(Wolf Grass)

Your Grace.

I can't buy threads anywhere.

How's that possible?

Did you search everywhere?

I did.

Yepei.

Don't forget our rival.

That's way too wicked.

Your Grace,

what do we do, then?

I get it.

I'll steal some tonight.

Such an idiot.

Why would she

let you steal her threads?

Then what do I do?

I don't know, either.

Are you all right?

(Horse-unhitched Tree) Sabotage it now?

I...

The root of the Horse-unhitched Tree

is rough and pliable.

It's tailorable.

Lianhuan.

Dig out some of the roots.

Lianhuan.

You strip the bark off the root.

Yepei.

You and I

reel off the silk and rub it into fine threads.

But...

To peel and reel is hard enough.

To make it into thin threads

for the eye of the needle

would be way too difficult.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Does it hurt?

It's all right.

Your Grace, how about you get some rest?

I'm really fine.

Let's go on.

But Your Grace...

I said I'm all right.

Move on.

Miss me that much?

What about you?

You could have climbed up walls.

But you walked and stopped like an old man.

To lure me here?

If you didn't want to get me, you wouldn't.

A thief sneaked in.

Why would I not get him?

You caught the thief.

Punish him now.

Before that,

I want to know

why he sneaked in.

For one thing

and one man.

What thing?

What man?

Some old stuff.

Some old friend.

Liar.

You want to see me,

but you just deny it.

Aren't you a liar, too?

I'm not.

Fine.

The other day,

I read about something.

Why don't you interpret it?

Go ahead.

The wind blows away the clouds.

The frost in the sky is desolate.

You...

When did you see that?

I wrote it casually.

Don't take it seriously.

It's been a long time.

You've learned to lie.

I learned that from you.

What are you really doing here?

I told you.

For some old stuff.

Why were you disguised as a performer?

To see you.

Nonsense.

Don't get me involved.

You have a death wish,

but I want to live.

So, you actually want to see me

but just don't dare to.

Don't be silly,

or I'll call for help.

Your Grace.

Is that you talking?

Leave. Get out of here.

Stop risking your life.

When I'm out,

I may not come back again.

I don't care.

Yepei,

I'm in bed.

(Yufu Pavilion)

How does it look?

Amazing, My Lady.

His Lordship will love this.

This time,

I'll see how she can overwhelm me.

You love this patio, huh?

It's cool here.

You walked in like that.

What if guards find you?

It's where the late lord died.

Now, it's late.

Nobody will come.

And you're waiting for me.

Who told you that?

Why did you send away Lianhuan and Yepei?

It's too late.

They're asleep.

So, I came at a bad time.

Wait.

Since you're here,

do some work before you leave.

The color...

Before soaked in water,

such threads can't be dyed.

Did you try so hard to come here

just to do such rough work?

Don't try to provoke me.

You know what I want.

Even you don't know what you want.

How would I know?

What do you look at me?

I certainly know what I want.

Then keep thinking.

Don't tell me.

You know that, too.

Get up.

Have I lost weight?

Don't ask questions.

Don't make fun of me.

I missed you too much.

Don't be glib.

Let me see.

Don't laugh when you're injured.

You even bit your finger to write something.

Where's the note?

Terrible handwriting.

I dumped it.

Press it.

The rest of it...

You do it for me.

- I... - I know you want something in return.

I've made up my mind.

After it's done,

I'll give you a present.

Don't laugh when you're injured.

Oh, My Lord.

Lady Youjia

really has amazing embroidery skills.

I checked it carefully.

My Lord, the hunter in the embroidery

seems to be you.

She did go all out on this embroidery.

Zhu Jun,

I love this embroidery of hunting.

Get a craftsman to frame it.

I'll hang it up.

Yes.

Why hasn't Lady Beishuang's embroidery

been delivered yet?

It was delivered.

But...

Bring it up.

The wristbands...

They look rather rough.

My Lord, Lady Beishuang is out there.

She has something to tell you.

Get her in.

Get in here, Lady Beishuang.

Greetings, My Lord.

Lady Beishuang,

what do you mean?

Youjia's embroidery

is highly collectible

in either technique or aesthetics.

But my embroidery

has some other purpose.

It does?

Lianhuan.

General Wu, I've heard

you have great martial arts

and your sword is sharp.

Why don't you try and see

if you can pierce my embroidery?

Get it to me.

What is it made of?

