[Episode 5]

Your Majesty,

I've arranged additional guards in the prison.

The assassin can't succeed
if she wants to k*ll Her Grace.

Good.

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

Your Majesty,

since you came back from visiting Her Grace,

you've been thinking.

What has she told you?

She said she would solve this case personally,

and requested termination of her grounding

after she was vindicated.

Come on, at this hour,

she's still bothered about her grounding.

Because she never gives up escaping.

Can Her Grace really catch the m*rder*r?

She insisted, anyway.

And she told me

what she would do.

Liu Jun,

get all maids to the prison tomorrow.

Bring Bai Ke and Hu Die, too.

Aye.

And I've made up my mind.

If the case can't be solved,

I'll still have to keep her alive,

regardless of the consequences.

Your Majesty, why?

Qi Pa is in the prison alone

and I can't help worrying about her.

Your Majesty, think again.

If Hu Die really involves the Elders,

things will get tough.

I brought Qi Pa to our clan,

so I must take her under my protection.

Even if the Elders may be involved,

I have to take chances for her.

That's it. I should go.

Didn't Li Xiong say you couldn't come

in case you annoyed your people again?

I annoyed them, anyway.

So whatever.

Life is hard here.

I've brought you something.

What is this?

Pesticide powder.

Scatter it on the ground

and c*ck won't scare you anymore.

It's so great for me.

Why?

I think

scattering it on the ground would be wasteful.

Scattering it on our bodies

would be more effective.

You don't need to worry.

I'll be here for you tonight.

You won't be alone.

And I promise I'll help more than the powder.

It's so kind of you, Your Majesty.

But...

You don't have to do this.

You're scared of me.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm just trying to look out for you.

A king like you

shouldn't be in the prison.

If your people know about it,

it could be worse.

And I have this, anyway.

[Su Daqiang, bloodline: scorpion, poison master]

[Xiniang, bloodline: fox, seductively charming]
Master,

[Xiniang, bloodline: fox, seductively charming]
Haitang's here.

Master,

I made it.

As per your orders,

I impersonated Qi Pa and tried to m*rder a maid.

[Haitang, bloodline: chameleon, disguise master]
Now, everyone thinks she's the m*rder*r.

And the hairpin I left on the crime scene

turns out to be hard evidence.

Well done.

What am I gonna do next?

Observe.

And inform Xiniang if you get anything new.

Yes.

Vindicate yourself?

I think it's just a deathbed struggle.

Listen.

Don't do anything that isn't gonna work.

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

you promised to give Her Grace one day.

Don't be so aggressive, then.

Yeah.

His Majesty speculated

that the one who assassinated me

and the one who tried to k*ll Chun'er
were one and the same.

I can find out who she is.

Hu Die, Sweetie,

you'll know soon.

All ladies are here, right?

For your information,

there are too many ladies.

Only some of them are here.

The rest are waiting out there.

Good.

What are you looking at?

Don't be nervous.

As far as my eyes can see,

you can't be that woman assassin.

You!

It's not for men to watch.

Turn around.

Li Xiong.

You turn around, too.

That assassin's breast

was rather impressive.

No.

No.

Not her.

So... sorry.

Not her, either.

It's you, Stewardess Qing.

I know you.

Greetings, Your Grace.

A little bit small.

So, it can't be you.

Sorry for the offense.

Oh, no.

That doesn't make sense.

Why does no one have that breast?

Men, you can turn back now.

Her Grace seems to have finished.

What? Did you find out the m*rder*r?

How could I didn't identify anyone?

I wondered what you got.

So, that's all you've got.

Get her back to her cell.

Wait.

I have some more evidence.

When Chun'er was pushed into the well,

she got a wisp of hair from the m*rder*r.

And with this,

we'll find her.

Give it to me.

You!

Even if you have more tricks to play,

it doesn't change the fact
that you're the m*rder*r.

I want to see His Majesty. Where's he?

His Majesty gave you a chance.

A m*rder*r must be ex*cuted.

After tonight,

you'll be sentenced.

I'm innocent, seriously.

Why do you not trust me?

Your Grace,

didn't you say you could find out the m*rder*r?

- I...
- Enough trash talk.

Take her away.

- Aye.
- Aye.

W... Wait.

I'm...

I'm innocent, seriously!

Why don't you guys trust me?

The prison is a restricted area.

