1
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:44,619
May I ask, Your Grace,
2
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:46,299
who exactly are you?
3
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:48,140
And who are you?
4
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:45,500
This is the price you pay
for hurting Xiangjiu.
5
00:02:47,819 --> 00:02:49,349
I deserve this, Your Grace.
6
00:02:49,379 --> 00:02:51,000
In a momentary lapse,
7
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,300
I was led astray.
8
00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:57,900
Therefore,
9
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,139
when Prince Fuying
10
00:02:59,139 --> 00:03:01,300
ordered me to accuse
Your Grace of being a demon,
11
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:02,620
I felt too ashamed
12
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:03,659
to show up.
13
00:03:04,819 --> 00:03:05,699
If Your Grace
14
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:07,539
is still angered by me,
15
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:09,580
I'm willing to accept punishment.
16
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:11,840
Was it Prince Fuying who instructed you?
17
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:16,919
Who had Mao Jin transferred away?
18
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:20,120
It was someone sent by Prince Fuying.
19
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,319
Who exactly was that?
20
00:03:22,659 --> 00:03:24,039
That I don't know.
21
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,800
For such a secret matter,
22
00:03:25,819 --> 00:03:26,960
Prince Fuying would surely entrust it
23
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,400
to someone he trusts.
24
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,759
It was Gao Wei.
25
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,079
All the schemes Prince Fuying has plotted
26
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:34,079
were carried out by Gao Wei.
27
00:03:34,079 --> 00:03:34,759
From now on,
28
00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:37,979
if you ever think of
hurting Xiangjiu again,
29
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,090
even if Xiangjiu pricks her finger
picking flowers,
30
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:41,919
I
31
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:44,360
will consider it your fault
32
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,780
and will destroy you completely.
33
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,039
Your Grace.
34
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:52,000
Can you
35
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,039
truly help Lian escape her suffering?
36
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,960
Xiangjiu's promise
37
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:00,680
is my promise.
38
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:02,960
For Your Grace's boundless kindness,
39
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,360
I have no way to repay you.
40
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,599
Please accept my bow.
41
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:12,250
There's no need for thanks.
42
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:15,080
Xiangjiu is doing this to help
Princess Consort.
43
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,680
It has nothing to do with you.
44
00:04:33,658 --> 00:04:35,540
Demon!
45
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:36,319
Mao Jin!
46
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:36,920
Le Ning!
47
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,480
Demon!
48
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,639
I saw a demon!
49
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:40,519
Your master is a demon!
50
00:04:40,899 --> 00:04:41,980
Let's run away when we still can!
51
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:42,379
Le Ning!
52
00:04:42,379 --> 00:04:43,220
Oh right,
53
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:44,459
let's take Xiangjiu with us!
54
00:04:44,459 --> 00:04:45,379
Le Ning!
55
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,420
Are you really that afraid of demons—
56
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,490
even ones that have never hurt you?
57
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:53,959
But they're demons.
58
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:55,240
Whether they hurt me or not,
59
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,500
they're still demons.
60
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,800
What are you waiting for?
61
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,879
Let's go!
62
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:03,139
I'm a demon myself too.
63
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:14,300
So we really are family.
64
00:05:14,300 --> 00:05:15,959
You're not afraid of me at all.
65
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,129
Why did you faint again?
66
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Princess Consort has been suffering
from stomach pain since this morning.
67
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:33,600
Come quickly and check on her!
68
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,920
Hurry!
69
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:55,420
What's happening? Tell me!
70
00:05:56,658 --> 00:05:57,819
Congratulations, Your Highness!
71
00:05:57,819 --> 00:05:58,860
Congratulations, Your Highness.
72
00:05:58,860 --> 00:05:59,899
Her Highness Princess Consort
73
00:05:59,899 --> 00:06:01,259
is with child.
74
00:06:06,420 --> 00:06:07,860
I have an heir.
75
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,879
I have an heir!
76
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:14,810
Congratulations, Your Highness!
77
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:16,759
Our congratulations!
78
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,879
May Your Highness be blessed with a son
at the first try,
79
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,339
and may our Muxi State
flourish and prosper!
80
00:06:25,939 --> 00:06:26,740
Go away.
81
00:06:29,259 --> 00:06:31,220
That wretched woman is really something.
82
00:06:31,220 --> 00:06:32,819
His Highness beats her all the time,
83
00:06:32,819 --> 00:06:34,949
yet she still managed to get pregnant.
84
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:37,139
This is bad.
85
00:06:37,779 --> 00:06:39,459
Now that Princess Consort's pregnant,
86
00:06:39,459 --> 00:06:41,579
there's no way she can be driven out.
87
00:06:47,339 --> 00:06:48,579
Doesn't that mean
88
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:50,379
I won't be able to go to Fucang Palace
after all?
