1
00:00:16,633 --> 00:00:17,667
Do you recognize
2
00:00:19,467 --> 00:00:20,433
what this is?
3
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,233
Changqing!
4
00:00:40,667 --> 00:00:41,200
Guards,
5
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,633
- Prince Xin is unwell.
- Changqing!
6
00:00:42,633 --> 00:00:44,000
- Escort him back to his palace.
- Your Highness!
7
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,067
Calm down.
8
00:00:45,467 --> 00:00:46,800
- Restrain him!
- Tell me now!
9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,533
- Your Highness!
- Your Highness!
10
00:00:47,533 --> 00:00:48,033
Changqing!
11
00:00:48,033 --> 00:00:49,167
Who are you?
12
00:00:49,167 --> 00:00:50,333
- Your Highness!
- Changqing!
13
00:00:51,933 --> 00:00:53,333
Who are you?
14
00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:54,033
Changqing!
15
00:00:56,267 --> 00:00:58,467
Tell me, who are you?
16
00:02:19,133 --> 00:02:19,967

Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)

=Episode 10=
19
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:28,067
Your Majesty,
20
00:02:28,633 --> 00:02:29,633
I was shocked to realize
21
00:02:30,433 --> 00:02:32,533
that Commandery Princess Zhaoning
and my late wife
22
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,567
share many similarities.
23
00:02:37,267 --> 00:02:38,633
Changqing, watch your words.
24
00:02:39,033 --> 00:02:41,300
Commandery Princess Zhaoning
is exceptionally intelligent.
25
00:02:41,300 --> 00:02:42,833
What's difficult about making incense?
26
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:45,033
Are you suggesting
that in the entire world,
27
00:02:45,067 --> 00:02:46,833
only your wife was an incense master?
28
00:02:47,067 --> 00:02:49,233
Ladies from noble families
conduct themselves with grace.
29
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,167
Tapping one's fingers while in thought
30
00:02:51,167 --> 00:02:52,967
is just a common mannerism
among young women.
31
00:02:53,167 --> 00:02:54,533
It's hardly unique to your wife.
32
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:58,667
As for the talk of two moons in the sky
and the star gate opening,
33
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,467
even the Observatory Official
can't explain the reason behind it.
34
00:03:01,867 --> 00:03:02,767
For you to use
35
00:03:02,767 --> 00:03:05,133
such a mystical and unprovable event
as evidence
36
00:03:06,467 --> 00:03:08,067
is far too forced.
37
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:13,767
Changqing,
38
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,400
your wife
39
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,467
passed away three years ago.
40
00:03:17,967 --> 00:03:18,967
Could it be
41
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:20,800
that in your deep longing for your wife,
42
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,633
your mind has become unsettled?
43
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,300
I would like to ask
the Commandery Princess
44
00:03:30,467 --> 00:03:31,967
to clear my doubts herself.
45
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,800
You have long resided in northwest.
46
00:03:34,367 --> 00:03:36,467
How did you know
about that secret mountain path?
47
00:03:40,167 --> 00:03:40,800
Your Majesty.
48
00:03:43,067 --> 00:03:44,133
It seems at this point,
49
00:03:44,867 --> 00:03:46,033
I can no longer hide it.
50
00:03:47,667 --> 00:03:48,700
I admit
51
00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:51,433
that Prince Xin's Consort and I
52
00:03:51,567 --> 00:03:53,667
were close friends who had never met.
53
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:54,467
What?
54
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:56,033
Close friends?
55
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:57,833
Allow me to explain, Your Majesty.
56
00:03:58,267 --> 00:03:59,667
The year I came of age,
57
00:04:00,133 --> 00:04:02,200
my brother, Shen Yun'an,
was ordered to the capital.
58
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,167
Seeing how much I missed my brother,
59
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:06,233
my father gave me a carrier pigeon
60
00:04:06,433 --> 00:04:08,633
so I could correspond with him.
61
00:04:08,733 --> 00:04:10,400
Unexpectedly, the pigeon was injured
62
00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:13,567
and fell into the home
of a young lady in the imperial capital.
63
00:04:13,567 --> 00:04:15,467
After she nursed the pigeon
back to health,
64
00:04:15,767 --> 00:04:17,400
she had it send a message back to me.
65
00:04:17,633 --> 00:04:18,767
I wrote back to thank her.
66
00:04:19,167 --> 00:04:20,267
Through this exchange,
67
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,633
we became close friends
who communicated only by letter.
68
00:04:22,667 --> 00:04:23,833
That young lady
69
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,233
was Prince Xin's Consort.
70
00:04:26,367 --> 00:04:27,067
Indeed.
71
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:27,667
Impossible.
72
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,733
I've never heard of this.
73
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,633
Qingzhi told me stories
of the imperial capital,
74
00:04:32,933 --> 00:04:34,600
and I told her about life in northwest.
75
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,267
We both had a passion
for blending incense.
76
00:04:36,267 --> 00:04:39,000
The secret mountain path and the
method for making Jati flower incense
77
00:04:39,033 --> 00:04:41,167
were things Qingzhi told me about
in her letters.
78
00:04:41,733 --> 00:04:43,400
After she married
into Prince Xin's Manor,
79
00:04:43,667 --> 00:04:45,400
our correspondence gradually lessened.
80
00:04:45,633 --> 00:04:47,033
It was only later that I learned
81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,600
of her unfortunate passing.
82
00:04:49,233 --> 00:04:50,767
I was deeply grieved.
83
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,933
Changqing,
do you have anything else to say?
84
00:04:57,633 --> 00:04:58,567
Zhaoning,
85
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:00,400
this has all been a misunderstanding.
86
00:05:01,233 --> 00:05:02,867
Please don't take it to heart.
87
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,433
Prince Xin did not harm me.
88
00:05:06,033 --> 00:05:07,467
I am willing to let the matter rest.
