=Jade's Fateful Love=

=Episode 16=

Liu Hong is caught.

You take care of him.

Zhou Shiyu took down Mr. Liu.

Sorry I failed my job.

I should have handled this in Liuzhou.

Get Su Nian and Lingxi to me.

I have to know what happened in Liuzhou.

Yes.

(Auspicious and Fortunate)

Why am I back in the mansion?

I remember I went to see Su Nian yesterday.

Weird.

Why is the wine of Beishuo even stronger than that of Dongyu?

His Majesty

(Royal Decree) hereby announces this.

The North Princess Consort Ashina Zhu

is meritorious for disaster relief in Liuzhou.

She's rewarded with a pair of jade Ruyi

nineteen bolts of fancy yarn,

and nineteen bolts of silk fabrics.

Respect this.

I appreciate the kindness of His Majesty.

Your Highness, you may rise.

His Majesty invited you

to the family banquet with His Highness.

You have to prepare properly.

Family banquet?

Yeah.

I'll take my leave, then.

See you, Eunuch Li.

Qianqian.

Come this way, Eunuch Li.

Put this away.

Yes, Your Highness.

Leave me.

So many rewards.

Yueling,

can I have these silk fabrics?

Why does a man like you

need silk fabrics?

For something important.

Do I have to prepare

your betrothal gifts here in Beishuo?

I've heard quite enough

of your failures.

Aren't you tired of them?

Master, sorry.

It's incompetent of me.

The paper with poor handwriting

can be ripped up.

But if someone fails his mission...

I'll take them out for punishment.

Master, we failed our mission.

But we got some important information.

The Princess of Dongyu and the North Prince

can do witchcraft.

That's why we can't kill them.

What is unusual? Confess!

I can't tell very specifically.

But they seem to predict

what we're going to do.

When we poisoned the water,

they even found the antidote.

That makes no sense.

Prime Minister,

Taoist Master once said

a mysterious force

could fold the time.

Looks like

it has something to do with them.

Can it be witchcraft?

Taoist Master,

we found some clues about the fluctuation you mentioned.

However,

you need to confirm it personally.

What do you want me to do?

Just tell me.

A banquet will held in the palace tomorrow.

Then, the North Prince

will take the Princess of Dongyu there.

You can take this opportunity

and figure out what secret

the two of them have.

I get it.

This time, I'll do something personally.

Zhou Shiyu, I'd like to see

what witchcraft you can do

to get out of this trouble.

(The West Market)

Your Grace, you want something from Dongyu?

Yeah.

Something went wrong when I was in the palace last time

and the Great Consort was upset.

So this time,

I'm going to buy her a present.

I should have good manners, you know.

A Dongyu present will be perfect, then.

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

So, today,

I invited Mr. Perfect

to pick a good present for us.

Your Grace, if we're lucky enough,

we may meet some vendors

sell goods from Dongyu.

That's great. Let's look for them.

Your Grace, look.

Baked pancake. Shish kebab.

Three pennies for each.

It smells so great, Your Grace.

I want some.

All right. Sir, ten pieces of shish kebab

and three baked pancake.

All right.

Here, sir.

I haven't had this for a long time.

Here come the soldiers!

Catch them!

Don't run!

- San, let's go. - Stop.

Hurry.

Stop running!

My... My shish kebab.

My...

There's no more time. Come on.

Why are you running?

How dare you run away?

- No, My Lord. - Found it.

Don't move! Behave yourself!

Our shish kebab...

(The West Market)

For the food from our hometown,

we ran such a long way.

It tastes great, though.

Think about it.

The vendors were doing business.

Why did the soldiers try to catch them?

According to Beishuo laws,

Dongyu people can't do business in town.

So, every time the patrol soldiers come,

the vendors will have to run about

in case of being putting to jail.

What?

How many more ridiculous laws

are there in Beishuo?

Your Grace, don't be angry.

Have you decided

what present to buy?

Oh,

I nearly forgot that.

(The North Prince's Mansion)

How do I look?

You look great in anything.

Let's go.

(Benign and Benevolent)

You keep it secret all the way.

What present is it?

Something special from Dongyu.

