NISHANG COURTYARD

Hold the needle steady and firm.

It's all in the wrist strength.

If you want to hold
an embroidery needle well,

you must first be able
to lift a heavy stone.

Those who want a future, don't be lazy.

Strength comes from the arm,
not the wrist.

What's going on?

This…

It doesn't seem new?

Yes.

I burned myself a few days ago
by accident.

Fine.

Go and rest for now.

Learning skills takes time.

Don't let this scar
affect your attribution.

Yes.

Take her to rest.

- Yes.
- Yes.

She took her own life
in fear of punishment

for damaging
the late Empress's embroidery.

Remember, the job must be done well.

No loose ends.

Go inside.

Your Highness?

Stay quiet.

How dare you!

- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

This embroidery was the final masterpiece
of Empress Dejia.

A flaw on such a piece

is a grave disrespect to the late Empress.

I will surely see the culprit
severely punished.

Attendant Shang,
how do you plan to punish her?

This woman holds a grudge
against Your Highness,

and that's why she damaged
the late Empress's work.

She deserves nothing less than execution.

Really?

But I saw with my own eyes

a stray cat leaping at the embroidery.

The beauty tried to stop the cat,
and in doing so,

accidentally damaged the piece.

Luckily, I was there.

The beauty

wouldn't have to bear this guilt.

Your Highness, you are wise.

I would never dare disrespect.

Cat? A stray cat?

Yes.

A stray cat.

They were there too.

They can bear witness.

If it wasn't a cat,
then you mean I'm wrong.

Or could it be

that you deliberately damaged
the embroidery?

- It was a cat.
- It was a cat.

- Your Highness. You judged correctly.
- Your Highness. You judged correctly.

These two servants were tasked
with guarding the piece,

but they were neglectful.

Thirty lashes for them.

- Thank you, Your Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness.

Since it was an accident
on the beauty's part,

she will be confined to my mansion.

I will personally supervise her
as she repairs the embroidery.

Once it's fixed,
her offense will be forgiven.

Your Highness.

It is essential
that the screen be repaired.

However, it is too valuable
to be moved again.

It's better to confine her here,
at the Court of State Ceremonial,

and have her repair it on-site.

I am responsible
for overseeing the studies here.

The beauty's mistake
is also my responsibility.

If the Emperor or Crown Prince
seeks accountability,

I will take full responsibility.

Since you are willing
to bear the responsibility,

then I'll leave both the beauty

and the screen in your care.

If anything goes wrong again,

I will come directly to you.

No need to worry, Your Highness.

This is my duty.

Very well. Everyone can disperse.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you for saving me.

I will do my best to fix it.

Repairing it is just an excuse.

You don't need
to concern yourself with it.

Stay here peacefully,

and if needed,
I will come to take you away.

Continue.

Yes, Your Highness.

I thought it was only Mei Lin,

but it turns out there are ten beauties,

all of whom burned their wrists recently.

One case could be considered an accident,

but ten beauties dying
would be impossible to cover up.

I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Attendant Shang, you've worked hard.

Here, take this.

The affairs at the Court
of State Ceremonial are complicated,

so I appreciate you
running this errand for me.

Now, return and rest.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

See you.

Since she didn't finish the job,

find her a good burial spot.

I'll take care of it.

It seems the woman who fled
from the Wenhua Pavilion is Mei Lin.

But the Imperial Guards at the Court
are loyal to my father.

We can't act recklessly there.

She can't hide
in the Court forever, can she?

We can't afford to wait.

You mean we assassinate Mei Lin?

Jinghe used poison to frame us once.

We'll use his own tactic against him.

I've had an arrow ready and no target.

Let's make the most of this opportunity.

Gan Ning from the Ministry of Defense
has long coveted Zhang Yin's position.

Have him submit a memorial.

Yes.

How could he not care?

My lord.

My lord.

The Imperial Household Department
is deliberately making things difficult.

They don't want to lend us
Empress Dejia's embroidery guide at all.

You and I are from Xiyan.

The fact that they allowed me

to copy the guide
was already a rare exception.

But there's so much content,
you won't sleep tonight.

I'll prepare some food for you.

No need.

You've only just recovered from a cold.

Get some rest early.

As long as you don't sleep,
neither will I.

Alright.

