Yongan Dream Episode 19 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Lu Shiyan went to find Xu Wei, first going to Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, and then following him to the Duke Zhenguo's mansion. He found Xu Wei holding Shen Zhen hostage with a dagger, and immediately warned Xu Wei not to act rashly. Xu Wei shamelessly told Lu Shiyan to choose between the Princess Regent and Shen Zhen. Lu Shiyan found it strange. What did his mother have to do with this case?
He was trying to buy time when he suddenly heard the hustle and bustle outside the door; Zhou Shu'an was leading another group of people to surround the Duke Zhenguo's mansion. Lu Shiyan took advantage of Xu Wei's lack of vigilance to rescue Shen Zhen. Hearing his mother's voice outside, Xu Wei fled, and Lu Shiyan quickly chased after him.
In the courtyard, Lu Shiyan saw Xu Wei rush directly in front of the Princess Regent, deliberately framing her, saying that he had handled things poorly and deserved her blame, and then slit his own throat in public. Lu Shiyan was secretly shocked. He immediately realized that Xu Wei was deliberately framing someone, and to be safe, he quietly hid. The Princess Regent saw a large number of weapons and contracts with official seals searched from the Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
It was clear that this was a deliberate frame-up. She hadn't expected anyone to plot against the Duke Zhenguo's mansion. Shen Zhen witnessed the entire process from the side. At first, Xu Wei kidnapped her, deliberately abducting her to the Duke Zhenguo's mansion, and then Xu Wei deliberately committed suicide when Zhou Shu'an arrived. It was evident that everything was premeditated, so both the Princess Regent and Lu Shiyan were framed. The Princess Regent was taken away by Zhou Shu'an.
Lu Shiyan still needed to help his mother find evidence, so he quietly hid. Afterwards, Zhou Shu'an reported the whole sequence of events to the Emperor. Although the evidence was conclusive, Zhou Shu'an frankly stated that he also felt the evidence had come too easily, and there might be a trick involved. The Emperor gave Zhou Shu'an a certain amount of time to investigate the case.
If the truth could not be uncovered, the Princess Regent would be executed according to the law as scheduled. Shen Ran feared that her sister would be implicated. She immediately reminded Shen Zhen not to have any further connection with Lu Shiyan from now on. Having just experienced a catastrophe where their father almost died unjustly in prison, their family had no one to rely on, and they needed to be even more vigilant not to court disaster.
Shen Zhen insisted that Lu Shiyan and the Princess Regent were not guilty, but there was no conclusive evidence at all at the moment. Shen Ran confined her. Su Heng knew about the relationship between Shen Zhen and Lu Shiyan and lingered near Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, not knowing how to comfort Shen Zhen. Just then, Xu Yiqing came looking for Lu Shiyan and then brought news from the Princess Regent's side.
Shen Zhen told Xu Yiqing what had happened that day at the Duke Zhenguo's mansion. Xu Yiqing also felt that Lu Shiyan was innocent and was most likely hiding to find evidence. Indeed, Lu Shiyan had been hiding in the Duke Zhenguo's mansion these past few days. He sent a signal to his personal bodyguard. The two kept a close eye on the Duke Zhenguo's steward. When the Duke Zhenguo's mansion was searched initially, only the steward did not panic.
Moreover, with so many boxes of weapons, only the steward had the authority to have them brought in. Finally, on a dark and windy night, Lu Shiyan discovered the steward's true colors. Someone came to him, asking for the payment for carrying the weapons that day. The steward claimed that he was currently under house arrest and had no way to go out. Once the confinement was lifted, he would pay them.
