- Please take a look.

- Why did you ask that servant

to pay attention to the room

with the fewest guards in the mansion?

Song Wei is the Grand Chancellor

and doesn't need power.

If he had indeed colluded Xi Changkun,

what do you think

the reason would've been?

He wants money.

If he collects money

as the Grand Chancellor,

he'd be suspected of bribery.

So, he used Zheng Yuan's name

to open shops

to gather money secretly.

He wouldn't want

too many people to know

where the money is kept.

Thus, the most unsafe place

is actually the safest.

Are you saying

he hides the money

in the most unsafe room

to divert attention?

What's your next move?

I'll do what you did

when you came to Yannan

and act before reporting.

You were so decisive when you left.

If I hadn't done that,

how could I see you again?

Sorry about that.

(Jun Mansion)

Miss Qiluo, the Chancellor is here.

The master instructed me

to wait for you here.

Recently, everyone's been talking

about the Beixuan spy.

General Lie, you'd better not go in.

Why has he suddenly come?

The Chancellor heard

the master's legs hadn't recovered,

so he sent the physician to check.

Miss Qiluo,

I'll go in first.

He knows we've traced to Zheng Yuan.

His visit must be more

than just a casual check-up.

Be very careful.

Physician,

it's taken such a long time,

yet nothing worked.

Let's stop today.

Don't rush it.

The longer the diagnosis,

the clearer the cause of the illness.

Chancellor.

You

Greetings, Chancellor.

Chengliu,

you're so fortunate.

I've long heard your eldest daughter

resembles Feifan the most.

Now that I see her,

it's indeed true.

Father, what are you doing?

Well

Your father's leg injury

has not healed yet,

so I've invited this physician,

who specializes

in treating limb injuries,

to take a look.

How's it going?

It's still unclear.

I'm afraid my legs can't be cured,

so let's stop today.

Thank you, Chancellor,

for remembering me.

Look at you.

If there's even a slight chance,

don't give up easily.

Thank you for your kindness.

We've consulted many physicians,

but the results were all similar.

Father.

Father, are you okay?

Let me examine him.

Well.

Since you insist,

let's stop today.

I'll come visit another time.

Sure.

Go see the Chancellor off.

Yes.

Chancellor, this way.

What have you found out?

It's a sign of pregnancy.

I didn't guess wrong.

You,

come with me to the Palace

to meet the King.

Yes.

(Jun Mansion)

If the Chancellor tells the King

that Qiluo is pregnant,

then our family will be guilty

of deceiving the King.

Sorry, Father.

I underestimated the situation.

I thought I could come up

with a perfect strategy

before telling the King.

I'm going to the Palace

to meet your King now.

Why?

To turn yourself in?

I'll tell him

that I forced you,

and it wasn't your choice.

What nonsense are you talking about?

But what the general said

does make sense.

Rather than waiting here

for the King's summon,

we might as well speak the truth

to ease the King's doubts.

I'll also do everything

to protect you.

That's a problem we can't avoid.

Beixuan and Yannan

are having peace talks,

and there's no rule

against intermarriage.

If we swear in front of the King

that we'll never attack Yannan,

perhaps it will ease his concerns.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

The rest, hurry and follow.

You go over there.

Young Master,

our people have been stationed

throughout the forest,

waiting for your command.

No rush.

We only have a few hundred soldiers.

Compared to the garrison

in the Royal City,

we have no chance of winning.

Contact some loyal old generals

from our clan.

If they're willing

to continue following me,

reveal your identity and gather them.

If they're unwilling,

remember to protect your identity.

Yes.

The forest here is relatively safe.

We can stay here long-term.

Find some men who are familiar

with the terrain,

make a map for defense and attack,

and give everyone a copy.

Yes.

My Lord,

I'll make the defense map.

I'll live or die with you.

(Grand Chancellor's Mansion)

Who told you to clean here?

Chancellor, please forgive me.

Butler Zheng used to clean the study.

Since his death, no one has come here.

I came to clean

as a way to repay his kindness.

I'll spare you this time.

Don't come here again.

Yes.

(Wisdom and Grace)

Where's Shao Qimin?

He just came back. Where's he now?

Master, Miss Qiluo,

General Lie, and Qimin

went to the Palace together

at noon today.

They went to the Palace together?

Why would Lie go to the Palace?

Take a look.

(Yunchang Workshop)

Miss Xiukun.

I hope your business prospers.

My young master hasn't returned.

To avoid being late,

I brought the gift early.

Thank you.

(Clouds Rest)

Luo Qi,

you came just in time.

Come here.

(Clouds Rest)

Is this in the right place?

(I have to return to Beixuan.)

(I can't be a live-in husband.)

Is it the right place?

Where are you going?

I

Good thing you're fast.

