Original subtitles

No need to see her face.

I know her.

She is Lu Ying's eldest daughter.

Your Royal Highness

Who are you going to hide it?

Them?

me or the emperor?

I

In which case, I will...

Minister Zhang.

It's not a good idea to arrest her like this.

I will tell him to send her hereafter we tie her.

It's...

It's all your fault.

Keep a close eye on her.

If you can't find her, you will have the same punishment.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

I won't go.

So I am assured.

Your Royal Highness

Why are you here, Xu?

The national academy has a new brush and ink.

I want to invite you there.

Another day.

What's wrong?

The clothes burnt.

I am asking you...

What?

I don't know what you are thinking.

You said nothing in front of the emperor.

Now you even did this.

So we have to see Lu Ying die.

I have the solution.

According to the decree, it's execution.

Maybe it's the day after tomorrow or tomorrow.

We have no leeway.

What solution do you have?

Marriage.

Feng'en.

I want to have my princess.

You are here to plead guilty.

I have said, and you also promised me that you wouldn't intervene in this.

No.

I am here for my marriage.

Marriage?

Do you want to have a princess?

Yes

You are so bold.

So you are stupid or naive?

Your Royal Highness

You still don't give up?

The emperor won't give his consent.

He will.

Give me enough reason.

Because I love her.

You know who she is?

You will?

Yes.

I have never seen her.

But I...

love her.

You go there.

You, go there.

The former royal minister Lu Ying sabotaged the national ceremony.

It's a treason.

Lu Ying and his eldest son will be executed.

The eldest daughter will be a maid.

And his youngest son will be sent into exile.

Thank you.

Son.

Do you regret?

No.

I am just scared.

Scared?

So I can't let them see through me.

Me, too.

Very scared.

I am afraid that you will blame me.

Dad

Now A'jin could escape from this.

And we don't know where A'xi is.

It's a good news.

If someone needs to blame you, it's only me.

I didn't expect these comforting words would exist in this world.

Dad

Ok, time's up.

Let's go.

Make way.

Make way.

Make way.

Who is that?

Royal minister Lu and his son.

Yes...

It's royal minister Lu.

Brother Lu Ying

Now, if I say I want to listen to my hometown's cranes, will you laugh at me?

I won't.

I won't leave the smile on my face.

Much appreciated.

Brother Wenpu

Brother Wenpu

You...

What...

Brother Wenpu.

I thought the court just intimidated you.

I didn't expect it's real.

Idiot.

I shouldn't have pushed you into the water.

I shouldn't have laughed at you.

I didn't see this coming.

Till now, please forget me.

You are so bloody stupid.

Go back.

You.

Go.

Make way.

Make way.

Make way...

Brother Lu

I won't chat with you now.

I'm going to welcome his Royal Highness now.

The emperor didn't give the consent right?

I don't know where your guts and confidence come from to make this request.

If I don't give my consent, what will you do?

No.

Because I believe you will give consent.

Since you are so confident,

I don't need to reject you now.

I will give my final decision until tomorrow's court.

If I had the honor to sit in the carriage again,

I would behave and protect your Majesty.

You are my son.

Even if you fall asleep again, will I blame you?

It means no consent.

Why does he send you to run the errands?

Your Royal Highness

It's noon.

The court is not finished yet right?

Wait a while.

Yes.

Your Majesty

Did the messenger come back?

No.

His Royal Highness is waiting.

I will wait for your grace.

Before tomorrow's court ends, you can have a little hope.

But I am so curious.

Why are you so confident this time?

Because this time I will give something in return.

I will repay you and the country.

That's all for today.

Ring the bell.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

They dismissed.

Nothing declared.

The messenger is waiting here.

Feng'en, you should go down there.

If she comes, stop her.

She can't see it.

Yes

Where are you going?

No need.

Your dad and brother.

I am just doing what a daughter should do.

I must go.

They've sent back to the ministry of justice.

What's going on?

Why did the emperor do this?

To punish me.

Congratulations

I will go back to the palace.

I have done my best.

Your Royal Highness

I will dedicate myself to assist your Royal Highness with my daughter.

You are here to plead guilty?

I said, you also promised me that you wouldn't intervene in this.

No.

I am here for my marriage.

Marriage?

You want to have a princess.

Yes

The imperial concubine in Denghua Palace said.

The minister of justice's daughter is old enough to get married.

She is virtuous.

I like her.

Do you want to marry Zhang Luzheng's daughter?

Yes

This is your solution.

You won't violate my order, and Lu Ying could be saved.

Only national amnesty can do it.

After you marry Zhang Luzheng's daughter, you can save Lu Ying.

So the ministry of justice won't cooperate with chancery.

You are so bold.

Dad

It's not like this.

Give me enough reason

Because I love her.

You know who she is.

Will you...

Yes.

I have never seen her.

But I love her.

Sister.

A'jin.

Sister.

- Sister. - A'jin.

A'jin.

Sister, where have you been?

A'jin.

Don't cry.

Sister.

Uncle.

We don't know where you have been these days.

Your nominal mom doesn't know how to tell you.

I am in...

Uncle.

Why my dad is safe?