EMPRESS DEJIA'S GUIDE TO THE ART
OF INTERLACED STITCH EMBROIDERY

Mr. Yue Qin.

This is what I borrowed
from the Imperial Household Department.

Empress Dejia's Guide to the Art
of Interlaced Stitch Embroidery.

I hope it helps you.

Thank you, Mr. Yue Qin.

ART OF INTERLACED STITCH EMBROIDERY

Watch out.

Is this white vinegar?

There's white vinegar in the water.

Soak the embroidered screen in it.

It'll soften the threads on the back,
so they won't be as stiff to the touch.

I also brought some food,
in case you get hungry.

You're too thoughtful.

Let's get to work.

ART OF INTERLACED STITCH EMBROIDERY

Are you having trouble sleeping, my lord?

What brings you here?

Mei Lin has requested to see you.

What's the matter?

She didn't say.

Just that you must go
to the Court of State Ceremonial.

What is it?

My lord.

Empress Dejia must have had a reason
for embroidering this screen.

I've told you before.
Mind your own business.

There's a hidden pattern on the screen.

There's an invisible thread
woven into the design.

If you don't look closely,
you won't notice it.

The hidden thread
leads to a secret pattern.

The arrangement is very neat,
almost like a riddle.

It's the Weibei Army flag semaphore.

My…

son…

My son Jinghe is good by nature.

He could never have been
the butcher of the city.

But the rumor mill is churning.

I made this embroidery
to appease the people's anger,

hoping for a chance of survival
for my boy.

Jinghe, my only wish
is for you to live on,

to never lose hope.

One day, the clouds will part,
and the truth will be revealed.

Though we are separated by life and death,

may you be safe, then my soul at peace.

So, Her Majesty made this screen
to plead for your life.

Mother.

I was wrong.

If not for saving me…

the screen wouldn't have been damaged.

It wasn't entirely for your sake.

They intended
to use Mother's embroidery as a trap.

If I hadn't acted first,

the entire screen
might have been destroyed.

Hearing Mother's last words

is enough for me.

A little damage

doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

The belongings of the deceased are bridges
between the living and the dead.

If the screen isn't repaired properly,

won't Her Majesty be unable
to hear what you want to say to her?

Ghosts are nothing
more than the delusions of the living.

They are not to be believed.

I didn't believe in them either.

But after my parents passed, I started to.

I have many things I want to tell them.

The Dengguo Cakes aren't sweet anymore.

Mother's were always the best.

My stone hairpin is old.
I want Father to make me a new one.

I believe my parents
are always by my side.

That's why I keep surviving close calls.

Don't you have anything
you want to say to Her Majesty?

It's close.

But this thread's color seems off.

I searched for a long time,
but I couldn't find this color anywhere.

The thread…

The pattern on your clothes is stitched
with the exact same thread, my lord.

Did you miss a stitch?

Here.

In Interlaced Stitch embroidery,
it's easy to miss a stitch.

You know how to embroider, my lord?

I was mischievous as a child,

often punished

by being made to stand still,
watching my mother embroider.

I learned by watching.

Your Highness.

It's getting chilly. Let's get back.

It's done.

It looks exactly like before.

Whatever you wanted to say,

Her Majesty will hear it now.

Mother.

I have returned.

I…

am doing well now.

My lord, the screen is repaired.

Can I leave now?

Not yet.

The culprits believe

you are the witness
to the Wenhua Pavilion affair.

They'll stop at nothing
to target you again.

The timing
of when the screen is fully repaired

is up to me.

You're safest here.

I'm not afraid of death.

Even if you want to die,

you should make your death meaningful.

Your task is to stay here
and keep their attention diverted,

so I can search for Zhang Yin.

Once I find him, you'll be free to go.

I'll play my role as a Xiyan beauty well.

When necessary,
you don't need to play a beauty at all.

I mean,

when danger arises,

you can reveal your martial arts
and defend yourself.

My father is aware
of your Qingzhou origins.

It's not surprising
that an orphan from Qingzhou

learned martial arts for revenge.

My lord, I've found out something.

There's a woman named Meiniang

who frequently buys Whitening Pills
at the black market.

She has a peony flower mark on her neck.

I've arranged for her
to meet with our contact in three days.

Although Mei Lin
has stalled the Crown Prince for now,

this won't last forever.

