I thought we would never meet again.

You just left all of a sudden and never came back. That's not right!

Now that you're in a fancy manor, you've forgotten the compound, haven't you?

I am here now, am I not?

Too much has happened recently.

Too much that I don't even know where to begin.

I wanted to come back every day but I wasn't able to.

I'm really sorry.

Little Bean, Little Bao, come and help us!

We've brought a lot of stuff with us. Hurry up!

Little Bean, come on!

Sister Ziwei! Sister Ziwei!

Is it true that Xiao Yanzi is now a phoenix and you're an imperial lady?

That's nonsense! What phoenix and what imperial lady?

You've brought us so much stuff.

You must have become a goddess, My Lady!

Jinsuo, what's a phoenix? What does it look like?

You've got me there.

I've never seen a phoenix, either.

A phoenix is a big, glowing bird with colorful feathers.

Does it really glow?

Does it glow like the moon?

Or is it like fireflies?

Xiao Yanzi has become a big bird now.

She even has colorful feathers on her.

What do we do then?

Can she still speak the human language?

Can she turn back to the way she was?

Of course, she can speak.

And of course, she'll return, too. Am I right?

Liu Qing, are you angry with me?

I wouldn't dare. I'm just distressed.

I know it's more than that.

You have a lot of questions and uncertainties.

Isn't that so?

Liu Qing, I swear to you.

One day, I'll tell you everything.

Now is not the time yet.

Please forgive me for not being able to share my pain.

Believe me! I'm not purposely trying to hide anything.

I just can't tell you now.

Don't be like this!

You know I cherish our friendship.

I'm not that kind of person who values riches over friendship.

The important place you hold in my heart will never vanish.

And I believe, you'll do your best to help me

whenever I need your help, don't yo?

Have you found your father?

Still not yet.

Then have you seen Xiao Yanzi?

I haven't seen her yet, either.

I believe that one day,

you'll tell me your story and Xiao Yanzi's story, too.

However, you can never make up for my loss.

What did you lose?

Forget it! Forget what I just said.

You're right on one thing. If you need help someday, I'll be there.

I won't ask things that I shouldn't be asking.

In fact, if you want me gone, I can disappear for good, too.

Liu Hong and I have already been warned.

We know to keep our mouths shut, not to ask any questions we shouldn't ask, and to mind our own business.

Unless, if you two are in trouble.

If so, we'll even go through hell to protect you.

I'll keep your words in my heart forever.

I hope you'll find your father soon

and that Xiao Yanzi enjoys life as a phoenix.

I wish you two will always be sisters.

Liu Qing, may God bless you!

I don't need that as I'm strong and tough.

Nothing will happen to me.

God should just take good care of you guys.

Come and have some buns.

- I want some! - Me, too!

Bear in mind that of all the friends you make,

Liu Hong and I will always be there.

We may be poor but we'll never betray you.

The same goes for Xiao Yanzi.

If you see her someday, tell her for me.

I can't believe there's such a stunning place like this.

It's like a paradise.

I come to this place often.

I've even given it a name, "Yoyo Valley."

It's my secret hideout.

When I was little,

I always came here when I was feeling low.

I'd appreciate water and the mountains.

I'd listen to the sound of the wind and the birds chirping.

I would spend hours here

and all my troubles would disappear.

It's not every day we get to come out,

so I couldn't help but share this place with you.

A wealthy person like you

has moments when you feel troubled, too?

Emotions are a basic human instinct.

It has nothing to do with status, so we're all but the same.

Of course, I have my troubles, too.

Do you have something on your mind?

There have been lots of things on my mind

ever since the day I met you.

That's true!

However, it seems that you're worried about something new today.

- No, I'm not! - May I ask what he talked to you about?

What?

He, who?

Liu Qing.

He said nothing. It's just that...

he's upset with Xiao Yanzi and me.

We indeed owe him some explanations.

We used to live together in the compound like a family,

but now...

we're too occupied to care about them.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have asked.

I still remember when you were chasing after Xiao Yanzi on the streets last time,

Liu Qing risked his life for you.

Knowing you have a friend like that,

I feel threatened.

What do you mean?

I don't get it.

Forget it then! You don't have to understand it.

Ziwei,

there are some words in my heart that I must tell you.

Ever since I confessed to you that day,

I've been thinking about it a lot.

