Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:09,820
Your Highness, everything you instructed
2
00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:11,539
has been taken care of.
3
00:00:11,539 --> 00:00:12,859
Huo Xiangjiu
4
00:00:12,859 --> 00:00:14,279
will soon
5
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:16,820
find her father.
6
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:18,980
She's getting the easy way out—
7
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:20,859
she deserved to die anyway.
8
00:00:20,859 --> 00:00:23,019
Saves us the trouble, I suppose.
9
00:00:23,019 --> 00:00:25,059
Someone who deserves death
10
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:26,500
will die without fail.
11
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:28,739
But weren't Your Highness
12
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:30,579
worried before
13
00:00:30,579 --> 00:00:31,820
that killing her
14
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:33,140
might provoke His Grace…
15
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:36,340
A dutiful daughter,
upon learning of her father's death,
16
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,799
is overwhelmed with grief
17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,759
and takes her own life
to follow him in death.
18
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:42,679
Such is
19
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:45,039
the very model of filial piety.
20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,140
Your Highness!
21
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,960
Your Highness,
22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,359
what are you doing here?
23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,099
Your Highness,
24
00:01:13,099 --> 00:01:14,340
why are you here?
25
00:01:15,659 --> 00:01:17,579
I brought some ginseng soup
26
00:01:17,579 --> 00:01:18,579
for His Highness.
27
00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:26,140
Honey,
28
00:01:26,539 --> 00:01:28,400
have you been standing here long?
29
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,379
Your Highness, you once reminded me
30
00:01:31,379 --> 00:01:32,659
not to disturb you
31
00:01:32,939 --> 00:01:34,870
while you're discussing matters.
32
00:01:35,978 --> 00:01:37,709
Honey, you are truly obedient.
33
00:01:40,299 --> 00:01:42,430
The weather has turned chilly lately.
34
00:01:42,459 --> 00:01:43,180
Honey,
35
00:01:43,379 --> 00:01:44,620
to avoid falling ill,
36
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:48,079
you should stay in your room for now
37
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,478
and not venture outside.
38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Yuan Xiang,
39
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,519
accompany the Princess Consort
at all times.
40
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,919
Get some rest.
41
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:11,439
Your health
42
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,139
has only just begun
to improve these past few days—
43
00:04:14,139 --> 00:04:16,338
you can't afford to let your guard down.
44
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,639
Y-
45
00:04:25,379 --> 00:04:26,579
You clumsy guard!
46
00:04:26,579 --> 00:04:27,500
Don't you know
47
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,959
that being badly frightened
can seriously harm one's health?
48
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,139
Miss Xiangjiu,
49
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,639
please stay.
50
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,360
I am
51
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Gongsun Hao.
52
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,019
I've heard that the long-standing conflict
between Princess Ningshuang
53
00:04:45,019 --> 00:04:46,300
and the Old Madam was finally resolved,
54
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,158
all thanks to your intervention.
55
00:04:49,939 --> 00:04:50,899
Oh, that matter—
56
00:04:51,980 --> 00:04:54,509
it was nothing more
than a misunderstanding.
57
00:04:58,658 --> 00:04:59,658
There is also something
58
00:04:59,658 --> 00:05:00,740
I'd like
59
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:02,620
to ask you to help with.
60
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:05,300
It is urgent—
61
00:05:05,459 --> 00:05:08,319
a matter of life and death
for the Princess Consort.
62
00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:15,339
Do you know what Gongsun Hao said to me?
63
00:05:15,699 --> 00:05:17,540
Whatever it is, it can wait…
64
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,160
It's about the Princess Consort, isn't it?
65
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,639
How did you know?
66
00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:27,980
You...
67
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,319
have you already found out everything?
68
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:31,120
Go to sleep.
69
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:34,899
You have nothing to say?
70
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,040
I do.
71
00:05:41,620 --> 00:05:42,519
Go to sleep.
72
00:05:45,459 --> 00:05:47,379
How can you be so indifferent?
73
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,699
Go to sleep.
74
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,600
Push me again and see what happens.
75
00:06:02,379 --> 00:06:04,040
So… we're sleeping like this?
76
00:06:05,139 --> 00:06:06,300
Yes, just like this.
77
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,300
Xiangjiu,
78
00:06:20,459 --> 00:06:22,259
there's news about your father.
