What orders do you have?

That day, the poem that I heard in that place with you, don't spread it.

I finally thought it through.

The prisoner must had received bribe from someone,

to make Xi Fei Niang Niang a scapegoat.

Since he had already killed himself out of guilt, then don't make the incident any bigger.

Yes.

Lian Er, Lian Er.

It doesn't matter what you did.

Because of your heart for me,

I will definitely protect you well.

Let's live well together in the future.

Live well.

The forbidden palace is well protected. How did those people get in? How did you guys take care of this?

I should die. I already placed a lot of lookouts in front of Peacock Entrance.

But I don't know how it got found out.

I beg that the emperor gives me another chance so that I can mend this error.

That's not important.

What is important is why would someone want to kill me?

Li Wei, you said you didn't plan it well.

I will give you another chance.

I want you to investigate.

If you can't find anything, shave your head and see me.

I will do as you ordered,

I shall take my leave now.

Wait a moment!

Don't spread this, and you can let others deal with this.

You guys can investigate in the Inner Manor.

Yes. Yes.

Niang niang, be careful.

Lian Er Emperor

You suffered a big shock, you should be resting. Why would you come out?

I've laid down too long. I want to go out and walk around. Come

Come.

It is hard for you to come here. Some things I have to say.

Actually the prince and I... It's alright, don't say it.

Lian er, you risked your own life so that the royal guards could follow.

And you even lured the assasinators away, your heart I understand.

Before, I just thought around too much.

You won't blame me right?

I won't.

Lian Er, you have me in your heart.

I have you in my heart.

That's enough. What do you say?

Isn't that what the criminals of Ning Gu Ta have?

That's strange.

Normally, having to do with Ning Gu Ta, is that they committed a serious crime.

How is it possible that there are people who managed to escape to the city?

Even if they did, those responsible should have immediately reported it to the royal court.

But recently, there was no such scroll.

Immediately plan for me to go to Ning Gu Ta.

Official Li, step outside for a talk.

Official Li, you can't investigate this any longer.

Why?

Did you forget? The person who is watching over Ning Gu Ta

is the one who just helped in military service, General Zha Lan Tai.

He's the empress's brother. He has quite a lot of power behind him.

We have already falsely accused Xi Fei niang niang and Guo Qing Wang. If we then cause the empress to suffer...

I'm scared that we won't be able to see much of a future.

However, the Emperor directed me to investigate this

If I don't do this well, I'm worried

that I cannot protect my position.

and my future.

That's right. So what do we do?

This Wang Ye is still here.

Can't help it. Tell me how to get rid of him. Whatever goes wrong I will be responsible for it.

Official Li. Do you want Wang Ye to leave?

Official Cui, by saying that, you reminded me...how about we...

Greetings Wang Ye Greetings Wang Ye

Official Cui, why are you here?

I came to see Official Li to discuss something and to see you.

Is Wang Ye better?

I'm still angry but without power.

I don't have much energy.

It's because you haven't been up to exercise a bit,

do you remember how patients were called up to exercise through punching?

How about we exercise a bit also?

Prince, come on. Let's see if it'll help your sickness in any way.

Want to hit me? It's not that easy.

Prince, please.

Wang Ye, are you okay?

Official Li, look. I tried to fight with Official Cui,

I lost more of my energy.

Official Li is less stronger,

how about he works with you?

No, no, no, no,

this is something that can't do.

Official Li is a literature official, he doesn't know much of martial arts.

It's okay prince, you don't need to have to be so polite.

I'll just exercise with the prince.

Official Li, are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine. Wang Ye, are you okay?

No...just by using force, I'm a bit dizzy.

I'll go and rest.

Official Li, are you okay?

I can still live.

You're truly wise.

I'm already hurt like this.

I want to see just whether or not the emperor will let me go and investigate.

Old Seventeen, what are you doing?

Why did you beat Li Wei like this?

It's he who wanted to fight with me.

I heard you're staying in his house and refusing to leave.

They obviously will feel angry. The imperial doctor told me that

You're absolutely fine.

I know I'm wrong, emperor please punish.

Li Wei is helping me figure out an assassination case.

Right now he's injured. You should go instead.

Yes. This thing is not child's play.

