Take care of it right away.

Don't worry.

No one will know we did anything to it.

It won't affect

Miss Jiang's breathing at all.

Find a way to get one of our men inside.

Report back immediately

if there's any movement.

Yes, My Lord.

Also,

investigate everything Jiang Ci said,

one detail at a time.

We can't overlook anything.

The clues about the poisoner

must be there.

Yes, My Lord.

I heard you accompanied the princess

on the day of the family banquet.

Yes, I did.

I also personally prepared

the Ginkgo Hibiscus Soup.

You prepared it?

Her Highness was grieving

the loss of her loved one

and had no desire to attend the banquet.

But she couldn't defy

the Crown Prince's order.

So, I prepared the Ginkgo Hibiscus Soup

on Her Highness's behalf.

But the Princess said

she prepared it.

I supposed Her Highness didn't want

to implicate me and never suspected me.

So you poisoned it?

I would never harm Her Highness.

Do you think I don't know

you're the one

Chief Steward Tao planted

by Her Highness's side?

Chief Steward Tao placed you by her side

to keep an eye on her every day.

This banquet

was the perfect opportunity to frame her

by poisoning the soup secretly

while she was unwell.

That's right.

Chief Steward Tao did order me

to enter the Yuchun Pavilion.

But Her Highness treats

me like a sister.

I would never harm her.

I risked my life

to get this sleeve back

when no one was around.

Things happened too suddenly

that I didn't

have a chance

to give it to the Princess.

If I were a spy,

why would I risk my life to be ex*cuted

and why would I admit

that I made the soup?

Even if it's just a hairpin

or a book,

I remember

all the kindness the Princess

has shown me and my family.

I'm trapped in this situation

and all I can do is maneuver

my way through it.

But I would never harm the Princess.

If you're telling the truth,

was there anything unusual

when the soup was prepared?

Did anyone else handle it?

This family banquet is no small matter.

From preparing the ingredients

to cooking,

I did everything myself.

I wouldn't dare let anyone else help me.

Once it was ready,

I took the soup straight

to the Eastern Palace with the Princess.

It was the Princess

who served it to His Majesty.

I have no idea

why His Majesty

suddenly got poisoned.

(Wei's Residence)

My Lord.

How is everything on your end?

If the Imperial Court of Judicial

didn't hide the documents

like treasures,

you wouldn't have to take such risks.

The case records match

what Jiang Ci said.

At that time,

they only tested the food

His Majesty ate

and the bowls he used for poison.

They didn't check anything else

or keep any evidence.

I followed your orders and conducted

a thorough investigation.

But found no suspicious points.

Instead, the testimonies

from the witnesses

at the banquet point at Miss Jiang.

According to Liu Cui and Jiang Ci,

no one else handled the soup

during its preparation

or served it to His Majesty.

And then there's Yu Jiming's attitude.

The test for poison conducted

by the Imperial Court of Judicial

was very conclusive.

It was almost

as if the poison was in the food

and they were determined

to pin the blame on Jiang Ci.

Could it really be

Miss Jiang?

You've been at the Light Bureau

for many years.

How many times have you encountered

such a straightforward case?

Are you implying it's a setup?

But who could manipulate

the Imperial Court of Judicial?

Before the family banquet,

His Majesty visited Jiang Ci

and because of Yan Shuangqiao's relics,

Jiang Ci argued with His Majesty

in front of everyone.

There were only a few people

at the banquet.

If it's not the Crown Prince

or Prince Zhuang,

the ones who repeatedly tried

to target Jiang Ci

His Majesty?

It's very likely

he orchestrated this.

Using himself to set a trap

to pin the crime of regicide on Jiang Ci

and take her life.

Perhaps,

it's also to test me.

If that's the case,

doesn't that put you in more danger?

The priority now

is to rescue Jiang Ci.

Proving her innocence won't work.

We have to find another way,

and that way

is Prince Zhuang.

Yifei,

send some good music scores

to Lanyue Parlor discreetly.

The sooner, the better.

Don't let anyone catch you.

Yes, My Lord.

Investigate everything thoroughly.

Check every detail.

It's been a while

since I saw you prepare medicine.

I'm preparing this for Ci.