The first thing I want to tell you is...

I want you!

However, my biggest difficulty now is figuring out how to make you mine.

You know, the nobel men of my age

should be married long ago.

The reason why I still haven't gotten married

is because His Majesty hasn't arranged a marriage for me.

You may not know this,

but for Ertai and me,

our marriages are not dictated by our parents

but by His Majesty alone.

As a matter of fact, around five or six years ago,

His Majesty looked highly upon me

and wanted me to marry the sixth Princess.

My parents knew this well.

They were waiting for us to grow up.

However, Her Highness fell sick and passed away.

His Majesty was deeply saddened.

Due to that, my marriage has been pushed back ever since.

I get it.

No.

You don't get it.

What I'm telling you is that

Ertai and I are His Majesty's favorites.

Because of his Majesty's affection,

even our parents

have no say in our marriage,

let alone ourselves.

I understand.

You still don't.

Ziwei, I'm telling you,

no matter if you're a princess or a commoner,

or whatever your future unfolds,

I've made up my mind.

I want to marry you!

However, His Majesty would never betroth you to me

because he doesn't even know that you exist.

This is like a bad joke God is playing on me.

There's a princess by my side

and His Majesty wants me to be the prince consort,

but I can't even tell His Majesty

to grant Ziwei to marry me.

I understand your feelings.

I understand what you're trying to say, too.

I've always wondered why you haven't gotten married.

I get it now.

I already knew that

with your rank and identity,

you would one day marry a noblewoman.

I have also told you that I've never dreamt of

staying for you,

but I couldn't help my feelings.

I've thought about this a lot recently.

The first thing I have to tell you is...

Please let me go.

What do you mean?

No matter how I think about it, we don't have a future.

An encounter that's just not meant to be is a lifelong agony.

Just let's end this!

Why won't we have a future?

What I'm telling you now is that we have a rough path ahead of us.

No matter how hard it gets, I hope you won't back down.

Please trust me! My heart will never change.

You must have faith in me.

Now, His Majesty has not betrothed anyone to me yet.

I've thought hard.

The only way is to find an opportunity before His Majesty arranges my marriage

and tell him

that I've fallen for a commoner, and seek his approval.

He would never approve! He'll be furious.

You must not tell him!

Why do you think he wouldn't approve?

If he does get angry, I'll ask

if he remembers Xia Yuhe who lived by the Daming Lake.

Please don't scare me!

You're making me panic.

I'm already worried sick for Xiao Yanzi.

Now, you're telling me such ridiculous things.

It's scaring me.

You can't do this!

His Majesty is the emperor.

He can do whatever he want but you can't.

Moreover,

he never married Xia Yuhe.

I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

I didn't think I would hurt you.

All right! Let's not talk about this today.

What matters is you know how I feel.

What is the matter?

Do you see me as a monster now?

That's not it.

It's because you mentioned my mother.

It reminds me of her last words.

She passed away

after saying those words.

What did she say?

She said,

"Ziwei, promise me!"

"Don't repeat my mistakes."

Xiao Yanzi!

Xiao Yanzi.

Have your wounds recovered? Do they still hurt?

The Nine-Poison Bruise Relief Cream I brought last time is very effective on external wounds.

Uncle Fu brought it to me from Miaojiang.

The cream is made from the poison of nine insects.

The poison counteracts the toxins in the body.

Have you used it?

Yes, I have.

That cream is very rare and valuable!

The eldest prince had asked for it before, but Prince Yongqi refused him.

Don't you leave it lying around!

Why would I do that? I used it all.

I bet you didn't use it!

You wouldn't be walking so stiffly if you did.

I have no idea what to do with you.

You're the one who is hurt and we can't apply the medicine for you.

If you were a boy, I would've held you down and applied it on you long ago.

That's enough! Aren't you the messenger? Where's the letter?

What letter?

Who sent it to me? Is it Ziwei? Let me see!

Ziwei reminded you to burn the letter after reading it. You can't keep it!

I know and I'll be careful. Just give it to me!

No!

How could Ziwei do this to me?

She knows nothing of the situation!

How should I tell her

to make her understand?

She's still angry with me!

You lied to me! You said she has forgiven me

but she hasn't forgiven me at all. She is cursing me!

She wants me to be a princess forever.

That's impossible! I'll be hounded to death.

I can't do this!

