[How to Stay Sober in Drinking]

Quickly, all of you.

Don't keep Her Grace waiting.

- Aye.
- Aye.

Hong.

Are you having Her Grace's clothes delivered?

I'm about to take Her Grace's measurements.

I heard she wanted some customized dresses.

I've heard His Majesty adores the queen-to-be

and let her do whatever she wants.

How about this?

I'll go see her for you.

Absolutely not.

Come on.

None of you need to go.

I'll go alone.

Be very careful, then.

Rest assured.

[Yaohua Palace]
Thank you, Stewardess Qing.

My pleasure.

Your Grace, you're curvy.

Your charm is good, too.

When a man sees you,

he'll be fascinated.

Stewardess Qing,

you're wrong.

A lady is never a man's accessory.

The charm of a lady

isn't about how many men she fascinates, either.

The Beast Clan seems

to have old-school thinking.

Cool, isn't it?

Colorful, indeed.

Your Grace,

what does "cool" mean?

"Cool" means

it's simple and sexy.

Meanwhile, it's fancy.

Such a pretty dress.

We don't have this style here.

That's the style of my hometown.

Stewardess Qing,

I want to wear this tonight.

You need to have it done before dinner.

Aye, Your Grace.

My Lord,

Haitang is here.

[Su Daqiang, bloodline: scorpion, poison master]

I got some news about Qi Pa

[Haitang, bloodline: chameleon, disguise master]
and I came to tell you about it.

Speak.

Kui Mulang tolerates Qi Pa greatly.

Qi Pa, as a girl to get married,

doesn't look happy at all.

Instead, she's been trying to escape.

There must be something fishy.

Kui Mulang has the wolf's bloodline

and he can have only one wife.

He's never wanted to marry anyone before.

But now, he suddenly wants a woman

who doesn't love him at all.

It's really odd.

Haitang,

I don't care how you do it,

but you have to k*ll her as soon as you can!

Yes.

Go.

[Yuyan Shop]

I'm sure Kui Mulang insists on marrying this girl,

just to keep her closely around him.

So, My Lord,

[Xiniang, bloodline: fox, seductively charming]
you think Qi Pa has the Holy Pearl?

Except for the Holy Pearl,

I can't think of anything else.

The Beast Royal Palace
has been silent for five years

when nothing strange has happened.

My lockdown is ending soon.

I don't allow anything to go wrong over this.

So, we would rather k*ll her

than let her live.

I get it.

[Kuixing Palace]

Your Majesty.

Why are you dressed like that?

You forget yourself.

And I don't like that.

You came to me at this hour.

What for?

I've brought you something nice.

[Yam Wine]

The first cup, "Your Majesty, please let me go."

The second,

"Focus on your business instead of marriage."

And the third,

"It's good to be lonely."

I appreciate this.

Your Majesty, if you think

drinking isn't exciting enough,

how about we play a game?

I never play games.

You're the King of Beast

but you don't dare to play with a girl.

Are you scared?

I've never played on a losing side.

Good.

Then let's go rock-paper-scissors.

Shall we?

Sure.

Here we go.

Oh,

the loser will have to drink.

Accepted. Bring it on.

Let's begin.

Rock.

Rock.

Paper.

Fine.

You won the first round.

Go on?

Yes.

Rock, scissors...

Paper.

I won again.

It doesn't matter.

I conceded twice.

But not the third time.

Why is this game so simple?

One more round.

Rock, scissors...

Paper.

Sorry, Your Grace.

I didn't mean to.

To be honest,

I'm really thirsty.

Shall we continue, Your Grace?

Yes.

Rock,

scissors...

Paper.

No!

You're horrible.

Why so many Kui Mulangs?

I hate Kui Mulang.

He doesn't let me go home.

Why is he trapping me here?

You're drunk, Your Grace.

I'm not.

There's the last cup.

The...

The last cup.

And this...

"Please let me go home."

Except this,

I can promise you anything.

But not this one.

I want to go home.

What are you doing?

I... I didn't mean to hurt you.

I'm fine.

You may leave.

But you... you're hurt.

- It's...
- Back to your chamber!

Instead of getting any information,

I got myself drunk

and stabbed him.

Ridiculous.

Qi Pa stabbed me

and it got a relapse of my internal injury.

I guess I have to recuperate tonight

and make no rash moves.

Or I might go insane on this full-moon night.

A... assassin!

Kui Mulang, are you all right?

Didn't I ask you to go back to your chamber?

What are you doing here?

I want some fresh air, what's the problem?

Who knew this palace could be so dangerous

and an assassin popped out?

I'll walk you back to your chamber

and have you watched.

