{\an8}[Episode 11]
2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,059
How is Her Highness now?
3
00:00:21,059 --> 00:00:22,539
An imperial physician
has already examined Her Highness
4
00:00:22,539 --> 00:00:23,649
and said that it's nothing serious—
5
00:00:23,649 --> 00:00:25,050
it should be heatstroke.
6
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:26,579
Heatstroke?
7
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:30,320
How could Her Highness get heatstroke
in this weather?
8
00:00:46,270 --> 00:00:49,780
{\an8}[Eternal Love of the Fox]
9
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:23,379
{\an8}[Kunning Palace]
10
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,069
How is it?
11
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,259
Stop pacing around.
12
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:41,900
Have you found the evil spirit
behind this?
13
00:02:46,030 --> 00:02:46,689
Not really.
14
00:02:47,689 --> 00:02:49,000
Other than that wily fox,
15
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,340
there aren't any other demons here.
16
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:52,199
The needle keeps pointing at him.
17
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,039
Old Fox,
18
00:02:53,069 --> 00:02:54,530
how's it going on your end?
19
00:02:54,539 --> 00:02:55,259
Nothing.
20
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,539
Everything's normal.
21
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:59,389
Could it be
22
00:02:59,669 --> 00:03:00,870
so highly cultivated
23
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000
that it's already fooled both of us?
24
00:03:03,689 --> 00:03:06,289
Just like the bloody water
in the tub last time.
25
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:13,500
What kind of evil spirit
26
00:03:13,530 --> 00:03:15,460
could have such formidable power?
27
00:03:16,229 --> 00:03:17,150
Or perhaps
28
00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:18,750
Princess Ningshuang
29
00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:21,329
simply suffered from ordinary heatstroke.
30
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:26,699
Look,
31
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:28,430
this is fate.
32
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:29,979
Even if it's fate,
33
00:03:30,169 --> 00:03:31,270
as long as one is willing
to fight for it,
34
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:32,930
destiny can still be changed.
35
00:03:33,789 --> 00:03:34,590
Fate
36
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:36,659
is predetermined.
37
00:03:37,229 --> 00:03:38,829
No one can change it.
38
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,560
I have resigned myself to my fate.
39
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:48,759
I only hope Ningshuang
40
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:52,159
can live
41
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:57,280
a happy and carefree life.
42
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:00,639
Even if
43
00:04:00,699 --> 00:04:01,659
you never
44
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,409
see her again in this lifetime?
45
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,159
Princess Ningshuang, receive the decree:
46
00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:19,930
{\an8}[Ningshuang Palace]
47
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:12,919
the bond between us
as mother and daughter in this lifetime
48
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,180
was severed the moment you left the womb.
49
00:04:15,539 --> 00:04:17,470
You must sever all futile attachments,
50
00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:19,470
lest they harm others and yourself.
51
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:21,778
From this day forward,
52
00:04:21,819 --> 00:04:24,740
you are forbidden to come anywhere
near Kunning Palace.
53
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:25,860
Any violation of this order
54
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:29,009
shall be treated
as an act of assassination.
55
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:47,279
Your Highness,
56
00:04:48,189 --> 00:04:48,750
actually—
57
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:50,350
actually—the Old Madam did this
for your own good.
58
00:04:50,350 --> 00:04:51,180
All along, she has been—
59
00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:52,019
Get out!
60
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:55,500
Your Highness, the truth isn't
what you think it is.
61
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:56,629
Step outside first.
62
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,420
We can talk once Her Highness
has calmed down.
63
00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:00,459
Madam Chen!
64
00:05:00,949 --> 00:05:02,009
See her out.
65
00:05:02,379 --> 00:05:03,019
Yes.
66
00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:04,529
No.
67
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:05,550
That's not how it is.
68
00:05:05,550 --> 00:05:06,009
Mentor.
69
00:05:06,009 --> 00:05:07,579
The Old Madam has her reasons!
70
00:05:07,579 --> 00:05:09,139
She truly cares about you, Your Highness!
71
00:05:09,139 --> 00:05:10,240
Mentor, let's step outside first.
72
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:10,519
Mentor.
73
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:11,889
The Old Madam has her reasons!
74
00:05:11,889 --> 00:05:12,810
Your Highness!
75
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:24,800
These
76
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,240
are the firsthand records
and related accounts
77
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,339
from before
and after Princess Ningshuang's birth.
78
00:05:29,339 --> 00:05:30,759
We need to identify everything
79
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,360
connected to Princess Ningshuang
and the Old Madam.
80
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:39,199
Xiangjiu,
81
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,759
the matter between the Old Madam
and Princess Ningshuang
82
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,040
is an unsolvable knot.
83
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Why waste our efforts on it?
84
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:48,720
Besides,
85
00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:50,959
the Old Madam has already issued a decree
86
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:52,800
forbidding the princess
from approaching Kunning Palace.
87
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,420
The Old Madam did this
88
00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:57,480
for Princess Ningshuang's own good.
89
00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:03,459
No matter the reason,
90
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,040
the Old Madam
has already accepted her fate.