89
00:06:50,379 --> 00:06:51,379
How could that be?
90
00:06:54,500 --> 00:06:55,939
Attendant Mao,
91
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:58,060
what brings you here?
92
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:06,259
News came that
Princess Consort is with child.
93
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:07,819
Master was worried about you
94
00:07:07,819 --> 00:07:09,879
and specially sent me to check on you.
95
00:07:11,019 --> 00:07:12,899
Why would His Grace worry about me
96
00:07:13,459 --> 00:07:15,920
just because Princess Consort's pregnant?
97
00:07:16,819 --> 00:07:18,079
You really don't know?
98
00:07:19,379 --> 00:07:21,910
How have you been treating
Princess Consort?
99
00:07:22,139 --> 00:07:24,399
If Princess Consort gives birth
to a boy,
100
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:27,350
do you think you'll be able to survive?
101
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:29,699
That's true.
102
00:07:30,579 --> 00:07:31,860
So what should I do?
103
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:33,980
You work for Master.
104
00:07:34,339 --> 00:07:35,139
Surely Master
105
00:07:35,459 --> 00:07:37,699
has planned a way out for you.
106
00:07:43,339 --> 00:07:44,019
This...
107
00:08:25,980 --> 00:08:26,839
Your Highness,
108
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:28,399
please have some ginseng soup.
109
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:29,639
It helps stabilize the pregnancy.
110
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:30,699
Just leave it here.
111
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:32,139
I'd like to speak with
112
00:08:32,139 --> 00:08:33,740
His Highness alone for a bit.
113
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,320
Your Highness, I'll take my leave.
114
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Okay.
115
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:49,679
From now on,
116
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:51,480
focus on nourishing the pregnancy
117
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,679
and give me a fair, chubby son.
118
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,259
Father will surely be overjoyed,
119
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:57,679
and you'll
120
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:00,399
have good days ahead as well.
121
00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:01,980
So I'll only have good days
122
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,639
if I bear you a son?
123
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:09,720
Isn't your life now
124
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:11,480
good enough?
125
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:12,700
If it weren't for me,
126
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:13,919
you'd probably still be
living out in the countryside
127
00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:15,779
as some backwater village woman.
128
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,139
I often think about it too.
129
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:21,480
If it weren't for you,
130
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,200
I would probably be
living a peaceful, happy life
131
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,960
with the one I love,
132
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,559
raising children together.
133
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,480
The one you love?
134
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:34,720
Other than me,
135
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,679
you dare have someone else you love?
136
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,279
Says you.
137
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,529
Even your own father doesn’t love you.
138
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,159
What makes you think you're worthy of
having someone you love?
139
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:51,019
Prince Fuying,
140
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,759
I want to divorce you.
141
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:02,860
Dream on!
142
00:10:03,059 --> 00:10:04,320
Even if it means death,
143
00:10:04,899 --> 00:10:06,539
we will never divorce.
144
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:09,000
Since you love hitting me so much,
145
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:12,240
this time,
146
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,019
I'll let you have your way.
147
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:27,019
Are you insane?
148
00:10:27,019 --> 00:10:28,259
Yes, I am insane.
149
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:32,220
Ever since I married you,
150
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:34,299
I've gone mad.
151
00:10:35,620 --> 00:10:39,179
Only a madwoman would marry
someone who raped her.
152
00:10:39,419 --> 00:10:41,139
What you care about most
153
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,200
is your image in your father's eyes.
154
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:46,779
From this moment on,
155
00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:49,580
all your efforts
156
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,139
will be completely wasted.
157
00:10:52,139 --> 00:10:53,340
You think
158
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:56,080
you can destroy me?
159
00:11:02,259 --> 00:11:03,460
You unfilial wretch!
160
00:11:04,580 --> 00:11:05,379
Lian!
161
00:11:06,220 --> 00:11:07,419
You unfilial wretch.
162
00:11:08,659 --> 00:11:09,399
Are you all right?
163
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:10,120
Father.
164
00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:15,659
Father.
165
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:16,960
Father.
166
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:18,639
Father.
167
00:11:18,899 --> 00:11:19,639
Listen to me.
168
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:21,809
It's not what it looks like.
169
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,299
Please hear me out.
170
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Father,
171
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,919
His Highness forced me to drink
the ginseng soup.
172
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:27,000
When I refused,
173
00:11:27,299 --> 00:11:28,899
he flew into a rage.
174
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:30,820
You unfilial wretch.
175
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,259
She's carrying a child,
176
00:11:32,299 --> 00:11:33,779
and you dare to hit her?
177
00:11:36,220 --> 00:11:37,019
Your Majesty,
178
00:11:37,059 --> 00:11:39,659
there's something off
with this ginseng soup.
179
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:45,240
You actually tried to poison our child?
180
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,759
No,
181
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:50,519
I didn't.
