[Warm on a Cold Night]

[Episode 6]

Are you playing with a dog or something?

I'm looking for you.

Do you want me to shout out loud,

"Han Zheng!

Where are you?"

Like this?

Can you do it again?

How did you

fly out so quickly from

that young master's

room?

You want to know?

I heard that

Qi men are fast.

But I didn't expect them

to be this fast.

This stupid woman.

She forgot how she got so dizzy after being spun by me.

Brother Han.

Can you

take me flying around outside

just like you did

just now?

You were just having such a great time

talking with Mr. Wen Jun just now.

Now you think of me?

You...

Let alone eavesdropping on others' conversation,

why are you being all sarcastic?

Stupid woman.

Why are you scolding me?

Do you know

why that man asked you out?

Why?

To kill you.

He's using that as an excuse,

but he actually lured you into the trap

to kill you.

That's not right.

If he wants to kill me,

he firstly must be

the nursery rhyme murderer.

But I think

he doesn't look like the murderer.

Or

could he have other reasons?

Do you know what I found

in his secret room?

What?

There's a map

of Jiuxiao city.

There is also another book

[Nursery Rhyme Case]

that seems to be a rare book of

Qi nursery rhymes.

He also have the four missing lords'

wooden dolls.

[Li Zhinian]

In that case,

it is quite strange.

So,

if you want to live on,

stay here tomorrow.

Don't go to that meeting.

No, wait.

Compared to me,

you probably want to know the truth more.

He must have

his motives to ask me out.

It's not bad

to find out the truth.

Are you...

Are you worried that

he covets my beauty

and took the chance to ask me out.

That's why you don't want me to go?

Why didn't I

realize this before?

You are so confident.

But forget it.

You can go alone if you want.

I don't want to go.

You're a Qian,

you have nothing to do with me.

Don't worry.

It's my duty

to find out the clues.

I'll be careful.

Brother Han,

we're done with the business talk right?

Can you take me out to

"whoosh"

fly now?

When...

did I promise you?

Brother Han.

I...

I might die tomorrow.

This is my last wish

before I die.

I've been weak since I was young.

When I walk fast,

- I can’t even walk. - Stop.

I don't believe you.

I think

you can fly

when you're alone.

But you wouldn't be able to

do so if you have to carry me.

Brother Han,

seems like you're not

that strong

and cool as I thought you to be.

I haven't even realized

and we are already on the bridge?

Do you understand now?

Qi men are

stronger than you.

So listen to me tomorrow.

Don't get yourself killed.

Now I understand just a little bit.

Not fully yet.

You know what I mean, right?

Where else do you want to go?

Over there.

Let's go

♫ I want to travel mountains and lakes with you ♫

♫ The shadows the moon casts on the waters is lovely ♫

♫ Through winds and rains, I bring you to a place where the sky is clear ♫

♫ Your smile comes into my dream with the wind ♫

♫ I'm glad to have you when I wake up from my dream ♫

♫ I realized love has its own reason after meeting ♫

So beautiful!

♫ The two hearts understand when the night is warm ♫

♫ I'll hold you in my arms outside Jiuxiao City ♫

♫ Turn the past into dust ♫

♫ Our future is more worth looking forward to ♫

Love is like water,

it's rare and needs water.

How can love last forever?

Don't be sentimental.

Love wounds.

It's so mushy.

If it weren't for the case,

who would read these?

If you're going tomorrow,

be careful.

Are you so worried about me?

Why don't you go with me?

Dream on.

Actually that Qi

is not that fierce.

Sometimes, he is kind.

[Deyue Restaurant]

Please come in, sirs.

The dishes have all been served, Mr. Wen Jun.

If you need anything,

just let me know.

Thank you.

Sorry, Mr. Wen Jun.

I was careless.

He can't accept when chopsticks have different lengths.

How could he accept dismemberment?

Ms. Jiu'er,

Let's talk while eating.

Here.

Try it.

Thank you, Mr. Wen Jun.

By the way, Mr. Wen Jun,

I read "Through the Night" again

last night.

I have some new understandings.

Tell me about it.

When I first saw it,

I felt most sorry for Cui Sheng.

He and his wife

had to go through so much

to get married.

But later on,

his wife

fell in love with Zhamuke–

Headless?

