Let go!

[Uncle and niece-in-law,]

[disheveled in this abandoned temple.]

[Lord's underwear is on me.]

[If others find out]

[about our affair,]

[it'll spread throughout Jingdu in an hour.]

[Whether true or not,]

[Lord Lu won't be able to]

[compete with Zhou Nanzhi anymore.]

[Does Lord Lu still think]

[saving me is pointless?]

You don't even care about your reputation.

If I can't control my own destiny,

what's the point of reputation?

As long as you let me out alive,

I will return your things.

Otherwise, I will do everything I can

to expose your secrets.

I don't care if I die,

but you are precious.

Do you dare to fight to the death with me?

Is it there?

Or just call her now?

[But this place has been neglected for years.]

[Would she hide here?]

You've left the mansion as a maid.

I've kept my promise.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Give me the book.

But before that,

please send me

out of Jingdu.

I advise you

not to kill me to keep the secret.

Give me a reason to keep you alive.

The Lous are nobles of Great Jing,

but the family is small.

If the word "Lou" is carved on the body,

you

may not be able to stay out of trouble.

Interesting.

I always threaten others,

but no one has ever threatened me

three times in one day.

Now you have.

Don't even think about destroying the body.

I'm the only daughter of the General,

and the Princess Consort Ning.

If I disappeared,

His Majesty would hold you accountable.

Even if it doesn't affect your grand scheme,

it would still cause you trouble.

For a man like you who wants to hide his ambitions,

it's all harm and no help.

In Great Jing, women of marriageable age

can't leave the capital

without a written permission from their husband or father.

As long as you help me leave Jingdu,

I will return your things.

And I'll never set foot in Jingdu again.

Your secret

will be safe forever.

I can't kill you now,

doesn't mean I can't in the future.

That's exactly what I'm fighting for.

So, will you

help me or not?

Fine,

I'll help you.

Not enough.

When, where,

and how?

The day after tomorrow, the Procurement Office will go out of the city on official business.

There will always be two women accompanying them.

They won't be questioned by the city defense.

Thank you, Prime Minister Lou.

Please

help me and Fugui

leave safely.

Should we send the princess back to the mansion?

Find a place to settle her.

Don't get me involved.

Yes.

Why can't I find Jinzhu anywhere?

Could she have disappeared into thin air?

System,

you said I could exchange points for props, right?

[Yes.]

That's how these system novels are set up.

[Yes, host.]

[Current points: 18,000.]

[Would you like to spend 1,000 points to exchange for character location information?]

What's the point of knowing where she is?

I want her to show up in front of Zhou Nanzhi herself.

Haven't you found Jinzhu yet?

Yes, still no trace.

We can't search openly

outside,

so it's taking longer.

Why is the Princess Consort here?

Prime Minister,

the Princess Consort is missing.

I personally helped her into the sedan chair,

but before it moved, the bearers noticed something was wrong.

When they lifted the curtain,

she was gone.

How could she just disappear?

Could she have been taken by Prince Ning's men?

But that's

too suspicious.

Why would the Princess consort appear here

dressed like this?

Should we...

Take a blood sample.

Yes, sir.

If the marks and items on the Princess consort

are discovered by Prince Ning's men,

they will surely implicate you.

I lost something at Prince Ning's Mansion

I have to go back.

Yes.

I'm sorry, Princess.

Commander Lin, something's wrong.

The Prime Minister's residence broke in.

They said they were looking for something.

They want to take the Princess's heart's blood.

Don't make a noise.

This is the Princess who has been married.

Will the higher authorities hold us accountable in the future?

That's for the future.

If you don't obey the order,

we'll die now.

Feng,

what did the Prime Minister lose?

I don't know.

Search hard.

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Help!

Don't let her make a sound.

The Prime Minister lost something.

Step aside if you know what's good for you.

There are people outside.

We can't let them hear it.

Kill her first.

Sorry.

Princess consort,

your heart's blood is the medicinal catalyst.

Don't blame us.

Only by taking the catalyst in time

can we save Miss Luo.

I'm really helpless.

Almost there.

Prince, something happened.

What?

Wake up!

Don't die here with the mark.

Wake up!

Wake up!