Leave.

Hurry.

Kui Mulang.

What's... What's wrong?

Kui...

Kui... Kui...

Anybody here?

Anybody?

Your Majesty.

You're just in time.

Get him back.

[Liu Jun, bloodline: snake]
[Naturally toxic, insulated from intimacy]

Enough.

Your Majesty,

your current condition

allows no room for more injury.

Even such a little wound

disturbed your internal force
on this full-moon night.

We'll talk about this later.

Just now in the Imperial Garden,

someone assassinated Qi Pa.

Really?

I didn't hear that.

The Imperial Garden is empty and remote.

I understand that you didn't hear.

Sit.

Qi Pa is new in town.

She can't have an enemy.

Who wants to k*ll her?

Liu Jun.

Can it be that mysterious man?

Are you saying

the man behind Jing Muhan five years ago?

I didn't see that assassin's face.

But it's a woman, according to the figure.

Whether she was sent by that man...

We don't know yet.

But now Jing Muhan is imprisoned
in the Forbidden Area,

isolated from the world.

Except for him, no one hates me

but that mysterious man.

After that fight,

Bai Ke and I led our men to search our clan

for one year but didn't find him.

We speculated

that he died from his injuries.

His body hasn't been found, anyway.

This man is rather scheming.

If he survived,

he must have been hiding somewhere.

He could make people manic

and multiply their power.

If he's really behind this assassin,

we'll have a big problem.

What's your plan, Your Majesty?

Track down the assassin first.

I hit her on the shoulder

and she must be wounded.

But if we want to find her with this,

we'll have to take a lot of trouble

and even alert her.

Liu Jun,

let's just keep this between us

before we have a careful plan.

Shall I send someone to guard Her Grace?

No.

I'll protect her in person.

Go announce this.

From this day on,

Qi Pa isn't allowed to leave the Palace.

Your Majesty, since you worry about her,

why don't you just

ground her in her chamber?

Qi Pa is outgoing.

Grounding her in her chamber would be too cruel.

Anyway, unless she's out of the Palace,

I can keep her safe.

Then when will she not be grounded?

Not until the assassin is caught.

I failed my mission.

I'm ready for my punishment, My Lord.

Did anyone see you?

I assassinated her in the Imperial Garden.

Except for Kui Mulang,

no one was disturbed.

Did you leave anything there?

No.

But Kui Mulang hit my shoulder.

That's not hard evidence.

But Kui Mulang will track down you,

sooner or later.

I guess we should think of another plan.

[Yaohua Palace]

Your Grace?

Who's there?

Your Grace,

it's me, Li Xiong.

Why aren't you properly dressed in your sleep?

You may catch a cold.

Oh, Li Xiong.

All right.

You can turn around.

You're just in time.

I have something to tell you.

You know what?

Someone here tried to k*ll me.

What?

Your Grace, are you all right?

Yes, I am.

Kui Mulang saved my life.

He said he would track down that assassin.

But I don't care, actually.

All I want is to go home.

But we can't just do nothing.

I want to run away but always fail.

I hate Kui Mulang.

He's even grounding me.

His Majesty just

worried about your safety.

But if that assassin comes again,

I'll have to die.

You won't.

I'm your guard

and I'll protect you.

Your Grace, your neck...

It's all right.

How about I apply some ointment to it?

Sure.

Does it hurt?

If it hurts, let me know.

I will.

From this angle,

Li Xiong looks handsome.

Qi Pa, you m*rder*r!

Come out!

Qi Pa, you m*rder*r!

Come out!

Go and be on trial!

Deputy Commander Hu,

[Hongxiu, bloodline: cat, fast, soft and caring]
that's nonsense.

Nonsense?

[Hu Die, bloodline: weasel, farting, competitive]

Qi Pa,

since you came here,

you've been stirring up troubles several times.

Now, someone's dying.

Even His Majesty

can't screen you anymore!

Yeah, His Majesty can't shield her.

A life for a life.

You're a m*rder*r.

Stop the noises!

Hu Die,

you're the deputy commander of Imperial Guards.

When someone's dying, it's your responsibility.

You first failed your duty

and then led them here for trouble.

You were grounded for introspection

and I suppose that's not enough.

Your...

Who are you?

In this palace, no one but His Majesty

dares to talk like that!

He's Li Xiong,

His Majesty's new personal bodyguard.

I think he made sense

and nothing is amiss.

Oh, Mister Li.

Such panache.

I'm the deputy commander.

How would I arrest someone without evidence?

All right, are you done with it?

Hu Die,

tell me what exactly happened.

Who's dying?

Still playing innocent?