And eloped.

I was so furious.

So when the ending wrote that Cui Sheng

killed Zhamuke,

it was really satisfying.

However,

when I reread it last night,

I suddenly felt

Zhamuke is actually quite pitiful too.

After all, Cui Sheng's love

is pretty suffocating.

On the contrary,

Zhamuke's love is selfless.

Yes.

Some people,

after reading about Zhamuke,

think he is a bad guy.

I understand.

Zhamuke fell in love with the wrong person accidently,

but ended up in a tragic end.

He's quite pitiful too.

My sentiments exactly,

Ms. Jiu'er!

What exactly

is the deal with this Wen Jun?

Why is he so nice to this woman?

I sympathize with

Zhamuke a lot too.

Then why did Mr. Wen Jun

created such a

a vivid villain,

yet made him die so miserably.

There's actually a story.

This Zhamuke is...

Is?

You scared me.

Eat.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Here.

What are they doing?

There really is an accomplice.

Sir, you haven't paid yet.

Mr. Wen Jun.

When you mentioned Zhamuke just now,

what were you going to say?

Ms. Jiu'er,

why don’t you go to the theater

to watch my new opera?

Didn't we agree to

discuss the script here?

The script I wrote

is written in a traditional way.

We, as creators,

are too involved in it

and can't find what should be edited.

I need a bystander like you

to give me some comments.

Ms. Jiu'er, let's go.

But...

Mr. Wen Jun.

But...

You're Wen Jun's

accomplice, right?

Hold this for me.

What's going on?

Open the door!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Do you know why that guy

asked you out?

With the script as an excuse,

he lures you into a trap

and kill you to silence you.

Oh no.

I'm going to die.

Let me out!

It's you.

You Qi men's skills

are just so-so.

I only used 30% of my strength just now.

You seem calm and relaxed,

but you can't handle it anymore.

I am someone

who is in his fifties.

Even if you beat me,

it's not anything

to brag about.

Qian men are so delicate

yet so arrogant.

I'm in my sixties too.

But I'm not like you.

You Qi have a slow life.

When you are 60,

you are in the prime of

what Qi men would be.

Things that could've been done in 20 years,

you all have to take 60 years.

What does that prove?

You are

a slow race.

You will easily be

overtaken by us Qian.

You are quite stubborn.

Wait till I have your life

in my hands,

tell me then

what are you up to

with Wen Jun?

Don't bother.

I'll tell you everything.

Who are you?

What is this place?

What is this?

No!

No!

Are you human or ghost?

Don't come over!

Don't come over! I beg you!

I beg you.

Please.

Where is this?

Shuobei.

I'm already in Qi?

You shouldn't have come.

Your voice

sounds familiar.

Father.

Is that you?

Father.

I know it's you.

10 years has been too long.

I'm afraid I can't recognize you

when I see you again,

so I've remembered

your voice.

Father, come out!

I came all the way

from Qian to Shuibei

to find you.

Father,

why can't I touch you?

My Hui.

Father is dead.

You're dead?

What they said is true.

You were really killed

by those Qi men?

Why did Mother lie to me?

She said you went to Qi State

as an envoy

to maintain

the peace between the two races.

She said

when I grow up,

you will return to home

and stay with us forever.

But all of this is fake.

If I didn't come,

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid I'll be kept in the dark forever.

Go away!

You damn Qi men!

I hate you!

I'll kill you all!

I've been an official all my life.

I've been going back and forth the Qian and Qi race.

Although I was killed by the villains of the Qi race,

but I have also received

a lot of help from many Qi.

In this world,

besides from kind men, are those who are evil.

That's how the Qian are.

And so are the Qi men.

My Hui'er,

don't turn yourself into an evil person

because of others' evil deeds.

What do you think, Ms. Jiu'er?

Do you like it?

Mr. Wen Jun.

Did you write this play?

Yes.

Your writing is so good.

Ms. Jiu'er, if you like it...

Ms. Jiu'er,

if you like it,

my hard work these days

are not in vain.

How did you come up with this idea?

I...

A friend once told me

that this is her story.

I always dream of her.

She was like this in her dream.

So after a while,

I got this idea.

Your friend

is very pitiful.

But she is also very lucky.

She waited for 10 years with expectations.