89
00:05:07,833 --> 00:05:10,000
Now that everything
has been cleared up today,
90
00:05:10,567 --> 00:05:12,033
I hope Prince Xin
91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,367
will abandon that incredible delusion
92
00:05:15,033 --> 00:05:16,300
and stop chasing shadows.
93
00:05:17,367 --> 00:05:18,300
Do you know
94
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,467
that even if the person hidden deep
in your heart
95
00:05:21,767 --> 00:05:23,033
changes their appearance,
96
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,267
they will eventually be recognized?
97
00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:29,867
Your deep love for your wife
98
00:05:29,933 --> 00:05:31,000
is admirable.
99
00:05:32,267 --> 00:05:34,133
But if this longing
has turned into an illness,
100
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:36,100
perhaps it would be better
to live in seclusion
101
00:05:36,133 --> 00:05:37,767
to recuperate and cultivate your mind.
102
00:05:37,933 --> 00:05:39,400
so as not to disturb others again.
103
00:05:40,933 --> 00:05:41,867
Changqing,
104
00:05:42,067 --> 00:05:43,200
if there is any more
105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,300
improper conduct,
106
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:45,900
I...
107
00:05:47,667 --> 00:05:49,200
will surely punish you severely.
108
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,033
Please forgive me, Commandery Princess.
109
00:06:00,167 --> 00:06:01,200
Thank you, Your Majesty.
110
00:06:14,867 --> 00:06:15,833
Your Highness.
111
00:06:21,567 --> 00:06:23,200
There is one thing I don't understand.
112
00:06:23,433 --> 00:06:24,567
I'd like to ask you about it.
113
00:06:25,933 --> 00:06:26,633
What is it?
114
00:06:26,933 --> 00:06:28,467
Qingzhi had a proud and aloof nature.
115
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,367
She rarely socialized with anyone.
116
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:33,467
Why was it
that she was only close to you?
117
00:06:34,167 --> 00:06:35,033
I don't want to say.
118
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:38,867
Fine.
119
00:06:39,467 --> 00:06:40,467
Then I won't ask again.
120
00:06:44,033 --> 00:06:45,367
Let's go to my temporary palace.
121
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,167
I had Tian Yuan
prepare some wild game dishes.
122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,233
Please have a taste.
123
00:06:48,433 --> 00:06:49,967
You're not going to ask anymore?
124
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:51,833
If you don't wish to say,
125
00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:53,233
then I have no right to pry.
126
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:55,500
Everyone has their own secrets.
127
00:06:56,267 --> 00:06:57,933
We aren't even engaged yet.
128
00:06:58,167 --> 00:06:58,933
Even if we were,
129
00:06:58,967 --> 00:07:00,767
I couldn't interfere
in your private affairs.
130
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,633
And I certainly have no right
to question you.
131
00:07:02,633 --> 00:07:04,133
Your way of thinking
132
00:07:04,567 --> 00:07:06,567
is quite different from other men
in the world.
133
00:07:06,933 --> 00:07:08,167
A marriage contract
134
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,833
gives a husband
135
00:07:09,867 --> 00:07:12,133
the privilege of helping his wife
with her troubles,
136
00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:14,667
not the right to interfere
with her thoughts.
137
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,933
Whether it's an engagement
138
00:07:16,367 --> 00:07:17,500
or a future marriage,
139
00:07:18,067 --> 00:07:19,933
it should not become a restraint
on a lady.
140
00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:24,367
After you.
141
00:07:34,233 --> 00:07:35,800
Xihe, how are you?
142
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,400
Are you hurt? I've been searching
for you all night with my guards.
143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,467
I'm fine.
144
00:07:39,467 --> 00:07:40,433
Completely unharmed.
145
00:07:43,033 --> 00:07:44,867
I was the one
who took you horseback riding.
146
00:07:45,233 --> 00:07:46,400
And I failed to look after you.
147
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:48,167
If anything had really happened to you,
148
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:50,033
I would've regretted it
for the rest of my life.
149
00:07:50,033 --> 00:07:51,000
Young Master Bu,
150
00:07:51,133 --> 00:07:53,400
don't listen to Her Highness
making it sound so trivial.
151
00:07:53,467 --> 00:07:55,167
You have no idea how dangerous it was.
152
00:07:55,567 --> 00:07:57,600
It was all thanks
to the Crown Prince's help.
153
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,467
The Crown Prince?
154
00:07:58,933 --> 00:08:00,400
With how frail he is?
155
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,167
I don't believe it.
156
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,167
What's wrong with being frail?
157
00:08:03,167 --> 00:08:04,067
Being strong and robust
158
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,033
is useless if one is unwilling
to protect his wife.
159
00:08:06,033 --> 00:08:07,333
Although Crown Prince
is physically weak,
160
00:08:07,333 --> 00:08:08,900
he risked his life to help Her Highness.
161
00:08:08,933 --> 00:08:10,233
He is a true gentleman.
162
00:08:13,167 --> 00:08:15,367
How is the search for the live bees
I asked you to find?
163
00:08:15,467 --> 00:08:18,500
You only care about requesting live bees
to treat Crown Prince's eye ailment.
164
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,400
It seems
165
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:21,200
this marriage is settled.
166
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:30,867
Your Highness,
167
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,767
this matter of the star gate
may sound mysterious,
168
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,033
but Prince Xin has always been
cautious and prudent.
169
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,967
How could he lose his composure
over such a legend?
170
00:08:40,133 --> 00:08:40,833
Besides,
171
00:08:41,167 --> 00:08:43,367
this concerns the Commandery Princess's
true identity.
172
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Since you intend
173
00:08:45,033 --> 00:08:47,033
for her to be the Crown Princess
of the East Palace,
174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,033
shouldn't you
175
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,500
investigate this thoroughly?
