You're awake.

Do last night's words still count?

You're not afraid of me anymore?

Why should I be afraid of you?

Last time in the dungeon,
you pushed me away.

Wasn't it because
you were scared of me then?

Oh please.

I knew exactly what kind of person
you were when we first met.

Why would I be scared of you?

Then why did you push me away

and leave without saying a word?

Come on, Boss, get it straight.

I'm just a girl
who hasn't seen much bloodshed.

Any woman who sees someone

die right in front of her

would react the same way, okay?

Boss?

That's not important.

What matters is,

it grossed me out so much
I couldn't eat meat for three days.

Can we make a deal?

Next time you k*ll people in front of me,

can you keep the wounds smaller

and the scene less bloodly?

Just take care of me, okay?

Alright, whatever you say.

But

I'm a bit curious.

Did you really skin that prisoner

in the dungeon?

He was once under my command.

But during a mission, I discovered

that he had assaulted many young girls,

so I personally broke both his legs

and his arms as well.

I see.

Though cruel,

he deserved it.

You've asked me so many questions.

Now let me ask you one.

Do you really like Helou Che?

It's only been a few meetings.
I can't say I like him.

But Helou Che is a pretty good person.

Isn't it because of your status

that you didn't go with him to Beiqiong?

If I say yes, what will you do?

Why would I give up being a princess

and go endure hardships in Beiqiong?

Though they have vast grasslands
where I can ride horses,

it can't compare to the wealth
and prosperity I have now.

Someone's jealous.

Like a green-eyed monster.

I bought this just for you.

Don't be mad.

First it was sugar people,
now a grasshopper.

You're really treating me like a kid.

Thanks, I'll take it.

Does Helou Che get one too?

Why are you even comparing now?

No, no, only you get one.

I'll lie down and sleep too.

By the way,

do you like horse riding?

Can you ride a horse?

I can, but not very well.

Why do you ask?

What a pity.

I was thinking of teaching you

at the royal hunting event.

You'd look so cute as a beginner.

Wait a minute.

The royal hunt?

[Apart from the lovey-dovey
moments of the leads,]

[it also mentioned
the Crown Prince's assassination.]

[And soon after the hunting event,]

[the Crown Prince passed away due to illness.]

What should I do?

In such a Marry Sue fiction,

the author clearly focuses on

the love stories
of the leads during the hunt.

The Crown Prince's assassination
is just brushed over.

What does the book say again?

Why is this girl acting so strangely lately?

After the hunt, the Crown Prince died.

Then the male lead came to the scene.

I can't just tell him, "Hey,"

you're about to die soon,

"so be more cautious!"

Who? Who's about to die?

Tell me clearly!

Xiao Xingheng invited me
to join the hunting event.

I can't do it.

I'm going to disgrace our Ning family.

I see.

The blood in your veins is mine,

and hunting is second nature to us.

What are you afraid of?

Don't be a coward, just go!

- Go, go on. - Father, I...

I'll go.

Miss, all the other young masters
and ladies have gone out.

Why don't you go ride your horse
and get familiar with the area?

Alright.

By the way, when the hunt begins,

I'll be going in with the Crown Prince.

If I don't return within two hours,

no matter the reason,

tell my father you've received
a distress signal

and have him find me in the forest.

Miss, is something going to happen?

Not necessarily.

That's just a precaution.

Make sure my father brings enough people.

I'll remember.

Be careful, Miss.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Yudai, you look great today.

Thank you, Your Highness.

The entrance of Princess Yuexi

will undoubtedly capture
the souls of countless young men.

She was previously devoted
to my third brother,

and now she uses this trick

to seduce other men.

Truly a fool.

[She used to claim she admired me.]

[But now her attitude has completely changed.]

[She's parading around so shamelessly]

[and flirtatiously.]

[What does she take me for?]

Your Grace, watch out!

Ning Chuxi, are you insane?

You're the insane one!

Do you know the punishment
for whipping a royal member?

