Your Majesty.

Luckily, a servant from the Xi Mansion

told me about the red bean bracelet.

I remember it clearly.

Only Jun Qiluo has a red bean bracelet.

She k*lled Li Tao.

She instructed Li Tao to harm my father.

Princess,

just based on a red bean bracelet,

you can't draw conclusions hastily.

If it wasn't Jun Qiluo,

how could the red bean bracelet

be found on Li Tao?

Your Majesty,

Jun Qiluo is cunning.

First, she k*lled my brother.

She feared my father's retaliation,

so she framed my father.

My father was k*lled by her.

Xi Changkun trafficked arms

and k*lled a Clan Leader.

The evidence is irrefutable.

How could it have been a frame-up?

Xu,

Qiluo has no reason to k*ll Xi Changkun.

This must have been a frame-up.

Since the maid had Jun Qiluo's bracelet,

we can imprison her

and interrogate her.

I want to see her true intentions.

Xu,

Qiluo only wanted to help me

become the Wolf Lord.

Your Majesty,

General Lie wants to protect Jun Qiluo.

Jun Qiluo k*lled my brother

and my father.

Your Majesty, please punish her.

Enough.

I will investigate this.

You may leave.

I once liked you

and trusted you,

but now you distort the truth

for Jun Qiluo,

ignoring my father's tragic death.

No one knows

the truth yet.

Xuan Lie,

you've been bewitched by her.

Jun Qiluo is a disaster.

You two plotted to convict my father.

She k*lled my father.

I curse both of you

for never having peace.

Jun Qiluo is indeed quite scheming.

I've always had doubts

about her coming here.

Now, I can interrogate her

in the prison.

Xu, Qiluo is very cautious.

If we imprison her rashly,

we might not get any answers.

Please give me some time.

I will find out the truth.

Are you afraid we won't get anything?

Or do you want to protect her?

I know.

You refused the marriage alliance

with Princess Sun

because of her.

But Lie, as the Wolf Lord,

how can you be so tangled in love?

Xu,

that has nothing to do with her.

- It's just

- What?

With this happening,

you still intend to protect her.

Lie,

I'm doing this for your own good.

The Five Clans are not unified yet.

If you have a weakness now,

how can you secure

the Wolf Lord position?

I know clearly

you have developed

true feelings for her.

Now you're protecting her.

She can no longer stay alive.

Spread my order:

Jun Qiluo k*lled

a maid of the Xi Mansion.

She might be a Yannan spy.

She shall be imprisoned

and tortured for confession.

Wait.

The reason why I kept her by my side

was not only

because there were many doubts

about Mr. Xi's death.

Qiluo

Jun Qiluo

is the Baigong's heir,

Jun Feifan.

What?

She's the Baigong's heir?

Those Baigong weapons

that have been defending Yannan

from our attacks come from a woman?

Is General Xuan Shu's death

also related to her?

I'm still investigating.

Xu, please give me

more time.

In that case,

I'll give you time to investigate.

But you must remember.

If she is really the Baigong's heir,

you must find a way

to make her serve Beixuan.

She must never return to Yannan.

I understand.

I believe you won't disappoint me.

You may leave.

Yes.

It seems Lie

has known for a long time

that Jun Qiluo is the Baigong's heir,

but he has never told me.

He is too deeply in love.

We must sever her escape routes

so she can never return to Yannan.

You go tell the spies in Yannan

to let the King of Yannan know

that the Baigong's heir is now

in my service.

Your Majesty, how wise of you.

Don't let Lie know about this for now.

Keep an eye on Jun Qiluo.

If there's any unusual movement,

arrest her immediately.

Be careful. Don't let anyone notice.

Yes.

(Xuan Mansion)

(Whispers of Fragrance and Shadows)

My Lady,

I went to the Xi Manor

during the day to gather info.

When Xi Jixiu's maid died,

she was holding a red bean bracelet.

So, he thinks that I might be

related to Xi Changkun's death.

(You have developed

true feelings for her.)

(Now you're protecting her.)

(She can no longer stay alive.)

(Qiluo,)

(I'll protect you.)

Once I find the trade token,

I'll go back to Yannan with you.

(Whispers of Fragrance and Shadows)

(Qingtang Manor)

Lie, drink with me.

I haven't heard from you recently.

You must be troubled by something,

so today I asked you to drink with me.

If you're upset,

feel free to tell me.

Over the years,

only you can read my mood

at a glance.

We brothers truly understand each other.

Before Xi Changkun died, he revealed

that at the Hunting Event,

someone besides him

wanted to k*ll me.

Besides him?

Who could that be?

After thinking it over,

based on the time they acted,

I think they're

after the Wolf Lord position.

