Since my sister’s in love with him now I won’t stand in her way Her happiness is what matters If tonight’s incident gets leaked my sister’s virtue would be ruined No decent family would take her With this scandal unfolding If we don’t kill this madman you’re slapping the royal face I have a solution Father Emperor Have the Hanlin scholars compose a romantic tale of scholars That way no one will gossip about the Princess Mother Empress Sè’er Your diplomatic thinking All these years I’ve wronged you I’ll personally find you a worthy husband I don’t want that I finally returned to your side, Father I just want to stay with you General Xiao Princess If you’re hurting you don’t need to pretend in front of me You had me followed? General, what’s.. General, what are you.. Your Highness I merely wish to spare the Princess from grieving over unworthy men I intended to honor our agreement but since the General shows no interest let us forget it Princess.. Pray cease mocking me with this matter henceforth You depart for the northern frontier on the third dawn This protective charm I beseeched for you days past I’ve never shared with others these arrangements Your Highness, how did you.. Regarding Master’s affairs this disciple dares not be negligent Master？ Indeed I wish to learn martial arts from you Princess.. Martial training brings bitter toil Why would you.. Should our land face turmoil someday I’d wield arms to defend it Princess, you should rest The General’s summoned to council return time uncertain Third Princess.. Long has our paths diverged Princess San, long time no see Shu’er, see our guest out Se’er I misunderstood you last time In your past life, to gain my trust you sought my mother’s spy network You obeyed my every whim How blind I was! Don’t call me Se’er It makes me sick Se’er.. You still resent me, don’t you? Rest assured I’ve only ever loved you Though you’re lowborn unlike the noble First Princess I’ll find a way to make you my official consort I must’ve been blind before to not see through your true nature as a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Song Jinse! Know your place! You’re just a lowly maid who returned to the palace You’re isolated and powerless and you’ve angered the Empress You’ll die without knowing what hit you! You’ve no right to bark at me! Song Jinse! Daring to seduce the princess’s consort! What’s your defense? Princess I’ve told her countless times I don’t love her My heart belongs to the First Princess Who would’ve thought a royal princess would stoop so low? Seducing her own sister’s husband! Have you no shame? Exactly! Look at your shabby clothes! How dare you show your face? Miss your brothel days? What I discarded you treat as treasure How utterly pathetic How dare you insult me, wench! Guards! Take her away! Punish her per palace rules! Halt! I heard someone dares touch this general’s property! I heard Someone wants to get rid of my subordinate My apologies, Princess I arrived late General Xiao My sister is naive She even dares to steal your fiancé? I’m disciplining her on the Emperor’s behalf Stay out of this, General Oh? Is that so? You’ve taken a liking to Chu Jing? What? I’d never stoop to dumpster diving for trash Eldest Princess! Do you think the Third Princess needs Chu Jing with me around? He looks passable at first glance but compared to General Xiao he’s far inferior Princess You’re pathetic Wait Xiao Yunchen! Song Jinse! Mark my words— I’ll repay today’s humiliation Your Majesty the Empress the Fifth Prince is unwell today The Emperor has gone to Consort Shu Thank you, Chamberlain Mother Empress The Fifth Prince is always ‘unwell’ How long has it been since Father visited us? Your Majesty I have a plan to eliminate two threats with one strike Today is Chu’er’s birthday And Ran’er has just returned home What a double blessing! Your Majesty.. This is specially commissioned by me crafted by master artisans for Fifth Brother May he grow up healthy and safe Ran’er has matured well This gift.. Your thoughtfulness stands out Thank you, Emperor Father Forgive this offense, Your Majesty The Fifth Prince had another episode He’s barely recovered Has the imperial physician examined him? Hmm Come here Let me check him Come Let me see Why is he thinner again? This isn’t illness—it’s poisoning But why has the timeline changed? It occurred much earlier than before Your Majesty, the prince needs his medicine Time to take your medicine Third Sister, feed me Third Sister, feed me! This tonic’s supposedly harmless… Let’s see what tricks you’re hiding The children get along wonderfully My stomach hurts! My stomach hurts Summon the imperial physician immediately! The Fifth Prince was clearly poisoned with slow-acting poison before Why is it suddenly acting so fast? Could it be.. Your Majesty the Fifth Prince has been poisoned with Bloodmoon Flower toxin from Mobei As I suspected! The odorless Bloodmoon Flower poison How dare! Anyone who handled this medicine is to be arrested immediately! All of the Fifth Prince’s medicine has been documented by me I beg Your Majesty’s fair judgment Bring me my medical chest Wait! Sister Consort Shu Third Princess also touched the medicine earlier. Did you record that? Father I’ve always been close with Fifth Brother. How could I.. poison him? All involved with the medicine shall be executed! Unless someone confesses the mastermind now! Third Princess I can’t commit evil deeds for you anymore! Your Majesty Third Princess’ courtyard contains numerous Bloodmoon Flowers She once ordered me to poison the Fifth Prince and beat me when I refused! Do you have proof? This is the poisonous powder Your Majesty this powder is indeed made from Bloodmoon Flowers You wretch! Song Jinse! I’ve always treated you well Why poison my son? Father! I didn’t poison him! No! Fifth Prince! Your Highness! Father I can save him! Please trust me this once! Third Princess I bear you no ill will Why harm my son? I’m trying to save him How dare you lie! Guards! Arrest her! So Yunchen replaced the Imperial Guards with his own men What’s the meaning of this? Are you rebelling? Chujing You hindered me from saving Fifth Prince What’s your scheme? Your Majesty Empress Mother We’ve found blood curse flowers grown in Third Princess’ courtyard How dare you, Song Jinse! Growing poisonous flowers in the palace and harming royalty—confess! How does Empress know I harmed him instead of healing him? Your Majesty The poison is receding This is progress! Blood curse flowers do grow in my palace But in my plants there’s one difference— my flowers are harmless Outrageous! You claim they’re safe? Should laws bend to your word? I can prove it I can prove it You Your Majesty This is the native Bloodcrest Flower I brought from the Northern Desert Compared to the Third Princess’s version there’s one distinct difference The root structure Though highly toxic it possesses pain-relieving properties However, it’s dangerously addictive and causes severe physical harm I cultivated Darkmyst Herb alongside the Bloodcrest Flower to neutralize its toxicity Following this formula the pill I gave Fifth Brother contains purified Darkmyst Herb Once the trials succeed we’ll deploy it to our military If it’s truly unused how can you guarantee its safety? Eunuch Wang kindly present the procurement records to His Majesty as well Toxic Bloodcrest Flower dissolves in water colorless and odorless In small doses it evades silver needle detection Prolonged consumption leads to dependency Regarding the powder Qin’er mentioned the Imperial Household Department maintains a Rare Artifacts Archive Recently Northern Desert envoys delivered ten Bloodcrest Flowers Your Majesty could verify if any are missing Sire Two Bloodcrest Flowers are unaccounted for According to records in the past six months the only person accessing the Rare Artifacts Archive was Her Majesty the Queen How dare you! You dare slander this Queen? Why so hasty, Empress? I’m merely stating facts Qin’er was simply.. Confess! Who ordered you to poison Fifth Prince? and frame me for it? Your Majesty, this servant didn’t.. I never.. Witnesses and evidence are here How dare you deny it? Need I remind you? Your family remains in my grasp Understood This lowly one knows No one commanded me I envied you myself Stole the Crimson Lotus.. …to frame you Se’er Your own handmaiden Deal with her yourself Handmaiden Qin’er defamed this Princess Guards! Take her away and execute her! Third Princess! I beg forgiveness! Third Princess! Empress, save me! Mercy, Your Majesty! Today I cleanse the palace Yu’er Mother has avenged you Now.. I’ll take them down one by one Princess The Empress planted spies among our maids All have been removed Hmm Consort Shu has arrived This humble consort begs.. I thank Third Princess for saving Chu’er Rise quickly One more entreaty, Your Highness Protect Chu’er’s safety let him grow in peace My loyalty is yours henceforth Aren’t you worried, Your Majesty? Since the Fifth Prince’s incident His Majesty visits Consort Shu daily Third Princess also frequents her quarters Our eldest princess has left the palace Yet those outside the palace.. …will be my greatest assets Send them a message Have them obtain for me that ancient painting Understood The painting.. You said the Gambling King Tournament prize is this exact painting It holds clues to locate the greatest intelligence network – Feihua Tang Feihua Tang was founded by my late mother Its time has come This means..

