Original subtitles

Your Highness,

why is it you?

I didn't kill Xu.

It wasn't me who killed him.

You wicked woman.

During the incident at Xuri Palace,

I risked my life to protect you and Xu,

but you ended up in Li Jiao's bed.

For the throne,

Li Jiao wouldn't even spare my child left behind.

He will come to a bad end,

and so will you.

No!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Did you have a nightmare again?

I'm fine.

[Li Jiao]

Your Majesty,

I'm sorry for being late.

You had a dream again?

It was just a dream.

Don't take it seriously.

Ziyu,

do you think I am terrifying?

I'm carving a memorial tablet for my husband while he is still alive,

and I showed no mercy

to my own child.

I have never had such a thought.

You are wise and intelligent.

You know what is most important in this palace

and what is not.

I never wanted to hurt my own child.

For so many years,

I've been putting up with him.

As long as he obediently remains a useless man,

I can guarantee him a peaceful life.

His Highness is reckless at his age.

Please don't let him ruin your health.

You're wrong.

Do you think I would believe

that what the Crown Prince did today

was because he truly loves that woman?

To men, women

can satisfy their desires

and continue their family line.

Men need women

and dote on them.

They would decorate them with gold and jewels,

and entice them with sweet words.

But they would never

truly risk anything for a woman.

Men...

can only be seduced by power

and take risks for it.

What that woman brings to the Crown Prince

is definitely not just love.

They must be plotting

against me.

Zhen,

I will uncover the truth for you.

[REBIRTH]

[Episode 8]

Chun'er,

what are you doing?

Leaving here.

Leaving you.

Why?

Li Yan,

you're not some ordinary man.

You are the Prince of Luo in Biantang, a royal descendant.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I don't want to have anything to do

with the royal family anymore!

Chun'er!

Chun'er.

I told you

that my name is Li Yan.

After my father passed away, I observed 3 years of mourning.

I stay away from court affairs and enjoy farming and studying.

All of this is true.

It's true that I never told you

about my status as a prince,

but that's because my father, the Prince of Chang,

was suspected by Biantang Emperor in his early years.

He was confined in Jincheng his whole life

and died of depression.

As his son,

although I inherited the title of prince,

I could only live in seclusion observing mourning,

and without an imperial decree, I could not enter the capital.

I know very well

that I am not of high royal blood.

I just wanted to face you

as Li Yan.

There's no use saying this now.

In my eyes,

you are the Prince of Luo,

and that makes you royal.

Whether you are in power or favored,

you are worlds apart from commoners.

Chun'er.

Then can you at least tell me

why you hate the royal family so much?

Because all nobles

surround themselves with concubines,

and the beautiful female slaves around them

are countless.

I can't stand this.

I don't want to have anything to do with

the sons of noble families anymore.

Chun'er!

Wait a minute.

From today on,

you are free from slavery.

Whether you want to go home or get married,

it's all up to you.

This money is enough for you to settle down.

We were master and servants once,

but we will part ways here.

You can live a free life now.

-Thank you, Your Highness! -Thank you, Your Highness!

Come and get the money.

Thank you, Your Highness!

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Chunxing,

you don't want the money?

Your Highness!

I was sold here when I was little.

I know nothing else but to serve you!

Please let me stay.

I am willing to work like a dog

to serve you for the rest of my life!

Okay.

Then you can stay.

Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!

Mozhan, what are you doing?

I...

I also want to spend my whole life

working like a dog to serve you.

Both of you can stay.

You may leave too.

Yes.

I am also willing to work like a dog

to serve you for the rest of my life.

Thank you, Your Highness.

If only Yan Xun...

could be like this.

Chun'er,

what are you talking about?

Why did you do this?

You are not him.

What's the use of doing all this?

Chun'er,

what's wrong?

Chun'er!

This is the third thing Qiao promised you,

the portrait of Fu you wanted.

Thank you for your help at the palace banquet the other day.

This portrait was kept in the palace.

How did Your Highness get it?

I am the Crown Prince, after all.

I just spent some money and got it out of the palace.

But I have another question.

Please go ahead, Your Highness.

Why did you help us?

Your situation is no better than mine.

Is it just because of this portrait?

Aren't you afraid

of getting into trouble with the Empress?

Your Highness,

do you remember when we were young?

Of course I do.

We both fell in love with Fu at the same time,

and even fought over her.

Yes.

We were very childish back then.

But actually,

I've always felt there was a

mutual understanding between us.

To say something presumptuous,

you and I

have suffered alike.

When His Majesty ascended the throne,

because my father and Crown Prince Maocheng

were born to the same mother,

he was ordered to live in seclusion in the remote Jincheng.

Later, my father passed away.

I was 14 then,

coming to Tangjing for the first time.

To show his magnanimity and compassion,

His Majesty made an exception and made me a Prince.

Though I was young,

I knew very well

that even a eunuch

or a maid by the Empress's side

had more power than me

and could hold their heads higher.

Li Yan,

all these years,

I know you must have had a hard time too.

Your Highness,

do you remember

the day Fu went to war with her father?

I do.

It was raining that day.

We went to see her off together,

all the way to more than 30 miles outside the city.

You were completely soaked but refused to go back.

Actually, I had a chance back then

to plead with the Empress

to let Fu stay and marry me.

