[Marry Me, My Devil Lord]

[Episode 9: Saving Leng Moyan When He Got Set Up]

You have nowhere to run.

Surrender now.

I don't think so.

Who are you?

We finally meet.

When did you realize something was wrong?

Since I found out

the owner of Lotus Wonderland is Prince Jing.

Prince Jing's Residence?

If he really wanted to assassinate His Majesty,

he wouldn't have hidden the assassin in his own property,

let alone make a move at his own birthday banquet.

The murderer's arrangement is

clearly aimed at diverting suspicion onto him.

Once we capture the leader of the masked men,

the truth will be revealed.

Unfortunately,

we still have no leads on the female "ghost".

I also interrogated those two Oirans.

Although they both had the Fallen Star River sachets,

they were not related to the ambush.

By the way,

when did you find out

that the performer at the banquet

was chosen by the Investigation Bureau?

She's also one of the Oirans at the Lotus Wonderland.

[Lotus Wonderland]

Miss Luo,

I can see that you have strong arms.

Have you learned martial arts?

Mr lord, I've been practicing dancing since I was a child,

so I'm naturally stronger than others.

I've never learned martial arts.

My lord,

this is the one who was in charge of selecting the performer that day.

Let me see.

Shi Jianchuan?

Is he really from the Investigation Bureau?

When did he come to select the performer?

It should be four days before His Highness's birthday,

on June 30.

Do you know

the consequences of framing an official?

Please spare my life.

Everything I said is true.

I dare not lie to you, my lord.

Five days before Prince Jing's birthday,

Jianchuan was assigned away for a mission

and no longer in the capital.

Are you still denying the framing?

Everything I said is true.

If I lie about anything,

may I be struck by lightning

and die a wretched death.

Fine, I'll summon him now so he can

confront you in person.

My lord,

the thief has quite skilled martial arts.

I couldn't defeat him

and let him escape.

Aren't you the best swordsman in the capital?

There's someone you can't defeat?

Winning and losing are both common.

It doesn't matter. Let me ask you.

Where were you on June 30?

I was chasing down a bandit in the Taihang Mountains.

Have you been to Lotus Wonderland

to select the performer for Prince Jing's birthday banquet?

Prince Jing's birthday?

Why would I select a performer for him?

I have never been to Lotus Wonderland.

But this Miss Luo

insists that

she saw you that day.

My lord, maybe my face is too common.

She may have mistaken me for someone else.

My lord, please believe me.

I'm telling the truth.

Alright, you can leave for now.

Thank you, my lord.

It's her. It smells exactly the same.

What should we do now?

I'll take her to the bureau for interrogation.

Why? I found her.

I recognized her real identity.

I'll take her to the Secret Guards Department.

Jianchuan.

Explain to her why.

Sorry, Miss Shiqi.

Leng Moyan, you stinky fox!

Oh.

Miss.

Who tied you up like this?

My lord.

My lord, Luo Qingchen has confessed it all.

She indeed followed the "master's commands",

disguised herself, joined the troupe of performers,

and posed as Consort Chen's ghost to assassinate His Majesty.

She fought with Mei Shiqi and escaped.

Did she reveal the identity of the master?

She said a man wearing a mask sent a message,

but she didn't know who he was.

Any news of the leader of masked men?

No, this person is cunning

and meticulous.

He didn't leave any trails.

Every person leaves a trace,

just like geese leave their tracks.

There must be clues.

Investigate carefully.

Yes, sir.

Let her sign the confession.

Send her to the dungeon,

and interrogate her another day.

Yes, sir.

Take her away.

Get up.

Lord Leng. Deputy Shi.

This...

My lord, there are no signs of torture on the corpse.

No signs of asphyxiation,

and no traces of poison.

How did she die then?

I can't tell.

She died through poison.

You may leave.

This is the cause of death.

Lord Leng.

Who gave this to Luo Qingchen?

It was me.

The evidence is clear now.

Lord Leng.

Please hand over everyone who has had contact

with the red ink paste to us.

No one else.

It was all me.

Lord Leng and the deputies were present during the interrogation.

It has nothing to do with him.

The ink paste for the Investigation Bureau's

major criminal was personally placed in the office

and taken out during the interrogation by me.

OK.

Shisan.

Yes.

Take Lord Leng and Shi Jianchuan

to the Secret Guards Department for questioning.

Yes.

Who dares?

Don't move.

What are you doing?

Everyone, stay still.

Leng Moyan, we are on official orders to investigate the case.

If your Investigation Bureau resists,

are you not afraid of dire consequences?

Step back.

My lord.

Everyone, step back.

Watch out!

My lord.

Cover Lord Leng!

Surround them.

Surround them now.

As an official of the court,

using such despicable means

is utterly shameful.

Hurry! Surround them!

Lock the city gate!

Search the entire city.

Yes, sir.

As an imperial official,

he actually used such despicable means.

Find him

at all costs!

Yes, sir.

Look.

We've been looking for days,

and still no signs of Leng Moyan.

How could we know

where he is hiding?

Why did you kill Luo Qingchen?

I'm at least a fifth-rank official.

How could you treat me like this?

Let go.

It's easier to tell the truth when you're embarrassed.

Isn't this the technique of your Investigation Bureau?

If you don't confess,

I'll bring ten people here to watch you.

The ink paste is mine,

but I didn't poison it.

Can't you see it's a setup?

Then why did you run off?

This is called escaping from punishment.

My office is heavily guarded.

The murderer not only knew

I'd use this ink paste for Luo Qingchen,

and poisoned it without being noticed.

This person must be an insider.

That's why I can't be captured.

So you're implying

there's a traitor?

Give me two more days.

I will prove my innocence.

No, as a secret guard,

it's my duty to arrest you.

Only His Majesty has the right to let you go.

You must go to the Secret Guards Department with me.

Then why did you save me?

-I... -You...

-You... -I...

I...

You...

I...

You're worried about me, aren't you?

Who's worried about you?

Shameless.

If you yelled just now,

the Secret Guards Department would have taken me away.

I... I just...

I wanted to take credit

for a promotion and a raise.

Oh, I see.

Falling flowers have intentions,

while flowing water

is indifferent.

What flowers and water?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you know,

even though I knew it was a trap,

why did I still go there?

How would I know?

Anyway, I said it's up to you.

And you came.

It's my fault?

Of course.

You...

What are you doing?

I've received countless love letters on the Qixi Festival,

but I've never gone to any appointments.

Even though I knew it was a trap, but I went anyway.

Do you know why?

Why?

If you don't know why,

why is your heartbeat so fast?

Nonsense.

Don't you think we're a good match?

What match?

Everyone's heartbeat is the same, okay?

Is it?