182
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:51,559
Father,
183
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,519
I didn't do it.
184
00:11:53,139 --> 00:11:54,340
This ginseng soup...
185
00:11:54,779 --> 00:11:56,639
I wasn't the one who brought it in.
186
00:11:56,899 --> 00:11:57,899
It was Yuan Xiang.
187
00:11:58,220 --> 00:11:59,019
Yuan Xiang!
188
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:04,019
No, no, no.
189
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:04,919
Stop making those fart-like noises
190
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:05,740
and speak!
191
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:07,620
It wasn't me.
192
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,559
You unfilial wretch!
193
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:15,960
What else do you have to say?
194
00:12:16,139 --> 00:12:17,139
It wasn't me.
195
00:12:17,299 --> 00:12:20,179
You even tried to poison
your own flesh and blood.
196
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,639
You've always called me lowborn.
197
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:25,450
I thought you were just
dissatisfied with me.
198
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:27,940
I never imagined
199
00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:30,279
you could be so cruel.
200
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:41,220
Don't listen to her nonsense.
201
00:12:42,539 --> 00:12:43,559
You venomous woman!
202
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,759
You unfilial wretch!
203
00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:51,139
You've disappointed me beyond measure.
204
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,480
Father.
205
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:55,720
Guards!
206
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,919
Father,
207
00:12:59,539 --> 00:13:00,919
it's not what you think.
208
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:02,000
They're framing me!
209
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,639
Lock this unfilial wretch up
210
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,740
and place him in confinement
to reflect on his actions.
211
00:13:05,740 --> 00:13:07,539
Without my order,
212
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,620
he is not to take a single step outside!
213
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:10,679
How could I possibly do such a thing?
214
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,559
Please hear me out.
215
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Father!
216
00:13:12,659 --> 00:13:13,860
Hear me out!
217
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,799
Let go of me!
218
00:13:14,980 --> 00:13:16,419
They're framing me!
219
00:13:16,539 --> 00:13:17,519
Father!
220
00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:19,659
They're setting me up!
221
00:13:19,659 --> 00:13:20,580
Father!
222
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,600
Chief Steward Sun.
223
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,200
Yes, Your Majesty.
224
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,980
Quickly summon the imperial physician
to check on Lian.
225
00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:25,460
Yes.
226
00:13:25,779 --> 00:13:26,580
Father,
227
00:13:27,419 --> 00:13:28,480
there's something
228
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:30,870
I need to speak with you privately.
229
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,840
You still want a divorce?
230
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,639
Years ago,
231
00:13:44,779 --> 00:13:46,379
I fell from a cliff,
232
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:48,000
and you saved me.
233
00:13:49,019 --> 00:13:52,139
Without knowing who I was,
234
00:13:52,139 --> 00:13:54,580
you took care of me attentively.
235
00:13:56,019 --> 00:13:58,779
I saw you were virtuous and kind,
236
00:13:59,299 --> 00:14:02,299
and I thought you'd make
an excellent wife and mother.
237
00:14:02,460 --> 00:14:04,980
So I deserved to marry your son?
238
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:07,559
What kind of talk is that?
239
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,779
Virtuous and kind,
240
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,889
excellent wife and mother—
241
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:13,860
if these fine qualities
242
00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:15,659
are the source of my misfortune,
243
00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,279
then I'd rather not have them.
244
00:14:19,139 --> 00:14:20,399
Misfortune?
245
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:22,629
Have you really been
246
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,419
living in such pain all these years?
247
00:14:25,419 --> 00:14:27,799
You keep saying you care about me
248
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,440
and treat me as your own daughter.
249
00:14:31,539 --> 00:14:33,259
But if you truly care so much,
250
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:36,340
how could you not know
how I've been living?
251
00:14:36,539 --> 00:14:39,799
You knew that Prince Fuying raped me
back then, didn't you?
252
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:44,100
I'm sure you did.
253
00:14:44,899 --> 00:14:46,899
And yet you never once brought it up.
254
00:14:47,419 --> 00:14:48,539
That was all in the past...
255
00:14:48,539 --> 00:14:49,820
You may have moved on,
256
00:14:50,940 --> 00:14:52,120
but I haven't.
257
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:54,980
But you're carrying our family's child.
258
00:14:57,059 --> 00:14:58,919
Since when did the child in my womb
259
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:01,740
become yours?
260
00:15:10,460 --> 00:15:11,419
Lian.
261
00:15:11,980 --> 00:15:12,779
Lian,
262
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:14,019
when did you enter our household?
263
00:15:14,019 --> 00:15:14,779
Father,
264
00:15:15,580 --> 00:15:16,980
there's no one else here.
265
00:15:17,779 --> 00:15:19,779
There's no need to pretend anymore.
266
00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:28,779
You're smarter than I thought.