79
00:06:22,819 --> 00:06:25,939
Last night, the Eastern Palace arrested
a palace servant for theft.
80
00:06:25,939 --> 00:06:26,959
Under intense interrogation,
81
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:28,040
it was discovered that 2 years ago,
82
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,779
after being caught stealing,
83
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:32,420
he beat an elderly palace servant
to death inside the palace.
84
00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:34,819
However, as the victim
had secretly entered the palace
85
00:06:34,819 --> 00:06:36,019
and had no official identity,
86
00:06:36,019 --> 00:06:38,220
the death had gone unnoticed until now.
87
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,879
Heaven-Mandated
88
00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:45,879
Celestial Lord
89
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:47,439
of Supreme Purity
90
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:50,100
and Ultimate Divinity
91
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,759
and the Mentor of Virtue,
Compassion, Benevolence, Rectitude,
92
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:54,519
Harmony, Wellness, Nurturance, Felicity,
93
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,360
Illumination, Preparedness,
Solemnity, Humanity,
94
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,319
Hmm.
95
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,639
Reverence, Admiration, Dedication,
and Nobility
96
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:01,420
are here.
97
00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:03,139
Stop looking.
98
00:07:03,139 --> 00:07:06,670
For the next few days,
stay put in your room and behave yourself.
99
00:07:07,939 --> 00:07:09,339
Has His Grace arrived?
100
00:07:09,540 --> 00:07:10,870
So what if His Grace has?
101
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,120
The last time I met the Mentor,
102
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,889
we talked about ornaments.
103
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,360
She said
104
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,259
she was very fond of items
made from combed silk.
105
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:23,319
I mentioned that I happened
to have a combed silk hairpin
106
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:24,980
and promised to give it to her.
107
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:26,819
Since she's here now,
108
00:07:26,819 --> 00:07:28,220
I'd like to give it to her—
109
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:29,149
so she won't have
110
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,759
to ask me for it later.
111
00:07:32,139 --> 00:07:34,339
Your Highness, you're truly generous—
112
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,180
such a fine hairpin,
and you're just giving it away?
113
00:07:39,579 --> 00:07:41,100
I've served you for so long
114
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:43,360
and never received any treasure myself.
115
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,079
These earrings
116
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:56,720
were a gift from His Highness back then.
117
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,040
The craftsmanship is exquisite—
118
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,370
far superior to that combed silk hairpin.
119
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,759
If you like them,
120
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:05,279
I'll give them to you.
121
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,620
All right then.
122
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,240
I'll deliver the combed silk hairpin
123
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,439
to her on your behalf.
124
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:26,519
What brings
125
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:29,620
Your Grace to the Eastern Palace?
126
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,639
Is he
127
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:33,740
the thief the Eastern Palace
apprehended last night?
128
00:08:33,740 --> 00:08:34,668
That's correct.
129
00:08:36,158 --> 00:08:38,200
His name is Zhang Jia.
130
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,200
His Highness
131
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,360
intended to hand him over
to the Ministry of Justice.
132
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,860
This matter hardly
warrants troubling His Grace—
133
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:45,779
unless
134
00:08:45,779 --> 00:08:48,799
he also stole something
from the Fucang Palace?
135
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,539
Two years ago,
136
00:08:50,539 --> 00:08:53,059
did he beat a palace servant to death?
137
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,779
After we caught him last night,
138
00:08:55,779 --> 00:08:56,879
his skills suggested
139
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:58,480
he was a habitual offender,
140
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,009
so we subjected him
to severe interrogation.
141
00:09:01,059 --> 00:09:01,820
Turned out
142
00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:03,440
he was spineless—
143
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,919
after just a few blows,
144
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:07,200
he confessed to many crimes,
145
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,779
including the killing
of the palace servant.
146
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:13,990
I will interrogate him myself.
147
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:21,620
Since His Grace is questioning you,
148
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,200
answer truthfully—
149
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,720
so you won't have to suffer
further corporal punishment.
150
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,159
As long as I'm not beaten again,
151
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:30,100
I'll tell the truth,
152
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:30,960
I swear.
153
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,759
Let me ask you.
154
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:36,919
Answer me—
155
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,519
are you
156
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:40,919
adept at lying?
