[The Inextricable Destiny]

[Episode 18]

If only Hongzao was here,

you could keep each other company.

This horse is quite obedient.

I'll teach you how to ride tomorrow…

Sorry.

I'm not who you wanted to see.

Why would you come if you knew
you weren't welcome?

Do you think I'm both deaf and blind,
knowing nothing at all?

I came here

to talk to you, if that's okay.

Chengbi, you're actually mute, aren't you?

Your predecessor didn't talk much,

almost like a mute.

He went home to visit his family

and never came back,

as if he never existed.

You killed Lord Song, didn't you?

Thank God.

I wished him dead.

There was a blade's mark

on Lord Song's carriage.

Not many people in the capital use blades.

As for your blade,

when you decided to use a blade,

Qingxing asked me to design it as a gift.

I've modified it so it would be more

suitable for a woman to use,
and I can recognize it.

My spy near the Regent's mansion reported

that someone broke into the mansion tonight.

He Jiuling.

It was also your men, wasn't it?

What do you want?

Arrest me like you did before?

If I wanted to do that,

I would've done it long ago.

So you're playing with me?

Do you enjoy seeing me

acting like a clown?

If so,

it wouldn't hurt to kill you.

He Jiuling, don't you get it yet?

Whatever you want to do, I can help you.

Help me?

Your family is like a watchdog
for Lord Zhongyong. Helping me?

I'm not my family,

nor am I the Regent's man.

I'm only myself.

I just want to atone for my sins.

Do it.

Why did you stop?

Do you think I'm scared?

You know it too.

Whether it's you, me, or anyone else,

at that time, none of us were capable

nor could we change the outcome,

could we?

Young Master, where are you going?

Young master, it's dark. Where are you going?

I can send someone to escort you.

No need.

No need to bother, Your Highness.

I can take care of the Young Master.

That's fine too, but it's getting late,

and there might be tigers
and wolves outside the tent.

You should be careful.

I would like to see

who wants to take my life.

Why are you out here alone
in the middle of the night?

What if something happens?

My eyes are a bit red, aren't they?

Maybe I'm just tired.

It's so late,

so let's go back and rest.

We have to go to the hunting ground tomorrow.

Tomorrow,

don't go to the hunting ground.

Did you forget?

the Emperor gave me a bow and arrows

and said he wanted to see me shoot a wild boar.

Don't go.

Okay, okay.

Do you want me to fly a kite with you?

Then I'll fly a kite with you first tomorrow,

and I'll teach you how to ride a horse.
And the day after tomorrow I'll…

Don't go the day after tomorrow either.

Rong Yu, what… what's wrong with you?

I'm not quite sure myself.

But could you just not go?

You haven't told me yet,

why are you here alone?

I'm afraid Uncle

would be angry at you if he knew

you were running around.

He's an elder.

If he's angry with me,

I won't take it to heart.

Your family is my family.

I will be good to him,

and I will work hard to get him to forgive me.

Good morning, Young Master.

Madam said,

you stayed up late watching her
before going to sleep,

so she asked me not to wake you up.

Where is she now?

She was just called over

by the young miss of the Lord's house,

who should be called Princess Xihe now.

Young master.

Mrs. Rong.

Mrs. Rong.

Why don't you play a tune?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to.

If there's nothing else,

I'll take my leave.

Wait,

as a noblewoman of a Jialin family,

not knowing even this most basic skill

is really shameful.

Our ancestor, the Emperor,
established a school for girls,

so that girls could be proficient
in poetry, music, and zither.

Mrs. Rong.

You couldn't draw before.

And now you can't play the zither.

You must be able to do something.

Poetry, song, painting, music,
and the art of the lute.

I can't do any of those things.

So if there's any related event,

don't bother inviting me.

If you can't, you can learn.

A woman's face is the face of her father
and brothers before she gets married.

And after marriage, it is the face
of her husband's family.

Playing with swords is not something
that can be presented on stage.

Do you think you will be called
onto the battlefield in the future?

Since you're staying in the capital,

in the gatherings of madams and young ladies

if you're unable to do anything,

wouldn't you look stu--

Like a fool?

Try twisting Mrs. Rong's hand a little.

She was disabled for a while
before she got married.

I don't know if she can still play the zither.

If she can, I, as a princess, will help her.

After the hunting trip,
I will arrange for her to learn

with my six or seven-year-old cousin.

Poetry, song, painting, music,
and the art of the lute

are just like swords, sticks,

spears, axes, hooks, and forks.

There is no difference in their value.

What kind of person a woman wants to become

is not up to anyone to criticize.

