Episode 31
On the way to deliver medicine, Wei Zheng and his party encountered a heavy ambush by the Xuanjing Division and suffered heavy casualties. In order to save his brothers, Wei Zheng put down his weapons and was captured.
Meng Zhi was going to accompany Emperor Liang to the imperial mausoleum to keep vigil. When he was leaving, he saw Mei Changsu lying unconscious in bed. He was very worried and asked about Mei Changsu's true condition. Li and Zhen were unable to explain clearly and just told him not to worry.
King Yu asked the queen for help and banned Concubine Jing for a few days.According to King Yu's plan, the queen searched out Huan Gecao from Concubine Jing's medicine cabinet, and she and the imperial doctor who had colluded with her long ago took Concubine Jing away on the grounds that the herb was poisonous and harmful to the dragon's body, and sealed the Zhiluo Palace.Xiaoxin, the maid serving Concubine Jing, escaped from the palace under the arrangement of Prince Yu and successfully entered Prince Jing's palace to report the news.Lie Zhanying arranged for Qi Meng to take Xiaoxin to the imperial mausoleum to ask Emperor Liang for help.
Under Dr. Yan's careful treatment, Mei Changsu, who had been sleeping for three days, finally passed the most dangerous moment. However, his body was still weak and he still had to rest for several days.Li Gang and Zhen Ping, who were well aware of the sect master's condition, received news of Wei Zheng's arrest and Concubine Jing's ban one after another, but they did not inform Mei Changsu.
Qi Meng and Xiaoxin rushed towards the imperial mausoleum, but were stopped halfway by people sent by King Yu to pretend to be Jiang Zuo Alliance.The visitor said that the sect leader asked them to go back without sending a letter, but to use a bitter trick to make the emperor punish the queen.In order to convince Qi Meng of this matter, he further explained that Concubine Jing was of high rank, but she was just wronged, and it was impossible for the Queen to kill her.
Tong Lu was captured by Qin Banruo.Qin Banruo saw that torture could not sway Tong Lu, so he used his fourth sister to threaten him. Tong Lu, who was deeply in love, finally collapsed and confessed to Miaoyinfang and Mr. Thirteen.King Yu immediately sent people to seal up Miaoyinfang. Fortunately, Mr. Thirteen had made preparations in advance, and King Yu found nothing.This incident was seen by Gong Yu.
Mr. Thirteen and Zhen Ping decided to rob Wei Zheng at the city gate. Although they were short of manpower, they had to make a hasty attempt.At this time, Gong Yu came to report, and combined with Tong Lu's unusual whereabouts, they speculated that Tong Lu had rebelled.
King Yu said that his plan was well prepared and asked the queen to let Concubine Jing go.