176
00:08:52,767 --> 00:08:53,833
When I first met her,
177
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:56,000
she was Shen Xihe.
178
00:08:57,333 --> 00:08:59,033
Regardless of
whether the star gate exists,
179
00:09:00,633 --> 00:09:02,033
since my heart belongs to her,
180
00:09:02,567 --> 00:09:04,067
if she doesn't want to talk about it,
181
00:09:04,433 --> 00:09:05,633
I will not pry.
182
00:09:12,267 --> 00:09:13,367
Think carefully again.
183
00:09:13,833 --> 00:09:16,367
Did your elder sister
and Commandery Princess Zhaoning
184
00:09:16,967 --> 00:09:18,533
have any sort of friendship?
185
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:20,267
Brother-in-law,
186
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,233
my sister never treated me,
187
00:09:22,233 --> 00:09:23,500
the daughter of a concubine,
188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,200
as a real sister.
189
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,467
She always ignored me.
190
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,467
I know very little about her.
191
00:09:30,767 --> 00:09:32,000
Are you sure you never saw
192
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,267
her receive letters from northwest?
193
00:09:36,333 --> 00:09:37,367
I never saw any.
194
00:09:48,133 --> 00:09:50,633
How could you mistake
Commandery Princess for Gu Qingzhi?
195
00:09:50,733 --> 00:09:51,467
How insolent.
196
00:09:52,367 --> 00:09:54,667
Do not address your fifth sister-in-law
by her given name.
197
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:55,600
I know.
198
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:58,667
You're trying to find out if your wife
and Commandery Princess
199
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:00,000
really corresponded by letter.
200
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,067
Do you really think
Commandery Princess is your wife?
201
00:10:03,067 --> 00:10:03,867
What?
202
00:10:05,867 --> 00:10:07,033
Are you trying to stop me?
203
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,367
I have to stop you.
204
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,467
What are you going to do?
205
00:10:21,367 --> 00:10:22,500
Then you'll have to kill me.
206
00:10:29,633 --> 00:10:30,633
Have you gone mad?
207
00:10:30,633 --> 00:10:32,967
I thought you were drowning
in sorrow over your wife's death
208
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,800
and hadn't moved on.
209
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:34,767
But now it seems
210
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:36,467
you clearly want to lock yourself away
211
00:10:36,467 --> 00:10:37,667
for the rest of your life!
212
00:10:46,133 --> 00:10:47,267
I have lost my mind.
213
00:10:50,367 --> 00:10:52,567
The woman I loved most has left me,
214
00:10:54,900 --> 00:10:56,467
but everyone around me
215
00:10:57,867 --> 00:10:59,833
is forcing me to act
as if nothing happened.
216
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,233
They say,
217
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,667
"A man lost in love is useless
for greater things."
218
00:11:12,233 --> 00:11:13,167
They say,
219
00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:15,567
"A great man need not worry
about finding a wife."
220
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,867
"Just find another suitable woman."
221
00:11:19,033 --> 00:11:20,233
But has anyone
222
00:11:21,267 --> 00:11:22,600
ever understood my pain?
223
00:11:34,333 --> 00:11:35,667
I know your pain.
224
00:11:38,167 --> 00:11:39,733
But Commandery Princess
is not your wife.
225
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:42,000
Your obsession is just an illusion.
226
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,967
I'm begging you, let yourself go.
227
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,267
Please?
228
00:12:03,233 --> 00:12:04,500
I will never give up.
229
00:12:21,133 --> 00:12:22,733
- It's Crown Prince.
- Changqing.
230
00:12:36,467 --> 00:12:37,433
Your Highness.
231
00:12:38,167 --> 00:12:39,133
Greetings, Changqing,
232
00:12:39,667 --> 00:12:40,200
Changying.
233
00:12:41,133 --> 00:12:42,600
Why are you here, Your Highness?
234
00:12:46,467 --> 00:12:48,200
This place is hidden in a bustling city,
235
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:49,600
a quiet and peaceful corner.
236
00:12:50,167 --> 00:12:52,767
It's a perfect place to hide a mistress.
237
00:12:57,933 --> 00:13:00,400
Secretly hiding the descendant
of a convicted official.
238
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,167
Changqing, you truly are audacious.
239
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,467
Father has always held you
in high regard.
240
00:13:09,033 --> 00:13:09,967
Over the years,
241
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
you've learned a great deal
about the art of ruling.
242
00:13:12,033 --> 00:13:14,433
Coupled with your exceptional
intelligence since childhood,
243
00:13:14,567 --> 00:13:16,233
in the eyes of the court officials,
244
00:13:16,233 --> 00:13:18,100
you are the candidate for Crown Prince
that Father has groomed
245
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:18,800
for over a decade.
246
00:13:18,833 --> 00:13:20,567
If Gu Qingshu were to be exposed,
247
00:13:20,567 --> 00:13:21,267
tell me,
248
00:13:21,933 --> 00:13:24,667
wouldn't the noble families
and officials backing the other princes
249
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,733
all rise up and attack you?
250
00:13:27,667 --> 00:13:28,333
What?
251
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:30,600
You want to get rid of me?
252
00:13:31,733 --> 00:13:33,133
I don't want your life.
253
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,133
I just want you to stop
254
00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:38,067
bothering
Commandery Princess Zhaoning.
255
00:13:40,467 --> 00:13:41,800
This is just a small request.
256
00:13:42,467 --> 00:13:44,233
I hope you'll consider it seriously.
257
00:14:02,867 --> 00:14:05,300
How could Crown Prince know
about Gu Qingshu's existence?
258
00:14:05,433 --> 00:14:06,667
I was careless.
259
00:14:08,067 --> 00:14:09,067
However, through this,
260
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,833
I've seen his true colors.
261
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,800
It's not a total loss.
262
00:14:14,867 --> 00:14:15,733
Are you saying
263
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,567
he's faking his illness?
