Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:12,018 --> 00:00:13,908
Your Highness, are you over the moon right now?
2
00:00:14,838 --> 00:00:15,748
I want to hold it back,
3
00:00:16,228 --> 00:00:17,118
but I just can't.
4
00:00:17,510 --> 00:00:18,550
You said I am the best,
5
00:00:18,566 --> 00:00:20,102
and that you would marry no one but me.
6
00:00:21,118 --> 00:00:21,868
Your Highness,
7
00:00:22,838 --> 00:00:24,398
didn't we agree long ago
8
00:00:24,718 --> 00:00:26,718
that this marriage is mutually beneficial?
9
00:00:27,798 --> 00:00:30,548
Don't tell me you mistakenly thought what I said
10
00:00:30,548 --> 00:00:31,718
was genuinely from my heart?
11
00:00:35,908 --> 00:00:37,438
Why can't you just humor me a bit?
12
00:00:37,686 --> 00:00:38,718
I am very easy to please.
13
00:00:48,517 --> 00:00:51,477
=Episode 13=
14
00:01:02,993 --> 00:01:05,297
Your Highness, you personally escorted me back to my manor.
15
00:01:05,457 --> 00:01:07,297
Four hours have already passed since then.
16
00:01:07,967 --> 00:01:09,087
When are you leaving?
17
00:01:10,247 --> 00:01:11,407
Four hours already?
18
00:01:12,527 --> 00:01:13,857
Time flies so fast.
19
00:01:29,337 --> 00:01:30,737
What are we having for dinner?
20
00:01:31,737 --> 00:01:35,017
When did I ever invite you to have dinner with me, Your Highness?
21
00:01:36,801 --> 00:01:38,207
It's just the way to treat a guest.
22
00:01:38,289 --> 00:01:39,777
I thought you would understand that.
23
00:01:42,087 --> 00:01:44,487
Do you even have the awareness of being a guest?
24
00:01:46,777 --> 00:01:49,487
So you also feel that I am more like the master of the house?
25
00:01:51,505 --> 00:01:52,897
You'd better just stay hungry.
26
00:02:06,177 --> 00:02:07,407
Since you don't want to see me,
27
00:02:07,407 --> 00:02:08,207
I'll just leave.
28
00:02:08,401 --> 00:02:09,825
I'll come to see you another day.
29
00:02:12,513 --> 00:02:13,377
No need to see me out.
30
00:02:27,527 --> 00:02:29,087
Why does it feel like
31
00:02:29,577 --> 00:02:31,857
Crown Prince is acting a bit strange today?
32
00:02:39,247 --> 00:02:40,207
Where is my handkerchief?
33
00:02:42,177 --> 00:02:43,457
Wasn't it just right here?
34
00:02:49,207 --> 00:02:50,727
A Crown Prince
35
00:02:51,345 --> 00:02:53,257
actually turned into a thief for a handkerchief?
36
00:02:54,527 --> 00:02:55,967
Who would believe this if it got out?
37
00:02:56,897 --> 00:02:57,697
Would you believe it?
38
00:03:10,497 --> 00:03:11,137
Your Highness,
39
00:03:11,809 --> 00:03:14,177
ever since you came back from Commandery Princess's place,
40
00:03:14,207 --> 00:03:16,167
you've been in a constant state of excitement.
41
00:03:16,847 --> 00:03:18,897
Your eyes are as bright as the morning star.
42
00:03:19,057 --> 00:03:20,881
I don't even dare to look at you directly.
43
00:03:22,937 --> 00:03:23,647
Tian Yuan,
44
00:03:24,847 --> 00:03:25,697
I...
45
00:03:26,607 --> 00:03:27,967
discovered a secret of Xihe's.
46
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:31,847
Look.
47
00:03:33,897 --> 00:03:35,137
Immortal Vine
48
00:03:35,377 --> 00:03:36,967
is embroidered on this handkerchief?
49
00:03:37,047 --> 00:03:38,207
It really is the Immortal Vine.
50
00:03:40,457 --> 00:03:41,337
Tell me,
51
00:03:41,809 --> 00:03:44,449
Commandery Princess embroidered the Immortal Vine on her handkerchief.
52
00:03:44,577 --> 00:03:45,457
What does this mean?
53
00:03:46,497 --> 00:03:47,647
I don't know the answer.
54
00:03:52,087 --> 00:03:55,087
Although she seems cold on the surface,
55
00:03:55,337 --> 00:03:57,457
she actually values old bonds very much in her heart.
56
00:03:58,167 --> 00:04:00,727
This Immortal Vine once helped her out of a tight spot,
57
00:04:00,897 --> 00:04:02,047
so she never forgot it.
58
00:04:02,727 --> 00:04:04,527
If she treats a mere herb like this,
59
00:04:04,817 --> 00:04:07,407
then what about a person who stays by her side every day
60
00:04:07,697 --> 00:04:09,337
and shares both joys and sorrows with her?
61
00:04:14,937 --> 00:04:16,377
Commandery Princess's thoughts
62
00:04:16,417 --> 00:04:18,241
are very hard for ordinary people to guess.
63
00:04:18,377 --> 00:04:19,207
Moreover,
64
00:04:19,727 --> 00:04:21,287
many people trust objects
65
00:04:21,345 --> 00:04:22,801
more than they trust human hearts.
66
00:04:24,607 --> 00:04:26,417
Wait. Commandery Princess doesn't know
67
00:04:26,449 --> 00:04:28,747
that you were the one who gave her the Immortal Vine.
68
00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:30,817
So, why would she give this handkerchief to you?
69
00:04:32,337 --> 00:04:33,377
You didn't steal
70
00:04:34,207 --> 00:04:35,577
the handkerchief, did you?
