[ Xichu Province ]
[ Wanted ]
Xiao Liu.
We've arrived to Xichu. Your portrait is definitely by the entrance.
Is there a way for us to enter Xichu without going through the entrance?
Xichu is not a rich place.
Many walls are still broken.
I know an opening, but we will have to go the long way.
Okay, let's go.
This way, follow me.
Who did they arrest?
The Commandery Prince of Dongping...
Don't go!
Why is there only one cage?
Who is inside?
Where are the rest of them?
Old man,
how come the Emperor acted this fast? The battle in the Xiaoqiu Woods was only a couple days ago.
Could it be he already knew that Chen Yu had the items?
It shouldn't be this quick, theoretically.
That is an iron cage.
Young Master should be inside.
The iron cage is heavy, so their travel would be very slow.
The rest of them should have reached the jail by now.
What did Chen Yu do
that the Emperor is guarding against him like this?
Lord, do we need to attack the cage?
No.
This arrest is very strange. Let's find out what happened first.
Hua Buqi is not among the prisoners.
Let's find her first.
He's screwed. Once he is inside of the iron cage,
even when he is put in jail, it won't be opened.
How do we save the Young Master?
Let's go back to our store.
Zhu Shou was also arrested in the Prince Manor.
I wonder if the House of Zhu was implicated.
If not, we can still buy information.
If the House of Zhu got into trouble, too,
we will think of something else.
Old man, how about you take a break?
If arresting Chen Yu is a trap,
since you've met him, you shouldn't show yourself anymore.
Okay.
How about this, send everyone out to search for information
and find out if he has been caught for real.
Yes.
Sorry for making you suffer, Your Highness.
Thank you, General Guan, for putting on this show with me.
You're being courteous.
The Emperor sent me to Mingyue Villa to investigate what's behind it.
Now, with your help and that of Magistrate Du,
everyone will think that I have been arrested.
I can then now more conveniently investigate covertly.
You went to the bandit's base camp alone.
In order to be in the dark, you'd rather suffer.
I do admire you for that.
It's not really suffering.
It's just Xichu's jail
won't be quiet these coming days.
It's fine. Magistrate Du has no other hobby
but to think about how this prison can lock up criminals.
If anyone wants to try how strong his jail is,
he would love that,
but I will have to make you suffer
to stay here for the night. I will take you out of here tomorrow.
Thank you.
Your Highness.
Someone from the capital also came to relay a verbal decree of His Majesty to you.
I thought the Emperor would have General Guan fully handle my rebellion case.
I wonder who is here.
He is your friend from the capital.
He especially asked me not to tell you who he was.
He said that he wants to surprise Your Highness.
I think he must be arriving soon.
I won't disturb you and the special envoy
from catching up.
A friend from the capital.
Who could it be?
Young Master, how is your wound? Does it need to be treated?
No hurry.
Maybe I will still need to put on a show.
I don't feel good about the Emperor sending someone over right now.
My Master was killed in Biluotian.
I couldn't see anyone because of my sickness.
It was too coincidental. Someone would have doubts.
You are worrying that the Emperor has guessed something?
Before I left for Xiaoqiu Woods,
I had sent a message to the Emperor
asking for permission to have General Guan and Magistrate Du's cooperation,
so I could do a secret investigation.
That is indeed my initial intention.
However, when I got the items related to Biluotian,
I thought I could use this to chance to make those criminals who killed my Master
believe that it was the Emperor who wanted the items; hence, I was arrested.
Those rebels...
don't want the Emperor to have those things, so they will definitely come for the cage.
By then,
I will catch them all,
so we can completely solve the problems about the rebels.
I will then fake my death to escape.
Even if the Emperor doubts me by then,
I'm already dead.
If the information of Your Highness' death gets out,
Miss Zhu will be really sad.
For our future,
I have to hide it from her.
I can't let many people know about it,
so people won't see signs from Buqi.
Young Master, a couple of guards, and I have thought about it.
It's better that we all get dragged to the city gates tomorrow,
be beheaded, and our heads hung at the gates, so that our plan can go perfectly.
No.
Only this way will they believe that you have been arrested.
Are your lives that cheap?!
There are many ways to make them believe us!
You don't have to die!
- You may leave now. - Yes.
- Zhangqing. - Jianfei?
So, you were the messenger.
When did you become the special envoy?
I've been His Majesty's secret investigative agent since two years ago.
Congratulations.
Jianfei, I long knew that you were talented.
You will become a politician one day.
It's just that I didn't know it would happen this fast.