I had my guards bring the evidence.

I sent for His Majesty, too.

Now, you need to see His Majesty

and explain everything.

Go, then. I'm not scared.

Li Xiong,

let's go.

Li...

I saw Mr. Li run that way.

Run?

But I...

Why are you still procrastinating?

I'm not.

Go.

Go.

Go, let's go have a look.

- Let's follow them.
- Go.

Your Majesty,

Qi Pa, the queen-to-be, m*rder*d someone

and should be ex*cuted according to the law.

m*rder*d someone?

Who?

Qi Pa,

why do you not refute her?

Because I didn't m*rder anyone.

Hu Die, Sweetie,

I understand

that jealousy makes you insane.

But you need evidence, anyway.

Who's jealous of you?

You just won't confess until the last minute, huh?

Show her the evidence!

Your Majesty,

this is Chun'er, maid of the Imperial Kitchen.

Just now, someone pushed her into the well.

[Bai Ke, bloodline: hedgehog, thorny and upright]
Just now, someone pushed her into the well.

And that was m*rder.

Your Majesty,

she fell into the well a quarter ago and fainted.

Now her pulse is so weak

that I can't keep her alive.

A quarter ago?

Exactly.

Doctor,

are you sure you can't save her?

Sorry, there's nothing I can do.

There's something you can do.

You're just not skilled enough to do that.

Let me try.

Stop.

Are you trying to k*ll her?

Hu Die,

you have a beautiful face. Please have some brains, too.

She's dying.

I don't need to push it.

Get out of the way.

Or she would really die.

You!

Hu Die,

let her save Chun'er.

What's she doing?

Will this work?

No idea.

Your Grace,

what are you doing?

This is a back-to-life skill,

to save people's life urgently.

Chun'er.

Chun'er.

She's alive. Alive.

Your Grace, you have great medical skills.

I am no compare.

Your Grace, you're brilliant.

I admire you.

Chun'er, you're fine.

It's a first aid skill from my mother's homeland.

It saves life urgently.

[Chun'er, bloodline: sparrow, pretty cook, gossipy]
What's going on?

How come so many people are here?

Chun'er,

Her Grace just saved your life.

Say thank you to her.

Her Grace?

It's you?

Why did you m*rder me?

Why would I m*rder you?

Come on.

I just saved your life, sweetie.

Chun'er,

did you see clearly?

Are you sure Her Grace tried to m*rder you?

I'm sure.

It's her.

It's really Her Grace?

All right.

If you're sure I tried to m*rder you,

tell me what happened just now.

Don't be scared, Chun'er.

I washed the clothes and was about to dry them.

Then...

It's you, Your Grace.

What are you doing here so early?

Somebody! Somebody come!

Somebody's in the well! Help!

Chun'er, don't talk nonsense.

Her Grace would never

hurt people like that.

- Yeah.
- Chun'er,

you can't talk irresponsibly.

Are you sure it was me?

m*rder*r!

Hu Die,

don't push it.

Now, I'm accused of m*rder.

I have to get this straight.

You don't actually think I accused you

because I'm jealous, do you?

Before coming to arrest you, I investigated it.

Everyone, look at this.

The maid who found Chun'er

picked this up around the well.

Your Grace, don't you find it familiar?

I saw Her Grace wear this hairpin.

It's her.

It's not me, seriously.

I lost this hairpin by accident.

Someone must have taken it.

And I don't hate her.

Why would I m*rder her?

You don't hate me, either.

Why did you hurt me?

That's because...

Because I caught you leaving the town in disguise

and I was trying to stop you.

Then you hurt me.

Maybe Chun'er accidentally caught you

doing something dirty

and you wanted to k*ll her desperately.

I didn't.

Your Majesty,

we have testimony and evidence.

Please decide

what you'll do for Chun'er.

I...

This case has many doubts.

Why was Qi Pa's hairpin

found around the crime scene?

It needs to be further investigated.

Your Majesty,

obviously, when she was murdering Chun'er,

her hairpin dropped.

If such evidence isn't convincing enough,

how can Chun'er get her justice?

It wasn't me!

A quarter ago, I was in my own chamber.

Minutes later, Mr. Li, His Majesty's bodyguard

came to me.

He can be my witness.

All right.

Get Mr. Li here

and let's confront him.

That's true.

His Majesty sent Mr. Li to Her Grace.

Yes.

Mr. Li works for His Majesty.

And His Majesty shields Her Grace.

Sorry, but I'm skeptical about the testimony

Mr. Li will give.

And in terms of evidence,

which is more convincing,

the hairpin or his testimony?

Hu Die,

you're being unreasonable.