71
00:04:38,577 --> 00:04:39,497
It's getting late.
72
00:04:39,969 --> 00:04:42,177
Go prepare for the Jiuxiao Lantern Festival in a few days.
73
00:04:42,187 --> 00:04:43,767
There must not be the slightest mistake.
74
00:04:43,847 --> 00:04:44,647
Understood.
75
00:04:44,689 --> 00:04:46,417
You should also rest early, Your Highness.
76
00:04:49,937 --> 00:04:50,937
What a child.
77
00:04:58,957 --> 00:04:59,877
(Qingfeng House)
78
00:04:59,897 --> 00:05:00,945
Sir, come on in.
79
00:05:00,947 --> 00:05:01,947
- Xihe. - Inside, please.
80
00:05:01,967 --> 00:05:03,967
The shad soup in this restaurant is delicious.
81
00:05:04,047 --> 00:05:05,967
I especially told them to save a large one.
82
00:05:05,967 --> 00:05:06,527
Later on,
83
00:05:06,689 --> 00:05:07,847
let's have drinks together.
84
00:05:08,369 --> 00:05:10,513
Why are you playing the attentive host so much today?
85
00:05:12,257 --> 00:05:14,017
It's all because you
86
00:05:14,017 --> 00:05:15,713
are about to marry the Crown Prince soon.
87
00:05:15,817 --> 00:05:17,257
My heart is broken and grieved.
88
00:05:17,407 --> 00:05:19,257
I was thinking that before you enter the palace,
89
00:05:19,257 --> 00:05:20,817
every extra day I can spend with you
90
00:05:20,817 --> 00:05:22,047
is a day to cherish.
91
00:05:22,047 --> 00:05:23,287
You don't need to be heartbroken.
92
00:05:23,577 --> 00:05:26,137
Without me, you can always go find Vice Minitser Cui.
93
00:05:27,647 --> 00:05:29,577
I don't even need to marry Princess Anling anymore.
94
00:05:29,577 --> 00:05:31,041
Why should I keep looking for him?
95
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:32,647
Well, I feel
96
00:05:32,967 --> 00:05:34,647
that in the way he looks at you,
97
00:05:34,647 --> 00:05:36,017
there is a great deal of affection.
98
00:05:37,607 --> 00:05:38,577
What do you mean by that?
99
00:05:38,577 --> 00:05:39,407
Don't scare me.
100
00:05:41,287 --> 00:05:43,087
Although he acts disgusted verbally,
101
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:45,937
he often appears by your side on purpose.
102
00:05:46,257 --> 00:05:47,407
Can't you feel it at all?
103
00:05:49,647 --> 00:05:51,847
Usually, it's me pestering him,
104
00:05:51,847 --> 00:05:54,027
and he wishes nothing more than to stay far away from me.
105
00:05:59,047 --> 00:05:59,937
Vice Minitser Cui.
106
00:06:02,167 --> 00:06:02,727
Your Highness.
107
00:06:03,287 --> 00:06:03,897
Young Master Bu.
108
00:06:05,649 --> 00:06:06,847
I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
109
00:06:06,847 --> 00:06:09,345
Let's go look around and come back to eat later. Let's go.
110
00:06:18,207 --> 00:06:20,047
(Imperial Guard) Get me a roast goose tonight.
111
00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:20,497
Yes, sir.
112
00:06:27,665 --> 00:06:28,607
I forgot the case files.
113
00:06:28,607 --> 00:06:29,047
Captain,
114
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:31,047
which case files are you talking about?
115
00:06:31,047 --> 00:06:31,817
We brought them all.
116
00:06:31,817 --> 00:06:32,457
Shut up.
117
00:06:34,757 --> 00:06:37,597
(Imperial Guard)
118
00:06:47,953 --> 00:06:48,607
Stop right there.
119
00:06:53,047 --> 00:06:54,497
Why have you been avoiding me lately?
120
00:06:54,817 --> 00:06:55,607
Vice Minitser Cui,
121
00:06:55,607 --> 00:06:57,697
my superior is waiting for me to report on the case.
122
00:06:58,527 --> 00:06:59,087
Excuse me.
123
00:07:12,017 --> 00:07:12,687
Captain Bu.
124
00:07:18,327 --> 00:07:18,737
Wait,
125
00:07:19,287 --> 00:07:20,377
what is wrong with you?
126
00:07:20,401 --> 00:07:21,857
Curfew is about to start in the palace.
127
00:07:21,873 --> 00:07:23,337
What are you still standing here for?
128
00:07:23,447 --> 00:07:24,447
I just wanted to ask you
129
00:07:25,217 --> 00:07:26,377
why you are avoiding me.
130
00:07:26,593 --> 00:07:28,097
My pestering you every day in the past
131
00:07:28,107 --> 00:07:29,407
was making trouble out of nothing.
132
00:07:29,425 --> 00:07:30,137
But rest assured,
133
00:07:30,167 --> 00:07:32,177
from now on, even if I run into you on the street,
134
00:07:32,327 --> 00:07:33,737
I will treat you like a stranger.
135
00:07:37,807 --> 00:07:39,527
I was wrong before, alright?
136
00:07:39,927 --> 00:07:41,117
Please don't take it to heart.
137
00:07:41,169 --> 00:07:42,927
From now on, I'll watch my words and actions
138
00:07:42,945 --> 00:07:44,237
and draw a clear line between us.
139
00:07:45,807 --> 00:07:46,497
Cut ties.
140
00:07:46,497 --> 00:07:47,257
Yes, cut ties.
141
00:07:47,521 --> 00:07:48,857
You pester me whenever you want,
142
00:07:48,857 --> 00:07:50,369
and cut ties whenever you please.
