[A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College]

[Episode 02]

You finally asked for me, Vice Principal.

Vice Principal, are you trying to assault me in broad daylight?

Sang Qi, there's no one else here at the moment.

I want to talk with you.

I want to ask you, what can I do so you stop causing trouble and bothering me?

Actually, I've made it very obvious already.

As long as you accept my pouch, I'll be a well-behaved student,

and never give any trouble to you, Vice Principal.

Are you serious?

Yes! I, Sang Qi, always keep my promises.

All right. Then I'll make an exception this time.

If you give me the pouch right now, I will accept it.

- You're not joking, are you? - Of course.

I'm the Vice Principal of the Imperial College, why would I be joking?

But I'll only give you this one chance. Give it to me.

All right.

The pouch... I...

Where's my pouch?!

Vice Principal, I always have it with me. However, just now I...

I...

I knew it.

The gifting of the pouch is fake, but causing trouble is what you're really trying to do.

- I... Just now... - That's enough. Stop talking.

I've given you the chance, but you didn't grasp the opportunity.

But I really—!

However, even though you're not being kind, I can't be unrighteous.

About the rumors you spread before this, I'll let it pass.

I hope in the future at the Imperial College, you'll know your place and devote yourself to learning.

Don't bring shame to your Sang family's reputation.

No, wait.

Something's wrong.

Vice Principal, didn't you set your heart on kicking me out of the Imperial College?

Now that I a mistake like this, you still don't want to punish me?

May I ask what teacher in this world will deliberately make things difficult for their students?

I know.

I was a little harsh on you before, but it was all for your good.

I hope you can learn some more things. I hope you can go through some hardships.

Sang Qi, please don't ever let me down.

Could it be... that I misunderstood him in the past?

All right.

I know you understand. Hurry and go study.

I need to mark test papers too.

Go on. Go.

No!

Vice Principal, why are you so generous today? This is not your style at all.

Besides, when I left, I made sure the pouch was on my waist.

There's only one thing that could explain this, my pouch was stolen by you!

Sang Qi. Why would I have—?

- Where did you put it? - Sang Qi!

- Where is it? - Sang Qi! I'm going to punish you!

Punish? Punish then!

You're lucky you run fast.

Bai Shi!

What orders do you have, Young Master?

Put this pouch back into Sang Qi's drawer without anyone knowing.

Yes, Young Master!

Young Master, which seat is Miss Sang's?

The second table in the second row from the east.

Up North, down South, left West, right East.

The second table in the second row on the right-hand side after you walk in the door.

- Yes, Young Master. - Hold on!

Just walk through the door.

Yes, Young Master.

Left... left... right.

Was it left hand side or right hand side?

Right hand! Boys on the left, girls on the right.

Was it the first row or the first column? Aiya! Young Master!

I don't care. This is it. I'll put it here.

That's right. I'm sure it's this one.

Try this one.

I'll let you guys see something later.

What is it?

Move inside.

- I'll let you see my new storytelling script. - Storytelling script?

It could be said it's a fantastic book!

Yan Sanlong, why is there a pouch in your desk?

Could it be that some student is interested in you? [Sang]

But there's only one female student in the Imperial College.

Is it her?

I, Yan Xiaolang, have no intention of marrying.

But the Grand Commandant's daughter is too proactive,

which makes it difficult for me to deal with.

Difficult to deal with.

Sang Qi. Sang Qi.

Just wait a bit.

I still need...

This is really...

What are you looking at?

The teacher is here. The teacher is here.

Teacher's here.

Are you crazy?

Stand up!

Good day, Scholar Feng.

All right. Everybody, please sit down.

Things have their roots and branches, affairs have an end and a beginning.

- Do you want to get beaten up? - When you know what comes first and what comes last,

then you are closer to the truth of the world.

- Let's go! - Wait for me!

Hurry up!

Coming!

Let's go.

What you mean is everything in the world will eventually come to an end,

and every affair has a beginning and an ending.

- Then the way of truth is... - A'Qi,

- school has ended. Can't you rest for a while?

You should learn to relax while studying.

- I know. - Sang Qi!

That's why...

Yan Yan asked me to give this to you.

What is this?

Could it be a love letter from Yan Xiaolang?