You— The rules of Springnight Pavilion aren’t yours to question you insignificant whelp Pei Lan The Pei Clan of Jiangdong— controls half of Western Song’s wealth feared even by court officials Play by the rules, and welcome Break them.. and die This entire realm belongs to my Imperial Father When did it become your rabble’s business to dictate terms? Shall I demolish your brothel this instant? As a princess such tyranny— unbecoming Care to challenge me? This painting will be mine, Masked Hero’s word! Let’s gamble then In my past life with Chu Jing we sought this ancient artwork— only to lose it But I remember the winner’s final bet Song Yanran let’s settle this in one round I’ll bet on big This includes everything I brought today and all my possessions— even my royal estate!

Soon enough Fortunately I remember the guards’ patrol routes from past lives The Queen approaches! The Empress arrives! Song Jinse Princess Didn’t even have time to change? Caught red-handed In my own palace I wear what I want The Empress has no authority here! Third Princess violated curfew and left the palace unauthorized By imperial law shall be punished with needles Put it down! Hey! What are you doing? Back off! Shu’er Princess Who dares question the Imperial Guards’ competence? A dog is just a dog— you’ll never be human Little fool How dare you steal from me? My mother the Empress can make your life hell!

Princess What is the meaning of your action? Are you unharmed? Shu’er Summon the imperial physician Physician! Fetch the physician at once! Are you injured? Such insolence! Empress How dare you administer punishment in the palace? I would never dare, Your Majesty This concubine heard the Third Princess left the palace without permission defying imperial protocols Therefore, acting according to palace regulations I simply— Se’er ventured out to acquire medicine for my persistent cough I’ve spoiled you far too much in the past letting you act without restraint Empress Su is confined to quarters for half a month Consort Shu shall oversee the inner court Song Yanran is barred from the palace without summons Chu Jing forfeits half-month’s stipend I obey the decree Your leg injury remains unhealed, Princess Why rush to decipher these texts now?

Such a trivial matter and you’re panicking like this? She’s live and the missing painting If our affairs reach the Emperor’s ears The painting already become public enemy number one Others will naturally help us kill her Who? Master of Chunxiao Pavilion Pei Lan Your Highness are you unharmed? Princess General Xiao has sent word The frontlines proceed smoothly His troops will return to the capital soon Come, Princess Shu’er Any news from Consort Shu’s quarters? What Her Ladyship retrieved from the vault was the late Empress’ relic This symbol.. It’s..

