[Lovesickness]

[Episode 22]

I heard that Yuchan is going to marry into the palace.

The Emperor is old enough to be her father.

How can she marry him?

An Mo, don't speak recklessly.

Originally, it should have been Zhao Yuzhu.

But she refused.

She refused?

So she passed it on to someone else?

She has no choice.

Because Yuchan is just an illegitimate daughter.

So what?

Are illegitimate daughters not human beings?

Are they meant to be trampled on?

From ancient times,

emperors and ministers have been using marriage

to stabilize their relationship.

Moreover, the Prime Minister is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

After Yuchan marries into the palace,

she probably won't be bullied like she is now.

If your men's authority

depends on sacrificing women's happiness

to secure,

then it's just too sad.

No. I have to go find her.

I can't let her marry into the palace.

Are you crazy? Defying the imperial decree is a serious crime.

I'd rather die than let her marry into the palace!

If she enters the palace, everything will be ruined!

Calm down.

Let's think it over carefully.

There will be a solution.

No, absolutely not.

The entire Prime Minister's Mansion

will be implicated because of me.

That won't happen.

You and Zhao Yuzhu are both ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

You two are equal.

Don't you know it should have been her originally?

How could I not know?

But I'm just an illegitimate daughter.

She refused, so it has to be me.

Why?

Women have the right to choose their own marriages.

We should decide our own destiny.

My fate is in my own hands.

My fate is in my own hands?

Sister, what do you think I should do?

The temple fair is in two days.

At 8 p.m. that day,

Xiao Chu and I will be waiting for you at the back door.

After we meet,

quickly slip away while they are busy and not paying attention to you.

Oh no.

If Lady Yuchan runs away,

I'll definitely be punished.

As long as Yuchan doesn't marry into the palace

and then become the Empress Dowager,

Xiao Chu won't die, I think.

And Yuchan will be happier.

Just now, Yuchan sent a maid to deliver a letter,

saying that there are many people at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

She will find an opportunity to slip away.

And she told us to wait for her directly at the city gate.

My dear sister.

Sister?

Where are you going?

I...

Let me guess.

You're not waiting for that An Mo to take you away, are you?

You're so naive.

Do you know why I'm here?

It was because your good sister, An Mo,

told me herself.

It has been a long time

since she couldn't stand seeing you shamelessly

chasing after Xiao Chu every day.

I don't believe it.

Sister An would never say that.

You don't believe it?

Then I'll personally take you to see.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Let go of me! Let go of me!

Why hasn't Yuchan arrived yet?

Did something happen to her?

Don't worry for now.

She might have been delayed by something else.

It's cold. Why didn't you wear more?

See?

They're having a sweet date.

They don't have time to take care of you.

I don't believe it.

I'll go and ask them myself.

You're so ungrateful!

I advise you to behave yourself.

I'll make sure you marry into the palace in glory.

Let go of me!

My Lady!

Your face!

My Lady!

[Duke's Mansion]

Something must have gone wrong.

I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again tomorrow.

What's wrong?

Why are you so determined to help her?

Forget it. Just consider it as me pitying her.

She's going to the palace to become a consort.

Why do you pity her?

Yuchan,

why didn't you come last night?

My sister found out.

Well, why don't we leave now?

No need.

Sister An.

I've decided to marry into the palace.

Didn't we agree to...

Zhao Yuzhu's face was ruined by me.

So, I'm the only one who can marry into the palace now.

Sister An, you should congratulate me.

I'm going to marry into the palace and enjoy wealth and glory.

Yuchan,

you must not be so reckless.

Do you have any other way?

Sister An,

I used to really see you

as my own sister.

But Sister An,

do you really see me as your own sister?

Of course.

You're always good at acting.

Isn't it just because you pity me?

No, Yuchan.

How could that be? You misunderstood me.

I didn't.

I just finally figured it out.

In terms of appearance and talent, you're inferior to me.

Yet, you intentionally led me to pursue Brother Xiao Chu,

causing me to lose face in front of him,

just to highlight your uniqueness.

Yuchan, it was really not like that.

If you had never appeared,

it would have been so much better.

What do you mean?

Sister An.

This is the last time I call you sister.

In one of these two cups of wine,

I've added the Dream Powder.

Whoever drinks it

will silently die in their sleep

within seven days.

Didn't you say that our fate is in our own hands?

Let's each take a cup.

Let fate decide who lives and who dies.

Yuchan!

If you want me to die, it's easy.

But before I die,

you must promise me one thing.

What is it?

In the future,

no matter what happens,

you must never, ever,

ever harm Xiao Chu.

What nonsense are you talking about?

How could I ever harm Brother Xiao Chu?

I'm glad to hear that.

Remember what you said today.

Never harm him.

I know you won't believe

anything I say now.

But Yuchan,

I've been truly treating you sincerely.

You forced me to do it.

You forced me to do it.

You forced me to do it!

From now on,

I'll never allow anyone to betray me.

Never.
