Wen Yu,

it's not that I'm scared.

But I have to pretend to be the Eldest Princess.

I can't die.

So, you might as well

stay in the room and protect me.

It's good for both you and me.

How... How can I sleep like this?

Umm...

I'll loosen it.

Then you can sleep on the ground.

On the ground?

Don't worry.

I'll put a quilt on the ground.

Thank you, then.

We're friends.

Don't say thank you.

I'm not sure

if anything will happen tonight.

I'm really worried about my life.

I haven't seen my brother come back safely.

I can't die.

Wen Yu, I'm getting to sleep.

♪Clouds slowly float across the sky♪

Actually,

you're a nice guy.

You're my friend now.

There in Beishuo,

I'll be good to you.

♪You and I both know it♪

♪In this world, we stay side by side♪

(I shouldn't have got you involved.)

♪My eyes are red from missing you♪

♪Tonight, I hope the moonlight will♪

♪Kiss your eyebrows♪

Mr. Xingyi.

- Mr. Xingyi. - What?

Mr. Xingyi,

your clothes...

How about I get you

some clean clothes?

You can get washed

before you see your sister.

I won't.

You know what?

I'll show my sister

how you guys treated me.

Mr. Xingyi, you get us wrong.

We didn't mean to leave you alone.

It was just an emergency.

I left some soldiers there,

- searching for you. - You know what?

Don't find excuses.

I came back by myself!

You didn't help at all!

I had a narrow escape.

I nearly died.

I'll say no more.

Yueling, Yueling!

Mr. Xingyi.

- Yueling! - Mr. Xingyi.

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery)

Yueling.

Yueling.

- Xingyi? - Yueling!

Yueling.

You're finally back.

Oh,

how is your injury?

How is it?

It's all right now.

You have no idea

how miserable I was in the past dozen days.

In the first few days, I was poisoned.

I crawled through the forest on my knees.

In the latter days, I was crippled.

I had to walk with a cane.

Yueling,

it was so cold.

I had nothing to eat, either.

Yueling,

I really...

Sorry, Xingyi.

I failed to protect you.

Never mind.

Did they give you the antidote?

They gave me the antidote?

Not at all!

They discarded me at first.

If I hadn't convinced the female assassin

with my smart head

and got the antidote,

I would have been dead!

Mr. Xingyi,

I've been explaining this all the way here.

I didn't mean to discard you.

I was just in a hurry to return.

How could you still find excuses?

How could you?

You know what? They're so unreliable.

Yueling, let's leave here.

Yueling.

(Pleasant and Harmonious) When we found Mr. Xingyi,

we ran into assassins of the Roufeng Sect.

Later, the reinforcements

scared them away.

We caught only two of them.

But they held some toxins in the mouth

and killed themselves.

The Roufeng Sect

nearly sent all their assassins.

They must have been fully prepared.

They even had the route map

of the escort.

The biggest sect, indeed.

They appeared to assassinate the princess.

But actually, they were against me.

The one behind them

must be a politician.

A politician?

That explains.

The scout we sent Dongyu for Yueling...

Any word from him?

Not yet.

Your Highness,

do you not trust Yueling?

Keep a close eye on her and her brother.

But if they need anything,

help them as much as you can.

Oh,

don't let them run away.

I won't.

I'll take my leave.

Yueling, the food here is so delicious.

Xingyi,

they're friendly to the princess, right?

These are imperial dishes.

Yueling,

you don't want to stay here

and get married, do you?

I can't leave now.

If I do,

Beishuo will put pressure on Dongyu.

I'm afraid there will be a war again.

Then the escape of our eldest sister

will be exposed.

That's right.

It's thoughtful of you, Yueling.

Yes, of course.

Let's just wait and see.

There are weird local rules.

I guess I won't be summoned lately.

Get out of the way.

The Prime Minister is back.

Isn't he suppressing a rebellion in Yongzhou?

- How come he's back so soon? - What happened?

