Original subtitles

You became the Prime Minister at a young age,

with immense power.

Truly impressive.

But you got injured in battle,

in a sensitive spot.

What a pity.

You're like a rootless duckweed.

I should call you Lord Duckweed.

You're blocking the light.

This area is off-limits.

My Lord,

Miss Jinzhu from the General's Mansion

insists on coming in.

Mr. Lou,

I have something important to discuss.

This is Qingxiao Pavilion,

a place for leisure and entertainment,

not for official matters.

His Majesty wishes to arrange a marriage between you and Prince Ning.

With your current situation,

it might not be appropriate.

Lou Siyi,

I want you

to marry me.

Do you know I'm injured

and can't consummate the marriage?

I know.

Do you know

I'm Prince Ning's uncle?

If you marry him,

you'll be my niece-in-law.

I know.

Do you know

we're political rivals?

In the future,

we'll be enemies.

I...

I know.

Then why should I do this?

Because only by marrying you

can we change our doomed fate.

What fate do I have?

Everything you desire and love

is unattainable.

Who gave you the audacity

to predict my fate?

Because both you and I

are supporting characters in this story.

Our ending

is already determined.

We

are just characters in a story.

And I

have already seen my ending.

I'll marry Prince Ning as his wife.

By imperial decree.

Is this not a great honor?

By imperial decree.

Since meeting Your Highness in the palace,

I have been fond of you.

In this life,

I'll only depend on you.

How shameless!

This is the wedding wine from His Majesty.

My father wants me to marry you,

and I have to obey.

But you should know,

only the woman I truly love

is qualified to be my wife.

You

don't deserve it.

Your Highness,

Without the wedding wine,

the wedding is not valid.

I'm here on the Empress's order.

I must see the wedding finished.

My dear Prime Minister.

A remarried Empress,

and a disabled Prime Minister,

are not qualified to sit in my hall.

You mean

you're going to defy the order?

Lou Siyi.

Please drink the wedding wine.

Your Highness,

I've already administered the drug.

What are you looking at?

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Don't waste time here.

Everyone is waiting for you.

Where are the characters?

Wealth and honor,

did you see it?

There were characters just now.

Young lady, what characters?

Didn't you see it?

Didn't you see it?

The words just now.

Your Highness,

Miss Luo is leaving.

What?

This...

Young lady.

Young lady.

Young lady.

This wine

really has a problem.

Your Highness, everything is ready.

Although Jin Zhu is from the Residence of the General Who Assists the State,

her father and brother have been guarding the border for over forty years.

They have no power in Jingdu.

I'm the Princess of Great Chu.

Only I

am qualified to be the wife of Nan Zhi.

You're right.

Moreover,

Miss Jin dares to be unfaithful

on her wedding night

and have an affair with another man.

She's unworthy of being Princess Consort Ning.

The lover is already prepared.

Place him on Jin Zhu's bed later.

[No matter how eloquent she is,]

Adultery.

[how can she prove her innocence]

[when she is killed by Prince Ning?]

This...

Is this some kind of prophecy?

Hurry up.

Take that lover inside now.

Yes.

Princess, there seems to be something in the room.

Go in and check.

-Hurry up. -Yes.

Hurry up.

Where is the person?

What are you waiting for?

Go after them.

Luo Li.

Luo Li.

Luo Li.

Luo Li.

Do you know I only want to marry you?

Luoli, can you not leave?

Brother Nan Zhi.

Brother Nan Zhi.

I lost my Imperial Jade Token.

Can I search your mansion?

Don't bother me with such a trivial matter.

Now you can search without making a noise.

Search.

Find her before Nan Zhi

finds her.

Go.

Yes.

Where could she go?

This is Prince Ning's mansion.

Who could she turn to for help?

As you expected,

Princess Jingyun used the stolen Huanhuan Dew

to frame Princess Consort Ning.

I specifically requested to attend the ceremony

to ensure this spectacle unfolds as planned.

Once the Princess Consort is humiliated,

the General's Residence will turn against Prince Ning.

The military strength of the Residence

will not fall into Prince Ning's hands.

I wonder if the Princess Consort

can survive the humiliation.

If she dies,

the play

will be more interesting.

You two, follow me.

Hurry.

Who is it?

Please help me.

Princess Consort Ning, you are in such a good mood.

On your wedding night, you are naked

and broke into my room.

Are you trying to

sabotage me for Prince Ning,

willing to sacrifice your reputation

to frame me?

But I'm unable to perform.

Such a foolish tactic.

You're lying!

I'm not

physically impaired.

I'm not interested in the power struggle.

It's because Princess Jingyun loves Prince Ning,

so she set this up to frame me.

If you help me get out of this,

I'll tell you

how I learned this secret.

How can I trust you?

You hold the highest position

and control the Six Ministries.

Yet even with such power,

you pretend to be incapable,

hiding your true abilities.

You must have other plans.

So,

whether you trust me or not is irrelevant.

What matters is

whether you dare to take the risk

of letting more people

know this secret.

Everyone in Jingdu knows

that Jinzhu of the General's Residence

is a woman who has loved Prince Ning since childhood.

But no one knows

that you are so good at psychological tactics.

Thank you for your compliment.

However,

the time for you to consider

to consider.

Your Highness,

Lord Lu temporarily placed you here.

We still need to search.

Someone's coming.

Take it off.

Hurry.

I apologize for the disturbance.

I hope you...

In the middle of the night,

you just barged into a man's room.

You're really unconcerned with propriety.

My imperial jade pendant is missing.

Have you

seen anyone suspicious?

Imperially bestowed item?

I should look for it.

[Lou Siyi is injured.]

[Why does he still look for women?]

I heard you often visit Qingxiao Pavilion.

That's not surprising.

Who is the girl in your arms?

What?

You suspect my girl?

Then let me take a good look.