267
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,059
Father, you only lose your memory
at critical moments.
268
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,440
How about this?
269
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,360
Since you're pregnant,
270
00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:37,059
I
271
00:15:37,059 --> 00:15:38,500
won't argue with you.
272
00:15:38,879 --> 00:15:40,000
As for divorce,
273
00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:42,100
do not bring it up again.
274
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:44,700
And as for Prince Fuying,
275
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:46,379
I'll discipline him.
276
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,679
If you fear he may hurt you again,
277
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,320
I'll have him
278
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,850
confined to the Cold Palace
279
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,850
and bar him from returning to
the Eastern Palace.
280
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:55,720
Father,
281
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:58,970
I want to ask you one more question.
282
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:01,299
If you can answer it,
283
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:03,039
I'll agree to your terms.
284
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,120
But if you cannot,
285
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,559
you must allow me to leave.
286
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,049
Why did you castrate
my brother Song Yicheng?
287
00:16:15,179 --> 00:16:17,500
He dared to harass Ningshuang.
288
00:16:17,860 --> 00:16:18,820
Was I wrong to do so?
289
00:16:18,820 --> 00:16:20,299
And if he had raped Ningshuang,
290
00:16:20,299 --> 00:16:21,740
how would you have dealt with him, Father?
291
00:16:21,740 --> 00:16:24,139
I'd definitely have had him
torn to pieces!
292
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:26,679
When your daughter is raped,
293
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,039
you tear the man to pieces;
294
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:33,559
but when your son rapes someone,
295
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,320
you make her marry him.
296
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:40,919
Don't you think
297
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,159
your shamelessness and hypocrisy
are no less than Prince Fuying's?
298
00:16:50,059 --> 00:16:52,659
Tomorrow, I will leave the palace
openly and with dignity.
299
00:16:52,659 --> 00:16:54,700
If you insist that you're in the right,
300
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:56,620
then have the guards come and stop me.
301
00:16:56,620 --> 00:16:59,019
But if you still consider me
your daughter,
302
00:17:00,179 --> 00:17:01,580
then grant me my freedom.
303
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,059
Your Grace.
304
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:35,839
You really must save me this time.
305
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:37,000
I can never
306
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:39,319
return to the Eastern Palace again!
307
00:17:44,579 --> 00:17:45,380
Your Grace?
308
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,960
I have two questions for you.
309
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Answer them truthfully,
310
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:53,000
and I'll let you stay.
311
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,160
Please ask away, Your Grace.
312
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,480
I work for Your Grace now.
313
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,559
I will tell you everything I know
314
00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:58,559
without reservation.
315
00:17:58,559 --> 00:17:59,279
Where did Prince Fuying
316
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:00,839
hide
317
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,690
Huo Xiangjiu's father?
318
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,079
I really don't know about this.
319
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,019
It probably wasn't Prince Fuying
who did it.
320
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:12,519
I heard Prince Fuying
talking with Lord Gongsun.
321
00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,849
Prince Fuying seemed to think
it was Lord Gongsun who did it.
322
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,380
Is that truly so?
323
00:18:18,519 --> 00:18:19,680
If I speak even a single word
of falsehood,
324
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,140
may I die a horrible death.
325
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:22,680
I've already offended Prince Fuying.
326
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,339
If it was really him who did it,
327
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,759
why would I cover for him?
328
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:31,799
The second matter.
329
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:36,180
Why did you steal datura
from Ningshuang Palace
330
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,000
to poison Princess Consort?
331
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:40,319
Princess Consort once had a miscarriage,
332
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:42,250
and datura can cause miscarriage.
333
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:45,960
Princess Ningshuang is the only one
in the palace who grows datura.
334
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,000
The time when datura went missing
from Ningshuang Palace
335
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,130
was close to when Princess Consort
had the miscarriage.
336
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,319
You're wronging me, Your Grace!
337
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:54,359
I only know
338
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:56,240
Princess Consort had a miscarriage.
339
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,960
How would I know about da...
340
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,259
That da-whatever?
341
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,079
My father's disappearance
has something to do with you?
342
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:03,599
Why are you bringing up
your father's disappearance again?
343
00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:05,559
I really don't know anything!
344
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:07,559
She probably doesn't know anything.
345
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:08,720
Then what you just said...
346
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,720
Just testing her.
347
00:19:15,859 --> 00:19:17,519
You almost scared me to death.
348
00:19:17,980 --> 00:19:18,940
Your Grace,
349
00:19:19,140 --> 00:19:20,670
that was really mean of you.
350
00:19:20,740 --> 00:19:23,460
How could you scare me
with something like that?
351
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:24,700
My poor heart
352
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:25,740
was pounding so hard that
353
00:19:25,740 --> 00:19:27,619
it almost jumped out of my chest.
354
00:19:29,819 --> 00:19:30,660
Your Grace.
