[Episode 3]

3
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:28,440
Jia Ruru,

4
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,440
are you really not

5
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,110
going to lock me up in a room

6
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:32,380
and beat me up?

7
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,940
What's going on?

8
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,310
Why aren't they moving?

9
00:02:56,510 --> 00:03:00,340
Help! The script is killing me!

10
00:03:01,810 --> 00:03:03,470
Miss Song fell into the water!

11
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:10,910
Seriously?

12
00:03:11,660 --> 00:03:13,230
Taking my life again?

13
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,560
I've died so many times.

14
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,070
Nan Heng?

15
00:03:23,310 --> 00:03:25,100
He looks exactly like Nan Feng.

16
00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:27,210
The same smug look.

17
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:28,870
The same...

18
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:35,660
I'd rather be dead.

19
00:03:35,750 --> 00:03:37,600
I'd sooner be drowned

20
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,530
than go through the plots with you.

21
00:03:52,230 --> 00:03:53,620
It was His Highness's decision to jump?

22
00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:54,710
Are you sure?

23
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,030
It is so

24
00:03:59,030 --> 00:04:01,310
wise of His Highness.

25
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,750
How brilliant.

26
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:03,720
Yiting!

27
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:04,750
Yiting!

28
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,120
I heard someone fell into the water.

29
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,350
Are you okay?

30
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480
I'm standing right here.
Of course I'm fine.

31
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,220
It was my sister who fell into the water,

32
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:12,400
followed by the Seventh Prince.

33
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,310
Heng?

34
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:14,500
No way!

35
00:04:14,910 --> 00:04:16,190
Did it really happen?

36
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:24,380
This is bad.

37
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,720
Here comes the iconic scene.

00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:31,350
[A Dream of Qingning]
[Scene 4, Episode 3]

39
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:42,970
Thank Your Highness

40
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,680
for saving my life.

41
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Well, I need to be somewhere else.

42
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,270
I have to go now.

43
00:04:47,550 --> 00:04:48,540
Song Yimeng,

44
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,720
I know

45
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:51,100
you deliberately fell into the water

46
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,770
to seduce the Seventh Prince!

47
00:04:54,350 --> 00:04:55,640
I don't know what you're saying.

48
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,030
Let me go.

49
00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:57,030
You want to leave?

50
00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:58,640
Now you're scared, huh?

51
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,320
Remember what you just told me?

52
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,640
"Chu Guihong wants to marry me."

53
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,100
"So does the Seventh P..."

54
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,230
Yimeng,

55
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:06,830
what is this about?

56
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,800
How am I supposed

57
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,920
have the answer?

58
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,490
He's still putting on an act.

59
00:05:21,540 --> 00:05:22,890
Fine.

60
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:24,280
I'll take a risk then.

61
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:25,930
This story line must end here.

62
00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:29,790
What are you doing?

63
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:33,340
I just saved your life.

64
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:36,400
You saved my life?

65
00:05:36,910 --> 00:05:38,540
Your Highness are approaching me

66
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:40,220
for a purpose, aren't you?

67
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,760
What?

68
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,320
It's true, isn't it?

69
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,910
You're aiming

70
00:05:45,910 --> 00:05:48,160
for my family's power, aren't you?

71
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:50,230
Do you really think I'm ignorant?

72
00:05:50,470 --> 00:05:51,350
Well said!

73
00:05:51,660 --> 00:05:53,760
The Song sisters are unexpectedly

74
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,280
perceptive.

75
00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:59,350
You mean I should

76
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,350
have just let you drown,

77
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,170
right?

78
00:06:02,350 --> 00:06:03,160
Right.

79
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:05,250
A famous person once said,

80
00:06:05,330 --> 00:06:07,030
"Do not try to help others.

81
00:06:07,030 --> 00:06:08,660
Let their fate take its course."

82
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:09,520
Do you get it?

83
00:06:10,650 --> 00:06:11,430
Okay.

84
00:06:12,220 --> 00:06:14,030
When you're in danger next time,

85
00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:16,720
I'll definitely not interfere.

86
00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:18,350
There won't be a next time.

Your Highness and I

88
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,030
had better go our separate ways

89
00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:23,200
and never see each other again.

90
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Farewell!

91
00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:28,920

92
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,660
Your Highness, what should we do now?

93
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:40,600
Wait. You...

94

Is it true?

So the God of Death is
in fact an innocent boy.

