[The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion]

[Episode 22]

[Guang Yang Palace]

Your Majesty,

Is Young Lady Yao so ill?

Should we wait a few more days?

Perhaps she'll get better.

I've sent someone to look at her.

She's very ill,

couldn't meet anyone.

The Yao Family's preparing the funeral.

Heavens have pity!

Why...

I've met Young Lady Yao twice.

She looked high in spirit then,

she was friendly too.

This is so sudden...

What do you think?

Beauty born unlucky.

It's a pity.

First, was He Family,

then Yao Family.

Who knows what taboo they've crossed...

Do you know that several families of consort candidates

wrote to me?

They're either sick or weak.

Why's this?

Is there a plague in Hengjing City?

What plague?

They're just scared of Duke Su.

This...

Your Majesty,

Wan'er is slow

for not understanding.

Your Majesty,

it's absurd to say Jin'er brings bad luck to his wife.

When Jin'er was young,

the Imperial Astronomer said

he's born the bane of other's existence.

It was also when the late empress passed.

I...

don't believe in birth telling

but overwhelmed with grief,

I could only send him to the border.

All these years...

You both have suffered a lot.

I summon Jin'er back to the capital with a notable position.

I planned to find a good lady

to be married to him as a compensation.

Unexpectedly,

rumours of him being bad luck to his wife spread.

Now,

which minster wouldn't be afraid?

Duke Su would not bring bad luck to his wife!

It's just a coincidence.

If other ladies are reluctant,

Wan'er is willing to marry Duke Su!

Please approve, Your Majesty, my lady.

You're not afraid?

Of course I'm not.

Really, Princess?

Even when

Young Lady He and Yao are already gravely ill...

I'm not scared.

The sincerity of Wan'er

is truly moving.

Moving, indeed.

Father, Mother,

I already have someone in mind

and will come tomorrow to announce it.

Why are the rumours getting out of hand?

I didn't expect an elope in stories

would happen to me.

Young Lady Yao's fallen sick too.

Madam.

Madam?

Madam,

did you hear what I said?

What did you say?

I said that Young Lady Yao is ill too,

gravely ill.

Heated talks in the capital are saying

that His Highness is the rebirthed Tanlang Star.

He's too belligerent,

an especially

bad luck to his wife.

The rumours are worsening,

saying that you're ill too.

These are building up to something.

Sure, just assume that I'm ill.

It feels freeing to read stories in the residence.

Madam, you mean...

someone's after His Highness?

About this...

let His Highness speak for himself.

[The highest goodness is like water]

Your Highness.

Regarding the pick of the duchess...

We have to inform His Majesty and Consort Shu tomorrow.

Are you decided?

Forget it.

It's trouble whoever I pick.

Tomorrow,

let Princess of Xihe come in.

After twists and turns,

it's still Princess of Xihe.

[Why is it, despite all,]

[still Cui Wan?]

[Why did nothing change?]

[From the first day I had the dream till now,]

[all my effort now seems]

[like a joke.]

Congrats, Princess.

What you've mentioned,

what good news is it?

Princess must've guessed it.

When I sent tea today,

I heard Duke Su speaking of marrying Princess

and will tell His Majesty and Consort Shu tomorrow.

That's great.

I knew it.

Finally...

Finally.

Duke Su.

Your Highness.

Qiu Nan,

as a residence servant,

you leak confidential information to outsiders repeatedly.

Your act is punishable.

Punish her as the rules dictate

and as example to all.

My lord, I'm wrong.

Qiu Nan is wrong.

Xu Jia, take her away.

Yes.

Let's go.

Duke Su,

I didn't do it purposely.

I don't mean harm.

I just want to know about you.

I just thought that

if I could marry into the household...

You haven't,

yet you've bought my servant.

No, Duke Su.

It's not like that. I...

Duke Su,

are you being deliberate?

Cui Wan,

the issue isn't you.

It's me.

I've never liked you.

That's okay, Duke Su.

You don't like me but

you can grow to like me slowly.

It suffices that I like you.

Duke Su...

I don't hate you

but I promised Rong'er that

I'll only marry her in this life.

My lady, Young Master is...

Why has madam gone on Ju Shui Pavilion's carriage?

Your Highness.

My lord.

It's late. Who are you waiting for?

Where's madam?

Ping Lake's water is so pretty!

A poet once said

so much Ping Lake,

take only a scoop.

It's so much water.

Little Follower,

you're talented in literature.