264
00:14:17,567 --> 00:14:19,233
I don't think he's faking it.
265
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:22,333
But he must have his own sources
of intelligence in the court.
266
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,133
Our every move
267
00:14:24,967 --> 00:14:26,267
is under his control.
268
00:14:28,033 --> 00:14:29,567
I had considered that the Crown Prince
269
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,833
might be someone
who hides his true abilities.
270
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,133
But I never expected that
271
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,400
while he was alone
and away from the capital,
272
00:14:36,967 --> 00:14:38,367
he could weave
273
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:40,867
such a large and intricate web.
274
00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:43,833
Then, Changqing,
275
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,333
what do you plan to do?
276
00:14:46,167 --> 00:14:48,567
The Crown Prince may be powerful enough
to stir up storms,
277
00:14:52,233 --> 00:14:53,667
but he cannot threaten
278
00:14:54,900 --> 00:14:56,033
me, Xiao Changqing.
279
00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:03,267
I switched out the descendant
of a convicted official.
280
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:04,500
My crime is unforgivable.
281
00:15:05,033 --> 00:15:06,667
I ask for your severe punishment,
Father.
282
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:08,567
It's been so long.
283
00:15:09,133 --> 00:15:11,433
You're only just now remembering
to confess to me?
284
00:15:11,567 --> 00:15:12,367
Shu...
285
00:15:13,567 --> 00:15:14,867
has reached marriageable age.
286
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,500
If I were to keep her hidden
for her entire life,
287
00:15:18,767 --> 00:15:20,067
I'm afraid Qingzhi would resent me
288
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,567
for not taking good care of her sister.
289
00:15:21,633 --> 00:15:23,733
Today, I've dared to bring her
before you, Father.
290
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,067
For all my crimes,
291
00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:27,233
I am willing to bear the consequences.
292
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,067
Changqing,
293
00:15:38,633 --> 00:15:41,800
I know that you are grieving the loss
of your beloved wife
294
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:44,200
and your heart is still heavy.
295
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,367
Since you dared
to save Second Young Lady Gu,
296
00:15:50,433 --> 00:15:51,767
it is my will
297
00:15:52,967 --> 00:15:54,633
to bestow her upon you.
298
00:15:55,567 --> 00:15:56,633
Thank you, Your Majesty.
299
00:15:56,633 --> 00:15:57,267
- Father,
- I...
300
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,067
Shu is my wife's younger sister.
301
00:15:59,567 --> 00:16:01,233
I have always regarded her
as my own sister.
302
00:16:02,233 --> 00:16:03,567
Qingzhi passed away not long ago.
303
00:16:03,967 --> 00:16:06,233
I am not yet willing to remarry
or take a concubine.
304
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:08,667
Fine.
305
00:16:09,033 --> 00:16:10,467
Then I won't force you.
306
00:16:11,433 --> 00:16:12,400
Thank you, Father.
307
00:16:14,833 --> 00:16:15,800
Thank you, Your Majesty.
308
00:16:17,433 --> 00:16:20,133
(Prince Xin's Manor)
309
00:16:20,433 --> 00:16:22,600
This is the second time
you've saved my life.
310
00:16:23,067 --> 00:16:24,433
I truly don't know
311
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,367
how to repay you.
312
00:16:26,433 --> 00:16:27,867
It was His Majesty who pardoned you.
313
00:16:28,833 --> 00:16:29,733
Besides,
314
00:16:30,467 --> 00:16:32,000
I didn't do this for you,
315
00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:33,367
nor do I need to be repaid.
316
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:34,567
No, Brother-in-law.
317
00:16:36,633 --> 00:16:39,233
Since childhood, I have never
been doted on by my elders.
318
00:16:40,167 --> 00:16:41,367
After the Gu family's downfall,
319
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,467
it was under your protection
320
00:16:42,733 --> 00:16:44,167
that I was lucky enough to survive.
321
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:45,433
If you wouldn't mind,
322
00:16:46,033 --> 00:16:47,900
I am willing to serve you
in my sister's place.
323
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:48,867
I look after you
324
00:16:49,733 --> 00:16:51,733
because you are Qingzhi's
only living relative.
325
00:16:51,967 --> 00:16:53,133
There is no other reason.
326
00:16:54,033 --> 00:16:54,667
Also,
327
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,633
you must remember this.
328
00:16:59,667 --> 00:17:00,900
There is no one in this world
329
00:17:02,433 --> 00:17:03,767
who can replace Qingzhi.
330
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:08,233
I'll have someone escort you back.
331
00:17:15,733 --> 00:17:17,067
No one can replace her?
332
00:17:20,133 --> 00:17:21,967
What about Commandery Princess Zhaoning?
333
00:17:27,467 --> 00:17:30,867
(East Palace)
334
00:17:34,033 --> 00:17:35,400
Your Highness, how are
335
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:36,600
your eyes feeling?
336
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:39,667
Although I still can't
distinguish colors,
337
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:41,633
the stinging and dryness
338
00:17:42,167 --> 00:17:42,967
have improved a lot.
339
00:17:58,667 --> 00:17:59,733
Since we are now allies,
340
00:18:00,300 --> 00:18:01,367
I won't be a stranger.
341
00:18:01,833 --> 00:18:03,100
Thank you for your trouble.

I wonder if you've heard
349
00:19:04,367 --> 00:19:05,800
that in the Imperial Study today,
350
00:19:06,033 --> 00:19:07,233
Changqing met with His Majesty
351
00:19:07,367 --> 00:19:09,200
and admitted that three years ago,
in prison,
352
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,267
he secretly swapped out the descendant
of a convicted official.
353
00:19:11,267 --> 00:19:12,067
Who was it?
354
00:19:12,167 --> 00:19:14,000
The second daughter of the Gu family,
355
00:19:14,267 --> 00:19:15,100
Gu Qingshu.
