Your Majesty,

I killed Talented Lady Su.

Wenxin, what are you doing?

Your Majesty, I poisoned Talented Lady Su

to avenge Wentang's death.

My Lady, I'm sorry.

I used your name to extort gold and silver.

I poisoned her.

I personally poured wine for Talented Lady Su.

Don't be foolish.

Your Majesty.

She has confessed. Seize her now!

Wenxin poisoned Talented Lady Su. Take her to the dungeon.

Take her away.

My Lady.

Take...

care.

(Wende Hall)

Your Majesty, trust me. Su Dai killed herself to frame me.

Wenxin confessed only to protect me.

I naturally believe you.

But Su Dai used her life to set this trap.

The evidence points against you.

If I investigate further, suspicion will fall on you.

What should I do?

I don't wish to put you at risk either.

I understand Your Majesty's concern.

But a maid's life matters too.

I can't sacrifice her to save myself.

Moreover,

Wenxin was due to leave and gain her freedom by year's end.

She was dragged into this because of me.

I know.

But Wenxin's confession is the quickest way to resolve this.

Otherwise, you'll be in danger soon.

But the truth should not be buried.

Wenxin is innocent.

I understand the law is strict.

Your Majesty can't be partial.

I beg Your Majesty to give me seven days

to uncover the truth.

Fine.

My Lady, I've gathered information.

That flagon was specially made by the Su family.

It looks unique.

This isn't sufficient proof.

We need to prove the poison was from Su Dai herself.

Question everyone who had contact with Su Dai.

Leave no stone unturned.

Understood.

My Lady.

What happened?

During the interrogation, someone forced Wenxin

to confess that she acted by your orders.

Wenxin refused to comply.

She took her own life.

What did you say?

Wenxin

is dead.

(Feng Qing.)

You're finally awake. You've been unconscious for three days.

How dare you! Who are you?

Feng Qing, what's wrong?

I saw you kill Eunuch Sun,

but I didn't tell Chief Li.

This was left when Eunuch Sun tortured me.

If you hadn't killed him,

I could have been dead.

♪No right or wrong♪

Now that I'm the Head of Yongfu Palace.

From now on, we won't have to fear being bullied anymore.

Greetings, My Lady.

(This position may seem good,)

(but it brings dangers.)

(Endless troubles lie ahead.)

(Do you still want to follow me?)

(Yes, I do.)

No matter what happens,

I'm willing to follow you.

I thought

you'd have a better life

with me.

But in the end, I caused your death.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

If only I could leave the palace too.

Then I would truly be free.

♪Wake to see once more♪

(It's Noble Concubine Meng.)

(She forced Wenxin to her death)

(and used Su Dai to set me up.)

(She planned it.)

(Wenxin,)

(I won't let you die in vain.)

(I'll make her pay for this.)

Watch out!

Feng Qing!

Quick! Summon the physician!

Yes.

(Feng Qing, I practice calligraphy every day.)

(Take a look.)

My Lady, my mother and I came to see you.

No need for formalities.

Thank you.

Father says you're ill.

This is an amulet my mother made for me.

I'm giving it to you.

Thank you.

I never knew you could make this.

No, I can't make this.

This was...

This was made by Mother Leng.

Mother Leng?

Noble Concubine Leng saved both Jingya and me.

Jingya always calls her Mother.

Are you okay?

This thread broke again.

The original thread worked much better.

You used an even stronger thread?

Yes.

The previous thread was...

It's a secret. Mother told me not to tell anyone.

(Mother?)

(So the "Mother" she mentioned)

(wasn't just Noble Consort De.)

So it was Noble Concubine Leng

who flew kites with you?

Yes, it was her.

(So, it turns out)

(the real culprit is hidden so deeply.)

(Noble Concubine Leng, you are the one who is behind it.)

Xuan.

Did you find anything useful outside the palace?

I did find the real culprit.

But it's not Noble Consort De.

It's Noble Concubine Leng.

How did you find out?

I just discovered it myself.

She asked Jingya

to steal the ice silk from Lanzhi Palace.

