Zhenxi overhears Yixian<br />

and Huilan’s conversation.<br />

Shaoyuan is unable to<br />

sit in the office and face<br />

her half-brother, Xixian. She<br />

cannot understand why<br />

Huilan did not acknowledge<br />

her. Yixian says Huilan is<br />

using Shaoyuan to drive<br />

a wedge between her and<br />

Zhenxi so that she can be<br />

the chairman.<br />

Huilan arranges for<br />

Shaoyuan and Zhenxi to<br />

go to the farm again.<br />

Shaoyuan refuses, saying<br />

she is not going to be<br />

used by her again. She<br />

insists she is going to stop<br />

Huilan from becoming the<br />

next chairman.<br />

Zhenxi’s parents hope<br />

their company can merge<br />

marriage to Mingxi.<br />

Chairman Cui consents,<br />

despite Yixian’s objections.<br />

she knows Huilan is her<br />

birth mother and cannot<br />

her mother. She will not<br />

DAYS<br />

Zhenshu tries to persuade<br />

her to tell Zhenxi.<br />

MON JUNE 5<br />

10pm Episode 3<br />

Queen Liu is bent on<br />

eliminating the Crown<br />

Prince, so that Wang Yao<br />

can ascend the throne.<br />

She decides to execute her<br />

plan during the ceremonial<br />

ritual.<br />

The ceremonial ritual<br />

commences. Wearing<br />

costumes and masks,<br />

the princes perform the<br />

ritual sword dance. Some<br />

demon-masked men join<br />

in the performance and<br />

unexpectedly attack the<br />

Crown Prince.<br />

Sensing something<br />

amiss, the princes defend<br />

the Crown Prince. The<br />

assassins flee. When the<br />

Crown Prince removes his<br />

mask, everyone realises<br />

he is, in fact, Wang Zhao.<br />

Although his arm has a<br />

slash wound, he goes after<br />

the assassins.<br />

Out of curiosity, Xie Shu<br />

follows Wang Zhao into<br />

the woods. Wang Zhao<br />

catches up with one of the<br />

assassins and engages in a<br />

fight.<br />

Meantime, Xie Shu<br />

wanders into a different<br />

area of the woods. She<br />

chances upon Wang Yao<br />

ordering his guards to kill<br />

the assassins who failed in<br />

their mission.<br />

The last assassin is<br />

killed by Wang Xu. With<br />

that, Wang Zhao loses<br />

his last lead to the plot’s<br />

mastermind. If he is unable<br />

to pin-point the mastermind,<br />

he won’t be able to remain<br />

in the capital.<br />

Queen Liu fumes at<br />

the failed assassination<br />

attempt. She is baffled<br />

by Wang Zhao’s knowledge<br />

of martial arts. She<br />

suspects Astronomer Cui<br />

Zhimeng has had a hand<br />

in this, and possibly a<br />

hidden connection to Wang<br />

Zhao.<br />

Mingyi feels uneasy<br />

when she discovers<br />

her husband, Wang Xu,<br />

unconsciously displaying<br />

a special affection for Xie<br />

Shu.<br />

Wang Zhao forces Xie<br />

Shu to relate everything<br />

she saw in the woods.<br />

Xie Shu remembers the<br />

assassins’ leader was<br />

wearing fur. Instantly,<br />

Wang Zhao recalls that<br />

Wang Yao had worn fur<br />

during the ceremonial<br />

ritual. Wang Xu comes to<br />

the same conclusion as he<br />

does.<br />

Wang Zhao orders Xie<br />

Shu to forget what she saw<br />

in the woods, for her own<br />

safety.<br />

TUE JUNE 6<br />

10pm Episode 4<br />

The Crown Prince and<br />

Wang Zhao examine the<br />

assassins’ corpses. They<br />

find that all their tongues<br />

have been cut out. The<br />

practice is reserved for<br />

renounced monks, whose<br />

tongues are sliced off for<br />

their sin. Queen Liu has<br />

donated temples to house<br />

renounced monks.<br />

Wang Xu helps to dress<br />

Xie Shu’s neck wound. She<br />

notes the emergence of a<br />

strange sensation within<br />

her.<br />

Wang Zhao arrives at the<br />

run-down temple before the<br />

Crown Prince does. He kills<br />

all the monks present, and<br />

sets the temple ablaze to<br />

protect his mother, Queen<br />

Liu.<br />

Stained with blood, Wang<br />

Zhao staggers into Queen<br />

Liu’s room. He tells her<br />

that he has erased all the<br />

traces of her wrongdoing.