157
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,840
I am not good at lying.
158
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:47,120
Not good at lying?
159
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,179
That statement itself
160
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,639
is a lie.
161
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:55,240
You've stolen within the palace for years
162
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,120
without
163
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,360
being discovered—
164
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,240
even after killing someone
and covering it up.
165
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,320
That speaks to a meticulous mind.
166
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:03,799
By that logic,
167
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,480
your claim
168
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:07,399
that you're not good at lying
169
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,879
is itself a lie.
170
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Please spare my life, Your Grace.
171
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Spare my life, Your Grace
172
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,980
Please spare my life, Your Grace.
173
00:10:15,580 --> 00:10:16,379
Since
174
00:10:17,379 --> 00:10:18,980
you may lie again,
175
00:10:19,820 --> 00:10:21,679
I will make an agreement with you.
176
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:24,370
What kind of agreement?
177
00:10:24,620 --> 00:10:26,340
For every lie you tell,
178
00:10:26,539 --> 00:10:27,500
I will
179
00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:29,460
sever one of your limbs.
180
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:39,200
You have 5…
181
00:10:39,779 --> 00:10:40,740
no—
182
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:43,340
4 chances to lie.
183
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:45,100
Cherish them carefully.
184
00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:48,059
What are you staring at?
185
00:10:48,379 --> 00:10:49,779
Whatever His Grace asks,
186
00:10:49,899 --> 00:10:52,000
just answer truthfully.
187
00:10:59,279 --> 00:10:59,960
Your Grace,
188
00:11:03,659 --> 00:11:05,190
this is the Eastern Palace.
189
00:11:06,139 --> 00:11:08,259
Splattering blood
all over the Eastern Palace...
190
00:11:08,259 --> 00:11:09,960
wouldn't that be rather inappropriate?
191
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,000
If he doesn't lie,
192
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:12,860
won't everything be fine?
193
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:14,919
And if what he says is true,
194
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:16,809
yet you mistake it for a lie—
195
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:19,159
what is to be done then?
196
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Misfortune
197
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:22,840
happens every day,
198
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,039
doesn't it?
199
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,740
Answer me—
200
00:11:30,019 --> 00:11:30,940
2 years ago,
201
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,169
did you beat a palace servant to death?
202
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,769
His Grace is asking you a question.
203
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:45,519
Tell the truth now,
204
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:46,600
exactly as you did
205
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,659
during last night's interrogation.
206
00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:54,850
Yes, your Grace.
207
00:11:55,820 --> 00:11:57,220
Where did you kill him?
208
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:00,759
That night
209
00:12:01,419 --> 00:12:03,279
I went to Ganquan Palace to steal.
210
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:05,200
I happened to run into him.
211
00:12:06,299 --> 00:12:07,559
He looked unfamiliar—
212
00:12:07,820 --> 00:12:09,480
didn't seem to belong to Ganquan Palace—
213
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:10,799
so I hardened my heart
214
00:12:11,019 --> 00:12:12,100
and killed him.
215
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,500
What did he look like?
216
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,080
He was a little over six feet tall,
217
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:20,399
thin in build,
218
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:22,440
and about 50 years old.
219
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:41,879
Come here.
220
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:03,639
What for?
221
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:04,980
The Princess Consort said
222
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:06,340
she previously promised
to give Huo Xiangjiu
223
00:13:06,340 --> 00:13:07,799
this combed silk hairpin.
224
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:08,620
Take a look—
225
00:13:08,620 --> 00:13:10,419
do you see anything suspicious?
226
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,759
It's just an ordinary
combed silk hairpin.
227
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:15,120
Nothing suspicious.
228
00:13:18,259 --> 00:13:21,220
Then deliver it to Huo Xiangjiu
on the Princess Consort's behalf.
229
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:22,019
Come back—
230
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,279
how about keeping me company tonight?
231
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:31,000
His Highness is right inside.
232
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,279
Aren't you afraid he'll hear?
233
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:34,740
He hardly has time for me right now.
234
00:13:38,419 --> 00:13:41,340
If His Highness
doesn't summon me tonight,
235
00:13:41,940 --> 00:13:43,220
I'll come to you.
236
00:13:44,860 --> 00:13:47,139
I'll be waiting.
