[Follow Your Heart]

[Episode 34]

[Shanli Hall]

You're leaving?

I shouldn't stay here anymore.

Didn't you say

you belong to me?

Yes.

I belong to Suoluo.

But you've never said

that you belong to me.

Suoluo.

Hurry up and hide.

Suoluo.

Why are you here?

The wedding dress is ready.

I specially brought it for you

to try on.

It's delivered. You can go back now.

Suoluo,

There's no servant in your mansion.

It's heavy.

Let me carry it for you.

I can do it myself.

You...

Yan Biqing, this is my room.

Perfect timing.

I happen to want to see your boudoir.

Let me bring it in for you.

You...

We're engaged.

Is there anything inconvenient?

Please leave.

Do you like it?

I told you to leave.

Didn't you hear me?

Suoluo,

we'll be together for a lifetime.

You have to learn to accept me.

A lifetime?

You're so confident, aren't you?

Do you want to call off the engagement?

This marriage was personally bestowed

by the Empress.

If you do this,

wouldn't it disappoint

Her Majesty?

And His Majesty

won't let

the Jiang family off easily.

Suoluo,

I know

you're resentful.

In the future,

I will make it up to you.

I will allow you

to do whatever you want

in this marriage.

Get lost!

Remember to change your clothes.

Don't pick it up.

Chancellor.

♫Branches bare as flowers fall off♫

♫Akin to how I can't stay in your heart♫

The Imperial Academy exams are approaching.

And it's very busy in Blossom Beauty.

From now on,

♫When will I dare♫

I won't come to your residence

to work part-time.

♫To get closer♫

♫Hold onto your sleeves tightly and resolutely♫

♫Same dream and person in front of me♫

♫Abrupt ending on the cusp of fruition♫

Well, leave then.

♫I'm left behind♫

From tomorrow on,

♫No traces of you♫

you don't need to come back.

♫Where are you?♫

♫I can't find you amidst my yearning♫

Thank you,

♫Missing you day and night♫

chancellor.

♫My heart has become cold♫

♫Without rest♫

♫Tears keep flowing♫

♫Missing you left and right♫

♫Our past is eternal♫

♫All my time♫

♫Is for you♫

♫Past, present, and future♫

♫Missing you day and night♫

♫My heart has become cold♫

♫It doesn't matter♫

♫I'm willing to give all I have♫

♫It'll never end♫

♫Missing you left and right♫

♫Our past is eternal♫

♫All my time♫

♫Is for you♫

♫Past, present, and future♫

Biqing,

didn't you go to send the wedding dress

to Suoluo?

Why did you come back with such a gloomy face?

Dad,

there was a man hidden in Suoluo's room.

You should be happy about it.

Happy?

My fiancée

is hiding a boy toy in her room.

And he's a student in our Imperial Academy

who is a slave.

You know

that man?

Yes! And I'm familiar with him.

That's even better.

I...

Now that you have got a hold

over Jiang Suoluo,

make good use of this

and make her obediently marry you.

Dad,

you don't understand Suoluo.

She

is strong-willed.

She could do something

unexpected.

Being too rigid makes one vulnerable.

Flexibility is the key to survival.

No matter how strong-willed she is,

would she openly reject the Empress's

designated marriage?

Would she risk implicating

the Jiang family?

Dad, you're right.

No matter how willful Suoluo is,

she still has to think about her family.

Take advantage of her feeling guilty

and find an excuse

to send that man away.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future

to get rid of him.

He's just a slave.

Killing him

will be as simple

as crushing an ant.

The most crucial thing now

is for you two

to get married as soon as possible,

to avoid more troubles in the long run.

I understand.

[Peace Reigns]

I heard that recently,

there's a County Princess Zhouyang who has been trying

to run into you all over the capital.

You are quite lucky.

Please spare me.

I also heard

that the Empress will host

a banquet in the Imperial Garden tomorrow

to match you with County Princess Zhouyang.

Will you go?

I will.

You will?

I'll go so I can reject her.

In that case,

I can help you.

Help me?

What can you help me with?

[Jinwu Guards]

Shang looks

more handsome than usual.

He does?

He's just not wearing his uniform today

and is wearing his regular clothes.

But I haven't seen him

in regular clothes for a long time.

As long as you're willing,

you can see it every day.

Why are you here?

Take a guess.

Greetings,

Your Majesty.

Greetings, Commander Shang.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Today, it can be considered

that I invited you two young people

who have mutual affection

to have a gathering.

