=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 30)

Why is she unwilling to marry me?

Calm down, Your Highness.

Calm down?

How can I calm down?

She has been lying to me this whole time.

Jin'er.

If you leave the mansion with me...

Your Highness, you promised me

to pardon Prince Jin

if I could mend this glazed mirror.

Little master.

Little master.

I beg to marry your maid Jinyan.

Please grant my wish.

Since you only care about Xiao Qi,

I will grant your wish.

Zhong Li.

Yes.

Send my order.

The front court maid Jinyan

is gentle, kind,

obedient and intelligent.

I hereby bestow marriage on her and Prince Jin, Xiao Qi.

Your Highness, please think twice.

I will grant her wish with dignity.

Your Highness!

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

Due to a sudden outburst of anger,

he passed out.

We have written a few prescriptions.

The prescribed drugs and acupuncture therapy

should be able to wake him up within six hours.

However...

Speak.

His Highness thought too much,

which hurt his internal organs.

He needs to rest peacefully.

Otherwise, it might become a recurrent illness.

The front court Jinyan

is gentle, kind, obedient and intelligent.

I hereby bestow marriage on her and Prince Jin, Xiao Qi,

to continue the family line.

Did...

Did Prince Yu really give this order?

Miss Jinyan,

Prince Yu has shown you great favor.

You are more than lucky to marry Prince Jin.

Prince Yu bestowed marriage on me?

No way. I want to see Prince Yu.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

I want to see Prince Yu.

I want to see Prince Yu.

I want to see Prince Yu.

Guard Zhong, are they mistaken?

Prince Yu would never bestow marriage on me.

He... He would never.

You should

know the reason.

Prince Yu was wrong to trust you.

I was wrong to trust you too.

I shouldn't have rescued you from the lake.

I...

I don't know the reason.

Let me in.

You want to know why?

Because Prince Jin is a high-ranking official.

He will head to the northern borderlands

as the commander.

He is the Sovereign Prince's right-hand man.

Of course Prince Yu wouldn't reject

his request for marrying a maid.

No.

No.

Prince Yu wouldn't treat me as a pawn.

He wouldn't give me to Prince Jin.

It makes no difference

if a mere maid serves at Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion

or Prince Jin's Mansion.

Did he...

Did he really say that?

You will become Prince Jin's wife soon.

You should avoid meeting with other men.

I've sent some servants to clean Shuyu Pavilion in the north.

You should move out of Prince Yu's place as soon as possible.

Fine.

Fine.

I can't bear staying here anyway.

Since he refused to see me today,

let him and me never see each other again.

We have basically finished cleaning.

Miss.

Miss.

You are dismissed.

Jin'er.

Jin'er.

Little master.

Jin'er, you are finally my wife.

After the wedding,

you will be able to leave

the Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion openly.

Wherever you want to go,

I will go with you.

After I return with victories,

our wedding will be held.

Then you will be able

to leave the cage named Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion.

You can be free

in this big world.

You can travel to a city of lakes or a desert.

You can go wherever you want.

I told you

I didn't want to leave.

Hold on. You are leaving for battle?

Jin'er,

there are many things you don't know about me.

Do you know why my title is Prince Jin?

I asked my father for this specific title.

Since then,

I have been in love with you.

I will endeavor to defeat the enemy,

so I can return soon

to marry you.

Jin'er,

will you wait for me

and try to accept me?

I swear to heaven

that I will treat you well

until death.

Is it true?

Did Prince Yu really bestow marriage on me?

Yes.

Then I wish you victories

and an early return.

Jin'er,

Prince Yu isn't husband material.

But I am.

Will you write letters to me

like you did before?

Little master,

the northern borderlands are faraway and the battlefield is dangerous.

Take care.

Your Highness, Prince Yu...

Prince Yu bestowed marriage on Prince Jin and Jinyan.

Really?

This is good.

Good.

As long as Prince Jin is happy.

Shanhai has sent word,

saying now is the time

to make a last stand for Prince Jin.

He heard from the Princess Dowager's people

that someone saw Jinyan

sneak into the Lofty Terrace

and take the testament.

She took it?

Yes.

Shanhai wants you to get the testament

before Prince Jin returns.

Yes. I will.

Your Highness, you are awake.

Your overthinking has made you ill.

You just took some medicine.

From now on, you should rest peacefully

and worry less.

Li Chaohai, send Doctor Mo off.

The rest of you, leave.

I'd like to be alone.

Your Highness.

She obeyed my order?

Yes.

She had disobeyed my orders repeatedly.

Now she obeyed my order without hesitation.

