(Capital)

(Capital) (Inspect)

(Capital) (every person in and out the city gate.)

Report anyone suspicious.

Untie them.

Come.

Where do you want to bring us?

Get up.

Come on.

Move.

I... Move now.

Brother.

Roads to all prefectures are already guarded by soldiers.

We may not be able to get out.

Then...

Why don't we cut their faces then dress up in disguise?

Doesn't cutting their faces now tell others explicitly

that there's a problem with their face?

(Righteous Radiance)

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

There's news about Princess Hua.

Hao'er.

Mother.

Where are you going?

I hear that Princess Hua and Princess Jiamin have gone missing.

Your father got angry at the court.

He let the Crown Prince investigate the matter.

Don't wade into this mess.

If they're found, that's the Crown Prince's credit.

If not, you'll get into trouble again.

Mother.

Let's not mention that Princess Hua is my betrothed wife.

Princess Jiamin is also a close friend of mine.

The competition of the Ceremonial Officer.

I wouldn't have held up for so long if without Princess Jiamin.

So I must look into this matter.

Hao'er, you mustn't force yourself in everything.

Has she really gone missing with Princess Hua?

Yes.

Princess' bangle was discovered at where Princess Hua went missing.

What did you hear at the court assembly?

Didn't you even know that your daughter had gone missing?

Aren't you the same?

She'll be fine.

- I let Minmin learn from - Let me see.

Wei Mingyue since young.

She's practised martial arts for years.

She'll be fine.

Right.

She'll be fine.

What is right?

Go to find her already.

Go.

Sure.

Don't worry.

- I'm going now. - Go.

Sure.

Charcoal fire has been deliberately cleared.

No blood stain found in the house.

No traces of combat either.

The column has marks of rope binding.

It seems that their lives aren't threatened for now.

Why are you also here?

Why can't I find a place

where you get to find?

Who do you come to find?

Princess Jiamin and Princess Hua for sure.

I'm just like you.

I'm different from you.

I'm searching for Princess Hua and Princess Jiamin.

What makes the difference?

Are you sure it's here?

Your Highness.

We discovered ruts of a carriage outside.

It's south-bound.

Why don't we split into two ways?

You go following the ruts, straight to Nan Prefecture.

I take another direction to Shanling Prefecture.

All right.

I'll bring both princesses back.

I'm going now.

Your Highness.

Are we really going to Shanling Prefecture?

Take elite Blackmail Troop

to Shanling Prefecture.

As for Prince Ying... He won't encounter the assassins

in Nan Prefecture.

He'll be safer there.

I don't want him harmed when I have yet to find both princesses.

Noted.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Mister has sent in a report.

Almost half of the moles in the capital have been exposed.

(Shanling Prefecture) Let me see.

(Shanling Prefecture) They're clothes.

Pass.

- What's this? - Come.

Turn around.

Come.

All right, pass. Next.

What do you want now?

Brother and I are only in charge of sending you off the mountain.

I won't bother what they'd do to you.

Sister.

Aren't you coming with us?

Don't call me sister.

And don't blame us.

Brother and I

will be freed after this.

Will you go back to live with your family

in Longxi after you're freed?

How do you know where I'm from?

Don't be nervous.

I'm just guessing.

You speak with some Longxi accents.

What are you trying to say?

I'm just thinking if you can really start a new life.

When I can guess that you come from Longxi,

don't the people who hire you know the same?

Will they set you free so easily?

What do you want?

I just care about you.

Moreover,

I'm unwell.

I'm worried that I'd cough blood then stain the dress.

Enough.

You won't get to escape even if I let you go.

I have no mean to escape.

I won't get to escape in my health condition.

All right.

Sister.

Take this.

This tablet can at least secure your living.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

I'm okay. It's an old disease.

You... Why do you want to help me?

I should repay you for the meat slices.

Moreover, you knew I'm Hua Liuli, right?

And you've been showing mercy.

I believe you have your own difficulty.

Tie me up.

(Hua Liuli.)

(Are you out of your mind?)

Look after yourself.

Brother and I will leave now.

Take care, sister.

Why did she give this to me?

Maybe you seemed stronger.

Come down.

Do you want me to carry you down instead?

Be quick.

Come down.

Don't touch me.

Come down already.

Do you really want him to carry you down?

Come on.

Move.

Cheers.

- Come on. - Drink.

- Drink. - Cheers.

Cheers.

Give it to me.

What?

- Have some. - Come on.