355
00:19:31,259 --> 00:19:32,619
How about
356
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:33,980
letting me
357
00:19:34,539 --> 00:19:36,299
serve you tonight?
358
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:43,539
Mao Jin.
359
00:19:44,299 --> 00:19:45,700
Take her to bathe Xiaofu.
360
00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:50,019
Your Grace,
361
00:19:50,140 --> 00:19:51,380
who is Xiaofu?
362
00:19:51,819 --> 00:19:54,339
Your... Grace...
363
00:19:54,740 --> 00:19:55,460
Jin,
364
00:19:55,579 --> 00:19:56,099
don't drag me.
365
00:19:56,099 --> 00:19:57,230
I can walk by myself.
366
00:19:57,299 --> 00:19:58,859
Your Grace!
367
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:05,019
So
368
00:20:05,259 --> 00:20:06,579
you've suspected all along
369
00:20:06,579 --> 00:20:09,240
that datura was related to
Lian's miscarriage?
370
00:20:11,339 --> 00:20:12,220
I'm not sure.
371
00:20:12,859 --> 00:20:13,819
I only know that
372
00:20:13,819 --> 00:20:15,259
the missing datura,
373
00:20:15,619 --> 00:20:17,019
Princess Consort's miscarriage,
374
00:20:17,019 --> 00:20:19,680
those two torn pages
from the Ganquan Register,
375
00:20:20,339 --> 00:20:22,269
and your father's disappearance—
376
00:20:22,859 --> 00:20:23,789
all these things
377
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:26,319
seem to be connected somehow.
378
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:29,119
There really isn't any scent of datura
in the Eastern Palace?
379
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,250
Mao Jin has checked.
380
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:31,980
There's definitely none.
381
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:33,519
It's probably been too long,
382
00:20:33,519 --> 00:20:34,849
and the scent has faded.
383
00:20:39,619 --> 00:20:41,279
I'll go there again tomorrow.
384
00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:46,460
Did His Majesty agree to
Princess Consort's divorce?
385
00:20:46,460 --> 00:20:47,359
I don't know.
386
00:20:49,180 --> 00:20:51,160
His Majesty trusts you so much.
387
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,319
Why don't you talk to him again?
388
00:20:54,140 --> 00:20:55,539
This doesn't concern me.
389
00:20:57,460 --> 00:20:58,299
Feng Mochen!
390
00:20:59,619 --> 00:21:01,480
What's wrong with you these days?
391
00:21:01,779 --> 00:21:03,900
Why are you so cold to me?
392
00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:10,950
I've always been like this.
393
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,440
Feng Mochen
394
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,759
has suddenly become very cold toward me.
395
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:50,700
All men are the same.
396
00:21:50,859 --> 00:21:52,819
He's probably just grown tired of you
397
00:21:52,819 --> 00:21:54,750
after being around you for so long.
398
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,759
Why are you sighing?
399
00:21:58,039 --> 00:22:00,119
At worst, just find someone else.
400
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Three-legged toads are hard to come by,
401
00:22:02,799 --> 00:22:04,460
but two-legged foxes...
402
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,240
They aren't easy to find either.
403
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:10,079
Xiangjiu!
404
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:12,000
Le Ning?
405
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,880
Xiangjiu,
406
00:22:13,079 --> 00:22:14,160
quick, run!
407
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,359
Your Highness,
408
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,160
let's run!
409
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,240
What happened?
410
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,740
We've fallen into a den of demons.
411
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,019
Lord Feng and Mao Jin are both demons.
412
00:22:25,859 --> 00:22:27,519
They really are demons!
413
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,099
One is a fox,
414
00:22:29,099 --> 00:22:30,299
and the other's a dog.
415
00:22:31,579 --> 00:22:33,099
What, can they eat you?
416
00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:34,710
That's quite possible.
417
00:22:36,099 --> 00:22:38,059
Have you ever seen foxes and dogs
418
00:22:38,099 --> 00:22:39,220
eating people?
419
00:22:39,579 --> 00:22:40,940
I, on the other hand,
420
00:22:41,099 --> 00:22:42,900
have seen plenty of people
eat foxes and dogs.
421
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:43,539
Right.
422
00:22:44,420 --> 00:22:46,019
There are also people who eat monkeys,
423
00:22:46,019 --> 00:22:47,059
cats,
424
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,900
and even turtles.
425
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:49,740
Stop, stop.
426
00:22:51,339 --> 00:22:52,779
We just want to tell you that
427
00:22:52,779 --> 00:22:54,960
some humans are scarier than them.
428
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,039
Yeah.
429
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:57,099
That's different.
430
00:22:57,339 --> 00:22:58,839
They've become spirits.
431
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:01,819
I've become a spirit too.
432
00:23:02,140 --> 00:23:03,670
What kind of spirit are you?