I guess she finally got what she wanted.

Yes.

Did she say anything else?

Prince Jin has gathered the troops.

He will leave for the northern borderlands tomorrow.

You should have a good rest.

Don't let those who don't deserve your kindness

hurt you again.

I know.

Have her wedding dress, bridal headpiece,

ornaments and accessories been prepared?

Let her have half of the wedding gifts a princess consort deserves.

Send the gifts to Yihua Pavilion.

She has moved out of Yihua Pavilion

and into Shuyu Pavilion in the north, waiting for her wedding.

She has moved out already?

She took all her things away.

Jinyan didn't hesitate.

Now that she is getting married,

I should give her something.

You are going to marry Prince Jin.

Why did you decide to marry Prince Jin?

I didn't know I'd be back to square one

after everything that had happened.

Jinyan,

you don't want to marry Prince Jin, right?

Listen to me.

Talk to Prince Yu.

Beg Prince Yu

to cancel the wedding of you and Prince Jin.

Sister, I can't make him cancel the wedding.

Prince Yu...

Prince Yu gave the order.

Then run away from the wedding.

I will help you.

You have experience.

You can go anywhere you want this time.

Run away from the wedding?

So you helped me run away from the previous wedding

because...

because of Prince Jin?

Yes.

Because of Prince Jin.

Why did Prince Jin fall for you?

You are flirtatious and fickle.

But they all love you.

Prince Jin went to battle and risked his life for you.

Prince Yu ignored the whole harem and only favored you.

Enough!

What?

You can't take it?

Do you know

I suffer every day?

Why can't you suffer?

It must be tough to be forced

to marry Prince Jin for warfare.

It's like the time I married Prince Yu

in your stead.

I was in pain.

People are fickle. There is no eternal love.

Even the loyal tree of love can wither.

How do you know the tree of love will wither?

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

♪Like a mirage, people dispersed after the party was over.♪

♪We ever vowed not to part,♪

♪which turned out to be lies♪

♪and a play you put on.♪

Your compensation.

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

Zhong Li.

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

Yes.

She left this behind. Send this to her.

This... This...

She must have left this behind on purpose.

Cut the ties

and both of you will be better off.

You are unwilling to go?

Fine. I will go.

Your Highness, Miss Jinyan is Prince Jin's wife now.

You should avoid meeting with her.

I know what to do.

You care so much about a tree.

But you show no care for me.

You claimed to love Prince Yu.

But you ended up marrying Prince Jin.

Why do you always take away my things?

Sister.

How did you become so malicious?

Malicious?

How dare you say so?

You have always wanted me dead.

What...

What are you talking about?

You have always hated me for stealing your Princess Consort's title.

You failed to kill me.

So you stole Prince Jin to retaliate against me.

How can you think of me this way?

Shut up.

Stop deceiving people

with this demeanor.

If you had truly loved Prince Yu,

you wouldn't have asked me to marry him in your stead.

If you had truly wanted what's best for Prince Jin,

you wouldn't have sabotaged his plan repeatedly.

What plan?

I have no wish to talk further.

Hand over the testament.

What testament?

I know the truth.

You were the person who hid behind the curtain

at the Lofty Terrace.

If you hadn't made trouble

and hidden the testament,

the Princess Dowager wouldn't have summoned our parents to the mansion

with intent to control us.

Do you know

you almost got everyone killed?

Jinyan,

you have always listened to me since childhood.

Listen to me now. Give me the testament.

Sister.

I really don't have the testament.

You are his legitimate wife now.

You, more than anyone, should hasten to help him.

If you love him...

-Sister. -If you cherish him,

I will let him lead a happy life with you.

But if you harm him and get him in trouble,

I might as well

make sure he will never see you again.

Sister!

Sister, calm down.

I... I will help Prince Jin.

Really?

I...

I had feelings for Prince Jin when I was young.

And I accepted the marriage with an open heart.

Of course I'm willing to help him.

But I really don't have the testament.

After Prince Jin returns,

someone will hand the testament to him for sure.

Are you speaking the truth?

Prince Jin and I are childhood sweethearts

and our love is deep.

I hope he will have what he wants

and bask in glory.

How affectionate...

Your Highness.

... and righteous you are, Princess Consort Jin.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Didn't you refuse to see me?

I simply found a thing you left behind

and wanted to give it back.

But it seems

you no longer need it.

I was foolish to assume you needed it.

I knew you were cruel.

But I didn't know you were this cruel.

Fine.

Let it break.

Yes. Let it break.

You never cared.

