Your Majesty.

Crown prince, behave.

Yes.

From illustrious virtue of great learning.

We know.

The ancients who wished to illustrate inllustrious virtue

throughout the kingdom.

First ordered well their own states.

Wishing to order well their states.

They first regulated their families.

Wishing to regulate their families,

they first cultivated their persons.

Wishing to cultivate their persons.

they first rectified their hearts...

Here.

Here.

crown prince, you have the crown.

Everyone is watching you.

You don't know to cultivate yourself?

Thank you for your instructions.

So now everyone of you knows what we are going to talk about.

If not, I think you know now.

Yes.

I am trying to talk about the crown prince's manners.

Also the crown prince's virtue.

Crown prince, do you know what's the problem?

Please...

The former royal minister Lu Ying.

Lu Ying's case.

Lu Ying's case has been over for months.

Now I have the time to talk about the case.

Lu Ying really did something wrong.

But the fault is violating the national ceremony.

And it happened in crown prince's marriage ceremony.

I also granted the amnesty that the case would be under investigation.

Under investigation.

But he died before I could do anything.

But Lu Ying and his son were executed because...

At that time the crown prince and the chancellor...

All of you tell me.

Because of what charge?

The former chancellor Li was brought into justice.

So I told them to execute his father, mother and wife.

So Lu Ying's father and son are the clan of Li's wife?

I have said, behave.

Your Majesty

Lu Ying and his son

I am not sure.

Not sure.

So you just allowed them to kill our unconvicted important official?

That’s because…

Because.

Chancellor reported this right?

Yes.

It’s me.

Chancellor.

You worked in the department of justice for so many years.

You know the laws best right?

Yes, your Majesty.

The unconvicted official died innocently.

It’s…

Capital crime.

Your Majesty.

I.

I

If it’s true.

We have national laws.

Lu Ying is an important official.

The crown prince and the chancellor.

The case.

We need to investigate the case.

Even the crown prince and the chancellor are involved in malfeasance.

I should be more vigilant.

Yes, your Majesty.

Crown prince.

You are not sure that they are the clan of Li's wife?

Yes.

I am not sure.

Send them to investigate Huating.

Then we will talk about it.

You have no objections right? Crown prince.

Your Majesty

I.

No objections.

Secretary, make the decree.

Your Majesty.

He is on leave.

On leave?

He will come back in ten days.

It's a serious matter.

We can't decide in one day.

We will make it after my secretary comes back.

Then I will choose an imperial commisionary.

Ok, move to the next topic.

Did they repair Yanzuo palace?

Minister Huang.

Your Majesty

I am repairing it under your instructions.

Royal minister Lu’s case.

Your Majesty.

So it ends so easily?

Royal minister He, what are you talking about?

Your Majesty, what's your decree?

You didn't hear my secretary was on leave?

You didn't hear my secretary was on leave?

Come on, he just got back from his parent's funeral.

He is not here.

We still have so many scholars.

If necessary, I can write for you.

Royal minister He.

We have national laws.

We have national laws.

They won't work for royal minister Lu?

He is innocent.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you want to cover someone up?

The chancellor or the crown prince?

He Shizhao

If you are skeptical...

Not only me.

The whole censorate is skeptical.

We are skeptical.

Please tell the judiciary departments to investigate royal minister Lu's case.

You want to...

Yes.

In the court, you mentioned the case.

But you are still so indecisive.

Who knows...

if we will go on investigating it.

I...

He Shizhao, you

No…

You.

What are you doing?

We still don't know the fact.

You are coercing the crown prince.

Shut up.

What’s the truth?

You still don't know? Chancellor.

You.

You are the head of the three judiciary departments.

You.

You have no evidence.

No evidence?

No evidence?

I will show you.

Bring it up.

Your Majesty.

This is…

Your Majesty.

This is pedigree of Li Baizhou's clan.

Secretary's step father and mother died.

It's ok that he goes to the funeral again.

I have found the truth.

I have the evidence.

Your Majesty.

Who do you want to cover up?

Chancellor.

Yes.

Where's the pedigree from?

You should explain it.

Chancellor, please be thoughtful.

When the time comes, you need to answer for royal minister Lu's case.

Then you should resign.

That's all.

Dismiss.

Your Majesty.

I

The former royal minister Lu Ying.

It's me.

I mislabelled him as the clan of Li's wife.

I know.

Chancellor, you should...

But...

Changing the pedigree of Li's clan,

and killing royal minister Lu and his son are not my intention.

Someone told me to do so.

Told you?

Chancellor.

You should think it over.

Crown prince.

Frame up the crown prince.

I have evidence.

Take chancellor down.

The day before yesterday he told me keep mouth shut.

This is the crown prince's letter.

Your Majesty.

It's not me.

Someone wants to...

Your Majesty.

Please probe into it.

You should see it yourself.

Your Majesty. It's not me.

How do you explain this?

Why?

I have said.

All of you should pay for what you did.

The emperor doesn't investigate the case.

You should stay where you should.

Don't need to worry.

I am writing you this letter.

Forget all the unhappiness.

We will never mention it.

What's this?

Crown prince.

We need the explanation.

It's not my...

What goes around comes around.

It's her.

What's happening on earth?

That seal.

