Your Majesty,

I have something to report.

Speak.

Your Majesty,

the traitors

lied to Your Majesty.

Even if their bodies are burned,

we still can't appease the people's rage.

However, burning the dead bodies will pollute the air

and affect Your Majesty's health.

Your Majesty, please allow me

to dispose of the bodies at the mass graves.

His Majesty is the one

chosen by destiny.

There are no phantoms and spirits that His Majesty can't subdue.

It's just a few bodies.

There's nothing to worry about.

His Majesty's might is overwhelming.

Everything will be set right.

Your Majesty,

I think the bodies should not be burned in the open

because it ruins the image of the capital.

All right.

Lord Pei,

you're right.

I will

let you deal with

the bodies of these traitors.

I believe

you won't disappoint me.

I will

deal with it appropriately.

=Episode 25= (That day won't be too long)

Father.

Mother.

I'm unfilial.

I haven't gotten revenge

and I still let all of you be humiliated.

♪A single wish hard to fulfill♪

♪So close yet we say nothing♪

Governor,

everything has been settled.

I found a few bodies of criminals who were executed in secret

and burned them in the Shen family's place.

Did you burn them in front of the emperor's guards?

Yes.

♪If a single thought could take us back to those years♪

Mr. Shen. Mrs. Shen.

To be safe, I cannot make a tombstone for both of you.

When this is over,

I will organize a grand funeral

for both of you.

♪Recalling a bygone chapter of our lives♪

♪I have no regrets in this♪

Mother, Father. Rest assured.

That day

won't be too long.

♪To meet someday♪

Miss,

I made your favorite Cherry Pork.

Eat more.

You've lost so much weight over the last few days.

Just leave it here.

I'll eat it later.

Miss,

I know

you still have many things to do,

but no matter how busy you are,

you must take good care of your body.

Don't worry.

I still need to give you

and Yunqi

a comfortable

and stable life.

Miss,

I just want

to be with Young Master until he grows up

and be with you

until you get married and have children.

That's right, Miss.

One more thing.

Li Wan'er's nanny is here.

She wants to meet you.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

Lord Pei,

this item looks familiar.

Do you recognise it?

Your Majesty,

this ring's material and workmanship are top-notch.

Moreover, it has the Shen family's mark.

It should belong to the Shen family.

Didn't you burn the bodies of the traitors of the Shen family?

Why is his ring

still intact?

Most of the Shen family's assets have been seized.

However, the Shen family was rich

and had a wide influence.

Some of its assets might be purchased by other people.

Please give me some time.

I will surely find all the assets that belonged to the Shen family.

All right.

I've always been satisfied with your work.

However,

Consort Shu doesn't know what's appropriate.

I ordered her

to move out of Yanfu Palace.

I assign you

to send her to the cold palace.

Sister.

Sister.

I've caused you trouble.

Do you still remember the straw house we lived in when we were young?

This place is

so much better compared to before.

Moreover,

it's quiet here.

There aren't many rumors here.

I can finally take a break.

Sister,

with me around,

I will definitely solve this matter.

Consort Pei colluded with her natal relatives

to interfere in state affairs.

It is in violation of the ancestral injunctions.

She will be banished to the cold palace from today onwards.

Yu,

I chose this path myself.

Remember.

The more you care about someone,

the more that person

will be your weakness.

Sister!

Wait for me.

Her Highness says

this must be handed to you in person.

(For Shen Changning)

Run.

Hurry!

Let go of them!

Lian.

Young Lady.

It's fine.

You saved

my life.

I'm very happy

to save you.

I'm going to meet

Master and Madam.

I will tell them

that you will

support

the whole

Shen family.

Lian!

Sorry!

Sorry!

Lian!

I don't want you to die!

Sorry!

Miss,

I made your favorite Cherry Pork.

Eat more.

You've lost so much weight over the last few days.

Run.

Hurry.

Governor,

I've investigated it.

The assassin

is the emperor's guard.

Cry if you feel sad.

Don't keep it inside.

I won't cry.

I'm going to avenge Lian.

I'm going to avenge the Shen family.

(End of Episode)

Why would I feel reluctant

when she's just a courtesan?

The emperor sees the Shen family as a pawn.

Do you not see me as a tool, as well?

Governor Pei, you are great.
