Your Highness, don't worry.

His Highness has only suffered a minor wound.

Nothing serious.

I think it'll heal

in a few days.

I got it.

You may take your leave now.

Does it hurt?

It hurts like hell.

It's my fault for being careless.

That day, after receiving the instructions

from you and Uncle,

I wanted to go scouting alone,

but I didn't expect to be seriously injured when I mistakenly entered

the hunting ground.

Is that so?

I missed you every day

and wanted to come back,

but I never had the chance.

Now

I can spend time with you.

Consort Qing, Prince Shi Yu,

Priest of Grand Preceptor of Jiuyi Mountain has arrived.

He said he's here to visit Prince Shi Yu.

Ying is here.

It's okay.

If you want to see him,

go ahead.

I can't stop you anyway.

However,

let me put this upfront.

You're seriously injured.

Promise me

you'll take your medicine on time.

Go to imperial physician and check it out.

If Yu's medicine is ready,

bring it to me first

before serving it to him.

Yes.

You can never imagine

that my Gu Poison

has to be met with spiritual power

before it can take effect.

Is this spiritual power?

Ying,

I don't feel any pain anymore.

How is that possible?

Really.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

Don't move.

Lie down.

You've suffered a serious injury.

You'll need some time

to recover.

Take this spiritual pearl,

it contains my spiritual power.

When you're in pain,

put the spiritual pearl in the palm of your hand,

and the spiritual power will ease the pain.

Thank you, Ying.

With this,

I really don't feel any pain.

Yu,

there are rarely any beasts in Ye City.

How can there be any hunters?

If you have a problem,

you can write to me.

Why hurt yourself?

I've been making up this lie for a long time,

but you've blown it.

I just don't want to

stay in the army anymore.

I want to come back sooner.

But...

It's not true that I was assassinated,

but it's true that I'm injured.

Please be compassionate to me, Ying.

And withdraw the army on my behalf.

If you don't agree,

then I'll have to leave it to Bai Fenglin.

Qing Gang is a man of integrity.

Why won't you entrust it to him?

After all, Ye City is the White Clan's territory.

Qing Gang is a warrior of the Azure Clan.

Bai Fenglin won't listen to him.

Ying,

withdrawal is a big deal for Kongsang.

It concerns millions of people.

Please promise me

for the sake of the people.

Why are you asking me

when you've already figured it out?

I promise you.

Consort Qing has arrived.

Be careful.

Priest of Grand Preceptor, so you're here too.

It so happens

that I've asked imperial physician

to decoct some medicine for Yu.

Priest of Grand Preceptor, please help him to drink it.

Ying,

I'm better now.

I can drink it myself.

No way!

Don't touch it!

The medicine bowl is poisoned.

Mother,

could it be you?

Shut up.

Mother,

do you think I'm three years old?

Yu,

I have offended a lot of people in the palace

by entering the palace without a clue some time ago.

It's possible that some of them

have a grudge against me

and want to harm me.

Speak.

Who is trying to harm Yu?

You won't speak, will you?

Aren't you afraid

I'll punish you with nine familial exterminations?

Yu.

Ying,

don't try to comfort me anymore.

Young Lady,

you've been sitting here

all night with a glum face

since you got back.

Yufei,

you've come just in time.

I've got a lot to tell you.

Come on.

Sit down.

I really can't figure out

why Master gave up his priesthood.

Priest of Grand Preceptor is definitely going to

rejoin the mundane world

and resume his position as the Crown Prince.

Young Lady, don't you know

the rumor has already spread widely?

They say

that Prince Shi Yu is too gentle

to protect Kongsang,

while Priest of Grand Preceptor is decisive

and always puts the people's well-being first.

He is the best person for the Crown Prince.

Nonsense.

My master doesn't care about that.

I believe Priest of Grand Preceptor

won't want to fight for power for himself.

But

he's a man who's willing to compromise himself

for the sake of the people.

Now that

the war between Kongsang and Merfolk is over.

It's not far from the day when the people

will live and work in peace.

It's not that simple.

Even if there's no marine force,

there's still the Ice Clan.

Maybe they'll come back

to attack us again.

Everyone's worried about this.

And didn't you just say

that Priest of Grand Preceptor read the congratulatory wedding scroll today?

I don't think

it's because he doesn't want to

lose face in front of you.

He must be

planning for the future.

After all, every emperor of Kongsang

has to marry a woman of the White Clan.

Stop the nonsense.

The more you talk, the more ridiculous it gets.

I was told to pass this to you.

It's from Xueying.

(Yan, I have something to tell you. Let's meet at the Yulu Teahouse at noon.)

This is where the most important commands of Kongsang

are sent.

Ying,

you're finally back here.

Your Supreme Majesty,

I'm entrusted with the task by Yu.

Although Yu's injury is not serious,

he needs some time to recuperate.

But the withdrawal of the army

is imminent

and we can't wait any longer

so I have to take care of this matter for the time being.

You're the best man for the task.

Although Qing Gang and Bai Fenglin

are the top generals

in their clans,

they don't get along.

If the withdrawal of the army is entrusted to them,