Cut it out!

[Yan Yan]

What is all this crooked writing saying?

His general meaning is to tell you not to leave after school, and to meet him at the school field.

He also said for you to go alone.

I understand now.

This is a letter of challenge.

No wonder he kept staring at me today. He even broke the pen in half to threaten me.

Then why do you think he would target you?

Maybe... Maybe he's reluctant to see girls enrolling in school.

All right.

- Then I'll come with you to meet him! - There's no need.

I don't think that Yan Yan would dare hurt me.

What I'm worried about is Yan Yan's safety.

Don't worry. After all, we're classmates. I will be merciful.

Here, I'm heading off now. I'll come back soon.

Hey, no...

♫ May we live up to the fleeting years, every day and every night together ♫

♫ It turns out we met before in between a moment and a thought ♫

♫ He sends her a thousand words in writing, and she left a set of stories ♫

Sang Qi... Sang Qi...

Seems like you can't wait to meet me.

[To Sang Qi]

Come on then.

- What? - Still pretending?

No, wait.

Aren't we progressing too fast? [Promote education and lessen military training]

Besides, this is Imperial College's school field.

That's right. Didn't you choose this place?

Spacious enough, and just perfect, it won't confine me.

Hurry up. I still have a lot of things to do.

No, no, wait. Although you admire me,

shouldn't we have a ceremony first, and then I give you some betrothal presents?

Why didn't you avoid it?

You... Do you want to murder your husband?!

I...

Just now you said something about ceremony and marriage. What nonsense were you talking about?

Didn't you give me this pouch to confess your love to me?

Why is my pouch with you?!

Someone secretly put it in my drawer. If it's not you, then what? A ghost did it?

Who is that bastard?

What are you doing?

What bastard?

I don't allow you to humiliate yourself like that.

Although I don't want to get married at this moment,

seeing that you love me that much,

and your father is one of the greatest heroes,

I'll agree to this marriage.

Yan Yan, this is a misunderstanding.

I have an emergency. I'm leaving now.

- What are you doing? - What do you mean?

- Let go! - Are you trying to pull a trick on me?

Is the pouch meant to be given away whenever you feel like it?

- You're humiliating me in public. - I already said it! I didn't give you this pouch!

Moreover, I won't tell anyone about this.

If anyone finds out, I'll help you to murder them then.

Yan Xiaolang.

You deserve it!

Sang Qi!

Where do you think you're going?

Sang Qi! Just you wait!

I-I...

Don't fool around.

Get up!

Hurry up. Get up.

Vice Principal!

You set me up.

You stole my pouch and give it to Yan Yan.

Careful, Young Master! There's an assassin!

Stand right there!

Where are you going?

Is he...

a bit... crazy?

Just say it.

Let's see how you'll explain and what excuse you'll use to evade me.

Start.

Why should I explain?

I did say that I would accept the pouch, but I didn't say that I wouldn't pull any tricks.

Since ancient times, there can never be too much deception in war.

I advise you to read more and gain more knowledge.

Next time if you encounter people and face something like this again, you can also protect yourself.

What you mean is... I should thank you?

That's right.

Teaching and educating people is my duty.

You're welcome.

Teaching and educating people.

Yan Yunzhi, sooner or later, I'll let you know

what is meant by there is always someone who is better than you.

[Song Luotian, Imperial College] [Tang Shaoqi, Imperial College]

Yan Xiaolang deserves it.

Did you see his face just now? He was so embarrassed he wanted to sink into a hole.

This Sang Qi,

first, she spread rumors about the Vice Principal hanging himself,

and now she has provoked Yan Yan.

Is she going to offend every influential person in the Imperial College?

Seems like she won't be able to stay long at the Imperial College.

Why don't we accelerate it,

so that this girl will leave immediately?

[Imperial College]

[A Place for the Talented]

Young Master! Something's bad happened!

I saw Yan Yan aggressively bringing a lot of men into the Imperial College.

I'm sure he's going to go trouble Miss Sang.

I think you should take care of this.

What do her troubles have to do with me?

But... Still...

You...

If you want to make amends, go to do it by yourself.

Understood!

At night, you can stay in Sang family house, and protect Miss Sang's safety.

