[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 killed him?
Yan Biqing.
Then, we should kill 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 Gang?
I took him to the Jinwu Guards' prison
in case Yan Jinglun took him to the Ministry of Justice
and killed 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 kill 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 killed Bai Yuan.
Nonsense!
I've dealt with you
in Tingzhou.
As you saw,
although Yi Yuanshan had committed a serious crime,
I didn't kill him.
Instead, I brought him back to the capital for trial.
My attitude towards Bai Yuan
was the same.
I wouldn't kill 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 executed.
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 bastard!
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 kill
Yan Jinglun and Yan Biqing?
Yes.
They sold Zornia without permission.
They should be executed according to the law.
What?
You think I shouldn't have
killed 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 kill 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 killed 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 kill 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 kill 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♫
♫It doesn't matter♫
♫I'm willing to give all I have♫
♫It'll never end♫
♫Missing you left and right♫
♫Our past is eternal♫
♫All my time♫
♫Is for you♫

[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 kill 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!
