Why is it taking so long?

Danruo, trust them.

They must have a plan.

Your friends will be safe.

My Lord, if you want to know where Lu Shiqi is,

how about

making a deal with me?

You want to make a deal with me?

Sure.

Do you dare to?

This is truly unexpected.

My Lord, she's deceiving you! Don't fall for it!

Speak.

What do you want then?

I want

to become empress.

You're far-sighted.

Now that the die is cast,

opposing you leads only to death.

I wonder if you still remember

that I am to be Lady Huai'en.

My Lord, she's tricking you.

You must trust me.

Then why should I trust you?

Lu Shiqi!

Lu Shiqi!

Guards, seize him!

Lu Shiqi.

I need to find someone dependable

for myself and my family.

You cannot give me what I want.

Lu Xinnian.

You always surprise me.

Are you satisfied, My Lord?

Of course.

You're still my wife.

Finally, we reunited today.

Come back with me.

My Lord.

My Lord.

My Lord.

These people assassinated officials

and committed treason.

Take them all back to the manor.

Lock them in the dungeon.

- Yes. - Yes.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Why are you treating me like this?

Didn't you promise me?

My Lord!

You promised me!

You promised me!

In the end,

you are still my woman.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking about my wedding night.

I'm sorry about the past.

I heard you were a dull lady.

That's why I didn't lift your veil.

I deeply regret it.

I don't understand.

You sowed discord, making His Majesty

afraid of my family's influence,

and schemed to make me marry you.

And why did you let Lu Shiqi forge evidence,

leaving no way out for my family?

A great man

never pins his hopes on women.

So,

marrying me was just a tactic?

Fanghua is also your pawn?

You are different from her.

You are a lady of noble birth.

But...

She can't hold a candle to you.

Rest assured, I promise I will not fail you.

So, you'll give me what I want?

If you sincerely submit and help me seize the throne,

you will be my empress.

Your family is not only my kin

but the pillar of the court.

Good.

It's settled.

I have finally

gotten my wish.

You're poisoned.

No need to feign surprise.

Wasn't it you who ordered Fanghua to poison me?

All who betray me deserve death.

But don't worry. You're still useful.

I won't let you die.

Someone!

Help my lady change clothes.

Time for the show.

Shiqi.

Lu Xinnian.

You think you can use Lu Shiqi

to earn my trust?

Your assassination attempt has failed,

so you two are at my mercy.

What are you trying to do?

If you have the guts, kill me.

Yes. Death is nothing to fear.

I see. What lovely true lovers.

You two have truly moved me.

However,

since you don't care about your own life or General Lu's,

what about theirs?

Danqing, Danhua!

What are you doing?

A good show deserves the audience.

Since you don't appreciate it,

I must find a few beauties to join me.

If you want to kill someone, kill me!

Why kill them?

Let me show you where to shoot.

As long as you kill Lu Shiqi,

I'll give you another chance

to stay by my side.

No!

No!

No!

Danhua.

Danhua!

Danhua!

Danhua!

Let go of her!

Danhua!

Danhua!

Danhua!

You beast!

Come at me!

Only a coward bullies defenseless women.

Fine.

Then I must do as you wish.

Get me an arrow.

I'm begging you.

Please, don't.

Please, don't do this.

No, I'm begging you!

Danhua, I will avenge you.

Danhua. No!

- Yunxiao. - Yunxiao.

Yunxiao!

You once saved me.

Yunxiao.

It's a pity

that I can no longer fight evil alongside you.

I hope I can do it in the next life.

Yunxiao!

I'm sorry.

Lu Xinnian.

You are my wife.

Yet you betray me again and again.

Now,

I want you to kill your lover with your own hands.

After all, he stole you from me.

Can't you do it?

Fine.

If Lu Shiqi doesn't die,

next,

she will die.

Kill me as you want.

Our people will get back at you.
