Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,967
Your Highness.
2
00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:16,967
Have you persuaded
3
00:00:16,967 --> 00:00:17,833
Prince Lie?
4
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:19,267
Of course.
5
00:00:20,133 --> 00:00:22,467
A bold young man like Changying
is bound to lose his heart
6
00:00:22,633 --> 00:00:25,000
when he meets a woman as extraordinary
7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,333
as the Commandery Princess.
8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,833
I couldn't bear to see
someone born to be a great general
9
00:00:29,833 --> 00:00:30,900
trapped in the treacherous
10
00:00:30,967 --> 00:00:33,067
and calculated world
of the imperial capital.
11
00:00:35,433 --> 00:00:36,233
What about you?
12
00:00:36,433 --> 00:00:37,000
Me?
13
00:00:38,233 --> 00:00:39,767
Someone as frail and sickly as I am
14
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:41,967
is better suited
for matters of the heart.
15
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:51,800
Huayong.
16
00:00:51,967 --> 00:00:52,833
Changying?
17
00:00:53,167 --> 00:00:54,233
What are you doing here?
18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,833
I went to the East Palace earlier.
19
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,033
The attendants said
you were in the Imperial Garden.
20
00:00:58,033 --> 00:00:59,167
So I came
21
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:00,400
to thank you in person.
22
00:01:01,767 --> 00:01:02,567
We're brothers.
23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,000
There's no need for formalities.
24
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:05,633
Your words
25
00:01:05,767 --> 00:01:07,033
were a true awakening for me.
26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,300
I've decided to ask for Commandery
Princess Zhaoning's hand in marriage.
27
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:12,167
Between the Anlan Army
and the Northwest Army,
28
00:01:12,167 --> 00:01:13,133
I can only choose one.
29
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,300
I'm willing to give up
command of the Anlan Army
30
00:01:17,633 --> 00:01:18,933
and serve under the Duke of Wei
31
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:20,800
as one of the Northwest Army.
32
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:22,900
This is my pledge
to the commandery princess.
33
00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:24,900
It will also fulfill my wish
to defend our homeland
34
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:26,367
and fight on the battlefield.
35
00:01:27,633 --> 00:01:28,567
I...
36
00:01:32,933 --> 00:01:34,200
Is that
37
00:01:34,867 --> 00:01:36,233
what I meant?
38
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:38,767
Rest assured, Huayong.
39
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,933
I'll never tell Changqing
about your advice.
40
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:43,500
At the hunting grounds that day,
41
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:46,267
you also confessed your feelings
to the Commandery Princess.
42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,567
Yet you still put my happiness first.
43
00:01:49,267 --> 00:01:50,500
I truly admire
44
00:01:50,567 --> 00:01:52,167
your generosity and character.
45
00:01:52,567 --> 00:01:53,200
If one day
46
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:54,933
I truly marry the Commandery Princess,
47
00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:55,800
the first person
48
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:57,267
I'll thank will be you.
49
00:01:58,867 --> 00:01:59,933
I'll take my leave.
50
00:02:06,367 --> 00:02:06,933
Your Highness.
51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,800
So this is how you persuaded Prince Lie?
52
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:37,700
=Blossoms of Power=
53
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,533
(Adapted from the novel, After My
Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)
54
00:03:40,567 --> 00:03:43,533
=Episode 8=
55
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:52,633
How lovely.
56
00:03:53,667 --> 00:03:54,900
Come take a look.
57
00:03:56,167 --> 00:03:58,433
Mother, come have something delicious.
58
00:03:59,533 --> 00:04:00,900
It's the Double Ninth Festival.
59
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,533
So many people have come to
Yunling Mountain to pray for blessings.
60
00:04:03,767 --> 00:04:04,600
Your Highness.
61
00:04:04,633 --> 00:04:05,633
I prepared five color cakes
62
00:04:05,633 --> 00:04:07,700
and chrysanthemum liquor
early this morning.
63
00:04:08,267 --> 00:04:10,233
Shall we find a place
to rest for a while?
64
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:11,067
All right.
65
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:13,367
Your Highness.
66
00:04:14,433 --> 00:04:15,833
The pavilion is full of young ladies.
67
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,300
Please rest here for a while.
68
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,667
I'll go buy you a kite.
69
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,933
Young Lady,
70
00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:27,067
would you like a cornel bracelet?
71
00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:29,267
There's only one left.
72
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:37,033
Thank you, Young Lady.
73
00:05:05,567 --> 00:05:06,933
- Let's rest up ahead.
- All right.
74
00:05:07,433 --> 00:05:07,933
Let's go.
75
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:11,067
Such a sight is rarely seen.
76
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,733
Indeed.
77
00:05:20,633 --> 00:05:23,300
- A snake!
- There is a snake!
78
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:38,933
What's happening
on the mountaintop ahead?
79
00:05:38,933 --> 00:05:39,733
Why is it so noisy?
80
00:05:39,833 --> 00:05:41,200
Quick. Let's go take a look.
81
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:41,967
All right.
82
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:51,633
Your Highness.
83
00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:10,133
Be careful not to get hurt.
