Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:03,790
Ride the horsey.
2
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,150
Father, faster!
3
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,840
Are you having fun?
4
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:11,590
Yes.
5
00:01:16,150 --> 00:01:17,040
Crown Prince.
6
00:01:17,430 --> 00:01:17,950
Here.
7
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,790
Is it good?
8
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,480
What's wrong?
9
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,480
What's wrong?
10
00:01:34,608 --> 00:01:35,696
Call the Imperial Physician!
11
00:01:35,710 --> 00:01:36,760
Call the Imperial Physician!
12
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,112
Hurry! Call the Imperial Physician!
13
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,710
Someone, hurry!
14
00:01:38,710 --> 00:01:40,150
- Your Highness!
- Huayong!
15
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:40,920
Huayong!
16
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,480
Your Highness!
17
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:41,950
Huayong!
18
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:42,760
Your Highness!
19
00:03:30,580 --> 00:03:31,610
=Blossoms of Power=
20
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:34,420
(Adapted from the novel, After My
Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)
21
00:03:34,432 --> 00:03:37,220
=Episode 2=
22
00:03:46,540 --> 00:03:48,850
Commandery Princess Zhaoning
arrives in the Imperial Capital.
23
00:03:48,864 --> 00:03:51,136
Will she bring the northwest
style of makeup with her?
24
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,896
I wonder which prince His Majesty
25
00:03:52,912 --> 00:03:55,230
will betroth the commandery princess
from the northwest to.
26
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Anyone but
that short-lived Crown Prince.
27
00:03:57,472 --> 00:03:59,280
Any of the other princes
could be a match.
28
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:04,700
(Tingyun Villa)
29
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:06,560
Move a little faster, all of you.
30
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,000
(Wedding Scrolls)
On the wedding day,
31
00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:11,450
the whole city will be filled
with lanterns and red decorations.
32
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:13,020
There won't be enough
red silk or lanterns to sell.
33
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:13,870
Young Master,
34
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,310
what can I get for you?
35
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,480
Well,
36
00:04:16,688 --> 00:04:18,288
(Wedding Scrolls)
I see you've stocked up
37
00:04:18,288 --> 00:04:19,700
on red silk for all the princes.
38
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,360
Why is there none for the Crown Prince?
39
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,830
Keep your voice down.
40
00:04:27,390 --> 00:04:29,310
That's a taboo.
41
00:04:29,408 --> 00:04:30,720
The Crown Prince was poisoned.
42
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,480
Everyone knows that.
43
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,750
How could the commandery princess
possibly marry him?
44
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,040
You truly
45
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000
have remarkable insight.
46
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,040
Of course.
47
00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:42,160
On this whole street,
48
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,920
no one has a sharper eye than I do,
49
00:04:44,832 --> 00:04:46,480
and see if there's anything you need.
50
00:04:48,220 --> 00:04:51,620
(Suzhou Post Station)
51
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,240
It seems Your Highness
has recovered well.
52
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:43,070
Now I can rest easy
53
00:05:43,070 --> 00:05:45,136
leaving Your Highness
in the local governor's care.
54
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,040
What do you mean?
55
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,696
Your Highness is a man unrelated to me.
56
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:48,950
I only came to your aid yesterday
57
00:05:48,950 --> 00:05:50,240
because the situation was urgent.
58
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,190
Now that Your Highness is out of danger,
59
00:05:53,232 --> 00:05:55,152
I should avoid
any appearance of impropriety.
60
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,750
Shen Xihe.
61
00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:03,360
I've been hunted
ever since leaving Guangling.
62
00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:05,264
Then I happened to run
into you at death's door.
63
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,040
Don't tell me
it was all just a coincidence.
64
00:06:07,050 --> 00:06:08,310
You've been back to the imperial capital
65
00:06:08,310 --> 00:06:09,584
to receive an imperial marriage.
66
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:13,070
You made me owe you my life,
67
00:06:13,424 --> 00:06:15,000
and stayed by my side day and night.
68
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:16,510
What's this?
69
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,720
Now you're putting on
an act of playing hard to get?
70
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,720
Hard to get?
71
00:06:23,728 --> 00:06:25,328
Have you forgotten, Your Highness,
72
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:27,270
that yesterday you were the one
73
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:28,480
who threw in the jade pendant?
74
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,190
As for status,
75
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,950
you are no match for the Crown Prince.
76
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,310
As for reputation,
77
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,070
you cannot compare to the Second Prince.
78
00:06:42,630 --> 00:06:43,600
As for looks,
79
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:45,270
you are far behind the Sixth Prince.
80
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,800
As for talent,
81
00:06:46,944 --> 00:06:49,616
you cannot compare to your
own elder brother, the Fifth Prince.
82
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,370
Why would I ever fall for you?
83
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,830
How dare you!
84
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,480
You saved my life.
85
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:38,310
I'll let it slide this time.