Brother,

I escorted the Eldest Princess of Dongyu

to her mansion.

(Hall of Politics) Soon, she can come and see you.

Brother,

I heard

the North Prince was assassinated

on his way back.

Many of his men were dead or injured.

Even the Princess of Dongyu had a narrow escape

before she arrived.

She nearly died of starvation.

You're hyper-informed.

But I nearly died of starvation, too.

Why haven't you cared about me?

You look all right now.

And the Eldest Princess of Dongyu matters most.

You should focus on the most important thing.

Brother,

I think

the North Prince is to blame

for the victims of the escort.

He deserves to be punished

as a warning.

Just because I care about the most important thing,

I'm advising you

to stop instructing our brother.

I'm not instructing him.

I'm asking for your punishment.

Zhou Shiyu, don't set me against His Majesty.

Set you against His Highness?

I think that's what you're doing.

With a narrow escape,

I finally returned to the Capital City.

Then someone couldn't wait

to send his maid to poison me.

Poison?

I wonder who...

Oh, Brother.

I think

the Eldest Princess of Dongyu should be greatly awarded

to calm her down from the scary trip.

You're right, Zhixuan.

I also heard

about the assassination thing.

The Princess of Dongyu didn't die.

She was lucky enough to survive.

She is here to get married.

The marriage between the two states is a happy event.

In this case,

the North Prince will be exempted

from his careless protection.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

- How could this be? - Yeah.

This is inappropriate.

He can't be redeemed!

The Prime Minister is back.

Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister is back.

- Prime Minister. - Oh, Prime Minister.

Your Majesty, I rushed back to report the success.

You won't blame me for offending you,

will you, Your Majesty?

You're an important official.

And during the suppression in Yongzhou,

you did really hard work.

Your holding a sword in the court

doesn't seem to be wrong.

Your Majesty,

the Prime Minister is meritorious

for the suppression in Yongzhou.

How about Your Majesty follows Emperor Xuan of Xichuan

to allow important officials to carry a sword in the court?

Yeah.

The Prime Minister is meritorious enough to do this.

Minister Liu has a point.

Then, I will...

Thank you for understanding, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

I heard

the Eldest Princess of Dongyu was sent here

to get married

an become one of your consorts.

Dongyu is a small state of minority.

Their Eldest Princess

isn't good enough to marry our emperor.

That's right.

Yeah.

Uncle, are you saying we'll break the engagement

and the alliance between the two states?

Shiyu,

I just said Dongyu was small

and their Eldest Princess

wasn't good enough to marry our emperor.

When did I offer to break the engagement?

And when did I advise

breaking the alliance between the two states?

If you have an idea, Uncle,

feel free to talk.

The Eldest Princess of Dongyu

is a princess after all.

She isn't good enough for His Majesty.

But

she can match

one of our imperial family.

You have a point, Prime Minister.

But I don't think

doing this will reassure Dongyu.

Your Majesty, rest assured.

The diplomat of the Taxila Tribe, Dongyu,

and I had crossed paths.

He will convince the emperor of Dongyu.

Even if the emperor of Dongyu approves,

which one of our imperial family

can be good enough

for the Princess of Dongyu?

Me.

Brother, I'd like to help you.

I heard the Eldest Princess of Dongyu

was the most beautiful lady there.

She should marry me,

the most handsome man in Beishuo.

Umm...

Uncle, what do you think?

Your Majesty,

I think

the North Prince did hard work to get the princess back.

And he isn't married yet.

How about we marry the Princess of Dongyu

to the North Prince?

What do you say, Your Majesty?

- The Prime Minister is so thoughtful. - Yeah.

I don't think I'm good enough for Her Grace.

Yeah. Let me do it.

I'll do it.

All right.

We'll do what the Prime Minister advised.

The Princess of Dongyu will be married to the North Prince

and the wedding will be held.

Good.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm your elder brother.

Don't you disrespect me only because you're the North Prince.