132
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:13,620
How unbelievable. Someone at your age

133
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:14,200

00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:47,140
I didn't expect you also excel in

569
00:24:47,140 --> 00:24:48,940
these refined pastimes of winter.

570
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:50,480
My daughter is different.

571
00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:51,860
All she knows is fooling around all day.

572
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:53,140
She never behaves properly.

573
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:55,040
I put well water and water from the sky

574
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,560
in front of her at the same time,

575
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,680
and she couldn't tell the difference!

576
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,620
It seems that Your Highness and my daughter

577
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,140
are like clouds and mud.

578
00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:07,860
I can't agree with that, Mr. Song.

579
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:09,940
I've seen many beautiful girls,

580
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:11,320
but I'm only into

581
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,900
Miss Song's natural

582
00:25:13,900 --> 00:25:15,760
and uncarved personality.

583
00:25:16,860 --> 00:25:18,460
How can a favored man like you

584
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,700
be mentioned in the same breath as
an ordinary woman like my daughter?

585
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:24,760
You will achieve great things in the future,

586
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,420
but my family...

587
00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:28,900
I'm not young anymore.

588
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:29,770
I'm afraid

589
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:32,600
that when I'm six feet under,

590
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280
our family will have nothing to help you.

591
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,600
There are things,

592
00:25:40,380 --> 00:25:41,350
Your Highness,

593
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:44,350
that you have to have other plans with.

594
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:47,940
Miss Song and I

595
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:49,480
love each other.

596
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,480
Why did you talk about helping me?

597
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,280
However,

598
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,180
I deeply appreciate your love for your daughter.

599
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:55,320
So, rest assured.

600
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,760
As long as you are willing to

601
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,560
leave your daughter in my care,

602
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,100
when you pass away,

603
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,350
I will take care of the Song family.

604
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,380
Isn't this

605
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,100
a win-win situation?

606
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,140
You... Well…

607
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:07,800
Father.

608
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,660
Your Highness.

609
00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:10,380
Yimeng.

610
00:26:10,860 --> 00:26:12,240
Come, sit down.

611
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,570
Miss Song, has your cold

612
00:26:21,620 --> 00:26:22,840
recovered, too?

613
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,760
Your Highness,

614
00:26:29,350 --> 00:26:30,900
the cold did get better,

615
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,570
but I'm left with this ailment

616
00:26:32,590 --> 00:26:34,180
of coughing.

617
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,800
That's why I dare not

618
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:37,760
go out recently.

619
00:26:41,390 --> 00:26:42,460
What's going on?

620
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:43,700
Didn't the script say

621
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:45,080
they never got along?

622
00:26:45,380 --> 00:26:47,440
Why did he invite Nan Heng to sit here?

623
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,840
Yimeng,

624
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:51,840
didn't you say

625
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:55,040
there was a misunderstanding
between you two in the royal garden?

626
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,600
I invited His Highness here today

627
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,620
so that you can explain everything

628
00:26:58,780 --> 00:26:59,980
with him face to face.

629
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,410
I can't agree with that, Mr. Song.

630
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,490
That day, the shore was crowded
with onlookers.

631
00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:11,900
Miss Song and I

632
00:27:11,940 --> 00:27:13,280
love each other.

633
00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:15,600
There's no misunderstanding.

634
00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:18,100
Your Highness, this isn't something
to say without thinking.

635
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,280
My daughter

636
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,180
has been engaged to Chu since childhood.

637
00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:22,800
She has always abided by the rules.

638
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,180
The rules are rigid,

639
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,020
but people are alive and should be flexible.

640
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:27,140
But we can't let

641
00:27:27,170 --> 00:27:29,330
the living people be drowned

642
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:30,820
by other people's slander.

643
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:32,100
So,

644
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,350
my daughter

645
00:27:33,530 --> 00:27:35,140
dare not have any feelings

646
00:27:35,140 --> 00:27:36,520
toward Your Highness.

647
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:37,860
So, Your Highness,

648
00:27:37,860 --> 00:27:39,840
please don't take it the wrong way.

649
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,320
Come on.

650
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,770
Have some tea.

651
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,240
Have some tea.

652
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,760
So, Mr. Song, do you mean

653
00:27:51,070 --> 00:27:52,860
I think too much?

654
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:58,300
Yimeng,

655
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,020
who is right between me and His Highness?

656
00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:03,000
Miss Song,

657
00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:04,700
tell us.

