Episode 30: Liu Yan knows the mastermind behind the scenes
Liu Chen and Shen Jinghong were chatting together. Shen Jinghong mentioned the Enyin System to Liu Chen. He believed that ordinary people could only stay in place for the rest of their lives without the protection of the Enyin System. He also told Liu Chen that the aristocratic family wanted to form a large profit network in the court through marriage, and also mentioned many disadvantages of the aristocratic family.
Liu Chen immediately decided that if the aristocratic family was not eradicated, there would be endless troubles. Mu Zhuohua gave Liu Yan a bath with potion. She looked at the scars on Liu Yan’s back. She knew that Liu Yan was probably not going through hell. Liu Yan patted her hand and comforted her before she passed. Mu Zhuohua and Liu Yan stood in the pavilion. Mu Zhuohua looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and imagined their happy life in the future.
Mu Zhuohua and Liu Yan went out to eat together, Mu Zhuohua was afraid that Liu Yan would not be full and kept feeding him some food, the aunt of the inn saw that the two were so affectionate, she must have been newly married not long ago. During the meal, I listened to the storyteller in the inn talking about the heroic deeds of King Ding. Mu Zhuohua asked him how he did it. Liu Yan told her the scene of his battle at that time.
Mu Zhuohua felt that Liu Yan was worthy of using soldiers like a god God of War. She asked Liu Yan whether he would use this against her in the future. Liu Yan said that he was weak and couldn’t take care of himself. How could he treat her like this? Zhimo called Guo Juli out. He gave Juli a dessert made of papaya and wanted to confess his love to her, but Juli had eaten it all over his forehead.
When Liu Yan was sleeping, he dreamed of what the Queen Mother said to him. He woke up instantly. He told Mu Zhuohua that he had dreamed about the day of the palace change. He was so sad and angry at the time that he had no energy to think about it. Now that he thought about it, he realized that something was wrong.
He told Mu Zhuohua what he didn’t understand. He felt that it must be one person who secretly changed the edict in the Juma River battle. He thought of the eunuch who had been accompanying Liu Ju and committed suicide after Liu Ju’s death. He must know Shameful things. Mu Zhuohua heard what Liu Yan meant, he wanted to return to Dingjing.
Liu Yan told her that Dingjing was unstable and that he could not just sit idly by and do nothing. He must get to the bottom of these things. Under Shen Jinghong’s instigation, Liu Chen wanted to lay off the family as soon as possible. In the lobby, many people opposed Liu Chen’s decision. Shen Jinghong’s few words made them speechless.
Liu Chen also very much agreed with Shen Jinghong He told the ministers that he had made up his mind and asked them not to waste their words. When they were arguing, Liu Yan came back. Liu Chen told him that someone wanted to be his master, which kept him awake at night. Liu Yan’s few words made them wonder what to do, and Liu Chen could see that they seemed to understand the righteousness, but they were actually planning for themselves.
Liu Chen said that the main problem in this matter was his kindness, Liu Yan quickly shook his head at him, and Liu Chen stopped talking. After going to court, Liu Yan told Liu Chen that now was not a good time. Liu Chen told him that Shen Jinghong told him what the family had done, and he felt that the family should be eradicated as soon as possible. Liu Yan heard what Shen Jinghong said, He suddenly had doubts in his mind.
Liu Yan went to visit the queen’s mother and he felt that she was not the only real murderer in the battle of Jumahe. He hoped that the queen mother could tell him who the other real murderer was. Liu Yan found that the queen mother could not speak, so he brought a pen and paper and asked her to write another real murderer, and the queen mother bit his arm.
Back home, Liu Yan described to Mu Zhuohua the scene of visiting the Queen Mother. She saw the bite mark on Liu Yan’s arm, and she thought that Princess Roujia had the same bite mark on her arm. She told Liu Yan that this was the Queen Mother passing him clues to the real murderer, and she told Liu Yan about the tooth mark on Princess Roujia’s arm. Liu Yan and Liu Yan also guessed everything Princess Roujia did.
He Xin also came to report Liu Yan. The eunuchs around Liu Ju were also related to Princess Roujia, so the secret exchange of the edict was also explained. Mu Zhuohua thought about whether Shen Jinghong’s love for Roujia might also be used. She hoped that Shen Jinghong would not end up like Xue Xiaotang.
