A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 20 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
During the enfeoffment ceremony, the imperial decree was missing. Yue Chi looked at Du Tianzhao's appearance and knew that he had taken the imperial decree. He wanted to prevent Huo Jingheng from enfeoffing the consort. Yue Chi deliberately asked Du Tianzhao to read the imperial decree. Du Tianzhao had no choice but to take the imperial decree out of his sleeve. He did not expect Huo Jingheng to enfeoff Wen Rou as the Noble Consort.
He felt this matter was improper. Just before Wen Rou received the decree, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring an imperial edict. The eunuch read it on the spot. Wen Rou could only be a Consort and could not overstep. The eunuch also removed the gold hairpin she was wearing on her head and told her that she must be cautious and act properly from now on.
On the wedding night, Wen Rou wanted to assassinate Huo Jingheng, but he was prepared. Huo Jingheng subdued her. Yue Chi had been waiting for them. The two of them wanted to lure out the Barbarian King through Wen Rou, hoping to negotiate peace with him. Wen Rou deliberately wrote a letter to the Barbarian King in front of them, but while they were unprepared, she wrote small characters using invisible ink. Huo Jingheng and the others did not notice.
The Barbarian King was a little surprised after receiving the letter, not expecting Wen Rou to handle the matter so quickly. Yi Qingyun did not believe it. He roasted the note over a candle, the invisible characters appeared, and Yi Qingyun had a plan. The Barbarian King arrived as scheduled. Yue Chi always felt something was amiss on the way. Regardless, Huo Jingheng had to go. Only by doing so would there be sincerity for peace negotiations.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Huo Jingheng arranged for people to first capture the ambushers and then negotiate peace with the Barbarian King. They were very surprised why Wen Rou had such great hostility towards Huo Jingheng. The Barbarian King truthfully explained that he had saved Wen Rou back then. The Prince of Beijun had died in battle. At that time, he wanted the Emperor's position, so he tried to stop himself and Huo Jingheng. But he was defeated.
To give Wen Rou something to hope for, the Barbarian King deliberately said that Huo Jingheng had killed the Prince of Beijun. Wen Rou was very angry, feeling that living in hatred for so many years and wanting to avenge her father was a joke. She wanted to commit suicide but was stopped by Yue Chi. Huo Jingheng originally did not want them to die.
He only hoped that they could live in peace with Da Ning and protect Da Ning well in their vassal territory. The Barbarian King and Wen Rou agreed. They agreed to negotiate peace. Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished signing the peace treaty, the camp was attacked by Yi Qingyun and his men. The Barbarian King was severely wounded. Wen Rou was originally rescued by Yue Chi, but she did not want to live on alone.
For so many years, she had been using the Barbarian King and ignored his affection for her. Now, she would not let the Barbarian King leave like this alone, so she chose to die with the Barbarian King. Along with Yi Qingyun's men came Jiang Yunqing. She met Yue Chi in battle, but she wanted to give Yue Chi a way out. Unexpectedly, in the end, Yue Chi still chose Huo Jingheng. Huo Jingheng held Yi Qingyun hostage.
Yue Chi seized the opportunity to run into the woods with the two of them. Jiang Yunqing was extremely angry and ordered arrows to be shot towards the direction they escaped. Yue Chi was injured. In his haste, Yue Chi fired a signal flare, summoning the Qilin army. Seeing this, the relentless officials and soldiers temporarily gave up the pursuit. Yi Qingyun used medicine to blind Huo Jingheng's eyes.
At this time, Yue Chi was also unable to help Huo Jingheng because of his injury. So, the two of them cooperated. Under Yue Chi's guidance, Huo Jingheng subdued Yi Qingyun. Then the two of them helped each other and left this place of trouble.
