You must give her credit for this!

For the sake of our relationship,

please let her off this time!

You take pity on your own servant,

but why can't you do that
to Xiao Yanzi's servants?

Can't you be considerate of others?

I was wrong.

Nanny Rong, I'll let you off for now.

If you cause trouble to
Studio of Cleansing Fragrance again,

I'll make sure you die!

Thanks for your grace, Your Majesty.

You may escape the death penalty,
but you must be punished!

Sai Wei, Sai Guang,
take her out and cane her 20 times!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Ziwei, who else tortured
you other than Nanny Rong?

And why did they do that?

Your Majesty, there was no one else.

Please let this end here.

Her Majesty has the right
to punish a servant like me.

I already feel fortunate...

if Your Majesty would stop
looking into this matter.

Ziwei! Ziwei!

Ziwei, don't die!

Ziwei, it's all because of me!

If you really die,
I'll die with you, Ziwei!

Ziwei! Ziwei!

Wake up! Wake up!

Please, open your eyes!

Let me get hurt and die for you!

Wake up!

"Studio of Cleansing Fragrance"

Why exactly did she torture
a maidservant so brutally?

I don't get it!

How many time do things
like this have to happen?

I'm really disappointed.

Cui'er was forced to jump
into a well last year.

While Wu'er hanged
herself the year before.

Why won't these tragedies stop?

Erkang!

What secrets are you
and Xiao Yanzi keeping?

And why did Ziwei and
Xiao Yanzi become sworn sisters?

My mind is filled with questions!

You better explain everything!

Replying to Your Majesty,

Consort Ling knows
Ziwei's background very well.

We didn't report it to Your Majesty
as we found it was unnecessary.

Ziwei actually came
from an intellectual family.

She has a close bond
with Pearl Princess.

After Her Highness entered the palace,
she had us take care of Ziwei.

My mother and I felt that
Ziwei and Jinsuo were kind,

so she brought them home,

and recommended to Consort Ling
to take them into the Imperial Palace.

So, Ziwei and Jinsuo
stayed at your manor...

before they were taken
into the palace?

Yes, they did.

Last time, Her Highness left the
palace to visit Ziwei at my manor.

She and Xiao Yanzi are sworn sisters?

No wonder they're so close.

Even the birth sisters
couldn't be like them.

Aren't you close with Xiao Yanzi?

Replying to Your Majesty.

Her Highness grew up
among the commoners,

without the protection
of an influential family.

She's bound to
feel lonely in the palace,

but she can't go to
Your Majesty all the time.

Luckily, she studies with
Prince Yongqi and Ertai.

They eventually became close friends.

And because of
Ziwei and Consort Ling,

Fu family became like
a maternal home for her.

When she was treated
unfairly or scolded,

she'd come to talk to us.

I see.

But, why do you think
the Empress tortured Ziwei?

Even without a prestigious background,

Pearl Princess was
still favored by you.

I'm afraid this became her sin.

She's disliked because of this.

Those in the palace
are always full of schemes.

Yet Her Highness is naive.

She doesn't harm others,
but she's not vigilant too.

Let alone, the power
to protect herself.

All other chambers are
protected by skilled guards.

But Studio of Cleansing Fragrance
is easily trampled upon.

Easily trampled upon?

That's a serious accusation.

Your Majesty, you've seen it yourself.

Isn't that what happened?

Fine then.

Say, if others are jealous
of Xiao Yanzi,

why target Ziwei?

Father, it's possibly
because of the Go game.

The Go game?

Replying to Your Majesty,

the whole palace knows
you played Go with Ziwei all night.

Ridiculous!

A board game with Ziwei
brought disaster upon her?

How did the palace
become so uncivilized?

Should my fondness to someone
make them unfortunate?

Erkang, send some skillful guards...

to protect Studio of
Cleansing Fragrance.