Watch out! Don't you know that you're hurt?

You should sit down gently.

The wicker chair is really hard.

You even should put a cushion over it.

I don't need you to worry about how I sit.

All right, we'll leave you be.

Just keep standing then.

Why are you so upset? What's in the letter?

- Do you understand it? - Who said I don't understand it?

She has written it clearly.

I'll explain it to you.

She said, "Xiao Yanzi, you liar! You sleazy!

Now that you've brought this upon yourself, you're locked in a cage.

You can neither fly nor move,

and even got beaten up.

You've made me so sad.

Even God has punished you for me.

This is your retribution!

You want to get out of the palace and have fun with me?

Just dream on! There's no way.

Since you want to be a princess, then I shall let you be a princess forever.

I'll let you be. I'm leaving you. Goodbye!"

Why is your explanation totally different from Ziwei's message?

I know you can't read but can you also not understand her drawings?

- Who says that's what she meant? - You've got it wrong.

Ziwei would never say any of that.

Look at this! She's indeed cursing me.

I'll translate it again for you.

She said, "Xiao Yanzi, I know that you're suffering right now.

You're locked in the palace, like being in jail.

I'm very worried, but I can't come and be with you.

When I heard that you were beaten a few days ago, I was worried to tears.

Xiao Yanzi, you must hang on. Don't get into any more trouble.

I believe we'll meet soon.

When we see each other, you'll know that I'm still fond of you as ever.

Since you're a princess now, you just have to keep being one and do it happily!

No matter where I am, I'll always happily give you my blessings."

Is that what she means? Are you sure?

Absolutely! That's exactly what she means.

I don't believe it! She's still angry with me and cursing me.

Why have you become such a pessimist? Read it again carefully!

Ever since I was beaten by Royal Father,

I've completely lost all my confidence.

However, Royal Father has stopped sending Nanny Rong to teach you.

Clearly, he still adores you.

Please take me to meet Ziwei.

Think of a way to get me out!

I'll kowtow to both of you.

What are you doing? You're a princess!

If His Majesty sees you kneeling before us like this, you'll get beaten again.

All right, I don't care anymore.

Whatever! I promise you.

Stop worrying so much.

I'll take you out.

When will that be? How about tonight?

If we discuss for too long, who knows how much longer it will get delayed for?

If Lord Fu and Lady Fu disapprove, we won't even be able to go.

Let's not tell them and just depart right away.

Let's not think so much and just depart tonight, shall we?

Let's give it our all. We'll go tonight.

We'll have Mingyue disguise as you and pretend to sleep in the bed.

If anyone asks, they'll say you took medicine and fell asleep.

As for you, you shall dress as a eunuch and openly go out with me.

Xiao Shunzi will stand guard by the palace gates and he'll open the door for us.

But even if we go out, we must be back within two hours tops. Got it?

Are you crazy? What if you get caught?

Prince Yongqi, do you want to get beaten, too?

Ertai, you should have some adventurous spirit, shouldn't you?

Worse comes to worst, they can have our measly little lives.

Yes, worse comes to worst, they can have our measly little lives.

This is so horrible! You're both out of your minds.

Xiao Yanzi is crazy. Prince Yongqi, why are you going insane, too?

Xiao Yanzi has just gotten beaten, yet none of you are scared at all?

I'm telling you, I have no choice but to...

- I have no choice but... - What will you do?

I have no choice but to play along, and go crazy with you.

Hurry and gather Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi, Mingyue, Caixia,

Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Guizi, and everyone to plan this together.

Let's hope they're reliable.

The three of us are best friends for life.

Open the gates!

- Respects to Prince Yongqi! - Respects to Second Master Fu.

Rise!

Xiao Shunzi.

- Yes, Your Highness. - Wait here.

I'll be out for a quick errand and be back soon.

- Don't close the gates and lock me out. - As you wish, Your Highness.

Your Highness, just take Xiao Shunzi along.

We'll be here to open the gates for you later.

There's no need! We have plenty of followers.

Hold on!

What's the matter?

You look unfamiliar. Where's your paiza?

This is Xiao Zhuzi from the Shu Fang Zhai Palace. You've never seen him?

We're getting medicine and it's a special order from His Majesty. Don't waste our time!

Forgive me, Your Highness! Goodbye.

I'm finally out!