Let's catch up later and receive the decree first.
I'm here to receive the decree.
This is the Emperor's verbal decree.
How dare you, Chen Yu!
I treated you like my own child since you were little,
yet you hide things like this from me.
You became the Lotus Robe Knight who has done things against the government.
How mighty of you!
I wouldn't dare.
I've found out that the House of Zhu from the south ganged up with the rebels.
They used their debt as an excuse,
but in reality are funding the rebels.
With such evil intentions, they deserve to die. There is no pardon for such a crime.
Rebels? You are saying that Dongfang Shi is the rebel?
How dare you?!
I haven't finished promulgating His Majesty's decree yet. You dare cut me off?
I'm giving you half a year to investigate this case.
During this time, you may not contact Hua Buqi.
Or else, you will be executed.
If even one tael of money from the House of Zhu ends up with the rebel,
I will then cut a piece of flesh from Hua Buqi.
If the rebels gets ten thousands, I will cut her ten thousand of times.
That will be all.
I will obey.
Zhangqing, His Majesty
has always favored you.
Even the matter of you fighting against the government
as the Lotus Robe Knight,
he was able to tolerate it.
People should be jealous of you,
but His Majesty will be sending people by your side to help you investigate from now on.
So stop being the Lotus Robe Knight.
Are you talking to me
as the special envoy now?
Give it a minute. We will catch up once we are done.
The red one is the poison
the brown ones are the antidotes. You will take the red pill,
and report to me every three months,
so you can have the antidote.
This is His Majesty's idea?
His Majesty thinks that you are too proud and unbridled,
so he asked me how to control you. After some thinking, I thought this was the best way.
This is a tribute from the Northern Di. Legend says that
it takes many precious herbs to make it.
There is only one set, so I got them from His Majesty.
Zhangqing, don't worry, I will definitely give you the antidote.
We both work for the Emperor. Only once the work is appropriately done,
can we all be at ease.
We are both working for the Emperor.
Who do you think you are?
I am the Emperor's special envoy!
If you can spit it out so easily, why would it still be called some strange poison from Northern Di?
I will give you the antidote every three months.
If I find out that you are saying things you are not supposed to say,
you won't get the antidote.
We are both working for the Emperor.
Only once the work is appropriately done, we all will be at ease. Right?
How dare you treat the special envoy of His Majesty this way?!
If you are not afraid of dying,
you can tell the Emperor that I forced you to take the poison.
Jianfei, you are so smart.
You found out about my identity from Yuan Chong, didn't you?
You told the the Emperor that I was the Lotus Robe Knight.
It was also you who told the Emperor that Miss Zhu from Zhu Manor was Hua Buqi.
You told the Emperor to use her to threaten me, didn't you?!
- Help! Help! - Stop yelling!
Xichu's jail is famous for being soundproof.
Zhangqing, we can talk this out.
We are friends.
Friends?
Did you consider me as your friend when you threatened me with Hua Buqi?
If you know what's good for you, you better leave now.
If you still want to snatch the antidotes, I will destroy them now.
No, I will get out.
Get out!
I didn't expect Dongfang Shi was the rebel.
I was careless.
Follow Chen Yu from now on!
If he fights back, just say it's the Emperor's order.
Those who don't obey will be executed!
- If there is any strange movement, report back to me. - Yes.
- How is the matter with the House of Zhu? - Provincial Magistrate Du has
sent messages to shops owned by the House of Zhu.
It's just that their Lady hasn't shown up yet. The manager of the silk shop can't take charge.
Hence, we haven't told them yet about the bail.
Tell Magistrate Du that once Miss Zhu returns,
- I will tell her about the bail myself. - Yes.
Why is it still closed?
Could it be our stores in Xichu have been confiscated?
What do we do?
Xiao Liu, everyone from the Prince Manor are wanted by the government.
Your portrait is on the city walls. You can't risking going out.
I will go check. You stay here.
No, Miss Zhu!
- Manager. - God bless us. It's good that you're able to safely return, My Lady.
Manager, is our store okay?
- Where did you go earlier? - I was going to the local court to handle things.
A few days ago, Magistrate Du sent us a message saying that
Chief Steward Shou was arrested. He didn't say whether if he is going to let him go or not. He has been very vague about it.
Magistrate Du also asked about your whereabouts, and I told him that you haven't came back yet.
Then, how much did you give to Magistrate Du?
We don't have much silver on hand in the store.
I've been collecting money and got one hundred thousand taels.
I don't think it will be enough.
