[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 19]
Prince Li?
Your Highness?
Hold on!
The two of you are to ask Prince Li to wake up.
It's inappropriate for me to enter his room at this time.
Sir, you and His Highness are both men.
What is inappropriate about that?
I...
His Highness have given us orders that
should you arrive, you are to enter his quarters.
Your Highness?
Solar eclipse?
It's the solar eclipse today.
What is it?
As the first disciple of the Astronomy Bureau's Master Mo
you didn't manage to calculate that?
I definitely know about it.
When the sun is eclipsed, expected events occur.
Tell me.
Do you think this is a good or bad omen?
Since ancient times, only when the emperor is fatuous
would there be a strange sighting in astronomical phenomenon.
Do you mean to say that my father has acted with ill will?
Is he a fatuous emperor?
I wouldn't dare say so!
That wasn't what I meant.
Your Highness!
You... Why are you...
What is it about me?
Why are you suddenly behaving like this?
I...
I'll take my leave now!
Crown Prince.
Princess Duo Xia.
I've come today especially to thank you.
The plan that you came up with really is working.
I've figured out what Luan Fei thinks of me
by using the selection of an auspicious date.
Now, I can understand her attitude toward me.
If so, I should congratulate Your Highness.
Marriage is hard to come by.
Your Highness must cherish it.
But... Since I came up with a plan to fulfill your dream
shouldn't you help me in return?
Oh? Do tell, Your Highness.
I'd like Your Highness to help me choose another prince in Great Wei
to be A-Chai Tribe's prince consort.
If so, does Your Highness already have someone in mind?
I wonder who Your Highness is fond of?
If Your Highness is willing to help me, you shall know in time.
Sure!
How is the investigation going at the Jade Blood Chamber?
We have wiped out all remnants
of the Jade Blood Chamber in the Heavenly Capital.
Our people can now be at ease.
I hope that no more women will go missing.
It's indeed rewarding that such evil has been removed.
But I've been thinking about a matter over and over again.
The more I think about it, the more confused I get.
Allow me to take a guess.
Is it related to Qing Chen?
I've spent all these years by your side
and it's not hard to guess what is on your mind.
You do know me well.
Ever since Qing Chen first appeared before me
she always chose to take our side no matter what crisis we were in.
When we were in Pingxing County and Liang State had ambushed us
she reminded us of it.
She even outwitted Xiao Ji and helped us kill him.
Not only that, she transferred all the poison in me to her own body
to break the bond of life and death between us.
Yet she never meant to tell me.
When my life was at risk because of Xi's murder
she entered Zhan's manor to investigate discreetly for me.
Now that I think about it...
Why would a total stranger be so helpful to me?
If she had wanted to use you to restore The Mages to glory
her plans are meticulous and her every step is precise.
Her scheming and shrewdness are nothing out of the ordinary.
What truly worries me is that...
ever since I met Qing Chen
my life has been intertwined with hers as if it were fated.
We went through thick and thin together.
She came into my life so quietly and yet I can't fend her off.
Nor can I hide from her.
Ling? Ling!
Ling?
If we are to take precautions against her, why don't we--
Have those homeless women from the Celestial Dance House settled well?
They must not be harmed again.
Don't worry.
I've already assigned Wei Chang Zheng to handle that.
As for Qing Chen...
Look into her background for me.
Although she is Elder Xi Xie's disciple in the secular world
we couldn't find her anywhere.
We could only try to verify her identity by other means.
Look into this matter for me.
Where does she come from?
What are her motives?
Since we met her in Pingxing County...
I'll send our men to investigate in Pingxing County.
Then they can follow the clues back to the Heavenly Capital.
They are to record every little thing that she did.
Perhaps, we'll be able to find some clues.
Qing Chen has a plan and every step has been thought through.
She even arranged for Yuan Ting to leave the Heavenly Capital.
She made use of Zhan's and my authority
to wipe out The Mages' opponent, the influence of dark sorcery.
Although Zhan regained Father's trust in this matter
I don't believe that she only did so for the Meandering Skies.
There might be some bigger plot behind her actions.
Qing Chen foresaw the ambush of Liang State
and the attack on the Black Armor Army.
Her powers are simply too terrifying.
It's best for us to be cautious.
Once we have investigated thoroughly
we can then decide if she's friend or foe.
The sooner, the better.
Ling, don't worry. I'll get it done now.
Your Highness.
I've kept you waiting.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Master Wei, you're too kind.
I've invited you out here today to ask you for a favor.
Your Highness, do tell.
