Nancheng Banquet Episode 14 Recap
> Nancheng Banquet Recap
Yan Zhangyun blamed himself for not saving the old Qin family members, expressing his irreconcilable differences with Xiao Quan. Fu Xiao, pregnant with the emperor baby, was rewarded with numerous treasures. Overjoyed, she adorned herself with jewelry, intending to flaunt it at the Qianyu Guard.
When the Qianyu Guard learned that Xiao Qiang Zi was a woman, they were shocked, especially that she became the Emperor's woman. Fu Xiao deliberately went to Yan Zhangyun's room, flaunting her jewelry. Yan Zhangyun, drinking alone in his room because of the Qin family incident, misunderstood her intentions, thinking she drank because of him.
He even asked Yan Zhangyun to stay before her ennoblement. When Fu Xiao asked him directly, he answered in his heart that he liked her. However, to keep her safe by the Emperor's side, he told her to recognize her identity. Fu Xiao left in tears. Yan Zhangyun felt inferior, unable even to protect the Qin family, let alone have the right to like her.
Fu Xiao turned her sorrow into food, eating alone, and Dao Ge warned her not to overeat, lest it harm the emperor baby. Fu Xiao deliberately apologized to the Empress, who was angry because Fu Xiao had deceived her, even though she had considered her a friend. To express her apology, Fu Xiao repaired the Empress's handkerchief, which amused the Empress. Feeling Fu Xiao's cold hand, the Empress instructed her attendants to take care of her carefully.
Waking up, Fu Xiao was taken care of by the palace concubines, restricted in everything from eating to walking. Finally, unable to bear it, she asked the Emperor to let her go, and the Emperor made pillows for each month to place on her stomach. He even instructed the imperial physician to say Fu Xiao was pregnant with Nezha.
Xiao Quan, suspecting Yan Zhangyun is Qin Yan, informed Bai Yi, who admitted he had personally killed Qin Yan. Xiao Quan promised to help Bai Yi seize the throne of Nan Guo. The Empress hoped her brother, Xiao Quan, could help Fu Xiao seek an audience with the Empress Dowager, but her brother reluctantly agreed and later arranged for the Empress's maid, Xue Ru, to get rid of the emperor baby.
Fu Xiao couldn't understand how the Empress, who loved the Emperor, could tolerate other women competing for favor. In the middle of the night, a masked woman approached Fu Xiao again. Despite recognizing her as a fellow member, Fu Xiao let her guard down.
However, when the masked woman pulled out a dagger, Fu Xiao fought back, revealing her face. Yan Zhangyun arrived to assist. Xue Ru was caught, claiming she was defending the Empress against Fu Xiao's attempts to vie for favor. The Empress couldn't believe Xue Ru, who grew up with Fu Xiao, could have such thoughts. Yan Zhangyun planned to take her back for interrogation to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but Xue Ru chose to protect Xiao Quan with her life.
The Emperor casually drank tea, and Fu Xiao came to criticize him for thinking about tea again. When Xue Ru died, the Empress was heartbroken, and the eunuch scolded Fu Xiao for not knowing her place. However, the Emperor ordered the eunuch to treat the Crown Prince's mother well.
Fu Xiao immediately wanted to remove her fake belly. The Emperor warned that once the fake pregnancy was exposed, she would undoubtedly die. Fu Xiao planned to fake a fall to get rid of the emperor baby, but when she encountered Xiao Quan, she deliberately fell and blamed him for the pain, shifting the blame to him.