658
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,100
This is an EQ question.

659
00:28:17,350 --> 00:28:18,150
Miss Song.

660
00:28:19,380 --> 00:28:20,180
That day,

661
00:28:20,850 --> 00:28:22,590
I saved you from the lake.

662
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,350
But if you don't remember

663
00:28:24,350 --> 00:28:25,940
what happened on the shore,

664
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,210
I don't mind describing it

665
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,140
for Mr. Song.

666
00:28:38,610 --> 00:28:40,920
Your Highness is wise.

667
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,130
Thank you for saving me

668
00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:44,990
in the loyal garden that day.

669
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:48,100
It's a blessing for me.

670
00:28:51,110 --> 00:28:52,590
Your Highness,

671
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:55,060
what you have done for me these days,

672
00:28:55,090 --> 00:28:57,340
I'm really grateful.

673
00:28:57,660 --> 00:28:59,530
I'll never forget your kindness.

674
00:29:04,490 --> 00:29:06,030
It's just that…

675
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,100
love

676
00:29:09,130 --> 00:29:10,810
can't be forced.

677
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,230
Just take what I did that day as

678
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,280
an act of drunken recklessness.

679
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,560
My mind was fogged.

680
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:18,800
Just consider it

681
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,100
a mistake that most women would make.

682
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,840
But I also have something

683
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,320
to ask you.

684
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:27,660
You're obviously skilled in martial arts

685
00:29:27,660 --> 00:29:28,940
and invincible,

686
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,420
but why did you let me

687
00:29:31,420 --> 00:29:33,280
molest you in public?

688
00:29:33,420 --> 00:29:34,350
You didn't take the initiative,

689
00:29:34,350 --> 00:29:35,350
but you didn't refuse

690
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:36,840
or take responsibility, either.

691
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,660
Is it that

692
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:39,620
you want to make

693
00:29:39,730 --> 00:29:42,900
the mistake that every man would make?

694
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,350
Why does Yimeng behave like a different person?

695
00:29:48,350 --> 00:29:49,680
So,

696
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:51,850
it takes two to tangle.

697
00:29:52,330 --> 00:29:53,450
I

698
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,180
might be a player,

699
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,600
but Your Highness,

700
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:59,180
you seem to be one, too.

701
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,380
But don't worry.

702
00:30:00,420 --> 00:30:01,870
I'm not the kind of woman

703
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:03,240
who cries and threatens to hang herself

704
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,500
to force the man to take responsibility.

705
00:30:06,290 --> 00:30:07,800
When the fleeting passion

706
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:08,800
fades,

707
00:30:08,990 --> 00:30:10,590
let it fade.

708
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:11,940
From now on,

709
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:13,900
let's just

710
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:15,100
go our separate ways.

711
00:30:15,380 --> 00:30:16,790
How is it, Your Highness?

712
00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:20,700
This should break

713
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:22,840
the romantic subplot with him, right?

714
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:31,600
Don't get drunk again.

715
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,520
Do you hear me?

716
00:30:34,940 --> 00:30:35,810
Your Highness.

717
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,860
The misunderstanding has been cleared up.

718
00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:38,660
Here.

719
00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:40,000
Have some tea.

720
00:30:40,140 --> 00:30:41,240
Have some tea.

721
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Mr. Song,

722
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:44,130
since it's a misunderstanding,

723
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:45,930
it's great that it's solved now.

724
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,120
I won't bother you then.

725
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:52,660
Miss Song,

726
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,150
can you see me out?

727
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,890
No, this is not appropriate, Your Highness.

728
00:30:57,890 --> 00:30:59,530
We have just made this clear.

729
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:01,280
Others would gossip again.

730
00:31:03,210 --> 00:31:04,010
Yimeng,

731
00:31:04,550 --> 00:31:06,350
all who come are treated as guests.

732
00:31:06,350 --> 00:31:08,430
His Highness is so very understanding.

733
00:31:08,430 --> 00:31:09,790
Besides,

734
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,460
refined people like us

735
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,240
can't be rude.

736
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,310
Please, Your Highness.

737
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,930
Your Highness,

738
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,100
Miss Song doesn't seem to play hard to get.

739
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,060
She really doesn't like you.

740
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:32,850
Shut up.

741
00:31:51,140 --> 00:31:53,900
What a waste of my delicacies.

742
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Fugui.