143
00:07:52,497 --> 00:07:53,927
Why are you so willful?
144
00:07:54,257 --> 00:07:54,807
Fine.
145
00:07:55,287 --> 00:07:56,737
Let's make things clear today.
146
00:07:56,737 --> 00:07:57,977
I won't pester you anymore,
147
00:07:57,977 --> 00:07:59,249
and you don't pester me either.
148
00:08:17,601 --> 00:08:19,567
Young Master Bu still refuses to acknowledge you?
149
00:08:23,287 --> 00:08:24,647
Did you say something hurtful?
150
00:08:30,047 --> 00:08:31,897
Tomorrow is the Jiuxiao Lantern Festival.
151
00:08:31,897 --> 00:08:34,067
After the festival, I'll marry Commandery Princess.
152
00:08:34,137 --> 00:08:35,977
Don't wear that half-dead look on your face.
153
00:08:36,257 --> 00:08:37,377
You should look full of joy.
154
00:08:40,617 --> 00:08:41,857
He wants to cut ties with me
155
00:08:42,609 --> 00:08:44,097
and told me not to look for him again.
156
00:08:46,897 --> 00:08:47,897
Is that why
157
00:08:48,377 --> 00:08:49,527
you've been so unhappy?
158
00:08:50,137 --> 00:08:51,737
I just find it baffling.
159
00:08:52,913 --> 00:08:54,287
In the past, when he pestered me,
160
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:55,497
I was utterly annoyed.
161
00:08:55,729 --> 00:08:57,257
But now that he suddenly walks away,
162
00:08:58,567 --> 00:09:00,097
I actually feel suffocated with anger.
163
00:09:01,327 --> 00:09:02,257
I'm angry at myself
164
00:09:03,687 --> 00:09:05,257
for caring about him this much.
165
00:09:11,017 --> 00:09:12,527
You must have lost your heart to him.
166
00:09:14,369 --> 00:09:15,027
Your Highness...
167
00:09:15,217 --> 00:09:15,967
You didn't mishear.
168
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:18,557
Precisely because you've lost your heart to him,
169
00:09:18,567 --> 00:09:19,377
you feel this way.
170
00:09:21,921 --> 00:09:23,287
Please don't joke, Your Highness.
171
00:09:23,287 --> 00:09:23,687
He...
172
00:09:24,097 --> 00:09:25,137
He is a young man.
173
00:09:25,137 --> 00:09:26,327
What if she isn't a man?
174
00:09:27,377 --> 00:09:29,297
Young Master Bu came to the capital as a child.
175
00:09:29,313 --> 00:09:30,247
So many people know him.
176
00:09:30,257 --> 00:09:30,647
How...
177
00:09:32,257 --> 00:09:32,647
How...
178
00:09:33,977 --> 00:09:34,647
How could this
179
00:09:35,137 --> 00:09:36,217
be possible?
180
00:09:39,377 --> 00:09:40,257
I've said enough.
181
00:09:40,897 --> 00:09:42,217
If you want to know the answer,
182
00:09:42,807 --> 00:09:43,777
find a way yourself.
183
00:09:51,517 --> 00:10:00,597
(Jiuxiao Lantern Festival)
184
00:10:09,807 --> 00:10:10,927
How incredible!
185
00:10:33,777 --> 00:10:34,567
Cloud Moon Cake,
186
00:10:35,897 --> 00:10:36,647
Plum Shadow Curd,
187
00:10:37,327 --> 00:10:38,137
and Snow Milk Balls.
188
00:10:38,827 --> 00:10:40,687
These are all festive snacks for the festival.
189
00:10:41,897 --> 00:10:42,407
Try them.
190
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:47,447
Thank you, Your Highness.
191
00:10:49,497 --> 00:10:50,407
Usually,
192
00:10:50,497 --> 00:10:52,167
I see you eat with great restraint.
193
00:10:52,209 --> 00:10:53,707
No matter how much you like something,
194
00:10:53,807 --> 00:10:55,327
you stop after just a few bites.
195
00:10:56,407 --> 00:10:57,767
When you eat with me in the future,
196
00:10:57,809 --> 00:10:59,277
there is no need to be so particular.
197
00:10:59,447 --> 00:11:01,287
Eat as much as you want.
198
00:11:26,327 --> 00:11:27,377
A jade hairpin
199
00:11:28,927 --> 00:11:30,457
signifies a proposal to a primary wife.
200
00:11:32,527 --> 00:11:34,977
As the wind blows, the flowers bloom.
201
00:11:35,447 --> 00:11:36,807
Just like my heart for you,
202
00:11:37,137 --> 00:11:39,473
they are the wind and flowers that never miss their time.
203
00:11:40,287 --> 00:11:41,857
No matter how the years go by,
204
00:11:42,567 --> 00:11:43,567

sleep well tonight.

Tian Yuan, go protect the Commandery Princess.
268
00:16:51,361 --> 00:16:52,217
Commandery Princess.
269
00:16:52,449 --> 00:16:53,777
Go protect the Crown Prince now.
270
00:16:53,787 --> 00:16:55,247

Go now!
272
00:16:56,305 --> 00:16:58,177
We must not let you come to the slightest harm.
273
00:16:58,177 --> 00:16:59,767
Forgive me, but I cannot leave your side.
274
00:17:06,357 --> 00:17:08,217
Commandery Princess, you can't go over there.
275
00:17:22,137 --> 00:17:23,127
It's too dangerous here.
276
00:17:23,127 --> 00:17:24,721
Please go back now, Commandery Princess.
277
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:33,457
The person who just passed by was Princess Ding,
278
00:18:33,937 --> 00:18:34,737
Li Yanhui?
279
00:18:35,793 --> 00:18:38,127
Princess Ding was the princess of the former Nanzhou State.
