[Episode 12]

But Your Grace,

Zimei has been in Daxia Palace all the time.

He's been in Daxia Palace all the time?

Yeah.

When you were missing last time,

someone attacked Zimei

and he even lost his badge.

He lost his badge?

The badge!

[Daxia]
This is the badge of our guards.

You...

Zimei!

Your Grace,

you can call me Li Xiong here.

You're just in time.

I was wondering who could
contact Ma Yingxiong for me.

I can't contact General Ma now.

You know, he's straightforward

and not discreet.

I'm worried that he may expose my identity

and make Kui Mulang suspect me.

Your Grace, I also advise you

not to mention my name to him

in case we have unexpected troubles.

Your Grace. Your Grace.

Your Grace, Your Grace.

Your Grace,

you said you would take someone back.

So, it's Zimei.

But did you get the wrong person?

No wonder he didn't want to see Ma Yingxiong

and he looked reluctant to leave.

Turns out

he isn't Zimei.

Your Grace.

- Greetings, Your Grace.
- Greetings, Your Grace.

Your Majesty.

I'm fine.

Just a little bit exhausted.

You transfused internal force to the Holy Spring

and your body has been further damaged.

What do we do, then?

Back to business.

As you asked,

Bai Ke and Hu Die led their men out of the city,

searching hard for Chun'er.

Good.

I wonder if Qi Pa

has got something new from Ma Yingxiong.

Yeah.

Li Xiong!

Li Xiong, come out!

Her Grace?

Did she get something?

- No.
- Li Xiong!

She's calling Li Xiong.

Wait here for me.

- Li Xiong, come out!
- Don't follow me.

All right.

Come out, Li Xiong!

Li Xiong!

Li Xiong.

Your Grace, keep it down.

His Majesty is resting in there.

I don't care.

Confess.

Who on earth are you?

Why did you lie to me?

Why did you pretend to be Zimei?

I...

Ma Yingxiong told me everything.

Zimei has never left Daxia Palace.

That explains.

Every time I did something,

Kui Mulang could deal with it.

And every time I planned to escape,

I failed.

How come I never thought about it?

You're a mere guard

and how could you help me that much?

You are exactly

an informer Kui Mulang planted around me!

That's not true, Qi Pa.

Still lying?

Do you dare to say you weren't involved

every time I failed to escape?

I trusted you!

No one

has ever fooled me like this.

You're the first.

Li Xiong, I'll remember that!

Qi Pa, Qi Pa.

Qi Pa!

Qi Pa!

Let me go!

Let me go!

I said, let me go!

From this moment on,

you and I

are strangers.

♪The wind blows the petals into rain♪

♪They turn into memories in the palm♪

♪It's you who makes me happy♪

Li,

you seem to be not interested

in going back to Daxia State.

How's that possible?

We're in this together.

Your Grace, you're back.

♪Sometimes lovesickness, sometimes hatred♪

♪But it's you all the time♪

Your Grace, what's wrong?

I was thinking

I could be Kui Mulang's guard

while looking for you, Your Grace.

And today, I really met you.

If you really feel too cold,

lean on me.

Even if you can't return, it's fine.

You're not alone.

I'll always be there for you.

Liar!

Why am I still thinking about him?

♪Without me, can you get whatever you want?♪

Your Majesty,

now that Her Grace knew it,

how about you tell her everything?

She was angry enough when she knew
I wasn't her guard.

If she knows I'm Kui Mulang,

we'll be totally done.

It's so thoughtless of me.

What are you gonna do, Your Majesty?

I've never felt this upset before.

Many thoughts overwhelm me.

No idea how I should start to make it up.

Your Majesty, you fell in love with Her Grace

and I saw that very clearly.

For the Holy Pearl, I was trying to get her love.

Unexpectedly, I fell in love with her first.

Your Majesty.

Now I have to be real to her.

Whether she forgives me,

I'll always protect her.

Hongxiu,

get me some water.

Aye.

Your Grace!

How could you have let this happen?

What if the royal heir is hurt?

Greetings, Elder Qi.

Because you scared me.

Go. Feel her pulse

and check if the baby is all right.

No, no, that's not necessary.

It's necessary.

Elder Qi,

to be honest,

medical skills in my hometown

are far more advanced than yours.

My mother said,

when a woman is pregnant,

she can't have body contact

with a strange man,

especially someone like Dr. Huang,

an old man in the doctor's robe.

If they have hidden diseases,

the baby may be infected

and then hurt.

Elder Qi!

How about this?

He can feel your pulse through the string.

What?

Really strange.

I've never seen this pulse before.

Never.

How's the baby?

Sorry, but I can't feel

whether the baby is all right.

Quite different, right?

Looks like I can't keep it anymore.

