1. "I'm sorry,"
2. "But it looks like they've already left!"

2. Muttering to oneself
1. Five days later, martial field
1. "Again."
1. "Once more."
2. "It's not enough..."
1. "This is still not enough!"
1. "No more, if this keeps up, the grand commander will break me."
1. "I've burned out too, the grand commander is too rough."
3. Finally reached great accomplishment stage.
4. I never studied this seriously back in school.
1. "Time's almost up."

3. Hide in the water, wait to ambush.
1. Set a trap, capture
2. Current available rollbacks: 2
1. "I'm ready."
1. Time left until the heaven-sacrifice ceremony: 2 hours.
1. The heaven-sacrifice ceremony, held once every four years, set at lingquan mountain, land of great feng's rise.
1. At that time, successive rulers must bathe in lingyuan hall and ascend the great feng altar to burn incense.
1. By ancestral custom, while the ruler bathes, no one may be present.
1. "What kind of broken ancestral custom is this? This is like delivering the empress into the assassins' jaws."
1. "Damn, ning ning is definitely angry."
1. Inside lingyuan hall
1. "It's just like the bedchamber."
1. Come to think of it, I've been avoiding ning ning these past few days.
1. Why am I doing this?
1. "Can you tell me why you believe in the empress?"
2. "Is it that"
1. Is it that I don't trust ning ning?
2. "I..."
1. "No."
1. "It's that I don't trust myself."
1. "Clearly gu ning has already saved me, yet I still betray her trust, this is my fault."
1. "It's decided, when I see ning ning next, I'll properly apologize!"
1. "What's this?! Ah!!"
1. "Your majesty! Are you alright?!"
1. "And you admit it!"
1. "Ning ning..."
1. "Please calm your anger, your majesty, listen to your servant explain!!"
1. "Lingyuan hall unguarded is too dangerous for your majesty, that's why I defied ancestral custom!"
2. "Your majesty..."
1. Gu Ning chooses— Hide in the water, wait to ambush
1. "Then my safety rests on you."
1. "Yes, your majesty."
1. They said I must bathe...
1. "But how am I supposed to bathe...!"
2. "Ning ning is lurking underwater..."
1. "Won't my lower half be seen completely exposed?!"
1. "What's this?"
1. "Refraction never lies... This little periscope"
1. "Little periscope is just perfect."
2. "Let's see how the view is."
1. "Why's it all white? I can only see a small triangular area..."
1. "Your majesty? Just now, was that your majesty's...?"
1. "As expected, your majesty gets it, this view is perfect."
2. "Let me check the surroundings."
1. "Wait, that's...!"
1. "THAT ASSASSIN INSTA-KILLED ME?!"
2. Player death detected, auto-rollback initiated.
1. "Beginner period? Why the hell didn't you tell me about the beginner period earlier?!"
2. "Haha"
1. "Haha..."