91
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,899
Why go out of our way to interfere?
92
00:06:07,899 --> 00:06:09,230
I don't believe in fate!
93
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:11,529
Whether you believe in it or not,
94
00:06:11,529 --> 00:06:12,589
destiny still exists—
95
00:06:12,589 --> 00:06:13,009
right,
96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,759
Old Fox?
97
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:16,069
Destiny
98
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,810
can be rewritten.
99
00:06:18,550 --> 00:06:20,269
Why are you saying that too?
100
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:22,439
Anyway,
101
00:06:22,889 --> 00:06:24,220
I don't believe in fate!
102
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:25,839
Any unhappy destiny
103
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:27,790
is meant to be challenged by great—
104
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:29,709
any great story is
105
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:32,339
about struggling
against an unhappy destiny!
106
00:06:43,939 --> 00:06:44,740
Xiangjiu,
107
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:45,850
it's time to eat.
108
00:06:48,509 --> 00:06:49,829
Attendant Bai,
109
00:06:51,230 --> 00:06:52,470
join us as well.
110
00:06:53,449 --> 00:06:54,379
I'm not very hungry.
111
00:06:54,379 --> 00:06:55,259
You go ahead.
112
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:57,579
That won't do.
113
00:06:58,439 --> 00:06:59,370
If you don't eat,
114
00:06:59,379 --> 00:07:00,980
how can we have any appetite?
115
00:07:01,550 --> 00:07:03,209
If you don't feel like eating,
116
00:07:03,889 --> 00:07:05,490
let's work on this together.
117
00:07:08,329 --> 00:07:09,069
All right then—together.
118
00:07:09,069 --> 00:07:10,529
That way, it'll go faster.
119
00:07:12,379 --> 00:07:13,100
All right.
120
00:07:46,019 --> 00:07:46,740
Look—
121
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:48,158
after the princess fell ill this time,
122
00:07:48,158 --> 00:07:50,459
the Old Madam invited a sorcerer
called Sorcerer Yu into the palace.
123
00:07:50,459 --> 00:07:52,569
This was the fourth time
Princess Ningshuang
124
00:07:52,569 --> 00:07:54,300
had fallen ill since her birth.
125
00:07:54,339 --> 00:07:56,000
Because Princess Ningshuang
126
00:07:56,139 --> 00:07:56,939
was often ill,
127
00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:58,649
the Old Madam had no choice
128
00:07:58,649 --> 00:08:00,759
but to invite a sorcerer
to perform rituals.
129
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:01,399
However,
130
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,100
there are no records here
of what happened
131
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,610
after Sorcerer Yu entered the palace.
132
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:09,639
I think I saw a record
133
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,009
of this Sorcerer Yu
in the palace gate guards' register.
134
00:08:13,829 --> 00:08:14,629
Check this.
135
00:08:14,889 --> 00:08:17,589
In the Gui-Mao year, he entered the palace
on the 4th of May
136
00:08:17,589 --> 00:08:19,019
and departed on the 6th of May.
137
00:08:19,019 --> 00:08:20,879
He stayed in the palace for 2 days.
138
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,589
It was after this incident
139
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:32,000
that the Old Madam expelled
Princess Ningshuang from Kunning Palace.
140
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,158
Sorcerer Yu must have told
141
00:08:33,158 --> 00:08:34,200
the Old Madam
142
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:36,428
that the two of them were fated to clash.
143
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:37,658
So
144
00:08:37,690 --> 00:08:40,269
Sorcerer Yu is the key to all of this.
145
00:08:40,288 --> 00:08:41,668
That was more than 20 years ago—
146
00:08:41,668 --> 00:08:43,029
and we don't even know this man.
147
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:44,759
How are we supposed to find him?
148
00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:47,029
Chief Steward Sun has served His Majesty
since childhood.
149
00:08:47,029 --> 00:08:47,730
With something this serious,
150
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:48,529
he must know about it.
151
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:49,129
All right.
152
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Go find Chief Steward Sun right now.
153
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:52,679
Now?
154
00:08:56,110 --> 00:08:57,710
Isn't it a bit too late?
155
00:08:58,460 --> 00:08:59,139
Mao Jin,
156
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,230
go with Bai Yu.
157
00:09:01,779 --> 00:09:03,799
If Chief Steward Sun loses his temper,
158
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,019
say you were sent
159
00:09:06,210 --> 00:09:07,470
on Lord Feng's orders.
160
00:09:07,669 --> 00:09:08,269
All right.
161
00:09:13,850 --> 00:09:14,850
Come on, let's go.
162
00:09:18,610 --> 00:09:19,250
Come on!
163
00:09:19,450 --> 00:09:20,529
Look at you!
164
00:09:22,539 --> 00:09:23,379
Attendant Bai,
165
00:09:23,379 --> 00:09:24,710
I'll go with you as well.
166
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:33,899
Xiangjiu,
167
00:09:34,179 --> 00:09:35,000
take a little rest for now.
168
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,799
We'll wait until they have news.
169
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,440
They're being all lovey-dovey again.
170
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,440
I really can't stand the two of them.
