Episode 39 recap: Pei Wen Xuan kidnapped the family members of officials for Li Rong.
Li Rong took the imperial seal from the emperor's hand, and Su Rong Qing was also prepared at this time. As it was early morning court, Su Rong Qing had already won over the officials, and they were willing to ally with Su Rong Qing. The eunuch told Li Rong that perhaps the emperor actually trusted her, otherwise he would not have given the imperial seal to Li Rong.
Li Rong stood alone in the court, this was the so-called throne, but after going up, Li Rong only felt the height and coldness. At this time, Rou Fei had brought the fake Su Wang to meet Su Rong Qing, and after the two groups gathered, they kept walking towards the main hall. They originally thought the one standing inside would be the crown prince, so they could kill Li Chuan, but the person inside turned out to be Li Rong. At this moment, Su Rong Qing's troops were already at the gate, and Su Rong Qing said he came to the rescue.
Su Rong Qing originally wanted to send someone to take Li Rong away, but Li Rong said Li Chuan had never come, and Su Rong Qing said he had something to discuss with Li Rong alone, so the others all left first. The officials felt that the crown prince should not have rebelled, so they decided to leave, but Rou Fei still wanted them to wait a little longer, and now sent people to guard the palace gate to prevent outsiders from coming and going at will.
Now the families of the Su and Gu clans have all been controlled by Pei Wen Xuan, and the waiting has been fully prepared. When Li Chuan woke up, he saw Qin Zhen Zhen, who said she was following orders to wait here. Li Chuan hadn't seen Qin Zhen Zhen for a long time, and he was very relieved to see her here.
Li Chuan removed the mask from Qin Zhen Zhen's face and gently brushed her hair. Now that Li Rong is in the palace, Qin Zhen Zhen no longer needs to wear a mask, and they can go home together. Li Rong and Su Rong Qing drank tea together, and Su Rong Qing kept Li Rong company as usual, and also asked Li Rong if the high position was comfortable.
Su Rong Qing said he could let Li Chuan live with a new identity. Li Rong did not respond to Su Rong Qing's words, as the northern expedition was indeed Li Chuan's decision, but the current situation was not entirely Li Chuan's doing alone.
Su Rong Qing was standing up for all the Su clan warriors, and Li Rong knew that Su Rong Qing was actually afraid to admit that they were born with guilt. He told Su Rong Qing not to deceive himself any longer. Li Rong still wanted to get Su Rong Qing to turn back, but Su Rong Qing said he couldn't go back.
This was their last tea together. Li Rong personally poured a cup of tea for Su Rong Qing. At this time, Pei Wen Xuan's troops had arrived, and Su Rong Qing learned that the king's men wanted to kidnap Li Rong, but were blocked by Su Rong Qing. Li Rong said she was willing to leave with them, as she didn't have enough people now.
Li Rong planned to go out, and Su Rong Qing still wanted to stop her, but Li Rong had made up her mind.
At this moment, Pei Wen Xuan had already infiltrated the city alone. Pei Wen Xuan stated that he had taken their family members hostage, and he only wanted Li Rong to come to him safely.
In this way, Pei Wen Xuan step by step approached Li Rong, even though the guards beside him were pointing their swords at him. At this time, Li Chuan had already arrived at the city gate, and the soldiers rushed in at his command. Rou Fei and Hua Le had reached the palace gate outside, and the Emperor scornfully laughed.
Pei Wen Xuan came to Li Rong's side. Li Rong didn't expect Pei Wen Xuan to come back, and he said that he had returned to take Li Rong home. Pei Wen Xuan took out the hairpin of a minister's family member and said that he had come to resolve the situation. He stated that the crown prince was about to advance, and if they were willing to surrender now, there might still be a chance of survival.
Pei Wen Xuan also said that Su Rong Qing could not represent the Su family, and the Su family's father had already been controlled by Su Rong Qing. He said it was not too late to surrender. Pei Wen Xuan felt that the only way now was to abolish the election system and promote the civil service examination system. Su Rong Qing was still arguing, and he said he would give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
Pei Wen Xuan was willing to do anything for Li Rong. Pei Wen Xuan locked Li Rong in a room, and then the two sides began an intense battle. Li Rong wanted to make Su Rong Qing reconsider, as he could also be a new Su Rong Qing.
Su Rong Qing ignored Li Rong and left. Pei Wen Xuan was still fighting the soldiers at the door, and Li Rong felt afraid, with tears uncontrollably falling. The other ministers were preparing to leave the palace, but they were blocked by Rou Fei's brother. At this time, the royal family's reinforcements also arrived, and Shang Guan Ya was anxious, but unexpectedly, Su Rong Hua came and took Shang Guan Ya with him on the carriage.
