Yongan Dream Episode 16 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Lu Shiyan re-examined the scene and found that the prison door lock was opened with a key and then cut a few times with a knife. He then found that the area around where Zhao Chong fell was a mess, but the area beneath them was clean.
Furthermore, based on the marks on the small table where Zhao Chong ate, it could be seen that Zhao Chong was not panicked when he saw the assassin, indicating that it was originally committed by an acquaintance. Daybreak arrived. Lu Shiyan gathered all the prison guards and publicly stated that the killer had been found and was among them, which could be revealed by testing the water in the basin.
One of the prison guards nervously rubbed his hands on his sleeves repeatedly, trying to cover up any traces. This small action was noticed by Lu Shiyan, and they finally found the person who assassinated Zhao Chong. Regrettably, the prison guard who assassinated Zhao Chong had a troubled expression.
He reluctantly stated that he could not reveal the mastermind, and pleaded with Lu Shiyan to take care of his family for the sake of his many years of diligent service, then bit off his own tongue and committed suicide. After Shen Ran regained consciousness, she immediately went to visit Zhou Shu'an. Upon hearing that Zhou Shu'an was injured while saving her, Shen Ran was very grateful. Zhou Shu'an expressed his feelings, hoping that Shen Ran could accept him.
Shen Ran confessed that after everything with Li Di, she had no interest in marriage. Zhou Shu'an supported her decision and was willing to prove himself with time. Li Di was arrested and brought to justice, but he refused to reveal the mastermind. Zhou Shu'an had his subordinates bring out Lan'er's body, reminding Li Di to know his place, that they were merely pawns. He then deceived Li Di about Shen Wenqi's death.
Li Di became completely despairing and then revealed some truths. These words were fully recorded and were sufficient to prove that Shen Wenqi was framed. Shen Zhen was released without guilt. She immediately went to see her sister. The reunion of the sisters was naturally filled with emotion. Fortunately, they could finally go home now. Late at night, Su Heng began reviewing the scene he saw in the prison that day.
He saw Zhao Chong dip his clothes in blood and write the three characters "长公主" (Princess Regent). Just in case, Su Heng tore off the piece of cloth with the blood characters. The Emperor quickly issued an imperial decree, ordering Su Heng to assist Lu Shiyan in investigating the case. From Zhou Shu'an, Su Heng learned that it was Lu Shiyan who had captured Zhao Chong originally and almost lost his life in the process.
Su Heng then handed the characters he had torn from the corner of Zhao Chong's clothes to Zhou Shu'an and reminded him to keep it confidential. Lu Shiyan was still pondering at his residence, wondering why a piece of Zhao Chong's clothes was torn off. He guessed that Zhao Chong must have left something behind that was hidden, and Shen Zhen's jade bracelet on her wrist was also mysteriously missing.
The more Lu Shiyan thought about it, the more confused he became, so he personally went to the Ministry of Personnel to find Su Heng and asked him if he had seen Shen Zhen's jade bracelet in the prison at that time. Su Heng noticed that Lu Shiyan quietly brought flowers for Shen Zhen when he came, and felt like he had knocked over a vinegar jar in his heart, becoming even more displeased with Lu Shiyan.
Not only Su Heng, but even Shen Ran was not optimistic about her sister's relationship with Lu Shiyan. Lu Shiyan's mother was after all the Princess Regent, and the gap between their families was too wide. Moreover, she hoped her sister would lead a simple and peaceful life. Lu Shiyan heard her clearly, but his heart was completely devoted to Shen Zhen. He also firmly asserted that he would protect Shen Zhen's safety, but Lu Shiyan smiled without speaking.
With the efforts of Lu Shiyan and Zhou Shu'an, Shen Zhen's father, Shen Wenqi, was finally released from prison. As he had survived a great ordeal, Shen Wenqi was very happy and immediately invited Lu Shiyan and Zhou Shu'an to be guests at his home. Lu Shiyan and Zhou Shu'an eagerly vied to leave a good impression on their future father-in-law, and they quickly agreed.
