bribed Master Guo to murder His Majesty.

Luckily, they failed.

The duo killed Master Guo to silence him,

then set fire to the Archives.

Lieutenant Ling

was also killed by Shen.

I have acquired Inspector

Zheng's testimony as evidence.

To prevent the duo's escape,

I took the liberty of delivering

the message

to the Ministry of Security,

and city administrators.

That they be found immediately.

Where's the girl?

I lost her.

Where's the Log?

You gave it to her?

Our lives depend on that Log!

And you gave it to her!

Colonel Lu,

assigning you to catch toads

was a waste of your talents.

It's my honor to...

The two rebels

who put themselves in such jeopardy,

tell me,

who do you think they're working for?

I think...

I think...

Remove all the Imperial Guards from

the streets immediately.

The Eastern Depot is taking over this case.

Shen, Pei.

Bei Zhai.

I want them alive.

Why did you return?

To save you,

and Captain Pei.

How?

If I give him this Log,

His Highness will spare us.

Do you know why I was sent to kill you?

It was Lu's order.

I don't know Lu.

That boyfriend of yours

is Lu's master.

The man you're guarding with your own life

wants you dead.

Are you still going to see him?

That can't be his intention.

He wouldn't kill me.

You still believe in him?

I believe in myself.

I believe that one day

we will have the freedom of speech.

In every administrative and

judicial department

in every state and prefecture.

I'm a rebel.

I have people everywhere.

Chief Prosecutor Yang

brought Master Wei's

twenty-four crimes to the Emperor.

He promised me

he would do everything he could

to kill Wei,

and wipe out his entire party.

Wei and his party

lost the people's trust long ago.

But Master Wei wasn't punished at all.

And completely destroyed the

Donglin Rebellion.

Why?

Because the Emperor favors him.

Why didn't I realize this earlier?

I'll go in your stead.

What if it's a trap?

Do you know who I am?

I think I do.

Let's hear it.

I should have guessed.

Assassinating the Emperor was

never your goal.

The goal of Your Highness

was to eliminate Wei and his party.

And the only one who can do that

is the Emperor.

His Majesty has no children.

If he died, the only successor

would be his younger brother,

Zhu Youjian, Prince Xin.

Am I correct?

Prince Xin, Your Highness.

Do you know this place?

What if Shen doesn't return in one hour?

Then we break into the Eastern Depot.

If Wei had gotten a hold of this Log,

many would have lost their heads.

What do you want?

I want to live.

One more thing Your Highness needs to know.

Lu wants Bei Zhai dead.

Nonsense.

Brother Lu has no reason to hurt her.

Your Highness,

this man is dangerous.

Get out.

We're almost out of time.

He'll be back.

Have you two slept together?

You're disgusting.

No?

Then why are you treating each

other like this?

Where is she?

Bei Zhai?

You don't even know her real name.

You dared to come see me.

Didn't you fear that I'd kill you?

I wanted to see for myself

the man she's guarding with her life.

If he's worth it.

No,

you're worried about her.

So you came in her stead.

You like her.

But does she like you?

Your Highness misunderstood.

She told me

you were supposed to kill her,

but ended up saving her.

Why?

I admire her paintings.

I understand.

Her paintings are like her person.

What a shame.

Take this tablet of the

Mansion of Prince Xin.

You can go anywhere you like.

Nobody will stop you when

they see this tablet.

However, you must kill her first.

Wei is looking everywhere for her.

I cannot risk it.

Your Highness.

Bei Zhai didn't betray you,

and never will.

I want you to betray her.

This is my blade.

I'm taking her out of the city.

If you send men after us,

I'll take them all down.

You're not going to kill me?

She'll be sad if I do.

She'll be sad if I do.

Time's up.

Your Highness.

Enough.

I'll send someone after Shen,

we can follow him to Bei Zhai.

Colonel Lu...

Your Highness,

she knows way too much.

Thousands will die if she doesn't.

Do it outside the city.

Yes, Your Highness.

Shen Lian!

He said he'd come find me, right?

Of course.

He'll come find you once it's safe.

He also said,

you should feel free to paint

whatever you like.

He doesn't like me painting.

He said that's where all troubles begin.

Thank you.

Wei Zhongxian's Mansion, Goldfish Alley

Your Excellency,

please save me.

What's bothering you, Your Highness?

This girlfriend of mine recently

disappeared.

I sent people to look for her,

and discovered that

she's one of the Donglin rebels.

She also has something to do

with Master Guo's death.

Is that so?

A Colonel Lu from the Imperial Guard

found out about this,

and came to threaten me.

Lu Wenzhao?

Yes.

Colonel Lu wanted to frame Your Excellency

by having me speak falsely

before His Majesty.

Otherwise, he'd impeach me

with this information.

Your Highness, this is no small matter.

His Majesty falling into the water

wasn't a coincidence.

Master Guo was involved.

If, by chance,

this matter isn't handled properly,

Your Highness will be in big trouble.

Your Excellency, please save me.

Your Highness,

This problem, it's not so difficult.

We just need to remove Lu from the picture,

along with the other insiders,

including your girlfriend.

From now on,

I will follow the advice

of Your Excellency on all matters.

Please do not praise me more

than I deserve.

My concern is

His Majesty is very ill.

If something happens,

who do Your Highness think would

be the successor?

This is too important of a matter.

I dare not speak a word.

Everything shall be decided by

Your Excellency.

Recently, His Majesty has been

speaking of you.

I wager Your Highness will be called

into His Majesty's chamber in the

upcoming days.

My sincerest gratitude, Your Excellency.

Shen,

they'll be expecting us to go by water.

Let's land at Liaocheng,

then take a detour east around Jinan,

and head to Yi Mountain.

That's where we can easily

evade the pursuing troops.

troops?

Sent by Prince Xin?

You lied to her.

We can find a boat at Weihai.

Once we're out at sea,

we can go anywhere we want.

Once we get to Weihai,

we part ways.

It's so hot.

Sweating will help you recover.

You made me drink

four bowls of hot water,

and made me sit next to the fire.

How can I not be hot?

I blew on the water,

how could it be hot?

Where will you go

after all this?

Hangzhou.

Hangzhou.

Good choice.

Pei?

I'm sorry.

They've entered the village.

Too many to count. I killed two.

It's Lu.

The Windstorm, variable,

sweeps up the common and the noble,

life and death are inevitable,

and doom is unavoidable.

We must leave.

Split up.

Watch out!

Die!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, you bastard.

The horses won't go on the bridge.

Without horses, they'll catch up to us.

Once you cross this bridge,

you'll be out of Yi Mountain in a day.

Pei,
