[Episode 33]

It's my first time hearing someone sing a nursery rhyme in the cemetery.

On a dark and windy night, it's quite interesting.

It's you.

You are the one who saved me?

Just think of me as the mysterious man in black,

Masked Man.

Consider me as your friend.

Registrar Lu, it's rare for you to come to the Imperial Inspectorate.

You didn't even greet me before leaving?

Lai Luozhi did so many bad things.

That must be a disguise.

Perhaps he approached me with an ulterior motive.

Excuse me.

Make way.

Excuse me.

Jiang the Stickler!

Thank you, boss.

Come on, have a taste.

Have a taste.

What are you up to?

Why are you following me?

To... To protect you.

Protect me?

How long have you been following me?

Not... Not very long.

So, recently, around Marshal Xu, it has always been Yun Que following.

Is it because you spent all your time following me?

Not really, Yun Que…

Idiot. That's your boss.

Why are you following me?

I'm afraid you might be in danger.

Then you should have just told me.

Why act like a thief?

You wouldn't agree.

Boss, how much is it?

I have already paid.

You are still like when you were a child.

Ready to use gold ingots at any moment without considering if it's worth it.

Nonsense, I have always been very meticulous and frugal.

I don't spend money recklessly.

How do you know that I've been like this since I was little?

Your face is flushed.

Why is your face flushed? You haven't even eaten the wontons.

Follow me.

This…

Such a big ingot of gold.

When did you become so wealthy?

A man’s whole life shouldn’t be spent serving others.

He must go and do more meaningful things and protect more people.

Little Miss!

Little Miss, from now on, I am yours.

From this moment on,

I am yours.

It was you.

That lad who was so poor that he sold himself.

Chuichui, I listened to you...

and strove to help so, so many people.

When you gave me this gold ingot,

I, Jiang Langxing,

was your person.

[Elegant Mansion]

Princess Sister.

[Carrying Sunshine and Auspicious Energy]

[Elegant Mansion]

Great Chief Shen.

I've heard that you never liked to attend such banquets.

I didn't expect that today, you would come with Madam Shen.

It's truly a delightful surprise to me.

Great Chief Shen has arrived.

Why is there still no sign of Vice Minister Lai,

who is as famous as the White Ghost?

I'm late.

It's about to snow.

I wonder if my sister would be fortunate enough...

to join the Princess of Valor and the ladies to appreciate the snow together.

Sister.

I didn't expect you would actually bring your elder sister along.

It really gives me full face.

I'm late. I ask for everyone's forgiveness.

How about everyone takes a seat?

I will personally pour wine to apologize.

All right! Please be seated.

Your Highness.

I'm sorry.

She seems so nimble.

Not at all like someone who's been injured.

Could it be that you really mistook the wrong person in Gannandao?

It is said that Madam Shen's talents are peerless.

How about dancing to a piece of music and adding to the fun?

This is indeed true.

Madam Shen rarely attends feasts.

Of course, she should give face to Prince Xian.

She can't be arrogant because she is now favored

by the Grand Empress Dowager, can she?

Everyone, isn't that so?

- Right. - Right.

Prime Minister Zhang,

I still remember when you tried to unite

the Shen family and Yan family before His Majesty,

you said that the Yan family had a daughter who was skilled in poetry and dance

and her reputation as a gentlewoman was unsurpassed in Xiang'an.

Today, we have this opportunity.

Indeed we should let everyone witness it for themselves.

I have also heard at the Kaiyang banquet,

Madam Shen performed a dance to pipa music and amazed everyone present.

I wonder if you can perform

a new dance today in my mansion.

The daughter taught by Academician Yan must be well-versed in the six arts.

You may add to the enjoyment for everyone.

- Today, my wife… - Husband.

Since the hospitality is hard to decline,

I will gladly add to the fun for everyone.

Husband, may I borrow your sword?

Fortunately, Shen Du practices the sword daily.

I have secretly observed it.

