Episode 18

Sister Yu, you're mine

You're my royal consort

I'm your husband! Sister Yu

Drink

Ok ok

Come, Sister, wipe your face

Don't touch me!

Here

Congratulations to First Prince

Yes, congratulations to First prince

First Prince accepts your good intentions, ok?

At tomorrow's wedding,

wish them a hundred years of harmony

Yes, hundred years of harmony

Don't touch me!

Good sister,

I know you feel wronged

Don't cry anymore, ok?

Go to sleep early, ok?

Imperial Father, I will kill Ma Yi Fang

to avenge father's death

Imperial Father? Ma Yi Fang?

Could it be...

Chu Kingdom's missing princess from the previous dynasty?

Ma Fu Ya...

Sister Yu

You've finally forgiven me

You're finally speaking to me again

I'm so happy, I'm so happy

Husband,

as long as you'll forgive me someday,

I'm yours

Ha ha, you're mine

Then you can't ignore me anymore

leave me anymore.

Sister Yu

Your Highness

Heard you haven't had dinner yet

I prepared some soup for you

No matter how beautiful this lake scenery is,

you can't starve yourself.

If you don't eat something

how will you stand it?

Eat some

Go away

It's been three years

These three years

you haven't said a word to me

I didn't think

your first words to me

would be so cold and heartless.

I haven't hacked you to pieces

That's already being lenient

So you still blame me

I know

I can't fight with the dead.

She's not dead! Who are you calling dead?

Even if she's not dead

she's still not thinking of you.

Why do you still think of her day and night?

Why do you still think of her day and night?

What did you say?

I said Ma Fu Ya

She never loved you

On the day of the banquet, before the dance

she told me so.

She only sees you as a friend

not as a lover.

You're constantly infatuated with her, crazy over her

Whether she's alive

or dead

she won't know.

What do you know?

She's the only person who understands me

If you hadn't killed her

You think I wanted to?

Did I have a choice?

Her looking for you...

was to borrow your troops

and overthrow my father.

But...as daughter

no matter how wrong my father was

I still couldn't

just simply watch as she,

along with the person I love most

kill my father.

Lian Cheng

Take a good look at me

I'm the wife you married

Even if you made me climb a mountain of daggers

or immerse myself in burning oil,

I would do so willingly.

I don't expect you to accept me right now

or like me

but I beg you

don't view me as an enemy.

Don't treat me like this ok?

Acting again?

Must be tiring for you

You say I'm acting

Fine

Fine

Niang Niang, Niang Niang

His Highness and the Tai Zi Fei are fighting

What? Fighting?

This girl...

Really makes me worry!

If I hadn't stopped him,

Chen Er will would have killed her long ago to vent his anger.

Here I am trying to put out the fire,

but she keeps jumping in the fire pit.

Isn't she seeking death?

Niang Niang

you'd better go take a look

before this gets serious.

Yes

If only I weren't afraid

of conflict breaking out between Chu and Han Kingdoms...

keeping her only makes Chen Er upset

and my life difficult.

Really makes me worry

Yan Er

Here

Let's go take a look

So, after killing your sister,

you want to kill your husband?

Are you my husband?

I've spoken so humbly,

begging you to turn back,

why do you still think

I would harm you?

Princess, please stop fighting

Tai Zi Fei!

Tai Zi Fei! What are you doing!

Drop it!

Don't you want to take revenge

for Ma Fu Ya?

Do it! Come on, kill me!

Compared to a lifetime of your hatred,

I would rather die in your hands.

Perhaps then

you will always remember me.

Do it! Kill me!

Tai Zi Fei! Are you done here?

If you keep acting like this,

don't blame me

for not taking your side!

Can't do it?

Fine, I will die before you

You can't die!

You can't die

Lian Cheng...you...you've forgiven me?

Listen

I won't let you

die this easily.

I want you beside me

enduring a lifetime of torment.

I won't touch you this lifetime

I want you

to know the feeling of living in loneliness

until you're a hundred

Stop!

Princess!

Princess! Princess!

Princess! Princess!

What's wrong with Princess?

Why isn't she awake yet?

Princess...

Princess has no hope?

Shut up

If you're going to weep,

get out!

Reporting to Niang Niang, His Highness

The wound on Tai Zi Fei's forehead

although not serious,

is worsened by unhappy mood, cannot be cured.

