Stop

Grand Minister

Madam has ordered

that after we arrive,

all the lights must be extinguished

Look

Extinguished

Extinguish the lights

Grand Minister

Mind the steps

Grand Minister

Scribe Yan

brought a stranger

to my room

She asked you to wait here

Young Master Han

Where have you been

these days?

Why are you leaving so soon?

Han Shiyuan

Shiyuan ran away

Are you sure he's Han Shiyuan?

It's him

He ran like that that day

Wearing the same clothes

Exactly the same

Right

Exactly the same

That day,

you were startled by the Mingtang's firelight

combined with the lights and shadows

He headed west

That day,

you never

saw his face clearly

It's not him

But just now it was clearly him

It was him that day too

The one in the room just now was not him

And it wasn't him that day

It was his shadow

That day,

Lan Guizhou borrowed his shadow

and impersonated Han Shiyuan

creating the illusion inside the house

Then he disguised himself as Han Shiyuan

and went westward

Just happened to encounter

the fire in the east Ming Hall

creating a bright light

which distracted attention

to the point where

the eyewitness scholars mistakenly believed

that he was Han Shiyuan

This is pure conjecture

On the seventh day of May,

Shiyuan was clearly in the house

and then went out west

The problem is,

whether it was you

or outside the house,

the eyewitness scholars

all stated

that only Han Shiyuan

left the house

You were inside the house

with the lights on

creating a bright interior and dark exterior

How did you see

Han Shiyuan going west?

Scribe Yan is right

The house had lights on

They couldn't see the outside clearly

As for why the forgery happened

on the night of May seventh

when Han Shiyuan was still at Hongwen Institute,

we have to ask

his good roommate

Take him away

Just leave

Ah Pan

Thank you so much today

A trivial skill

Nothing to be proud of

Who exactly is this Ah Pan?

I see the lady and him

chatting and laughing

They seem like old acquaintances

Scribe Yan

I still have things to do today

So I won't stay long

You're leaving already?

I haven't had the chance

to thank you properly

If it's meant to be, we'll meet again

If you need help in the future

come find me at Ghost Market

It's a promise

Really?

Yes

Madam has never been so joyful

in the mansion before

All thanks to Ah Pan today

for smoothly solving the case

Are you going back without me?

We haven't interrogated yet

Figure it out on your own

What's gotten into you again?

Grand Minister, I checked

that Ah Pan's name is Pan Chi

He has solved several suspicious cases in Jiangnan

Grand Minister

Are we starting the interrogation now?

Ask your questions

Interrogate if needed

Shut up

Madam

How's the interrogation going?

Madam, you finally arrived

We've been waiting for you

She should show up by this time

Get started with the interrogation

Do you think

that after Han Shiyuan eloped

he would not reappear?

So you forged his presence

to frame him for the murder

Yes

Indeed

Shiyuan clearly said

he'd run away with his lover on the sixth

I didn't intend to harm Shiyuan

I knew he was leaving

I just wanted to use his name

But that doesn't seem

to be your motive for murder, right?

You keep circling around Han Shiyuan

but you never mention

the student you killed

You haven't told me yet

why you killed him

He...

What's there to mention about him?

He damaged my poetry collection

Shouldn't he die?

Just because

he ruined your poetry collection

you killed him?

That collection is important to me

Shiyuan

He's my only friend

Since Shiyuan started

being with Yan Caiwei

I've stayed up many nights

transcribing that poetry collection

It was a gift for Shiyuan

My poetry collection

It's just a copied poetry collection

Do you think you're Pan Yanzhi?

Thinking that there'll be someone

who consider this tattered poetry collection

as a treasure?

A stack of waste paper

My collection

How dare he destroy it

and even ridicule me

You're a murderer

and intentionally framed Han Shiyuan

Actually,

deep down, you wish for him

to hear the news and come back

After Han Shiyuan returned to Xiang'an,

he disappeared

Have you seen him?

Where did you hide Han Shiyuan?

In the west market

An abandoned wine cellar

This Lan Guizhou

is actually abusing animals here

He is so twisted inside

It's no wonder he developed murderous intentions

because of a collection of poems

This Han Shiyuan

was abducted by someone else again

It's a signal from the Internal Affairs Office

Towards Furong Garden

Shen Du

Can't you just let me

sit properly on the horse?

Hand

Jing Lin

My leg feels a bit numb

Could you support me?

You talk tough

Just do not show off in the future

Jing Lin

Go save her quickly

My...

My third sister is up there

Hurry and let them put out the fire and save her

The situation is unusual

Don't act rashly

You can disregard lives

But I can't

If you won't save me, I'll go

Stop

Be careful

It's Leng Yan

She's here

Like a moth to a flame

Born at dawn, die at dusk

Neither entering nor leaving the cycle of life and death

Neither living nor dying in the cycle of life and death

All fools of the world

Me, Chen Huo'e

have been back

Chen Huo'e

The serial killer from five years ago

Wasn't she supposed to

have committed suicide five years ago?

