A Prime Minister's Disguise Episode 23 Recap
> A Prime Minister's Disguise Recap
Huo Jingheng finally met his grandfather. His grandfather prepared a lot of food for him. When Huo Jingheng spoke to him about the war outside, his grandfather initially did not want to help him. In that case, he hoped Huo Jingheng could stay there and live a free and easy life with him. It wasn't until Huo Jingheng explained the seriousness of the situation to his grandfather that his grandfather changed his mind.
Jiang Yunqing reminded Yi Qingyun, so Yi Qingyun did not lead the large army into Fengming Mountain and tied up Yue Chi. Yue Ling'er and Du Tianzhao had arrived near where the enemy army was stationed. They entered the place where Yue Chi was held captive and, following Yue Chi's guidance, were to go to Fengming Mountain to notify Huo Jingheng. However, Du Tianzhao and Yue Ling'er almost got lost on the way to Fengming Mountain.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunqing appeared in time. Although she saved Yue Ling'er, she knocked her out and took her away, and kicked Du Tianzhao away into an area with many poisonous insects, leaving Du Tianzhao's fate uncertain. Du Tianzhao found his father and cried, hugging him. General Du disliked seeing him like this and told him to get to the point.
Only then did Du Tianzhao remember what Yue Chi had told him and also revealed that Yue Ling'er had been held captive by Jiang Yunqing. Huo Jingheng was very angry and immediately mobilized troops to rescue Yue Ling'er. During this attempt, he rescued Yue Chi, but Yue Ling'er was used as leverage. He and Yue Ling'er had a tacit understanding. Under Jiang Yunqing's threat, Huo Jingheng reluctantly shot an arrow at Yue Ling'er.
In fact, his arrow would not harm Yue Ling'er. Jiang Yunqing protected Yue Ling'er. Yue Ling'er was taken to Li Kingdom by Jiang Yunqing and her people. Huo Jingheng wanted to rescue her but was stopped by Yue Chi. As the monarch of a country, he could not enter enemy territory alone. Yue Chi knew that Jiang Yunqing would not harm Yue Ling'er, so the rescue of Yue Ling'er needed to be carefully planned.
Huo Jingheng and his group needed to return to the imperial city first. General Du had no desire to serve as an official in the court, but he was willing to assist Huo Jingheng in guarding the Ning Dynasty. He would lead the Northwestern Army to garrison Fengming Mountain and defend the border for Ning. Huo Jingheng returned to the palace, missing Yue Ling'er. The Empress Dowager and Consort Hui were also worried about Yue Ling'er.
Huo Jingheng promised to bring Yue Ling'er back safely. Huo Jingheng went to Fengluan Palace. This was where Yue Ling'er had lived, containing traces of her life, but it was now covered in dust. He asked Xiao Yue to bring a rag and water and cleaned it himself. Wei Zhang saw this and felt it was improper, offering to help, but Xiao Yue stopped him. Xiao Yue knew the Emperor missed the Consort.
At this moment, he was not the Emperor but a husband waiting for his wife to come home. Yue Ling'er did not eat or drink in Li Kingdom. Jiang Yunqing hoped she could become more clear-headed, believing there was nothing to be attached to about a man who only cared about winning and shot an arrow at the woman he loved. Yue Ling'er always stood by Huo Jingheng.
She said if she were Huo Jingheng, she would make the same choice, because what was in Huo Jingheng's heart was the peace and the people of Ning, and she was also one of the people of Ning, so she understood Huo Jingheng's actions. Li Kingdom was already prepared to go to war with Ning. The current situation was severe. Yue Chi requested permission to lead the Qilin Army and the Ning army to march out and meet the enemy.
However, he was opposed by the ministers, who disagreed with deploying the Qilin Army. At this time, the Empress Dowager appeared. She stated that whoever was capable should go, and if anyone said more, they would be sent to the battlefield as human shields. Only then did the ministers fall silent. Huo Jingheng issued a decree, ordering Yue Chi to lead the Qilin Army and the Ning army to depart and engage the enemy.
