Original subtitles

You are the maid of Baoben palace.

Why are you here so late?

I guess it right.

She works for you.

You are the crown prince's...

The crown prince told you to come here.

I am here with a presumptuous request.

A presumptuous request?

I can take her place to work for you.

So please help me get rid of maid Chen.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

It's all right.

It's all right.

Come.

Sister.

It's not my intention during the day.

All my fault.

Your Royal Highness.

Just sleep.

I will be waiting outside.

Ridiculous.

You are the crown prince's maid, none of my business.

Eupatorium chinense

What?

I was arrested after the princess' miscarriage.

Maid Chen put a package of herbs in my room

to scapegoat me upon the crown prince's decree.

None of my business.

Eupatorium chinense.

How could she know,

I took the medicine from Lady Jiang?

After that, I have thought about it

Lady Jiang gave her the same thing she gave me, right?

At that time, Lady Jiang was instructed

by the former chancellor Li Baizhou right?

And the former chancellor is your...

How dare you!

Nonsense.

Guards.

She works for you.

But she cares about her personal interests blindly.

She can do nothing for you.

Why bother to keep her?

It has nothing to do with me.

But you are just like her.

It has nothing to do with affection.

I just...

I don't want to waste my time on titmouse.

What?

Don't want to waste my time on titmouse

when I can defeat the eagle.

My father told me this.

I am here to see you because I don't want to waste my time on titmouse.

Who are you?

Who am I?

It's not important.

So your eagle is...

No.

Where can she hide?

Won't she get out of the palace, right?

Bullshit.

They have closed the door for a long time.

She won't fly out with wings.

I don't believe it.

Keep looking.

Yes.

Go.

You go there.

You come with me.

At the fifth tum, they will open the palace door.

I will come back by the fourth tum.

Sister, wait for me.

Sister.

Maid Gu.

Miss Lu.

You really want to do this?

You really want to live like this?

I met you for the first time half a year ago.

Miss.

Turn around.

I can take you to Changzhou now.

We can go anywhere.

Miss.

Sister.

Prince V.

Can you lend me a horse?

This time, I can't wait till the dawn.

You can leave, but why do you come back?

The horse can run quickly.

Can it take me back to the past?

If not,

Why it's the fourth tum?

Till then, the crown prince is still sleeping.

Why does sister help me?

Sister appears here.

Also because...

of her, right?

I...

If he didn't wake up at the fourth tum.

Or didn't go as well.

When people open the door at fifth tum, he will go to lectures or levee,

then it will be too late.

Wait.

What happened?

The crown prince told you?

Yes.

I will give this back to the crown prince.

You.

Should get inside now.

Commander You.

The crown prince told me to keep the secret.

For the chancellor.

Sister.

Sister.

Come here.

Come...

Sister.

For you.

Everyone.

Come here.

She is here.

Maid Chen.

Maid Chen.

What's up?

Maid Zhao wants to tell you, we have arrested her.

If we should punish her?

Bitch.

Where do you think you are?

You think you can run?

You. - Stop it.

You should go.

You are just beaten for 50 times.

Bear with, it will be over soon.

Why did you do this?

I'm afraid his reputation will be damaged because of my weakness.

You think too much.

I am reduced so.

Why do you still want...

You said you would go.

Why you didn't?

He is still sleeping?

Yes.

Soon it's the 5th tum.

Aren't you afraid he will hold you to account after he wakes up?

He won't.

I have served him for fifteen years.

After they catch me, you should tell him about these clothes.

Then...

But...

I can't see him.

No need.

I entered the palace at the age of eight.

And served him.

I know him so well.

No matter what I do,

he will forgive me in the end.

Not to mention,

it's only you.

15 years?

So you should go.

After they open the door, I will tell him you run out of the palace.

And then?

You just stay there.

Don't alarm others.

Then I will handle the rest.

I won't go.

You are forcing me.

Correct.

He is sleeping.

Did he have nightmares tonight?

Mother.

Nianzhi.

We should wake him up when he is having a nightmare.

He talks like a child at that time.

Your Royal Highness

Are you okay?

It's time to get up.

We have to go...

Wang.

I don't want to pay a visit to dad so early.

But in the daytime.

He'll forget everything.

You.

Now he can drink some wine.

Do you know who taught him?

So what half a year?

So what fifteen years?

In this world, everyone can change.

We can try.

But you can't see the result.

Guards.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Wang, let me sleep.

Get up.

Get dressed.

Your Royal Highness

Today we will go...

To the ministry of rites.

The breakfast is ready.

I won't eat it.

Why?

Soon the hostage sacrifice ceremony comes.

I have a lot of work to do.

But you can't work without breakfast.

The emperor won't assign works to the starved soldiers.

I'll eat in the ministry of rites.

Why are you so nagging now?

