Oh no!

Wait.

What are you doing so early?

Don't wake the General and Madam. Let them sleep in.

Exactly. It's early. Let them enjoy some more sweet time.

We talked about life.

Yes. We dreamed about the future.

Physician, is it urgent?

It is urgent.

I'm terribly sorry.

Yesterday, I mixed up the truth serum and the love potion.

I feared the worst.

So I rushed over to tell you.

You people?

Yes. They got the medicine from me yesterday.

Miss Danruo.

Danruo, you set me up?

And Shijiu.

You...

You're mischievous.

And Old General Lu too.

Grandfather.

Xinnian, we took the truth serum.

It was supposed to be it.

But I got it wrong, didn't I?

Why create the love potion?

The truth serum was developed based on the love potion.

Could you possibly return the remaining love potion to me?

- No. - No.

Three doses of the love potion.

And you could even get out of bed this morning, General. Impressive.

Well...

That's because I'm good.

Come in.

Again?

It seems the recipe can be passed down through the generations.

Speak. Explain the whole thing to me.

My heart is always true.

Why need truth serum?

Affection is always there. Why need a love potion?

Xinnian,

every word I said to you last night came from my heart.

Truth serum or not,

believe me,

I'd never lie to you.

Lu Shiqi,

I really like...

I really like you.

I...

Xinnian, I will respect you.

Yunhe, listen to me.

So soon?

Look what you've done.

I have some tonic here.

Would you like some to recover?

Men are all the same.

Wait, Danruo.

I also have some medicine for bruises and sprains for you.

Keep it. General and I won't let you off.

Xinnian.

Xinnian.

Xinnian.

I was wrong.

I was wrong. Punish me however you want.

How were you wrong?

I...

I was wrong about...

Lu Shiqi,

with three doses of the love potion,

you didn't even touch me.

Am I really that unattractive?

And you said you loved me?

You don't love me at all.

You're angry about this?

That's not true. I just... I...

I wanted to.

I dreamed about it.

Beast.

Xinnian.

I... I really like...

Danruo.

Danruo.

You...

Why didn't you dodge?

You're holding anger.

If hitting me helps you vent,

then hit me.

You're human, not a scarecrow.

Don't let anyone hit you.

But you're not just anyone.

Shut up.

And now you're acting all wronged?

You're not the only one hurt by the love potion.

Hurt?

You think

you were hurt by it?

That's not what I meant.

I meant...

Shijiu, no girl would wish to be dosed with a love potion.

Danruo,

you don't want to take responsibility for me?

What? That's not what I meant.

Are you saying that because of the love potion,

you don't want to acknowledge our relationship?

But I genuinely like you.

You can't deny that.

Fine. I'll take responsibility for you.

Shijiu, from now on,

you are my man.

No divided loyalties.

Okay.

But

I still need to be the general's man.

I meant romantically.

Okay.

I swear,

in this life,

no, in the next life,

even the life after that, and the one after that too,

I will be Danruo's man, with no divided loyalties.

If I break this vow, may lightning strike...

My lord.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking about

marrying you into the manor as my wife as soon as possible.

But I find that not enough. As a heroine among women,

you should have been empress.

I'm too incompetent.

Being by your side, my lord, is all that matters to me.

You have great ambitions.

I will surely assist you

in achieving greatness.

Danqing, you got my message?

I did. Knowing you and Yunhe are safe

puts our minds at ease.

You said Lord Huai'en is plotting rebellion.

The Bloom Master was greatly shocked.

Since Lord Huai'en intends to use Bloom Lane to usurp the throne,

naturally, we can no longer associate with him.

That's good then.

What's the situation like now?

All is peaceful.

The Bloom Master's wish

is for you to quickly bring Yunhe, General Shiqi,

and Old General Lu back to the capital.

We have found evidence to exonerate the Lu family.

Really? That's wonderful.

Where are the others?

I got separated from them.

I'll find them soon and return.

Is this a bit...

Is this a bit too formal?

This is so hard without the love potion.

Maybe I should find the physician.

You dare!

If you dare drug me again, I'll make you a eunuch.

Danruo, listen to me explain.

I do respect you.

It's just that with matters like this,

I'm honestly not very experienced.

What are you doing?

By General Shiqi's order, we arrest Danruo, the spy.

Move!