After her wedding,

she was severely physically injured

and emotionally distressed.

Have you been to the palace?

At Commander Wei's request,

I visited twice.

How about next time

Your Lordship goes in my place?

I'm sure you're concerned about Ci.

This is

Your Lordship, try it.

This is hibiscus.

It has cooling

and blood-cleansing properties.

Your Lordship,

the court announced

that His Majesty is unwell this morning.

Affairs are temporarily handled

by the Crown Prince.

I heard His Majesty was poisoned

during the family banquet.

The poisoner

is Miss Jiang

and she has already been imprisoned

in the dungeon.

Go to Lanyue Parlor

and book a private room.

Yes, Your Lordship.

It's full.

It's overflowing.

I was so enchanted by the music.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

For you to feel so touched,

I think

today's new pieces

are even more wonderful.

Oh, you're here too, Your Highness.

Sanlang,

are you here to enjoy some music too?

I'm here for a drink.

Miss Su Yan,

please help me find a quiet corner.

Since you're already here,

why look for a quiet spot?

Are you saying you find me noisy?

I dare not think that.

I'm just a bit troubled lately

and don't want to ruin your mood.

Su Yan, take care of your business.

I'll drink with you.

Sanlang, come and take a seat.

Come on.

Sanlang, why drown

your sorrows in a drink?

First, there was Madam Rongguo's

palace coup.

Then the poisoning

at the family banquet.

His Majesty repeatedly faced dangers.

But there's nothing I can do.

You've always been decisive

in your investigations.

You'll definitely find the culprit

before the Imperial Court of Judicial.

There are many suspicious points

in this case.

It's hard for me to investigate.

Plus,

I have had several conflicts

with the Crown Prince.

If the Crown Prince ascends

the throne in the future,

the Light Bureau

might cease to exist.

I misspoke.

Those were only drunken words.

I won't take it seriously.

You mentioned

many suspicious points earlier.

What exactly do you mean?

I just find it strange.

Why would the Princess want

to harm His Majesty?

Why would she poison him?

Perhaps poisoning to avenge her master

could be a way to cover her tracks.

But the Imperial Court of Judicial took

the Princess away on the spot yesterday.

So poisoning

didn't really keep things under wraps.

Given how much His Majesty values

the Princess now,

she'd use a much more discreet method

if she wanted to poison him.

Besides, the Imperial Court of Judicial

only tested the food at the scene.

But what if the poison was

in other places?

For instance, the cups,

plates,

serving tables,

washing vessels,

or hand towels?

I'm just saying, but there are

so many suspicious points.

I also heard

from the Imperial Court of Judicial

that His Majesty was poisoned

by something called Oleander.

Its sap is toxic.

A small amount

causes diarrhea and stomach pain,

while a larger amount

can lead to heart failure

and internal bleeding.

Let's take it

to the most extreme possibility.

Even if the Princess were truly

the culprit,

what would she gain

from this revenge?

Just a moment of satisfaction?

Death?

Is it really worth it?

His Majesty's poisoning

is a serious matter.

I'm afraid someone might

be trying to take advantage of the chaos

to serve their own interests.

You sure have

a keen eye.

It's admirable.

I'm truly impressed.

Let's drink.

Here.

What are the odds

of seeing Lord Pei in Lanyue Parlor?

Go and find out

who he is meeting with today.

I want you to monitor

Prince Zhuang's Residence in person.

Is Prince Zhuang going

to take action

against the Crown Prince?

After lying low for so many years,

he must be planning something.

How can he be so carefree

at a time like this?

Your Highness.

Shaojun,

Sanguan is unbelievable.

He has the leisure to listen to music

when Father is gravely ill.

I had a few words with him on the way,

which kept you waiting.

Prince Zhuang was here?

My mother made a serious mistake.

I'm truly grateful that Your Highness

still made time for me.

Please, take a seat.

It's hard to balance loyalty

and filial piety.

Regarding Madam Rongguo,

you were also a victim

of the circumstances.

But with the recent unrest in the court,

it wasn't convenient

to speak up for you.

I will always be grateful

for your trust, Your Highness.

I sincerely request

to share your worries

by investigating

the case of His Majesty's poisoning.

