The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 6 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
Yi Fu heard that Shen Keyi had pleaded for him, and arranged for many people to clean the courtyard at Xingyue Pavilion, promoting A Tao to head maid. Madam Yun Ying mentioned that giving Shen Keyi the jade pendant was inevitably too valuable, but Wen Ye said the death-exempting gold tablet was just an external object to him, and he could protect himself even without it.
He also asked Madam Yun Ying to prepare some clothes and accessories for Shen Keyi so she wouldn't be dressed too plainly.
Madam Yun Ying thought Wen Ye still couldn't fully trust Shen Keyi, so she explained that Shen Keyi was different from the rest of the Prime Minister Shen's mansion, that she was sincere and simple, and moreover, since Shen Keyi married into the manor, the entire manor had gained vitality, and Wen Ye had unconsciously increased the number of times he returned to the manor.
She said that only with a woman could one establish a home and he should treat Shen Keyi well. The Empress Dowager heard that Wen Ye had punished the maids for Shen Keyi, reminded Yi Fu to keep a close eye on Wen Ye, and not to be swayed by emotion and fall into Prime Minister Shen's trap. Liang Kingdom's spy Zuo Shuangzhi was preparing to break free from Prime Minister Shen and act alone.
Her subordinate thought that they didn't have enough people currently and must rely on Prime Minister Shen. Since Wen Ye had a new weakness, they could plan to start with the Princess Consort. Zuo Shuangzhi recalled when her mother was killed as a child, a male hero had once saved her life and given her a dagger. At that time, due to fear, she had hit the man's palm with a stone.
Once she got her revenge and regained her status as a princess, she must find that great hero and live happily together. Bi Yun reported Shen Keyi's experiences in the manor to Madam Shen. Madam Shen worried that the plan might be exposed and prepared to find another opportunity to silence Shen Keyi permanently. Shen Keyi missed her wet nurse and made sugar figures in the manor to amuse Wen Ye.
Madam Shen sent someone to make Shen Keyi a new set of Shu brocade clothes for the palace banquet, and also expressed her apology for the disloyal servants sent before. Shen Keyi asked if Madam Yun Ying would go to the palace banquet with her. Madam Yun Ying said that she was a widow and it might be unlucky. Shen Keyi found some examples of women who had remarried and lived happily.
He Muer quickly interrupted, telling Shen Keyi not to talk nonsense. A Tao washed the new Shu brocade clothes with clean water first. After hanging the clothes to dry, she found many red rashes on her hands. Shen Keyi quickly took them to rinse, guessing that the new clothes sent by Madam Shen must be poisoned. If she wore them for a day, her skin would surely fester.
A Tao suggested that if Shen Keyi got sick, she might not have to attend the palace banquet. Shen Keyi poured the poisoned water into the flower pond in the courtyard. Wen Ye happened to pass by and saw it, so he took a few drops back for testing, wanting to know what Shen Keyi was secretly doing. Walking near Shanglin Pavilion, he saw Shen Keyi bathing in the lake again, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.
Returning to his room, Guard Wan tested with a silver needle and found that the water Shen Keyi had poured away was poisoned. Guard Wan was about to go to the back garden to find out the truth. Wen Ye remembered Shen Keyi was bathing and stopped Guard Wan. The next day, Shen Keyi caught a cold and was confined to bed. It turned out that bathing on a cold night was just to deliberately make herself sick.
Wen Ye wanted to find an imperial physician to diagnose her. Shen Keyi quickly said she only had a minor illness and would be fine after a short rest, but she couldn't stop coughing and probably couldn't attend the palace banquet. Wen Ye also knew the reason why Shen Keyi had been constantly bathing in the back mountain recently. Just after leaving Xingyue Pavilion, Shen Keyi got up and prepared to leave the manor.
She climbed over the wall and fell, right into Wen Ye's arms. Wen Ye asked if she pretended to be sick to avoid going to the palace. Shen Keyi neither confirmed nor denied, just waiting for Wen Ye to scold her. Unexpectedly, not only was Wen Ye not angry, but he also said there was still an hour until the banquet, and he could accompany Shen Keyi to stroll through the night market.
