Joy of Life: Season 2 庆余年第二季 Episode 21

The queen heard that the impostor Yang Wanli was Li Chengqian's protégé, and that Li Chengqian foolishly followed Fan Xian to complain. She was very anxious, so she sent someone to call Li Chengqian to ask why, only to find out that Li Chengqian had been framed. The queen learned that Emperor Qing had handed over the cases of favoritism and fraud in the past years to Fan Xian. She was afraid of Fan Xian, but she couldn't say it clearly. Li Chengqian regarded Fan Xian as his best partner.

Fan Xian asked Wang Qinian to be responsible for revising the list. Wang Qinian thought that it would be enough to erase the imposter and replace him with Yang Wanli. Unexpectedly, Fan Xian asked him to copy a new list. Wang Qinian looked at the dense list and complained in his heart. Deng Ziyue was making sarcastic remarks on the side, and Wang Qinian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but did not dare to disobey Fan Xian's order, so he had to copy it, fearing that he would have to start over again if he made a mistake.

Fan Xian sent someone to take Guo Youzhi to the prison of the Inspection Institute. Guo Baokun accompanied Guo Youzhi in the prison, fearing that Fan Xian would cross the river and demolish the bridge to kill Guo Youzhi and silence him. Fan Xian came to the prison to ask Guo Youzhi about the Chunwei fraud case and promised to release him as soon as possible. Guo Baokun was relieved. Guo Youzhi provided Fan Xian with important clues and asked him to start investigating the victims of the previous Chunwei scientific examination.

Lin Ruofu sent Yuan Hongdao to invite Fan Xian. Lin Dabao missed Fan Xian very much and clamored to go with Yuan Hongdao. Lin Dabao cheered happily when he saw Fan Xian. Yuan Hongdao left on the pretext of going to do something. Before leaving, he reminded Fan Xian to protect Dabao. Fan Xian agreed wholeheartedly, and he went home with Lin Dabao without thinking too much.

Lin Ruofu heard that Emperor Qing handed over the case of favoritism and fraud in Chunwei to Fan Xian. He knew that Emperor Qing intended to cultivate Fan Xian and wanted Fan Xian to use Chunwei to achieve political achievements and prepare for taking over the inner treasury. However, the case involved a wide range of people and a large number of people. If Fan Xian is not careful, he will become the target of public criticism. Lin Ruofu weighed and decided to make a sacrifice and let Fan Xian operate on him. Fan Xian was extremely grateful to Lin Ruofu.

Lin Ruofu wanted to play chess with Yuan Hongdao, only to find out that he had gone to do some work and had not returned. Lin Ruofu suspected that Yuan Hongdao had an affair, and even brought up the scandal between Fan Xian and Haitang Duoduo. Fan Xian denied it and kept explaining that he and Haitang Duoduo were involved. It doesn't matter. Wang Qinian spent a lot of effort to copy the list. He was so tired that his back ached. Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh at him.

Fan Xian was puzzled as to why Emperor Qing handed him the Chunwei favoritism case. Wang Qinian felt that Emperor Qing wanted to train Fan Xian into a literary leader. Chen Pingping found the evidence and witnesses of Chunwei's fraud case through the powerful strength of the forensic institute. Emperor Qing asked him to hand these over to Fan Xian to facilitate Fan Xian's investigation. Both Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing had high hopes for Fan Xian, but they had different ideas. Although Fan Xian was Emperor Qing's biological son, he wanted to find the temple through Fan Xian to consolidate the imperial power. Chen Pingping wanted to investigate the evidence left by Ye Qingmei. The court passed it on to Fan Xian.

Emperor Qing asked Chen Pingping to throw an arrow. Chen Pingping missed nine times in a row. Emperor Qing asked him to throw an arrow again, and this time he had to hit it. Chen Pingping had no choice but to put the arrow into the tube when Emperor Qing was not paying attention, and took the opportunity to shoot the arrow. Emperor Qing expressed his loyalty, and Emperor Qing was very satisfied. He just wanted to show that he had supreme royal power in front of Chen Pingping. After Chen Pingping left, he smashed the quiver with one palm.

Today is the day when the results are released in the spring. The candidates came to the entrance of the Examination Yuan early. In the past, the Ministry of Rites released the results in the spring, but this year it was done by the Examination Yuan. The candidates were talking among themselves in private, and they were right--Yang Wanli had been impersonated, and Fan Xian personally went to Emperor Qing to file a petition to seek justice for Yang Wanli, so the release of the results was postponed.

The staff of the Examination and Examination Institute hung up the list. The candidates who were on the top list cheered and those who failed the list sighed and beat their chests. Yang Wanli, Hou Jichang, and Cheng Jialin all put their names on the gold medal list, but Shi Chanli was the only one who missed Sun Shan. Shi Chanli was very depressed. Yang Wanli and Hou Jichang gave him good words and encouraged him to take the exam again next year. Hou Jichang and Yang Wanli discussed asking Cheng Jialin to visit Fan Xian together, and Shi Chanli also wanted to go together.

Because Cheng Jialin was injured while looking at the rankings and could not get off the ground, Yang Wanli, Hou Jichang and Shi Chanli came to Fan's Mansion together. They wanted to worship Fan Xian as their teacher and were willing to work hard for Fan Xian. Fan Xian gave Hou Jichang and Yang Wanli The apprenticeship ceremony was prepared, with the eight characters "be a good person and be a good official" written on it, and the two of them left happily.

Fan Xian left Shi Chanli behind and took out the notice issued by the government on the arrest of prisoners in Shijia. Only then did Shi Chanli find out that his home had been burned down and that all his family members had been burned to death. Shi Chanli was so sad that he wished he could live. He left his hometown early because he went to Beijing to take the exam. Unexpectedly, his hometown suffered such a disaster and Shi Chanli was homeless.

He Zongwei accompanied a woman wearing sackcloth and mourning to complain to Fan Xian. It was this woman that Yuan Hongdao went to see secretly that day, and Fan Xian had no idea about it. A woman reported Lin Ruofu for cheating and murder. Her husband was named on the Chunwei Science Examination Gold List, but was replaced by Lin Ruofu's protégé. Afterwards, Lin Ruofu sent someone to brutally kill her husband. He Zongwei claimed to have given up Chunwei in order to uphold justice for the candidates.

Fan Xian didn't know what to do for a while, so he called Yan Bingyun to discuss countermeasures. Yan Bingyun was worried that Fan Xian was showing favoritism and wanted to take over Lin Ruofu's fraud and murder case. Fan Xian insisted on investigating it personally, so he rushed directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Lin Ruofu. . At the same time, Yuan Hongdao came to a restaurant facing the street and asked the waiter to open the window facing the river.
