[Warm on a Cold Night]

[Episode 11]

What's wrong?

I just arranged it in ascending order.

Yan Blackie, Yan Blackie, Yan Kuan.

Yan Kuan!

Why does he hold such a grudge?

He saw me coming back alone.

Then he vented his anger

on us.

Calm down.

Am I not here to accompany you?

Why is my life so miserable?

I thought

I got a patron,

who can handle cases and keep me in good health.

In the end,

I didn't gain enough health and longevity

but I lost half of my life

to clean up the mess for him.

What nonsense are you talking about?

You will live a long life.

Girl.

Speaking of which,

the Han guy

treats you differently.

How?

Can't you tell that?

He even dared to answer Yan Kuan back

and yelled at him.

But to you, he just...

That's it?

It's all fake.

He's always like that.

He yells at me first,

then gives me

some little benefits.

When I am about to

change my mind,

he then makes a fool of me.

Girl, this is an old trick.

I've seen a lot.

Let me tell you the truth.

Your father also used this trick

when he wooed your mother.

Girl.

What's wrong?

Does he have a crush on you?

You...

What are you talking about, Godfather?

He is the Prince of Qi.

He hates Qian people the most.

What about you?

Do you like him?

I notice that

you've been mentioning him lately.

He is mentioned in everything.

I...

Godfather, you're overthinking.

I know very well.

We, the Qian people,

in their eyes,

are just like a little hedgehog.

Then why would a hedgehog

fall in love

with a big bad wolf that might eat itself?

Right?

At most,

I'd like to use his power

to become a Commander

like my father, who can solve many cases.

Forget it.

One can't make a success without being self-reliant.

Yan Kuan, just wait and see.

I'll clean this up.

Girl,

you are not a little hedgehog.

It's all because

I'm useless.

If I were half as capable

as your born father,

I wouldn't have let the little hedgehog

make a living with the big bad wolf.

Godfather.

What are you talking about?

Back then,

you protected my father.

I can find the proof for you if you don't believe me.

He wrote it before.

Here is it.

Here is it.

This's it.

Here.

Look.

Look.

Inspector Hu went straight in

to arrest the culprit

before he shot the poisonous arrow

so that the tragedy wouldn't happen.

Look.

Don't mention it.

It was nothing.

We were brothers. Look.

Here's what happened at the time.

Forget it.

Let's move on.

Everyone knew

your father was the...

I contributed

only a little help.

Without your father,

I would be a boor.

You are not.

Get back to work.

Let's get back to work.

We're going to finish the work

and go home early today.

Slow down.

I'm fine.

Slow down, Godfather.

I'm strong.

Su Jiu'er.

It doesn't matter to feel aggrieved.

You must make a good showing.

Live as long as you can.

You still have so many people

you want to be with.

This girl

is just like Su.

Father was amazing.

He always found clues,

even in complicated cases.

This doesn't seem to be the document.

It's my father's notebook.

Three scars.

This is strange.

How could Father draw

that Qi guy?

Oh no!

I spent too much today.

I haven't replenished my health and longevity yet.

I...

Guess who I am.

It's my dear Jiu'er.

Jiu'er,

I'm drawing.

Wait here for a while.

After I'm done,

I'll buy you Tanghulu.

Alright?

Okay.

Have a seat.

Father.

Who are you drawing?

I remember a few clues

that I need to draw first.

I'm afraid after a long time,

I will forget.

You're drawing

for the trip to Shuobei, aren't you?

You are indeed very smart.

Father.

Come back early this time.

You must catch up with the Lantern Festival this year.

Okay, I promise you.

I'll be back before the Lantern Festival.

Pinky swear.

Pinky swear.

Open your mouth.

Father, I want that.

I want that rabbit-shaped lantern.

Okay.

Now I have a rabbit.

I have a rabbit-shaped lantern.

Father, you're awesome!

Come on, this way.

Father!

Father, wake up!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Jiu'er.

Jiu'er.

Jiu'er.

Mother.

Come.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Don't move.

It doesn't hurt.

I'm fine, Mother.

It just hurts a little.

Alright, Mother.