280
00:18:38,567 --> 00:18:41,017
Are there still subordinates loyal to her by her side?
281
00:18:42,847 --> 00:18:43,937
Since Nanzhou surrendered,
282
00:18:44,049 --> 00:18:45,887
its people have become citizens of our Daxing.
283
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:48,567
However, there are some people
284
00:18:48,677 --> 00:18:50,087
who only take orders from Li Yanhui.
285
00:18:51,327 --> 00:18:53,367
Does Your Highness think this assassination attempt
286
00:18:53,367 --> 00:18:54,737
is related to Princess Ding?
287
00:18:56,417 --> 00:18:58,697
Today is the national memorial day of Nanzhou.
288
00:18:59,121 --> 00:19:00,737
Li Yanhui went out with her face covered,
289
00:19:01,077 --> 00:19:03,287
likely to quietly pay respects to her former homeland.
290
00:19:06,357 --> 00:19:11,397
(Clarity and Serenity)
291
00:19:23,217 --> 00:19:23,807
Your Highness,
292
00:19:24,177 --> 00:19:25,177
during the search,
293
00:19:25,187 --> 00:19:27,967
the Palace Guard found Prince Ding's Consort, Li Yanhui, by the river.
294
00:19:28,417 --> 00:19:30,497
They asked why she was there late at night,
295
00:19:30,777 --> 00:19:31,767
but she remained silent.
296
00:19:32,257 --> 00:19:33,697
Just as they were in a bind,
297
00:19:33,937 --> 00:19:35,417
Prince Ding arrived to vouch for her
298
00:19:35,585 --> 00:19:36,887
and insisted on taking her away.
299
00:19:37,265 --> 00:19:39,177
The riverside is a place for memorial rituals.
300
00:19:39,921 --> 00:19:42,001
It seems your suspicion was correct, Your Highness.
301
00:19:42,457 --> 00:19:44,047
Li Yanhui traveled masked at night
302
00:19:44,077 --> 00:19:45,607
to pay tribute to her former homeland.
303
00:19:49,177 --> 00:19:49,697
Oh,
304
00:19:50,367 --> 00:19:51,887
she was bundled up tonight.
305
00:19:52,087 --> 00:19:53,367
How did you determine right away
306
00:19:53,567 --> 00:19:54,657
that she was Li Yanhui?
307
00:19:55,287 --> 00:19:57,417
The scent I noticed on Li Yanhui
308
00:19:57,937 --> 00:20:00,567
is identical to the incense Prince Ding uses.
309
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:05,777
But you have only met them
310
00:20:05,887 --> 00:20:06,887
once.
311
00:20:08,127 --> 00:20:09,017
Once is enough.
312
00:20:12,607 --> 00:20:14,697
Even with the same ingredients, if the ratio differs,
313
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:16,177
I can still detect it.
314
00:20:17,017 --> 00:20:19,047
Last time, at Prince Ding's manor,
315
00:20:19,697 --> 00:20:21,257
I noticed the incense Prince Ding used
316
00:20:21,257 --> 00:20:22,697
was "Four Rejections Incense".
317
00:20:23,127 --> 00:20:25,177
That is usually favored by poor scholars
318
00:20:25,187 --> 00:20:27,017
to show their elegant contentment with poverty.
319
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:27,977
The scent is faint.
320
00:20:28,807 --> 00:20:30,087
Yet Prince Ding
321
00:20:30,177 --> 00:20:32,657
carefully blended top-tier ingredients.
322
00:20:33,327 --> 00:20:35,287
This formula must be his own creation.
323
00:20:35,377 --> 00:20:36,497
I could not have mistaken it.
324
00:20:39,017 --> 00:20:40,527
Your sense of smell is extraordinary.
325
00:20:41,377 --> 00:20:42,327
You are uniquely gifted.
326
00:21:08,047 --> 00:21:09,607
Your Highness, what is wrong?
327
00:21:10,457 --> 00:21:11,607
I never understood
328
00:21:11,607 --> 00:21:14,217
how Commandery Princess saw through my disguise so quickly.
329
00:21:15,257 --> 00:21:16,217
I wanted to know,
330
00:21:16,887 --> 00:21:18,937
if someone impersonates an official,
331
00:21:19,257 --> 00:21:20,457
what would the punishment be?
332
00:21:22,177 --> 00:21:23,087
Now,
333
00:21:24,527 --> 00:21:25,777
I finally understand.
334
00:21:31,417 --> 00:21:34,017
Every time before I disguised myself to see her,
335
00:21:34,777 --> 00:21:35,777
I would take a pill
336
00:21:35,777 --> 00:21:37,567
containing Tagara Incense
337
00:21:38,017 --> 00:21:39,287
to alter my voice.
338
00:21:41,807 --> 00:21:43,887
She recognized it based on the scent
339
00:21:44,607 --> 00:21:45,657
of Tagara Incense.
340
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:47,327
The scent is very faint.
341
00:21:48,127 --> 00:21:49,497
Normal people cannot detect it.
342
00:21:49,497 --> 00:21:50,767
But the Commandery Princess can.
343
00:21:52,127 --> 00:21:53,977
The ratio of this Tagara Incense formula
344
00:21:54,527 --> 00:21:56,057
was custom-blended for me by the abbot
345
00:21:56,457 --> 00:21:58,047
when I was at the Taoist temple.
346
00:21:58,127 --> 00:21:59,127
It is the only one.
347
00:21:59,887 --> 00:22:00,777
Normally,
348
00:22:01,367 --> 00:22:02,887
I wear Father's sachet,
349
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:04,497
which has a very strong herbal scent.
