It's cold and raining outside.

Why do you sweat?

You read books for ten years.

And you have been through a lot in the court for two decades.

You just got promoted.

So you want to ruin all these?

I can understand your feeling.

You want to...

Mengzhi.

No matter what happens, don't forget what you have promised me.

Your son said he made the tune outside.

And everyone heard it.

Besides, I am here not for this.

I'm here to rescue you.

I'm here to ask you a favor.

Favor?

What?

Why don't you ask...

Ok.

Let's talk about favor first.

I have told you this before.

His sister.

Your second daughter.

I want to take her as my concubine.

Qingqing.

I am here.

I am here.

My Queen.

Yes.

It's me.

Your Majesty.

You are awake.

I am so scared.

Please, take care of yourself.

Where is Chongkui?

He is out of the palace.

Where is your son?

He is out of the palace too.

Crown prince.

He is fine.

He also went back.

Why are you still here?

Yes.

Please, have a good rest.

Your Royal Highness

All

All my...

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

You're awake.

Finally, you are awake.

You.

Are clumsy.

Yes.

I only know how to embroider quails.

How are you feeling now?

I.

Am amazing right?

I took some precautions.

Nonsense.

You are crying.

No.

I made you suffer so much before.

This time, we are even right?

No. how can we be even after so many things?

A'bao.

Don't cry.

Chen Jin.

Tell me, what is wife and child?

It's...

Send him some medicine after dawn.

Yes.

Tell Chongkui.

Your Majesty.

It's not something glorious.

Tell him, no need to investigate it.

Young master.

Don't make any more troubles.

I didn't try to run.

I just want to see if he is going to be my brother in law.

After tonight, I will appreciate your help.

No need to see me out.

Go find people as you should.

Prince.

I also want to ask you a favor.

I know your worries.

Prince.

I...

Prince.

I am loyal to the emperor.

I will do as he says.

I...

Got it.

Please prepare your daughter's horoscope birthday as soon as possible.

What time is it?

3 o'clock.

Your Royal Highness.

The crown prince is awake?

Your Royal Highness.

You're awake.

Why are you crying?

Even I am not crying.

What do you want to eat?

Something sweet or salty?

I want to get changed.

Your Royal Highness.

You...

You have changed.

Your clothes are clean.

Wagon.

What wagon?

Go to see the emperor.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

You don't need to go when you are injured.

Go.

Attendant Wang.

Do as he said.

I will prepare the clothes for you.

You don't want to ask me...

For the general right?

Yes.

Uncle.

It's...

It doesn't matter who it is.

What matters is as long as Wu Dehou is safe, the crown prince is safe.

If something wrong happens to Wu Dehou, he will be in serious trouble.

So Wu Dehou please think for the country and your nephew.

That's all.

Go.

Get out of the city.

How serious it is?

You told him to do that.

You are not afraid...

Not serious enough.

Father.

Father...

Young master.

Father.

Father.

Let me ask you.

You won't make a trouble for my brother in law right?

I won't.

Don't worry.

You should go back first.

Great.

I'll go now.

Young master

Your Grace.

Lock him up first.

Yes

Your Majesty, you don't need more rest?

I will think too much when I lie down.

Gu Silin left?

Yeah.

Great.

I am asking you, why do you look over there?

So rude.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

He doesn't need to come in the morning.

I don't want to see him.

Your Majesty.

He comes at 6.

He still can get up.

So Chen's men showed mercy on him.

He fainted many times before you got up.

Why do you speak for him?

No...

I am worried about his health.

He comes here to plead guilty.

I have said last night, it's over.

He's not worried about me.

He is worried about his uncle.

So I will send him back now.

Go to tell him.

He needs to reflect himself.

And...

I won't punish him again for this.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Chen.

The emperor.

Your Royal Highness, stop talking.

I will send you back now.

We will have a good talk after we go back.

I am wrong.

The emperor should punish me severely.

You should...

Help me...

How can you take more punishments?

Your Royal Highness

Chen.

He has left already.

Wu Dehou.

No father wants to see you become like this.

Be careful.

Yes.

Be careful.

Be careful.

These are...

Minister He.

Minister He.

Don't pull me.

Minister He.

No.

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Why did you punish the crown prince last night?

Who is it?

I didn't ask more about what happened in Zongzheng Temple.

If you don't give us an explanation,

even if I need to resign, I will never...

I am asking you.

Who told you?

Why do you pull me?

Did I say something wrong?

You also think so, right?

So I can't allow...

Chancellor.

Your Majesty.

The crown prince is closely linked to the country.

Please, with your mirror-like judgment.

Please use your penetrating judgment.

Mirror-like judgment?

Say it.

Say it.

Your Majesty.

Whatever the judgment will be,

you really use it?

Shut up.

Right on time.

They come here...

Chancellor.

Go out.

You become like this.

Your Majesty.

We still need to tolerate more?

You know nothing.

Tell him.

Yes.

We know nothing.

So I demand to go.

I will tell the judiciary departments to investigate the culprits.

Judiciary departments?

You have something new?

Your Majesty

The battered-body trick.

Now your adherents come.

So who is the culprit this time?

Battered-b...

Adherents.

You mean...

No.

I am the minister of the country.

No one's private minister.

It's me.

I am willing to die.

You.

Outrageous.

In front of me, you even...

