Speak louder!

I'll talk...

I say Nanny Rong,

you're pitiful.

What do you mean?

For some people, their hearts
stay noble, despite being servants.

That's not pitiful.

Some servants,

become servants through and through.

That's really pitiful.

You!

- Ziwei!
- Ziwei...

- Your Highness.
- Ziwei!

- Ziwei hasn't returned yet.
- Yes.

We've been cheated!

Ziwei must still be with Her Majesty!

Oh no!

Her Majesty won't
hand her over just like that.

What should we do?

Don't panic!
Let's search for her separately.

Xiao Shunzi and Xiao Guizi,
you search Prince Yongqi's chamber.

Mingyue and Caixia,
you search Consort Ling's chamber.

Xiao Dengzi and Xiao Zhuozi,
you search the Imperial Garden.

We will search Studio
of Cleansing Fragrance,

thoroughly once more.

Ziwei!

Ziwei!

Miss.

Miss.

Ziwei!

What should we do?

"Studio of Cleansing Fragrance"

Anything?

Stop searching.

If Ziwei was back,

she'd know we were worrying.

She's a thoughtful person,
she won't disappear for no reason.

She's definitely still
at Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

I should've followed her.

I chased after them,
and shouted after to follow them,

but the eunuchs held me back
and stopped me.

I should've just ignored them,
and followed them!

If you did, we'd have
another person missing.

It won't help Ziwei at all.

Luckily, you didn't follow.

When Father beckoned me,

I should've just brought Ziwei along.

Why did I let her stay at
Studio of Cleansing Fragrance?

Erkang, just kill me!

I've lost Ziwei!

Calm down, be brave.

Let's analyze.

What could Mother do to Ziwei?

This is so weird.

Mother is the Empress,

why is she being so hard on a maid?

I'm going to Palace of
Earthly Tranquility again.

I'm going too!

Me too!

All right.

Let's analyze the situation first.

Let's not panic.

We've just returned from
Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

Her Majesty said
Ziwei wasn't at her place.

If you all go there now,
the outcome will be the same.

Since Her Majesty
insisted Ziwei wasn't there,

she'll refuse to answer,
irregardless of what you ask.

We don't have evidence
to prove that Ziwei's there.

Yes, Ertai is correct.

Going there now,

will only bring disappointment.

We'll still be at wits end.

What else can we do?

Mistress is delicate,
she won't stand torment.

I have a very bad feeling.

Her Majesty and Nanny Rong,

they're fierce.

They probably wanted a target
to vent out their anger.

Previously at Imperial Garden,

we slapped Nanny Rong.

She's now having revenge.

I'm telling Father!

I'll let him decide!

Don't act hastily.
Let's talk it through first.

When you finish talking,
Ziwei will already be dead!

Do you think Father
would question Mother...

for a measly maidservant?

Let's say if he does,

Her Majesty can still deny
holding anyone hostage.

What can Father do about it?

If you want Father to help,
you'll need evidence.

To prove that Ziwei is held hostage
at Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

Otherwise, not only
won't we save Ziwei,

it may force Her Majesty
to wipe her from existence.

Wipe her from existence?

According to your analysis,

Ziwei will definitely die!

Everybody listen.

It's dark now,

let's wait for another hour.

When it's completely dark,

I'll pay a night visit to
Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

A night visit?

Yes.

I agree to what Prince
Yongqi had analyzed.

But, I'm so distraught now,

I don't care to think straight.

If I keep on waiting,
I'll lose my mind.

I must take action.

I need to know...

if Ziwei is really there!

Deep down, we all know
she has to be there!

We just don't know
which room she's in.

Luckily, it isn't too big.

I can search one by one.

Once we're sure that Ziwei is there,

Xiao Yanzi,

can then reasonably meet His Majesty.