86
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,530
There's no need to feel indebted
to me, Your Highness.
87
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Let's just pretend we never met.
88
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Let's part ways here.
89
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:05,630
Your Highness.
90
00:08:08,510 --> 00:08:09,830
I've followed the trail
91
00:08:09,904 --> 00:08:11,240
and found the Jade Frost Flower.
92
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:12,600
But the hiding place
93
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,560
had already been dug up.
94
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,296
The Rouge Ledger is nowhere to be found.
95
00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:20,310
As for who took it,
96
00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:21,390
I have failed in my duty.
97
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:22,750
I still haven't found out.
98
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,510
Prepare the horses.
99
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:24,240
Your Highness.
100
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,160
They took our horses.
101
00:08:26,688 --> 00:08:27,830
There's only this one left
102
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,430
in the stable.
103
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,080
(Seriously injured. Not fit for riding.)
104
00:08:37,270 --> 00:08:38,790
She must have it.
105
00:08:40,030 --> 00:08:41,550
I really underestimated her.
106
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,750
Shen Xihe.
107
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:47,440
Just you wait.
108
00:08:52,784 --> 00:08:55,260
(Crown Prince, Prince Ning, Prince Ding,
Prince Yu, Prince Lie, Prince Xin)
109
00:08:55,270 --> 00:08:56,000
Your Highness,
110
00:08:56,270 --> 00:08:57,480
why does it seem
111
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,030
like you know these princes?
112
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Your Highness is even
better informed than me.
113
00:09:02,656 --> 00:09:03,792
Know your enemy and yourself,
114
00:09:03,792 --> 00:09:05,890
and you stand an equal chance
of victory or defeat.
115
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:07,728
Know neither your enemy nor yourself,
116
00:09:07,904 --> 00:09:09,080
and you'll lose every battle.
117
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,600
Marrying the wrong man
118
00:09:11,632 --> 00:09:13,030
is like entering the wrong forest.
119
00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:14,840
The path is full of thorns.
120
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:16,630
One should make plans
as early as possible.
121
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,720
The Second Prince, Prince Ning.
122
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,390
The Fourth Prince, Prince Ding.
123
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:22,000
The Sixth Prince, Prince Yu.
124
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:24,080
Among these three princes,
125
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:25,720
Prince Ning is the foremost.
126
00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:27,920
He is backed by a veteran
who has served three reigns,
127
00:09:27,936 --> 00:09:28,896
the Ministry of Justice,
128
00:09:28,896 --> 00:09:29,904
and the Ministry of Rites.
129
00:09:30,030 --> 00:09:31,790
The Ninth Prince, Prince Lie,
130
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,480
is Noble Consort Rong's second son.
131
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,390
Though still young,
he holds an exalted status.
132
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,270
Prince Lie is bold and high-spirited.
133
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,512
He will make
a formidable battlefield general.
134
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,270
Most importantly,
135
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,870
Changqing is there
to strategize for him.
136
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:49,360
The Fifth Prince, Prince Xin,
is exceptionally gifted.
137
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,360
But after Prince Xin's Consort
passed away,
138
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,600
he lost heart and turned to prayer.
139
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,944
He withdrew from worldly affairs.
140
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,910
Changqing has always been ambitious.
141
00:09:57,050 --> 00:09:59,720
Everyone thinks he's stayed out
of worldly affairs all these years.
142
00:10:00,016 --> 00:10:02,700
But they've forgotten what he was
like before Gu Qingzhi's downfall.
143
00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:06,030
How decisive
and meticulous Changqing was.
144
00:10:11,270 --> 00:10:12,870
- He will return.
- He will return.
145
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,840
Qingqing.
146
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,264
(The Late Lady Gu)
I failed to protect you back then.
147
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,790
It was my fault.
148
00:10:29,870 --> 00:10:32,512
Today, I oversaw the execution
of all 69 members of the Gu family.
149
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,270
Do you hate me?
150
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,510
Why should I?
151
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:36,240
The Gu family held too much power.
152
00:10:36,910 --> 00:10:39,000
The Fan family had long wanted us gone.
153
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,600
My father was outmatched.
154
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,080
He accepted defeat.
155
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,270
Gu Qingzhi.
156
00:10:45,390 --> 00:10:46,390
You have no heart.
157
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:49,960
Your blood runs cold.
158
00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:52,270
Only by being heartless
159
00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:54,030
can a lady
160
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:56,480
truly live free and happy.
161
00:10:57,870 --> 00:10:59,030
I wonder, Your Highness,
162
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:01,480
what you plan to do
163
00:11:01,870 --> 00:11:03,550
with me, the last survivor.
164
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,200
I pleaded with Father.
165
00:11:06,510 --> 00:11:08,320
You are still my Princess Consort.
166
00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:11,000
What an unwise decision.