In the end, she was separated from her father forever.

But at least

she managed

to meet her father for one last time.

Ms. Jiu'er,

I am very happy

that you like the characters I wrote.

Ms. Jiu'er,

I've taken up so much your time today.

I'll make it up to you next time.

Deyue Restaurant again?

I will take you

anywhere in Jiuxiao City

that you like.

I have another presumptuous request.

Can I continue to

invite you to help me

with my script?

Of course.

I love watching the shows

Mr. Wen Jun wrote.

Really?

Can I

visit you at the Guard Command next time?

How did he know

I'm from the Guard Command?

Let's go.

You...

You hurt her.

You really care about her.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Your Highness–

You...

You are a prince?

He is...

You know that too?

You all know?

I am the only one who doesn't know.

Our prince

is simple-minded.

That's why he believed

your flimsy lies.

This is His Highness's token.

Yesterday,

after you left,

I sent someone

to investigate you.

Turns out you're from the Guard Command.

How could you be investigating

our prince?

But...

why do you have so many things

related to the case?

I'm curious about this case.

I wanted to write a script based on it.

So I secretly

started investigating it.

I see.

Although it makes sense,

but he's not that trustworthy.

Right, partner?

It's indeed a misunderstanding.

Since you two

are also here to investigate this case,

His Highness

would like to invite you to his residence

to talk about the case

and find some inspiration.

I wonder

if you are available.

I...

Yes, I am available.

What are you doing?

Trust me.

Yes.

You agreed?

Are you plotting something?

I want to be polite

towards you Qian's prince.

Can't I?

You don't have to agree

to talk about cases in their residence.

I'm yielding to the Prince's power,

can't I?

A fearless person

like you,

will take a useless

Qian Prince

seriously?

Do you think I'm stupid?

Just take it as I'm in a good mood.

Strange...

I've never seen

this coin pouch before.

How dare you!

You're thinking about trying to replenish health again.

This...

Gold!

You make it seem like you're so upright

but you took so many gold

behind my back.

This is my own.

You...

Why do you have so much gold?

Do you think I'm illiterate?

There's an official seal on it.

How dare you deny

that you took this from that eunuch from just now?

If you don't make it clear,

I'll return it for you.

Didn't you say you are losing your five senses?

How could you see

so clearly this time?

Asking me to bring a weak prince

to investigate the case?

Impossible.

My lord

is addicted to writing scripts.

He insisted on investigating the Nursery Rhyme Case.

I think you're good.

If you can take him

to investigate the case,

I can rest assured.

Impossible.

Su Jiu'er

is enough burden.

I don't want to bring myself

any more trouble.

Three to seven.

What do you mean?

I get 70%

and you get 30%.

Why should I give it to you?

Because I can

attract him to talk about the script with me.

If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have made so much money.

I'll get six and you get four.

- Stop the cart. I want to get off. - Wait.

Five to five.

Two to eight. I'm 80% and you're 20%.

If it weren't for me,

you wouldn't have had the chance to participate.

- Five to five– - One to nine.

I'm 90%

and you're 10%.

Young Master Han,

if you obey me now,

you can still get 10% of it.

Think about it.

Think carefully.

Oh no.

Oh no.

What now?

You need my

health again now?

I really need you now.

I'm 70% and you're 30%.

How about this,

five to five.

Two to eight.

Didn't you just say five to five just now?

I agree now.

Five to five.

One to nine.

Three to seven.

Three to seven.

I'm 30%

and you're 70%

It's so warm.

Alright.

That's about enough

for today.

Don't move.

It costed me a lot

to get this.

I need to replenish more.

Not only for today,

I want more time in the future.

That'd depend on my mood.

[Prince Jun's Mansion]

Sirs,

we have arrived at the residence.

Don't be all silly later

and tell everything

to that Wen Jun.

Don't worry.

I'm not a fool.

Although he doesn't

seem like a bad guy,

but I won't

reveal the case

and create more troubles.

What you said is nice indeed.

But you looked all rosy just now.

Wasn't it because

he's a prince?

It's not because of him.

It's because of gold.

With this gold,

I will be able to pay back

Jin Yuanwai's money.

Stop talking. They're here.

Ms. Jiu'er.

Mr. Han.

Your Highness.