Good job. Rebellion is after all a grave crime.
As long as the House of Zhu didn't get implicated, it's okay to spend some money.
Right, Manager, Zhu Shou said that
when I was in the bandit's base camp, he wrote home to ask for money.
I assume they are about to arrive at Xichu. You can go receive them.
I will go check the local court.
My Lady, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go by yourself?
Since they didn't accuse the House of Zhu for being rebels,
then they just want more money. Don't worry.
- Okay. - Go ahead. - I'll go look then.
[ Zhu's Silk Store ]
Zhu brat!
It's good as long as you are safe. I've been worried about you these past days. I was worrying that you also got arrested.
The jail is dark and scary. It's not a place for a girl like you.
Thank you for your concerns. Could you do me a favor, please?
Zhu brat, do you remember what I praised you in the desert?
What? Did you praise me?
I said something about your dignity.
Who told me to have no one to rely on here in Xichu Province anymore?
Do you want to help me or not?
I will need to see what kind of favor you are asking.
If you ask me to help you save Chen Yu, it would be impossible.
He is my enemy after all.
Also, he committed a crime of rebellion.
Everyone is avoiding him.
If it's about something else, I will consider.
Xiaojin Ku is your family's business. The storyteller said that gambling houses
and brothels are places that have the newest information.
I want you to help me find out that if Zhu Shou is okay and if the House of Zhu will be implicated.
I wouldn't trouble you for other things.
- That's it? - Yes.
You really don't need me to
go save Chen Yu from the jail?
If he wants to rebel, how could I save him?
I still have the House of Zhu to consider.
- I don't need to risk my whole house for a Prince I just got to know, right? - Zhu brat,
you are still pretending that you just got to know him?
Are you helping me or not?
I can ask around for you, but this is regarding a rebellion.
- I can't guarantee that I can get any information. - Thank you.
If you have any updates, you can send a message to the manager of the silk store. I'll take my leave.
- Young Master, aren't we going to catch Miss Zhu? - We will wait.
I want to know if Chen Yu was really arrested by the Emperor.
Miss Zhu is close to him, so it would be easy to find out about it from her.
Tonight, I will test her again, and then I will know.
- How was it? - House of Zhu hasn't been implicated yet.
Go hide inside first. I will go find out more from Magistrate Du.
How could you go alone? I will go with you.
This is a serious crime of rebellion!
I'm not even sure if Magistrate Du will be of any help.
It would be good if we can save Zhu Shou and find out about something.
You are wanted now. It would be suicidal for you.
Take care of yourself.
- Xiao Xia? - My Lady.
My Lady.
You've lost weight.
I have so much to worry about, so how could I not?
Why is it only you? Where are the rest?
Chief Steward Fu and I ran into the manager by the gates of the city.
He said that you are going to the local court.
I was worried about you, so I got here first.
Chief Steward Fu has the carriage with silver, so he is going straight to the store.
- How much did you guys bring? - One million taels. - Good.
With money, we can do anything. I'm at ease that we have money now.
Let's go see Magistrate Du.
Okay.
Chen Yu!
Are you going out?
It is not stated in His Majesty's oral decree that
I must report to you all my activities.
I'm just asking.
If you went out now,
aren't you afraid that you might be seen by others, and your plan exposed?
I will be careful myself.
Don't ask your men to follow me.
Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be.
Don't threaten me. They are His Majesty's men.
We are all acting on the orders of His Majesty.
Fortunately, I used faked medicine to test you just now.
Otherwise,
I would be poisoned and still be threatened by you.
Chen Yu, you are really daring.
I must really tell all these to His Majesty.
Lord, the granddaughter of the House of Zhu is outside the local government office seeking an audience with Magistrate Du.
Bring her in here to see me.
Be careful. Commandery Prince of Dongping has just gone out. Don't let them bump into each other.
Yes!
Chen Yu, for the arrogance that you've shown to me,
I will get them all back from Hua Buqi.
The two of you wait here.
That Magistrate Du asked us to meet him in prison.
What does he mean by it?
My Lady, why don't I bring you out now? You should not take any risk.
Don't worry.
If he wants to arrest me, he would have done so just now at the entrance of the government office when I was waiting to see him.
I reckon he wants to frighten me so that he can discuss conditions with me.
Young Lord Bai?
All of you may leave.
Yes.
Since we said goodbye to each other in Suzhou Prefecture, I had often missed Miss Zhu.
Now, we meet in Xichu Province. We are really fated.