Master Wei is very familiar with the personnel in the palace.
I'd like you to find out if there's a maid named Jiu.
Jiu?
Jiu...
Your Highness, you rarely ask about affairs of the inner court.
Why would you suddenly ask about someone named Jiu?
I'll be honest with you.
I'm investigating a case now.
This maid, Jiu, plays a very crucial role.
However, some people in the palace might be involved.
Without solid evidence, no one dares to draw a conclusion.
In order to prevent any accidents
I'd like Master Wei to look into this matter discreetly.
Could this case that Your Highness just mentioned be--
Rest assured, Your Highness.
If it had been someone else who asked me for such a favor
I might have my doubts.
Now that Your Highness has approached me personally
I will surely do my very best.
Thank you, Master Wei.
I'll take my leave now.
Your Highness.
What's the matter?
Your Highness has now recovered.
I can now leave with ease.
Have a seat first.
You don't have any accommodation in the city.
Isn't it best to remain in my manor?
Considering my identity, it can't be good to stay in Prince Zhan's manor for long.
I think...
I'd like to buy the Celestial Dance House and turn it into a hospital.
Then I can also take in those innocent victims.
That is quite a meaningful gesture.
I'll seek an audience with Father and ask him for the dance house.
Your Highness, thank you for resolving my troubles.
However, the Celestial Dance House must be very expensive.
I'll do my best to pay you back soon.
This is not some difficult task.
Since you have plans to do so, I'm just helping you along.
Thank you, Your Highness.
However, the case of the Celestial Dance House
has drawn much attention.
Then there was the assassination attempt on His Majesty.
I wonder if this has caused you any trouble?
Don't worry.
As long as the three major families, Yin, Feng, and Wei remained steady
what other officials might have to say won't matter.
Yin family is assured.
But will Feng family and Wei family use this chance to stir up trouble?
It was Father's intention to investigate the Celestial Dance House.
Minister Feng has always been a very prudent man.
As for Wei family, they take a neutral stance.
Therefore, neither of them would voice an opinion against this case.
That's good to know.
By the way, I just saw that there are many visitors in the manor.
My uncle has sent his men here with nourishment.
I've had my men deliver it to my mother.
Your Highness is worried about Noble Consort Yin?
Since the empress passed away
only my mother and Consort Lian are in my father's favor.
After some time when my father's anger is appeased
he should then remember how devoted my mother was to him.
She should be able to return to Yanxi Hall then.
Consort Lian?
Is she Prince Ling's mother?
Exactly.
Isn't Consort Lian supposed to have died young?
You have such good intentions.
It's just that you were also severely injured that day.
How well have you recovered?
Have you had Imperial Physician He attend to your injury?
Don't leave any injury uncured.
Thank you for your concern, Father.
Father sent Imperial Physician He to check on my injury every day.
I have recovered now.
That's good.
It still makes me shudder to think back to that day.
If you hadn't made it there in time
I might really have been killed by The Mages.
Father is the true reincarnation of the dragon.
You could surely turn misfortune into a blessing.
Now that I think about that day...
How did you know that I'd be assassinated?
It was such a coincidence that you got there in time.
Ling and I were investigating the Celestial Dance House case.
We discovered that dark sorcerers had turned humans
into voodoo puppets who are like the walking dead.
We figured out that they must have plotted some scheme.
On the day of Father's praying ritual, they had shipped out some voodoo puppets.
I followed them all the way.
I found out that they were all sent to Emperor Mountain.
Hence, I asked Ling for the Black Armor Army
and rushed hastily to Father's rescue.
This means that Ling was also aware of the assassination?
Exactly.
Ling and I took separate actions.
He was in charge of capturing the dark sorcerers
while I went to your rescue.
You deserve to take credit for saving my life.
However, the officials and our people still hold a grudge against the Yins
for what was done previously.
I can't restore you to your duties in the imperial court yet.
But I have always given fair treatment.
Tell me.
What is it that you'd like this time?
Your Highness, Miss Qing Chen is here.
It seems Your Highness knew that I would come here?
If you can foresee, why can't I make a guess?
What's surprising about it?
There's a leaf in this cup.
Does Your Highness know that with just this leaf
The Mages could read your fortune?
In my opinion, Your Highness is greatly burdened by troubles recently.
With this leaf, can you tell if you will move into my manor
or remain in Prince Zhan's manor?
Your Highness, look at the direction the tip of this leaf is pointing.
I happen to have a guest room in my manor.
It's facing the garden.
The gods have made such an arrangement.
