The Love Lasts Two Minds

Episode 23

Yuan,

you feeling unwell?

Did you quarrel with Jing Ci?

You didn’t

even mention him this time.

There isn’t much to say about him.

Maybe

I was wrong all the time.

He treats me

far worse than

how Mr. Zhao treats you.

How is that possible?

Ci,

it’s been a while.

How are you recently?

I’m doing well in Zhaozhou.

It’s just

I worried about

your health every day.

I’ve been

receiving pills

from you and Father.

And I’ve been taking them.

I’m getting much better.

You and I grew up together.

We’re so close.

But when you

came back to Yong state,

you didn’t even say goodbye to us.

If I didn’t come here,

I’m afraid

I wouldn’t be able to see you again in this life.

It’s all my fault.

I made you worried.

But now I’m here.

From now on,

I’ll be able to

see you every day.

Ci,

here’s a toast to you.

But you can

drink tea instead.

Ci,

please help me put it on.

Do I look good?

Brother,

you see?

They’re acting all lovey-dovey.

Turns out Duke Duan

is so playful.

Princess,

I don’t feel very well.

I’m going back.

Alright.

It’s too pungent here.

The smell of the powder

is giving me a headache.

Let’s go back.

Father,

Yuan and I have drunk too much.

We’ll leave first.

Okay.

You may leave.

Yuan,

are you feeling unwell?

I’ll call a doctor.

I’m fine.

Let’s go.

If Jing Ci is not single-minded,

then just don’t think about him.

However, it’s easier said than done.

If Zhao Yan did this to me,

I wouldn’t stand it, too.

Yuan!

You should continue pleasing Princess Zesheng.

Why bother coming here?

Yuan!

Beiyan, how come you’re here?

I just went to look for you.

Your mother said you wore very little.

I was afraid you may catch a cold,

so I brought a robe to you.

Thank you.

So sweet.

You should consider my feelings.

Mr. Jing,

Princess Zesheng is having a terrible headache.

She didn’t want to ruin everyone’s mood,

so she didn’t tell others.

Maybe you should go check on her.

Let’s go.

Go back and get some rest.

My father’s funeral will be held tomorrow.

Will you come?

Of course I should come.

I’ll be waiting for you then.

Yuan,

no matter what

annoying people or things

you have to deal with,

I’ll always stand by your side.

Look at her!

She got sick right after she came here.

It’s time to take the medicine.

My lady.

Now Duke Duan is here,

don’t worry about it.

You can go and have a rest.

Zesheng,

get some good rest.

I’m going.

Zesheng,

have a good rest.

You’ll recover after a good sleep.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Ci,

don’t leave.

This palace is too big.

I’m scared.

Don’t worry.

Aunt Zhixia will keep you company.

Mr. Jing,

no matter what,

I’m not that close to the princess.

Even if I stayed here,

she still wouldn’t feel at ease.

Aunt, come with me.

You were always with me,

you should know that I’ve offended

a powerful person.

He’s been spying on me

and tried to kill me several times.

If I’m too close to Zesheng,

I’m afraid

Zesheng will get hurt.

You’re afraid that person

will target Zesheng?

I’m not scared.

Ci,

with you by my side,

I’m not scared at all.

Aunt, you may not know,

this person is probably from the Royal Palace.

We can’t be careless.

I’ll find a way to draw him out

and eliminate the danger.

But before that,

please take care of Zesheng for me.

Mr. Jing,

why don’t we

ask Princess Zesheng to help

draw that person out?

No.

It’s not Zesheng’s business.

We can’t involve her in this.

Just because you think it’s not my business

doesn’t mean others also think so.

After today’s feast,

everyone knows that

we’re very close to each other.

Maybe I’ve already become their target.

Right.

Now the most important thing is

to find this person.

Only then can we

eliminate the danger.

Aunt,

don’t speak up for Zesheng.

She doesn’t know what’s at stake.

The way I see it,

you just don’t want to keep me company.

So you came up with this excuse.

- My head aches a lot. - Princess.

Princess.

You are the only daughter of Father.

No matter what,

I can’t put you in jeopardy.

That’s right.

He is doing this for your good.

But I’ll be alone in the Palace every day.

I’m really scared.

Mr. Jing,

how about you stay with

the princess for a few days?

If you’re worried about her safety,

I’ll guard this place day and night.

Besides,

I’ll send more securities here.

Is that okay?

I’ll prepare the bedding for you.

You can stay here for now.

When the princess has got used to

her life here,

you can move back to your palace.

