Rock paper scissors

Qi pa is getting customised dress stitched to charm kui Mulang. Whereas Hai tang the chameleon assassin, prepares to kill qi pa at her master's order.

Qi pa effortlessly manages to seduce kui Mulang/Li xiong, he is really enchanted by her impulsive antics. Qi pa enters kui mulang's chambers and prepares three cups of mixed wine, she offers them to him:

1st cup "please let me go"
2nd cup "focus on your career instead of marriage"
3rd cup "it's good to be lonely"

To make drinking more interesting, qi pa proposes to play the game of rock-paper-scissor. Kui Mulang's keen eyes catches on to her moves and she ends up losing all rounds while a gleeful kui Mulang comments on the simplicity of the game. ?


Qi pa who is drunk after three glasses of wine, begs kui Mulang to let her go. Kui Mulang becoming serious promises her anything but that. Under the influence of alcohol, she falls by kui mulang's side who catches her in his arms. Qi pa finding herself in kui mulang's embrace reacts by stabbing him with her hairpin. Kui Mulang looks at her in disbelief as qi pa realises she overreacted so she apologies.

Kui Mulang whose internal force is getting weaker cannot tolerate even such minor injuries and fearing he might go insane, angrily orders qi pa to go back to her chambers.

Enroute qi pa gets ambushed by hai tang and cries out for help. In spite of his injuries and effect the full moon will have on him, kui Mulang rushes to her rescue. Kui Mulang staves off hai tang's attack but falls under the full moon's influence and attacks qi pa.

Later that night kui Mulang rightly infers that qi p's attempted assassination was due to his enemies. For her safety he decides to ground qi pa in the palace and protect her personally.

Next, morning Li xiong approaches qi pa. He applies medicine on qi pa's injured neck. Hu Die accuses qi pa of attempted murder of the palace cook, chun'er by pushing her in the well. Qi pa in an attempt to save chun'er's life gives her CPR to revive her. Rattled kui Mulang inquires as to what qi pa was doing.(kui Mulang is extremely possesive and gets discomfited when qi pa gets close to any other person) qi pa explains to everyone present that it was a life saving technique taught by her mother. Chun'er upon regaining consciousness accuses qi pa of pushing her in the well ( it was the chameleon assassin, hai tang who impersonated qi pa)

Note: Bai ke is a staunch supporter and admirer of qi pa... He always champions and applauds qi pa's uniqueness.

Kui Mulang tries to defend qi pa but Hu die demands qi pa be imprisoned and executed. Qi pa realising the political sensitivity of the issue, volunteers to be imprisoned while investigation is underway.

Qi pa's encounter with rats and cockroaches in the prison is hilarious. ?

Li xiong questions chun'er regarding the events and heads down to prison to meet Qi pa.

Qi pa who is losing the battle against the vermins is glad to see him and accuses him of leaving her in a lurch and disappearing. Li xiong declares that she shouldn't have requested to come to jail...she informs him that kui Mulang really tried to defend her and she understands the dilemma of a king as she has been brought up in a royal family. Kui mulang is appeased on hearing this, he acts a little smug that qi pa appreciates his position and understands him.

Qi pa and Li xiong forms a plan to catch the chameleon assassin.