Is this thing

very important to you?

Of course.

This is the Seven Star Formation,

which brings wealth and prosperity.

Placing it in Xiukun's workshop

is to wish her abundant wealth.

This is superstition.

It's a good wish for merchants.

Merchants in Yannan place this at home.

What do you know?

Try hitting me again.

You

Why do you always do things

that are so annoying?

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

You want your husband to look good,

protect your family,

and marry into your family.

The first two are fine,

but the last one

No way.

Who asked you to meet those standards?

I never said it was you.

What?

It isn't me?

Who else could it be?

If you didn't mean me,

who else could it be?

I

Luo Qi.

It must be me.

What happened?

Take me to find He Jiyao.

We're going to the Palace.

Lie and Qingming are in danger.

How can He Jiyao and I

enter the Yannan Palace?

There's no time for explanations.

The Beixuan envoy hasn't left.

I'll find him.

Let's meet outside the Palace. Quick!

Okay.

I'll consider the last condition.

You can't think about others now.

It seems that the Beixuan spy

and the substitution were fake.

But you

did help Xuan Lie become the Wolf Lord

and get pregnant

with his child.

Yes.

You knew all of this.

No wonder the investigation

into the Beixuan spy

has taken so long to yield results.

I am guilty.

Good for all of you.

Your Majesty, please forgive me.

Though you're no longer the Wolf Lord,

you're still a Beixuan general.

At such a crucial time for peace talks,

you rashly entered Yannan.

How can I know the true intentions

of the King of Beixuan?

It was improper of me,

but I hope that Yannan

won't doubt our sincerity

in seeking peace.

My King has repeatedly

advised me to leave,

but

I found someone I once lost,

so I don't want to leave.

That's why I've stayed in Yannan

a little longer.

With her special status,

there's no outcome between you and her.

Do you know that?

Before, Qiluo and I

had our own responsibilities.

Whether in Beixuan or in Yannan,

this remains an unsolvable problem.

This started because of me.

I'm willing to take full responsibility.

But

I can't give Qiluo up.

Your Majesty,

I disregarded your orders

and made a grave mistake.

I'm willing to be punished.

It's crucial for the peace talks

between Beixuan and Yannan now.

General Lie is a Beixuan noble.

If anything happens to him,

it could lead to w*r.

It would be a loss for all.

Your Majesty

Enough.

Here's the deal:

I'll give you three days

to leave Yannan immediately,

and I'll overlook the past.

Thank you for your mercy.

But you,

as the Commander

of the Royal Surveillance

who works for the royal family,

have disobeyed orders multiple times.

How should I deal with you?

You can't deal with him.

Your Majesty,

the Beixuan envoy

has urgent matters to discuss,

but Princess Qingkou rashly barged in.

This is Princess Qingkou of Beixuan.

You're Princess Qingkou?

That's right.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

Qingkou was eager to save Shao Qimin.

She didn't mean to be impolite.

You're the Princess

who married Shao Qimin on her behalf?

He got lucky and married a Princess.

This marriage was too childish.

It doesn't count.

Though I was a substitute bride,

I've done the ceremony with him,

lived in the same house,

and shared the same bed.

Why doesn't it count?

Now he's my legitimate husband.

He's a noble now.

If you don't want

to jeopardize the peace talks,

you can't k*ll him.

Are you saying I have to send

a betrothal gift

to the King of Beixuan?

Enough. I have matters

to discuss with Shao Qimin.

You may leave now.

Young Master, the envoy

can't enter the Palace with generals.

Luo Qi and I can only wait outside.

Is everything okay?

Send a letter to the King.

I need a valid reason to stay in Yannan.

Make it quick.

Yes.

You still betrayed me.

I know you came here today

with the resolve to die.

If Princess Qingkou hadn't saved you,

you wouldn't even need to wait

for the poison to take effect.

You'd have died today.

I understand.

Do you know

why I had to send Xuan Lie

away from Yannan?

Because I can't let go

of the child inside Jun Qiluo.

But you just promised

to spare the Jun family.

I only promised to spare Jun Qiluo.

Her child carries Beixuan blood.

If Jun Qiluo

teaches the child the Baigong crafts,

it will lead to endless trouble.

However,

there's another way

to save her child.

k*ll Xuan Lie.

Let Miss Qiluo's child

belong to Yannan entirely.

So, you want to send Xuan Lie away.

You want to k*ll him outside Yannan.

Yes.

You're very clever.

Now, there are two paths:

Either k*ll Xuan Lie

or k*ll Jun Qiluo's child.

(Wind Pavilion)

I'm going to the Uncontrollable

tomorrow morning?

The King wants you to evaluate

the feasibility of establishing

the trading post there.

He still has doubts

about the trading post?

The King didn't elaborate.

