Episode 28
In order to defeat the Tartars completely
I've decided to send our army to attack them again.
Your Majesty is wise!
I've already prepared one hundred thousand strong warhorses.
Great General Wan Qian and Young General Wei Wu Ji
will each lead an elite cavalry of fifty thousand men.
They will take two routes to drive the Tartars back up to the north!
We obey the imperial decree!
Prefect of the Palace, Li Da
is to be the General of the Vanguard for General Wan Qian.
I obey the imperial decree!
Minister Coachman, Sima Zan, is to be the Left General.
I obey the imperial decree!
Lord lieutenant, Zhao Shi Qi, is to be the Right General.
I obey the imperial decree!
Marquess of Pingyang, Cao Xiang, is to be the General of the Rear.
I obey the imperial decree!
Your Majesty, I'm willing to follow the army to war
to assist our army to victory!
General Li, you're to stand by here in the Capital this time.
Your...
Your Majesty, I've been thinking about who to choose as my Deputy General.
Since General Li volunteers to go to war
I ask that Your Majesty allow General Li to assist me.
General Wei, don't you already have Zhao Meng Shan?
Your Majesty, Zhao Meng Shan did offer meritorious services previously.
But events on the battlefields change very quickly.
The key to victory could appear in the slightest moment.
If the General and Deputy General both think alike
and could work in coordination without verbal exchanges
our chances of victory will surely increase.
General Li and I both think alike.
If I could have his assistance
it would be as good as adding wings to a tiger.
Your Majesty, Young General Wei has a point.
No mistake is allowed in war.
Only if we work in great coordination
can we turn crisis into victory.
Your Majesty, I'd gladly work in harness for you!
I swear to kill the traitor, Zhao Zheng!
Since that is so
I will grant you your request.
- Thank you, Your Majesty! - Thank you, Your Majesty!
General Wei!
- Please halt. - Master Sima, what do you think?
We have a hundred thousand elite soldiers and horses.
We're sure to return in victory.
- I'll leave you both to talk. - Take care, Uncle.
If you're here to express gratitude no further words are needed.
We both really do think alike.
I won't say a word now.
But I will repay you on the battlefield for appreciating my ability.
Sure.
I think that His Majesty believes this war will decide the fate of the Tartars.
The King of Tartars is sure to send out all his men to protect his homeland.
In order to prevent any incident, His Majesty will send out his finest.
Then His Majesty surely doesn't consider me as one of the finest.
Do you think that's possible?
I can't think of any other reason.
I think that Madame Xiang is behind this.
The only person who can sway His Majesty's mind and cares about you
is Madame Xiang.
I think that she is doing this to repay your kindness
so she asked His Majesty to keep you away from danger.
If your assumption is right
she's meant well but done it the wrong way.
Who doesn't know that I hate it when all other go to war
while I stay home doing nothing like a failure?
When you have a wife and child
you won't think like this anymore.
Men like us who fought years of war
should spend more time with family before we leave for war.
I take my leave now.
Send my regards to your wife!
Is it repaying my kindness
or because men are all on the same side?
Did Qin Xiang stop me from going to war
because she won't take our side?
Wu Ji, you chose Li Ji as your Deputy General.
Won't you be worried that he won't obey your orders in war?
If you use a man, don't suspect him if you suspect him, don't use him.
You have a point, but...
Li Ji has great talent in warfare. It's a pity not to put him to use.
The power struggle here in Jian-An City is one matter
but it's a different matter when we face enemies at war.
Li Ji is a courageous man.
The nation and personal affairs must be prioritized, so I'm sure he understands.
Xiao Yue, you don't have to worry about me.
When have I ever misjudged anyone?
You're truly a mighty general for putting able men to good use.
I am deeply impressed.
You're leaving early tomorrow morning.
Get some rest now.
Xiao Yue...
I'm sorry.
You have to stay in Jian-An alone.
We will be gone for a while because of the war this time.
The soonest I could get back here is in three or four months.
Don't worry.
Don't you know me well enough yet?
Are you worried that I'll be bullied?
Moreover, there is Uncle Chen in the manor
and Empress Wan in the palace to watch over me.
Concentrate on your battle.
Hu Wei Li isn't that easy to tackle.
I know that.
As for you, why aren't you showing yet at four months?
I'll look my worse when you get home.
I must hide myself.
