Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,960
Your Highness.
2
00:00:15,670 --> 00:00:16,960
Have you persuaded
3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,830
Prince Lie?
4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,280
Of course.
5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,480
A bold young man like Changying
is bound to lose his heart
6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,000
when he meets a woman as extraordinary
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,320
as the Commandery Princess.
8
00:00:27,390 --> 00:00:29,830
I couldn't bear to see
someone born to be a great general
9
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:30,912
trapped in the treacherous
10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,070
and calculated world
of the imperial capital.
11
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:36,240
What about you?
12
00:00:36,430 --> 00:00:37,000
Me?
13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,750
Someone as frail and sickly as I am
14
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:41,960
is better suited
for matters of the heart.
15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,790
Huayong.
16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,830
Changying?
17
00:00:53,150 --> 00:00:54,240
What are you doing here?
18
00:00:54,416 --> 00:00:55,840
I went to the East Palace earlier.
19
00:00:55,888 --> 00:00:58,020
The attendants said
you were in the Imperial Garden.
20
00:00:58,030 --> 00:00:59,150
So I came
21
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:00,390
to thank you in person.
22
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:02,560
We're brothers.
23
00:01:02,608 --> 00:01:04,016
There's no need for formalities.
24
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:05,640
Your words
25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,040
were a true awakening for me.
26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,310
I've decided to ask for Commandery
Princess Zhaoning's hand in marriage.
27
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:12,150
Between the Anlan Army
and the Northwest Army,
28
00:01:12,150 --> 00:01:13,120
I can only choose one.
29
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,300
I'm willing to give up
command of the Anlan Army
30
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,920
and serve under the Duke of Wei
31
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:20,790
as one of the Northwest Army.
32
00:01:20,912 --> 00:01:22,896
This is my pledge
to the commandery princess.
33
00:01:22,944 --> 00:01:24,896
It will also fulfill my wish
to defend our homeland
34
00:01:24,944 --> 00:01:26,368
and fight on the battlefield.
35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,560
I...
36
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,200
Is that
37
00:01:34,870 --> 00:01:36,230
what I meant?
38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Rest assured, Huayong.
39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,950
I'll never tell Changqing
about your advice.
40
00:01:42,096 --> 00:01:43,510
At the hunting grounds that day,
41
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,256
you also confessed your feelings
to the Commandery Princess.
42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,560
Yet you still put my happiness first.
43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,510
I truly admire
44
00:01:50,576 --> 00:01:52,176
your generosity and character.
45
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,200
If one day
46
00:01:53,312 --> 00:01:54,920
I truly marry the Commandery Princess,
47
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,790
the first person
48
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:57,280
I'll thank will be you.
49
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,936
I'll take my leave.
50
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:06,920
Your Highness.
51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,800
So this is how you persuaded Prince Lie?
52
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:37,696
=Blossoms of Power=
53
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,544
(Adapted from the novel, After My
Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)
54
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:43,540
=Episode 8=
55
00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:52,630
How lovely.
56
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,910
Come take a look.
57
00:03:56,150 --> 00:03:58,430
Mother, come have something delicious.
58
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,910
It's the Double Ninth Festival.
59
00:04:00,910 --> 00:04:03,536
So many people have come to
Yunling Mountain to pray for blessings.
60
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:04,590
Your Highness.
61
00:04:04,624 --> 00:04:05,632
I prepared five color cakes
62
00:04:05,632 --> 00:04:07,712
and chrysanthemum liquor
early this morning.
63
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Shall we find a place
to rest for a while?
64
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,080
All right.
65
00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:13,360
Your Highness.
66
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:15,840
The pavilion is full of young ladies.
67
00:04:16,016 --> 00:04:17,310
Please rest here for a while.
68
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:18,680
I'll go buy you a kite.
69
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,950
Young Lady,
70
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:27,070
would you like a cornel bracelet?
71
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,270
There's only one left.
72
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,040
Thank you, Young Lady.
73
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,480
Let's rest up ahead.
74
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,950
All right.
75
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:07,920
Let's go.
76
00:05:08,830 --> 00:05:11,070
Such a sight is rarely seen.
77
00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:11,720
Indeed.
78
00:05:20,630 --> 00:05:23,310
- A snake!
- There is a snake!
79
00:05:36,896 --> 00:05:38,920
What's happening
on the mountaintop ahead?
80
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,720
Why is it so noisy?
81
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:41,190
Quick. Let's go take a look.
82
00:05:41,390 --> 00:05:41,830
All right.
83
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,630
Your Highness.
84
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,120
Be careful not to get hurt.
