[Episode 2]

Wait for me!

First Father, Second Father, Third Father!

Did you bump into a ghost or something?

Why are you running so fast?

Hurry.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

How come I can't even climb over such a short wall?

I can definitely deal with it.

This really hurts.

Big Head Yu!

Big Head Yu!

Retreat.

Crouch down.

Miss, who are you?

Me?

Did you lose your memory or something?

And you were trying to run away?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Let's go.

Go away.

Big Head Yu,

how dare you sneakily attack me?

How come she knows my name?

You brat.

Don't move. Hand over the pearl.

Aren't we supposed to hand over the pearl tomorrow?

Why are you haunting us?

If you dare to take action, I'll scream.

We might as well die together.

Your Highness.

Impressive, huh?

Your Highness, this way, please.

I'm Que.

What do we do?

- What do we do? - What do we do?

What do we do?

Do this!

Who's there?

I slipped.

[Nangong Yao]

- Your outfit is wrinkled. - What are you doing?

Let me straighten it out for you.

Your Highness, please stay.

I'll go and have a check.

Why are you following me?

I'm concerned about the safety of Your Highness.

Miss Mei, you are like

two different people in public and private.

What?

Who's there?

The trees are swaying.

Look.

They were swaying. earlier.

Where were you when the lunar eclipse appeared?

Me?

I... I slipped

and fell into a huge pit.

I have no idea who dug such a big hole.

Now my hands and feet still hurt.

As for that liquor,

was it your doing?

Don't you try to frame me.

That liquor was handed to me

by your sharp-voiced eunuch.

I don't know how to brew liquor.

You're just pretending to be ignorant.

Whether it's true or false, I'll find out for myself.

What are you doing?

My hand... My hand slipped.

Go.

Your Highness, please don't be angry.

I really slipped this time.

These shoes are too slippery.

Tell me, how many times did you slip today?

Does the Grand Chancellor's Residence not have enough money

to make you a pair of non-slip shoes?

Grand Chancellor's Residence?

Why would the Grand Chancellor's Residence

offer me shoes?

Are you really affected by the fall

or are you putting on an act here?

Let go of me. I need to go over there.

Let go of me!

Come here.

I didn't expect the Grand Chancellor's daughter

to be sophisticated in public

but vulgar privately.

I find you quite strange.

One moment, you suggest the Grand Chancellor's Residence

should offer me shoes,

and the next moment,

you're bad-mouthing others behind their backs.

You're really eccentric.

You're really...

I'm not bad-mouthing others.

Clearly, I'm just talking about you.

As a noble lady,

you dare to manhandle a man.

You're frivolous.

How dare you criticize me.

You...

You...

What is it?

It hurts.

Where?

My bottom.

The Crown Prince is unexpectedly vulgar.

There are thorns under my bottom.

Xing.

Your Highness,

I have carefully inspected the museum,

and there are no other anomalies.

Watch out, Your Highness.

It will be mine sooner or later if it's meant to be.

Where is my Moon Spirit Pearl?

It couldn't be with him, could it?

Miss.

Where are you, Miss?

Miss.

- Miss. - This is worth more than the pearl.

Miss, wait for me.

Miss.

Miss.

Oh, come on.

What's going on today?

Miss.

Don't come any closer! Stay away!

If you come any closer, I'll kill you, I swear!

Miss, wait for me.

Miss.

Miss.

Go away.

Miss.

Don't come any closer.

If you come any closer,

I'll... I'll cut her face!

- Alright. - Miss.

Don't cut her face.

Go away.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

You two, go check that side.

- Yes. - Yes.

Retreat.

Alright.

Calm down, Miss.

Don't come any closer.

- Don't come any closer. - Is it her?

- Yes. - Should we hit her?

Yes.

Go ahead and hit her.

Don't come any closer.

[Seventeen years ago] [The seal]

We've made a fortune!

We've made a fortune!

[The Runsi Army of Jixi] Each of us can have a house

- and get a wife. - Two wives.

Two wives.

Come on.

- Look at this chest of gold. - My brothers,

open the chest.

We've made a fortune!

Que,

is this the chest of gold you were talking about?

How would I know?

The... the escort team has left.

What... what should we do?

What should we do?

Either we return it to the escort agency,

or we dump it by the roadside.

Get down.

What are you doing?

We can't keep this thing. We must get rid of it.

Wait.

Little baby.

Which one of us can breastfeed her?

This thing must be thrown away.

Stop calling her a thing.

Look at how cute she is.

We have to get rid of her.

No.

Look.

We have to get rid of her.

Give her to us.

You are so annoying.

You stinky man.

So annoying.

You'll stay with us.

She really can understand.

In the future, if I, Xia Xiaodan, have food,

so will you.

You can have mine too.

Bosses,

we need to give her a name, don't we?

She'll be called

Poopy.

Get lost.

That's a bad name.

How can you call her Poopy?

So, what do you want to name her?

Douzi.

We'll call her Douzi.

She chose a name herself.

That's quite nice.

Douzi.

Look.

Douzi.

Cui,

what time is it?

There are still many things to arrange before entering the palace.

We can't delay.

Let's freshen up and get changed.

