[Warm on a Cold Night]

[Episode 34]

I'm in...

Jiu'er's room?

What happened to me last night?

Didn't I go home?

What on earth...

Wait–

Jiu'er...

Last night, did I...

Impossible.

Am I dreaming?

Oh no.

No way.

Your Highness.

My hair has grown longer.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

what should I do?

Enough.

I'll find a way.

Stop crying.

Don't laugh.

I'm sorry, Keha.

I've only seen

Uncle Abu with long hair.

I didn't expect you to look like this

when you shapeshift.

I look very cool when I shapeshift,

it's nothing like that at all.

Now I look like a monkey.

In fact, it's a fat monkey.

Give me your hand.

Let my mother take a look.

How is it?

It's just your hair has grown.

Why did you have to scare me

hiding under the sheets?

I thought I–

What did you think?

Nothing.

I still want to ask...

Why Keha and I...

slept in your room?

Right, Jiu'er.

Why were you

sleeping next to me today?

You scared me this morning.

Because...

- Slow down. - I’m fine.

Jiu'er,

I'll take you home first.

I'm home.

Let's continue drinking

later.

Slowly.

We're in the room.

Sit down.

- No. - Come.

Sit down.

Your Highness.

Let me tell you.

Get out!

Get out!

I'll leave.

Jiu'er, take a seat.

Go to sleep.

But you...

You have to let go of my hand first.

Yes.

I think I haven't

replenished

your health

in a long time.

Let me replenish plenty for you

today.

The Six Treaties will be signed soon.

With that,

Qian-Qi couples

can engage legally.

We can be the first couple

with a Qian-Qi marriage certificate.

How is he so cute?

I even want to...

Your Highness.

Why don't we go home and sleep?

Let Miss Jiu'er

rest early.

Let Jiu'er sleep.

H-help him up.

I'm...

Slow down.

I'm going to sleep too.

This...

Han Zheng, you guys go back first.

- No. - He won’t let go.

No.

I have an idea.

Hurry up.

Dear Han,

let go of me.

Be good.

It hurts.

Here.

Jiu'er, why are you so fat now?

I'll leave him to you.

Got it. Go ahead.

It seems like it was effective.

Your hands are warmer than mine.

Your Highness, have a rest.

Can't you

sympathize with me?

[He'an Hall]

Open your mouth.

It seems like

everyone's symptoms

are the same.

After being poisoned,

your limbs would become uncontrollable.

You would shiver from time to time.

Then your emotions will gradually

become sensitive,

and you will eventually lose control.

In about seven days,

you will start growing hair,

and will become like this in no time.

I can't even see

my handsome face anymore.

But that's not right.

Didn't you two

get poisoned on the same day?

Right.

Why is my future son-in-law

completely fine?

I guess it's because His Highness

has a Xueqi's qualities.

In that case, Keha,

from today on,

don't go out.

No.

I can go out

if I groom myself.

You have so much hair,

how can you go out?

Jiu'er!

Han Zheng!

Jiu'er!

Han Zheng!

Tianyun.

Bad news!

The street is full of hair.

Hair?

What hair?

Why is there hair here?

Could Tianyun be talking about

the Qi men from Shuobei Dance Tavern?

Let's go!

Don't take my stuff!

Put it down.

Put it down.

Give me ice.

I want ice.

I want the fan.

What are you doing?

Give me the fan!

Give me the fan.

His Highness is here.

Qi people are rebelling!

Liu Fu! Liu Fu!

Go and have a look.

Hurry! Step back!

Step back.

Step back.

Everyone, step back!

Hurry!

Listen to me.

Back off!

Back offQ

These

are just

some Qi who didn't shave.

Isn't that Chilang who owes me money?

How dare they

shapeshift in public?

Exactly.

This is outrageous!

Everyone!

Whether they has transformed or not,

will be investigated by the Inspection Bureau.

But these Qi people

have no ill intentions.

How can they have no ill intentions?

Your Highness,

take them back to

Shuobei Dance Tavern first.

All right.

Here.

Make way.

Go back.

Here.

Lord.

Lord.

Why is it so warm

in Shuobei Dance Tavern?

Your Highness,

there's something wrong with Shuobei Dance Tavern.

We’d better leave.

All right.

Let's take them back.

Come.

He can't leave.

He owes me 20 taels.

It was 10 taels.

You...

You increased your interest rate.

It became 20 taels

in just half a month.

What about it?

It's only been a few days,

you can't even talk anymore.

Exactly.

[Shuobei Dance Tavern]

They are cheating us.

They are framing us.