First come, first served.

Even my elder brother can't break the rules.

Zhou Shiyu, just you wait!

In every morning court, the two princes

antagonize each other.

His Majesty is weak

and has no children.

If the reign of the imperial family

falls in the hands of the two foppish princes,

it will be risky.

Luckily, in the court,

the Prime Minister is still in charge.

- Yeah. - If we had to rely on them...

Uncle.

Long time no see.

It's been a long time.

Shiyu,

you've been full of vigor and vitality.

I'd like to congratulate you.

Speaking of this,

thank you for recommending me.

So, the South Prince

failed to marry the most beautiful lady in Dongyu.

Shiyu, you were brave enough

to get rid of the danger,

come back smoothly,

and get the pretty woman.

All right.

I should go.

Your Highness,

all of a sudden,

why do you have to marry the Princess of Dongyu?

Uncle pushed it, obviously.

But why did he ask you to marry Her Grace

instead of His Majesty?

Does he want to give you the power of Dongyu?

He can't be that nice.

I guess he'll do something soon.

Our emperor

has really grown up.

When I was away for the suppression,

he had a private alliance with Dongyu.

I was traveling day and night

and three great horses died

before I stopped him from marrying the Princess of Dongyu.

Prime Minister.

His Majesty has been reigning for three years

within our restriction in the court.

So, after you left the Capital City,

His Majesty negotiated with Dongyu,

trying to get their power to impede us

through marriage.

His Majesty wants to marry the Princess of Dongyu

without any fear of disappointing us.

He's accumulating his own power.

I don't understand.

(Lin Su, the Prime Minister's counselor) You always fear the North Prince.

Then why did you marry the Princess of Dongyu to him?

If the Princess of Dongyu

successfully marries the North Prince,

he'll easily get the power of Dongyu.

But if the princess

fails to marry the North Prince

and even dies in his mansion,

Zhou Shiyu

will have

a hard time.

Brilliant, Prime Minister.

Really brilliant.

These days,

have our men completely repair

the eastern yard.

By the way,

do some decorations

in the chambers there

according to Dongyu style.

Your Highness,

will you really marry that fake princess?

Whether she's a real or fake princess,

she'll be my real wife after the wedding.

Get used to that early.

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery)

Be careful. Careful.

- Yes. - Yes.

(Catalogue of Gifts)

A decree for Ashina Zhu.

(Royal Decree) His Majesty hereby announced this.

"I hear Ashina Zhu, the Eldest Princess of Dongyu,

behaves elegantly

and remains respectful

with a gentle personality

and a beautiful appearance.

Quite happy to know this,

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery) I decided to relate our two states by marriage.

Zhou Shiyu, the North Prince, is over 20 years old

and he should get married.

He deserves a good girl.

Ashina Zhu, the Eldest Princess,

makes a perfect couple with the North Prince.

I should help them get together.

Hereby, I marry Ashina Zhu to the North Prince.

The wedding will be held in three months on the national day of Beishuo.

All the ceremony things

will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Bureau of Astronomy."

Respect this.

Yueling,

they're totally disrespecting our state.

They modified the engagement.

A princess consort can't be as good as an imperial consort.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah.

I didn't see this coming, too.

If our eldest sister suffered this here,

she wouldn't tell us.

Luckily, she left.

But on the catalogue of gifts,

many more gold, silver, silk, cattle, sheep, and horses

are given to Dongyu.

With so many things,

I don't think our people

will complain too much.

They will not complain.

But I have something to say.

You don't get married.

Yueling, I've heard all about it lately.

The North Prince you're going to marry

isn't a good guy.

Run.

All right.

But we haven't heard from our eldest sister yet.

Forget it.

(Mild Weather and Bright Scenery)

The yard in Beishuo looks fancy.

But compared to our grassland,

it's far inferior.

Yueling!

Yueling!

Yueling, look who is here.

Your Grace.