171
00:10:34,139 --> 00:10:36,320
Whose puppy is this, so white?
172
00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:41,919
You're so well-behaved.
173
00:10:43,649 --> 00:10:44,929
What's your name?
174
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,620
Where did you come from?
175
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,440
Can I be friends with you?
176
00:10:51,700 --> 00:10:53,200
Let me tell you a story.
177
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:55,000
This sunny spot
178
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,840
is mine.
179
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,100
If you become my friend,
180
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:58,299
then it's ours.
181
00:10:58,710 --> 00:10:59,679
I'll sleep a bit longer—
182
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,919
you can sleep here.
183
00:11:01,059 --> 00:11:02,720
You can use the flowers as a pillow.
184
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,779
I'm going to sleep.
185
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,879
Ah, this feels so nice.
186
00:11:09,379 --> 00:11:10,179
Xiangjiu.
187
00:11:11,149 --> 00:11:11,950
Xiangjiu?
188
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:16,149
Where's Xiangjiu?
189
00:11:22,210 --> 00:11:23,870
We spoke to Chief Steward Sun.
190
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,149
Back then, it was indeed Sorcerer Yu
191
00:11:26,149 --> 00:11:27,559
who entered the palace
and told the Old Madam
192
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,190
that Princess Ningshuang
and the Old Madam were fated to clash.
193
00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,789
Can we find this Sorcerer Yu?
194
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:34,200
It's said
195
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:35,409
that Sorcerer Yu
196
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,720
was recommended by one
of the palace's senior maids.
197
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,450
Chief Steward Sun didn't know
who that nanny was.
198
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:42,009
At the time, Chief Steward Sun
199
00:11:42,009 --> 00:11:43,720
thought Sorcerer Yu was highly capable,
200
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,659
so he asked him
201
00:11:45,769 --> 00:11:46,549
for this talisman of protection.
202
00:11:46,549 --> 00:11:48,480
He's worn it on him all these years.
203
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,570
There's a second person's scent on it.
204
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,299
Yes.
205
00:11:59,750 --> 00:12:02,200
This scent is different
from Chief Steward Sun's.
206
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Can you find him?
207
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,269
Rest assured, Master.
208
00:12:04,269 --> 00:12:06,450
If I can't even handle something
this minor,
209
00:12:06,450 --> 00:12:08,399
how could I ever stand guard
at the South Heavenly Gate
210
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,330
alongside Lord Howling Celestial Dog
in the future?
211
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,809
I'm tired.
212
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:30,840
Move aside.
213
00:12:32,649 --> 00:12:34,039
Go back to your attendant quarters
and sleep.
214
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:35,320
I won't bother her.
215
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:39,419
Wily Fox,
216
00:12:39,690 --> 00:12:41,289
don't force me to make a move!
217
00:12:49,629 --> 00:12:50,549
Unlock me!
218
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:05,289
Unlock me!
219
00:13:05,450 --> 00:13:06,529
You unlock me first.
220
00:13:06,529 --> 00:13:07,690
I can't unlock you at all.
221
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:08,789
Then I can't unlock you either.
222
00:13:08,789 --> 00:13:09,190
Fine—
223
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:11,279
then neither of us unlocks anything.
224
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:14,470
Hurry up and unlock me!
225
00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:15,629
Unlock me first.
226
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,029
Then no one unlocks anything.
227
00:13:17,029 --> 00:13:18,490
Let's just stay like this.
228
00:13:18,889 --> 00:13:19,929
So be it.
229
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:22,610
Are you going to unlock me?
230
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:23,740
I'll unlock you if you do.
231
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:24,799
I won't unlock you.
232
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:25,860
Then no one unlocks anything.
233
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:27,720
Fine. So be it.
234
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:29,470
I'm not unlocking you anyway.
235
00:13:38,690 --> 00:13:39,450
Ningshuang,
236
00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,129
the weather is quite nice today.
237
00:13:41,129 --> 00:13:42,389
Let's go out for a walk.
238
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Not today.
239
00:13:45,169 --> 00:13:47,299
I have something very important
to do.
240
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:49,480
Something very important?
241
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:54,269
Something I've wanted to do
242
00:13:55,179 --> 00:13:56,740
for more than 20 years.
243
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,600
Have all of this taken away.
244
00:14:13,450 --> 00:14:15,090
I have no appetite.
245
00:14:17,019 --> 00:14:17,860
Mother—
246
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:20,610
we finally meet.
247
00:14:38,389 --> 00:14:39,190
Old Fox,
248
00:14:41,610 --> 00:14:43,210
has Mao Jin brought any news?
249
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,759
The answer
250
00:14:45,059 --> 00:14:46,419
will surprise you.
251
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,000
Bad news!
252
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:53,470
Princess Ningshuang has forced her way
into Kunning Palace!
253
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:54,230
What?
254
00:14:54,529 --> 00:14:55,330
Get out!
255
00:14:55,750 --> 00:14:56,590
Get out!
256
00:14:57,899 --> 00:14:59,360
Who allowed you to come in?
