Thousands of flower buds are growing.

Listen to the whirlwind.

With shining spears, ride armored horses.

Whose face do you care about all your life?

This love is flawless.

The wind and sand of time sweep the face.

Flowers fade, fly and fall over the sky.

Hope everyone can live a quiet life respectively.

Time withers and blossoms again.

Those memories will not be put down.

It is like flowers which pile up and fall down on the edge of the heart.

Calligraphy and paintings depict long years.

Hope fingertips are like water and like sand.

Flowers fly and blossom all over the sky.

Time withers, but it is difficult to fade time.

Those memories will not be put down.

All the lingering words are written down.

It is like flowers which pile up and fall down on the edge of the heart.

Calligraphy and paintings depict long years.

The Flowers Fly All over the Sky Episode 44

What on earth is going on?

Don't be hesitant.

You're the prime minister of the throne room.

Guangzong,

here is the Imperial Study instead of the Hall of Golden Chime.

Only you and I are here.

You can say whatever you want.

Feel free to say it.

Your Majesty,

it concerns Xie Qianxun,

the daughter of a guilty minister, and Princess Qingcheng.

The present Princess Qingcheng

is actually Xie Qianxun.

Xie Qianxun is your daughter,

the noble Princess Qingcheng.

What did you say?

Xie Qianxun is Princess Qingcheng.

Princess Qingcheng is Xie Qianxun.

Well…

What do you mean by that? I'm confused.

Your Majesty, you did not hear me wrong.

That's exactly what I mean.

Princess Qingcheng changed her face

with Xie Qianxun on her way to peace-making marriage.

What?

So it is Xie Qianxun, the daughter of a guilty minister,

who married into the Hua Family under the name of the princess

and enjoyed the treatment of the princess in the Hua Family.

And it is your beloved daughter,

the real princess Qingcheng,

who worked hard and suffered a lot

in the Hua Family.

How can this be?

Nonsense.

How could there be such a strange affair in the world?

Your Majesty,

it's incredible,

but that's what happened.

I know a lot about

the evidence of their face-changing.

I'll tell you one by one.

As for why the princess and Xie Qianxun changed their faces,

they were bewitched by Hua Zhengkun and Hua Mantian.

Hua Mantian loved Xie Qianxun deeply,

so at the expense of making the princess suffer,

he instigated the princess and Xie Qianxun to change their faces.

Xie Qianxun became his principal wife

under the name of princess.

What's more, Hua Zhengkun had very good personal friendship

with Xie Youdao

and sympathy for the Xie Family being exterminated,

so he took care of his friend's daughter in this way.

If that's the case,

Hua Zhengkun and Hua Mantian did commit high treason.

What does he think of me?

What does he think of Princess Qingcheng?

It's about the royal blood.

I won't make irresponsible remarks.

Your Majesty,

you just need to summon Princess Qingcheng

and Xie Qianxun to the palace

to have a blood test.

It is natural to distinguish

who is the daughter of a guilty minister

and who is the princess.

Attendants.

Yes.

Send my decree to the Hua Family

and summon Hua Zhengkun, Hua Mantian, Xie Qianxun

and Princess Qingcheng

to me.

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Don't tell them

what it is.

Yes.

Lady.

Now I'm going to unveil you.

You have to be mentally prepared.

Let me unveil it for Lady Qianxun.

Little Goddess, unveil it for Princess Qingcheng.

Well, Qian...

No. Your Highness. Qianxun.

What's going on?

Good health to you, Your Excellency and Seneschal Lian.

Seneschal Lian is here to announce the imperial decree.

Go and ask Her Highness and Lady Qianxun

to accept the imperial decree.

Your Excellency, Seneschal Lian,

Princess Qingcheng and Lady Qianxun

have suffered from facial illness recently

and have been in bed for many days.

I'm afraid they can't come out and accept the imperial decree.

Lady Zhusha,

His Majesty summons Princess Qingcheng and Lady Qianxun

to the palace in a hurry.

It can't be delayed.

Not to mention facial illness,

even if they suffer from serious illnesses,

we will carry them

into the palace today.