There's no need for you to stay with me.

Go back and have some rest.

I'm not tired.

Close your eyes.

Hurry, sleep well.

Good girl.

Dali.

Look at Jiu'er.

I thought she could achieve great success

after befriending the Prince of Qi.

But she suffered from the falling instead.

If the Prince of Qi didn't

disrespect

and offend Yan Blackie,

how could Jiu'er

be locked up to clean the storage?

What? Last night, the one who fell in the storage

was Jiu'er?

Who else do you think?

[Inspection Bureau]

Besides that,

I heard that her leg was broken.

She couldn't come to the Inspection Bureau

for the next few days.

No need to go to the Inspection Bureau recently.

Your godfather

will handle the file organization for you.

Don't try to run away.

The neighbors on this street

are all my people.

Girl.

Don't tell me you have become silly because you fell.

I'm fine, Mother.

I just...

dreamed of my father.

Mother.

I remember

you told me

my father died

because he caught a cold in Shuobei.

But I just remembered

there were

a lot of grey-black spots on him.

What was going on?

No way.

You got it wrong.

No.

I will never forget

that day when Father died.

What illness was Father having?

All right. Come on.

That's a common disease among the Qi people.

It's just that the Qian people couldn't cure it.

Then why do you keep telling me

my father caught a cold?

It was...

It was your father

who told me to say that before he died.

Why?

Think about it.

Qian and Qi had such a bad relationship back then.

Your father got sick from Shuobei.

Although he didn't infect others,

people with bad intentions would make speculation.

Besides,

you were sick at that time.

Your father

was afraid that you would be bullied

before he died.

But why did Father

contract such a strange disease?

I-I didn't go to Shuobei with him.

H-How would I know?

You're right.

Although I'm curious too,

Su said,

don't get to the bottom.

If Jiu'er gets suspicious,

she will take the risk to investigate.

By the way, Mother,

don't you have a medical manual?

I want to take a look.

You just solved a big case.

So now you're going through your father's old scores,

aren't you?

You seem to be

too excited.

Come on, let me give you acupuncture

to calm you down.

Let you calm down!

Who is it?

Who is it?

Miss Jiu'er.

So you really live here.

Your Highness.

Why are you here?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Sorry for being rude

and interrupting your conversation.

I'll go out now.

Who is this?

This is Prince Jun.

Greetings, Prince Jun.

Your Highness.

I don't know

what your preferences are.

So I take some from each kind.

Here.

Eat this.

Here.

Here, Your Highness. Please take it.

Let me do it.

Okay, you do it.

I'll make you some tea.

Jiu'er.

Su,

Did you bless our daughter

when watching this from heaven?

It's not in vain

that I burn incense for you every day.

Isn't this the backyard?

Nice view.

Let me take a look.

What happened to your leg?

I accidentally strained

in Inspection Bureau.

Not a big deal.

By the way, Your Highness.

What brings you here?

Here's the thing.

I have some clues

about the person you asked me to find.

But when I went to the Inspection Bureau,

they said you took a sick leave.

So I came to check on you.

You found a clue so soon?

How is it soon?

It's been a full day and night.

I don't want to hold you back.

Tell me then.

But I want to

take you there to see it in person.

However, your leg...

Your Highness, my leg is fine.

It doesn't matter.

Let's go now.

Miss Jiu'er.

How about this?

Take your time to recover.

And I'll arrange

for us to check it out together.

Your Highness.

Judging from what you said,

have you arrested

the three-scar Qi?

Miss Jiu'er, you misunderstood.

The clue I'm looking for is not a living person,

but a painting.

A painting?

This Qi guy is very strange.

I asked everyone in my residence

to inquire about it.

Other than the Nursery Crime Case,

those passersby

have never seen

a Qi with three scars on his face anymore.

Then,

I checked the Official Namelist.

As expected, there was no record of him.

In this direction,

I expanded the search range.

Then I remembered

there was an anomaly painting.

A three-scar Qi happened to be

on the painting.

Although the painter draws ghostly figures,

they all have their origins.

So I think the painting

has something unusual.

I want to take you there in a few days.