What gibberish is Douzi talking about?

Who are you people?

I'm your father.

Was your brain damaged because you had a big fall yesterday?

- I'm also your father. - I'm also your father.

- Was your brain damaged? - Was your brain damaged?

How dare you!

Stop teasing me.

Or else, I'll report you to the authorities

and have you been thrown into prison!

This child must have a fever.

Come, let me take a look.

I think it must be from the commotion last night.

She's delirious.

I'll handle it.

Get lost.

Well, she's obviously been bewitched.

We need to pinch her fingers.

Do not harm my hand. I still need to play the guqin.

What?

Guqin?

She plays the guqin?

This hand looks like it's used for picking cotton,

yet she says she plays the guqin.

Oh no.

This child's brain

is damaged.

Pinching her fingers won't work either.

Look at her.

Look at her.

It's like she's possessed.

Ms. Wang, the widow next door said

when one's possessed, we have to pour black dog's blood on that person.

Stop it.

It hurts.

Nangong Yao?

Oh, come on.

Isn't it just a dream?

Miss.

- What is this place? - Miss.

I've been chased all night

and this dream isn't over yet?

Whose shoe is this anyway?

Never mind.

When in doubt, retreat is the best strategy.

Good morning, Miss.

Are you here to see me?

Miss.

What's this supposed to mean?

Miss, it's you who instructed us to sprinkle flower petals

like this every day.

This way, every morning when you open the window,

you can smell the fragrance of flowers.

So, may I ask,

why were you chasing me last night?

Well, if you run, of course, I'll chase after you.

If you chase me, I have to run then.

Miss, why are you running away?

Who sneakily attacked me again?

Don't come any closer.

I'm not Douzi.

You've got the wrong person.

- Don't! -Don't!

You must have been frightened last night,

causing you to lose your mind.

What should I do?

Stop.

I haven't cried yet.

Why are you crying?

Tell me.

Who are you?

I... I am your maid, Cui.

You are my maid?

Then am I your young lady?

I am your maid,

and you are my young lady.

Which family do you work for?

I work

at the Grand Chancellor's Residence.

Miss, please don't scare me.

You're a maid from the Grand Chancellor's Residence,

then I must be the Grand Chancellor's daughter.

Tell me.

Does your young lady know any witchcraft?

What exactly happened last night?

Miss, what happened to you?

Last night, during the lunar eclipse,

all the other young ladies were escorted out of the museum,

but you were the only one who didn't come out.

I was frightened.

I knew something must have happened.

If that's the case,

the person my three fathers took away is...

Miss, where are you going?

Going home.

Miss, you're finally back to normal.

Quickly, help our young lady freshen up and change clothes.

- Yes. - Yes.

Come over.

Why are you taking off my clothes?

Don't touch me.

What a hassle.

I...

It's so hard to talk to you.

I'm thirsty.

Miss...

What is this?

This is salt water for gargling.

Why didn't you tell me earlier? I swallowed it all.

It's so salty.

Miss...

What's this now?

Miss, this is soapy water for washing hands.

Could you please stop putting these strange things

in front of me?

I really need to go home now.

- I want to go home. - Miss!

- Miss, wait. - What are you doing?

- Hurry and help her change clothes. - Yes.

Aren't I well-dressed already?

Why do I need to change clothes?

Miss, didn't you say it yourself?

Different occasions require different attire,

all following proper etiquette.

There are clothes for sleeping,

clothes for washing up,

clothes for meals,

and clothes for going out.

We can't wear the same outfit for everything.

There are different clothes

- for different purposes. - Alright.

I get it.

Let's get changed.

Is your young lady a chameleon in disguise?

Your Highness,

after blockading the museum last night,

I led the guards to search both inside and outside the museum

and interrogated all the servants,

but we did not find any suspicious individuals.

Folk weapon shops all have their own markings.

Buyers also leave information.

Go and investigate.

Yes, Your Highness.

What about the liquor from yesterday?

The liquor that Your Highness drank yesterday

was the Jade Spring brought from the palace

by Eunuch Song by the order of Her Majesty.

I've thoroughly inspected

all the liquor and liquor vessels

and found nothing suspicious.

The young ladies and palace maids also showed no signs of abnormality.

The Jade Spring tastes smooth at the beginning

but it's actually pretty strong.

Your Highness drank it for the first time last night,

so perhaps you had a bit too much.

Xingshi, you may leave now.

Yes, Your Highness.

Those girls mentioned entering the palace to study last night.

What's that about?

Your Highness,

Her Majesty is planning for your future.

If a suitable consort can be chosen from these girls,

it will silence those officials.

Rest assured, Your Highness.

These young ladies' families have had no connection

- with Shengdong for three generations. - Enough!

Forgive me, Your Highness.

Is Mei Yushan on the list of those selected

to enter the palace this time?

Your Highness,

the first one chosen by Her Majesty is Miss Mei.

However, Miss Mei's performance yesterday

was rather unimpressive.

If you're not interested in her,

just ignore her.

You may leave now.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

[Dongxi] I went to the Relief Organization

to investigate,

and it is indeed

as the Grand Tutor described

that there are disaster victims going missing every day.