How dare you!

Who are you?

Your Highness.

Lou Siyi.

I'm here to apologize to you.

I lost something,

so I had to bother you.

But I didn't expect

to see this scene upon entering.

Stop pretending.

Where is she?

She...

Is there anyone else here?

Your Highness, please be specific.

It would make it easier for me to respond.

The Lou residence, in the middle of the night,

trespassed into my residence without permission.

Tell me,

what could possibly be lost in my room?

Or is it your ambition, Zhao?

to challenge my authority?

I am terrified.

I can't take this accusation.

What I'm looking for

is this silk.

Lou Siyi, how dare you trick me!

Your Highness, you're too harsh.

The clothes I'm wearing today

were bestowed by Your Majesty.

This silk has been attached

to the fabric since the beginning.

Imperially bestowed items,

is a blessing from the Emperor.

How could I neglect it?

That's why I came back to find it.

Please don't blame me.

Oh, right.

It's late.

Watch out for the candles.

If it catches fire,

it would be bad.

[Fire!]

[Without the catalyst,]

[Miss Luo won't wake up.]

-What's the smell? -Fire!

-Fire! -Fire!

This house is made of wood.

It will soon burn down.

How did I wake up?

Thank god I ran fast.

Luoli,

are you okay?

Maybe the acupuncture worked.

By the way,

what happened just now?

Why did the fire suddenly start?

Fugui.

My lady.

My lady, what happened to you?

Does it hurt?

It's fine.

This is the last time.

If Prince Ning's people find you again,

I'll kill you

before he takes action.

What happened to my lady?

The PM's residence asked me to wait at the inn.

But I suddenly heard that you were missing.

I was so worried.

Fugui,

if I tell you

I was in His Highness's bedroom

in the blink of an eye,

will you believe me?

Is there anything stranger?

My Lady,

did any words appear in the sky again?

What are you talking about?

Every time words appear,

the plot in the picture book will be staged.

I guess now

His Highness is begging Miss Luo

to go to the palace with him tomorrow.

But when I was at the Prince Ning's Mansion,

there were no words in the air.

That means

what happened just now

was not the original plot,

but Luoli did something.

She wants me to die.

Luoli.

How dare she!

She's just a commoner.

How dare she go against the princess?

Does she want to die?

Luoli is the protagonist of this story.

The princess

and Prince Ning

are insignificant to her

even though they are the most powerful here.

Besides,

Luoli seems to have some extraordinary power.

This picture book world

is more complicated than we thought.

So,

should we

hide for a few days

to...

No.

If the catalyst thing keeps going,

we may not even make it out of the city.

Wealth and honor,

we can't hide anymore.

Get the horses ready.

Yes, Your Highness.

You're the only one who can carry this dress.

Nanzhi,

today is your wedding day.

It's not appropriate

for me to accompany you to the palace.

I'm here.

Who dares to talk nonsense?

Your Highness,

we've been on watch all night.

There's no trace of the princess in the PM's residence.

[Host,]

[today's plot is to accompany Zhou Nanzhi to the palace.]

[But you met the second male lead by chance,]

[and gets his attention.]

[You'll get 500 points after that.]

The second male lead is here.

Who is he?

It's him.

My respects, Prime Minister.

[The villainous second male lead Lou Siyi.]

[He pretends to be loyal to the Empress and the sixth prince,]

[but he's actually plotting to usurp the throne.]

[You're on opposite sides,]

[but he fell in love]

[with the enemy's lover.]

This plot is indeed cliched.

By the way,

why was Jin Zhu

among the servants of the Lou residence yesterday?

I have cleaned up

the dirt I got before.

This purse is the only relic left by his mother.

He will lose it by accident later.

You help him pick up the purse by accident.

Lou Siyi meets you,

and the first encounter plot is completed.

One hundred points.

[So don't worry.]

[Even if he helped Jinzhu yesterday,]

[he'll definitely pay attention to you today.]

[As long as he follows his plot,]

[he won't help Jinzhu anymore.]

Right.

Let's finish today's plot first,

then deal with Jinzhu later.

Let's go.

The newlyweds should go together

to pay respects to the ancestors.

This is Miss Luoli.

Am I right?
