Yongan Dream Episode 23 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Under the moonlight, Zhou Shu'an held the jade pendant, thinking of someone. Lu Shiyan walked over and comforted Zhou Shu'an, telling him not to worry too much, good fortune attends the worthy. He knew from the first time he saw him that he would be boundless in the future. The Emperor's coughing and wheezing grew more severe, and his physical condition was not as good as before.
Zhou Shu'an paid his respects to the Emperor as usual, and then reported that based on the existing evidence, the Eldest Princess had indeed done something despicable. The Empress deliberately put on a pathetic appearance, saying the Eldest Princess should not be so foolish, and seeing the Emperor was weak, she also thoughtfully suggested letting the Sixth Prince accompany the Crown Prince for prayer again. The Emperor agreed.
Xu Yiqing went to Master Ge's residence to investigate, and indeed there was something wrong with the clothes. Hearing footsteps outside the door, Xu Yiqing immediately fled through the window, but she had obtained a certificate of private iron ore purchase from Master Ge, which was written with the name "Zhao Chong". Zhou Shu'an rescued Lu Shiyan and then sealed the information.
The Empress still thought Pang Hu had eliminated Lu Shiyan and began to gloat, feeling everything was under control. She then told her plan to a few confidante ministers, but spies were already in place around them. Late at night, several ministers gathered to plot defection, and were all controlled by Zhou Shu'an's guards. Fu Man finally collected the herbs and brought them back in time. She gave the warm medicinal soup to Shen Ran.
Fu Man diagnosed that Shen Ran could be saved! Everyone was overjoyed, especially Zhou Shu'an, who was practically crying with joy. From then on, he took care of her by the bed without ever removing his clothes. The prayer ceremony was about to begin tomorrow. The night before, Zhou Shu'an held Shen Ran's hand, hoping she would wake up soon.
He didn't know what danger he might encounter tomorrow and wanted to leave a letter for Shen Ran, but he felt it was not very auspicious. While feeling sad, Shen Ran's hand suddenly moved a few times, and she finally opened her eyes. Lu Shiyan went to great lengths to get Shen Zhen's bracelet back again. Seeing the long-lost bracelet, Shen Zhen was very happy.
Everything was developing in a good direction, and she hoped everything would go smoothly for them in the future as well. In the morning, the Empress personally handed the prepared clothes to the Sixth Prince to change into, claiming they were scented with special spices. The Sixth Prince was truly naive, and even said he would definitely help his older brother complete the prayer ceremony early today.
When it was time to light the incense, as soon as the Crown Prince picked up the lit incense stick, flocks of crows flew directly towards him. The Crown Prince became dizzy and fainted directly onto the ground. The Sixth Prince helped the Crown Prince while continuously flapping his sleeves to drive the crows away. The smell on the Sixth Prince's clothes made the crows avoid him, circling once before quickly flying away.
Xu Yiqing immediately extinguished the lit incense nearby. On the scene, only the Sixth Prince was not attacked by the crows. He began to understand what was going on with the smell on his clothes. In the palace, the Empress diligently served the Emperor and even personally fed him the medicinal soup.
Hearing the eunuch hastily report the strange phenomenon that occurred during the prayer ceremony, she deliberately claimed that the common people were saying the Sixth Prince was a symbol of auspiciousness, a chosen one. The Empress thought her plan was flawless, but the Sixth Prince stood out to question his mother, asking if the events at the prayer ceremony were designed by her. A son exposing his mother's conspiracy was truly dramatic.
The Empress instructed the Sixth Prince not to panic. She said she had now controlled the entire palace, and the medicinal soup she just fed the Emperor was poisoned. The throne would soon be theirs! The Crown Prince walked out from the inner chamber, greatly surprising the Empress. She had ordered her subordinates to poison the Crown Prince's tea, and did not expect him to be completely unharmed now.
Poor Empress, brilliant for a moment, but unaware that the Emperor had already learned of her plot the previous night and made preparations in advance. Now Su Heng had secretly stationed tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the front lines inside the palace, ready to be deployed at any time. Now that the overall situation was decided, the Empress remained stubborn and unrepentant. The Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to handle the matter.
The Sixth Prince, for the sake of his mother, took responsibility for all the crimes and knelt down, continuously begging for mercy. Hundred Fragrance Pavilion suddenly caught fire, with plumes of black smoke billowing from the entrance. Lu Shiyan immediately rushed over to save Shen Zhen. Everyone began to fetch water to extinguish the fire. Just then, Lu Shiyan fainted heavily onto the ground. Shen Zhen helped him up and found that her hands, upon touching Lu Shiyan, were covered in fresh blood.
