The Double 墨雨云间 Episode 39

Zhao Ke, who was stunned, woke up and heard Jiang Yunxing talking to himself. When he learned that Wanning had kidnapped Yang to threaten him, he had to do as Wanning asked. King Cheng asked Wan Ning not to touch Xue Fangfei for the time being. He wanted to use Xue Fangfei to seduce Xiao Heng and seize his weakness. Wan Ning believes that Xiao Heng should not be distracted at this time. King Cheng is worried that Xiao Heng knows the cause of Xiao Minghan's death and wants to deal with Xiao Heng as soon as possible to avoid affecting major events and causing trouble. Wan Ning promised Cheng Wang that as long as Xiao Heng came to rescue Xue Fangfei, she would not let him leave alive.

Xiao Heng was laying out a defensive line in the palace. Zhao Ke hurried over and told Xiao Heng about Jiang Yunxing. Xiao Heng was worried that Xue Fangfei was in danger, so he planned to go to the princess mansion to find someone in person, so that Lu Ji and others could be prepared. General Xiao appeared and believed that Xiao Heng, as the coach, should not leave the position. He was willing to save Xue Fangfei personally.

Shen Yurong asked the maid to deliver stew to Wan Ning, deliberately delaying time to find Xue Fangfei. Wan Ning was pleased, thinking that Shen Yurong was enlightened, so she drank the stew readily. Shen Yurong asked Xue Fangfei to be rescued. Xue Fangfei sympathized with Wan Ning's experience and accused Shen Yurong of failing her. Shen Yurong was emotional and thought that Wan Ning forced him to do everything. Xue Fangfei mocked him for being afraid of death and pretended to agree to leave with him, but Shen Yurong attacked from the side and knocked Xue Fangfei unconscious.

Wan Ning suddenly vomited blood after drinking the stew. She glanced at the stew bowl and suspected that Shen Yurong had poisoned her. It started to rain heavily. Shen Yurong came out with Xue Fangfei in her arms and saw Wan Ning standing outside the door in the rain. Wan Ning was heartbroken and asked Shen Yurong if she had ever loved her. Shen Yurong told her Cheng Wang's strategy, thinking that she was just a pawn. If someone needed it, she would use it, and if no one needed it, she would give up.

Wan Ning was completely disappointed. She took the hairpin from Shen Yurong from her head and returned it to him. When he was not paying attention, she stabbed the hairpin into her chest twice in a row. She used her last strength to tell Shen Yurong that she would wait for him in hell. Shen Yurong was stunned and watched Wan Ning fall to the ground.

Shen Yurong took Xue Fangfei away. Xue Fangfei woke up but was unable to resist. She accused Shen Yurong of being selfish and ruthless. Shen Yurong thought that he killed Wan Ning in revenge for her. Xue Fangfei hoped that he would commit suicide. Shen Yurong was angered and took out the fish charm to express his intention to kill Xiao Heng.

The dinner was held as usual, with singing and dancing in the hall. Zhang Wei led his troops to guard outside the palace, preparing to listen to King Cheng's orders. Xu Zhi rushed in and presented evidence, accusing Zhang Wei of secretly communicating with the northern border to plot rebellion, and asked the soldiers to capture him. The soldiers were indifferent, but Zhang Wei was proud. He had long known that Xu Zhi was an informant and deliberately made them think that the plan was successful.

Shen Yurong handed Wanning's body to Li Jin. Li Jin thought they were putting on a show and was secretly happy to learn that Wanning was really dead. Shen Yurong asked him to proceed according to King Cheng's original plan and send Wan Ning's body to the main hall.

Shen Yurong asked his men to keep an eye on Xue Fangfei, and he was going to deal with Xiao Heng. General Xiao waited for Shen Yurong to leave and came to rescue Xue Fangfei personally. Lai Biao and others also received the signal to help. After receiving the news, Emperor Hong Xiao prepared to leave with Concubine Li on an excuse, but was deliberately stopped by King Cheng. In order to allow Emperor Hong Xiao to leave smoothly, Concubine Li stayed to comfort King Cheng.

Li Jin ran to the main hall holding Wan Ning's body and made a loud noise that Emperor Hong Xiao had killed Wan Ning. When King Cheng saw Wan Ning's body, he had no time to feel sentimental and said that he would do justice for heaven. A minister who didn't believe it stood up and reprimanded King Cheng for talking nonsense, so King Cheng killed him with a sword. Li Zhongnan took the lead to follow King Cheng, and others had to bow their heads and obey.

The man who became the king sent a signal, and Shen Yurong took out the fish charm and forced Yang Qing, the general of the Longwu Army, to open the city gate and let the man who became the king in. Yang Qing hesitated but did not dare to disobey. Chu Lan's people rushed in, and Wen Ji and Situ Jiuyue worked together to deal with them. After a period of fighting, Chu Lan was captured alive.

Lu Ji led Emperor Hong Xiao away from the West Palace Gate, but was blocked by Li Zhongnan's people. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanbai led his troops and appeared in time. King Cheng wanted to capture Emperor Hong Xiao, but Xiao Heng stopped him, and a fight broke out between the two sides. Jiang Yunbai escorted Emperor Hong Xiao to the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Heng was preparing to lure away the Longwu Army. General Xiao escorted Xue Fangfei to see Xiao Heng. Xue Fangfei planned to help him.

Xiao Heng was besieged downstairs alone by Long Wu's army. Shen Yurong ordered the archers to take position, thinking that Xiao Heng's appearance had stolen Xue Fangfei's heart. Xiao Heng is already prepared. He will only fight to the death in this life, and there is no need to think about surviving.