I don't understand.

She didn't throw it away.

No matter what happens in the court,

crown prince will have countermeasures.

Order well the states, regulate family and cultivate oneself.

You even did the filthy thing.

So this is the virtue of the country?

The future of the country?

Your Royal Highness.

You failed minister Lu.

You failed…

It’s not the truth.

Your Majesty.

Royal minister Lu didn’t fail our country.

Let alone the crown prince

Why did you do the filthy thing?

Why? Why?

He Shizhao, shut up.

I know who it is.

Lu Ying

He even allowed his daughter to marry you.

Who? Who framed...

Who? Who framed...

We have met before.

Your voice.

In the detached palace.

I offended you.

Please stay, your Royal Highness.

See it after you go back.

Minister Lu gave the seal to me.

Your Royal Highness.

I am not the real maid Gu.

I am the daughter of the criminal official.

I…

I entered the palace after my father and brother were in prison.

I know the horse and horse affairs very well.

I can help you.

A maid knows the horse and horse affair so well.

You want to ruin royal minister Lu.

Royal minister Lu.

I won't.

Lu Ying and his son.

are the clan of Li's wife.

Compared with the past,

You really

Changed.

Not me.

I

Have met you before, right?

Not in the detached palace.

You are…

Your daughter.

Just like the mountain and river.

I didn’t see it.

But I know

How beautiful it is.

Crown prince.

Crown prince

Crown prince

The emperor is asking you.

Do you have anything to say?

I

Have nothing to say.

Who?

They need your explanation.

I need, too.

I need, too.

Crown prince.

You should think it carefully.

Yes.

I.

Stop.

I have said, it's me.

Crown prince.

I will go back and wait for your imperial decree.

Xiao Dingquan.

Please

Even if you have scars.

Please be a young and clean man.

It shouldn't be remembered.

Please

Wait for me.

Your Majesty.

Please punish the crown prince severely.

Dethrone the crown prince.

Miss Lu.

Something big is happening in the court.

Miss, you should go.

What a big deal?

And...

Where can I go?

You talk so, the crown prince won't let me go.

I am afraid…

He will let me go.

Hurry.

Miss.

It’s late.

So.

You should go now.

You can't get the emperor involved.

You still dare to stay here?

Wang.

What else I can't do?

Tie her.

Send her to the department of justice.

No.

No…

Send her to the imperial prison.

And torture her.

Tie her.

Where is she?

Who?

Crown prince.

Lu

You are asking...

You mean miss Gu?

Where is she?

Attendant Wang arrested her with men.

Go fetch me some things.

You are going to die...

How...

Let he go.

Let he go.

I say, let her go.

Crown prince

It’s ok.

You want to ask her in person?

Get out.

I want to...

interrogate her in person.

Yes.

Go.

Go.

I so envy...

the one who can see her...

I loved you.

It's not good for a girl to tell such a lie.

You should see the lie as truth.

Can you?

One day.

Let me stay here for another day.

The crown prince don't expose oneself to the danger.

I am sorry, I don't think you deserve one day.

You

Who are you?

Tell me.

You are nothing, compared with her.

I am sorry.

You can punish me as you want.

You can punish me as you want.

Don't drive me away.

I have no where to go.

I will do as you say in the future.

Don’t drive me away.

None of my concern.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Only not him.

Your Royal Highness.

Want to abandon me again?

Can I...

Touch you?

You will uphold justice for the innocent people after they die right?

I said something stupid.

It won't happen in the future.

Let me sort it out.

Be it the imperial guards, or the department of justice.

I will go.

What's this?

Can I touch you?

What did I say?

What did I say?

I have told you before.

I have told you before.

Maid Chen.

Maid Chen.

She is not as vicious and wicked as them.

All my fault.

All my fault.

All my fault.

I should have stopped her.

Wang

Stand up.

Queen.

Queen.

I am sorry.

I can’t stop them.

Please protect the crown prince.

Lady Zhang told me

I have good hair.

If she could see your...

You don't know who is lady Zhang.

After all, at that time you...

She is my mother's maid.

Died.

If she were still alive...

my mother were still alive.

at the mid-autumn festival, it won't be...

It hurts.

It still hurts.

I counted in the beginning.

Then I forgot because it's so painful.

I was thinking why I didn't faint.

Why...

I didn't die.

You have said, no need to tolerate it when it hurts a lot.

Chen Jin told me to bite her hand.

I thought it was so mortifying.

Then nothing matters.

I couldn't grasp the pen.

I don't dare to use the seal because of him.

I did plan to abandon you if necessary.

I thought, if it's true,

I will think of you.

I will regret.

Maybe I don't feel a thing.

After all, you are not the only one that I abandon, fail and dream of.

What's your difference from others?

Do you have anything particular?

A'bao.

Commander, why are you here?

Help me.

Commander.

Commander.

Your Majesty.

How will you deal with the crown prince?

Where is the crown prince?

Commander.

He is inside, right?

Let him out.

Commander.

Commander.

Crown prince.

Crown prince, I am innocent.

He is innocent.

You should kill me.

Kill me.

So I won't regret.

I won't apologize.

Let alone compensate.

These...

Crown prince, Xiao Dingquan, here is the imperial decree.

Take him.

I mean it.