Vice Minister Lai, isn't your sister a cloistered lady?

How could she possess such formidable martial skills?

Why do the stance and technique look somewhat familiar?

It seems I've seen it somewhere.

I'm sorry.

Vice Minister Lai, Sixth Miss's swordsmanship is not skilled.

She offended your sister.

Fortunately, your sister has profound martial arts skills.

She exchanged a few moves with me.

We did not disturb the elegance of the banquet.

It's all right.

Wonderful! Marvelous indeed!

Mrs. Shen and Vice Minister Lai's sister's sword dance was indeed spectacular.

It was truly a feast for my eyes.

How embarrassing.

Go and fix your appearance at once.

You were too bold just now.

But it was useful, wasn't it?

Now you can be sure about the doubts in your heart, can't you?

The one you encountered in Gannandao was indeed Lai Luofu.

Husband, this may look easy.

But the sword is very heavy when dancing with it.

I almost smashed it to the ground several times.

Madam Shen is exceptional in both talent and skill

and shares a deep affection with Great Chief Shen.

Truly enviable indeed.

The sword dance of the Great Chief and his wife

really broadened everyone's horizon.

However, the piece played by Music Minister Jin just now...

seemed like one I had never heard before.

It was a new composition by me for the winter solstice scene.

"Sorrow and Joy."

Music Minister Jin is the musician most beloved by Mother Empress.

It's extremely difficult to hear his performances on regular days.

I did not expect that in today's banquet hosted by Prince Xian,

we could not only invite Music Minister Jin to perform for us

but also have him compose a new piece for us.

It is truly enviable.

I did not expect that during this banquet,

I would hear a new piece by Music Minister Jin.

It is indeed a pleasant surprise.

The sky is cold, about to snow.

It's such an elegant banquet.

Ladies and gentlemen, let us raise our glasses together

to thank Prince Xian for his invitation.

[Elegant Mansion]

[Lai Mansion]

Save me.

It hurts so much! It hurts so much!

Save me, please.

You were injured by Shen Du in Gannandao.

I went to great expense to find a miraculous medicine from the Western Region...

only to temporarily control your wound

making you seem all right today

to attend the banquet to prove your innocence.

Yet you recklessly fought fiercely, exposing your skills.

You're still unaware of your mistake.

I want to kill Shen Du.

Now you are injured on top of injuries

and you have aroused suspicion among everyone.

You can't show yourself publicly anymore for the time being.

No! No!

No. Give me some time.

Give me a little time.

I'll recover soon, I'll be as good as new very quickly.

Recover?

To let others suspect that you were impersonating Chen Huo'e again?

Trust me.

I am still useful.

I am still of use.

I still need to play your sister well. Right?

Give me some time. Trust me. I will be fine.

I will be obedient.

Save me, please. I am still of some use.

Quick, save me.

It hurts.

Quick, save me, please.

This year's Winter Solstice didn't bring snow.

Are you planning to turn yourself into a snowman?

I plan to make dumplings for you to eat.

Make dumplings, see.

Madam,

the palace eunuch is here again.

The Grand Empress Dowager has summoned you.

The number of times you enter the palace now is more than mine.

All right, I will go and change my clothes right away.

I'll take care of it when I return.

I am off.

I pay my respects, Your Majesty.

Dispense with formalities.

Come closer, Minister Yan.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Winter solstice has arrived.

I allowed them to take a holiday.

I've taken you alone to accompany me.

You won't blame me. Right?

Your Majesty must be jesting.

Come, please sit down.

I'd heard yesterday, Minister Lai

joked with you. Right?

Yes.

Both of them are my right-hand men.

You should persuade Minister Shen

to not create conflict with Lai Luozhi.

It's best for matters to be settled here.

I thank Your Majesty for your concern.

Although I don't know the details,

my husband wholeheartedly serves Your Majesty.

Naturally, there won't be any bias or selfishness.

It's about time for the snow to fall.

The end of the year is nearing.

I have aged another year.

Long live Your Majesty.

