Cult Leader, there is no one living.

Cult Leader, we searched everywhere in the village.

Still couldn't find what you were looking for.

For sure it's here. When that long thing was dying,

she even sent out the message pigeon.

Someone has sent out a message, we shouldn't stay here too long. Cult Leader, let's...

The object that I want to find is here.

Female leader, chaotic country?

That is the tombstone.

No wonder that woman spent so much effort to hide it here.

There is a rumour since the beginning of the dynasty.

She almost lost her life because of this tombstone, she must be scared.

So she set up this secret military base to hide the tombstone.

This tombstone is a meteorite from the outer space.

It's invulnerable to weapons or fire.

This is the necessary material to welcome Deity Tianheng.

So the whole village is built on the meteorite?

That's right. This place

is where Yuan Tiangang looked at the past.

It is a Fengshui Paradise.

That's why the military base is built on the meteorite.

Smash it.

Stop!

Who can touch the Linglong Lock given by the Emperor?

How dare you, evil woman! The three-day limit is up,

How dare you to interfere with the investigation? Go under arrest right away!

I will bear my own acts.

Since I already promise, if you arrest me, I won't resist.

The Astrological Bureau has nothing to do with this, what right do you have to search the treasure room?

You're really an evil woman, you articulate so well with your false arguments.

You don't give up until the end, right?

Ok, I've already checked the file in details.

There were obviously three hidden-weapon spindles at the Imperial Jade Pass.

You only gave up two. Where's the other one?

Also, the goldsmith at the Goldsmith Bureau has already told me.

Those hidden-weapon spindles were made of meteorite from the outer space.

In this world, besides the Astrological Bureau,

where else has this much of meteorite?

From this evidence, Situ Fengjian,

you are embezzling!

You colluded with the cult to kill the Crown Prince!

Whatever you've accused me for, the truth will speak for itself.

However, if you don't have the Emperor's note, and touch the treasure in the room,

even though you are investigating, you can't take the consequences.

The Emperor's note?

Ok, I'll go to the palace and ask for one today.

We, the Court of Judicial Review, always enforce the laws justly.

I don't think we can't do anything about this little Astrological Bureau.

Okay. Then I will wait for you.

We'll talk after you get the Emperor's note.

Right, what did that Zhongtian say on that day?

He would be with you during bad times. Where is he?

He has left without you.

I don't know if you are really stupid or

you are deceiving yourself?

- Guard. - Yes.

Arrest Situ Fengjian.

Yes!

Miss!

What are you doing?

I'm coming for the bad times. Arrest me.

Who told you to come here?

I won't leave you alone any more.

Such a loving relationship.

Arrest them both.

Wait. I still have a situation to address.

What tricks are you playing?

I have to hand over my tasks at the Astrological Bureau.

Ok, you dare not play games.

Gao Chen.

Godfather is at the Mount Tai to prepare for the ancestor worship.

He is getting old, please help me to take care of him.

Before the return of godfather, the key to the treasure room,

please put it in a safe place, don't give it to anyone else.

Don't worry, Associate Director, I will watch the treasure room.

Take her away.

Yes.

Let's go.

Miss. Miss!

- Xingqiu. - Miss.

Miss.

Where there is life, there is hope. If you are taken away too,

then who is going to find a solution for miss?

After the solar eclipse, I haven't seen Li Chunfeng.

Where did he go? Did he report?

Your Majesty Empress, Official Li has gone to the Mount Tai.

Saying that he had to prepare for the spring ancestor worship.

This cunning old guy.

He has run away fast.

He reported that the celestial signs signal an anomaly.

The sun represents Yang energy and the Yin energy may be too strong.

He is clearly targeting me.

Your Majesty, what's wrong?

Hurry! Order Official Li come into the palace now!

Yes.

No one must find out my secret.

Whoever finds out must die!

You shouldn't have returned. It's my fault.

We also met in jail last time.

But I was a thief at that time, and you were an official.

In a short time, we are both prisoners now.

We certainly have a fated connection with the jail.

How can you still make jokes now?

Don't worry.

Foster Father is not here. There's no one commanding the Astrological Bureau.

Chu Yuanzhi will want to torture you to get a quick confession.

If you can't endure it, just blame everything on me.

The folks at the Gold and Silver Villa are unfortunately connected to me.

I wish I knew if they have safely escaped.

Don't blame yourself. I feel lucky to be in the same jail with you.

Believe me. Regardless of any method,

I will definitely take you away from here.

Please don't. I know you have the guts

but don't bother to jailbreak.

I won't be able to claim innocence for sure.

Don't worry.

Death is upon you, what are you

still sweet talking about?

- Men. - Here.

- Take Zhongtian away. - Yes!

Chu Yuanzhi. What are you doing?

What am I doing? I'm holding a trial.

Zhongtian!

Don't worry. I'll be fine.

His Majesty has decreed that early tomorrow,

I am to send men to investigate the Astrological Bureau.

We will dig deep*. I'm certain that we will find proof of guilt.

Come. This way.

Please.

Official Li, the Empress is right in front.

I won't walk you there.

You can remain here.

Your Majesty.

The garrison troops have been uncovered.

It's unusual to see a messenger pigeon.

Send men to investigate. We cannot leave any informants.

Who had the audacity to investigate the garrison troops?

We can't allow anyone to leak.

I understand. I will definitely take care of this matter in secret.

We'd better not use official agents. I recommend getting help from Jianghu.

You handle it personally.

You must be careful. Leave no survivors.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

But of the people who knew what happened then, apart from me,

State Advisor Li Chunfeng is the only one left.

Who could be leaking information? Who could be looking into this?

Could it be Gongsun Changqing and Chu Hande's remaining comrades?

Gongsun Changqing and Chu Hande were so powerful at that time.

But that happened so many years ago.

They have long lost the power the held back then.

However, the oldest grandson of Chu Hande, Associate Justice Chu Yuanzhi of the Court of Judicial Review,

He is currently investigating the assassination of the Crown Prince. Could it be him?

Old Li is here too. How boring.

I'll look for the Crown Prince to play with instead.

Your Highness Crown Prince, I came today to discuss

something important with you.

Teacher, what is it?

Your Highness Crown Prince receives much affection from His Majesty and Her Majesty Empress.

Your position as the crown prince is mostly secure.

Mostly?

That's right, you are missing the other part: an heir.

An heir?

That's right. If you were to have an heir,

your claim to the throne will not waver.

So the top priority right now is to choose

appropriate Crown Princess for you.

What you mean is...

I just came from meeting with His Majesty.

He wants the crown princess to be confirmed

before visiting Mount Tai for ancestral rites.

He will announce it officially to the nation at that time.

My royal parents probably have someone in mind already. Who cares what I think?

That's why, very soon,

His Majesty will command you to discuss about it.

It's more of telling you than discussing with you.

Please don't be rash when you meet him.

After all, the crown princess

will be someone they have carefully selected.

What if I say no?

I know you are a kind and pure person.

That's what I am cautioning you in advance.

Is it Pei Luoqing?

Your Highness, the crown princess can only be Pei Luoqing.

If you have someone else you like,

wait til after you have married the crown princess.

Then you can bring her into the palace

make her your concubine. Then you'll have the best of both worlds.

But, Teacher...

Is Your Highness in love with Situ Fengjian?

I will try to convince His Majesty.

That is definitely not doable.

Situ Fengjian is Li Chunfeng's adopted daughter.

Her parents are unknown. Her real identity is unknown.

His Majesty and Her Highness will definitely not allow her to be the crown princess.

But didn't Royal Father and Mother...

Your Highness, be careful.