It’s Chunxiao Pavilion Feihua Hall’s contact location is at Chunxiao Pavilion Where exactly? Why is it empty? Thank you, Third Princess for retrieving the token Thank you, Third Princess For finding the token So all of this.. Was Manager Pei’s scheme When we met at the casino I knew you’d resolve my dilemma, Princess intervened slightly to ensure your success Now that you’ve returned this won’t make my deal unprofitable, right? What if I told you I don’t have the token? Stop joking! You’re the Third Princess! If Manager Pei doubts me I can’t change that If you refuse to hand it over I’ll have to act Attack! Manager Pei! I’ll take my leave first Song Jinse! Surrender the Feihua Tang token immediately Or I won’t hold back I’m the Third Princess of Xisong! Defy me and face the Emperor’s wrath! Hahaha! If the Princess sneaks out at night and meets misfortune outside.. How could I be blamed? Master, weren’t you at the frontline? I returned early to protect you Go! Xiao Yunchen! Does your leg still hurt? Not anymore Let me help you Bear with this Mhm Master How did you know about the secret chamber in Chunxiao Pavilion? I was just passing by I don’t believe you Master, you’re lying Naughty I didn’t! When you lie your expression changes I swear I’m not lying! Sit down now Your leg hasn’t healed Your leg is injured Stop being stubborn From now on you’re forbidden to investigate Feihua Tang matters It’s the last thing my mother left me Song Jinse Stay in the manor and recover Master Master Princess, Consort Shufei has arrived No need Third Princess Following your leads I investigated Lüzhu from Spring Night Pavilion This investigation uncovered something shocking Who would have thought? She’s actually the former maid of late Empress Su Cui’er Such hidden connections.. Hmm Moreover since joining Spring Night Pavilion she’s lived luxuriously but never entertained clients Your Highness, why do you think? Powerful patronage Exactly as you suspect After Empress Su’s incident all her attendants were secretly executed Yet Lüzhu survived Clearly Her Majesty the Empress remains in the dark Ninth Imperial Uncle？ Lüzhu carries Prince Jiu’s child Your Grace It seems we must prepare a grand spectacle for Empress Su Thank you, Your Grace The Hua Hall token vanished Lüzhu’s our only lead now Your Majesty Song Jinse still lives? Incredible! Today I’ve specially arranged a welcome banquet for our illustrious General Xiao to honor his military exploits General Xiao please take your seat Thank you, Your Majesty Imperial Father this daughter wishes to toast the Empress privately Hmm Empress it’s been a long time I’ve heard that recently Spring Dawn Pavilion collapsed Third Princess wasn’t injured? Spring Dawn’s collapse has nothing to do with me! Empress I’ve also heard you recently fell gravely ill Could it be guilt weighing on your conscience? Take care of your health the road ahead is long It’s anyone’s game who will emerge victorious Then let’s wait and see For this second toast I’d honor Ninth Imperial Uncle Third Princess has been frequenting Spring Dawn Pavilion Her drinking capacity improves Indeed I’ve recently heard many rumors Third Sister you bring Father much honor Eldest Sister truly Father’s dutiful daughter Even outside the palace Knowing Father’s recent concerns about military supplies I donated half my fortune Only then could I return to Father’s side By the way Had I not visited Spring Dawn I wouldn’t know Ninth Uncle has such joyous news I hereby congratulate Ninth Uncle What joyous news? Speak quickly! Father Since childhood I’ve heard Ninth Uncle lived ascetically and never took a wife This weighs on my heart If your uncle refuses marriage I cannot force him Then let me congratulate you instead Your heartache will soon be cured Third Sister you’ve become increasingly sharp-tongued Must you stretch a single sentence? Are you intentionally teasing Father’s curiosity? Speaking of which congratulations to Eldest Sister Song Jinse If you have something to say stop being cryptic! Your Majesty seems rather agitated This matter appears unrelated to Your Highness, does it not? Third Princess need not be cryptic I shall observe with interest what joyous occasion this is This Prince remains unaware yet Third Princess claims knowledge Se’er, speak plainly Imperial Father these past years, Ninth Imperial Uncle has maintained a cherished companion of tender affection She now carries his natural heir within her womb residing at Spring Dawn Pavilion Imperial physicians confirm the pregnancy’s legitimacy Likely a male heir Preposterous! Truth or falsehood Ninth Uncle would know best Brothel women bear no right to royal offspring This unborn child should be swiftly terminated Her Majesty’s cruelty knows bounds Though Green Pearl resides below her virtue shines bright She maintained chastity while serving Ninth Uncle Ninth Uncle’s heart has known only this woman’s touch By law and custom we must protect this child’s royal lineage Moreover.. Green Pearl shares history with Her Majesty herself How could Your Majesty show such callousness? What are you implying? Green Pearl is none other than Your Majesty’s former chambermaid Cui’er Cui’er Royal blood demands proper birthright No brothel-born heir suffices This humble consort begs imperial sanction for marriage Even as secondary consort she merits recognition The child deserves protection from slanderous tongues Noble Consort Shu speaks true Imperial lineage must remain untainted and secure Ninth Brother your judgment? Your Imperial Majesty Let Green Pearl enter as a concubine initially After delivery, we shall elevate her status Congratulations, Ninth Uncle Se’er’s tireless efforts at Spring Dawn Pavilion have borne worthy fruit Or rather we should say Ninth Aunt Third Princess schemes thoroughly in Ninth Uncle’s affairs Merely fulfilling familial duties, dear sister Ah, one more.. Congratulations, Eldest Sister on gaining another royal brother Jinse Song Don’t celebrate too soon Someone will deal with you today Lüzhu’s just a lowly servant I have countless ways to handle her Go Come Xiao Chen, protect someone for me Understood Pei Lan Our goals align, Your Majesty I only want Jinse Song eliminated As for what you desire.. That can be arranged Her Majesty the Empress holds power Why involve a commoner? The General’s victory banquet.. When the time comes we’ll need the Pei family heirloom luminous pearl The General’s valor and prowess have defended our nation This banquet is the perfect moment for blessings Your Majesty recall the Jiangdong Pei clan? The Jiangdong Pei clan is Western Song’s wealthiest family I remember clearly Rumors circulate among the people of an ill-omened palace figure affecting our nation’s fortune A high-ranking princess, no less I’ve specially invited the Jiangdong Pei clan to borrow their luminous pearl for a public verification We request Your Majesty’s witness Her Majesty has informed me of your intentions Explain in detail I’m the Pei clan’s 30th-generation heir from Jiangdong All know our ancestral luminous pearl can ward off misfortune Grant this humble subject permission to calm the populace What’s required? Both princesses must approach and touch the pearl So it was me you were after Third Sister refuses to come Is she afraid? Father Since Third Sister’s return chaos has reigned in the palace If she’s proven to be the cursed one please banish her from the palace to protect Western Song’s fortune If it is truly Se’er Though it pains us we must prioritize the realm If that’s the case then we have no choice— Your Majesty Third Princess cares for the people She can’t possibly— Father! I don’t fear the divination itself but rather.. schemes to frame me With me here who dares scheme against you? Though you say that I still wish— to have proof for my peace Speak The test proves I’m the cursed one I’ll depart without command I’ll cause no trouble But if not Empress must remember— your earlier words That goes without saying Any threat to Western Song’s fate— even my own Yanran— will face justice Fear not, Se’er I’ll show no favoritism OK I’ll take the test Don’t worry Be careful Hmm As expected of Third Princess Still so composed What does Mr. Pei wish to discuss? Last time Spring Night Pavilion half collapsed If Third Princess wishes to survive the victory banquet unharmed.. Perhaps consider how to compensate my losses first Why not marry me instead? Joke! After this, all of Jiangdong will be at your command You jest, Mr. Pei You and the Empress framed me This isn’t merely about wanting to marry me How astute, Third Princess The Pei Clan does have a request That Flying Flower Hall token.. Cold Toxin This poison of yours came from your stepmother, didn’t it? Enduring Cold Toxin daily must be living hell You crave the Flying Flower Hall token only because it holds the antidote formula Yet I as the late Empress’s sole daughter can cure you Mr. Pei Now you have two choices Choose: Me or the Empress?

