=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 29)

Prince Jin,

you forged a maid's background,

resorted to deception,

and entered the mansion without permission during curfew hours.

You shall be confined to your mansion

and shall never leave your mansion

without permission.

Your Highness.

It really is not his fault.

Please take back your order.

I accept the punishment.

I kneel to thank you, Your Highness.

Let me take the blame.

You must not confess.

I'll give you one last chance.

Tell me everything

you should tell me.

Talk.

Tell me.

The ground must be cold.

Jinyan.

My heart can grow colder

and harder

until it is invulnerable.

I thought

I had someone

to trust my life with,

open my heart to and spend my life with

in these cruel times.

Your Highness,

I'm just pleading for them.

Please take back your order.

What is done can't be undone.

A broken mirror can't be mended.

I can't take back

my order.

What if...

What if I can mend the broken mirror and undo what is done?

If you can mend what is broken,

I can take back my order

and let them live.

Okay. It's a deal.

Are you doing this for him?

I'm not doing this for him.

I'm doing this for my conscience.

♪The starlight dimed and the water overflowed the banks.♪

I

have heard enough.

♪We ever vowed not to part,♪

♪which turned out to be lies♪

♪and a play you put on.♪

♪The dream is so beautiful clad in rosy dress.♪

♪You left marks in my memories of days and nights.♪

♪How can I return to you♪

♪all those bygones?♪

♪The pain is beyond what words can express.♪

♪Cracks appear on my broken heart.♪

♪Why are my memories all about you?♪

♪The blossoms withered and the mirror broke into pieces.♪

♪It is not that I am unwilling to fulfill your wish.♪

Hell no, it's the time of Wu (11 AM).

Where is my glazed mirror?

(Qinzheng Hall)

Did you think you could lock me up?

Your Highness, you have a lot of servants.

Surely, you would have your ways to break out.

So you know.

Since you know how capable I am, take this.

I haven't done anything to deserve this reward.

If you didn't eat the food,

I would think your imperial cooks are useless

and kill them all.

You threaten people's lives all the time.

Where are your manners?

I don't care.

Guard Zhong,

has Prince Yu's order about punishing Prince Jin taken effect?

All you talk about is Prince Jin.

Can't you sense

Prince Yu's feelings for you?

Do you have to hurt him coldly?

I...

I can't talk to you.

It's almost the time of Wu. I'm going to be late.

According to Prince Yu's order,

no one must barge in.

Let me in!

Jinyan, are you going to disobey Prince Yu's order?

Look at you.

You are colder than ice.

How can you accuse her of being cold?

You must not barge in.

Can't you sense

my feelings for you?

(Qinzheng Hall)

Your Highness.

Look.

Eunuch Li.

You disobeyed my order by entering the hall.

You have committed a crime.

I'm aware of my crime.

No.

You are not.

I really am aware of my crime.

Your Highness.

Yesterday, you have promised me

to pardon Prince Jin

if I could mend this glazed mirror.

You really care a lot

about Prince Jin.

No.

I just want to save Mr. and Mrs. Jiang who offered help to me.

Alright.

I will declare an amnesty

to pardon the couple.

However, as the mastermind behind the crime,

Prince Jin will be confined to his mansion.

What,

are you still discontented?

You want me to pardon Prince Jin too?

Your Highness,

I involved Prince Jin in this.

The war in the northern borderlands isn't over yet.

Please think twice.

You only care about Prince Jin.

You are dismissed.

Let me serve at the dinner table.

Li Chaohai,

summon Princess Rongjing to serve me at the dinner table.

Then...

Then I will go wipe the vases in Dongnuan Pavilion.

No need.

Li Chaohai, take her away.

Yes.

After you.

(Yongning Pavilion)

Outrageous!

This is utterly outrageous!

They deceived the imperial family.

Is Prince Yu going to stand by?

Calm down, Your Majesty.

Let's wait for Prince Yu's decision.

Even if Prince Yu shows favoritism,

we will keep track

of the whereabouts of Mr. and Mrs. Li.