Actually, I was lucky enough

to have had a dream of beast ancestors.

They said the baby I was carrying

was the once-in-a-century royal heir.

In case I give away this secret,

I don't dare to have a doctor feel my pulse.

Now that you knew it,

I had to tell you the truth.

Is that so?

Yes.

Oh, I see.

I was too ignorant to know that.

Your Grace, the baby you're carrying

is the future King.

The wedding can't be delayed anymore.

El... Elder,

there's no need to rush.

There is.

You're pregnant,

but you haven't married His Majesty yet.

If people know it, that'd be embarrassing.

But Elder, I...

That's settled, then.

I will not

let this baby suffer.

He will grow up

in love and care.

Give the order.

The wedding will be held in three days.

Three days, exactly.

Aye.

If the wedding goes smoothly,

your family can be mitigated, too.

All right.

As you please, Elder Qi.

So, Ma Yingxiong and his men...

Can they be released in advance?

They can't be released

until they're vindicated.

Don't worry.

We just need to find Chun'er.

Ma Yingxiong purposely poisoned His Majesty

and he has to be punished.

Elders decide

that working in the city will be his punishment.

After he's released,

he'll have to plant 100 trees.

Your Grace, your chamber

should be heavily guarded, too.

Actually, I don't need

to stay in the chamber all day long.

I should often take a walk

and have more fresh air.

He's the once-in-a-century royal heir, after all.

He needs to absorb something from nature.

In this case, you don't need to be guarded.

But you mustn't behave as wildly as before.

Sure, sure.

How many more lies to tell

and how much more to suffer?

Let's ask people separately.

- Aye.
- Aye.

Aye.

No.

Madam,

did you see a lady in green?

Like this tall.

Did you see a lady in green?

Have you ever seen a lady in green?

She's fair-skinned.

No, no.

Chun'er is nowhere to be found.

Can she be...

His Majesty ordered us to search hard.

We have to find her, however long it takes.

Madam,

may I ask you something?

What madam?

Call her Miss.

Miss,

did you see the lady in this portrait?

Yes.

- Yes?
- You did?

Of course.

Some days ago, she nearly

pissed me off.

Stealing away my business, huh?

We're doing business fairly.

Miss,

I keep the good sachets at home.

Would you like to go home with me?

Do you remember what that woman looks like?

She wore a curtained hat

as if she was too ashamed to be seen.

She looked wicked.

Do you know where she was heading?

That way.

Haonan, Dayu!

Go check that lane with me.

Aye.

Go.

Let's check from door to door.

- Aye.
- Aye.

Here.

Go.

Haonan, you go ahead.

Yes.

Did you see a woman?

Like this tall.

No.

Commander Bai,

Chun'er is here.

Chun'er.

She's alive.

Take her back first.

Yes.

Commander Bai,

the residual poison is gone.

After a few days' regular diets,

she'll recover.

We found Chun'er,

so she would live.

Doctor,

are you sure

she didn't have other wounds?

Some internal wounds from a recent fight,

for example.

No.

She was poisoned with the Debilitating Powder

and she's weak for having nothing to eat for days.

Thank you, doctor.

Chun'er.

Chun'er, you're awake.

Deputy Commander Hu Die.

Commander Bai.

Water for her.

Here. Have some water.

Slow, slow.

I'm hungry.

Here.

Have something to eat.

Slowly. Don't get choked.

Take some rest for recuperation these days.

Don't think about anything.

Doctor confirmed Chun'er had no internal wound.

It indicates

that she wasn't the one who fought His Majesty.

That day, His Majesty did a powerful attack.

The one who fought him

would definitely be wounded.

If you were also this calm and careful

when you talked to Her Grace,

that would be great.

Why did you bring her up?

Because I cared about you.

Look.

His Majesty is marrying Her Grace soon.

As a minister,

you mustn't mess with her.

Who messes with her?

She isn't good enough for His Majesty.

Come on, don't push it.

It's your fault.

You were being insensitive.

Fine, fine.

I'll say no more, then.

No more.

I heard you found Chun'er.

What have you got?

Now, we've confirmed

that Chun'er didn't fight His Majesty.

She's very weak now

and will be further interrogated later.

Now, we can't rule out

whether she's a confederate.

Please have your men guard over her.

I'll go report to His Majesty.

Let's go.

That's basically the case.

Your Majesty, when will we interrogate Chun'er?

Let her rest for today.

Tomorrow, make Ma Yingxiong confront her.

Aye.

It's...

Your Majesty, are you going to see Her Grace?

Yes.

She's very concerned.

I'm going to tell her what happened.

Hope this roast chicken

will make Her Grace understand you.

I should go.

Come on, Your Grace.

He's such a great king

that you can't get a second one.