433
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:08,970
A beautiful spirit.
434
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,259
Your Highness,
435
00:23:10,259 --> 00:23:11,319
at a time like this,
436
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,039
you're still joking with me?
437
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:17,960
Le Ning.
438
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,200
Let me ask you,
439
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,400
have they ever harmed you?
440
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,619
Well, they haven't.
441
00:23:22,619 --> 00:23:23,680
On the contrary,
442
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,339
they've helped
443
00:23:25,339 --> 00:23:28,339
Princess Ningshuang
and Princess Consort Song Lian.
444
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,400
That's true.
445
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,039
Why not try a different perspective?
446
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,200
Think about it.
447
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,500
If your friends include not just humans
448
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:39,220
but also demons,
449
00:23:39,220 --> 00:23:41,819
wouldn't your life be more interesting?
450
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,400
Can I really think of it that way?
451
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,599
Of course you can.
452
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:48,299
As they say,
453
00:23:48,299 --> 00:23:50,519
"a fixed mindset only leads to dead ends,
454
00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:53,079
while a new perspective opens new paths."
455
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:56,279
That does make some sense.
456
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,619
Xiangjiu.
457
00:24:00,099 --> 00:24:02,180
What's it like having a fox as a lover?
458
00:24:05,740 --> 00:24:07,819
You should know, being with Mao Jin.
459
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,440
Don't talk nonsense.
460
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,559
Mao Jin and I are family.
461
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,960
The one I fancy
462
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,759
is Attendant Bai Yu.
463
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,960
That man is completely worthless.
464
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,480
No looks to speak of,
465
00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:21,920
no wisdom whatsoever,
466
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,119
just a complete fool.
467
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,240
You little devil.
468
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:25,619
He's just an ordinary man.
469
00:24:25,619 --> 00:24:26,960
Why do you fancy him?
470
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,000
I think he's quite nice.
471
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,920
That's all an illusion.
472
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,420
Compared to Mao Jin,
473
00:24:29,420 --> 00:24:30,140
he's worlds apart.
474
00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:30,559
Really?
475
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:31,960
I find him quite amusing.
476
00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:38,619
Is that so?
477
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,400
I am a princess.
478
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,859
Princesses never lie.
479
00:24:43,420 --> 00:24:44,660
Just set your heart on Mao Jin.
480
00:24:44,660 --> 00:24:45,789
You won't regret it.
481
00:24:46,099 --> 00:24:47,339
Even though you're a princess,
482
00:24:47,339 --> 00:24:49,380
you can't dictate who others like.
483
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,400
I consider Le Ning my good friend,
484
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,529
so of course I want what's best for her.
485
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:55,539
Your Highness,
486
00:24:55,539 --> 00:24:56,619
you're so kind.
487
00:25:00,940 --> 00:25:01,779
Xiangjiu.
488
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:04,200
What about your situation with Lord Feng?
489
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,400
What do you plan to do?
490
00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:10,200
I don't know.
491
00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:15,019
Tomorrow,
492
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,079
I'll first
493
00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:17,599
escort Song Lian out of the palace,
494
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:18,460
then we'll see.
495
00:25:20,980 --> 00:25:22,380
Will it go that smoothly?
496
00:25:24,099 --> 00:25:26,579
Life is never that smooth.
497
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:28,180
It's just
498
00:25:28,940 --> 00:25:30,500
one hurdle after another,
499
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,029
but we get through them all.
500
00:25:32,299 --> 00:25:33,759
The road ahead is long,
501
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:35,599
but also bright!
502
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:41,660
Take my sedan chair
503
00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:43,279
to leave the palace today.
504
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:45,220
I'd like to see who dares to stop you.
505
00:25:45,220 --> 00:25:46,180
Thank you for your help this time.
506
00:25:46,180 --> 00:25:47,180
Don't mention it.
507
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:48,380
Back then,
508
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:49,839
you helped me the same way.
509
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:51,529
Ningshuang,
510
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,799
thanks a lot.
511
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,980
Stop the carriage.
512
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:00,920
Princess Ningshuang's sedan chair
513
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:01,799
is leaving the palace.
514
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:02,400
Today,
515
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,680
without His Majesty's token,
516
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,740
no one is allowed to leave the palace.
517
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,609
Get out of my way!
518
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,980
Please forgive us, Your Highness.
519
00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:10,640
We're just following orders.
520
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:17,599
Mochen,
521
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,359
am I wrong?
522
00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:23,599
It depends on your perspective.
523
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,240
From what perspective
524
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,480
am I not wrong?
525
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,519
A villain's.
526
00:26:34,619 --> 00:26:35,740
You
527
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:37,859
always say such hurtful things.
528
00:26:38,940 --> 00:26:41,180
How could Miss Xiangjiu tolerate this?