My Lord,

I made this

with the root bark of the Horse-unhitched Tree.

It can be used to repair the roof.

It's waterproof and fireproof.

Some hunters also make it

into protective gear and armor

to prevent the biting or attacking from beasts.

I read the Herb Volume and got to know

the threads made of such root bark

can resist blades.

So, I made the wristbands.

My Lord, who do you think wins?

I really

love these wristbands.

But letting you win

over the wristbands

would be unfair to Lady Youjia.

After all, it's a needlework competition.

Whatever falls out,

it is my honor to help you, My Lord.

My Lord,

about the winner...

There's hardly a winner.

How about...?

Umm...

In ten days,

the two ladies

can cook for His Lordship

and see who's the winner.

What do you think, My Lord?

You had a terrible idea.

If Huang Beishuang had used the threads,

she couldn't have defeated us.

But now,

she took advantage by accident.

My Lady, I...

I didn't know why she could use

such a dirty trick.

Forget it.

Huang Beishuang is rather scheming.

She used some root bark

to make a pair of wristbands

and made His Lordship happy.

In the next competition,

we must not take her lightly.

Don't worry, My Lady. Next time, we will win.

My Lady.

Take this.

Pendants for sale.

Take a look.

Let's go over there.

As the supervisor of the arsenal,

Qin Duo doesn't come out.

Chief,

is the intel reliable?

It's been a while.

There's no sign of him.

Be patient.

Chief.

Chief,

Boa Agents sent the intel.

Princess Xinwei is found.

- She is? - Where is she?

She was sold to a brothel

named Zuixiang Brothel.

Come have a look.

The two of you go with me.

Do two things in one place.

Let's go check it out.

Chief,

what is a brothel?

Ask him.

You should at least have heard about it.

I'd like to see it.

Let's go.

- Watch her. - Gentlemen, enjoy yourselves.

- How's that mad girl? - Madam.

Thank God you're here.

It's been five days.

She hasn't eaten much.

But she's still fierce.

We don't dare to get in there.

Come on.

You're still inexperienced.

You should move circuitously.

That's right.

So, we're waiting for you.

Count on me.

Be careful.

- Just a mere girl. - Come on.

I will make you obey.

Come out!

Get lost!

- Get out of here. - Make way.

Hey, I don't buy this.

- When my man is here... - How daring?

He'll take down this place!

Get out!

Get out of here!

Oh, Madam.

Are you all right? Get up.

Bah. You terrible girl.

How dare you resist?

If you didn't look pretty,

I would have sold you as a maid!

How ungrateful you are!

Get lost!

Madam, what do we do?

Keep her here for some days.

Let's go.

- Close the door. - Yes.

Fierce, indeed.

Screw you.

Gentlemen,

the sun is still out.

How about you wait for a while?

I can't wait.

Good things always take a while.

The girls haven't finished

their makeup.

- Freeze. - What do you want?

Please don't.

Get me the pretties girls here.

Sir, let go of me.

I'll get them to you, all right?

How about the girl upstairs?

Let her entertain them.

Sir,

it's still early.

The girls

aren't ready yet.

But the other day,

we had a new gorgeous girl.

She's just a little bit shrewish.

If you like her,

I can even give her to you for free.

Where's she? Bring her to me.

Go get her. Hurry.

All right.

She'll be brought to you.

Move. Behave yourself.

Let go of me.

- Get her down. - Let go!

Behave yourself.

You've starved for days

- but still struggle. - Stop.

- Come over. - Let go of me.

Move.

Sir, there she is.

Ruo Wen?

Where have you been?

They know each other?

Do I know you?

You get the wrong guy.

Not at all!

Where have you been?

What took you so long to save me?

Oh, they know each other.

I took my men here for some fun.

If I knew you were here,

I wouldn't have come.

Do you know what I've been suffering?

They bullied me, starved me,

and even forced me.

No, no.

- We didn't. - That's not true.

You're fierce, aren't you?

How could they bully you?

That's right.

How did they bully you?

Show me.

Get out of the way!

- Behave. - Oh, sir.

Please don't.

You want to know how they bullied me, huh?

That's what they did to me.

Like this.

- They kicked me and hit me. - Mercy, Miss.

Stop hitting me.

Please stop.

Stop.

♪Unexpectedly, my life is worth my while♪

Feel good now?

Then think of how

you'll repay me.

What do you want me to do?