Your Grace, what's wrong?

You look quite spiritless.

If someone you trusted deceived you,

you would feel the same.

Deceived?

Who dared to deceive you, Your Grace?

Go tell His Majesty

and he will punish that man.

Without your king,

this might not even happen.

Oh, no, Your Grace.

Elder Qi asked me

to prepare some decoction
for miscarriage prevention.

I nearly forgot that.

I'm on it right now.

Come on, what did I do wrong?

Roast chicken?

Check what this is.

Roast chicken?

But people here don't eat meat.

How did you get it?

I especially bribed someone

and got it for you, Your Grace.

This great thing should be shared.

So... Sorry.

Who's there?

Li Xiong?

Did Kui Mulang send you?

You're no longer my guard.

You don't need to do this.

Kui Mulang didn't send me.

I wanted to come.

And I'm here to tell you

that Chun'er is found.

Where is she?

I'm going to see her now.

Be patient.

Chun'er is very weak now.

Kui Mulang said,

tomorrow,

when she recovered a little,

she would confront Ma Yingxiong

and be interrogated together.

So,

the missing maid isn't dead.

I heard she would be interrogated tomorrow.

Kui Mulang is having me spied on.

We can't try to k*ll that maid again.

And that man...

We can't contact him anymore.

Let's bide our time.

And, don't contact Xiniang for the moment

in case you're exposed.

Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness.

I'm not concerned,

but reminding you.

If you're exposed,

I'll be caught, too.

Yes.

I understand.

Any more dishes? Get them to me.

Your Grace,

why did you eat so many vegetables today?

No more meat will be available.

I must get used to that.

I know you're sad,

but you can't eat that much at one time.

It's bad for your health.

Who says I'm sad?

You're not?

I...

You love to eat meat.

When you force yourself not to eat any,

you'll certainly feel unaccustomed.

I just don't want to feel like that.

It takes only three days to get rid of a habit.,

And every habit can be kicked.

Miss Chun'er?

Miss Chun'er,

what a surprise to meet you here!

What do you want? Don't come over.

You... You can't recognize me?

I'm Yingxiong.

Oh, come on.

We're not that close.

Why not?

You delivered food to me.

At the door, you were tripped

and you fell into my arms.

I even smelt your hair.

You... Shut up!

You're a general

and how could you talk nonsense

to defame me?

But...

Her Grace told me

you were poisoned by some bad guy.

So, it wasn't you

who delivered food to me.

It wasn't me, of course.

The woman who sold sachets

tricked me into that lane.

Come on. Get in, please.

This is where you live?

Yes.

Come on, Miss. Smell it.

Is this the balm you want?

The Debilitating Powder works so perfectly.

With this,

you'll sleep for a few days.

Then...

You praised me for being loyal

and handsome...

It wasn't you, huh?

How... How would I say something like that?

Then your feelings for me...

I have no feelings for you.

I'm an innocent single girl.

Stop saying that!

Miss Chun'er,

I was tricked by a wicked woman

and I betrayed you!

Miss Chun'er,

that wicked woman fooled me.

How awful!

Your Majesty,

Chun'er and Ma Yingxiong seem to be innocent.

Summon the three Elders

for a discussion in the hall.

And...

Summon Princess Qi Pa, too.

Aye.

[Boyue Hall]

Bring them up.

Aye.

Elders,

according to Ma Yingxiong,

this maid gave him the Debilitating Powder.

But the maid who fought me

in the forest

was wounded by me.

And this maid

has no wounds.

When Ma Yingxiong confronted her,

they gave totally different testimonies.

So, I guess

someone impersonated Chun'er

to seduce Ma Yingxiong

so that Princess Qi Pa and I would be hurt.

Is that so?

But you give no evidence of that, Your Majesty.

Elders, have you heard

about Stewardess Qing, a palace maid

who is good at impersonation?

She even impersonated Princess Qi Pa.

I guess it was her again.

We've heard about Stewardess Qing.

But she died, didn't she?

In the fire, the body was burned

beyond recognition.

Now, I realize

it was the escape plan of Stewardess Qing.

She's good at impersonation,

but she doesn't dare to assassinate me,

by disguising as someone close to me.

In case I recognize her, I guess.

So, she could only do such dirty tricks.

It's wise of you, Your Majesty.

Then Your Majesty,

who do you think is behind Stewardess Qing?

Elders,

do you remember the revolt five years ago?

Your Majesty, you think this female assassin

has something to do with that?

Exactly.

We get it.

What happened five years ago

has nothing to do with Her Grace's men.

Ma Yingxiong is a mere general,

but he's very loyal to Her Grace.

I think he must have been a tool.

Then this case...

It must be someone else

who hurt His Majesty

and assassinated Her Grace.