350
00:22:04,847 --> 00:22:06,887
So it masked the lingering scent of Tagara Incense,
351
00:22:07,057 --> 00:22:08,567
preventing her from recognizing me.
352
00:22:08,977 --> 00:22:09,557
Your Highness,
353
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:13,249
among those gifts you sent to the Commandery Princess,
354
00:22:13,697 --> 00:22:14,527
one of them
355
00:22:15,047 --> 00:22:16,607
is a pair of Tagara Incense bracelets.
356
00:22:19,877 --> 00:22:20,977
She has not seen them yet.
357
00:22:22,977 --> 00:22:24,087
If she sees it,
358
00:22:24,287 --> 00:22:26,657
she will know that I am the one with the Tagara incense.
359
00:22:27,417 --> 00:22:29,607
She will also understand my strategy in court,
360
00:22:29,607 --> 00:22:30,567
and she will understand
361
00:22:32,737 --> 00:22:34,427
that I am not the man she thinks I am,
362
00:22:35,017 --> 00:22:36,847
a Crown Prince with no backing.
363
00:22:37,997 --> 00:22:38,567
Your Highness.
364
00:22:39,287 --> 00:22:39,905
Your Highness.
365
00:22:42,177 --> 00:22:42,737
Your Highness.
366
00:22:44,977 --> 00:22:46,737
Quick! Summon the Chief Imperial Physician!
367
00:22:47,567 --> 00:22:48,127
Your Highness.
368
00:22:48,807 --> 00:22:49,457
Your Highness!
369
00:22:53,025 --> 00:22:54,657
Crown Prince's cold toxin is flaring up.
370
00:22:54,657 --> 00:22:55,687
Prepare the medicinal bath.
371
00:22:55,697 --> 00:22:56,627
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
372
00:22:56,673 --> 00:22:58,127
Quick. Move faster, everyone.
373
00:23:11,857 --> 00:23:13,937
- Greetings, Your Majesty. - Greetings, Your Majesty.
374
00:23:17,017 --> 00:23:17,807
Rise.
375
00:23:19,737 --> 00:23:21,017
How is the Crown Prince?
376
00:23:21,127 --> 00:23:22,127
Replying to Your Majesty,
377
00:23:22,457 --> 00:23:23,657
the toxin in his body
378
00:23:23,807 --> 00:23:25,777
is already hardest to suppress in winter.
379
00:23:26,367 --> 00:23:28,327
Today, a sudden surge of severe anxiety and anger
380
00:23:28,327 --> 00:23:29,937
caused the toxin to spiral out of control.
381
00:23:31,047 --> 00:23:31,887
Tian Yuan,
382
00:23:31,897 --> 00:23:34,767
why did the Crown Prince suffer such a sudden surge of anxiety and anger?
383
00:23:37,737 --> 00:23:38,847
I do not know either.
384
00:23:39,233 --> 00:23:40,241
It is my incompetence
385
00:23:40,277 --> 00:23:42,337
for failing to take proper care of Crown Prince.
386
00:23:42,353 --> 00:23:43,697
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
387
00:23:44,177 --> 00:23:44,847
Your Majesty,
388
00:23:45,097 --> 00:23:46,705
the Crown Prince needs a medicinal bath,
389
00:23:46,721 --> 00:23:48,507
followed by acupuncture to clear his acupoints,
390
00:23:48,517 --> 00:23:50,277
before his condition can be temporarily eased.
391
00:23:50,289 --> 00:23:51,009
Only...
392
00:23:51,527 --> 00:23:52,457
Only what?
393
00:23:52,937 --> 00:23:54,177
The risk is very high.
394
00:23:54,177 --> 00:23:55,177
A single mistake
395
00:23:55,457 --> 00:23:56,287
could lead to...
396
00:23:58,367 --> 00:24:01,087
I have only a 30 percent chance of success.
397
00:24:01,087 --> 00:24:02,017
Thirty percent?
398
00:24:05,887 --> 00:24:07,847
Is there really no other way?
399
00:24:08,137 --> 00:24:09,927
The poison flared up too violently this time.
400
00:24:09,937 --> 00:24:11,397
If we don't administer acupuncture immediately,
401
00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:12,305
I'm afraid he might...
402
00:24:14,657 --> 00:24:15,417
Your Majesty,
403
00:24:15,737 --> 00:24:16,777
let them treat him.
404
00:24:17,327 --> 00:24:18,257
At a time like this,
405
00:24:18,257 --> 00:24:20,127
we can't afford to hesitate anymore.
406
00:24:20,127 --> 00:24:21,257
Any further delay,
407
00:24:21,257 --> 00:24:23,607
and I'm afraid Huayong will be in grave danger.
408
00:24:25,287 --> 00:24:26,737
What are you still standing there for?
409
00:24:26,737 --> 00:24:27,713
Go treat him now.
410
00:24:27,745 --> 00:24:29,505
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
411
00:24:39,887 --> 00:24:40,847
Xihe,
412
00:24:41,287 --> 00:24:42,977
given Huayong's current condition,
413
00:24:43,217 --> 00:24:43,937
are you
414
00:24:44,047 --> 00:24:46,887
still willing to marry into the East Palace?
415
00:24:50,217 --> 00:24:52,287
Your father entrusted you to us.
416
00:24:52,417 --> 00:24:54,497
If you want to back out now,
417
00:24:56,177 --> 00:24:58,017
we would never blame you.
418
00:25:02,087 --> 00:25:02,777
Your Majesty,
419
00:25:03,665 --> 00:25:04,641
Grand Empress Dowager,
420
00:25:06,527 --> 00:25:08,887
husband and wife are one, for better or worse.
421
00:25:10,287 --> 00:25:12,327
If I were the one lying on the sickbed right now,
422
00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:15,217
I wouldn't want my husband to abandon me either.
