Episode 4 recap: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw through Tsukimi's scheme.
Early the next day, His Majesty summoned the Crown Prince to the palace. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tsukimi went to find the Second Prince. The Second Prince was still disheveled at the time and claimed that he had just consummated his marriage with the Crown Prince the previous night. Tsukimi came to see him today, hoping to kiss him, but she drew a dagger from her waist to keep a distance between them. Tsukimi had come to discuss cooperation this time. As long as he could help her kill the Crown Prince, she would help the Second Prince escape from the cold palace.
The Second Prince mentioned that his older brother was not easy to deal with. Tsukimi didn't want to waste time with him, so she left directly. When the Crown Prince returned, he saw Tsukimi sitting barefoot on a swing. Tsukimi's appearance was particularly enticing, and the Crown Prince knew that it was her little trick. He played along and wanted to see what tricks Tsukimi had up her sleeve.
Tsukimi prepared a bowl of medicinal soup and asked the Crown Prince to drink it. Naturally, the Crown Prince wouldn't fall for it easily. He first drank it willingly and then fed it to Tsukimi by kissing her, leaving her no chance to resist. The soup was originally poisonous, so Tsukimi quickly found an excuse to leave. As soon as she left, the Crown Prince spat out the soup. Tsukimi used her internal energy to force the poison out of her body.
Dubi had already investigated that the so-called Crown Prince's consort was Tsukimi, and Momiji still had another skilled person named Guqing. However, few people had seen his true appearance. At night, Tsukimi went to find the Second Prince again, and looking at his face reminded her of the Crown Prince. Tsukimi deliberately said that the Second Prince was more interesting than the Crown Prince, and the two of them drank and enjoyed themselves in the pavilion.
The reason why the Second Prince was arranged in the cold palace was because he had naturally different-colored eyes, which his father regarded as a bad omen. On the other hand, the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, could enjoy wealth and prosperity while he was confined to a place without sunlight. Tsukimi wanted to see if the Second Prince was actually the Crown Prince in disguise because her aunt had told her that there was indeed a potion that could change eye color. She planned to wait for two hours to see the result.
