Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Episode 20 Recap
> Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Recap
Cao Xuanxuan guessed that Lord Zhai had sent the letter to inquire about the Yan family, and it was overheard by Fu Miao. Upon learning the serious consequences of the matter, Fu Miao quickly fled and assumed a new identity in Zhao Family Village to escape the danger. However, he ultimately could not escape his fate.
Cao Xuanxuan asked Guo Zijie if similar cases had occurred in other provinces in recent years because she suspected that Zhou Qin was not only acting in Yan City. Zhou Shaoliang recalled that most of the people who attended Zhou Qin's banquet had mysteriously died, and many cases remained unsolved. Even when cases were solved, they were often related to vendettas. Zhou Shaoliang also found this strange but initially thought it was just a coincidence.
He felt deeply saddened, not expecting his teacher to have become this way. Cao Xuanxuan told Zhou Shaoliang that the teacher he saw now was not the same respected person from before. On the outside, he looked the same, but inside, he had already become someone else. With the truth revealed, He Chun suggested that they should directly kill Zhou Qin. However, Zhou Qin must have strong allies by his side.
Guo Zijie learned that Prince Su would be arriving soon, but Zhou Qin would certainly be on high alert, making it difficult to approach Prince Su. Zhou Shaoliang volunteered to help and brought a few people to meet with Prince Su. However, Zhou Shaoliang’s actions were quickly noticed by Zhou Qin. As soon as he returned home, Zhou Qin discovered the truth and had Zhou Shaoliang arrested, preparing to execute both him and Cao Xuanxuan.
Meanwhile, Cao Xuanxuan and the others had already arrived at the sacrificial ceremony, ready to hide. However, Cao Xuanxuan had sent Sun Weiyan to handle another task and was not with the others. Guo Zijie explained the entire case to Prince Su, who became furious upon hearing it. He immediately ordered people to arrest Zhou Qin and bring him back to the capital after the sacrificial ceremony.
Cao Xuanxuan had already figured out that Zhou Qin’s plan had been disrupted, so Zhou Qin had no choice but to take preemptive action with those who had been prepared in advance. Prince Su was having a meal with the group when he shared that the Emperor had become increasingly wary of Zhou Qin in recent years. If not for Prince Su's efforts to oppose him, Zhou Qin would have controlled the entire court by now.
Moreover, Prince Su revealed that he knew Guo Zijie’s father, and that Guo Zijie’s position as county official had been arranged by Prince Su in secret, not purchased with money. This visit to Yan City had also been arranged by Guo Zijie’s father. In the prison, Zhou Shaoliang heard the soldiers outside shouting slogans, realizing that his teacher was about to take action. Suddenly, He Chun felt very unwell. At this moment, Zhou Qin appeared with his men.
Prince Su intended to arrest Zhou Qin, but all of his men were subdued. Zhou Qin felt confident of victory. Following Cao Xuanxuan’s instructions, Sun Weiyan and a group of officials who supported Guo Zijie rescued Zhou Shaoliang from the prison. After escaping through a secret passage, they used Cao Xuanxuan’s plan to create a loudspeaker.
Zhou Qin, thinking victory was assured, arrogantly declared that the current Emperor was not worthy of his responsibility and that he would take the throne himself. Just as he was boasting, he suddenly felt a strange sense of discomfort and heard the noise outside. Zhou Qin thought that many people had arrived. To protect himself, Zhou Qin took Guo Zijie hostage and fled. It turned out that it was Sun Weiyan who had caused the commotion outside.
At this point, Sun Weiyan also realized that Zhou Qin had been the one who had targeted his father. Everyone was captured and thrown into the prison. Inside, Guo Zijie felt that he had dragged Cao Xuanxuan into this situation and had failed to anticipate Zhou Qin’s scheme. Prince Su had already set up spies and planted them in case he couldn’t get information from them. The spies would immediately report back to the capital, exposing Zhou Qin’s rebellious intentions.
Despite the risks, Prince Su put his own safety aside for the sake of the people, and everyone admired his selflessness. Zhou Qin ordered the soldiers to collect iron tools and various knives from the townspeople, creating panic throughout Yan City. The citizens, fearing for their safety, went to find Guo Zijie to seek justice, but they were all controlled by Zhou Qin’s men.