237
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,559
Where was the body hidden?
238
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,279
It was thrown
239
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:57,519
into the
240
00:13:57,639 --> 00:13:58,440
w-well
241
00:13:58,639 --> 00:13:59,970
in the Imperial Garden.
242
00:14:04,340 --> 00:14:05,559
Miss Xiangjiu,
this is
243
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,159
the combed silk hairpin
that the Princess Consort promised you.
244
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,519
Your Grace,
245
00:14:19,379 --> 00:14:21,509
what's the matter with Miss Xiangjiu?
246
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,139
Old Fox, what are you trying to do?
247
00:14:29,139 --> 00:14:31,539
I've already sent Mao Jin
and Le Ning there.
248
00:14:32,179 --> 00:14:32,620
No.
249
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,759
I'm going to the Imperial Garden myself.
250
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:35,460
Even if you go now,
251
00:14:35,460 --> 00:14:36,860
you won't find anything.
252
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,679
Why are you so certain?
253
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:42,590
Concern clouds your judgment.
254
00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:43,799
Don't you think
255
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:44,860
the Crown Prince was worried
256
00:14:44,860 --> 00:14:47,120
that Zhang Jia might say the wrong thing?
257
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:48,360
Yes.
258
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,200
The 2 missing pages
from the Ganquan Register
259
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,129
should have nothing to do with him.
260
00:14:57,399 --> 00:14:58,519
Are you saying
261
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,220
all of this
262
00:15:00,779 --> 00:15:02,509
was arranged by Prince Fuying?
263
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:05,320
Did they believe it?
264
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:10,740
So you really
265
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:14,259
did hear everything last night,
in the reception hall.
266
00:15:14,259 --> 00:15:16,419
I may not agree with what you're doing,
267
00:15:17,179 --> 00:15:19,059
but since you insist,
268
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:20,860
as your wife,
269
00:15:21,179 --> 00:15:23,419
I will support your decision.
270
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:33,730
Aren't you even curious
271
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:37,179
why I did this?
272
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:39,000
It doesn't matter
273
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:41,000
whether I know.
274
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:43,820
Was this arranged by Prince Fuying?
275
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:46,220
Why would he do all this?
276
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:48,470
There's only one possibility:
277
00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:50,679
he knows who your father is,
278
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:53,639
and he doesn't want you
to keep investigating.
279
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,639
What matters is
280
00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:02,440
that from the moment you tried
to mislead Huo Xiangjiu,
281
00:16:02,899 --> 00:16:04,559
you were already telling her…
282
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,620
He was involved
283
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,639
in my father's death.
284
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:13,480
Master,
285
00:16:14,059 --> 00:16:15,960
we checked that well
in the Imperial Garden.
286
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,659
It leads to the moat.
287
00:16:17,659 --> 00:16:19,159
The moat connects to the river—
288
00:16:19,159 --> 00:16:20,960
how are we supposed to find anything now?
289
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,419
If this has nothing to do
with Prince Fuying,
290
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,000
I really can't understand
291
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,129
why he would do this.
292
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,980
I'll confront Prince Fuying.
293
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:32,009
With no evidence at all,
294
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,659
why would he ever admit it?
295
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:41,580
This combed silk hairpin
296
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:44,580
was sent to me
by the Princess Consort through Gao Wei.
297
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:47,500
She said she'd promised it to me earlier.
298
00:16:48,419 --> 00:16:49,860
But we
299
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,519
never talked about this at all.
300
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,820
What a beautiful hairpin!
301
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,279
Maybe she gave it to you
302
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,799
simply because she thought it was lovely?
303
00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:00,759
If that were the case,
304
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:03,559
she could have given it to me herself.
305
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:05,289
Why send someone else instead?
306
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,480
True.
307
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:12,440
We were at the Eastern Palace.
308
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,200
Logically speaking,
if Xiangjiu is acquainted with her,
309
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,200
she should have come out to greet us.
310
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,200
She was probably not able
to move about.
311
00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:21,358
She can't even move about...
312
00:17:22,598 --> 00:17:25,000
but she still sent someone
to bring it to me?
313
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,440
Could it be
314
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,569
that she wants you to do something
with this hairpin?
315
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:31,599
A hairpin is
316
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,119
for pinning up your hair.