And do you know the punishment
for sh**ting at a princess?

Your Grace, you're mistaken.

His Highness merely slipped.

It was unintentional.

Moreover, you're completely unharmed.

But your whipping of His Highness

was clearly intentional.

My path wasn't even near the woods.

If His Highness managed to
"accidentally" sh**t me from there,

then all his archery training was in vain.

If His Highness can slip,

then why can't I slip

and whip him?

You're unharmed,

but I'm injured in the arm.

Do you really think
Father won't hold you accountable?

What? My hair isn't injured?

You're being completely unreasonable.

You really take yourself seriously.

Didn't she see even
the Fourth Princess knows better now?

And yet she keeps putting on an act.

This is between me and His Highness.

Who do you think you are?

Exactly.

Miss Lin hasn't even married in yet,

and is already acting like His Highness's wife,

arguing with Princess Yuexi.

If the Third Prince wants an explanation,
he should do it himself.

I don't think you're qualified yet.

Ning Chuxi, you're going too far!

If you think I've gone too far,

perhaps I should call my father,

and we can both explain everything
to His Majesty together.

If the young ones can't settle things,

they turn to their elders.

Xu.

Your Highness.

What happened?

Why you're injured?

Quickly, get a physician to bandage it.

There seems to be some

misunderstanding between Her Grace and you.

[Don't think I didn't notice]

[you've been standing there
watching this whole time.]

There is a slight misunderstanding.

His Highness accidentally injured me,

and I accidentally injured him.

Since it was an accident,

let's not dwell on it.

Xu,

quickly find a royal physician.

If you let this injury sit too long,
it might actually heal.

I'll escort Her Grace back to camp.

We're heading the same way.

Third Prince, how's your injury?

Is it starting to heal?

That whip really hit the spot.

If I weren't afraid of being blamed,
I'd have whipped him a few more times.

There will be more opportunities.

That golden crown was expensive.
I forgot to make him compensate me.

I'll compensate you.

I thought you'd blame me
for being impulsive.

Remember,

if something like this happens again,

just fight back.

If you can't win, come to me.

Don't worry about the consequences.

Your father can protect you,

and I will also back you up.

Boss, you're even cooler now.

Let's go.

Your Majesty, bad news!

Speak.

Your Majesty, the Third Prince
and Princess Yuexi got into a fight.

The Third Prince shot an arrow
at Princess Yuexi, but it missed.

Then Princess Yuexi
whipped the Third Prince.

And then the Crown Prince...

Enough.

Leave.

Yes.

[A wise goose never lays a tame egg.]

[I didn't expect my daughter to be so brave.]

[Not bad, not bad.]

[Wait.]

My unruly daughter
has injured the Third Prince.

I beg Your Majesty for forgiveness.

You're overthinking this.

These are just small quarrels
among children.

There's no crime in that.

Thank you, Your Majesty,
for your understanding.

No need for formalities.

Sit down.

[Old fox, how will you
handle this punishment?]

[Your daughter whipped my son,]

[and my son hasn't even retaliated yet.]

Why do you seem so nervous today?

To be honest,

I've had a bad feeling since this morning.

Is this why you told me to be prepared?

What's wrong?

Looks like your premonition was spot on.

Although I took precautions
as you suggested,

I didn't expect they put in so much effort.

There are more people than I imagined.

What do we do now?

It's fine.

I'll have Huailiu escort you back.

Their target is me.

They're not very interested in stopping you.

Are you out of your mind?

They already outnumber us,

and you want to send me away?

Don't worry.

You can go for reinforcements.

It's not safe here.

I know you mean well,

but this is not the time to be impulsive.

There's only the two of us.

Staying together
is our best chance for safety.

I gave you a chance.

[From now on, no matter life or death,]

[you can't leave me again.]

Come on, Boss.

At such a tense moment,

what are you smiling about?

Huailiu, protect Her Grace!

Xiao Xingheng!

Chuxi! Chuxi!
