(Wei Yun, Chu Yu)

What did you wish for?

I can't tell you.

Or it won't come true.

Don't worry.

If it doesn't come true,

I will make it come true.

When I am around,

you can do whatever you want

and always be safe.

If you say so...

I hereby appoint you

as my personal bodyguard.

What do you say?

Do you accept?

It would be my honor.

(Wei Yun, Chu Yu)

Let's go.

(Wei Yun, Chu Yu)

Excuse me. Make way, please.

Thank you.

My Lady,

it's too crowded.

Shall we come another day?

No. We've come this far.

I won't give up halfway.

I have to be the first

to put up my plaque.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Make way.

Let me through.

Yeah, why is she pushing in?

What's her problem?

- Get in line. - Excuse me.

Sorry.

- Make way. - Get in line.

I'm sorry.

I'll take you there.

Come on.

My Lady,

wait for me.

What's his problem?

Hey, you. Why are you cutting in line?

How could they push in?

Yeah.

You...

Be quiet.

Don't talk.

Why are you here?

I knew you would come

to hang the first plaque.

So, early this morning,

I declined Yun's mission

and waited for you.

I'm going to help you

hang the first plaque.

That's my business.

No need for you to bother.

But I insist on helping you.

Look.

I got you this.

(Chu Jin)

A golden plaque made for you.

Take it.

I can't take it.

Don't say that.

Just take it.

- It's open. - Come on.

Come on, Jin. Hurry.

Let's hurry up.

Stop crowding.

What are you doing?

How could you do this?

Shame on you.

Jin, you go up there.

I'll hold them back.

I tried really hard.

Why are we still late?

Someone hung the first plaque

by cheating.

Since luck wasn't on my side,

I won't insist.

Jin, don't lose heart.

Luck didn't favor you,

but I would.

Hang this golden plaque.

It's not the first,

but the most valuable

and eye-catching.

Let's hurry up.

Hey, gentleman.

Don't get in the way.

We need to hang our plaques.

Let's not push.

Someone hung it.

Now, let's try

to be the second.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Let's hurry up.

Mr. Song,

before, I didn't know

what I truly wanted.

So, I wanted everything.

But now, I've figured it out.

I have simple wishes.

This valuable plaque isn't necessary.

You have grand wishes.

So, you should keep it for yourself.

Let me through.

Let me through.

(Chu Jin)

(Chu Jin)

I will find a way

to make both our wishes come true.

(Chu Jin)

(Wei Yun, Chu Yu)

Patterned umbrellas.

Pretty umbrellas.

Come take a look.

We have wind-bells and pinwheels.

Pendants and sachets to sell.

- Wei Yun. - Chu Yu.

- You first. - You first.

Just now,

what were you going to tell me

in Tugu Temple?

Chu Yu.

- I... - Sugar figures.

Sugar figures to sell.

Twelve animal signs.

All kinds of figures.

Sugar figures to sell.

Sugar figures.

Sugar figures to sell.

Get in and hide.

It rained suddenly.

I remember

on Spring Breeze House,

you danced beautifully in red.

My brother asked me

if I thought you were gorgeous.

I didn't reply.

But I indeed admitted it.

Chu Yu,

I'm not sure whether

I loved you at first sight

or my love grew over time.

I haven't figured it out yet.

But I think

it may be both.

That day, up there,

I saw you return in triumph.

You rode among your brothers,

surrounded by the crowd.

At that time, I was thinking,

"He's just a spoiled young man."

But I was wrong.

Your family suddenly failed.

Instead of falling,

you supported your family alone.

You're a young general.

You're far and away

the Young Marquis.

You helped me.

You helped me, too.

Since I was little,

I've always been eccentric.

I also became infamous

in countless cases.

However,

no matter how improperly

I behaved,

you never blamed me.

You even

risked your life for me.

Thank you.

You make me trust people again.

I lost my father

and was betrayed.

Maybe even heaven

took pity on me.

So, I met you.

This is also my luck.

Chu Yu.

Will you be with me?

(Divorce Paper) If you do,

take the paper.

From now on,

you are simply Chu Yu

and I am Wei Yun.

(Divorce Paper)

It's supposed to be mine.

Why have you kept it?

So, are you saying...?

I accept you.

You know me, respect me,

and love me.