Or I’ll tear that mouth apart! Outrageous! Do you possess any dignity befitting your status? Imperial Father! You’ve watched Yanran grow how could she be cursed? This must be a mistake A grave error! Father Emperor! Does this imperial palace hold no place for your own daughter? The Empress’s decree was final yet now you retract it! Was this scheme designed solely to entrap your own child? Your Majesty still doubts? Let the Third Princess test again! The Divine Maiden! She’s truly blessed! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Western Song’s future will prosper Impossible! Blasphemous lies!

I’ll have your head! Prioritize the nation, Your Majesty! Song Jinsu! Your tricks end now I’ll destroy you! I’ll kill you Look at what you’ve become This is utterly unbecoming! Where is the dignity befitting a royal princess? Your Majesty Empress Su shall pray in the temple The eldest princess Song Yanran is exiled to Royal Temple to become a nun without shaving The Third Princess’s birthday next month will have a belated coming-of-age ceremony Your Majesty is most wise You promised to silence Song Jinse permanently I’m merely a profiteer Does Your Highness still want to deal with me? You— Is this act of loyalty to Your Highness’s satisfaction? How dare you mock me!

Any secrets you’re keeping? There’s just one thing I can’t figure out Why would the Grand General from an illustrious family care so much about someone like me? A powerless girl plucked from the wilderness Because you’re you The Feihua Hall’s token must be found at all costs Pei Lan He is useful Just trust me with this and I’ll handle the rest You came Tell me— was Lüzhu your doing? You swore I was your only love!

I heard she’s been sending people to investigate Xiao Yunchen Could they be.. Isn’t that little thing probing her mother’s death?

Every word I speak is true Consort Su conspired to.. leave the Empress with no escape.. colluded with the Northern Desert.. all to orchestrate.. the Empress’s demise The letters between Consort Su.. and the Northern Desert King.. I stole one of their letters The evidence is here.. Your Majesty will see the truth Yes Your Majesty, You wench! The Empress and I treated you well.. yet you plotted against us! Such wickedness! Hmph! This letter is forged! That maid must be.. in Song Jinsè’s employ! Your Majesty, I’ve been framed! Your Majesty.. This concubine is innocent! Sire.. Father Emperor.. This servant.. was the Third Princess’s gift.. to Ninth Prince’s household Who’s to say.. they aren’t conspiring together? Ninth Brother, explain this Imperial Brother.. This woman resulted from my.. momentary lapse in judgment When I refused to make her consort.. she grew vengeful My friendship with the Minister.. became her tool to frame others She blackmailed me! This is my fault.. for letting this viper remain But Brother.. Though Lü Zhu erred.. the Third Princess manipulated.. her into this scheme We beg Your Majesty’s wise judgment Sè’er..

