That's not my only concern.

There's also Xia Ziwei
who's under your roof.

Xiao Yanzi is playing with fire.

She's in enough trouble as it is,

yet she remains so oblivious.

I'm worried for her sake.

One wrong move,

and she might end up in pieces.

Don't make it sound so bad.

Perhaps, we could convince Ziwei
to hold this secret to her grave.

Let bygones be bygones.

Is that possible?

It's not impossible.

Xia Ziwei is dignified and gentle.

And appears to be
unmoved by worldly matters.

Don't exaggerate.

If she really was unmoved,

she wouldn't have come
so far to see Father.

I'm being serious.

Don't let your affections
for Xiao Yanzi...

put out your faith for Ziwei.

Don't forget, Ziwei
is your rightful sister.

And I can't wait
to meet this sister of mine.

"Grand Secretary Manor"

Greetings from Xia Ziwei,
Your Highness.

My name is Yongqi.

As you probably know,
our generation is represented...

by the character "Yong".

Age-wise, I am older than you.

So I'm considered your fifth brother.

I've ordered all servants
to leave the premise.

Only Jinsuo remains.

Miss Xia, feel free to
speak with Prince Yongqi.

You said "fifth brother".

I know they're nothing but two words.

But to me, it carries a hefty weight.

I came all the way from Jinan.

I spent half a year traveling.

And struggled a few months in Beijing.

I did all I could and was faced
with countless obstacles.

You're the first family member
that I'm able to meet.

I have no words to describe
just how thrilled I am now.

Even though I failed to be
acknowledged by His Majesty,

I'm still grateful to God,

knowing that you've accepted me.

Who would've thought,
that within the palace,

I'd have a new sister like Xiao Yanzi.

While beyond the palace,
I'd have another sister like you.

Ertai and I were talking about
the two of you on our way here.

You believe me?

Aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?

Do you not think that Xiao Yanzi
is the rightful princess,

while I may be an imposer?

We couldn't be more convinced.

Because Xiao Yanzi
has confessed everything...

to Prince Yongqi and Ertai.

She confessed?

She admitted?

Yes, she said she had no choice.

There were too much complications
and misunderstandings,

which led to the current situation.

She cried and said
she had let you down.

Such a grave matter!

She expects to write it off
with just an apology?

For now,

whatever we tell you
will not mean anything.

You'll only untangle the knots...

when you speak to
Xiao Yanzi in person.

I had a talk with Ertai.

A lot has happened to
Xiao Yanzi in the palace.

She's in a tight spot.

We're not even sure
if she can leave the palace.

But we'll do our best to arrange it.

Right?

Yes, I'll find a way.

Xiao Yanzi has been pleading me
to take her to meet you.

Did you know?

She jumped over walls at night
just to try and reach you.

She nearly got killed by the guards
who mistook her as an assassin.

She was carrying a lot
of money and jewelry,

so she could give them to you.

Really?

Yes.

Ziwei.

Can I ask you for a favor?

There's no need to be
courteous, Prince Yongqi.

Please tell me what you need.

Please don't harm Xiao Yanzi.

No matter how things
may look right now,

I trust Xiao Yanzi has her reasons.

It's a matter of life and death.

I urge you to think before acting.

Miss.

You can't let yourself be moved
by Prince Yongqi's words.

There are things you can give up,

and there are those that you can't.

Xiao Yanzi took your status,

and your father!

She's pushed this way too far!

You can't live your life
in the shadows just for her!

If you don't harm her,

she will harm you!