Qianqian.

Your Grace.

I've finally found you, Your Grace.

You have no idea.

Hardly had I got the Eldest Princess settled...

Hardly had I got the Eldest Princess settled

than I set out for you.

But it was too far away.

I ran into some refugees on my way

and was robbed of every penny I had.

I had a hard trip, too.

I understand you, Qianqian.

Thank you for your hard work, Qianqian.

Come on.

How is my sister?

Princess Ashina Zhu and Diplomat Du Er

have settled down in the northwest tribe

of Dongyu.

That's great.

She can finally marry

the man she loves.

Yeah. You can be relieved, Yueling.

Moreover,

the three of us are back together again.

- We're back together. - Yeah.

Now, what will we do?

Run away.

- Piggy. - Piggy.

- Come. So cute. - Good piggy.

Eat some more.

Come to me.

I'm the most handsome man in Beishuo!

Why can Zhou Shiyu surpass me?

That's right.

Your Highness, you're handsome

and charming.

You're a perfect match for the Princess of Dongyu.

But His Majesty

obeys the Prime Minister in every way.

So, we should stay on friendly terms with him.

We should.

Uncle is temperamental.

I don't dare to mess with him.

Is there any other way

to make me marry the Princess of Dongyu?

Oh.

Your Highness,

if you build a relationship with the princess

before she marries the North Prince

and she asks His Majesty to marry her to you,

maybe there'll be a ray of hope.

It's a good idea.

Mr. Xingyi.

Mr. Xingyi.

Why are you here again?

I've brought you something to eat.

Flower-shaped Goose Cake,

Cheese Cherry,

Sliced Fish in Sauce,

and Roast Quail.

These are the most famous local snacks.

You haven't tasted any, right, Mr. Xingyi?

Don't think I'll forgive you

just for these snacks.

I get it.

But Mr. Xingyi,

are you

going out?

No.

I'm just tidying up the room.

I just... I'm a clean man.

What's the problem?

Nothing.

Who's eating alone?

Yueling,

Lin Mu brought me these snacks.

I want to check how they taste.

If they taste good, I'll bring them to you.

Really?

I'll take my leave, then.

Yueling, everything is packed.

Are we leaving today?

Not now.

We can't leave without a plan

in case we alert them.

Yueling,

we've been in the Capital City

for quite a long time

but have never gone out for fun.

I heard about the nearby House of Romance

which is quite popular.

How about

you take me there to experience it?

Yueling, take me there.

Please take me there.

- Yueling. - Let's go there, then.

Your Highness, Her Grace came out.

At last.

Will we stick to the plan?

- Approved. - Yes.

Chunhua.

Here.

Get me changed.

I'm going to do something serious.

Yes.

Look.

That one is good.

So pretty.

You're gorgeous, girl.

How about you have fun with us?

You must have a death wish!

You've just recovered.

They're mere roaches.

I can take care of them.

You sound arrogant.

Let me teach you how to please a man.

- You have a death wish! - Stop!

Beat him!

What's going on?

What are they doing?

How come they're fighting?

Oh, my ear.

Don't be scared, Miss.

When I'm here,

they won't dare to hurt you.

Gentleman, you have great martial arts.

I certainly do.

I've been practicing martial arts since little.

In the Capital City,

no one can defeat me.

No one can defeat him.

So impressive?

How about I compete with you?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm a strong man.

How can I fight a girl?

Watch this.

Yueling, stop.

Or you may kill him.

How dare you beat...?

Me.

- Young Master. - Yang...

- Young Master. - Yang Xu.

Don't cry, Young Master.

Don't cry.

I thought you were a strong martial artist.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were so weak.

Shall I go to the clinic with you

and then walk you home?

However much I have to pay,

I'll give it to you.

Right.

She...

She even offers some money.

Our young master has something important to do.

We should go.

- Let me walk you. - Hey, don't go.

This local guy is weird.

