Episode 6
The prince was fined and imprisoned for three months.After Emperor Liang dealt with the concubine Yue and the prince, he was quite suspicious of Prince Jing's behavior.He asked King Jing why he forced his way into Zhaoren Palace.When King Jing was in trouble, King Yu, who was instructed by Mei Changsu, arrived in time.He pretended that he had entered the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. He saw the prince bringing foreign ministers into the inner palace, and found out that Nihuang was also in the palace. He noticed something was wrong, so he asked Prince Jing who was passing by to enter Zhaoyang Palace to find out the truth.Emperor Liang knew that King Yu had been keeping a close eye on the prince and believed that what he said was true.King Yu was rewarded for this.Although King Jing had merit in rescuing the princess, he held the prince with a knife and committed the crime above, so the merit and demerit were offset by the fault.
Nihuang thought that Prince Jing was entrusted by Mei Changsu to save her, but Prince Jing denied it.The two of them had doubts, so they went together to ask Meng Zhi.
In the Zhengyang Palace, King Yu and the Queen analyzed the whole incident.King Yu recalled Mei Changsu's guidance to him and overall planning, and felt that Mei Changsu was thoughtful and strategic, which strengthened his determination to take him under his command.
Ni Huang bluntly said that there was an expert behind Meng Zhi's advice, and Meng Zhi, who wanted to hide it, had to admit it.The three analyzed that the biggest winner in this matter was King Yu, who had achieved four goals with one fell swoop.Prince Jing, however, had other ideas. He knew that the real winner was himself! If he risked his life to save him, Nihuang would be grateful and get the support of the Lingnan Mu family.
Prince Jing met with Mei Changsu and asked why Mei Changsu used Nihuang's danger as a stepping stone for his advancement. Mei Changsu could not explain and was in pain.He promised King Jing that he would not touch his bottom line.But he also told Prince Jing with great sincerity that if he wanted to win, he could not just rely on enthusiasm. He must be more ruthless and cautious than the enemy.Good generals and loyal ministers must make use of what should be used, but try to keep it as thorough as possible in order to achieve great things.King Jing said that he could never forget that his best friend was killed by an adulterer, which made Mei Changsu understand.In order to ask Prince Jing to treat him sincerely, Mei Changsu confessed that he already knew Tingsheng's true life experience but had not harmed Prince Jing because of it, thus gaining Prince Jing's full trust.
In the Ningguo Houfu, Zhuo Qingyao secretly reported to Xie Yu that when Xia Dong was investigating the Qingguo case, he had discovered that Tianquan Villa was escorting the complaining old couple to Beijing.In order to hide the secret of supporting Dong Palace and maintain his neutral status to the outside world, Xie Yu decided to intercept and kill Xia Dong.
In order to keep track of Mei Changsu's whereabouts, Xie Yu asked Xiao Jingrui to inform him of his needs at any time in the name of caring.His excessive enthusiasm made Xiao Jingrui feel abnormal and extremely depressed.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were relaxing in the suburbs and happened to meet the injured Xia Dong.The two of them teamed up with Xia Dong to fight against the enemy, defeated the killers and captured the leader alive.Xia Dong interrogated the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the leader replied: King Yu.