And they are mostly young women and children.

This is so suspicious.

It seems I have to go and check it out myself.

Miss.

Miss.

Miss, wait for me.

Miss.

Miss.

Eating is the most important thing in the world.

Miss.

Your Highness.

[Guanyue Pavilion]

Why should I be afraid of him?

I'm the Grand Chancellor's daughter now.

Your Highness, are you here to have a meal? Come on.

This...

This is specially prepared for His Highness.

Nanbei.

You...

You and Dongxi may leave now.

It's all asymmetrical now. You...

Since you're here, just join me.

Come on, take a seat.

Sit.

I haven't touched this one, nor this.

Here, have some.

Can you hold the same food with both hands?

Either hold sesame cakes with your both hands,

or hold fried dough sticks with your both hands.

Sure.

Thank you. I'm not hungry.

I just care about symmetry.

So particular!

No wonder even the names of people around him

have to cover all directions: [*Nanbei sounds like south and north]

south, north, east, and west. [*Dongxi sounds like east and west]

Isn't the middle part missing?

Shouldn't he be called Zhonggong Yao [*Zhong means middle]

instead of Nangong Yao?

Forget it. I can't be bothered with you.

I heard you held your own maid hostage last night.

Why are you so nervous?

It's just a casual question.

I'm just curious why Miss Mei

behaves so differently in public and in private.

So when he called Miss Mei last night, he was actually calling me.

It was all

because of those people

who blocked me from going home

when I was in a hurry to get back.

Then, I was frightened again at the corridor.

- If you bring up last night again... - I...

I swear I'll kill you.

Such a big reaction.

I meant

the sudden appearance of two throwing knives yesterday.

I thought

you were referring to something else.

I thought

you were talking about your bottom.

Where does it hurt?

My bottom.

The Crown Prince is unexpectedly vulgar.

Mei Yushan!

Who?

Your Highness, calm down.

I won't mention your bottom again in the future.

You're still talking about it!

My father said

that one's good luck will go away if he pulls a long face.

You look better when you smile.

I'm full now, so I'm leaving.

You...

Miss.

Mei Yushan!

Miss!

Miss.

Miss, let's go back.

My friend,

I have important matters to attend to.

Let's part ways here.

I still need to find your young lady.

Miss,

let's go back.

Go back?

This is...?

This is for taking you home.

- Greetings, Miss. - Greetings, Miss.

- Greetings, Miss. - Greetings, Miss.

- Greetings, Miss. - Greetings, Miss.

Slow down.

Stop!

Miss, what's the matter?

I can't do this anymore.

I'll walk. I'll walk by myself.

Careful.

Miss, are you alright?

My father is right.

It's true that a mountain boar can't eat fine bran.

This sedan chair is swaying, which makes me so uncomfortable.

Well, Miss...

- [Huiju Grocery Store] - Welcome to come again.

I'm going to this store.

I'll come out soon and we'll go back together.

Wait for me here.

Don't follow me.

Yes, Miss.

Please.

How did the maids from wealthy families grow up?

If they were in the Black Dog Alley,

they'd be cheated out of everything.

Que Kuai'er, move aside.

You...

Tell me. What kind of witchcraft are you using?

I was about to ask you the same.

Quickly return my body to me.

That's an outrageous claim.

Clearly, you're the one occupying my body.

I'm occupying your body? I...

[Douzi, Mei Yushan] Lass.

Who occupied your body?

Second Father, this doesn't concern you.

I'll talk to you later.

You, come down.

What exactly is going on?

How am I supposed to know?

I fell down that day

and things turned out like this.

Fell down?

- Moon Spirit Pearl! - Moon Spirit Pearl!

Where's the pearl?

The pearl...

I lost it.

Who are you?

What gives you the right to lose the pearl

we spent so much effort to steal?

I...

You even tracked us down to this place.

What do you want?

- I'm here to see... - Don't hit her.

She's here to see me.

Move aside.

Miss,

I didn't sleep a wink last night,

and I finally figured out

why you're persistently chasing after me.

Right?

I've been living a solitary life,

but unexpectedly, when I'm at this age,

I've gained your favor.

Why does my desolate world

suddenly become so bright?

I'm willing to be with you.

Are you also possessed?

Get lost.

I'm not possessed.

Why would I be possessed?

If she didn't like me,

why would she smile at me?

Why would she cover for us to escape?

I'm Douzi.

Don't spout nonsense.

- You... - Big Head Yu,

have your hemorrhoids healed?

You dare to eat spicy chicken feet now?

Douzi, you brat,

you betrayed me.

And you.

Do you want me to bring

up the 59 rejected love letters

you wrote to Ms. Wang?

Darn you, Dan!

You've also written love letters to Ms. Wang?

And you.

Shouldn't you return the money

for that bone-strengthening medicine?

Gather around. I think she really is Douzi.

Yes.

You are driving me crazy.

Can't you even recognize your own daughter?

What on earth is going on here?

I have no idea.

Last night, it was pitch black,

and then somehow I ended up swapping bodies with that girl.

Swapping bodies?

Is that even possible?

Where's that girl?

How come it's you again?
