Yongan Dream Episode 20 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Lu Shiyan told his personal bodyguard Yang Zong about the situation he had investigated. Hearing how crafty the steward was, Yang Zong was about to tie him up, but Lu Shiyan instructed him not to alert the enemy. The Princess Regent's seal might still be in the steward's hands, so they needed to focus on searching for the hidden seal. Late at night, Su Heng drowned his sorrows in wine.
During the day, he had gone to visit Shen Zhen and heard her say that if anything really happened to Lu Shiyan, she definitely wouldn't live alone. His childhood sweetheart, who had grown up with him, would actually be willing to die for another man. This was truly too sad. Xu Yiqing envied Shen Zhen and Lu Shiyan's true feelings, and told Su Heng not to always look at things one-sidedly.
Since he truly liked Shen Zhen, he should respect her choice. The two started fighting again after a disagreement, but after struggling for a while, they sat on the ground panting and called for a stop. He finally understood that as long as Shen Zhen could be happy, he would approve of whomever she chose.
Xu Yiqing heard Su Heng say he saw someone carrying things out of the Duke Zhenguo's mansion, and immediately suggested finding Shen Zhen to draw a portrait of the person carrying the things. When Shen Zhen drew the portrait according to Su Heng's description, she discovered that the person was none other than Pang Hu.
This Pang Hu had previously harmed Shen Zhen and Lu Shiyan several times, and now he had openly appeared at the Duke Zhenguo's mansion transporting weapons, clearly with prior planning. Su Heng also felt something was wrong after hearing this. If Pang Hu was truly the Princess Regent's man, it would be impossible for him to put Lu Shiyan in danger multiple times.
Xu Yiqing also added that through their interactions over the past few days, she believed the Princess Regent was kind-hearted. Normally, when the steward used the seal, the Princess Regent readily gave it to him. Now that so many contracts had official seals on them, it really couldn't prove that the Princess Regent knew about this matter. Lu Shiyan secretly snuck into the prison to see the Princess Regent.
His mother had originally not eaten or drunk, but seeing her son, tears of heartache streamed down her face. She stated that she had not engaged in any illegal activities. Lu Shiyan had never doubted his mother. He instructed his mother to try hard to live, as he would soon find evidence. After seeing her son, the Princess Regent finally picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. Steward Zhao was in urgent need of money for turnover.
Lu Shiyan gave his subordinates an idea. Before long, the steward heard news that he could quietly stamp the official seal on a land deed and then secretly sell a manor to exchange for money. Steward Zhao began to feel tempted. He had previously secretly carved a replica of the Princess Regent's seal. As long as he could stamp it on the land deed, he would be able to obtain a large amount of silver.
Lu Shiyan quietly snuck into the archive room and found a corner of Zhao Chong's clothes with the character "é•¿" written on it. This should have been a bloodstain, but it seemed to have more than just the smell of blood. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Lu Shiyan worried that Shen Zhen was in danger, so he risked his life to go to Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. The two met and immediately hugged each other.
Shen Zhen was full of worry for Lu Shiyan. Lu Shiyan comforted her not to worry, saying that he had now found the suspect and was luring the snake out of its hole. Shen Ran arrived and instructed Lu Shiyan that since he had feelings for Shen Zhen, he should not involve her in danger. Lu Shiyan hastily said goodbye and, upon leaving Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, was immediately chased by several people. The assassins' blades aimed for vital spots.
Fortunately, Lu Shiyan was skilled in martial arts, and Yang Zong also provided timely assistance. They managed to escape successfully. Shen Ran felt extremely guilty for having just reprimanded Lu Shiyan. She knew that Lu Shiyan was a person of noble character, but she was also incredibly worried about her sister and couldn't just ignore it.
Her father enlightened her, telling her not to be too harsh on herself, as everyone has their own destiny, and also told Shen Ran not to dwell on the past and be unable to move on. With her father's guidance, Shen Ran felt much clearer in her heart, so she went to visit Zhou Shu'an. Zhou Shu'an was very happy to hear that Shen Ran had come. Previously, Shen Ran had never set foot in the Imperial Censorate.
Zhou Shu'an excitedly tidied his clothes immediately and also asked his subordinate if he looked presentable. Shen Ran had come to deliver medicine. Zhou Shu'an looked at her with eyes full of vitality. Lu Shiyan brought the blood-stained cloth piece with writing on it to Fu Man. Fu Man was skilled in various traditional Chinese medicines and quickly re-washed the blood piece with the character using hot water and a solvent.
The character "é•¿" on it soon turned into the character "è¾°". Everyone was greatly astonished. Zhao Chong had written the character with his own blood before he died, clearly intending to leave behind evidence. The character "è¾°" was one of the characters used in a prince's given name. This made the situation even more confusing and the power behind it even more formidable.
