Her Majesty keeps trying to kill me!

I'm just doing her a favor!

And lessening your worries!

What happened between you and her?

She hit your maids, not you!

Do you need to be so riled up?

Father,

maids are human too.

They have parents as well.

Parents who love them.

Though her mother passed away,
her father is still alive.

Her father will be so heartbroken...

if he hears she was beaten up!

Ziwei!

Hold up your head, Ziwei!

Let Father have a look at your face.

Greetings from Ziwei, your humble
maidservant, to Your Majesty.

You're Zi...

What's your name again?

Your humble maidservant's
name is Ziwei.

Your humble servant was born
when the myrtle flowers bloomed.

Hence, the name.

Good, a name easy to remember.

Let them apply some medicine on you.

Your Majesty's words...

are medicine enough.

Thank you for your grace,
Your Majesty.

Troubles are inevitable
with so many rules in the palace.

The Empress has bad temper.

You'll just have to bear
with the little pain she caused.

You'll have to calm the Princess,

not add fuel to fire.

Understand?

Yes, Your Majesty.

It's a blessing to receive
a lesson from Her Majesty.

I won't bear grudges and grievances.

Everything happened only
because of Her Highness's love for us.

Forgive your humble servant!

Your humble servant
shall persuade Her Highness...

to not go against
Her Majesty in the future.

A good girl with a bright mind.

No wonder the Princess adores you so.

Rise.

All right. It's all in the past now.

So, stop your tantrums.

You should be sensible...

if the Empress comes to pick a fight.

A nice temper and a sweet mouth
might end strain in cordiality.

How can a smart girl
like you not know that?

Father, you shouldn't be so cruel.

How can "strength"
turn into "cordial syrup"?

I'm unlucky whenever
I meet Her Majesty.

I always end up injured!

If I turn "strength"
into "cordial syrup",

I'll be dead!

Yongqi!

Since you're always with Xiao Yanzi,

let me ask you something.

Does she always speak without sense?

Whatever I say always
comes out different in her words.

Yet she always has a good retort.

I can't tell if she's pretending.

Is she like this with you too?

Replying to Father,

we accommodate to Xiao Yanzi...

whenever we speak to her.

No wonder.

Then who taught her to say,

"A warrior will suffer death,
but not humiliation?"

She doesn't speak like that.

Tell me the truth!

Your wise Majesty!

Nothing goes unnoticed by you.

Good.

You've angered the Empress
and fought with her men.

Then to cover it up,

you lured me here
to watch Xiao Yanzi's acting.

Am I right?

Please calm down, Father.

If we don't complain to you,

Mother will go to you
and exaggerate the situation.

We had no other choice
but to come forth.

Your Majesty!

It was all my idea.

Please don't blame Prince Yongqi.

Your wise Majesty!

It was all my idea.

It had nothing to do
with Prince Yongqi and Erkang.

No, Father!

They were trying to protect me!

I'm certainly the one who came up
with these bad ideas!

I should answer to my actions.

They shouldn't shoulder the burden!

All of you conspired together
to put up an act for me.

Such boldness, such audacity,

to lie to me, the Emperor.

Aren't you afraid
that I'll behead all of you?

But you've acted so naturally...

with such effort.

Perhaps...

you're all out of options.

Fine!

For the two injured maids,

I'll turn my "strength"
into "cordial".

I'll spare you this time.

But...

there'll be no next time.

Long live Your Majesty!

I'll not spare you
from punishment just because...

you shouted "long live" at me.

It's unruly of you
to pretend to hang yourself...

and making others play along.

It's clear that you've
not learned a thing...

besides coming up with bad ideas.

Why bother study at all!

I punish you to copy "The Chapter
of Great Harmony" for 100 times.

I want it submitted in 3 days.

On top of that,
you'll have to explain it to me.

Failing to do so,

shall result in 20 strokes of caning.

I stand by my words.

But Father,
didn't you say to spare us?