There's no reason

that I don't like you.

After we catch Yao Yong's mastermind

and settle everything,

I will tell people

about our relationship.

We hung our plaques.

My wish came true.

It's time for business.

Did you find Shen You?

Yes.

He's hiding in an inn

beside Spring Breeze House.

Wei Qiu is spying on him.

Since he dared to flee back here,

it means the man he works for

must be in this city.

All we need to do is wait.

That's right.

He can't hide

in the inn forever.

He will meet that man.

Then, let's see

who will outlast the other.

We've already kissed.

Don't be too shy

to hold hands.

That's different.

Your hand is sweating.

I won't let go, anyway.

With the divorce paper,

you're free now.

You don't need to rush

back home, do you?

Stay for more days.

When my sisters-in-law know

you're leaving,

they'll have a lot to say.

You can just say, "I can't bear to leave you."

You aren't as straightforward

as you used to be.

You're right.

I can't bear to leave you.

Then...

I can go home

in a few more days.

Chun.

Chun.

Am I seeing it wrong?

Maybe when I'm out here,

I've lost my mind.

That's right.

Yu is from a military family.

She isn't punctilious.

It's normal

- that they're close. - Yeah.

Lan, don't worry.

Look, it's cold at night.

And you're pregnant.

Don't get a cold.

Let's go back home.

Alright.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Be careful.

How could you be so bold?

You sneaked into my room

in the middle of the night.

You accepted me.

Yu,

now I want

to be with you every moment

and never leave you.

Alright.

It's too late. You go back.

Don't get caught.

Fine.

But soon, we will be

a proper couple.

Yu,

I expect the day

we become husband and wife.

Cloth to sell.

(Free Medical Service)

Song Wenchang,

if your idea doesn't work,

I'll complain to Father.

See how he'll punish you.

Four examinations.

Free medical service.

Medical service.

Miss,

is it really free?

Yes.

Then...

In that case,

it must be a scam.

A young lady like you doesn't

look like a physician.

I don't believe it.

But...

Sir,

your philtrum is flat.

The whites of your eyes are yellow.

Signs of liver damage from overindulgence

and kidney deficiency.

You either have alcohol addiction,

or...

Or you often go to the brothels.

Nonsense.

Oh, I see.

I totally see.

Go home with me now.

Sweetheart, don't trust her.

You're so gorgeous.

How would I

go to the brothels?

Stop making a fool of yourself here.

Hey, sweetheart. Be gentle.

I'll fix you.

What a bad friend.

Ridiculous.

Oh...

So,

does anyone need this?

Pretty lady, you're so kind.

Check on me first.

- I was here first. - I was.

- It's me. - What?

Take it easy.

One at a time.

One by one.

This is a free service.

But after it's done,

I need you

to do a small thing for me.

A small thing?

But...

General,

a lot of people suddenly came,

saying they had letters for you.

Before I accepted the letters, they wouldn't leave.

So, I brought the letters in.

"Uphill grow trees, on the trees boughs grow.

My heart goes to you..."

Why is it unfinished?

"I have feelings for you, but you..."

Why is it unfinished too?

These are letters

from Miss Song.

So, she's asking

how you feel about her.

Qingping has feelings for me.

How could I not know?

But the thing

between us

can't just be clarified

by these simple poems.

General,

where are you going?

It's time

I made everything clear to her.

Chu Shan,

don't follow me.

Alright.

(She throws...)

(Free Medical Service)

"She throws a peach to me,

I give her a white jade.

Now in turn, you see,

but to show friendship made."

But where can I find a peach?

After Linyang receives the letters,

he will come to me.

Linyang.

Miss Song, can I deliver

the last letter for you?

Of course.

Miss Song,

why are you doing this here?

Because I'm sick.

I need medicine.

So, I'm here.

But you don't look like

you are sick.

I...

I'm lovesick.

Linyang,

you're my cure.

Your brother Wenchang

taught you to do this

and say that,

right?

So, the cure

he prescribed for you

didn't seem to work.

It worked.

You came, after all.

Miss Song,

since the day we met,

I've only ever taken you as a sister.

I have

no other feelings for you.

So...

Did you also become my tester

just because you wanted

to make a sister happy?

At that banquet,

you saved my sister.