Because they know that you love plants.
The direction of this leaf--
I don't wish to know the result of your fortune-telling.
You don't have to tell me about your decision either.
I just want you to know
that you are always welcome in my manor.
If you're willing to come here, I'll surely welcome you.
Be it your manor or Prince Zhan's manor
neither is a place for me to settle down.
Once all the disturbances are settled
I shall inform Your Highness where I should go.
I thought that you'd return to The Mages.
Tribesmen of The Mages are scattered and the Meandering Skies demolished.
His Majesty has yet to lift the ban on The Mages.
It isn't the safest place to be.
All right.
I'll wait patiently for your answer.
But what I hope for the most...
One day, you will voluntarily tell me where you wish to be.
May I be so bold as to ask Father for the Celestial Dance House?
What do you need it for?
You should know that my sons are not to wallow in red light districts.
Father, you've misunderstood me.
I wanted to take over the Celestial Dance House
because many homeless women were stranded after the dark sorcerers were expelled.
Many of these women are very talented.
Hence, I'd like to ask Father
to allow me to turn the dance house into a hospital
and leave it to those women to manage.
That way, not only will they have a place to settle down
but they will also promote
Father's benevolence and compassion among our people.
You have always been prudent and meticulous.
Since you have the intention to carry out this task
good then.
I will give the Celestial Dance House to you.
Thank you, Father!
The case of the Celestial Dance House has yet to come to an end.
I wonder what you intend to do next.
I surely have to keep searching for my mentor.
Do you need any assistance?
Feel free to let us know.
I do have a favor to ask of you.
It's easier for you two as you're in the palace.
I'd like you to look into Prince Ling's mother, Consort Lian.
Why is that?
I've heard that Consort Lian is greatly favored by His Majesty.
But she was actually the previous emperor's consort.
Indeed.
This is not to be mentioned in the palace.
No one dares to bring it up lightly.
Consort Lian dwells within the harem and rarely makes an appearance.
Even Prince Ling doesn't get to see his mother often.
Have any of The Mages contacted her?
From what I know, no one did.
Are there other rumors about Consort Lian?
I'd like to know more about her.
Sure.
We'll try to investigate that.
I'll have to trouble you with this then.
In the previous universe, Consort Lian died young.
Sacred Pebbles of Nine Transformations changed everything that I knew.
How should I investigate that?
This is what you found?
I used all sorts of methods and networks.
I discovered that there are only clues
after Qing Chen appeared in Pingxing County.
Before that, there was nothing to be found.
In the information you gathered, it didn't even have her place of birth.
These days, the confidants of the Black Armor Army are all over Great Wei
and some are even concealed within other states.
Not once have they failed to find out about a person's background.
This is simply too baffling.
How is it with The Mages?
Mister Mo said that he had tested Qing Chen personally.
She is indeed a direct disciple of Elder Xi Xie.
It seems that only Elder Xi Xie knows her true identity.
When both Elders tested her, I was present.
Could someone have deliberately erased her past?
That's possible.
What took us even more by surprise is that Zhan went to meet Father.
He took credit for rescuing Father
but he didn't ask any favors for Yin family at all.
Nor did he mention Noble Consort who is still in Cold Palace.
He asked for the Celestial Dance House as a gift for Miss Qing Chen.
Qing Chen didn't mention any of this to me.
It seems that she had this all planned out.
How could she be sure that Father would give the dance house to Zhan?
Zhan planned to turn the dance house into a hospital
to take in those homeless victims.
Father sees this gesture as beneficial to our people to win them over.
Hence, he didn't refuse.
Zhan has always been meticulous.
He would never become anyone's pawn.
Yet he has done this for Qing Chen.
Who knew that Qing Chen means so much to him?
It's still hard to tell if Qing Chen has made use of Zhan
or that it was Zhan who made use of Qing Chen to pave the way for Yin family.
Only they know.
Your Highness barges in late at night.
What has happened?
I'm here to clarify something.
If you wish to get a clear answer, come back tomorrow.
You've already left Prince Zhan's manor.
Should anyone see you--
You must give me an answer today!
I don't like being unclear about anything.
Give me an answer.
Then I'll leave right away.
It seems that Your Highness insists on getting some questions answered.
Since we first met, you've always been a mystery to me.
You kept going back and forth between me and Zhan.
I got Che to investigate you but we found nothing.
Who exactly are you?
What are your motives?
Am I your target or is it Zhan?
Since I chose to remain in Prince Zhan's manor
shouldn't you understand whom I have chosen?