Among the Five Clans,

besides the Xuan and Xi,

there are only the Sun, Su,

and my Luo.

Mr. Sun risked his life to save you,

so the Sun Clan wouldn't harm you.

The Su Clan is weak

and has no interest in the position.

That means it can only be

my Luo Clan.

Logically speaking,

your suspicion is indeed very high.

So, it's me

who wanted to k*ll you?

You wouldn't.

Everyone in this world

might want to k*ll me,

but you wouldn't.

Thank you for trusting me.

I have to go.

Let's drink properly another day.

What's so urgent?

Didn't we agree

to enjoy ourselves today?

He Jiyao found out

that before the Xi maid died,

she met a mysterious woman.

That woman should be at a residence

in the bamboo forest.

I'll go check it myself.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun.

It snowed suddenly last night.

The weather has gotten colder.

The young master ordered us

to prepare some thick clothes for you.

Our young master really cares about you.

The dungeon is cold.

Prepare some clothes for Dongyin too

and send them over.

You're so kind to Dongyin.

You've not only taught her

to weave and embroider

but also given her a way

to make a living.

(Embroidery?)

It's so beautiful.

I'll leave now.

(The embroidery on the wrist guard

used the same skills as on the hat.)

Miss Jun, where are you going?

You forgot your clothes.

(Heavenly Prison)

My Lady.

So, your master is him?

What are you saying?

I don't understand.

Yesterday, he set a trap for Xuan Lie

but was caught.

Now he's locked in the Heavenly Prison,

but he begged Xuan Lie

to spare your life.

He really

Who would have thought

the mastermind behind all this was him?

My Lady.

My Lady.

The poisoning

He didn't do it.

He didn't frame General Lie.

He truly treated General Lie

like a brother.

Like a brother?

So, it really was Luo Zhizhou.

My Lady.

My Lady.

It was my decision.

It has nothing to do with him.

You finally came.

Zhizhou,

it's really you.

You've suspected me long ago.

I only told you

about my coming here.

So,

you said the mysterious woman

would come here

to lure me into the trap.

I treated you like a brother

and never suspected you,

until today when I saw that painting

in your room.

Those flowers

were Eight Treasure Sedum, right?

As I know,

Consort Li's favorite flower

is Eight Treasure Sedum.

You once told me

about a woman you loved

but couldn't have.

If I'm not wrong,

she's Consort Li, right?

I met her in Xixiang.

At that time,

I was isolated.

She was the only one

who came close to me.

Later, we grew feelings for each other.

But just the day before I was going

to propose to her,

the King of Xixiang ordered

that Fanyin be sent as a Princess

to marry the King of Beixuan.

As a foreign woman in the Palace,

she had no one to protect her.

If I became the Wolf Lord,

I could protect her better.

Only then could I support Prince Yi

and have a chance

to take her away from the Palace.

Is this the reason you betrayed me?

Lie,

for her

and Yi,

I had no choice.

You led me into the forest.

You tried to k*ll me

at the Spring Festival.

You also k*lled Mr. Sun!

If I must die by your hands,

so be it.

Lie,

go ahead.

If you still wish,

we can be brothers in the next life.

The King has ordered

the arrest of Luo Leader Luo Zhizhou.

You've assassinated Lie multiple times.

You even k*lled Mr. Sun.

I deserve to die a thousand deaths.

My life is at your disposal.

Of course, I'll tear you apart.

But Consort Li must go down with you.

Your Majesty, why?

You once released a kite

outside her tent

to make her smile.

That has nothing to do with Consort Li.

I've had my people investigate.

Before entering the Palace,

Li Fanyin and you were very close.

Even on the eve of her marriage,

she was willing to elope with you.

Do you

deny this?

Your Majesty, please calm down.

What I had for Consort Li

was only one-sided love.

She saw me as nothing more

than a brother.

As for the elopement,

it was because I mistakenly thought

Consort Li didn't want to marry,

so I took her away from Xixiang.

Later, I learned

that Consort Li truly loved you,

and I gave up the idea.

Do you take me for a three-year-old?

Now, you'd stop at nothing

for the Wolf Lord position,

even trying to k*ll Lie.

Isn't all this

directly related to Consort Li?

I no longer have any affection

for Consort Li.

There's no reason for me

to sacrifice my life for her.

I want to be the Wolf Lord

because I don't want

to always be beneath Lie.

You speak without flaw,

but

why should I believe you?

In my view,

you refuse to believe that

for another reason.

How outrageous!

Only she and I know about our past

in Beixuan.

If you want to investigate,

you must send someone to Xixiang.

But from Beixuan to Xixiang,

even at full speed,

it takes at least three days.

But you only knew about the kite today.

Then you knew everything.