257
00:15:01,529 --> 00:15:03,169
Didn't I issue a decree
258
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,620
forbidding you from coming anywhere
near Kunning Palace?
259
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:08,679
I once imagined countless versions
260
00:15:09,509 --> 00:15:11,669
of our first meeting.
261
00:15:12,529 --> 00:15:13,330
This—
262
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,220
your desperate attempt to drive me away—
263
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:18,440
was one of them.
264
00:15:18,950 --> 00:15:19,950
Enough.
265
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:22,470
I don't want to hear it.
266
00:15:23,129 --> 00:15:24,289
Stop talking.
267
00:15:25,370 --> 00:15:26,490
Get out!
268
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,080
Get out!
269
00:15:30,789 --> 00:15:32,350
I beg you—
270
00:15:32,970 --> 00:15:34,330
leave now!
271
00:15:35,809 --> 00:15:36,809
Guards!
272
00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:38,970
Guards!
273
00:15:39,169 --> 00:15:41,129
Do you despise me that much?
274
00:15:43,059 --> 00:15:44,179
If so,
275
00:15:44,460 --> 00:15:46,990
why did you give birth to me
in the first place?
276
00:15:47,059 --> 00:15:48,139
Ningshuang,
277
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,639
just assume you never had me
as your mother.
278
00:15:57,340 --> 00:15:59,340
The bond between us
279
00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:02,590
was severed long ago.
280
00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,409
Do you think I wanted to see you
all these years
281
00:16:21,460 --> 00:16:24,059
to rekindle some
mother–daughter affection?
282
00:16:26,059 --> 00:16:27,100
You're wrong.
283
00:16:29,019 --> 00:16:31,250
Whatever bond existed between us
284
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,629
will be cut
285
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:34,450
by my own hand.
286
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:39,409
Since you hate me so deeply,
287
00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:41,960
I'll give this life
288
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,840
back to you.
289
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:45,370
No!
290
00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:47,220
Ningshuang, no!
291
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,690
No!
292
00:17:20,088 --> 00:17:20,868
No!
293
00:17:21,328 --> 00:17:24,009
Old Madam!
294
00:17:29,059 --> 00:17:30,779
Why would Mother save me?
295
00:17:31,339 --> 00:17:33,380
She must have felt guilty toward you
296
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:35,180
and wanted to make amends to you.
297
00:17:39,730 --> 00:17:40,529
Madam Chen,
298
00:17:41,710 --> 00:17:43,069
from now on,
299
00:17:43,809 --> 00:17:45,029
you're the only family I have.
300
00:17:45,029 --> 00:17:46,130
Don't worry.
301
00:17:46,490 --> 00:17:47,650
Haven't we always
302
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,519
relied on each other,
like mother and daughter, all these years?
303
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:02,869
What are you doing here?
304
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:04,799
Your Highness,
305
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:06,839
I've brought someone to see you.
306
00:18:07,109 --> 00:18:07,829
Leave.
307
00:18:08,569 --> 00:18:10,029
I don't want to see anyone.
308
00:18:10,539 --> 00:18:11,500
I can leave—
309
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,079
but this person,
310
00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:14,680
you must see.
311
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,240
He is the accomplice
312
00:18:18,700 --> 00:18:21,230
who caused you and your mother
to be separated
313
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,619
for more than 20 years.
314
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:26,069
Kneel!
315
00:18:28,009 --> 00:18:28,869
Your Highness.
316
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:30,440
Your Highness, please spare my life!
317
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,339
Back then, the Old Madam
318
00:18:31,339 --> 00:18:32,420
did not abandon Your Highness
319
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:34,599
because of an inauspicious omen
surrounding the birth.
320
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,000
The true reason was that,
321
00:18:36,019 --> 00:18:38,269
from infancy, Your Highness
322
00:18:38,289 --> 00:18:39,809
was frequently ill.
323
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:40,740
Thus, the Old Madam
324
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:43,609
summoned this Sorcerer Yu
into the palace to perform rites.
325
00:18:43,609 --> 00:18:44,829
It was also he
326
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,000
who declared that the Old Madam
and Your Highness
327
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,299
were fated to be incompatible—
that her proximity
328
00:18:50,299 --> 00:18:51,970
would bring misfortune upon Your Highness
329
00:18:51,970 --> 00:18:53,559
and even endanger
Your Highness's very life.
330
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:54,420
Your Highness,
331
00:18:54,859 --> 00:18:56,259
I have committed a grave offense.
332
00:18:56,259 --> 00:18:57,299
I deserve to die.
333
00:18:57,500 --> 00:18:58,359
Your Highness,
334
00:18:58,660 --> 00:18:59,660
please spare my life!
335
00:18:59,660 --> 00:19:00,299
Your Highness,
336
00:19:00,299 --> 00:19:01,500
please spare my life!
337
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:03,059
Please spare my life,
338
00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:03,660
Your Highness!
339
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:04,720
You deserve to die—
340
00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:07,190
but someone else deserves it even more.
341
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,970
What do you mean by that?
342
00:19:10,049 --> 00:19:11,269
As I said just now,
343
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,819
he was only an accomplice.