Or did you ask knowingly?
Since the beginning, I've only made one choice.
Right here.
Because he is here.
Yuan Zhan.
Since we met at the dance house
I knew that it'd be hard for me to find such a close friend again.
That's why I used every means to get into his manor.
I even got him to investigate the Celestial Dance House.
Only then could I extend my stay by his side.
If my actions have caused you any misunderstanding
it is solely my fault.
You did all this because of Zhan?
It is just my wishful thinking, is it?
Affection...
It has to be mutual.
I can't reciprocate one-sided affection.
Even if Your Highness has treated me so frivolously...
It won't change my mind.
Should you attempt to do that again...
I'll surely take my own life.
I'm sorry.
I only came here to ask about your identity.
I didn't expect to end up doing that.
But this is all for the best.
I finally realize how ridiculous I am.
You need not apologize, Your Highness.
If you still think that I'm just using you
you might as well stay far away from me.
The two of us...
We could just be strangers from now on.
After using me...
Are you going to use Zhan?
I will look into your past personally.
If I find out that you're out to hurt anyone close to me...
I will end your life myself.
These words...
I will bear them in mind.
I hope that Your Highness will remember what I said today as well.
Yuan Ling...
You thought that I had a choice?
You're wrong.
Right from the beginning, I was never given a choice.
I made a huge mistake the previous time.
This time...
I could only be cruel to you.
Our destiny... can't be changed.
Your Highness.
I discovered that someone had snuck into the manor
so I wanted to investigate further but who knew...
It was actually Prince Ling.
Your Highness, allow me to falsely intercept Prince Ling.
Perhaps then, you could get an explanation?
Why bother?
Since Ling rushed over here late at night
it's because he didn't want me to know.
Why should I put him in a tight spot?
Your Highness is just going to let Prince Ling leave like this?
Since the intruder isn't a thief
it's fine. We know who it really is.
You may be dismissed now.
Yes, Your Highness.
Affection... It has to be mutual.
I can't reciprocate one-sided affection.
What exactly is this about?
When we first met, Qing Chen warned me to watch out for Liang State's army.
We even took down Xiao Ji's army together.
When Xi was killed, she went to Zhan's manor to clear me of my name
by collaborating on my investigation from Zhan's manor.
Have I misunderstood Qing Chen's affections?
She never once fell for me?
Could it be that... it is Zhan she fancies?
Yuan Ling...
All I wish for is for you to return to your destined path.
I'm already in bed.
If Your Highness has matters to discuss, please come over tomorrow.
If that is so, I'll come over tomorrow.
Prince Zhan?
Your Highness, what is the matter?
It's nothing important.
Get some rest.
I'll come over tomorrow.
What is this for, Ling?
I heard that you've asked Father for the Celestial Dance House
to turn it into a hospital and take in those homeless courtesans.
You're so well-informed.
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
I owe The Mages a favor.
I'd like to repay them with this hospital.
So why don't you tell Qing Chen about it personally?
Qing Chen doesn't like meddlesome matters.
She doesn't like to owe anyone favors either.
You should know that as well.
Since you've asked me in person, I'll gladly agree to it.
Li Lin, bring me the title deed and the keys to the Celestial Dance House.
- Hand them to Ling later. - Yes.
Don't bother. I'll come with you.
This is the first time I've seen Ling so devoted to a woman.
Ling must have really fallen hard for her.
But now, there's a rift between them.
Ling!
Did I hear you correctly just now?
You did.
I'm renovating the Celestial Dance House into a hospital. I'll start right away.
Ling, have you calculated how much it will cost?
What of it? Have we run out of money again?
We... When did we have any to begin with?
I have an idea.
We won't have to spend a penny.
What's your idea?
Let Zhan do the work.
The Celestial Dance House was awarded to Zhan anyway.
He has plenty of money.
What I said is true.
Are you going to sell your manor?
Everyone knows that Prince Ling doesn't have a penny.
Where are you going to get all that money?
Don't worry about that.
I'll be able raise enough funds for the renovation.
All you need to do is keep a close eye on everything.
Since we're getting this done
we have to turn it into the Heavenly Capital's best hospital.
No, Ling...
Why do you want to build a hospital?
However hard I think about this matter, it really doesn't concern you at all.
Qing Chen wishes to turn the dance house into a hospital
so I thought that in secret--
What are you laughing at?
Once it's turned into a hospital, it can benefit the people of Great Wei.
I am happy to help her with that.
This does benefit our people.
Ling, you're definitely not doing this for Qing Chen
but for our people, right?
