=Episode 15= (Hedgehog is Quite Cute)

I apologize.

You...

Raise your head.

Do I

look like your friend?

How can anyone resemble Your Majesty?

I apologize.

(It seems Xu Zhimo only)

(made the emperor look like him)

(and didn't come to this world.)

It turns out

you are the constables from Daoming Court.

Considering your merits in solving cases,

I will forget about

your transgression.

Get up.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Hedgehog.

Are you alright?

Come on.

Get up first.

You're not mad at me

for what I did today, right?

Hedgehog.

I think you're very different

from the character in the comic.

Comic?

Yeah.

Like a novel or something?

Similar, I suppose.

The comic says you're a top martial artist

and that's pretty much it.

That is

quite accurate.

Apart from that,

any other differences?

Well,

when I first met you,

you were always fixated on trifles

and acting impulsively.

You had low EQ

and were quite scheming.

You looked cold and not approachable.

However, despite your many flaws,

you have a strong sense

of responsibility.

You're compassionate,

kind-hearted,

and protective of others.

Witch.

Yeah.

Do...

Do you like Zhishui?

Where does that come from?

It's nothing.

Just asking.

He is

my crush.

He has a lot of fans back where I'm from.

Fans?

Yeah.

I prefer food.

Then...

Then what do you

think about me?

What about you?

Well...

You know...

Y-You are a nice guy,

although you're not so popular.

So can you...

Can you perhaps

don't fall for Zhishui?

Right, Witch.

Do you know why I faint at the sight of blood?

I have no idea.

The comic didn't mention the specific reason.

It was raining heavily on the night

when my whole clan was killed.

It looked

like a terrifying red ocean.

It's useless to master martial arts.

I still couldn't

avenge my people after years of training.

That powerless feeling.

I get it.

Only those who have experienced it would understand.

Before Chen Shenmao died,

she trusted me so much

and she wanted to live.

And I promised

to protect her.

But in the end...

I know.

I understand your pain.

You were young

back then.

You must have been tormented.

It's okay.

This is not your fault.

It's those villains' fault.

You've been working hard

to solve cases and save lives

for so many years.

I believe

your family in heaven

are proud of you.

But

sometimes,

I still dream of my parents.

♪The mountain casts a shadow♪

We call this

a "paper crane" where I'm from.

It can carry your love to the people you miss.

♪The night colors hidden in the reflection♪

Tell it what you want to say.

They will receive the message.

♪The past life is long gone♪

♪You whisper that you've been drifting for too long♪

♪I've seen the prosperous world♪

♪I've also watched everything wither♪

♪You whisper that you've been silent for too long♪

Thank you.

Witch.

Don't just say thank you.

Offer something practical in return.

What are you doing?

I haven't tasted your wine yet.

I found it in the Sutra Pavilion today.

Come on.

Let's drink.

Sure.

Come on.

Cheers.

Isn't this too spicy?

Is it?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Witch.

Slow down. Don't fall.

Don't touch me.

I can walk on my own.

You are drunk.

Y-You should go to bed.

Witch.

No.

Tell you what.

I can drink 15 more cans.

♪You whisper that you've been drifting for too long♪

Zhao Wumian.

How can you kiss me?

Why did you kiss me?

Scoundrel.

Scoundrel.

Scoundrel.

We should take a look.

Okay.

Seeds of the mandrake flowers.

They never planted

mandrake flowers at the Ruyi Pavilion.

The flowers are purchased

from all over the world.