I'm declaring

Her Grace's men are innocent.

As for Chun'er...

Whether she colluded with the assassin from inside

hasn't been verified.

Somebody.

Take Chun'er away, watch for her,

and interrogate her seriously.

- Aye.
- Elders,

I'm innocent!

I... I really didn't do that.

How could I ever do that?

I...

Elders,

Your Majesty,

Chun'er has a naturally kind heart.

I can assure you with my life

that she wouldn't do that thing.

Chun'er is a wonderful girl.

Enlightened by Her Grace,

I thought about it carefully.

Chun'er would never do anything

to seduce me.

And now, she flatly denies it.

The result of the investigation
proves something, too.

So, I'm very sure

that I was being silly!

It's all my fault!

k*ll me as you wish!

But please don't get Chun'er involved!

Ma Yingxiong, calm down.

Who would k*ll you?

Your Grace,

you're pregnant.

You should calm down.

Rest assured, Elder.

The baby is safe with me.

Your Majesty,

I think Chun'er is just a victim.

Think about it.

If Chun'er was the traitor,

why did she come back here

instead of running away?

After the investigations,

she's now the one to watch for.

How can she still be the mole?

Madam Xiong.

The baby needs some rest.

Her Grace must be tired, too.

Take Her Grace back to her chamber.

Who are you? What are you doing?

I'm not finished yet.

Wait.

Elders,

she's one of the most important victims.

Let her share her concerns.

Your Grace,

thank you for defending me.

Come on, girl,

I'm not the only one who helps you.

Your Majesty,

Chun'er did something wrong.

She shouldn't have trusted someone that easily.

So, she was fooled.

But a victim like her isn't guilty.

Our top priority is

to catch the real mole.

We can't accuse an innocent girl.

Your Majesty and Elders,

I've investigated quite a lot of cases.

As far as I see,

Chun'er must have been a tool.

Cuties,

this is unbelievable.

Are you speaking for me?

I'm not.

I just made my own point.

I quite agree.

Elders, what do you think?

How about this, Your Majesty?

Chun'er must be punished.

No interrogation, though.

Planting 100 trees behind the hill

just like Ma Yingxiong

will be her punishment.

Thank you, Elders. Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Elders.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Thank you, Deputy Commander.

And...

Bai Ke and Hu Die,

I'll leave the rest to you.

You must figure out who's behind this.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Elders,

let's call it a day.

Madam Xiong,

walk Her Grace back to her chamber

and let her rest.

Also, inform everyone in the Palace

to prepare the best for His Majesty's wedding.

Without fail!

Yes.

No way. Objection!

You...

Objection!

This is the palace business

and you have no right to object.

Overruled.

Get back to business, everyone.

But...

Thank you, Deputy Commander.

Thank you, Deputy Commander.

What is it?

Invitation.

[Kui Mulang's Wedding Invitation]

To His Majesty's wedding?

Your Royal Highness,

during today's interrogation,

His Majesty suspected that man.

Only suspicion, though.

Well, that's good.

And,

His Majesty is having
his wedding invitations handed out.

Everyone has it, as I'm told.

That man meditated a big plan,

but instead of being hurt,

Kui Mulang is even getting married.

Exactly.

Now, the Palace is blowing up.

Qi Pa, Qi Pa!

What makes this woman special?

Sometimes, love is just like the wind.

It blows so...

Shut up.

Kui Mulang hasn't got

any hard evidence.

Go contact Xiniang

and tell her I want to see that man.

I can't just wait like this.

I have to do something.

Aye.

Your Royal Highness,

the wedding will be held

and will you go?

Yes.

Why would I not?

I'd like to witness

my brother's grand wedding.

Put it here.

All right.

Come on.

Water it.

All right. Here it goes.

And here.

Miss Chun'er, there you are.

General Ma,

thank you for defending me that hard.

Before...

Before, I misunderstood you.

I'm so...

Please forgive me, General.

Don't say that.

I did something wrong, indeed.

And I truly wanted to defend you.

I'll do this hard work for you.

You just sit aside and rest.

I can't do that. I...

Why can't you?

How about this?

If you feel sorry,

make me something to eat.

Something to eat?

I'm very good at that.

General,

if you have some favorite dishes,

don't hesitate to tell me.

Let me go get you some water.

Sorry.

General,

you haven't told me

what food you love most.

I grew up in the army

and I've lived a rough life.

I just like steamed buns with pickles.

Then wait, General.

I'm going back to the Imperial Kitchen
and make some for you.

Your Royal Highness.

My invitation is here?

[Invitation]

No.

It's for me.

What?

Even you're invited,

but I'm not?

Darn it, Kui Mulang!

You've pushed me too far!