356
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,167
Not only did Father not blame her,
357
00:19:20,167 --> 00:19:22,400
but he even returned some
of the Gu family's assets to her.
358
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,800
He also granted her the title
of County Princess Liyang.
359
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,267
What are you thinking about?
360
00:19:33,033 --> 00:19:34,100
I'm thinking
361
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,367
about how these ladies
from prominent families
362
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:38,767
can fall from grace overnight,
363
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,967
reduced to dust,
364
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,567
and just as quickly,
365
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:44,200
they can be restored to glory.
366
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:48,933
If a lady doesn't take control
of her own destiny,
367
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,867
she will be like a rootless duckweed.
368
00:19:52,433 --> 00:19:53,833
Never mind the second Gu daughter.
369
00:19:55,767 --> 00:19:56,867
Even the eldest,
370
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:58,300
Gu Qingzhi,
371
00:19:59,367 --> 00:20:00,833
the paragon of ladies in the capital,
372
00:20:00,933 --> 00:20:02,167
the foremost among noblewomen,
373
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:03,633
didn't want to marry Changqing,
374
00:20:03,833 --> 00:20:04,833
but she had no choice.
375
00:20:05,667 --> 00:20:07,100
In the end, she met a tragic fate.
376
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,733
But I think
377
00:20:09,633 --> 00:20:10,567
Gu Qingzhi
378
00:20:10,967 --> 00:20:12,433
never bowed to fate.
379
00:20:12,967 --> 00:20:14,200
When her family was destroyed,
380
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,933
she still held her destiny
381
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,467
firmly in her own hands.
382
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,800
What do you mean by that?
383
00:20:30,867 --> 00:20:32,933
With Gu Qingzhi's intelligence
and resourcefulness,
384
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,800
if she had wanted to,
385
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,267
she could have found a thousand ways
to avoid marrying into the royal family.
386
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,867
But a lady
with upbringing and responsibility
387
00:20:38,867 --> 00:20:40,300
etched into her very being
388
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:41,867
would not, for her own selfish reasons,
389
00:20:41,967 --> 00:20:44,000
abandon the mission
her family entrusted to her.
390
00:20:44,167 --> 00:20:46,367
Marrying Changqing
was an all-or-nothing gamble.
391
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,467
She knew long ago
392
00:20:47,567 --> 00:20:50,467
that the struggle between noble families
would inevitably lead to bloodshed.
393
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,800
So, as Prince Xin's Consort,
394
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,767
she guarded the Gu family
and protected her clan.
395
00:20:55,167 --> 00:20:57,400
Although the Gu family
was ultimately defeated,
396
00:20:57,667 --> 00:20:58,600
I believe
397
00:20:59,867 --> 00:21:02,733
that Gu Qingzhi's heart was free
of regret and guilt.
398
00:21:04,233 --> 00:21:05,300
They were a family.
399
00:21:05,833 --> 00:21:07,033
They supported each other.
400
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:08,300
working together.
401
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:10,567
She had no choice
but to take responsibility.
402
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,467
She did everything she could.
403
00:21:13,667 --> 00:21:16,833
And she used her own life to set a trap
and avenge the Gu family.
404
00:21:30,167 --> 00:21:31,767
Why are you looking at me like that?
405
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,967
It's nothing.
406
00:21:37,933 --> 00:21:39,800
I'm just a little surprised.
407
00:21:54,967 --> 00:21:57,800
This must be the Songyue Blade,
which can slice through iron like mud.
408
00:21:57,967 --> 00:21:59,267
Just the agate on it...
409
00:21:59,267 --> 00:22:00,933
A single stone is worth a fortune.
410
00:22:01,733 --> 00:22:02,833
I see you have good taste.
411
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,200
My best friend is celebrating
a happy occasion.
412
00:22:05,333 --> 00:22:06,933
So I'm hosting a drinking contest here.
413
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,667
Whoever can beat me,
414
00:22:08,667 --> 00:22:09,633
this precious blade
415
00:22:09,933 --> 00:22:10,933
will be theirs.
416
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,633
Young Master Bu,
417
00:22:17,933 --> 00:22:19,000
I'll take you on.
418
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:20,100
Young Master Hu.
419
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:24,233
- Nice!
- Awesome!
420
00:22:24,767 --> 00:22:25,300
Please.
421
00:22:27,733 --> 00:22:29,467
- Young Master Bu.
- Young Master Hu.
422
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:30,400
Stop drinking.
423
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:31,567
Stop drinking.
424
00:22:31,567 --> 00:22:33,733
Stop drinking. How much have they had?
425
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:35,833
- Jin Shan.
- Yes.
426
00:22:35,833 --> 00:22:37,000
Fill it up for me!
427
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,300
Young Master,
maybe you shouldn't drink anymore.
428
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,267
Fill it up.
429
00:22:59,433 --> 00:23:01,200
- Vice Minister Cui.
- Vice Minister Cui.
430
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:03,400
Stone Cui.
431
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:05,867
Pour the liquor.
432
00:23:06,967 --> 00:23:08,233
You two are evenly matched.
433
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,400
If you keep drinking,
434
00:23:09,567 --> 00:23:10,900
I'm afraid you'll harm yourselves.
435
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,267
Why don't we call it a draw?
436
00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:14,100
The blade will still belong
to Young Master Bu.
437
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,000
Young Master Hu,
438
00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:18,233
I'll give you a fine blade
some other day.
439
00:23:19,167 --> 00:23:19,933
All right, then.
440
00:23:22,233 --> 00:23:22,767
Let's go.
441
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,767
I'll take you home.
442
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,367
Who are you to me?
443
00:23:34,367 --> 00:23:36,400
What gives you the right
to make decisions for me?
444
00:23:40,767 --> 00:23:41,767
Jin Shan, bring the blade.
