Wash it yourself.

Help me.

Father.

What happened?

Brother bullied me again.

Help me wash it.

I bought you candies yesterday.

No.

Hands will be hideous if they are soaked in water.

Hands will tremble in practising calligraphy.

Come on, your calligraphy?

You will be more ridiculous after you get married.

Nonsense.

I want to see who will make my daughter touch the cold water.

Father.

I won't marry.

Ok.

Did you hear it? Go wash it yourself.

Did you hear it? Wash it yourself.

Yes.

Ok?

Go.

What do you want?

Let me go.

Let me go.

Frisk.

What do you want?

Give it back.

Give it back.

You can talk.

A keepsake.

Give it back.

Give it back.

See what's in it.

What are you doing?

Give it back.

Get it.

Why are you back so late?

Have you taken the dinner?

What do you need?

You can tell me.

Where is maid Chen?

Maid Chen was just...

In the backyard.

Why...

Why send her here?

It's a serious matter.

And she is...

I really can't make the decision.

Just take her back.

If you offend the crown prince...

She did already.

This time who is in trouble?

Your Royal Highness

She threw the charcoal and injured people in the laundry department.

And burned half a room.

You are such a troublemaker.

Why?

It's said for a keepsake.

Someone saw she fornicated with an eunuch.

And the eunuch gave her the keepsake.

What keepsake?

She refuses to hand it over.

Your Royal Highness, I am sorry.

I did everything I can.

But we can't have her hands...

Really a keepsake?

Eunuch?

Is that the one that gave you the cheese?

What are you planning?

Take it out.

You probably don't know the maid with adultery will be flogged to death.

If not, I can...

It's keepsake.

Who is he on...

None of his business.

From beginning to end, I am too thick-faced and have wishful thinking.

He returned it back to me.

Ok.

Then I will help you.

Guards.

Take her away.

Have her flogged.

Flogged.

Flogged.

Forget it.

I am here to beg you to have mercy on her.

You can't punish her until she recovers from injury.

You.

When?

Why still in the trouble?

From that time.

How's it?

You are unhappy?

Just teach a maid a lesson.

You still want to pretend you are a teacher like He Daoran?

I just wanted to advise you to let it go.

But I didn't expect you would let her sink so deeply.

If your maids know these, I am afraid you won't keep your territory.

Are you not here to tell me the maid, right?

Before I came out, the emperor called the commander.

If you still refuse it by tomorrow morning, you won't mind it's more difficult

for Wu Dehou to leave?

Then, we can have a bet.

If I win, you should transcribe my draft.

And send it to the emperor tomorrow, ok?

What do you want to bet with?

The maid's keepsake.

It's related to you.

Absurd.

What if you lose?

Authority has thorns.

But it's not a viper.

It won't bite.

You can try.

And.

It's also true for affection.

What if you lose?

I won't lose.

Why still in the trouble?

Since then, I've been watching.

Throw the flower.

Yes.

Your Majesty..

We have prepared the budget for the hostage sacrifice ceremony.

The crown prince needs to tell me the number of the attendee.

Your Majesty.

We have the criterion for the attendee.

But whether all the princes in capital need to attend, it's the crown prince...

We will talk about this later.

Wu Dehou

Minister Gu.

Yes.

This time I call you back.

Because I want to ask you,

how many soldiers and generals we need to reward.

46, your Majesty.

What about the people who take the credit and I can reward in the future?

But it's not a good idea to say turkey to one and buzzard to another.

We should invite them all.

Your Majesty.

The number...

And Jia Yibo.

Your Majesty

He.

Lieutenant Gu Fengen can't be rewarded, I think he should be punished.

Your Majesty.

What do you want to say?

I don't think we should call him back.

We can't invite the reproach ourselves.

Your Majesty orders me to preside over the reward and punishment.

I did some investigation.

This is the draft.

You should check it.

For the ministries of revenue, justice and war,

I will have a meeting with them.

You can make the decision.

You should discuss together.

Yes, your Majesty.

I make the decisions for some issues.

But for the election of chancellor at the ceremony,

I need to tell you the fact, even if I am the temporary proxy.

He Daoran the minister of official personnel affairs

used to be the minister of rites.

He is so familiar with etiquette.

Your Majesty, can he be the chancellor?

Your Royal Highness.

You are still sleeping.

Come in.

Drag her out.

Go.

What are you doing?

Go.

Go.

Let me go.

Let her do it alone today.

Bitch.

I did such a shameless thing yourself.

You still want to get us implicated.

Wash it.

The superiors don't punish you.

But we will.

Let go of me.

You.

Go.

Sister Kouzhu.

You haven't called me like this for a long time.

Why it's you today?

We are short of hands.

Besides, I am used to it.

Just hire more people.

Which position is vacant?

In the study and bedroom.

Got it.

Your Royal Highness.

I have something to tell you.

The maid of laundry department.

What happened?

Did she confess?

Not yet.

Released hands?

No.

Your Royal Highness.

The adultery is a big crime.

People can't be frightened without punishment.

I am afraid...

If I have her flogged to death, she will release hands.

Then people will think I abuse her, right?

Yes.

I know the people in charge of it are in a dilemma.

We have no evidence for her adultery.

But.

She really hurt people and ruined the palace's reputation.

Have her flogged for forty.

Fifty.

As a warning to others, how about this?

Your Royal Highness, you have a visitor.

Stop.

Stop.

What do you want?

Go to hell.

Maid Gu.

Who are you?

Get in.

Maid Gu, are you okay?

Maid Gu.

Maid Gu.

Are you ok?

Where does the thing come from?

Take him.

You...

Make way.

Hell with you.

Go.

Don't come over.

Take him.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Go, get him.