344
00:19:13,259 --> 00:19:15,259
The real culprit is you—
345
00:19:16,809 --> 00:19:17,890
Madam Chen!
346
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,720
I truly have no idea
what you're talking about.
347
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:28,529
According to
the palace's official records,
348
00:19:28,529 --> 00:19:29,329
it was
349
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,130
a senior maid serving the Old Madam
350
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,099
who proposed summoning
a renowned sorcerer to the palace
351
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,480
to perform an exorcism for Her Highness.
352
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:40,809
Coincidentally,
353
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,819
this Sorcerer Yu
354
00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:46,079
turned out to be Madam Chen's cousin.
355
00:19:46,509 --> 00:19:50,019
May I ask—was the senior maid who made
that proposal Madam Chen yourself?
356
00:19:50,019 --> 00:19:51,380
So, what if it was me?
357
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:54,059
As the saying goes, "not to shy away
from recommending one's own kin."
358
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:55,420
Her Highness was frequently ill
at the time.
359
00:19:55,420 --> 00:19:57,039
I was worried about Her Highness.
360
00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,859
And my cousin happened to be
a sorcerer of some attainment—
361
00:19:59,859 --> 00:20:02,759
what was wrong
with inviting him into the palace?
362
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:05,769
Your cousin has already confessed.
363
00:20:05,769 --> 00:20:07,970
He was no accomplished sorcerer at all—
364
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:10,960
just an ignorant good-for-nothing.
365
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:14,779
It was you who arranged for him
to enter the palace,
366
00:20:15,099 --> 00:20:16,259
and it was also you
367
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:18,069
who instructed him to say
368
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,680
that Her Highness and the Old Madam
were fated to clash.
369
00:20:22,740 --> 00:20:23,940
Nonsense!
370
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:25,380
Huo Xiangjiu,
371
00:20:25,829 --> 00:20:27,690
what exactly are you trying to do?
372
00:20:29,539 --> 00:20:32,200
You schemed repeatedly
to stay in Ningshuang Palace—
373
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,000
I realized long ago
that you were not a good person.
374
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,130
So, this was your plan:
to sow discord and frame me.
375
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,839
Do you really think
376
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:42,640
Her Highness will believe
your wild accusations?
377
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,339
Your Highness,
378
00:20:48,130 --> 00:20:49,349
these medicinal herbs
379
00:20:49,349 --> 00:20:52,710
were just found in Madam Chen's room.
380
00:20:53,309 --> 00:20:55,009
We've already had
the imperial physicians examine them.
381
00:20:55,009 --> 00:20:56,130
Some can
382
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,630
induce unconsciousness;
383
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,359
others cause dizziness.
384
00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:01,960
Their effects closely match
the symptoms displayed
385
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,490
when Your Highness
suddenly fell ill before.
386
00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,210
I also have here a bottle of red liquid.
387
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,059
When the water
388
00:21:22,059 --> 00:21:25,259
in Your Highness's bathing tub
suddenly turned into blood,
389
00:21:25,259 --> 00:21:26,720
this must be what was used.
390
00:21:27,619 --> 00:21:29,099
And at the time,
391
00:21:29,700 --> 00:21:31,500
there was no one else in the room.
392
00:21:35,859 --> 00:21:37,460
Ghost!
393
00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:38,940
Madam Chen.
394
00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:47,109
Your Highness,
395
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:48,240
don't believe her.
396
00:21:48,369 --> 00:21:49,619
None of these things belong to me—
397
00:21:49,619 --> 00:21:51,059
they're framing me!
398
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:52,319
Sis,
399
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,720
just admit it.
400
00:21:53,740 --> 00:21:55,180
They already know everything.
401
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:56,240
You wretched fool!
402
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,900
How much did they give you
403
00:21:57,930 --> 00:21:59,589
to make you falsely accuse me?
404
00:22:01,980 --> 00:22:02,839
Your Highness,
405
00:22:03,009 --> 00:22:04,400
please don't believe them.
406
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,119
My cousin is a gambler.
407
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:07,500
He's always borrowing money from me.
408
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:08,660
When I refused to lend it to him,
409
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,420
he turned around and framed me.
410
00:22:11,509 --> 00:22:12,019
Your Highness.
411
00:22:12,019 --> 00:22:12,980
Madam Chen,
412
00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:16,150
you stole someone else's child
for more than 20 years,
413
00:22:16,150 --> 00:22:19,079
and even now you still want
to argue your way out of it.
414
00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:22,720
You act as if you believe
that until all is lost, nothing is lost.
415
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,460
I have here a letter
416
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,440
Madam Chen wrote to her cousin back then.
417
00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:31,450
I'll read it for everyone.
418
00:22:34,849 --> 00:22:36,450
Dear brother,
419
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:37,839
Recently,
420
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,019
the Old Madam went into labor
421
00:22:39,019 --> 00:22:40,099
and gave birth to a princess,
422
00:22:40,099 --> 00:22:41,460
bestowed with the name Ningshuang—
423
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:42,839
lovely and dearly cherished.