As for the face of the father
and husband's family,

why don't they earn it themselves

but rely on you to do it?

What are we going to do?

They started to fight immediately.

Indeed.

They didn't

have much face yesterday.

Others let you win deliberately.

Did they?

What?

Let go, I am a princess now.

I dare you to disrespect me.

Yesterday I told them what dignity means.

It means not to make
others uncomfortable arrogantly.

If you didn't understand that,

I don't mind teaching you again.

Just like you tried to teach me
how to play the zither today.

Let go. Let me go.

Mrs. Rong, you…

I just want to have tea with Miss Jiang alone

to resolve the issue

that she is always unhappy to see me.

If you want to play the zither, go ahead.

I…

How…

I advise you to behave.

In front of so many people,

don't lose your dignity as a princess.

Wait.

The Emperor and the Regent are here.

He Jiuling won't do anything to her.

But if you offend her,

she would definitely not mind

making a scene for others to laugh at.

Chengbi.

She drank some tea with hallucinogens,

but the effect only lasts
for the time of one incense stick.

I will be back in time.

Keep an eye on her.

Be careful.

Young Master.

Why are you so anxious to find her?

This place is full of women.

Master Rong.

Let's not stay here, shall we?

Isn't that Master Rong?

Young master, and what could
possibly happen to Madam?

Young master.

Master Rong.

Is Master Rong looking for He Jiuling?

He Jiuling and Princess Xihe

have been gone for a while.

Young master, young master.

Young master, where are you going?

Young master.

Wait.

Young master.

What are you doing?

Your Highness,

His Majesty bestowed a new horse today,

and the young master came to try it out.

Trying out the horse?

Young master,

this is a hunting ground.

There are wild beasts roaming around,

and swords have no eyes.

I don't want you to get hurt.

Young master, young master.

It's noisy.

For your safety,

I'll have someone escort you back.

Servants!

Yesterday, His Majesty
granted me a new position.

So what?

It's higher than yours.

Your Highness.

Could you slow down a bit?

My master is not a skilled rider,

and he can hardly keep up.

Your Highness, why are you stopping?

My master's Turk horse can hardly move.

Your Highness,

why are you running so fast again?

My master can't keep up.

The Regent is back.

I came to count the game for Your Highness.

Just now, a few lords came back

with only a few chickens.

And His Majesty is having fun.

I don't have anything here, scram.

Wipe your drool.

I didn't drool. You're fooling me.

Well, I must have seen it wrong.

Sorry, I fell asleep while scolding you.

However, judging by your

sincere apology,

I won't blame you for the time being.

So that was the illusion you saw.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Chengbi, let's go.

She was savagely scolded by me just now.

Just a paper tiger, why acting tough now?

So refreshing.

Why am I here?

Rong Yu.

Slow down a bit.

I'm not running.

Rong Yu, be careful not to fall.

Where have you been?

I was just drinking tea with the ladies.

There's nothing to worry about, right?

Really?

What? Don't you trust me?

On the contrary, you're running around all day.

Do you know how dangerous it is?

Forget it, I'll find an opportunity later.

Jiuling, come back to sleep.

Do you want this?

How about this?

Have some more of this.

Rong Yu,

do you have any idea
how furious I am these days?

I don't know what to do with you.

Speak frankly.

Are you sent by God to punish me?

Have some tea.

Following the Regent all day long,

don't you get tired?

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

What's there to argue with you?

Have some more dishes.

How dare this Li Yuhan still play the zither?

The day before yesterday,
everyone was gossiping

that her zither playing was not in tune,

and that she should
restrain here and elevate there.

It's so embarrassing.

She puts on a face like she's the best,

looking down on everyone.

Finally, someone looks down upon her.

Exactly.

Speaking of which,

the zither skills of Young Master Rong

were exceptionally beautiful.

It's a pity now.

Such a pity.

Have some tea.

Did you use to play the zither?

Are you talking about what we're hearing now?

I think she sounds terrible.

And she even missed some notes.

Maybe I would do better.

Even if you could,

I have no idea when I could actually hear it.

Young Master, Madam.

During these past few days of hunting,

His Majesty has gotten some nice things

and is distributing them.

Other people have left and you
were nowhere to be seen,

so I was sent to invite you
to receive your rewards.

Thank you, sir.

I'm sorry. I haven't been able
to obtain the military symbol.

It wasn't supposed to be easy.

Besides,

others are watching the Regent's Mansion.

Young master,

isn't this rabbit cute?

Look, it's been hungry for a while.

Come on, hurry up and feed it.

The person monitoring
outside the Regent's Mansion

was sent by Yan Lie.