Don't play around. Understand?

I understand.

Brother, isn't there a candy sculpture stand here?

Oh him, he burned his hand. He can't work for these days.

Why is this?

Is it because the Heavens don't want us to be together?

Sir, why are you standing in the rain?

I'm okay.

Come with me, you'll get sick standing in the rain.

Miss Bai He likes the Candy sculptures the most.

Every time she is angry, I just

have to bring her a candy sculpture to make her happy.

She will be happy.

But now even the person who sells it is injured,

I really have no way.

The Bai He you're talking about is the prostitute who refused to get in the sedan last time?

Then you come with me.

Where are you taking me? To make Candy Sculptures.

Make the candy sculptures? You know how to make candy sculptures?

You'll know if you follow me. Let's go.

My hands are not well...cannot make any candy.

Then let me try.

You? do you know how?

Let me give it a try. If I can't then I'll pay.

Alright, seeing that you are determined.

Good, Not bad, not bad.

Looks like you know how.

Of course, when I was young, I loved to watch you make candy sculptures.

Is that right?

First use the spoon and move it to swirl the melted sugar.

Then I'll use the white platform to make whatever sculpture you want.

She's called...

Bai He

Then we'll make a bai he flower (white).

Looks really pretty. Thank you.

Fine, The sky is clearing up.

and this candy sculpture is done. Go quickly.

Your stuff!

Xiao Ti Zi! Where are you running off to?

Xiao Ti Zi! Running so fast!

Bai He, Bai He

Bai He Wang Yeh Yeh Hua Ma Ma

Where is Miss Bai He? Prince?

Oh, now you are no longer prince...

Can I ask what you want?

I'm looking for Bai He. Tell me where Bai He is.

She doesn't want to see you.

Can't be, Look! I brought her favorite candy.

She will definitely come see me.

Bai He! Wang Yeh

Bai He, Bai He. You're here.

Bai He, look, I brought your favorite candy.

Aren't you happy?

Do you have face or not?

I already told you,

I won't marry you.

Why did you come looking for me?

Did you forget all of our

times together were so happy?

Did you forget you said that if one day you are angry

no matter when, as long as I bring you candy,

you'll forgive me.

I didn't forget...but that was just a way to comfort you.

Right now, you no longer have the status of prince...

Just like this candy, once it's fallen, it's shattered.

Nothing can put it back together.

Why should I still comfort you?

Can it be that besides the status of being a prince,

in your heart, I'm nothing?

Yes. One, you don't have money. Two, no status.

You're trying hard to push the fact that you're royalty...it's because you have nothing to do.

What else about you attracts me?

I'm telling you now

don't come to look for me any more, if you come, I won't see you.

Hua Ma Ma, Let's leave.

Prince.

Are you okay?

Do you like me?

What are you thinking?

If you don't like me, why are you so concerned about me?

I..I'm Xi Fei Niang Niang's younger sister.

So we're family.

So, it's like that. I know

there is no one who will really like me.

No one, no one.

Prince. Prince! Prince!

Ever since I was little, my father always loved me.

Because I was the youngest among my brothers.

My brothers also all loved me

because I posed no threat to them.

I've always been very happy.

I could always do what makes me happy.

But I never would have thought

that today I would discover that being a man is really useless.

I am really useless, Really useless.

Don't think that way.

I think it's she that is not worthy of you.

No. She is worthy of me.

In my eyes, she is the most kind and cutest girl.

I still remember the first time I saw her.

Come.

What is this? It looks really good.

This is a candied sculpture, you can just pick it up and eat it.

I would like one. Give me one.

Alright!

I'll take this one.

Hey, I bought this one first.

If you want, buy another one.

Sorry, this is the last one for today. Why don't you come again tomorrow?

Here. Thank you.

I already paid so this is mine.

You woman...why are you so unreasonable?

It's clear that I bought it first.

I ate it already, so what are you going to do?

I said it's mine so it's mine.

It's my first time kissing a girl.

I felt like my soul left my body.

We stared at one another and my heart beat so quickly.

I thought that I must have fell.

Lowly!

For a long time,

I waited for her there.

But she never appeared.

Until one day...

My handkerchief. You, sir.

Can you please get it for me?