Young Master, I was wrong.

That Yan Yan was embarrassed in public, he won't let it go that easily.

Yan Yunzhi is to blame. I'll make him pay.

Sang Qi!

Sang Qi!

Over there!

How were the preparations over there?

Don't worry, it's already been set up.

Yan Yan has come to get his revenge. What should we do?

His Majesty asks me to be well-behaved at the Imperial College.

I can't take any action in public.

After Yan Xiaolang finishes his revenge, we'll make our move.

- Don't be afraid. I'm right here. - There are so many people, can you beat them all?

I can handle ten people at once, do you believe it?

No, not really.

Then why aren't you running away if you don't believe me?!

Go, go!

Are you running away?

Don't run! Stand there!

Catch her!

That's not good. Sang Qi's running away!

You guys, go and stop Sang Qi. Help Yan Xiaolang.

Hurry up!

After them!

Get them!

Stand there!

Brother Song! Yan Yan is tricked. He was tricked. Go and beat him!

- No! What? - So both of you were in it together?

- Yes, in it together! - What?

- No! - Song Luotian, I'll pay back all the old and recent grudges together!

I... That's not it!

It's a misunderstanding! Let me explain!

- Grab them! - Careful! Pull them up!

- Be careful! - Grab them!

Pull them!

Hold on!

- Pull them up! - Pull them!

Help!

- Save him, hurry! - Get them up!

Song Luotian!

Why are you all fooling around?!

Go back!

Vice Principal, I'm so scared!

Vice Principal!

Come on, slowly.

Slowly, Vice Principal.

Careful.

Careful, slowly.

- Sang Qi! - Vice Principal!

Don't say anything. I understand what you're trying to say.

Let's talk next time.

Hurry and go back to change your clothes, don't catch a cold.

If you catch a cold, what would we do? What would the Imperial College do?

We'd all be upset, Vice Principal!

Great. You...

Health is more important. Health is more important.

- The few of you! - Oh my.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble again, I'll punish them all!

Yes!

Sang Qi!

I've always distinguished between kindness and hatred. Today's thing, isn't over yet!

- All right! Go! - Brothers! Retreat! Let's go!

- Let's go. - Not ever yet!

A'Qi, go back to the classroom and wait for me. I'll fetch a brazier.

All right! No problem.

Miss Sang Qi, I'm Wei Zhanhong from Black Class.

Nice to meet you.

I see you're soaked all over.

Why don't I take you to the wing room to rest a little?

Coincidentally, there are unused uniforms inside,

you can just pick one first for emergency use.

All right! Great.

I'll be going. Thank you, Brother Song.

Follow me.

Hurry.

Hurry up, let's go.

Take a look, the question you asked me last time,

- the teacher told us before. - Do as I said.

- It makes sense. It's like this. - Yes, it's here.

It's written above here.

Take a look by yourself. Here too.

- All of this has to be noted down right? - Yes.

Classmates, have you seen Sang Qi?

She seemed to have gone to the wing room with Wei Zhanhong from Class Black.

- Wei Zhanhong? - Yes.

Please hold this for me, thank you!

Over here.

It's here. I'm a man. So it's inconvenient to stay here.

Miss Sang Qi,

please help yourself.

Thank you. But Brother Wei, I'm a little afraid of the dark.

Why don't you go in with me?

- Where is she? - What's wrong? Are you fine?

Let us go!

- Stop! - Let us go!

Is this how you treat your classmate? That's so kind of you!

Let me tell you,

I, Sang Qi, never want to cause any trouble, but I will never let you bully me.

From today onwards, please behave yourself.

Don't even think of messing with me.

Got it?

Goodbye, my fellow classmates.

I...

You are a useless piece of trash!

Young Master, here.

Drink some ginger soup to warm up your body.

Young Master, are you feeling better now?

I'm fine.

How's Sang Qi?

She's fine.

However, this ginger soup is sent by her.

But she said your body is weak,

and this bowl of soup is for you to get rid of the cold.

I don't want to drink it anymore. This Sang Qi dares to provoke me.

Vice Principal! Vice Principal!

Vice Principal!

Vice Principal, what are you...?

It's nothing. Scholar Feng, did you need something? Have a seat.

