[Warm on a Cold Night]

[Episode 31]

We won't leave

until we see Prince Jun.

We won't leave!

We won't leave!

We won't go back!

We won't leave if you don't let His Highness go!

Let His Highness go!

Let His Highness go!

We won't leave if you don't.

We won't leave if you don't.

General.

It's Miss Jiu'er and Prince Jun.

I'll go help.

They must be looking for us

through making so much noise.

There must be news about Han Zheng.

We won't leave.

Release him! Release him!

We are not afraid!

Not afraid!

Don't move!

What should we do?

Let's see who dares to move.

Step back.

Here!

Jun!

It's the general!

General and Keha!

What should we do now?

Think of something!

Liu Fu, use your ultimate move!

He hit me! Charge! He hit me!

Send people! Is there still law?

He hit me!

He hit me!

He hit me! Send people!

He's hitting me!

He's hitting me!

General!

Keha!

I know where Han Zheng is!

He's in a cave.

Wait.

Let's talk over there.

Let's go.

Here.

It should be safe here.

Jiu'er,

why are you here

with Prince Jun?

I know where Han Zheng is.

I ate his Qi Vital Stone

and saw him in my dream.

I...

Princess Heyin.

Heyin?

Princess?

Brother Jun!

Brother Jun.

Why are you here?

Brother Jun,

tell me,

why does my father want to kill Han Zheng?

Also,

what are you doing here?

What does my father want to do?

Oh right, Heyin,

you've been playing here since you were a kid,

you know this place best.

Tell me

where the cave is.

It's a

deep and big cave.

Yes.

Answer my question first.

Why does my father want to kill Han Zheng?

Princess Heyin,

please tell us.

If we don't leave now,

Han Zheng is going to die!

Die?

Yes!

You don't want your father

to become a murderer, right?

There is a huge cave

in the downstream of the river over there.

I'll take you there.

All right.

Marquis.

Some people broke into the cave.

Prince Jun seems to be part of them.

What?

You useless bunch!

I deserve to die.

Our men are all at the gate

trying to stop Prince Jun's men.

We don't have any more manpower.

Besides, there are also two Qi men

among those who barged in.

Qi men?

They are very skilled.

Marquis, what should we do now?

Not only that prince,

but also all the Qi men

we kidnapped from the Starry Night

are captured in that cave.

We can only destroy the evidence by destroying their corpse.

Come.

Hurry.

Brother Jun!

Let go!

Go quickly!

Go!

Be careful.

Prepare all the wicks that leads to the gunpowder

in the cave.

Yes.

Yes.

Save me...

Han Zheng... Han Zheng!

Where are you?

What did they do wrong?

Why are they locked up here?

I'll tell you later.

Kill me.

Don't worry. You will be saved soon.

Here.

Be careful.

Wait here.

I'll be right back.

Go find Han Zheng.

Okay.

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han–

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng, wake up!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Don't scare me, Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng...

Jiu'er.

You finally found me.

Han Zheng...

You scared me.

You're finally awake.

I finally found you.

Why did this happen?

Why would Father

capture Han Zheng?

Marquis, Marquis! This...

Marquis,

they're going to leave soon.

It'll be too late if we don't blow it up.

Fool.

The princess is still inside.

Marquis,

what should we do now?

I'm afraid we won't be able to

keep whats in the cave a secret anymore.

They won't get out of the hunting ground alive.

The most important thing now

is to protect Heyin!

Hurry up.

Go.

Go!

Oh no.

Go!

Heyin!

Heyin is taken away!

Watch Han Zheng

My Heyin!

- Father! -Heyin!

Father!

Are you okay, Father?

I'm glad you're fine.

I'm glad you're fine.

Come.

Shoot!

- Don't shoot. - Heyin!

There are still people inside!

- Heyin. - Father.

Brother Jun is still inside.

Protect His Highness.

I'll go save them!

Don't shoot.