I'm innocent!

Now that the case is solved,

we may all leave.

Go.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Come have a look.

[Yuyan Shop]
Come have a look.

We have new good cosmetics for sale.

Come in and have a look.

[Xiniang, bloodline: fox, seductively charming]

Come in and have a good look.

[Yuyan Shop]

Qi Pa had an investigation

and it failed.

But she said she found some new evidence.

Things might change.

Then you shouldn't wait anymore.

Today, I saw many palace guards search the city.

I guess Kui Mulang is so eager to get Qi Pa off

that he widened the investigation.

What does Master want, then?

Master asked me to tell you

this is your last chance.

When palace guards are sent out
and there is less security,

k*ll her soon.

I will.

Come for me, huh?

It's really you.

When I showed the hair,

you seemed off about something.

When Chun'er was pushed into the well,

she got a wisp of hair from the m*rder*r.

And with this,

we'll find her.

You set this trap!

Yes, we did.

What, am I gonna wait until you k*ll me?

Your Majesty and I agreed on this.

We got you in and then caught you.

I never thought I'd be tricked by you.

So, Li Xiong and Hu Die were playacting, too.

You were good, anyway.

You impersonated me for the m*rder.

I nearly failed to be vindicated.

One more question.

How did you get my hairpin?

I see.

You took advantage of that.

Confess. Who do you work for?

Why did you assassinate Her Grace?

If you don't confess, that's fine.

Your lair...

My man has found it.

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

You do.

[Yuyan Shop]

[Yuyan Shop]

[Yuyan Shop]

- Look.
- Look.

Such a big scene.

Search.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Check this, Deputy Commander.

Haonan, return to the Palace

and show the dregs to His Majesty.

Yes.

Commander,

we searched throughout the city.

But no.

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

Some nearby lanes haven't been checked yet.

[Bai Ke, bloodline: hedgehog, thorny and upright]

Let's search separately.

Aye.

Go!

- Yes!
- Go.

[Clear Spring Pool]

Goodbye, gentlemen.

Hope you'll come next time.

Tell me.

Did any shadowy individuals come today?

What do the individuals look like?

Any reference?

Do you know the proprietress of Yuyan Shop?

I always stay here in my pool

and I don't know many strangers.

How about you get in and search?

[Male]

[Clear Spring Pool]

General,

isn't it inappropriate for you to search?

Dayu, you get in with your men.

Search the place

but don't disturb any guests.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Stewardess Qing is in prison,

awaiting your justice.

I consulted the Imperial Doctor.

This prescription is 70% similar

to the poison that drove our men savage

five years ago.

Stewardess Qing's master turned out to be him.

So, Stewardess Qing is

a spy that mysterious man arranged in our palace.

But why did he want Her Grace to be k*lled?

Maybe they have discovered

that Qi Pa has the Holy Pearl.

But they feared me so much

that they had to hurt Qi Pa instead.

Anyway,

they're on Qi Pa now.

I won't let her

get hurt because of me.

[Clear Spring Pool]

[Male]

Deputy Commander,

no shadowy individuals.

If you see anyone suspicious, report it.

If you don't, you'll be culpable as well.

Got it.

Go.

Grandpa, Grandpa.

They have left.

Please. I'm begging you.

Don't hurt my grandson.

I'm begging you.

- I'm begging you.
- Grandpa!

k*ll them.

[Royal Palace]
West Gate.

Beast City.

[Beast City]
Forest outside the city.

No.

[Beast Forest]

No.

It's not the right place, either.

Here?

[Hongxiu, bloodline: cat, fast, soft and caring]

No.

Your Grace,

you're doing art again.

Cutie, tell me.

You found me

in that big dark forest.

How can I get there?

Through the city gate, of course.

What, Your Grace, you want to go?

I just think I've been here for days,

but haven't enjoyed the beautiful scenery

of your clan.

Such a shame.

Indeed.

But now you're grounded.

You can't even get out of the Palace.

Drop that idea.

Who said I couldn't get out?

Your Majesty, don't worry too much
about that mysterious man.

Bai Ke and Hu Die are hunting him in the city.

They'll find him, I believe.

He's rather discreet.

He won't be easily found.

And I'm not worrying about him,

but about Qi Pa.

Do you mean her grounding?

The mysterious man hasn't been caught yet.

I don't think I should end her grounding.