I sought the testament

to fulfill the late Sovereign Prince's wish.

Now I don't need to do that.

I'm already the Sovereign Prince,

which means I'm the chosen one.

You can give him the testament.

I won't fear.

Your Highness, the troops have arrived in Wan City.

Their first battle against the enemy is victorious.

Prince Jin appointed Lord An as his Vice General

and encircled the enemy from the left.

The enemy suffered a crushing defeat.

Prince Jin recovered seven cities in the northern borderlands.

Then, on the 23rd day of June, he recovered another two cities.

Prince Jin used to march his troops steadily.

But he launched attacks proactively this time.

I don't understand.

The only reason he spares no effort on the battlefield

is that he looks forward to coming back for his wedding.

It's not a bad thing

for our nation.

Your Highness,

your health just improved slightly.

Don't do anything that could cause harm to you.

Has she ever visited my hall these days?

No.

But every ten days,

Jinyan writes a letter to Prince Jin in the northern borderlands,

telling him to come back soon.

I'm a little tired.

Her Highness has invited you to Taiye Pond for a talk.

Men and women should maintain a distance from each other. I dare not go.

Forgive me.

Her Highness

will head back to Nanyu next month.

Then I wish her a safe journey.

Are you really not going?

Your Highness,

this is the pastel hexagon vase set.

The color is mundane.

That's the colorful glazed jade belt.

Too ordinary.

Isn't there anything novel?

There is

the ancient warm mutton fat jade.

He doesn't like jade.

It's said the token of love

is the most important.

I'm going to leave

Jin City soon.

But I can't even pick a decent gift.

Your Highness.

Where is he?

He said he didn't have time

due to his work shifts.

Your Highness,

Guard Zhong has always been cold

and at Prince Yu's side.

It's hard to find out what he likes.

In my opinion,

we should ask someone who is familiar with him.

Familiar with him?

The maid serving at Prince Yu's place.

She is not a maid anymore.

Prince Yu has ordered

her to marry Prince Jin.

I don't care if she is a princess consort or a maid.

Come with me.

I will get an answer from her.

His mood swings often.

But he is not completely heartless.

Can it be

that piece of yellow silk is the testament?

Does he think I have the testament?

I shouldn't have put it back that day.

I can't enter the back room of the Lofty Terrace without permission.

What should I do?

If I have the testament,

I will be able to explain things to him.

Whatever.

I must give it a try, even if it may cost me my life.

Little maid.

She is Princess Consort Jin.

Can we talk another day?

I'm...

No.

Your problem couldn't be more urgent than mine.

If you leave now,

I will have Gu Zhen tie you up and bring you back.

Your new place is nice.

I'm here to ask you a question.

Are you familiar with Zhong Li?

No.

Stop lying.

What does Zhong Li like?

What's your intention?

I'll head back to Nanyu next month.

I want to give him some trinkets

before leaving,

so he won't forget me.

You are leaving?

Prince Yu gave me a fief.

I have wasted much time here.

It's time to go back.

I thought...

I know.

You thought I admired Prince Yu.

That's just an expedient

Prince Yu and I contrived.

He did it

to protect you.

He used me as a cover.

And I needed him to back me up.

This way, I can do whatever I want

after going back to Nanyu.

Besides,

Prince Yu is used to flattery.

His temper is capricious.

I can't stand him.

Zhong Li is much more interesting.

But I can't stay with him for long.

He treated you well for me?

Yeah.

You made serious trouble earlier.

If I hadn't shielded you from the inflamed people,

you would have been punished severely.

You don't know any of that?

No wonder you are marrying Prince Jin.

Are you mad at Prince Yu?

Prince Jin is shrewd and capricious.

He tends to act

like he is openhearted.

In no way can he compare with Prince Yu.

Prince Yu bestowed marriage on me.

I can't say no.

You two clearly admire each other.

But you torture yourselves to protect your pride.

To answer the call of the nation,

our feelings don't matter.

Even though I wish

him everlasting peace,

he wouldn't give me another chance.

You people of the Central Plains are troublesome.

I don't understand you.

If you really love him,

you should just tell him.

There's no need to make guesses

and push each other farther away.

Forget about it.

Enough with him.

Let's talk about Zhong Li.

What exactly does Zhong Li like?

I can tell you.

But you have to help me in return.

Okay. It's a deal.

He is always cold.

He only cares about Prince Yu and weapons.

He likes weapons?

Blades? Swords? Spears? Halberds?

Your Highness,

I'm watched by a lot of people in the mansion.

It's inconvenient for me to make any move.

Can you please fetch something for me?