424
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:44,980
I entered the palace years ago
to serve the Old Madam,
425
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:46,119
yet I have no children of my own
426
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,460
and feel deeply lonely.
427
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,279
If you can help me seize the princess,
428
00:22:50,349 --> 00:22:52,410
then in the future, glory and riches
429
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,000
shall be ours to share.
430
00:22:55,690 --> 00:22:58,009
Didn't I tell you
to burn all the letters?
431
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,200
I...
432
00:23:05,559 --> 00:23:06,490
What did you say?
433
00:23:09,299 --> 00:23:10,099
She said,
434
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,220
"Didn't I tell you
to burn all the letters? "
435
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:12,759
I...
436
00:23:13,339 --> 00:23:14,799
I really did burn them all!
437
00:23:20,329 --> 00:23:21,369
Then what is this?
438
00:23:23,430 --> 00:23:26,259
{\an8}[Those who take children from
their parents shall die a miserable death]
439
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:27,480
It's fake!
440
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:32,940
You set me up!
441
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:39,380
Your Highness.
442
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:40,299
Ningshuang.
443
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:41,759
Your Highness.
444
00:23:41,819 --> 00:23:42,740
Ningshuang.
445
00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:45,940
You know how much I love you,
446
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:46,690
don't you?
447
00:23:46,819 --> 00:23:47,809
From the time you were little,
448
00:23:47,809 --> 00:23:50,299
I've always treated you
as my own daughter.
449
00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:51,190
You even said it yourself—
450
00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:52,710
I was your real mother,
451
00:23:53,369 --> 00:23:54,369
didn't you?
452
00:23:54,410 --> 00:23:55,369
Ningshuang, don't—
453
00:23:55,369 --> 00:23:56,390
don't believe
what they're saying, all right?
454
00:23:56,390 --> 00:23:57,829
She has a mother.
455
00:23:58,539 --> 00:24:01,349
And her mother's love for her
is the only true maternal love.
456
00:24:01,349 --> 00:24:03,470
Yours is nothing but a thief's love.
457
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:05,789
What right do you have
to say that about me?
458
00:24:05,789 --> 00:24:08,650
You don't understand my love
for Ningshuang at all!
459
00:24:09,230 --> 00:24:10,549
Only a thief
460
00:24:10,930 --> 00:24:13,529
would claim someone else's child
as their own.
461
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:14,750
It's not like that!
462
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,059
Ningshuang,
463
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,019
no!
464
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:23,190
This wasn't my fault!
465
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:41,720
True maternal love means
466
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:45,059
that as long as one's child
is safe and well,
467
00:24:45,220 --> 00:24:47,549
a mother is willing to give up everything—
468
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:51,039
even if it means hiding in the shadows
469
00:24:51,420 --> 00:24:53,480
and being regarded as an evil spirit.
470
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,039
From this day forward,
471
00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:58,869
you are forbidden to come anywhere
near Kunning Palace.
472
00:24:58,869 --> 00:24:59,950
Any violation of this order
473
00:24:59,950 --> 00:25:03,230
shall be treated
as an act of assassination.
474
00:25:04,829 --> 00:25:07,230
As long as the child is safe and well,
475
00:25:07,849 --> 00:25:10,009
that is everything to a mother.
476
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:20,940
Huo Xiangjiu,
477
00:25:22,259 --> 00:25:23,299
thank you.
478
00:26:02,509 --> 00:26:03,509
Ningshuang,
479
00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:05,440
don't come any closer.
480
00:26:05,630 --> 00:26:06,849
You'll be in danger.
481
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,359
Don't come near me—
482
00:26:09,869 --> 00:26:11,220
you'll be in danger.
483
00:26:11,509 --> 00:26:14,349
Go! Leave now!
484
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:42,240
No!
485
00:26:42,269 --> 00:26:42,940
Your Highness.
486
00:26:42,940 --> 00:26:43,480
Let go of me!
487
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,180
Let go of me!
488
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:44,500
No!
489
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:45,539
Your Highness!
490
00:26:48,779 --> 00:26:53,220
Your Highness!
491
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,539
I don't want to leave you!
492
00:26:57,539 --> 00:27:00,059
What's past is past—
493
00:27:00,059 --> 00:27:03,339
why do you keep clinging to it?
494
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,559
Your Highness, please don't!
495
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:06,599
I don't know why,
496
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,839
but whenever I recall
497
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,769
those scenes of us sharing such tender
moments as mother and daughter,
498
00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:16,230
I can't help thinking of my own mother—
499
00:27:16,539 --> 00:27:19,680
and the pain she endured
while longing for me.
500
00:27:21,769 --> 00:27:25,460
At the very moment you and I were enjoying
our bond as mother and daughter,
501
00:27:25,460 --> 00:27:26,769
my mother
502
00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:30,019
was suffering immense pain.
503
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,240
We are both accomplices in her misery.
504
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,839
We must both atone.
505
00:27:46,410 --> 00:27:48,009
The way I atone
506
00:27:48,890 --> 00:27:50,690
is by devoting the rest of my life
507
00:27:51,059 --> 00:27:52,660
to honoring her all the more.