Perhaps it's because the Uncontrollable

is in a turbulent state

and he's lacking confidence.

But the King had warned me

not to leave the capital.

The King's lifted your restraint order.

The King repeatedly instructed it

to be done in secret.

Now, the Juns' business

stands at the top of Yannan.

Perhaps, apart from you,

the King has no better candidate.

Did the King keep you there

just to discuss this?

As the King ordered,

I shall make the trip.

My Lady, let me.

Xuan Lie,

will you come with us tomorrow?

Yes.

That's good.

My Lady,

now you're finally willing

to lower your guard

and seek protection.

Even if I'm not by your side

in the future,

I can rest easy.

(Peaceful Nation)

Why are you still standing there?

Come in.

Qingming,

come in.

Come in.

Sit.

Take a look.

I made all of this.

No need to wait for me.

If you're hungry, you can eat first.

I just don't like

the way the food was placed.

I wasn't waiting for you.

I don't like ginger.

What's wrong with you today?

Why are you being so accommodating?

I'm your husband,

so I naturally accommodate you.

You used the blood medicine to save me.

From now on,

I'll listen to you.

The ginger slice is too spicy

and not good for your recovery.

Don't eat it.

Didn't you just say

that you'll listen to me?

How about we go back

to Beixuan in a few days?

If you don't like the Palace,

I'll have my brother build us

a new house

just for the two of us.

How about it?

Okay.

When are we leaving?

Wait until tomorrow.

I need to finish one last task.

Okay.

When you return,

I have a gift for you.

Hurry and eat.

The food's getting cold.

Eat now.

After this forest is the city gate.

You're pregnant.

You shouldn't be out.

The King's orders must be carried out.

(Wisdom and Grace)

What time is it now?

It's the Chen hour.

Where is Shao Qimin?

Mr. Shao left early with Miss Qiluo.

Jun Qiluo?

Do you know where they went?

I don't know.

When are we leaving?

Wait until tomorrow.

I need to finish one last task.

Why did he bring Jun Qiluo along

for this task?

(My Lady, forgive me.)

(This is the only way to keep you safe.)

(For the rest of the journey,)

(let Xuan Lie continue to protect you.)

Princess, they're going

to the Uncontrollable

to carry out the task

assigned by the King of Yannan.

They'll be back soon.

Let's go back and wait for news.

Shut up.

Qingming is my husband.

I want to go with him.

Commander An

of the Military Office.

The King must've been

long suspecting me of this.

(It's already the Si hour.)

(I'm afraid I can't fulfill

my promise to her.)

The Commander of the Surveillance

has disobeyed royal orders,

releasing a key talent.

He shall be ex*cuted.

k*ll him!

Is the carriage going too fast?

Are you feeling unwell?

Don't worry. I'm not that delicate.

Where's Qimin?

Let's go back. Hurry!

Chase them.

Let's return to the city.

Qingming.

Why?

Why did you lie to me?

You promised me

we'd go back to Beixuan together.

I won't lie to you again.

We'll leave Yannan together.

Let's leave Yannan,

buy a house for just the two of us,

and live together forever.

Qingming,

I've made the antidote.

As long as you take it,

you'll be fine.

Hurry and eat.

Eat.

Why won't you eat?

You'll be fine if you eat it.

Hurry and eat it.

Give this

to Miss Qiluo for me.

The King

The King won't spare them.

You're still thinking about Jun Qiluo?

What does she have to do with me?

Qingkou,

don't be willful.

Only you can help them now.

You're willing to die for her.

What about me?

Have you thought about me at all?

Qimin.

I'm sorry.

In my next life

Qingming!

Qingming!

Qimin.

- Go away.

- Qimin.

- Don't touch him.

- Qimin.

How could this happen?

Qimin.

Go away.

Qimin.

Qingming, get up.

You can't die.

Get up.

You promised me

we'd return to Beixuan together.

You can't go back on your word.

Get up.

Qingming,

I order you to get up.

Qingming, I'll take you back to Beixuan.

Qingming,

get up!

Princess

The urgent letter from Commander An.

Your Majesty,

Jun Qiluo didn't leave.

She's back at the Jun Mansion.

Commander Shao disobeyed your orders

and died.

What a waste.

I've trained him for so many years.

Why didn't he listen to me?

Commander Shao took an extreme step.

He wanted to sacrifice himself

to protect Jun Qiluo

and the Beixuan Wolf Lord.

But Jun Qiluo is very calculating.

She knows

that only by returning

can she protect everyone.

Your Majesty,

what should we do with Jun Qiluo

and the Jun family now?

Since Jun Qiluo is willing to return,

it means she's still loyal to Yannan.

Jun Qiluo and the Jun family

are still useful to Yannan.

But

Shao Qimin's death will only strengthen

Jun Qiluo's resolve to be with Xuan Lie.