85
00:06:11,136 --> 00:06:12,680
- Please forgive us, Your Highness.
- Please forgive us, Your Highness.
86
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,800
- We failed to protect you.
- We failed to protect you.
87
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:15,560
Get up.
88
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,750
This isn't your fault.
89
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,430
Your Highness!
90
00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:20,240
I have failed you.
91
00:06:20,304 --> 00:06:21,750
I should never have left your side.
92
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:22,430
You too, get up.
93
00:06:23,472 --> 00:06:25,072
There's no need to blame yourself.
94
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,920
They were after me all along.
95
00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:30,160
Who would use such a vicious method?
96
00:06:31,856 --> 00:06:33,584
We've already caught the culprit.
97
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:34,360
Move.
98
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,390
Let's go.
99
00:06:43,870 --> 00:06:46,480
Today, Tian Yuan and I came here
to pray for blessings.
100
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:47,310
When it happened,
101
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,040
we were halfway up the mountain.
102
00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:51,480
He must be the culprit.
103
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:53,270
Why are you arresting me?
104
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,750
You can't just seize people at random!
105
00:06:54,750 --> 00:06:55,830
Is there no justice left?
106
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,240
The powerful are killing people!
107
00:06:57,310 --> 00:06:59,040
They treat human lives like nothing!
108
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,560
Everyone rushed toward the pavilion
109
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,800
to see what had happened.
110
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Then why were you
111
00:07:04,032 --> 00:07:05,380
the only one heading the other way?
112
00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:06,920
I had an urgent matter at home.
113
00:07:06,976 --> 00:07:08,800
Was I not allowed
to hurry down the mountain?
114
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,190
You handled snakes
to keep from being bitten,
115
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:13,160
so you covered your hands with realgar.
116
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,040
Why would an ordinary hiker
117
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:17,190
coat both hands with realgar?
118
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,560
I've been bitten by snakes before.
119
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,630
I use realgar to keep them away.
120
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,160
What law have I broken?
121
00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:28,160
Little girl, come here.
122
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,630
Tell me,
123
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,270
who told you
124
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,830
to sell me this cornel bracelet?
125
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:36,360
It was him.
126
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,560
You little brat!
127
00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:40,240
How can you make up such lies?
128
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,630
You're talking nonsense!
129
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:44,950
You sprinkled snake lure powder on it
130
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:46,480
to attract venomous snakes.
131
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,160
The cornel
132
00:07:48,192 --> 00:07:49,856
masked the scent
of the snake lure powder.
133
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,632
The evidence and witnesses are all here.
134
00:07:51,808 --> 00:07:53,456
What else do you
have to say for yourself?
135
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:54,000
I...
136
00:07:55,792 --> 00:07:57,070
Still not telling the truth?
137
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,390
It was the second young lady
of Vice Minister Hu's family.
138
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,950
I had no choice but to obey.
139
00:08:04,270 --> 00:08:05,480
(It's Hu Yingrao.)
140
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:12,630
Tian Yuan.
141
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,600
Hand this man over to Cui Jinbai.
142
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:16,390
He'll take care of the rest.
143
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,190
Yes.
144
00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:20,680
Let's go.
145
00:08:27,584 --> 00:08:28,830
It's rare to come up here.
146
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:30,750
Don't let that wretched girl
147
00:08:30,848 --> 00:08:32,320
from the Hu family spoil your mood.
148
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,360
Allow me to treat you to some tea.
149
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:36,496
What do you say?
150
00:08:43,510 --> 00:08:45,550
Had Your Highness
not captured the culprit,
151
00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:47,000
he would've escaped by now.
152
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,150
Thank you, Your Highness.
153
00:08:49,968 --> 00:08:51,456
There's no need for thanks.
154
00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:52,670
Your business
155
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:53,910
is my business.
156
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:04,630
How do you intend
157
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:06,440
to deal with Hu Yingrao?
158
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,670
Seat her
159
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,390
where I was sitting in the pavilion.
160
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:15,240
Release the venomous snakes.
161
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,750
Whether she's bitten
162
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:19,150
or falls off the cliff
163
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,000
will depend on her own fate.
164
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,630
You are as decisive as ever.
165
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:26,960
Truly bold and heroic.
166
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:35,120
Do you think Hu Yingrao targeted you
167
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,960
simply because of your beauty?
168
00:09:41,664 --> 00:09:43,870
Hu Yingrao is a distant relative
of Noble Consort Rong.
169
00:09:43,904 --> 00:09:45,990
She has come and gone
from the palace since childhood.
170
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Noble Consort Rong dotes on her greatly.