167
00:11:11,632 --> 00:11:13,950
Protecting the powerless daughter
of a condemned official
168
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,232
who has nothing but a pretty face
169
00:11:15,312 --> 00:11:17,030
will only make more enemies for yourself
170
00:11:17,056 --> 00:11:19,360
and drive a wedge between you
and your trusted followers.
171
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,150
Your Highness should personally
see me on my way.
172
00:11:25,390 --> 00:11:26,200
Qingqing.
173
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,670
I, Xiao Changqing, swear on my life
174
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:34,440
to protect you
for the rest of your life.
175
00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:38,790
Your Highness, your love
176
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:41,510
is destined to be wasted on me.
177
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:46,150
This is Sangluo liquor,
178
00:11:46,910 --> 00:11:48,790
specially sent by the Fan family.
179
00:11:49,790 --> 00:11:51,080
A rare vintage.
180
00:11:56,910 --> 00:11:57,480
Qingqing.
181
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:58,910
Qingqing!
182
00:11:59,670 --> 00:12:00,840
Qingqing!
183
00:12:03,168 --> 00:12:04,870
(Qing)
The trap you risked your life to set
184
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,200
to bury the Fan family
with the Gu family,
185
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:10,630
I've carried through for you.
186
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,200
I'll stay by your side
187
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:18,510
until the day I die.
188
00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:27,840
Your Highness.
189
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:30,000
Prince Lie was ambushed.
190
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,680
Commandery Princess Zhaoning saved him,
191
00:12:31,728 --> 00:12:32,960
but stole the Rouge Ledger.
192
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Escort Prince Lie
back to the capital at once.
193
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,670
Recover the Rouge Ledger
194
00:12:43,390 --> 00:12:44,390
at any cost.
195
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:45,080
Yes.
196
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Move it!
197
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:12,080
Hurry!
198
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:30,240
They look like a band of bandits.
199
00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:32,440
These men live by the blade.
200
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,200
They're ruthless.
201
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Your Highness, should we save them?
202
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,200
Of course.
203
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,080
Though Commandery Princess Zhaoning
is clever,
204
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,980
at the end of the day,
205
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,790
she's still a young lady.
206
00:13:41,790 --> 00:13:42,928
Faced with a force like this,
207
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,512
how could she not lose her composure?
208
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:47,960
Wait.
209
00:13:50,944 --> 00:13:52,368
The commandery princess
210
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,000
doesn't seem to be in the carriage.
211
00:14:12,630 --> 00:14:13,150
Fall back.
212
00:14:19,216 --> 00:14:20,000
Your Highness,
213
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,480
it seems
214
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,200
commandery princess
doesn't need our help.
215
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,390
She foresaw
216
00:14:27,550 --> 00:14:29,030
today's ambush.
217
00:14:29,568 --> 00:14:32,000
I'd heard Commandery Princess Zhaoning
was raised in luxury.
218
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,630
How did she develop
such remarkable composure?
219
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,510
That's foresight.
220
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,630
It's a step above
221
00:14:38,992 --> 00:14:40,400
keeping calm under pressure.
222
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,910
Now that the bandits are dealt with,
223
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,304
Your Highness,
224
00:14:44,688 --> 00:14:47,216
the commandery princess
should be able to continue her journey.
225
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:49,200
Such a direct attack
226
00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:51,000
doesn't seem like
Xiao Changqing's style.
227
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:53,480
Your Highness truly
sees through everything.
228
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,104
The bandits have all been driven off.
229
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,670
It's not that simple.
230
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Xiao Changqing
231
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,910
always plans before he acts.
232
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,840
If the bandits couldn't deal with us,
233
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:04,290
he could call in
the local authorities to wipe us out.
234
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:05,630
According to Changqing's style,
235
00:15:05,632 --> 00:15:07,630
he'd send government troops
to eliminate the bandits
236
00:15:07,648 --> 00:15:08,670
under a legitimate pretext,
237
00:15:08,688 --> 00:15:10,870
and the commandery princess
was accidentally killed.
238
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:29,808
The authorities,
under orders to suppress the bandits,
239
00:15:29,856 --> 00:15:31,150
would execute anyone
240
00:15:31,216 --> 00:15:33,296
who refused to lay down
their arms and surrender.
241
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,480
You were right!
242
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,224
You got it exactly right, Your Highness.
243
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:43,120
Your Highness,
244
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:44,600
should we step in?
245
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Who are you?
246
00:17:02,368 --> 00:17:04,000
How dare you kill government troops?
247
00:17:04,270 --> 00:17:05,350
That's a capital offense!
248
00:17:08,448 --> 00:17:10,736
The Embroidered Envoys
are conducting official business.
249
00:17:11,070 --> 00:17:12,350
Anyone who interferes
250
00:17:12,528 --> 00:17:14,640
(Embroidered Envoy)
will be executed without mercy.
251
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:17,870
I was ordered to come here
and suppress the bandits.