Why are you still up?

Nothing.

Just leafing through a medical book.

Are you working on

the prescription for Duke Duan’s illness?

He’s been weak since childhood.

He’s got only several years to live.

The most worrying part is

he was being poisoned slowly

after he went to Qinhe.

I haven’t found the source of poison yet.

Even if I can cure his poisoning,

the long process

will be very bad for his health.

What about Yuan then?

Isn’t she your fiancée?

Right.

No matter if she can remember the past,

or if she’s the same Qingli,

she’s still my fiancée,

because we’re engaged.

Even if I want to call off the engagement,

Madam Yuan won’t agree to it.

I can’t do anything about it.

Right?

You want to call off the engagement?

I don’t want to do that anymore.

Since Duke Duan

can’t live very long,

I can’t let Yuan be a widow.

Who said he won’t live long?

You just said that.

You just said

he’s only got several years to live.

Besides, he’s poisoned.

Yuan is such a good girl.

How can I let her marry a man

that’s dying?

He won’t die.

I’ll definitely

cure him.

Jing Ci broke her heart every day.

She might as well marry me.

[Palace of He]

Yuan.

I didn’t expect

you can

manage Palace of He so well.

It requires a lot of planning

to organize the funeral in an orderly manner.

I was actually

at my wit’s end.

But now,

I have to learn to shoulder everything.

You’re doing a great job.

You have the bearing of Palace of He’s master.

It’s great that you think

I can manage the family property well.

Lord Junior,

His Majesty’s carriage has arrived.

Please go and welcome him.

Okay.

[Palace of He]

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

- Greetings! - Greetings!

Please rise.

[Libation]

Mu Zhong,

my dear minister,

I’ve come to see you.

You helped me become the emperor.

I thought that

we can work together

to bring peace

to this state

and enjoy

[Appease the State]

the prosperity.

I never thought

you’d die suddenly.

Now I’ve lost

a capable assistant of mine.

Aunt Zhixia,

you think this is Palace of Duke Duan?

Move aside.

Miss Yuan,

you can stop here.

Duke Duan has business to attend to.

It’s none of your business.

You should never

interfere in his business.

You can’t decide

if I can interfere in

his business.

He can’t

decide it, either.

Right.

I can’t decide it.

He can’t decide it, either.

I wonder if the Emperor can decide it.

The Emperor?

Now Duke Duan

and the princess are very close to each other.

Maybe the Emperor

will issue an edict

to grant them a marriage.

Even if that doesn’t happen,

he won’t

stay together with

a notorious woman like you.

You don’t look well.

And you have a disorderly pulse.

With the prescription I gave you last time,

you should have gotten better.

I’m actually a lot better.

You can hide it from others,

but you can’t hide it from me.

Judging from your condition,

I can tell you’ve either overworked,

or overthought things.

What’s more important

than your health?

Yanxi,

hold on.

I’ve something to ask you.

What’s it?

You’re close to the Emperor.

You should know very well

about the Imperial Army, right?

I know something about it.

It’s divided into the Dragon

and Tiger Army and the Dragon-Prancing Army.

Both armies take orders from the Emperor directly.

Why is it divided into two armies?

It’s a long story.

Both of them used to be

the Emperor’s personal armies.

Then both of them became an imperial army.

Han Qing, the leader of Dragon and Tiger Army

and Huang Shijian, the leader of
Dragon-Prancing Army

were at odds with each other

and constantly suppressed each other.

But the Emperor allowed that to happen,

so,

it’s common that the two armies

get into conflict.

Aunt Zhixia, what are you doing here?

Where did you hide Ci?

I didn’t hide him away.

I just saw

he go inside with Mr. Zuo.

They should have important things to discuss.

In which case,

let’s not disturb him.

Miss, I’ve never

seen you before.

May I know who you are?

I’m Yuan.

We don’t know each other.

Please don’t call me miss.

I’m new to the Yong State.

Ci

kept me company every day.

He also stayed in my palace at night

instead of staying in his palace.

I like it this way very much.

However,

it’s a shame

that I don’t have any chances to meet

other girls about my age.

You know what,

it’s good

that you get acquainted with someone

that’s well-educated.

But you’d be welcoming a wolf in

if you get acquainted someone

that’s coveting Mr. Jing.

Don’t worry, Aunt.

Ci and I

grew up together.

We have similar family status,

and we share a lot in common.

Others can’t possibly steal him away.

You’re right.

You’re a match made in heaven.

There’s no way

others can come between you.