This is my humble dwelling.

You call this a humble dwelling?

Sirs,

please come in.

Please, Your Highness.

Please.

This is so grand.

The person living here

must be the happiest person

in Jiuxiao city.

Above the Prince's Residence, there is also the Royal Palace.

I don't envy the palace.

There's no freedom there.

This place is better.

Can you talk less?

How embarrassing.

This young lady is straightforward.

She is very cute.

Did you hear that?

Why don't you two go to the study

for a seat with Eunuch Liu?

I'll come after I get changed.

Take care, Your Highness.

Ms. Jiu'er, this way please.

So magnificent.

Over there.

And there too.

Over there

is Prince's study.

Isn't this The West Chamber?

Prince Jun is really

obsessed with operas.

My lord

is not interested in politics,

but he loves operas.

He seemed happy dedicating himself

in these things.

So I let him be.

My request for you two is simple.

You took the initiative

to investigate the case with my lord.

Don't say it was my idea.

Could it be you want us to say that

we were moved

by Prince Jun's intelligence.

So we wanted to bring him along on this case?

That's what I mean.

But you can't just say it out like this.

Although His Highness is simple-minded,

but he's not stupid.

Your Highness.

Ms. Jiu'er, have a seat.

Young Master Han, have a seat.

Your Highness, I'll leave you to it.

Go ahead.

I'll take my leave.

Take care.

Ms. Jiu'er,

don't be so courteous.

Sit down.

This...

is a bit rude.

I hope you can treat me as a friend.

Friends

don't stand on ceremony.

I'm happier if you're relaxed.

All right.

Since Your Highness said so,

I'll do as you say.

Ms. Jiu'er,

let me show you something.

What is this?

So cute.

This is made by a prop master

at The Western Chamber.

I thought you would like it,

so I brought it for you.

You can have it.

Since we're friends,

I'll take it.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Let's put chatting aside,

don't forget about our business.

By the way, Prince Jun,

we haven't finished talking.

Since you care so much about

Zhamuke in "Through the Night,"

why did you have to write him

such a miserable ending?

Well,

I don't know how to say it.

But

the Zhamuke you speak of

is indeed real.

Who is it?

I have a friend.

His wife

eloped with a Qi man called Zhamuke

to the state of Qi.

Since then,

he changed a lot.

It's almost like he's a different person.

But the deep love

and complex feelings he has for his wife

touched me.

I couldn't help

but write it down in my script.

As for the ending you saw,

I didn't mean

to kill him.

Your friend

must want to kill Zhamuke.

Not really.

He's a very gentle person.

As for what you read

in the script,

is just words of anger I have exaggerated.

I visited his house a few days ago.

He still has the things

his wife used

placed in their original positions,

hoping his wife

would return one day.

That's how it is.

The real Zhamuke is dead?

How can they elope?

He's lying then.

Ms. Jiu'er,

you mentioning about this Zhamuke,

is it because you're suspecting that

he's the Qi murderer?

Well...

We're still investigating.

We can't confirm it.

I have another question.

Young Master,

you said you're not someone

from the Guard Command.

Why are you investigating the case

with Ms. Jiu'er?

It's none of your business.

Prince Jun.

This cup is shining so brightly.

It must be made of gold.

Right?

If you want to hear it,

I can tell you about it slowly.

So it's been a difficult time for Ms. Jiu'er

as she investigates cases in the Guard Command.

Thankfully there is Young Master Han to help.

Unfortunately,

the two of us

are still not enough.

We keep running into issues while investigating.

How about

I find some Qi people

to help you?

No, no.

No way.

It's already troublesome enough

with one Qi man.

If Commander Yan finds out,

I would lose my job.

What should we do

now that we are short of manpower?

We can't let the murderer

get away with it, right?

True...

Whatever.

Even if it's just the two of us,

we must bring him to justice.

Let's just do that.

Ms. Jiu'er.

H-how about me?

What about you?

To join you to investigate the case together!

No!

Of course not!

Prince Jun, listen.

Solving cases is different

from writing scripts.

You need to

stay out all day,

and use a lot of effort and money

to investigate cases.

You know?

Besides,

if His Majesty finds out

I'm ordering you around,

not only will I lose my job,

I might also die.

Don't worry.

