Di Shiqi, are you...

Hurry, protect Her Highness!

Help! Protect Her Highness!

Protect Her Highness!

Your Highness!

Do you mean he tried to harm Consort Wei?

Your Majesty,

after Her Highness came here,

Shouzheng appeared from time to time,

talking some nonsense.

Today, he blocked Her Highness's way

and insulted her.

She couldn't endure it

and asked me to hit his face.

But he attacked Her Highness

and said...

He said...

What?

He said Her Highness should die.

Your Majesty,

when he rushed at me,

I saw it clearly.

He looked like someone.

Looked like someone?

He was nearly identical to him.

One of those rogues from before.

However, I was not sure.

If I mistakenly killed the Crown Prince's man,

I'm willing to atone with my life.

He's just an ignorant servant.

His life doesn't matter.

However, the rogue incident was strange.

Shouzheng wouldn't attack Consort Wei with no reason.

Brother,

he was your man.

Why do you think he did that?

I failed to manage my subordinates.

I will investigate thoroughly

and give her an explanation.

Brother, you should avoid suspicion.

Father,

please allow me to investigate this.

I will find the link between Shouzheng and the rogues.

I don't think the rogue incident was just an accident.

Our enemies wanted

to incite conflicts between the two nations.

Okay.

You will handle this matter.

You must find out the truth.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Ouyang Heng!

Learn from your brother.

You can't even manage your men.

How can I entrust you with the nation?

I'm sorry, Father.

Your Highness, well done.

Your Highness, I don't know what you're talking about.

Aren't you afraid to lose your mother?

I'm afraid.

However, I advise you

to ensure my mother's safety

for your own sake.

What should we do next?

Don't worry.

The capital is under lockdown now.

Shouzheng's death

got him involved.

He won't act recklessly for now.

Tomorrow, leave the palace with the team

and pick up my mother.

Be careful alone in the palace.

I'll find someone to make the antidote soon.

I want to see you alive.

When you arrive at Wei,

find a way to escape.

Please

take care of my mother.

Fifth Prince has arrived!

Yilan is leaving tomorrow.

My mother was worried about you,

so she sent Chuncan to serve you.

Chuncan.

I will punish you.

Help!

Thank Noble Consort.

Miss Yilan,

can you do me a favor?

Your Highness, go ahead.

A few subordinates of mine

are also heading to the border.

Could you take them along?

No problem.

Then I shall take my leave.

Your Highness.

I did some research.

They're all top martial artists.

I've never seen someone

trying to help so earnestly.

I can never repay

the debts I owe him.

Mother, I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

Don't you like playing with

that vixen's son?

Go ahead.

Should I send you to Changle Palace now?

I won't do it again!

I won't do it again!

I've told you

you are different from him.

Since childhood, your father hasn't favored you.

He made you Crown Prince

only to appease our family.

But that vixen's son is different.

He has nothing,

yet your father still adores him.

Without the position,

you are nothing!

How dare you waste time

playing with him?

Nanny, help!

Help!

Nanny! Nanny!

Remember,

a ruler has no weaknesses.

Your love will only get them killed.

Mother,

you're wrong.

The Xie Family counts on me now.

A loser doesn't deserve to be our family.

In the contest,

you lost to that vixen's son in every aspect.

Did you see

how your father looked at you?

What a shame.

You're bleeding.

(Ten-year-old Sprout)

Get out!

But you're bleeding.

Don't move!

I said don't move.

Master asked me to bring you food.

I won't eat!

- You won't? - No!

Get out of here!

You're disgusting!

You're eating like a dog!

Most people from our village starved to death.

If you were me,

you'd also eat like a dog.

Master.

Yilan took the madwoman from East Lane.

According to our eye,

they plan to escape the city.

Ask my imperial guards to block all exits.

Shiqi,

do you really think

everything will go smoothly?

According to our eye,

they're still in the city.

Why?

After Yilan got out,

she took a middle-aged woman from East Lane.

Then the imperial guards sealed all city gates.

Middle-aged woman?

She was sold to the arena

after getting separated from her mother.

She made so much effort

just to get a woman out of the city.

But the guards work for the Crown Prince.

No matter what she's planning,

I'm afraid it's hard to succeed.

Are you going to fight against the Crown Prince?

But I can't ignore this.

Noble Consort has arrived.

Mother.

Shao,

Changle Palace will host the Spring Banquet soon.

I've invited all the noblewomen in the capital.

Your father wants you

to select a woman

and marry her.

- Mother... - You don't have a choice.

I like Wang Jiarou, the Grand Marshal's daughter.