423
00:25:17,177 --> 00:25:19,697
The Crown Prince and I share a bond of hearts.
424
00:25:20,047 --> 00:25:21,047
My mind is made up.
425
00:25:24,567 --> 00:25:26,217
To have such character and grace,
426
00:25:27,177 --> 00:25:29,217
you are worthy of being the Crown Princess.
427
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:35,127
I shall take my leave.
428
00:25:43,527 --> 00:25:44,457
Youyou...
429
00:25:44,657 --> 00:25:45,287
I'm here.
430
00:25:45,569 --> 00:25:46,567
What did you want to say?
431
00:25:53,367 --> 00:25:54,567
Why are your hands so cold?
432
00:25:57,887 --> 00:25:59,607
Go build up the charcoal fire.
433
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:00,977
Move it closer.
434
00:26:00,977 --> 00:26:01,287
Yes.
435
00:26:01,287 --> 00:26:02,457
And bring another blanket.
436
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:03,047
Yes.
437
00:26:24,847 --> 00:26:26,287
How can they still be this cold?
438
00:26:36,607 --> 00:26:37,657
All of you may leave us.
439
00:26:38,127 --> 00:26:38,777
- Yes. - Yes.
440
00:26:56,937 --> 00:26:57,777
Youyou...
441
00:26:58,607 --> 00:26:59,287
I'm here.
442
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:04,327
Youyou,
443
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,327
there are things I want to tell you.
444
00:27:07,327 --> 00:27:08,527
You don't need to say anything.
445
00:27:08,937 --> 00:27:10,217
Just focus on getting better.
446
00:27:53,087 --> 00:27:55,217
Your Majesties,
447
00:27:55,367 --> 00:27:56,367
after the acupuncture,
448
00:27:56,369 --> 00:27:58,757
the toxin inside the Crown Prince's body has been suppressed.
449
00:27:58,847 --> 00:28:00,087
Once he wakes up,
450
00:28:00,177 --> 00:28:01,177
he will be out of danger.
451
00:28:01,807 --> 00:28:02,937
Wonderful.
452
00:28:04,497 --> 00:28:05,887
I will be waiting outside the hall.
453
00:28:11,087 --> 00:28:11,847
Zhaoning,
454
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:15,497
you've been looking after Huayong day and night without rest.
455
00:28:15,497 --> 00:28:16,607
It's been hard on you.
456
00:28:17,807 --> 00:28:19,127
Commandery Princess Zhaoning,
457
00:28:19,697 --> 00:28:22,327
now you can finally put your mind at ease.
458
00:28:22,887 --> 00:28:24,367
Go back and get some rest early.
459
00:28:25,497 --> 00:28:28,047
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesties.
460
00:28:28,367 --> 00:28:30,777
I will come to visit the Crown Prince again tomorrow.
461
00:28:40,287 --> 00:28:41,887
If you keep pushing yourself
462
00:28:42,017 --> 00:28:43,257
and fall ill as well,
463
00:28:43,367 --> 00:28:44,657
what are we to do then?
464
00:28:45,607 --> 00:28:48,217
The Crown Prince's cold toxin has been suppressed.
465
00:28:48,289 --> 00:28:50,167
We don't need to stay up keeping watch anymore.
466
00:28:50,527 --> 00:28:52,017
The bed has already been scented.
467
00:28:52,177 --> 00:28:53,807
Please go and get a good night's sleep.
468
00:28:54,017 --> 00:28:54,887
I'm not tired yet.
469
00:28:56,457 --> 00:28:57,937
There's one thing
470
00:28:58,047 --> 00:28:59,409
I haven't been able to figure out.
471
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:01,767
Right after I left the East Palace,
472
00:29:01,877 --> 00:29:03,217
the Crown Prince had his relapse.
473
00:29:04,287 --> 00:29:05,807
When His Majesty asked about it,
474
00:29:06,087 --> 00:29:07,367
Tian Yuan cast a glance at me.
475
00:29:08,327 --> 00:29:09,497
Could it be
476
00:29:10,887 --> 00:29:13,087
that Crown Prince's sudden surge of anxiety and anger
477
00:29:13,087 --> 00:29:14,567
actually had something to do with me?
478
00:29:14,697 --> 00:29:15,847
And these past few days,
479
00:29:16,417 --> 00:29:17,697
whenever Tian Yuan sees me,
480
00:29:17,807 --> 00:29:18,937
he acts so strangely.
481
00:29:19,607 --> 00:29:21,937
The Crown Prince's health has always fluctuated.
482
00:29:22,545 --> 00:29:24,337
Please don't worry too much, Your Highness.
483
00:29:33,807 --> 00:29:34,457
Your Highness,
484
00:29:34,561 --> 00:29:35,567
the Grand Minister of Rites
485
00:29:35,567 --> 00:29:37,667
has arrived with the imperial decree for your marriage.
486
00:29:38,417 --> 00:29:41,607
By the grace of Heaven, a union is ordained.
487
00:29:41,807 --> 00:29:45,367
The Crown Prince is of noble character and supreme virtue.
488
00:29:45,847 --> 00:29:48,607
As he has come of age, the East Palace needs a mistress.
489
00:29:48,937 --> 00:29:52,047
Shen Xihe, the eldest daughter of Duke of Wei, Shen Yueshan,
490
00:29:52,047 --> 00:29:54,527
comes from an illustrious family and possesses all four virtues.
491
00:29:54,527 --> 00:29:56,527
She is hereby betrothed to the Crown Prince.
492
00:29:56,737 --> 00:29:58,087
By Imperial Order.
493
00:29:59,807 --> 00:30:00,737
Thank you, Your Majesty.
494
00:30:03,217 --> 00:30:04,177
I accept the decree.