508
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,759
And the way you atone
509
00:27:56,740 --> 00:27:58,390
is by spending the rest of your life
510
00:27:58,390 --> 00:27:59,990
experiencing her pain.
511
00:28:00,009 --> 00:28:00,869
No! No!
512
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:01,480
Please don't, Your Highness!
513
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,180
I beg you!
514
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
No!
515
00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:04,210
I don't want to leave you!
516
00:28:04,210 --> 00:28:05,220
I'll do anything for you—
517
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:07,039
I'll do the same
for the Old Madam too, all right?
518
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:08,599
Just give me another chance, please!
519
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:09,779
Your Highness, forgive me!
520
00:28:09,779 --> 00:28:11,119
Please forgive me!
521
00:28:12,059 --> 00:28:14,319
It's not that I don't want
to forgive you.
522
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:16,359
I simply have no right to.
523
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:16,940
You do!
524
00:28:16,970 --> 00:28:18,430
Your Highness, how could you not?
525
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:19,220
Your Highness, you do,
526
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:20,019
don't you?
527
00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:22,349
Ningshuang,
528
00:28:22,369 --> 00:28:24,690
let me out! Ningshuang!
529
00:28:25,049 --> 00:28:26,529
Ningshuang!
530
00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:29,920
Ningshuang!
531
00:28:31,009 --> 00:28:31,970
I will
532
00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:33,549
take you horseback riding.
533
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,960
I will brush your hair, okay?
534
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:36,759
I...
535
00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:37,240
Do you still remember?
536
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,960
I used to nurse you.
537
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:44,039
Ningshuang…
538
00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:52,420
{\an8}[Kunning Palace]

Mother.
540
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:52,200
I'm fine.
541
00:28:53,019 --> 00:28:54,220
I'm sorry, Mother.
542
00:28:54,809 --> 00:28:55,940
This is all my fault—
543
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:57,720
I truly deserve to die.
544
00:28:58,819 --> 00:29:00,549
This has nothing to do with you.
545
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,720
If it weren't for what happened,
546
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,089
how could I have ever looked
at you from so close?
547
00:29:09,559 --> 00:29:11,680
This is the first time in 20 years
548
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,339
that I've been able
549
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:16,319
to look at you this closely.
550
00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:19,740
Mother,
551
00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:21,460
from now on,
552
00:29:21,460 --> 00:29:24,059
you can look at me
this closely every day.
553
00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:26,759
Mother—are you happy?
554
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,400
I am happy.
555
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:31,819
But...
556
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,000
But what?
557
00:29:38,019 --> 00:29:38,900
Never mind.
558
00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:42,140
These were picked this morning.
559
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,680
Have a taste.
560
00:29:46,740 --> 00:29:47,640
Mother, you even know
561
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,759
that I like these.
562
00:29:50,579 --> 00:29:51,450
And yet,
563
00:29:51,579 --> 00:29:54,480
I don't know anything
about you at all, Mother.
564
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:57,519
What is there to fear?
565
00:29:58,119 --> 00:29:59,980
We have plenty of time ahead of us.
566
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:01,440
Then, Mother,
567
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,819
let's start with
568
00:30:02,819 --> 00:30:05,079
what you were hesitating to say just now.
569
00:30:06,230 --> 00:30:07,230
Whatever it is,
570
00:30:07,509 --> 00:30:08,809
tell me—
571
00:30:08,859 --> 00:30:09,599
will you?
572
00:30:12,109 --> 00:30:14,190
How did you
573
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:17,390
end up growing all wrong?
574
00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:23,430
You're not even half
as good-looking as me.
575
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,559
Mother, just how beautiful am I?
576
00:30:30,339 --> 00:30:31,079
Mother,
577
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,079
do you know
578
00:30:32,420 --> 00:30:35,220
why Heaven chose to have me born
within the palace?
579
00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:39,950
If someone as beautiful as I had been born
among the common folk,
580
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,859
any man in the realm
who laid eyes on me
581
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:46,650
would probably
582
00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:48,680
be fighting over me.
583
00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:50,339
All those
584
00:30:50,450 --> 00:30:52,369
bloody cases—
585
00:30:54,839 --> 00:30:55,720
I think
586
00:30:55,940 --> 00:30:57,390
they'd exhaust the magistrates.
587
00:30:57,390 --> 00:31:01,029
Are men nowadays truly
so lacking in discernment?
588
00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:02,420
Mother!
589
00:31:04,890 --> 00:31:06,390
Then if that's the case,
590
00:31:06,869 --> 00:31:09,390
why are you still unmarried?
591
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:11,119
I...
592
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,519
You're about the age.
593
00:31:15,349 --> 00:31:17,569
It's time to arrange a marriage
for you.
594
00:31:19,059 --> 00:31:20,839
I don't want to!
595
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:21,880
Mother,
596
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,460
we've only just been reunited,
597
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:25,460
and you already want to marry me off?
598
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,039
I want to stay by your side
every day, Mother.
599
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:33,619
All right, all right—
600
00:31:33,619 --> 00:31:36,420
stay by my side every day.