Ruo Wen.

Ruo Wen.

Tonight, we'll use your place.

You'd better cooperate.

All right. No problem, sir.

Chief,

we've got news.

Sit down.

With Ge Xinwei's portrait,

our men asked some people in Enaqi.

They all said

she is the princess of Enaqi.

She's been naughty and wild.

I also sent someone to Masui to confirm it.

It's indeed the Lady of Masui

who died outside our city gate.

So, the two of them fooled everyone

and switched identities.

I guess this is destiny.

Your Lordship, a woman outside the city

claimed to be the Lady of Masui.

She wanted to see you

and seek asylum.

Soldiers of Masui have caught up

and are trapping them at the city gate.

Orders, Your Lordship.

Will we help?

I once pushed my luck.

I wished

I heard that wrongly.

Unexpectedly,

I indeed got her mother killed.

Chief,

since ancient times,

the mother's murder

can never be forgiven.

Your engagement with Miss Beishuang

may not be fulfilled.

Your Grace,

have something to eat.

You didn't sleep last night.

You should get some rest.

Later, we'll prepare

for the cooking competition.

What if you're too exhausted?

Your Grace?

According to the Herb Volume,

the twin fruit tree originates from the north desert.

At first,

it wasn't hallucinogenic.

Transplanted in the south desert,

it became hygrophilous and waterlogged.

Then its sap was hallucinogenic.

Plants are always dependent on climate.

Maybe

the Climate Volume is the second.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Enjoy your food, gentlemen.

I'll get some girls to you.

Come on. Come this way.

Come over. Sit here.

Enjoy the food and drink.

Come on. Fill my cup.

How do you like the dishes?

What are you waiting for?

Fill his cup.

- That way, please. - All right.

Come on. Sit in there.

She's the new girl. Hope you don't mind.

(Zuixiang Brothel) See you, Mr. Wang.

Bye. Welcome next time.

Or I'll miss you.

Welcome next time.

Come in, please.

Welcome, Mr. Qin.

- There you are, Mr. Qin. - Come in.

Are you a new servant?

You're sharp-eyed.

Come on, gentleman.

Are there any new girls?

When you're here,

we offer all kinds of girls.

I'm bored of the same girls.

Mr. Qin,

we have a new girl.

Really gorgeous.

Shall I take you to her?

- Sure. - This way, please.

- Go. - Come, please.

This way.

How do you like the dishes?

This way, please.

Come on.

There you go.

Pretty girl.

Good.

She's gorgeous, indeed.

Mr. Supervisor,

how about I give her to you?

That'd be great.

Be patient.

Take your seat.

- Come on. - Hurry.

Drink some wine

and get more excited.

How do you know I'm the supervisor?

In Yunpei,

everybody knows you.

Clever boy.

Tell me what you want.

Can you really offer

what I want?

We can make a fortune together.

I'll make you rich.

Nice.

Beautiful and vigorous.

I love it.

Be patient, Mr. Supervisor.

She's gorgeous.

But you have to be careful.

She's a femme fatale.

I'm not scared.

Shall I give you an offer?

Work for me

and you'll get an official post.

Get out of here now.

Get out.

Now!

Get out!

Chief,

will it work?

Will she lose out?

I saw her make others lose.

She loses out? Never.

Don't think I don't know

you and that servant set a honey trap.

What do you want from me?

I just don't want this to rub me.

Oh, really?

Now, it no longer rubs you.

Time to make me happy.

Where do you think you can run?

Don't be scared, pretty.

As long as you make me happy,

you can tell me whatever you want.

Pretty, here I am.

- You have a death wish! - Outrageous!

How dare you?

Scared?

Not at all.

Don't try to be strong.

Move aside.

Chief.

(Beishuang,)

(in this world,)

(I'm the worst guy for you.)

(The engagement set by our fathers)

(chained me.)

(When I tried to break out,)

(I got your mother killed.)

(Destiny actually brought you to me.)

(But I lost you.)

(Who am I to approach you?)

(How do I have the face to beg you for forgiveness?)

I knew you would come.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Nothing.

It's late.

Get back to sleep.

I should leave.

Wait a minute.

An armor made of the root bark.

You don't like it?

- Then I... - I like it.

Get some rest early.

Today,

you look a little bit weird.

I'm just tired.

It makes sense.

It's late, after all.

You should go back.

If anything bothers you,

you can tell me about it.
