After watching four episodes in one go, I just want to say that the real king is here.
continues the style of the previous work, with a brisk plot rhythm
At the end of the first season, Fan Xian ( Zhang Ruoyun ) was struck by a sword and fell into a pool of blood.
"Is Fan Xian dead?"
This is probably the biggest suspense left in the first season.
html The 18 people are definitely not dead, but how to "fake death" is the key.
At the beginning of the second season, Fan Xian was told to fake his death.
Senior Brother from the Third Division gave Fan Xian a "magic sword". The chicken blood packets in the scabbard can be used to create the illusion that the body has been pierced, just in case of emergency. Unexpectedly, it was actually used.
Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun (played by Wu Xingjian) colluded to put on such a drama. After that, Yan Bingyun suggested that Fan Xian be cremated, so that it would be less difficult to communicate later.
Wang Qinian (Tian Yu) had already dug a hole under the fire for Fan Xian to escape, and threw half a pig in to serve as Fan Xian's remains, making Xie Bian (played by Zhao Zhenting) believe it.
"Uncles in Kyoto" were all sad and angry when they learned about Fan Xian's death. However, after learning that Yan Bingyun stabbed Fan Xian to death, they felt that the matter was strange and guessed that it was Fan Xian's plan.
But pretending to be dead to deceive the emperor is a capital crime. Why did Fan Xian make such a fuss?
If he made it clear, his life would be saved.
Fan Xian learned of the conspiracy between the second prince Li Chengze ( Liu Duanduan) and the eldest princess Li Yunrui ( Li Xiaoran). The second prince threatened Fan Xian with the orders of Fan Xian's relatives and friends to surrender to him.
had no choice but to escape by feigning death.
But these words must be known to Emperor Qing (Chen Daoming), and it will be up to see how Emperor Qing deals with Fan Xian.
Fan Xian asked Yan Bingyun to lead the delegation to continue on their way. He and Wang Qinian rushed back to Kyoto first. As soon as they entered the city, they found that everyone on the street was mourning him.
News of his death spread throughout Kyoto so early. Fan Xian guessed that it was the work of the good Li Chengze, who wanted to prove his crime of fake death to deceive the emperor and use the hands of Emperor Qing to eradicate himself.
Meeting the Holy Emperor is Fan Xian's only chance to save his life.
As soon as he sneaked into the palace, he met Chen Pingping (played by Wu Gang). With Chen Pingping's help, Fan Xian finally met Emperor Qing. He repeatedly defended his fake death and revealed the crime of the second prince and the eldest princess colluding with outsiders.
Emperor Qing was lying on the bed with his back to him. Listening to Fan Xian's "sweet words", he finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted "Get out".
Fan Xian knew that Emperor Qing would not kill him for the time being, so he stood up and left.
His life was saved, and he had more important things to do - find the Teng family's mother and son.
At that time, the second prince threatened the lives of Fan Xian's relatives and friends. After returning to Kyoto, everyone else was safe and sound. Only the mother and son of the Teng family could not be found. Maybe the person was in the hands of the second prince.
Fan Xian decided to go all out to rescue the Teng family mother and son, but he never expected that a greater crisis was yet to come -