If I was right,

you must've known our past long ago.

You're very clever.

The entire Beixuan is under my control.

How could I not know

about your past with Consort Li?

Since you've already known,

why only bring it up now?

Being unable to unite the Five Clans

has always been a thorn in your heart.

What you want most now

should be the Luo Leader Seal

in my hands.

Yes.

So what?

I am willing to offer the military power

and the Luo Leader Seal.

Your Majesty,

please spare Consort Li's life.

Everything was done by me alone.

Consort Li knew nothing

about it.

Alright.

I promise you.

I will spare Li Fanyin's life.

Fanyin,

in this life,

you belong to me.

(Xuan, Su, Sun)

Your Majesty,

everything is going

according to your plan.

But now, Lie is deeply in love.

I must push him forward.

I plan to grant marriage for Lie

and Princess Zhaomin

at the Sacrifice Ritual.

Even if they are unwilling,

they won't dare defy

the decree in public.

Your Majesty, how wise of you.

Once General Lie marries Princess Sun,

the Sun Clan Seal will also be

within our grasp.

(Xuan, Su, Sun)

I've treated him

like a brother since childhood.

We once promised

that whether our enemy

was the army or the swords

and arrows of the world,

we'd fight side by side

and live and die together.

Tell me.

How could it be him?

How could it possibly be him?

Young Master, Dongyin has escaped

from the Heavenly Prison.

Though Dongyin is unforgivable,

she is also a pitiful, lovesick person.

Can you let her go?

She was only your servant,

and in the end,

she could not harm you.

Zhizhou was my friend

for over ten years,

but in the end, he

Forget it.

Let her go.

Yes.

Qiluo,

I'm tired. I'll head back first.

Xuan Lie,

take care.

Young Master,

how could Mr. Luo do this?

He and you have always been close,

and he is also the leader

of our Luo Clan.

Young Master,

what are you planning to do

about Miss Jun?

Now, all the clues point to Miss Jun.

You cannot let emotions

cloud your judgment.

She and I have gone

through dangers together.

If I can't trust her,

how can I face her?

Don't worry, My Lord.

Xi Changkun is dead.

The clues point to Jun Qiluo.

Mother, you've come to find me.

Take me home.

Please, take me home.

Mother.

Let go of me. Let me go.

I'll stay in Beixuan a little longer

and watch how things unfold.

(Yuchen Palace)

Your Majesty,

the Forbidden Troops

caught a Beixuan spy.

The spy revealed that Jun Feifan

had joined Beixuan.

His mission

is to escort the Jun family to Beixuan.

Since Jun Feifan dares to betray me,

she must bear the consequences.

Our family is going

through a turbulent time.

Chengliu is suddenly seriously ill.

Feifan

has disappeared.

We cannot be without a head.

We have to have someone in charge.

So, I discussed with the family elders

and decided to hold

the business conference early

to select a new Jun Manager.

Chengsong is right.

Yujue's been managing

the Jinxiu Jewelry Store

without any mistakes.

I propose that Yujue

be appointed as the new Jun Manager.

How does everyone feel about this?

Yujue truly cares for the Jun family.

There is no better candidate than him.

I agree.

I disagree.

Who disagrees?

It's Jiangjuan.

Don't make trouble.

This is a business conference,

not a place where you can speak freely.

Go back home.

Everyone,

the Jun Manager

must not only have business talent

but also be a person of integrity

and righteousness.

And my cousin is certainly

lacking in all three.

Jiangjuan,

what are you trying to say?

Recently, I had the accounts

of my cousin's jewelry store audited.

Everyone, please take a look.

The actual amount in the account

far exceeds what my cousin

has deposited in the family treasury.

Yujue,

as the manager of the jewelry store,

you falsified the accounts.

How can anyone trust him

as the Jun Manager?

No, Father, I

Before,

I was in charge

of the jewelry store account,

but I was busy looking

for a physician for Chengliu,

so I left the accounts

to the auditor in the shop.

He must've made an error in the numbers.

Yes, yes.

Sorry for being careless.

I'll go over it carefully later.

If there's any problem,

I will make up the difference.

Everyone, what do you think?

I will definitely

make up that difference.

Thank you, Jiangjuan, for reminding me.

You really are a good sister.

Jun Jiangjuan, as a woman,

you peeked at the accounts.

You violated our family rules.

Since the second branch has promised

to make up the difference,

I think we can let this slide.

I still agree that Yujue

should take the position.

Yes.

The first branch has no one

who is fit for the role now.

- Yes, yes.

- How true.

Who says the first branch

has no one suitable?

(Jun)

This

Father.

Father, you're awake.

Chengliu.

- Uncle.

- You're finally awake.

Chengliu, you don't know.