529
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:44,099
I don't talk to her like this.
530
00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:47,500
However,
531
00:26:49,299 --> 00:26:50,579
now I have to be.
532
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,400
Are you trying to
533
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,779
force me to break in?
534
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:01,400
If Your Highness insists on this,
535
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,529
we'll have no choice but to offend you!
536
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:10,480
What's the right thing to do?
537
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,799
Do you know
538
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,559
why I've stayed by your side for so long?
539
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,359
A long time ago,
540
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,890
you were once a good person.
541
00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:32,240
Eat this, Miss.
542
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:34,440
Please.
543
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:39,559
Go ahead.
544
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,359
You know what to do.
545
00:27:58,259 --> 00:27:59,059
Ningshuang,
546
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:00,299
forget it.
547
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,720
Let's go back.
548
00:28:01,940 --> 00:28:02,660
No way.
549
00:28:02,940 --> 00:28:04,180
We've come all this way.
550
00:28:04,180 --> 00:28:05,859
We can't just go back like this.
551
00:28:05,859 --> 00:28:06,839
Are you guys trying to
552
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:07,740
force me to get physical with you?
553
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:09,539
Here comes His Majesty's order!
554
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:11,880
Here comes His Majesty's order!
555
00:28:12,539 --> 00:28:13,559
Here comes...
556
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:17,319
Here comes His Majesty's order!
557
00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:19,940
Here comes His Majesty's order!
558
00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:20,740
Let them pass!
559
00:28:22,539 --> 00:28:23,339
Let them pass.
560
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:31,359
Your Highness.
561
00:28:32,019 --> 00:28:34,680
His Majesty asked me to
deliver a message to you.
562
00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:36,339
His Majesty instructed
563
00:28:36,339 --> 00:28:37,670
that you need not kneel.
564
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:39,099
Just one sentence:
565
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,799
may the rest of your life be well.
566
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:47,119
With so many people seeing you off,
567
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:47,920
I'll bid you farewell
568
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,000
here.
569
00:28:49,460 --> 00:28:50,259
Ningshuang.
570
00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:51,559
Thank you.
571
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:29,519
Mochen.
572
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,000
You've changed.
573
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,359
You never liked meddling in
other people's business.
574
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
There's no such thing as
"other people's business."
575
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,960
What we call "other people's business"
576
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,960
is just trouble that hasn't
happened to us yet.
577
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:49,480
If you're so eager to find your father,
578
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,759
why meddle in other people's business?
579
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:55,720
That flower spirit
580
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,420
will soon
581
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:59,539
vanish into nothing.
582
00:30:01,180 --> 00:30:03,640
Why bother doing something pointless?
583
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:07,880
There's no such thing as
"other people's business."
584
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,180
What we call "other people's business"
585
00:30:09,180 --> 00:30:13,240
is just trouble that hasn't
happened to us yet.
586
00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:17,099
How I wish
587
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:20,400
someone could help me too.
588
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:34,460
Gongsun Hao.
589
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:36,359
Lian!
590
00:30:39,660 --> 00:30:40,640
Are you all right?
591
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,619
I'm fine.
592
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,059
What's this about?
593
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:48,500
You...
594
00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:51,740
If you hadn't lent us a hand,
Miss Xiangjiu,
595
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:52,500
Lian and I
596
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:54,839
would never have been reunited.
597
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:56,680
I even
598
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:58,880
hurt you before.
599
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:00,599
I'll never forget
600
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,480
your
601
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,680
great kindness.
602
00:31:03,079 --> 00:31:03,460
Get up quickly.
603
00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:04,799
Please rise.
604
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:11,799
I missed my chance
605
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:12,720
once before.
606
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:13,920
This time,
607
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:16,180
I won't miss it again.
608
00:31:25,259 --> 00:31:26,200
Lord Gongsun?
609
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,319
So you've chosen this path after all.
610
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,039
Father,
611
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,839
please grant us your blessing.
612
00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:35,039
Don't call me Father!
613
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,839
I have no son like you!
614
00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:39,359
Since you were young,
615
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,839
I've taught you
616
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:42,240
each generation must be
more ruthless than the last.
617
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,500
But what have you done?
618
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,240
For this woman,
619
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,769
you've abandoned your bright future!
620
00:31:54,500 --> 00:31:55,900
Our ancestors
621
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:58,430
were farmers for generations.
622
00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:01,960
Until your great-grandfather's generation,
623
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,460
when we moved to the city
to weave mats and sell shoes
624
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,880
so your grandfather could study.
625
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:12,400
Our Gongsun family
626
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,380
climbed step by step to where we are now.
627
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,819
As long as you marry Princess Ningshuang
628
00:32:22,819 --> 00:32:24,349
and become a royal consort,
629
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,599
our Gongsun descendants
630
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:28,559
will carry royal blood.