What are they mumbling about?

I can't hear them.

Why is the Prince

so haunting?

You scared me.

Why isn't there a sound

when you walk?

Who are you?

I'm a colleague of Su Jiu'er.

Just came a Prince.

And now,

came a tall and handsome colleague.

My daughter is not feeling well lately.

But her luck in love

is quite prosperous.

What brings you here?

I heard she got hurt.

Is everything okay?

How would I know?

Go in and see for yourself.

Go in and ask yourself.

Come on.

Jiu'er.

Your colleague is here.

Take your time.

W-Why are you here?

Isn't he here too?

I guess Brother Han must be like me.

He heard that Miss Jiu'er was sick.

so he came to visit.

Right?

What is this?

Open it.

It must be a gift.

Baozi?

What does this mean?

Brother Han,

your ideas are unique.

I heard you hurt your leg.

So I bought some supplements

for you to replenish.

How can baozi replenish health?

Why doesn't

he know

the social norms at all?

Forget it.

He's your health and longevity.

You should be tolerant of him.

I appreciate your kindness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

It sounds like

you don't feel like eating.

No way, you have to eat one

and get well soon.

Otherwise,

how are you going to investigate the case with me?

I ate a lot this morning.

I'm not eating now.

What does replenishing health have to do

with whether you're full or not?

Come on, have one.

I don't want to eat.

Why are you forcing me?

Hurry up.

Have one.

I-I don't want to eat.

You have to.

What are you doing?

Brother Han.

This may be a tonic

in Qi.

However, in our country,

it is just breakfast.

A breakfast?

I asked you to find something

Qian people use to nourish their bodies.

Is this good for health?

Besides, this is too monotone.

You don't understand, Your Highness.

There are meat and noodles inside.

And most importantly,

I've tasted all in Jiuxiao City.

This is the best.

Keha, you're dead.

And you left without saying goodbye yesterday.

I think

you should apologize.

It's none of your business.

It indeed has nothing to do with me.

But I think

the way Qi and Qian get along with

is different.

If you really want

to apologize,

I have a suggestion.

Do you want to hear it?

What is it?

Look.

Jiu'er hurt her leg severely.

She won't be able to patrol the streets these days.

But her duty

as an Inspector of the Inspection Bureau

can't be neglected

How about this?

We take over her job

so that she can recuperate well.

We...

You and me.

We can have a chat while doing the patrol.

Time will pass soon.

Who wants to chat with you

while patrolling the streets?

I don't want.

Why?

We, Qi people, are always alone.

But...

Miss Jiu'er needs your help.

My leg...

It hurts suddenly.

My poor foot.

If I hadn't been so tired yesterday,

how could I

break it?

Am I right?

Am I right?

Right?

That's right, Brother Han.

Please help her.

It hurts so much.

Stupid woman.

How dare she hint at me with her legs?

No way I'm taking that.

Fine.

It's like every time

I use this tactic,

he'll waver.

A big bad wolf

is also sympathetic.

It's because

you're injured.

Then, Miss Jiu'er,

Brother Han and I

will patrol the streets in a while.

Don't worry.

Wait.

Your Highness.

I have something

to talk to Prince Han alone.

Would you mind leaving us alone?

Sure.

I'll be out there to admire the beauty of flowers.

Please do so.

[He'an Hall]

I'm telling you.

Miss Jiu'er asked me to come out

because she thinks

Brother Han has a weird personality.

She wants to

reason with him secretly.

It's really tiring for her.

Sit down.

Your leg is injured.

You...

Sit tight.

Yes.

It's really tiring for her.

Let me tell you.

Brother Han, although he's old,

his behaviour is just like a kid's.

Yes.

Speaking gossip behind others

is not a gentleman's doing.

Yes.

Why did you

leave without saying goodbye yesterday?

I waited so long for you

but I didn't see you.

Were you trying to trick me

or did something urgent happen?

What do you think?

You found something,

didn't you?

I smelled the three-scar Qi

in the market yesterday.

So I followed him.

But I lost him.

You're so skillful in martial arts.

How could you lose him?

Not really.

He was beating around the bush.