171
00:09:48,272 --> 00:09:50,576
She has always hoped to unite
the families through marriage.
172
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,510
She is the one Noble Consort Rong
173
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,150
truly wanted to become
174
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,360
Prince Lie's consort.
175
00:10:17,024 --> 00:10:18,096
Please enjoy your tea.
176
00:10:23,860 --> 00:10:26,340
(Duke of Wei's Manor)
177
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,910
There's some skin balm in here.
178
00:10:28,390 --> 00:10:29,480
It's highly effective
179
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:30,550
for cuts and bruises.
180
00:10:31,790 --> 00:10:33,630
My apologies, Prince Lie.
181
00:10:33,664 --> 00:10:35,310
The Commandery Princess
gave strict orders
182
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,030
that nothing may be accepted.
183
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,960
And...
184
00:10:38,750 --> 00:10:39,910
she won't see you either.
185
00:10:43,030 --> 00:10:44,030
She means
186
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,750
to draw a clear line between us?
187
00:10:48,784 --> 00:10:51,360
The Commandery Princess
has never had feelings for you.
188
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:32,300
(Duke of Wei's Manor)
189
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Your Highness.
190
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Prince Lie is still standing
outside the gate.
191
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,390
At this rate,
he'll stand there all night.
192
00:12:00,448 --> 00:12:01,750
The rain is coming down so hard.
193
00:12:01,870 --> 00:12:03,270
Won't he get sick?
194
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,440
Go tell him
195
00:12:05,632 --> 00:12:07,536
he's free to stand
in the rain wherever he likes.
196
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,000
Just not in front
of Duke of Wei's Manor.
197
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,150
Your Highness.
198
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,440
Prince Lie is deeply devoted to you.
199
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:16,030
Don't you think
200
00:12:16,390 --> 00:12:17,840
you're being too harsh?
201
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,270
One moment you show concern,
202
00:12:19,328 --> 00:12:20,512
the next you soften your heart.
203
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:22,440
How long can this back and forth go on?
204
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Indecision only brings more trouble.
205
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:29,390
Yes.
206
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Your Highness.
207
00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:38,000
Will you still meet
the Crown Prince tomorrow?
208
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,150
Yes.
209
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,550
The Crown Prince is rather strange.
210
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,790
Your Highness, your injuries
delayed you for several days.
211
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:46,670
The Double Ninth Festival
has already ended.
212
00:12:46,752 --> 00:12:48,600
Why does he still
want you to go up the tower?
213
00:12:49,232 --> 00:12:51,510
I gave him my word
that I'd accompany him up the tower.
214
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,360
I intend to keep it.
215
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:02,460
(Favorable Weather
and Abundant Harvests)
216
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:03,550
Your Highness.
217
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,480
The Double Ninth Festival is over.
218
00:13:06,032 --> 00:13:07,720
The lantern market
has already been cleared.
219
00:13:08,670 --> 00:13:11,000
You invited me up here
to admire the lanterns.
220
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Which lanterns did you wish to show me?
221
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:38,840
Do you like it,
222
00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:41,200
even just a little?
223
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,910
Fireworks are beautiful,
224
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,750
but they fade in an instant,
225
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,840
leaving only lingering regret.
226
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,210
♪The timeless wind and moon♪
227
00:14:25,790 --> 00:14:29,400
♪Quietly reflect in your sparkling eyes♪
228
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,256
Commandery Princess.
229
00:14:30,368 --> 00:14:32,000
Every lantern across the city tonight
230
00:14:32,032 --> 00:14:33,720
was specially made
at Crown Prince's command
231
00:14:33,792 --> 00:14:35,030
and delivered to every household.
232
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:38,224
The palace invited eminent monks
to offer prayers and blessings.
233
00:14:38,288 --> 00:14:40,360
Any household that keeps
its lanterns lit until dawn
234
00:14:40,670 --> 00:14:41,960
will receive the monks' blessings.
235
00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:43,480
That's why
236
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,000
the people have all joined in eagerly.
237
00:14:45,790 --> 00:14:47,030
It's even grander than
238
00:14:47,390 --> 00:14:48,870
the Double Ninth Lantern Festival.
239
00:14:49,770 --> 00:14:53,570
♪Not a trace of sorrow can be found♪
240
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,080
I can feel
241
00:15:06,064 --> 00:15:07,696
the thought you put into all this.
242
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,440
I simply took the opportunity
243
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,440
to bring you
244
00:15:15,150 --> 00:15:16,120
a little joy.
245
00:15:24,030 --> 00:15:24,960
Thank you
246
00:15:25,024 --> 00:15:27,380
for letting me behold
the splendor of the imperial capital.