317
00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:34,799
What else would it be for?
318
00:17:35,380 --> 00:17:36,680
It could also be used to kill someone.
319
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Look,
320
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,640
how sharp it is.
321
00:17:41,059 --> 00:17:43,940
The Princess Consort wants Xiangjiu
to kill someone with it?
322
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:45,779
You really have quite an imagination.
323
00:17:45,779 --> 00:17:46,579
Then what—
324
00:17:46,779 --> 00:17:47,759
suicide?
325
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,220
Commit suicide?
326
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,180
Combed silk...
327
00:17:55,619 --> 00:17:56,700
Commit suicide...
328
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,450
She's trying to warn you
329
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:02,089
that someone may force you
to commit suicide.
330
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,319
I need to see Song Lian.
331
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:08,720
She must know something.
332
00:18:08,859 --> 00:18:10,259
If she really did know something,
333
00:18:10,259 --> 00:18:12,140
it would be very hard
for you to see her now.
334
00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:14,720
Prince Fuying would
have her under tight watch.
335
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,200
I've thought of an intermediary.
336
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,460
She's the best choice.
337
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,599
You're saying…
338
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,480
your father's disappearance
is connected to Prince Fuying.
339
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,220
Otherwise, there's no way to explain
340
00:18:30,220 --> 00:18:31,759
why he did all those things.
341
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Song Lian should know some of the truth.
342
00:18:35,819 --> 00:18:37,059
Who is Song Lian?
343
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,259
The Princess Consort.
344
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:40,700
She's your sister-in-law—
345
00:18:40,700 --> 00:18:42,700
how could you not even know her name?
346
00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:43,980
After she entered the palace,
347
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:45,680
everyone just called her
Princess Consort.
348
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,809
How am I supposed to remember all that?
349
00:18:48,140 --> 00:18:49,740
But she's the Princess Consort—
350
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:51,069
can she really help you?
351
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:53,140
She's not the same as Prince Fuying.
352
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:54,460
And
353
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,740
I only just learned
354
00:18:57,819 --> 00:19:00,019
that she was forced
to marry Prince Fuying.
355
00:19:00,019 --> 00:19:01,259
Bastard!
356
00:19:02,180 --> 00:19:03,019
Do you know
357
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:05,779
which royal line she comes from?
358
00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:08,880
Why didn't her family help her at all?
359
00:19:11,539 --> 00:19:14,579
She's just a girl
from an ordinary farming family.
360
00:19:15,299 --> 00:19:16,019
Years ago,
361
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:17,579
Father went hunting
362
00:19:17,859 --> 00:19:20,119
and chased his prey
to the edge of a cliff.
363
00:19:20,259 --> 00:19:20,900
He slipped
364
00:19:21,019 --> 00:19:21,779
and fell,
365
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,559
and she saved him.
366
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:25,799
She took care of Father day and night,
367
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:26,880
and Father came
368
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,279
to value her greatly.
369
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Presumably,
370
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:32,759
Prince Fuying forced the marriage
371
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,019
to win Father's favor.
372
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,920
No wonder His Majesty treated her so well—
373
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,039
so that's how it all began.
374
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,460
The Princess Consort
375
00:19:42,460 --> 00:19:43,819
has had a cruel fate.
376
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:46,279
Not long after she married,
377
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:47,210
she miscarried.
378
00:19:47,539 --> 00:19:47,900
Song—
379
00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:51,880
She was pregnant?
380
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:54,940
It must have been connected
to Prince Fuying.
381
00:19:58,980 --> 00:19:59,710
Ningshuang,
382
00:20:00,180 --> 00:20:01,710
I need to see her right away.
383
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:04,740
Fine.
384
00:20:05,779 --> 00:20:07,910
Then have Bai Yu come and plead with me.
385
00:20:08,059 --> 00:20:08,859
Why?
386
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,160
A few days ago,
387
00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:11,480
when you were ill,
388
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,400
Bai Yu humiliated me.
389
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,240
This time,
390
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,680
I want him
391
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:17,839
to pay it back.
392
00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:22,519
Your Highness,
393
00:20:23,299 --> 00:20:24,900
would you like to hear a joke?
394
00:20:25,099 --> 00:20:25,859
I've prepared
395
00:20:25,859 --> 00:20:28,460
quite a few over the past few days,
just for you.
