=Episode 2=

Ms. Qin.

Your eyes look very much like my late wife Gao Ruowei.

She suffered all her life.

I can protect the country

but not the woman I love.

What do you want?

Do you have any ideas

to help me fall asleep earlier?

I do have a solution,

but you have to promise not to get angry.

Tell me.

You promised not to get angry.

Forget about making me work overtime.

I've always been against intense internal competition.

How dare you, Chi Yuan?

You didn't greet me when seeing me.

Hello, Miss.

Kneel.

You slave, I'll punish you with ten slaps today.

Shen Xin, don't go too far.

I'll discipline you myself today.

Shen Zhaomu, you...

Shen Xin, you disrespect your brother.

I punish you to kneel here for an hour.

Don't get up.

I'm not kneeling. Why should I?

Kneel.

Just because I'm your brother.

How dare you touch my staff?

Ms. Chi, let's go.

(Has my pursuing worked?)

(Shen Zhaomu fought Shen Xin over me.)

(I'll reward you.)

Who told you to place spies around Mu?

You also spread rumors.

Yi, you accused me wrongly.

Aren't everyone around Mu

arranged by the palace?

How... How could I have placed anyone?

Is it really not you?

If I really did something,

would I be discovered?

I think someone

is trying to drive a wedge between us.

Forget it. Let's stop talking about it.

If this happens again,

I'll question you.

Yes.

Young Master Zhaomu.

Eunuch Quan, why did you

bring so many people here?

(Eunuch Quan) General hasn't been to court for days,

His Majesty is worried about him.

So I brought the imperial physician to examine him.

I see.

Please help yourself.

Mother, we have a problem.

I told you many times

that a lady should be calm.

What is it this time?

Eunuch Quan brought people

to search the whole residence under the pretext of visiting Father.

Let them search.

Yi is exceptionally skilled

in hiding people.

I'm not scared of humiliation,

but General is scared of spreading the family's dirty laundry.

Mother.

I ordered someone to poison the performer.

What a bold maid.

Arrest her.

Spare me.

Eunuch.

I'm sorry, Eunuch.

The wine is poisonous.

Take her away.

Eunuch, I'm sorry.

Are you...

Yi.

Arrest Shen Xin.

Yi.

Yi, we can discuss it.

Where are you taking Xin?

Take her to the jail.

Father.

I'm sorry.

Mother, save me.

Xin.

Ms. Qin.

You need to get well soon.

I still want to hear you play music

and watch you dance.

General.

Madam Cui suddenly fainted. She wants you to visit her.

If she's sick, go to the doctor.

Why find me?

Do I have to go over every time she faints?

Growing up,

Father never beat or scolded me,

no matter what I did wrong.

Now, he beat me for a performer.

Madam Cui.

Your father...

According to the spy,

Ms. Qin hasn't woken up.

General also keeps guards in Rose Garden

and never leaves.

I've also gotten

the portrait you need.

Please take a look.

I want to see what this performer looks like.

She made General so obsessed with her

that he forgot about court affairs and abandoned his family.

Open it.

This performer

and the late Gao Ruowei...

My position in General's heart

is worse than a deceased person.

How cruel.

Mother, don't worry.

She might look like Madam Gao,

but she's just a performer after all.

Father can't marry her formally.

Mother.

Be... Be careful.

Why don't we steal Chi Yuan's stuff

and find a guard with a similar build to hers

to assassinate the performer?

After this,

spread rumors

that it's because Zhaomu is displeased that she moved into Rose Garden.

What do you think?

Shen Xin still won't give up after receiving ten beatings from General.

She even wants to pin the murder on me.

(Dear Grandpa, I hope you are well. Please help me. Shen Xin.)

Don't worry.

I won't give Madam Cui and Shen Xin

a chance to do anything to you.

Can I trust you?

I just took the blame for you.

(To Grandpa, Minister Cui) It was an accident last time.

Send this secret letter to Minister Cui's residence.

Hurry. We'll celebrate with drinks when you get back.

(Mother, how are you in heaven?)

I have to enter the palace in the morning.

I'll leave first.

Mu.

He's getting more and more confused. Be careful.

You're a general.

Aren't you also powerless to avenge Mother?

If His Majesty intends to harm me,

can I avoid disaster

simply by being careful?

You...

(Turns out it's his mother's death anniversary tomorrow.)

(No wonder he's not in the mood to drink.)

How pitiful. I feel so sorry for him.

Shen Yi.

You're an important official,

but you hid a performer at home.

Aren't you ashamed?

(I plead Your Majesty to investigate General.)

I do have unspeakable reasons

in what Minister Cui's impeaching me for. However...

(The King) I'm not going to defend myself.

Please make a clear judgment.

Shen Yi.

Your sin is unforgivable.

Drag him out and give him 30 beatings.

I'm willing to be punished.

You...

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You...

(I've been here for half a month.)

(It seems I have to take the initiative to increase his favorability toward me.)

I hope he likes it.

Let's go.

Young Master Zhaomu, the carriage is ready to take you to the palace.

I know you don't want to enter the palace.

If you feel uncomfortable with His Majesty,

you can smell this pouch.

This pouch may be poorly made,

but the smell of mint and licorice

is soothing.

(You can leave that part out.)

I stayed up all night embroidering that for you.

Put it on for me.

Sure.

Be careful.

(Favorability: 20)

Let's go.

Young Master Zhaomu, you haven't put on the pouch.

Yi.

How did you offend His Majesty?

It breaks my heart

to see you

suffer such a heavy punishment.

What did your darling daughter do?

What did your caring father do?

How could you not know?

If I had known you were a jealous woman,

I would have put you in jail.

Yi.

What are you talking about?

Why can't I understand a word?

I already know the secret letter Shen Xin sent to Minister Cui.

You don't have to pretend.

Scram.

I don't want to see you and Xin.

Yi.

You're really heartless.

My father submitted the petition simply because he felt sorry for me.

But what did you do?

Our relationship over the past decade

is no match for that of a deceased woman.

I don't need you to teach me how to do things.

I order you to go back and have solitary confinement now.

You can't leave your room for three days.

We have a problem, General. Ms. Qin is missing.