Just one word.
Are you helping me or not?
Ling...
How would I dare not to help you?
You're my fourth brother after all.
Get the work started right away.
All right!
I'll go and recruit the best builders.
This time, I have to take part in designing the hospital.
I'll go over to the dance house now.
Ling...
You're going the opposite direction.
A man in love is like a man possessed.
I finally got to witness that myself.
I want all of you to get out!
Get out!
Your Highness, forgive us!
You may be dismissed.
Your Highness, what is the matter?
Why were you so harsh to the maids?
Isn't it all because of you?
Why didn't you wake me up this morning?
I went to Emperor Mountain on Master Mo's orders.
I left Your Highness a letter before I set out.
Did you not see it?
I only saw that letter this morning!
Why didn't you mention it in advance last night?
I take it as you've broken your promise to me.
Your Highness is obviously being unreasonable.
If there is nothing else, I'll get back to work.
Hold on!
Dress me before you leave.
Your Highness has your grooming and daily routine attended to by others.
This isn't within my duties.
Why not?
A wise man once said
"It's inappropriate for unmarried men and women to touch."
How could I let those palace maids dress me?
It will have to be you.
Might as well...
I'll go look for the eunuch to dress you.
Why would a guard like you be so oblivious to the situation?
By the time the eunuchs get here, I'd be frozen to death!
What is the matter?
Would you dare to defy me?
Yes, Your Highness.
Why are your hands shaking?
Are you sick?
Is it contagious?
I won't shun you.
You just have to serve well by my side.
If you really have to go somewhere, you must inform me in advance.
You can only leave with my permission.
Understand?
Yes.
Your Highness.
In regards to the marital bond, I've already made the arrangements.
When you meet my father later
feel free to tell him what you truly think.
The Crown Prince truly is a man of his word.
I'm just curious to know which of my younger brothers you fancy.
Crown Prince, you need not be so anxious.
Once I meet His Majesty, you will know the answer.
Your Highness's beloved one is always watching your every move.
Princess Duo Xia.
How have you been getting along with the Crown Prince?
The Crown Prince is prudent and composed.
He's humble and kind to his people.
Should he inherit the throne
the nation would be peaceful and the people worry-free.
You're too kind, Your Highness.
It seems that you get along quite well?
It's just that although the Crown Prince is a man hard to come by
his personality is too different from mine.
Besides, I'm also not the ideal spouse that the Crown Prince has in mind.
So, why don't we both choose another as our spouse?
Your Highness is very sensible.
Although we do admire each other, it isn't adoration.
I hope that Father will make a wise decision.
It seems that you have both reached a consensus?
Since it is so, Your Highness still has other requests?
Now that Your Majesty mentioned it, I do have a favor to ask of you.
I might not be drawn to Crown Prince
but I have fallen for another of Your Majesty's sons.
Your Highness is quite blunt.
I wonder which prince it is that you fancy?
Prince Ling.
Your Highness is already acquainted with Prince Ling?
I met Prince Ling in Pingxing County.
Let's say that a fight brought us together.
Your Majesty.
The people of A-Chai Tribe always look up to their heroes.
We also tend to decide whom we wish to marry.
I hope that Your Majesty will grant me this wish.
I do like to fulfill the wishes of others.
It seems that you were destined to meet.
Moreover, Ling is at a marriageable age.
All right, I'll have an imperial decree ready to announce your marriage.
Your Majesty, since I have chosen my own future spouse
I don't wish to force him into it.
I'd like to inform Prince Ling of this matter personally.
I do like your personality.
You speak bluntly without any reserve.
I have been worried about Prince Ling's marriage recently.
This is perfect.
I can save myself some trouble.
I'd like to ask Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to keep this a secret.
When the timing is right, I'll talk to him about it.
Sure.
I'll definitely leave that to you.
Your Highness!
I apologize for not having welcomed you sooner.
Greetings to Prince Che.
Where's Prince Ling?
Ling has yet to return.
If Your Highness needs to see him, I'll send someone to fetch him now.
It's all right.
If His Highness is occupied with his work
I'll feel bad for causing a delay because of my visit.
I'll just wait out here for him.
Your Highness, what else would you need me to help you with?
Prince Ling is handsome and charming.
Why is he still single?
Could it be that he has unspeakable reasons
or some unmentionable disease?
Or is it because of someone that he has to marry late?
It isn't because of me that Ling is still single!
Your Highness must have misunderstood.
There are often conflicts at the border of Great Wei these years.
Ling has to go to war year after year.
