Episode 27 recap: The times have changed, and Pei Wen Xuan is no longer the anxious and unsettled youth he once was, and he himself is no longer purely good, but also has many dirty and
As Li Rong said, he can accommodate both black and white in his eyes, and Pei Wen Xuan also does not care, and is willing to become the light in Li Rong's sight, rather than the shadow
Shang Guan Ya and Su Rong Qing stood hand in hand on the mountain top, watching the morning light, and their hearts were in sync. The next day, when they woke up, it was time for the official confirmation of the official transfers in the court. Su Rong Hua wanted to persuade his brother, but Su Rong Qing directly said that he had no way back.
Li Rong and Su Rong Qing hid from the rain in the pavilion, taking the opportunity to make their attitudes clear, and also hoping that he could face the road ahead. Rou Fei falsely accused Pei Wen Xuan and Li Rong of having feelings for each other, and Su Rong Qing suggested that if the emperor did not believe it, he could definitely try it.
Just as the emperor was about to order Su Rong Qing to be imprisoned, he suddenly heard the eunuch report that Su Rong Hua had rushed into the hall. Li Rong knew that Su Rong Hua had come to take the blame for his brother, so the testimony accusing Su Rong Qing would appear to have loopholes, and the situation between the two sides would become even.
Just as Li Rong was about to speak, Su Rong Hua asked the emperor to dismiss everyone. The two went to the cool pavilion, and the heavy rain was pouring down. Li Rong looked at Su Rong Hua and sighed at the deep brotherly love. She couldn't help but ask if Su Rong Qing would feel guilty, after all, he was made the sacrifice in this struggle.
Su Rong Qing bitterly smiled and said that he had reached the end of the road, and Li Rong might not be able to understand his feelings.
Li Rong didn't ask again, recalling that in the previous life, he was harmed by Su Rong Qing, but he didn't expect Su Rong Qing to show a guilty expression now, saying that he would never hurt Li Rong.
At this time, Pei Wen Xuan came to pick up Li Rong with an umbrella, and met Su Rong Qing. They greeted each other briefly and then left in different directions. Their gazes met in the rain, as if the resentment of many years was awakened in that moment.
In the imperial study, Su Rong Qing took responsibility for all the crimes, admitting that he had used his identity as the teacher of Su Wang to instigate Rou Fei to frame the crown prince and Princess Pinglehe, in order to establish a foothold in the court and consolidate the position of the Su family's legitimate son.
The emperor considered for a long time, and finally only removed Su Rong Qing from his official position, without imprisoning him.
Su Rong Hua watched his brother walk out of the imperial study, mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Su Rong Qing had chosen his own path, and he decided not to interfere anymore, but to silently guard his brother.
As for Su Rong Qing, he stood in the rain, looking towards the direction of the capital city, his heart filled with confusion and loneliness.
On the other side, Shang Guan Ya found Su Rong Hua and invited him to watch the sunrise together. The two of them climbed the mountain and watched the sunrise from the mountaintop, confessing their feelings to each other.
As for Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan, they returned to the princess's manor. Li Rong sighed at how things have changed, and Pei Wen Xuan promised to be the light in her life.
The next day, Su Rong Qing passed a message to Rou Fei, asking her to pin all the crimes on Su Rong Hua.
In the court, Su Rong Qing suddenly resigned from his position as the Minister of Justice, and the emperor readily agreed. To rebuild the Zaoshi Hall, the emperor decided to establish a small inner cabinet to handle state affairs, with Su's father, Pei Li Ming, and Shang Guan Xu as the main candidates.
Rou Fei followed the plan and pleaded guilty to the emperor, hinting at the private affair between Pei Wen Xuan and Li Rong.
After hearing this, the emperor ordered the two to divorce. Although Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan were reluctant, they still complied with the order. Pei Wen Xuan moved out of the princess's manor, and Li Rong pretended to chase after him in tears.
Su Rong Hua submitted his resignation at the Surveillance Bureau, and Li Rong felt that this might be a relief for him.
Su Rong Hua asked Li Rong not to resent Su Rong Qing, and Li Rong expressed his understanding.
Soon after, Li Chuan came to the princess's manor and told Li Rong that the entire capital was gossiping about the princess's deep affection for her consort, but the consort was heartless and disloyal.
Li Rong knew that this was just a performance staged by Rou Fei to gain the emperor's trust.
Rou Fei reaffirmed her loyalty to the emperor, and the emperor drank the calming potion she had brought without verifying its contents. Later, the empress found the emperor and demanded that the crown prince's wife cannot be from the Shanguan family, and the emperor agreed to her request.
Due to the incident with Su Rong Qing, the emperor reduced the budget of the Surveillance Bureau and required Chongzhou to pay half of its taxes to support the northern army's expenses.
To raise funds, Li Rong arranged a meeting with Cui Yu Lang, but was followed by Pei Wen Xuan. In the end, they met at the reed pavilion in the back mountain, but Pei Wen Xuan still followed and was enraged when he saw Cui Yu Lang.