445
00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:42,433
Yes.
446
00:23:44,633 --> 00:23:45,233
Young Master Hu.
447
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,400
Quickly.
448
00:23:55,633 --> 00:23:56,933
Go get a bowl of sobering soup.
449
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:57,767
Yes.
450
00:23:57,933 --> 00:24:00,000
Jin Shan, pour the liquor.
451
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,567
Drink.
452
00:24:00,833 --> 00:24:01,800
Drink him to death.
453
00:24:02,467 --> 00:24:03,867
This is completely improper.
454
00:24:15,067 --> 00:24:16,467
Vice Minister Cui.
455
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:26,233
You're very handsome.
456
00:24:27,033 --> 00:24:28,833
Your words and actions are outrageous.
457
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:30,367
You're drunk out of your mind.
458
00:24:47,267 --> 00:24:50,000
Where did he go?
459
00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:52,467
He's gone...
460
00:24:52,667 --> 00:24:55,933
(Clarity and Serenity)
461
00:24:55,967 --> 00:24:56,600
Your Highness,
462
00:24:56,867 --> 00:24:59,167
I asked Young Master Bu
to find some live bees.
463
00:24:59,633 --> 00:25:01,833
Physician Xie can use
the stingers of wild bees
464
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:04,100
to stimulate your acupoints
and treat your eye condition.
465
00:25:04,367 --> 00:25:05,500
Thank you for your concern.
466
00:25:06,367 --> 00:25:07,600
It's just a small matter.
467
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,600
To you,
468
00:25:09,767 --> 00:25:10,933
it may be a small matter.
469
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,767
But to me,
470
00:25:13,933 --> 00:25:14,967
it is precious.
471
00:25:19,033 --> 00:25:20,567
Physician Xie, you may begin.
472
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,367
Could you
473
00:25:31,067 --> 00:25:32,067
stay here with me?
474
00:25:34,067 --> 00:25:34,633
All right.
475
00:25:35,833 --> 00:25:36,967
I'll wait here.
476
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:10,600
Physician Xie said
477
00:26:10,833 --> 00:26:13,200
these stings will heal
in three to five days.
478
00:26:13,633 --> 00:26:15,600
You just need to rest and recover.
479
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:33,800
Your Highness,
it's time for your medicine.
480
00:27:09,533 --> 00:27:10,967
There's nothing wrong with your hands.
481
00:27:11,267 --> 00:27:12,767
Yet you insist on being served.
482
00:27:14,567 --> 00:27:15,500
I'm...
483
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,200
too weak to take care of myself.
484
00:27:25,233 --> 00:27:26,267
In half a month,
485
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,233
after my coming-of-age ceremony,
486
00:27:30,167 --> 00:27:31,400
I will ask my father
487
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:33,933
to arrange our marriage. How about that?
488
00:27:36,367 --> 00:27:37,633
We've already agreed.
489
00:27:37,933 --> 00:27:39,733
This is a mutually
beneficial arrangement.
490
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,467
It's best not to get
too emotionally involved.
491
00:27:43,267 --> 00:27:44,467
I don't want a future
492
00:27:44,667 --> 00:27:46,100
where you expect all your efforts
493
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:47,067
to be reciprocated.
494
00:27:47,633 --> 00:27:49,067
When you can't get what you want,
495
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,267
you'll grow resentful.
496
00:27:53,067 --> 00:27:53,567
All right.
497
00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:55,567
Then in the future,
498
00:27:56,167 --> 00:27:57,400
no matter how I treat you,
499
00:27:57,767 --> 00:27:59,200
I do it of my own free will.
500
00:27:59,467 --> 00:28:01,100
You don't have to feel indebted to me.
501
00:28:02,233 --> 00:28:03,867
With a response like that,
502
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:04,967
are you satisfied?
503
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:07,967
I am.
504
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,400
Your Highness,
from what Commandery Princess said,
505
00:28:33,467 --> 00:28:34,900
it seems she's willing to marry you.
506
00:28:35,633 --> 00:28:37,633
But she was so blunt
about her lack of feelings.
507
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,433
As long as she's willing to marry me,
that's enough.
508
00:28:43,533 --> 00:28:44,900
First, I'll secure the marriage.
509
00:28:45,467 --> 00:28:46,733
Then, I'll win her heart.
510
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,400
If she isn't devoted to me,
511
00:28:50,633 --> 00:28:52,533
it just means I haven't been
good enough to her.
512
00:28:54,633 --> 00:28:58,067
(Jade Terrace and Auspicious Dew)
513
00:29:00,733 --> 00:29:03,000
Who is Bian Xianyi close with
in the palace?
514
00:29:03,567 --> 00:29:04,667
Is there any new information?
515
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,267
She doesn't like
to draw attention to herself.
516
00:29:06,267 --> 00:29:08,167
When she doesn't have
to attend palace banquets,
517
00:29:08,167 --> 00:29:09,800
she keeps to herself
and rarely goes out.
518
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,867
Move!
519
00:29:24,367 --> 00:29:25,767
I didn't mean to offend you.
520
00:29:25,767 --> 00:29:27,000
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
521
00:29:31,767 --> 00:29:32,433
It's fine.
522
00:29:32,967 --> 00:29:33,833
Don't worry about it.
523
00:29:35,067 --> 00:29:36,967
Princess Pingling ordered me to...
524
00:29:37,067 --> 00:29:38,367
Did the fall knock you senseless?
525
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,033
If you're still breathing,
526
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:44,433
then climb back up there
and get it for me.
527
00:29:47,733 --> 00:29:48,300
Mo Yu.
528
00:29:55,067 --> 00:29:56,167
Shen Xihe.
529
00:29:56,833 --> 00:29:57,733
You see me,
530
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,333
and you don't even come forward
to greet me?
