Yongan Dream Episode 12 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
According to Lu Shiyan's plan, Shen Zhen and the others would travel by land, while Lu Shiyan would complete his task and travel by water to meet at the agreed location. Fu Man and Shen Zhen said goodbye, wishing each other well as they parted ways. Lu Shiyan encountered some trouble. He originally thought they could return smoothly after capturing Zhao Chong and that steward, but Zhao Chong's subordinate Pang Hu quickly chased after them.
Lu Shiyan was shot in the chest with an arrow and fell into the water, his fate unknown. Shen Zhen finally met Lu Shiyan's subordinates, who only brought back Zhao Chong and the steward, but not Lu Shiyan. Just then, the pursuers arrived. Fortunately, Lu Shiyan had sent letters to the local officials in advance, and imperial guards quickly came to their rescue. Shen Zhen and her group safely escaped danger.
As Lu Shiyan fell into the water, on the verge of death, he fell into a hallucination, discovering he and Shen Zhen had an unusual past life. In the hallucination, Shen Zhen was dressed in plain white, seemingly praying for him before the Buddha. Since it was a fated marriage, Lu Shiyan gradually regained consciousness and struggled to crawl out of the water. Shen Zhen wept sadly when she couldn't find Lu Shiyan.
Upon seeing him, she cried tears of joy. Lu Shiyan's weak voice reminded her not to cry anymore, or her heart would ache. Shen Ran told Zhou Shu'an about the new member in their household. Lan'er's identity was truly suspicious. Zhou Shu'an ordered people to quietly investigate. He produced evidence and gave it to Shen Ran, stating that Li Di had previously issued a marriage contract to his concubine, Ms. Shen, but had not divorced her.
If Shen Ran were to divorce him this time on the grounds of marrying another while still married, others would have nothing to say. Shen Ran nodded in agreement. Li Di's various crimes currently would be enough to implicate everyone in the future. If they could successfully divorce now, it would not be too late. When Li Di heard that Shen Ran wanted a divorce, he refused without hesitation, claiming that he had always treated her sincerely.
However, he could not produce the divorce papers from his concubine, and now the concubine was pregnant, making Li Di feel unable to cope. Soon after, Zhou Shu'an summoned Li Di again, saying that someone had reported him for marrying another while still married, which was a serious crime at the time. Li Di was a court official, and it would be difficult to manage if the higher authorities investigated.
Li Di quickly returned home to discuss with Lan'er, hoping Lan'er could intercede with the noble people in the palace. Lan'er directly reminded him that people in the palace would not care about his messy affairs. The fastest solution currently was to eliminate the concubine. Although the concubine was pregnant with Li Di's child, she still could not escape the fate of being a pawn. Shen Ran overheard by the window and sighed at Li Di's cold-blooded nature.
After Lu Shiyan was injured, Shen Zhen stayed by his bedside, caring for him without leaving. Lu Shiyan repeatedly called out "Don't go" while unconscious. Seeing that Lu Shiyan was still feverish, Shen Zhen did not withdraw her hand from his. In his coma, Lu Shiyan returned to the familiar dream again. It was still Shen Zhen's face. The two were so familiar and inseparable in the dream.
In the dream, Lu Shiyan received a farewell letter from Shen Zhen, and his heart ached as if stabbed by a knife. He couldn't distinguish between the dream and reality, but he felt the pain keenly, and thus always mumbled for her not to leave him. Shen Zhen didn't understand why Lu Shiyan was in so much pain, to the extent that in a moment of delirium, he pulled her hand and even gave her an overbearing kiss.
This was indeed different from his usual proper state. Finally, Lu Shiyan's fever broke. In the morning, he saw Shen Zhen personally feeding him medicine and was deeply moved. Looking at that familiar red lips, he hesitated, wondering if he had dreamt it or if they had truly kissed in reality. After much trepidation, just as he was about to ask for clarification, a subordinate suddenly pushed the door open.
In that awkward moment, he had no choice but to change the subject. Zhao Chong was locked in the woodshed, neither eating nor drinking. After Lu Shiyan's condition improved, he went to interrogate Zhao Chong. He heard Zhao Chong adamantly claiming that it was done jointly with Li Di and that all the crimes were committed only by the two of them. Lu Shiyan did not show his concerns.
He unceremoniously reminded Zhao Chong to eat more, as a pawn did not have much food to eat in the first place. Perhaps these days escorting Zhao Chong were the most relaxed. Lu Shiyan had already developed feelings for Shen Zhen, but he found it difficult to express himself in this matter. He wanted to confirm whether he had really kissed Shen Zhen while he was unconscious, but every time Shen Zhen changed the subject. The two of them continued to interact with such unspoken understanding.
