheng's words, and began to blame himself. He questioned whether his own actions were truly correct. Yue Chi went to General Gu's residence with a long spear.
General Gu's son mistakenly thought he was there to silence them, so he prepared to challenge him, but he was no match for Yue Chi at all. Yue Chi fought with him only hoping that he would not give up because of this, but would build a career through his own efforts, so that he could protect the people he wanted to protect. Huo Jingheng also arrived in time after receiving the news.
He was worried that Yue Chi might hurt General Gu's family, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Mrs. Gu hoped that Huo Jingheng could allow her son to train in the military, and Huo Jingheng agreed.
Ling'er found that her brother and Huo Jingheng had not yet reconciled, so she decided to follow Du Tianzhao's suggestion, using her own means to get Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi to meet, and then lock them in a room, hoping they could talk and reconcile. At first, the two indeed could not communicate well, until later they saw a chessboard and began to review the events that had happened in recent days.
From this, they deduced that these matters must be related to Yi Qingyun, but he could not have accomplished it alone, there must be an insider. Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi thought of the same person, but Yue Chi did not want to believe that person was Jiang Yunqing. As for whether she could be made to show a flaw, further testing was needed. So the two pretended to break up, even involving Ling'er, whose titles were removed. Jiang Yunqing overheard the news and immediately went to report to Yi Qingyun. She did not expect that Yue Chi had already sent people to secretly follow her.