531
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:04,433
I heard
that because of the cliff incident,
532
00:30:04,567 --> 00:30:07,400
His Majesty punished you by making
you copy the Heart Sutra 100 times.
533
00:30:07,633 --> 00:30:08,800
It seems
534
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:10,367
that copying scriptures
535
00:30:10,633 --> 00:30:12,200
has failed to improve your character.
536
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:12,867
You...
537
00:30:13,667 --> 00:30:14,933
How dare you mock me?
538
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:15,633
I...
539
00:30:26,733 --> 00:30:28,567
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
540
00:30:28,867 --> 00:30:29,500
Your Highness.
541
00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:35,400
Shen Xihe,
542
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:37,467
you're becoming more
and more insolent!
543
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,767
I have no grudge against you.
544
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Why did you deliberately cause me
to fall off the cliff?
545
00:30:43,033 --> 00:30:44,300
I only whipped your horse.
546
00:30:44,667 --> 00:30:46,167
Who knew it would run toward a cliff?
547
00:30:46,933 --> 00:30:48,400
What does that have to do with me?
548
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,167
So you did it, but you won't admit it.
549
00:30:51,833 --> 00:30:52,367
Forget it.
550
00:30:52,633 --> 00:30:54,267
I can't be bothered to argue with you.
551
00:30:57,233 --> 00:30:58,767
But let me give you a word of warning.
552
00:30:59,667 --> 00:31:01,167
If there's a next time,
553
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,000
it won't be as simple as
just breaking your nose.
554
00:31:04,333 --> 00:31:06,867
How dare you threaten Her Highness
with such insubordination?
555
00:31:10,867 --> 00:31:12,433
You failed to serve Her Highness well.
556
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,567
Her Highness doesn't have the heart
to blame you,
557
00:31:14,967 --> 00:31:16,833
so I taught you a lesson on her behalf.
558
00:31:21,033 --> 00:31:22,933
I'm sure you won't blame me
559
00:31:22,933 --> 00:31:24,533
for overstepping my bounds, right?
560
00:31:28,633 --> 00:31:29,733
It's getting late.
561
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:31,733
We have plenty of time.
562
00:31:32,367 --> 00:31:33,500
I will come
563
00:31:33,667 --> 00:31:34,833
visit you again another day.
564
00:31:40,633 --> 00:31:42,067
- Your Highness.
- It hurts so much.
565
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:43,267
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
566
00:31:43,267 --> 00:31:44,500
What are you standing around for?
567
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:45,833
Go to the Imperial Medical Office!
568
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,700
Your Highness, are you just going
to let her off the hook?
569
00:31:49,967 --> 00:31:51,100
She's spoiled and arrogant.
570
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:53,800
All she knows is how to be condescending
and provocative.
571
00:31:54,033 --> 00:31:54,833
She's no threat.
572
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:57,733
However, the one
who sent assassins after me
573
00:31:58,067 --> 00:32:00,000
and threatened Bian Xianyi
into poisoning me
574
00:32:00,767 --> 00:32:02,767
is the real venomous snake
hiding by my side.
575
00:32:03,533 --> 00:32:05,100
We must investigate this thoroughly.
576
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:07,000
- Yes.
- Yes.
577
00:32:10,167 --> 00:32:13,333
(Cultivate Virtue
and Practice Righteousness)
578
00:32:14,167 --> 00:32:14,667
Your Highness,
579
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:17,600
this bronze sachet was found
in Bian Xianyi's room.
580
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,767
There's still some incense residue
on it.
581
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:24,433
First, take this item
582
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,067
to Commandery Princess's Residence.
583
00:32:26,433 --> 00:32:29,000
Then, find out which types
of incense are used in each palace.
584
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,567
Yes.
585
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:34,200
This fragrance is
Three Balanced Elements Incense.
586
00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:36,667
It's an incense made
from borneol, musk powder,
587
00:32:36,667 --> 00:32:38,833
and the finest agarwood.
588
00:32:38,867 --> 00:32:41,200
The formula is exquisite
and the ingredients are expensive.
589
00:32:41,867 --> 00:32:43,167
Ordinary people wouldn't use it.
590
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,300
Palace maids and attendants
591
00:32:45,367 --> 00:32:47,333
certainly couldn't afford
this kind of incense.
592
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Your Highness,
593
00:32:50,833 --> 00:32:52,867
Crown Prince sent over this report
on incense usage.
594
00:32:56,867 --> 00:32:59,367
(Monthly Incense Usage Report)
595
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,067
This Three Balanced Elements Incense
is only used in three places.
596
00:33:02,167 --> 00:33:03,467
Princess Pingling's chambers,
597
00:33:03,467 --> 00:33:05,133
the Empress Dowager's
Buddhist prayer hall,
598
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:06,733
and Consort Liang's chambers.
599
00:33:06,733 --> 00:33:09,167
I've noticed that silk sachets
are more common in the palace.
600
00:33:09,267 --> 00:33:10,800
Bronze incense holders are rarely used.
601
00:33:18,667 --> 00:33:20,433
This pattern is unique to northwest.
602
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,367
Your Highness, look.
603
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,867
The flowers are so beautiful this year.
604
00:33:44,033 --> 00:33:45,267
Greetings, Your Highness.
605
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,300
There's no need for such formalities.
606
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,067
I am a bit tired.
607
00:33:50,633 --> 00:33:52,067
Please, feel free to stay.
608
00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:56,367
Your Highness,
609
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:59,633
I have something
I'd like to return to you.
610
00:34:10,767 --> 00:34:12,400
Who says this belongs to me?
611
00:34:13,933 --> 00:34:15,367
I don't recognize this item.
612
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:20,567
This was found in Bian Xianyi's room.
613
00:34:21,267 --> 00:34:22,400
Your Highness,
614
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,633
do you wish to argue this
before His Majesty?
615
00:34:26,567 --> 00:34:28,067
I have so many sachets.