My father seldom cares about me.

I'm very free.

Besides,

as a Prince,

joining you guys

and helping you investigate the case

would bring you a lot of benefits.

Really?

That's great!

Prince Jun

is intelligent, thoughtful,

and good at dealing with people.

Your smile is also mesmerizing.

With your help,

we'll be able to

find the murderer soon.

We will be investigation partners

in the future!

Here.

Sure.

Stupid woman.

She knows I am a clean freak.

She touched my hand and went on to touch others.

Young Master Han,

you're my first Qi friend.

What a coincidence.

He's also my first

Qi friend.

Really?

The Qi are different

from you.

We don't need friends.

Please don't mind him, Your Highness.

That's how the Qi are.

They like to be alone,

and doesn't like to come into contact with other people.

If you touch him,

he'll feel like

as if he was struck by lightning.

How about this?

I'll shake hands with you for him.

Okay.

Here.

Sure.

We've been talking for so long.

We haven't had tea yet.

Let's go.

Let's go eat some snacks.

Let's go.

These snacks

were made by my friend.

It's good.

His residence is not far from my residence.

So he often

delivers me some.

That friend of yours made this?

It looks delicious.

By the way, Prince Jun,

I have a favour to ask.

Here's the thing.

My mother

likes

eating snacks like this.

The Dragon Boat Festival

is coming soon.

I want to make

some unique snacks for her.

I wonder if Your Highness

could introduce this friend

to me?

I would like to learn from them.

How's that?

Well...

Is it not convenient?

Not really.

He's an imperial chef.

For the Dragon Boat Festival,

he has been busy preparing for the banquet to be held in the palace.

If you're in a hurry,

you can only go to the palace with me.

Is that troublesome?

Not at all.

I just need you to change into

a maid's clothes

and pretend to be my maid.

That's nothing.

I can do that.

Prince Jun,

can you bring this Qi bumpkin

in too

with us?

Let him see a whole new world.

Since you asked,

of course it's no problem.

It's a deal then.

Sir and Miss,

His Highness ordered to send you off.

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Wait.

If it's a Prince's Residence's cart

going through a pass,

you don't need a pass document right?

Of course not.

Who dares to make things difficult for Prince Jun's Residence?

Let's go then.

To the East Market.

What for?

Let me show you

the delicacies

of Qi.

The delicacies of Qi?

Sure.

I happen to be hungry.

Let's go.

[Qiwei Restaurant]

Here, have some.

Drink.

This is delicious.

Sirs, your towel is here.

Thank you.

Is this the delicacy you mentioned?

If you don't taste it,

how do you know it's not delicious?

No, thank you.

I'm full looking at these.

I told you

this is the best restaurant.

It is not bad indeed.

Seems like the Qi men in Jiuxiao City

have a societal hierarchy too.

All the people here

are rich people in fancy clothes.

Besides, isn't it said that

Qi men like to be alone?

But I see many people

sitting close together

on the same table

with no distance.

Why are you

so far away from me?

I'm used to being alone.

If you're too close,

I'll feel uncomfortable.

Did something happen

when you were young?

Or have any trauma?

I just think

when I'm alone,

I'm more alert

and won't be affected by emotions.

That sounds nice.

But I think you just don't have any friends.

Do you want to die?

I was

just kidding.

Why are you so triggered

and anxious?

Could it be...

I was right?

Right?

A normal Qian man like you

can't understand me.

You

should eat something

for your health.

No–

It seems

quite delicious.

Try this.

Pour some sesame oil

and it'd taste better.

Look, it's a Qian-Qi couple.

That Qian woman actually

eats Qi food.

The man is quite gentle.

He even fed her himself.

Stop talking. Let's go.

Oh right,

let's meet at our old place,

Huaide Workshop, at 5PM tomorrow.

We're going into the palace together.

No.

Why?

Didn't we agree?

To make me pretend to be

a Qian...

eunuch.

Do you think it's possible?

Why not?

It's just pretending.

What's my identity.

To be an–

I just can't.

What's your identity?

I thought you were rich.

You always

looked so proud.

In the end,

you took Liu Fu's gold

behind my back.

You're just

putting up a front.

Do you want to know?

If I tell you,

you will be killed.

Tell me then.

Scare me.
