A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 22 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
Yue Ling'er and Du Tianzhao struggled to move forward in the mountain forest. They hadn't eaten properly for several days and were completely out of strength. Fortunately, they persevered and walked out of the forest, finding an inn. Yue Ling'er had been eating irregularly these past few days, her stomach was uncomfortable, and she had continuous diarrhea. She checked into the inn.
Looking at the baozi Du Tianzhao brought her, she remembered eating baozi happily with her brother Jiang Yunqing when she was a child, and she couldn't help but cry. Jiang Yunqing left silver for the innkeeper and also asked them to brew anti-diarrhea medicine for Yue Ling'er. Yue Ling'er knew that Jiang Yunqing still cared about her and was very happy. Yue Chi met with Huo Jingheng, who was disguised as a soldier, in the army.
In fact, the two of them were putting on an act. Huo Jingheng's maternal grandfather commanded the Northwestern Army. Initially, they had different ideas; his grandfather believed that Huo Jingheng's entry into the imperial city was not an uprising but a rebellion, so he did not enter the palace with him and chose to retire from military service and return to his land. This time, Huo Jingheng hoped his grandfather could come out of retirement to help him.
However, based on the current terrain where Yi Qingyun and his forces were located, meeting his grandfather required bypassing their military camp. Furthermore, to surround Yi Qingyun's army, someone in the army was needed to provide support. Only then did Huo Jingheng think of having Yue Chi "defect." Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi first staged a play in front of the ministers. In fact, Dugu Xing did not die, and their fight was also fake. Jiang Yunqing was very cautious.
She didn't believe Yue Chi would simply join Yi Qingyun's faction like this. Jiang Yunqing warned Yi Qingyun to be careful, but Yi Qingyun still trusted Yue Chi. He felt that Jiang Yunqing didn't understand men; being stabbed by someone regarded as a brother would be incredibly heartbreaking. Jiang Yunqing didn't think so, believing the relationship between Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi was not as simple as it appeared. Jiang Yunqing arranged to meet with Yue Chi.
She hoped Yue Chi would help her. This time, Jiang Yunqing confessed her past. Back then, the Empress and a princess protected her and helped her survive. Now, she wanted to repay their kindness and protect Xiaoshuo to ascend the throne. In Yue Chi's heart, Huo Jingheng was the true emperor who cared for the common people, which was why he supported Huo Jingheng. Moreover, the current situation was not suitable for changing emperors again.
But Jiang Yunqing had gone mad. She made a shallow cut on Yue Chi's neck with a knife. Yi Qingyun arrived in time and shielded Yue Chi. Jiang Yunqing declared that Yue Chi had betrayed them, while Yi Qingyun retorted that she was the least qualified person to talk about betrayal now, as she had just done such a thing a few days ago.
Huo Jingheng and Yue Chi collaborated to cause some soldiers in the army to show symptoms of acclimatization issues and diarrhea. Yue Chi also pretended to be unwell and took the opportunity to suggest to Yi Qingyun that the army should move east. After considering, Yi Qingyun believed Yue Chi's words. He decided to lead the army to migrate east. By this time, Huo Jingheng had arrived at his grandfather's residence and planned to join forces with his grandfather to jointly surround and attack Yi Qingyun's main army.