It seemed that he deliberately wanted me

aware of his existence.

In the end, he left a message

and said he would show up again.

I'm curious about one thing.

Go ahead.

Chef Zhang's case

is related to officials, imperial chefs,

the royal family,

and kung fu masters.

Do you think the three-scar Qi

is one of the

big shots of the Qi race?

Who cares?

Just catch him.

Then why did he target you?

Why must you

catch him?

Don't you understand me?

This

has nothing to do with you.

Does he have a name?

If he does,

I can go through the documents.

Maybe I can find some clues

with that.

No way he uses his own name.

What if he uses it?

It's not a big deal to have a check.

Don't you understand my words?

I told you

it has nothing to do with you.

What you need to do is find him.

The rest is none of your business.

I...

Aren't we partners?

If you drop asking, we're partners.

If you insist, we're enemies.

Think about it

and make a choice.

Okay.

I'll stop asking the question.

I only want to help you

investigate the case.

Why are you so fierce?

Actually,

what I want to say is

don't ask about the three-scar Qi anymore.

This is where you draw the line,

right?

Why was I so fierce just now?

Can't I talk nicely?

I scared her.

Give me your hand.

I didn't replenish enough health and longevity

for you last night.

I'll make it up to you today.

He's always like this.

When I thought he was annoying,

he suddenly became

reasonable.

If he knew that

my father had investigated the three-scar Qi,

what would he do?

Will he help me

or treat me like an enemy?

What?

You are too timid

to talk after being scared by me?

How could I

be so timid?

Besides,

I asked you the questions

just

to solve the case as soon as possible.

Even without your clue,

I can still find

the three-scar Qi.

I hope so.

But, Prince Han.

Before that,

can you

teach me some Qi characters?

It's not hard.

Give me your hand.

If I mess up the order of words,

he won't be able to notice

what I'm trying to ask.

Just

some numbers of the Qi race.

Five, two, three.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I saw it

when I was organizing the files.

Since you are a Qi,

I learn more about Qi characters

so that we can communicate more conveniently

in the future.

There must be something wrong

she asked this of a sudden.

Written on the portrait

is 2355.

[2355]

Could it be on the 23rd year of Dingkun,

May 5?

That was the last time Father

went to Shuobei.

Could it be Father

had met with the three-scar Qi?

In each district,

patrol twice before sunset.

You may reduce the frequency within an acceptable range at night.

What is the acceptable range?

I'll help them

standardize it later.

You're being nosy again.

No, I'm not.

Brother Han, you don't know that

I have a shortcoming.

If I see anything

that doesn't match,

I feel uncomfortable.

I know.

You know?

How did you know?

You and Miss Jiu'er

treated me as a suspect before this.

Brother Han,

why don't you have your uniform?

Did the Inspection Bureau slight you?

How dare they!

I dislike these ugly clothes.

The tailors hired by the Inspection Bureau are not skillful enough.

How about this?

I'll customize one for you another day.

Same as me,

use top-quality materials.

What do you think?

Your Highness.

I'm curious.

Why are you so obsessed with

Inspector's uniform?

Well...

Prince Han.

I think

it's not about the uniform.

Apparently,

it's because of Miss Jiu'er.

What's wrong with her?

I heard that

Qi would only be a grown-up at 60 years old.

And you'll only have one partner in your life.

No wonder you are

insensitive to these things.

You're even worse than a eunuch.

What are you trying to say?

Actually, I don't like this uniform.

But for Miss Jiu'er,

I'm willing to give it a try.

[Drunkery]

What do you mean?

Do you like her?

No.

Whether you like her or not,

it has nothing to do with me.

Why bother telling me?

That's right.

I haven't found the person yet.

How dare you

take my partner

away?

What kind of wine with such a bad taste?

What a waste.

Someone else will drink it if you don't.

Sir, slow down.

I can still drink.

Waiter, another bottle of wine.

Coming.

Here.

It's on you, Brother Han.

In Shuobei,

no one

will touch other people's cups,

let alone drink others' wine.

This isn't Shuobei.

We're not as indifferent as you guys.