But because I was concerned about my status

and feared the Empress, I didn't dare.

So I missed the only chance

to save her.

Last night in the main hall,

somehow,

I felt like I was back to that day,

the day we saw Fu off from the capital.

I felt

this was heaven giving me another chance

to make up for my regret.

That's why

you wanted to help us?

I have missed my chance once

and lost Fu forever.

But I don't want

the tragedy to repeat itself on you.

Even if you have to break the ice,

you must find her!

Your Majesty!

Lady Chu fell into the lake a month ago.

The frozen lake spans thousands of miles,

and the ice on the surface never melts.

Breaking it open

might be impossible.

Your Majesty,

we found an underground river nearby,

leading to Ximeng.

This ornament

was found by the underground river.

Chu is not dead.

You must find her!

Arrest the manager of this store!

Yes!

Move!

Have you seen Chu?

If she's still alive,

she will definitely try to contact

your Universal Harmony Guild.

The Universal Harmony Guild has long been gone,

but you have a family,

a wife, children, and parents.

If you don't know,

I will personally ask your family

to see who

is willing to tell me.

Yan Xun,

you ungrateful wretch!

Without the help of the Universal Harmony Guild,

how could you have escaped

from Great Yong, that hell?

It wasn't enough that you killed Miss Zhong,

and you won't even let go of Lady Chu.

What did you say?

Who killed Miss Zhong?

Did you use Miss Zhong to lure Lady Chu out

just to kill them all?

Fortunately, heaven showed mercy

and let Lady Chu survive.

Not to mention that I don't know where Lady Chu is.

Even if I did,

I would never tell you.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

Your martial skills are even better than before your recovery.

Chu Qiao, that femme fatale,

leaving Great Yan is a great fortune

for both you and Great Yan.

Cheng Yuan, let me ask you.

Why can't you let go of Chu?

Over and over again,

you betrayed and disobeyed me because of Chu.

Your Majesty, in my heart,

you're the only King of Great Yan.

I have never betrayed you.

You told me

that Zhong Yu died suddenly in prison,

but it was actually you who killed her

and used her to kill Chu.

You think I don't know that?

Your Majesty,

kill me.

Chu Qiao will only be a stumbling block on your path to revenge!

She...

must die.

I will not spare

anyone who hurts Chu.

And I won't keep you.

I don't want to see you again

Close the door.

Close the window.

This is a Xuanji Bell.

There used to be many in Qingshan Manor.

It sounds like an ordinary wind chime,

but it's extremely penetrating.

It can be heard for miles.

If someone comes uninvited to your mansion,

I can hear the noise.

There is one more thing,

and it's the most important.

What is it?

It doesn't matter that you don't know martial arts.

I'll teach you three moves.

At a critical moment, they can not only save your life,

but maybe also save others.

The move just now is called "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl."

It's for when someone attacks you from the front.

You can use it to injure the enemy's eyes,

buying you a chance to escape.

Try it.

This move is called "Divine Dragon Wagging Its Tail."

It's for when someone tries to sneak up on you.

Good move.

There's one last move.

The last move.

Awesome!

What is this move called?

It's called...

"the Quick-Foot Flee."

Commonly known as

"Running Fast."

"Running Fast"?

You don't have any foundation in martial arts.

No matter how much I teach you,

you won't be able to master it in a short time.

The key is

that when you encounter danger,

you need to be able to run away.

Don't sleep tonight.

Practice these three moves 30 times.

Thirty?

Is this also something you learned from Zhuge Yue?

He doesn't need this.

It's Lord Zhan's order.

Yes, My Lord.

Princess, you are here?

We thought

you weren't here.

We just wanted to come and see you.

Why are you so cruel to us?

See me?

Sneaking around to see me?

Yes.

You misunderstood, Princess.

We just wanted to come and play games with you.

We thought you weren't here,

so we dared to come in and look around.

Where is your King Li'an?

Since he has been defeated,

why doesn't he come out of the city to welcome King Ximeng?

Our King knows his sins are grave.

He sincerely wants to surrender to Ximeng.

He has now taken off his armor

and is waiting for punishment in the prison.

Please enter the city, King Ximeng, to receive his respects.

Where is your king?

Bring him out for an audience.

King Ximeng!

You will die in Li'an City today!

You go first.

General!

King Ximeng has surrounded us with his army!

We've been tricked!

That old bastard King Ximeng used this brat to lure us away.

Our plan failed.

Then let's take this brat down with us!

Go!

I want him to be my shadow,

to act as a decoy in Li'an City in my place.

Qiao,

you got hurt?

Great!

I can finally pick up a sword!

Zhuge Yue,

I did it!

Please forgive me, Lord Zhan.

That woman is very alert.

We tested her several times,

but she didn't give herself away.

People are alert when awake,

but not necessarily...

when on the verge of death.

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Zhuge Yue...

You are Chu Qiao,

not Princess Fu, right?

What are you doing here?

What are you and the Crown Prince planning?

Li Ce...

Li Ce said I am Princess Fu.

I...

I...

Where is she?

Since you like making deals,

let's make another one.

Mother

seems very certain

that you are Chu Qiao.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, you can't go in!

Everyone knows the Crown Prince is useless.

So I took the liberty to see you.

Chu Qiao?

Zhao Kuo!

Kill her!

Then let's see

who is faster.