84
00:06:11,133 --> 00:06:12,667
- Please forgive us, Your Highness.
- Please forgive us, Your Highness.
85
00:06:12,667 --> 00:06:14,800
- We failed to protect you.
- We failed to protect you.
86
00:06:14,867 --> 00:06:15,567
Get up.
87
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,767
This isn't your fault.
88
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,433
Your Highness!
89
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,233
I have failed you.
90
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:21,767
I should never have left your side.
91
00:06:21,767 --> 00:06:22,433
You too, get up.
92
00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:25,067
There's no need to blame yourself.
93
00:06:25,233 --> 00:06:26,933
They were after me all along.
94
00:06:27,867 --> 00:06:30,167
Who would use such a vicious method?
95
00:06:31,867 --> 00:06:33,600
We've already caught the culprit.
96
00:06:33,833 --> 00:06:34,367
Move.
97
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,567
Let's go.
98
00:06:43,867 --> 00:06:46,467
Today, Tian Yuan and I came here
to pray for blessings.
99
00:06:46,467 --> 00:06:47,300
When it happened,
100
00:06:47,733 --> 00:06:49,033
we were halfway up the mountain.
101
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,467
He must be the culprit.
102
00:06:51,867 --> 00:06:53,267
Why are you arresting me?
103
00:06:53,267 --> 00:06:54,767
You can't just seize people at random!
104
00:06:54,767 --> 00:06:55,833
Is there no justice left?
105
00:06:56,033 --> 00:06:57,233
The powerful are killing people!
106
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,033
They treat human lives like nothing!
107
00:06:59,133 --> 00:07:01,567
Everyone rushed toward the pavilion
108
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,800
to see what had happened.
109
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:04,000
Then why were you
110
00:07:04,033 --> 00:07:05,367
the only one heading the other way?
111
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,933
I had an urgent matter at home.
112
00:07:06,967 --> 00:07:08,800
Was I not allowed
to hurry down the mountain?
113
00:07:09,133 --> 00:07:11,200
You handled snakes
to keep from being bitten,
114
00:07:11,633 --> 00:07:13,167
so you covered your hands with realgar.
115
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:15,033
Why would an ordinary hiker
116
00:07:15,267 --> 00:07:17,200
coat both hands with realgar?
117
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:19,567
I've been bitten by snakes before.
118
00:07:19,667 --> 00:07:21,633
I use realgar to keep them away.
119
00:07:21,933 --> 00:07:23,167
What law have I broken?
120
00:07:26,767 --> 00:07:28,167
Little girl, come here.
121
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,633
Tell me,
122
00:07:31,933 --> 00:07:33,267
who told you
123
00:07:33,467 --> 00:07:34,833
to sell me this cornel bracelet?
124
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,367
It was him.
125
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:38,567
You little brat!
126
00:07:38,767 --> 00:07:40,233
How can you make up such lies?
127
00:07:40,567 --> 00:07:41,633
You're talking nonsense!
128
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:44,933
You sprinkled snake lure powder on it
129
00:07:45,433 --> 00:07:46,467
to attract venomous snakes.
130
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:48,167
The cornel
131
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,867
masked the scent
of the snake lure powder.
132
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,633
The evidence and witnesses are all here.
133
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,467
What else do you
have to say for yourself?
134
00:07:53,633 --> 00:07:54,200
I...
135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,067
Still not telling the truth?
136
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,400
It was the second young lady
of Vice Minister Hu's family.
137
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:01,933
I had no choice but to obey.
138
00:08:04,267 --> 00:08:05,467
(It's Hu Yingrao.)
139
00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:12,633
Tian Yuan.
140
00:08:13,133 --> 00:08:14,600
Hand this man over to Cui Jinbai.
141
00:08:14,767 --> 00:08:16,400
He'll take care of the rest.
142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,300
Yes.
143
00:08:20,267 --> 00:08:20,833
Let's go.
144
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,833
It's rare to come up here.
145
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:30,767
Don't let that wretched girl
146
00:08:30,833 --> 00:08:32,333
from the Hu family spoil your mood.
147
00:08:33,833 --> 00:08:35,367
Allow me to treat you to some tea.
148
00:08:35,667 --> 00:08:36,500
What do you say?
149
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,567
Had Your Highness
not captured the culprit,
150
00:08:45,867 --> 00:08:47,000
he would've escaped by now.
151
00:08:47,833 --> 00:08:49,167
Thank you, Your Highness.
152
00:08:49,967 --> 00:08:51,467
There's no need for thanks.
153
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:52,667
Your business
154
00:08:53,033 --> 00:08:53,900
is my business.
155
00:09:03,633 --> 00:09:04,633
How do you intend
156
00:09:05,033 --> 00:09:06,433
to deal with Hu Yingrao?
157
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:11,667
Seat her
158
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:13,400
where I was sitting in the pavilion.
159
00:09:14,167 --> 00:09:15,233
Release the venomous snakes.
160
00:09:15,967 --> 00:09:17,767
Whether she's bitten
161
00:09:18,033 --> 00:09:19,167
or falls off the cliff
162
00:09:19,467 --> 00:09:21,000
will depend on her own fate.
