The newlyweds should go to the palace

together for the first visit.

This is Miss Luoli.

Am I right?

[Isn't she Princess Consort Ning?]

[Why is she here?]

[Why is she here?]

[Isn't she sick?]

[Who is Miss Luoli?]

[Princess Consort Ning?]

[Why did she come back?]

[Isn't she looking for death?]

She's not stupid.

She knows how to make a living.

Li'er,

the court will send a doctor to diagnose you.

Nanzhi,

maybe I shouldn't go.

I still feel uncomfortable.

I will cure you,

no matter what the cost.

Be careful.

Your Highness is possessed by a devil,

wanting to kill the young lady as a catalyst.

My Lady,

can we succeed in today's plan?

It depends on him.

Please wait, Prime Minister.

Prime Minister.

Prime Minister,

no matter what the Princess Consort wants to do today,

she'd better not involve me.

If Prince Ning really wants me dead,

the words carved on my body and the underwear

all point to you.

At that time, your secret

can't be hidden anymore.

Then I can take advantage of the situation.

After Zhou Nanzhi kills you,

I'll burn your body.

What do you think

of this idea?

I bet Prime Minister Lou will save me.

Since killing you or saving you is troublesome,

why don't we make a bet?

Let's see if I'm willing to trouble to save you

or kill you.

Have a seat.

Li'er,

the Imperial Medical Bureau is ahead.

Hang in there.

Nanzhi,

I got sick in a strange way.

I'm afraid I can't get better.

I won't let you die.

Do you really want to sacrifice innocent people to save me?

[Host, the plot is about to start.]

[Lou Siyi will find his wallet missing]

[and come back to look for it.]

Wallet?

Nanzhi,

my chest suddenly hurts so much.

Could you get me some medicine?

Okay.

Sit here and rest.

I can't wait any longer.

I've sent someone.

It will be done cleanly.

Hurry up.

Jinzhu,

Lou Siyi won't help you this time.

Didn't you say the wallet was here?

Who are you?

This is the next plot.

You and Lou Siyi ran into the Emperor and Empress.

The Empress deliberately made things difficult for you.

Unexpectedly,

it made you shine in front of the Emperor.

Lou Siyi admires you very much.

Completing the plot will earn 500 points.

But where is Lou Siyi?

That's a condemned prisoner.

I placed a pig's blood packet on her chest

and altered her appearance

to replace the princess consort.

You're truly prescient.

How did you know the PM would help you?

What prescience?

I bet Prime Minister Lou would save me.

You're shameless.

You keep threatening me.

No creativity at all.

It's not about being creative,

as long as it works.

As for being shameless,

I'll take that as a compliment.

Within Great Jing,

no one knows

so much about me.

When Wealth and Honor leave Jingdu safely,

I will naturally

hand over your items.

As for the things you don't want known,

as long as I'm alive,

your secret is safe.

Next,

it's up to your tricks.

Where exactly is Lou Siyi?

Why are you standing there?

Kneel down

and greet us.

So you are Prince Ning's acquaintance.

No wonder you are so disrespectful.

My Southern Banquet

would never be so unruly.

Father,

Luoli is not from Great Jing,

[so she doesn't know the rules.]

Zhou Nanzhi is back.

[She saved me when I was injured]

Is the catalyst ready?

[She saved me.]

But why didn't Lou Siyi come?

[Miss Luo is knowledgeable,]

Why is the plot wrong again?

[well-versed, and kind-hearted.]

No matter who comes to see me from the Four Kingdoms,

they must perform the kneeling and bowing ceremony.

Is it

because of Prince Ning's influence

that she shows no respect to the emperor?

Water can carry a boat

can also overturn it.

The Emperor is like a boat,

and the people are the water.

The boat and the water help each other.

Then why does the water need to bow to the boat

and be inferior to it?

It's the first time I've heard such a speech.

Interesting.

What's your name?

My name is Luoli.

[I've completed the task of shining in front of the Emperor]

[and earned 100 points.]

How dare you!

A woman

dares to speak to Your Majesty like this!

[Lou Siyi would have rarely spoken up for you,]

[but he hasn't shown up yet.]

The catalyst is ready.

Li'er.

The medicine.

Here.

Do you feel better?

I'm fine.

I'm actually fine.

My heart doesn't hurt at all.

This medicine

has a bloody smell.

What's in it?

It's blood.

Blood.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

The second male lead is here.

[He has missed]

[the plot just now.]

[You must find a way to make him appreciate you,]

[to get the remaining 400 points.]

You still used human blood as a catalyst,

didn't you?

Do you know

there is no scientific basis for this?

This is pure superstition.

For you,

I can pay any price.

That's because it's not you.

Do you think I'll be happy with this?

Everyone is equal in this world.

You have no right to decide others' lives.