We'll meet up after our child is born.
I thought that you don't care about your appearance.
But you don't have to worry.
The sun is scorching and it's extremely dry in the desert.
I might be darker than an eel when I get home.
I'll be grateful by then if you don't give me a cold shoulder.
Luckily, I'm only going away for four months.
I'll still be back in time to see the birth of our child.
Otherwise, I'll really be anxious.
You won't get to see me even when you get home.
It's said that it's inauspicious for men to watch the delivery of the child.
That's why men could only wait outside the room.
Nonsense.
How could it be inauspicious when a man's beloved woman
gives birth to his child?
It should be a house filled with great joy.
You can be at ease to turn around to find me by your side.
Do you think that I'll let you off easily?
Everyone says that childbirth is very painful.
Especially the first child.
I'll be sure to make you watch.
When it gets too painful, I'll bite you a few times.
We'll be in pain together.
You can have a bite. Go ahead.
We'll be in pain and joy together.
Wu Ji, you must come home to me unscathed.
You must.
I'm very grateful to Ms. Hong for taking care of Miss Xin Yue.
If there is anything you need, order the servants by all means.
Thank you so much for your help.
Uncle Chen, please don't be so polite.
I'm thrilled to have Yue Er back.
I will surely take great care of her.
You can put your mind at ease.
Ms. Hong, you'll have to make more efforts then.
I'll take my leave now.
Please.
- You may both go. - Yes.
Why did you leave here alone but come back here with a bunch of people?
That's quite a parade.
It's still feels the most comfortable at home.
What does this mean?
Isn't Wei Manor your home?
It is when Wu Ji is at home.
It isn't when he's not.
What does that mean?
Now that Wu Ji isn't home
I'm neither his wife nor his guest.
Why would I stay there?
I also can't be bothered to handle the glares that come my way.
Judging by your words, are you fortunate or unfortunate to have met Wei Wu Ji?
Look! Do you see this?
What is this?
- You're not to say that anymore. - I see it!
I wonder who this child will take after?
It's fine as long as the baby doesn't take after you! Naughty lass!
Take after the wolves?
The servants in Wei Manor would only keep a watch over me.
It's better to be home with you to keep me company.
It isn't just me.
You're keeping me company as well.
When you're here, it reminds me of the great days in Fair Maiden's House.
After you and some girls left Fair Maiden's House
you've all found good husbands.
But I never thought Ding Ling would behave in such a way.
She would avoid me when she can
and pretend not to see me when we run into each other.
You have to be more understanding.
She is Madame Xiang's relative now.
It was fine when we were on good terms with Qin Xiang.
But she can't possibly go against her husband's family to be friends with us?
Be more cautious.
Are you still addressing her by her first name?
Whether I call Qin Xiang by her name or not
it doesn't change her attitude towards me.
That's right.
However, Wu Ji isn't in Jian-An now
and I'm carrying a child.
I should heed your advice to be a bit more cautious.
Your Highness, the little prince is growing day by day.
I'm afraid that the clothes for newborns won't fit anymore.
We might not need them, but someone else might.
Yes.
My birthday is coming up soon.
Summon Fair Maiden's House's Miss Xin Yue over.
I haven't seen this bosom friend of mine for a long time.
I'd like to see if she is doing well.
I will get that done immediately.
What should you do?
Madame Xiang summoned you to the palace.
How did this happen?
You've stayed away from her, and yet she's coming at you.
This is how life is.
The more we want to avoid it, the more we can't.
I fear Qin Xiang, so here she comes knocking on my door.
Although she's inviting you over to the palace for her birthday celebration
it can't be with good intentions.
Madame Xiang might be in favor
but she is still just a concubine and beneath the Empress.
She wouldn't be congratulated by all the court officials.
It will only be a small banquet held for female attendees.
But the smaller this banquet is, the more nervous I am.
Why don't you seek audience with the Empress to reject this invitation?
General Wei isn't in Jian-An now
so Empress Wan would never be at ease
to let Miss Xin Yue go to the palace alone.
If Her Highness could turn down this offer
then she would have done so.
His Majesty must have consented to this.
Her Highness couldn't say a word about it.
I'm already showing, so I'm afraid that I can't keep it a secret anymore.
It could be that Madame Xiang has already been informed about this
and summoned me to the palace to confirm the news.
