He lied to me first

So, so

He has fault too

It was his fault indeed

But

What did you steal in Zhu's mansion this time?

This is humiliating!

This is so humiliating!

My clothes!

Sir

Sorry about the clothes

It's my fault

I'm damn!

Go away! Go away!

Lordship Zhu, what's wrong?

My robes have been stolen

And it happened in my house!

No. It's not stealing

It's a robbery!

It's a robbery!

If I had caught the guy,

I'm gonna rip him a new one!

My robes!

Where is the thief?

Have you caught him?

His Highness

I have asked the guards everywhere,

but I did not find anything unusual

Nothing unusual...

My robes!

We're all doomed

Back to my residence!

Sorry, my Lord

We failed

Have you had any luck identifying it?

Is she Nongying?

She's wearing a veil

I can't identify her

But their figures

are almost the same

I would have caught her,

but another person appeared

He used an item giving off the bright light,

and we felt dizzy

So he could pulled her out of there

That's it

The Copper Lotus of Nine-Petals

This is

the long lost stratagem of Duan Family, right?

Will Duan Family also be their helping hand?

Let's go

Buddies

I'm back

Changle

Zhang Meng

Lordship Zhu

What did the thief steal?

I hope you can make it clear,

so I can find the laws

Well...

What she has stolen doesn't matter

Right?

What's important is

who

did that, right?

Is there a grand thief in this world?

Or the Zhu mansion was heavily guarded,

why were we unable to find any trace of the thief?

Perhaps the thief

has already stolen robes,

and then he put the word out

No, I don't think so

Lordship Zhu

It is too early to say for sure

But Lordship Gongsun's analysis is nice

I've said that not gonna happen!

How can you be certain of this?

Because what she has stolen was my robes

And his official hat

We've found his robes

except the hat

But you may wear the robes

How can she steal it?

She has put me down!

She robbed me!

She robbed me!

I've checked this out

Word of this originally

came from Donglai Inn

The girl has threatened to me that

a grand thief will come to my mansion

And she has bet with all the guests there

Anything else?

I also found that...

Say it

...the time of the Crown Princess going out

is consistent with the word getting out

It seems that Lordship Zhu

knows clearly what's going on in the Prince's mansion

I dare not

I just think that the Crown Princess is a solid suspect

So I have to deal with that

A solid suspect?

Well

Just tell us why the Crown Princess is a solid suspect

I remember when I was drugged yesterday,

I seemed to see her shadow

and to hear her voice

I think the thief was a female

Lordship Zhu

You know, there are thousands of females in the world

So that's why

you're suspicious of the Crown Princess?

And

Liu Yuyao is a girl

who hasn't left the Prime Minister mansion for many times

Do you think

she can get past the guards

to break into the house

and steal your robes?

Well...

I mean...

would Liu Sheng has trained Liu Yuyao

as a phantom thief?

If it was true,

she could have killed me instead

And

why bother?

Fine

I'll look into it

Leave me

Excuse me, My Lords

My nephew,

what do you think of the Crown Princess?

I think the Crown Princess may be suspicious,

but the Prince gave a very defensive answer

General Shen haven't given us orders,

so we couldn't say

as subordinates, right?

Liu Yuyao must

deceive the Prince

Sometimes,

if the lords take no action,

we the subordinates

should share their worries

Lordship Zhu, you mean...

You're just permitted to go out

You should dare to spend the night outside

I dispatched someone to look for you last night

Did you know I was really worried about you?

If you hurt yourself,

what am I gonna tell your father the Emperor?

It's my fault

I've seen the error of my ways

Don't be mad, okay?

You've grown up. Where's your manners?

Be proper

Mom

I have learned it already

Where did you go last night?

I...

I left the palace last night

and drank with my friend outside the palace

After last night's party,

I stayed there

Your friend outside the palace?

Who is he?

He's...

I shouldn't tell you

Because he knew it's also his fault

and was afraid that you're going to blame him

So I dare not tell you who he is

And I agree not to

give his name

Well, your way of making friends is nice

Alright

Thinking of your personal loyalty,

I will not get to the bottom

Just this once, OK

I know

But

I also want to ask permission

to leave the palace

You still want to go out?

Well,

I know My father the Emperor's rheumatism comes back,

but doctors in the palace can't heal him

I know a doctor in Qiming City

He has home remedies for rheumatism

I just want to bring it for My father the Emperor

So your approval would be appreciated

Now Heng'er

knows

how to make your father the Emperor happy

I'm delighted with you

But I've

gotten that meds

You can bring it to your father the Emperor

OK

That's thoughtful

Meds are kept by Xiaoshan

Go for it on your own

Yes

So...