Jinzhu did nothing wrong,

but you took her life.

This is the tragedy of women,

and the tragedy of feudalism.

Tragedy?

[Host, Lou Siyi has noticed you.]

[You'll complete the plot.]

Miss Luo is really magnanimous.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

How are you still alive?

Miss Luo just stood up for me.

What?

Are you unhappy

that I'm alive?

Of course not.

I'm happy.

I believe you've heard

what Miss Luo just said.

Heart's blood is not only useless for her,

but also hurts the feelings between them.

I think

we should stop here.

Wait.

What's that smell of blood?

Pig's blood.

It seems that Miss Luo's illness

can be cured by any catalyst.

To fulfill Your Highness' love for Miss Luo,

I'm willing to divorce.

Are you sure?

Before you make up your mind,

I'll stay in Yongxing Palace

to pray for Miss Luo.

Prince Ning left without kneeling.

He's really rude.

Nan Zhi is getting more and more willful.

Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager wants to see you.

Tonight, I will issue a pass to leave the city.

Tomorrow, at 7:15 p.m.,

follow the Procurement Office out of the city.

Feng Yan will come to meet you.

Make sure everything is clear.

From now on,

you are not allowed to set foot in Jingdu again.

It's a deal.

Tonight, I'll be waiting for you at Yongxing Palace.

The smell of pig's blood is really disgusting.

Jin Zhu didn't die,

and she made me so embarrassed.

It's all because of her.

Lou Siyi didn't notice me at all.

[Jin Zhu has been infatuated with Zhou Nanzhi.]

[She shouldn't do that.]

[But if the host wants to advance the plot,]

[you can let them divorce first.]

[Then...]

I'm the protagonist of this world.

Others are just tools

to complete the plot.

How dare she ruin my plot

and my highlight moment?

Host,

we can ignore Jinzhu for now.

As long as we continue the plot,

everything can get back on track.

If there's no excuse for the catalyst,

Zhou Nanzhi has no reason to kill her.

Host,

you can't go against...

I know.

Cut the crap.

Your Majesty.

I didn't know

you cared about Princess Consort Ning.

You never meddle in other's business.

In Mingyue Pavilion,

you said one more sentence.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

You'd better know your place.

You can't have children,

and have no offspring.

You can only rely on my son.

Yes.

If Nan Yan ascends the throne,

you'll be the emperor's brother-in-law.

But if Zhou Nanzhi becomes the emperor,

what will happen to you and me?

You don't need me to spell it out, do you?

28 years ago, the emperor

fathered the eldest prince with a lowly embroiderer.

I entered the palace half a year ago

and had them both killed.

If it weren't for the former empress keeping Zhou Nanzhi so close,

the princes of Great Jing

would only be Nan Yan.

I have

many lives in my hands.

Women, princes, slaves,

and even the Lou family.

Even if you are my brother,

if you get in my way,

you must die.

Do you understand?

Lou Siyi,

you've been away from the court for 16 years.

As soon as you returned,

I appointed you as the Prime Minister.

But I can't see through you.

You don't

care about fame and fortune,

nor love and desire.

I suspect you

may have ulterior motives.

What do you think?

Prove to me

you won't side with Zhou Nanzhi.

I mean,

Prince Ning had better be dead.

Do you understand?

[She wants me to kill Zhou Nanxie.]

[If I assassinate Prince Ning]

[in the palace,]

[Nanxuan will be the only prince of Great Jing.]

[If I fail,]

[I'll be killed by Prince Ning.]

[I can only rely on her.]

[With these means,]

[she has killed princes and princesses]

[and opponents of the Lou family]

[for twenty years.]

[She's only one step away from becoming Empress Dowager.]

Of course,

she can't afford any mistakes.

It seems the Empress never fully trusted you.

She shouldn't have.

Because I'm not her brother at all,

but the son of a lowly embroiderer,

as she claimed.

[Forget your status as the Eldest Prince.]

[Forget your name.]

[Forget Jingdu.]

[Forget everything.]

[Never come back.]

My Lady,

I've kept the purse close to me.

No one has noticed.

Usually, it's white hawthorn flowers,

but this one is red.

It's quite special.

I don't know its origin.

That's not important.

As long as Lord Lu sends the token,

we can leave Jingdu tomorrow

and meet up with my father and brother.

[I will stir up trouble in Great Jing,]

[use her to defeat Zhou Nanzhi,]

[and then kill Zhou Nanyan]

[when she is satisfied.]

[Let her see]

[the son of the lowly embroiderer she burned to death]

[ascend to the position she has plotted for half her life.]

Second male lead?

What does it mean?

My Lady,

did any text appear in the air again?

What plot is this time?

Falling in love with Luoli?

Who falls in love with Luoli?

But

it has nothing to do with us.

Wait for Lord Lou to come...

No.

He won't come.