Miss Xin Yue, I beg you to please take good care of yourself.
Should anything happen, please bear with it for the sake of the child.
You're at a very crucial stage in the pregnancy now.
Even if you feel wronged, settle it when General Wei comes home.
I am the mother of my child.
I am more nervous than you are.
You don't have to keep reminding me.
Am I such a willful and careless person to you?
This isn't what I mean.
She's a pregnant lady.
Although Xin Yue does act on an impulse occasionally
and she is a bit willful
she has a good sense of priority, right?
- Isn't she General Wei's woman? - Exactly.
Stop talking. She heard us!
She's not even married yet and she's already with child.
- Exactly. - It's so inappropriate.
This is so shameful.
You're right.
Let's leave.
Miss Xin Yue!
I didn't expect to see you here.
It's lovely to see you here.
I've often heard Hei Shi mention you and General Wei these days.
I've wanted to meet you very much.
I didn't know that you're pregnant.
Hei Shi would be so happy for you if he learns about this.
You call him Hei Shi?
Did you ask you to address him so?
Then shouldn't I address you as my sister-in-law now?
You can just call me Lady Li.
Sure, you can call me Yue Er or Xiao Yue.
Have a seat.
Hei Shi has always worn this ring on him since he was little.
His grandfather left it to him.
Hei Shi took it off and put it on me this morning.
I couldn't figure out the reason
but now...
Hei Shi purposely had Lady Li come to this banquet with this ring.
He's left this orphaned girl who is away from home in my care now.
He is worried about you.
I know why Hei Shi did this.
Lady Li betrayed Qin Xiang.
I believe that Qin Xiang won't let her off easily.
Hei Shi is worried about Lady Li coming to this banquet alone.
Empress Wan arrives!
Madame Xiang arrives!
Greetings to Empress Wan and Madame Xiang!
- You may all rise. - Thank you, Your Highness.
This must be Miss Xin Yue?
Congratulations.
All right now, we should all take a seat.
What dance performance would Your Majesty like to watch today
or which drinking game should we play today?
Today is your birthday.
I am just your guest.
You should be the one to decide.
I'll make the decision then.
If you all agree, we'll play drawing lots for our drinking game.
What do you say?
Whatever you wish.
Why don't I get my lady official to host the game?
Sure.
Madame, His Majesty has sent a birthday gift over.
Summon them to bring it here right away.
Enter!
It's so rare to find a such a huge piece of jade!
It's so exquisitely crafted into a very precious treasure!
Quickly place this jade tower as the center piece in the banquet
so that everyone gets to admire it.
- Yes! - His Majesty's kindness must be known.
Good, now let's start drawing lots.
Yes.
Madame Jiang drew out the peony lot.
Whoever draws out this lot gets to order anyone to do one command.
I heard that Madam Hei Shi gave a passionate dance
on Empress Wan's birthday.
I'd like her to dance for us again today.
Madame Jiang chose Lady Li instead of the many other dancers.
She is mocking us for vying for Wei Wu Ji that day.
She is also intentionally humiliating Lady Li.
Please bear with my performance then.
Pian Er! Don't cry, Pian Er!
Summon the Imperial Physician!
- Pian Er, how is your wound? - Don't cry.
Don't cry...
I am unfortunate.
Please tell Hei Shi
that it is my honor to have met him away from my homeland.
Please ask him not to miss me.
Xin Yue, you have to bear with this for the sake of your child.
All right, all right now.
Empress Wan! Madame Xiang!
- Get up now. - Yes.
Take a look at Pian Er quickly!
Lady Li, why are you so careless?
Your Majesty.
We'll handle this according to the rules of the palace.
A hundred strokes of flogging for injuring the prince
and as for the bestowed jade tower
I'll leave it to His Majesty to decide the punishment.
- Take Lady Li away. - Yes.
Wait a minute.
Lady Li might be at fault
but she isn't the true culprit.
When Lady Li was dancing
I saw this jade pearl roll under Lady Li's feet.
Lady Li tripped and fell because of it.
The Crown Prince and Princesses often played around with these jade pearls.
Do you mean to say that the Crown Prince threw this jade pearl on the floor
to deliberately break the bestowed jade tower and hurt his baby brother?
How atrocious!
- I deserve to die. - How dare you slander the Crown Prince?
Which one of you also saw this bead roll under Lady Li's feet?
