The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 14 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
Zhou Yu wandered outside for a few days, returned to Tianhezhai to prepare to celebrate the establishment of the stronghold with his father, but found his father brutally murdered, with a Nanzhu Pavilion handkerchief next to him. In his grief, Zhou Yu vowed to avenge his father. The imperial physician removed the arrow for Madam Yun Ying. Fortunately, the injury was not fatal, and she could recover with a few days of rest.
Guard Wan stayed by her bedside day and night, unwilling to leave. On the way back to Qushan with his troops, Wen Ye happened to encounter Zuo Shuangzhi, who was busy retreating. The two sides fought fiercely. Zhou Yu also rushed to reinforce. Zuo Shuangzhi was almost shot and quickly escaped using Qinggong. Zhou Yu pursued closely. After bandaging her wound, Zuo Shuangzhi recalled the scar she had noticed when fighting with Wen Ye during the day.
It turned out that the person who saved her back then was Wen Ye. Shen Keyi prepared to meet the Empress Dowager to ask for instructions regarding Wen Ye's birthday banquet. The Empress Dowager deliberately made things difficult, making Shen Keyi kneel and wait for a long time. Madam Shen arranged for a neighbor from when Shen Keyi sold candy figures to enter the palace to say some unsavory things about Shen Keyi.
She also asked if there were any newly selected maidens in her family. Bi Yun replied that there happened to be a niece. Madam Shen ordered a presentable dowry to be prepared as a gift, relying entirely on her niece to bring down Shen Keyi and vent her anger.
The Empress Dowager finally allowed Shen Keyi to enter the room but ordered someone to bring out several portraits of maidens, asking Shen Keyi to choose some concubines for Wen Ye, to ensure he has many descendants. Shen Keyi said choosing concubines was absolutely not Wen Ye's intention. The Empress Dowager, citing Shen Keyi's jealousy, slapped her twice. Shen Keyi wanted to return to the Prince Jin's mansion to cook longevity noodles for Wen Ye.
The Empress Dowager softened and allowed Shen Keyi to return to the palace. At the same time, she summoned Yi Fu to the palace to ask about matters at the Prince's mansion. On the way back to the mansion, A Tao said she must tell Prince Jin about today's humiliation. Shen Keyi quickly stopped her, saying she couldn't let her own minor grievance affect Wen Ye's birthday celebration.
Yi Fu explained that Wen Ye and Shen Keyi had a very good relationship. The Empress Dowager sighed that she hadn't remembered Wen Ye's birthday for several years in a row, but it was rare for the Princess Consort to be so thoughtful and concerned about Wen Ye everywhere. However, Wen Ye couldn't stay in the capital for too long; he would still have to return to his fiefdom after the military base was completed.
The late emperor had originally intended to pass the throne to Wen Ye, but the current Emperor had always held a grudge. Moreover, Wen Ye had lost the jade pendant, and his future fate was unpredictable. It was better for him to return to his fiefdom sooner to ensure a lifetime of peace. As for the Princess Consort, although she hadn't colluded with the Shen family, she wouldn't be able to stay with Wen Ye for long.
Madam Shen had made many small moves in court, and Shen Keyi would be divorced sooner or later. Wen Ye ordered the search for Nanzhu Pavilion remnants to stop. He had clashed with the leader of Nanzhu Pavilion several times; the opponent's martial arts skills were quite high, not inferior to his own. Furthermore, Nanzhu Pavilion was operating in the shadows. Spending a lot of effort sealing off mountains to search would likely not have much effect.
It was better to let them return to the capital and, in one fell swoop, uncover Nanzhu Pavilion's internal contacts in the court. That night, Wen Ye returned to his mansion. Shen Keyi brought him longevity noodles, and only then did Wen Ye remember it was his birthday that day. A warmth welled up in his heart. Shen Keyi sat on Wen Ye's lap and acted spoiled, noticing a scar on Wen Ye's palm. She asked about the reason.
Wen Ye explained that he accidentally got the injury years ago while saving a little girl. Zuo Shuangzhi quietly sneaked into the Prince Jin's mansion and overheard their conversation, further confirming that the person who saved her back then was Wen Ye. She only felt that fate was cruelly playing tricks on her.
