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.

Just as everybody is surprised to learn the identity of the suspect, SANSHU testifies and helps clear the name of the suspect.

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.

TAIPING fervently opposes WANG ZHEN’s proposal of demolishing the Huixin Courtyard named by the late Emperor GAOZONG

After learning that SANSHU hastily demolished the Huixin Courtyard, TAIPING becomes so enraged that she wants to punish him. LONGJI arrives in time to help him out of trouble.

WANG ZHEN goes to the Imperial Household Bureau to visit QIONGXIANG in private, asking her to help check the record of palace maid WU CUIYING.

TAIPING goes to visit the person who took the blame for her in jail but gets a cold shoulder.

After learning about the attempted assassination on her elder brother LI DAN, TAIPING wastes no time rushing there to make an audience with him and comfort him

Facing TAIPING’s accusation, the suspect has no way to deny it, fortunately, quick-witted LONGJI manages to help the suspect out of trouble.

TAIPING pleas for the Emperor’s approval of allowing her to leave the palace, to which LI DAN decrees his approval.

After BIYUN and XIANGSI are attacked, SANSHU and HE LI go specifically to the Imperial Household Bureau to investigate.

With WANG ZHEN falling into the clutches of the criminal, YUAN YUE risks her own life to protect her.

Arranged by YUAN YUE, LONGJI and WANG ZHEN are finally open and honest with each other.

LONGJI is suspected of poisoning TAIPING, so CHENGQI, SANSHU and HE LI make every effort to help him.

WANG ZHEN eventually uncovers the conspiracy and helps clear LONGJI’s name.

With YUAN YUE depressed over things regarding YIN ROU, HE LI not only appears to be very attentive but also shares his own story with her.

CUNXI offers a gold tree as congratulations to LONGJI on his ascension to the throne, successfully winning favor from LI DAN and the others.

SANSHU re-encounters CUNXI in the palace, so they catch up with each other.