If this persists, I'm afraid...

What?

I'm afraid she won't have many years left

Nonsense!

Tai Zi Fei is still young

How could she not live long?

Prescribe some good medicine

and help nurse her health.

Yes

Leave now

Yes

Cheng Er

I know you won't admit fault,

but she is your wife after all.

You should go take a look

Princess. Wake up, Princess

Princess

Child, you're awake

Princess, you scared me to death

You know?

Who are you?

Princess, I'm Lu Qiao

the maid you brought from Chu Kingdom

Lu Qiao

Princess? Who are you talking about?

Princess

Why are you like this, Princess?

Your Highness!

Cheng Er, quickly!

At least you should recognize Cheng Er

A man...

why are you in my chambers?

Get out, get out!

I told you to get out! Get out!

What time is it?

Kang Zi! Kang Zi!

First Prince

Something's happened, something big

What?

My hand is numb

Sister Yu!

We did it last night?

Yes, Brother Xing

I'm yours now

How could it be you??

It was me from start to end

Last night

you said again and again

calling me sweetly

good sister, good sister...

No, I wasn't calling you!

I was calling Yu Er!

Yu Er is my good sister!

Don't mention that slut

I am your good sister

No!

I never wanted to be with you!

Get out!

What?

You want to throw me out after using me?

I'm telling you Meng Qi Xing

Du Wan

will not be taken advantage of

and thrown away easily

Brother Xing

I am your first woman

Last night,

the pleasure of laying together

did you already forget?

Then let's rejog our memories

No! No!

Too late!

Empress arrives!

Mother...I...I didn't do it on purpose

You slut!

Gu Gu, like I said

whatever I want

no one can stop me from getting!

The more you stubbornly

keep me from being Royal Consort,

the more I want it!

Look, this time

based on my own ability

I got it.

Sorry, Big Brother

Your Highness

There's news from Shu Kingdom

Tell me

Shu Kingdom's crown prince Meng Qi Xing...

I care more about

that dethroned crown prince.

Meng Qi You?

When he was crown prince,

his courage and schemes

were no less than his father Meng Qi Xiang's.

But he is not favored by Meng Qi Xiang

and Empress Du.

After being removed,

he stays in the palace all day

with nothing to do,

like an idle person.

Would he be willing to live such a dull existence?

If he was really willing

to live idly,

he wouldn't hide himself for two years

then return to the palace.

Your Highness is saying

Meng Qi You wants to regain the crown prince position?

Since ancient history

how many dethroned princes

have had a good outcome?

Would Meng Qi You not know?

In my opinion,

Shu Kingdom's backyard

will soon ignite a big fire.

Be careful, Tai Zi fei

Tai Zi Fei

Slowly, be careful

Be careful, Tai Zi Fei

Tai Zi Fei

You should

let servant do it for you.

I'm fine, don't worry

Servant greets His Highness

Is she acting up again?

She's not crazy

It's just that she saw

an injured bird

and wanted to put it back in the nest.

Your Highness, how come you're here?

Tai Zi Fei

Your Highness, you're so powerful

I didn't think your reflexes

were even faster than a small bird's.

If I knew earlier

you had such quick reflexes,

I would have let you

put the bird back.

Didn't your injury just heal?

Do you need to expend this much energy?

I have to put it back personally

This small bird's wings are injured

Besides, it's winter soon

If it can't fly

there's no way

to migrate home back south.

Migrate home? You also want to go home?

Your Highness, your words are so strange

Isn't this my home?

Where else would I go?

Why do you keep staring at me?

Is it...

something dirty on my face?

Still there?

Why so many wounds on your hands?

It's nothing

Tai Zi Fei goes to the imperial doctor every day

to familiarize herself with herbal medicines.

She also picks herbal medicines in the back mountain

That's why she's like this

Pick herbs? Why are you learning these?

I saw

that you don't look very well lately,

so I thought you must be too tired.

So I asked the imperial doctor

for some medicinal prescriptions

so I could personally brew it for you

and help improve your health.

There are so many imperial doctors and cooks in the palace

Do you need to do it?

I have to brew it personally

to be sure of it

I'm telling you,

even mother praised me,

said I'm doing especially well

and that I have the talent to be a doctor.

Darn

The supplement herbs I brewed for mother

is still on the fire.