Eunuch Lian,

I wonder why His Majesty summons Her Highness and Qianxun

to the palace.

Please tell me about it.

So we can prepare for Her Highness and Lady Qianxun beforehand

before they enter the palace.

Please forgive me, Your Excellency Minister Hua.

I'm only responsible for issuing the imperial decree.

Forgive me

for not saying the thing I shouldn't.

Good health to you, Your Highness.

Please rise, Eunuch Lian.

Why do you come to me today,

Eunuch Lian?

Does my father issue any imperial decree to me?

Your Highness,

here's His Majesty's oral instruction.

Summon Princess Qingcheng, Minister Hua,

Commander Hua Mantian and Lady Qianxun to the palace.

It can't be delayed.

Yes.

Yes.

Good health to you, father.

My greetings to you, Your Majesty.

Rise to your feet.

-Thank you, Your Majesty. -Thank you, Father.

I summon you to the palace today

because I have heard of a strange affair in the world,

so I want to prove it to you.

What is it?

Qingcheng,

Qianxun,

I heard that you two changed faces.

Is that true?

I changed the face with Qianxun.

Is there such a strange affair in the world?

This is so absurd.

Where did you hear such an absurd thing?

I reported it to His Majesty.

The royal bloodline must not be confused.

I dare not conceal what I know of a case.

Minister Sima, are you a dotard?

Changed faces?

How dare you talk nonsense?

How can faces be changed easily?

Are you telling a fairy tale?

How dare you confuse His Majesty

and frame me up with heresy

in the imperial palace?

Do you know how severe a crime it is?

This is a serious matter.

If I'm not completely sure,

I dare not tell His Majesty.

Princess Qingcheng,

I know

you were bewitched by Hua Zhengkun and Hua Mantian,

so you changed your face with the daughter of a guilty minister.

I guess you must have suffered a lot of grievances

in the Hua Family during this period of time.

Don't be afraid

to tell the truth to His Majesty.

His Majesty is wise and will dispense justice for you.

Prime Minister Sima,

I really can't understand what you're talking about.

I'm Xie Qianxun.

That's my name.

Xie Qianxun?

Princess Qingcheng,

your face can be changed,

but blood can't be changed.

Since you insist that it is an absurd idea

to change your faces.

Do you dare to have a blood test

in front of His Majesty?

Through the blood test,

it's easy to see

who the real princess is

and who the fake one is.

Your Majesty,

you're the monarch.

Blood test needs you to prick your finger.

It will hurt your body.

Commander Hua, you are wrong.

His Majesty's body is important,

but the royal bloodline is more important.

How can the daughter of a guilty minister confuse it?

If Her Highness is reduced to

a low level maid of the Hua Family,

and the daughter of a guilty minister occupies the position of the princess

and gains fame by deceiving the public,

isn't it a joke?

The spirits of the royal ancestors

and Her Highness's late natural mother

will be extremely heartbroken.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

Princess Qingcheng and Qianxun

have been living in my house all the time.

I've never heard of their face-changing

and I've never found

anything wrong with their behavior.

Where did Prime Minister Sima know it from?

He clearly wanted to upset Your Majesty

and provoke the father-daughter relationship between Your Majesty and Her Highness.

Minister Hua,

based on what you said,

you don't know anything about Xie Qianxun's face-changing

with Her Highness, huh?

Are you in such a hurry

to clear up your relationship with this matter?

Enough. Stop quarreling.

Imperial Physician.

Yes.

Prepare for the blood test.

Father,

do you not believe me

and doubt my identity?

Prime Minister Sima is right.

The blood of the royal family is not to be confused,

let alone questioned.

I'm doing this

to clear your identities.

Begin.

Why did His Majesty

summon Zhengkun, Mantian,

Qingcheng and Qianxun

to the palace?

My eyelid is twitching all the time.

It looks like something big is going to happen.

Ever since Princess Qingcheng and Qianxun came to the Hua Family,

there have been many disturbances,

and they have never stopped.

I don't know

what these children did again.