Commander Shang, don't stand on ceremony.

Please, take a seat.

Yes.

I'm tired.

I'm going back to take a nap.

Commander Shang,

County Princess Zhouyang is a master of the qin.

Don't let her kindness

go to waste.

Your Majesty,

I have something to discuss

about Suoluo.

Today, there's nothing

more important than accompanying

County Princess Zhouyang.

Other things

can wait for another time.

Yes.

Commander Shang, please.

Take care.

Thank you.

You're here.

Where is Sai'er?

Sai'er?

You are looking for Sai'er?

I'm looking for her to talk about

something related to Shang Bieli.

Shang Bieli?

Mr. Jiang.

Boss.

You're looking for me?

Yes.

I'm looking for you.

Are you saying Shang Bieli is going on...

...a blind date?

I didn't know

It turns out he dressed so nicely today

for a blind date.

Mr. Jiang,

will...

Will Shang

be interested in County Princess Zhouyang?

I heard that County Princess Zhouyang

has been admiring Commander Shang for a long time.

Moreover,

the Empress intends to match them.

I really can't think of any reason

why Commander Shang would refuse her.

Well,

it's most likely that they'll be together.

Looks like he's getting married.

Wait.

Weren't we just talking about

a blind date?

How did it suddenly become a wedding?

Things have changed.

Right.

Since this is a blind date,

if it works, they will be together.

Yes.

And the Empress strongly supports the match.

It's difficult to defy imperial orders.

It's a tough nut to crack.

It's such a big matter,

and he didn't even tell me.

That's impossible.

He told me things.

He said he couldn't find you recently.

I...

I can't explain it to you guys.

If you can't explain it to us,

just explain it to him.

Yes.

If you don't explain,

he won't understand.

Go now.

Go find him.

It's too late.

It's all too late.

Sai'er.

Don't chase her.

Shang Bielie will find her.

No matter how it unfolds,

I believe in the end,

they will surely understand

each other's feelings.

However...

Given Commander Shang's personality,

if he doesn't like the girl,

he wouldn't have gone there, right?

I think Shang Bieli

planned to take this opportunity to enter the palace

to see if he can plead for Suoluo

and postpone the wedding.

What?

I see.

You guys continue.

I'll get back to work.

Okay.

Get back to work.

Why did you bring that up?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You are such a failure

as an older brother.

What?

How...

How am I a failure?

Commander Shang,

I…

Your Highness,

please listen to me.

You are beautiful and intelligent.

You will definitely find a good match.

Am I not good enough?

No.

It's my problem.

What problem?

I have already set my heart on someone.

But before,

I never heard

that you were engaged.

We're not engaged.

And there's no commitment between us.

Does she...

have feelings for you?

Does she know

that you have feelings for her?

Then why didn't you tell her?

She calls herself a country girl.

She feels she doesn't deserve me.

But it's actually me who doesn't deserve her.

I often ask myself:

She's so pure and kind-hearted.

will she accept the real me?

Will I hurt her?

So, are you just going to

give her up to someone else?

No.

In the days apart from her,

I have thought it through.

Although I have many shortcomings,

I still want to be good to her,

protect her,

take care of her,

become better for her,

and make her

the happiest girl in the world.

It seems

I really have no chance.

Commander Shang,

I have a request.

Can you let me

tell the Empress about this?

I will say

that it was me who rejected you.

After all,

it is very embarrassing

for a girl to be rejected by a man.

Of course.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Please tell that girl

that she

is very enviable.

What are you waiting for?

Go find her.

Go tell her.

Tell her your feelings.

Go.

Go now!

Thank you.

Take care.

Please come again.

Where is Sai'er?

I need to make it clear with her.

She's not here.

She heard from Mr. Jiang

that you were going to the palace for a blind date,

and she ran out.

What nonsense did Jiang Xinbai say?

Where did Sai'er go?

Sai'er...

Just now, she was

repeatedly mumbling

"Shang is gone."

And

I saw her crying very sadly.

She might

have gone back to Miaojiang.

Sai'er.

Sai'er!

Sai'er!

Where are you going?

Why did you come to me?

Aren't you supposed to

go on a blind date with someone else?

Let me explain!

No!

Sai'er!

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Did you get hurt?

Why are you avoiding me?

I'm not avoiding you.

Is it because

you don't want me to marry someone else?

Yes.

I don't.

Is it because you like me too?

But you are my brother.

I...

I've never wanted to be your brother.