You cheater!

Cheater, cheater!

Cheater!

Cheater!

Liu Fu!

Catch him!

Protect His Highness!

They cheated us.

Qi people are going crazy!

Qi people are going crazy!

Qi people are committing murder!

Beat him!

Beat him! Beat him!

Kill them!

Chase them!

Separate them!

Move!

Calm down.

Stop fighting!

Stop!

Stop fighting!

Calm down.

Stop fighting!

Stop fighting!

Back off!

Go back!

Stop fighting! Back off!

Stop fighting!

Back off!

Han Zheng!

You have to be calm.

Keha!

Qi people are hurting people!

Qi people are hurting people!

Step back.

- Stop fighting! - Cover your nose.

Get out of our Jiuxiao City!

Fight with them!

General.

What's wrong with them?

It's nothing.

They'll be fine after a sleep.

General is indeed amazing.

This is the one who put the cat out just now.

Look at the emblem on his hand.

He's indeed from Snow Chamber.

What happened?

Inspector Yue,

the Qi people want to destroy Jiuxiao City

and wants to kill us!

Yes, Inspector Yue.

It's so scary!

The Qi people has gone crazy!

Inspector, they didn't go crazy,

this is their nature.

I treated you so well normally,

- how could you destroy my Jiuxiao City? - Exactly.

Inspector Yue,

you have to help us.

What if they kill us?

Inspector Yue,

please help us!

Inspector Yue,

you have to help us/

Be softer.

Don't wake them up.

They're fierce.

They didn't go crazy.

They were poisoned.

If they weren't provoked,

they wouldn't be like this.

Your Highness,

what poison is this?

I've never seen it before.

There is such a poison.

We have the antidote.

We can prove it to you right away.

Keha.

Keha!

He's awake.

He's awake.

Keha!

Keha!

Your Highness!

Isn't this a prison cell?

Cut the crap.

Take the antidote first.

Here.

Okay.

Come on.

Okay.

Okay.

H-how do you feel?

It feels like like there's a surge of power

coming up.

I-I feel like I'm going back to normal.

Great!

Amazing, Mother!

Okay, be good.

Control yourself.

Understand?

It's only a few hours.

Control yourself.

Sit here.

Why are you...

Yes.

Dr. Qin,

I'm too tired.

Why does your medicine

doesn't seem to work.

Mother,

when will this medicine take effect?

It should be

immediate.

But why is he

still jumping around here?

You're so disobedient.

Why is he still like this now?

Maybe the poison has been mutated by someone.

Although the symptoms are the same,

but only the person

who poisoned them know the antidote.

Stop moving.

I think you should just give up.

They don't look like they've been poisoned,

they've obviously shapeshifted.

Find a way

to get them to shapeshift back.

Otherwise, if we lock them up,

we can do nothing to them.

Commander.

Enough.

Stop this futile attempt.

Just let them go.

Release–

Commander Yan.

the Law Department has agreed to release them?

Not only that,

you have to also make sure that every single one of them is released.

You guys

better find a way soon.

Sir,

what do you mean?

We just received an order

from the Law Department,

saying that after His Majesty heard about what happened today,

he feels that the Qian and the Qi

have been in conflict for a long time.

There are many issues.

Now the city has changed a lot.

So in order to protect

Qian people's life,

he decides

to have all Qi people

leave Jiuxiao City

within seven days.

- What? - What?

How is that possible?

How could Father

give such an order?

You really have no idea?

As they were creating chaos in Shuobei Dance Tavern.

incidents have occurred in dozens of places

in Jiuxiao City.

The whole Jiuxiao City

is in a turmoil because of the Qi people.

That's enough, Jiu'er.

Let me do it.

Don't worry, Uncle Bu,

you'll be fine soon.

Go out and rest.

Let me do it.

Go.

Where's Han Zheng?

Mother, I'm scared.

But those people have nowhere to go.

We can't go out to play any more.

Who knows if they will

charge at us and hurt us?

Come on.

Help me carry them.

Okay.

Be careful.

How can I live?

So many of my goods

are all gone.

Boss, three buns please.

I won't sell them to anyone

but the Qi.

Leave.

How dare he steal from you?

Are you okay?

Scram!

Get out of Jiuxiao City!

Scram!

Get lost!

Scram!

Get out!

Get out of Jiuxiao City!

How dare you still stay here?

Get out!

Scram!

Get out!

It's all your fault.

You're not welcome here.

Get out of Jiuxiao City.

You're not welcome here!

Get out!

Get out of Jiuxiao City!

You're causing turmoil to Jiuxiao City!

