Deep in the Realm of Conscience

During the reign of Emperor Shang of Tang, PRINCE OF PING, LI LONGJI joins forces with PRINCESS TAIPING to successfully eliminate EMPRESS WEI.

In the wake of murder in the palace, Taiping implies that Longji is the mastermind behind this. To clear his name, Longji pleads with Li Dan for an edict to take command of the Longwu Guards for a thorough investigation.

Just as everybody is surprised to learn the identity of the suspect, Sanshu testifies and helps clear the name of the suspect. Si-yuan, who is detained in the Yeting Palace, requests an audience with Able Consort, accusing Qiongxiang of murder with motive.

HE LI sends severely injured YUAN YUE to Imperial Medical Bureau, but physician QI refuses to use premium balm to treat her, so HE LI draws his sword to threaten him.

Seeing the lovey-dovey couple Longji and Wang Zhen, Sanshu who is on duty can't help reminiscing about the time he spent with his close friend Wang Zhen. Yuan Yue is recovering, so she uses water as a symbol of wine to thank Cheng Gong.

After learning that Sanshu hastily demolished the Huixin Courtyard, Taiping becomes so enraged that she wants to punish him, fortunately, Longji arrives in time to help him out of trouble.
