Boss

If it really cures you

not only tears

I'm willing to give you

even my blood

But I...

never trust this kind of conventional medicine

It is because when

human method and medicine is useless

people seek for comfort

by using the excuse of borrowing the Qi of royalty

Here

Your Majesty

Have you found the copper box?

Of course

It must be you, silly girl

I bet you saw that the copper box is beautiful

that's why you took it, didn’t you?

I have never seen so many treasures in my life

So I took some

Will you be angry at me, Brother Long?

No, I won't

Fortunately...

I've found the copper box

And it hasn't been found out by Grand Empress Dowager yet

Otherwise

I won't be able to help you to cover it

It's so beautiful

Something's wrong

Though it

looks the same as the copper box in Oboi's house

but I made a marking

This is not the one that I took from Oboi's house

Who would have

change it before me?

Would it be Brother Zhu?

How clever is he!

Boss, what are you thinking?

I'm thinking that if it's

the treasure map of Ming Dynasty in the box

then you're rich, Brother Long!

Oh, boss, you're truly a greedy person

Though the treasure map is important

but the list of the Anti-Qing traitors

is of greater importance to me

I still need to take this and see Oboi

Boss

Take a good rest here

Alright

Have mercy on me, my gods...

Please don't let Oboi find out that

the box has been exchanged

Or I'll be doomed

Have mercy on me, my gods...

Oboi is here...

to pay respect to Your Majesty

- You may rise - Thank you, Your Majesty

Take a look, Oboi

Is this the copper box...

that you took

from the national treasury?

Yes, it is, Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Why was this copper box falls into the hands of Li Yi Huan?

Is it really out of her greediness

that she took it?

In my house

there were many precious pieces of jewellery

Why must she choose this?

Your Majesty

Don't you think...

it's a bit suspicious?

Songgotu

Yes, Your Majesty

When you went to confiscate Oboi's house with Yi Huan

how did she get the box?

Is there anything out of the ordinary?

Your Majesty

We've searched through Oboi's house

but I couldn't find

the antidote of the pill

When I was feeling anxious

someone reported that

they found a secret room

Did you see?

It's full of hidden places

It must be full of treasures

It's been two hours now

Lady Yi Huan

are you sure you could do it?

- Well, stop pushing me! - It's about time now

- You're right - I'm afraid that...

- Yes - we might lose our hands

Can you stop being in despair?

I have a hunch that

I'll be opening this soon

Real soon

- Do you really mean it? - Are you sure?

It's been two hours already

Is it not open yet?

I made it!

Even the craftsman

couldn't open the door

but Yi Huan able to unlock it?

Your Majesty

Li Yi Huan

is a person of unknown background

and with suspicious intentions

Your Majesty, Lady Yi Huan said that

she once saw Oboi open the door

when she was in his house

Therefore, she remembers the method

That's why she could open the door

And Lady Yi Huan

has been taking nearly two hours

to open the door

She was once a thief

on the street

it's normal that she knows

some tricks

Indeed

And...

we went into the secret room

Lady Yi Huan

could you believe this?

The secret room of Oboi

has more treasures than the palace

You're right

Sir

How about this?

We can choose some of it

and put the rest into the record

What do you think?

How happy am I

to be in this case together with Lady Yi Huan!

You can choose over there, and I, here

How's that?

Action!

Lady Yi Huan

have you finished already?

- Yes, I am - You can choose more

No... I've taken enough

Sir Songgotu, you should choose more

Your Majesty

You sent me to carry out the duty to confiscate Oboi's house

but I took the advantage to steal the treasures

I've committed a terrible crime

I beg for your forgiveness, Your Majesty

All right, you may rise

Everyone knows that it's a duty with benefits

I sent you to carry this duty

because I wanted to reward you for your contributions

But you shall know how to control yourself

Don't be overdoing it

Yes, I understand

Thank you, Your Majesty

As you mentioned just now

Yi Huan only picked a few pieces of jewellery?

Yes

Lady Yi Huan put a jade Guan Yin

some jewelleries

and this box

into a big chest

And she took it with her

She might have taken the box

because it looks spectacular

Other than choosing something precious

girls also like to choose something peculiar

and interesting

Well, she has always been

acting freely

playful and greedy

Your Majesty

if you think so

then I have nothing more to say

Oboi

You said that both of them are the remnants of Ming Dynasty

and they get close to me

because of this copper box

Since they already gotten the box

why are they still here?

And why are they doing nothing

when I went to Yongle Residence

to take the box?

Your Majesty

Li Yi Huan was trying to go back to Yongle Residence

using the excuse of her headache

And she also wanted to ask Imperial Physician Li to come and treat her

Maybe...

she was just pretending to be sick

And wanted to buy some time

to change the box

Only it didn't go as she wanted it to be

and she missed the chance

No

She didn't pretend to be sick

When she went back to Yongle Residence

she fell unconscious

I can see that

it wasn't a pretence

But...

If you said so, Your Majesty

Then just consider that I'm oversensitive

What?

You didn't change the copper box?

There's no time for me to do so!