Those setting up the mourning hall

went to repair a temple outside the city in March.

The temple caught fire, and no one survived.

She silenced them in the same way.

I found an old worker's son.

(Testimony) He wrote his testimony.

Turns out the old worker remembered it.

(Oil) (Noble Concubine Leng had them)

(note the distance from the tablet to the candlestick.)

(He also spread oil on the ground near the altar.)

(And he covered it with wax.)

(Once the candle stand fell, the heat would melt the wax,)

(starting the fire.)

No wonder the fire spread so fiercely.

I had no chance to escape.

It's easy to make someone die unnoticed in the Cold Palace.

I'll go kill her right now.

No.

If I just want her dead, a single strike will suffice.

But what I want

is to expose her scheme

to murder the Empress with that fire.

Now all eyewitnesses have been silenced.

This testimony alone

isn't enough to convict her.

We need to find another way to...

His Majesty has arrived!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

How is her recovery?

She fainted from excessive grief.

It takes time to recover.

I know you're grieving over Wenxin.

Prepare yourself a little. I'm taking you somewhere.

Now?

Come and take a look.

Young lady, come take a look.

Look at the scenery outside.

I have no heart for scenery.

Come on. The sunlight is lovely.

It might lift the gloom in your heart.

Remember,

(Yunxi Teahouse) take it with warm water.

Alright.

Don't use cold water.

Take it on time.

Okay, I'll head back now.

Thank you.

Take care.

Let me check on him.

Go inside.

Wenxin.

The Su family made a fuss.

Noble Concubine Meng was also aggressive.

You said Wenxin longed for freedom outside the palace.

So I made a plan for her to fake her death to leave the palace.

I didn't get a chance to tell you before you fainted that day.

Your Majesty, I truly appreciate all you've done for Wenxin.

I wanted to arrange a job for her, so she could survive.

But she's definitely your maid.

She's got real spirit.

You taught her to read.

She found work at a pharmacy

copying prescriptions.

Would you go down and catch up with her?

She's living the life she longed for now.

Why should I disturb her peace?

I only wish for her peace and freedom.

She should be most grateful to Your Majesty for giving her freedom.

I did all this for you.

I just want you to know

that whatever you decide to do, I'll support you.

Would Your Majesty like to go for a walk?

Good idea.

Don't eat cold stuff anymore.

Here's your medicine.

Okay.

Take it on time.

Thank you.

Hey, young lady.

Someone asked me to bring you something.

This hairpin suits you very well.

It's yours.

It's so beautiful.

I bring a message from Your Highness.

There is no maid named Wenxin anymore.

But she will always have a sister.

Where would you like to go?

Wherever you tell me to go.

♪Once a lonely sail, without a guiding light♪

♪With the warmth you lent me, how could I fear loneliness♪

I hope

the common people could live a peaceful life.

Do you envy Wenxin,

living a peaceful and free life?

Yes, I do.

But as a woman of the imperial family,

enjoying the benefits,

I should take my own responsibility.

Across the whole nation,

every common folk's life...

- It depends on a good ruler - It depends on a good ruler

- and virtuous governance. - and virtuous governance.

I know you are kind-hearted,

wise, and open-minded.

Nothing can't confine you.

Would you join me

in guarding the people

and the splendid land?

(Qing, in any capacity,)

(you always shine so brightly.)

(The one to stand by my side will only be you.)

Will you walk beside me, day after day, year after year,

for all our lives?

I wish to move forward with you in good times

and in bad times.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I have urgent news to report.

What is it?

Noble Concubine Leng

is going into labor.

What?

Noble Concubine Leng?

♪Once a lonely sail, without a guiding light♪

♪With the warmth you lent me, how could I fear loneliness♪

♪Day and night together, sharing joys and sorrows♪

♪Searching all under heaven, my heart won't change♪

♪Fate in haste, looking back countless times, you swayed for me♪

♪Among a vast sea of people, faintly seeing the old self♪

♪Scenery along the way, looking back, love finds its echo♪

♪Watching the bustling world together, we write more verses♪