I want to give it to the Great Consort myself

for our first meeting.

Something happened last time

and I didn't greet her.

I'd like to apologize.

The Great Consort is very kind.

It's thoughtful of you.

She'll love it, I believe.

This time, I'm here with you.

Nothing will go wrong again.

Don't worry.

I'm still a little bit nervous.

It's your family banquet, after all.

Our family banquet, actually.

Shiyu,

I spent quite a long time

picking out this outfit.

I look very energetic, don't I?

Your Highness, the Great Consort wanted a talk.

What about my consort? She...

You're invited alone, Your Highness.

Her Highness have to wait here.

You just go.

I'll wait here for you.

All right. Wait a minute.

- I'll be right back. - All right.

Su Nian,

we aren't punished this time.

Luckily, because of Xingyi,

we approached our targets.

We escaped punishment this time.

What about next time?

What's wrong?

Su Nian, are you not happy?

Because of Xingyi, right?

I lied to him.

All this time.

What else can we do?

He's our enemy, after all.

I don't want to be like this anymore.

Maybe

it's time to make a decision.

Greeting, Your Grace.

You may rise.

When you were in Liuzhou,

you became so skinny.

Later,

I'll ask the chefs to make you nutritious food.

It's my fault

to have kept you worried.

Shiyu,

you've always been sensible.

But your consort...

She's trouble.

Who said that?

I hear she's the Princess is impolite

and plays well with her servants.

Quite disrespectful.

They get your mansion in chaos.

Is that true?

Absolutely not.

She has a pleasant disposition

and she's very kind.

She gets along very well with my men.

Are you sure?

Then why do people say

she's very arrogant?

Making you marry a princess

has already aggrieved you.

Since you really like her,

make her your concubine.

Someone else will be your wife.

Your Grace, don't stay this again.

I've made up my mind

that she'll be my wife.

I'll marry no one but her.

How dare you come here again?

Looks like you didn't have a good lesson last time.

His Majesty invited me.

Why can't I come?

His Majesty invited you for the sake of Shiyu.

You don't actually deserve

to show up at the banquet.

Yeah.

You're a rough girl from a savage state.

Such an eyesore.

(Oh, no. I have to bear it.)

(I'm here, disguised as my eldest sister.)

(I can't give myself away by losing temper.)

If I were you, I would perish with the shame.

Yeah.

Dongyu people are shortsighted and coarse.

They shouldn't come out to humiliate themselves.

Yeah.

We Dongyu people are shortsighted and coarse.

Ladies,

don't talk to a coarse girl like me

in case I bother your eyes.

You're such a brash girl.

How would Shiyu adore someone like you?

I do adore her.

And I adore no one but her.

Shiyu, how can you be enchanted by her?

Gao Luoyi,

you had my consort kept in the abandoned palace

and slandered her in front of the Great Consort.

I explained them to Her Grace.

You'll be grounded for three months

and copy ten Buddhist scriptures.

Go get punished.

Shiyu, let me explain.

If you don't go get punished

and Brother also knows about it,

I guess you'll have to suffer more.

- Shiyu... - Forget it, Your Grace.

How does this princess

fascinate the North Prince?

I think you're quite idle.

Since you have nothing to do,

go copy the scriptures for the Great Consort.

I've told His Majesty.

After the banquet is over,

you each have to copy ten scriptures

before you can leave the palace.

Yueling,

are you all right?

I'm fine.

(The House of Romance)

Bravo!

- So beautiful. - Yeah.

She's just like a fairy.

That's right.

- She dances so beautifully. - Yeah.

What dance is Miss Su Nian doing?

She's like dancing into my heart.

Gorgeous.

Miss Su Nian has marvelous eyes.

Her eyes take my soul.

Su...

Gentlemen,

what do you think of my dance?

It's wonderful.

Extraordinary.

Great. You're the best dancer in Beishuo.

You make me shy, gentleman.

A toast to you, gentlemen.

I can't bear it anymore.

Come on. Drink.

Come on, gentleman. Let's drink.

Here, gentleman.

(When I'm doing this,)

(Su Nian will notice, won't she?)

Did... Did she give me a cold stare?

What did you say?

Gentleman, you're leaving?

