[Cordial Companions]

[Episode 2]

My Lord,

I've brought you food.

Come in.

Yes.

Where should I put it?

Just put it over there.

Why is it him?

Please enjoy, My Lord.

I shall take my leave.

Stop!

My Lord.

Is there anything else?

Oh no.

He must have recognized me.

What should I do?

It's okay.

Maybe I can beat him.

Look up.

You look unfamiliar.

Newcomer?

Why is he...

Oh, right.

I was wearing a veil that night.

What's your name?

Lin Wanqing.

Go back to your work.

Yes.

[The Supreme Court]

My Lord.

He De is too secretive.

We used all kinds of methods,

but he still didn't say anything.

He figured we don't dare to do it.

Then...

aren't we under his control?

Although we don't dare to do it,

the one who does is already here.

My Lord, you mean

we could use that female assassin?

But

she has been working in the kitchen all afternoon.

She was either washing or cutting vegetables.

She had no time to investigate where He De was.

My Lord,

I've brought your afternoon tea.

Come in.

Yes.

My Lord.

Shall I still put it here?

Please have some tea, My Lord.

I shall take my leave.

Wait.

What now?

My Lord, what else can I do for you?

My Lord,

I don't know how to mix the ink.

Fine.

I'll give it a try.

I...

I'm sorry, My Lord.

I didn't mean it.

Let me help you.

What's wrong, My Lord?

Why do they always pose like that

every time he meets this female assassin?

I told you I didn't know how to mix the ink.

You insisted on letting me…

I shall take my leave.

My Lord.

Why did you let her go?

Didn't we agree to...

I'll get some water for you, My Lord.

[Prince Liang's Mansion]

The female assassin who appeared in Pingkang Brothel

is called Lin Wanqing.

She's an assassin from Wuming Intermediary Agency.

Wuming Intermediary Agency?

Yes.

I've arranged for her to sneak into the Supreme Court.

She's the one.

I can't stay here for long.

I don't care if he's He De or Wang De.

Nor do I care if he's a corrupt official or a good one.

I quit killing.

I can't do it.

I'd better leave

while it's dark.

Oh no.

I left my handkerchief in the study.

That's the only thing my parents left me.

He's still up so late.

He's so assiduous.

I'm going all out.

I'll just go and ask for it directly.

My Lord.

What are you doing?

What are you doing here

in the middle of the night?

I...

I'm here to look for my handkerchief.

I left it here during the day.

I knocked just now,

but you didn't answer.

So I just came in.

You don't believe me?

I swear what I said is all true.

If I'm lying,

let me be struck by lightning

-and die… -Enough.

Get out.

You believe me?

Then…

where is my handkerchief?

I threw it away.

Threw it away?

How could you

throw away other people's stuff just like that?

Get out!