How did you find out about this?

I've been keeping an eye on the Princess

and learned

she has recently been imprisoned.

If you're doing this for Yong'an,

I'm afraid

I can't help you.

I'm not here to plead for the Princess.

I'm worried that someone

might take advantage of the chaos

and endanger the state.

I'm willing to accept punishment

and do whatever I can.

Please tell me what happened

that day.

On the day of the incident

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Summon

the Imperial Physician now!

Based on the investigation,

Yong'an

has strong motives for the crime.

In any case,

the case has been handed over

to the Imperial Court for investigation.

I can't interfere.

Shaojun,

you should let go of Yong'an for now.

Since that's the case,

I respectfully request

allow me to meet her.

I can't allow that.

If Jiang Ci

truly committed such a grave crime,

she could face severe consequences.

I may not be destined

to be with her.

But I hope for some closure.

I beg you

to let me see her.

Ci, forgive me

for only seeing you now.

It has already come to this point.

You don't have to say more.

I won't push you anymore.

Ziming prepared this medicine for you.

It will help restore your health.

Drink it.

Thank you, Your Lordship.

Send my thanks to Cui too.

The Pei Clan isn't what it used to be.

You have your own matters to attend to.

So you don't need to worry about me.

I will get you out of here.

Just pretend like we were back

to the time when we first met.

The time when you thought of me

as the Lord of Jianding

who helps the weak.

Your Lordship,

is Miss Jiang all right?

This case is complicated.

It might end in a deadlock.

Could it really be Jiang Ci

who poisoned him?

Since her return to the palace,

it seems every little thing

has threatened her life.

Yan Shuangqiao was m*rder*d,

she confronted His Majesty,

poisoned someone in the palace,

and rumors about her background.

I've been blinded by it all.

It's only now that I understand.

What did you come to realize?

Why do I get the more confused,

the more I hear it?

Your Lordship,

how do you plan to respond to this?

If we want to save Ci,

we can leverage

the Crown Prince's sense of justice.

If we can't catch the real culprit,

we must redirect the blame.

But that means putting the people

who were there in a difficult position.

The only ones present besides Miss Jiang

were the Crown Prince and Prince Zhuang.

(Prince Zhuang's Residence, Qingkang)

Why were you

at Prince Zhuang's Residence?

I took the wrong turn.

What about you?

I

I was passing by.

Who are you trying to fool?

Who walks around at night

dressed like that?

Who else would get lost

while dressed in dark clothes?

Your Lordship,

we've found the Goose Slicing Knife

based on your description.

Your Lordship,

why aren't you eating after ordering it?

I'm starving.

So I'll dig in first.

Your Lordship,

do you know who I ran into

near Prince Zhuang's Residence?

Wei Zhao's man.

You're good at predicting outcomes.

Once you finish your noodles,

drop by Wei's Residence

and invite Sanlang to Lanyue Parlor

for a meeting.

You and I

shouldn't be meeting.

But the current circumstances are beyond

what either of us can resolve alone.

The mastermind behind this

is too heavy for us to bear alone.

Did you meet the Crown Prince

because of this matter?

Did you also meet Prince Zhuang

because of this matter?

(Changle Hall)

My Lord,

Prince Zhuang is making his move

against the Eastern Palace.

Greetings, Prince Zhuang.

How is Sister-in-law doing?

She's out of danger now.

What brings you here?

I heard your wife was poisoned,

so I brought Official Yin

to check on her.

Official Yu,

what happened?

Your Highness,

I found Oleander

in the hand-washing herbs.

I guess the Crown Princess was poisoned

by the pastries she touched

after washing

her hands with the poisoned water.

Don't you find

this situation familiar?

Did the pine, bamboo, and plum come from

the leftovers of the family banquet?

Exactly.

Oleander is highly toxic.

So why is His Majesty unconscious

while the Crown Princess

only experienced mild symptoms?

The toxicity depends on the dosage.

High dosage can be fatal

and low dosage causes

stomach pain and diarrhea.

It's possible that the poison

had been stored for a long time

and had lost some

of its potency due to humidity.

Crown Prince,

the Crown Princess's poisoning

shares many similarities

with the previous case.