Especially

those unscrupulous vixens.

Don’t even dream about it.

A match made in heaven?

It seems to be

an arranged marriage to me.

It’s all just

your wishful thinking.

This is also Duke Duan’s decision.

Since he came back from Qinhe,

he’s been

avoiding you all the time.

Don’t you know

what this means?

I don’t care if he cares about me.

What matters

is I care about him.

Listen up,

Duke Duan is still my man.

If it has to happen,

I’ll be the one that dumps him.

If I don’t want to let go of him,

even Heaven can’t break us apart.

You!

You’re so insolent!

So what?

By the way, here’s a piece of advice.

Don’t stick your nose

into others’ business.

Or you may hurt yourself.

You!

You see?

She’s trying to

throw her weight around?

I wish she could remember the past

and recall the scene

when she knelt in front of me

and begged for my mercy.

[Benefit the World]

This prescription is better

than the last one.

I’ll see if I can improve it.

If I could find the source of poison,

I’ll be more confident

of curing your illness.

I know my condition.

Don’t push yourself too much.

You want to see Yuan, right?

She’s been close to Beiyan recently.

If she didn’t leave yet,

she should be with Beiyan.

Mr. Nian.

Lu.

Greetings, Lord Junior.

It's so late.

Why are you here?

Did anything happen in Palace of Yuan?

It’s not that.

But Miss Yuan hasn’t gone back yet.

Yuan still hasn’t gone back?

I haven’t seen her

since I saw the Emperor off.

I thought she went back already

because it was too noisy here.

She didn’t.

She must be

still here.

Go look for Miss Yuan.

Yes.

Yuan!

She can’t drink much.

She must be

really drunk now.

Here.

Miss Yuan.

Yuan.

Yuan.

Ci,

don’t lie to me.

Prepare some soup.

Be careful. It’s hot.

Lord Junior.

You and Yuan are very close.

Now she’s drunk,

maybe she can

stay here tonight,

till she sobers up.

Alright.

Then please

tell Madam Yuan that

I’ll take good care of Yuan.

Good bye.

Good bye.

Miss, have another sip.

Here.

Ci wouldn’t lie to me.

He’s not such kind of person.

If he really lied to you,

would you believe him again?

Lu.

Yuan,

have another sip.

I don’t want to.

It hurts here.

Your heart?

I’ll get Yanxi here

to take your pulse.

The thought of

Ci getting married

with Wang Zesheng

makes

my heart

feels so empty,

like a huge void.

Once I touch it,

if feels so painful,

that I can’t

even breathe.

Well,

medicine can’t cure this.

The thought of

giving you to him

has the same effect on me.

But,

if you really are so painful,

I’ll go to Jing Ci tomorrow

and ask him what he’s thinking.

Don’t worry.

With or without the engagement,

I won’t let others bully you.

No need.

He told me

to trust him.

Then I’ll trust him.

I hope

he won’t let you down.

Of course

he won’t

let me down.

I trust him.

He also trusts me.

If

he disappoints me,

then...

I’ll dump him.

I’ll dump him.

Dump him.

Mr. Zuo,

Duke Duan has taken the medicine

and fallen asleep.

Okay.

Xiaohan,

make sure

Ci takes the medicine on time.

Also, continue paying attention to

the utensils he uses every day.

I’ve checked

the food and medicine,

there’s nothing wrong.

But he was being poisoned slowly

in both Qinhe and here,

the source of poison

must be the utensils

which we didn’t check thoroughly.

If we didn’t find the source of poison,

even if I could come up with

better prescriptions,

he’d still be tortured by the illness.

Yes.

I’ll pay attention to it.

My lady, you’re awake?

You’re awake?

How come I’m here?

You were drunk yesterday.

So Mr. Nian let you stay here.

Does your head still hurt?

I made people cook some porridge.

I’ll get you some.

Miss,

I’ll get you some water to wash.

Beiyan,

your study is well arranged.

Qingli often

sat here reading books.

She’d spend a whole afternoon reading sometimes.

She’d also ask the servants

to make tea outside the door.

She said that

the smells of the tea,

the flowers outside the room

and the books inside the room

are the best smells in this world.

I feel the same way, too.

Especially this painting.

With it hanging in this position,

the whole room

appears exceptionally elegant.

It must be a girl that painted it.

It evokes a feeling of seclusion.

My lady,

you painted this.

I can’t read,

but I know your name.

Your wrote the poem

and signature yourself.

The shadow of a candle was cast on a mica screen.