Grandma, mother,

don't worry too much.

Nothing will happen.

Grandma,

sit back and rest for a while.

Why don't I worry about it?

Tell me the truth.

What did you guys do

on Lake-center Island?

Is there anything

you hide from us elders?

It's not too late to tell us now.

At least we can think of some countermeasures.

Grandma, what can we do?

You can rest assured.

Mantian and my father

will be back soon.

I promise that they will be safe and sound.

Old Ancestress.

Old Ancestress.

How is it?

Old Ancestress, Madame, Second Young Master.

Did you find out anything?

Why on earth did His Majesty

summon them to the palace?

Madame, I didn't find out anything.

People in the palace are tight-lipped.

I was afraid that Old Ancestress and Madame would be worried,

so I came back first.

Your Majesty,

the blood of Princess Qingcheng merges with yours,

which proves that you are the biological father and daughter.

The exclusion of Lady Qianxun's and your blood

proves that there is no blood relationship,

so the identity of Princess Qingcheng is undoubted.

How could that be?

Did they even change their blood?

That's impossible.

You don't like me.

You actually believed in words of such a crafty sycophant

and doubted the identity of your own daughter.

Now the blood test

proves my identity already.

Father, do you want to check

the cinnabar mole at the nape of my neck?

No need. No need. No need.

Check it. Hurry up. Check it.

Sima Guangzong framed me up

and said I'm not royal by blood.

Even you didn't believe me.

I don't want to live.

I would rather die.

Qingcheng.

Your Highness,

calm down. Don't do anything stupid.

What is true cannot become false, and what is false cannot become true.

I believe His Majesty

will explain to you.

Sima Guangzong,

you're an important court minister.

How dare you framed up

the princess with things that don't exist?

Now the facts are before us.

What can you say?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I was muddled and mistakenly believed in words of the crafty sycophant.

I beg Your Majesty

to forgive me for the sake of three generations

of loyal ministers in my family.

Your Majesty,

I was just too hot-blooded

and afraid that the royal bloodline was confused.

Sima Guangzong,

it was clear that you meant to frame me up.

How dare you blame others?

Fine. You said you listened to words of a crafty sycophant.

Then hand over

that crafty sycophant who spread rumors to me.

Let me see

who dared to frame me up.

I think the crafty sycophant mentioned by you

is you.

Well...

Your Majesty,

the Sima Family is always on bad terms with the Hua Family.

Sima Guangzong and Sima Qingfeng often frame the Hua Family up.

You know it.

Thanks to Your Majesty who is perspicacious,

the Hua Family didn't fall into the trap

set by the Sima Family.

Today's matter is very clear.

Sima Guangzong did not hesitate to frame Her Highness

for the purpose of getting rid of the Hua Family.

His intention was really vicious and sinister.

You mustn't tolerate him, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

Prime Minister Sima spared no effort to frame Her Highness

so as to frame the Hua Family.

It isn't a pity if the Hua Family dies.

But Her Highness is a descendant of the royal family.

Please dispense justice for Her Highness.

Indeed. Father, you must dispense justice for me

and punish those who spread rumors and caused trouble.

Your Majesty, I am wronged.

I am wronged.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

What's up? Why are you in a hurry?

Your Majesty, something bad happened.

Prime Minister Sima

reported on Princess Qingcheng and Xie Qianxun's face-changing.

His Majesty has summoned Princess Qingcheng, Xie Qianxun,

Hua Zhengkun and Hua Mantian to the palace now.

His Majesty had a blood test

with Princess Qingcheng and Xie Qianxun respectively

to prove who is the real princess

and whether they have changed faces.

So the face-changing of Qingcheng and Qianxun

was exposed to His Majesty?

Yes.

It is the ultimate lese-majesty.

I have to save my granddaughter.

Your Majesty, take it easy.

The result is different from what you think.

What is different?

The result of the blood test is that

His Majesty's blood merges with Princess Qingcheng and His Majesty's

and Xie Qianxun's blood mutually repel.

That's enough to say

Prime Minister Sima's report is simply nonsense

and rumor.