I'm leaving

Xiaoyu

I'm here

Where did the Fifth Prince go

and who did he meet

should be found out

Yes, madam

Greetings, Your Crown Princess

Is the soup for the Prince?

Yes

Let me do it

OK

Please excuse me

It's not easy to work a case, right?

You deserve it!

How can you lied to me!

My dear princess

It's getting cold

It's fine

You made the soup yourself

How can I miss it?

Well...

It's fine

It's quite spicy

But it can keep me warm

So...

if you're busy,

I...

I'm not busy

It's a robbery

I'm going to go through them later

It must be some clues we'd ignored

Do you need to be so serious?

You know, I haven't been getting on well with the Empress

And My father the Emperor

asked me to work the case

If I hadn't handled it well,

the Empress will tell me off

When that moment happen,

I will have a difficult time

I'm sorry

Why did you say that?

Because

you're devoted to that case,

as your wife,

I can't help you

I'm so sorry

That's it?

I'm the lord of supreme court

That's what I do

And I don't need your help

If I can't handle it well,

that'll just be an intent of the incompetence of me

A question for you

You're the Prince

The Prince should live in the palace, right?

Why do you live outside the palace?

And...

And why are you the lord of supreme court?

After my mother died,

Li Heng's mother became the Empress,

she told to my father

that I should gain some experience

and govern the supreme court

But then she said

it's more convenient to work the case outside the palace

I know what she's thinking

well enough

My poor prince

But

It's good to live outside, right?

There will be more trouble inside

I feel comfortable to live outside

Don't worry

I'm here

I'm not gonna let the Empress do that to you!

Well, as a girl,

how can you protect me?

I...

I...

Fine

And I have one question for you too

If one day

I conflict with your grandfather,

who will you help?

Definitely I'll help you

I...

But...

Forget it

It's all my fault

I shouldn't ask you that embarrassing question

Just leave me alone

I have to get to this

This case...

Actually you don't have to be in sort of a rush

The thief won't steal again

Why?

Because I believe that

she must know that

you've struggled against her, right?

That is not a risk she's willing to take

I can't tell, really

Because the thief

obviously was coming for me

Now she didn't get what she wants

I think

she won't give up easily

I wouldn't be so sure about that

Perhaps

the thief is beginning to regret

Regret?

I'm guessing in the dark

Well...

Do what you got to do

I'm going to have a rest

Take care of yourself

OK

Night subterfuge clothes?

Where are you going to steal today?

I'm not

So you...

You'll know it in the morning

Just stand over there

You can go now

Greetings, Lordship Gongsun

Where is Prince?

Prince is in his study

Where is the Crown Princess?

She may fall asleep now

Have you checked it out?

We're not in the same room

No?

So

you haven't seen her

during these nights of robbery, right?

No

As I thought,

it's not unreasonable to suspect her

You'd better check it out as soon as possible

I...

But I have no grounds for it

In this way my intention is obvious

Screw it

If you don't check it out for it's face-saving,

I'll go

No way

It's the Crown Princess's palace,

what are you going for?

What's up?

Li Che

Just think of

what the Shen Empress has said

and General Shen's earnest teachings

They're looking forward to...

Well

You can go, okay?

That's right

I'm gonna go

Lordship Gongsun

Why were you here?

Where is the Crown Princess?

I have something to ask her

The Crown Princess has already slept

If you have to talk to her,

please come here tomorrow

It's an emergency!

I have to see her now!

It's getting pretty late

If you go to see her now,

there will be some rumors

So you'd better ask the Prince in advance

The Prince has already granted

Alright

Well, follow me

Gongsun Mo

You

call a doctor!

You, prepare for the brazier

You, use it to make hot water!

Yes

Quick

Why did Lordship Gongsun

behave like this after drown?

If he's drown,

there will be a big problem!

My Prince

He's already taken the meds

He'll be fine

But he's been catching a severe cold

I know how slight is my talent and how superficial my scholarship,

so I can't eradicate that...

You know, he's been catching a severe cold,

you don't have to talk about it

A severe cold?

What is it?

When I was a kid,

Gongsun Mo saved my life,

but he fell into the icy lake

And then he caught a severe cold

That's how he got her bad health

It'll come back as soon as he gets cold

Thank God

It's just the right time

When will he wake up?

