Episode 23: An army against the general

With everyone's help and guidance, Yang Ying successfully counterattacked an army. When she returned to the post house, she was very excited. Looking back, she worried whether Emperor An would disappear because of this.Ruyi comforted Yang Ying and claimed that he would not. Emperor An liked to advance and retreat, and everyone was happy for Yang Ying.Ning Yuanzhou noticed that Ruyi was injured. After seeing Yang Ying go back to rest, he went to find Ruyi to ask about the situation.Ruyijie pretended to be another identity and went out to inquire about the situation. She didn't pay much attention to her injuries. Ning Yuanzhou felt very distressed when she heard that, so he immediately gave her medicine.Ruyi smiled helplessly and said that she was about to go to Zhu Yiwei. Ning Yuanzhou did not stop her, but she was worried and told her to be careful in everything.Ruyi agreed, saying that she was just going to check on Deng Hui's situation, and Ning Yuanzhou also asked her to take Mi Die with her so that he could know her safety by then.At the same time in Changqing Hou Mansion, Li Tongguang drove away the people who served him, and then went to a secret room to look at the portrait of the master he missed day and night.

Emperor An still had doubts about what Li Tongguang reported, so he came to Deng Hui to ask about Zhu Yiwei's assassination and Zhu Yiwei's collusion with the Beipan people.Deng Hui explained, but Emperor An didn't want to hear it. He asked Deng Hui to find out the matter immediately, and said that he could not let his private soldiers have different ideas.Here, Jialing's spy in the palace heard what Emperor An asked Deng Hui to investigate, and immediately passed on the news.In order to prevent Deng Hui from finding out what he had done, Jialing asked people to claim that he was going to investigate the sudden death of Zhuji, hoping to take this opportunity to disappear from Deng Hui.

On the other side, Ruyi pretended to be the servant of Bingbi Department and successfully entered Zhu Yiwei's inner office. After finding out that the roster he left behind had been destroyed, he felt that his guess was indeed correct.In the post house, Han Dongming came to convey the order, asking Yang Ying to go to Yong'an Temple to meet Emperor Wu immediately.In order to make more preparations, Yang Ying asked Han Dongming to wait for a while. She revealed that she had not met Wu Emperor several times and was worried that the other party would not recognize her.Ning Yuanzhou also thought that Emperor An wanted to test Yang Ying this time, so he gave a ring from Liu Daotang's old items and told her that Yuan Lu had tampered with it. If Yang Ying felt something was wrong, he could activate the mechanism to make Emperor Wu temporarily comatose., and then asked to stay and take care of Emperor Wu, and then everything could be explained.

On the left side of Zhu Yiwei, Ruyi pretended to be panicked and ran to Chen Kui as a subordinate of Jialing to report the assassination in He County.Chen Kui deliberately let others go out, and then took Ruyi and asked her true identity. Ruyi backhand controlled Chen Kui and revealed his identity as Ren Xin. He also asked him about his cooperation with Beipan and the assassination of Changqing Hou..Chen Kui complained about his helplessness and cooperated with the eldest prince, but in the end he also revealed the reason for betraying Zhu Yiwei.

In Yong'an Temple, as soon as Yang Ying went in to meet Emperor Wu, she saw someone dressed in the same dress as herself, and revealed what Ning Yuanzhou had told him.When Emperor Wu saw the old ring from Liudaotang, he also admitted that Yang Ying was his younger brother and asked Han Dongming and others to go out.In order to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping, Yang Ying took out the crickets she brought and gave him the thing to convey the message.Emperor Wu was very pleased at first, but when he heard about King Danyang's situation, he became excited instantly, feeling that King Danyang would not allow him to return to Wu safely.

But Emperor Wu only cared about his return to Wu Kingdom and didn't care at all about the soldiers lost in the battle, which made Yang Ying feel a little chilled.Before leaving, Yang Ying asked Wu Guo to write an edict in person to complain about Liu Daotang Tiandao Chai Ming and others. However, Emperor Wu felt that Ning Yuanzhou was the only person who could save him, so he refused to write the edict, worried thatHe would not save himself because of this, and said that he would only write the edict as long as he returned to Wu State smoothly.As soon as these words came out, Yang Ying felt even more uncomfortable.

Ning Yuanzhou learned about Emperor Wu's actions and was very disappointed with him, thinking how could nothing happen in the bloody battle at Tianmen Pass.The same goes for Yang Ying. Fortunately, she is not like Emperor Wu, which makes Ning Yuanzhou a little lucky.​