Vice Principal,

Sang Qi bullied a group of Black Class' students.

Song Luotian came all the way to me to complain about her.

Male students of Black Class were bullied by Sang Qi again?

Yes.

This doesn't make any sense.

Then I'll go and ask Sang Qi right now and find out the truth.

Scholar Feng, I don't think that's necessary.

Just let the students solve their problems between themselves.

As long as there's no major incident, there's no need to intervene.

But...

Scholar Feng.

I'll take note of this matter, so go ahead and get back to your work.

All right. Then I'll follow your advice.

Young Master, you're so broad-minded.

It was Sang Qi who pulled you into the water,

but now you're defending her.

And you even spoke up for her. Looks like you've forgiven her.

Who says I've forgiven her?

I want to avenge myself personally.

[Imperial College]

[Brush and Ink Pavilion]

[Brush and Ink Pavilion]

Why are you sighing?

The Vice Principal already knows that Yan Yan is seeking revenge against me.

He wouldn't dare cause any more trouble.

If he wants to play some tricks, that's fine too.

I can play with him.

I'm not worried about Yan Yan.

I'm afraid that the Vice Principal will do something about this.

What you mean is,

you're worried that the Vice Principal will wait for an opportunity to prank me?

The Vice Principal is someone who'll seek revenge.

Rumor has it that the Principal was forced to travel around the world after offending him.

Yesterday you pulled him into the water,

today, I'm afraid that he might kill you.

But I sent him a bowl of ginger soup already.

He's the Vice Principal, he wouldn't be that petty, right?

Then we'll wait and see.

- The Vice Principal is here. Hurry up! - Vice Principal is here.

In today's law class,

we won't be learning laws and regulations. I'll teach you some skills around judgement instead.

In a moment, I will recreate a few

unsettled cases that the Prefecture Court has handled in recent years.

You all will act as the constables and the coroner.

Work together and try to solve the case.

Constable?

This is going to be quite interesting.

Later, I will show you my skills

and let you see how I'll capture the real murderer.

Although it's just a simulation case, we still need to make it seem real.

Later, we will draw lots to decide who among all of you will act as the deceased.

The deceased?

We even need to act as the deceased.

Sang Qi.

You're the first female student to have entered the Imperial College.

We should take care of you more.

You should pick first.

I knew the Vice Principal wouldn't be that petty.

Thank you, Vice Principal.

Are you done?

I've done choosing.

[The deceased]

What is it?

[The deceased]

The deceased!

Keep quiet.

Stand back in your places.

As expected, you got the role.

It's okay, just this one time.

This case happened last month.

In a farmhouse in the mountains,

the deceased lay prostrate on the ground like this and was stabbed from the back.

But the doors and windows in the room were locked from the inside.

How did the murderer escape?

Vice Principal, I think the deceased is still breathing,

and should be sent to the doctor as soon as possible.

I'll go and prepare my horse immediately.

Don't play around during class.

Is there anyone who would like to share their thoughts?

There's only one truth.

I have a conclusion.

The deceased committed suicide.

Yan Yan, why do you say it's a suicide case?

Listen carefully. Listen up.

The doors and windows are locked from the inside.

The murderer could never have escaped.

Therefore, there was no murderer.

The deceased killed himself.

Then how do you explain the knife in his back?

Isn't it simple?

He froze the handle of the knife in ice with the blade facing upwards.

Then with his back facing the blade, he jumped onto it.

You really are smart, Yan Yan.

It wasn't even autumn yet last month, where did the ice come from?

Do you think they all have an icehouse like yours in your residence?

Last month?

T-then what do you think? How did the murderer escape?

- You want me to say? - Yes.

I think it should be...

Come and find me in the underworld!

You shook with fright!

Sang Qi, you're toying with me again.

Deceased, please play your role well. Don't make sudden movements.

- Get down. - That's right.

The face of the deceased is too hideous.

Is there anyone who has a handkerchief? Please cover her face.

I got it.

The murderer can walk through the walls.

Yan Yan, stop reading so many legend novels. You've gone off the deep end.

Could it be the deceased wasn't attacked here,

but was seriously injured and hid in the room for safety, and eventually, died because of his injuries?

Indeed it is.

It's that simple?