163
00:09:22,833 --> 00:09:25,633
You are as decisive as ever.
164
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:26,967
Truly bold and heroic.
165
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,133
Do you think Hu Yingrao targeted you
166
00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:37,967
simply because of your beauty?
167
00:09:41,667 --> 00:09:43,867
Hu Yingrao is a distant relative
of Noble Consort Rong.
168
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,000
She has come and gone
from the palace since childhood.
169
00:09:46,433 --> 00:09:48,133
Noble Consort Rong dotes on her greatly.
170
00:09:48,267 --> 00:09:50,567
She has always hoped to unite
the families through marriage.
171
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,500
She is the one Noble Consort Rong
172
00:09:53,833 --> 00:09:55,167
truly wanted to become
173
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:57,367
Prince Lie's consort.
174
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:18,100
Please enjoy your tea.
175
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:26,333
(Duke of Wei's Manor)
176
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:27,900
There's some skin balm in here.
177
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,467
It's highly effective
178
00:10:29,633 --> 00:10:30,567
for cuts and bruises.
179
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,633
My apologies, Prince Lie.
180
00:10:33,667 --> 00:10:35,300
The Commandery Princess
gave strict orders
181
00:10:35,333 --> 00:10:37,033
that nothing may be accepted.
182
00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:37,967
And...
183
00:10:38,767 --> 00:10:39,900
she won't see you either.
184
00:10:43,033 --> 00:10:44,033
She means
185
00:10:45,967 --> 00:10:47,767
to draw a clear line between us?
186
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,367
The Commandery Princess
has never had feelings for you.
187
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:32,300
(Duke of Wei's Manor)
188
00:11:55,067 --> 00:11:56,000
Your Highness.
189
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Prince Lie is still standing
outside the gate.
190
00:11:58,367 --> 00:12:00,400
At this rate,
he'll stand there all night.
191
00:12:00,433 --> 00:12:01,767
The rain is coming down so hard.
192
00:12:01,867 --> 00:12:03,267
Won't he get sick?
193
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,433
Go tell him
194
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:07,533
he's free to stand
in the rain wherever he likes.
195
00:12:08,067 --> 00:12:10,000
Just not in front
of Duke of Wei's Manor.
196
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,167
Your Highness.
197
00:12:12,433 --> 00:12:14,433
Prince Lie is deeply devoted to you.
198
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,033
Don't you think
199
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,833
you're being too harsh?
200
00:12:18,133 --> 00:12:19,267
One moment you show concern,
201
00:12:19,333 --> 00:12:20,500
the next you soften your heart.
202
00:12:20,633 --> 00:12:22,433
How long can this back and forth go on?
203
00:12:23,733 --> 00:12:26,000
Indecision only brings more trouble.
204
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,400
Yes.
205
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:35,200
Your Highness.
206
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000
Will you still meet
the Crown Prince tomorrow?
207
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,167
Yes.
208
00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:42,567
The Crown Prince is rather strange.
209
00:12:42,567 --> 00:12:44,800
Your Highness, your injuries
delayed you for several days.
210
00:12:44,867 --> 00:12:46,667
The Double Ninth Festival
has already ended.
211
00:12:46,767 --> 00:12:48,600
Why does he still
want you to go up the tower?
212
00:12:49,233 --> 00:12:51,500
I gave him my word
that I'd accompany him up the tower.
213
00:12:52,133 --> 00:12:53,367
I intend to keep it.
214
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:02,467
(Favorable Weather
and Abundant Harvests)
215
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:03,567
Your Highness.
216
00:13:04,133 --> 00:13:05,467
The Double Ninth Festival is over.
217
00:13:06,033 --> 00:13:07,733
The lantern market
has already been cleared.
218
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:11,000
You invited me up here
to admire the lanterns.
219
00:13:11,133 --> 00:13:13,067
Which lanterns did you wish to show me?
220
00:13:37,667 --> 00:13:38,833
Do you like it,
221
00:13:40,267 --> 00:13:41,200
even just a little?
222
00:13:43,733 --> 00:13:44,900
Fireworks are beautiful,
223
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:46,767
but they fade in an instant,
224
00:13:47,733 --> 00:13:48,833
leaving only lingering regret.
225
00:14:22,567 --> 00:14:25,200
♪The timeless wind and moon♪
226
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,400
♪Quietly reflect in your sparkling eyes♪
227
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:30,267
Commandery Princess.
228
00:14:30,367 --> 00:14:32,000
Every lantern across the city tonight
229
00:14:32,033 --> 00:14:33,733
was specially made
at Crown Prince's command
230
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,033
and delivered to every household.
231
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,233
The palace invited eminent monks
to offer prayers and blessings.
232
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:40,367
Any household that keeps
its lanterns lit until dawn
233
00:14:40,667 --> 00:14:41,967
will receive the monks' blessings.
234
00:14:42,767 --> 00:14:43,467
That's why
235
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:45,000
the people have all joined in eagerly.
