[Episode 38]

Zornia.

Who are you?

Where am I?

You

It's you!

Yuchen.

Yan Nanxing

is right in front of you.

It's your job

to study her.

Bai Yuchen.

You colluded with a criminal

behind the back of the Jiang family.

You let Her Highness down.

Shut up!

Yan Nanxing.

As long as you tell me

how to shapeshift,

I'll spare your life.

I don't know.

How is her pulse?

Grand Councilor.

Her pulse

is indeed similar to that of someone

poisoned with Zornia.

But what's strange

is that the poison we used on her

didn't work.

Great.

I heard

even knockout drops couldn't work on you.

Are you indeed immune to all poisons?

Not only can you detoxify Zornia,

but you also know how to shapeshift.

Yuchen.

What are you going to do?

Feed them with her blood.

Yan Nanxing.

Not only can you detoxify Zornia,

but you can also shapeshift.

Great.

Come on.

Make her drink more Zornia poison.

Today, I want to see

how you shapeshift.

Grand Councilor.

She's severely poisoned.

She'll die if we make her drink more poison.

Then, we won't be able

to study the secret of her ability to shapeshift.

Yuchen.

Keep an eye on her for me.

I want to know

how she shapeshifts.

[Meet me at the Inspection Office]

Jiang Xinbai.

Jiang Xinbai!

It's really you.

Yao

is dead.

Who k*lled him?

Yan Biqing.

Then, we should k*ll him to avenge Yao's death.

Shang Bieli.

The reason I came to you

is indeed

to avenge Yao.

But I don't want

to get you involved.

Both your men

and my men

died

because of the Zornia case.

I must take revenge!

So,

there's no way back for us.

Did you find any new information

recently?

I checked their route to transport Zornia.

What did you find?

Yan Jinglun and his son

transported Zornia secretly

as they transported tributes,

but the traces they left were erased.

Do you think

they have an accomplice?

They alone

couldn't possibly have made the Zornia business

last for more than 20 years.

This time,

I must find

the person behind them

and bring them to justice.

Where is the second-in-command

of the Baiyuan g*ng?

I took him to the Jinwu Guards' prison

in case Yan Jinglun took him to the Ministry of Justice

and k*lled him.

Take me to him.

[Jinwu Guards]

Don't waste your energy.

I'm not going to tell you anything.

But I have something to tell you.

Jiang Xinbai.

I will k*ll you

to avenge Chief Bai and my brothers!

You're in no position to act tough here.

I want to tell you

it was not me but Yan Jinglun and his son

who k*lled Bai Yuan.

Nonsense!

I've dealt with you

in Tingzhou.

As you saw,

although Yi Yuanshan had committed a serious crime,

I didn't k*ll him.

Instead, I brought him back to the capital for trial.

My attitude towards Bai Yuan

was the same.

I wouldn't k*ll him.

Only those who wanted to silence him for good

would do it.

Then how did

Chief Bai die?

He died

trying to protect me and Yan Nanxing.

I told him

this woman would cause

his death.

It's you.

You caused his death!

Before he died, he told me

there is something

in Yan Biqing's house.

Tell me.

What did he want to say?

Chief Bai

Chief Bai actually

Tell me.

There's Zornia

in the Yan Residence.

You hid Zornia in the Yan family's house?

Chief Bai

never

burned his bridges.

He put Zornia in the Yan family's house

on purpose.

He did this

in case Yan Biqing

betrayed us.

Go to the Ministry of Personnel to apply for a document

to search the Yan Residence.

Tell me.

Where are your other Zornia fields?

Only after Zornia disappears completely

in Tingzhou

can the people in Yuan Village be safe.

It's also what Bai Yuan wanted,

isn't it?

Jiang Xinbai.

Promise me

you'll

keep everyone in Yuan Village

safe.

Okay.

I promise.

Commander.

We found Zornia in the back room.

Commander.

We found Zornia in the garden.

Commander.

We found Zornia under Yan Biqing's bed.

Let go of me!

On what grounds are you arresting me?

You sold Zornia without permission.

The evidence is solid.

Take him away.

Your words can't serve as proof.