It seems unlikely to be an accident.

But currently,

the suspect, Princess Yong'an,

is denying her guilt.

In my opinion,

this case should be handed over

to the Censorate and the Imperial Court

for a joint investigation.

Only then can we show the justice

and strictness of Liang State's laws.

Crown Prince,

the evidence

against Princess Yong'an is solid.

The facts are clear.

We should close this case

and punish the criminal quickly.

Official Yu,

you didn't test pine, bamboo,

and plum that day.

How can that

be considered solid evidence?

Crown Prince,

this is about His Majesty's safety

and it's a serious matter.

We must conduct an investigation

to ensure the security

of the Imperial family

and the stability of the court.

Crown Prince, please.

We will do as Official Yin said.

Chi, you're wise.

The knife was smeared with Oleander.

Be careful when handling it.

Don't worry, Your Lordship.

Let someone from the Imperial Court

of Judicial find this knife

among the discarded items

at Prince Zhuang's Residence

and leak this information

to the Crown Prince.

He will come and see me.

How are you so sure, Your Lordship?

If the Crown Prince senses

Prince Zhuang's betrayal,

he will feel lost.

He won't consult

with any ministers about this matter.

Since I'm outside of all this,

I'll be his first choice.

Shaojun,

please keep what I'm about

to say confidential.

Your Highness, speak freely.

This is the knife Sanguan used

to carve the goose for Father

during the family banquet.

It was found

near Prince Zhuang's Residence.

It has traces

of Oleander on it.

Oleander?

Isn't that the poison

that harmed His Majesty?

Yu Jiming chose not to report this

and intended to discard it.

But the Imperial Court of Judicial's

Recorder thought it was too serious

and secretly delivered it

to the Eastern Palace.

How do you plan to respond,

Your Highness?

I was thinking

of going to Sanguan's residence

to ask him directly.

I don't think that's wise.

This case is under the jurisdiction

of the Imperial Court of Judicial.

You knowing this in advance

is already overstepping.

This matter involves Sanguan.

I

really don't know what to do.

I understand your dilemma.

If the Third Prince didn't do anything,

the Imperial Court of Judicial

will prove his innocence.

But what if

there are hidden truths?

Sanguan would never harm Father.

The Third Prince may not have intended

to harm His Majesty.

But when it comes to you,

that's another story.

I've heard that the Crown Princess

was poisoned a few days ago.

Do you think

it was just a coincidence?

Then I shall hand

over it

to the Imperial Court of Judicial

and let them investigate this.

That's still not appropriate.

If they wanted

to investigate this thoroughly,

they wouldn't have suppressed it.

Moreover, if there is a misunderstanding,

your actions might lead

the Third Prince to misinterpret things,

which could harm the relationship

between you two brothers.

Then what do you think I should do?

Official Yin of the Censorate

has always been known

to be impartial and fair.

You could secretly send

someone to submit the evidence

and leave the decision to the Censorate.

The Crown Prince and Prince Zhuang

are already at odds with each other.

As long as Jiang Ci

is not the only suspect,

the crisis can be diverted.

His Majesty would never

let his sons bear

the crime of patricide.

At that point,

the matter will have to be minimized.

But even that won't be enough.

We still need Jiang Ci to cooperate.

This situation is dangerous.

It's better if only

the both of us take the risk.

Ci should not be further implicated.

She has been caught between us before,

coping with us,

surviving through danger after danger

just to seize a chance at life.

Only if she can take control

during the trial

will there be any hope

of her escaping danger.

You know better than anyone

what state Ci is in right now.

She can't afford to keep sinking deeper.

Once this trial is over,

the first thing I'll do

is send her out of the palace.

Are you really willing to let her go?

She could have left long ago.

But each time,

she stayed to save others.

If it hadn't been

for my insistence on bringing

Yan Shuangqiao back to Qingkang,

she wouldn't have died.

Maybe Jiang Ci

could have already been living

a peaceful life by now.

You were right back then.

it was my insistence on the marriage

that gave my mother the opportunity.

I owe her this.

His Majesty won't easily let Ci go.

What is your plan?

Yin Shilin is strict and upright.

