Gu!

Chu Yu.

Protect the Eldest Princess!

Young Master!

Chu Yu!

Gu!

- My Lady! - Stop!

My Lady.

Be careful, Yu!

Hold my hand!

Hold on tight!

- My Lady! - My Lady!

Thank you, Yun.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Greetings, Your Highness.

No need to stand on ceremony.

Chu Yu,

how are you?

Your Highness,

I'm fine.

Impressive, Yun.

Catching someone with bare hands

is as easy as pie for you.

It seems that Mr. Gu

still can't let go of Chu Yu.

Indeed.

He instinctively tried to save her.

But Mrs. Gu...

Your Highness,

we've caught the assassin.

However,

he's poisoned himself to death.

Has his identity been discovered?

Not yet.

The body has been sent to the Court of Judicial Review.

I will definitely find out.

How dare the people of North Qi

cause trouble on my territory!

Your Highness,

it happened so suddenly.

There must be other clues in Qinxi Valley.

Please allow us

to seal off Qinxi Valley

for investigation.

Then I leave it to you.

You must get

to the bottom of this.

Yes.

Mr. Gu,

how is your injury?

It's not serious.

Miss Song has bandaged me.

I'm tired.

Hanmei,

let them all leave.

The auction banquet

is over.

Goodbye, Your Highness.

Chu Yu,

follow me.

I'll wait for you outside the door.

Seeing me here,

you seem quite surprised.

I was just worried

that Ms. Chu would fall.

Then it seems

that you must try harder

to hide your secret and expressions.

Anything good happened to you?

You look so happy.

I've only heard that General Wei Jun

was valiant

and rare in the world.

But just now,

Young Marquis Wei's moves

were also good.

I don't think he'd be inferior

to General Wei Jun.

Young Marquis Wei

is indeed a fine young man.

The only drawback is

that he has to go to the battlefield.

Otherwise, he'd be a good choice.

Naturally.

Chu Jin,

when you choose a husband,

you must be careful.

A man like Young Master Sun

is definitely not someone to rely on.

The eyes of Ms. Chu Jin

look very bright to me.

Why does she need your reminder?

You're not even worthy

to marry into the Wei family.

Ms. Chu Jin,

with so many things happening

at the auction banquet today,

were you scared?

Thank you for your concern.

(Qinxi Valley)

You promised me something

at the banquet just now.

Is it still valid?

I don't know if you like

to play pitch-pot.

I learned it with my brother when I was young,

but I haven't played for a long time,

and I'm quite rusty now.

I can teach you.

I'm very good at this.

One day,

I can invite some friends,

and we can go to the suburbs

to play pitch-pot and enjoy the spring.

What do you think?

Thank you for your kind invitation.

If I have time,

I'd like to see

your skills.

In a few days,

I'll send an invitation to your home.

Then it's settled.

When I choose a good day,

I'll come to pick you up.

Sure.

Then I'll take my leave now.

Goodbye.

Your Highness, please forgive me.

I didn't tell you

my plan for today in advance

because I didn't have solid evidence.

When you came to me that day,

I knew you had something on your mind.

Though I didn't know what it was,

I was willing

to trust you.

Today, I helped you again.

Will you trust me

in the future?

If there is a next time,

there is no need to go through so much trouble.

As the Eldest Princess of Great Sui,

I may be domineering,

but I'm also magnanimous.

I won't lose the big picture over small things.

So, you can directly tell me

in the future.

(Qinxi Valley)

Your Lordship,

get into the carriage.

I'll wait here.

I'm worried

that you'll catch a cold

waiting here for Ms. Chu.

What if you got a headache or fever?

If you keep talking,

I'll have a headache right now.

Your Lordship,

have you truly thought it through

about your feelings for Ms. Chu?

I have.

Ms. Chu is here.

I can see her.

Does the wound still hurt?

It's fine.

You must've been tired.

I've come to take you home.

Thank you, Young Marquis Wei.

(Yao Mansion)

How useless.

We had a perfect trap.

How could he escape?

Young Marquis Wei

has never been here before,

nor does he know the layout.

Yet he escaped so quickly.

Does he have

some supernatural ability?

Nonsense.

Someone must've helped him.

Go.

Bring everyone

who was on duty today.

I want to ask them in detail.

Yes.

Hurry up.

Also,

about that assassin in Qinxi Valley today,

I had him take the opportunity

to gather intelligence.

Instead, he directly attacked Chu Yu.

Has he gone mad?

But he's already dead.

Presumably, he didn't reveal

any other information.

(Duke of Ning's Mansion)

Father.

I'm back.

Where is Gu Chusheng?

Why didn't he come back with you?

He's gone to handle a case.

Do you need him for something?

I'll tell him when he returns.

You should rest early.

I heard he was injured today.

What exactly happened?

He was injured today

while saving me.

At this point,

you're still defending him?