I can no longer break them up.

I must think

of another way to solve this problem.

Qiluo,

have some congee.

How is Mr. Jun?

Since Qimin's body was brought back,

Father hasn't said a word.

The coroner examined the body

and said the internal organs were

Father was heartbroken.

He didn't even eat dinner.

Only after the coffin was sealed

did he go to rest in his room.

By the way,

a servant of the Chancellor came earlier

to deliver a message.

He said he found the result you wanted.

As you weren't back,

he drew this map

(Study)

and asked me to give you this.

(Study)

Xuan Lie,

if Song Wei hadn't told the King

about my pregnancy,

Qimin wouldn't have died, right?

Qingming

Qingming

Qingming

Qingming.

Qingming.

I'm back.

Have you completed the task?

Did you get hurt?

I've been waiting for you.

Let's go back to Beixuan.

(Grand Chancellor's Mansion)

(100% Gold, Xi Clan)

This is a gold bar from the Xi Clan.

The diagram of the Baigong's heir.

(Three-Arrow Crossbow Diagram)

(Grand Chancellor's Mansion)

Chancellor,

you're going to court, right?

Please.

You incited the King of Yannan

and wanted him to k*ll us,

but you didn't expect us

to return alive.

The King cares most

about the Baigong's heir.

Even if I hadn't told him,

the King would've never let you

keep the child inside you.

Now that you're here,

as an important official of Yannan,

I will help the King

relieve his worries.

Guards,

seize them.

Guards.

Guards!

No need to call them.

Your people have been surrounded

by the Surveillance.

Jun Qiluo, you're very bold.

You're not an official,

yet you mobilized the secret guards

without permission

and intruded on my mansion.

It'll implicate your entire family.

I'm already here,

so I must be well-prepared.

(Royal Surveillance)

(Royal Surveillance)

Chancellor,

our grudges should be settled now.

Your Majesty,

these were found

in the Chancellor's secret cabinet.

The sheet on your desk

is the first blueprint I designed.

The Chancellor secretly copied them

and traded with the Xi Clan of Beixuan.

These gold bars are all marked

with the Xi character.

They belong to the Xi Clan.

After the Chancellor got them,

he dared not use them in Yannan,

so he hid them in his secret cabinet.

Your Majesty, please view them.

Your Majesty,

I am innocent!

As the Chancellor,

you neglected the safety of the people

and traded weapons with Beixuan.

Do you deserve my trust?

Your Majesty,

these are my butler

Zheng Yuan's belongings.

It has nothing to do with me!

Chancellor, you're quite eloquent.

How can you use a dead man

to absolve yourself?

Zheng Yuan was your butler.

Without your permission,

how could he hide his items

in your secret chamber?

Your Majesty,

Zheng Yuan secretly traded weapons

with the Xi Clan behind my back.

When I discovered it,

it was already too late.

I covered up his actions out of respect

for the years he served me.

I planned to report this to you

after this incident,

but he

If I'm at fault,

it's my fault for shielding a criminal.

Your Majesty, please punish me.

Chancellor, you're indeed eloquent.

Zheng Yuan is dead,

with no one to testify,

so you place all the blame

on him.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

She's pregnant

with the Beixuan Wolf Lord's child.

She is a traitor to Yannan.

Now she's twisting the truth,

slandering me,

and meddling in state affairs.

Who knows what she's up to?

You're indeed a master of words.

At this point,

you're still trying to frame me.

Zheng Yuan served you for many years,

and he left behind a backup plan.

To protect his family,

he had written down

all the Chancellor's crimes.

The day before his death,

he sent it to a trusted servant.

Today, the servant received this letter.

This letter can't be forged.

It's written in a style

similar to yours.

Zheng Yuan must've learned

your handwriting, right?

Now that the evidence is clear,

what more can you say?

Your Majesty,

I've been cautious and careful,

supporting you for so many years.

How can you trust

Jun Qiluo's words over mine?

Had I known this,

I should've let her die in Beixuan,

so she wouldn't have the chance

to sway you.

Everything has gone wrong.

I treated you well,

yet you remain

unrepentant and insatiable.

How sinister

you are.

Spread my order:

Song Wei is guilty of treason.

He shall be imprisoned

in the Heavenly Prison

and ex*cuted.

All his ill-gotten wealth

will be confiscated.

Your Majesty,

Miss Jun and Xuan Lie

captured Song Wei by mobilizing

the Royal Surveillance.

Xuan Lie is still waiting outside

with the Beixuan envoy's documents.

Jun Qiluo,

how dare you mobilize the Surveillance

without my permission

and repeatedly involve outsiders

in meddling with Yannan politics?

The Jun family needs to be punished.

Guards, take her away.

Yes.