Get lost!

Get lost!

Stop causing us harm!

Get lost!

Jiuxiao City doesn't need you.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Scram!

Get out of Jiuxiao City!

Get out of here!

Get lost!

Don't come again.

Han Zheng.

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng!

Han Zheng,

calm down.

This

wasn't just an accident.

Someone took the chance as we were not prepared

to deliberately drive the Qi people in Shuobei Dance Tavern

onto the street.

When you were moving them back,

I went to take a look at Shuobei Dance Tavern.

I remember these things.

It should be

what was used to put ice cubes to cool down

Shuobei Dance Tavern.

But the people of Show Chamber

swapped them for kindled charcoal

when we weren't looking.

This made Shuobei Dance Tavern

too hot.

They couldn't stand it

so they fled onto the street.

That's right.

It was my negligence.

Although I sent people

to lock the hidden doors in Shuobei Dance Tavern,

I didn’t expect

they could think of this way

to let Qi people run out by themselves.

It was at wrong too.

I always thought

poisoning is the last card

Snow Chamber would play.

I didn't expect they

planned so much.

All just to

to kick Qi people out of Jiuxiao City.

Don't blame yourselves.

The Snow Chamber used such a strange poison

to make us

let our guard down.

If the poison doesn't take effect,

it'll be hard for us to find out

what they want to do either.

But I think

something is amiss.

They have made

such a powerful poison

but it's only used to chase out Qi people.

It seems

like the motivation and results don't match.

You mean...

They are poisoning people anyway,

they could have poisoned Qi people to death,

but Snow Chamber is only using it

to chase them out

so It's strange.

That's right.

Maybe

they don't want to offend the State of Qi

on the surface.

But isn't it offending the State of Qi

if they're chasing them out?

Bad news!

Bad news!

What's wrong, Mother?

It's bad!

Come and help me.

Quick!

Come on.

This way.

Hurry. Here.

Mother.

What happened to Uncle Bu?

I thought

he's sleeping so sloudly

because he inhaled the sleeping powder

Chilan and I gave him.

But when I checked his pulse,

I found his pulse was very weak.

He seems like he's sleeping,

but it also seems like he's on the brink of death.

That makes sense.

The evil Snow Chamber

wants to kill them all?

Mother, have you found the antidote?

But don't worry.

I'll do my best to give him acupuncture.

It can buy us some time.

If we can find the antidote

before they are exhausted,

they might not die.

That's right.

Father's edict

is about seven days.

If we find the antidote in seven days

and find the truth

to prove

Qi people were framed,

then the Qi race

won't be kicked out.

Every time Marquis Xian meets

an important figure,

he wouldn't let us follow him.

Who is it?

Administer Deng.

Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack,

we should find another way.

To find the person who poisoned them

to get the antidote.

My Lord,

the situation in the city

is exactly what you expected.

We need more people in the city.

Don't let your guard down.

We must protect

the safety of the people.

Yes.

Lord!

Lord!

Lord!

Lord!

You...

Go.

Are you sure they've passed out?

Did they recognize us just now?

Look at how Keha looks like.

How could he recogize him?

I have

just never been against

such a powerful evil force.

I'm a little scared.

You got me to put on a saving a damsel in distress show

but you got me a

greasy old man–

Keep your voice down.

Don't wake him up.

Good for you, Su Jiu'er!

Hua!

You're a good talker.

It's a pity

if you don't talk me more.

Right?

And you're not a familiar face.

If our show

doesn't work on him,

what should we do?

Don't worry,

it's a classic

for a good reason.

All right, go now.

Do your best.

Don't be nervous.

Go. Go.

Let's go.

Jun,

go over there with me.

What are you doing?

Don't move.

That's enough.

Go.

Wake up, old man!

They're coming.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

They are coming.

Hurry up!

They're coming!

- What’s going on? - Run!

Where am I?

We are in the middle of escaping!

Faster.

Faster.

If you keep talking

- you will die! - Faster!

Let's go!

I'm not going.

- Let's go! - No!

Oh no.

I'm so stupid. Why should I save you?

They found me.

Who?

Who?

Idiot.

Who else is causing all the

unrest in the city.

Are you leaving or not?

No!

Die yourself then. I'm leaving.

You...

Okay.

It's Han Zheng's turn.

How dare these Qi people

cause such chaos in Jiuxiao City?

I must–

Guard Yuan,

where are you?

Help!

Guard Yuan!

Where are you?

Guard Yuan!

Your voice

is so bright.

I haven't had enough fun yet.

Keha.

Keha!

Hurry up!