Brother Jun is still inside.

Why are you still thinking about

that traitor?

Set the fire!

Stop!

Heyin!

Father, Brother Jun is still inside.

- You can't set it on fire! - Enough!

Father!

Heyin!

Are they more important

or your father?

Father...

Catch her!

Don't kill my father!

Go!

Go!

Quick!

Brother Jun!

Liu Fu, go after him!

Yes.

Protect Marquis Hou!

Protect–

Your Highness.

Get up quickly!

Father.

I won't run anymore.

I can't run anymore, Father.

Those locked up in those caves

are bad people, right?

That's why you

locked them up.

And that Han Zheng...

Father made a mistake, right?

They are all bad people.

Father is the good person.

Father is a good man, right?

Old man.

Run!

Father!

You are dead!

Stop!

I'm going to take your life!

Hurry!

Take us away!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father, hang in there. Father...

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father, don't go.

Heyin!

Father, don't leave me alone.

Father!

Heyin.

Father!

Here.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I heard that Prince Han

is severely injured.

I asked Jiu'er and Keha

to send him back first.

Go get Imperial Physician Liu

to Prince Han's residence to treat him.

Yes.

Prince Jun.

Help bandage them.

Yes.

Crown Prince.

Be careful.

Are you okay?

Uncle Xian is dead.

I know.

I didn't expect this to happen.

I just wanted to save Brother Han.

Why did this happen?

The person who killed him

was the murderer.

But at the end of the day,

it was uncle who did something wrong.

Who is that person?

Why did he kill Uncle Xian?

I saw my uncle

saying this to the man:

"Hurry, take us away."

They must know each other!

Brother,

you have to help me.

Help me find that person, okay?

Okay.

You're tired.

Go back and rest.

Leave this to me.

Here.

Here.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Forgive me for being rude.

There's something in the cave.

I want to take Your Highness

to have a look.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes,

it would be hard to believe that

Uncle Xian would do

such an unforgivable thing.

I thought Marquis Xian was the one

who manipulated the Qi Vital Stone business.

Unexpectedly,

he got murdered so easily.

It shows that

there has to be someone even bigger behind him.

I promised you

to investigate the trade of Qi Vital Stone

and cut off this business from its source.

I am a man of my words.

But there aren't many people in Jiuxiao City

who have greater power than Marquis Xian.

If Your Highness keeps investigating,

and find out that it's someone that you can't touch...

Marquis Xian is my mother's brother.

Even with no evidence.

I helped you to get into

the western suburbs' hunting ground.

Isn't this enough to prove

my determination to eliminate evil?

In that case, I, Chilan,

shall thank Your Highness on behalf of

the Qi people in Jiuxiao City.

Make sure the truth comes out.

But you need to be mentally prepared.

From what I know about Father,

I'm afraid this matter can't be

investigate in the light.

Let's go.

The Siren Murder case

was done by Marquis Xian?

It's him?

It's him?

Marquis Xian...

resisted arrest

and was killed him on the spot.

This...

This is so scary!

Exactly.

He got lucky.

He killed so many people

selling Qi Vital Stone.

In my opinion,

we have to confiscate his house

and divide his unjust wealth.

We should divide his money.

Why are you, a Qi, so excited about this?

What?

Us Qi's lives

is not a life?

I didn't say that.

Don't make trouble.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

That's what I mean.

Do it!

Stop fighting!

Stop! Stop!

How dare you!

You Qian people caused so much harm

[Notice]

to us Qi

and now you want to chase us away?

What a jerk.

Wait.

My father gave this to me.

You can't take it away.

Your Highness.

Marquis bought these

with ill-gotten gains.

It should be confiscated by the state treasury.

We're just following orders.

My father painted these himself.

[Heyin's gift, 8-year-old birthday]

He didn't buy this.

We're just doing our job.

If you keep doing this,

we'll arrest you.

You can't go.

Move.