I'm not sure

Go out

Yes

I'll take the meds he often takes

Take care of him

Yes

Lordship Gongsun

You're awake

Nongying

Take me to the Crown Princess

Lordship Gongshun, you're injured

You'd better take a rest

How about seeing her tomorrow?

No, I need to see her now!

The Crown Princess has already slept

You'd better see her tomorrow, right?

You're doing what you can to block me

You are guilty, aren't you?

Lordship Gongsun, what do you mean?

I worry about you

You're ungrateful,

but you can't sling mud at me!

Whether I have done that or not,

it will tell as long as I see the Crown Princess

Lordship Gongsun

Lordship Gongsun

Where are you going?

The Crown Princess has slept, right?

You're drown

and made such a big fuss

If I didn't come to see you,

it's impolite, right?

I heard that you want to talk to me

Yes

As soon as you're fine,

you can talk to me, right?

Just have a rest

My lord!

Look

Well...

Where did you find it?

When I came to your room,

I found it's at the door

along with your hat

and a letter

A letter?

My father the Emperor

What Lordship Zhu has lost

has been sent back

The thief sent them back?

Yes

And it's enclosed a letter

Read it

It was a spur of the moment

It's just for fun

to steal your possessions

and put them outside the Prince's mansion

But I never knew the Prince doubled his efforts to that

I know I can't

dodge a bullet

I'm fearful

So

I offered what I have stolen

I was a frog in a well

and I came to the supreme court to challenge you

I've seen the error of my ways

His Highness, please don't trace it

Your Majesty

Although we haven't caught the thief,

he returned them

and made an apology along with a letter

That just proves the Prince worked effectively,

so the thief feels fearful

In my opinion

we should discipline him in due measure

and forgive him for stealing

That's his ruse

Pretending to surrender

in the hope that we drop our guard

Perhaps

he will steal again

In my opinion

We'd better catch the thief

to tie up loose ends

Your Majesty

The thief has stolen twice

not for money

It means he's not greedy for money

If we let him get away,

it can show the generosity in Pei State

That thief

robbed the Lordship Zhu's robes the other day

If we see him get away with this,

that will impair our state's dignity

Now

he made an apology with a letter

That much is clear to show he is truly repentant

Although we haven't caught him,

it's supposed to be a harsh deterrent

I think

we don't have to pursue the matter

Li Che

If he steals again,

you will bring him to justice

according to Lordship Liu's idea

I know

Duly noted, My father the Emperor

I'll obey the Emperor's decree

Yuyao

Why are you so happy?

Did something happen with that case?

You know, the thief

returned what he had stolen

My father the Emperor said I don't need to check it out

Well, I'm right

Should you be grateful, right?

Thank you

So the thief ate the humble pie

Well

These days,

I didn't get to spend a lot of time with you

I'll take you to go hunting

What about it?

Good

But I don't know how to hunt

I see

You are a girl

But

I will teach you

So...

How about

visiting my mother today?

I haven't seen her for a long time

And I don't know how she is

OK

But...

But I have a case in the supreme court

I'm sorry I can't go with you

It's fine

I can go myself

Take all of the time you need

Daddy

Here she is

You came back alone?

So?

He should let you come back alone

It means he trusts you, right?

Say it

What's your intention

for this visit?

I need to see my friends

At the appointed time,

you'll see them

I say I need to see them now!

I've been in the Prince's mansion for a long time

How can I know how you're treating them?

How can I know whether you feed and clothe them!

Right?

Shitou is growing so fast

If he's starving and stop growing,

what shall I do?

You can't see whoever you want to see

OK

Well, you said that

I will...

Let her see

Daddy

But...

She'll be fine as soon as she sees them

Why not

Changle, Changle, Changle

Aunt

Changle

All of you

Changle

Why were you here?

I mean, are you okay?

Not bad. Not bad

Okay

It's time

So...

I gotta go

Given a chance,

I'll come here to see you

Changle

Take care! Changle!

Sansi

Ask Liu the tailor

to make everyone a new suit

From now on,

serve them equally to us

Yes

Changle

Changle, Changle, Changle

I am as good as my word

I have said I'll take care of them,

so I will keep my promise

But

But I warn you

Don't play games with me!

If I had known

you're trying any more of your tricks,

I'll kill them all

I will!

OK

You have seen whom you want to see

You'd better forget

what you should do

After three months,

I'll set them free

That's a deal

Daddy

Do you really want to set her free

three months later?