252
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,870
I had no idea
I'd disturbed the Embroidered Envoy.
253
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,944
Please forgive my offense.
254
00:17:21,030 --> 00:17:22,590
The Embroidered Envoy?
255
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,480
They are the Emperor's most secret
256
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,830
covert organization.
257
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,232
There are only thirteen of them.
258
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:29,890
They hold the tiger tally and
have the authority to command troops.
259
00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:32,590
They can throw any official below
the third rank directly into prison.
260
00:17:32,608 --> 00:17:34,720
All civil and military officials
fear them deeply.
261
00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:37,680
Only the Emperor
knows their true identities.
262
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,680
The bandits have all been captured.
263
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:41,680
You should return and report back.
264
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,720
Yes.
265
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:51,110
(This scent...)
266
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,720
(Tagara Incense again.)
267
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:56,640
Where are you headed?
268
00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:58,200
Reporting to you, sir,
269
00:17:58,830 --> 00:18:01,000
we're on our way to Guangwu City.
270
00:18:01,310 --> 00:18:03,480
Who would've thought
we'd run into bandits?
271
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,920
Then be on your way.
272
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:06,720
The city gates will soon close.
273
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,830
You may leave!
274
00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:25,240
Thank you for your help, sir.
275
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,590
We'll take our leave.
276
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:41,680
The Embroidered Envoy suddenly appeared
277
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,200
and even helped us.
278
00:18:43,968 --> 00:18:46,000
The Embroidered Envoys
never linger for anyone.
279
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,640
What happened today is truly unusual.
280
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,000
The Tagara Incense he's wearing
281
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000
is of the finest quality.
282
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:56,510
Just one tael
283
00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:58,160
is worth a hundred taels of gold.
284
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:00,480
Why would
285
00:19:00,736 --> 00:19:02,720
an Embroidered Envoy
use something so precious?
286
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,510
Besides,
287
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:06,350
this Embroidered Envoy
288
00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:07,880
has the exact same scent
289
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:09,000
as Hua Fuhai.
290
00:19:11,744 --> 00:19:13,040
It's too much of a coincidence.
291
00:19:19,312 --> 00:19:20,096
Your Highness.
292
00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:26,680
Your Highness.
293
00:19:26,768 --> 00:19:28,200
Why didn't you take this opportunity
294
00:19:28,224 --> 00:19:30,512
to take the Rouge Ledger
from the commandery princess?
295
00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:32,750
Unless she gives it up willingly,
296
00:19:33,030 --> 00:19:34,920
taking the Rouge Ledger from her
297
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,200
will be no easy task.
298
00:19:36,352 --> 00:19:37,728
What about the Immortal Vine?
299
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:39,310
Even if you don't need it now,
300
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,780
you can present it to Grand
Empress Dowager as a birthday gift.
301
00:19:41,790 --> 00:19:43,712
The Immortal Vine
is shaped like a lover's knot,
302
00:19:43,790 --> 00:19:45,200
symbolizing everlasting unity.
303
00:19:45,616 --> 00:19:47,110
How could I give it to Grandmother?
304
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Oh, no.
305
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:55,070
My brilliant prince
306
00:19:55,830 --> 00:19:57,030
has really fallen for her.
307
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,030
It's not love.
308
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:01,960
It's like
309
00:20:04,270 --> 00:20:06,720
seeing a bright moon in the sky.
310
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,680
If I didn't admire it,
311
00:20:09,790 --> 00:20:11,680
I'd be the one who lacked appreciation.
312
00:20:21,616 --> 00:20:22,310
Your Highness,
313
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,808
your poison is acting up again.
314
00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:44,500
(Prince Xin's Manor)
315
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,744
Changqing, how could you send men
to kill Commandery Princess Zhaoning?
316
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:01,920
She stole the Rouge Ledger from you,
317
00:21:02,448 --> 00:21:03,872
and you're still protecting her?
318
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,480
The Duke of Wei is loyal to the throne.
319
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,510
He's an upright official.
320
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,480
So what if she took it?
321
00:21:25,030 --> 00:21:26,350
You risked your life
322
00:21:27,312 --> 00:21:29,904
and went through countless hardships
to obtain the Rouge Ledger.
323
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,200
What is it for?
324
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,480
No enemy on the battlefield
can defeat you.
325
00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:38,830
But the schemes of powerful ministers
326
00:21:39,750 --> 00:21:41,160
are far harder for you to withstand.
327
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,350
With the Rouge Ledger,
328
00:21:45,510 --> 00:21:47,310
we can root out the corrupt officials
329
00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:48,310
at court.
330
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,350
Then we can build our own influence.
331
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Only then will your position be secure.
332
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:52,960
Changqing,
333
00:21:54,790 --> 00:21:56,160
I've told you many times already.
334
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,544
I don't want
to get involved in politics.
335
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,830
Right now, you're only
the General of the Imperial Guard.
