(Fate of Southern Love)

(Episode 6)

From then on, we'll just be strangers.

There's no need to understand my motives.

The poison you were given is extremely lethal.

Two of its ingredients are only found in the imperial court.

Ordinary folks can't even lay eyes on them.

You really need to be careful.

That poison was meant to take your life.

He crossed paths with us because he had no choice.

We don't have the right to decide someone else's fate.

Don't forget to take this medicine.

Thank you, Physician.

We're the bandits from Mount Jing.

You'd better keep quiet about us.

I understand.

With the gold in hand,

I'll leave Jingdu tomorrow.

That assassin used a technique from the Great Chu.

Jing Yun was the one who wanted you dead.

I see.

Princess Jing Yun is in love with Prince Ning.

I'm not surprised by her actions.

You sound very nonchalant.

Don't you love Prince Ning?

Doesn't this bother you?

Love?

By the way, that hawthorn pill I gave you was made 16 years ago.

It has already gone bad.

Love?

I wouldn't say that I love him.

It's just that my obsession with Prince Ning before this

has faded as I came to my senses.

So, it's not that I'm indifferent.

It's just that Princess Jing Yun is just too caught up in her feelings.

I also ate the hawthorn.

Nothing happened.

(Medicine)

I saw the signal and came right away.

Are you alright?

Everything about the assassin has been handled.

We need to enter the palace right now.

You will have to freshen up in the carriage.

Chancellor, ever since you met the Princess Consort,

you've been caught up in one crisis after another.

You've spent years plotting your return to Jingdu for revenge.

You can't let anything go wrong because of the Princess Consort again.

If anyone starts suspecting you,

everything you've done all these years

will be for nothing.

The Princess Consort will leave tonight with the medallion.

As for everything else,

you shouldn't get involved anymore.

Your Highness, there was a fire at Yongxing Hall last night.

After the fire was out, the Princess Consort went missing.

- What? - What?

I'm just worried that something might happen to the Princess Consort.

Send people to search for her.

I'm going to see His Majesty and accuse Lou Si Yi

of trying to assassinate a prince.

Your Highness, I have something to report.

I've already looked into

the assassin who fled after failing to attack you last night.

Knowing he couldn't escape,

he used his last bit of strength to head to Yongxing Hall

and set fire to the Great Jing Ancestral Hall out of spite.

Such a treasonous crime is truly shocking.

Lou Si Yi.

Who was the one who fought me last night?

I wouldn't mistake him for anyone else.

Is that so?

But I've already reported this to His Majesty.

If you seek an audience with His Majesty right now,

you'll be suspected of trying to frame an official

with your baseless accusation.

You know very well that His Majesty has always been worried

about your conflict with the Empress.

System, I want to know where Jin Zhu is right now.

(Host, are you sure you want to spend another 1,000 points)

(to find out Jin Zhu's location?)

(Jin Zhu is currently at Jingdu's Jichun Hall on Linyin Road.)

Guard Lin.

Lady Luo, what do you need?

Luckily,

Guard Feng got me out of the palace first thing this morning.

But all these days,

you've been through so much.

You always dreamed of marrying Prince Ning.

It was supposed to be a perfect match.

How did everything end up like this?

He's the Fourth Prince, Zhou Nan Zhi.

Fu Gui, he's really handsome.

If only I could see him every day.

If you want to see him all the time,

you'll have to marry him, just like Madam and Master.

When it comes to my feelings for Prince Ning,

all I really remember is that one moment from childhood.

I can't remember anything else.

Maybe for Prince Ning and me,

the author only wrote that one scene.

As for why I fell for him at first sight

or why I was so set on marrying him since I was a kid,

it seems

there are no answers in this story.

(Medallion)

I've been thinking.

My feelings for Prince Ning,

Jing Yun's obsession with him,

the Empress's wariness of him,

the Chancellor's hostility toward him,

all those things.

All of our love and hate

are all somehow tied to the main character.

Maybe that's the whole reason for our existence.

So, since I have nothing to do with them,

does that mean my life is pointless?

No.

That's the meaning the author gave us.

It's not our meaning of life.

After tonight,

you can do whatever you want in the future.

Then I want to be a physician.

That way, if you ever get hurt again,

I can take care of you myself.

Alright.

Once we meet up with my father and brother,

I'll find you a tutor.

You'll become the top female physician in the Great Jing.

I want to change my fate.

You can too.

Then I'll open an apothecary to take care of you.

I'll make sure you live even better than you do now.

Alright.

I'll find the physician to get some medicine.

I still need to change your bandages on the way.

Okay. Physician Fu Gui.

Get on with it, then.

(Medallion)

By order of His Highness, I must escort you back to the residence.

- You are not allowed to leave without permission. - No.

- No! - Please forgive me.

- Let go. - Take her away!

Let me go!

I want to see His Highness.

Let me go!

I want to see His Highness! Let me go!

Let go!

Chancellor Lou.

Chancellor Lou, please save us.

His Highness took Lady Jin away.

I'm afraid we can't leave the city tonight.

- Chancellor Lou, please help us. - You can't do that, Chancellor.

From a public standpoint,

it is reasonable for Prince Ning to bring back his Princess Consort.

I have no right to interfere.

From a personal standpoint,

I've kept my promise to let her leave the city.

She and I owe each other nothing now.

Honestly, I really

can't see any benefit in saving her.

- Don't let anyone see us. Hurry. - Lin Lan.

- Let me see His Highness once. - I'm sorry. This is Prince Ning's order.

Please be understanding. Speed up.

- Take the Princess Consort back at once. - Roger that.

Let's go!

Let me go.

Why is there smoke?

Looks like someone is coming. Watch out.

I show you my face

because I don't plan on letting you walk out alive.

Lou Si Yi.

But I'm injured right now.

I really don't want to get physical.

Why don't you just finish yourselves off?

Report this to Prince Ning's residence. Hurry. I'll hold him off.

I'm sorry, Princess Consort.

Chancellor Lou, please spare us.

Lou Si Yi, don't kill them.

They're just following orders.

If you ever enter Jingdu again,

you'll die.

Thank you, Chancellor Lou.

You shouldn't have come here.

I really can't think of a reason to save you.

But I also can't figure out

what you'd do if I didn't show up.

It's Lin Lan.

Prince Ning

will definitely suspect you.

If something this minor could bring me down,

there would be no point fighting in Jingdu anymore.

Has he left?

No.

When the hour of Xu arrives,

you can take the medallion and leave the city.

Alright.

Carrying your undergarments with me seems too risky.

So, I burned them this morning.

You need not worry, Chancellor Lou.

If that's the case,

from now on, only the words carved on your arm can threaten me.

I have no future with Jingdu anymore.

I have no need to threaten you anymore.

Yes. Jingdu

is full of dirty business.

It's better not to come back.

But your issue with Zhou Nan Zhi has already reached the Emperor's ears.

He might not dare to kill you now.

Why do you have to leave?

If our lives

are like this shadow puppet show,

controlled by others and with no say of our own,

what would you do?

- Why did the man kill the woman? - If this story wants me dead,

then the only thing I can do

is to get away from the stage.

Let's go.

Why did he destroy the stage?

If the stage is gone,

will there be any need to leave?
