I managed to stump even Master Ji.

Apart from the clothes
we're wearing now,

the rest have been washed and packed.

Okay. We'll wash them once
we return to the compound.

Let's go.

We need to give our thanks
to Lord Fu and say goodbye.

Where are you going?

We're heading to the hall to see
Lord Fu, Lady Fu and you brothers.

My father went to
visit my sixth uncle.

He hasn't returned.

Ertai went to the palace.
He's not home too.

Is something the matter?

You can tell me.

I'd like to thank everyone.

We've been under your care...

and caused you worry.

Now that things have quieted down,

I think, it's about time we left.

I've washed all the clothes
Madam Fu lent me...

and left them on the bed.

Why are you leaving so soon?

Have we done anything to trouble you?

Oh, no, not at all.

On the contrary,
you've given us great hospitality.

I felt bad for causing
you anymore inconvenience.

It is also time I returned
to where I belong.

What do you mean by,
"where you belong"?

Are you referring to the compound?

Or the palace?

Or your ancestral home in Jinan?

Where is it, that you belong?
Can you please clarify?

Right.

Such vast land is earth,

yet there's no place that I belong.

But I do know of the places...

that I don't belong.

Then...

Young Master, I'll step away.

Take your time to talk to Miss Ziwei.

Okay.

Ziwei.

I'll be honest with you.

I don't intend to let you leave.

Why?

Because...

all of us,

including Prince Yongqi,

have more or less...

put you through too much.

Ultimately, we made you...

give up on reunite with your father.

Moreover, we're aware
of your noble background.

But we acted selfishly.

We kept your identity a secret...

in order to protect
those we want to protect.

Which is why, we feel
really indebted to you.

And for these debts,

we sincerely hope you'd take
this home as your own.

Please allow us to make it up to you!

I'm grateful for your kindness.

You need not feel indebted to me.

This is a path that
I chose on my own accord.

I too, have those I wish to protect.

You've all treated me
with utmost sincerity.

For that, I am forever grateful.

However,

this isn't my home.

It doesn't feel right
for me to stay here.

I wish you'd let me leave.

But still,

you may one day claim your status!

Who knows? It might turn out well!

As long as you stay here,

you'll know of the happenings
in the palace, His Majesty...

and even what Xiao Yanzi
is up to in just a jiffy!

Isn't that a good thing?

Besides,

we're in midst of
figuring out a way...

to get you into the palace
to meet with Xiao Yanzi.

I know very well...

that it's risky to
sneak into the palace.

It might put Lady Fu
and you all in danger.

After reading Xiao Yanzi's letter,

I'm no longer anxious
to meet up with her.

The fact that we're all safe...

is a great blessing in itself.

But...

But...

Don't you at least want
to meet His Majesty?

So what if I do meet him?

Saving some room for imagination...

isn't so bad after all.

So...

you're really leaving?

Yes, I am.

Forget all your
prior reasons for staying.

But what if I say,

I'd like for you to stay here with me?

What do you mean?

You're a smart person.

You should know what I mean.

Ever since that day at the parade,

when you fell at my feet...

and grabbed my shirt,

as you recited the poem,

I was already enthralled.

The whole time while
you were living here,

we saw each other day and night.

Your demeanor, character,

tenderness...

I've fallen for you.

I couldn't help it.

I shouldn't have said that
and made you feel uneasy.

You are after all of royal blood.

Now I worry what you'd think of me.