247
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:28,440
The wind is strong up here.
248
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,336
You shouldn't stay out
and catch a chill.
249
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,150
We should head back.
250
00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:36,480
All right.
251
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,504
I'll walk you back.
252
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:49,510
By the way,
253
00:15:51,270 --> 00:15:52,200
how are your injuries?
254
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,848
I had that ointment
prepared especially for you.
255
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,600
Thank you for your kindness.
256
00:16:02,832 --> 00:16:04,736
With such
a beautiful display of lanterns,
257
00:16:05,150 --> 00:16:06,550
I'd like to stroll a little longer.
258
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,550
All right.
259
00:16:25,392 --> 00:16:27,104
There's something I'd like to tell you.
260
00:16:29,504 --> 00:16:31,072
What happened with the Hu family
261
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,352
was my fault for involving you.
262
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:35,240
I came to apologize.
263
00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:37,790
It's already over.
264
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,200
I'm unharmed.
265
00:16:39,216 --> 00:16:40,720
Please don't worry, Prince Lie.
266
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,848
Commandery Princess.
267
00:16:48,576 --> 00:16:50,336
What is it about me
that isn't good enough?
268
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,112
Everyone has their own preference.
269
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Just because you have feelings for me,
270
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,720
does that mean I have to be grateful?
271
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,120
That's not what I meant.
272
00:16:58,270 --> 00:16:59,600
I've told you before.
273
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Don't set your heart on me.
274
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,750
I've already given my heart away!
275
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:10,310
I can never take it back!
276
00:17:11,590 --> 00:17:13,790
That's just how life is.
277
00:17:13,856 --> 00:17:15,630
There will always be
things beyond our reach.
278
00:17:15,648 --> 00:17:16,896
I hope you will soon let go.
279
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:29,830
Changqing.
280
00:17:33,310 --> 00:17:33,920
Changying.
281
00:17:35,550 --> 00:17:36,310
Let's go.
282
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,830
A young lady like her
283
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,240
can't be won over
284
00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:45,640
by persistence.
285
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,070
But...
286
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,590
The more you cling to her,
287
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,440
the more determined she'll be
288
00:17:53,750 --> 00:17:54,750
to leave you.
289
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,030
Have we come a little too far?
290
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,880
Then please rest here for a moment.
291
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:14,310
I'll go bring the carriage over.
292
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,920
All right.
293
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:43,920
Your Highness!
294
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,790
Your Highness!
295
00:19:04,928 --> 00:19:07,030
Noble Consort Rong
may look kind, but she's ruthless.
296
00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:08,110
Her methods are vicious.
297
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:09,440
Anyone who knows the truth
298
00:19:09,584 --> 00:19:11,312
would never want
to marry into that family
299
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:12,830
and serve a mother-in-law like her.
300
00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:16,750
Still, both Changqing and Changying
301
00:19:17,070 --> 00:19:19,070
are unwaveringly devoted,
302
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,110
each deeply in love.
303
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,830
Your Highness.
304
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,270
You must come up with a plan quickly.
305
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,030
Otherwise,
306
00:19:25,104 --> 00:19:26,550
if you don't root out the problem,
307
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,110
it will only return.
308
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,000
How have we walked this far
309
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,240
without seeing Zhaoning?
310
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:33,110
Speak.
311
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,400
Who sent you?
312
00:20:39,536 --> 00:20:41,968
Your Highness, he bit down
on poison and killed himself.
313
00:20:46,590 --> 00:20:47,240
Xihe.
314
00:20:50,352 --> 00:20:51,540
Tian Yuan, prepare the horses.
315
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:51,960
Yes.
316
00:21:02,496 --> 00:21:04,580
The Commandery Princess's
pulse is extremely unstable.
317
00:21:04,590 --> 00:21:05,504
I've used acupuncture
318
00:21:05,568 --> 00:21:07,616
to temporarily stabilize
her heart meridian.
319
00:21:08,270 --> 00:21:09,830
But even if she wakes tomorrow,
320
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:11,968
if she doesn't receive better treatment,
321
00:21:12,510 --> 00:21:15,880
I'm afraid she'll spend the rest
of her life confined to this sickbed.
322
00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:29,480
Just tell the Commandery Princess
323
00:21:31,030 --> 00:21:32,400
that she needs complete rest.
324
00:21:33,168 --> 00:21:34,768
Don't tell her anything else for now.
325
00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:36,000
Yes.
326
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,030
Your Highness.
327
00:21:44,350 --> 00:21:45,270
I found
328
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,790
traces of liquor in the body.