The dead can't come back to life

This is merely a cover-up

It's probably just a distraction

There are actually people

facing my rebirth Nirvana formation

and remaining so calm and composed

Truly worthy of White Impermanence

It's pity that

even if you're the soul-snatching

White Impermanence

you can't stop me

from being reborn

Then I'll capture you, evil spirit

and send you back to hell

Caiwei

Third Sister

Han

Third Sister

Yan Xing

Grand Minister

Assistant Yang is here

It seems that tonight

Princess Yong'an

will inquire about this

The Guard by the Empress Dowager's side

also took action together

It made me a bit confused

This...

Prince Ying

only instructed me to save Han

I do not know the rest

Grand Minister, Assistant Yang

I was too hasty in saving the person just now

I hope it did not delay your matters

No wonder

the Imperial Guard

wearing the royal sword was mobilized

So it turns out

it's the one by the Empress Dowager's side,

Attendant Zhang

Shiyuan

How did things end up like this?

Are you hurt?

Are you okay?

Forget it

As long as you're okay

You must remember

to be careful in the future

Don't let yourself

fall into such a predicament

Grand Minister Shen

Today's events were unusual,

fortunately you were here

In the future, the Internal Affairs Office

must pay more attention to this matter

You have to capture

the mastermind behind the scenes

to prevent future problems

This's our responsibility

If it weren't for your hasty actions,

the culprit would have already been caught

Under the urgency of the situation,

there were some offenses

Hope Grand Minister can forgive

The reappearance of Chen Huo'e

is peculiar

And the investigation

will rely heavily on Grand Minister

I still need to return to accompany the Empress Dowager

I'll take my leave first

Han Shiyuan

Her Highness asked me to tell you something

As long as you're willing,

Her Highness's intentions have not changed

Han Shiyuan

About tonight,

do you have anything to say?

I don't know anything

Regarding the murder of the students of Hongwen Institute,

Yan Xing has already

cleared you of suspicion

Tonight,

both you and Yan Caiwei were victims

If you have nothing to say,

hurry and take her

back to the Yan residence

Your brother-in-law

is surprisingly connected

to Princess Yong'an

and Zhang Baohuan

It's quite unexpected

Yes

Han Shiyuan seems to be familiar

with Zhang Baohuan

and be close with Princess Yong'an

But they saved him

Yet he showed no gratitude at all

He even acted as if he didn't know them at all

There must be a reason behind this

But my third sister,

appears to be genuinely

ignorant of everything

I know

From start to finish,

I never once thought

of troubling your third sister

Just now,

I acted recklessly

In a moment, I have to

go to the Ministry of Justice to check the files

Will you...

come with me?

Yes

I'll go

Come on, buddies

Place two here,

and then two more here

At the entrance,

place two on both sides

Make sure the lanterns are aligned

Make the Grand Minister can see clearly

Retreat

This is too much

Why bring so many?

Are the candles free?

I found it

Five years ago,

the wicked Chen Huo'e committed crimes,

murdering

over fifty women in succession

Behind the deceased women,

a burnt

giant moth brand was found

For a moment, the whole country was in panic

Families with daughters

all stayed indoors

In the end,

the heinous Chen Huo'e

was captured by the Imperial Court of Justice

Surprisingly, she was a

ugly-faced woman

She arrogantly claimed

to know the secret of death and resurrection,

declaring she would return

Chen Huo'e, at the scene of capture,

cut her own pulse and died

Before her death,

she left behind a phrase

The moth rushes into the flame,

born at dawn, dead at dusk,

not entering the cycle of rebirth,

not escaping the cycle of rebirth

The moth rushes into the flame,

born at dawn, dead at dusk,

not entering the cycle of rebirth,

not escaping the cycle of rebirth

Lady Tang

These two cases,

have no similarities

from motives to methods

But looking at the cases alone,

these two cases

couldn't have been done by one person

It was a group committing the crimes

Whether it's

Lady Tang killing and burying,

or the five years ago

brutal murders by Chen Huo'e,

or even

the enigmatic events tonight,

the Nirvana layout,

none of this

could be done by one person

It's not just a simple group crime

Take tonight's events for example

The relationships behind them are intricate

I'm afraid this Chen Huo'e

is just a scapegoat

The Chen Huo'e tonight

Is she the same person

who was executed five years ago?

Whether she is the same person or not

The Chen Huo'e from five years ago

disappeared after the crime

That means the person behind it

no longer needed her

And five years later

Chen Huo'e reappears

That means the person behind it

has a need again

Yes

What does he really want?

The complexities behind this

A slight mistake

could lead to a disaster

Mom

The night-blooming jasmine in the backyard is in bloom

So I picked a bunch

and brought it to you

Now that you're alone over there

Do you feel lonely?

How about

I sing you a song?

Remember when I was young

The song you sang me to sleep

Do not speak carelessly

Lest the old lady get upset

The flowers picked by mother never cease to bloom

And grandfather always delights in hearing music

The flowers picked by mother never cease to bloom

Who's that?

It's my first time

hearing someone sing a nursery rhyme in the graveyard

It's already late at night

It's indeed a unique charm

It's you

Ghost-faced buddy, I've seen you before

When I used to visit

my mother here,

I often saw you around here

Do you have relatives nearby too?