Xin Yue, how did you get that bead?
Xin Yue!
Your Highness, what should we do?
- Take Xin Yue away as well. - Yes.
This place is better than I thought.
Miss Xin Yue, why would you get yourself into this trouble?
Since Hei Shi gave this to you
even if it has to be returned to him, you should do it yourself.
Xiao Yue...
No sunlight could come through to the prisons.
It is too humid and cold in here.
I'm sorry.
Your papa has just left for war a while ago
and I already got you into the prison.
Xiao Yue, I was the one who implicated you.
Someone deliberately set me up for this.
It's one trap looped in another trap.
But what is the ultimate motive in this trap?
If she intends to hurt the Crown Prince and Empress Wan with this matter
this seems to be too soft.
What exactly does she have in mind?
I've never truly treated Qin Xiang as my enemy.
But from this day onward, she and I no longer share any sentiments.
She entered the palace early in the morning.
Why hasn't she returned yet?
Did something happen?
Something happened, right?
I just sent someone to the palace for news.
There's still no news.
It's fine when she was by herself.
But now she's pregnant with child.
She can't run or jump.
So what if she's skilled in martial arts?
The general is still away.
If something should happen to Miss Xin Yue...
This won't do.
Ms. Hong.
- House Mistress's friend is here. - I see. Mr. Hei Shi.
Is there any news from the palace?
Lady Li accidentally broke the jade tower
bestowed by the Emperor while performing.
It hurt the little prince, and now she's punished by the Empress.
Pleading on Lady Li's behalf, Xin Yue publicly said Lady Li was framed.
Both of them are now imprisoned.
- Prison? - Imprisoned?
Didn't the Empress say anything?
Madame Xiang intentionally twisted Xin Yue's plead
hinting that the accident happened because
the Crown Prince was jealous of the little prince.
That's why he framed Lady Li and broke the jade tower.
It is a severe matter to frame the Crown Prince.
Even the Empress can't intercede on this matter lightly.
What a girl, that Qin Xiang.
I'll send someone to inform General Wei right away.
What good would that do?
Wei Wu Ji is thousands of miles away
it'll be too late when he hears about it.
We can't panic or rush into anything.
Since they are locked up in prison, it means there is still a chance.
We must think of a solution.
And we must do it quickly.
You're right.
We can't panic or rush into anything.
The Empress will surely help in secret in the palace.
We have to think of something.
Since it's such a serious matter, we must find someone with prestige.
Uncle Chen, go see Princess Zhaoyang and General and Madam Wei.
Xin Yue is pregnant with Wei Wu Ji's child after all.
General Wan won't ignore this matter.
That's right. We must find someone who can intervene in this matter.
I'll seek His Majesty's audience right now.
The seriousness of defaming the Crown Prince depends on it.
No one would dare to say another word, if His Majesty doesn't believe it.
Ms. Hong and Hei Shi probably know about what happened to us by now.
They must be thinking of a way to come see us.
But they haven't showed up yet.
Seems like it's not looking good.
- Xiao Yue... - Stop apologizing.
My ears hurt from hearing it.
Time to eat.
The food here of course can't be compared to the general's manor.
But for the sake of your child, you must have some.
Don't worry, I'll eat it even if I don't have any appetite.
Thank you.
Xiao Yue.
I wonder who the child takes after.
Neither me nor Wu Ji is picky about food.
Yet we're having such a picky eater.
I guess I'll have to properly teach him in the future.
Bad news, Ninth Lord. Can you please rescue Xin Yue?
What happened to Xiao Yue?
Xin Yue has been set up by Madame Xiang.
She's been locked up in the imperial jail for two days now.
We've tried all means but there's nothing we could do to save her.
General Wei's mother won't help
and won't let us notify General Wei either.
Ninth Lord, I really don't know who else to ask but you.
Xin Yue is pregnant.
She won't be able to take it.
Why is Miss Xin Yue locked up in the imperial prison?
Quickly tell me what happened.
As detailed as you can.
Madame Xiang invited Xin Yue to attend her birthday banquet...
Your Majesty.
Mo Xun.
I've wanted to see you these past couple of years, but you've always avoided me.
Why did you come see me, your uncle, today?
You have overstated, Your Majesty.
I've been sick for a long time.
It's inconvenient for me to come to the palace.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Since you're here, stay for dinner.