743
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:03,760
Go ahead and watch for me.

744
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,860
I have something

745
00:32:04,900 --> 00:32:06,310
to tell Miss Song.

746
00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:07,800
I don't think it's necessary.

747
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,660
We've said

748
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:10,630
all that we should say, haven't we?

749
00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:39,690
You...

750
00:32:40,290 --> 00:32:41,210
What do you want?

751
00:32:45,090 --> 00:32:46,200
I just want to see

752
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:47,570
what will happen.

753
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,080
That day,

754
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,170
you controlled me.

755
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:02,900
Am I right?

756
00:33:03,420 --> 00:33:04,140
I...

757
00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:05,290
You were under…

758
00:33:05,910 --> 00:33:06,920
control, too?

759
00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:08,140
"Too"?

760
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:11,700
Stop pretending.

761
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:12,860
Say it.

762
00:33:14,010 --> 00:33:15,810
You played tricks to control me.

763
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,140
What is your agenda?

764
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,620
I...

765
00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:21,800
I don't understand what you're talking about.

766
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,040
I saved you when you
fell into the water that day.

767
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,500
You didn't appreciate it.

768
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,280
But then you threw yourself
into my arms on the shore.

769
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,860
And now "misunderstanding" is your excuse

770
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:36,000
for turning me down?

771
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,280
What?

772
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Do I look like a fool?

773
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,600
No, Your Highness.

774
00:33:45,610 --> 00:33:47,610
This really is a misunderstanding.

775
00:33:47,700 --> 00:33:48,560
It's true.

776
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:51,260
Your Highness!

777
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,850
This is where the Minister of War…

778
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Say it!

779
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:02,210
How can I explain it?

780
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,350
If I tell him it's the script's setting

781
00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:04,560
and the romantic subplot between the leads

782
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,800
or it's the iconic scene mechanism,

783
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,420
he'll stab me now.

784
00:34:09,420 --> 00:34:10,240
Say it!

785
00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:14,140
Okay.

786
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,050
Okay, I will, Your Highness.

787
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,770
Calm down. Calm down.

788
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:19,360
I'll tell you everything.

789
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,620
Actually...

790
00:34:21,090 --> 00:34:22,840
Actually it's all because of...

791
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:23,620
well,

792
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:25,650
Mr. Screenwriter.

793
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:29,380
Mister…

794
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:30,690
Screenwriter?

795
00:34:33,660 --> 00:34:34,730
Yes.

796
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:36,570
It's Mr. Screenwriter.

797
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,130
This is

798
00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:40,460
a mysterious power from the ancient east.

799
00:34:40,460 --> 00:34:41,710
He knows everything

800
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:42,960
and can control

801
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,150
everyone's life, death, pain, and joy.

802
00:34:47,210 --> 00:34:48,960
If you

803
00:34:49,060 --> 00:34:50,860
really can't understand,

804
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,750
you can take him

805
00:34:52,830 --> 00:34:53,790
as Bodhisattva,

806
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,750
God of Earth,

807
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,580
Buddha, or any other god.

808
00:34:56,670 --> 00:34:57,440
The point is

809
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,920
he sent me many dreams.

810
00:34:58,940 --> 00:35:00,270
They were all about you.

811
00:35:00,270 --> 00:35:01,360
So, Your Highness,

812
00:35:01,380 --> 00:35:02,860
I came to this world

813
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,480
to help you succeed.

814
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,730
We are on the same side.

815
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,060
God?

816
00:35:09,310 --> 00:35:10,230
Sent you dreams?

817
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:15,360
Keep lying.

818
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,500
I'm not making up stories.

819
00:35:19,110 --> 00:35:20,230
When you were nine,

820
00:35:20,230 --> 00:35:22,310
did the emperor leave you in the cold palace or not?

821
00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:23,440
You had chilblains on your hands and feet,

822
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,310
but he turned a blind eye.

823
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:25,080
At the age of ten,

824
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,150
you fell victim to a plot

825
00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:27,400
while training in martial arts.

826
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,190
Your right arm

827
00:35:28,270 --> 00:35:29,400
was fractured in three places

828
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:30,520
and nearly ended up disabled.

829
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,750
Am I right,

830
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,230
Okay.

831
00:35:38,540 --> 00:35:40,560
When you were 12,
there was a drought in the capital.

832
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,670
Then, you were in the cold palace,

833
00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:43,310
you had absolutely nothing to eat.