I’ve broken that vow I don’t blame you I was drugged! Nothing happened, I swear! She’s meant for the Emperor! If you touched her they’ll charge you with treasonous rebellion by dawn! Treason?!

Inspect my armies— examine every soldier Not one is missing As for Princess Mobei I’ve arranged for her examination Let’s go, Princess Mobei. Xiao Yunchen!

If memory serves, I personally assigned him to safeguard you. Your Majesty, I’ve committed no betrayal— no disloyal acts. It’s Xiao Yunchen! He stole my seal, Everyone knows he schemes rebellion! Empress! Cease these baseless accusations. From the start, you’ve stirred this turmoil. Back when Northern Desert soldiers fell ill the late Empress personally treated them But Queen Su secretly altered the prescription Not only poisoning the Empress she caused our army’s devastating defeat Later the late Empress discovered her blood could neutralize the poison She sacrificed her life’s blood to save every soldier And I.. am one of those soldiers she saved that day Mother Empress, your daughter proved your innocence! No! Your Majesty, they frame me! Your Majesty, I’m innocent! All these years.. Why didn’t you speak? Your Majesty!

Your mother founded the Feihua Society for what purpose? For what? Why would I reveal that Confess to me now and I’ll plead leniency at your trial tomorrow The Emperor hasn’t deposed me! I remain the Empress! The Emperor adores me! The Ninth Prince will— Once I’m free I’ll have you and this little cutie dismembered! Still daydreaming? See these women? They’ll share your fate Or perhaps yours? Madam Su! I’ll make your existence here unbearable Song Zhuo I know you love me You won’t abandon me.. Save me!