You can interrogate them yourself after we find them.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

On Prince Yu's order, Prince Jin has been confined to his mansion

and will never leave his mansion without permission.

What?

What crime has Qi committed?

It's said he attempted to harm Prince Yu's official and disturbed the harem.

Prince Yu didn't punish those who deserved punishment. Instead, he hurt his brother.

Jiang Dezhong,

send my people to Prince Jin's Mansion

and ask him what happened.

If Qi is wronged,

I will seek justice for him.

(Prince Jin's Mansion)

Eunuch Jiang, please leave.

I did arrange for the couple.

It's not anyone else's fault.

Just report truthfully.

But Your Highness,

Her Majesty wants you to tell her how you are wronged,

so she can seek justice for you.

Don't worry about the consequences.

I said

I arranged the whole thing

to do Prince Yu's official a favor and bribe her.

If you dare to persuade me to say anything else,

you sow discord between the members of the imperial family

and your crime is punishable by death.

Yes. Yes.

I'm aware of my mistake.

Excuse me.

Your Highness,

the Palace Guards have surrounded the mansion.

The carrier pigeon I just sent

has been shot down by them.

Now we can't put the word out.

Your Highness,

we are at Prince Yu's mercy now.

Aren't you worried?

What's there to worry about?

Protecting Jin'er

is my top priority.

Yes.

Who can help Prince Jin?

Why are you here again?

I...I...

I like your place.

You locked me up here that day

and I stayed here. Now it's my place.

I came today.

And I will come tomorrow.

Is everyone in Nanyu

unreasonable like you?

I'm the most unreasonable person

of them all.

Fine.

You are not leaving.

I'm leaving.

I...I will leave.

Prince Yu has put on an act

good enough for me recently.

My father and brother have started to treat me attentively.

I will head back to Nanyu soon.

I don't have anything valuable with me.

The snakes and monkeys I adore

can't be given as presents.

I can only cook something for you

so as to create some fond memories with you.

But I never expected

to see the food untouched by you.

If I ask Prince Yu for you,

will you leave with me?

Prince Yu won't allow you to have me.

What if he allows?

Sorry.

Little master got punished because of me.

Is it wrong for me to plead for him?

What happened?

How can this be?

The jade and icy peach blossoms.

How did this happen?

What happened to the jade and icy peach blossoms?

What are you doing?

Your Highness.

You...

What to do?

The jade and icy peach blossoms.

I think they died.

You even killed the jade and icy peach blossoms.

I didn't.

Stop.

From now on,

you won't serve at my place.

You'll regret this.

Stop.

What's the matter?

Seize her.

What?

Your Majesty, she has been brought here.

Are you aware of your crime?

I am not.

Framing a member of the imperial family is a capital crime.

I didn't frame anyone.

You broke the family rules repeatedly.

You even played Prince Yu

and Prince Jin off against each other.

Servants.

Lock her up in the detention room.

She will be flogged 100 times after writing a confession.

Servants, take her away.

Halt!

Without my order,

no one must touch her.

Prince Yu,

I have been living in this mansion for over 40 years.

Would you

disregard our kinship?

I don't know what you mean.

I'll never allow the imperial family's reputation to be damaged

or a maid

to create rifts

between you and Qi.

If you

clash with me

for a maid,

I will blame myself

for failing to make my son understand

what the nation and the great cause mean.

Servants, take her away.

Mother.

I know

you think I handled this matter unfairly.

So you sent your people to Prince Jin's Mansion.

Jiang Dezhong is there already.

We might as well wait for a while

and hear what my brother will say.

Yes.

Yes.

I pay respect to you, Your Highness.

You are back.

What did Prince Jin say?

Prince Jin said

he did it

all by himself.

Impossible.

Mother.

You don't believe me.

But you should believe my brother.

You...

Your Majesty.

Summon an imperial doctor.

Your Majesty.

You have irritated the Princess Dowager into falling ill. Get out.

If anything bad happens to the Princess Dowager,

I will hold you accountable.

Get out.

Don't come to Yongning Pavilion again.

