[Unique Lady 2]

[Episode 18]

I will take good care of Miss.

Prince, I'm going to pack now.

Let Xiao Yu go.

Xi Que, you go rest early.

Yes, Miss.

Yes, Consort.

Then... what's your plan for now?

I'm afraid Qiyu might also be involved in it.

Far from the palace, the Royal Ancestral Temple is a good place for easy escape and transfer.

It provides a good chance for them.

But it's also our best chance to rescue His Majesty.

I do not care.

You promised me to never leave me alone again.

You must come back safely.

Xiao Jing, I still owe you a wedding.

You still owe me a child.

How could I let anything bad happen to myself?

♫ Love will never die in this life ♫

♫ And the heart will not change ♫

♫ As we wish to be together like lover birds on a branch

You come so late.

Aren't you afraid of being seen by others?

She sent us away.

We're safe.

I've made things ready for the Sacrificial Offering Ceremony.

Please be rest assured.

Good.

I've been waiting for so long.

At last, I'm about to get what I want.

I really can't wait anymore.

But what worries me is

that you never get anything wrong because of your young master.

It was you who saved me at my worst.

Of course, I know who to serve.

Even if she's kind to me,

I will never betray you.

I believe you will definitely get what you want.

Zhong Wumei.

[Qin Ci]

[Royal Ancestral Temple]

Eunuch Su, where's His Majesty?

His Majesty is sick today.

The little prince is with him in thepPalace.

The Sacrificial Offering Ceremony today will be presided over by me on his behalf.

It's the Sacrificial Offering Ceremony today.

We have to discuss with His Majesty about designating a crown prince, but...

Since His Majesty sent Eunuch Su to come and preside over it,

he must be slightly indisposed.

We should follow the orders.

What Prince Jingyuan said is extremely true.

Royal Brother didn't show up.

It seems that Jin Chen has taken precautions.

The good news is that I've told Zhang Ji to divide the force into two teams,

one heading to the secret passage.

I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today.

I wonder if you heard any rumors lately

about the mystery of the birth of Prince Yuanzheng?

How about we make it clear before the ceremony?

Facing the heavens and the earth, facing the ancestors,

let's make a fair judgment.

What do you think?

- I agree. - I agree.

Yes, Brother Prince,

with the heavens above, the earth below,

whoever is up to some tricks will expose himself to us.

His Majesty is slightly indisposed.

Now it's urgent to designate a crown prince.

You are the only biological brother of His Majesty.

If there's any falsity in your blood or identity,

the world will descend into chaos.

Prince Jingyuan,

what makes you so convinced that I have no royal blood?

How dare you spread the rumors

and talk nonsense in this Royal Ancestral Temple?

Besides, don't you smell a rat in the matter?

Why does the rumor appear at this very moment?

Does it?

But as far as I know,

the rumor didn't come out just recently.

It came out more than twenty years ago.

Wumei, I know Royal Brother has always been protective of you,

forbidding people to mention it.

But we're designating the crown prince,

while the rumors spreading all over.

It's about the security of Shengjing.

If there's any bug in your identity,

how dare we hand over Shengjing to you?

And how can you make us all submit to you?

- Yes. - Yes, Prince Jingyuan is right.

It's about the royal blood.

Then what should I do

to clear up your uncertainties, you chancelleries?

Prince Jingyuan, do you have any good suggestions?

According to the dossiers,

the crystal bead guarding the royal family of Shengjing

- only shines in the hands of the members... of the Zhong's family. - I knew it.

How about we let him take out the crystal bead

to see if he can turn it on.

That way, you naturally prove your identity. Do you not?

The crystal bead is the secret of Tianyi Clique.

At this moment,

shouldn't I have a blood test with Royal Brother to prove it?

What Prince Yuanzheng said is absolutely right.

But the ceremony has always been the mission of His Majesty.

But now His Majesty is unable to attend.

I sense it's not just that he's simply indisposed.

