=Episode 15=

Your Majesty,

I beg you to uphold justice!

I'm just a princess for peace-making marriage,

and I'm grateful for your favor.

But now they're humiliating me like this.

They're disrespecting you, Your Majesty!

She had the guts to falsely accuse me.

I'm sure someone ordered her to do this

to disrupt Qi-Wei relations.

What an exquisite human skin mask.

She even severed a finger

just to impersonate Yilan.

Only the Shadow Palace could've done this.

Guardian Duke,

I've never offended you.

Why do you have to frame me?

Your Majesty,

I beg you to uphold justice!

Father,

she's a disguise master.

I believe that Guardian Duke

must've been so concerned about your safety

that he was deceived.

Enough!

This is ridiculous!

With a small trick,

you nearly sparked a war between Qi and Wei again.

Guardian Duke,

is this all you've got?

You'd better retire early and return home!

I've realized my sins.

I can't believe the Shadow Palace

has infiltrated my court.

Shiqi, we can't escape.

We can't escape...

Your Highness!

Your Highness, your wound isn't severe.

But why is there such poison inside your body?

This is the Ink Poison.

It's really strong.

(Nanny Tong, Maid of Late Queen)

I'm not confident about making the antidote.

Are you sure

you'll test it yourself?

I've agreed.

How can I back out?

Aren't you afraid I conspired with the Crown Prince?

If you die,

the Crown Prince will no longer have enemies.

The late queen's death was strange.

After that, you voluntarily went to the cold palace.

He tried to visit you many times.

To avoid him,

you even poisoned yourself.

I believe you.

And I believe

you don't want the Crown Prince to make more mistakes.

This...

No one can know this,

especially

my mother.

Aye, aye.

Ming'en, go.

Find Nanny Tong!

Aye.

Your Highness.

I'm warning you.

Stay away from Shao.

If you have any conscience,

you should keep your distance from him.

Only then will Shao be safe.

Let's go.

Your Highness, congratulations on your rebirth.

From now on,

you'll be Princess Abi Ya.

I prepared a gift for you.

I hope you like it.

Are you sure you won't open it?

After all, this is

Yilan's stuff.

Why is it broken?

You ruined it yourself.

What a pity.

I made a lot of effort

to rip off the skin intact.

You were dear sisters.

I believe her face can

keep you company and comfort you

in the lonely palace.

I will kill you.

I'll do it myself!

Don't you remember?

Now you're Abi Ya, the prestigious Consort Wei.

Don't demean yourself.

Counting the days,

I think the poison inside you is about to take effect.

I'll be waiting for you to beg me!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

here's the new antidote.

However, you've tried too many antidotes

and got severe internal injuries.

If we fail this time...

It's okay.

Let's try it.

Aye.

Your Highness!

Only by sharing her pain

can I understand her struggle!

I think the poison inside you is about to take effect.

I'll be waiting for you to beg me!

Ouyang Heng,

you won't control me again!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

you only spat part of the poisonous blood.

It isn't strong enough

to cure the poison.

Okay, keep making the antidote.

Ming'en...

Don't...

Don't tell Her Highness...

Come in.

Your Highness!

It's over.

That's good.

Well...

Ming'en also said

the Fifth Prince's blade injury

was not serious.

Help me get changed.

Your Highness,

how are you feeling?

The poison is suppressed for now.

I'm fine.

What's the matter?

The prisoner from the Shadow Palace

hit the wall and died this morning.

Forget it.

The Ink Poison causes extreme pain.

Death would be a relief.

But she...

You may leave now.

Aye.

Why didn't you come inside?

The moon is so beautiful tonight.

Do you want to enjoy it with me?

By the way,

how is your injury?

I'm fine.

No Crown Prince's eyes here.

So?

So...

Stop pulling me,

or my wound will open.

It really hurts.

Sprout,

have you thought about

what kind of life you want?

I wouldn't dare to think.

Since I was born,

it seems none of my wishes have ever come true.

Gradually,

I stopped making wishes.

If fates treat you unjustly,

I'll stay by your side.

Because I believe

we can overcome fate.

Okay.

It's getting late. I should head back.

You should also rest early.

Sprout,

I've loved you for a long time.

For the rest of my life,

I want to

stay with you

and grow old with you.

Okay?
