Episode 20

Changsheng knew that the challenge the next day would be difficult and Lu Jing needed to recharge his batteries, so he did not stay long.Unexpectedly, Rujing caught a glimpse of the two talking and mistakenly thought that they were intimate before they were married. This was inappropriate and left angrily.Immediately, Changsheng said goodbye to Lu Jing and did not stay together.The next day, the emperor heard that Lu Jing had been humiliated and was furious. He also heard that the King of Qin had forcibly requisitioned grain, and the situation became tense.Lu Ke proposed to recall Lu Jing.

Changsheng learned that the food and grass had not arrived and was eager to help, but was blocked by Rujing.Chang Sheng was not willing to be outdone, so as the mistress of Prince Qin's palace, he ordered people to take Ru Jing away.The father-in-law summoned Lu Jing back to the palace according to the order. Lu Wan warned him in a low voice the danger of resisting the order and advised him to return to the palace first.At this time, Changsheng arrived with Zhao Huaibi's letter.

The farmers had doubts about Changsheng's identity, but seeing that he firmly supported Lu Jing, their doubts were slightly reduced.Lu Jing resolutely resisted the order and insisted on collecting grain.Lu Wan deployed his government troops to confront the Imperial Forest Army.Huaishan failed to persuade Rujing to leave, so he left on his own.Rujing was so anxious that he wanted to save Lu Jing in the imperial study.In the hall, everyone knelt down to wait for the emperor to abdicate, and the atmosphere was solemn.

After careful consideration, King Tang adopted Lü Ke's strategy, imprisoned Lü Jing for careful consideration, and promised to return the food.Changsheng was willing to accompany Lu Jing to suffer the punishment, but King Tang only ordered him to stay in the Qin Palace to reflect on his mistakes.Shensi prison is extremely harsh, and Lu Jing's fate hangs in the balance due to the locust plague.

Changsheng couldn't sleep at night and was worried.While Ge'er and Lu Ke celebrated, they also reminded that the root cause needs to be eliminated quickly.Rujing begged Changsheng to go to see the saint, but after being rejected, he spoke fiercely, and Changsheng was shaken in his heart.

Lu Hou fanned the flames, and King Tang angrily rebuked him.Lu Ke suggested reducing his power and demoting him, but King Tang reluctantly agreed.Changsheng knew that it was not appropriate to express support at this time, lest he anger the Sacred Heart.

Lu Ke cleverly used Rujing's feelings for Lu Jing, intending to use the opportunity to deepen the emperor's suspicion.The ministers' pleas for mercy made King Tang more determined to assign Lu Jing.Chu Ge provokes Changsheng and induces him to leave the palace against the order. Shenxing notices and asks for help from the princess palace.

Lu Ke misled King Tang and ordered the pursuit of Chang Sheng and Lu Jing.On a rainy night, Lu Jing and his party were ambushed, and their lives were on the line.