From the day we became sworn brother and sister,

I've been very reluctant.

At first, I didn't understand why.

But later I realized

it was because I like you.

I want to be with you forever.

This is the third piece of peach wood.

It's a bit hot.

Would you like to try mine?

Is it good?

Try mine.

Pretty good.

By the way.

County Princess Zhouyang

asked me to deliver a message to you.

What?

Are you jealous?

I dare not.

She is County Princess Zhouyang.

So what?

Our Tong Sai'er

is one of the bosses

of Blossom Beauty.

You are not worse than anyone.

You're right.

But

I still don't want to hear what she said.

You don't want to hear it?

Fine, don't listen.

What a pity.

You...

Alright then.

Go ahead and tell me.

But I must warn you,

if I get upset

and say something unpleasant,

you must also relay that to her.

You still allow me to see her?

You...

Alright.

I won't see her.

I was just kidding.

She said

she envies you.

What does she envy about me?

Probably that you

have a brave and mighty

yet thoughtful and caring

commander-in-chief

by your side.

Fine.

Let her envy then.

I've suffered a lot

because of her.

Letting her envy a bit doesn't hurt.

But

I really should thank her.

If she hadn't made me realize it,

I probably wouldn't have confessed to you

so soon.

What...

did she say to you?

She told me

to express my feelings to you quickly.

Sai'er,

during the time without you,

I always felt like something was missing.

It seems that no one but you

can bring me that feeling

of happiness,

comfort,

and joy.

♫Sit with you at night and listen to the wind♫

Look at you.

You're pretty, smart,

♫When the wind flutters, the heart does too♫

cute, and clever

♫Step by step, no words are spoken♫

I'm so afraid you'll run away with someone else.

♫Barged into sight♫

♫When did your figure grow hazy?♫

I'm not that good.

♫And how clear is it?♫

Sai'er.

♫I don't intend to break your heart♫

You...

♫Silently fall into my arms♫

are the best girl in the world.

♫How to put it into words?♫

♫We're soul mates♫

We should not only be the ones

who love each other the most,

♫Only after I met you♫

but we should also

be the closest to each other.

♫Did I know true love existed♫

♫The world is ever-changing♫

♫We still remember♫

The closest.

♫To be the stars♫

As close as Boss and Ruoqian.

♫That light up each other's worlds♫

♫Don’t fear the night as dark as ink♫

♫Just take up your pen and sketch♫

♫You and I, recognizing each other with our hearts♫

Can we be

♫Waiting for you in the blooming splendor♫

just a little bit closer?

♫To pick the colors of spring for me♫

♫Waiting for the starry sky♫

♫To offer your dreams to me♫

Sure.

Closer.

♫No matter how unfamiliar the road is♫

♫As long as we are connected♫

♫I'm willing to be with you♫

♫Waiting for you in the blooming splendor♫

♫To pick the colors of spring for me♫

Sai'er.

♫Waiting for the starry sky♫

♫To offer your dreams to me♫

Can I...

No

♫I invite you♫

I haven't said it yet.

♫To hold a place in my heart♫

My answer will still be no.

♫Stay together forever♫

Fine.

I won't say it.

[Fanhou Street]

The nearest neighborhood to the East City Gate

has a distillery,

a tea shop,

a dried fruit shop,

a pepper and bamboo shoot store,

and an herbal medicine shop.

These can all be used

for cover and transit.

In case Blossom Beauty is really being investigated,

we won't be caught unprepared.

If even Blossom Beauty

can be found,

can't Jiang Xinbai

find these places?

Are you saying

we must use Blossom Beauty?

Well,

if Blossom Beauty really becomes a target,

what should we do?

We'll disperse and evacuate outside the capital.

If that really happens,

what about Yan Nanxing?

She’s mine.

I see.

This time you came to the capital,

your first goal is to do business with me,

and your second goal

is to take Yan Nanxing away.

Wrong.

My first goal

is to take my girl away,

and my second goal

is to do business with you.

I didn't expect you,

Chief Bai, to be a hopeless romantic.

It's just that your way of loving someone

is somewhat unusual.

Those who don't know the truth

might think

you want to kill her.

Whether it's in

business or love, I am someone

who likes to leave no stone unturned.

[Blossom Beauty]

Why are you here?

I'm here to pick you up for a meal.

You're taking me to a meal out of nowhere?

What are you up to?

Yan Nanxing,

it seems like...

you haven't transformed in a long time.

Yes.