How could that be?

You didn't hear it wrong, did you?

No, I didn't.

His Majesty is now severely punishing Prime Minister Sima

for the crime of framing the princess

and framing the important court ministers.

But Prime Minister Sima really didn't make a false accusation.

They two did change their faces.

How could the result of the blood test

be like this?

Anyway, I have to go there.

I can't let His Majesty really kill

Prime Minister Sima in anger.

He is an important court minister.

Detain Sima Guangzong and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishments.

After trial, convict him of a crime according to law.

Your Majesty, calm your anger. Your Majesty.

Here comes Her Majesty.

Welcome Your Majesty respectfully.

-My greetings to you, Mother. -Grandma.

Rise to your feet.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

Deputy Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards Sima Qingfeng asked to see you

and said he has something important to report to you.

Let him in.

Yes.

I, Sima Qingfeng, bow before Your Majesties.

Sima Qingfeng,

you've come to plead for your father, huh?

Your Majesty,

I'm on duty today.

I heard what happened in the side hall.

I dare not plead for my father,

but as a son,

I dare not let my father take the blame for me.

I dare not deceive Your Majesty.

I heard about Her Highness's face-changing

from a crafty sycophant and told my father.

My father was loyal and worried that

your beloved princess suffered wrong,

so he came to report to you at once.

In the final analysis,

it's all my fault.

I listened to the rumor and got involved with my father.

Qingfeng, stop.

How can you

take all the blame?

Sima Qingfeng,

so, as you say,

your father is loyal.

He has done nothing wrong but something good, huh?

Your Majesty,

I was young and innocent

so I believed the rumor. Even my death cannot atone for the offence.

I'm willing to take all the responsibilities on my own.

My father is old. You're benevolent.

Please spare my father.

Your Majesty.

As a member in the harem, I shouldn't interference in the politics,

but this is related to Qingcheng and the Imperial Harem.

May I have a word?

Mother, go ahead.

Sima Qingfeng shows his filial piety.

I am so touched.

But he is young after all, so it is hard to avoid

being a soft touch and believing the rumor.

He is now well aware of

his mistakes.

Can Your Majesty give him a way out

and just punish him

for believing hearsay and rumor?

But Mother...

Your Majesty,

the Spring Festival is approaching.

It is just the time when the court

prays for peace and prosperity in the country and the people.

It is really inappropriate to punish Prime Minister heavily.

Can you punish them lightly

for my sake?

This is a blessing for the country and the court.

Your Majesties, you're benevolent.

So Grandma, you mean you won't punish Sima Guangzong

for framing me

and sowing discord

between me and my father?

Qingcheng,

stop it.

If it hadn't been for you,

how could it have happened?

I plead for Prime Minister

in order to eradicate your sins.

Shut up.

Since mother plead for them,

I won't hand this case to the Ministry of Punishments.

Sima Qingfeng.

Yes.

You're young and rash and have incorrectly relayed an erroneous message.

I will remove you from the post of Deputy Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards

and have you one level downgraded.

Yes.

Sima Guangzong.

Yes.

As an important minister of the country,

you didn't confirm the false rumor and reported it to me without any confirmation,

which almost caused

a misunderstanding between me and the princess.

So I will punish you for one year without salary,

so as to warm you.

Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You two just go outside and watch.

Nobody is allowed to come in and disturb us.

I have something to say with them.

Yes.

Go down.

Yes.

Good health to you, Grandma.

My greetings to you, Your Majesty.

Rise to your feet.

Which one of you is Qingcheng

and which one is Qianxun?

I am confused by you.

Come on, tell me the truth.

Qianxun, don't be afraid.

Actually, Grandma knew about

our face-changing long ago.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

I had to change my face

with Her Highness.

Alright, enough.

I'm asking

which of you is the real Qingcheng?

Grandma, I'm Qingcheng,

your real granddaughter.

Look, my cinnabar mole is here.

Well…

So you two

changed the faces back?

Touch my face. Touch it.

Am I Qingcheng, your real granddaughter?

Qingcheng, come on. Please rise.