I came to the palace today to ask for a safety talisman.
Safety talisman?
I heard Shi's Shipping has great influence in Jian-An
and even in the desert.
Why would you need to come beg me?
Who is giving Mo Xun of Shi's Shipping, my nephew, a hard time?
The House Mistress of Fair Maiden's House, Xin Yue.
- For Wei Wu Ji's woman. - That's correct.
Xin Yue and I are close friends.
I heard that's she's lock up in prison because of a foreign dancer.
Xin Yue is pregnant. I can't bear to see her suffer.
I'm here to beg Your Majesty to pardon Xin Yue.
I thought it was something important.
Xin Yue's matter is a matter of the Harem.
The Empress will decide how to handle it herself.
I shouldn't intervene.
Your Majesty is the Emperor.
If Your Majesty can pardon Xin Yue
the Empress wouldn't give her a hard time either.
I rule the world.
But I've handed the harem's matters for the Empress to decide.
If I pardoned Xin Yue because of your plead today
the Empress's authority will be greatly undermined in the future.
Mo Xun.
You say that I rule the world.
But why is it so hard for me to see you?
- I've been sick for a long time... - Don't use your illness as an excuse.
I know you have great ambitions.
But you should be flexible.
You should know when to compromise and concede.
You should have expected this
when you refused to see me when I summoned you.
I am at fault.
Forget it.
You are my nephew.
It's understandable that you're a little spoiled.
Please pardon Xin Yue, Your Majesty.
Xin Yue defamed the Crown Prince Zhao Di.
It's a serious crime.
How can I pardon her so easily?
I've fought with the Tartars these past couple of years.
I have neglected the matters in the desert.
Since you're familiar with the different tribes in the desert.
And you have influence.
Why don't you give me a hand?
Use your reputation to help me win the hearts of the different tribes.
What do you think?
If it will help avoid more killing, of course I will do my best.
Good.
Your words are more assuring than hundred thousand elite soldiers.
Your Majesty has overstated.
I'm just a businessman in the desert.
People in the desert call you a great philanderer.
You're not simply a businessman.
Visit the palace often in the future.
Tell me more about the desert.
As you wish, Your Majesty.
Xin Yue's crime is not unpardonable.
But I have to explain to the Harem.
I'm willing to investigate this matter personally
and give Your Majesty and the Harem a reasonable explanation.
All right.
Since it's a matter of the harem
and you are my nephew, I'll let you investigate it.
If Xin Yue is really innocent, then I'll pardon her immediately.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Xiao Yue.
Ninth Lord.
I haven't suffered.
Madam Wei won't allow anyone to General Wei of this matter.
Would you like me to tell him?
One cannot be distracted on the battlefield.
This is a decisive battle with the King of the Tartars.
It's his childhood dream.
If he can't give his all in this battle, he'll regret it for life.
Moreover, I'm just staying in jail for a couple of days.
It's no big deal.
How come you can come here?
The Emperor is my uncle.
A small favor like this is hardly worth mentioning.
You've put it so lightly.
What exactly did you do, Ninth Lord?
What did you promise the Emperor?
I forgot you're a royal relative too.
Quickly, tell me what exactly happened that day.
It's actually a very simple matter.
I guess Qin Xiang already guessed my relationship with Hei Shi.
She wants to use this opportunity to set up Lady Li.
And lure me into her trap.
While Lady Li was dancing, she ordered someone to secretly throw a jade pearl.
Lady Li fell because of the jade pearl.
And broke the Emperor's gift, the jade tower.
She probably planned it all ahead of time.
But the broken jade fragments hurt the little prince.
That seemed like an accident.
Either crime...
Lady Li can't avoid the death penalty.
I can't watch Lady Li die a wrongful death.
So what you said turned into defamation of Crown Prince Zhao Di.
Who would dare to say they saw the pearl after that palace maid said such things?
My words turned into lies.
Xiao Yue, is there anything else you're not telling me?
Everyone knows General Wei's relationship with the Empress is very tense right now.
If Madame Xiang is at odds with the Empress
because of the position of the crown prince
she shouldn't offend General Wei.
She should try to get on his good side.
Why is she continuing to go against you?
Although this matter is related to Crown Prince Zhao Di.
She is deliberately coming at you.
I really can't hide anything from you.
Qin Xiang and I indeed have some personal issues.