Yes.

Boss. Boss.

Boss.

I finally found you.

Xiao...

I was worried sick about you.

The night dew is heavy. You may catch a cold easily.

Go back to Yihua Pavilion.

I can't go back.

Boss.

Prince Yu has given his word.

He...

He no longer needs me.

Prince Yu is just having a fit.

My adoptive father and I will try to talk him around tomorrow.

It's of no use.

Prince Yu said those things out of anger.

Don't take his words to heart.

I'm not mad at him.

It's just

that I know I'll have no place to go

once I leave Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion.

Actually, you have a special place in Prince Yu's heart.

(Qinzheng Hall)

Xiaoxizi,

hasn't Prince Yu bunked down yet?

I hear he has important affairs concerning the northern borderlands to handle.

He summoned several lords to the mansion at night.

(Qinzheng Hall)

The situation in the northern borderlands was stabilized earlier.

How come the war has resumed already?

Do you have any good plan?

With Prince Jin's departure from the borderlands,

the enemy found an opportunity to exploit.

We mustn't take any rash action right now.

We are in dire need of a sweeping victory to turn the tide.

You may speak straightforwardly.

Prince Jin requested me to seek your permission

to fight in the northern borderlands.

I dare not make any remark about the harem affairs.

But the military situation is urgent.

Please think twice, Your Highness.

We second him.

Prince Jin's wish is granted.

You are dismissed.

Has she been found?

Xiaoxizi found her at Taiye Pond.

She has returned to Yihua Pavilion and bunked down.

Do you want to visit her?

No.

Prince Jin had been refusing to battle.

How come he suddenly came around?

You really are our god of war.

Whenever there is warfare,

you get away

with any serious crime you've committed.

I'm currently imprisoned at my mansion.

I have asked to battle because I want what's best for our nation.

I'm grateful

that you have forgiven me.

Don't belittle yourself.

This time, you shall not come back

to see anyone you miss

before the war ends.

Yes, Your Highness.

Servants.

Bring the general's seal.

Hold on.

Mother, you...

This is my hall.

I'm sending my son off for war.

So what if I came to your hall?

You are right.

Please give your instruction.

Prince Jin has spent ten years fighting for the nation.

He took up arms,

maintained combat readiness,

and never hesitated to risk his life.

Now he is almost 30 years old

without a wife and children.

The battlefield is dangerous. If he dies

and leaves no child behind,

how will I face the late Sovereign Prince?

What do you mean?

Before he goes to battle as the commander,

I want to arrange a marriage for him.

Mother.

A marriage is a small matter.

I will give Prince Jin

whatever he asks for.

After Prince Jin returns with victories,

I will find a high-born lady for him.

It's an important matter for me.

Please arrange a marriage for me before I leave.

It's the only way to set my mind at ease.

Good.

Considering you took risks

for Prince Yu's maid repeatedly,

you must like her very much.

To ensure peace in Prince Yu's harem

and fulfill your wish,

I'm designating her as your wife.

You can decide whether she will be

your consort or concubine.

Your wedding will be held right after your victorious return.

I disapprove the marriage.

I beg to marry your maid Jinyan.

Please grant my wish.

I beg to marry your maid Jinyan.

Please grant my wish.

How dare you!

I beg to marry your maid Jinyan.

Please grant my wish.

Shut up!

I know

Jinyan is your maid.

But it doesn't matter if she is a maid

or a beggar,

a high-born lady

or a poor girl,

I only want her.

If I can have her as my consort,

I'll do everything I can to defeat the enemy.

You...

All of you,

do you even respect me?

She is my maid!

A maid is not enrolled in the harem.

She can marry a member of the imperial family.

It's not against our ancestral rules.

Please grant my wish.

When I designated her as his wife,

you rejected my reasonable instruction.

When Prince Jin requested a marriage,

you rejected his reasonable request.

Prince Yu,

are you going to disappoint 100,000 officers and soldiers?

I'm tired.

Prince Yu!

Are you going to disgrace me in public?

Your Highness!