She knows so much...

I'm supposed to kill her,

but I didn't think

she could have Prince's trust

I feel kind of attached to it

So what are you going to do?

Three months later,

I'll figure out a way to

let her stay

The Prince has said

we'll stay

in the tavern out of town tonight

And we'll set out to the hunting ground tomorrow morning

Did you listen to me?

If I can't take Li Che with us,

I must take you away with me

Are you still thinking of that?

You can't relate to the Prince

Now you want to be with him

Look at you!

Just make the days not hurt by being the Crown Princess, right?

When the time is right,

you and your friends

can come back to settle down in the mountain

It sounds better, right?

But if you want to stay with the Prince,

you could do it right now

What is it?

Being Liu Yuyao forever

You're not Changle any more

And you shouldn't think of saving your friends

That's not good

I can't sacrifice others

for me

And Shitou is just a little boy

If he has to stay in jail forever...

Poor boy!

Well, but you know

you have no control over

being Liu Yuyao forever

Sooner or later,

The Liu family and Shen family will have a fight

If Liu Sheng wins,

Li Heng will be the emperor

Even if he doesn't kill Li Che,

he's set to be under house arrest

If Li Che wins,

Liu Sheng will kill you

So

you need to do something about this

What's the trouble?

You'd better try to get out of it

The competing forces jostling for supremacy

is not the common people can do

Li Che and you

will come to a bad end

No

I'm going to figure this out

I'm sure we'll find a way

Well, just figure it out

I need to have a rest now

Your Empress, spare my life

I...

I don't know he's Prince

What did he talk to you?

He said

if he can pretend to be a servant

to the mansion,

he'll give me money

Mansion?

Which one?

Zhu Mansion

The mansion of Director of the Board of Rites, Lordship Zhu

It seems that Heng'er has grown up

Your Majesty the Empress

It's found in Fifth Prince's room

I don't want to have my throne

I just want the beauty

The beauty?

Zhu Yan

Zhu Yage has a good daughter, right?

Your prince

I don't get it all,

so I won't get up there with you

I see

It's just for hunting

Don't worry about it

Have a good rest

Watch out!

Miss

Nongying won't get up with you, either

You... I...

Lordship Gongsun gets sick because of me

I want to stay with him

Okay

Go

Am I stupid?

I don't even know to use arrows

No

When I learned to it,

I couldn't shoot an arrow with a bow

How old were you at that time?

Three

You compared me to you at the age of three?

I made it since I'd been learning for a long time

You're so smart

You'll make it

in three months!

When it's about to bloom here,

I'll take you here again

Three months later...

Perhaps I'm not here at that time

It's fine

I have a question

Have you ever thought about that?

If you were not the Prince,

what are you going to do?

I don't want to be the Prince?

I want to be a robber

I can do what I want to do

No one can control over me

Really?

You know, being a robber is so great

You're free to do what you want

And you can rob from the rich and give to the poor

Why did you know much about the robber?

From stories...

If only

everything could go like that in the stories

So

those who help me to be the emperor,

my mom's regrets

and my grandfather's expectations,

I can put all aside

So I can do whatever I want

It's not inappropriate to say like this,

right?

No

You can bring up something personal

I think it's good

Forget it

Over there

Shoot it! Shoot it!

They all ran away

Take it

Let go

You're so stupid

Love is...

Put the sword on the bow

Never mind, I'd love to

be possessed by you

Why did you touch me?

I can't shoot it!

Neither do you!

OK

Well,

we're not allowed to shoot, okay?

That's a deal

It's gone

My smile can be gentle

Over there

...with your company

...with your company

...with your company

Oh...

...with your company

...with your company

...with your company

I don't want to sing love songs this time

Look!

I made it!

It comes so fast

What about it?

Did you shoot it?

It's contains tears and tales

Where are you?

Never mind, I'd love to

I would like to wander with you every year

Oh...

I don't want to sing love songs this time

I just want to hold you in my arms

It's improper for man and woman to hold each other's hands!

What are you doing?

I'm your husband

Do you think I can't do that to you?

You are bad

...with your company

Where is the chicken?

...with your company

Oh...

It's up here

...with your company

You are bad

You are bad

I don't want to sing love songs this time

Your Highness

Lordship Zhu

Your Highness

I have urgent business with you

What' wrong?

May I speak to you for a moment?

Alright. I'm waiting for you here

May I speak to you for a moment?