Eunuch Su,

where on earth is His Majesty?

This...

That's right!

His Majesty...

I'm afraid His Majesty has long been coerced to abdicate.

- What? - It's...

Why does Prince Jingyuan say so?

As far as I'm concerned,

Prince Yuanzheng secretly met His Majesty yesterday.

Was he trying to obstruct the designation of the crown prince?

It's hard to say.

Jin Chen, how dare you bite back?

- Officer Liu. - Yes.

You assisted the late emperor for years.

Have you heard anything about the birth of Prince Yuanzheng?

Well... The rumor that the late imperial concubine

got pregnant on a tour

was indeed known to all in the palace.

But the truth was nowhere to be verified.

None of the chancellors here today

has ever witnessed the birth of the prince.

Yes, none of us have ever witnessed.

How to verify it?

Everyone, Shengjing can't be without an emperor for a day.

Prince Yuanzheng, don't blame us for being impolite,

if you don't present His Majesty.

Yes, he's right.

How dare he!

Prince Yuanzheng, what do you want for taking away His Majesty?

Where is His Majesty? We need to see His Majesty.

- Yes, let us see His Majesty. - Let us see His Majesty.

- Present His Majesty! - Present His Majesty!

Let us see His Majesty.

Now that Royal Brother can't come in person,

is it enough to clear your doubts as long as we can prove

Prince Yuanzheng's blood blends with mine?

Who are you?

How dare you break into Sacrificial Offering Ceremony!

Who are you?

Who do you think I am?

- This is... - Is this?

Is she Princess Royal who has never been seen?

- Princess Royal? - Princess Changyuan.

It's Princess Changyuan.

Greet Princess Changyuan.

Long live Princess Changyuan.

Long live Princess Changyuan.

If we can prove Prince Yuanzheng's blood blends with Princess Royal's,

it indeed proves the identity of Prince Yuanzheng.

Miss.

Have you heard from Prince?

Zhang Ji said Prince Jingyuan might challenge Prince

for his birth in front of everyone.

I knew he would definitely do that.

Consort, now that blood is involved,

can we use a drop of blood to identify blood ties?

Yes.

They liked to use this method in ancient times.

But His Majesty is not there.

How to identify blood ties?

We can find Princess Ziyun, who has the same royal blood.

We only need to fetch her to Royal Ancestral Temple for the test,

and then we can prove the identity of Prince.

Good idea.

It happened that Ziyun wrote a few days ago

telling us that she had gotten news about Hua Hua.

And she said she'd be staying in Xijiao Hotel in the city today.

I think she's already there now.

- I'll go for her. - Sister-in-Law.

Why are you here?

It's Xiao Yu. She came to me early this morning.

Xiao Yu, you're really helpful.

Prince Jingyuan, don't worry.

Didn't you suggest it?

Then let's do it according to the procedure.

The ceremony has to be held as scheduled.

Am I right?

Fine.

Let's do what Consort said.

I'd bother you to fetch a basin of water.

Let's do the test.

Xi Que.

Prince Yuanzheng.

Princess Royal, will you?

- Blended. - Blended.

- That's right, blended. - It seems to be true.

Don't rush, everyone.

What's going on?

Blended again.

What's going on?

Girl, could it be that you did something to the water?

I took the water from the well and brought it over here.

I never did anything to the water.

Someone has added alum to the water.

It's a lie.

It seems someone did it on purpose.

Come on, frisk.

Stop.

Public frisk?

I'm afraid it's not so proper.

You master and servant are trying to cover it for him.

Does that acquiesce Zhong Wumei's identity?

Nonsense!

Miss, it's really not me.

Even if I'm worried about Prince being questioned,

I would never add something to the water.

Besides, I don't even know what alum is.

You brought up the method of using a drop of blood to identify blood ties.

Now you've added alum.

Are you trying to cover it up?

Xi Que is like a sister to me.

She's also loyal to the Zhong family.

Get up.