Xichu Province can't be compared with Jiangnan.
Miss Zhu has grown thinner a little.
Is it because you are not adapted to the weather here?
I am indeed a bit unaccustomed to the environment here,
but it is nothing serious. Thank you, Young Lord Bai, for your concern.
Miss Zhu looked surprised.
I believe you must be wondering why the person that you met here is not Magistrate Du,
but an official like me.
Official?
Young Lord Bai has become a government official?! I must congratulate you!
No, it should be congratulations, Official Bai!
Because of the graces of His Majesty, I have been appointed as a special envoy.
I have come to Xichu Province this time because of the case of rebellion by Commandery Prince of Dongping.
I have some matters which
I want to talk to Miss Zhu alone.
Miss Xiao Xia, can you please wait outside for a while?
Paying my respects to Special Envoy.
There's no special envoy here.
I have always treated Miss Zhu as my confidant.
Since Official Bai has already said so,
then I will not be courteous.
Brother Bai,
our House of Zhu was purchasing High Mountain Great Leaf tea in Dongping Commandery.
It has nothing to do at all with the rebellion led by Commandery Prince of Dongping.
Zhu Shou has been arrested and put into the prison.
I'm really so frightened.
You are the special envoy. You mustn't wrongly accuse an innocent man.
Don't worry.
I will help Miss Zhu and ensure that the investigation reveals the truth.
Really?
Of course,
but you know that
this is a big case of rebellion.
The fact that the Chief Steward of Zhu Manor was together with the Commandery Prince
really raised a lot of suspicion.
What can we do so that the House of Zhu will not be implicated?
Miss Zhu,
what is the relationship between the Commandery Prince and you?
What does Brother Bai mean by asking this?
Aren't you the rumored daughter of Seventh Prince,
the sister who Mo Ruofei acknowledged, Hua Buqi?
The two of you are siblings.
The Commandery Prince of Dongping incited a rebellion,
House of Zhu used the excuse of purchasing tea to collude with him.
How dare you say that the House of Zhu has nothing to do with the rebellion?
Who said that I'm the daughter of Seventh Prince?!
My father is Zhu Jiuhua.
I'm the tenth generation heir of House of Zhu.
Seventh Prince was infatuated with my mother and wanted to acknowledge me as his daughter, but that's his business.
But you can't just casually ask me to acknowledge a rebel as my older brother.
Official Bai,
by saying this, you are then insisting on implicating House of Zhu with this case then?
You are not the daughter of Seventh Prince?
Of course not.
The House of Zhu is a well-known family in Jiangnan.
Why would it take the daughter from another family to be its heir?
Official Bai,
you must never listen to those baseless gossips outside and sentence our family with a crime.
Miss Zhu, don't be anxious.
How can I not be anxious?
This rebellion is a matter so great it will cause heads to be cut off!
No wonder someone said that you like the Commandery Prince.
In the beginning, I thought it was strange,
so you are actually not the daughter of Seventh Prince.
It all makes sense now.
How can I like him? This...
Official Bai, you should stop connecting me to him.
The House of Zhu has only one child every generation for the last ten generations. The reputation and integrity of a girl is the most important thing.
No marriage has been arranged for me yet.
Besides having business deals with the Commandery Prince of Dongping Manor, our House of Zhu
has no other dealings with them at all.
If Grand Master hears that I am with
a rebellious government official, then ...
He'll surely jump into the Suzhou River.
What's your relationship with him then?
Why is the Chief Steward of the Zhu Manor arrested inside the Commandery Prince of Dongping Manor?
My Zhu family and Commandery Prince
only have connections in business.
If not for purchasing tea, I would never have come to Xichu.
So I misunderstood.
I heard that Miss Zhu had affections for the Lotus Robe Knight.
Back then, before Miss Zhu returned to your family,
you were straying in the street and found by Young Lord Mo.
You were attacked on your way to the capital at the Tianmen Pass,
and it was the Lotus Robe Knight who saved you.
Am I correct?
The Lotus Robe Knight saved my life.
Isn't it reasonable for me to admire him?
And you still deny that you like Commandery Prince of Dongping?!
Oh my!
Are you saying that...
Commandery Prince of Dongping is Lotus Robe Knight?!
I had thought that the Lotus Robe Knight was a hero who carried out chivalrous acts.
I never imagined that he was actually
an evil Commandery Prince who rebelled and betrayed his country.
How can he do this?
I believe you. His Majesty will also believe you.
The House of Zhu is an aristocratic family of centuries old.
