The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 9 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
Wen Ye led a large team to search overnight, quickly locking onto the abandoned house in Xihe Village. Upon approaching, they found guards stationed there. Inside the rooms were scattered items and clothes, indicating someone had stayed briefly. In another room, they found the bracelet Shen Keyi bought at the night market, suggesting she couldn't be far away. Wen Ye ordered the Tiger Leap Battalion soldiers to seal off the mountain.
Zhou Yu expressed that Qiyu Village was too close to the capital, and such a large-scale troop deployment might be counterproductive if exploited by ill-intentioned people. Wen Ye couldn't spare many thoughts for that; he had to find Shen Keyi even if there was only a glimmer of hope. Madam Shen received the jade pendant, extremely satisfied.
Upon hearing that Wen Ye had deployed troops to seal off the mountain and search, she worried her lie would be exposed and again sent a message to Commander Zhang to act quickly before Wen Ye arrived. Shen Keyi was taken by Zhou Yu to a cool spot in the mountains to rest. She stated that she had been poisoned and was close to death, unable to fetch a ransom.
She sighed that at the end of her life, she was being hunted by the person she cared about most, only to be saved by a stranger. Zhou Yu advised Shen Keyi not to worry and said he would find a way to detoxify her. After speaking, he took out a few freshly picked fruits for Shen Keyi to eat. After eating the fruits and sleeping, Shen Keyi found herself surrounded by bandits.
Zhou Yu's father had brought people to find them. Shen Keyi was much more energetic. Zhou Yu's father was skilled in medicine and stated that the fruits Shen Keyi had just eaten were Earth Spirit Fruits, which have detoxifying properties. Zhou Yu had inadvertently saved Shen Keyi's life. Zhou Yu suggested returning to the bandit camp immediately, but Shen Keyi was worried about the poisoned well water. The Chief bandit said that Prince Jin had mobilized the Tiger Leap Army.
Shen Keyi thought Prince Jin was coming to hold her accountable and didn't want to implicate Zhou Yu, so she insisted on returning to Qiyu Village alone. Zhou Yu was worried and went with her. The Chief bandit, worried about his son, also quietly followed behind. After Commander Zhang spotted Shen Keyi, he ordered her immediate capture. Zhou Yu helped block arrows, but was powerless due to the large number of opponents.
The Chief bandit organized his men to cover Zhou Yu's escape. Moments later, Zhou Yu and Shen Keyi were still surrounded by Commander Zhang's men. Just as they were about to lose their lives under Commander Zhang's blade, Prince Jin arrived with his team and rescued them. Shen Keyi admitted that she was the substitute illegitimate daughter bride and had deceived the Prince's mansion.
She only asked that Zhou Yu and his group be spared, offering to atone with her death. Wen Ye was very sad, realizing that Shen Keyi still didn't truly understand him. So, he let Shen Keyi leave. Guard Wan investigated Tianhe Village, which is said to often rob the rich to help the poor and are not wicked lawbreakers. Commander Zhang continued to pursue relentlessly, likely acting on a secret order from Prime Minister Shen.
Zhou Yu learned that Shen Keyi was going to pick Earth Spirit Fruits the next day to detoxify the villagers. He suggested that Prince Jin could send more men to facilitate talking with Shen Keyi. Prince Jin pretended not to care, but immediately agreed verbally. Madam Yun Ying fasted for two days, praying for Wen Ye's safety. Guard Wan worried that Madam Yun Ying's body couldn't endure it and forcibly carried her back to her room to rest.
Madam Yun Ying stated that in her lifetime, she didn't want to witness her brother in danger and wished to exchange her life for Prince Jin's safety. Guard Wan replied that Madam Yun Ying's life was most precious. With the officials and bandits working together, the villagers were quickly treated. Shen Keyi wanted to climb a cliff to pick fruits. Wen Ye worried that Shen Keyi would be in danger and picked many fruits on her behalf.
Midway, his hand was cut, so he asked Shen Keyi to bandage it for him. When Zhou Yu and Shen Keyi were distributing fruits to the villagers, Wen Ye intentionally helped to get closer to Shen Keyi. However, Shen Keyi deliberately avoided him, leaving Zhou Yu and Wen Ye to work together.