Yujue and I have been

worried sick these days.

Chengliu, you just woke up.

You should stay at home to rest.

You don't need to worry

about the conference.

I'll take you back.

We'll take you back.

- If I don't worry,

- Let go.

the family business

will eventually be ruined by you two.

- No

- Chengliu, what are you saying?

- I

- Father, don't get worked up.

Take care of your health.

Uncle Ling.

Respected elders

and managers,

I've come here today despite my illness

to ask you one thing.

Do you think I'm already dead

so you're supporting

the second branch in taking charge?

Uncle,

what you say

is truly hurtful to us.

Do you know?

It was only when we

saw you unconscious that

I've woken up now.

Can I still take charge?

Come back.

Twelve years ago,

Chengsong gambled

the family's business away.

It was Feifan and I

who managed to save the family.

When the shops were struggling,

it was Feifan who found a new way

and moved the obstacles,

leading the family to where we are now.

Chengliu,

this is all past.

Why are you bringing it up again?

Yes, look.

Now your health

I know my own health.

Before Feifan comes back,

I will temporarily take charge.

Does anyone have any objections?

I

The Gold Embroidery has no objections

about Mr. Chengliu taking charge.

That's right, we have no objections.

We have no objections either.

It's good for Mr. Chengliu

to come back and take charge.

Good.

Since there are no objections,

we'll go with it for now.

Congrats, Master.

Father, you haven't fully recovered.

Let me push you back.

Alright.

The King's decree.

Here's the King's order:

Jun Feifan is secretly in league

with foreign enemies,

plotting rebellion.

Now, the Jun family's first branch

shall be arrested and imprisoned,

awaiting judgment.

Impossible.

How could Feifan betray the country?

This is really interesting.

It all came so easily.

It's fate.

Your Majesty,

the Juns have been imprisoned.

Jun Chengliu begs to see you

in the Heavenly Prison.

He said Jun Feifan

would never betray the country.

Jun Feifan has been

in Beixuan for so long.

No one knows what she has done.

How would Jun Chengliu know

whether she has betrayed Yannan?

Your Majesty, are you saying?

I want to see

whether Jun Feifan

will still stay in Beixuan

if her father and sisters

die because of her.

(Spirit Tablet of Sun Ba, Late Husband)

I never imagined

that the one who k*lled my father

was Mr. Luo.

Zhaomin,

your father must have hoped

that you and Mrs. Sun

would soon buck up.

I understand.

My father's greatest wish in life

was for the people of Liangzhou

to live in peace and prosperity.

I will become the Sun Leader

and fulfill his wish.

You can do it.

By the way,

the Sacrifice Ritual is about to begin.

Qiluo, come with me.

I am just a Yannan merchant.

How could I enter

Beixuan Royal Palace?

Don't worry. I have a way.

It's the auspicious time.

Light the Sacrifice Fire.

Welcome the Wolf Lord.

(Eastern Affairs)

Welcome, Wolf Lord.

He is truly handsome.

Welcome, Wolf Lord.

Welcome, Wolf Lord.

Xuan Lie, as the Xuan Leader,

is talented in civil

and military affairs.

Destined by the heavens,

it shall be announced to the world

that he shall be granted the title

(Xuanwu Palace)

of the Five Clans' Wolf Lord,

taking the Five Clans' military power.

Today, I officially grant you

the title of Wolf Lord of Beixuan.

May you remember the royal favor

and help me protect Beixuan forever.

Your Majesty,

I will not fail your trust.

Your father always hoped

for the unity of the Five Clans.

Now that you've become the Wolf Lord,

your father must be very pleased

from the heavens.

I will never forget

my father's wishes.

The military token

of the Five Clans is granted.

The King is wise and virtuous.

Congrats to the Wolf Lord.

The King is wise and virtuous.

Congrats to the Wolf Lord.

The King is wise and virtuous.

Congrats to the Wolf Lord.

On this auspicious day,

I have another happy news to announce.

By royal command,

a marriage shall proceed.

The Wolf Lord Xuan Lie

with filial piety,

excels in civil and military affairs.

The Princess of the Sun Clan

is young, graceful, pretty, noble,

wise and talented.

Their marriage shall be granted.

They'll become a couple

to ensure the nation's prosperity.

They shall get married

on an auspicious day.

Zhaomin.

Zhaomin.

Zhaomin.

I know you can't stop thinking

about her,

but that won't affect

your marriage alliance.

Otherwise, even if she is

the Baigong's heir,

she still can't live.

The Wolf Lord must be overjoyed.

Princess Zhaomin

is elegant and graceful.

Lie, accept the decree.

Accept the decree.

Thank you for your royal kindness.

Your Majesty,

thanks for your grace.