The last full moon was when we were in Tingzhou...

Really!

It's so weird.

Could it be...

that...

you're pregnant?

Yes.

Yes, you are talking nonsense.

I'm serious.

Think about it.

Since we consummated our marriage,

you haven't transformed at all.

If that's the case,

does it mean...

I won't transform anymore?

What's wrong?

Wait a minute.

Yan Nanxing...

Wait a minute!

Yan Nanxing!

Are you feeling dizzy,

or do you want to vomit?

Am I...

Am I really

going to be a father?

Yan Nanxing!

Open the door!

Yan Nanxing!

I'm here.

Whose father

did you just say you wanted to be?

Yan Nanxing?

You...

You transformed again?

I don't know.

It's okay.

Let's go.

I'll take you to get changed.

I'll do it myself.

You...

I'm done.

Let me see.

I'm telling you.

Luckily, it's me.

If it were Bai Yuan,

-you would have... -Jiang Xinbai.

An illegitimate child?

A legitimate child.

He's my and Yan Nanxing's child.

Your child is already this old?

Where is Yan Nanxing?

In the next few days,

you won't be able to see her.

Jiang Xinbai,

I want you to know something.

No matter whether you two are husband and wife,

she will be mine.

Chief Bai, you truly deserve your reputation.

Whether in Tingzhou

or in the capital,

you're so arrogant,

trampling on societal norms.

But indeed,

there must be many girls

who like a man like you, right?

So,

I will definitely win her over.

Win?

Just by using this word,

it shows

that you don't understand Yan Nanxing at all.

Based on that alone,

you've already lost.

Chief Bai,

I remember

when we parted in Tingzhou,

I warned you

that our meeting again

wouldn't be a good thing.

Hopefully,

it won't come true.

Let's go.

[Restaurant]

Here, eat.

Eat more.

The way you just spoke to Bai Yuan

sounded like,

apart from warning him

to stay away from me,

you had other intentions.

There's no evidence yet.

Let's not talk about this for now.

Eat.

Alright.

I'm not trying to hide it from you.

It's just that I don't want you to think

I'm using my subjective judgment

to slander your friend.

About what?

To be honest,

of course I hope he

stays far away from you.

But I'd rather he came to the capital

to pester you

than have any

other intentions.

I hope I'm just being overly cautious.

What exactly do you suspect him of?

Besides,

you don't need to be jealous at all.

Whether it's now or in the future,

nothing will happen between us.

Xinbai?

Xinbai, what's wrong? Xinbai?

Nothing.

I suddenly remembered

the Inspection Office still has

some official business that needs me to deal with.

It's okay.

I can go home by myself later

when I'm done.

I'm worried about you being alone.

I need to find someone to take care of you.

Who are you going to find?

Xinbai, you want me to take care of a kid?

Suoluo,

he is the child of my subordinates.

Both of his parents have gone out of the capital

to handle things for me.

So I want to ask you

to help me take care of him.

It will be just for a day.

Just for tomorrow.

Could...

Could this child

be your...

illegitimate child?

She said...

She said you're my illegitimate child.

Do we...

Do we look alike?

Why do you think so?

Firstly,

you absolutely wouldn't be

concerned so much

about a subordinate's matter.

Secondly,

if you need someone to take care of a child,

you should go to Yan Nanxing.

Well,

she can be friends with anyone

from 8 years old

to 80 years old, right?

Why did you come to me?

Yan Nanxing has also gone

to handle things for me.

Are you willing to let her labor for you?

Please, Suoluo.

This kid must be related to you.

-Just stay here and don't leave. -If Yan Nanxing finds out

that I'm hiding your illegitimate child,

she will tear down

this house of mine.

She might even tear down the entire Yuejiang's Residence...

Where is he?

Sister,

I'm not an illegitimate child.

Also,

your sister-in-law is beautiful and kind.

She won't tear your house down.

I haven't said yes.

Your Grace,

you suffered a head injury a few years ago.

It not only led to face blindness

but also to other symptoms.

Yes.

You've mentioned this before.

Now,

it is being confirmed.

As time goes by,

these symptoms

will gradually manifest.

For instance?

For instance, your senses may decline,

especially hearing and vision.

There's also a possibility

of blindness and deafness.

Your Grace,

have you made a decision

on the treatment plan

I mentioned before?

No.

Absolutely not.

Your life would be in danger.

Your Grace, please think it through.

Physician,

please

keep this confidential

from my mother for now.