It's your turn. Go.

Let's go.

Don't dawdle. Go.

Coming.

Hurry.

I'm starting.

Don't scare me.

I'm someone useful.

Who are you?

I am the Administer!

Such a poor acting.

If you need anything,

just tell me.

You are the Administer?

I hate the Administer the most!

Why do you hate me?

I...

I don't even know you.

Snow Chamber

is so despicable.

What Chamber?

The antidote.

Sci-

Scissors?

You poisoned us!

Antidote!

Antidote?

What antidote are you talking about?

I didn't poison anyone.

You're still hiding it?

I'm not!

Give it to me.

I don't have the antidote.

This...

Is he pretending?

I don't think so.

Administer Deng has always been

straight forward in the court.

Why is he denying it now?

Could he... really not know?

Hurry up!

Why is there a cat?

So, Qi people are afraid of cats.

Kitty?

Scare him.

Are you okay, Han Zheng?

Scare him.

Oh no!

Keha.

The show is over.

Calm down.

Keha!

Wake up!

What?

I'm saving you.

If I didn't do anything,

you'd have lost control.

Han Zheng,

are you alright?

Your Highness.

It's all that cat's fault.

Did I ruin everything

again?

Did you get him to speak?

I did.

But,

it's different

from what we imagined.

What's it?

We might have been tricked.

He's not from the Snow Chamber.

Someone ordered Shopkeeper Li

to mention Administer Deng

before he died.

Then this person...

Can only be one person.

If Administer Deng is

the head of Snow Chamber,

he must know

the characteristics of this poison.

To scare Keha with a cat

is basically suicide.

You're right.

What Administer Deng said is true then.

He doesn't know about Snow Chamber

nor the antidote.

Right, Your Highness?

Then Jiu'er,

why are you still so calm?

We lost our clue.

We don't know

what went wrong either.

We only have six days left.

By then,

what would the Qi people of Jiuxiao City do?

What would happen to Jiuxiao City?

I think if you don't remind him,

he wouldn't know.

If Administer Deng is innocent,

then the person

who misled us

is very suspicious.

But this man...

is his most respected brother.

Tell him.

Keha.

Go get some rest.

Jun.

Actually, the clue

is still there.

Really?

Tell me then.

We're not sure yet.

But listen carefully.

And please stay calm.

It's a big deal.

How can I stay calm?

Tell me.

We haven't

found any evidence yet.

It's just a theory.

Think about it.

After Marquis Xian died,

who led us

towards Administer Deng?

Shopkeeper Li.

But I don't know

why he lied.

Think about it deeper.

Marquis Xian was killed

must be because

there's someone with more power behind him

who is in charge of Snow Chamber.

Then would Shopkeeper Li

have such an identity?

Shopkeeper Li lays low.

He's just someone who runs errands.

Given his ability,

he won't be able to set up such a big trap.

If he had lied,

he must have been instigated by someone.

But he is interrogated by

my brother personally.

It's impossible.

Could it be you suspect my elder brother?

How is that possible?

Impossible.

I've been by his side for so many years.

I saw him every day.

He would never be

a member of Snow Chamber.

What's wrong with you two?

You're suspecting people around you

without any evidence.

It's not that they have no evidence.

The Crown Prince is just too cunning.

General.

Is everything done?

We were quick.

They thought Administer Deng lost his way

and have yet reported it yet.

I left Administer Deng

at the entrance of his residence

and fed him medicine.

Even if he wakes up,

he won't know

what happened today.

In this way,

we won't alert them.

Alert them?

You think you'd alert my brother?

Your Highness,

to be honest,

I just went to

the Law Department on my way just now.

You went to see Shopkeeper Li?

Did he say something again?

He lied before.

He might still be lying this time.

He didn't lie.

He's dead.

Dead?

Why hasn't the Inspection Bureau

heard anything about this?

The Inspection Bureau is but a subordinate of the Law Department.

It's not difficult if they want to hide something

from us.

Maybe it's because

he wants to die,

right?

Perhaps,

when Shopkeeper Li was sentenced

to be exiled to the far north,

he had already hung himself in the poison

to commit suicide before he was exiled.

But report lacks details.

It was deliberately kept from the Inspection Bureau,

and as the chief judge of this case,

and also our close friend, the Crown Prince

has never informed us of this.

There are various signs.

I can't find

a reason to defend him.

Impossible.

Even so, it can't be my elder brother.

He must have been framed.

You must be mistaken.

Chilan won't make

speculations without evidence.

She must have found something else.

The report is not clear.

He has been dead for so long

and the body has been missing.

