The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 4 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
Shen Keyi quickly recovered from her coma. Wen Ye walked into the tent and saw Shen Keyi reaching for snacks, so he asked her why she blocked the sword for him. Shen Keyi explained that she indeed wanted to make a good impression so that Prince Jin would like her. Besides, a family should help each other. Seeing that Shen Keyi was not hiding anything, Wen Ye slightly lowered his guard.
He remembered his mother saying the same words when he was a child and felt a sense of familiarity. All the assassins were captured. Except for one who refused to speak, the rest committed suicide by taking poison directly. Nan Bo asked if the Princess Consort knew martial arts. Wen Ye said that from the fighting scene, it didn't look like she knew martial arts, just had great strength in her fists and feet.
He suddenly remembered there was an ointment in the manor that left no scars after application and asked Guard Wan to find it. Guard Wan reminded him that Prince Jin had personally given it to Princess Yunxi. Wen Ye immediately stated that he must find a way to get it back. Shen Keyi found many books teaching how to charm men. She fantasized about Wen Ye being smitten by her beauty and amused herself. Wen Ye happened to pass by.
Seeing Shen Keyi waving a hairpin, he thought she was going to harm herself and stepped forward to stop her. They stumbled together and fell to the ground, kissing each other. Yi Fu came to the courtyard to look for Shen Keyi. Wen Ye was afraid of being discovered together, so he hid Shen Keyi under his cloak. Wen Ye eagerly rushed Yi Fu away, then hurried back to the tent himself, finding Shen Keyi's hairpin left on his robe.
Madam Yun Ying couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Keyi's attire. Learning that Shen Keyi wanted to attract Prince Jin, she asked her maid He Muer to carefully dress Shen Keyi up with high-quality rouge. Shen Keyi immediately looked livelier, and then He Muer escorted her back to her room. Guard Wan searched the assassins and found a map of Prince Jin's manor.
After repeated interrogation, the assassin stated that the map was provided by the Princess Consort, which was why they could find the back garden. Wen Ye's secretly relaxed nerves tensed up again. The next day, Nan Bo passed by the garden and saw Shen Keyi practicing martial arts, so he went up to ask. Shen Keyi said she was practicing Ba Duan Jin and taught Nan Bo a few moves. Suddenly, her stomach rumbled, and she hurried to the latrine.
Returning to her room, Shen Keyi was about to drink water when a maid rushed forward and stopped her with gestures, not daring to speak loudly. Shen Keyi guessed that Aunt Xin must have poisoned her food. Seeing Nan Bo and Shen Keyi getting close, Wen Ye punished Nan Bo by making him brush the chamber pot. Shen Keyi, learning that Nan Bo was implicated because of her, insisted on going to Wen Ye to demand justice.
Wen Ye punished Shen Keyi along with him, making Shen Keyi kneel for a long time in the rain. Shen Keyi obeyed the order and knelt until the rain stopped. The guard advised Wen Ye not to be too harsh on the Princess Consort. Wen Ye, however, said that Shen Keyi was Prime Minister Shen's informant, and he did not want her to take too deep root in the manor. Shen Keyi went to Madam Yun Ying's room to confide.
Madam Yun Ying asked Shen Keyi if she loved Wen Ye. Shen Keyi had a million thoughts and didn't know how to speak. As the two were talking, Wen Ye burst through the door, ordering Shen Keyi never to approach Shanglin Pavilion again. Madam Yun Ying was not well and should not be disturbed casually. Then he had Yi Fu drive Shen Keyi away. Shen Keyi returned to Xingyue Pavilion and found the door locked.
Aunt Xin forced Shen Keyi to kneel and beg her. Shen Keyi pretended to kneel, kicked Aunt Xin down, and then hid in a courtyard in the manor to sleep for the night.