336
00:22:18,790 --> 00:22:20,790
You have no place at court.
337
00:22:26,510 --> 00:22:27,960
How can you protect
338
00:22:29,270 --> 00:22:30,310
the one you care about?
339
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,030
Your Highness.
340
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,590
Commandery Princess Zhaoning's party
341
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:41,296
is nearing
the imperial capital by water.
342
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:42,640
Changqing,
343
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,720
you mustn't harm her again.
344
00:22:46,192 --> 00:22:47,584
You can't bring yourself to do it?
345
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:51,030
No.
346
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,480
That lady is cold and heartless.
347
00:22:54,310 --> 00:22:55,550
I can't stand her.
348
00:22:59,392 --> 00:23:01,160
They're too close
to the imperial capital.
349
00:23:03,030 --> 00:23:04,720
Whether you like her or not,
350
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:08,720
you can't touch her for now.
351
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,270
Boatman,
352
00:23:30,070 --> 00:23:31,350
when will the boat depart?
353
00:23:32,070 --> 00:23:32,880
In an hour.
354
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,680
If there are enough passengers,
355
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,310
- Your Highness.
- we can set sail now.
356
00:23:35,310 --> 00:23:36,310
We'll go buy some flowers.
357
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,110
Please wait a moment.
358
00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:38,000
Come take a look.
359
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,070
Just let me know.
360
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:40,288
These flowers are so beautiful.
361
00:23:40,550 --> 00:23:41,310
They really are.
362
00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:43,550
Look over there. It's so lively.
363
00:23:43,550 --> 00:23:44,070
It is.
364
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:45,350
Come on, let's go take a look.
365
00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:45,880
Let's go.
366
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,000
You're hurt.
367
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,110
Where's your owner?
368
00:24:48,350 --> 00:24:49,880
So you're all alone, too.
369
00:24:51,030 --> 00:24:52,510
How about I take you home?
370
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,550
You...
371
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:58,240
shall be called Du Huo.
372
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,590
It seems you really like that name.
373
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,310
Your Highness,
374
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,808
you've protected
the commandery princess all the way.
375
00:25:17,810 --> 00:25:19,680
Even if you're not
expecting anything in return,
376
00:25:19,690 --> 00:25:21,360
you should at least get
a word of thanks.
377
00:25:21,510 --> 00:25:23,350
Instead, you're hiding here
378
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:24,640
spying on her.
379
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,270
This commandery princess
380
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:29,160
has more than just two sides.
381
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,750
She has quite a few.
382
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Little fox.
383
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:37,790
Whether she's a fox or a tiger,
384
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,376
if we've got the Rouge Ledger,
385
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,880
we'd better keep our distance.
386
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:49,880
Tian Yuan.
387
00:25:51,030 --> 00:25:52,880
Her smile is truly beautiful.
388
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Your Highness,
389
00:25:56,750 --> 00:25:57,720
don't you think
390
00:25:57,790 --> 00:25:59,790
the commandery princess
seems rather calculating,
391
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,960
even a little frightening?
392
00:26:03,070 --> 00:26:04,208
What's frightening about her?
393
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:06,830
She's clearly
394
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,480
adorable.
395
00:26:19,070 --> 00:26:20,480
- All right.
- Bravo!
396
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:23,400
Take this one.
397
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,240
This one's pretty.
398
00:26:27,510 --> 00:26:28,310
Over here!
399
00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:29,070
This way!
400
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:30,310
It's so lively.
401
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,070
Be careful.
402
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,110
Here, take it.
403
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:41,270
These are yours.
404
00:26:45,632 --> 00:26:47,568
Come on, let's go
set floating lanterns adrift.
405
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,030
Your Highness,
406
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,720
it's the Fishing Lantern Festival.
407
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:55,200
The people pray
for abundance year after year
408
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,608
and that everything goes smoothly.
409
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:00,790
Your Highness,
410
00:27:00,790 --> 00:27:01,960
it's so adorable.
411
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:03,400
Have you given it a name?
412
00:27:04,030 --> 00:27:04,960
It's called Du Huo.
413
00:27:05,728 --> 00:27:07,310
Why would Your Highness give a cat
414
00:27:07,310 --> 00:27:08,830
such a strange name?
415
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:10,720
When all flowers have withered,
416
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:12,110
I alone remain.
417
00:27:13,088 --> 00:27:13,880
Isn't that fitting?
418
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:20,590
Good!
419
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,310
Enjoy the lanterns.
420
00:27:26,544 --> 00:27:27,960
I'll head back and get some rest.
421
00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:31,270
- Good!
- Great!
422
00:27:43,790 --> 00:27:46,310
Excuse me, is this
Commandery Princess Zhaoning's boat?
423
00:27:46,550 --> 00:27:47,550
May I ask who you are?
