[Episode 22]

Your Majesty.

How's it going?

Is she angry?

Your Majesty,

I can't tell if Her Highness is angry.

But she asked the newly recruited girls

to leave the Palace.

This is good.

However, Haitang

played the zither in my chamber all day.

Rumors went all around the Palace.

Did Qi Pa not react at all?

No, I'm afraid.

Didn't you say it would definitely work?

Maybe rumors aren't going widely enough

to reach Her Highness's ears.

Be patient, Your Majesty.

Let's wait and see.

Your Majesty,

it's getting dark.

In the Royal Palace,

Liu Jun is subservient to no one,

but the three Elders,

and Kui Mulang.

That night, I saw

Kui Mulang's hooded face.

That wasn't Li Xiong's face.

But in the ball game,

Li Xiong made me

feel somehow familiar.

What's all this about?

Kui Mulang,

what other secrets are you keeping?

Your Majesty.

What have you got?

I...

Say it.

Hongxiu told me

Her Highness was going to sleep.

Going to sleep?

Did she not feel anxious, make a scene,

or want to question me?

My plan failed.

I'm ready for punishment, Your Majesty.

Forget it.

Go ask Haitang

to leave my chamber immediately.

And get my queen here.

I'll ask her in person

how she feels about this.

Aye.

Miss Haitang,

His Majesty said you may leave.

But...

But right here, I've been

playing the zither the whole day,

expecting to see His Majesty.

Where's His Majesty?

His Majesty is usually busy

with political affairs.

You can't see him just as you wish.

But I've stayed here,

playing the zither the whole day.

Say no more.

This is an order from His Majesty

and you mustn't disobey it.

Leave, please.

Your Highness.

Your...

Your Highness,

His Majesty asked to see you.

I'm not going. I'm not.

Where's Kui Mulang?

In his chamber.

His Majesty is waiting for you.

Shouldn't he be enjoying the music

Haitang is playing?

This is awful.

I could have got some good sleep.

Why does he need me now?

No sound of music can be heard anymore.

Why do I have a bad feeling?

Your Majesty,

Her Highness is here.

Don't you have anything to ask me?

Where is Miss Haitang?

I heard she hit it off

with you, Your Majesty.

She was played the zither day and night

and you two had a great time together.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Congratulations?

Is this how you feel?

Your Majesty, you and Haitang like each other

and that's good.

I don't like her!

Rumors can't come out of nowhere.

Your Majesty, you can't just deny it?

Now that you're in love with Haitang,

you no longer need me, do you?

Are you so eager to leave me?

We're just friends.

Now that you get intimate with Haitang,

you should give her something.

Stop being entangled with me.

After all, I've...

Enough!

Stop doing anything ridiculous.

Before the three months is over,

I will not let you go.

But... Fine.

Your...

Your Highness,

why are you sulking?

Did you quarrel with His Majesty?

Only he's sulking.

Now, he has Haitang.

But he's still that bossy.

Your Highness,

this is what I think.

You forced His Majesty to have Haitang.

Then, you shouldn't say,

"Now, he has Haitang."

His Majesty loves you.

How could he fall in love

with someone else?

You're so young

that you can't understand many things.

I'm getting some sleep.

Your Highness,

His Majesty really cares about you.

Why can you always

read our minds,

but misunderstand His Majesty,

instead of seeing his true heart?

This ointment works wonders.

Your hands won't be defunct.

He made me play the zither the whole day!

Kui Mulang is

even crueler than ladies
in the ill*gal music house.

When I recover, I...

I won't let him...

I told you.

You can't seduce Kui Mulang with charm.

He's stone-hearted.

He's so loyal

to Qi Pa.

I can't approach him at all.

Looks like Qi Pa is the weak link.

Actually, I've been confused

about something.

Do you think

Li Xiong is very weird?

You also felt that, huh?

He's very close to Qi Pa, I think.

Do you think they're...?

No.

I think they have something

more than an affair.

I've been observing Li Xiong for a long time.

In some cases,
he looks a lot like Kui Mulang.

But of course,

I was only guessing.

So, I need to confirm something.

I went through all books of our clan.

He's sometimes half human and half beast

because his internal force declines.

So, I think

I have to badly hurt him again.

When he's losing too much internal force,

he will show himself.

I have an idea.

Why is it you again?

What do you want?

Lan'er.

Lan'er.

Lan'er, Lan'er!

Mother.

Lan'er!

Mother!

- Lan'er!
- Mother!

Mother!

What are you doing?

Let go of my mother!

- Lan'er!
- Mother!

Leave with me and I'll let her go.

We have our own life to live.

I'm begging you.

Let go of us. Please.

You think after you dumped this,

you could escape from the past?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I beg you. Let us go!

I'm begging you.

Let go of us.

He,

when you grew up,

I gave you this sword as a present.

You loved it.

Later, you k*lled many people with it.

Among all the K*llers,

you were the best.

I didn't! Nonsense!

