[Cordial Companions]

[Episode 4]

[Prince Liang's Mansion]

That wretch!

Please don't be angry.

Maybe...

Maybe Su Moyi

didn't notice the problem of the short sword.

You fool.

Do you know who Su Moyi is?

He's from an aristocratic family.

He became famous at a young age.

He is well-versed in both literature and martial arts. He succeeded in the Imperial Examinations the first time to participate in them.

He's meticulous

and decisive when settling lawsuits.

It's only been a few years since he went to work in the Supreme Court,

and yet he's already the President there.

I know

you have always admired Su Moyi.

You're right.

But it's a pity that Su Moyi

always goes against me.

[The Supreme Court]

Those two people wanted to kill me.

It should be coincidental.

No.

It's a matter of life and death.

I can't take any chances.

For now,

it's safer for me to stay in the Supreme Court.

Qing,

I'm delivering the food.

Let me deliver it to Lord Su.

You?

Go. Go.

Don't get me wrong.

I didn't do it

because Lord Su carried me.

I have something to tell him.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Go.

It's true.

Don't you have something to tell me?

Yes.

First of all,

thank you for saving my life.

I know

you suspected

that I was an accomplice who helped to kill He De.

That's why you let me go deliberately.

You wanted to find who was behind it by following me.

Seems that you're not too stupid.

I admit

before I came to the Supreme Court,

I did receive the task to kill He De.

But after I came here,

the idea of killing him never occurred to me.

I don't dare to kill people.

Nor do I want to be killed.

I was an escort in Miduoduo.

To make money

to fulfill my master's last wish,

I was tricked by the agent to Wuming Intermediary Agency

and became a part-time assassin.

I don't know

those two people we met today.

But I can feel

that it was

quite dangerous.

After all that talking,

you finally got to the point.

My Lord,

I want to stay in the Supreme Court

and continue to work in the kitchen.

From a part-time assassin

to a part-time kitchen assistant,

it seems that you know a lot.

My Lord,

can you grant

this little wish of mine?

What do you think?

Of course.

[Miduoduo Escort Agency]

My Lord,

this is the Miduoduo Escort Agency.

I've investigated.

The old escort did pass away not long ago.

It seems that Miss Lin was indeed not the killer.

Miss Lin?

Since she's not the killer,

we can't

continue to smear her innocence.

But now,

we've lost all our clues.

How can we continue our investigation?

Don't worry.

They will act again.

[The Supreme Court]

Guard Lin.

What are you doing here?

I'm showing Lord Su

my passion and determination to stay.

My Lord.

The Supreme Court has a clear division of work.

You don't need to wear many hats in your job.

Just do your own job.

Thank you, My Lord.

My Lord.

The Lantern Festival is coming.

Shall we celebrate it as usual?

The Lantern Festival is coming!

Is there any special arrangement for the Lantern Festival?

Every year at the Lantern Festival,

the Supreme Court will…

I'm not telling you.

You...

[The Supreme Court]

My Lord,

are you really not coming with us?

I'm not interested.

Alright.

Why hasn't Guard Lin come yet?

♫At first sight, love's grasp is relentless♫

♫Soul entwined, dreams haunting, lonely nights in distress♫

♫Though I've roamed far and wide, forgetting proves in vain♫

♫Your smile alone makes my heart race♫

♫On that far-off road, I yearn for one more glance♫

♫The past's a fleeting memory, but longing's a heavy load♫

It's almost time.

Let's go.

Okay.

My Lord,

why haven't you changed yet?

♫Time's shifting sands carry my thoughts afar♫

Our lord is busy with work.

Just mind your own business.

♫Grandeur's end, I toast to yesterday♫

Let's go.

♫On that far-off road, I yearn for one more glance♫

♫The beauty of our time together is deeply imprinted in the past♫

♫With silver hair and years to share, who'll hold you close?♫

♫Though the song ends, I seek to prolong our prose♫

[Lantern Festival in the capital]

♫On that far-off road, I yearn for one more glance♫

♫The past's a fleeting memory, but longing's a heavy load♫

♫Time's shifting sands carry my thoughts afar♫

♫Grandeur's end, I toast to yesterday♫

♫On that far-off road, I yearn for one more glance♫

Supervisor Lai.

Just call me Lai Luo.

Lai Luo.

I think it's fun to be a guard

in the Supreme Court.

We can even wander around.

How can we really be here for fun?

Jinwu Guards are in charge of maintaining order.

The Supreme Court is to assist them secretly.

If something goes wrong,

we'll take action.

Lai Luo.

Look, there are lantern riddles ahead.

Let's play lantern riddles.

Lantern riddles?

Let's focus on our work first.

Lai Luo, it will be fine.

Or do you want to play something else?

I can play with you.

You?

Don't underestimate me.

I'm really good.