329
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,880
The assassin drank Jieqianchou.
330
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,310
Jieqianchou is an imperial liquor.
331
00:21:55,488 --> 00:21:56,960
It's only available in the palace.
332
00:21:57,024 --> 00:21:58,440
A fixed amount is issued every year,
333
00:21:58,750 --> 00:22:00,110
and every bottle is accounted for.
334
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:01,880
We only need to find out
335
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,240
who gave him the Jieqianchou,
336
00:22:04,550 --> 00:22:05,510
and we'll know
337
00:22:05,790 --> 00:22:06,720
who
338
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,830
tried to harm Zhaoning.
339
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:11,110
I'll investigate it at once.
340
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,568
Still no word from Hua Fuhai
about the Extreme Frost Cordyceps?
341
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,720
Only that medicine
342
00:22:18,816 --> 00:22:20,912
can stabilize
Commandery Princess's heart meridian.
343
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,480
I've already sent people to inquire.
344
00:22:22,832 --> 00:22:24,176
It grows on the highest peaks
345
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,590
of the frozen wilderness.
346
00:22:26,336 --> 00:22:28,480
The experts we've sent
have risked their lives,
347
00:22:29,024 --> 00:22:30,592
yet still haven't found it.
348
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,480
Physician Xie.
349
00:22:59,590 --> 00:23:00,720
Why are her hands so cold?
350
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:22,270
You're awake.
351
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:25,030
It's you.
352
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,310
Come.
353
00:23:33,872 --> 00:23:35,248
What do you mean, "it's you"?
354
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,270
I thought
355
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,000
the one who saved me
356
00:23:41,270 --> 00:23:42,110
was you.
357
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:53,920
I wish it had been.
358
00:23:55,590 --> 00:23:56,680
But the one who saved you
359
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,480
was my guard.
360
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:06,750
Still, hearing you say that
361
00:24:07,310 --> 00:24:08,200
makes me very happy.
362
00:24:13,904 --> 00:24:14,920
Commandery Princess.
363
00:24:16,256 --> 00:24:18,704
I have urgent business
that requires me to leave the capital.
364
00:24:19,070 --> 00:24:20,160
Take good care of yourself.
365
00:24:20,510 --> 00:24:22,160
I'll come see you again in a few days.
366
00:24:26,790 --> 00:24:27,880
Take care.
367
00:24:43,270 --> 00:24:44,590
Do you know
368
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,070
how much I wished you'd ask me
369
00:24:50,310 --> 00:24:51,440
where I was going
370
00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:54,070
and what I was going to do?
371
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,590
I'm sure you have your reasons.
372
00:24:57,550 --> 00:24:58,720
There's no need for me to ask.

Your Highness,

are you truly going in person?
375
00:25:11,856 --> 00:25:14,000
The extreme cold will worsen
the poison inside your body.
376
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:15,110
The danger will be immense.
377

378
00:25:31,270 --> 00:25:32,830

379
00:25:34,750 --> 00:25:36,240

he said that at this time of year,
389
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,710
the foreign kingdoms
would present pomegranates as tribute.
390
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,648
They're juicy and sweet.
391
00:27:17,690 --> 00:27:20,230
Their juice can be used to
make pastries for Commandery Princess.
392
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,380
They're especially delicious.
393
00:27:21,904 --> 00:27:23,536
Please thank the Crown Prince for me.

00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,504

Your Highness.

This Extreme Frost Cordyceps
is incredibly rare.

00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,680
Just its fragrance alone
437
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,000
is enough to refresh the spirit.
438
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,720
It was sent again by Hua Fuhai?
439
00:30:52,030 --> 00:30:53,720
What is the Tagara Incense
440
00:30:54,510 --> 00:30:55,510
behind him really after?
441
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,350
Your Highness,
this medicine is hard to come by.
442
00:30:59,070 --> 00:31:00,830
Your health must come first.
443
00:31:01,550 --> 00:31:02,030
Here.
444
00:31:09,328 --> 00:31:11,488
How is the investigation
into the assassin going?
445
00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:13,880
Following the Crown Prince's orders,
446
00:31:14,070 --> 00:31:16,000
I found the records on
where the Jieqianchou went.
447
00:31:16,550 --> 00:31:17,920
According to Physician Xie,
448
00:31:18,110 --> 00:31:19,550
the assassin didn't drink it that day.
449
00:31:19,550 --> 00:31:21,110
He drank it the day before,
450
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,480
and at least 250 g.
451
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,400
250 g?
452
00:31:27,088 --> 00:31:28,920
Drinking before carrying out
the assassination
453
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,510
to steady his nerves is understandable.