I would never have thought, she is one of the ladies of Chun Feng Lou.

She told me that her parents had a lot of debt and sold her there.

I originally wanted to help her buy herself back.

But she was too expensive.

I didn't have enough.

She said that she didn't want to become my burden

and that she could wait for me. So we had a happy moment.

I always thought that, in my life, I won't have to worry for name or strength.

And that I'll live for this love.

I would never have thought I would come to this point in my life

Was it because she changed or was I too stupid?

That...I never saw through her.

It doesn't matter if she changed or if you didn't know her well enough.

It isn't important.

What's important is that things are the way they are now.

You have to be strong now.

Change yourself.

Didn't you say?

Candy sculptures can melt, can fall limp, and can disappear from this world.

But that doesn't mean

that you can't make another candy sculpture.

But everything I went through with her, how do you want me to forget?

Of course you can, isn't it just a kiss?

Actually, everyone's kiss is the same.

What's not the same is the feeling you have.

I think you are good person.

Don't give up on your own life over a worthless old love.

We've bumped into each other a lot but still haven't properly introduced ourselves.

I'm called Rong er.

I'm called Yun Xi.

You can call me Old Nineteen.

Your belonging.

This lotus bag, I'll give it to you as a gift.

Thank you for making me feel better.

It's fine, I hope that next time we meet you'll be more happy and optimistic.

I still have things to do, I'll leave first. Hope to see you in the future.

Prince!

I need to go Ning Gu Tan to investigate. I'll be back in a few days, don't worry.

Once you finish taking care of the business on your hands,

our family of three should go move there to live.

Why?

I used to respect your decisions

I also admired Xi Fei niang niang's true-hearted friendship with you.

but now, I've changed my mind.

Prince, think about it, ever since you two had these rumors,

if you're not sick, you're questioned,

and if you're not questioned, you're sent to investigate...

Each of these things,

pressures me so that I can't even catch my breath.

I'm tired, I'm really tired.

I know that during this time, you suffered.

Wait for me to come back,

I'll be sure to repay you for all that.

I don't want your repayment.

I want you to be safe.

However, you won't be safe here.

Prince, do you know?

You are no longer just one person.

You also have me and our daughter

Can you really not care about anything just for her?

What does this have to do with her?

She is the Emperor's woman.

You can never be together with her.

Everytime you talk with her

or meet with her, it will always give you two pain.

I just want to get through each day peacefully and safely.

Watch our daughter grow up.

Can I do that?

Prince.

I promise you.

Horsey, horsey,

After this obstacle, I'll take you out to eat.

Hey, who are you! I'm talking to you!

Who are you? Look this way.

Nineteenth Prince?

Why did you come?

Seventeenth brother, I thought it through. I'll never stay in the manor and just hoard off.

I want to fight for my own business.

I heard you're going to Ning Gu Ta to investigate, take me along with you!

For you to think this way, of course it's good.

But this road is way too far and very dangerous,

if there are any problems I would have to care for you.

Next time. Seventeenth Brother.

Yuan Shau, Let's go.

Seventeenth brother! Seventeenth brother!

Give grandfather a smile.

Father, you've carried her a whole day already.

I'll take her to go sleep.

Here, let me. There.

Sit.

Did you really decide to leave the palace?

I want to live through each day safely and peacefully.

Also since so many problems happened to the prince, I'm more anxious than anyone.

If I go on like this, I don't know what will happen.

Also since it's like this, it's probably better to move the earlier the better.

This way is good too. When are you leaving?

I don't know, when the prince comes back.

But he's going to Ning Gu Ta...should take around half a month.

Also, to take care of business...

Ning Gu Ta?

What case is he doing there?

I heard it was because the emperor encountered assasinators and

the body of those assasinators had the mark from Ning Gu Ta.

At first, Li Wei was to investigate.

But unfortunately, the prince injured Li Wei and so the emperor

ordered the prince to go.

This is very bad.

Father, what is it?

I said...such a good thing, why would Li Wei give it to the prince?

Father, please don't scare me.

Do you know who watches over Ning Gu Ta?

It's the empress's little brother!

Their family has a lot of relations in the royal court, you can't do anything to wrong them!

Yet now, assasinators are from Ning Gu Ta,

he would definitely get punished for not watching over carefully.