Instead, I should narrow it down

and ground her in her chamber

so that she can be safe.

It's wise of you, Your Majesty.

But I know Qi Pa's temper.

Being grounded in the Palace

makes her feel bad enough.

I don't have the heart
to ground her in her chamber.

And I gave her my word.

I should keep my word

and give her the freedom of movement.

It's so sweet of you, Your Majesty.

I don't know when the mysterious man
will attack again.

All I can do is protect her day and night.

It's so considerate of you, Your Majesty.

What did I just say?

Kui Mulang!

Kui Mulang.

You promised to set me free

if I helped you catch the assassin.

What's the hesitation now?

Are you going back on your word?

You're free.

I knew you would...

You're no longer grounded.

I'm not?

Did he just say that?

Pretend I didn't come.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Your Majesty,

high five.

[Chun'er, bloodline: sparrow, pretty cook, gossipy]
Chun'er, you were quite lucky.

[Chun'er, bloodline: sparrow, pretty cook, gossipy]
Without Her Grace,

you would have been dead.

And I accused Her Grace wrongly.

But this morning,

I apologized to Her Grace

and she forgave me.

No wonder His Majesty wants her.

That's so big of her.

Compared to Her Grace,

Deputy Commander Hu Die is rather aggressive.

She nearly k*lled someone innocent.

She's just being jealous.

Before Her Grace came,

Commander Hu Die used to be radiant.

She was even my role model.

I'd just like to say,

Princess Qi Pa will be my only role model.

Deputy Commander Hu Die was jealous

and she nearly wronged the queen-to-be.

Chun'er, after you write this down,

everyone in the Palace will know soon.

[Deputy Commander Hu Die was jealous]
[and she nearly wronged the queen-to-be]

You don't understand.

I'm just doing

what a gossipy girl should do.

Deputy Commander,

don't listen to them.

I know you were scrupulously fair

instead of wanting His Majesty.

That's right.

What are you talking about?

Who wants His Majesty?

Your Majesty,

the roast chicken you asked for.

Are... Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Weird.

I had a dream about Kui Mulang.

I must have been too tired.

That ancient tree...

Congratulations, Your Grace.

You're no longer grounded, congratulations.

I brought you a roast chicken

for celebration.

I appreciate it.

But it's not a good moment for chicken.

What if Kui Mulang

loses his mind someday

and grounds me again?

We have to run.

Oh,

I had another idea.

And it's worth a shot.

Your Grace,

I got some peanuts and green soybeans
from the Imperial Kitchen.

Don't you want to try some?

I'm extremely anxious to go home.

And this city is rather dangerous.

I was framed

and I was assassinated.

Kui Mulang even has a propensity for violence.

If I stay longer,

I might even lose my life.

A propensity for violence?

Don't you remember?

Last time, he nearly strangled me.

Oh, that.

Rest assured, Your Grace.

Worried about your safety,

I had that investigated.

That night, Kui Mulang,

after drinking too much,

was stabbed by you,

and then fought the assassin.

So, his internal force vibrated
and he went savage.

Emotionally stable,

His Majesty never does violence.

Is that true?

Very true.

Even still,

he hurt me, didn't he?

He's dangerous, anyway.

We're on a serious time crunch.

Come on.

Check this.

[Beast City]

Notice anything different?

Please be clear, Your Grace.

I'm leaving the city for this place.

[Beast Forest]

I failed to leave this city.

This forest is my only hope of going home.

But it's outside the city.

And the weather isn't good today.

Not a good day for the forest.

Li,

I feel something wrong with you.

What?

You seem to be not interested

in going back to Daxia State.

How's that possible?

We're in this together.

And...

I've been protecting you, haven't I?

You're good.

But when it comes to going home,

you've had

no ideas.

I know it's hard for you

to work for Kui Mulang.

Yet, you've got nothing from him

about going back to Daxia.

Tell me.

Is there something wrong?

And what are you keeping from me?

I...

I promise I keep nothing from you.

It's just silly of me.

I failed to get useful information

for you, Your Grace.

And I'll make amends.

I'll be right back.

Your Majesty?

You were visiting Her Grace, weren't you?

She's doubting whether I'm a real guard.

Your Majesty, what did you do

that made her suspect you?

Just because I did nothing.

Then she suspected me,

thinking I helped with nothing.

