Your Highness!

Fifth Prince.

It's okay.

I have to make it clear.

Mother asked me to give you this.

Yilan,

leave us alone.

Aye.

Come with me.

Aye.

Thank your mother.

Your Highness, anything else?

Why?

Why did you choose Father?

- What about me... - Ouyang Shao.

Kiss me.

What?

Kiss me.

Your Highness, I...

Are you happy now?

Stop dreaming.

Your father is waiting for me.

Please go back.

Don't worry.

When combined with strong wine, this drug

can make one turned on

and unconscious.

From now on, the emperor

will be obsessed with you.

I didn't know the Shadow Palace had such a powerful drug.

(Punishment Room)

The former master left this.

He used it to feed breeding male animals.

The new master prefers killing,

so he hasn't used it.

Well, it's really useful this time.

I'm worried that the Fifth Prince might get angry.

Should we also use this...

No need.

He grew up under the sunlight,

pure as an angel.

These dirty tricks

shouldn't be used on him.

Fate is so complicated.

He's a popular nobleman

living under the sunlight,

while we're like nasty rats

living in dark sewers all our lives.

Then I'll tear a rift in the sky

to let the light in.

Darling.

Darling!

Your Majesty,

just sleep and be quiet.

Be good.

Master,

the show is about to begin.

Your Highness.

Have you found anything

about the willow blade?

The blade Consort Wei used to kill

Li Changshun is forged from diamond,

which is rare and precious.

I've found out that

the diamond mine, though appearing

to have another owner,

is actually owned by

the Guardian Duke and the Crown Prince.

Father,

I want to investigate this.

Greetings, brother.

Who informed the Crown Prince?

Once we find out the origin of the blade,

everything will be clear.

Brother,

it turns out you're the master.

Here's my order.

Search the palace and the city.

I will eliminate

all his forces.

Aye.

Your Majesty.

Don't let people see this.

It's against Qi's rules.

Rules?

I make the rules.

Your Majesty,

I'm already grateful

that you allow me, a lowly woman,

to accompany you in the study.

But now there are rumors.

I'm not afraid,

but I don't want them to criticize you.

Who dares to criticize me?

Did someone bully you?

Just tell me,

and I'll support you.

Your Majesty,

with your promise,

I can die without regret.

If you don't want to say,

I won't force you.

As for those servants in the palace,

if they dare disrespect you,

just punish them. You don't need to put up with it.

Thank you so much, Your Majesty.

I have a humble request.

I don't know if I should say this.

Just tell me.

I've been in Qi for some time.

My mother isn't favored by the King of Wei

and is having a hard time.

I want

to ask Yilan to send

some gifts to Wei.

Good.

I asked you to learn etiquette,

and it really worked.

I'm glad

that you're so filial.

Look,

go back and prepare the gifts.

Tomorrow, our diplomatic corps will escort her.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

When I'm with you,

I feel much younger.

Of course he feels young.

The emperor is over 40 years old,

and he dreams about

being strong and capable every night

without realizing it.

He thought you revived his spirit.

No wonder

he cherishes you dearly now.

Everyone in the palace is saying that the emperor adores you.

I'm afraid our master has found out.

What should we do?

He should

be the one worrying about it.

Yilan,

a team will escort you tomorrow morning.

You must remember

to pick up my mother at Guaizao Alley, North Lane of the Capital

and leave with her.

What if our group stops me?

Master won't act rashly tomorrow.

Master wants to see you.

Then let him come and see me.

How dare you?

Do you think you can disrespect Master

just because the emperor adores you?

Yilan.

Aye.

This rude servant

insulted me.

Hit his mouth.

You...

How dare you hit me?

Why wouldn't I?

You're always bullying us

and treating us like animals.

You should be punished!

Not just the group's rules,

even in the palace,

I'm the Crown Prince's guard.

How dare you?

His Majesty decreed

that in the Changle Palace,

I can punish the servants as I please.

Yilan,

go ahead.

Remember,

don't try to scare me with the Crown Prince.

Even if you work for god,

I'll still punish you.

Di Shiqi, are you...

Don't you dare question Master's orders!