What evidence do you have?

Shang Bieli.

Use your brain.

No Zornia dealer

would keep Zornia at home.

You would.

The Jinwu Guards are here to investigate a case.

How dare you!

This is the Ministry of Justice.

How could you

barge in here?

Yan Jinglun sold Zornia without permission.

All his relatives shall be ex*cuted.

Nonsense!

How could I possibly have something to do

with Zornia?

Arrest him!

How dare you!

Go.

Go.

This is the Ministry of Justice!

Go.

Let go of me.

I can walk myself.

Behave.

Behave.

Go.

Go.

Hurry!

Go in.

Father.

Biqing.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Father.

Why did they

arrest you, too?

You're the Assistant Minister of Justice!

They said

they found Zornia in our house.

What happened?

It was Bai Yuan.

He hid Zornia in our house on purpose.

You

Gosh. I'm speechless!

He's already dead.

Yet he succeeded

in taking us down with him.

Father.

What should we do now?

Father!

Leave me alone!

What should we do?

We should wait.

The case

hasn't been closed.

Shang Bieli doesn't dare do anything

to us.

They found Zornia in our house.

It's solid evidence!

With the grand councilor behind us,

what's there to be afraid of?

The grand councilor?

Will he save us?

He didn't save Lu Dingzhao and Li Jun

back then!

We

There's a saying,

"That was then, and this is now."

Yan Nanxing has pleaded guilty.

Jiang Xinbai has been dismissed.

His Majesty

trusts the grand councilor very much.

Everything will be fine.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

Everything will be fine.

Sai'er.

Shang.

Sorry, Sai'er.

I made you suffer.

It's okay, Shang.

Please save Ms. Yan.

Yan Nanxing?

What happened to her?

She pleaded guilty

and was sent to prison.

Then, she suddenly disappeared.

She pleaded guilty?

And she disappeared?

What happened?

[Taiji Gate]

Your Majesty.

His Majesty is resting.

Why do you keep

stopping me?

I dare not.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

You're awake.

How dare you!

Who let you in?

Get out.

Your Majesty.

Please go.

Where is the grand councilor?

Grand Councilor.

I, Pei Linfu, bow in respect

before Your Majesties.

Rise.

Grand Councilor.

Make some incense for me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why are you still standing here?

Get lost!

From now on,

except for the grand councilor,

no one

is allowed to enter

without being summoned.

Grand Councilor.

I can finally get some rest.

I'll leave all state affairs

to you.

Grand Councilor.

This token

represents me.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please leave.

[Zhaode Hall]

Grand Councilor.

Today, Shang Bieli and his men

found Zornia in the Yan Residence

and took Yan Biqing and his father away.

How dare they?

I suspect

Jiang Xinbai is back.

Do you know his whereabouts?

Where are

Yan Biqing and Yan Jinglun now?

In the Jinwu Guards' prison.

Xinbai is really back?

He's inside.

Follow me.

Xinbai.

Xinbai.

Is everything okay?

I heard

Yuejiang's Residence was sealed.

The grand councilor has ordered someone

to unseal it.

It was because of Yan Nanxing.

She went to the Ministry of Justice to plead guilty.

How could she plead guilty?

Xinbai.

You're wanted.

You can't go out.

But I can't let anything

happen to Yan Nanxing.

Jiang Xinbai.

I went to the Ministry of Justice.

Yan Nanxing was not there.

What?

She had been kept

in the Ministry of Justice's prison.

But last night,

she suddenly disappeared.

Disappeared?

What does that mean?

Did she find a way

to escape?

That's impossible.

If she'd run away,

she'd have taken Sai'er and Ruoqian with her.

How are they now?

Don't worry.

I've taken them

to my place.

What about Yan Jinglun and Yan Biqing?

I found Zornia in their house

and then sent them to the Jinwu Guards' prison.

I'm sure they know

where Yan Nanxing is.

Take me to them.

Xinbai.

I'll go with you.

Mr. Yan.

Suoluo.

The situation is unclear.

We also need to take care of my grandfather

and mother.

Don't act rashly for now.

Alright.

Don't worry about your mother

and grandfather.

