[A Familiar Stranger]

Because I saw a painting.

What painting?

Have you seen this painting before?

I-I have.

When did you draw this painting of me?

A long time ago.

How long ago?

Before you knew me.

Why did you draw me?

Because...

Because...

Why?

I like you.

What do you mean by that?

I mean I respect,

adore,

admire,

idolize, and...

And?

And...

Madam is recovering well. You don't have to worry.

As for her health, are there any other abnormalities?

W-Well...

You can continue stuttering. However, if anything bad befalls my child,

I'll hold you responsible.

General, have you known all along?

Nope. I just found out.

I'll be frank. Madam has been pregnant for some time.

She's really pregnant.

Thank you, Imperial Physician Xun.

Please don't say that.

Madam, it's getting cold. Wait here for me while I get you a cloak.

Okay.

General.

Do you want to take a stroll in the night market? I'll accompany you.

It's best if the general goes with you. Someone needs to keep an eye on the tonics brewing in the kitchen.

Well, I'll get on with my task.

Let's go.

While I was on the way back to the manor, I saw some civilian couples holding hands while browsing the night market.

We've been married for so long, but I never got the chance to come to the night market with you.

General, don't you have any questions for me?

If you have something you want to tell me, I believe you'll do so.

As long as I know I'm in your heart, I'm satisfied.

Mister, give me a stick of candied hawthorns.

Thank you.

This is perfect. Yuanbao is bound to make a fuss if she finds out we went out. We can bring this back for her.

All of Yuanbao's teeth are going to decay. She can't eat any more sweets.

You can have it.

Quick, have a bite.

♫ Waiting for the rain to stop The moon shines radiantly above the tower ♫

I know you have troubles you cannot reveal.

Don't worry.

I will face everything with you.

Shi Qi.

♫ Shadows quiver Fresh kindness fail to override old grievances ♫

♫ How much has been lost thus far? ♫

♫ Weaving into a ballad ♫

Well... Let's just bring it back for Yuanbao.

Well... Let's head over there.

Mm.

♫ I'm afraid that the story will not be able to portray the amazing beauty of that year ♫

Miss, buy one.

Isn't this for newborn babies?

Do you like them too?

I'm just browsing.

Thank you.

- Let's go. - Mm.

Longevity lockets. Take a look.

Longevity lockets.

Mister, take a look.

Longevity lockets. Longevity lockets.

Sure.

As per your orders, I commissioned the city's most skilled craftsmen to engrave these words.

Prepare an exquisite brocade box too.

Xiao Hansheng, you're going too far. I'm your military advisor.

I'm not your errand boy. Why are you asking me to do this?

Military Advisor Yun, you are meticulous,

impossibly intelligent, capable, and wise.

More importantly, you're the only one who's truly understood me since young.

I won't be at ease if I leave this to someone else.

When have you become such a flatterer?

An exquisite brocade box, right? Leave it to me.

- Well, about those compliments earlier— - Get going.

It's time to sit down and discuss your identity.

Don't worry. I invited you over today just to chat.

Why are you drinking wine again?

All these years, you're the second person who's shown concern for me.

Let's swap them back.

I'll explain everything to the general.

Actually, I can tell His Highness cares for you.

You're too naive.

Even if we swap them back, I believe Xiao Hansheng wouldn't care who you are.

However, I know Ziheng's temper too well.

Even if he loves me now, he'll grow sick of me.

Aren't you curious about my unusual devotion to Ziheng?

Actually, it's not so easy being the Prime Minister's daughter.

I remember on one of the Yuanxiao Festivals when I was still a child,

my second elder brother invited me to watch the fireworks.

I thought he wanted me to play with him.

In the end, it was just a bet.

They wanted to know if I was stupid enough to hurt my own eyes.

Do you know?

At that time, Ziheng dashed out and protected me.

This was the first time in my entire life I grasped the feeling of being protected.

It isn't the time to swap our faces back yet.

Complete one final task for me.

I won't just swap our faces back.

I'll make sure you reunite with your sister.

But if I get my face back, I will no longer be the general's wife.

How should I even face the general?

Come and take a look.

Take a look. Longevity lockets.

Mister.

Sorry. Miss, are you all right?

I'm fine.

It's you.

I'll take you back to Prince Ning's Manor.

Let go of me. I want to return to the General's Manor.

Fine. Let's go.

I'll take you to the General's Manor.

Open the door.

Get the imperial physician!

- What happened to Madam? - Make way! Get the imperial physician!

The imperial physician! Get the imperial physician!

Are you all right?

- Are you really all right? - Your Highness, watch your behavior.

Scram!

- Stop. - General.

Fuling, get the imperial physician. Make sure everyone in the manor stays away.

- Understood. - Understood.

Where is the imperial physician? Xiao Hansheng, is this how you care for her?

Right now, she's—

Xiao Hansheng! How dare you hit me!

She's my woman.

If you lay a hand on her again, I'll kill you.

Are you feeling any pain?

General.

I'll take you back to your room.

Xiao Hansheng.

Xiao Hansheng, whose child do you think is in her belly?

Mine.

General. Put me down.

Shen Qin.

Tell him whose child you're carrying.

General, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you for so long.

Heard that?

Your Highness.

I'm not Shen Qin.

Listen.

What did you say?

I'm really not Shen Qin.

I'm just a nameless painter. She swapped our faces.

Swapped your faces?

Swapped faces? What does that mean? What are you blabbering?

General, I'm sorry. Shen Qin swapped my face and married you in her place.

You're lying. You're lying to me.

You came up with such a ridiculous excuse just for him? I don't believe you!

I can prove I'm not Shen Qin.

♫ Biding the springs and autumns of the world with a big dream, but you still recognized my eyes after our separation ♫

♫ Endless love and hate remain while dwelling on old grudges, like the shining stars ♫

♫ Taking a stroll with a few people like age-old yearning turns into wine ♫

♫ A face may change easily, but the heart remains unchanging until my hair turns white ♫
