Kiddo, eat more.

I found you some friends.

Have a good time. Are you happy?

Bad news! The Heavenly Horse
rushed into the mare's stable.

Congratulations on
winning the race, Your Highness.

Tell me what you want as a reward.

I'll fulfill your wish as long as I can.

Don't be so distant, Your Highness.

Call me brother-in-law.

What?

Brother-in-law?

My brother-in-law.

I don't have much to give you.

I'll give you a tip that can

keep you safe in the palace.

What tip?

Listen carefully.

Stay away from women

who try to get close to you,

no matter whether they do it

on purpose or by accident.

Stay alert.

Due to your special status,

they will use you,

set you up,

and drain you.

Drain me?

What does that mean?

You'll get it one day.

Anyway, remember.

Women only slow you down
when you try to draw your sword.

Whenever you're approached by pretty ladies,

tell me so that I keep watch for you.

Only the pretty ones?

That's right.

Because they are the best liars.

The pretty ones.

Yue, come out.

[The Crown Prince has such a unique taste.]

Yue, confess.

Do you want to set me up,

assassinate me,

use me,

or drain me?

Your Highness, I dare not
harbor such treasonous thoughts.

My life had been miserable
before I was brought to the palace.

I'm so grateful I met...

Wait.

Your Highness, did you go out one day
and see her being bullied?

You saved her out of good will

and then she told you

that she was from a poor family
and had to sell herself

to bury her late parents?

Is that the case?

Am I right?

Yeah.

How did you know that?

I just took her in yesterday.

Look.

I got it right.

Confess. Who sent you?

Is it the Sixth Lord?

It must be him.

Only he would use such nasty tricks.

Why did he send you to His Highness?

That's not true.

It's not necessarily poisoning.

It's hard to bring poison into the palace.

So you're here to assassinate him.

She's here to assassinate you.

What does that imply?

She's well-trained.

Guards!

Miss, a kind reminder.

You've got the wrong guy.
The target is there.

I wish I could cut your tongue.

Even if I have to die today,

I will drag you down with me.

That's unnecessary.

I promise you a grand funeral, alright?

Shut up.

You really work for the Sixth Lord?

Your Highness, you are weak and foolish.

You're no match for the Sixth Lord.

k*ll her.

Don't move.

Miss, as you can see,
His Highness tends to listen to me.

So put down the sword.

Let me talk to them.

We'll do you justice, okay? I promise.

You're the one I want
to k*ll the most right now.

Let's die together.

How dare you!

So beautiful.

Our Duke.

I feel dirty. I need a bath.

Don't go.

You're leaving now?

Stay a bit more.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Perfect timing.

You promised to kiss me

if I help you win the horse race.

I saved you today.

So we're even now.

How are we even just like that?

Ask my brother-in-law if he agrees.

Brother-in-law?

That's right.

My brother-in-law

caught that assassin.

Or I'd have been in real danger.

Brother-in-law?

Yeah.

Oh my, Young Master Chu
only met His Highness today.

How...

What?

You're not going to break

your promise, are you?

[He is still of value. I will put up with it.]

Fine, see you, Your Highness.

Young Master Chu, you did
exceptionally well in the race.

But you've also offended the Sixth Lord.

You could be k*lled at any moment.

Ruyi.

Do you see me as someone
who is so afraid of death?

Of course not.

Are you sure they won't send assassins
into the Princess's Mansion?

Or bribe someone
inside the mansion to poison me,

set a fire, or something?

I'm not sure.

I thought you weren't afraid.

It is always necessary to take precautions.

As the one in charge of the Princess's Mansion,

you must strengthen the defense

to protect the princess.

Rest assured.

Her Highness is guarded
by highly skilled secret guards.

She is totally safe.

[It's terrifying.
The assassins could sneak in.]



[just to be safe.]

Chu Xiaoran, why are you following me?

It makes me feel safe.

I thought you weren't afraid of death.

Are you a man or not?

Don't you know

the answer to that?

Chu Xiaoran, you'd better forget
what happened that day.

And don't have any
improper thoughts about me.

You know?

Your eyelashes curl when you're angry.

It's very pretty.

Get angry more often.

Ouch.

Be careful, Your Highness.

Catch the assassin! Stop!

Good opportunity. Come on. Take over.