424
00:27:49,296 --> 00:27:51,792
I am Cui Jinbai, Vice Minister
of the Court of Judicial Review.
425
00:27:55,610 --> 00:27:56,640
Greetings, Your Highness.
426
00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:59,550
May I ask why you wish to see me?
427
00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:03,030
I have been waiting here
for Your Highness
428
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,408
regarding the case
of the escaped maid Ling Long.
429
00:28:05,472 --> 00:28:06,830
I need to ask you a few questions.
430
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,000
Please rest assured.
431
00:28:08,590 --> 00:28:10,440
I won't keep Your Highness for long.
432
00:28:10,864 --> 00:28:11,640
This way, please.
433
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,830
What does Your Highness
434
00:28:34,030 --> 00:28:34,960
usually like to eat?
435
00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:37,590
I prefer light food
and dislike greasy dishes.
436
00:28:37,648 --> 00:28:39,240
I don't have any particular favorite.
437
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,030
What do you usually do
in your spare time?
438
00:28:43,070 --> 00:28:44,830
Nothing out of the ordinary.
439
00:28:45,392 --> 00:28:46,720
I blend incense and do needlework,
440
00:28:47,136 --> 00:28:48,350
read and practice calligraphy.
441
00:28:50,110 --> 00:28:51,400
In your daily life,
442
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,800
do you have any special preferences?
443
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,070
If I had to name one,
444
00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:57,160
I'd enjoy collecting
rare flowers and herbs.
445
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,184
I savor their fragrance and admire them.
446
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480
"Clad in orchids and duheng,
447
00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:09,680
I pluck fragrant blooms
for the one I long for."
448
00:29:10,656 --> 00:29:12,304
What refined taste, Your Highness.
449
00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:15,640
But what does any of this
have to do with the case?
450
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,270
Ling Long was your personal maid.
451
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,070
She knew your habits
and preferences inside out.
452
00:29:24,590 --> 00:29:26,000
I'm concerned someone
453
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,030
might exploit those small details.
454
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,744
That's why I took the liberty of asking.
455
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,110
Do you enjoy going on spring outings?
456
00:29:40,110 --> 00:29:41,550
Do you prefer mountain scenery
457
00:29:41,550 --> 00:29:42,720
or waterscapes?
458
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,640
(Tagara Incense again.)
459
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,070
Vice Minister Cui,
460
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,000
there's no need to avoid me.
461
00:30:01,790 --> 00:30:03,200
Why not come aboard my boat
462
00:30:03,264 --> 00:30:04,800
so we can continue our conversation?
463
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,750
- Very well!
- Very well!
464
00:30:36,030 --> 00:30:38,160
Why are you wearing
a veiled hat, Vice Minister Cui?
465
00:30:41,270 --> 00:30:42,310
The journey here
466
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,070
left my face sunburned.
467
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:45,584
My appearance is rather untidy.
468
00:30:45,632 --> 00:30:47,248
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
469
00:30:48,288 --> 00:30:51,232
Vice Minister Cui is in charge of
criminal investigations and sentencing.
470
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:52,790
I'd like to know,
471
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:55,440
if someone impersonates
a court official,
472
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:56,880
what crime should that be?
473
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,400
This incense is poisonous.
474
00:31:07,030 --> 00:31:07,960
Caning.
475
00:31:08,110 --> 00:31:08,960
Imprisonment.
476
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Execution.
477
00:31:10,790 --> 00:31:11,640
Choose one.
478
00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:26,310
You're faking it.
479
00:31:27,310 --> 00:31:29,110
I'm only honest with the lady I love.
480
00:31:29,728 --> 00:31:31,000
If Your Highness is willing...
481
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:34,160
Your Highness!
482
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,184
Let go of Her Highness!
483
00:31:45,110 --> 00:31:45,720
Your Highness!
484
00:31:51,070 --> 00:31:52,030
What's wrong?
485
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,110
The commandery princess threw
486
00:31:57,270 --> 00:31:59,000
a numbing powder at me.
487
00:31:59,070 --> 00:32:00,640
What if the anesthetic harms you?
488
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,440
She's still
489
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,030
a kindhearted young lady.
490
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:09,790
If it's meant for self-defense,
491
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,750
it should be laced with poison.
492
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:14,590
Just like Hua Fuhai,
493
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,200
it's that Tagara Incense again.
494
00:32:19,790 --> 00:32:20,720
What a pity.
495
00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:23,160
I only mixed
a numbing agent into the powder.
496
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:25,920
Poison would've been even better.
497
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:28,928
You're still upset
she didn't poison you to death?
498
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:32,160
She knew I was in disguise.
499
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:35,590
Yet she exposed me right to my face.
500
00:32:36,750 --> 00:32:37,790
She's more like
501
00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:41,350
my confidante.
502
00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:42,480
My confidante?
503
00:32:42,830 --> 00:32:43,400
Wait.