Ziwei and Dear God, I've finally gotten out of this place.

I'm finally out! Thank you, God! I can finally be Xiao Yanzi again.

[Grand Secretary Manor]

Here comes Prince Yongqi!

- Greetings, Prince Yongqi! - Greetings, Second Young Master Fu!

Greetings from Fu Lun to Your Highness.

Your Highness is visiting late, is there anything urgent?

- Respects to Your Highness. - Respects to Your Highness.

Still don't want to get down?

Greetings from Xiao Guizi to Lord Fu, Lady Fu, and Young Master Fu.

Go to feed the horses and clean the carriage quickly!

- Leave us! - Yes.

Greetings from Xiao Yanzi to Lord Fu, Lady Fu, and Young Master Fu!

May you be blessed with health and a lifetime of happiness!

Princess Pearl?

Prince Yonqi, Princess Pearl, please have a seat! [Good Fortune Streaming Hall]

Leave us! We don't need servants here.

Yu'er, go and invite Miss Xia here.

Yu'er, let me go.

Xiao Guizi, stand guard by the doorway.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, please have a seat.

I'm fine. And stop calling me "Your Highness."

People who know nothing call me that all day, but you know everything.

I'll feel ashamed if you keep calling me a princess.

Don't say that!

No matter what the truth is, His Majesty conferred you as his princess.

Even if you weren't one before, you are one now.

Your noble identity is an unchangeable fact now.

Ertai, you are awfully bold!

Why didn't you inform us first?

We're so unprepared for this surprise visit.

What if there was an accident?

I also had no choice.

It was an order from Prince Yongqi and Princess Pearl.

I could only follow through.

Have things in the palace been arranged well?

Don't you worry and don't blame Ertai, either!

Everything in the palace has been sorted out.

Mingyue is lying on my bed right now.

I'm a fake princess and she's faking to be the fake princess.

Xiao Yanzi.

Has your injury recovered?

Is it safe for you to come out like this?

Is this allowed?

Ziwei!

Ziwei, please scold me and beat me!

Kick me, punch me, punish me however you want.

Just don't treat me well!

If you're still so nice, it makes me want to die.

I understood the letter you sent me.

You were injured so there was nothing else you could do.

It was out of your control.

Anyway, these mishaps were all an accident.

It's our fate.

I've learned to accept it.

I'm not angry anymore, either.

I've let go.

So, stop blaming yourself!

You don't get it! It's not just that.

Actually, I've had my fair share of chances to explain.

Yet, I didn't.

I was too afraid to say it at first.

I was so scared of getting beheaded.

Royal Father mistook me for a princess.

Yet, I didn't clarify it out of fear.

But after that, Royal Father treated me so well.

He even personally fed me medicine and water.

I've never been pampered like that before.

Moreover, he is the emperor, too.

People bow down to him whenever they see him,

yet he cared for me so much that it hurts.

I lost myself and couldn't think straight.

Ziwei, I deserve to die. I really should die!

I snatched your father from you and took your place.

He personally fed you medicine?

Yes, he did and he even talked to me humbly.

Then, Consort Ling urged me to call him Royal Father.

Before I knew, everyone knelt and shouted, "Long live Your Highness!"

I was bad! I was greedy!

I could've explained but I just couldn't bring myself to say it.

The situation then was like a holy ceremony.

Everyone was enthusiastic and shouting along.

I felt bad to ruin the mood.

I thought to myself that I'd just be a princess for a few days and then, I'd give it back to you.

I just wanted to live a few days with a father and a lush life of a princess.

Just a few days would do.

Who would've known that as time passed, things became so serious

and I fell too deep.

He personally fed you medicine?

He personally fed you medicine?

Ziwei, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

I'm kneeling before you now.

You can scold me and punish me all you want!

I swear to you, I never meant to steal your father.

I never wanted to be a princess forever.

He really fed you medicine himself?

Yes.

I so wish for him to feed my mother her medicine.

I'd die for him to personally feed me medicine.

Ziwei!

You must understand.

Xiao Yanzi was very sick at the time.

In the eyes of His Majesty, Xiao Yanzi was his long lost daughter.

That's why he adores her so much.

Although he was feeding Xiao Yanzi, he meant to feed you.

If it weren't for the fan and the painting,

they would've treated Xiao Yanzi as an assassin and executed her.

How would she have received His Majesty's love?