My dear granddaughter.

Come on. Have a seat. Have a seat.

My dear granddaughter, you have suffered a lot.

Grandma, I'm not a filial child.

I made you worried.

You even had to hide it from my father with me.

Now I'm back.

Your granddaughter is back.

Good. Good. Good.

As long as you're safe.

Your Majesty, I changed the face with Her Highness

and illegally used her identity.

I should be put to death.

Please put me to death.

Qingcheng has told me

you changed the face with her

to save the Xie Family.

It showed your filial piety.

What's more, the princess also committed

the heinous crime of face-changing.

How can I punish you?

Please rise.

Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.

The god of destiny makes fools of the people.

As a matter of fact, you once served as my granddaughter too.

I also loved you dearly.

Take a seat to talk with me.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I want to ask you two.

Now that you've changed your faces

and your identities have changed back,

what are you going to do about the relationship with Hua Mantian?

Grandma,

I'm useless.

I have tried all kinds of ways

to make Hua Mantian fall in love with me and failed,

but I still cannot forget him

and let him go.

But now I'm tired.

Moreover, the Spring Festival is approaching.

I miss my family,

you and Father,

and want to live in the palace for a period of time.

I want to calm down and think about

the matter of Hua Mantian.

Fine.

In this case,

you can return to the Hua Family with Hua Mantian first.

I will issue an imperial decree several days later,

ordering to summon you to the palace for the Spring Festival.

Thank you, Grandma.

Qingfeng,

you shouldn't take all the blame yourself and lose the post of

Deputy Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.

I did all this

for you, father.

You have worked in the court for many years.

As long as your position remains the same,

there is still hope for the Sima Family.

The post of Deputy Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards I lost

can be back.

You're a filial son

and have risked your life to protect me.

I am both moved

and gratified.

Come in.

My greetings to you, Prime Minister, Young Master.

What can I do for you, Prime Minister?

Jinying, I command you

to find Chiying and kill her.

Prime Minister, what did Chiying do wrong?

Why do you want to kill her?

Previous news from her

led to more than 60 of eagles

being caught by Hua Mantian.

At that time, I suspected her betrayal,

but thought of years of affection,

I wanted to give her another chance,

but this time she brought back the news that

Qingcheng and Qianxun changed faces,

which almost sent me to the Ministry of Punishments,

and caused Qingfeng to lose the post of Deputy Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.

Shouldn't she die?

Prime Minister, Chiying is always loyal.

I don't think the reason for the misinformation she brought these two times

was that she betrayed us.

She must have been used by others.

Prime Minister,

please give her another chance to explain.

No need.

Last time, because of my kindness and softness,

I gave her a second chance

to harm the Sima Family.

I command you to kill Chiying without mercy.

Jinying, if you dare to appease Chiying,

you will be treated as a betrayer,

and end up like Chiying.

Tonight only one of you can survive.

Do you get it?

Yes.

I will send another group of people over

to prevent him from letting Chiying go.

Why?

Qingfeng, do you doubt Jinying, too?

No, I'm just in case.

After all, Jinying and Chiying

grew up together.

Now it is the time to prove Jinying's loyalty.

If he dares to disobey orders,

he will be punishable by death.

Father, what do you want to see me about?

Mantian,

don't you have anything to tell me

after what happened in the palace during the day?

What is it?

Isn't it just the case of Sima Guangzong and Sima Qingfeng?

They failed to frame the Hua Family up,

harming themselves

and being fined and demoted.

I have been working with Sima Guangzong in the court for many years,

and have been fighting with him openly and secretly for many years.

I know him very well.

Sima Guangzong was by no means a rash person.

He questioned the royal blood of the princess

and framed the princess,

which was a great crime.

How dare he report before His Majesty

if he wasn't 80 or 90 percent sure?

Tell me.

What's the matter with the face-changing between the princess and Qianxun?

What else are you hiding from me?

Didn't you see it all, father?

Sima Guangzong and Sima Qingfeng's accusations

are all false.

Qianxun and the princess had a blood test

with His Majesty respectively.