I'm defending Chun'er's justice!

All right.

You can defend her justice.

But you have to find out the truth first.

Even if I have to,

the suspect should be put in prison.

No way.

Qi Pa is my queen-to-be.

If she's in prison before the truth is clear,

that'll be disgraceful.

You're the King we all trust.

Your calmness, decisiveness, and wisdom

are all gone in front of her, why?

Are you still the King we've been admiring?

You're losing your mind for a woman!

How daring!

Your Majesty,

Hu Die was tactless.

Please forgive her.

I wasn't tactless!

Your Majesty, if you don't put her in prison,

I'll ask Elders to come out in advance

and get justice.

Hu Die,

stop pushing it.

You're pushing it, Your Majesty.

Stop.

Put me in prison.

I'm true to myself.

When I said I didn't do that, I just didn't.

Things will become clear.

Put me in prison.

Hu Die,

you must be pleased now.

All right.

I trust my queen-to-be.

Put her in prison

until things become clear.

Aye.

It's wise of you, Your Majesty.

But this case has an ironclad evidence

and should be solved quickly.

Otherwise, let's stick to the law.

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

I'm innocent.

I'm innocent.

I'm innocent, My Lord.

Let me out.

- My Lord...
- Let me out.

Let me out.

- Let me out.
- Let me out.

My Lord.

Let me out.

Don't go.

Let me out.

- Let me out, please.
- Let me out!

- Let me out, please.
- Let me out.

- Let me out, please.
- Get in.

Get in there.

Hurry.

- Shut up!
- Silence!

c*ck?

I don't mean to disturb you.

Let's try to get along.

In this case,

I'll... I'll fight it out with you!

Don't come over!

I warn you!

How did you

offend Her Grace

and why did she try to m*rder you?

I don't know.

I haven't figured it out, either.

That day,

Her Grace was very weird,

as if she was someone else.

Mr. Li?

I'm here to see Miss Chun'er.

All right.

And you are...?

Miss Chun'er,

I'm Li, His Majesty's new bodyguard.

I'm sure Her Grace didn't hurt you.

Could you tell me what exactly happened?

Sure. Be seated, please.

Actually, I didn't understand

why that happened.

Her Grace can't do martial arts.

But that princess seemed
to have great martial arts.

I've never seen Her Grace behave like that.

The well is out there.

How about I take you for a look?

All right.

It was here.

I got some water from the well.

I lifted the bucket and turned around.

Right.

Her Grace was standing where you're now.

I wondered

why Her Grace came here.

It's you, Your Grace.

What are you doing here so early?

But instead of replying,

Her Grace punched me on the chest

and then I fell into the well.

You petty insects,

I'm not scared of you.

I'll k*ll you all,

however many there are.

Don't come over! Don't!

Stay... Stay away.

I'm wrong. I'm wrong.

Insects, please, stay right there.

Go somewhere else, will you?

I'm begging you.

Stay away.

Your Grace, what's wrong?

Is everything all right?

Li Xiong?

Where have you been?

I had a tummy ache

and I went to the toilet.

Don't blame me, Your Grace.

You just disappeared when I needed you.

You never did that back in Daxia State.

Please forgive me, Your Grace.

But nature calls me.

I failed my job

and made you suffer.

Forget it.

Now that you're here,

you must know what happened.

Your Grace,

you shouldn't have requested to come here.

You didn't know what happened.

Kui Mulang quite defended me today.

I grew up in the royal family

and I know a king

has to do many things he doesn't want.

He helped me that much

and I shouldn't let him disappoint his people.

But I never know

the prison could be this horrible.

I wish I didn't come.

Don't worry, Your Grace.

I will get you out.

I'm here to tell you a clue.

What clue?

Kui Mulang found it, actually.

But in case he may annoy his people again,

he sent me to tell you about it.

He suspects the one who tried to m*rder Chun'er

is the woman who assassinated you.

Kui Mulang is investigating it?

Some of his people have the chameleon's bloodline

and they're good at disguising.

His Majesty suspects

that's how the woman impersonated you.

Well,

go tell Kui Mulang

that I'll vindicate myself.

And tell him this.

Here in his kingdom,

I'm in prison for something I didn't do.

After I'm vindicated,

he must promise me something

as compensation.

What do you want him to promise you?

To let me go home.

Do you think that's possible?

Then, make me no longer grounded.

Look where you are, Your Grace.

Why are you still thinking about this?

I have to.

Every day, I think about how to get back home.

But when I'm grounded,

I can't even leave the Palace.

You come over.

Come, come.

You go tell Kui Mulang

that we have to do this.
