The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 13 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
At night, Wen Ye brought the prepared "crab steamed in orange" to Shen Keyi. It was Shen Keyi's first time eating the rare crab, and she didn't expect it to be cooked in combination with ordinary fresh oranges. Wen Ye said that although it was just a common food, it could bring out the best flavor of the crab. The two ingredients complemented each other, both finding their best state suitable for themselves, symbolizing their marriage.
Prime Minister Shen arranged to meet Zuo Shuangzhi, mentioning that Wen Ye wanted to build a military base camp in Quezhou to store grain, fodder, and equipment. If Zuo Shuangzhi could sabotage the military base construction plan, he would find a way to make Wen Ye leave the capital and guard his fiefdom. Zuo Shuangzhi told Prime Minister Shen that her ultimate goal was not for Wen Ye to leave the capital, but that he must die.
Before Wen Ye departed for Quezhou to supervise the construction, Shen Keyi prepared many items. Wen Ye suggested they use them when they return to the mansion for an outing after the project is completed. The two then reluctantly parted ways. Zuo Shuangzhi secretly followed Wen Ye and stationed herself in Quezhou. She analyzed the Cang Dynasty's garrison plan with her attendants.
Once the military base camp is completed, the Cang Dynasty can join forces with two other countries, putting the border of Liang State in jeopardy. Therefore, the plan to build the military base must be interrupted. By then, the people and wealth will have been wasted in vain, Wen Ye will be held accountable, and he must relinquish his military power and bear the responsibility.
On the necessary route for transporting grain and fodder, there is a mountain stronghold, which is Tianhe寨. Its geographical location is excellent. Zuo Shuangzhi planned to wipe out Tianhe寨 so that she could ambush the grain and fodder transport team. At that time, by luring the tiger away from the mountain, she might find an opportunity to assassinate Wen Ye. Uncle Dao received benefits from Nanzhu Pavilion and became an inside informant planted in Tianhe寨.
Uncle Dao suggested ambushing a merchant caravan that recently appeared at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Yu heard that the Prince Jin was recently building a military base, so it was not advisable to act rashly. Uncle Dao agreed on the surface, but in reality, he had no intention of obeying orders and still planned to ambush Wen Ye's grain transport team. After finishing supervising the construction, Wen Ye returned to the mansion.
Shen Keyi suggested they go out and play together. The two came to the lakeside, where someone was holding an activity to pick the rare species, the Three-Colored Chrysanthemum. Seeing that Shen Keyi liked it, Wen Ye won the first prize to obtain the Three-Colored Chrysanthemum for Shen Keyi. Suddenly, many men in black appeared by the lake. Shen Keyi hid by the shore, but her foot was tied with a rope and she was pulled into the lake.
Seeing Shen Keyi fall into the water, Wen Ye immediately jumped into the lake to rescue her. Tianhe寨 was celebrating its 30th anniversary. Uncle Dao put medicine in the wine. Zhou Yu drank too much and walked out of the room alone. He found a handkerchief with an iris pattern dropped at the bottom of the steps. Wen Ye and Shen Keyi drifted to a shallow beach.
After slowly waking up, Wen Ye found that he had been shot in the leg with an arrow. Shen Keyi was very distressed and helped Wen Ye find a place to rest. Shen Keyi remembered that the assassins also had iris patterns on them. Wen Ye had a premonition that it was Nanzhu Pavilion from Liang State causing trouble. The next day, he arranged for grain transportation. Nanzhu Pavilion should have been planning for a long time.
Just then, Nan Bo arrived with guards. Wen Ye ordered Nan Bo to arrange for Shen Keyi to return to the capital, while the rest followed him to Qushan. After Zhou Yu realized that Uncle Dao had betrayed him, Zuo Shuangzhi had already taken people to control Tianhe寨, forcing Zhou Yu to surrender to Nanzhu Pavilion. Zhou Yu preferred death to surrender, so he knocked over a candlestick and set himself on fire to attract the officials.
Zuo Shuangzhi did not expect Zhou Yu to have such integrity. For safety's sake, she could only retreat immediately. Before leaving, she killed Uncle Dao.