You

Why didn't you remind me?

If it turns to mush

I'll have to start again.

Tai Zi Fei, I forgot

Your Highness, the medical book says

that by eating more and drinking less,

you can live until 99.

You should drink less

Live until 99?

Do you think she really lost her memory

or she's pretending?

Your Highness, Your Highness

Who let you touch my stuff?

I...I...

Put it down

I just finished sewing

a gown for you.

Leave it. You can go back

Your Highness

When you're reviewing official documents,

remember to put it on.

Don't catch cold

Absurd! Simply absurd!

I accept blame for not educating my daughter well

which is thus my big mistake.

Emperor please show mercy

This is really

in Shu Kingdom's history

an extraordinary humiliation!

The night before a prince's marriage,

the consort does something this scandalous!

Emperor,

Wan Er has not married First Prince yet

It doesn't count

Shut up!

The decree has been given

You dare disobey and cause chaos in the palace!

Emperor

Wan Er knows I've acted inappropriately

but Xing Er and I are childhood sweethearts.

Since young we've had affections for each other

This

Gu Gu and my father both know.

Although we were not explicitly granted marriage,

I have always

had feelings only for Brother Xing.

I must marry him in this life

Please Emperor,

based on my

sincere feelings for Brother Xing,

please give us your approval!

Scoundrel!

The crown prince's marriage

affects the state of the kingdom!

It's no place for you

to act on your own accord!

Full of scandal

..then quibbling! Come!

Emperor, Wan Er is young and ignorant

Please show mercy

Father, Wan Er committed a huge crime

If the Emperor wants to kill and punish,

Wan Er accepts it all.

Daughter is unfilial. Father please take care

Brother Xing, although I cannot marry you in this life,

but to have a night of love with you...

I have no regrets

Emperor, it takes two to tango

Wan Er is not the only one at fault.

You're implying that

I'm ineffective at teaching my children?

I wouldn't dare

Please Emperor, for the sake of

Du Family's loyalty and devotion these years,

if not for any contributions

then for our hard work,

please spare Wan Er her life.

Wan Er is my only child.

I've failed in teaching her

I'm willing to die for her!

Emperor please show mercy and approve!

Father, it's Wan Er's fault

If you kill anyone, kill Wan Er!

Father, I can't implicate you!

Father...

Emperor!

Imperial Father!

You animal!

You animal

You're a shame to the great Shu Kingdom!

Father, I didn't do it purposely

I really didn't do it purposely

This is too brilliant

Niang Niang

Never thought

this Du Wan would be so daring.

Yes

Even her own Gu Gu's plans

she would dare tear apart.

I really admire...admire!

Niang Niang

This Du Wan is in so much trouble,

why not use this opportunity

to reduce Du Ru Hai's military power?

No hurry

Even with their relationship,

they have made such a joke of the situation.

I should learn from their mistakes

and handle things carefully.

But Niang Niang, strike while the iron's hot

You might not have the chance again

It's not that simple

This idiot Du Ru Hai

has made so many mistakes these years.

Causing rebellions in Shan Nan in recent years

and losing so many battles

He lost how many soldiers,

removed how many generals,

and squandered how many military provisions?

He made such a huge error,

but the emperor didn't remove him from his post.

Do you know why?

Isn't it because

his younger sister is Empress Du?

Wrong

When the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman stands to benefit.

The emperor is guarding against me

The emperor is guarding against Niang Niang?

Now is the time for confrontation

If my power strengthens,

the emperor does not have

the troops to match.

Yes

Han Tong Ling works for Niang Niang

That Du Ru Hai

is the empress's older brother.

So the emperor, this old fox,

is not an ordinary person.

As long as Du Fei Hong and I

have equivalent power,

he can stand by and watch.

Once

one side lessens in power,

this three-way balance

will be unsustainable.

It's bound to end in a fight for survival.

Cry...is it because you feel ashamed

or because you feel useless?

Scoundrel! With you as crown prince,

my great Shu Kingdom

will meet its end!

Emperor

You're not removing Brother Xing

as crown prince, are you?

Emperor, please dismiss those thoughts

It can't be taken lightly!

Look at what you've done!

Emperor, you can't blame Brother Xing

I'm the one who likes him too much,

I'm infatuated!

Your infatuation?

I raised him for 20 years

What does my painstaking effort count for?