Do you really think I don't know

what happened today?

Nowadays,

he still has an ambiguous relationship

with Ms. Chu.

What does he

take our family for?

Father,

Chu Yu is a strange woman

who will stop at nothing

to achieve her goals.

I can't compete with her,

nor can I outwit her.

How could Gu, who is so upright,

be a match for her?

I've seen

what kind of woman she is.

You're my daughter.

We won't be pushed around

by a woman.

Don't worry.

Since she bullied you

like this today,

I will definitely not

let her go.

Your Highness, you must've been tired.

I'll take my leave now.

Why the rush?

Grant Hanmei

a seat.

Since such a thing happened

in my place today,

I naturally need

to search thoroughly.

Indeed,

there are two culprits.

You secretly colluded

with the North Qi people.

You passed intelligence

to the North Qi people.

Also...

Hanmei,

what do you think I should do with them?

I'm innocent.

I did meet the North Qi people

during my travels,

but I certainly didn't commit treason.

Of course, I know.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Kill them.

Kill them right here.

I'm innocent.

I'm innocent!

What fun is there in just killing them?

Watching the expressions

on the faces of the dying

is the most entertaining.

Hanmei,

do you understand?

The people of Great Sui and North Qi

have suffered from the chaos of war.

You gave me

a new name and a new life.

How could I have any ulterior motives?

Keep running.

Why do you stop now?

Take out your money pouch.

We won't make it hard for you.

Take it out.

Let's go.

Come with me.

From now on,

no one will dare to bully you like this.

If you don't believe me,

then kill me

to prove my innocence.

I don't want to accuse you of anything.

I just don't like being deceived.

Otherwise, your end

will be the same as these two.

Do you understand?

If I really want to win your favor,

wouldn't it be better to say

that I'm from Great Sui?

Although I'm from North Qi,

I've never deceived you.

Your Highness,

you have always known

my heart.

I have never known

your heart.

How could I know?

But Hanmei,

everyone in the world can betray me,

but you must not.

Do you understand?

I won't.

Never.

(Joy)

This is our wedding night.

Where are you going?

We are both tired today.

Let's rest early.

Gu,

I know

today's events have exhausted you.

But we are already married.

In the future,

we still have plenty of time

to get to know each other.

I have waited

for a devoted husband,

so I won't give up easily.

Gu,

since you

have chosen to be my husband,

can we forget

about the past?

If you could forget,

you wouldn't have been so determined to marry me,

would you?

Give me some time.

Gu Chusheng.

Answer me.

Have you ever considered me

as your wife?

What have I done wrong

to let you treat me like this?

You still love Chu Yu, right?

Answer me.

Answer me!

Gu Chusheng, answer me!

Tell me. Do you still love her?

Do you still love her?

Answer me!

So what if I love her?

What do you take me for?

I can endure

the loneliness of not sharing a bed.

I can also help you

cover up in front of my father.

I've done so much for you,

and you just can't see it, can you?

Do you know how sinister

she is?

She is so ruthless,

and you still love her?

You have never let go of her.

So, why did you marry me?

Why do you have to torture me like this?

Don't you know

why I married you?

Take a look.

The Four Treasures of the Study.

Has Miss Song bandaged you?

Should we go to the clinic?

It's all bandaged up.

Let me show you.

I...

No matter what happens in the future,

don't hurt yourself.

It really doesn't hurt.

I'm afraid you're in pain.

Today...

What happened today

is indeed a bit strange.

I originally planned

to use the excuse of an assassin

to stall Yao Yong,

but unexpectedly,

there really was an assassin.

We put on a show,

and they took it seriously.

None of them is easy to deal with.

Yao Yong

is indeed very cunning.

Yes.

You came late today,

and I was worried

that you might be trapped.

I ran into Jue at Yao Mansion.

Jue?

It's me.

Chase!

Get inside.

Yun, why are you here?

Yao Yong might've committed treason.

I came to investigate this.

Jue,

I need a favor from you.

This is the map of Yao Yong's study.

The secret room marked here

may contain evidence

of Yao Yong's collusion with North Qi.

Feng's death

is also related to him.

Are you willing

to avenge Feng personally?

There is a window behind the four-poster bed,

leading to the parapet of the backyard.

You can leave through there.

As for what you want,

I will do my best.

Hurry up and leave.

Yao Yong is not a good person.

If he finds out

that it was Jue who helped you escape,

he won't let her go.

We need to come up with a plan asap

to save Jue.

I was thinking the same thing.

Today, I discovered

that he was hiding weapons at home.

He's planning a rebellion?

These weapons will definitely be moved.

But this trip today

was not entirely in vain.

As a high-ranking official

in the court,

how can Yao Yong do

such outrageous things?

How greedy

can a person be

to never be satisfied?

Great Sui and North Qi have been at war for years,

and the commoners are suffering.