396
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,440
Someone
397
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:32,559
as pampered,
398
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:33,720
indulged,
399
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,119
and unreasonable as I am—
400
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,130
how could I possibly
be worthy of hearing your jokes?
401
00:20:38,740 --> 00:20:39,599
Your Highness,
402
00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:42,099
I know I was wrong.
403
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:45,359
And what were you wrong about?
404
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,160
I was wrong
405
00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:48,309
to speak to Your Highness that way.
406
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:50,440
Be specific.
407
00:20:50,819 --> 00:20:51,950
More specifically—
408
00:20:52,099 --> 00:20:53,579
being pampered
409
00:20:53,579 --> 00:20:54,539
and indulged
410
00:20:54,539 --> 00:20:56,680
doesn't mean one
lacks understanding or compassion.
411
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,599
Your Highness is of noble birth
412
00:20:58,940 --> 00:21:00,519
and yet deeply considerate.
413
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:01,680
When Xiangjiu fell ill,
414
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,319
Your Highness not only sent tonics,
415
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:04,839
but often kept her company.
416
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:06,240
If Your Highness were truly unreasonable,
417
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,970
how could you be so thoughtful?
418
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,599
Being pampered
419
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,160
is a matter of birth;
420
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,680
being understanding
421
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,009
is a matter of the heart.
422
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:16,359
If you call me pampered,
423
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,279
I won't deny it.
424
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,519
But to say I lack understanding
425
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,680
is to insult me
426
00:21:20,819 --> 00:21:22,339
by calling me heartless.
427
00:21:22,539 --> 00:21:23,420
Should I
428
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:24,420
be angry with you?
429
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:24,900
You should—
430
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:25,960
without question.
431
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:27,539
Take my humble origins, for example.
432
00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:29,099
If people say my family was poor,
433
00:21:29,099 --> 00:21:30,430
I cannot object to that.
434
00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:32,640
But if they say I'd become a thief
because of it,
435
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,099
that insults my character.
436
00:21:34,099 --> 00:21:35,279
What does one's birth
437
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:36,700
have to do with one's virtue?
438
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,160
Isn't that a shallow view?
439
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,359
That's deep.
440
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,680
This time,
441
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,319
I shall spare you.
442
00:22:02,859 --> 00:22:03,900
But what if
443
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:05,180
there's a next time?
444
00:22:05,980 --> 00:22:07,259
This mistake alone
445
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:08,500
has already made me reflect deeply
446
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:09,700
and improve a great deal.
447
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:10,859
If I make a few more,
448
00:22:11,140 --> 00:22:12,299
wouldn't I undergo a complete rebirth—
449
00:22:12,299 --> 00:22:13,259
and ascend to immortality?
450
00:22:13,259 --> 00:22:15,619
So you've been using me
as your path to immortality?
451
00:22:15,619 --> 00:22:17,180
If I were to ascend,
452
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:18,710
wouldn't Your Highness
453
00:22:18,819 --> 00:22:20,819
be the one who benefits in the end?
454
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,539
Throughout history,
455
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:25,180
which princess has ever
had an immortal at her service?
456
00:22:25,180 --> 00:22:27,700
Only Your Highness could manage that.
457
00:22:40,059 --> 00:22:40,859
Bai Yu,
458
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:43,190
have you been doing all this
459
00:22:43,539 --> 00:22:44,980
just for Xiangjiu?
460
00:22:56,299 --> 00:22:57,630
Okay, I understand now.
461
00:23:02,140 --> 00:23:04,059
Your Highness, where are you going?
462
00:23:04,059 --> 00:23:05,660
To see the Princess Consort.
463
00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:06,579
Oh, by the way—
464
00:23:06,579 --> 00:23:07,440
the wily fox...
465
00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:09,420
the wily fox told me to remind you:
466
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:11,059
you never set foot in the Eastern Palace.
467
00:23:11,059 --> 00:23:12,460
If you go there suddenly,
468
00:23:12,539 --> 00:23:13,900
Prince Fuying may grow suspicious.
469
00:23:13,900 --> 00:23:14,740
Nonsense!
470
00:23:15,099 --> 00:23:16,700
Do you really think
I need you to tell me that?