504
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,510
Don't tell me you've fallen for her.
505
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,480
A Crown Prince as frail as a willow,
506
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,070
yet infatuated with love.
507
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,510
There couldn't be a better disguise.
508
00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:13,380
(Shangjing, Imperial Capital
of the Daxing Dynasty)
509
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Come take a look!
510
00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:30,160
(Ningxiang Tea House)
Misters. Please come in.
511
00:33:30,368 --> 00:33:31,240
Have a seat inside.
512
00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:34,000
Your tea is ready, Mister.
513
00:33:34,270 --> 00:33:35,240
This way.
514
00:33:36,110 --> 00:33:36,880
Watch your step.
515
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:38,480
Right there.
516
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Your Highness, it's so lively.
517
00:33:57,264 --> 00:33:59,830
The commandery princess's party
has entered the imperial capital.
518
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,270
Your Highness,
519
00:34:06,790 --> 00:34:07,550
it's time to leave.
520
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,070
Make way!
521
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,110
Make way!
522
00:34:21,472 --> 00:34:22,800
Do you all have a death wish?
523
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,480
Move!
524
00:34:27,670 --> 00:34:28,480
Move!
525
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,440
Are you deaf?
526
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,840
Move!
527
00:34:31,070 --> 00:34:32,030
Move!
528
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,880
I'm talking to you.
529
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:36,880
Move!
530
00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:38,230
Are you deaf?
531
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,320
I'm talking to you!
532
00:34:49,408 --> 00:34:50,096
Third Brother.
533
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,250
- Second Brother.
- Third Brother.
534
00:34:51,264 --> 00:34:52,070
- Easy.
- Come.
535
00:34:52,070 --> 00:34:52,480
Slow down.
536
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,030
Blood!
537
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,400
How dare you!
538
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,360
Do you have a death wish?
I think you want to die!
539
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,710
I can be even bolder.
540
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:06,000
Want to find out?
541
00:35:12,670 --> 00:35:14,320
Do you know who I am?
542
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,848
I'm the Third Young Master
of the Marquis of Jining's Manor!
543
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,150
What a loudmouth.
544
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,360
Third Young Master!
545
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,030
You dare whip me?
546
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,030
Get her!
547
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,230
Someone!
548
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,030
They're fighting at the city gate,
549
00:35:36,030 --> 00:35:38,260
and assaulting the descendants
of meritorious officials!
550
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:44,920
Surround them!
551
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,110
- Yes!
- Yes!
552
00:35:48,670 --> 00:35:49,760
Why are you surrounding me?
553
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,320
Over there!
554
00:35:51,824 --> 00:35:53,550
(Zhang Pengzhan, Prefect of Shangjing)
Prefect Zhang Pengzhan of Shangjing
555
00:35:53,550 --> 00:35:55,088
pays my respects to Your Highness.
556
00:35:55,230 --> 00:35:56,280
I arrived too late.
557
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,630
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
558
00:35:58,670 --> 00:35:59,480
Prefect Zhang,
559
00:36:00,030 --> 00:36:01,510
someone tried to kill me.
560
00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:04,000
I... I didn't know.
I don't even know her.
561
00:36:04,064 --> 00:36:05,440
How could I have tried to kill her?
562
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:06,150
I know.
563
00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:07,480
You didn't mean to.
564
00:36:08,110 --> 00:36:08,880
Your horse
565
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,550
was driven mad by the scent of basil.
566
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,000
Someone
567
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,440
tampered with your horse.
568
00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:24,304
Reporting to you, Prefect,
569
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,880
we found traces of incense powder.
570
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,070
Prefect Zhang,
571
00:36:28,550 --> 00:36:29,840
I'd like a basin of clean water.
572
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:30,800
Yes.
573
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,110
This incense powder
574
00:36:33,110 --> 00:36:35,230
contains an ingredient
that reacts with basil.
575
00:36:35,710 --> 00:36:36,840
When the two are mixed,
576
00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:39,070
the water turns red.
577
00:36:39,590 --> 00:36:41,230
Brilliant, Your Highness.
578
00:36:42,070 --> 00:36:43,800
Then I'll ask everyone
579
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,000
to place their hands
in the water, one by one.
580
00:36:52,832 --> 00:36:53,710
What are you doing?
581
00:36:53,710 --> 00:36:54,280
Let go of me!
582
00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:59,960
No!
583
00:37:00,150 --> 00:37:00,880
It wasn't me!
584
00:37:01,710 --> 00:37:03,190
It wasn't me, Your Highness!
585
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,320
If not, why is there the scent
of basil on your hands?
586
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,470
It was Second Young Master Li.
587
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,920
He personally gave me the powder.
588
00:37:08,670 --> 00:37:09,960
Don't you dare slander me!
589
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:10,880
Mo Yu!
590
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,230
What are you doing?
591
00:37:15,312 --> 00:37:16,304
What are you doing?
