Episode 36 recap: He Lian Xin launched an attack against the Prime Minister.
When He Lian Xin and the others arrived, they were deeply saddened. He Lian Xin ordered the execution of Mu Tian Shu, who shouted that the He family had betrayed him. The Fifth Young Master expressed that he never expected the Fourth Young Master to do such things and that he could no longer walk the same path as him in the future.
The Fourth Young Master and his group came to pressure He Lian Xin, believing that his position as the prince was also unstable. If they were to become the prince, they would ensure the safety of themselves and their loved ones. Unexpectedly, the generals under Mu Tian Shu's command came forward and remained loyal to He Lian Xin.
The Fourth Young Master and his group were extremely surprised. They mentioned that He Lian Xin had already ordered the execution of Mu Tian Shu, and these generals stated that it was Mu Tian Shu's fate. It turned out that a servant of Lady Yao had delivered a letter written by her to Mu Tian Shu. Lady Yao had never blamed He Lian Xin and hoped that Mu Tian Shu would continue to assist him.
The servant expressed his hatred towards He Lian Xin for causing Lady Yao's death. Therefore, he didn't want to deliver the letter to Mu Tian Shu but ended up causing Mu Tian Shu to commit a grave offense. Mu Tian Shu came to find He Lian Xin, hoping that He Lian Xin would execute him.
Mu Tian Shu acknowledged that he committed an unforgivable crime. If He Lian Xin didn't order his execution, he would lose his reputation in front of the people and let them down. Mu Tian Shu also mentioned his decision to follow He Lian Xin in the past. Although it pained He Lian Xin, he agreed.
The Fourth Young Master also didn't expect things to turn out this way and took all the blame upon himself. Luo Qing Lian also arrived but the Fourth Young Master lied. If he was truly the mastermind behind these actions, he was asked when it started and how much money was seized, and where the money was kept.
The Fourth Young Master couldn't provide an answer but still insisted that he was responsible. The Fourth Lady came to see He Lian Xin and brought all the evidence, stating that she was the one responsible for everything and had no connection to the Fourth Young Master. She hoped that He Lian Xin would spare his life and was willing to die in his place.
He Lian Xin didn't come to meet the Fourth Lady, but he issued an order granting her request.
The legitimate wife came to see the Fourth Lady and expressed that she now understands. Without Qu Liang, there would be no Fang family. She was previously influenced by the Fourth Lady's instigation and ended up sacrificing her own brother. Mu Tian Shu stated that he would go to find He Lian Xin and clarify everything, and he would step down from his position as the royal consort.
The Fourth Lady drank poisoned wine and closed her eyes. He Lian Xin removed Lv Bei Yi's lowly status and wanted to appoint him as the Left Chancellor. However, Lv Bei Yi refused, which surprised He Lian Xin. He said that he had been busy his whole life for this purpose. Lv Bei Yi expressed that he had always thought there would be time for companionship, but now he realized it was too late.
Mu Tian Shu came to find He Lian Xin and explained everything, hoping that He Lian Xin would depose him. However, Luo Qing Lian disagreed, saying that everyone has their own obsessions. It is because they couldn't let go of their obsessions that they suffered. She didn't have any obsessions, and that was her fortune.
Luo Qing Lian felt that the position of the royal consort was too elevated. If she were to become the royal consort, she would forget her original intentions. Someone came to report that the Prime Minister was leading troops to attack Qu Liang. He Lian Xin stated that his obsession was Qu Liang, and he wanted to make this place peaceful and prosperous. He Lian Xin issued a decree to attack the Prime Minister, and the people came forward to support him.
The Emperor also learned about this matter, and those around him wondered what the He family would be like after all these years. The Emperor said that regardless of how many years had passed, he trusted them.