A few days ago at the hunting grounds,

he even offered to help me.

In order to restrain that old scoundrel,

I've been fostering the Yan family
to turn against him.

I've instigated so many times in front of him

and it's already made him
suspicious of the Yan family.

Stealing the military symbol

has alarmed him.

If he finds out Yan Lie is monitoring
the Regent's Mansion,

despite Yan Lie's intentions,

the Yan family will be in danger.

What a pity.

If Your Majesty want to use Yan Lie,

after this matter,

you can take him under your command.

But you hate the Yan family the most.

I still do.

But I've learned to understand

the meaning of having no choice

when things change unpredictably.

And I've also learned how to survive in hatred.

Don't push yourself too hard.

No matter what,

the situation now is much better than before.

I count on you to resolve
many matters out there.

You must protect yourself

and be very careful.

Understood.

By the way, He Jiuling,

with Rong Yu like this now,

isn't it too hard for you?

Him?

He might actually be my lucky star.

If you want to leave him in the future,

I can help you.

When the He family fell into misfortune,

he saved me from the water and fire.

I know you are a person
who takes kindness seriously.

But keep this in your heart too.

You never know when you might need it.

[Rong's Mansion]

Someone from the pharmacy just came by.

They said they'd found the Celestial Grass.

Where?

Outside the city, in Jing Mountain.

That's far away.

It doesn't matter.
I have to go however far it is.

Why can't I see through
the future of the Regent?

Even the stars are blurred.

There's not a single useful clue.

What's going on?

Could it be that he has experts
by his side changing his destiny

that I know nothing about?

Young master.

It's getting late.

Don't you have to buy Lotus cakes for Madam?

If you don't go now, they will be sold out.

You came back a bit later than usual today.

They are still hot.

It will always be hot in the future.

It's okay.

I just said it casually.

It's tastier when it's hot.

It's even better than the one
you love to eat in Xicheng.

Isn't it?

If you like it, eat more.

By the way, Rong Yu,

I have something to discuss with you.

I need to find a herb

called Celestial Grass.

It's freshest only after it rains.

So if it rains tonight,

I will go to Jing Mountain.

This way, I can get up early
to pick up the medicine tomorrow.

Come on.

Let's go.

I've taken out some summer clothes for you.

If it's hot tomorrow,

let Zhanping change it for you.

And this sachet,

I just made it,

and the smell is a bit strong,

but it is for repelling mosquitoes.

Even if you think it smells bad
when you sleep at night,

don't ever take it off.

I also smoked your quilt with herbs.

How long will you be gone for?

I'll return tomorrow night.

It's only for one day.

There's nothing to worry about,

right?

But I still feel uneasy.

Then I'll go with you.

I'd be more worried that way.

Rong Yu, Rong Yu.

This annoying habit
of dragging things out of mine

is all your fault.

You're too bothersome

and too worrying.

I was never

like this before.

It's my fault.

It is. I blame you.

But this time,

let me go with you.

Alright. I hear you.

Don't worry, Chengbi and Wu Ritan are with me.

When you come back,

we will move to another house.

It seems

I have a family again.

Tan, slow down.

We have already collected the medicine.

It is because we have got it
that I am afraid it will lose its efficacy.

Besides, look at yourself.

You are obviously more anxious
to return to the city than anyone else.

I'll go fetch some water. You guys keep eating.

Keep an eye on the herbs.

It's Regent's men.

Traveling with such few people

is really too abnormal.

After what happened with the Yan family,

I don't really trust the people

around me now.

Who knows when they will betray me?

Now that the Chen family
has asked to go to Yanzhou

and the Yans have been demoted to Shu,

I am not planning

to promote the Left and Right Generals anymore.

It's safer to keep everything

in my own hands.

Moreover, in the hunting ground,

I clearly felt that someone
was trying to harm me.

The Yan Family also started
to frequently oppose me,

but nothing happened in the end.

I really don't know what to make of this.

Sir, is it possible
that your divination was wrong?

Impossible.

The only mistake was the inclusion of Rong Yu.

This voice…

The fate of a person related
to Astrology can't be predicted.

His appearance must have

interacted with the incident
in the hunting ground.

If I could use the star chart,

I would be able to predict more things.

I see.

I will need to ask Lord Rong for more advice

to ensure the safety of me and my family.

Of course.

As long as I am the Regent,

whatever you need, just ask.

Not to mention one He family,

even if there are two or three,

if they dare to stand in my way,

I will destroy them.

He Jiuling had the nerve to poison my son,

and I will let the He family pay the price.