So I went to the prison.

Shopkeeper Li's cell has been cleaned.

There is indeed markings made from

something heavy hanging from

the wooden fence

as written in the report.

The scent in the prison cell

was deliberately cleaned.

I can't smell anything that's obviously wrong.

But I found some clues

with my own ways.

Have a look.

What is this?

This is a small scratch

by the bed that'd be easily overlooked.

But us Chiqi Tribe

know a lot about craftsmanship

and scratches.

I noticed

this scratch is unlike the other scratches in its surroundings.

It should be newly made.

I know this.

New scratches

will cover the old scratches.

That's how you determine what's newer.

Yes.

And based on my experience,

these are the scratches caused by

nails scratching on it.

With this,

I followed the clues

and used something new us Chiqi Tribe

recently came up with.

The blood in the gap caused by the scratch

is the same as Shopkeeper Li's scent.

A small drop of blood on the bed frame.

Could there be a

possibility that Shopkeeper Li

accidentally hurt himself?

It doesn't mean anything.

Of course there's something else.

Shopkeeper Li is 181cm tall.

If he sat by the wall,

his head will be in the pool of blood,

and his hand would naturally be drooping,

covering this

pattern.

I suspect the injury was inflicted on him by someone.

His head was injured.

While he was dying,

he knew he couldn't save himself,

so he used this method

to leave a clue.

Shopkeeper Li likes stories.

He's been like this

since the Painting Case.

He's planned so many cases,

so,

he must be trying to deliver

an important information

so that we can know

who the murderer is.

What does this pattern

mean?

I'm guessing he was trying to say that

it was Ah Qi who killed him.

How did you know that?

Because it means

- is– - Is seven.

Exactly.

Shopkeeper Li uses the abacus a lot.

One bead on top

and two below

means seven on the abacus.

I still remember

he once told me...

Seven times seven equals to 49.

Inspector Su,

your name is very special.

Jiu'er, Jiu'er,

nine two, nine two.

I can hide you

in the abacus

so easily.

Nine two, nine two.

This Crown Prince

is hiding so well.

If it weren't for

these details,

we may never

find traces of him.

But these evidences are not enough.

It only shows that

the master and servant are very suspicious.

Unless Shopkeeper Li's body

matches these information.

But too long has passed,

the body has gone missing.

You're right, Jiu'er.

Father won't believe that

Elder Brother plotted everything

and poisoned Qi people.

Much less asking him to withdraw his edict.

But Jun,

what about you?

I...

I don't know.

I'm a little tired.

I'll go back first.

Don't worry.

He will figure it out himself.

It's late now.

Let me send you home.

So,

what should we do next?

Let's take a rest first.

We need further consideration.

Your Highness.

It's late.

I can't sleep.

Your Highness,

did something sad happen today?

Liu Fu.

I...

I can't tell you.

Your Highness,

no matter what happens,

don't make it hard for yourself

or doubt yourself.

Trust your own eyes.

Why do you say that?

I've served you for so many years.

I know what you care about the most.

You only want to protect

the person you cherish the most.

What if

I have made a misjudgement about someone?

How could you make a misjudgement?

Why not?

Back then, I was wronged

in the inner court.

It was you who trusted me

and cleared my name

so I am who I am today.

As the saying goes,

people use their eyes to judge people,

and the inspectors use truth to judge people.

But I think

they are not as good as you.

Your Highness,

you use sincerity to judge people.

What you said

makes sense.

Your Highness, have you understood?

No.

But,

you're right.

You can't fool people with hypocrisy.

I know him the most

in this world.

I want to prove this innocence

to my friends.

Or

find his reasons.

Yes.

I can't run away.

I must help him.

Liu Fu.

Check something for me tomorrow.

Remember,

be very careful.

I will help you.

Isn't Qiwei Restaurant closed down?

Why do I smell

Qiwei Restaurant's

yellow wine beef

and Jiu'er favorite,

Deyue Restaurant's meat bun

from your lunch box?

That's what you should do.

I won't fight for it.

As for Qixiang Restaurnt,

although the shop is closed,

it's easy

to find a cook.

I made this bowl

for you.

This is for Jiu'er.

This is for me?

Yes.

Didn't you prepare one

for me too?

Then let's

eat together when Jiu'er's here.

Jun.

You... You're here.

What are you talking about?

Aren't we partners?

It's the rule to pick you up in the morning.

Besides,

how could you do this without me?

What's wrong?

Everyone is here.

Yes.

We can't do this with anyone here missing.

Come on, General.

Let's eat together.

Here.