Can blood be false?

Although you refuse to say anything,

I still don't think

it's that easy.

Father, don't worry.

There's nothing wrong with this matter.

Sima Guangzong and Sima Qingfeng have suffered a lot this time.

They will learn a lesson.

They won't talk about it again.

Father, today's matter is over.

It's meaningless to look into it.

Are you sure it's over

and there won't be any more mistakes?

Are you sure it will not harm the princess,

Qianxun

or the Hua Family?

Father, I'm sure.

This matter is over.

Eldest brother.

Third brother.

Eldest brother, I heard that His Majesty summoned you, Father,

the princess and Sister Qianxun to the palace.

Is everything all right?

Nothing happened.

What about you?

Where are you going?

Me?

I'm going to look for Bing Ningxue.

I haven't seen her in the evening.

I'm afraid

she's not in Hua's Mansion anymore.

She's not in Hua's Mansion?

Did you send her to do something?

Third brother,

you're too naive.

Bing Ningxue is a spy sent into Hua's Mansion by the Sima Family.

She entered Hua's Mansion via you.

Mantian, what are you talking about?

Bing Ningxue is just an actress.

How could she be

a spy mentioned by you?

I won't lie to you.

Second brother and I have verified it.

We even used Bing Ningxue

to set a trap

and gave a heavy blow to the Sima Family.

If she wasn't a spy,

we couldn't achieve our goal.

That's impossible.

How could Bing Ningxue be a spy?

No, I must ask her.

Third brother,

I'm afraid you can't find her.

Think about it.

Sima Qingfeng is so vicious

and will not retain a spy who failed.

So you mean

Ningxue is in danger?

Chiying.

Jinying.

Jinying, your timing is just right.

Take me to Young Master.

I have something to explain to him.

They won't listen to

any more of your explanations.

I did not betray Master.

I was framed by Hua Mantian.

They don't believe me.

Don't you believe me, either?

I believe you,

but it's useless.

I'm in a low position and my words are of little effect.

So,

they sent you to kill me,

and they didn't even want to

listen to my explanation in person.

Fine.

I know the rules of eagles.

I won't make you feel awkward.

Jinying, begin.

Jinying, how could this be?

How could this be?

You are defeated by me on purpose, right?

Why are you so silly?

Don't cry.

Stay alive.

Jinying.

Jinying.

Jinying. Jinying.

Ningxue, where on earth are you?

I don't believe you are a spy.

I really don't believe it.

Did you just leave without saying a word?

Anyway,

I don't want you to be in danger.

I'm sure I'll find you.

Ningxue, I'm coming to save you. Are you okay?

Why did you come here?

It is my own business. Leave me alone.

Go now.

No. I want to protect your safety.

You are injured.

I told you to leave me alone.

Now,

don't you know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

You'll always be my Ningxue.

I feel ashamed to return to the Hua Family.

Third Young Master, take care.

Ningxue.

Ningxue.

Flowers in water

meet and part in duckweed.

Parting and separation

are unpredictable via the opportunity line.

The lingering sound spreads far.

This goes through the years.

Do you remember the first heartstrings?

In the water among clouds,

the Milky Way is like ink and the moon moans.

Write down an oath of no regret all over the sky.

Flowers drift away and time changes.

Give a red dot on the foreheads and frown with sadness.

Infatuation meets and lasts forever.

You love to see flowers flying all over the sky.

White lotuses with bluish pistils burst into bloom.

It is sweet to meet and hold hands.

But I can't find it.

Years have changed their faces.

Fleeting time

sorrows over grey hair

and wets the blue gown.

Ask swan gooses to sing and spread.

Years are amazing.

Draw the oath all over the sky.

When we were young and ignorant,

we were extremely frivolous and had ethereal dreams

and the moon was always round.

I have fallen in love and stuck to it all my life.

You love to see flowers flying all over the sky.

Bright red lotuses burst into bloom.

Meet and get together in a wink.

I'm still searching thousands of times.

Years have changed their faces.

Fleeting time

dots the red lips

and wets her kerchief.