454
00:31:31,750 --> 00:31:33,200
But 250 g...
455
00:31:33,210 --> 00:31:35,150
Wouldn't he be afraid
it would affect the mission?
456
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,544
Based on the condition of the body,
457
00:31:36,544 --> 00:31:38,950
Physician Xie concluded the assassin
was likely from the south.
458
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,440
I also asked Young Master Bu for help.
459
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:43,296
But none of the southerners living in
or staying in the imperial capital
460
00:31:43,328 --> 00:31:44,170
are under suspicion.
461
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:46,030
Drinking heavily
before the assassination,
462
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,200
then taking poison
the moment he was exposed,
463
00:31:48,510 --> 00:31:50,110
shows he was prepared to die.
464
00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:52,920
Perhaps that flask of Jieqianchou
465
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,960
was his reward.
466
00:31:54,310 --> 00:31:55,880
A final taste before dying.
467
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:57,400
Mo Yu.
468
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,510
Go find Young Master Bu,
469
00:32:00,070 --> 00:32:02,070
and ask him
to bring Vice Minister Cui here.
470
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Yes.
471
00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:10,680
Young Master.
472
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,110
- What's wrong?
- Young Master.
473
00:32:12,110 --> 00:32:13,400
- You're ruining my plans.
- You really can't go in.
474
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,200
The Lord isn't here.
475
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:14,750
Jinbai.
476
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:16,110
Feeling shy?
477
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:21,510
Let him in.
478
00:32:25,312 --> 00:32:27,160
Vice Minister Cui
is upright and honorable,
479
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,672
yet this playboy keeps pestering him
480
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,160
and ruining his reputation everywhere.
481
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Outrageous.
482
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speak.
483
00:32:38,110 --> 00:32:39,510
Can't I come
484
00:32:40,550 --> 00:32:42,000
to see you?
485
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,590
A little flirting is harmless.
486
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,110
But drawing a blade
487
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:54,750
hurts our friendship.
488
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:06,590
Wait.
489
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:15,590
Shameless...
490
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:23,110
Young Master.
491
00:33:23,110 --> 00:33:24,110
(The Greatest Form Is Formless)
You can't do this.
492
00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:25,720
- Where are you going?
- What's going on?
493
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,416
Out of the way.
494
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:45,472
Go get a wet cloth,
495
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,480
and bring an incense sachet
to help revive him.
496
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:48,160
Yes.
497
00:34:06,110 --> 00:34:06,790
You're awake?
498
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,000
Want some?
499
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:08,710
You...
500
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Mind yourself.
501
00:34:10,784 --> 00:34:12,544
Please don't take offense,
Your Highness.
502
00:34:16,670 --> 00:34:17,480
Your Highness.
503
00:34:17,792 --> 00:34:19,400
I was the one who invited you here.
504
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,920
If I've been disrespectful,
505
00:34:21,230 --> 00:34:22,630
please forgive me.
506
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,190
How may I assist you, Your Highness?
507
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:27,520
I suspect someone
508
00:34:27,568 --> 00:34:29,320
was a death row inmate
who was switched out
509
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,670
from the imperial prison.
510
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,400
I'd like to ask you to investigate.
511
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,190
Vice Minister Cui works remarkably fast.
512
00:34:46,110 --> 00:34:47,440
Aren't you on duty today?
513
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,440
You neglect your duties all day long.
514
00:34:49,472 --> 00:34:51,536
Aren't you afraid
the Grand Censor will impeach you?
515
00:34:52,590 --> 00:34:53,590
Grand Censor Tao knows
516
00:34:53,590 --> 00:34:55,552
the Commandery Princess and I
are close friends.
517
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,760
He'd never impeach me.
518
00:35:02,190 --> 00:35:02,800
Your Highness.
519
00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:04,260
I've thoroughly investigated
520
00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:06,170
every government office
in the imperial capital.
521
00:35:06,208 --> 00:35:07,808
I did find the man you were looking for.
522
00:35:08,110 --> 00:35:09,590
The condemned man was named Zhang Zhuo.
523
00:35:09,632 --> 00:35:10,840
The one who bought his life
524
00:35:11,070 --> 00:35:12,920
was a poor scholar named Fu Jin.
525
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:14,208
He's from Xianning Commandery.
526
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:17,280
A poor scholar?
527
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,880
Why would he try to kill me?
528
00:35:22,070 --> 00:35:23,030
Was he
529
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:24,760
close to any powerful officials?
530
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:26,800
He kept to himself.
