You're truly brilliant.

This is a win-win,

not only protect Mr. Baili,

but also took down Jiang Beimo

and Chancellor.

Both dealt with.

Truly satisfying.

Do you think

they can't turn the tables now.

Before returning to Dongque,

he should not make any more moves.

Yes indeed.

They have made a fool of themselves

at the festival.

Everyone saw that.

And I think

this time nobody

can save them.

If it were not for this move,

the situation now

would be hard to say.

I've saved you again.

How will you thank me?

You've reminded me.

I've put Jiang Beimo

into the dead cell.

You should thank me properly.

How is it that I owe you a favor now?

Mr. Baili,

if you truly have affection for Zhao Qingqing,

I won't interfere.

It's just that

now I share a body with her,

many things are inconvenient.

You need to give me some time

to adjust.

Si?

Si!

What's wrong?

The assassin's sword was poisoned.

Call doctor.

I'll call.

Mr. Baili,

my condition,

I'm very aware of it.

Si?

Si.

Si...

I

won't be able to accompany you back to Dongque.

Someone, call the doctor!

Si!

Si.

You must beware of everyone around you.

Although Jiang Beimo and Chancellor have been imprisoned,

the general has not returned yet.

And the reason is unknown.

Mr. Baili,

I know you dislike court affairs.

But some people,

you cannot protect them with your strength alone.

Only by caring for the world

can you protect the important ones.

Si!

Miss Su,

protect him.

Si?

Si...

Si!

Father,

where did you go today?

Why weren't you protecting the hostage?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Save me!

How dare you, at the Flower Festival,

try to hurt the hostage?

Who can save you now?

It's Jiang Beimo.

It's all Jiang Beimo.

He told me to do so, Your Majesty

Your Majesty!

Greetings to Your Majesty.

When I was asking questions,

I learned of your abilities.

I awarded you with Dianmo Studio

to enlighten you, Jiang Beimo.

You shall serve the country.

But I did not expect

that you would collude with scoundrels,

carelessly

plotting to harm the hostage.

You have disappointed me.

Your Majesty,

these accusations are unfounded.

I schemed against the hostage,

but all of this

was for you, Your Majesty.

Surmising my will?

Do you know your crime?

I heard General Su

guarded the empty city gates all day long.

Do you know

if not for today's close call,

the Su family would fall into the trap.

At the least, imprisoned,

at worst, the execution of the whole clan!

Not to mention if the hostage died,

Dongque might seek revenge from Nanyuan.

Two countries in a war,

will the common people

have good days ahead?

Yan,

all this,

how could your father not understand?

But as a general,

I have my duties.

The sovereign's order must not be disobeyed.

Baili Jingxing frequently encounters assassinations.

How could you be unaware?

During the Flower Festival,

the general's troops

are so crucial for protecting the hostage.

You must be well aware too.

Yet you insisted

to have the general guard the empty city gates.

Your Majesty,

forgive my bold speculation,

you did this

because you want Baili Jingxing to die.

How audacious!

If the hostage died, we will start a war.

How could I want the hostage dead?

The founding General,

commanding significant forces,

deeply cherished by the people.

This is your concern.

You cannot directly strip him of his military command.

Thus, for so many years,

it's always been the Chancellor maintaining a balance with him.

If his son-in-law, Baili Jingxing dies,

the Chancellor would surely make a big fuss out of it.

Then you may take the opportunity

to seize his military power

and remove this concern.

This is one thing.

The heirs of the King of Dongque died one after another.

He, Baili Jingxing,

is the future king of Dongque.

If this sole heir dies,

Dongque will surely fall into chaos.

Your Majesty, you would certainly not miss such a great opportunity.

At that time, we can take down Dongque

and reap the benefits.

What makes you think so?

Your Majesty, as the ruler of a nation,

deigned to visit this death cell

to see me, a disabled man.

You must have something to say to me.

You are quite clever.

It's a pity that Chancellor

has such a narrow perspective.

It was a waste of talent.

So all of this

was the King of Nanyuan's idea.

When the sovereign orders death,

the subject must die.

This battle,

we cannot win.

Your Majesty, thank you for the great grace!

I will certainly serve you with diligence.
