A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 26

Two months later, Zhang Ping returned to the capital, but he was discovered by the Jinwu Guard as soon as he entered the capital. Fortunately, Chen Tiao protected him and was not arrested. Zhang Ping wanted to discuss revenge with Lan Jue, but Chen Cho only cared about Zhang Ping's safety, so he just wanted to send Zhang Ping out of the city at dawn.

In Lan Jue's dream, he killed the queen mother with revenge, but he also dreamed that the whole country was in chaos because of the death of the queen mother, and more people were displaced. Lan Jue, who woke up, remembered his father's teachings when he was young, and thought about how to avenge his father all night facing his father's tablet. Zhang Ping sneaked away while Chen Cho was asleep, and he sent a letter to Lan Jue while no one was paying attention on the street, agreeing that the two would meet in Guiyifang tomorrow. After Chen Zhao woke up, he found that Zhang Ping had left. Seeing Zhang Ping’s favorite food and messages for him, Zhang Ping said in his heart that there were some things he had to do. It was always Chen Zhao who took care of himself more. Now I made a delicious meal by myself, and hope that Chen Choo will add more meals in the future, so please cherish it.

The next day, Lan Jue brought people to Guiyifang, where many refugees gathered, and Zhang Ping mingled among the refugees to avoid the officers and soldiers' pursuit. The two avoided the people around them and found a room to talk. Zhang Ping said that he had found out that Gu Qingzhang was the prince who was dropped by the queen mother. Lan Jue said that Gu Qingzhang had been frank about this matter. Although Lan Jue knew that the Empress Dowager had a deep hatred with them, but now Gu Qingzhang is eager for revenge, completely disregarding the lives of innocent people. If he detonates the situation at the grand ceremony, it will cause turmoil in the court at least, and chaos in the world at worst.

Now that Gu Qingzhang has been planning for many years to make the queen mother fall from the peak of power at the Qianqiuyi ceremony, it is difficult for them to stop Gu Qingzhang. Lan Jue thinks that the only way at this time is to go to the Hanyuan Palace to inform the queen mother of this matter, let her cancel the ceremony, and stop Gu Qingzhang action. But in this way, the queen mother will definitely kill them both. Comparing the two, Lan Jue decided to deal with the gunpowder first and stabilize the situation. If she can live until the Holy Majesty returns, she will try to punish the Queen Mother and avenge the wronged dead.

The next day, Zhang Ping sneaked into Hanyuan Hall under the guise of Gu Qingzhang's apprentice, and he revealed Gu Qingzhang's identity to the Queen Mother; while Lan Jue tried to drag Gu Qingzhang to find out his plan. Lan Jue found Gu Qingzhang, and confessed that the days when he was drinking and talking with his friends ten years ago were his happiest times. Now he asked Gu Qingzhang if he drank poisonous wine for him back then. His biological mother drank poisonous wine in despair. Maybe it was God's will that he survived, and then he decided to take revenge. Lan Jue gave Gu Qingzhang a piece of writing written by her friend after leaving without saying goodbye to Gu Qingzhang, expressing her willingness to take revenge with him.

Lan Jue wanted to continue to inquire about Gu Qingzhang's revenge plan. At this time, someone came to report to Gu Qingzhang that someone pretended to be his apprentice and entered Hanyuan Hall. Gu Qingzhang came to Hanyuan Hall, directly revealed Zhang Ping's childhood identity, and recalled the good times of childhood with Zhang Ping. But now everything that was good in childhood is gone, and the instigator of everything is the Queen Mother. Gu Qingzhang said that he wants the Queen Mother to be punished most severely. Zhang Ping did not approve of Gu Qingzhang's actions, but Gu Qingzhang said that Zhang Ping grew up carefree because of his mother and master, but he escaped by accident while reading on the mountain behind the holy lake, but when he heard the loud noise and returned to All the villagers in the village had already died. Then he heard that Xuanji brought people to find the boy with the epiphyllum headdress, and he knew that these people were here to kill him. He hid the epiphyllum headdress on the body of a clansman of the same age, and then managed to survive. After ten years of hardships and obstacles, he returned to the capital, only to find that the person who wanted him to die turned out to be his own mother.

Gu Qingzhang gave Zhang Ping a dagger and asked him to kill the Queen Mother to avenge his mother and master. But Zhang Ping did not choose to do this. He believed that hatred cannot be cured with hatred, and everything should be over now. Gu Qingzhang controlled Zhang Ping to kill the Queen Mother. At this time, Lan Jue came, and Gu Qingzhang asked him to choose. What was surprising was that Lan Jue claimed that Zhang Ping had assassinated the Queen Mother and ordered someone to take her down.