Even if she wants to help me, she'd never do such a thing.

How could you know things like alum?

Miss...

But someone else knows.

The one who added alum to the water in advance to frame us

is Xiao Yu.

I... I've never touched that basin of water.

Who took the basin of water here was Xi Que.

Hurry to report the source of this basin of water to the chancellors.

I did fetch the water by myself.

But on the way,

I planned to fetch it from the nearest west side hall,

but Xiao Yu suggested I fetch from the east side hall.

From beginning to end, I was the only one who touched the water.

Is that right, Xiao Yu?

Yes. I asked the guards.

They said all servants fetched water from the west side hall.

I was afraid the precipitation in the water would affect the result of the test.

So I suggested Xi Que to go to the east side hall.

What a coincidence.

You suggested yesterday that we use the method to recognize blood ties

and clear up the doubts on Prince.

Today, you asked Xi Que to go to another well

instead of the nearest well for water.

How do you explain it?

Consort, even so,

you can't say it's me who added the alum.

And lately, didn't you and Prince both suspect that Xi Que had been colluding with the enemies?

Does it have anything to do with me?

Me?

Colluding with the enemies?

Prince and I suspected Xi Que?

No one knows about it except Zhang Ji.

How did you know?

- I... - The one who misled us to believe

that Xi Que was the traitor was you.

The other day,

Xi Que did send a letter.

But it was a letter to her cousin

telling him to fetch some silver taels from Shengjing.

Zhang Ji made it clear.

It was you who wrote to Xi Que

to let her believe her father was seriously sick.

Then you instructed Xi Que to write back and send money,

and you took the envelope

and changed the content into something written in the Qiyu language.

What a trick.

Xi Que.

Xi Que took money from the accountant,

but the accountant of the manor only issues silver taels,

never a silver ticket.

But you said

Xi Que asked you to send a silver ticket for her.

Xiao Yu, you are always a careful girl.

How couldn't you notice the loopholes in it?

Consort, I just believed in Xi Que too much and didn't think about it.

What if Xi Que did get a silver ticket from someone?

That's impossible.

Xi Que never likes silver tickets

because she feels insecure.

Why can't I make it close?

Xi Que, what are you doing?

Put my silver away.

Why don't you exchange it for a silver ticket?

Doesn't it take up too much space?

Miss, you don't get it.

The silver is a real object.

You get the weight.

But the silver ticket is just a piece of paper.

What if it gets burned or immersed in water?

You have nothing by then.

I don't want that.

According to common sense,

Xi Que can't really be so stupid that she got the silver taels in the first minute,

but said she was going to send out silver tickets

in the next to fool herself.

So, the reason why you said Xi Que asked you to send the silver ticket

was obviously to validate your envelope play.

You made it up in a hurry, didn't you?

Consort, those are all your speculations.

You have no evidence.

Besides, why did I do it?

To win my trust was your purpose,

and to set Xi Que up was also your purpose.

Of course,

your ultimate purpose was to help the one behind you

to achieve the conspiracy of blood testing

and the setup using alum.

Consort, it was you who saved me in Nanyan.

I don't know why you doubt me like this.

The thing you don't know is actually when I began to doubt you.

Princess has the answer.

How did you know I had dinner with Liu Xiuwen?

Why would you believe I had an affair with him?

I happened to be walking in the manor that day.

Suddenly, I saw Xiao Yu in a cloak leaving in a hurry.

I was driven by curiosity to follow her and I saw you two.

Liu Xiuwen and I were just having dinner.

There's nothing between us, but you dressed like that.

It's clear that you were trying to attract attention

and let Ziyun see us so that we would fight over it.

Later on, a traitor showed up in the manor.

In the corner of Jiang's private kitchen,

the shoeprint of Xi Que

was also your deed, wasn't it?

I did as Consort ordered to follow Miss Xiao Yu secretly all the time.

Until that day, I saw Miss Xiao Yu leap out of the manor with her flying skill with my own eyes.