Where are you going?

- No more food. Bye. - I haven't danced.

Gentleman, you haven't enjoyed enough.

Su Nian, it's me.

Open the door.

Su Nian isn't here.

Looks like Su Nian still cares about me.

I'll let her rest, then.

I'll come tomorrow.

Didn't you say

you would present a present?

If you don't give it to her,

I'll have it.

I'll give it to her.

Or she would think I have no manners.

Your Grace,

I failed to talk to you when I last came.

I feel really regretful.

So, this time,

I picked a present for you.

What is it? Let me have a look.

I've never seen

such a hat before.

It's a hat of Dongyu style.

Its biggest feature is

its two ear muffs.

It feels comfortable in winter.

Her Grace has everything.

This hat looks bad and weird.

Who would wear that?

Funny.

How could she give such a present?

Dongyu people are so shortsighted.

As far as I see,

this hat is very useful.

I'm sure you have a lot of hats

and many of them are valuable.

But you need a hat

that can keep you warm

from the storms.

I'm ashamed to say this,

but I'm not even as thoughtful as her.

I get your point, Shiyu.

You don't need to speak for her.

This hat...

I'll accept it.

I think this hat looks good.

Where did you buy it?

Buy one for me, too.

Zhixuan,

when I'm talking to Shiyu,

you should not cut in.

You're not a lineal prince.

("You're not a lineal prince.")

(I knew you would say this.)

(So old-fashioned.)

I hear the Eldest Princess of Dongyu is good at dancing.

Her original Bowl Lamp Dance

is famous throughout the grassland.

Today, the Great Consort is also here.

How about you dance

to entertain everybody here?

She is a guest.

How could you make her dance for fun?

Just to make Her Grace happy.

Don't be mean, Shiyu.

Can she not dance

and everything is just an exaggeration?

I don't think she can't dance.

She just doesn't want to dance.

Maybe the Princess of Dongyu

actually looks down on our state.

This isn't a very good time.

Your Majesty,

Your Grace,

I don't dance very well.

But I'm willing to dance for you.

Hope the Bowl Lamp Dance

can bring good luck to Your Majesty

and Your Grace.

Good.

It's thoughtful of you.

She's showing bare feet in public.

So indecent.

This is an amazing dance.

You can make a request today.

Unless I'm not able to do it,

I'll give you the best.

Really?

Anything?

Yes.

Anything I'm able to do now.

There's only one thing

I want Your Majesty to approve.

Your Majesty, can you abolish

the pariah system of Dongyu people in Beishuo

so that local people won't despise them?

I didn't know she cared so much for her people.

Such a great princess.

Brother, it's also what I wish for.

I'd like to request with her.

Your Majesty,

in the Capital City, Dongyu people

have to be slaves unless they have estate properties.

It makes them pariahs.

As pariahs,

they can't have proper freedom, marriage, or life.

This system ruins their lives.

I just promised to give you something.

Your request

is really out of bounds.

I know what I request now

may not be met.

I'm here in Beishuo for marriage.

And it means to get peace between the two states.

If I end up married

but my people still suffer injustice

in the Capital City,

what will be the point of my marriage?

You're a wise and brave princess.

But a national affair

can't be as easily solved

as a palace affair.

I'll keep in mind your request.

Maybe

it'll take a few days

before it's realized.

I'd like you to thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of my people.

Hope this day will come soon.

I hear you love pastry.

Since I can't meet your request today,

I will give you

some special pastry of the palace.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Taste it.

A little gift from His Majesty.

All right.

It tastes great.

Yueling, what's wrong?

Yueling.

Yueling, what's wrong?

Yueling!

Your Grace!

Your Grace!

Yueling!

Yueling!

Your Grace, what happened?

Yueling!

Yueling!

Yueling!

How dare someone poison her in front of me?

Somebody!

- Here! - Here.

Seal the palace and investigate immediately!

- Yes! - Yes!

Shiyu!

- Your Highness! - Your Grace.

Aren't I supposed to be at the banquet?

Why am I here?

Your Grace,

how do you feel of being bullied?

At today's banquet,

your consort was embarrassed.

I'm terribly sorry.

