[Cordial Companions]

[Episode 9]

I didn't expect

it was Prince Liang.

No wonder I couldn't figure out

where the short sword came from.

Prince Liang has never been favored by His Majesty since childhood.

Therefore, he rarely participates in politics.

This time, not only was he involved in He De's corruption case,

but he also sent someone to kill me.

There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Lai Luo.

Keep an eye on him.

I want to know all his movements.

My Lord,

what's our plan

next?

Next,

we need to make Prince Liang believe in my death.

You guys don't try to lock me up.

Guard Lin, your reactions

are sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Guard Lin is smart.

She's just timid.

Thanks to Lai Luo's presence.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do.

We need to find

a hiding place that Prince Liang

has never considered.

My Lord.

The most

dangerous place

is always the safest.

How about

the Supreme Court?

Silly.

You want to be checked by Prince Liang's men every day?

We have so many guards.

What is there to be afraid of?

Silly.

How can I investigate the case

without the freedom to come in and out every day?

In my opinion,

we can't hide this for long.

We should plan early

how to investigate

and collect evidence.

If we wait until Prince Liang finds out,

we'll be at a disadvantage.

Lai Luo has a point.

Where should we hide then?

I have a place

that many people don't know.

Miduoduo Escort Agency.

My Lord, please come in.

My Lord, welcome to Miduoduo Escort Agency.

Lower your voice.

Do you want the whole world to know?

Ye Qing, you stay in the Supreme Court.

Report to me if anything happens.

Yes.

Lai Luo, you're good at fighting.

You keep an eye on Prince Liang's Mansion.

Besides,

arrange my fake death.

Make sure not to reveal any clues.

Okay.

I'll hide here with Lin Wanqing for now.

My Lord.

Although the conditions here are simple,

it’s the best room at Miduoduo.

You can stay in this room.

They treat you well.

I was an orphan.

My master took me in when I was four.

He treated me like his own daughter.

Senior cared about me even more.

What about your biological parents?

I don't know.

My Lord.

I've been an orphan since I was young.

That handkerchief

is really important to me.

It's the only thing my parents left me.

In this case,

I misunderstood her.

It's my handkerchief.

Now it's returned to its owner.

My Lord, did you refuse to give it to me on purpose?

My Lord, why did you do that?

Why are you angry?

You can stay in this room.

I don't want to.

[Zhou Yipu, Vice Minister of the Armament Bureau] [Back door of Prince Liang's Mansion]

Zhou Yipu.

Vice Minister of the Armament Bureau.

I heard from Xiao Ba

that he will escort Zhou Yipu

to Hongzhou tomorrow.

Why is Zhou Yipu going to Hongzhou?

Where in Hongzhou are they going?

To a place called Xinxiu Tea Club.

Someone will contact them.

How many of them?

Zhou Yipu,

his newly married wife,

Xiao Ba,

and a servant.

There are four of them.

Looks like we need to go to Hongzhou.

Lai Luo.

Keep an eye on Zhou Yipu's every move.

Yes.

What about Guard Lin?

I have a bold idea.

What?

He left

without saying goodbye.

He's heartless

and unfaithful.

It seems

Guard Lin can't bear to part with Lord Su.

I...

That's not true.

Guard Lin,

I need your help.

I know

this will put you in a difficult

and dangerous position.

Of course,

if you don't want to help,

I can find someone else.

Someone else?

I mean,

you have helped me.

If you need any help,

I will certainly help you.

Certainly.

My Lord.

Have one more cup.

Who are you?

Lord Su,

I've completed the task you assigned.

Please spare my life.

Fine.

I'll spare your life.

Wei Wen.

Take Zhou Yipu and Xiao Ba

to the capital and secretly lock them up.

We'll decide when I'm back.

Also,

keep pretending

that I'm dead.

Yes, My Lord.

You never get close to women.

But this time,

you'll devote your body for the case.

I admire you.

What?

Devoting the body?

You didn't mention it.

[Hushan Inn]

Ye Qing.

Go get some rooms.

How many?

Two.

Okay.

My Lord.

Are we going to live in the same room?

We are husband and wife now.

Of course, we should stay in the same room.

What?

Are you afraid I might have ulterior motives against you?

Or

what you said yesterday was a lie?

How is that possible?

I was telling the truth.

Then let's go.

This room is really nice.

It's so big.

But

why is there only one bed?

Honey, you seem scared.

Scared?

Why would I be scared?

Then

let's lie down early.

Okay.

Sure.

My Lord, you should lie down early too.

Sure.