495
00:30:12,367 --> 00:30:13,737
Congratulations, Your Highness.
496
00:30:14,497 --> 00:30:16,177
I must return to the palace to report.
497
00:30:16,187 --> 00:30:18,177
I'll visit another day to offer my congratulations.
498
00:30:18,337 --> 00:30:20,161
Thank you for your trouble, Minister Zhang.
499
00:30:20,527 --> 00:30:21,847
Mo Yu, see our guest out.
500
00:30:31,337 --> 00:30:33,457
These are the betrothal gifts from the Crown Prince.
501
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:35,297
Would you like to examine them, Your Highness?
502
00:30:36,807 --> 00:30:37,607
Bring them all in.
503
00:30:38,721 --> 00:30:39,505
Yes, Your Highness.
504
00:30:48,327 --> 00:30:48,887
Your Highness,
505
00:30:49,497 --> 00:30:50,497
you're finally awake.
506
00:30:59,585 --> 00:31:01,257
Have you gotten back the pair of bracelets
507
00:31:01,345 --> 00:31:02,705
I gave the Commandery Princess
508
00:31:03,287 --> 00:31:04,367
as her betrothal gift?
509
00:31:05,737 --> 00:31:06,697
It is already too late.
510
00:31:06,977 --> 00:31:07,737
What do you mean?
511
00:31:08,657 --> 00:31:09,457
Commandery Princess,
512
00:31:09,457 --> 00:31:10,937
there are 20 pieces of jade here.
513
00:31:10,937 --> 00:31:12,087
I only brought a few chests
514
00:31:12,087 --> 00:31:13,177
for you to look at first.
515
00:31:13,177 --> 00:31:14,777
The rest are stored in the warehouse.
516
00:31:20,689 --> 00:31:23,567
There are also 50 kg of gold and 10,000 taels of silver in the warehouse.
517
00:31:25,041 --> 00:31:26,217
Look at this, Your Highness.
518
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:28,913
This is a golden dangling hairpin adorned with twin blossoms.
519
00:31:29,807 --> 00:31:30,657
And this one,
520
00:31:31,127 --> 00:31:33,327
a gold-threaded butterfly hairpin with a dangling pearl.
521
00:31:34,497 --> 00:31:35,737
How exquisite.
522
00:31:37,417 --> 00:31:38,177
Lately,
523
00:31:38,401 --> 00:31:39,857
I tried everything I could,
524
00:31:39,921 --> 00:31:42,727
but those betrothal gifts had already been registered the inventory.
525
00:31:42,737 --> 00:31:44,929
No one could touch them without His Majesty's decree.
526
00:31:45,417 --> 00:31:46,457
And early this morning,
527
00:31:46,625 --> 00:31:48,497
they were delivered to the Duke of Wei's Manor.
528
00:31:50,087 --> 00:31:51,047
There is also this,
529
00:31:51,257 --> 00:31:53,327
a dragon-and-phoenix auspicious platter.
530
00:31:53,729 --> 00:31:56,385
You can use it when you have pastries in the future, Your Highness.
531
00:31:56,567 --> 00:31:58,777
The Crown Prince sent so many gifts,
532
00:31:59,217 --> 00:32:01,367
and each one was chosen with the utmost care.
533
00:32:22,847 --> 00:32:23,977
Tagara Incense?
534
00:32:25,887 --> 00:32:27,657
What did you say, Your Highness?
535
00:32:29,017 --> 00:32:30,257
My name is Hua Fuhai.
536
00:32:30,777 --> 00:32:31,807
I came today
537
00:32:32,217 --> 00:32:35,497
hoping to request the return of the Immortal Vine, Your Highness.
538
00:32:36,033 --> 00:32:37,761
The Embroidered Envoys are handling a case.
539
00:32:38,367 --> 00:32:39,657
Anyone who dares to interfere
540
00:32:40,367 --> 00:32:41,617
will be executed without mercy.
541
00:32:42,433 --> 00:32:44,705
I'm Vice Minister Cui of the Court of Judicial Review.
542
00:32:44,993 --> 00:32:46,967
I have been waiting here for you, Your Highness,
543
00:32:47,281 --> 00:32:49,601
to investigate the case of the escaped slave, Ling Long.
544
00:32:50,327 --> 00:32:51,697
In this world,
545
00:32:51,847 --> 00:32:54,721
the richest, the best fighters, and those with the brightest futures
546
00:32:54,753 --> 00:32:57,007
all take orders from the owner of this Tagara Incense.
547
00:32:57,367 --> 00:32:58,657
I am quite different.
548
00:32:58,957 --> 00:33:01,577
I have stayed away from the court for years and am all by myself.
549
00:33:02,007 --> 00:33:04,737
I am just a frail, unnoticed,
550
00:33:05,447 --> 00:33:06,967
and idle Crown Prince.
551
00:33:07,537 --> 00:33:09,697
He managed to silently infiltrate the Emperor's
552
00:33:10,257 --> 00:33:12,577
most disciplined and secretive forces,
553
00:33:12,647 --> 00:33:15,537
and he can even stand as an enemy against Xiao Changqing and his brother.
554
00:33:16,007 --> 00:33:18,447
This person is unpredictable.
555
00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:27,537
All of you may leave now.
556
00:33:27,809 --> 00:33:29,097
I want to be alone for a while.
557
00:33:52,997 --> 00:33:58,477
(East Palace)
558
00:34:19,807 --> 00:34:21,657
The Tagara Incense blend on this bracelet
559
00:34:22,217 --> 00:34:23,177
is unique.
560
00:34:23,617 --> 00:34:25,407
I have only ever smelled it on one person.