471
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:17,859
I'm not a fool.
472
00:23:25,339 --> 00:23:26,140
Bai Yu,
473
00:23:26,779 --> 00:23:28,039
would you ever like me?
474
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:42,640
No.
475
00:23:47,339 --> 00:23:48,420
That's fine.
476
00:23:48,619 --> 00:23:49,880
I'll teach you slowly.
477
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,220
Gongsun Hao,
478
00:24:13,220 --> 00:24:14,559
patrolling like this every day
479
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:15,680
is dull as dirt.
480
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,759
Why don't we go find some fun?
481
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,450
You'd better not stir up trouble
for your sister.
482
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:26,519
Do you have any idea how much
she's suffered under Prince Fuying
483
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:28,319
just to secure this post for you?
484
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:30,910
That's where you're wrong.
485
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,539
Who gets married
without suffering?
486
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:34,920
You really think
487
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,759
marrying a commoner means an easy life?
488
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,319
If hardship is inevitable no matter
whom you marry,
489
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,680
why not marry someone
with power and influence?
490
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,279
That way, even if you suffer,
491
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:46,930
you at least get gold and silver
in return.
492
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,299
You're nothing but a beast.
493
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,460
I'm just being realistic.
494
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,940
Didn't your father
495
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,119
always want you
496
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,960
to marry Princess Ningshuang anyway?
497
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,220
I will never marry Princess Ningshuang.
498
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Nonsense!
499
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,240
Do you really think Princess Ningshuang
would ever look at you?
500
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,369
You're puncturing above your weight.
501
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,339
It's "punching above one's weight."
502
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:10,119
You even want to punch?
503
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:12,839
Know your place—
504
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:14,039
who do you think you are?
505
00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:15,640
If anyone's worthy of her, it's me.
506
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,160
Princess Ningshuang and I—
507
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,759
that's what you call
a match of equal standing.
508
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,339
Look. It's Princess Ningshuang.
509
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:37,940
Greetings, Princess Ningshuang.
510
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,500
So you're Prince Fuying's brother-in-law?
511
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,740
The princess remembers me—
512
00:25:44,859 --> 00:25:46,660
she must have taken an interest.
513
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:50,460
You have an excellent memory,
Your Highness.
514
00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:52,859
I am indeed
the Crown Prince's brother-in-law,
515
00:25:52,859 --> 00:25:54,480
the Princess Consort's own brother—
516
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,940
the future Imperial Uncle,
517
00:25:55,940 --> 00:25:57,059
Song Yicheng.
518
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,250
Imperial Uncle, you are rather handsome.
519
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,799
Thank you for the compliment,
Your Highness.
520
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,519
Your Highness,
you are the true beauty of the realm.
521
00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:13,160
Indeed—
522
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:13,960
as the saying goes,
523
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,960
a single glance from your smile
could make flowers...
524
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:24,970
Imperial Uncle,
525
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480
you're quite witty, too.
526
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,920
Your Highness may not know—
527
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,960
I'm not only witty,
528
00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:35,099
but also quite flirtatious.
529
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:40,700
Oh?
530
00:26:41,579 --> 00:26:42,779
Then would the Imperial Uncle
531
00:26:42,779 --> 00:26:45,339
care to come up here and show me
532
00:26:45,579 --> 00:26:47,240
just how flirtatious you are?
533
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,039
With so many people watching,
534
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,519
she must enjoy excitement.
535
00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:52,720
Fine.
536
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,059
I've got this.
537
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,859
My darling,
538
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,079
here I come.
539
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,680
Guards!
540
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,640
Help!
541
00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:09,119
How dare you!
542
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,240
Your Highness,
543
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:17,859
you intend to send Gongsun Hao
544
00:27:17,859 --> 00:27:19,390
to finish off Huo Xiangjiu?
545
00:27:20,259 --> 00:27:22,180
I'm afraid Gongsun Wugui
546
00:27:22,180 --> 00:27:23,759
wouldn't agree if he found out.
547
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:25,099
Since when
548
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,079
has my business required his approval?
549
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:28,920
True enough.
550
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:32,039
But with so many people available,
551
00:27:32,259 --> 00:27:34,440
why insist on sending Gongsun Hao,
Your Highness?
