Your Highness,

I'm sorry for keeping it from you.

I have someone I like.

But I thought it over

before breaking off our engagement.

[Why is Shen Miu here?]

I've always been a coward.

It took me a lot of effort

to face my true feelings.

You've always been fearless.

I hope you

can also face your true feelings.

Shen Miu likes Sister Zhaohua,

but she likes the Prince.

Jiang Zhu.

Sister Zhaohua,

I'm indeed different from normal people.

I...

I am...

Jiang Zhu,

I was indeed afraid at that time.

I'm sorry.

I should have come to apologize first.

Are you

afraid of me?

No.

Are you

still willing to be my friend?

Yes,

I am.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival,

we can make moon cakes.

Sister Zhaohua,

I know you like the Prince.

But are you really

never fall in love with Shen Miu?

He's just a stubborn guy.

He's tough on the outside,

but soft on the inside.

He's not that bad.

I relied on his protection when I was young.

But I will never

fall in love with him.

Your Highness,

what exactly happened?

Qing,

do you remember

why His Majesty

my name?

Yes.

He wanted to remind you

not to make any mistakes.

Once I made a mistake,

he would lock me up

and punish me with a whip,

telling me

that once a person makes a mistake,

he must bear

the consequences.

But what did you do wrong?

I fell in love

with the wrong person.

I deserve to be punished.

[Where are you, Shen Miu?]

[Please be safe.]

Your Highness,

are you sure?

I'm willing to accept punishment

and continue to make mistakes.

Qing,

do it.

[He's not Xiaoyun.]

[Why do I feel so sad]

[at the thought of his death?]

Why are you here?

I know

why you're so resistant to me.

But I don't want to die.

I don't want you to die either.

What are you doing?

You can

see me as Sister Zhaohua.

Did you

go find another Jade Gentleman?

No.

Your hairpin has fallen.

You are you,

not someone else.

I don't need it.

Your legs need more care.

I heard you and the uncle

have broken off the engagement.

Does that mean we can...

The engagement was broken off because

if this marriage were to be completed blindly,

it would only turn a mistake

into a bigger one.

Just like your leg,

my life

needs timely treatment.

So you came

to Bichen Palace today

just to treat my illness?

Not entirely.

There are plenty of physicians in the palace.

They don't need me.

After the Flower Festival,

I'll go to His Majesty

about us.

But the Flower Festival is so grand.

You want me to be the Floral Deity.

I'm a bit worried.

All past Floral Deities

were chosen for their virtue and talent.

You're literate, skilled in medicine,

and have been treating patients

and helping the poor.

You're the perfect choice.

However,

I'd like your input on

to be the envoy of the Floral Deity.

What do you think of Jiang Zhu?

She's agile and has protected me several times.

I'm familiar with her.

She's a good choice.

I've searched every corner

of the Falling Mist Forest.

But I found no trace of the Jade Waist Servant.

It's my incompetence.

Please punish me.

I've searched for twelve years without any clue.

What's the point of punishing you?

Your Highness,

the Jade Waist Servant is a great threat.

We should send more troops

to strengthen our forces.

Enough.

I'm already working on

other solutions.

You've been working hard lately.

Take a break.

Shen Miu,

you've been acting strange lately.

You always do as I say,

but you're avoiding me.

Is something wrong?

I...

My cup's fallen.

It hasn't.

Your Highness,

an imperial decree has arrived.

Floralia?

Floral Deity Envoys?

What are these?

The Floralia is our grandest festival.

The royal family and commoners pray together.

This year's Floral Deity is Lady Qin.

On the day of the festival,

she'll lead the blessing ceremony,

and I'll assist her in completing it,

as well as ensure her safety.

So, I'll be Sister Zhaohua's

guardian.

That's wonderful!

Qing,

prepare the carriage.

But...

Now!

Yes.

Where are you going?

I'll take you out of town.

Five days later, I'll be back.

Go back where you came from.

You're sending me away?

I can protect you.

This

has nothing to do with protection.

Then what's it about?

You don't need to know.

This is my business.

Why can't I know?

Shen Yuheng is in full charge

of the Flower Festival.

He personally

picked the envoy.

He knows who you are.

He must have his purpose.

But

that's an imperial edict.

If I leave,

what will happen to you?

I have my way.

I've been living in the mansion

for a long time.

I've got along with everyone here.

If I leave,

I'll get the mansion into trouble.

All right.

Don't worry.

I'm still here

in the mansion.

But...

Your Highness.

Bichen Palace sent someone to pick up

Miss Jiangzhu to the palace.

All right.

Maybe you're just overthinking.

He once saved my life.

- He definitely won't... - In your eyes,

he's your savior.

But in his eyes,

you're just a Jade Waist Servant.

You once said,

once people understand me,

they won't be afraid of me anymore.

Shen Yuheng is the Prince.

He will use you.

I grew up in the palace.

It's full of schemes.

Your trust

will become

worthless.

You're worried about me,

so you're trying to stop me.

You used to treat me as an aberration,

and even wanted to kill me.

But you see, you're starting to understand me.

I'm also starting to understand you.

You've shown me that people have many facets.

My intuition tells me

that the Prince isn't like that.

If

he truly is

a despicable person,

then I'll...

What would you do?

I'll stop being his friend.

So naive.

Alright.

We both know that the imperial decree

can't be changed.

Shen Miu,

if this is a bet,

will you let me be reckless for once?