National amnesty.

You and your brother are pardoned.

So your dad and brother have the stay of execution.

They will be executed after autumn.

Uncle.

Why does the amnesty come suddenly?

The bell rang.

The executioner lifted his axe.

But the crown prince told us to wait for another one hour.

You say he is bold or stupid?

It's smart or naive?

Sorry, I don't know.

But without what you mentioned, royal minister Lu would have died.

If it's true, I can say it's not worthwhile for the crown prince to do that.

It's not worthwhile for me to do this for the crown prince.

Also tell the marriage to Gu Silin in Changzhou.

Yes

Finally, he got what he wanted.

The crown prince's wedding ceremony comes right after the capping ceremony.

Wu Dehou will be more relieved to protect our country on the front line.

It's not so important.

The thing is I don't want to see the ministries collude with chancery.

Minister Zhang's eldest daughter.

She can know it.

She should be level-headed.

I know it.

What do you know?

Sorry.

I can do nothing.

I don't want to either.

All because of my stupidity and ignorance.

I

Get it.

From today on, we are strangers.

Sister, I can't breathe.

Get out.

It's the wedding day. Why do you hit me?

You said something wrong.

No.

Am I so stupid?

Who knows?

Your Royal Highness.

What are you doing, dad?

Your Royal Highness.

From now on, my family depends on you.

My good daughter.

But

I know nothing.

Nian'er.

Don't be afraid.

You have me.

For the crown prince's marriage, I should take half of the credit.

Thank you, your Majesty.

And the imperial concubine, thank you.

When will we hold the ceremony?

Your Majesty, the ministry of rites, needs to do some preparations.

One month after the proposal. We can give the imperial decree tomorrow.

Since the wedding...

They should move back, right?

The crown prince gets used to the visits in the morning and evening.

So you want to see your wife get up early and come back late?

Ok, I don't want to talk about this today.

Whether you will move back or not, I want to congratulate you in advance

Thank you

We also know the crown prince doesn't eat fish, right?

Why do you prepare it again?

Your Majesty

Prince Qi wants to see you.

I have said.

He is not allowed to enter the palace before leaving the capital.

Yes

You told him to come here, right?

Your Majesty

I don't know if we can see it again in the future.

I think.

You think.

If all of you are so good at thinking, why do we need the imperial decree?

I am sorry.

You gave the imperial decree.

So I don't dare to see him privately.

But I'm his mother.

Even if we don't talk, I want to see him at the family feast.

He can eat his favorite cuisines before he leaves.

Have you forgotten?

The crown prince wasn't allowed in the palace once.

I told the brother to come here.

Dad

My wedding ceremony comes soon.

I need his congratulations.

You told him to come?

Yes

Ok

You should go out and tell him in person.

He needs to leave tomorrow in the early-morning.

He needs to leave at last.

Do you remember what you have told me?

Yes.

Such a cheap favour.

Now you are here to ridicule me.

We just mind our own business.

You are so spoiled.

You forget our dad is the emperor.

I know.

You are the one who forgets and doesn't understand.

Forget it.

I'm leaving tomorrow anyway.

I don't want to say childish words with you.

Brother, you are not the only one who should leave.

And you are not the only one who can't see us for the last time.

[Singing]

Sister.

What does it mean?

Departure.

What's departure?

Dad said.

Mutual arousal is being together.

Forgetting is departure.

Sister, why do you break the willow branches?

Because some people just don't understand,

we don't need any fortune.

We don't want to be separated from the loved ones.

Now they will keep them stay with the willow branches.

Even if they need to leave, it won't be a long time.

Sister.

Are we going to leave?

Correct

We are leaving

Rest assured, dad

Prefectural governor Li will take care of them.

But how I wish to see them.

Mutual arousal is no better than forgettting.

You have told them?

Yes.

They will leave tomorrow with me.

Thank you.

Why so anxious?

Can't they see royal minister Lu again?

On the one hand, it's prince Qi's favor.

One the other hand, it's prince Zhao's.

The two princes are troublesome enough.

Now it's get involved with the crown prince.

I think I should forget it.

Crown prince.

You are worried that Wen'xi is...

No.

I am worried about destiny.

Prince Qi will leave the capital.

The crown prince will marry the minister of justice's daughter.

The emperor is going to bring chancellor to justice.

The capping ceremony, the test, the mobilization, and the newspaper.

The emperor's patience has reached the limit.

Brother Zihua's life is a chip now.

It all depends on whether the crown prince overthrows

the chancellor in the next six months.

Maybe this is the emperor's encouragement for the crown prince.

You should serve them well.

Yes.

What a pity! We should stay out of the crown prince.

Otherwise we can help Zihua.

This time Zihua is in trouble.

The crown prince did nothing.

Minister Lu and Lu Zihua both failed.

Now he takes Zihua's old enemy as support.

It's hard to predict the emperor's heart.

But this time, it's harder to predict the crown prince's heart.

If only someone can tell us what's going on there.

Are you joking?

The crown prince runs scared since childhood.

He is only close to minister Lu and Jia Yibo.

That's right, it's a joke.

We need to leave Zihua to destiny.