In our place,

you're a passerby when drinking the first cup

but a friend when drinking the second cup.

Come on, friend.

Since you drank my wine,

I have something to ask you.

Uncle Hu, you have to answer honestly.

Those in Inspection Bureau said

Jiu'er was punished to clean the storage

because of me.

Is that true?

It has nothing to do with you.

It's Yan Kuan's fault.

He held a grudge.

Since you have a high status,

when you contradict him,

he has to vent his anger on others.

In the Inspection Bureau,

there are all men

with bad tempers.

Who can he vent his anger on?

Only Jiu'er

is gentle

and well-educated.

Bullies pick soft targets.

How bad he is.

That's because of me.

I'll teach you a lesson today.

I'm gonna drink your wine

and make you feel guilty

towards Jiu'er.

Young man,

don't take it to heart.

My daughter

has been very smart since she was young

and always wants to be a good Inspector.

She is well-educated,

and amicable.

I didn't expect

you'd only been here for two months,

but she already broke her leg

and got punished because of you.

But she never holds grudges.

Why do I feel that

you're being ironic?

Also, my friend.

Don't take it to heart.

Don't mind.

She even got flogged for you.

She doesn't hold a grudge.

Uncle Hu.

Just get to the point.

I don't like to owe others.

I'm a straightforward person.

I'm speaking frankly.

Jiu'er

has a good personality

and she's smart.

The only shortcoming is she's in poor health.

Even so,

she was flogged for you.

It shows how much she cares

about you as her partner.

I got it.

My ability to talk nonsense

is as good as before.

Girl.

Your godfather

will pave a way for you.

Good brother.

You're straightforward.

Since we've come to this point,

I have a secret.

Do you want to hear it?

What is it?

Do you want to know

how to make up

with Jiu'er?

Go ahead.

Waiter.

One more bottle of wine.

Hurry up.

Coming.

This is so beautiful.

I'm glad you like it.

There are lantern riddles ahead.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Mother, I want to go there.

Do you want to solve the lantern riddles?

Let's play lantern riddles here.

Let's go.

If you guess it right,

you can choose the lanterns up here.

There are so many riddles here.

If you guess it right, you can take the lanterns.

Young Master, look at this.

The Lantern Festival is around the corner.

Jiu'er loves rabbit-shaped lanterns the most.

Unexpectedly,

she likes this kind of thing.

Boss,

how much is the lantern?

Sir,

are you kidding?

This is a stall for lantern riddles.

You spend money to solve lantern riddles here.

In the end, whoever guesses the most

will take the lantern away.

What is the riddle?

Pinwheel.

Take a look at pinwheels.

This is pretty.

It's very unique.

I don't want.

Where are you going? So mysterious.

You'll know when we get there.

Hurry up.

That one.

Do you like this?

Can't I?

You can.

You used to love eating rabbits.

I didn't expect you

to be interested in

these paper-made rabbits.

Cut the crap.

The Qian culture is deep and profound.

Can you handle it?

Of course I can.

But why should I help you

with this?

I'm not interested

in these paper-made rabbits at all.

Tell me. What is your condition?

You know what I want to hear.

Call me.

Impossible.

Then I have no choice.

Thank you, sister.

Boss,

I want all the lanterns

you have.

This...

Stupid woman.

Why does she like this kind of thing?

Not bad.

Today is indeed a wonderful day

to experience the life

and feel the custom of the Qian.

Look.

The man with the rabbit-shaped lantern

is so handsome.

But he has someone

by his side.

Can't you see that?

He's so handsome.

But the two of them

look like a great match.

Qian girls are so boring.

All they think about is love.

Are you happy?

Hanzheng.

Do you know the origin of the Lantern Festival?

What is it?

The Lantern Festival

is similar to our Under the Moon Festival.

It's the day when a man and a woman make their love promise.

No, man...

A man and a woman make their love promise?

Let me remind you.

Although you don't understand love,

Qian is different from Qi.

Once you invite a girl to the Lantern Festival

and give her the festive lantern she loves,

that's a token of love.

Tell me.

Who are you going to

give this rabbit-shaped lantern to?