As for us who are fighting in the war,

we only hope for peace in the world.

How can there be people like him

who don't care about others' lives?

Why should he be able to live well?

Why should he

keep getting promoted?

It's so unfair.

Your Lordship, My Lady,

we're home.

It's been quite a tiring day.

You should rest early.

What's wrong with Ms. Chu?

She looks so dispirited.

Did you confess to her?

Stop your nonsense.

(Virtue Shines Brightly)

Among thousands of flowers,

the one I want

is just this one.

I know I can't,

but if it's you,

I want to try once.

Linyang.

Jin has told me everything that happened

at the auction banquet.

If I had known,

I should have been there.

Linyang,

why are you blaming yourself?

Since you had a plan,

why didn't you tell me?

It's confidential.

To avoid alarming anyone,

I even

kept the Eldest Princess

in the dark.

Besides,

if I had gone back for no reason,

Yao Yong

would've become suspicious.

If you had told me even a little,

I would definitely have been there.

Perhaps,

you wouldn't have been hurt.

I kept it from you

to avoid implicating you

if the plan failed.

Yu,

I had no choice but to agree

to you marrying Wei Jun.

Now, I really don't want you

to risk your life

for the investigation.

Linyang,

it's about Father.

I can't think about anything else.

Nothing is more important to me

than finding out the truth

about Father's death.

I know you hate the taste of the medicine,

so I brought this topical medicine.

(As your eldest brother,)

(I'm not strong enough,)

(so you have to risk your life.)

Don't you know

what kind of person your father is?

He gave me two choices:

One was the path to success,

which was to marry you;

the other

was the path to death.

If it were you, what would you choose?

I thought

about death,

but what about the grievances

of my parents

and the dozens of lives in my family?

I have to clear their names;

I have to overturn the case.

Clear their names?

Overturn the case?

I don't know anything

about what you're saying.

All I know is that I love you.

What do you see in me,

such an unworthy man?

Chu Yu waited for me for five years,

and I could just marry you.

I'm following every step

that your father instructed me to take.

What more do you want from me?

To be good to you?

To fall in love with you?

Gu,

I can learn

those poems and songs

that I don't like for you.

I can even learn from Chu Yu

to be an eccentric

and free-spirited woman for you.

Don't leave me, okay?

We can't go back to the beginning,

nor can we fulfill our own wishes.

We have to swallow the bitter fruit

that we ourselves have sown.

You are like this,

and so am I.

But I am your wife.

Rest early.

Wei Yun,

why are you here?

Just passing by.

The Spring Breeze House is nearby.

Why come here to drink?

What's so good about the Spring Breeze House?

It's compartmentalized.

Even for a simple meal

or drink,

one has to put on airs to seem dignified.

Look.

How nice it is here.

People coming and going,

with hearts close to hearts.

I like it

here.

Ever since we came back from Qinxi Valley,

you've been in a bad mood.

Is it because of Yao Yong?

Guess

why I'm unhappy

because of Yao Yong.

Is it because of your father?

General Chu spent his whole life in the military,

devoting everything to Great Sui

and its people,

yet in the end,

he died on the battlefield.

Yet a rat like Yao Yong,

who betrays Great Sui and sells out his country,

can still live a good life.

You feel wronged,

don't you?

Why should my father

and those soldiers,

who fought so hard for Great Sui,

end up dead?

Why should a traitor

like Yao Yong

enjoy high positions

and rich rewards?

You and I will remember

their sacrifices,

and so will the people of Great Sui.

Our descendants will never forget.

Their sacrifices

will not be in vain.

We've been investigating all the way

from the Arsenal Bureau to Wei Tongfeng,

and now to Yao Yong.

How hard it's been.

We encountered dangers time and again.

Now, we've discovered

that he's suspicious,

but we can't just kill him

with our own hands.

What a pity.

Do you regret it?

Regret?

No.

I've never regretted it.

I will continue the investigation.

No matter how many of them there are,

or how powerful

the forces behind them are,

I will capture them with my own hands.

I will make them kneel before the graves

of our fathers and brothers

and those soldiers who died in battle,

and let them repent.

I will make them kneel forever.

I will do

what I say.

No matter how hard this matter is,

I am willing to do it with you.

Good.

- It's raining. - It's pouring.

Hurry up.

Wei Yun, come and see.

It's raining.

Landlady.

Two more jugs of Rose Dew.

Coming.

More wine?

I'm not drinking by myself.

I'm drinking with my father.

Wait a moment, here.

This jug

is for my father

and those brave soldiers.

I'll also toast to my parents,

my brothers,

and the soldiers

who died in Baidi Valley.

Also,

to those who sacrificed their lives for justice

and their families.

To what they did for the war...

No.

To everything they did

for peace.

Stop drinking.

Or you won't be able to go home.

Don't look down on me.

I can never get drunk.

You can never get drunk,

huh?