Be polite.

She's a princess after all.

Brother Li,

she won't be a princess any more in two days.

Have you ever seen a princess

whose father is a murderer?

Who are you calling a murderer?

This is a gift my father gave to me

on my birthday.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Let go!

Give it to me!

Let go!

Move!

How dare you bite me?

All right, get back to work.

Mr. Wei from Nanfeng Studio

specially painted this for Heyin.

Look.

The deer's eyes

are like Heyin's.

Look.

I don't want it.

I don't want it.

I don't want the deer!

I want mother!

I want mother!

Look.

Next to the deer

is its mother.

Just like

Heyin's mother,

she will always be by your side

and has never left you.

I want to paint too.

Sure.

What is this?

This is Father.

Princess.

Sorry.

Sorry, harmony.

If I didn't take you

to look for Han Zheng,

this wouldn't have happened,

right?

I'm sorry.

I used you.

But...

if I don't do this,

Han Zheng will die.

Many people will die too.

Then why are you so nice

to them then?

You're so nice to everyone

but so bad to me.

From now on,

treat you very well.

I-I'll give my everything

to make it up to you.

I don't want you.

I don't want you!

I only want my father!

I don't want you!

I only want my father!

Father!

I don't want you! I don't!

The Inspection bureau received an order.

They want to put the blame of

the Siren Murder case and the

trade of Qi Vital Stone on Marquis Xian.

They want to appease

the people

as soon as possible.

Marquis Xian

was murdered.

But the notice says

he got killed while resisting his arrest.

But now that Marquis Xian is dead,

and the clues are gone.

There's no way to investigate.

When I was in the cave,

Marquis Xian

mentioned an organization

called Snow Chamber.

The organization

with a snowflake emblem.

That's right.

The jade ring that Marquis Xian

brings around with him has a snowflake emblem

on the inside of it.

It should be the symbol of the Snow Chamber.

If so,

the person who killed Marquis Xian

should be someone from the Snow Chamber.

I also heard Marquis Xian say

they are preparing a big gift

for the Qi race.

A big gift?

Then...

do they have

another ulterior motive?

We're in the dark now.

We can only wait and see.

Oh right,

when the Inspection Bureau

was searching Marquis Xian's residence

was there any new discovery?

There are many treasures,

but we didn't find

anything that is

is related to the ember.

In a while, Nameless Art Gallery

will return everything

here.

Let's go

take another look.

Let's go.

Let's go interrogate

the shopkeeper of Nameless Art Gallery

and see if we can

get anything out of him.

[Inspection Bureau]

Chen Li.

Are all of Marquis Xian's

belongings here?

These belong to Marquis Xian's residence.

Those are from Nameless Art Gallery.

We're putting them here for tonight.

They will be submitted to the treasury tomorrow.

Let's go.

Lass.

What are you looking for?

You're being all mysterious.

It's none of your business.

Let's go.

Boss.

This Han Zheng really

doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

He's going in and out of the Inspection Bureau

like it's his home.

Is there anything you can do?

The Commander has agreed.

Can you stop him?

I knew it wouldn't be there.

You knew?

In the cave,

in order to get some words out of Marquis Xian,

I told him the content of

the letter.

You know this letter?

But the information is wrong.

The Holy Fire

is still in our country.

Impossible.

Us Snow Chamber's information

can never be wrong.

The reaction that Marquis Xian gave me

made me feel that the ember

is not in his hands

nor in Snow Chamber's.

If the Snow Chamber

didn't get the ember either,

Where could the ember be?

Could it be...

Muyan has it?

Brother Li.

I have already set things up with Shopkeeper Li.

Okay, got it.

Let's go interrogate Shopkeeper Li first.

Shopkeeper Li,

we meet again

Inspector Su.

I didn't expect this would be how we meet again

after a few months.

Prince Han,

I deeply sympathize with you.

But...

I had no choice.

Please don't mind it.