Come.

Cheers.

Bottoms up.

Fill it up.

Come on.

Call me brother.

I give you something delicious.

Look at the two of them.

They're noblewomen.

So what?

At this time, they're obedient like dogs.

Listen.

My parents are searching for us.

You won't get away.

Why do we want to get away?

Although we aren't allowed to kill you, we may do something else.

Go away!

- Come on. - Go away!

Go away!

Come on.

Go away!

Where do you think you can go?

Go away!

Your Highness.

We've thoroughly investigated the entries

of Shanling Prefecture in two days.

There's no one like Princess Hua and Princess Jiamin.

Why don't we change the direction?

If they want to leave the capital the soonest,

this should be the easiest route.

It's left by Liuli.

This is the correct route.

It's this direction.

Pursue.

Go away!

(You make me do this.)

Go away!

I always think that feebleness is a kind of weapon.

But this weapon is useful to people,

but not beasts.

Stay away.

Watch out for spilled blood.

Hua Liuli, don't kill me.

I don't like Prince Ying.

You're a perfect match for Prince Ying.

You're more than worthy of him.

You're the best beauty in the State of Jin.

Pick any palace as you like.

You bring honour to the Hua's family.

General Wei is lucky to have a daughter like you.

I'm wrong.

I dare not do wrong again to offend you.

Who are you?

He Yuanting.

It's certainly you.

How dare you appear like this in front of me?

Aren't you afraid that I'd arrest you?

You should also watch out for the life of your company.

(Why does he come to Jin?)

Is it you who hire those assassins?

Of course not.

You're the first who locates me before all others.

Do you come to save me?

Yes.

I came to save you.

After knowing that you've become the Ceremonial Officer, I bet

there'd be someone who wanted to take this chance to frame Jinpo up.

Jinpo will just do it if we want to kill you.

There's no need to spend much effort

to bring you all the way to this kind of place.

It does make sense.

I'll be able to recognise you even if you've been turned into ashes.

My people will also be able to.

Do you always remember me?

Since you're safe, I'll leave.

Will you attend the States Assembly?

No.

I'll kill the five dumb subordinates of yours then.

(I wonder what he wants to do)

(this time.)

I hear nothing.

I see nothing.

I know you feel nothing for Prince Ying so I won't act against you.

Jiamin.

I was so scared just now.

Thank you for saving me.

There're many beasts just now.

They've killed all the kidnappers.

It's really scary.

You'll always protect me, right?

(Why didn't I do something else, )

(but I messed)

(with Hua Liuli?)

(Why?)

I have back pain from the sleep.

You're up.

Come and make fire.

If I didn't set up this shelter last night,

even if you wouldn't have been bitten by beasts,

you would've been frozen to death.

Right.

I've added herbs to repel insects in your spice bag.

Thank you for the trouble.

Sister.

Don't be so polite to me.

I won't tell the secret of yesterday.

Even if I do, no one will believe it.

Secret?

Do I have a secret?

What secret?

Don't get it wrong.

I mean you're certainly a feeble beauty.

Yes.

So.

Can we leave?

Yes.

But we can't leave any traces.

I suddenly feel very tired.

I may not be able to walk.

Jiamin.

You're really nice.

Not only that you've saved my life, you care so much about me.

I can't walk anymore.

I'm too weak.

I really can't walk anymore.

The official road was just next to us, but you refused taking it.

Now you're sitting down.

Do you want to do something?

Do you still dare to take the official road?

Someone transported the two of us out of the capital

without others knowing.

It means he's covered up by someone extraordinary.

If we take the official road at this time, will the people who we meet

help or harm us?

Are you hungry?

Here you go.

Why do you have steamed buns?

Where do you get it from?

It's from the few assassins.

Did you take food from dead bodies?

The people are dead, but not the steamed buns.

Why is it inedible?

I'm not going to eat it. I'm not hungry anymore.

I go and find someone to see us back.

Wait a moment.

Mister.

I am a princess from the capital.

I've fallen into difficulties.

If you send me back, I let them give you 100 taels of silver.

I'll be a prince if you're a princess.

What a liar.

Stay away from me.

Why does a girl want to deceive others?

Me?

Am I a liar?

You're a liar instead, you know?

You... You'll regret!

How do I look like a liar?

He called me a liar.

You're so useless.

Hold it.

Wait. What are you doing?

Wait for a carriage.

I'll see how you get one.

Girl, are you okay?

Granny.

