Yongan Dream Episode 21 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Late at night, Steward Zhao took out the Princess Regent's seal from his sleeve, just as he was about to stamp a contract, and was caught red-handed. According to Steward Zhao, Pang Long found him, gave him a large sum of money, and asked him to stamp the contract for the iron mine. Steward Zhao did not dare to use the Princess Regent's real seal but forged one instead.
With the evidence and the person caught, Lu Shiyan ordered his subordinates to tie up Steward Zhao and send him to Zhou Shu'an. Fearing that Steward Zhao might bite his tongue and commit suicide, Yang Zong tied a cloth strip over his mouth. After several days of tracking, Su Heng and Xu Yiqing finally discovered Pang Long's whereabouts.
They saw several boxes of forged weapons at the dock and heard Pang Long say he needed to find Lu Shiyan as soon as possible so they could quickly convict the Princess Regent. It was only then that Su Heng finally realized he had misunderstood Lu Shiyan. Now, he actively helps Lu Shiyan, and he and Xu Yiqing told Zhou Shu'an what they had seen with their own eyes, hoping to alleviate some of their past guilt.
Pang Hu chased Lu Shiyan to a dilapidated hut. Xu Yiqing happened to be bringing Su Heng to see Lu Shiyan just then. A fierce battle was about to begin. The strength on both sides was disparate. Just as Lu Shiyan was about to be captured, Zhou Shu'an fortunately arrived with reinforcements. Pang Hu fled in a panic. Lu Shiyan and Zhou Shu'an met again. Su Heng quickly explained that Lu Shiyan was not the murderer.
At this, Zhou Shu'an merely smiled faintly. In fact, he had always known that Lu Shiyan was innocent and had helped him considerably in secret. The last time Lu Shiyan was chased by Pang Hu's men late at night, someone broke in and rescued him. Lu Shiyan recognized that person's martial arts skills; it was the sword-bearing guard by Zhou Shu'an's side. Lu Shiyan took out the cleansed bloodstain with the character.
Seeing how extensive this matter was, Zhou Shu'an suggested that Su Heng immediately return to the front line to mobilize military power and return to the palace, speculating that the palace might soon face a great catastrophe. Su Heng began packing his luggage to leave. Xu Yiqing reluctantly came to see him off. Su Heng smiled brightly and said he had figured it out; as long as Shen Zhen was happy.
He also said he would return soon to spar with her again. They hadn't known each other before fighting, but now they had developed a great deal of camaraderie through sparring. Shen Zhen was full of confidence in Lu Shiyan and even started making a sachet for the Princess Regent. Fu Man saw Shen Zhen stuffing the sachet full of spices and couldn't help but smile, telling her not to burst the sachet.
Shen Zhen repaid the Princess Regent's kindness with virtue. She also personally made warm knee pads and a brand new comforter. To avoid being discovered, she specifically covered the new comforter with the outer cover of a prison quilt. In prison, the Princess Regent saw Lu Shiyan and Shen Zhen who had come to visit and was moved to tears. Shen Zhen brought the comforter she had personally prepared for the Princess Regent.
True feelings are revealed in times of crisis. Now that the Duke Zhenguo's mansion was in deep trouble, many people avoided it, but Shen Zhen provided timely help. The Princess Regent frankly stated that once the Duke Zhenguo's mansion cleared its name in the future, she would hold a grand wedding for them. Xu Yiqing would often go to Hundred Fragrance Pavilion to chat with Shen Ran in her free time.
This time, they mentioned an itinerant sorcerer named Master Ge. They heard that he would be performing rituals in a certain place in a few days, and that he possessed extraordinary spiritual power, capable of granting wishes. They also wanted to go and soak up some spiritual power to pray for blessings. This time, Shen Ran was finally persuaded. Shen Ran, Xu Yiqing, and Fu Man agreed to set off together.
On that day, the carriage Shen Ran and the others were riding in broke down. Just then, Zhou Shu'an passed by and invited the three of them to ride in his carriage. Sitting in the same carriage, Xu Yiqing deliberately had Shen Ran and Zhou Shu'an sit together. The atmosphere in the air was very ambiguous. Zhou Shu'an frankly said that the woman he loved was kind and virtuous, always considering others and never thinking of herself.
Shen Ran heard all these words. Upon receiving Zhou Shu'an's praise, her cheeks couldn't help but flush. It started raining on the road. Zhou Shu'an took the group to a post house to take shelter from the rain. Suddenly, a group of masked assassins arrived. They were all carrying cold weapons and were clearly targeting Zhou Shu'an. Xu Yiqing, being skilled in martial arts, immediately rushed to the front.
Shen Ran saw someone trying to kill Zhou Shu'an and, without hesitation, used her body to block the sword, getting stabbed twice in the chest. Zhou Shu'an was greatly alarmed. He tightly held Shen Ran, blood splattering. Zhou Shu'an was extremely heartbroken.