834
00:35:43,310 --> 00:35:43,880
At that critical moment,

835
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,730
wasn't it the grass in the yard
that saved your life?

836
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,130
Fine.

837
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:52,310
Those are just anecdotal rumors

838
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:53,310
about the palace.

839
00:35:54,130 --> 00:35:55,880
Ask any of the old eunuchs

840
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:57,310
and they'll tell you.

841
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:00,790
Fine.

842
00:36:01,670 --> 00:36:03,810
If you don't believe any of those,

843
00:36:05,650 --> 00:36:08,650
what about what happened between
you and Chu Guihong?

844
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,110
You two

845
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:13,960
had been best friends since childhood.

846
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:13,710
[Chu Guihong (as a child)]

00:36:14,210 --> 00:36:15,480
[Nan Heng (as a child)]

848
00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:17,250
But because of the death of the late Empress,

849
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:19,360
you two fell apart

850
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,670
and became enemies.

851
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,440
I know all of it.

852
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,190
Really, I know everything.

853
00:36:24,670 --> 00:36:25,790
I also know

854
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:27,710
you've been through a lot,

855
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,810
but no matter how hard you try,

856
00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:31,790
the world only sees you as God of Death

857
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:32,920
and someone evil.

858
00:36:32,940 --> 00:36:33,900
Even His Majesty

859
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,630
has never even spared you a proper glance,

860
00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:36,560
because all he sees is

861
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,920
that Eighteenth Prince, Nan Rui.

862
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,630
That's why you're feeling wronged.

863
00:36:38,630 --> 00:36:39,560
That's why you want to revolt.

864
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:40,270
That's why you want to take back

865
00:36:40,270 --> 00:36:41,560
everything that should've been yours
in the first place!

866
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,750
Am I right,

867
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:43,710
Your Highness?

868
00:36:58,150 --> 00:36:59,810
I really underestimated you.

869
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,690
Who told you these things?

870
00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:07,770
Chu Guihong,

871
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,880

872
00:37:09,790 --> 00:37:11,250
or someone else?

873
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,150
Wait, bro.

874
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:13,670
You don't believe in anything.

875
00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:14,920
You're just being a troll now, huh?

876
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:15,790
What exactly do you want to hear?

877
00:37:15,790 --> 00:37:17,190
What on earth do you want?

878
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,270
What does he want?

00:37:27,130 --> 00:37:28,270
Within three days,

882
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,250
I want you to hand in all the letters

Otherwise…

886
00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:39,480
Letters?

887
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,330
What exactly are you looking for?

Am I right, Your Highness?

892
00:38:01,420 --> 00:38:02,730
Now, you should

893
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:04,610
trust me?

894
00:38:04,940 --> 00:38:07,460
Miss Song, do you know what you're talking about?

895
00:38:07,460 --> 00:38:09,650

00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:16,920
Ten years ago,

948
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:18,900
when Chu Guihong went to the border
on a military expedition,

949
00:41:18,900 --> 00:41:21,150
it was Miss Song who saw him off in person.

950
00:41:21,150 --> 00:41:23,290
Since then, they've corresponded
with each other every month.

951
00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:24,230
Before, in the capital,

952
00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:25,080
Miss Song

953
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:25,960
lived in seclusion.

954
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,830
She didn't have many friends.

955
00:41:26,830 --> 00:41:28,600
And she didn't get along with her sister.

956
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,860
Say something useful.

957
00:41:31,270 --> 00:41:32,360
Miss Song

958
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,810
rarely came to the palace.

959
00:41:34,310 --> 00:41:35,480
And we didn't find

960
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,230
she's ever paid any attention to your news.

961
00:41:38,670 --> 00:41:39,630
What she said today

962
00:41:39,630 --> 00:41:40,630
is probably true.

963
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,360
I don't buy into

964
00:41:44,270 --> 00:41:45,860
all the supernatural stuff,

965
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:49,190
but a young lady who lives in seclusion

966
00:41:50,230 --> 00:41:51,920
knows so much about me.

967
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,420
She even knows about my great cause.

968
00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:58,110
Who is she loyal to?

969
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,360
Nan Rui

970
00:42:00,310 --> 00:42:01,230
or His Majesty?

971
00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:06,310
No matter who she is loyal to,

972
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:07,880
that mouth of hers

973
00:42:08,670 --> 00:42:10,270
is better to be shut.