And I had absolutely no idea that

Oboi already knew about the copper box

and told Kang Xi about it

Then who could have changed the box?

Could it be Kang Xi?

That's impossible

He just heard about it from Oboi

and never saw the box before

How could he had the time

to make a fake?

The fake is too detailed

It looks nearly identical to the real one

I think most probably Oboi hasn't found out

that the box was changed

Or else, Kang Xi will surely come and question me

Yi Huan

How did you know that it was changed?

Well...

There was a dragon engraved on the box

And a pearl was on the dragon

I saw that the pearl was so cute...

so I started prying it

And...

it left a faint mark on it

How reckless!

If you activate the trap accidentally

the treasure map and the list in it

will be destroyed!

I'm sorry

Your Majesty

According to the spy

Chong Zhen Emperor

hired craftsmen with great skills

to make this copper box

Three golden keys must be

inserted together into the lock

to open the box

It won't work if any one

of the golden keys is missing

Otherwise, it will activate the trap

the treasure map

and the list of Anti-Qing Alliance

will be destroyed

If so, where are

the three golden keys?

One is with Prince Jin, Li Ding Guo

which was appointed at Southern Ming

Rumours are saying that Li Ding Guo

died on the battlefield more than ten years ago

And the location of the golden key is unknown

According to the spy

Li Ding Guo is still alive

And he has been

secretly leading the Anti-Qing Alliance

Another key is with Zheng Jing in Taiwan

The last key was

with Yong Li emperor

He was killed by Wu San Gui years ago

So the golden key

might be with Wu San Gui

So...

you issued an official imperial order

and asked Wu San Gui to return the items of Yong Li emperor

That was to get the golden key?

Yes, Your Majesty

Now, Wu San Gui

has sent his son

Wu Ying Qi to take the items back to the capital

If the golden key

is within the items they sent

it means that Wu San Gui

doesn't know about its significance

If there is no

golden key within the items

it means Wu San Gui

not only knows about its significance

but he hides it purposely

Thus his betrayal is obvious

Oboi

Since you told me such an important secret

it proves that you have truly repented

Alright, you may go now

I'll have Songgotu

send you back home

Thank you for sparing my life, Your Majesty

Songgotu

I need a favour from you

Premier, you're too polite

You're the officer to three generations of emperor

a reputable officer in the kingdom

A favour is a word too modest for you to say

Though I was

a political rival with your father, Sir Soni

but now...

you've gained the favour of the emperor

however, I'm a nobody now

I hope that you won't

hold grudges against me anymore

Premier, you're too humble

One can never know what will happen next

Maybe you

will regain your reputation one day

You may not know

Please don't say anything like this

to tease me

The favour that I ask of you today

is not to serve my own purpose

But...

it's for the kingdom of Qing Dynasty

For the kingdom of Qing Dynasty?

Such an important thing...

Why didn't you tell His Majesty just now

Sir Oboi?

Why do you talk to me

in private...

here?

His Majesty won't listen to me

Sir Songgotu

Please be careful

of the siblings, Imperial Physician Li and Li Yi Huan

Well, Premier

Just let it go

Stop thinking of getting revenge on them already

You...

Sir Songgotu

I'm not saying this for revenge

His Majesty is in love with Li Yi Huan

He won't listen to me

No matter what

both of them are of unknown background

and with suspicious intentions

When I return home

I'll make use of my intelligence network

and investigate on them

But I need some time

Before everything is clear

I hope you

can be more careful

with both of them

Premier...

are you out of your mind

after the imprisonment?

Do you not know that

both of the Li siblings

are now important people in His Majesty's eyes

How dare you ask me

to help you to spy on them?

Do you think I'm such a fool to go against the wish of His Majesty?

I know that

you wouldn't help me

You will only crush me

when you have the chance

But for the safety of Qing Dynasty

I'll put down my hatred

and beg to my political rival

Songgotu, think about it

If their background

are innocent enough

and they're not the remnants of Ming Dynasty

it will help you

if you take side with them

But if they truly are the remnants of Ming Dynasty

the consequences will be severe

Please help me in secret

to investigate on their background

It's not too late to place your bet

after everything is clear!

Alright

You should just go home and rest

Since Oboi already knows about the secret of the copper box

surely he knows about the secret of the golden keys

Even Kang Xi knows about it

It's a disadvantage to us

And the box was changed by someone else

It's a fortunate thing that it was changed

Imagine what will happen if it

falls into the hands of Brother Long?

The person who changed the box

won't be someone from Qing Dynasty

It's better for it to fall into their hands

than the hands of Qing Dynasty

But who could have changed the box

from Yongle Residence?

This person knows about

the secret of the copper box

and he or she could walk in the palace freely

Those who knew about the copper box

other than us...

it would be Oboi's people

Maybe...

It's Eunuch Li

It's possible

Eunuch Li seems to have taken side with Grand Empress Dowager

but he has been bribed by Oboi

If Eunuch Li changed the copper box

it means that it's with Oboi right now

Oboi is the same as Kang Xi

They pretended to make peace with each other

He won't hand out the box to Kang Xi

But now

Oboi was just released and returned home

I bet Eunuch Li hasn't met with him yet

Kang Xi has tightened the guards in the palace

No matter who they are

everyone will be searched when entering or going out of the palace

I think Eunuch Li hasn't taken the box out of the palace yet

Godfather

had asked me to control Eunuch Li

with the antidote of the pill

I had doubted against it

Now...

