A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 19 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
Yi Qingyun intentionally showed himself in front of Lord Wei and provoked him with his words, aiming to make him impeach Yue Chi. As expected, Lord Wei fell for the trick. In the court, he impeached Yue Chi for impersonating Consort Yue. However, Lord Wei was not present on the day of prayer, so he did not see it with his own eyes. Yue Chi did not admit to this matter and stated that he had witnesses.
Beauty Xia, Zhao Jieyu, and others jointly testified for Yue Chi, stating that he had never impersonated Consort Yue. Lord Wei stated that he also had a witness. His witness was Consort Hui. Huo Jingheng reminded Consort Hui to speak carefully. Seeing this, Yue Chi recalled what Consort Hui had said back then, that she could not be part of the Yue family. Yue Chi thought, "I'm finished."
However, Consort Hui did not explicitly state that Yue Chi had impersonated Consort Yue. The matter passed just like that. Yue Chi believed that Lord Wei had been misled by someone with ulterior motives, so he did not hold him accountable. Originally, in order to make Ling'er "die suddenly", Huo Jingheng had someone knock her out and tie her up. Therefore, when he passed by Fengluan Palace, he did not dare to go in and see Ling'er.
It just so happened that Consort Hui saw this scene. While the Emperor was in her palace, she persuaded him to go and explain to Ling'er. In court today, the reason Consort Hui did not expose Yue Chi was for Ling'er's sake. She had completely transformed and cherished the people around her more and more, so she had also learned to protect others. Huo Jingheng took Consort Hui's advice and took the initiative to find Ling'er.
Ling'er was actually very angry. She had always felt that Huo Jingheng and the others looked down on women, and this time, it was women who happened to help them resolve the matter. Huo Jingheng knew Ling'er was angry, and even though her words were offensive to him, he did not blame her. This time, Huo Jingheng directly confessed his feelings to Ling'er. He was fond of Ling'er and hoped she could stay by his side forever.
When Ling'er heard the Emperor's confession, her heart fluttered like a little deer. Ling'er actually also liked Huo Jingheng. Hearing Huo Jingheng say this, she looked at him affectionately and took the initiative to "presumptuously" kiss the Emperor. Yue Chi was ordered to secretly investigate the Princess. According to the Princess's story, they did not find that household. Instead, they found that the Princess had a connection with the Barbarian King.
Huo Jingheng decided to negotiate peace with the Barbarian King. He did not want to ignite war again. The reason he ascended the throne back then was to hope that all people could return home and have fields to cultivate. Yue Chi cast an admiring gaze at him, thinking it was the fortune of the people in the world to have such an emperor. Huo Jingheng deliberately treated the Princess very well.
He even specifically searched for many flowers she liked outside and had a pair of gold hairpins specially made for her to wear. Soon, Huo Jingheng arranged for Yue Chi to preside over and handle the Princess's enfeoffment ceremony as a consort. It was just that Huo Jingheng did not tell Ling'er about this in advance. He was worried that Ling'er would be angry and could only pray silently.
As expected, Ling'er was very angry when she heard the palace maids discussing the matter of the Princess being enfeoffed as a consort. However, Eunuch Gui brought Ling'er some pastries on the Emperor's order and delivered a message, "Hard outside, soft inside." Ling'er seemed to understand Huo Jingheng's meaning. The Barbarian King learned that Wen Rou was to be enfeoffed as a consort and wanted to enter the palace to take her out, but he was stopped by Yi Qingyun. Yi Qingyun would not let him ruin his plan. Only if Wen Rou became a consort would there be a chance to strike at Huo Jingheng.