I'll give it to myself.

Can't I like it?

We're almost there.

Okay.

Guys.

This road is blocked. Please take a detour.

Here has been booked

by His Highness.

His Highness? Which prince is it?

How many princes there are

in Jiuxiao City?

You two should go somewhere else.

Let's go over there.

Okay.

Your Highness.

Everything is ready.

The road is blocked.

It's right ahead.

Everything is ready.

Okay.

Miss Jiu'er.

You look

pretty today.

If my mother hadn't forced me,

I wouldn't have dressed like this.

Why did she force you?

She...

I'm going to investigate a case.

Why are you dressing me so seriously?

Your mother has been the wife of an inspector

for so long.

If he doesn't like you,

write my name upside down.

I think you really need to

write your name upside down.

His warm heart

is not for me,

but the script.

He just wants to collect materials

for his scripts.

There's one more.

Come on, let me have a look.

Forget it.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Let's take a walk.

Boss.

A pot of tea.

Noted, please wait for a moment.

What are you doing?

I want to know

what they are talking about.

I'm thirsty too.

You speak with a forked tongue.

Who are you talking about?

Your Highness.

Aren't you taking me

to see the painting?

Why are we here at the Lantern Festival?

We're indeed here to see the painting.

But if we just borrow the painting,

others may feel suspicious.

So,

with the name of Secret Guest,

I invited all painters

to hold an exhibition here.

In name,

we pray for the people of Jiuxiao City.

In fact,

we can sneak into the crowd

and watch it quietly.

They won't find out.

Your Highness,

you are really a model for our generation.

You worked so hard

to write scripts and collect materials.

You will definitely become

a famous big shot in the future.

It's not all for the case,

but to help you.

Your Highness,

I'm just an Inspector.

I don't deserve you

to spend so much money.

Miss Jiu'er.

Aren't we friends?

We're friends.

So we should make it clear.

Fine.

I'll tell you then.

You're not just a friend to me.

If he doesn't like you,

write my name upside down.

You really don't remember me.

You are...

It's me.

Don't, Your Highness.

I can't bear that.

No.

Have you forgotten

how you called me?

I...

What did I call you?

That autumn,

outside the Guanyin Temple.

What?

Let go!

Mother!

Let go! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Why did Father detain you here?

Jun.

Mother has contracted pox.

Everyone will die if they are infected.

Mother.

Go back with Fuzi.

Mother.

From now on,

Mother.

don't come to see me.

Why is no one

willing to save my mother?

Who said no one would save her?

My mother is willing to save her.

Cry-baby.

It's you?

Yes.

It's you.

Cry-baby?

What is she talking about?

I didn't want you

to address me with that.

Oh ya.

You're a Prince now.

I remember

when your mother passed away.

You came to cry at the temple

every fifth day of the lunar month.

You never came here again after that.

I thought you stopped crying

after you'd grown up.

So you didn't come again.

I wanted to see you,

but the Empress took me to the palace.

I couldn't come out.

When I went to Guanyin Temple after that,

I couldn't find you anymore.

Why didn't you tell me?

I wanted to wait until

I had some achievements

and you were impressed by me.

By then, I would tell you.

But

you avoided me.

Why didn't you tell me earlier

that you're Jun?

I knew it.

How could I

be favored by a Prince?

In the future,

I will just call you Jiu'er.

Okay.

I'll call you Jun.

When someone is around,

I'd better call you Your Highness.

Okay, I'll listen to you.

Let's go.

Jiu'er.

Wait for me.

Mister, can you

sell this lantern to me?

This...

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Jiu'er.

I remember you said

you like festive lanterns.

I wanted to give it to you.

I finally bought it today.

Now I have a rabbit.

I have a rabbit-shaped lantern.

Father, you're awesome!

Thank you, Jun.

I thought you were the only one

who likes festive lanterns.

So that girl likes them too.

Since she likes them,

I won't like them anymore.

This is the art exhibition

I prepare for you.

This way.

This is the painting.

There are all lovey-dovey couples

over the street.

It makes me feel hot.

Thank you for accompanying me today, General.

I'm leaving.