One moment he was rather hospitable

and the next moment, he became indifferent.

I think

Beishuo men are just weak.

Without martial arts,

he planned to save you.

I think he just had a great wish.

Forget him.

- Let's go to the House of Romance. - All right.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

- Calm down, Your Highness. - Don't be angry, Your Highness.

Your Highness, cool down.

Your Highness, calm down.

Calm down?

Look what you've done!

And you asked me to calm down?

I didn't expect that, either.

Chunhua, Qiuyue, Xiachan, and Dongxue.

- Here. - Here.

Punish him.

- Yes. - Yes.

Your Highness, I...

Oh, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Mercy, Your Highness.

Please spare me.

I didn't know the Princess of Dongyu

could be so tough.

I... I have...

I have another plan, Your Highness.

I still have...

Stop.

Tell me about it.

Come on, Your Highness.

When we fail to get the princess,

we can do something to the North Prince.

Well, tell me.

What can we do to him?

Your Highness.

We can...

Your Highness.

(Invitation)

The South Prince had this sent,

inviting you to talk in the House of Romance.

I'm not going. I have no time for his drama.

I'll go reject him now.

Your Highness.

Miss Yueling is going to escape.

Before that, she has gone to the House of Romance for fun.

Butler Wen.

Yes, Your Highness.

Don't reject him.

Since the South Prince wants some fun,

let's go have fun with him.

After all, someone in the palace will love

the disputes between us.

Yes.

Tonight, the unsurpassed lady will dance.

It's been a long time

since Miss Su Nian danced last time.

Yeah.

Look, the guests to watch the performance

have more than doubled than usual.

How did you get the bruises on your face?

When I came out earlier today,

I fell accidentally.

If you had fallen accidentally,

you wouldn't have so many bruises.

Unless you were chased by a dog,

you wouldn't be so badly injured.

Then pretend I met a mean dog in the day.

Mean dog.

Someone cursed me.

Can it be anyone thinking of you?

No.

Someone must have cursed me.

Never mind. Look over there. So bustling.

Let's go take a look.

Come in, please.

Today, our unsurpassed lady Miss Su Nian

will dance for the guests.

Let's welcome her.

- Look over there. - Madam Sang.

- This way, please. - All right.

When is she coming out?

- Soon. Please wait. - Sir, get in first.

She's coming out soon.

Whatever good wine or dishes you have,

serve them.

All right.

Enjoy the food, sir.

Miss Su Nian is here.

Miss Su Nian, you've come at last.

Miss Su Nian has finally come.

We've been waiting for a long time.

(Su Nian, the unsurpassed lady in the House of Romance)

Miss Su Nian dances even better than before.

She does?

I think she's ordinary.

In no case

can she dance better than the Persian girls

I've been keeping.

Shiyu, I hear you keep many beautiful ladies, too.

But you have no Persian girls,

do you?

In collecting beautiful girls,

I do far worse than you.

You're rather experienced, after all.

I'm no match for you.

I usually see the most beautiful ladies

and I'm too fed up

to enjoy their charm.

Today, in this ordinary house,

I see some ordinary girls

and I find them a little bit attractive.

Just a little bit.

Bravo!

Why does that girl

look so familiar?

Impressive.

The real fairy.

Who's there?

She's that vicious assassin!

Bravo!

Don't be ridiculous.

What assassin?

Come on, Yueling.

She was the assassin in Dongyu.

I'm sure.

If you keep making trouble,

I'll send you back.

Fine, Yueling.

Fill my cup.

(I will prove)

(you're that vicious assassin.)

(And you'll have to pay double)

(for how you humiliated me.)

How is everything going?

It's what the Prime Minister wants

and I'll do the best I can.

Here. Have a look.

(Account Book)

Well done.

The North Prince's men didn't find it, huh?

Rest assured, Mr. Wang.

I've made a fake account book

as the substitute.

It looks totally real.

Good.

Come on, Mr. Wang. A toast to you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.