Se’er! Se’er! Se’er We intended to let Third Princess to properly celebrate her birthday today Commander Chu Jing of Imperial Guards you will answer for your negligence Emergency report: The Northern Desert envoy approaches the capital Ministers assemble immediately for council meeting Minister Xiao ensure Se’er’s safety As commanded Chu Jing This general never dismissed you His Majesty issued no punishment why obey a brute like you? Kneel properly! Imperial Guard Commander Chu Jing endangering Third Princess’ life effective immediately: Replace all guard details Chu Jing forfeits six months’ salary. Recurrence means execution Your decree is law Hypocrite! Why are YOU here? Celebrating Her Highness’ birthday Objections? Unacceptable Xiao Chen! Escort him out Her Highness grants me free access Brainless oaf! Seems you’re unaware: The Princess herself treats my cold poison I’m Her Highness’ destined companion Oh, by the way If anything happens to our boss you’ll answer to me personally General Xiao The princess is out of danger Se’er! You’re awake. Are you thirsty? Thirsty? Hungry? Need water? Boss Anything you want to eat or play just tell me Even if it’s the moon in the sky I’ll get it for you Oh, and. . . I’ve prepared millennium ginseng and ten-thousand-year lingzhi for your recovery Plus more tonics I’ve assigned elite guards They’re amphibious troops and mountain warfare experts From now on you’ll have comprehensive 24/7 protection This kind of incident will never happen again General, Pei Lan Enough from both of you The princess needs rest I overheard something about Mobei. . . The Mobei envoy is coming to the capital The inevitable approaches You little rascal Chu Jing, how dare you hit me? You used my guards without permission and acted alone! I nearly lost my official hat today Do you realize that? Song Jinse murdered my mother! Their faction has collapsed The King of Mobei is soon arriving This is my last chance to regain power You use people and discard them Now I finally see you for who you are Guards! GUARDS! Your command Keep her under close watch No one leaves without my orders You’ll regret this, Chu Jing! Summon the Mobei envoy! Western Song is still weak after reforms Why would Mobei’s king come now? Is this a show of force? We can’t underestimate Mobei’s strength Without General Xiao, our kingdom would.. Your Majesty Such poor etiquette! They say Western Song values proper decorum Yet when I arrive.. not even a seat is offered! Our seats are reserved for ordinary guests For distinguished visitors like you we have special accommodations You.. How dare you Proceed then You dare offer me a dog leash post as seating?! Hahaha! This is the esteemed princess of Western Song The holy maiden who doomed the Empress Most impressive indeed How dare you! Have you forgotten you’re standing on Western Song soil? But I must say.. you’ve got rather striking features Would you consider coming to Mobei to be our queen? The Grand Princess Defender of Western Song is beyond the reach of a petty schemer like you Minister Xiao, lower your sword first I summoned you to the capital not to indulge in theatrics By His Majesty’s decree to discuss the Mount Ling armistice agreement Your Majesty It’s been too long King of Mobei Regarding your mother’s passing I offer my deepest condolences The sovereignty of Mount Ling has long been disputed between our nations Your visit this time isn’t truly about peace talks, is it? Hmph.. Correct The Feihua Tang now answers to Third Princess Song Jinse I can help you reclaim it Oh? Our interests align Let’s maintain our alliance What’s your proposal? Kill Song Jinse Your mother broke her oath Why should I trust you now? Do you remember Bihe? The healer’s last slave Exactly I’ve sent people to find her She must know the healer’s descendants’ whereabouts As for Feihua Sect what you truly want isn’t the sect itself but its four sacred fragments Right? Precisely Princess Congratulations, First Princess How swiftly you’ve connected with the King of Mobei Princess I was wrong before Please forgive me How should I forgive you? Killing the Mobei princess framing Song Jinse disrupting Western Song to reap the benefits But I can’t enter the harem I need your direct intervention Very well Now you’re my obedient hound Princess Pei Lan used Feihua Sect to track Mobei King and Chu Jing They claim what? they’re currently seeking the healer’s descendants The healer’s old servant Bihe likely knows the truth of this matter Pei Lan has located Bihe She’ll arrive in the capital soon Greetings, Your Majesty I was the late queen’s maid I’ve brought it here Third Princess It’s really you! I’m Bihe Bihe… Is it really you? Correct She served the late queen The first Feihua Tang member Bihe Answer me this Was my mother called the Healer? Your Highness Tell me Yes The late queen lived in Mobei once She