However...

He was strong.

You couldn't k*ll him.

So, with the best you could do,

you became the Deputy Commander
and stayed by his side under cover.

I didn't.

Five years ago, you got to know

he took back the Holy Pearl alone.

Then we decided to ambush him.

We almost won.

No, no!

But at the critical moment,
you lost your mind

and all our effort was wasted.

No. I didn't!

He,

I can give you a chance

to do the right thing.

But for you, I need to clear

some unnecessary obstacles.

Don't!

I'm begging you!

Please let go of my mother!

I'm begging you!

I won't k*ll her.

You will.

- Lan'er!
- Mother!

He,

based on the intel you offered,

Jing Muhan and I arranged the ambush.

Remember your mission.

If Jing Muhan fails,

you should rush out

and attack him, unprepared.

Try to k*ll him within one move.

You have to succeed, anyway.

Did you hear me?

Yes, Father.

k*ll him!

Just because you showed some mercy,

my effort over so many years was wasted.

You know what?

I've been suffering from

the internal injuries caused
by his wolf howl.

I had to lie low for five years!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Back then,

I could see that you flipped over Kui Mulang.

But luckily, he was indifferent to you.

So, I thought you wouldn't be silly.

I didn't expect you to be that insane!

Right before we could succeed!

Will you make a dumb mistake again?

Father, I'm sorry

that I ruined your great plan.

[Su He, bloodline: scorpion,
willing to be used, lovesick]

I won't make a mistake again.

What do you think?

I look exactly like him, don't I?

You're really good at impersonation.

When I see this face,

I hate you already.

I love you that much.

My queen,

you can't hate me.

Good.

Your Highness.

Li Xiong, what are you doing here?

In two hours, I'll see you in the Forest.

What for? Sounds mysterious.

Be there and you'll know.

I should go.

Can it be another surprise?

Your Highness,

why did Mr. Li leave so soon?

Nothing.

By the way,

I'm going out in two hours.

Where are you going?

Let me go with you.

Don't bother.

When I leave,

you don't need to follow.

Mr. Li must have

asked Her Highness out again.

[Yaohua Palace]

Your Highness.

Mr. Li?

Why are you here?

Hongxiu,

did you see Her Highness?

Her Highness went out to see you.

Wh... When?

A few moments ago, you visited Her Highness.

Then, she went out.

Oh, no.

What's going on here?

Come take a look.

Li Xiong?

Li Xiong!

Why did you suddenly get me here?

To surprise me?

Guess.

Li Xiong, why?

Your Highness, you're so devoted to Mr. Li.

When "he" asked you to come, you came.

So, you're the assassin
who can do impersonation.

Yes, it's me.

But too bad, Your Highness.

It's too late.

Now that you're here,

you can no longer serve

as the bait.

Don't move!

Li Xiong, Li Xiong...

Mr. Li, there you are, at last.

It's you.

Who's behind you?

I should ask the same thing.

You're a mere guard,

but you have such great martial arts.

Since when did Kui Mulang

have this powerful guard?

Let go of her first.

You do great martial arts, Mr. Li.

If I let her go,

I'll be in danger.

Want me to k*ll her, huh?

Then come over.

Don't hurt her.

Keep her alive

and I can do anything for you.

Good.

I'd like to see

how much you can do for her.

No!

Li Xiong!

No!

Li Xiong, don't.

Are you all right?

Qi Pa.

Qi Pa.

Oh, I see.

Silly girl,

why did you protect me?

Haitang, hang in there.

I failed again.

Stop. Stop saying anything.

Let me treat your wound first.

Haitang.

Haitang! Haitang!

Doctor, how's Her Highness?

Her Highness is lucky.

The needle is poisonous,

but the poison didn't get

into her bones or organs.

So, it's not life-threatening.

When will Her Highness wake up?

The poison in her meridians

may lead to other problems.

It's hard to tell when Her Highness
can wake up.

I'll give you some prescriptions.

Feed Her Highness regularly

and we'll see.

I'll take my leave.

How did this happen?

Where's Mr. Li?

He was with Her Highness, wasn't he?

He was also badly wounded.

With his last bit of strength,

he sent Her Highness to His Majesty's chamber

before he passed out.

Is Mr. Li all right, then?

Hope he'll be all right.

I'll go check on him.

You take care of Her Highness.

All right. Off you go.

I'll take good care of Her Highness.

Li Xiong.

Your Highness, you're awake.

Come on. Get up.

Careful.

This is great.

Where's Li Xiong?

Mr. Liu Jun is taking care of him.

Don't worry too much, Your Highness.

What on earth happened to you?

Hongxiu,

why is the light off?

So dark.

What are you talking about, Your Highness?

The light is on.

Hongxiu.

Your Highness,

your eyes...

Relax, Your Highness.

And don't go anywhere.

I'll go get the doctor immediately.

Your Royal Highness.

I've got the medicine back.

Decoct it.

Aye.

Don't worry.