But I cannot tell you.
Actually, it's quite unexpected that she bears such hatred towards me.
The key is to find the person who dropped the pearl.
Although Madame Jiang started this
she's not smart enough.
She probably doesn't know anything.
I think it's worthwhile to ask the palace maids.
My thoughts exactly.
However, if Qin Xiang would get her to do such a thing
she must trust her very much.
It'll be difficult to get anything out of her under Qin Xiang's wings.
Why ask her?
Just let Madame Xiang take care of her.
It's time. Ninth Lord, please leave.
I'm leaving.
Hang in there for another two to three days.
Ma'am, please take good care of Xiao Yue.
Ninth Lord.
Xiao Yue is pregnant with Wei Wu Ji's child, no one dares to use torture.
They are both safe.
The Emperor has ordered Ninth Lord to investigate this case.
Have you thought of a plan?
I think Madame Xiang must be behind this.
Madame Xiang ordered Lady Li to seduce Wei Wu Ji.
Lady Li betrayed her by choosing me.
Madame Xiang must want to get back at her by taking her life.
However...
Xiao Yue got dragged into it.
It's Xiao Yue's life that Madame Xiang is after.
We must be careful of Madame Xiang.
We must investigate this matter quickly, and rescue Xiao Yue.
I'm going to see Madame Xiang.
Since everything started because of her
I must start the investigation with her.
You know the Ninth Lord?
I've seen him before.
People of Nan Dynasty call him Ninth Lord.
We call him the philanderer.
He opened herb shops all over the desert.
Whenever there's an epidemic
or battle between the Tartars and the Nan Dynasty
he always provide his medicinal herbs for free to those without homes.
Before I became a dancer
I saw him healing a beggar.
That child was oozing with pus
but he held him in his arms afraid of hurting him.
As if he's holding a treasure.
I saw him again in the royal tent.
The Prince has arrived.
Philanderer!
The Prince wanted to hug him, but he refused with a smile.
Many people dream of such honor.
But he didn't weaver.
I felt the coldness in his heart.
Although he is disabled
he's the most noble person I know.
He's always smiling when I see him.
But I always get the feeling that he's carrying a heavy burden.
He hides his fatigue under his smile.
It's wonderful to see this side of the philanderer.
He would get angry.
He would smile because he's at ease.
He's no longer that lonely godlike figure.
But I can feel the sadness in his heart.
The philanderer.
He always treat others well.
But who would treat him well?
Greetings, Your Highness.
No need to be so polite, Ninth Lord.
I've already heard of Ninth Lord's name before I entered the palace.
I quite admire you.
I only found out after I entered the palace
that you're the Emperor's nephew.
I wanted to meet you all the more.
Seeing you now, you are indeed just how people describe you.
Thank you for the compliments, Your Highness.
I heard that His Majesty has assigned you to investigate the little prince's case.
I wonder if you're here because of this.
I am.
I came here today to ask Your Highness about something.
Please go ahead and ask.
Actually, you can say that Xin Yue and I are good friends.
I would have pleaded on her behalf already
if this matter wasn't so serious.
Since Ninth Lord is here personally on Xin Yue's behalf
of course, I will do my best to cooperate.
I hope Xin Yue can escape this danger.
Looks like there's nothing I can ask today.
I've already investigated the whole matter very clearly.
I won't beat around the bush.
I wonder if Your Highness have heard of a saying.
'Men do not intend to harm a tiger, but a tiger intends to harm the men.'
Xiao Yue doesn't want to harm Your Highness.
If Your Highness insists
on setting Xiao Yue up
then your enemies wouldn't just be the Wans and General Wei anymore.
Shi's Shipping will also be against you.
You mean I intentionally want to harm Xin Yue?
I think I've already made myself very clear.
According to you...
you can convince His Majesty
that I'm the one who set up Xin Yue and Lady Li by yourself?
Your Highness is currently in His Majesty's favor.
And you just gave birth to a prince.
It seems that your position is firm.
While I, Mo Xun, doesn't hold a post in court
if I can convince His Majesty to let me investigate this case
then I can get Xin Yue out of this unscathed.
I won't let anyone get in the way.
In that case, I'll wait for your good news.
Since this matter was started by a palace maid
it won't be difficult to get to the person behind her.
I came here today because I want to extenuate the matter.
I believe it's all up to Your Highness.