saved the current Mobei King Do you know Kalu Mihong? Must you know, Princess? This concerns Western Song’s fate Come with me Before going to Mobei the queen instructed me to guard this object May it never resurface Bihe Do you know what the Karimihong truly signifies? I only know it’s a secret treasure of Mobei possessing it grants dominion over the realm Yet somehow it fell into the Late Empress’ hands Mobei once surpassed Western Song in power but after losing their sacred totem the two nations reached uneasy peace Since the totem cannot be destroyed the Late Empress to maintain balance divided it into four fragments entrusted to four members of the Feihua Tang Bhe Do you have means to contact these four guardians? I can only do my best to try To seek anything in Western Song the surest method is to incite chaos Trouble! The Mobei Princess is in danger You serve my brother What are his orders? Your brother commands.. I take no pleasure in this but your death is necessary to destabilize Western Song How else can I locate the fragments? How dare you! The Mobei princess was in perfect health How could she die in prison? What were the jailers even doing? There is one suspect, but— But.. Enough stammering! Speak now! It’s the Third Princess This is insubordination! Your Majesty, please compose yourself There must be— some misunderstanding here No mistake about it Witnesses heard the Third Princess and the Mobei princess discussing poison Your Majesty, urgent news: The Mobei King has detained our diplomatic envoy as hostage demanding the Third Princess The envoy’s family members are kneeling outside the palace But this case— remains unresolved! It’s too late He’ll accept no substitute He vows the Third Princess will endure every torment his daughter suffered— with interest Daily executions begin at dawn The Mobei princess’s ordeal— started with the marriage alliance Our agents arrived too late to save her Understood You may withdraw My lady, disaster! You’re falsely accused of killing the princess! The Mobei King demands your hand in marriage It seems I must confront the Mobei King Shu’er inform His Majesty I accept the marriage alliance to secure the envoy’s return Princess, that’s a political marriage alliance If you go through with this you’ll never get to see General Xiao again Almost forgot about Xiao Yunchen Take this Five days’ worth of sleeping draught Find an opportunity to put it in Xiao Yunchen’s drink I fear he might disrupt the wedding and ruin my plans But Your Highness.. Why aren’t you leaving? Hmm Bihe What comes next.. I need your assistance Her Royal Highness the First Princess arrives! How dare you! When your princess arrives you dare not bow? Do you court death? The First Princess is here! Are you all deaf? Worthless maid Shuer! Brew tea for me at once! Shuer Who dares show such insolence? By His Majesty’s decree I condescend to see you wed Instead of gratitude you spout insolence? Kneel this instant! I kneel only to heaven, earth, and my parents Why should I bow to a brat like you? I’m your elder sister Resorting to such despicable underhanded framing tactics? I’m not as foolish as you think Song Jinse The Northern Frontier King is coming Kneel now if you know what’s good for you I might persuade him to go easy on your punishment Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose how you killed the Northern Frontier Princess? Listen carefully— I possess something he desperately needs Who will he believe—you or me? Your Majesty The person you seek was revealed by Bihe As for the totem fragments— Song Jinse has them I’ve fulfilled every demand you made Now honor your promise to me You little fool! Song Jinse is the one I need You nearly got her killed! Your Majesty It’s been harder to meet you than I imagined Aqin After all these years.. I’ve finally found her Bihe, tell me Is that woman really the Third Princess? The Third Princess wears the late Empress’s bracelet There’s no mistake If you won’t kill her.. I will! Chu Jing! Chu Jing! Get out! If you don’t leave now.. I’ll have you executed! Not only do you look like her.. But you even share her temper! Very well I, the King, pledge to protect her daughter I don’t need your protection! Aren’t you curious about your true origins? Or.. My connection to your mother? More than my origins.. I’m more intrigued.. By those totem fragments! So be it I’ll enlighten you They contain the recipe.. For the deadliest poison The ultimate treasure to unite all! This is why you started this war? Hahaha! Uniting the realm Bringing Mobei into Central Plains.. What could stop me? I already possess One of the fragments! When I gather all pieces Western Song will fall! Child Become my heir And I’ll ensure You’ll rule supreme! Stop your lies! My father is Western Song’s true emperor! You’re just palace-born bastard! Only I.. Tolerate your tainted blood!