Qi Pa searched the Palace inside and outside,

except for the misty forest outside the city.

So, she thinks

that's where she can go back to her state.

And she insists on going there.

It's really wise of Her Grace.

She's right.

Your Majesty, what are you going to do?

I'm going to take her to the forest.

Anyway, the enchantment to Daxia State

can only be inactivated by me.

When she's there, she can't find a way back home.

Instead, she'll give up trying.

Good point.

Qi Pa is thinking about
how to get out of the city.

Go fetch something for me.

What is it?

Aye.

Hi, Mr. Liu Jun.

Mr. Liu Jun,

when I got drunk,

was I delirious?

Hongxiu, wake up.

Hongxiu.

Mr. Liu Jun.

Hongxiu, you're drunk.

No, you weren't.

Are you going to see Her Grace?

I picked some flowers.

Her Grace will love them.

His Majesty is taking Her Grace out.

I'm afraid Hongxiu will hinder them.

I have something to tell you.

Wait for me here in a quarter.

Something to tell me?

I want... I want to show you something.

Your Grace!

I'm back.

Already?

Yes.

I'm the most efficient guard in Daxia State.

Look.

What's this?

Exit Token.

Exit Token?

How did you get it?

With some small tricks.

For a guard like me from Daxia State,

this is nothing.

So, how?

I stole it.

Well done!

Indeed a great guard my mother nurtured.

Let's go right now.

Sure.

Your Grace,

we're going to the forest
to find a way back to Daxia State.

Why are you taking such heavy things?

In a forest,

we usually need some necessities for survival,

just in case.

And I came all this way to this city.

I should bring back some souvenirs

for people in my state.

It's wise of you, Your Grace.

Cosmetics.

Girls, come in and have a look.

New products.

Come on, step right up.

New silk clothes.

Your Grace,

the gate is right there.

Why did you stop?

I once tried to break out of it.

And you stole the Token.

We can't just go like this.

We can't?

Then how shall we go?

[Xianyi Clothing Store]

We can never be too careful.

Go.

Come in, please.

[Xianyi Clothing Store]

Come out.

Come on!

For Daxia State.

Hurry, hurry.

Innocent and pretty.

Come down here.

Watch out.

Perfect physique. Give me a spin.

Do it.

The dress I picked really fits you.

Let me carry this baggage.

It doesn't suit you.

I...

I shouldn't have packed so many things.

Go.

We're getting out of the city.

Don't stare at my wife!

Can we leave now?

Yes, you can.

That's more like it.

Honey.

Yes.

This is the forest.

This is where I woke up

and Hongxiu took me back to the Palace.

Your Grace, before it gets dark,

let's find the way back to Daxia State.

Speaking of which, he's more excited than me.

Follow me.

Li Xiong,

how many directions have we tried?

Nearly all directions, Your Grace.

Maybe there's no way back to Daxia State.

Impossible!

Is there really no way back home?

Your Grace,

what are you staring at?

Did you see that tree?

What tree?

That's not a tree.

That one.

The tallest and biggest tree in the middle.

I think I saw it somewhere before.

It's not special at all.

You can't have seen it before.

Let's keep searching.

I'm serious.

I had a dream of it in my afternoon nap.

Kui Mulang was in that dream, too.

Is that true?

A nightmare, anyway.

It was very ridiculous.

He held me up

and ran out from a tree.

That was a very, very big tree.

Just like this one.

It's just a coincidence.

Your Grace, stop thinking about it.

Let's go on with the search.

No way!

Maybe it's heaven-sent guidance for me.

Li Xiong,

how about we go check that tree?

My intuitive sense tells me

I'll find my way back home there.

- Your Grace!
- Go!

Mr. Liu Jun,

didn't you say

you wanted to show me something?

We've been standing here

for one hour.

What exactly are we looking at?

At...

At...

Umm...

Mr. Liu Jun,

I know it's hard for you to say something.

Actually, you don't have to say that.

Standing here with you

makes me happy enough.

But I have some business. I should go.

Hongxiu, I...

Did I mislead her?

That's it.

Exactly the tree in my dream.

Such a big tree.

Behind this tree are more trees.

What about the way back home?

It must be near.

Let's look around.

This is such a big tree.

It must have some mechanisms.

See if we can find them.

How could this be?

Was that only a dream?

I thought this was the day

we could go back to Daxia State.