592
00:37:19,696 --> 00:37:20,510
Second Brother,
593
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,360
we're brothers.
594
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,880
Why are you framing me?
595
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,590
I just wanted
to get blood on your hands.
596
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,510
So Father would come to despise you.
597
00:37:31,590 --> 00:37:32,190
But...
598
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,690
I never expected to implicate
the commandery princess.
599
00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:37,490
- Does ignorance make you innocent?
- Does ignorance make you innocent?
600
00:37:55,550 --> 00:37:57,030
Greetings, Your Highness.
601
00:37:59,248 --> 00:38:01,680
- Greetings, Your Highness.
- Greetings, Your Highness.
602
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,550
Greetings, Your Highness.
603
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:12,960
Please rise, Xihe.
604
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,304
There's no need for formalities.
605
00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:20,480
(Plum blossoms kissed with snow.)
606
00:38:21,110 --> 00:38:22,670
(This fragrance is Spring in Snow.)
607
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,696
(All are rare medicinal herbs
that are beneficial to one's health.)
608
00:38:25,710 --> 00:38:26,960
(Worth more than gold.)
609
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,230
(The Crown Prince really
has been ill for so long.)
610
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,190
I heard everything.
611
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,890
You tried to kill
the commandery princess.
612
00:38:33,904 --> 00:38:36,180
You intended to provoke a conflict
between the two houses.
613
00:38:36,190 --> 00:38:37,230
Your crime is unforgivable.
614
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,070
Please forgive me, Your Highness!
615
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,280
I was merely jealous
of my third brother.
616
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,110
He was always Father's favorite.
617
00:38:44,192 --> 00:38:45,888
That's why I made such a grave mistake.
618
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,360
Please spare my life, Your Highness!
619
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,670
I'm not the victim.
620
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,150
Begging me won't help.
621
00:38:59,150 --> 00:39:00,710
I failed to know my place.
622
00:39:00,848 --> 00:39:02,336
I offended the commandery princess.
623
00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:04,320
Please spare me, Your Highness!
624
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,190
Please forgive me, Your Highness!
625
00:39:08,630 --> 00:39:09,920
If you want my forgiveness,
626
00:39:10,016 --> 00:39:11,510
you should at least tell the truth.
627
00:39:12,670 --> 00:39:15,030
Who is the real mastermind?
628
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:15,880
I...
629
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,110
Think carefully.
630
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,070
If you're imprisoned,
631
00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:23,630
what will your wife
632
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:26,150
do to your sisters and concubines?
633
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:27,480
You framed your own brother.
634
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,800
How will
635
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,550
your father deal with you?
636
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:33,440
I...
637
00:39:41,230 --> 00:39:42,440
It was Xiao Jing.
638
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,590
He said...
639
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:46,920
He said he wanted to avenge his aunt.
640
00:39:48,032 --> 00:39:51,070
(The Xiao is the Duke of Wei's concubine
left behind in the imperial capital.)
641
00:39:51,630 --> 00:39:52,360
(Seems like)
642
00:39:52,510 --> 00:39:54,400
(she's enjoyed
an easy life for far too long.)
643
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,336
- Take him away!
- Take him away!
644
00:40:02,230 --> 00:40:04,360
Thank you, Your Highness,
for standing up for me.
645
00:40:14,510 --> 00:40:16,480
You have traveled
all the way from the northwest.
646
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:18,070
We mustn't let you suffer
647
00:40:18,260 --> 00:40:20,030
or disappoint
the soldiers of the northwest.
648
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,440
I've had a long and tiring journey.
649
00:40:22,496 --> 00:40:23,920
My appearance is not presentable.
650
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,800
I'll pay my respects
at the Eastern Palace another day.
651
00:40:28,150 --> 00:40:31,030
Then I'll await you
at the Eastern Palace.
652
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,030
Your Highness,
653
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,510
the commandery princess
654
00:40:51,510 --> 00:40:53,150
is bound to see you differently now.
655
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,190
Naturally.
656
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:01,670
The Crown Prince has lived
in seclusion for too long.
657
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,880
He doesn't know propriety.
658
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,190
He even dared to touch
the commandery princess's hand.
659
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:06,510
That was rather improper.
660
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:08,880
Good thing he won't live long.
661
00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:25,960
Throw Xiao out.
662
00:41:26,630 --> 00:41:27,400
You're not worthy
663
00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:28,440
of being my enemy.
664
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,240
As long as Prince Kang's Manor
still stands,
665
00:41:30,250 --> 00:41:31,920
I'll make sure
you die a miserable death.
666
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,110
The young master I marry
667
00:41:33,110 --> 00:41:34,480
will be the one I love.
668
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,920
So you intend
to choose your own husband?
669
00:41:38,150 --> 00:41:39,630
If Your Highness has the time,
670
00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:41,030
allow me to be your guide.
671
00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:42,800