Hand it over! Disaster! Xiao Yunchen Is attacking the palace! Release the Third Princess! Listen up Who do you think you’re negotiating with? Xiao Yunchen! Why are you here? A five-day dose of sleeping pills Song Jinse You’ve really outdone yourself Abducting a royal bride That’s a capital offense! Don’t you realize— But I.. Can’t just watch you.. Walk into disaster You truly are my daughter To actually ensnare General Xiao himself! I’m no daughter of yours My grand plan is nearly complete General Xiao join me instead Let me unite you star-crossed lovers Go back! Protect the princess! Attack!

Just seized from the Northern Desert King For you I’m begging you to trust me Is this considered a betrothal gift? Yes Betrothal gift It hurts, doesn’t it? Doesn’t hurt Pity that All medicine was left in the palace Se’er Xiao Yunchen You actually drugged me? After being with you so long Couldn’t possibly fail To learn such tactics I ask you What are you planning? I must leave now To confess before the Emperor Don’t go I’ll find a way Don’t go Se’er Only if I go Can my soldiers survive Can Western Song endure The Northern Desert King is dead You incompetents! This king does not receive visitors now Your Highness is anxious about the King’s assassination You must be anxious How do you know that? How I know is irrelevant The priority is to stabilize morale Revitalize Mobei A Ninth Prince of Western Song Why should this king trust you? The Emperor was assassinated Even the totem fragment in your possession was stolen But I happen to have acquired one myself This can secure people’s loyalty However.. I currently have a condition What condition? Help me reclaim the throne I’ll retrieve all the fragments Princess Where is Xiao Yunchen? He’s gone out Take me to him Don’t worry, he’s fine You’ve been unconscious long You must be starving Why do I feel this persistent unease? Xiao..

You drugged me. Boss, let me explain. I must save him. Don’t go! Yanran’s group is baiting you into a trap. I can’t let him walk to his death. Jinse, calm down. Feihua Hall is working on a plan. What a coincidence. The Northern King was killed now. Wait. Yanran alone can’t pull this off. I have to play this game. Go! The royal priest told Father: This child’s birth defies fate. Blood must be spilled to cleanse his cursed destiny. Kill General Xiao — no regrets. General Xiao. Do you confess? Impudence! One last chance: Surrender the Third Princess, and I’ll spare your life.