Don't come over.

Go, get him.

Don't come over.

Maid Gu, are you okay?

Go. - Don't come over.

The crown prince told me to come here.

I will report you to my brother in law if you dare to come over.

Don't come over.

Maid Gu.

Maid Gu.

Minster Zhang.

The crown prince wants to see you.

Ok.

Mind your steps.

I can't repay you for your kindness.

This is the imperial decree, I don't dare to defy against it.

Not to mention.

I am in charge of it temporarily, you really don't need to do this.

Stand up, take a seat.

I can step into the door, it's so...

I let your son in.

Yes.

My son is muddle-headed.

I will...

I didn't want to...

But he said he wanted to take the clothes princess made for him back.

Your Royal Highness

I am guilty.

Your guilt.

You should be sentenced to death.

I know.

I live to express gratitude to you.

Even if I die now, I am too guilty to see the princess in the underground.

As I know, prince Qi asked to marry your second daughter.

Yes.

You have good ears and eyes, so I won't lie to you.

I have good ears.

Everyone knows princess Qi splashed on you.

Yes.

Why didn't you promise?

Even if I kill my own daughter, I won't let her marry the imperial family.

Your Royal Highness

This is all I can do for my kids.

I have known you for so long.

I think this is the only true word from you.

I am guilty.

Usually I forgive people for once, but no twice.

But for you, you still have one last chance.

I get it.

Not just you and your son.

And your clan.

He hasn't found his clothes?

Who is that one?

Brother-in-law?

He is the crown prince's brother in law.

Maid Gu.

Are you ok?

Zhang.

Why are you...

For what happened last time,

I can't sleep well every day.

So I am here today.

When I just approached the door,

one maid told me, you were in trouble.

She told me to call the crown prince.

But I thought it would be too late.

So I came in first.

Maid Gu.

All my stupidity.

You are so wet.

I...

Later I will go to see the crown prince.

For the sake of my father, my identity will be different.

It will be more convenient for me to enter the palace.

I'll come to see you often.

Minster Zhang.

I'm here to tell you this.

I almost forget it.

My father is the chancellor.

Maid Gu.

Maid Gu.

Are you ok?

Maid Gu.

Well, I will go to see my brother in law.

Wait here for me.

Father...

You, little brat.

You are making me suffer.

What bloody things did you do?

Go easy on me...

Be gentle, I still have something to do.

Go...

Listen to me...

You are a little pencil neck.

No.

Father. - Go.

Probably the maids from the laundry department have an ax to grind.

All because of my negligence.

You should punish me.

How's it going now?

Zhang Shaoyun left.

Nothing particular happened.

Flog suspended.

But the fellows will hold grudges if you let her go.

It's not good for her.

It's just suspended.

Send for a doctor.

If she dies in my palace, I will be held to account.

Yes.

And...

Save one vacancy in study for me.

You are going to...

Your Royal Highness

Personnel arrangement is my job.

How dare you!

Maid Chen.

If you hadn't followed me since childhood...

Sister.

Do as I say.

I'm here to tell you.

My father is the chancellor.

Why?

This one right?

Where is she?

She is inside.

Who is she?

This matter.

She will be punished.

The crown prince gives the decree, have her flogged for 50 times.

Lucky her.

There is nothing the crown prince can do.

Flogging her to death will ruin our reputation.

Yes.

But...

The crown prince is benevolent.

She is very fragile.

Maid Chen.

Flog her waist.

Yes.

Go.

You still can walk right?

You should go now.

You are...

It's not important.

They are coming.

Who?

I heard that they would beat you to death.

Yes.

The crown prince.

Not him.

He just said to have you flogged.

It's...

Maid Chen.

She kept telling people to bully you.

I get it.

Great.

Great?

Nonsense.

You also helped me to send the letter in the afternoon, right?

Sister, you should hide yourself.

Don't let them find you.

They are coming.

What will you do?

It's already...

Enough.

She ran away.

Go find her.

Yes.

Ran away?

We have searched the entire laundry department.

But in vain.

The palace door is closed now.

The moon is big today.

She won't run away.

Go find her quietly.

Yes.

After we find her?

After you find her, take her back immediately and flog her to death.

Yes.

If I can't go, come to save me.

Maid Chen.

I'm on duty for you.

Yes.

The crown prince has a lot of clothes.

Why do you sew it?

People say, women are the men's clothes.

He just needs to throw it away if it's old, dirty, or he doesn't like it.

But I don't think so.

People may lose hands or feet.

But all people need clothes.

Nothing is more closed-fit than the old clothes.

Gu Silin comes back.

Zhang Luzheng is the chancellor now.

The whole court says it's so unexpected.

They say the same for mom's canonization.

Brother.

The emperor gave you Jin copybook, right?

You.

You are an adult now.

Doing all the useless things.

No one will like you.

The emperor likes.

The emperor likes me.

Why don't you please me?

I only know how to please women.

But I can't even please my mother.

All right.

Focus on your calligraphy.

Have fun with your sister.

Be stupid yourself.

Let me tell you, I won't go this time.

Won't go?

What does it mean?

What did the emperor promise you?

He didn't.

But think this way.

If he runs the country, you, me, and mom will survive in his hands?

Why I didn't...

We are blood brothers.

We share lots of commons.

I know this.

But you have said just now...

I

You

Mother.

Why am I the one who dies first?

The ranking is unintentional.

All right.

Take it back.

Really?

Prince.

Prince.

You have a visitor, from Baoben palace.

Baoben palace?

It's so late.

Who?

It's...

It's...

Sent her.

It's her.

You are the maid of Baoben palace.

Why are you here so late?

I guess it right.

She works for you.

You are the crown prince's...