616
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,100
Who can be bothered
to remember every single one?
617
00:34:30,367 --> 00:34:32,367
That Bian Xianyi was a good dancer.
618
00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:34,633
Perhaps I gifted it to her before.
619
00:34:34,767 --> 00:34:36,433
Or maybe she stole it.
620
00:34:36,633 --> 00:34:38,033
How would I remember?
621
00:34:39,367 --> 00:34:41,633
But I must advise you.
622
00:34:41,967 --> 00:34:43,667
It's best to watch what you say.
623
00:34:43,933 --> 00:34:45,367
I am His Majesty's consort.
624
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:47,933
How dare you slander me
with baseless accusations?
625
00:34:53,833 --> 00:34:54,767
Tell Mo Yuan
626
00:34:55,067 --> 00:34:56,500
to gather evidence of her crimes.
627
00:34:57,033 --> 00:34:58,367
Present it all to His Majesty.
628
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,633
She has intentionally plotted murder.
629
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:02,467
She has several lives on her hands.
630
00:35:03,233 --> 00:35:04,267
She cannot be spared.
631
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:06,967
Yes.
632
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,200
Your Highness, if Commandery Princess
Zhaoning refuses to let this go,
633
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,100
what should we do?
634
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:12,967
What is there to fear?
635
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,400
I am the Emperor's consort.
636
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:16,633
No matter how arrogant she is,
637
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:18,300
she is merely the daughter
of a subject.
638
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:20,067
What could she possibly do to me?
639
00:35:20,367 --> 00:35:20,933
Yes.
640
00:35:28,367 --> 00:35:30,067
Throw out all the sachets
in my chambers.
641
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:30,967
Yes.
642
00:36:09,233 --> 00:36:09,833
Go.
643
00:36:11,333 --> 00:36:11,933
Your Highness.
644
00:36:11,933 --> 00:36:13,733
I'll go get the imperial physician
right away.
645
00:36:13,767 --> 00:36:14,433
It's nothing.
646
00:36:14,833 --> 00:36:15,667
The wound isn't deep.
647
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,433
Bai Fu is usually so gentle.
648
00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:20,400
It's always been closest
to you, Your Highness.
649
00:36:20,467 --> 00:36:22,033
Why did it suddenly go wild?
650
00:36:23,867 --> 00:36:25,367
An animal is just an animal.
651
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:34,267
Xiao Changyu.
652
00:36:35,500 --> 00:36:37,500
Look at you, half-dead.
653
00:36:38,033 --> 00:36:39,800
When will you ever avenge your uncle?
654
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,400
That useless Bian Xianyi.
655
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,533
She failed
to poison Commandery Princess Zhaoning
656
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,667
and ended up poisoning herself to death.
657
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,500
Because of Shen Xihe,
658
00:36:49,933 --> 00:36:52,033
your uncle, Ye Qi,
was exiled a thousand miles away
659
00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:54,467
and died in a land of pestilence.
660
00:36:55,167 --> 00:36:56,333
Those wretches in the palace,
661
00:36:56,833 --> 00:36:58,500
knowing I have no family to support me,
662
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:00,400
humiliate me as they please.
663
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,767
You must get rid of Shen Xihe
for my sake.
664
00:37:07,567 --> 00:37:08,700
Xianyi is gone.
665
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,167
My heart
666
00:37:11,667 --> 00:37:12,600
is gone with her.
667
00:37:13,067 --> 00:37:13,767
Nonsense.
668
00:37:14,767 --> 00:37:17,000
You think Bian Xianyi
was deeply in love with you?
669
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:17,500
The truth...
670
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,233
The truth is,
she was using me all along.
671
00:37:19,967 --> 00:37:21,267
She used me for protection,
672
00:37:21,767 --> 00:37:23,567
to fend off her unwanted suitors.
673
00:37:24,433 --> 00:37:25,833
In reality, she loved someone else.
674
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,033
I knew all of it.
675
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,000
You knew?
676
00:37:31,267 --> 00:37:33,167
Then why did you
still protect that wench?
677
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,633
How much longer
will you let a dead person
678
00:37:37,633 --> 00:37:39,033
haunt your heart?
679
00:37:39,467 --> 00:37:41,333
If that sickly Crown Prince
680
00:37:41,333 --> 00:37:42,433
marries Shen Xihe
681
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:43,967
and gains the support of northwest,
682
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,367
his position on the throne
will be secured.
683
00:37:46,367 --> 00:37:48,100
What chance will you have then?
684
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,567
Mother,
685
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:59,200
I have never wanted to fight for it.
686
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:02,167
I have disappointed you.
687
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,033
Useless.
688
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:12,833
Useless!
689
00:38:28,967 --> 00:38:29,767
Physician Huang,
690
00:38:30,033 --> 00:38:31,233
what's wrong with Her Highness?
691
00:38:34,167 --> 00:38:36,400
It seems to be an external affliction
from pathogenic wind.
692
00:38:36,667 --> 00:38:39,100
Her Highness's qi and blood
were already somewhat deficient.
693
00:38:39,767 --> 00:38:42,567
I will first prescribe a formula
to dispel wind and relieve the exterior.
694
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:44,700
You must ensure Her Highness takes it
on schedule.
695
00:38:44,933 --> 00:38:46,500
She should recover in a few days.
696
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,333
Li Yanhui, you don't
still think you're a princess, do you?
697
00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:28,267
If it weren't
for His Majesty's arranged marriage,
698
00:39:28,267 --> 00:39:29,933
do you think you would have survived?
699
00:39:33,267 --> 00:39:36,033
County Princess Liyang used me
to provoke Prince Ding's Consort
700
00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:37,500
and cause trouble.
701
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,400
If I had been cut
by these porcelain shards,
702
00:39:39,633 --> 00:39:41,167
would that have been what you wanted?
