[Marry me, my evil lord]

[Episode 4 Playing a trick to catch the real murderer together]

I'll prove it to you.

Whose coat is this?

Leng Moyan.

Shiqi, I was going to see you.

There's news from Consort Chen's family?

Of course, I am

the best.

I hid in her mourning hall

for three days and nights.

There's a big secret.

Tell me.

On the day Consort Chen died,

she secretly had a maid give a letter to her parents.

Then this maid, Cui,

went to the palace to get a very important letter.

Do you have the letter?

Where is it?

I don't have it.

Consort Chen was dead when the maid got there.

What's your point?

Silly.

Think about it, why did Consort Chen

have someone deliver a letter?

Obviously, she had sensed the danger.

You mean

the murderer didn't know about

the undelivered letter.

It's still in Consort Chen's chamber.

Shisan, you're so smart.

Thank you.

Shiqi?

A letter.

Where would she hide the letter?

Mei Shiqi,

you are really a genius detective.

What are you doing here?

I should be asking you that.

Give me the letter.

It's evidence from the Investigation Bureau.

Anyone who takes it will be charged with obstruction of justice.

You wouldn't defy the law, would you?

That's nonsense.

I'm under orders to investigate the case.

You can't do anything to me.

You're actually strong.

Leng Moyan, do you think I'll give in?

In your dreams!

If the men in the city

knows you're fighting with a eunuch on a bed,

none of them will marry you.

What do you want?

What do you want?

I'll ruin your reputation.

Leng Moyan!

-You'll never find a husband. -I'll kill you!

Leng Moyan.

My lord.

What happened?

Don't tell anyone

what you just saw.

If you dare,

I'll pull out your tongues.

Do you hear me?

Emm.

Speak.

Yes.

You're having a second thought?

I worked hard to find it.

At least let me have a look.

Let's read it together.

You finally showed up.

Chen Bao.

Oh no.

The letter was burnt.

We can convict him without the letter.

The Investigation Bureau is good at what we do.

So is the Secret Guards Department.

I want to interrogate him too.

[Investigation Bureau]

The Chief's order:

no one is allowed to go inside

during the interrogation of a major case.

I won't talk to you.

Tell Leng Moyan to come out.

Leng Moyan, you ungrateful,

treacherous, cheating…

If you disturb official affairs

and insult our Chief again,

you'll be killed right away.

Fine. I'm outnumbered.

I'll leave.

Take this...

Again?

Leng Moyan!

Bah!

I've served His Majesty for more than ten years.

How can you slander me?

I was just passing by.

You're framing me.

I have no grudge against Consort Chen.

Why would I kill her?

You didn't kill Consort Chen.

Don't ask. I know my kung fu.

This is the white ribbon that Consort Chen was strangled with.

The whole ribbon is clean,

except this spot.

It has a stain and dust here.

The stain

comes from the beam in Consort Chen's chamber.

So Consort Chen wasn't strangled to death in front of the bed.

She hanged herself from the beam.

What?

You're saying Consort Chen committed suicide?

Yes. After she committed suicide,

someone secretly set up the scene.

The rope on her neck

and the ligature marks on her wrists.

Oh, and your badge.

All faked afterwards.

Consort Chen committed suicide.

I didn't kill her. Let me go.

I'll going to His Majesty to sue you for framing me!

Let me go!

Although you didn't kill Consort Chen,

you faked the crime scene,

slandered good people,

obstructed justice

and tried to assassinate the officials of the Investigation Bureau and the Secret Guards Department.

It's enough to execute you.

Why should I plead guilty?

Because you know Eagle Claw Skill...

and Shaolin King Kong Palm.

And you have a new wound on your shoulder.

Ridiculous! Prince Jing also knows Eagle Claw Skill

and Shaolin King Kong Palm.

His shoulder is injured too.

Why don't you arrest him?

The assassination of Prince Jing is top secret.

Hardly anyone in Prince Jing's Mansion knows about it.

How did you know?

Prince Jing is injured,

but his wound is from a sword.

Chen Tianbao.

Before you started working in the palace,

you were a servant in the Prince Jing's Mansion.

You escorted Prince Jing to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

You know his skills very well.

But he doesn't know

you secretly learned his skills.

Your analysis makes sense.

But you're missing the point.

Why did I

do those things?

Although you didn't kill Consort Chen,

she killed herself because of you.

You didn't want to kill Consort Chen.

You wanted to kill His Majesty.

So you're not facing a charge of murder,

but treason.

You threatened Consort Chen's with the evidence of her father's massive embezzlement

and forced her to kill His Majesty while they were sleeping together.

But Consort Chen was deeply in love with His Majesty.

She couldn't bear to kill him.

She was afraid her father would be killed.

So she committed suicide to make a point.

She wrote a last letter to her family.

She wanted them to give it to His Majesty

and avenge her death.

She was afraid that you would take the letter after she died.

So she hid it.

She was right.

You didn't know about that letter.

You faked her suicide as a murder.

To hide the real cause of Consort Chen's death.

And to frame the Secrets Guards Department, the Investigation Bureau and Prince Jing at the same time,

making the officials suspect each other

and disturbing people's minds.

Your intentions are quite vicious.

You...

You have no evidence.

You're lying.

You're framing me.

Do you think by burning Consort Chen's letter,

you can make sure nothing goes wrong?

You know, the Secret Guards Department

has a magic skill from the Western Regions.

It can make a withered tree come to life again.

It can also restore evidence that's more than half destroyed.

All the evidence of your crime is mentioned in the letter.

You can't deny it.

So what?

A single piece of evidence

that is proved inclusive

cannot convict me.

These

were found in your private house outside the palace.

Surprised?

One of the pigeons that carried messages to your master

flew back on its own.

As long as you tell me who your master is,

I can ask His Majesty

to spare your life.

Fine.

Come here. I'll only tell you.

We are...

Chen Bao.

Chen Bao.

Hey!

My lord!

Hey, don't die! Hey!

What did he tell you?

Who is his master? Tell me!

If I said he didn't tell me anything,

would you believe me?

No. What did he tell you?

Tell me now.

I'm telling you,

we solved this case together.

If you don't tell me,

I won't go easy on you.

Every hour of every day, I'll…

The magic skill from the Western Reions,

you made it up, right?

Of course not.

You think only the Investigation Bureau

has weird skills? We also…

So?

It's an interrogation skill, okay?

Back on track.

What did he tell you?

I saved your life before.

But someone said

she didn't want to owe me a favor.

Yeah.

You were awake?

Why don't you think about

how to repay me?

How do you want me to repay you?

Tell me all the secrets that the Secret Guards Department has.

Then we're even.

I want to know

what Prince Jing is up to.

Who do you think I am?

I will never betray the Secret Guards Department.

Then there is only one way.

Say it.

You join the Investigation Bureau

and be my servant.

You...