236
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,033
It's even grander than
237
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,867
the Double Ninth Lantern Festival.
238
00:14:49,767 --> 00:14:53,567
♪Not a trace of sorrow can be found♪
239
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,067
I can feel
240
00:15:06,067 --> 00:15:07,700
the thought you put into all this.
241
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,433
I simply took the opportunity
242
00:15:13,433 --> 00:15:14,433
to bring you
243
00:15:15,167 --> 00:15:16,133
a little joy.
244
00:15:24,033 --> 00:15:24,967
Thank you
245
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:27,367
for letting me behold
the splendor of the imperial capital.
246
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,433
The wind is strong up here.
247
00:15:28,633 --> 00:15:30,333
You shouldn't stay out
and catch a chill.
248
00:15:30,967 --> 00:15:32,167
We should head back.
249
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:36,467
All right.
250
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:39,500
I'll walk you back.
251
00:15:48,967 --> 00:15:49,500
By the way,
252
00:15:51,267 --> 00:15:52,200
how are your injuries?
253
00:15:54,867 --> 00:15:56,833
I had that ointment
prepared especially for you.
254
00:15:59,067 --> 00:16:00,600
Thank you for your kindness.
255
00:16:02,833 --> 00:16:04,733
With such
a beautiful display of lanterns,
256
00:16:05,167 --> 00:16:06,567
I'd like to stroll a little longer.
257
00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:07,567
All right.
258
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,100
There's something I'd like to tell you.
259
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:31,067
What happened with the Hu family
260
00:16:31,133 --> 00:16:32,367
was my fault for involving you.
261
00:16:34,433 --> 00:16:35,233
I came to apologize.
262
00:16:36,767 --> 00:16:37,800
It's already over.
263
00:16:38,233 --> 00:16:39,200
I'm unharmed.
264
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,733
Please don't worry, Prince Lie.
265
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,833
Commandery Princess.
266
00:16:48,567 --> 00:16:50,333
What is it about me
that isn't good enough?
267
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,100
Everyone has their own preference.
268
00:16:52,433 --> 00:16:54,133
Just because you have feelings for me,
269
00:16:54,333 --> 00:16:55,733
does that mean I have to be grateful?
270
00:16:56,967 --> 00:16:58,133
That's not what I meant.
271
00:16:58,267 --> 00:16:59,600
I've told you before.
272
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Don't set your heart on me.
273
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:08,767
I've already given my heart away!
274
00:17:09,067 --> 00:17:10,300
I can never take it back!
275
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,800
That's just how life is.
276
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,633
There will always be
things beyond our reach.
277
00:17:15,633 --> 00:17:16,900
I hope you will soon let go.
278
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:29,833
Changqing.
279
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:33,933
Changying.
280
00:17:35,567 --> 00:17:36,300
Let's go.
281
00:17:39,667 --> 00:17:40,833
A young lady like her
282
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,233
can't be won over
283
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:45,633
by persistence.
284
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,067
But...
285
00:17:49,433 --> 00:17:50,600
The more you cling to her,
286
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,433
the more determined she'll be
287
00:17:53,767 --> 00:17:54,767
to leave you.
288
00:18:08,233 --> 00:18:10,033
Have we come a little too far?
289
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,867
Then please rest here for a moment.
290
00:18:13,033 --> 00:18:14,300
I'll go bring the carriage over.
291
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:14,933
All right.
292
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:43,933
Your Highness!
293
00:18:45,167 --> 00:18:45,800
Your Highness!
294
00:19:04,933 --> 00:19:07,033
Noble Consort Rong
may look kind, but she's ruthless.
295
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:08,100
Her methods are vicious.
296
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:09,433
Anyone who knows the truth
297
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,300
would never want
to marry into that family
298
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:12,833
and serve a mother-in-law like her.
299
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,767
Still, both Changqing and Changying
300
00:19:17,067 --> 00:19:19,067
are unwaveringly devoted,
301
00:19:19,167 --> 00:19:20,100
each deeply in love.
302
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:22,833
Your Highness.
303
00:19:22,833 --> 00:19:24,267
You must come up with a plan quickly.
304
00:19:24,433 --> 00:19:25,033
Otherwise,
305
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:26,567
if you don't root out the problem,
306
00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:28,100
it will only return.
307
00:19:31,867 --> 00:19:33,000
How have we walked this far
308
00:19:33,233 --> 00:19:34,233
without seeing Zhaoning?
309
00:20:32,467 --> 00:20:33,100
Speak.
310
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:34,400
Who sent you?
311
00:20:39,533 --> 00:20:41,967
Your Highness, he bit down
on poison and killed himself.
312
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:47,233
Xihe.
313
00:20:50,367 --> 00:20:51,967
- Tian Yuan, prepare the horses.
- Yes.
314
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:04,567
The Commandery Princess's
pulse is extremely unstable.
315
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,500
I've used acupuncture
316
00:21:05,567 --> 00:21:07,600
to temporarily stabilize
her heart meridian.
317
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:09,833
But even if she wakes tomorrow,
318
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:11,967
if she doesn't receive better treatment,
319
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:15,867
I'm afraid she'll spend the rest
of her life confined to this sickbed.
