The Sleepless Princess Episode 5

CY told TY that XY heard her complain to Su Mo about his crimes, so fearing her life she needs to escape. However the ankle bell is made of steel and removing it to escape is impossible. CY remember this was a hoe in the garden and so went there and instead saw what they thought was a vampire holding a human head. They shut their eyes and held their breath (a traditional belief to prevent from being spotted by Chinese vampires). XY appeared behind them after they opened their eyes. CY then saw plants instead of ghosts she initially thought. She mocked XY for ignoring CC in the morning and now planting the flowers she gave. XY explained that people are people, flowers are flowers, must be treated differently. XY then playfully snipped the plants to the horror of XY who named the plants parts arms, thighs and head. There CY understood that she has misunderstood XY for killing and burying body parts. However she was still going about her snipping and XY pulled her - they shared a romantic moment. Awkwardness sets in and they separate. XY offers his hand which CY took while going back as she thought that she is leaving him soon so no harm. CY and TY packed their luggage to leave, and at this moment XY barged in with men knowing that CY has sent out a secret letter to the Emperor. He suspected he was to be betrayed and wanted to torture her in the dungeon into revealing who is the instigator. TY went to find XC for help. CY warned that the whole clan will be executed if they kill a princess; XY accused her of being a spy and regretted trusting her. He softened a bit after CY insisted she didn’t write anything to harm him. XC came at this moment and in the confrontation the eunuch took XY aside to show him the contents of the letter – nothing to harm him but rather saying that she is unhappy and wants the marriage annulled. The Emperor thought of this as a couple’s dispute and expects them to make up. XC wanted to take CY away but CY chose to stay in order not to go against the emperor’s wishes. XY is puzzled why she chose to stay but his impression of her improved and ask for silk (belonging to his aunt) to be given to CY. We learnt that the aunt gone to a temple to avoid the wedding that she opposes.
