=Episode 7=

How could you give away

my gift to you?

Me?

Lady He.

He has to

answer the call of nature.

Let's go over there.

Sure.

Oh, no.

Lady He will get the wrong idea.

Chen Tongxue is really my stumbling block.

So annoying!

By the way,

what did he mean?

For me?

Does he...

No.

Don't even think about it.

A man like him?

No way.

(How could you give away)

(my gift to you?)

Your Majesty.

Heavy rains have been falling in Jiangzhou area for months,

leading to the outbreak of flooding

and mass displacement.

If left untreated,

it could jeopardise the very foundation of our state.

What do

you all think

about the flood?

This flood

is intractable.

You're all talented people,

but none of you can handle it.

I have a report to make.

His Majesty

issued an edict on the flood,

calling for relief volunteers.

The Supreme Court will assist fully.

This is

a great opportunity to make a mark.

Prince Chen.

Someone from the palace is here

to pass His Majesty's decree.

By the grace of God,

His Majesty announced that

Lord Taicheng's adopted son, Chen Tongxue

is of great talent and has a great heart,

and will be appointed to control flood

with the assist of The Supreme Court.

The above order

is to be heard.

End of the decree.

I

accept the decree.

Long live

the emperor.

Please punish me.

(Oh, no.)

(Is he going to kill me?)

Could it be that...

I wrote the letter of recommendation for you

on my own initiative.

That's why His Majesty gave the decree.

(I)

(volunteered)

(for)

(the flood relief.)

(Chen Tongxue.)

I stopped you from serving the Crown Prince.

So you want to take revenge on me?

That's not it.

I...

Xuan Qiancao.

Are you sure

I won't punish you?

I...

I...

I...

I'm...

I'm sorry.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Prince Chen has been appointed for flood relief.

I can't believe

Chen Tongxue took on this hot potato.

It seems that Lord Taicheng's son wanted to make a mark.

That's why he put himself forward for the task.

The court's financial resources are limited

and the officials are often corrupt.

Not many relief supplies will be distributed

to the people.

I'll see how

he gets credit.

Mother.

If I can make it to the flooding area,

then I'll have access to the Supreme Court

and get my hands on father's archives.

Chen Tongxue

made a name in the Imperial Academy at such a young age.

You're serving a good master.

I just hope you'll drop this idea

and seek a better future for yourself.

Mother.

He is not a good master.

He is the stumbling block to my mission.

How can you say that?

Mother.

As long as I can clear father's name,

I am

willing to suffer

any hardship.

What are you doing?

I'm helping you wash up.

No, thanks.

Prince Chen.

I want to join you in the flood relief.

No.

Why?

Beg me.

I'm begging you.

Prince Chen.

Please.

You are the best.

Please bring me along.

Prince Chen.

Please.

All right,

but

you must agree to my two requests.

My first request is that

you stop

trying to leave my side.

Okay.

What about the second one?

The second one...