And since the prince is going to reveal it all,

then we're making enemies with the empress's clan.

Then what should we do?

You should've told me earlier

What can we do? He already left! What can we do?

The taste of this tea is not bad

Guo Qing Wang fu jin truly used her heart, came here to send this to me.

My father started a tea garden, all the tea is planted by ourselves.

Yesterday we just picked it.

Since niang niang likes it, then we're happy to hear.

Guo Qing Wang fu jin is a smart person,

at the selection...I noticed.

But today, you came here for a reason, right?

This...

All of you can go away.

Yes, niang niang.

What are you doing? If anything, stand up and talk.

I want to beg for niang niang's forgiveness.

What?

Emperor, Greetings

Why did you come?

Emperor, you haven't come to Xian Fu Palace for a long time.

I was thinking of the emperor.

I'm recently busy with all this work and also Xi Fei niang niang has fallen ill.

I'll be going over to her place from now on after working.

Why don't I visit you after she feels better?

Emperor

You're pregnant, don't run around.

If you mess with the child's air, I won't forgive you.

Yes.

Go on.

What kind of scent are you wearing?

Remember, that during your pregnancy,

don't wear She Xiang.

Why?

She Xiang can cause earlier childbirths.

I'll remember it, thank you for caring.

I'll send you out.

She Xiang can prevent bloating, headaches, and poison injuries.

It can also cause early childbirth.

Niang niang, get up quickly. Why?

Look!

There's a big bee hive.

Yu Gui Ren!

This is such a hot day, I can't even stay inside.

You're so nice, to have the time to read.

Stop reading, let's go watch a play.

I'm tired of watching plays.

Come, have a seat and cool off a bit.

Is it cool here?

Didn't you like to watch people play shuttlecock?

Hurry and show off to niang niang.

I'm going to go to my room and bring out some iced grapes for you to taste.

Okay.

It's so hot.

My face! My face! Niang niang!

It hurts. If it hurts, then you can use medicine to get rid of poison and itchiness.

Dr. Li, it really hurts!

It will be better in a few days.

I know it hurts. Bear with it a bit.

Dr. Li

How is Consort Qian?

Niang Niang, don't worry. She just got stung by bees, in a few days she will be better.

Just to bear with the pain won't do, you got to prescribe some medicine.

I already prescribed it, I'll have someone send it over.

Let me see the prescription. Yes.

She Xiang.

Imperial Doctor Li, Consort Qian got injured here.

I feel a bit guilty.

How can I not care for Consort Qian?

How about this? From now on, her medicine will be taken care of by my people.

If anything is wrong, I'll take the responsibility.

Yes.

Rong er, do you think this embroidery

will be liked by your sister? Mother.

I've told you many times.

as long as you made it, sister will like it.

It doesn't work like that.

She's pregnant for 10 months, and we send over this.

It's our Manchu tradition.

Whether or not your sister likes is important

but whether other people think its good is also important.

If there is a small error,

your sister would lose face.

But every bag in the palace looks the same.

You can't really make it unique.

How can you find problems?

You don't understand this again.

The color and looks look the same but the embroidery is different.

The palace is so specific, I'm scared...

Mistress, don't worry.

Just as long as you made it yourself, people won't even have enough time to be jealous.

I heard that the one in Xian Fu Palace still didn't get her bag from her family.

Is that really true?

It's true.

Then that's really good.

Aiya!

Do you want to live? Do you want to live?

Getting this dog inside the palace...what if it scares the mistress?

Hold it.

Su Gong Gong, this comes from the West.

I don't know how it came out of it's room.

We'll bring him back now. Please forgive us.

This dog...is really ugly.

Hurry and help Mistress carry her things.

Hurry!

You suffered a shock.

It's fine, it's fine.

Stay in your room!

Go!

Mistress, it is getting late. Why don't you hurry in?

Okay.

Greetings!

Where is the thing I want?

You may leave.

Child, don't worry. Your mother, I, will take care of everything before you're born.

I'll take care of all threats.

Why have you come?

I can see you are unhappy, I was a little worried.

You know that assasination attempt...

we still didn't find out anything.

I'm thinking,

what I didn't do right.

There are actually people who want to kill me.