I can only control Eunuch Li

and spy on Oboi

Then, we can find the box

and also the spy within us

The four of us

has successfully come to the palace

get close to Kang Xi and gained his trust

Everything was too smooth

and made us too optimistic

That's why we lost

the box from our hands

Looks like the palace contains

a lot of hidden dangers that we didn't know

From now on

we must be more careful

Especially Yi Huan

Fortunately, the three golden keys are still missing

Thus it would be useless

with just the box

Hopefully Qian Ying and Mo Sheng

get the first golden key

from the hands of Wu Ying Qi

I just heard from Wu Ying Qi

that the Military Head of Shanxi, Shu Jian

is heading here with 200 soldiers

We should be

able to meet them tomorrow at the earliest

If Shu Jian takes over the fleet

it's hard for us to find the chance to steal the key

So tonight you must trick Wu Ying Qi

to tell you where does he hide the key

I understand

Young master

please have some snack

Brother Ye

Qian Ying

Let's have some tea and snack

Coming

Qian Ying, why are you sighing?

The music that you played

may sound happy at first

but there is a

depressed feeling in it if you listen carefully

It brings out the same feeling in me

So...

that's why I sighed

This was a favourite song that I liked to play

But no one understands the real feelings behind it

Qian Ying

you are indeed my soul mate

Young master...

now that we're in the boundary of Shanxi

We'll meet with the military head, Shu Jian tomorrow

Your mission is completed

Is there something else that you're still concerned with?

You don't understand

I volunteered myself to carry out

the mission of transporting the items of Yong Li Emperor

I hope the mission

can go on for as long as it can

And the journey can continue as far as possible

Why?

To be honest...

I'm trying to run away from my marriage

using this mission as an excuse

Running away from your marriage?

Young master...

you're already engaged?

You're the son of Prince Ping Xi

You're a noble man

I think the girl must be

from a noble background too

She must be a decent girl, excel in every way

The fiancee that my father arranged for me

is the daughter of Chieftain Dao

the biggest influential family in Yunnan

Her name is Dao Tie Feng

Her personality

is just like her name

She's rude and fierce

If so...

why would your father agree to this engagement?

People born into this kind of noble family

our marriage is a tool

for political alliances

The imperial is not trusting my father

My brother, Wu Ying Xiong

is forced to stay in the capital

and married to Princess Jang Ning

From the look of it, he is a noble husband to the princess

but actually...

he is being held hostage by the imperial

And me, too

Marrying the daughter of Chieftain Dao

is to strengthen the power of my father

As the son of Prince Ping Xi

it's something unavoidable

In fact, I don't care about

the status quo and wealthiness

If I have the choice

I would rather be born in a normal family...

and live an ordinary life

To find my one true love

and grow old together with her

When you have

accomplished the mission...

it will be the time to marry

the daughter of Chieftain Dao

So I hope the journey

could be as long as possible

But tomorrow...

We'll meet with the military head, Shu Jian

By the way...

the items of Yong Li Emperor

are they all in the chest behind you?

You're right

Tomorrow we're going to meet with Shu Jian

Shi Qing Hong couldn't stop worrying

and insists on putting the chest here

Forgive my ignorance, young master

As a country girl

I have never seen a royal item before

May I know

if it is possible to show it to me?

Actually, there's nothing to see

After Yong Li Emperor was sent back by Burma's king

he was ripped off of everything

There's no more feeling of royalty

in his items

But I can show you

if you want to see

We only know each other less than a month

Do you trust me?

I believe in fate

Some people can be friends when they first met

And some might have spent days together

but they have nothing to say

They're all ordinary items, like what we're using

Are these clothes all he left?

Is there anything precious?

Surely an exiled emperor

also possessed a few

accessories with him?

Though Yong Li Emperor was defeated

he had some loyal servants with him

So he had some pieces of jewellery

They're in this jewellery box

Can I have a look?

Of course

I'm sorry

I have never seen a royal item before

I was too nervous

It's alright. I can just pick it up

These are the items of a deceased king

It might be bad luck

As the son of Prince Ping Xi

it's better for you not to touch these

Let me do it

Alright, then

At first I thought it's hard to get anything

from Wu Ying Qi

Surprisingly

you got the first golden key

so easily

Looks like...

Wu Ying Qi

places full trust in you

He's just an innocent, wealthy young master

After he enters the capital

if the imperial finds out that the key is stolen

will he be in danger?

Qian Ying

We already got the golden key

Why are you worrying about him?

The imperial?

It's best if the imperial lock him up in prison

and kill him after that

Then, it will force Wu San Gui to betray them

It won't be long to restore Ming Dynasty

Young master, please forgive us for not welcoming you earlier

If not for the robbers that we encountered

I wouldn't dare to ask for you

Please forgive me

You're too humble