Enough of this.

Quick, sit down. Sit down.

Today, there are no outsiders in the palace.

No need to be so formal.

I am just a mortal with a fleshly body.

How can I live too long?

They respect me

and fear me even more...

because in this vast palace,

not a single person can stand shoulder to shoulder with me.

I can see that Minister Baohuan and Madam Xu

both hold Your Majesty in the highest respect.

That is due to the affection I have shown.

Your Majesty, there are Princess Yong'an and Prince Xian.

They are both Your Majesty's children.

They only care...

about the position of the future Prince Regent by Qi's side.

They hope that I age sooner

so that they can hold great power.

How could they remember their duty as children?

All right.

Let's not talk about them.

I have called you here today.

It is said that Minister Shen has been every protective of you.

I suddenly remembered my days with the late emperor.

The late emperor also protected me in the same way.

He had always been a person who didn't cause trouble for others.

But he would stand against the court's ministers for me.

I am truly old.

I'm old.

Lately,

I have loved to reminisce.

Yan Xing,

Minister Shen's love for you is pure and sincere.

It makes the marriage I arranged back then

somewhat inconsiderate now.

Your Majesty is speaking too seriously.

In Shen Du's heart, he holds you in high regard.

It is precisely for this reason that I must urge you even more

not to let dark clouds cloud your vision.

No matter when or where,

you must cherish the one in your heart.

I will carefully remember.

[Shen Mansion]

A'Si.

My Lord insists you return to Yan Mansion.

My father? Now?

Right, get in the carriage.

[Shen Mansion]

Sixth Miss, come here.

Prime Minister Zhang has a few questions for you.

You talk first.

Prime Minister Zhang,

we just met yesterday at Prince Xian's banquet.

I wonder why you've come to the Yan Mansion specifically to see me.

I heard that these past few days, you had repeatedly entered the palace for an audience...

and received the deep favor of Her Majesty.

You place too much importance on it.

The Grand Empress Dowager only wanted to speak with me.

To chat about some household matters.

To be able to converse with the Grand Empress Dowager about household matters,

this is a fortune that many people cannot achieve in several lifetimes.

You've been by Shen Du's side and have been through life and death several times.

Now you're favored by the Grand Empress Dowager.

It is truly fortunate.

Now, you are in the spring breeze of success.

Do you still remember why you were married to Shen Du?

Today is the Winter Solstice. I will not tangle with you too much.

Just tell me what the Grand Empress Dowager said to you

and during this period of time, what happened in the Shen Mansion.

I don't know.

Are you trying to rebel?

You've been using my father and the Yan Mansion to manipulate me for a long time.

Indeed, for my third sister, I married into the Shen Mansion.

But I am wholeheartedly involved in reviewing cases at the Ministry of Justice

and sharing the worries of the Grand Empress Dowager.

I'm unaware of anything else.

I should not know anything else, either.

I hope you will show mercy.

Sixth Miss, you have obtained the favor of the Grand Empress Dowager and Shen Du.

Now that you have them to rely on,

you think I can do nothing to you

and the Yan Mansion now?

Imperial favor changes in the blink of an eye.

Shen Du is hard-pressed to secure his own safety.

Do you believe that he can protect you

and your Yan family?

I don't wish to rely on anyone.

I only want to rely on myself.

All right!

Your wings have grown strong, huh?

This time, my husband and I went together to Gannandao.

Along the way, we pursued the Half-faced Demon and the Huo'e Sect.

We gained a lot of knowledge about the borderlands.

Following the leads,

we also learned a lot of unimaginable stories.

Are you interested in them?

What do you want to say?

Sxith Miss Yan, don't go making baseless accusations.

If you don't want to listen, I will not talk about them.

Today, I reviewed the Ministry of Justice's archives.

I do have a question in mind.

Regarding the old case of the Shen Mansion,

why didn't you submit a single memorandum

or show any stance on such a major case?

For public cause, you were then the pillar of the court.