The Crown Prince won't sit idly by.

- Keep an eye on their faction.
- Yes, Your Highness.

YANMING PALACE

Gan Ning's memorial claims

there's a spy
among the peace-making beauties.

Xuanlie, what do you think?

The Xiyan factions are complex.

I suspect this is a provocation
led by Mingju from the hawkish faction.

They intend to sow discord
between you and the King of Xiyan.

As long as the Xiyan royal court
remains committed to peace,

we can help the King
remove the rebellious tribes.

So, investigating the mastermind

is also for the sake of the King of Xiyan.

Moreover,
Mr. Yue Qin is still in Zhaojing.

This investigation
must be carried out in secret.

Who do you think is suitable for the task?

General Yin has fought
many campaigns against Xiyan.

She's familiar with the situation.

I believe she's the right person
for the job.

Your Highness.

Is General Yin still
at the West Suburbs Barracks?

Yes.

Let's go to the West Suburbs Barracks.

I may be slow,

but why not send our people
to investigate?

What if General Yin
sides with Prince Jing?

You don't know her.

When it comes to Great Yan,
she would never show favoritism.

But she's still clinging

to some childhood ties
she won't let go of.

It's time for me
to give her a little push.

One! Two!

Three!

Four!

Five! Six!

Seven!

Eight!

One! Two!

Three! Four!

Five! Six!

Seven! Eight!

One! Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six! Seven!

Your Highness.

- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

Your Highness, be careful!

Protect His Highness! Quickly!

Your Highness.

Give me your hand!

Please, Your Highness, forgive me.

The coachman was negligent
and deserves punishment.

This horse was a tribute from Xiyan,

not yet fully tamed, and still
they dared to let you ride it.

It's not their fault.
I insisted on riding it myself.

I nearly embarrassed myself, General Yin.

I wouldn't dare.

We grew up together.

Between you and me, there's no need
for formalities of ruler and subject.

Here's some wound medicine.

This dagger, did you win it from Jinghe?

This dagger was one
he snatched from me long ago.

I didn't expect it would end up
in your hands now.

But today, this dagger belongs to me,

so don't think about taking it back.

What's meant to be yours
will always be yours.

It's fate.

Your Highness, let's head back.

Luomei.

I came today, not just for a visit.

There's official business to discuss.

Someone has submitted a memorial,

claiming they've discovered
Xiyan spies in Zhaojing.

Father is concerned
Xiyan might be planning something.

So, he wants you to investigate
this matter in secret.

Xiyan spies.

They must have infiltrated
through the delegation.

I suspect this is linked to Mingju
from the hawkish faction in Xiyan.

Are we investigating this
for the King of Xiyan?

I knew I had chosen the right person
for this task.

You've fought many battles against Xiyan.

You know the strategies
of both armies well.

With you on this, Father can rest easy.

I will follow your command.

What concerns me most is Jinghe.

This case is tied to Prince Jing?

You've heard about the assassination
during the peace negotiations.

I interrogated the assassin.

She wasn't just any ordinary Beauty.

I fear

there's someone orchestrating chaos
behind the scenes,

hoping to use Jinghe

to stir up conflict
between the two nations.

Prince Jing may act recklessly at times,

but when it comes to matters of the state,

he understands what's at stake.

Big Brother.

This dagger looks like it's part
of a pair. Where's the other one?

There's no such thing as a pair.

It was made from 1,000-year-old
cold iron, enough for only one.

If you like it, I'll give it to you.

I'm not really into daggers anyway.

Luomei would like this much more.

You better make sure
she doesn't take it from you.

She'll have to beat me first.

Luomei, we were destined to be a pair.

CHANGXI PAVILION

What brings General Yin
to the Court of State Ceremonial?

Who are you?

Please stop, sir.

The General
is conducting an investigation.

This matter has long been investigated.

His Majesty himself decreed
it must never be discussed again.

Is General Yin planning
to abuse her authority?

Rest assured, sir.
The General knows what she's doing.

You…

Where is it?

The Travel Permits
of the Ministry of Defense.

They ensure
safe passage through Great Yan.

Meiniang, you won't be
transporting goods but people.

Otherwise, why would you need
two Travel Permits?

In the black market,

we only do business, no questions asked.

You should know this, huh?

I'm just curious.

TRAVEL PERMIT