We'll stay together.

If anything happens,

we can take care of each other.

Xinbai, take care.

Father.

You are

-Grand Councilor!

-Grand Councilor!

It's really you!

Grand Councilor.

Grand Councilor, you're finally here!

Greetings, Grand Councilor.

Grand Councilor.

We were careless

this time.

We fell into Bai Yuan's trap,

which gave Shang Bieli

and Jiang Xinbai a chance

to arrest us.

It

It was my fault.

Please forgive me.

Grand Councilor,

for all the work I've done for you

over the years,

please save our lives.

You want me to save your lives?

Yes.

Are you two

still of value

to me?

-Grand Councilor.

-Grand Councilor.

Grand Councilor!

-Grand Councilor!

-Grand Councilor!

Please don't do this.

Grand Councilor, please save us!

I'm begging you, Grand Councilor.

Grand Councilor.

Which one of you

will drink the wine?

Which one of you will live?

It's your choice.

Father.

Biqing.

Grand Councilor.

Biqing is inexperienced

and has no official position.

He's unable to help you.

Father!

If you hadn't brought Bai Yuan to our home,

he wouldn't have had the chance to hide Zornia there.

You should take responsibility for your mistake!

Father.

I'm still young!

You're old.

You should have lived long enough.

You

Bullshit!

You have to die sooner or later!

You

-Die!

-You b*stard!

Think of this as leaving Grandfather's descendant in the world!

Grand

Grand Councilor.

When will you get me out?

Alright.

Biqing.

I'll send you on your way now.

Thank you, Grand Councilor!

Come on.

Send him to his death now!

Pei Linfu!

How could you let this happen?

Commander.

Two hours ago,

two people came here.

They had His Majesty's token with them

and asked us to leave.

They are from the palace?

The only way now

is to meet His Majesty.

But you are still a criminal.

I, Shang Bieli,

brought criminal Jiang Xinbai

to see Your Majesty.

Greetings, Grand Councilor.

Commander Shang.

You did a fabulous job

bringing the criminal to His Majesty.

Grand Councilor.

Guards.

Yes.

Jiang Xinbai,

you colluded with Zornia criminals.

Take him down

and send him to the Imperial Prison.

Yes.

Grand Councilor.

Commander Shang,

you have also worked hard.

From now on,

you are relieved of your command.

Go home and rest.

I'll do what you said.

Commander Shang.

Her Majesty wishes to see you.

Your Majesty.

Commander Shang.

No need to stand on ceremony.

I know what happened

in the Imperial Study.

Your Majesty, please help us.

There's nothing I can do now.

Since the grand councilor

used incense to relieve His Majesty's headache,

he's been the only one His Majesty trusts.

But recently,

His Majesty's condition has deteriorated.

He's been asleep all the time.

This is unusual.

He's been asleep all the time?

Your Majesty, do you suspect

the incense is poisonous?

Yes.

But Pei Linfu

has His Majesty's token.

Seeing the token

is like seeing His Majesty.

Commander Shang.

You must find a way.

Forgive me for asking.

If I have a way to save His Majesty,

will you cooperate?

Of course.

Did you k*ll

Yan Jinglun and Yan Biqing?

Yes.

They sold Zornia without permission.

They should be ex*cuted according to the law.

What?

You think I shouldn't have

k*lled them?

Don't you think what you said

is ridiculous?

Li Jun.

Lu Dingzhao.

Yan Jinglun and Yan Biqing.

These people

were just your pawns.

You are the mastermind

behind the Zornia case.

Lu Dingzhao

was not ruthless enough.

He was willing to k*ll himself

to save his grandson.

Yan Jinglun

was weak and incompetent.

He couldn't even

control Bai Yuan.

As for your father

My father

was also k*lled by you?

He

didn't know how to evaluate the situation

and asked for trouble.

Anyway,

these three people

signed their own death warrants.

You sold Zornia without permission

and caused the deaths of so many innocent people!

What?

You

want to k*ll me?

Jiang Xinbai.

You

are weak now.

What can you do to me?

However, the lives of the Jiang family

and Yan Nanxing

are all

in my hands.

It's super easy for me

to k*ll you.