It's hard for him to even meet a lady in a year.
Year after year, he definitely ends up getting married late...
What about Prince Che?
Why have you yet to marry?
I'm not the one keeping Ling from getting married!
Ling had me marry late!
How can I get married before him?
Che!
Ling!
I never said that you can't marry first.
Do you have someone in mind?
Prince Ling.
Ling, Her Highness has been waiting out here for some time.
Before your next visit, Your Highness should inform us in advance.
Then you won't have to wait for long.
It would seem as if we have not received you well here at my manor.
I have made the visit too abruptly.
Why are there wood chips on Prince Ling?
I heard that Prince Ling is skilled in leading the army to war
but not that you're also good at carpentry.
I've been busy building a hospital.
Excuse me for not being a good host these days.
I have matters to see to so I'll take my leave.
Chat amongst yourselves.
However urgent it might be...
You can spare a few minutes, no?
Are both Your Highnesses very busy?
Since I'm already here, I could always wait for another day.
I wonder why Your Highness has come to visit me?
It's nothing special.
It's just that I've been in Great Wei for some time
but I've never visited Prince Ling's manor, so I wanted to take a look
and see what your manor is like inside.
Sure.
My brother and I will show you around.
I'll take my leave now...
Prince Ling.
Please lead the way.
After you, Your Highness.
My manor is probably the simplest one of all the princes.
It might not be to your liking.
Prince Ling, your concern is misplaced.
The manor isn't important.
What matters is the mind of the person in this manor.
Prince Ling has always cared greatly for the world.
One command of yours leads an army of thousands to war.
The manor is unadorned but not simple.
Now that Your Highness has said so
should anyone describe my manor as simple
I could then refute them with your words.
It's just as I would have normally thought of A-Chai Tribe.
Before I left A-Chai Tribe
I found it dull and desolate looking at the desert every day.
But now that I'm away from it
I realize that such simplicity might suit me better.
A-Chai Tribe is situated in an extensive and spacious area.
That must make its people broadminded.
I do quite like the scenery of the dessert.
Prince Ling likes the desert as well?
Just as I like the simplicity of Prince Ling's manor?
Only the desert could have raised such a magnanimous lady.
This way, Your Highness.
At least, Prince Ling doesn't dislike me or A-Chai Tribe.
Consort Lian doesn't like to interact with anyone in the palace.
I've checked the records in the palace.
Even the historiographer hasn't recorded much about her.
Only a few words were written.
"The previous emperor is deceased."
"Consort Lian in her youth remarried Emperor Wen as his consort."
"Emperor Wen is the reigning emperor."
If His Majesty adored her so much
why would the historiographer write so little about her?
Ming Yan, will you investigate this from other locations?
All right.
When I was looking into Feng family
I discovered one baffling matter.
What is it?
Feng family's eldest young mistress, Xian Wu
was Prince Ming's legal princess consort.
They were very deeply in love.
However for some unknown reason, one day, Xiao Wu came down with a severe illness
and died that night in Feng Manor.
Prince Ming didn't even get to see her one last time.
She is already Prince Ming's princess consort.
Why would she die in Feng Manor?
No one knows the exact reason.
Xian Wu died and was buried in haste.
Almost no one knew of it.
As for the real reason, no one has been able to find out.
Since then, Prince Ming has not married again.
He is also still using his connections
to search for Feng family's second young mistress.
Judging by Feng family's influence
it shouldn't be that hard for them to find a person.
Yet they still couldn't find her after all these years.
It means that those women kept in the Celestial Dance House
were either abducted by Feng family or Prince Ming.
I have found a painting of Miss Feng Xian Wu.
She once made a name for herself in the Heavenly Capital with her dance.
She won the heart of Prince Ming with just one dance.
The lady in the painting does resemble Qing Chen in a way.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter Feng Manor so recklessly.
If I could get close to Prince Ming
I might find an opportunity to enter Feng Manor.
How can anyone disappear into thin air?
Not to mention in a heavily guarded palace.
Be it to enter or leave the palace
all maids will be recorded in the books.
I was worried that I might have overlooked some records
so I've had my men go through all the guards' records as well.
I discovered that Jiu never existed in the palace.
All subjects and civilians are to go through
various inspections to enter the palace.
It's no easy feat to enter the palace.
If this person could get close to Ji
who could she be if she's neither a guard nor a maid?
This matter is highly suspicious.
Someone must have lied!
Indeed.
Was it Ji who misled me in the first place
or did Jiu have the intention to deceive Ji from the beginning?