What am I so caught up on?

No matter who he fed,

there's one thing I know for sure.

His Majesty has a kind heart.

He didn't go back on his word.

He acknowledged my mother and his daughter.

Xiao Yanzi,

when you're in front of His Majesty, you're me.

You're loved by him on my behalf.

You're a daughter to him on my behalf.

I can feel it through you.

Get up, please. Don't keep kneeling!

Get up and let's talk nicely.

Leave me be. Let me repent!

I've made a lot of mistakes! I need to tell it to you, one by one.

Xiao Yanzi, you can't do that! We don't have much time so just tell her the main point.

The longer we stay out, the more dangerous it is.

- Get straight to the point! - How can I do that? It's such a long story.

It would take days and nights to finish.

Sit down and talk!

Anyhow, I can't actually sit. Don't worry about me!

Just let me kneel.

Even if you kneel, you can't return Ziwei's father to her.

What's the use of that?

Jinsuo, you must hate me to death.

If I say I didn't, that would be a lie.

I can't be as forgiving as Young Miss.

Ziwei, do you hate me to death, too, don't you?

No, I don't.

I don't hate you.

I really have forgiven you.

Don't you remember our oath when we became sworn sisters?

I remember all that I've said.

Your words were too profound.

I can't remember them all.

I said that

we would help each other when in need, and to share our joy together.

I also said that

no matter what our fate holds,

what challenges may come,

we will never give up on each other.

You might not understand the meaning of those words,

but it's a real oath.

Those words are beautiful.

The oath isn't fake.

Our sisterhood isn't fake.

You are my sister.

You've taken my surname.

Therefore, why should I hold anything against you?

My father is yours.

If he loves you,

then it means he loves me, too.

Ziwei, I shouldn't have impersonated you.

I'm just a nobody.

You are the true princess.

Don't you worry, he'll always be your father! I'll return him to you.

I'll go and confess to Royal Father tomorrow.

Don't worry! I'm prepared to trade my life for this.

- Your Highness, please think twice. - I've done that.

I've already thought it through several times. I must tell him!

Maybe you don't care about your own life,

but what about Prince Yongqi, Erkang, Ertai,

Lady Fu, Lord Fu, Consort Ling,

and the lives of the servants who helped you to come out today?

Get up now!

If we keep kneeling, everyone will feel uneasy.

You still have about one hour left before you must head back to the palace.

Time is precious!

Don't you want to come to my room to have a pillow talk?

May I?

Yes, of course.

- It just that... - I know! I'll get someone to guard the door.

I wanted to bring more stuff out but I just couldn't fit more in my clothes.

These are for you! They belong to you initially, anyway.

Royal Father gave me a lot of things in the palace.

If I don't get to go out, these are just useless to me.

So I've brought them to you. Take these!

Jinsuo! This is something unique.

It's a golden lock embedded with jade.

When I got this, I thought to myself,

"Doesn't this symbolize Jinsuo's name?" (TN: Jinsuo means "golden lock")

Hence, I kept it for you. Look! Isn't it unique?

I don't want it. Give it to Young Miss!

Jinsuo, don't be like that!

It took so much effort just to see Xiao Yanzi again.

We don't even know when we'll get to meet again.

Yet, you are throwing a tantrum right now.

Thank you for your gift, Princess Pearl.

Jinsuo, what do I have to do to get your forgiveness?

Does my forgiveness even matter?

I'm just a servant.

As long as Young Miss forgives you, then I don't have anything to say.

She keeps so much to herself

but all these days, she has shed more tears

than she has in her lifetime.

If she's not sad for not being able to reunite with her father,

then at least, I can feel sad for her, can't I?

I know that I was wrong! What do you want me to do?

The chair is cushioned with a thick blanket.

You should be able to sit.

Get undressed later.

There's only us. Don't feel shy!

Let me have a look at how badly you're hurt.

I still have half of the bruise cream I got from Liu Qing.

I'll help you apply some and it should help.

Jinsuo, athough you scold me,

in your heart, you still care so much about me.

I know that you two must have a lot to talk about.

I'll leave you alone, I'll brew some tea for you.

Xiao Yanzi, have a seat!

Be careful!

Xiao Yanzi, hear me out.

We don't have much time.

You must listen carefully and act as I say.

You owe me this much.

All right, I'll listen.