You can make a living out of it next time.

Don't look at me,

look at the fishing rod.

The fish in Ping Lake

tastes better than any grilled fish out there.

Little Follower!

It's fine.

Let's go, let's bandage your wound.

It's a small wound.

I want to have the grilled fish you said.

Coming right up.

The fish will be done soon.

Here, try it.

Is it good?

It's delicious.

Have a bite too.

Okay.

Little Follower.

Wen Xing rushed to me.

I thought something got to you.

I'm fine.

Duke Su allows you to be out late?

You know that I'm the best in sneaking out.

No way, why are you grilling a fish?

Where is it from?

I fished it from Ping Lake.

I was worried that it'd die on the way back,

so I hurried you here.

You went to Ping Lake all the way?

That's why I don't really see you around.

The lantern went out. Let me fix it.

Rong'er!

I'll take care of my consort myself.

Thanks, Royal Uncle.

-Let's go. -Hold on.

She's reluctant to leave.

Go back first,

I can take care of her.

Put me down!

Put me down.

Put me down!

Do you have nothing to explain?

Your Highness can marry another girl,

yet I can't even talk to an old friend.

Since when are you and Royal Uncle old friends?

It's a long story.

You're meeting His Majesty and Consort Shu tomorrow

to declare your legitimate wife.

We'll talk next time.

And if I want to know now?

You don't even have the slightest trust in me now.

If this is the case,

don't hesitate about the divorce.

Marry your Princess of Xihe

and live happily ever after.

Mutual love and respect, as you wish.

As for me, I'll live well.

I'll take care of my family and my Ruyi Pavilion.

Repeat it.

No.

It's the same anyway.

I'll give you an answer tomorrow.

His Majesty is here.

-Father. -Your Majesty.

Where's Wan'er?

Your Majesty, Su Yu came reporting in the morning.

Wan'er was coming.

Who knows...

She caught a cold and fright last night

and has fallen sick too.

Wan'er is ill too? Is it serious?

It's said that she needs to rest for some time.

Father,

what happened recently

can't be explained.

Perhaps, it's true that

my birth is singular.

Father,

Mother,

I don't want to marry my wife and see it go from

a happy occasion to a funeral.

What are you saying!

For your betrothal recently,

I'm fatigued as well.

Never mind.

Since it's yet

the time for a legitimate wife,

we'll hold on for now.

Fu Rong, however,

you have to sort her out.

Father,

Rong'er isn't uncouth.

When I go back,

I'll teach her properly.

Go on back then.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Jin'er admits himself that

his concubine is lacking refinement.

I have an idea.

Madam!

Madam!

Pack up quickly, madam.

Has the letter of divorce come so soon?

Letter of divorce?

What letter of divorce?

Those from the palace came,

cited that you're staying with Consort Shu for now.

Are they still thinking

that I'll stop His Highness from marrying?

No, Princess of Xihe is ill too.

She's the third one.

His Highness said that he shouldn't marry lest a life's lost.

His Majesty and Consort Shu agreed.

You're asked to learn in the palace.

He's not marrying?

He's not.

But,

you'll have to enter the palace alone

and serve Consort Shu.

No big deal.

Pack up quickly, let's go!

Let's go.

Madam, slow down.

Consort, stop crying.

Seeing you cry,

this servant feels bad too.

My Jin'er...

How could I not feel upset?

Who would've thought,

His Highness' injury in the wedding

caused the cold toxin he got at the border to resurface.

Jin'er is innately cold in body.

The cold toxin finally cleared so much

but it came back again,

much worse this time.

According to Mr Ge,

Jin'er...

is left with one month's time.

My lady...

My lady,

you mentioned one month left,

what did you mean?

What cold toxin?

Since you've heard it,

it's fine that I tell you.

You should remember

that Jin'er was badly injured on his way back to capital.

He got better after a long recuperation.

But the arrow that shot him

was only an inch away from his heart,

nearly costing his life.

It's fortunate that Mr Ge's skilled

and managed to save him.

Yet, the arrow had cold toxin,

a poison that's hard to get rid of.

Even when Jin'er is healthy

and could suppress it,

he was recently stabbed

and it caused the cold toxin to flare up again.

Am I the cause of His Highness' death in the dream?

What did you say?

My lady,

Fu Rong pleads guilty.

His Highness got hurt by me.

You're admitting it directly?

I'm guilty.

I'm fine however you punish me

but I hope you give me time.

His Highness can surely be cured.