My sister and I

haven't eaten for a few days.

We're on our way of seeing our relatives in the capital.

In the middle of the road,

we met a sister

who claimed that she'd bring us into the city.

In the end, we realised we're travelling further.

We had a hard time

of escaping.

This is where we are in the end.

We don't even know where we are.

Well...

- Thank you. - Thank you, granny.

The two of you are too naive.

Hasn't it crossed your mind that me and my husband

could also be swindlers?

No, but I think you're good people.

It's for our daughter.

We'll sell more mountain goods in the city.

Here you go.

- Thank you, granny. - Thank you, granny.

Granny.

Are you going to sell your goods in the city?

Yes.

We've won the battle.

The benevolent Emperor has reduced the tax.

The life is better than before.

We want some money for household expenses then buy a new dress

for our daughter.

Don't worry.

There'll be no more war.

The day will get better.

(Shanling Prefecture)

Let me inspect.

Enter.

There're so many soldiers.

It seems like they're inspecting people.

I wonder what's going on.

Crown Prince.

It's the Crown Prince.

Crown Prince... Don't shout.

We both are in a mess.

We'll cause ill luck to him.

He has a scary temper.

Crown Prince!

Crown Prince!

Princess Hua!

- Hua Liuli. - Come on.

Be careful.

Your Highness.

It's good to see you again.

Me too.

(My goodness!)

(How many secrets have I known?)

(Will I be able to live on?)

Your Highness.

You're suffocating me.

Your Highness.

Do you come to find us?

No.

Yes.

Are you hurt?

No.

Your Highness.

Can you not rub my head?

I haven't bathed for three days.

My head is covered with dirt.

It's very dirty.

I don't think so.

Princess Hua.

Let's get in a carriage.

Right. There's Jiamin.

Princess Jiamin.

Are you okay?

Your Highness.

I'm okay.

Your Highness.

You almost couldn't see us anymore.

Those kidnappers were so fierce.

They scared the hell out of me.

And there're beasts in the mountain.

The beasts fought with those kidnappers then bit all of them to death.

Thanks to Jiamin.

She saved me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see my parents.

Not to mention seeing you.

You're welcome. It's my honour.

Your Highness.

You don't know how powerful Jiamin is.

She made a flip then stood up instantly.

Then she rapidly pulled a blade beside her then hacked a giant wolf

that came towards her.

She instantly hacked the right eye of the giant wolf.

Then she moved to one side to dodge

the attack of the second giant wolf.

She kicked it away.

Right, Jiamin?

Yes.

That's right.

That's it.

Thank you for helping her escape, Princess Jiamin.

It's nothing. It's my honour.

Back in the capital, I have some questions to ask in detail.

Sure.

(Why is it me again?)

Your Highness hasn't slept for a few days.

Do you dare reminding him?

Do you?

I don't.

I don't either.

Can you move over there?

Jiamin.

Stop chatting with me.

I'm very tired.

(Liuli.)

(I won't let you be harmed)

(anymore.)

Your Highness.

Prince Ying.

Let's take a break.

No.

I must find Princess Jiamin and Princess Hua in person.

(Oh no!)

(I forgot to tell Yuanhao)

(that I've found them.)

(Capital)

What are you looking at?

We've entered the capital.

You've slept for four hours.

My legs are numbed.

(Princess Hua.)

(We've arrived at Hua Mansion.)

(Blossoming Wealth) Miss!

(Hua Mansion) Miss!

(Hua Mansion)

Miss, come down now.

You made me worried.

I'm fine.

Wait, Your Highness.

My mansion is clearly closer.

Why do you come to the western suburb first?

Princess Hua.

Go and rest in your mansion.

I'll bother Princess Jiamin

to make a trip with me to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court?

Thank you, Princess Jiamin for saving me this time.

I'll pay a visit to thank you after getting well.

Princess Jiamin.

You're strong.

You should cooperate with His Highness's investigation.

You must know what to say.

I get it.

Go back to rest.

Come on, Miss.

My head hurts.

Why has Princess Jiamin changed after a few days?

Have they been found?

Then why hasn't the Crown Prince sent Minmin back?

His Highness sent someone to inform us.

He said the princess fought many alone.

She even protected Princess Hua in the attack of beasts.

She's brave.

However, the Emperor is angry with the kidnapping of both princesses.

His Majesty wants princess's cooperation in the investigation.

Who fought many alone?

Who is brave?

The princess.

She's certainly my daughter.

