You think you can kill me?

General, there's a snake!

To repay you for saving my life,

I wanted to make snake soup for you.

But it slithered into your quarters on its own.

This snake is so energetic.

It must taste good.

Go ahead. I'll await your snake soup.

Got it.

(Xinnian was terrified of snakes)

(and no good at cooking.)

(Yet he offers to make snake soup for me.)

(It seems he truly isn't Xinnian.)

General, the snake soup is ready. Please try it.

Yunhe, come closer.

Closer.

Even closer.

You're blocking the light. Step back.

Where's the snake gall?

It is steeping in liquor.

I'll bring it to you once it's ready.

Please taste the soup now.

Well, it's my old acquaintance.

You ungrateful wretch!

Why do you have to come one by one to your deaths?

According to your Lu's Army regulations,

what should be done to those who defy orders and superiors?

The Lu's Army will never yield to your tyranny!

Fine. Then I'll grant you your death.

Shijiu, drag him out

and have him drawn and quartered.

General, watch out!

Let's go.

Are you okay?

(Lu Shiqi is extremely vigilant.)

(This assassination attempt must fail.)

(I'll use this chance to gain his trust first.)

Yunhe, you have done a good job.

This bowl of snake soup

is yours as a reward.

But I made this for you, General.

Just accept the reward.

Drink it.

She's not poisoned,

but rather exhausted by some fright.

Not poisoned?

This bow looks so pretty.

Xinnian, don't be angry.

Fight when you can win,

run when you can't.

You are always covered in wounds.

It really doesn't hurt. Don't be angry.

Then hug me.

Hug me, and I won't be angry anymore.

General, are you alright?

Why is your face flushed? Let me check.

The pulse on your left wrist is strong.

The pulse on your right wrist is tight.

Not good.

Do you want to feel the pulse of my left and right feet?

No need for that.

But General, this indicates stirred emotions and desires.

Yes, I have desires to kill.

Tell me.

Could one change his gaze, actions,

and demeanor completely?

Well, if one experiences a major life upheaval,

it's possible for their speech and behavior to change.

But could a man turn into a woman,

or a woman into a man?

General, your condition appears more serious than I thought.

It requires immediate treatment.

General.

General, you saved my life.

I don't want you to fall ill.

Please take care of yourself, General.

(Why do his words cause me such heartache?)

General, you need treatment.

General!

(Lu Shiqi, has this face stirred your emotions once more?)

(No, not enough.)

(I will make this face your eternal nightmare.)

The snake soup I prepared for you wasn't meant to poison Lu Shiqi.

Don't forget your mission.

Though every time I see him I want to tear him apart,

I know finding evidence to exonerate the Lu family is paramount.

I will keep my patience.

It's been hard on you, Yunhe.

Soon...

Soon, I will find the evidence.

Soon, I will kill him with my own hands.

General, you summoned me?

Shijiu, come here.

General, if I have done anything wrong,

please punish me.

There's no need to be so gentle.

It only frightens me more.

I told you to come here, so come here!

General, that's more like you.

Tell me what to do.

Look at me with deep affection.

General, what is deep affection?

Eyes wide open.

Hold your breath.

And look at me.

Don't be cross-eyed.

Once more.

With deep affection.

What do you see?

I see your bright

and sharp eyes.

What else?

And under the eyes

those persistent dark circles.

(The wolf totem of North Land?)

(So you're the one who betrayed the nation.)