Yes

My mother

is buried nearby

I didn't know

There are other family graves

around here

Feng Shui treasures near Xiang'an City

naturally bought by noble families

and wealthy households

and made into ancestral tombs

Yet we normal can only huddle in

the remote corners of the cemetery

seeking a place

to dwell underground

This graveyard

was purchased at great expense

by my father

Indeed, it's grand and imposing

But I know

that my mother

didn't wanna be all alone here

She must have hoped

to make more friends

So I guess

my mother and your mother

must have become

good neighbors and friends

Good friends?

You are

somewhat different

Why are you wearing a mask?

Is it because your face is injured?

I have had an ugly birthmark

on my face since birth

It's a grotesque shape

Anyone who sees my face

will be scared and have nightmares

Do you wanna see it?

Wait a moment

Let me mentally prepare myself

Can you count to five while I prepare?

Five

Four

Three

Two

One

Hey, buddy

Just leave?

Your hand has not been treated

I had Steward Shen

bring all kinds of medicinal ointments

from the mansion

See which one is most suitable for treating this

bite wound...

Why is it so serious?

Bitten by a puppy

It's no big deal

Steward Shen said

there's a kind of red medicine

that was used by Yaya before

Bitten by Yaya,

it should be similar

to being bitten by me

Yeah

Yaya was bitten

by a mad dog before

Indeed, it's quite similar

Is this your way of apologizing?

What am I apologizing for?

You didn't explain yourself clearly

and cause misunderstandings

Besides,

you were injured all night

Didn't you even ask

Jing Lin to bandage it up for you?

Why do you have to wait for me?

I...

Let go of me

Go

Let go of me

Let go

Go

Let go of me

Ah Du

Though you were saving her

you still need to be careful

If that arrow had

veered another inch,

she would undoubtedly be dead

Father

I won't miss my shot

And we need to keep someone alive

for interrogation

I am Shen Du

Are you okay?

Are you still the same

mysterious young man I remember

who descended with divine weapons?

Who's that?

Yan Xing

What is going on here?

Are you doing this on purpose?

Of course not

I'm sorry, I made a mistake

You...

I'll wash it off for you now

Be good

Don't move

You did it on purpose

Lord

Come on, Yan Xing

Sit here and have some tea

Let's chat for a while

Any new rumor about me again?

No, of course not

There are no rumors

Right, Lord?

It's just that...

We all agree that

we've got a demoness now

And this demoness

is very powerful

She dare scold White Impermanence

What a pity

Eventually,

she was still

turned upside down by White Impermanence

and paraded through the streets

Well, as for a woman

She still needs to

be gentle

That would be better

Lu Chuichui

You're late again

Not only late but also

with a sullen expression

What were you doing yesterday?

Nothing

What are you like?

Feng Gui

Lord

Chen Huo'e resurrected last night

The Grand Minister of the Internal Affairs Office

sent the case file early this morning

So this case...

When I came in,

the one in charge of reading the file,

Ji Fangming, gave it to me

Here

It says it's from Wannian County

Xuanping District in Wannian County

had a murder case

The victim was a former official

who had resigned and returned home

Chen Shoujie's wife

It's nothing, just a woman died

As stated by Master Wu,

Is it only men's lives and deaths

that are considered important?

Are women's lives

not worth being valued?

What did I say?

Since marrying into the Shen's family

your temper has grown

Good

Forget what I said

Feng Gui

Have an investigator check it out

Lord

The coroner's report states

the deceased died last night

with a large fire moth on her shoulder,

It's...

It's similar to the victims

in Chen Huo'e's murder case

five years ago

It's Chen Huo'e again

Master Wu

Please let me investigate this case

Since this case

is related to Chen Huo'e's resurrection,

it should be handed over

to the Internal Affairs Office

That's right

We, the Ministry of Justice

shall not get involved in this

Yes, we shall not do that

Grand Minister is your husband

But in Shen's family, you are just

a punching bag

White Impermanence take you with him

to investigate

No

Vice Manager is here

Greetings to Vice Manager Lai

Vice Manager Lai

White Impermanence is not willing to take

Black Rakshasa

is eager to invite Scribe Yan

to assist in the investigation together

Master Wu

Five years ago

I was in charge of investigating

the case of Chen Huo'e

I have long been acquainted with

Miss Yan's investigative methods

Since you are also interested in

the case of Chen Huo'e

Why not

take up a position in my Imperial Court of Justice

and help me capture the real culprit?

Thank you for your favor, Lord Lai

I'm just a humble scribe from the Ministry of Justice

I only hope that in the future

I can join in the selection of female officials

and obtain the position of a historian

There is no intention to change departments

Since Lady Shen refuses,

then

let's meet another day

Farewell, Lord Lai

Stop the car

May Royal Highness be safe

Han

It's been a while since we last met

Today we unexpectedly meet

Are you still planning to avoid me?

I dare not

What are you doing, Han?

Stand up and answer

Your Royal Highness

I am just a commoner

I'm afraid of tainting the princess's eyes

What do you mean?

Love cannot be forced

Since you already

have someone in your heart

I'll respect that

Thanks the princess for your great kindness

Let's go

Your Highness