I am old now.

As people grow older, they will be nagging.

These days, I will be swamped.

So you and maid Chen should help me take care of the palace.

Where is maid Chen?

She is not on duty today.

You want to see her?

Nothing.

Your Royal Highness.

I told you, don't do this.

Why are you still...

Tell them stand up.

Hurry.

Get back to work.

You...

You called me Wang just now.

Get up.

Thank you, your Royal Highness.

Get up, get back to work.

You take the risk.

You are not scared...

I am scared.

I'm afraid of pain.

But I'm more afraid...

What did you throw around?

And.

I am worried I will have no chance to tell this.

Thank you, sister.

Stop it.

Wang.

Why are you here?

What's going on?

She did a mistake.

I am punishing her according to instructions.

Really according to instructions?

Yes.

Really punishment?

Yes.

Wang.

She is a maid.

It's my duty to punish her.

So please...

Who do you think you are talking to?

I am the crown prince's maid...

You can't...

I told him to slap you.

Your Royal Highness

But I'm more scared,

I can't get the oriole.

Then I won't trap the...

Thank you, brother.

I will send the horse back.

Keep it.

Wait.

That maid...

You know her?

Brother.

My horse really ran away.

Run away?

Why is she so bold?

It's not the first time.

I mean the horse.

Me, too.

This is the princess'...

What's happened?

Stop asking.

Attendant Wang took her back just now.

What about maid Chen?

Stop asking.

Yesterday the crown prince gave you the decree.

Gu is weak, the punishment suspended.

You didn't hear it?

I heard it.

I didn't want to...

But last night she wanted to sneak out.

Someone told me at dawn.

I don't want to wake you up.

So I punish her without your permission.

The palace door is closed.

She wanted to sneak out?

She is a coward of guilt and punishment.

Nonsense.

How can she be not afraid?

You think she should wait for you to beat her to death?

Wang.

What are you talking about?

She said this?

It's her...

You said just now.

Someone reported you at dawn.

You don't want to wake up the crown prince.

Then where were you last night?

I was on duty.

But it's not your night shift.

I changed it last night.

Till someone reported, before you left, you were on the night shift.

So you were inside or outside?

Both.

Both.

Then we know it.

Know?

You ran so quickly yesterday.

You didn't notice?

You forgot something.

What?

Your Royal Highness.

Anything else to ask?

She doesn't remember.

Wang picked it up at the door.

Someone ordered you to...

She knows the princess' case.

We should remove the flaw, right?

Your Royal Highness

All my negligence.

I couldn't expect...

Can you tell me why my brother's handwriting is in your...

hands?

Head up.

Look at me.

It's a pity that the jades have some flaws.

We should remove them when the time comes.

Even if you want to get rid of the oriole, it will damage my reputation.

You just need to repeat what you said

in front of the crown prince in Zongzheng Temple.

Prince.

The flawed things won't mind more flaws.

I really believe...

Maybe.

You really can capture the eagle.

Minister He.

You should check it.

Great.

Ok.

I'll send it out.

Tell me if any changes are needed.

So the crown prince is occupied.

I think we should start without him.

Okay.

We should prepare a preliminary plan.

Then...

No.

The crown prince presides over this in person.

We just prepare the plan.

And the crown prince will make the decision.

That's how we work.

What's wrong with it?

It's different now.

I said, no.

No.

So it's your decision or his?

The crown prince is here.

Your Royal Highness.

I get up late.

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

Sit.

What's going on here?

We are waiting for you.

I need some snacks.

We have so much work to do.

Why do you wait for me?

I am sorry.

Maid Chen.

Your Royal Highness

She...

Is she awake?

Your Royal Highness.

She is awake.

Your Royal Highness.

She woke up.

And left.

She said she can't stay here with her identity.

She demanded to leave.

You still have the strength to walk.

So you are more fierce than them.

The letter? You did it right?

How did you make it?

I even thought to let you go.

But you have made up your mind.

Correct.

For all the sinners, they need to atone for the sin.

Atone.

Speak so nicely.

You are as filthy as me.

No.

For you, it's not about personal grudge.

After I left that day, you persuaded her to go to Denghua palace, right?

I didn't want to go.

Actually, I don't want to tell you this.

It's about minister Zhang.

The crown prince gave the confession letter to the emperor.

He said it's his negligence.

We don't know how the emperor will handle this.

What?

At this time, I think we can't be the enemy with the consort.

Too many things happened after that.

It just occured to me.

Did someone tell you to instigate princess to change her mind, right?

You also told this to him?

No.

If I were you, I wouldn't wait till the eleventh hour.

Till then, I will have a dead end.

I will be embarrassed.

Fifteen years.

If you don't say it, he won't.

Then we can have a try.

This time, I can see the result.

Am I right?

I haven't asked your name.