But we should not

spread this tale

in case the royal image is stained.

I'll investigate secretly

and find the poisoner.

Shiyu, when you're back home,

do console her.

Brother, the banquet is over?

Yeah.

It's just over.

Shiyu, what's wrong?

Confess. Who asked you to poison the pastry?

It's not me.

It's really not me.

It's poisonous?

No way? How's that possible?

You must be insane.

What is poisonous?

Your Grace,

what are you talking about?

Would I give you something poisonous?

Brother,

the pastry is...

Shiyu,

there must be a misunderstanding.

Eunuch Li.

Here.

Take this maid away.

Yes.

Take her away.

- Your Majesty. - Not me.

- Go. - You must be drunk.

You're not making sense.

Your Majesty, I'm sober.

It's poisonous and should be tested now.

Lady Chen,

take her away to sober up.

- Yes. - But Your Majesty...

Come, Your Grace.

What is wrong with the Princess of Dongyu?

How dare she be so ridiculous?

Yeah. She's going too far.

Shiyu,

Lady Chen will take care of her.

You just stay without worry.

Your Grace, do you also think

I talk nonsense because I'm drunk?

I don't understand

why you insist the pastry is poisonous.

I don't know the rules of your state.

Why does nobody trust me?

Why didn't they test the pastry

and catch the poisoner?

Do you really think he can be caught?

If he could be caught,

he wouldn't dare to use this trick

in front of everyone.

It must be perfectly schemed.

The political things are complicated.

I don't understand.

But I know

if you make a big scene,

it won't be easily over.

I believe His Majesty will figure out the truth.

Now, sorry for the grievance.

I indeed feel aggrieved.

I want to go out for some fresh air.

Thank you for enlightening me.

The terrible Princess of Dongyu.

She instigated Shiyu to ground me.

Gao Luoyi, I'm here to see you.

Zhou Zhixuan, what are you doing here?

To laugh at you.

Hearing you're grounded,

I'm here to see you.

It's so much fun

and I can't miss it.

You...

Your Grace, don't be angry.

How about we go out by using him?

Zhixuan,

help me, please.

Am I hearing it right?

Look, we're not enemies, right?

The enemy of the enemy is your friend, huh?

Think about it.

If the Princess of Dongyu really married Shiyu...

Oh, no.

You'll totally lose to him,

won't you?

You have a point.

Zhixuan, help me out, please.

Zhixuan.

I'm on your side,

Zhixuan.

Your Grace.

Don't ask. I'm fine.

I haven't said anything.

At today's banquet,

your consort was embarrassed.

I'm terribly sorry.

But we should not

spread this tale

in case the royal image is stained.

I'll investigate secretly

to find the poisoner.

Shiyu, when you're back home,

do console her.

I get it.

I'll take my leave.

I guess Yueling is in danger.

What will make you break the engagement with my cousin?

Gao Luoyi, let go of me.

- I won't. - Explain.

Let me go.

Oh, I wondered who this was.

Aren't you the shameless

Princess of Dongyu?

(Seriously?)

(I can't avoid this?)

Who do you mean shameless?

You!

Before you got married, you went to Liuzhou

for my cousin.

Aren't you just shameless?

Princess Luoyi, aren't you grounded?

How dare you come out?

I was grounded because of you!

I didn't even attend the banquet.

And you're one to talk.

I won't bother to argue.

Tell me.

What will make you break the engagement?

Gao Luoyi, let go of me.

I won't.

- Let me go! - I just won't!

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Are you all right?

Yueling.

Are you all right?

(Why did the same thing happen?)

(Is it)

(that even if we predict something)

(and change the process,)

(the outcome will remain the same?)

I'm fine.

Let go of me.

Before you calm down,

you'd better not walk.

Shiyu, I fell, too.

Why do you not check you?

♪Telling what is awfully bothering♪

Your Highness, what happened?

♪Love lingers and lingers♪

♪You and I both know it♪

Get in the carriage and wait.

I'll be right back.

Take good care of her.

I will.

I hear the abandoned palace is a good place.

So, I requested Brother

to get you there

where you can copy scriptures and pray for the Great Consort.

You can't leave before you finish.

Ladies,

there you go.