How could it have any involvement with an insignificant Commandery Prince
who was banished from the capital city, filled with resentment, and wants to rebel?
Brother Bai, is everything you said true?
Of course, it is true.
Why would I lie to you?
Isn't Zhu Manor's shop in Xichu Province still open?
But we may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature.
At such a young age, you got tricked by the Commandery Prince and didn't know everything.
Who knows if Zhu Shou had the rebellious intent or not?
I guarantee that Zhu Shou will definitely not be like that!
Actually,
at that time,
I went with him to the Commandery Prince Manor.
When the court official and soldiers came, if not for the fact that I had coincidentally gone out of the manor,
I would also be in prison right now.
I know all this,
but I believe in you.
I also believe that House of Zhu is innocent,
but I don't know if other people will think similarly, too.
What should we do then? If this matter drags on,
then all the other people will think that Zhu Shou is involved with the rebellion.
Isn't it the end of House of Zhu then?
I have a solution.
The House of Zhu can make a declaration that it has no knowledge of this matter.
Miss is young, and you were just tricked by Zhu Shou.
In this way, your family will not be implicated.
Give up Zhu Shou and emphasize that you are innocent and will not bear the responsibility for this person.
This will ensure that nothing will happen to Zhu Manor.
Zhu Manor is the No. 1 merchant in Jiangnan.
Even His Majesty must be concerned that if Zhu Manor were implicated,
what the impact will be on the economy of Jiangnan.
Miss Zhu, isn't this so?
I understand the painstaking efforts that Brother Bai is taking.
But this Zhu Shou is the Chief Steward of Zhu Manor after all.
If he is found guilty,
it will still affect the reputation of House of Zhu.
Brother Bai,
can you help us all the way? Think of a perfect solution for me.
This...
Why don't we do this?
Zhu Manor will pay one million taels of silver as bail,
and Zhu Shou will write a letter of guarantee. I will then release him after that.
In order to let His Majesty believe that the House of Zhu is loyal,
I will represent the imperial family to acquire 10% of the shares of the House of Zhu for free.
I will also send a few accountants into your business.
Is Miss Zhu willing?
I'm willing! Of course, I'm willing!
The House of Zhu is definitely loyal to His Majesty.
To be able to be a trusted subordinate of His Majesty
is something that House of Zhu has never even dared to think about.
I just know that Brother Bai would not ignore my plea for help.
Thank you, Brother Bai.
We are each other's confidant. There's no need to show such courtesy.
No words can express my gratitude for your great help.
I will send someone over with the silver teals later.
I will not disturb you in your investigation of this case then.
Okay. Miss Zhu, please take care.
If I have time in the future, I'll meet up with you often.
We should help His Majesty earn more money.
Will surely do.
Borrowing Chen Yu's game plan,
I managed to gain control of the House of Zhu without using a single soldier of my own.
His Majesty should be satisfied with this outcome.
My Lady, can Chief Steward Shou be saved?
Xiao Xia, when you see Yuan Chong again, ask him
what he thinks about Bai Jianfei becoming the special envoy.
And how is the relationship between Bai Jianfei and Chen Yu?
My Lady, is there anything wrong with Bai Jianfei?
This Bai Jianfei makes me uncomfortable.
There was a time when I, Bai Jianfei, and Yuan Chong got captured by Dongfang Shi.
That man showed no loyalty to his friends,
and was extremely cowardly.
He's not cowardly at all.
He's very cunning.
I think what he wants today is to make the House of Zhu pay one million taels as bail,
as well as to take over our businesses.
At first, he mentioned nothing about money.
And then he tricked me into begging him step by step.
What's more, he seems to be especially interested in my relationship with Chen Yu.
My Lady and the Commandery Prince were very close back in the capital?
I'll tell you honestly. Chen Yu is the Lotus Robe Knight,
but it's surprising that Bai Jianfei should know about it.
Yuan Chong once disguised as the Lotus Robe Knight back in Suzhou Prefecture.
He must've noticed it from Yuan Chong.
You'd better tell Yuan Chong to be careful about him.
I'll tell him when I see him.
I hope Zhu Shou can get out of prison without trouble, and the House of Zhu won't get involved in this.
But too bad, Bai Jianfei was able to seize this opportunity to infiltrate our business.
I'm not sure if Zhu Shou and Zhu Fu can handle him.
When we get back to the shop, have Zhu Fu send over the money.
Yes, My Lady.
My Lady!
My Lady, I have sinned.
I slept too soundly that night and failed to get away.