She's certainly my daughter.

I always want Minmin to be like General Wei.

Stand in front of the people in a crisis.

She's made it.

It's for real.

Yes.

Our daughter protected the daughter of General Wei.

General Wei will thank you

when she comes back.

(Supreme Court)

Princess Jiamin.

Go to see.

Was it these people who kidnapped you and Princess Hua?

I don't think it's necessary.

I still want to verify it.

I think so.

I'm surprised that when you're scared of a few dead bodies,

you actually had the courage to fight

the beasts that bit them to death.

You're so brave and adept at martial arts.

Princess Shun'an and Minister Tian must have taught you the right way.

More than a decade of nurturing

allowed you to save you and Princess Hua in the time of danger.

I'll report this to His Majesty.

We must let people in the capital make a big deal about it

and let the people know

how brave

and fearless Princess Jiamin is.

- Yes. - Yes.

Please confirm the details.

Yuan Wei.

Miss.

You're up at last.

The Crown Prince has spent half a day waiting outside.

Why didn't you wake me earlier?

Miss.

His Highness thought you're startled and weak.

You should get more sleep.

Ba told me in secret.

His Highness hasn't slept for days.

He seemed to be blaming himself over the kidnapping.

Therefore, he didn't stop investigating and searching.

Ba also told me this in secret.

At this moment, you'd be the only person

who'd persuade the Crown Prince.

Help me to dress up.

Your Highness.

The coroner said there're bite marks of beasts on the dead assassins,

but before that, they carried fatal sword wound.

Do you come to clear these doubts with Princess Hua?

Do you think Princess Hua will tell?

Why do you come then?

Your Highness.

Have you had a good rest?

Thanks to Your Highness, I've had a well rest.

Have a seat.

I've brought some tonic from the palace.

You've suffered these days.

Thank you, Your Highness.

But I'm fine now.

I'm not in shock anymore.

Thanks to Princess Jiamin along the way.

She kept me well-protected.

But you belong to me.

You manage things for me and you've taken the important position

as the Ceremonial Officer.

Now you have a safety issue.

It's surely related to me.

Princess Jiamin said the assassins aimed at you.

I'm daughter of the Hua family.

People are jealous of me.

I've also been appointed as the Ceremonial Officer.

That's even more eye-catching.

Isn't it normal when someone wants to kill me?

You're optimistic.

Have you found the murderer?

I was scared.

I couldn't think too much.

It's really scary.

Your Highness.

This matter can't be solved in one day or two.

You told me to take a good rest and take care of myself.

You've stayed up several nights for the investigation.

Think about this.

One who could silently take me and Princess Jiamin out of the capital.

The force behind it shouldn't be underestimated.

You should take time to work on a great cause.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

(Jinpo Dancer Jiang Sha) You're back.

Use your seductive trick on Jin's Crown Prince or the Emperor.

You don't have to waste your time on me.

Your Highness.

Get out.

(Elegant Hall)

Shouldn't it be useful?

Since His Highness deceived by a girl named Hua Liuli,

he's overly vigilant

about women.

You just wait here.

You mustn't mess with His Highness.

(Supreme Court)

Please, Princess.

Thank you for your cooperation.

It's really hard work.

Thank you very much.

Prince Ying.

Princess Jiamin.

You're fine, right?

I'm fine.

Why do you come?

I'm glad that you're fine.

I'm glad.

Right. What about Princess Hua?

Weren't you kidnapped together?

Where's she?

Why hasn't she come out?

How is she doing now?

I see.

You come to receive Hua Liuli.

How will she be at a place like the Supreme Court?

I've just come back from searching for you in Nan Prefecture.

I hear you've been brought to the Supreme Court.

So I also want to ask about Princess Hua... She who is feeble

has gone home long ago.

Go ahead and find whoever you like.

Receive whoever you like.

I don't want to see you anymore.

Miss, you should get in the carriage.

Did I say something wrong just now?

No.

Why was she so angry?

Well...

Maybe she's distraught by her own messiness when she saw me.

Your Highness is right.

So that's how it is.

(What a fool.)

(Supporting the Prince Ying)

(I'm the biggest fool.)

He doesn't care about me at all.

(Artificial Times)

Eat more.

So you'll have the strength to run away.

And I've heard that people who cry while eating

will definitely make it through.

But, you know,

you've gotten fat again lately.

So what if I'm fat?

Isn't it cute to be chubby?

Eat more.

Chubby is cute.