The stars declined as the milky way set.

Having to spend every night lonely,

Chang’e should regret taking the elixir of life.

By Qingli.

No.

I didn’t paint it.

I saw Qingli

paint it and write the poem

with my own eyes.

It can’t be me.

This is not my handwriting.

It’s easy.

You can just write something.

Judging from the handwriting,

it’s indeed very different.

You said that

I used to love writing and painting.

How come I never saw

any paintings that I painted

after I woke up?

Don’t you remember?

The first day after you woke up,

Madam Yuan asked the servants

to put away all the paintings.

Come!

A Taoist priest

told me to

rearrange Qingli’s room

to ward off evil spirits.

Now remove all the paintings on the wall,

as well as these paintings

on the desk.

My lady, do you remember?

Mother let the servants

put them away right after I woke up.

Does it mean that

she doesn’t want me to see them?

Yuan,

don’t think too much.

Madam Yuan loves you very much.

There must be

a reason for this.

Beiyan,

can you do something for me?

Madam,

we’ve got news from the Ji state.

That girl named Feng Mianwan

who married General Li Yuan

not only looks exactly

like Miss Qingli,

she’s also good at painting,

gentle and intelligent.

And she and General Li Yuan love each other.

When I read the files of Ministry of Justice,

I felt that

this must be an accident

staged by Qingli herself.

Now seeing that

she’s living her life happily,

I feel relieved.

Miss Qingli is really smart.

It’s really great that

her dream has come true.

Miss Yuan became a replacement.

But it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

They wouldn’t

help Qingli and send Yuan

back to me for nothing.

Look at how Yuan

has been humiliated.

Jing Ci

must’ve pulled some really dirty tricks

to win Yuan’s heart.

But he’s keeping Wang Zesheng company

in the palace every day,

and ignoring Yuan completely.

However, Lord Junior

is treating Yuan

wholeheartedly,

and he’s not

having an affair with anyone.

Seems that

it’s time for me

to do something for them.

I’ll go to the Emperor tomorrow

and ask him to

let Beiyan inherit his father’s position.

[Palace of Duke Duan]

Mr. Jing,

I’ve found that craftsman that

carved the badges for Lord Ye.

But he

died a month ago.

A month ago?

Which means

he was killed not long after

we found this badge.

Yes.

But there aren’t many badges

made of this material.

I’ve brought the badges that are found

in that craftsman’s house here.

I also

found one from Palace of Ye.

Secret color ware.

It really

has something to do with Lord Ye?

Mr. Jing.

Aunt, what’s it?

How can you be so calm?

Princess Zesheng went to Spring Palace.

She’ll live in Yong State for a long time.

Isn’t it good for her

to make some friends?

With more friends,

she’ll probably get used to

her life here faster.

So that she won’t need me

to keep her company every day.

Mr. Jing,

how are you still not getting it?

Spring Palace is

Lord Ye’s residence.

Both Lord Bo and Lord Qing

have sent invitations to her.

And now,

that idle Lord Ye

is also currying favor with her.

How can you remain so calm?

Don’t you know what it means

to marry the princess?

The Emperor might be...

But he’s your birth father.

Why don’t you try

and get the things that belong to you?

Aunt,

I’ve been

taking medicine every day.

And yet you want me to compete with others.

Do you want me to become a chronic invalid?

Aunt.

Right.

Now,

nothing is more important

than Mr. Jing’s health.

But do you want to give Zesheng to another man?

She went to Spring Palace.

I actually want to go there, too.

Zesheng, try this.

it contains nectar from 100 kinds of flowers.

It’s very sweet,

and delicious.

To collect nectar from 100 kinds of flowers,

you’ll have to collect it

in several seasons.

So it’s really a long process.

I’m afraid it contains dead insects.

Is it really

edible?

That makes sense.

Let’s not eat it then.

Have some tea.

Duke Duan is here.

Let him in.

Yes.

Your highness.

Duke Duan,

let’s have tea together.

Ci,

what took you so long?

I’m so bored.

There so many things

to eat and drink here.

How come you’re bored?

It’s no fun

merely eating and drinking.

Cats and dogs

eat and drink every day.

You’re really humorous.

Let’s go,

Ci.

Let’s play Go.

Okay.

Lord Ye, please don’t take it to heart.

Princess Zesheng hasn’t been well recently.

It’s about time

for her

to take the medicine.

I’ll take her back then,

and will bring her here

another day to have tea with you.

Never mind.

Tell Zesheng

to visit me when she’s available.

Yes.