Emperor, this incident

It's not Xing Er's fault

Is it so? You brother just said

it takes two to tango.

One side is your brother,

the other side is your good son

and this wretched woman!

This was all

single-handedly raised by you.

You want to take the blame for them?

Fine

I want to see

how you handle this fairly.

I hope that the emperor,

seeing me care for you day and night,

and General Du's efforts in guarding the frontier,

will overlook this matter.

Otherwise, I also fear

the military leaders on the frontier,

all brought up

single-handedly by Marshal Zheng Dong

if General Du

is charged with crime for his daughter's indiscretions,

those generals would refuse to accept it,

and perhaps cause an uprising on the frontier.

Do you think

I wouldn't dare touch you and your entire family?

I wouldn't dare

What play is this?

Emperor

fighting with the empress?

This is not the place for you to speak!

Sister doesn't want to cut in,

but hearing

what Big Sister just said

I thought I should remind the emperor.

Everything she says is right

and with good intentions.

The emperor should know

that the troops under General Du

always followed only military orders,

not imperial orders.

If the emperor

removes General Du's title,

then when those barbarian subjects find out

and get upset,

I'm afraid

they'll cause trouble for the emperor.

Nonsense!

You lowly Concubine Zhao

have the right to sow discord here?

For your intent to interfere

I can punish you with crime right now

and take your head!

Calm down sister

If I died

who would come here to

eloquently

plea for you?

Emperor, I didn't want to interfere

I think that

those lowly civilian,

incestuous matters

are not uncommon.

Besides, it's the crown prince

Even if he had three wives and four concubines,

it's nothing serious.

If for these unimportant matters,

the emperor moved the foundation of the kingdom,

I think it would be a bad idea

and a huge disadvantage.

Bu then,

not only have you offended General Du

and made a mockery of this before the entire court,

every commoner

will also learn of

the palace's dirty corruption.

By then,

the emperor will face calamitous consequences.

Harming yourself along with others

So I made too big a fuss over this?

Since family scandals cannot be revealed to the outside,

then what should I do?

Before the children, I should at least

set an example.

Yes of course

Then let's see what the victim says

You Er

How do you think this should be handled?

As long as you point out who should be punished,

Father will support you.

Father, I don't blame anyone

This has nothing to do with mother

Sister Wan's reputation is also important

Brother Xing and I are both reasonable people

I ask Father to please calm down

Place most importance on national peace and family union

Deal with this matter leniently

Your child thanks Father for his kindness

You Er rarely shows this much love

And Han Zhao Yi

also said something right.

A crown prince having several wives and concubines

is normal

Emperor

Since the victim is not complaining

then the Emperor need not be so troubled.

For Du Wan not to be royal consort,

finding an excuse to not make Xing Er crown prince.

Then according to you,

just let it go?

I wouldn't dare talk nonsense

I can only hope that the emperor

not use this matter to implicate everyone

and cause talk among the people

Everyone here

is on your side.

The only ones to dispute

are the crickets on the beams.

Since you want to be Royal Consort,

I will nip it in the bud.

From now on,

I order you to be Qi Xing's concubine.

Furthermore, no wedding, no banquets

No ceremonies

as punishment!

Father!

I don't want Du Wan as concubine!

Shut up!

If your big brother didn't plea for you,

would you still be alive to speak?

Sister

With such

a joyous ending,

how should you thank me?

So quick to ask for favors

I wouldn't dare

Best if you didn't!

You interfering in my family affairs,

I shouldn't have let you off easily

but I'm in no mood to deal with you today.

I'm telling you

Earlier I was pacifying the emperor

to give him an easy way out.

I don't believe

anyone would dare touch our Du family!

I'm warning you

Everything you've done today

I'll remember

If you

don't want to play with fire,

then be good and behave.

Kang Zi

Here

Get rid of all these for me

Yes

I still have other things to do

Is it true what happened

between Qi Xing and Du Wan?

Did you rush here

to console me

or to laugh at me?

Why would I come to laugh at you?

I just wanted to find out what happened

Your eyes are red and swollen...

Were you crying for me?

Who would cry for you?

Last night,

Sister Yao and I became sworn sisters

We had so much fun

So last night

I was the only person

who felt sad?

Even Meng Qi You feels sadness?

Then last night

were you really that happy?

I thought this time

I would really lose you.