552
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,859
He seems
553
00:27:35,859 --> 00:27:37,900
rather dull and rigid.
554
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,539
Don't you think he's too clean?
555
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,000
I want his hands
556
00:27:43,259 --> 00:27:45,180
stained with blood—
557
00:27:45,940 --> 00:27:46,740
otherwise,
558
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:49,200
how am I supposed to control him?
559
00:27:52,099 --> 00:27:54,440
Your Highness is most wise.
560
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,650
Greetings, Your Highness.
561
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:01,160
Something's happened to Mr. Song.
562
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,299
In full public view,
563
00:28:02,299 --> 00:28:04,160
he harassed Princess Ningshuang
564
00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:06,819
and was taken by Her Highness
to Ningshuang Palace.
565
00:28:06,819 --> 00:28:08,539
That Song Yicheng—
566
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:09,880
short in stature,
567
00:28:10,099 --> 00:28:12,259
but his nerve keeps growing.
568
00:28:12,460 --> 00:28:14,140
Is he tired of living?
569
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:16,619
Princess Ningshuang has quite the temper.
570
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,099
He's courting death.
571
00:28:19,259 --> 00:28:20,839
Princess Ningshuang has made it clear:
572
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:23,680
if Your Highness does not go
to Ningshuang Palace to offer an apology,
573
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,240
she will first cripple Mr. Song,
574
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,880
then present him
before His Majesty,
575
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,319
and lodge an accusation
against the Eastern Palace
576
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:29,450
for poor governance
577
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,049
and lax discipline.
578
00:28:36,299 --> 00:28:38,160
Then let the Princess Consort go.
579
00:28:38,619 --> 00:28:40,140
It's her own brother—
580
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:42,160
she can deal with him herself.
581
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:43,900
Have Yuan Xiang
582
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:45,900
stay with her at all times.
583
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:47,029
Yes, Your Highness.
584
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:51,200
Lian!
585
00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:52,759
Lian!
586
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,180
Lian, you're finally here!
587
00:28:54,180 --> 00:28:54,900
Lian.
588
00:28:55,220 --> 00:28:56,339
Lian, save me.
589
00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:57,200
Lian!
590
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,920
I'm the only heir of the Song family!
591
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:00,640
Lian.
592
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,519
They...
593
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:03,200
t-they beat me—
594
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,160
and even knocked out my gold tooth.
595
00:29:05,559 --> 00:29:06,279
Look—
596
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:07,400
look!
597
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:10,680
Princess Ningshuang
even said she'd castrate me.
598
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,279
Lian, think of something—
599
00:29:12,279 --> 00:29:12,940
if it's too late,
600
00:29:12,940 --> 00:29:14,960
the Song family line will end!
601
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:15,400
Lian!
602
00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:17,599
What a troublemaker.
603
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:19,640
Mind your own business!
604
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,440
Lian,
605
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,960
think of something.
606
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,839
I'm still a virgin—
607
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,400
I can't be castrated!
608
00:29:25,519 --> 00:29:26,380
Lian.
609
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,559
Please announce
610
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:29,519
that the Princess Consort wishes
to see Her Highness.
611
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:30,500
Princess Ningshuang is inside.
612
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:31,829
Your Highness, please.
613
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:33,990
Please try your best, Lian.
614
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,119
Her Highness's private chambers—
615
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:38,920
who do you think you are to enter?
616
00:29:39,180 --> 00:29:41,619
I'm the Princess Consort's personal maid.
617
00:29:41,619 --> 00:29:43,660
I go wherever the Princess Consort goes.
618
00:29:43,660 --> 00:29:45,259
Move aside, you lowly wench!
619
00:29:46,099 --> 00:29:47,619
This is Ningshuang Palace,
620
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:48,950
not the Eastern Palace.
621
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,839
Step out of line again,
622
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:52,839
and I'll knock your front teeth out.
623
00:30:05,859 --> 00:30:07,140
Gongsun Hao,
624
00:30:08,980 --> 00:30:10,660
your hands are too clean.
625
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,460
I...
626
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,119
want you to stain them with blood.
627
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,930
I know you don't want
to kill innocent people.
628
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,160
but she...
629
00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:35,839
must die,
630
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:37,700
It is because
631
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,279
her father's death
632
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,619
is tied to your own.38955