It is that simple.

That's it?

The reason I brought you here to investigate the case is

that I hope that when you're judging a case, you won't be blinded by what you see.

In the future, if you become imperial officials and serve the imperial court,

don't be obstinate or too self-opinionated.

You must be cautious and remember that life is of greater value than anything else.

There's still some time left. Let's probe into other cases.

Vice Principal, can we draw slots again?

Of course.

Great!

- Let's go! - Go!

[Yellow Class]

[The deceased]

Everyone has seen that there's a dead female here of an unknown age.

Let's continue to probe the case.

Obviously, if you see a dead person, then first you have to find out the cause of her death.

We don't have to find it here, the knife is the cause of death.

Number two, you have to determine the time of death.

How do we normally determine it?

Livor mortis usually appears on the body of the dead.

First, it's the hand, the wrist, the neck, then look at her pupils.

[The deceased]

You're the deceased again.

Everybody.

First, we see a corpse with an arrow in the back. What do you think of? There's no need to guess.

The shooter should be over there. Am I right?

Next, if we want to find this person, we need to take a look at this.

The deceased, please play your role well.

It hurts so much.

Brother, this is the Imperial College you wanted me to study at?

Sister Sang Qi! Sister Sang Qi! [Two Years Ago]

Brother!

Brother!

Why are you leaving after only staying with me for two days? Didn't you say that you'd play with me?

Moreover, isn't it just school reopening? What's there to miss? Don't you want your sister anymore?

A'Qi, the Imperial College is not an ordinary place.

It changes someone into a reasonable and worthy person to become a pillar of the country.

Besides, I can make many interesting friends there.

What kind interesting friend makes you not want your sister?

His name is... His name is Xiao Bai (White).

He's my classmate.

He's not only the best in our year, but also considerate and reasonable.

When I go back to Bianjing, take me to meet Xiao Bai.

All right.

Xiao Bai will likely always stay at the Imperial College.

A'Qi.

I hope someday, you can study at the Imperial College too.

Take the imperial examination and be nominated on the list.

Let the world see that not only men can attend college, but women can do it too.

All right, it's a promise.

Being human is so tiring.

Let me tell you, Bianjing is not as fun as the frontier.

I don't even know how my brother managed to go through this.

And where is his best friend, Xiao Bai?

Brother told me before that I just need to find Xiao Bai and I'll be fine.

He'll protect me just like my brother did.

If I found Xiao Bai, I'm sure he'd smash Yan Yunzhi like a hammer and teach him a good lesson!

But I don't even know where he is.

Did you meet Xiao Bai before?

Sang Qi.

What are you doing here?

Go!

Vice Principal, you've been in the Imperial College for so long, do you happen to know my brother, Sang Yu, and Xiao Bai?

If Sang Qi knows I'm that friend, Xiao Bai, who her brother mentioned,

how can I discipline her well in the future?

Next is the horseback archery class.

You are not at the school field, are you thinking of skipping class?

I'll go immediately.

[Promote education and lessen military training]

Aren't you good at this? Why don't you go and show off to them?

Haven't I caused enough trouble recently? I should keep a lower profile.

[Train to serve the country]

Today, we will learn horseback archery skills.

Is there someone who would like to try?

Isn't this the daughter of the Sang family? Turns out she's afraid of horseback archery.

Then why come to college like men? Am I right?

- Yes. - That's right!

- You're right. Yes. - What's wrong?

You came late intentionally and still look terrified. Did I say something wrong?

Yan Xiaolang, what are you talking about?

The daughter of the Sang family is rude and unreasonable, like the men in the barracks.

How could she be afraid of archery on horseback?

- That's right. - Right!

Why aren't you helping me say something?

I think they make sense.

Where does it make sense?

Scholar Huo, please let me try.

Let some people see

what a brave and valiant man looks like.

- Yan Yan! - Yan Yan!

Help me!

Help me!

Help me!

Be careful! Stand aside!

- You shocked us just now. - It's good that you're all right.

Vice Principal, thank you for saving me.

You're my student. If anything bad were to happen to you in the Imperial College, I'd be in trouble too.

A'Qi, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Doing good things, but not trying to get credit for it. Young Master, you're amazing.

Of course, I know.