Now,

I'm giving you a chance.

I've been working on the elixir of life for years,

but I haven't succeeded.

Maybe

I can find the answer

in Yan Nanxing.

If you tell me how Yan Nanxing

shapeshifts,

I can consider

letting you two

die quickly together.

Otherwise,

I'll make you wish you were dead.

Pei Linfu.

If you want to know,

I can tell you

everything.

But

I want to see Yan Nanxing first.

Fine.

Very well!

How dare you bargain with me?

Jiang Xinbai.

I'll give you one day to think

about whether

to tell me.

If you don't,

your family members

will die in front of you

one by one.

I want to see

how many people will die

before you tell me what I want to know.

♫ Same dream and person in front of me ♫

♫ Abrupt ending on the cusp of fruition ♫

♫ I'm left behind ♫

♫ No traces of you ♫

♫ Where are you? ♫

♫ I can't find you amidst my yearning ♫

♫ Missing you day and night ♫

♫ My heart has become cold ♫

[Guangyu Hall]

The grand councilor?

How could it be him?

I'll confront him face-to-face.

Let me see how hypocritical he is.

Zhiyi.

Mother.

Calm down.

If you make a scene at this moment,

it'll make things worse.

Besides, Grandfather is still sick.

We can't put him under any stress.

But Xinbai

Zhiyi.

We need to take our time to think of a plan.

Xinbai is still in the Imperial Prison.

We can't

act rashly.

Yes.

Xinbai is still in the Imperial Prison.

We can break into the palace

and save His Majesty.

Let's go.

Let's go!

[Good Fortune and Harmony]

Stop.

Open your eyes

and see who I am.

Ms. Bai.

How dare you be rude to me?

I'll ask the grand councilor to k*ll you.

I dare not.

Ms. Bai,

please.

Bai Yuchen.

What do you want?

What do you want?

You

I'm here to replace you.

Go to the palace after you leave here.

Duchess Suoluo will be waiting for you at the palace gate.

What?

Your Highness.

Don't break into the palace.

The Duchess of Yuejing can cure

His Majesty's Zornia poisoning.

Nanxing?

But where is she?

Pei Linfu

caught her

and locked her in a secret room.

How did you know?

Your Highness.

It was all my fault.

I shouldn't have trusted Pei Linfu.

I thought I could protect the Jiang family

if I turned to his side.

I didn't expect he'd use me

to harm the duke and his wife.

Although you did something wrong,

you realized your mistake and decided to make up for it.

That means you're still loyal

to the Jiang family.

Your Highness.

I'm here today

because I've thought of a way.

I'm going to the secret room

to swap the duchess out.

No.

Your Highness, listen to me.

The grand councilor only knows

the duchess can shapeshift,

but he doesn't know how she does it.

So,

by telling him the duchess has shapeshifted into me,

I can buy us time.

No. It's too dangerous.

I made the Jiang family

and you suffer.

I must make up

for my mistake.

Yuchen.

Your Highness.

Trust me.

I'm sure I can do it.

Yuchen.

Pei Linfu used you to divide the Jiang family.

It's good that you realized your mistake.

Your Highness,

I'm also a member of the Jiang family.

Suoluo.

After Ms. Bai swaps Yan Nanxing out,

take her to the palace

to meet the Empress.

She has promised

to find a way to let us see His Majesty.

Okay.

His Majesty is poisoned with Zornia?

Yes.

Only you can cure

His Majesty's Zornia poisoning.

Let's exchange our clothes.

What will happen to you

if Pei Linfu finds out?

No.

You'll be in danger!

You must get out.

Yan Nanxing,

I'm not doing this for you

but for His Majesty's life.

Only when His Majesty is fine

will the Jiang family be safe

and the whole country be safe.

Ms. Bai.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Go. There's not much time left.

This is our only chance.

Only in this way can we save Jiang Xinbai.

Please

take care of the princess in the future.

Bieli.

We can't put all our hopes

on Nanxing.

We must do whatever it takes

to get Xinbai out.

This is what I think.

But both of us

have been dismissed.

How can we enter the palace?

We can barge in.

Stop!