Your Majesty

The crown prince didn't do that.

You don't allow me to investigate it.

I don't allow. So what?

Your Majesty

I am the chancellor.

I want to refute your decree.

No matter who you want to protect, I can tell you.

You can protect no one in the end.

Guards.

Send him back.

From today on, change his guards.

And no one can go and enter.

And.

You want to give a thorough investigation right?

Ok.

Then I will start from Lu Ying.

Hurry.

Hurry. Sedan.

Prince.

Chancellor.

We can have a talk after we...

I have searched him.

You have such a bad temper.

I have said what you told me.

I heard it from outside.

I am the chancellor.

I need to refute the decree.

It's not what I want.

It's...

I did it.

So my daughter.

I have said, I need your daughter's horoscope birthday.

Can you tell the emperor, that I want to reject it.

Why?

Last night I tried to talk about this, too.

You object to the marriage because of me?

Or.

Neither.

I just think for my daughter.

The emperor told me that he would investigate Lu Ying's case.

So this is the original imperial decree?

Yes.

Of course.

But don't worry, chancellor.

It will...

After all, back then he was the regent.

What's going on?

Don't move.

The crown prince?

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness, are you inside?

Is the crown prince inside?

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness, are you inside?

Your Royal Highness

Close the door.

Yes.

Commander.

Commander.

Commander.

You are...

What are you doing?

Take his weapon.

Seize him.

Don't move.

What do you want?

Don't move.

It's the imperial decree.

Imperial decree.

Stop.

Prince.

The emperor is really going to investigate Lu Ying's case?

I didn't see it coming.

But Gu Silin is back.

Investigating Lu Ying, it couldn't be better, right?

Then the chancellor.

Never mind him.

Originally he has nothing to do with it.

He wants to bite with the crown prince.

Now I kill two birds with one stone.

Brilliant.

The best is yet to come.

But I didn't expect he could care about his daughter so much.

This is the best of him.

It's so great that he rejects it himself.

Among other things...

Among other things, your wife...

My husband comes back?

Prince.

Where did you go last night?

Duty called.

It's true.

I waited for you for the whole night.

I have only you.

You...

It's ok.

I'm wrong.

But the queen asked for a good reason.

I will make it up for you tonight, ok?

Just two of us.

Ok?

What about your 5th brother?

He comes just to snitch and call you sister.

Only two of us.

Don't talk nonsense.

We have the imperial decree, no one can come in.

Where is your commander?

Who are you?

Doctor Wu.

So according to the imperial decree, I can't go in?

Doctor.

I am a courtier.

So are you.

But I am a doctor.

If I don't know the crown prince's health...

What if something happens to my patient...

Commander.

How is the crown prince doing now?

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness

You need some medicine.

It won't hurt.

Your Royal Highness

Let's go back.

It's cold on the ground.

Look.

It's cold.

What's happening?

Say something.

You should say something.

Stop embroidering your bloody quail.

Last time at Zongzheng Temple, he was just like this.

He talked after three days.

What should I do?

Last time it was you.

This time it's you again.

Before I went to the palace yesterday, I smelt a rat.

The bloody thing.

Why did the crown prince confess all?

Wang.

Stop it.

I shouldn't have admitted.

Your Royal Highness.

You need the medicine.

I shouldn't have admitted.

But even if I don't confess, it will be no difference as long as he thinks so.

Your Royal Highness.

What happened?

Wu Dehou

Your Royal Highness

Wu Dehou

What's up with him?

It's me

Investigate.

Thorough investigation.

Gu Silin left the capital?

Dad.

Call him back.

Dad

He can't leave before we could find out the truth.

I caused a trouble for uncle.

Your Royal Highness

Now.

Really can't leave the capital?

All the registered maids, eunuchs and ministers can't go through the palace.

Allow me to remove my black gauze cap first.

And remove me from the position, then can I enter?

Registered?

Your Royal Highness

I am not a maid now.

Or...

I can talk to the commander.

You want to take the risk?

I won't get you involved.

If you dare to...

You should go back first.

And apply the medicine.

Ok?

What do you tell her to do?

For Wu Dehou

This time, I have to protect myself first.

I don't trust Zhang Luzheng.

You should tell him. Don't sabotage my plan.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

No.

You can't move.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

Your...

Your Royal Highness

Your Ro...

Help me...

Send a letter.

Tell her to go.

She can do it?

She has some relationship with prince Qi.

And we don't know her background.

Except her, anyone is better than her?

This time,

I need her.

Your Royal Highness

I will change another one.

You do it.

How can I imitate your calligraphy?

I write you the letter.

I taught you before.

Just use the characters in the inscription.

You want to write.

I am sorry for what the emperor did.

You need to stay where you should.

I will take care of myself.

Don't worry about me.

I am writing you the letter and hope you could forget all the unhappiness.

Forget all the unhappiness.

You didn't practice these characters well.

Leave it to me.

Promise me one thing.

You can't give the quails to others.

Who are you going to give?

Go to chancellor's residence.

Forget all the unhappiness.

Never mention it again.

Here is the message for him.

Tell him I am fine.

But after this, I will prove the case.

I want to end the trouble once and for all.

Prove what?

Tell Zhang Luzheng

All because I was muddle-headed.

I mislabelled them as Li Baizhou's family.

I will never investigate the case is in my hands.
