Melody of Golden Age 长乐曲 Episode 13

Yan Xing was quite dissatisfied with Shen Du's move to bring Yunque back home. The next morning, the maid told Yunque that she was behaving like a mistress and wanted to get involved in the accounts of the house, but the housekeeper refused because of the rules, and she could only read them if she was the mistress of the house. When the housekeeper encounters Yan Xing by chance, his attitude suddenly changes. In fact, this is to prompt Yunque to serve tea to Yan Xing as a sign of respect. Skylark is smart and understands immediately. This move makes Yan Xing feel mixed emotions.

While Yan Xing was sipping tea, Yunque suddenly mentioned that Shen Du asked her to take over the ledger, implying that she had full authority to take over the affairs of the mansion. After Yan Xing heard this, instead of being angry, he handed all the subsequent account books to Yunque. This move made the housekeeper mistakenly think that Yan Xing was unhappy and wanted to return to his parents' family. In fact, Yan Xing went to the Ministry of Punishment to handle official business. Shen Du did not return for days, and his whereabouts became a mystery, even Jing Lin couldn't figure it out.

On the other side, while Yan Xing and Lu Chuicui were waiting for the exam, Yan Xing went to Hongwen Hall to look for Pan Chi, but learned that although he was listed to take the exam, he had not arrived yet. Just when Yan Xing was disappointed, Pan Chi appeared and firmly stated that he would not give up the exam. Yan Xing is busy with the case, but Pan Chi reminds her that outside of the files, clues may be found in people's words, especially the words of madmen, which cannot be fully trusted.

At the same time, Shen Du re-examined Yan Kuo's notes and found signs of forgery, which made him even more convinced of Yan Kuo's innocence. Yan Xing was inspired by Pan Chi and found another way. Shen Du accidentally met Yan Xing and was talking to Pan Chi. Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly took Yan Xing back home. When Yunque was about to ask for the account book, the housekeeper was chatting aside and mentioned that Shen Du and Yan Xing were inseparable. Yan Xing calmly told Yunque that he would eventually reconcile with Shen Du, and Yunque realized that the two of them were a perfect match. Shen Du insisted that Yan Xing return home to live, and Yan Xing promised to return home as soon as the case was concluded without causing any trouble. Inadvertently, Shen Du's attitude towards Yan Xing quietly changed.

On the day of the final exam, the situation in the exam room suddenly changed. Someone was exposed on the spot for cheating, but Pan Chi completed the answer sheet steadily. Although he ranked at the bottom, he unexpectedly won the favor of the Empress Dowager. The Queen Mother not only personally reviewed Pan Chi's article, but also asked Xu Wan to interpret its profound meaning. In the face of the examiner's questioning about off-topic questions, the Queen Mother spoke highly of it and believed that it was unique. Xu Wan responded in silence, thinking secretly in her heart, knowing that this test was just a test, and there was an undercurrent surging behind it, so she had to wait for the opportunity.

At the same time, the old case between Chen Shoujie and Chen Huomo stirred up trouble again. Yan Xing realized that he might have missed something, but during a night check, he was raided by men in black. Fortunately, Shen Du showed up in time to save him, but the men in black were ruthless. Although Shen Du was bravely wounded, he still fought hard to repel the enemy. Yan Xing was worried about Shen Du's injury and discovered that although the hidden weapon had the same purpose as the one encountered in the temple, it added to the mystery.

On the other side, Lu Chuichui was in danger on his way back, and the injured man in black wanted to do something evil. At the critical moment, the masked man came to Luo Zhi to rescue him and took him out of danger. Lai Luozhi's identity is secret, and Lu Chuichui mistakenly thinks that he is a righteous man in the Jianghu, and urges him not to evade his guilt. However, Lu Chuichui was pure and kind-hearted, and he only put water lanterns to pray for Lai Luozhi, hoping that he would change his mind. Lai Luozhi was moved by his innocence. He couldn't help crying when he recalled the regrets of the past. He knew that things in the world are unpredictable and cannot be changed by human beings.

As night fell, Yan Xing held the ointment in his hand, walked lightly to Shen Du's bed, and carefully applied the medicine to him. Shen Du stared at Yan Xing and couldn't help himself. He wanted to kiss her, but Yan Xing didn't refuse. Instead, he was distracted by the slight pain in Shen Du's wound. Shen Du took the opportunity to act coquettishly and begged Yan Xing for a bandage. Yan Xing shyly agreed and then went back to his room to rest in shame.

The man in black came to Luo Zhi to secretly order his subordinates, vowing to keep Lu Chui Chui safe, while at the same time scorning his opponent's incompetence. Early the next morning, Yan Xing wanted to call Shen Du to have a meal, but Shen Du pretended to be seriously injured and difficult to get up, teasing Yan Xing. Yan Xing had no choice but to serve the soup and rice himself. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not Yan Xing, but a maid. Later, Yan Xing visited his eldest sister Yan Caiwei and Han Shiyuan. He was delighted to hear that the two were about to get married, and his heart was filled with joy and blessings.
