Wait.

Don't you have

anything to say to me?

Well,

as you said,

I had nothing to do with Luhua's death.

Why did you run away?

I am not sure either.

Silly.

Wouldn't you be guilty

if you just fled?

You are right.

I'm a fool.

It's all right.

It's good to be dumb.

Foolishness

makes you look cute.

Tomorrow, bring me a good bow

from the treasury for the archery class.

Yes, Prince Chen.

How did you work?

You couldn't even handle a dead person.

I am sorry

for my incompetence.

Chen Tongxue has been protecting the slave.

I had a hard time.

But please rest assured.

I've found a scapegoat.

If you don't handle it properly,

you'll lose your head.

Yes, Your Highness,

(Lord Taicheng's Royal Mansion)

Shouldn't you give me an explanation

for taking my woman?

(Could he really be)

(trying to save me?)

(No.)

(No way.)

(He is)

(just a pervert.)

I can't get carried away.

My mission is to avenge father.

(Lord Taicheng's Royal Mansion)

(Lord Taicheng's Royal Mansion) I can't sleep.

(Lord Taicheng's Royal Mansion)

(Armory)

Master.

My master has ordered me to pick up

the arrows he needs for this afternoon.

These arrows are unusable.

I would be grateful

if you could replace them with new ones.

If your master needs arrows for this afternoon,

then why didn't you pick them up sooner?

I've informed you this morning.

You informed me this morning and came straight away.

Do you think this is a food market?

I'm sorry.

I am a newcomer

and I don't know the rules.

Please give me some guidance.

So

what will I get in return?

Master.

I'm just a maid.

Chen Tongxue already has many maids.

You'd be better off with me

than with him.

How dare you

touch my woman!

Please forgive me.

I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

Prince Chen.

You're so handsome

and amazing.

You are truly the nicest person in the world.

How dare you!

Let me ask you again.

Do you have any good arrows

for my master?

Yes.

I'll get them for you now.

Make it quick.

From now on,

be more careful

with my master's things.

All right.

Prince Chen.

Raise.

Draw the bow.

Release.

Your Majesty.

Pine Academy

(Emperor of Wei State) is focusing on nurturing warriors.

The most crucial aspect

is the skill of horse archery.

It was

the enemy's skill in horse archery

that caused Wei State to suffer many losses.

Yes.

How is

Chen Tongxue doing

in horse archery?

Your Majesty.

Chen Tongxue

is the most

outstanding student of Pine Academy.

He is unrivalled

among his peers

in archery

and horsemanship.

Since the founding of the Imperial Academy,

he is the only great talent in both literature and military arts.

What about the Crown Prince?

How does he compare to Chen Tongxue?

Prince Chen.

Are you all right?

Is that all you got?

What a talent.

Who picked this bow?

Please forgive me.

I got

this bow from the treasury.

What a nerve you have!

Master, please calm down.

She is my attendant.

Harming me would do her no good.

Do you mean

someone from the Imperial Academy deliberately targeted you?

That's not it.

It's just that

my attendant has a straightforward nature

and may have inadvertently

offended someone.

It's true.

I sometimes saw Chen Tongxue's attendant

checking in for things before we did.

Impossible.

Who dares to target the son of Lord Taicheng?

Still, he's only an adopted son.

He's still considered an outsider.

Why did you give me

(Imperial Palace) "Essays That Entertain the Heart"?

(Imperial Palace)

(Imperial Palace) I see

that you have been very busy with political affairs.

I can't help but worry.

The essays in this collection

are perfect for peace of mind.

It's not that easy.

This book

is a transcription, right?

You are right.

It is transcribed by my son.

Yesterday,

Chen Tongxue of Pine Academy

lost to the Crown Prince in the archery competition.

Your Majesty.

I didn't discipline him strictly

that he neglected his studies.

Please punish me.

No.

Don't worry about it.

Prince Chen

has distinctive handwriting.

It made a deep impression on me.

I

would like to meet him in person.

Summon him

to see me tomorrow.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Prince Chen Tongxue

is attending an audience with His Majesty tomorrow.

I got it.

Thank you for informing me.

Please

let me know again

if there is any news.

Chen Tongxue

came to seek an audience.