531
00:35:26,864 --> 00:35:27,792
His neighbors also said
532
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,660
they never saw any wealthy
or influential people
533
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:30,512
visiting his home.
534
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:33,920
Xianning Commandery...
535
00:35:38,510 --> 00:35:39,630
If I remember correctly,
536
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:41,590
the Bian family's ancestral home
537
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,590
was Xianning.
538
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,320
The Bian family?
539
00:35:44,510 --> 00:35:45,960
Isn't Bian Xianyi the only one left?
540
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,670
She has a grudge against you?
541
00:35:49,150 --> 00:35:50,510
I'm only making a guess.
542
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,230
An ancestral home alone
543
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,280
proves nothing.
544
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,840
Why waste time thinking about it?
545
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,710
I'll have her arrested
546
00:35:55,808 --> 00:35:57,070
and beaten until she talks...
547
00:36:02,510 --> 00:36:03,360
Then
548
00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:07,030
arrest Fu Jin?
549
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,360
I have plenty of ways
550
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,670
to deal with
a delicate young scholar like him.
551
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,000
Young Master Bu.
552
00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:16,320
This is the imperial capital.
553
00:36:16,592 --> 00:36:18,560
You may disregard propriety
and indulge yourself,
554
00:36:18,624 --> 00:36:21,376
but you must never behave so frivolously
before the Commandery Princess.
555
00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:24,190
Forget it.
556
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,320
I'll watch my words from now on.
557
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,320
I won't
558
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,920
offend Your Highness's ears again.
559
00:36:42,550 --> 00:36:43,190
Your Highness.
560
00:36:43,232 --> 00:36:45,680
Fu Jin is a poor scholar
who has earned official qualifications.
561
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,880
I hope Your Highness
can allow me a little more time.
562
00:36:47,952 --> 00:36:49,110
I'll investigate him in secret.
563
00:36:49,328 --> 00:36:50,976
No need to trouble a second person.
564
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,280
My health is failing.
565
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:54,440
With your help,
566
00:36:54,590 --> 00:36:55,480
I'd be most grateful.
567
00:36:57,670 --> 00:36:58,590
I take my leave.
568
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,000
Your Highness.
569
00:37:17,392 --> 00:37:19,180
According to
Vice Minister Cui's investigation,
570
00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:21,536
Bian Xianyi was indeed
connected to the assassin, Fu Jin.
571
00:37:21,664 --> 00:37:23,110
The two were childhood sweethearts
572
00:37:23,110 --> 00:37:24,000
and grew up together.
573
00:37:24,176 --> 00:37:25,670
By the time our men went to arrest him,
574
00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:27,072
he was already dead at home.
575
00:37:28,710 --> 00:37:29,400
Your Highness.
576
00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:31,248
Bian Xianyi invites you
to have tea with her.
577
00:37:31,250 --> 00:37:33,168
She says she has something
important to tell you.
578
00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:35,550
I hadn't even gone looking for her,
579
00:37:36,070 --> 00:37:37,590
yet she came to me first.
580
00:37:51,070 --> 00:37:51,960
I...
581
00:37:52,110 --> 00:37:53,320
ask Your Highness's forgiveness.
582
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,110
I trust Your Highness
has already guessed
583
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,710
that I invited you because of Fu Jin's
584
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,150
attempt to kill you.
585
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
So you admit
586
00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:05,710
you knew Fu Jin?
587
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:08,960
Fu Jin and I
588
00:38:10,030 --> 00:38:11,590
have known each other since childhood.
589
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,480
The day my family was convicted,
590
00:38:15,190 --> 00:38:17,280
he promised
he would find a way to save me.
591
00:38:18,070 --> 00:38:19,510
So I counted the days,
592
00:38:19,568 --> 00:38:20,944
waiting for him for eight years.
593
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,280
But as far as I know,
594
00:38:23,070 --> 00:38:24,150
all these years,
595
00:38:24,288 --> 00:38:26,760
you and the Sixth Prince
have been devoted to each other.
596
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,880
I never had feelings
for the Sixth Prince.
597
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,760
I claimed I refused
to become a concubine
598
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,280
and kept stringing him along.
599
00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:37,150
At first, I was afraid of losing
my only source of protection.
600
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,840
Later, I only hoped
601
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,400
to see Fu Jin again one day.
602
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,110
Your Highness must think I'm despicable
603
00:38:47,550 --> 00:38:48,800
and utterly shameless.
604
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,070
I don't think that.
605
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:54,590
You're stunningly beautiful,
606
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,230
and only a dancer.
607
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:58,550
Without the Sixth Prince's protection,
608
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,736
how could you
have lived in peace until now?
