=Episode 22=

Useless, useless.

You are all useless!

How could you waste

such a good opportunity?

Master,

Ouyang Shao was well-prepared.

We couldn't act in time.

Then Lord Wang's men arrived.

This time, I won't give you the antidote.

Reflect on yourself.

Aye.

Wait.

The poison should've taken effect.

Well,

doesn't it hurt?

(It's her scent.)

Did you see Di Shiqi?

It seems

your dear sister

has to suffer.

Master,

I'll tell you.

I met Di Shiqi

at the post station.

But I really don't know

where she is now.

Di Shiqi,

I knew you weren't dead.

- Guards. - Yes.

Find that woman.

Find her before Ouyang Shao does.

- Hurry. - Aye.

Hurry!

Don't worry,

your sister will be fine.

You need to make amends.

You know what to do.

- Yes. - Go.

- Hurry! - Hurry!

- Hurry! - This old house can't hide anyone.

Let's go. Check over there!

- Aye! - Aye!

They've gone far.

Thank you for saving me.

Sprout!

Are you still leaving?

Along my journey,

I've taken many lives.

But you're different.

You're the most favored prince.

If you return,

you'll be the esteemed Fifth Prince.

No more Fifth Prince,

no more Crown Prince, no more Shadow Palace!

Your Highness, we'll patrol.

The moment I decided to kill the Guardian Duke,

I already made up my mind.

I only want to be with you,

regardless of storms.

Please don't leave me again.

While you were away,

I found your mother.

Where is she?

Is she doing well?

Rest assured.

She's fine.

She's been searching for you too.

In five days at most,

you'll meet her.

Why are you

so determined to choose me?

I've been a lonely killer my entire life.

You don't have to...

(Sprout)

(Sprout)

Why is this with you?

I met a Sprout in the black market.

She refused to fall into darkness

or be trampled by others.

Back then,

I wanted to give her freedom.

But I led her into another abyss.

You've suffered too much in the Shadow Palace.

I won't let you leave again.

(Sprout)

It was you.

Will you be my wife?

From now on,

I won't let anyone bully you.

You can chase your dreams

and do what you want.

And I'll be by your side.

Sister, you must be happy,

or I won't forgive him.

Enough.

Let's go over there.

Let me take another look.

Guardian Duke.

Rest in peace.

You...

Son, are you going to rebel?

That's not true.

I just want justice.

Ouyang Shao and Consort Wei fled after the murder.

They should be executed.

Wang Jiarou, daughter of the Grand Marshal,

is their accomplice.

Please issue a decree to capture them,

dead or alive.

He is your brother!

Uncle brought me up.

Now that he's dead,

I must avenge him

so that he can rest in peace.

Do you want me to spare him?

Perhaps,

do you want to die in his stead?

Shut up!

I'm your father!

Are you going to kill me?

Issue a decree.

It seems you don't care about

Shao that much.

Get out now.

Go!

My father is old.

Take care of him.

If anything happens,

I'll kill you.

Ouyang Heng!

- Try this. - Okay, come on.

She looks

so familiar.

What's wrong with them?

It's her! It's her!

Looks like her.

Take her!

Who are you?

Get off me! Get off me!

Help!

Father?

Hush.

Rou,

there are spies everywhere.

I'll be brief.

What's happening, Father?

(The Wanted, Wang Jiarou)

This...

A wanted notice?

The Crown Prince

has controlled the emperor

and the court.

Not just us,

even the Fifth Prince is accused of treason.

If they catch us, we'll die.

How's that possible?

Father,

what should we do?

I can't move swiftly.

There's a small path.

Get out now

and find the Fifth Prince.

Tell him

our soldiers are ready outside the city.

He must decide now

to stop the Crown Prince from contacting Wei.

Otherwise,

Qi will lose more cities.

Okay.

I'll tell him.

I'll keep watch.

You...

Leave now.

Father!

Take care!

Miss, check the fabric.

What? The Crown Prince has controlled my father?

I'm afraid he'll kill him

and take the throne.

My father said our soldiers

are outside the city

waiting for your command.

We can't attack them now.

Without a legitimate reason,

we'll be regarded as rebels.

That's exactly what he wants.

Ming'en,

borrows some elite soldiers

to rescue my father secretly.

Sprout and I will come after we pick up her mother.

Then we'll surround the city

and capture the Crown Prince.

Yes, Your Highness.

You can go.

You must be careful.

We'll be there later.

Sister, you must be careful too.

Ming'en, let's go.

Let's go.