For personal reasons,

weren't you once classmates with Lord Shen Bingzhu?

What are you trying to say?

What exactly do you know?

I do not know much.

Nor do I know what I should know.

You have no evidence.

Yet you seek to threaten me?

If you have any questions, just come to the Shen Mansion and ask me.

Going in such a big circle to trouble my wife at the Yan Mansion.

Isn't it inappropriate?

I thought you were the clear stream of the court,

disdaining the vile acts of the officialdom.

How come you are now starting to threaten a mere woman?

I'll take my leave.

My Sixth Daughter!

Mother.

Third Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Brother, why have you all come out?

Come.

Your father is spineless.

He only knows how to harm his daughter.

You came back for the Winter Solstice. Now you are without even having a meal.

I know you must feel you are being wronged in your heart.

Yes.

Mother and Auntie made steamed rice cakes and dumplings

for you and my brother-in-law.

While waiting for you, it was reheated several times already.

Hearing you would leave directly,

Auntie was so anxious she was about to cry.

Mother, I'm sorry.

What are you apologizing for?

It's all your father's fault.

Haven't you loved eating this since you were little?

Eat it up, Sixth Sister. It's still hot.

Thank you, Fourth Sister! Thank you, Fifth Brother!

Sixth Sister, have you been well these days at the Shen Mansion?

I'm fine.

That's good.

That day, I heard our father and Mojie talk to my husband Han.

I heard that the Grand Empress Dowager favored Lai Luozhi

and suppressed the Great Chief.

But it seems for the sake of checks and balances,

she calls you to accompany her in the palace every day.

It's not that serious.

My Daughter, I still say the same thing.

If you and the White Ghost can live in harmony as husband and wife,

that's good.

But if every day you're putting your neck

on the knife's edge, living in fear and trepidation,

it's better to return home.

After all, the Yan Mansion has a place for you.

Yes, Auntie Jin was quite straightforward,

but it's all for your own good.

No matter what, your happiness is the most important.

Do not make too many sacrifices for the Yan family.

Thank you to Mother, my brother, and sisters for your concern.

I am doing very well now.

Really very well.

Then we are relieved.

Right, today is the Winter Solstice, a day of rest.

We're rarely without matters to attend to. Why not take a stroll down the street together?

He won't eat people anyway.

Let's go then.

Your family members all care for you deeply.

The Yan family estate is peaceful.

Although there are occasional disputes,

they mainly stem from goodwill.

I don't know whether this is my father's blessing

or our siblings' fortune.

It's my good fortune.

My parents passed away early.

What I envy most

is a whole and complete family.

Actually, ever since my first visit to the Yan Mansion, I've been wondering...

why you are so determined to clear the grievances of the people.

Turns out it's because you've been happy and well since childhood.

There is pure justice in your heart, without a trace of impurity.

In the future, they

will all be your family.

My Wife.

Be careful.

The greatly-feared Great Chief,

in front of his beloved wife, is so tender-hearted.

Why have you come along with an inspector?

Sxith Miss Yan, you don't know that Lu Chuichui

is going to be the wife of an inspector?

No way.

You and Jiang Langxing,

you two are dating?

Just go ahead and laugh at me.

Why would I laugh at you?

I'm happy for you.

You've finally seen the light.

How did you find out that Jiang Langxing had you in his heart?

How did I…?

Naturally, it's because you are beautiful, kind-hearted,

and exceptionally intelligent.

You're shy.

I was going to ask you when you plan to have your wedding banquet.

I want to get married on the same day as you.

You're also getting married?

Who are you marrying?

Yan Xing, have you been investigating too many cases and gotten your brain muddled from them?

Can't you see?

Of course, I'm marrying Marshal Xu.

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Shen Du, I don't like you anymore.

So you have to be nice to Sixth Miss in the future.

If you scare away Sixth Miss, I'm afraid no other woman will like you.

Then you won't be able to get a wife.

So what?

In this life, I am content with having Yan Xing alone.