Your vitals are good.

In the Forest, I kind of saw

Li Xiong turned into another man.

Did I see it wrong?

No.

Right in front of us,

Li Xiong transformed into Kui Mulang.

So,

that's what Kui Mulang really is.

My injury is worth it, then.

What are you gonna do?

I've been resting in the past five years.

And I finally worked out

a more powerful drug.

I planned to take action in person

after I recovered.

But thank goodness,

you survived.

He,

I'll get you back to Kui Mulang.

You must hold firm control of him

and help me take over this kingdom.

But Father, I...

You can't be still loving him, can you?

For him, you betrayed me

and fell off the cliff.

And now,

he has a queen.

He completely forgot

how you helped him!

He has a queen?

When we ambushed him,

he defeated us.

But he was badly wounded, too.

If he had the Holy Pearl,

no one could hurt him, I'm afraid.

So, I guess

he hadn't got the Holy Pearl at that time.

But out of nowhere,

he got a queen.

She must have something to do
with the Holy Pearl.

He doted on this woman.

He even offended all the Elders

and gave her everything she wanted
with a national effort.

Stop!

He,

this kind of man doesn't deserve your love.

You should take advantage of his gratitude

to take his wife's place.

It's time

to get back what he owes you.

He,

I'll let go of your old mistakes.

Do as you're told

and we'll stand a chance to succeed.

I'll give you what you want, Father.

Qi Pa.

Your Majesty,

be careful.

The poisons were just removed.

You're too weak to struggle.

What about Qi Pa?

How's she now?

Say something.

Her Highness woke up.

But the doctor just reported

that Her Highness

couldn't see anything.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Highness.

Your Highness, you're awake.

Get up.

Why?

Why am I still blind?

How come?

Your Highness.

Li Xiong.

Where is he?

Be patient, Your Highness.

I'm here for you.

The doctor has gone to inform His Majesty.

I don't want Kui Mulang!

I want Li Xiong!

Your Highness, be careful.

Your Highness.

Who's that?

Qi Pa.

It's me, Li Xiong.

Hongxiu,

the doctor wanted to see you

and give you some instructions.

But Her Highness...

Don't worry. I'll be guarding here.

Li Xiong, are you all right?

Yes.

I'm fine.

I'm good and I'm not hurt.

But I...

I'm blind.

I'm a little bit scared.

Don't be scared, Qi Pa.

I'll find a way to cure you.

Do not fear.

But what if...

What if

I can never be cured?

That's not gonna happen.

Qi Pa,

trust me.

I'll have your eyes cured.

You're wounded

and the toxins were just removed.

You have to take care of your health.

Just some flesh wounds.

But you're losing your internal force.

You'll fail to cover it sooner or later.

What did the doctor say

about Qi Pa's eyes?

She said Her Highness's neck
was pierced by a poisonous needle

and the poison pricked the meridians
of her eyes.

The doctor would make prescriptions

for Her Highness's regular treatment.

Her Highness would recover in a few days.

Can she be sure?

Yes.

Liu Jun,

go give the order.

Haitang is wanted throughout the city.

Whoever catches her will get a big reward.

Your Majesty, did she...

Yes.

She's the assassin

who has the chameleon bloodline.

Stewardess Qing, Qi Pa, and Chun'er

were all impersonated by her.

This time, she even dared to impersonate me

and hurt Qi Pa that badly.

I won't let her go!

In this case,

she tried hard to get
into the Performance Class

and she must be up to something.

Yes, of course.

What's more,

when Bai Ke was investigating the case,

he found that Jing Muhan wasn't
in his chamber.

This can't be a coincidence.

Haitang lay low in the Palace for many years.

She's very likely to be
the mysterious man's minion.

The mysterious man and Jing Muhan

can be inseparable.

As far as I see,

Jing Muhan must be involved in this case.

Your Majesty,

shall we take him down now?

No.

We don't have hard evidence, after all.

If anything goes wrong,

he can't get away with it.

Give me the orders, Your Majesty.

Send Bai Ke to keep a close eye on Jing Muhan

and people in his chamber.

If they leave the Palace,

follow them closely

and see if they meet anyone secretly.

Aye.

And Liu Jun...

Get Qi Pa to my chamber.

I'll take care of her personally.

I wonder

if I can ask you something.

Go ahead.

During this period,

how will you get along with Her Highness?

If you take care of her as the king...

It's not time to think about this.

Now, I only expect

that Qi Pa can recover soon.

Go buy everything

on this list.

[Prescription]
When the time is right,

I'll check on Miss Haitang personally.

Aye.

Your Royal Highness,

I think

if you check on her now,

she'll recover sooner.

You think I don't want to go?

The Palace is heavily guarded

and I can't just go out like that.

Buy everything back first.

I'll think about what to do next.

Aye.

[Luhua Gate]

Where are you going?

Ms. Haonan, for your information,

I'm going shopping for His Royal Highness.

Go ahead, then.