She cast lots of things into the well nearby.

The reason why you dared go out was that you believed

we would put the focus of doubt completely on Xi Que.

But you forgot, justice has long arms.

The wrongdoer will expose themselves sooner or later.

You also forgot,

there is not only doubt between people,

but also trust and affection.

Despite all the findings pointing to Xi Que,

from beginning to end,

I never gave up on her.

Miss...

Xiao Yu, what else do you want to say?

Miss, I was really worried about Prince

and worried that His Majesty would punish you.

That's all that I could do.

I'm really wronged.

Until now, the girl is still arguing.

It seems that if I don't lock you up,

it'll hard for us to know who is behind you.

Come, lock this girl up.

Wait!

Eunuch Su, why bother with the torture?

The one behind her is obvious enough.

He is Prince Jingyuan, Jin Chen.

This...

Prince Yuanzheng, you haven't cleared your suspicions yet.

Now you slander me?

We saved Xiao Yu in Nanyan.

Her identity was suspicious from the beginning.

I asked Zhang Ji to investigate a few days ago.

The paper she used in her forged letter

is only available in your Jingyuan Manor.

In the beginning, I suspected she was a spy who colluded with Qiyu.

So I kept an eye on her.

But since she entered the Royal Ancestral Temple,

she's been watching you consciously or unconsciously.

Speak out.

Who are you?

Why do you slander me?

You murdered my parents. I'll kill you.

Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu.

Why are you so silly?

I grew up in Qiyu since I was young.

My parents were both killed by the Jin family in Shengjing.

I wanted to take revenge on my parents.

But I didn't have the chance to get close to the royal family.

When I met Prince and Consort in Nanyan,

I knew you were the distinguished guests of Shengjing.

You took me in,

and I saw hope.

But now, God plans everything.

I failed to kill my enemy with my own hands in the end.

Consort, you are my benefactor.

It's all fated

that I have another vital benefactor.

It's just too late.

I'm willing to express my gratitude by my death.

You silly girl.

Why are you so silly?

I know...

I'm guilty.

I have to pay you back in the afterlife.

Xiao Yu, I'll never forget you as a loyal servant.

May you rest in peace.

♫ Did you remember me in my heart? ♫

I love you.

♫ Scattered dust but no hate ♫

♫ I only hope that the afterlife is deeply rooted ♫

♫ You speak lightly, I'm serious ♫

Xiao Yu.

♫ You look back and face my whole life ♫

How touching.

Consort, you are so smart and witty

to see through the traitor around you step by step.

That's really remarkable.

But I never expected that the maid by your side

turned out to be a traitor from Qiyu.

All right, let it go.

Let's talk about the identification of blood ties.

Since you can do something with the blood test,

what about the identity of Princess Royal?

Could you also do something with it?

Nonsense!

This is exactly the crystal bead.

The treasure only shines in the hands of members of the Zhong family.

With this, isn't it enough to prove my identity?

Who knows if the bead is real or not?

Why don't we also have a test?

Fine. I will turn it on in front of everyone now

to prove the identity of both of us.

Ziyun.

No!

Stop it.

Do it.

When the bead goes in the air,

it will be easy for me to grab it.

Ziyun!

Wait!

You can't do it.

Long live His Majesty.

I can prove the relationship between Ziyun and Wumei.

Why bother with the crystal bead?

Chen, we meet again.

Master, you are here.

Master?

Xiao Hua Hua?

The Patriarch of Tianyi Clique and His Majesty of Shengjing were old friends.

So Tianyi Clique has guarded Shengjing for hundreds of years.

As the Elder Cang Jian,

I have to fulfill our promise to protect Shengjing.

Chen'er, your men have been taken by the imperial guards recalled by Wumei.

I suggest you give up struggling.

Royal Brother, since you insist on taking sides to protect Zhong Wumei,

I dare not say anything.

Nonsense!