It's okay.

I

hold a grudge.

I'm just an accountant.

I run errands for the Marquis occasionally.

I didn't do anything bad.

I...

The business of Marquis Xian kidnapping Qi

started from the rumor of the Daylight Water vessel?

Yes.

In the beginning, the Qi Vital Stone

transacted in this business were

willingly sold by the Qi people.

But unexpectedly,

it became unstoppable.

The price of Qi Vital Stone

skyrocketed.

Many years ago,

I mentioned to Marquis Hou that

there was a ship that goes between

Shuobei and Jiuxiao City.

The people on the boat

would disappear after

arriving at the port

mysteriously.

Later, there was a rumor that

they were all eaten by a siren.

So the Marquis used this rumor

to kidnap Qi people.

Causing accidents on the vessel

and kidnapping

so many Qi people

is not

a simple thing.

Did Marquis Xian orchestrate this

all by himself?

I'm sure.

It's all by himself.

Have you heard of Snow Chamber?

No.

Let me show you another thing.

Have you seen this before?

It looks familiar.

This is the emblem on the ring that

Marquis Xian never takes off.

Have you every seen this

somewhere else before?

N-No.

You don't know anything.

You must know very well

what is done to the Qi people

in the cave.

Do you want to try it yourself?

No, no, no.

I-I really don't know.

At the beginning,

I didn't agree

what Marquis Xian does.

But

I have

a sick mother

I need to take care of.

I–

The Crown Prince is here.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Prince Han,

Miss Jiu'er,

at ease.

What brings you here, Your Highness?

Although the case was closed

to appease the people,

we all know that

there must be a lot more people

who must be involved in this

behind Marquis Xian.

I must find out the truth.

How is the interrogation going?

Other than the first few things he mentioned,

he said nothing else.

It's not that I'm not saying anything.

I-it's because

I don't know anything.

It's all right.

Leave it to us.

This Crown Prince

is Wen Jun's brother after all.

He looks gentle.

Do you think

he really can interrogate the criminal?

Your Highness, I have already said everything I–

I know...

I really don't know

anything more.

I...

Crown–

It seems

you worried too much.

I will speak!

I will speak.

There's no rush.

Think about it.

Once you're done thinking, you can say them all in one go.

I'm done...

I'm done...

thinking...

Please come in.

I really don't know

about Snow Chamber.

But

every time Marquis Xian

is meeting a certain big figure,

he doesn't allow us to follow him.

Who is it?

Administer Deng.

Administer Deng.

Bring him to the Law Department.

Yes, sir

I do remember this

Administer Deng.

We met him when

we were punished

Administer Deng has never formed a clique.

He has always been nice

towards trade with the State of Qi.

Could it be that

he just named anymore?

It doesn't seem that way.

Administer Deng commands hundreds of officials

and is revered by many.

His influence to the court

is higher than mine.

If Shopkeeper Li wants to just

name a random name,

he wouldn't have mentioned him.

Shopkeeper Li mentioned Snow Chamber.

What is that place?

When I was captured

by Marquis Xian,

I heard him mention this organization.

It seems to be

an organization that has a lot of information.

Marquis Xian is also one of them.

Your Highness,

have you ever heard of it?

It's my first time hearing it.

Is Administer Deng from Snow Chamber?

With Marquis Xian on the front,

and Administer Deng under the table...

Could there be

many officials who are involved

in this organization.

Ridiculous.

In the court,

it's a taboo to form cliques for personal gain.

I need to find out what's going on

in this Snow Chamber.

Administer Deng is in a high position.

If he really

is involved,

even if we want to investigate,

it'd be hard for us to do much.

It'll be great if we could have

Your Highness's help.

I will investigate in secret.

If anything happens,

I might still need the

Inspection Bureau's help.

After being busy for the whole day,

I finally finished my job.

Now that you're done with your job,

it's time to do something that isn't work.

What is it?