320
00:21:28,067 --> 00:21:29,467
Just tell the Commandery Princess
321
00:21:31,033 --> 00:21:32,400
that she needs complete rest.
322
00:21:33,167 --> 00:21:34,767
Don't tell her anything else for now.
323
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:36,000
Yes.
324
00:21:43,233 --> 00:21:44,033
Your Highness.
325
00:21:44,367 --> 00:21:45,267
I found
326
00:21:45,433 --> 00:21:46,800
traces of liquor in the body.
327
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,867
The assassin drank Jieqianchou.
328
00:21:53,867 --> 00:21:55,300
Jieqianchou is an imperial liquor.
329
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,967
It's only available in the palace.
330
00:21:57,033 --> 00:21:58,433
A fixed amount is issued every year,
331
00:21:58,767 --> 00:22:00,100
and every bottle is accounted for.
332
00:22:00,767 --> 00:22:01,867
We only need to find out
333
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,233
who gave him the Jieqianchou,
334
00:22:04,567 --> 00:22:05,500
and we'll know
335
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,733
who
336
00:22:07,433 --> 00:22:08,833
tried to harm Zhaoning.
337
00:22:09,833 --> 00:22:11,100
I'll investigate it at once.
338
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:17,567
Still no word from Hua Fuhai
about the Extreme Frost Cordyceps?
339
00:22:17,933 --> 00:22:18,733
Only that medicine
340
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,900
can stabilize
Commandery Princess's heart meridian.
341
00:22:20,967 --> 00:22:22,467
I've already sent people to inquire.
342
00:22:22,833 --> 00:22:24,167
It grows on the highest peaks
343
00:22:24,433 --> 00:22:25,600
of the frozen wilderness.
344
00:22:26,333 --> 00:22:28,467
The experts we've sent
have risked their lives,
345
00:22:29,033 --> 00:22:30,600
yet still haven't found it.
346
00:22:57,733 --> 00:22:58,467
Physician Xie.
347
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,733
Why are her hands so cold?
348
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,267
You're awake.
349
00:23:23,833 --> 00:23:25,033
It's you.
350
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:30,467
Come.
351
00:23:33,867 --> 00:23:35,233
What do you mean, "it's you"?
352
00:23:36,233 --> 00:23:37,267
I thought
353
00:23:38,633 --> 00:23:40,000
the one who saved me
354
00:23:41,267 --> 00:23:42,100
was you.
355
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,933
I wish it had been.
356
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,667
But the one who saved you
357
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,467
was my guard.
358
00:24:05,733 --> 00:24:06,767
Still, hearing you say that
359
00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:08,200
makes me very happy.
360
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:14,933
Commandery Princess.
361
00:24:16,267 --> 00:24:18,700
I have urgent business
that requires me to leave the capital.
362
00:24:19,067 --> 00:24:20,167
Take good care of yourself.
363
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,167
I'll come see you again in a few days.
364
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,867
Take care.
365
00:24:43,267 --> 00:24:44,600
Do you know
366
00:24:46,433 --> 00:24:48,067
how much I wished you'd ask me
367
00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:51,433
where I was going
368
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:54,067
and what I was going to do?
369
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:56,600
I'm sure you have your reasons.
370
00:24:57,567 --> 00:24:58,733
There's no need for me to ask.
371
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:09,533
Your Highness,
372
00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:11,433

the foreign kingdoms
would present pomegranates as tribute.
388
00:27:16,733 --> 00:27:17,633
They're juicy and sweet.
389
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:20,233
Their juice can be used to
make pastries for Commandery Princess.

behind him really after?

Your Highness,
this medicine is hard to come by.

Your health must come first.
441
00:31:01,567 --> 00:31:02,233
Here.
442
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,500
How is the investigation
into the assassin going?
443
00:31:12,367 --> 00:31:13,867
Following the Crown Prince's orders,
444
00:31:14,067 --> 00:31:16,000
I found the records on
where the Jieqianchou went.
445
00:31:16,567 --> 00:31:17,933
According to Physician Xie,
446
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:19,567
the assassin didn't drink it that day.
447
00:31:19,567 --> 00:31:21,100
He drank it the day before,
448
00:31:21,233 --> 00:31:22,467
and at least 250 g.
449
00:31:22,633 --> 00:31:23,400
250 g?
450
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,933
Drinking before carrying out
the assassination
451
00:31:28,933 --> 00:31:30,500
to steady his nerves is understandable.
452
00:31:31,767 --> 00:31:33,200
But 250 g...
453
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,167
Wouldn't he be afraid
it would affect the mission?
454
00:31:35,167 --> 00:31:36,533
Based on the condition of the body,
455
00:31:36,533 --> 00:31:38,933
Physician Xie concluded the assassin
was likely from the south.
456
00:31:38,967 --> 00:31:40,433
I also asked Young Master Bu for help.
457
00:31:40,567 --> 00:31:43,300
But none of the southerners living in
or staying in the imperial capital
458
00:31:43,333 --> 00:31:44,167
are under suspicion.