The world has a lot of things that are unclear.

Some are satisfied, naturally, there would be people who are unsatisfied.

Also, there might be misunderstandings.

Why bother worrying about those people?

What kind of scent are you wearing?

This is the fragrance bag that my mother sent me.

I like this scent.

His eyes are looking to the left, lips are pulled downward...

this clearly means he's troubled.

What is Emperor thinking?

Does he not like this scent?

But he's not the type to go around the corner.

If he doesn't like it, he'll say that he doesn't like it.

Am I over thinking things?

Reading the heart is just observing the person's emotions...

it can't be accurate every time.

I believe the emperor is true-hearted toward me.

Then I will wear this everyday from now on okay?

Of course it's good.

Come, come eat with me.

Ning Gu Ta.

Prince, please look.

This place has order.

There are no problems.

Then why did the assasinators have the mark from here?

This...I'm not too clear.

Maybe, there are other places with similar marks and the people were similar.

It might just be by coincidence that they got those marks.

Is that so?

Come here!

If the prince doesn't believe me, you can check the records and count for yourself.

Yes.

General Zha, who is that person?

He appears to be quite strange.

He's a servant of mine.

Many years ago, he went a little crazy. Every day, he just moves that wood.

I wanted to take him back to get medical help but he didn't want to.

So I decided to raise him here.

Not only is he strange, but his actions are too.

Prince look, doesn't it look like a monkey?

He understands what we're saying. It doesn't seem like he's crazy.

What happened?

Yuan Shou!

What happened??

Nothing

Strange

What's wrong?

I keep thinking it's strange.

What's strange?

All the people that are on the records are all present. Not one is missing.

Looks like the problem isn't here.

I disagree.

What did you find that's different?

Do you remember that day, a prisoner fainted and I helped him up?

I remember. When I held him, I found that his whole body was stiff.

Prince, please think, he's a living person. He should have blood circulating and he should be soft and relaxed.

But when I helped him, he's as cold as stone.

He didn't seem like a living person at all.

I also think it's strange.

The person who went crazy...

when you said that he looked like a monkey,

he had a reaction.

But that craziness, is that they would never pay attention to what people say of them.

It's a dead person. How is it possible?

When we were here during the daytime, they were still living.

How can they have died after an evening?

Brother! Brother! DON'T KILL ME! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!

Don't worry, we mean no harm.

What happened exactly?

I don't know, I don't know

Don't worry, our prince stays true to his word.

If you suffered any injustice, just tell him. He will definitely help you with your problems.

Really?

The person in charge here is not a person!

He doesn't even see us as humans.

Everyday, besides abusing us, he used people to practice swordfighting.

Whenever those people died, they would say that they were killed because they ran away.

Whenever there wasn't enough people in attendance, they used dead people.

Dead people can be in attendance?!

Did you see the person who was standing there and holding that wooden stick?

He's a hypnotist! He knows how to control bodies!

How does he control it?

He puts an invisible string on to their bodies to control them.

It's like controlling wooden puppets.

Official, we got found out. What do we do?

Why do you worry?

If by tomorrow morning, they find that all the people are living,

they would think that they just had a nightmare tonight.

Please Prince!

Alive, hurry and capture people.

Yes.

Eat slowly, eat slowly!

Wow, it's so good!

Eat slowly, eat slowly,

there are dishes and buns.

Thank you! I'll give you some water.

This place doesn't have a village in front or a store in back.

I have money and I don't even know where to spend it.

If I haven't met you, I would starve.

In this area,

this is only this one town here.

Added all together, there are only around one hundred people.

What noise is that?

It can't be those soldiers right?

It's always like this. Do they want people to live or not?

Yeah!

What's up?

Those people who watch over Ning Gu Ta

are all like devils.

Every time, when they don't eat and drink enough...they come to our village to steal.

We are all angry but we're scared to say it.

Is there any rights in this world?

This way.

Capture them three!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Listen to me well,

you do what I tell you to do!

Go!

Prince!

Did you sleep well last night?

There isn't much to invite you to here.

I hope that you don't mind.

I slept well,

but I had a nightmare.

I dreamed that all the prisoners turned into walking dead people.

Prince, you sure know how to crack jokes.