Get up quickly.

Mr Ge's been searching for

a remedy to cure this toxin

but it's been fruitless so far.

Never mind,

it's futile to talk about it now.

Go to Jin'er for company.

Do not let him know about it.

If he worries,

I'm afraid the toxin will spread faster.

His Highness will be alright.

Any poison will have its antidote.

His Highness is blessed.

He won't die.

Alright.

I'm sending a nanny

to care for Jin'er.

Just in time today.

Go with the nanny.

Just say that I sent her to teach you etiquette.

Rong'er understands.

Don't worry, my lady. His Highness will be fine.

Zhi Hui.

-Quick, bring me water. -Yes.

My lady, what are you doing?

I'm spitting ill-intentioned words,

in case the heavens hear it

and assume it to be true.

You really go to great lengths for His Highness.

Mr Ge, why did you insist on an acupuncture today?

Your Highness, it's for your old injury

and recent exhaustion.

It's rare that you aren't busy these days,

it's to relax you.

Forgive me Your Highness. My carelessness.

I've poked your numbing point.

Mr Ge, your lack of practice

has declined your skill.

I shall practice harder.

Your Highness.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Nanny Yan is sent by Consort Shu to teach me.

She may stay in the residence for now.

Mother asked for you

for this?

I argued with Your Highness last night,

so I asked for a training nanny to teach me etiquette.

Troubles, Nanny Yan.

Your Highness, no fret

for Consort was friendly.

She gave reminders,

nothing else.

[Jin'er is left with one month's time.]

Your Highness, I just came back.

The headpiece is heavy. I'll head back now.

Mr Ge.

My lady.

Did Consort Shu tell you something?

What poison is the cold toxin?

What's the aftermath?

Literally,

it's the extreme cold.

The poisoned will

have it worse as time passes.

First, limbs turn icy.

Then, the body freezes.

Finally,

the organs fail and he dies.

Is there no remedy?

I haven't found one for now.

I went through many medical books

in hopes to see relevant records.

I dare not tell anyone about this,

I can only search slowly.

I can help.

You have more books?

Give some to me.

I'll look for you. We'll find a way.

Okay.

But this matter must be kept from His Highness.

Don't worry, Mr Ge.

I didn't tell Lan Xiang,

His Highness won't know.

Alright.

Is there more?

Your Highness,

this dossier was just sent in.

[The highest goodness is like water]

Concubine Rong.

Your Highness, I made you soup.

Drink while it's hot

Weather's so hot

yet drink it hot?

It tastes average

but it's effective.

It's nourishing, makes one strong and high-spirited.

High-spirited?

Shut up.

Your Highness, my lady,

we're taking our leave.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on.

Move!

Let's go.

You don't have to.

What do you mean?

Your Highness works hard.

As your consort,

this is what I should do.

Your Highness wouldn't assume

it's because I misunderstood you last night

and do this out of guilt?

Is it not?

I do feel guilty

but it can't be resolved with soup.

I just think you've worked hard

and made you the soup.

Look at your documents.

Day or night,

they're read the same.

I think,

you should rest earlier tonight.

I'll wait for you in the room.

Wait for me?

I won't sleep if you don't return.

[The highest goodness is like water]

Wait for me?

Nourishing soup?

Ms Fu knew that it's me

but you didn't turn.

Are you going back on your words after losing the bet with me?

Since when did I agree to the bet?

What did I say?

Ms Fu wants to back-track.

I...

Never mind.

It's just a martial arts competition.

Rong'er is going too.

I'll be there.

This has nothing to do with Concubine Rong.

You're promising me.

You'll have to watch me when you're there.

Little Marquis.

Don't ask for too much.

The rumours of Duke Su are making rounds recently.

What's going on?

From your confident tone previously,

did Duke Su plan all of it?

Ms Fu is clever indeed.

Duke Su is very nice to Rong'er.

I told you,

there are womanizers

and there are romantic men too.

For someone they love,

they'd come up with ways.

I'm just like His Highness.

Ms Fu,

are you leaving already?

You...

got hurt?

Other than your head,

where else did you get hurt?

Your arms...

or your legs?

I really can't hide anything from you.

I tripped mounting the horse in training today.

Injured my knee a bit

but it's fine.

The martial arts competition is nearing.

You aren't resting

but you're here.

Wait.

If you're injured,

how did you get up there?

To make sure you keep the promise,

I must come even if I'm hurt.

It's just a twinge.