459
00:31:44,267 --> 00:31:46,033
Drinking heavily
before the assassination,
460
00:31:46,467 --> 00:31:48,200
then taking poison
the moment he was exposed,
461
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:50,100
shows he was prepared to die.
462
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:52,933
Perhaps that flask of Jieqianchou
463
00:31:52,933 --> 00:31:53,967
was his reward.
464
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:55,867
A final taste before dying.
465
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:57,400
Mo Yu.
466
00:31:58,433 --> 00:31:59,500
Go find Young Master Bu,
467
00:32:00,067 --> 00:32:02,067
and ask him
to bring Vice Minister Cui here.
468
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,633
Yes.
469
00:32:10,033 --> 00:32:10,667
Young Master.
470
00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:12,100
- What's wrong?
- Young Master.
471
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:13,400
- You're ruining my plans.
- You really can't go in.
472
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,200
The Lord isn't here.
473
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:14,767
Jinbai.
474
00:32:15,367 --> 00:32:16,100
Feeling shy?
475
00:32:20,767 --> 00:32:21,500
Let him in.
476
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,167
Vice Minister Cui
is upright and honorable,
477
00:32:27,167 --> 00:32:28,667
yet this playboy keeps pestering him
478
00:32:28,733 --> 00:32:30,167
and ruining his reputation everywhere.
479
00:32:30,233 --> 00:32:30,933
Outrageous.
480
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speak.
481
00:32:38,100 --> 00:32:39,500
Can't I come
482
00:32:40,567 --> 00:32:42,000
to see you?
483
00:32:48,667 --> 00:32:50,600
A little flirting is harmless.
484
00:32:50,933 --> 00:32:52,100
But drawing a blade
485
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,767
hurts our friendship.
486
00:33:05,967 --> 00:33:06,600
Wait.
487
00:33:14,867 --> 00:33:15,600
Shameless...
488
00:33:22,433 --> 00:33:23,100
Young Master.
489
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,100
(The Greatest Form Is Formless)
You can't do this.
490
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:25,733
- Where are you going?
- What's going on?
491
00:33:25,733 --> 00:33:26,400
Out of the way.
492
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:45,467
Go get a wet cloth,
493
00:33:45,533 --> 00:33:47,467
and bring an incense sachet
to help revive him.
494
00:33:47,667 --> 00:33:48,167
Yes.
495
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:06,800
You're awake?
496
00:34:07,433 --> 00:34:08,000
Want some?
497
00:34:08,333 --> 00:34:08,867
You...
498
00:34:08,967 --> 00:34:10,000
Mind yourself.
499
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,533
Please don't take offense,
Your Highness.
500
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:17,467
Your Highness.
501
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,400
I was the one who invited you here.
502
00:34:19,867 --> 00:34:20,933
If I've been disrespectful,
503
00:34:21,233 --> 00:34:22,633
please forgive me.
504
00:34:24,633 --> 00:34:26,200
How may I assist you, Your Highness?
505
00:34:26,767 --> 00:34:27,533
I suspect someone
506
00:34:27,567 --> 00:34:29,333
was a death row inmate
who was switched out
507
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:30,667
from the imperial prison.
508
00:34:31,367 --> 00:34:33,400
I'd like to ask you to investigate.
509
00:34:41,867 --> 00:34:44,200
Vice Minister Cui works remarkably fast.
510
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:47,433
Aren't you on duty today?
511
00:34:47,833 --> 00:34:49,433
You neglect your duties all day long.
512
00:34:49,467 --> 00:34:51,533
Aren't you afraid
the Grand Censor will impeach you?
513
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,600
Grand Censor Tao knows
514
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,567
the Commandery Princess and I
are close friends.
515
00:34:55,567 --> 00:34:56,767
He'd never impeach me.
516
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:02,800
Your Highness.
517
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,267
I've thoroughly investigated
518
00:35:04,267 --> 00:35:06,167
every government office
in the imperial capital.
519
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,800
I did find the man you were looking for.
520
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:09,600
The condemned man was named Zhang Zhuo.
521
00:35:09,633 --> 00:35:10,833
The one who bought his life
522
00:35:11,067 --> 00:35:12,933
was a poor scholar named Fu Jin.
523
00:35:12,933 --> 00:35:14,200
He's from Xianning Commandery.
524
00:35:16,033 --> 00:35:17,267
A poor scholar?
525
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:19,867
Why would he try to kill me?
526
00:35:22,067 --> 00:35:23,033
Was he
527
00:35:23,033 --> 00:35:24,767
close to any powerful officials?
528
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,800
He kept to himself.
529
00:35:26,867 --> 00:35:27,800
His neighbors also said
530
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,667
they never saw any wealthy
or influential people
531
00:35:29,667 --> 00:35:30,500
visiting his home.
532
00:35:32,633 --> 00:35:33,933
Xianning Commandery...
533
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:39,633
If I remember correctly,
534
00:35:40,233 --> 00:35:41,600
the Bian family's ancestral home
535
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,600
was Xianning.
536
00:35:43,267 --> 00:35:44,333
The Bian family?