If it weren't for Elder Cang Jian and the imperial guards who rescued me,

I'm afraid you were going to shut out the heavens with one palm.

Prince Jingyuan imprisoned me in a secret passage of the palace.

He's unforgivable for his grave crime of treason.

Zhang Ji!

Royal Brother.

Ziyun, I've not seen you in over ten years, you've grown taller.

Sure, I've not seen you for so many years,

I heard that you've been sick recently.

You need more rest, okay?

Okay, I'll do what you say.

Consort Yuanzheng, I heard again that you solved the case by yourself.

And every time, you worked with Wumei at critical moments,

to solve my great concerns.

Wumei, it's your blessing.

Take good care of Xiao Jing from now on.

Of course, I'm the heroine.

Thank you for your appreciation, His Majesty.

Royal Brother, I will definitely love Xiao Jing more.

By the way, this time,

it's not only imperial guards recalled by Wumei,

but also this Elder Hua. Thank you.

Master, you are so handsome.

I mean thank you for saving Royal Brother.

It is the duty of Tianyi Clique to protect Shengjing.

You don't have to thank me.

Xiao Hua...

Elder Hua,

may I ask how you rescued His Majesty?

The stone pillars in the secret passage

were built up by Tianyi Clique for the Zhong family in Shengjing.

Jin Chen locked His Majesty up in the secret passage.

On the contrary, it offered His Majesty the chance to ask for help.

I see.

It's finally over now.

Eunuch Su, handle the matter today properly.

Yes.

I'll have to bother Wumei more with the affairs

of the imperial government in the future.

And you also have to assist little prince to grow up fast.

As you wish, Royal Brother.

On guard!

Someone broke in to rescue Prince Jingyuan.

Elder Hua, protect Royal Brother.

Xiao Jing, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Xiao Jing, long time no see.

Are you really Xiao Hua Hua?

As I said, any time you are in danger, I'm here for you.

Great!

You are still alive.

So the one who saved me in the street in Shengjing was also you. Right?

But... what happened to your face?

It's a long story.

To wake me up, the Head fed me the Reviving Pellet.

It has magical powers, but it also changes the appearance.

But that's also fine.

It offers me lots of conveniences.

I'm sorry, Xiao Jing.

I didn't have a chance to tell you about it.

You don't need to say sorry.

I'm so happy that you are alive.

Xiao Hua Hua, you've no idea how terrible I felt.

At that time, for me, you...

I don't know how to address you, Xiao Hua Hua or Senior?

It doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is for you to remember,

I will protect you as I did wherever you are.

For so many times,

I didn't recognize you when you were around.

So good you are back now.

Xiao Hua Hua, as long as you are here,

I feel safe.

Xiao Jing, does Zhong Wumei treat you well?

He treats me very well.

That's good.

Elder Hua has repeatedly helped my Zhong family.

I feel really grateful.

Prince Yuanzheng, it's not necessary.

Protecting Shengjing has always been the responsibility of our Tianyi Clique.

Last time, when Beiyu used poison,

if it weren't for Elder Hua's reminder in advance,

I am afraid I couldn't have made it out even now.

Xiao Hua Hua also informed you

of the fact that Wen Ruyu poisoned you?

Xiao Hua Hua?

Yes.

He is actually the Xiao Hua Hua who I often mentioned to you.

Yes,

he is indeed Xiao Hua Hua.

Do you remember anything?

Barbarian. Rogue.

Not as good as a finger of Xiao Hua Hua.

Zhang Ji, after returning home,

get rid of all the flowers in the back garden.

And also, throw away all the cosmos Royal Brother sent over a few days ago.

Poor little flowers in the backyard.

The King of Jealousy, the sign of disaster.

My Consort, what are you talking about?

And also on the day of the beauty contest at Wen Xiang Lou,

it was Xiao Hua Hua who saved me to the bamboo hut.

The next day, someone broke in and said

- I was dating a man. - My Consort.

- And you also said... - Stop it.