Listen, you must be brave and be responsible.

For what you've started, you must see it through till the end. Got it?

No, I don't!

I'm filled with regret now

and I'm not fit to be a princess.

I've agitated Royal Father, and Her Majesty, too.

Master Ji and everyone are angry with me.

I keep thinking if it were you, they would definitely all like you!

You know everything and as for me, I know nothing!

Ziwei, I'm telling you truthfully.

I really want to return you your status and I really want to be free now.

The only thing I would miss is Royal Father.

Although he hit me, I don't hate him at all.

The thought of leaving him makes me sad.

No! you shouldn't leave him.

You are already a princess now.

Don't you ever talk about returning the title to me again.

At this point, that ship has long sailed.

His Majesty already sees you as his daughter now.

He has devoted such deep love to you.

If he knows that you lied to him, how devastated and disappointed would he be?

Now that you've gotten things into this state, you can't undo it anymore.

His Majesty is my father.

After hearing you describe him,

I admire and like him even more.

If you think you've hurt me, then don't go hurting my father.

If you tell His Majesty the truth and make him sad,

I'll hate you to death and I'll really hate you then.

Xiao Yanzi, don't make any more mistakes!

I swear to you, I may be sad for not reuniting with Father

but right now, I don't hate you at all.

We'll always be sisters.

Hearing your stories in the palace,

I feel for you, too.

I'm also proud of you for challenging the rules, too.

Right now, a lot of lives are in your hands

and they're all the ones I happen to care about the most.

Like everyone in the Fu family and Prince Yongqi...

You can't hurt them!

If you do, you're hurting me once more.

In that case, you might as well just grab a knife and kill me.

Are... Are you sure?

You don't want me to tell him?

Then you'll never be a princess or reunite with your father.

I'm sure of it. Don't say a word!

As long as you try to be a good princess and make my father happy

so that those who helped us won't get into trouble,

that will make me happy.

However,...

Stop your hesitance!

I do know you're struggling to be a princess.

You're suffering.

But for me, you need to force yourself to keep going.

For you?

I don't get it!

You are silly! We've sworn an oath to Heaven and Earth.

We'll go through thick and thin together.

If you die, then I wouldn't want to live, either.

However, right now, you're a princess.

You have all the good things in life.

I'll be prosperous someday, too.

See? Didn't you bring me all that stuff?

I can even send this money to those back at the compound.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong would benefit from this, too.

Isn't that great?

Why must you put your life at risk?

Amitabha.

All benevolent Bodhisattva, please let Her Highness come back soon

so that we can live a few more years.

Amitabha.

All benevolent Bodhisattva, please let Her Highness come back soon.

Caixia, what time is it already?

Why aren't they back?

Don't get up!

Her Highness repeatedly specified that you have to lay low until she comes back.

Did you forget that?

Lie down! Stop getting up!

You're making me nervous.

I... I'm sweating all over!

How much longer do I have to lay here?

Your Highness, My Mistress, please come back soon!

Just hang in there for a bit longer!

Think of how well Her Highness treats us.

Her Highness gives us good things and good food.

Her Highness even gives us her jewelry and money when she's in a good mood.

Most importantly, Her Highness sees us as sisters.

Where would we find a nicer mistress?

Even if we have to die for her, it's worth it.

Xiao Zhuozi, Xiao Dengzi!

Are you out there?

What are you doing? Why are you shouting?

It might draw attention.

Where else could we be?

Stop talking!

Why don't we turn off the lights?

That way, if anyone comes and sees the lights out, they'd think we're all asleep,

- then they won't come in. - Good idea!

If we put out all the lights, then no one can tell that I'm an imposer.

You really are stupid!

We always keep the lights on over here.

It stays lit all night long.

If you suddenly put out the lights, wouldn't that be telling everyone there's something fishy going on here?

Come on! Let's just guard the door. Let's go!

There are a lot of lanterns coming.

Is Her Highness coming back?

Oh My Princess, if she's coming back,

why doesn't she just sneak back?

- Precisely! - What's with all the lanterns?

Wait! That doesn't seem like Her Highness.

Caixia, is Her Highness back?

Oh My God, that's His Majesty!

Here comes His Majesty!

Here comes Consort Ling!

[Shu Fang Zhai Palace]

Respects to Your Majesty.

Respects to Consort Ling.