609
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:04,840
Thank you, Your Highness.
610
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:07,000
But that's beside the point.
611
00:39:07,136 --> 00:39:09,920
You never should have
dragged me into this again and again.
612
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,800
Did you want to kill me,
613
00:39:13,904 --> 00:39:15,824
or were you acting
under someone's orders?
614
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:18,920
Forgive me,
615
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,030
but I cannot say.
616
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,216
Then you were acting
under someone's orders.
617
00:39:40,110 --> 00:39:41,280
Why did you take poison?
618
00:39:42,670 --> 00:39:43,320
She...
619
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,150
She told me
620
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,920
that if I poisoned Your Highness,
621
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,550
she would let Fu Jin
and me leave together.
622
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,510
But I know
623
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,190
Fu Jin is already dead.
624
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,840
Now I can go to him.
625
00:39:56,190 --> 00:39:57,510
No one can stop me.
626
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,230
This is the only way
627
00:40:01,630 --> 00:40:03,400
I can protect my family.
628
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
629
00:40:08,510 --> 00:40:09,230
Someone!
630
00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:10,280
Someone, quickly!
631
00:40:46,510 --> 00:40:47,360
Your Highness,
632
00:40:47,670 --> 00:40:49,710
this poison was refined
from poisonous mushrooms.
633
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,110
It can destroy
all five vital organs in an instant.
634
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,230
How could
635
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:02,230
such a poison exist in the palace?
636
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:07,760
Noble Consort Rong,
637
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,440
Bian Xianyi invited me to tea.
638
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,320
But unexpectedly,
639
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,904
she took poison and killed herself.
640
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,230
Your Highness,
641
00:41:15,590 --> 00:41:17,070
there was indeed poison
642
00:41:17,070 --> 00:41:17,960
in both teacups.
643
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Noble Consort Rong,
644
00:41:20,510 --> 00:41:22,400
Bian Xianyi brewed the tea herself.
645
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,760
Many palace attendants
saw her in the tea room.
646
00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:27,190
She also said something strange today.
647
00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:28,304
She said that in the future,
648
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,220
she might not be able
to have tea with us again.
649
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,030
In that case,
650
00:41:34,030 --> 00:41:35,670
the truth is clear.
651
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,550
I have also heard
652
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,400
about Bian Xianyi and the Sixth Prince.
653
00:41:42,550 --> 00:41:43,960
Presumably, the Sixth Prince
654
00:41:44,016 --> 00:41:46,416
intended to ask for
Commandery Princess's hand in public.
655
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,710
Driven by jealousy,
656
00:41:48,784 --> 00:41:50,208
Bian Xianyi made a grave mistake
657
00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:52,590
and took her own life out of guilt.
658
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,510
In that case,
659
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,550
have her body
660
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,630
removed according
661
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:00,440
to palace rules.
662
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,110
- Yes.
- Yes.
663
00:42:07,150 --> 00:42:08,360
Your Highness
664
00:42:08,550 --> 00:42:10,230
must have been frightened today.
665
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,710
Why not come to my palace
666
00:42:13,630 --> 00:42:14,920
for some calming tea?
667
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,710
Thank you, Noble Consort Rong.
668
00:42:17,230 --> 00:42:19,030
I'm rather tired.
669
00:42:19,104 --> 00:42:20,480
I would like to return and rest.
670
00:42:22,070 --> 00:42:22,880
Very well.
671
00:42:24,030 --> 00:42:26,190
I will not insist.
672
00:42:27,070 --> 00:42:27,710
You may go.
673
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,360
(There are many suspicious details.)
674
00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:53,710
(Who is behind all this?)
675
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:55,920
(Right now,)
676
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,960
(I have no one to discuss this with.)
677
00:43:38,180 --> 00:43:41,940
(East Palace)
678
00:43:47,380 --> 00:43:51,180
(East Palace)
679
00:44:08,190 --> 00:44:09,360
This marriage
680
00:44:09,584 --> 00:44:10,840
has nothing to do with love.
681
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,320
Someone with little time left
682
00:44:12,590 --> 00:44:14,030
and no ability to fight back
683
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,510
is exactly what I need.
684
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,304
Commandery Princess Zhaoning
grew up in the northwest.
685
00:44:18,304 --> 00:44:20,550
Every lady from the northwest
knows how to ride.
686
00:44:20,550 --> 00:44:21,480
Today,
687
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,840
let us see for ourselves.
688
00:44:22,890 --> 00:44:24,920
Commandery Princess
fell from her horse into a ravine
689
00:44:24,930 --> 00:44:25,936
and remains missing.