561
00:34:27,287 --> 00:34:28,137
So, it turns out
562
00:34:29,447 --> 00:34:31,057
you are that Tagara Incense.
563
00:34:33,447 --> 00:34:34,217
Youyou,
564
00:34:35,007 --> 00:34:36,057
let me explain.
565
00:34:39,057 --> 00:34:40,487
I am all ears.
566
00:34:52,465 --> 00:34:54,097
When I was gathering the Immortal Vine,
567
00:34:56,217 --> 00:34:57,327
I happened to save you.
568
00:34:59,487 --> 00:35:00,777
That was our first meeting,
569
00:35:01,665 --> 00:35:03,137
and there was no calculation involved.
570
00:35:05,089 --> 00:35:06,967
Seeing your cold detachment toward Prince Lie,
571
00:35:08,737 --> 00:35:09,737
I was surprised.
572
00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:13,177
The wisdom and composure you showed when taking the Rouge Ledger
573
00:35:15,217 --> 00:35:16,217
made me curious.
574
00:35:17,887 --> 00:35:19,657
The way you saw through my disguised identity
575
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:21,617
earned my admiration
576
00:35:22,447 --> 00:35:23,577
and won my heart even more.
577
00:35:23,953 --> 00:35:26,017
When the poison flared up and I almost lost my life,
578
00:35:26,347 --> 00:35:27,847
it was you who gave the Immortal Vine
579
00:35:28,257 --> 00:35:30,577
without a second thought to a stranger like me.
580
00:35:36,577 --> 00:35:37,697
Before I knew it,
581
00:35:38,807 --> 00:35:40,137
I had already fallen too deep.
582
00:35:42,487 --> 00:35:44,887
Later, when I found out I only had five years left to live,
583
00:35:47,265 --> 00:35:49,489
I did think about giving up on this relationship.
584
00:35:50,057 --> 00:35:51,617
But when I saw you fall off the cliff,
585
00:35:52,657 --> 00:35:53,617
I suddenly realized
586
00:35:56,007 --> 00:35:58,567
that I had already reached a point where I couldn't let you go.
587
00:36:02,407 --> 00:36:03,697
So, during that period of time,
588
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:05,393
you told me you were leaving the capital,
589
00:36:05,697 --> 00:36:07,447
but you actually went to the snowy peaks
590
00:36:07,521 --> 00:36:09,217
to search for the Extreme Frost Cordyceps.
591
00:36:10,161 --> 00:36:11,327
And it was because of this
592
00:36:12,217 --> 00:36:14,407
that the poison blinded your eyes to colors.
593
00:36:16,577 --> 00:36:17,097
Yes.
594
00:36:17,905 --> 00:36:19,857
You play the part of a frail Crown Prince,
595
00:36:20,287 --> 00:36:21,407
yet you have been quietly
596
00:36:22,327 --> 00:36:23,487
recruiting forces
597
00:36:23,927 --> 00:36:25,177
and laying your trap in court,
598
00:36:25,729 --> 00:36:27,617
all just to find the person who poisoned you.
599
00:36:28,177 --> 00:36:29,487
That person is hidden so deeply
600
00:36:30,997 --> 00:36:32,697
that even now, there is not a single clue.
601
00:36:33,477 --> 00:36:35,287
That is why I never made things clear to you.
602
00:36:40,273 --> 00:36:42,847
Thank you for coming to my aid time and again, Your Highness.
603
00:36:43,967 --> 00:36:46,617
I will do everything I can to repay you.
604
00:36:47,847 --> 00:36:49,537
But I ask Your Highness to cooperate
605
00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:50,927
and break off our engagement.
606
00:36:56,847 --> 00:36:57,807
What did you say?
607
00:36:58,289 --> 00:37:00,353
Not only did you infiltrate the Embroidered Envoys,
608
00:37:01,057 --> 00:37:03,217
but you can also command the wealthy Hua Fuhai.
609
00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:05,137
Even Cui Jinbai,
610
00:37:05,257 --> 00:37:08,057
the young and powerful minister His Majesty trusts most,
611
00:37:08,327 --> 00:37:09,487
is actually your subordinate.
612
00:37:10,287 --> 00:37:11,407
You have never been
613
00:37:11,407 --> 00:37:13,361
some innocent, harmless, and weak Crown Prince.
614
00:37:13,807 --> 00:37:15,297
If we turn against each other one day,
615
00:37:15,377 --> 00:37:16,487
and I take a single misstep,
616
00:37:16,967 --> 00:37:18,447
I will be utterly destroyed,
617
00:37:18,447 --> 00:37:20,927
and it would even drag the Shen family into eternal damnation.
618
00:37:23,607 --> 00:37:25,697
If I had looked at the betrothal gift list earlier,
619
00:37:25,953 --> 00:37:28,081
there wouldn't have been a marriage decree at all.
620
00:37:31,657 --> 00:37:33,137
You weighed the pros and cons
621
00:37:34,847 --> 00:37:36,057
and considered everything,
622
00:37:38,177 --> 00:37:39,847
yet you failed to consider me.
623
00:37:40,177 --> 00:37:42,537
In the end, you never believed in my true feelings for you.
624
00:37:42,617 --> 00:37:43,777
What do true feelings matter?
625
00:37:44,737 --> 00:37:45,847
How many true feelings
626
00:37:46,407 --> 00:37:48,777
change in an instant when faced with conflicts of power?
627
00:37:49,953 --> 00:37:51,927
I cannot do this at the expense of my loved ones,
628
00:37:52,407 --> 00:37:53,807
nor can I risk everything
629
00:37:54,097 --> 00:37:56,407
to gamble on a heart staying true forever.

631
00:38:24,327 --> 00:38:26,487

632
00:38:27,073 --> 00:38:29,007