537
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:45,967
Isn't Bian Xianyi the only one left?
538
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,667
She has a grudge against you?
539
00:35:49,167 --> 00:35:50,500
I'm only making a guess.
540
00:35:50,867 --> 00:35:52,233
An ancestral home alone
541
00:35:52,467 --> 00:35:53,267
proves nothing.
542
00:35:53,467 --> 00:35:54,833
Why waste time thinking about it?
543
00:35:54,833 --> 00:35:55,700
I'll have her arrested
544
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,067
and beaten until she talks...
545
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,367
Then
546
00:36:05,667 --> 00:36:07,033
arrest Fu Jin?
547
00:36:07,767 --> 00:36:09,367
I have plenty of ways
548
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:11,667
to deal with
a delicate young scholar like him.
549
00:36:13,267 --> 00:36:14,000
Young Master Bu.
550
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,333
This is the imperial capital.
551
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,567
You may disregard propriety
and indulge yourself,
552
00:36:18,633 --> 00:36:21,367
but you must never behave so frivolously
before the Commandery Princess.
553
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,200
Forget it.
554
00:36:25,433 --> 00:36:27,333
I'll watch my words from now on.
555
00:36:27,333 --> 00:36:28,333
I won't
556
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:29,933
offend Your Highness's ears again.
557
00:36:42,567 --> 00:36:43,200
Your Highness.
558
00:36:43,233 --> 00:36:45,667
Fu Jin is a poor scholar
who has earned official qualifications.
559
00:36:45,767 --> 00:36:47,867
I hope Your Highness
can allow me a little more time.
560
00:36:47,967 --> 00:36:49,100
I'll investigate him in secret.
561
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:50,967
No need to trouble a second person.
562
00:36:51,267 --> 00:36:52,267
My health is failing.
563
00:36:53,033 --> 00:36:54,433
With your help,
564
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,467
I'd be most grateful.
565
00:36:57,667 --> 00:36:58,600
I take my leave.
566
00:37:16,433 --> 00:37:17,000
Your Highness.
567
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,167
According to
Vice Minister Cui's investigation,
568
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,533
Bian Xianyi was indeed
connected to the assassin, Fu Jin.
569
00:37:21,667 --> 00:37:23,100
The two were childhood sweethearts
570
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:24,000
and grew up together.
571
00:37:24,167 --> 00:37:25,667
By the time our men went to arrest him,
572
00:37:25,667 --> 00:37:27,067
he was already dead at home.
573
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:29,400
Your Highness.
574
00:37:29,500 --> 00:37:31,233
Bian Xianyi invites you
to have tea with her.
575
00:37:31,233 --> 00:37:33,167
She says she has something
important to tell you.
576
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,567
I hadn't even gone looking for her,
577
00:37:36,067 --> 00:37:37,600
yet she came to me first.
578
00:37:51,067 --> 00:37:51,967
I...
579
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:53,333
ask Your Highness's forgiveness.
580
00:37:56,467 --> 00:37:58,100
I trust Your Highness
has already guessed
581
00:37:58,433 --> 00:38:00,700
that I invited you because of Fu Jin's
582
00:38:00,833 --> 00:38:02,167
attempt to kill you.
583
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
So you admit
584
00:38:04,567 --> 00:38:05,700
you knew Fu Jin?
585
00:38:07,867 --> 00:38:08,967
Fu Jin and I
586
00:38:10,033 --> 00:38:11,600
have known each other since childhood.
587
00:38:12,967 --> 00:38:14,467
The day my family was convicted,
588
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,267
he promised
he would find a way to save me.
589
00:38:18,067 --> 00:38:19,500
So I counted the days,
590
00:38:19,567 --> 00:38:20,933
waiting for him for eight years.
591
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,267
But as far as I know,
592
00:38:23,067 --> 00:38:24,167
all these years,
593
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:26,767
you and the Sixth Prince
have been devoted to each other.
594
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,867
I never had feelings
for the Sixth Prince.
595
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,767
I claimed I refused
to become a concubine
596
00:38:31,967 --> 00:38:33,267
and kept stringing him along.
597
00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:37,167
At first, I was afraid of losing
my only source of protection.
598
00:38:37,867 --> 00:38:39,833
Later, I only hoped
599
00:38:40,867 --> 00:38:42,400
to see Fu Jin again one day.
600
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,100
Your Highness must think I'm despicable
601
00:38:47,567 --> 00:38:48,800
and utterly shameless.
602
00:38:50,867 --> 00:38:52,067
I don't think that.
603
00:38:53,167 --> 00:38:54,600
You're stunningly beautiful,
604
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,233
and only a dancer.
605
00:38:56,667 --> 00:38:58,567
Without the Sixth Prince's protection,
606
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,733
how could you
have lived in peace until now?
607
00:39:03,767 --> 00:39:04,833
Thank you, Your Highness.
608
00:39:05,633 --> 00:39:07,000
But that's beside the point.
609
00:39:07,133 --> 00:39:09,933
You never should have
dragged me into this again and again.