601
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:40,440
A child's feelings
602
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:44,160
are always felt twice as strongly
by their parents.
603
00:31:44,539 --> 00:31:45,819
When a child is in pain,
604
00:31:46,670 --> 00:31:48,410
the parents suffer even more.
605
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:50,940
When a child is happy,
606
00:31:51,670 --> 00:31:54,069
the parents' happiness
is doubled as well.
607
00:31:59,859 --> 00:32:01,539
If my mother were still alive…
608
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:04,440
how wonderful that would be.
609
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,799
I can barely remember
610
00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:11,430
Your mother
611
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,490
must have been
612
00:32:13,490 --> 00:32:14,289
intelligent,
613
00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:15,589
lovely,
614
00:32:16,109 --> 00:32:16,910
beautiful,
615
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,440
kind,
616
00:32:19,259 --> 00:32:20,059
brave,
617
00:32:20,779 --> 00:32:21,819
and righteous.
618
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:24,640
How do you know?
619
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:30,569
Every mother leaves her mark
on her child—
620
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:34,519
and in you,
621
00:32:36,069 --> 00:32:37,470
I can see her.
622
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,680
Steamed buns.
623
00:33:26,289 --> 00:33:28,690
Ningshuang,
do you want some steamed buns?
624
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:32,069
Let me feed you.
625
00:33:32,670 --> 00:33:34,119
Eat up.
626
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:38,430
Good girl.
627
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,569
Ningshuang, you're so beautiful.
628
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:51,160
You love it best when I comb your hair.
629
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Don't cry.
630
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:55,809
Sweetheart.
631
00:33:55,809 --> 00:33:59,140
Ningshuang, stop crying.
632
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:02,640
I love you the most.
633
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,440
Right?
634
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:05,230
They're all bad people.
635
00:34:05,329 --> 00:34:06,170
Bad people—
636
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,640
all of them.
637
00:34:07,670 --> 00:34:09,119
They want to tear us apart.
638
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:10,380
We won't be separated.
639
00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:11,840
Don't separate us.
640
00:34:12,349 --> 00:34:13,610
We won't be separated.
641
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,039
Not ever.
642
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,960
Together forever.
643
00:34:17,619 --> 00:34:19,780
We'll be together forever.
644
00:34:34,980 --> 00:34:37,159
I pay my respects to the Mentor of Virtue,
Compassion, Benevolence, Rectitude,
645
00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:38,510
Harmony, Wellness, Nurturance, Felicity,
646
00:34:38,510 --> 00:34:41,909
Illumination, Preparedness,
Solemnity, Humanity, and...
647
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:45,809
and Steadfastness…
648
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,920
I pay my respects to you, Mentor.
649
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,849
We pay our respects to you, Mentor.
650
00:34:53,619 --> 00:34:55,940
Is all this formality really necessary?
651
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:57,659
I gave you my word—
652
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,860
if you helped Mother and me reconcile,
653
00:34:59,889 --> 00:35:01,469
I would acknowledge you as my Mentor.
654
00:35:01,469 --> 00:35:02,530
I keep my promises.
655
00:35:14,039 --> 00:35:14,679
Mentor.
656
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:16,010
Your Highness.
657
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:18,260
What is it?
658
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:20,230
Do you remember
659
00:35:20,260 --> 00:35:22,260
the other matter I mentioned to you?
660
00:35:22,699 --> 00:35:24,010
Mentor, you mean
661
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:26,659
the 2 pages torn out
of the Ganquan Register?
662
00:35:26,659 --> 00:35:27,420
Yes.
663
00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:30,110
Why are you so desperate
to know about them?
664
00:35:33,460 --> 00:35:34,260
My father
665
00:35:34,630 --> 00:35:36,159
disappeared in the palace.
666
00:35:37,889 --> 00:35:39,730
Your father
667
00:35:40,170 --> 00:35:41,210
is a eunuch?
668
00:35:42,019 --> 00:35:42,960
No.
669
00:35:44,269 --> 00:35:44,989
My father
670
00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:47,309
is Huo Zhongren,
the Registrar of Bronze County.
671
00:35:47,309 --> 00:35:48,940
He entered the palace to present
a petition to His Majesty 2 years ago,
672
00:35:48,940 --> 00:35:50,590
and then vanished inside the palace.
673
00:35:50,590 --> 00:35:51,610
I've verified it—
674
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:53,960
the two missing pages
from the Ganquan Register
675
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,130
correspond exactly to the time
my father secretly entered the palace
676
00:35:56,130 --> 00:35:58,190
to seek an audience with His Majesty.
677
00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:00,119
Then why do you believe
678
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:03,139
those torn pages have anything
to do with me?
679
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:05,719
Your Highness,
680
00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:08,690
please just tell me what really happened.
681
00:36:09,659 --> 00:36:10,579
I...
682
00:36:18,019 --> 00:36:19,099
Mentor,
683
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:20,159
promise me this:
684
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:22,170
no matter what I'm about to say,
685
00:36:22,349 --> 00:36:23,789
you must stay calm.41949
