The Legend of Anle Episode 5 Recap
> The Legend of Anle Recap
Han Ye suddenly appeared, scaring Gu Qishan, who panicked and ran without direction. Ren Anle intentionally broke some wine to make him stumble, and the other students rushed forward to beat him up. At the same time, Huangpu received a severe punishment of thirty lashes and, together with the officials from the Dali Temple, rang the Qinglong Bell, seeking justice. Emperor Jia Chang, Han Zhongyuan, had to approve a thorough investigation of the corruption case.
When the news reached the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, Gu Yunnian became extremely anxious, and Madam Gu could not believe that a mere female bandit would risk offending the powerful marquis just to climb onto the Crown Prince's dragon bed. The official trial by the Three Ministries soon began, and Ren Anle craftily led the proceedings, successfully exposing Gu Qishan's guilt.
Gu Qishan, relying on his status as the marquis's legitimate son, made arrogant remarks in the hall until Wu Yue, who had "returned from the dead," accused Gu Qishan of leaking the exam questions. Ren Anle played the fool and cleverly led Gu Qishan to confess. Indeed, Gu Qishan no longer offered any defense, and following the laws of Dajing, Han Ye sentenced him to be executed after autumn.
Upon hearing this judgment, the crowd and even the students cheered. Wen Shuo watched the spectacle unfold, but he couldn't help but wonder why the evidence appeared so conveniently. Yuan Qin explained it, and he suddenly understood. At the same time, Gu Yunnian hurriedly went to the palace to meet the Emperor. Han Zhongyuan admonished Gu Yunnian and curbed his unruly behavior, promising to handle the matter properly.
Ren Anle couldn't wait to show off to Han Ye, who now saw that she was not the foolish female bandit people claimed she was; she was clever and pretended to be foolish. Later, Han Ye went to have tea and chat with Luo Mingxi, hoping he could help investigate Ren Anle's true intentions. It seemed that her purpose for coming to the capital was not just to become the Crown Princess; there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.
Han Zhongyuan decided to handle it properly by changing the execution to exile, sparing Gu Qishan from death. Gu Yunnian was completely dissatisfied with this outcome and vowed not to let Ren Anle off easily. Han Ye took Ren Anle to Lingxiang Tower, hoping she would confide in him and maintain their trust in each other. However, Ren Anle still pretended to be ignorant and insisted on becoming the Crown Princess.
Now, more and more people were betting on Ren Anle. She directly raised the stakes, and Han Ye, wanting to help her establish herself in the capital, did not stop her. During this time, Han Zhongyuan summoned Han Ye to the palace to explain the change in the punishment. After all, Marquis Gu Yunnian held significant military power and had been in control of the southern regions for many years. If he was truly angered, it could lead to unimaginable chaos. Han Zhongyuan advised Han Ye not to be too anxious and to wait for the right time to act.
When Ren Anle heard that her old friend, Princess Anle, was returning to the capital, she didn't want her to be involved, but she was still a member of the Han family. As expected, Gu Yunnian carried out his revenge, and that night, several assassins sneaked into Ren Anle's residence to assassinate her. Ren Anle's skills were exceptional, and she managed to subdue the assassins with a few chess pieces, and Yuan Shu wielded a sword to drive them away.
Wen Shuo heard the news and rushed to check on Yuan Qin's safety, also taking the chance to see if Ren Anle was injured. Ren Anle deliberately sighed that no one cared about her, but Wen Shuo explained that Han Ye cared a great deal about her, as evidenced by him sending skilled guard Jian Song to protect her in secret. But Yuan Qin almost mistook Jian Song for an assassin, as she was interested in testing his martial arts skills. In the end, Jian Song had to withdraw.
Luo Mingxi used the pretext of investigating Ren Anle to inform Han Ye of her motives for coming to the capital. Since she had aspirations of serving the country, why not give her an opportunity and appreciate her talents? Ren Anle sent Yuan Shu and Yuan Qin to inform Han Ye to meet her at Lingxiang Tower. She had reserved a private room and assured him that she had prepared a great show for him.