610
00:39:12,433 --> 00:39:13,800
Did you want to kill me,
611
00:39:13,900 --> 00:39:15,833
or were you acting
under someone's orders?
612
00:39:17,767 --> 00:39:18,933
Forgive me,
613
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,033
but I cannot say.
614
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,200
Then you were acting
under someone's orders.
615
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:41,267
Why did you take poison?
616
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:43,333
She...
617
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,167
She told me
618
00:39:46,367 --> 00:39:47,933
that if I poisoned Your Highness,
619
00:39:48,467 --> 00:39:50,567
she would let Fu Jin
and me leave together.
620
00:39:51,367 --> 00:39:52,500
But I know
621
00:39:52,767 --> 00:39:54,200
Fu Jin is already dead.
622
00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:55,833
Now I can go to him.
623
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,500
No one can stop me.
624
00:39:59,433 --> 00:40:01,233
This is the only way
625
00:40:01,633 --> 00:40:03,400
I can protect my family.
626
00:40:03,833 --> 00:40:05,400
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
627
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:09,233
Someone!
628
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:10,267
Someone, quickly!
629
00:40:46,500 --> 00:40:47,367
Your Highness,
630
00:40:47,667 --> 00:40:49,700
this poison was refined
from poisonous mushrooms.
631
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,100
It can destroy
all five vital organs in an instant.
632
00:40:58,333 --> 00:40:59,233
How could
633
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:02,233
such a poison exist in the palace?
634
00:41:06,567 --> 00:41:07,767
Noble Consort Rong,
635
00:41:08,267 --> 00:41:10,433
Bian Xianyi invited me to tea.
636
00:41:11,267 --> 00:41:12,333
But unexpectedly,
637
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,900
she took poison and killed herself.
638
00:41:14,433 --> 00:41:15,233
Your Highness,
639
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,067
there was indeed poison
640
00:41:17,067 --> 00:41:17,967
in both teacups.
641
00:41:18,967 --> 00:41:20,333
Noble Consort Rong,
642
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,400
Bian Xianyi brewed the tea herself.
643
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,767
Many palace attendants
saw her in the tea room.
644
00:41:25,033 --> 00:41:27,200
She also said something strange today.
645
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:28,300
She said that in the future,
646
00:41:28,333 --> 00:41:30,233
she might not be able
to have tea with us again.
647
00:41:32,933 --> 00:41:34,033
In that case,
648
00:41:34,033 --> 00:41:35,667
the truth is clear.
649
00:41:36,933 --> 00:41:39,567
I have also heard
650
00:41:39,867 --> 00:41:41,400
about Bian Xianyi and the Sixth Prince.
651
00:41:42,567 --> 00:41:43,967
Presumably, the Sixth Prince
652
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,400
intended to ask for
Commandery Princess's hand in public.
653
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,700
Driven by jealousy,
654
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,200
Bian Xianyi made a grave mistake
655
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,600
and took her own life out of guilt.
656
00:41:53,433 --> 00:41:54,500
In that case,
657
00:41:55,267 --> 00:41:56,567
have her body
658
00:41:57,267 --> 00:41:58,633
removed according
659
00:41:59,367 --> 00:42:00,433
to palace rules.
660
00:42:02,433 --> 00:42:03,100
- Yes.
- Yes.
661
00:42:07,167 --> 00:42:08,367
Your Highness
662
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:10,233
must have been frightened today.
663
00:42:11,333 --> 00:42:12,700
Why not come to my palace
664
00:42:13,633 --> 00:42:14,933
for some calming tea?
665
00:42:15,433 --> 00:42:16,700
Thank you, Noble Consort Rong.
666
00:42:17,233 --> 00:42:19,033
I'm rather tired.
667
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:20,467
I would like to return and rest.
668
00:42:22,067 --> 00:42:22,867
Very well.
669
00:42:24,033 --> 00:42:26,200
I will not insist.
670
00:42:27,067 --> 00:42:27,700
You may go.
671
00:42:49,933 --> 00:42:51,367
(There are many suspicious details.)
672
00:42:52,233 --> 00:42:53,700
(Who is behind all this?)
673
00:42:54,967 --> 00:42:55,933
(Right now,)
674
00:42:56,367 --> 00:42:57,967
(I have no one to discuss this with.)
675
00:43:38,167 --> 00:43:41,933
(East Palace)
676
00:43:47,367 --> 00:43:51,167
(East Palace)
677
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:09,367
This marriage
678
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:10,833
has nothing to do with love.
679
00:44:11,033 --> 00:44:12,333
Someone with little time left
680
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,033
and no ability to fight back
681
00:44:14,367 --> 00:44:15,500
is exactly what I need.
682
00:44:15,933 --> 00:44:18,300
Commandery Princess Zhaoning
grew up in the northwest.
683
00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:20,567
Every lady from the northwest
knows how to ride.
684
00:44:20,567 --> 00:44:21,467
Today,
685
00:44:21,467 --> 00:44:22,833
let us see for ourselves.
686
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:24,933
Commandery Princess
fell from her horse into a ravine
687
00:44:24,933 --> 00:44:25,933