When you're in urgent need of money, I cost you such a great amount
to pay my bail.
I'm ashamed to face the House of Zhu. Ashamed to face you.
Get up.
It's not your fault.
You and Zhu Fu should quickly think about
how to deal with the accountants that Bai Jianfei will soon implant in our business.
Zhu Fu's told me about this.
If His Majesty is only concerned about us plotting treason,
and sends someone to join our business, it's not necessarily bad.
We can take the chance to strengthen our business with the royal family.
But to be in the king's company is like living with a tiger. We should really be more careful.
I've considered it like that.
But I just believe there's no such thing as a free lunch.
So what we can do is to cope with what happens then.
Now is not the time to be hasty.
Chief Steward Shou, did you see our Young Master?
Did you?
I asked around in the prison.
The Commandery Prince was taken straight to the bottom level of the prison,
while we were kept at the first level; hence, I never saw him.
The bottom level of Xichu's prison... That's the Baisha (White Death) Cell.
- Yes, it is. - Chen Yu.
How will he ever get out?
Xiao Liu! You're sending yourself to death!
Miss Zhu, even if I am to lose this life, I still must charge into that prison and take a look!
I owe a great debt of gratitude to the Young Master. If he dies,
I shall not live alone!
Xiao Liu, your prince asked you to protect me, and you promised him it.
Miss Zhu,
I will protect you in the next life.
Chief Steward Liu!
Chief Steward Liu,
don't be impetuous.
In this rebellion case of the Commandery Prince of Dongping, there are a lot of fishy details.
If you breach the prison like this, things can go extremely wrong.
What's not clear about it?
In past treason cases, Emperors would rather kill a hundred innocent ones than let go of one guilty.
When the Commandery Prince of Dongping rebelled,
My Lady and Zhu Shou were both at his manor.
If Zhu Shou was really suspected to have plotted treason together with Chen Yu,
then why weren't you, the heir of House of Zhu, arrested as well?
Moreover, how was Zhu Shou released so easily?
Was it because they were afraid that the south would be in chaos?
Hearing what Zhu Fu said, this questionable point came to my mind.
I heard that the construction of the Commandery Prince Manor was sponsored by Mingyue Villa.
That was such a generous gift by Liu Qingwu.
Also, when Liu Qingwu was recuperating from her wound, she stayed in the Commandery Prince Manor for a long time.
In some people's eye, the relationship between the two was rather ambiguous.
Or I should say, rather good.
If the Commandery Prince were to plot treason, then Liu Qingwu, as the Master of Mingyue Villa,
should be more suspicious.
But right now, Liu Qingwu is kept in the prison of Dongping Commandery.
She wasn't transferred into Xichu's prison.
And we only stayed in the manor for a few days.
So how come we were suspected of treason?
If so, then there is a loop hole here.
They will definitely suspect me.
But their power is a lot bigger than mine.
So I have to give up the Dongping Commandery Prince Manor
and minimize all the power I have.
Chen Yu, you jerk!
My Lady, what's wrong?
- Nothing. - Miss Zhu, you must've figured out a way to save the Young Master, right?!
As long as you can save him, Xiao Liu will be your slave!
For such an idiot like you, who would want you as a slave?
We're all tired. Go get some rest. We'll talk tomorrow.
Miss Zhu, aren't you worried about my Young Master now?
After all this tiredness, I want to rest now.
Chief Steward Shou and Xiao Xia traveled so far to get here today.
Go back, all of you.
We need to feed ourselves and sleep well before we're able to think about saving Chen Yu.
Right now, we're all confused. We can't think of any good ideas.
Go back to your rooms, everyone.
If you dared to play tricks behind my back,
I'll refuse you even if you begged to be my slave.
Chen Yu,
this is all your stratagem. Is it not?
You've been in there for days.
If you were really just acting, at least let me know.
Aren't you concerned that I'll be worried?
My Lady.
Buqi.
Aren't you locked up in Baisha Cell where not even a fly could get out?
What on earth is going on? Why did His Majesty say you plotted treason?
- Did you really? Tell me! - Buqi.
If I were to be locked up in Baisha Cell for life,
locked up until I die, will you forget about me?
I don't know.
Buqi, just forget about me.
Go and be with Dongfang Shi.
At least, he's not convicted of treason,
and I believe that he really loves you, and will not betray you.
He might be good,
but I met you first.
I'll never forget about you.
What?! There's even a first come, first served when it come to things like this?
You're not him.
I just wanted to see if this was all an act of Chen Yu.