Ms Fu,

take pity on me.

Are you really leaving?

Chat with me for a bit.

Sure.

Do speak.

Little Marquis,

how much longer?

I can't hold it anymore.

You're back.

I was thinking to urge you to rest.

Let me.

I'll do it.

Why are you in a hurry today?

Uh, that...

I accidentally spilled water there.

It's hard and cold,

come and sleep here.

Sleep inside,

in case I wake you up at night.

Why did you pat my leg?

Your body is cold.

Wear more when you sleep.

I'll have you know,

cold starts from the feet.

You have to take care of them.

Let's sleep.

Why are you acting strange today?

I'm worried you'd catch a cold.

Do you think I'd harm you?

Even if that's the case,

I'd take it willingly.

Rest.

Move inside.

Do you know that

a son will elevate you?

My lady.

Did you stay here the entire night?

Mr Ge, you're timely.

None of these books mentioned the cold toxin.

Do you have more?

I do.

Do you want to go back and rest first?

I'll take a break after these.

Mr Ge,

look at this.

This is blood transfusion.

It's odd.

It's never heard of.

This is the only description

fitting His Highness' symptoms.

This is exchanging life for a life.

His Highness will not agree.

Besides,

to seek one who offers blood

will not be easy.

Me.

My lady, this is a life for a life.

This cannot do.

I'll look for another method.

Please forget this one quickly,

don't do something reckless.

[I brought this upon him.]

[I must save him.]

[Fu Residence]

Sister, this Ruyi date is crisp and sweet.

Have it.

Guan Ge is so nice to me,

tasting it first and offering it when it's good.

Here.

Rong'er.

Why isn't Duke Su coming back with you?

He's busy at work. I don't want to trouble him.

Father, you have back problems.

I got you some protection.

Here are some padded pants, knee-guards and such.

Your knees hurt when it rains,

do use them.

I know, I know.

But...

these...

Don't you think you bought too much?

For spares,

in case you need them.

Sister, go to Ruyi Pavilion some time soon.

I asked Gu Yuan to melt some stock there

to make two new sets of jewellery.

One for Mother

and one's for your dowry.

Oh, and

the goods I asked Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba to seek

will be sent here too.

Rong'er,

but why are you preparing so much?

Right.

What are you doing?

Sending so many things...

We won't be able to go through them.

It's nothing.

Just to show that His Highness is very nice.

I'm super rich now.

We all know that he's very good to you.

You don't have to send these.

Yes, exactly.

Consort's presence in our residence

is already our utmost honour.

-I... -What are you saying.

We just hope for the two of you

to be safe

and happy with each other.

Compared to giving us gifts,

it'll make us happier.

That's right.

It's exactly that.

Rong'er,

why do I still think you're acting strange?

What happened?

Strangely good looking?

Sister, you're just suspicious.

I couldn't come back with His Highness previously.

Now that we're done with that,

I wanted to come back and visit.

I'll be safe with him

and stay happy.

Good.

Allowing you to come back alone, Duke Su

is truly generous.

Don't take it for granted.

You mustn't be spoiled

in the Su Residence.

I know.

Luckily you didn't marry off far away.

And Duke Su is so nice to you,

allowing you to come back home.

I'm so happy.

It's great.

It's great...

Cheers.

What day is it today

to drink with me?

I just want to thank you for my visit home.

I'm happy to see my family.

Next time,

I'll go back with you.

The last time we drank under the moon like this,

we were still in Hong Village.

It's my first time drunk in front of you.

That wasn't the first.

It was not?

I want to change my destiny!

You were the one who brought me home

from Drunken Spring Court?

You still remember?

I don't,

and Sister doesn't divulge.

Why didn't you say anything?

You keep making me misunderstand.

What troubles you is related to Royal Uncle.

You're still on this?

There's nothing between Duke An and I.

I saved him in the date forest when we were young

and we reunited earlier.

That's all to it.

Believe me.

Have another drink if you do.

Getting me drunk,

what are you up to?

Of course I'm doing

something I dare not do when you're sober.

Uncalled for.

When I fought with you last time,

I said that I shouldn't set up the stall at Ju Shui Pavilion,

it's all out of spite.

If I have to do it again,

countless times more,

I'll still be there waiting for you to tell your fortune.

Rong'er,

what are you trying to say?

And I'd still tell you that

you'll be rich

and have a long life.

-My lady! -My lady!

-My lady! -My lady!

Mr Ge,

His Highness is yours.