He'll let the Imperial Court of Judicial

hold a full tri-court hearing.

So long as the two Princes

can't clear their names,

the Imperial Court of Judicial

will have no reason to detain Jiang Ci.

Once the trial ends,

I'll send her out of the palace.

My men will be waiting outside

to help her leave.

After that,

Qingkang and all its troubles

will no longer concern her.

(Qingkang)

(Liangzhou)

(Liangzhou

Liang Army Camp)

Have you seen Commander Wei?

Commander Wei?

No.

Sir,

we've asked around.

Commander Wei did come to Liangzhou.

After that, no one has seen him again.

He obtained such great merit.

How could he suddenly vanish?

Search again.

Yes, sir.

(Yueluo)

Have you seen this person?

- No, I haven't.

- No.

Have you seen this person?

No, I haven't.

Did you see this person anywhere?

No.

There's something suspicious about them.

Let's go.

Sir, what do you like to order?

A bowl of congee.

Coming right up.

Have you seen this person before?

Isn't this

Why?

Do you know him?

I don't know him.

I was mistaken.

What about you?

I've never seen him.

I don't know him.

Let's go.

Sir, here's your congee.

Thank you.

Do you know the person in the portrait?

He's a close friend of mine

for many years.

Earlier, he came to Yueluo.

But then there was no news from him.

I'm really worried.

His sister sent me here.

She's as beautiful as they say.

As expected of someone from Yueluo.

Back then,

Physician Jiang was kidnapped by Lu Yu.

Official Xiao chased after Lu Yu

to save his wife

but never came back.

Official Xiao?

Wife?

You didn't know he was married?

Of course, I know that.

His wife is clever.

Her name

is Jiang Ci, right?

That's right.

I had no idea my friend

had become Yueluo's military strategist.

He risked his life for us many times.

We will always remember that kindness.

Mister, I want two buns.

Coming!

Enjoy your meal.

Two buns, right?

Yes.

All right.

(No wonder the Yueluo people

are acting weird about Wei Zhao.)

(They were protecting him.)

(But why has he never mentioned

anything about this,)

(and how did

he end up marrying Jiang Ci?)

(Xiao?)

(Why did he choose to go

by the last name Xiao?)

Wei Zhao,

I don't care what secrets you're hiding.

This time,

I will settle every grievance

and seek revenge where it is due.

Your Highness.

You must have suffered a lot,

Your Highness.

You were not implicated, were you?

No, I'm all right.

Don't worry about me, Your Highness.

Have something to eat.

You've lost weight again, Your Highness.

Cat's Ear

with goose feet.

Crabs

with snacks.

Each has its own flavor

in this divided world.

Your Highness,

you have to take both sides

to survive.

How could this be?

Forgive me.

This is the only thing I could salvage.

Commander Wei wants me

to relay this to you.

Although she's facing

an unprecedented dilemma

If her master were to ask her now

if she wants to save herself,

how would she respond?

Ci.

Master.

Stay alive.

- Greetings, Your Highness

- Greetings, Your Highness

- and Third Prince.

- and Third Prince.

Official Yin, why did you summon us here

in the middle of the night?

Yesterday,

I received new evidence related

to the poisoning case at the banquet.

So I requested both of Your Highnesses

and Official Yu to come and discuss it.

Isn't this my knife?

What kind of physical evidence

is it supposed to be?

I found a lethal poison on this knife,

Oleander.

Who is it?

Who's trying to frame me?

If this is an attempt

to frame someone,

I ask Official Yin

to look into the details closely

and clear Sanguan's name.

Judging from your tone,

are you saying I'm the culprit

or are you trying to lead this

to a different direction?

I only want to get

to the bottom of this.

What a reasonable excuse.

If Official Yin is determined

to investigate the case thoroughly,

then no clue should be overlooked.

The pine, bamboo, and plum

from the Eastern Palace

have yet to be considered as evidence

by the Imperial Court of Judicial.

Why not hand it over

to the Censorate today as well?

Since both Your Highnesses

are involved in this case,

Official Yu,

in my opinion,

this case should include

the new evidence

and be investigated by the Imperial

Court of Judicial and the Censorate

to uncover the truth.

Your Highnesses,

what do you think?