It is only natural

that I repay the favor.

I know

you have feelings for me.

But today,

I must tell you the truth.

If I hold you up in your marriage thing,

I will feel sorry

for your father.

I...

I don't believe that.

Linyang,

you like me.

This isn't the real reason.

I'm sorry

I disappoint you.

In the future,

hope you'll take care of yourself

and get a good husband.

Linyang.

Linyang!

Linyang.

Alright. Leave me.

Yun.

This is the blueprint of the improved crossbow.

I know you're worried.

I brought it to you.

(Improvement of Octagonal Crossbow)

So, is this...?

It suits you well.

Did you just...?

Just now,

a little bug

flew into my eye.

It flew away.

Your Lordship.

My Lady.

Ms. Jiang asked me to tell you.

"The meal is ready."

Look at this.

- Try it. - Very fresh.

Flowers. Flowers to sell.

If you don't believe me, try.

How is everything?

Nothing special.

We're watching him.

You asked for the jewelry box.

I fetched it.

Sit.

You're not needed here.

Leave us.

Xiang used to take care of you,

Your Highness.

Why isn't she here?

She went home, pleading illness.

You've recovered for a long time.

Tonight, I'll have a drink with you.

Come on.

This is a toast to you

for risking your life for me.

Do you remember

why I gave you

this name?

When we first met,

you thought I was like

a proud plum blossom in winter.

Even if the wind was piercingly cold,

I never yielded.

So, you named me Hanmei.

All these years,

you never

disappointed me.

Even when I totally collapsed

and everybody left me,

you still stood firmly

by my side.

If I were in a dilemma again,

would you make the same choice?

- Your Highness. - You know.

I hate to be deceived.

If the same thing happened again,

I would make the same choice.

I wasn't saying the same thing.

I mean now.

The other day, Chu Yu visited me

and gave me another gift.

Would you like to see it?

Mrs. Wei always pursues new things.

It must be a gift

that pleases you.

What do you think, Hanmei?

Can it please me?

Your Highness,

why do you suspect me

for a mere pattern?

There are always excuses.

I won't argue.

What about this?

It was found in your herb garden.

The pattern on this bottle

is exactly the same as the one

on North Qi's letter.

You asked for the jewelry box.

So, you sent me away

and had my yard searched, right?

After a long search,

did you only get this?

I didn't expect this.

I didn't want to dump

your medicine bottles,

so I buried them in my garden.

Now, they're evidence against me.

I hate it the most when I'm deceived.

Hanmei.

Oh, no.

Zhao Yue.

Do you not want to defend yourself

or do you have nothing to say?

Until today,

how I wished

Chu Yu had never come.

And how I wished it weren't you.

But now, you can't even say anything

to defend yourself.

How can I believe you?

You know how much

this country means to me.

But you used me

to have done so many harmful things.

What do you take me for?

And what am I to you?

You flirt with other followers,

but keep the safest distance from me.

I accompany you, regardless of my life.

But you've never cared about me.

It is true.

I used you.

Because I wanted more

than being a follower.

And I didn't want to fight

for your little bit of favor.

So, when I was assassinated,

your protection on me

was also part of your plan.

Yes.

You suspected me.

If I hadn't been injured,

how could I dispel

your doubts?

But how would I bear to kill you?

I only wanted to kill

those officials who were loyal,

stubborn, and inflexible.

Those who threatened me.

Your Highness,

I would rather die

than harm you.

Killing those annoying people

is why I've been lying low

for so many years.

However,

I have true feelings for you.

Your Highness.

You poisoned the wine.

Now that you revealed your intentions,

I won't let you live.

You even bewitched Xiang

who served me for years

and she betrayed me.

In that case,

I will let you meet

in the underworld.

- You... - Why am I not dead?

You hated to kill you.

So, you only drugged me.

I gave you a chance earlier.

But you missed your chance to kill me.

Annexing Great Sui

is my lifelong ambition.

No one will change that.

Your Highness,

don't look at me like that.

You ended up like this

due to your momentary kindness.

You used me to harm my own country.

I won't let you live.

Today, I will kill you!

Xue Hanmei,

just now,

I did relent for the sake

of our past.

But now, I won't.

As for you...

A traitor deserves death.

Take them away!

Yes.

Move.

Move.
