Zheng Yuan...ah no!

Ms Zheng!

don't disguise anymore

show us your true self!

why are you giving me this?

this is Shuang Sheng Zhi

I've one here myself

take it along with you

If you are in any danger, crush it!

then I'll know!

what do you mean?

today an Eunuch came and watched over you

he heard some things from Xiao Hei

I'm suspecting that Zheng Yuan's identity has been exposed

then what should I do?

I've wanted to catch him earlier,

but after consideration, I didn't do it

If I caught hold of him,

then the one who asked him to come and investigate you will know something is wrong with you

then we'll exposed ourselves very soon

do you have any good idea?

don't worry

we'll be beside you, you'll be alright

Bai-sheng, I'll do it!

Mr. Zheng!

Is the eldest prince telling the truth?

my king,

not good!

she's in trouble!

she's indeed in trouble!

and today,

will be your death sentence day!

how dare you Zheng Yuan!

do you know?

you've been lying to the king?

my king,

my father indeed is Zheng Yuan San

I...I admit that I've been lying to you

but,

I've my own reasons too

what reason you have?

tell me properly!

my king,

my father...

he's really Zheng Yuan San

since young,

my father have taught me painting

I've also been working very hard

I hope that one day I'll make my father proud!

but,

when I'm still small,

my father have been summoned by the Queen to draw a portrait of her!

when he's on the way to the palace, he was still fine

but when he came back, he has became a cold corpse!

so many years has passed,

my father has been working hard as the palace's artist!

but he's death for no reason!

so during that time, I've swear that,

one day,

I'll enter the palace to investigate my father's death!

but I'm just a weak lady

except from drawing,

I've known nothing else

that's why I'm only have to disguise as a man

to participate in this painting competition

in order to get the chance to enter the palace

I don't beg for your pardon,

I just hope that you will give me a chance

to investigate the truth about my father's death

after that, no matter what's the consequences are...

Zheng Yuan,

will bear all the consequences

you't talking nonsense here

Zheng Yuan San is a criminal and he deserve the death penalty

he killed himself with poison

that's impossible!

what wrong did my father committed?

this matter involved the dignity of the royal family

I've once forbidden anyone to talk about it

since you admitted the lying to the king crime,

and enter the palace to investigate this matter

alrights, then I'll tell you

your father Zheng Yuan San,

commited adultery with one of my concubine

and was noticed by the Queen

he drank the poison on spot

and killed himself

that's impossible!

my father can't possible have comitted such crime

there's evidence to his crime

you are not allowed to say anything about this

my king,

you meant that...

you've only listen to the Queen and not the others, there may be possibility that the evidences are all fake!

father!

It's all nonsense here

he's putting all the blame to the Queen in order to help her father

yes

the Queen has passed away a few years ago,

now you don't have any evidence

father, I'm think that...

don't listen to this lady's words

she's the type who can speak very well

she made up these stories in order to confuse everybody

she intend to misuse your kindness to get rid of all her wrong deeds

If we let her go today, she will definitely run away

guards!

my king!

father please wait!

3rd prince?

I'm back!

faster get up!

3rd brother is back

I've heard that you were injured?

It must be because of your blessings father! only superficial wounds on my hand.

before I can come back to the palace, I've heard rumors about demons appearing in the palace

and cause harm to your body, my father!

and affect your duty. Are you feeling better now father?

I'm already feeling much better

just that,

you have to visit the imperial doctors soon

or else you'll get sick and worsen by aging!

3rd prince,

don't you know?

Zheng Yuan, noo, i mean Zheng!

she lied to many people

even I'm fooled by her!

father you don't know that I've actually know Zheng for quite some time

you know her?

yes, when I'm still young, her father Zheng Yuan San taught me painting

I've known her since then

so you knew her all this long

Zheng told me before that her father, Zheng Yuan San was summoned by the Queen many years ago

but he suddenly died

when he was sent home, he was already a corpse

Zheng has been living with her mom since that and they're relying each another

she only wants to investigate about her father's death

3rd prince!

father

Zheng did all this just because of her father, there's nothing wrong with her filial piety

father!