All right.

Investigate it.

Chi,

what about you?

Sure.

Third Prince,

what's the matter?

My brother

always speaks of righteousness

and morality.

He uses despicable means

to protect himself.

Do you know what he did?

Chi wants to use

the Goose Slicing Knife to frame me.

How did that happen?

I wanted to know too.

Why is he trying to frame me

after framing Yong'an?

He clearly has everything.

The Crown Prince is the heir

to the throne.

If he doesn't clear his name soon,

it could hinder his path to the throne.

That's why he's taking the risk

of sacrificing Your Highness.

Sanlang, you see it clearly.

If there is a future,

I will not forget

the Light Bureau or you.

Your Highness, the urgent matter now

is to find testimony that benefits you

to clear the suspicion.

But on the day of the banquet,

there were only a few people.

Yong'an.

Spare the formalities.

You refuse to confess.

So who do you think

is the culprit?

To anyone,

I am the easiest person to bully

and the most convenient tool to use.

So, you're saying

someone is trying to use you

to poison Father?

Your Highness,

the toxicity of Oleander depends

on the dosage.

Given that His Majesty

is merely unconscious,

it's clear that the dosage

was carefully considered.

I'm guessing

that the real culprit intended

to frame me,

but not to take His Majesty's life.

If they weren't trying

to k*ll His Majesty,

then they must have other motives.

Your Highness,

do you still remember

the rumors about Prince Qi's case

spreading like wildfire inside

and outside the palace?

Now, it seems

someone deliberately orchestrated it.

It concerns Father's reputation.

How could we let it go unchecked?

But this matter is deeply entangled.

We must first gauge Father's attitude

before deciding how to respond.

So, he's after my position.

Your Highness, please calm down.

I ask for justice and clear my name

through a detailed investigation.

I do not wish to be wrongfully accused,

nor to be used by those

with ill intentions.

Your Highness,

this case has many suspicious elements,

affecting both Princess Yong'an's

and your reputation.

Yong'an,

you've suffered during this time.

Rest and recover.

When the public trial comes,

speak boldly of everything.

I

will definitely clear your name.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Shaojun,

could it really

be Sanguan framing both Yong'an and me?

Your Highness already knows the answer,

but is reluctant to accept it.

My relationship with Sanguan

has always been strong.

How do you expect me to believe that?

I can tolerate many things for Sanguan.

But if he disregards ethics

and righteousness,

or plots against his father

and brothers,

I will have no choice

but to pursue this to the end.

Even Chi has approached Yong'an.

The Crown Prince

likely has the same suspicions as you.

His charitable demeanor is nothing more

than a facade to win favor.

Who knows what he has told Yong'an?

I fear she may be easily deceived

by his sweet words.

He would claim to restore her innocence

but end up blaming me instead.

As long as you can present

what is at stake,

the Princess will have options

to choose from.

Greetings, Prince Zhuang.

Come. Get up.

I don't know anything.

Yong'an,

look at you.

This sudden disaster

must have caused you

a lot of suffering.

I saw Chi outside just now.

Did he trouble you?

Did he say anything to you?

Your Highness,

the situation is critical

and your life hangs by a thread.

Prince Zhuang comes

with good intentions.

The Crown Prince will save me.

How will the Crown Prince

save you?

The Crown Prince believes

that I'm innocent.

So long I confess everything

in the court,

he will seek justice for me.

So, the Crown Prince believes

that you're innocent.

Is there anyone

he thinks is the culprit?

Chi sure is good

at scheming.

He's planning to use Yong'an

to frame me.

The Imperial Court of Judicial

has found new evidence

that points

at the Crown Prince.

Yong'an,

it's the Crown Prince

who harbors ill intent.

He was the one who framed you.

Why would he save you?

So long as you testify

that Chi framed you,

I will have a way to clear your name.

Are you also saying

the Crown Prince spread

the rumors about my father?

It was all to frame me?

You don't understand

the complexities of the court

or the treachery in people's hearts.

Chi not only poisoned Father

but also tarnished his reputation.

Would someone like this show you mercy?

Yong'an.

I'm the only one

who can protect you.

Bring in the criminal, Princess Yong'an!