Besides investigating cases,

do you have

any other hobbies?

Does eating good food count?

What else?

Eat sugar drops.

Besides eating,

is there anything else?

Let's go to the bathhouse then.

Okay.

Today,

let's go eat something delicious,

buy sugar drops,

and take you to the bathhouse.

All expenses tonight will be

on my tab tonight.

You mean

we're going on a date–

Going to hang out together?

We're not hanging out.

I'm treating you.

Let's go.

Wait.

You're treating me?

You just said you will keep it

on your tab.

Don't tell me you want me to pay you back?

Fool.

You're the fool.

Thank you.

Have it.

I'll eat this.

- Is it sticky? - Yes.

Sugar drops!

Miss, have some drops.

I want 300 grams.

Thank you, boss.

You can't choose.

You can only take

whatever a scoop gets you.

The yellow one is so sour.

How can I eat it?

I don't want it anymore.

Jiu'er.

You bought it all.

How much did that cost?

I'm generous.

Go pick as you wish.

Oh right,

I can pick what I want.

You pick,

I'll catch it for you.

Put it here.

Give me the petals.

Which one do you want?

The bubbles are quite comfortable.

Indeed.

Milk bath

is the best.

So you like milk bath the most.

The water is cold.

Add hot water!

Stop.

I meant add hot water in there.

They didn't ask for it.

I'm telling you to add it, so just do it.

Cut the crap.

Add hot water to the female bath.

What are you doing tomorrow morning?

Do the roll call,

patrol the streets.

and organize the cases.

That's all.

I'll go with you.

What else can you do?

You are the high-end assistant I recruited

with 20 taels of silver.

Of course you have to accompany me.

You're right.

Now that you mention it,

I remember now that

you haven't paid my salary

for this month.

I...

I only have sugar drops.

Give me your hand.

Here.

Paid.

Thank you.

I'll treat you to candy.

I don't want it.a

They're already so sweet.

Jiu'er refuses to admit to it every time I ask.

I'd like to see

how long it will take you guys

to walk such a short path.

I'm home.

I'm going in then.

Okay.

I'm really leaving.

Go ahead.

Wait.

What's wrong?

Have you replenished enough health

for today?

I think I'm still short of a little.

Just right,

let's stay a little longer then.

Sure.

They're holding hands.

By the way,

I was a little drunk

when we were eating hotpot a few days ago.

Did I say any nonsense?

Why are you laughing?

You were so bold that day.

You rubbed my head

and pinched my face.

But as to what you said that day,

are you sure you want to know?

I...

What did I say?

You said

I'm a player.

I brought Heyin to fly,

ate her sugar drops

and said I was going to eat her up.

You also said

I've done everything I've done with you

with her.

How could it be?

How could I say

such a ridiculous thing?

Because...

You must be jealous.

I...

I...

Why should I be jealous because you?

Because...

Because...

You like me.

I don't.

I don't like you.

[He'an Hall]

Enough talking,

I'm going home to sleep.

I'm not done talking

I don't want to hear it.

No.

Jiu'er, listen to me.

Su Jiu'er!

I don't want to hear it. I really–

I like you.

I–

Wh-what did you say?

I...

I said

I like you.

I like you more than you like me.

Hua!

Are you alright?

Hua!

Hua, are you alright?

Mother!

Jiu'er!

Han Zheng.

Well...

The moon is so round today.

There are stars too!

Han Zaheng said he likes me.

He said he likes me.

♫ I'm only partial to you, don't let my expectations down ♫

♫ No longer pacing around, I'm used to relying on you now ♫

Why are you shouting?

How can you recover if I don't use my strength?

It's all your fault.

What are you looking at?

Look at my hands.

It hurts.

Jiu'er.

Han Zheng.

Jiu'er.

Jiu'er!

Han Zheng.

Jiu'er.

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng?

Why are you here?

You haven't answered

my question.

Jiu'er,