631
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,799
We'll no longer be called
632
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:32,759
lowly peddlers and servants!
633
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,599
Yet you,
634
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:38,039
for this woman,
635
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:40,539
have betrayed the hard-earned achievements
636
00:32:40,539 --> 00:32:42,359
by generations upon generations
637
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:43,700
of our Gongsun family!
638
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:47,500
Lord Gongsun,
639
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:50,029
do you despise your own bloodline so much?
640
00:32:50,859 --> 00:32:53,319
Does being descended from
peddlers and servants
641
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:54,640
bring you such shame?
642
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,359
Silence!
643
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,200
Without your instigation,
644
00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:01,799
he wouldn't have become like this.
645
00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:07,900
And you, you wretched woman.
646
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:09,539
I warned you
647
00:33:09,539 --> 00:33:11,779
not to seduce my son,
648
00:33:11,779 --> 00:33:13,779
but you refused to listen.
649
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:17,440
Even after I had His Highness rape you,
650
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,240
you still wouldn't let go.
651
00:33:19,759 --> 00:33:20,890
What are you saying?
652
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:24,380
So that incident
653
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,720
was your doing?
654
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,799
That's right.
655
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:29,019
His Highness's poisoning
656
00:33:29,019 --> 00:33:30,779
was my doing.
657
00:33:31,059 --> 00:33:31,980
However,
658
00:33:33,259 --> 00:33:34,420
it was your brother
659
00:33:34,579 --> 00:33:37,359
who brought him to your door.
660
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:44,140
She's the woman
your son loves most in this life.
661
00:33:44,339 --> 00:33:46,940
How could you have brought yourself
to do this?
662
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,119
So what if she is?
663
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,480
She ruined our family.
664
00:33:51,180 --> 00:33:51,900
I
665
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:56,299
must destroy you with my own hands.
666
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:01,019
Father.
667
00:34:02,339 --> 00:34:04,200
You're not taking revenge on her.
668
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,039
You're taking revenge on me.
669
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:10,639
Since you want to destroy me so badly,
670
00:34:11,579 --> 00:34:12,780
I'll grant your wish.
671
00:34:16,780 --> 00:34:17,659
Gongsun Hao!
672
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:22,019
Hao!
673
00:34:22,019 --> 00:34:23,059
Gongsun Hao!
674
00:34:23,380 --> 00:34:23,820
Gongsun Hao!
675
00:34:23,820 --> 00:34:24,280
Le Ning,
676
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,199
fetch a doctor!
677
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,079
I'm on my way!
678
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:26,559
Gongsun Hao!
679
00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:27,079
Hao!
680
00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:29,659
Gongsun Hao!
681
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,960
I'm sorry.
682
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,400
Hao!
683
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:35,519
I...
684
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,900
Gongsun Hao!
685
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,159
Hao...
686
00:34:53,380 --> 00:34:54,340
Old Fox.
687
00:34:58,159 --> 00:34:59,400
Old Fox!
688
00:35:00,460 --> 00:35:01,699
Slow down.
689
00:35:02,099 --> 00:35:03,059
Old Fox!
690
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,599
Old Fox!
691
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:08,920
You don't think he'll eat me, do you?
692
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,599
I will.
693
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Stop scaring her.
694
00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:19,440
Lian didn't want to implicate Gongsun Hao,
695
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:21,480
so she returned to the palace.
696
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,179
Don't you find it strange?
697
00:35:26,219 --> 00:35:27,340
No matter how hard
698
00:35:27,340 --> 00:35:28,659
Princess Consort tries,
699
00:35:28,659 --> 00:35:30,300
she always ends up back here.
700
00:35:31,380 --> 00:35:33,780
It seems someone doesn't
want her to leave.
701
00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:35,039
I don't understand.
702
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:36,380
Can you be more direct?
703
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:39,539
Master,
704
00:35:39,539 --> 00:35:40,699
I found it!
705
00:35:42,699 --> 00:35:43,679
I found it!
706
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:44,639
Master,
707
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,340
fortunately you sent me to search
the Eastern Palace again.
708
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:48,619
I really found it.
709
00:36:04,619 --> 00:36:06,280
There's no scent left at all.
710
00:36:06,659 --> 00:36:08,260
It seems to have withered
for quite some time.
711
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:10,920
Could this be the one
Princess Ningshuang lost?
712
00:36:11,340 --> 00:36:12,460
The stem is solid.
713
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:15,119
It seems to have grown naturally,
714
00:36:15,340 --> 00:36:18,139
rather than being transplanted here
when mature.
715
00:36:19,659 --> 00:36:22,300
I thought only Ningshuang
could grow these in the palace.
716
00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:23,559
Then who planted this?
717
00:36:23,579 --> 00:36:24,880
If someone planted it,
718
00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:26,880
why is no one tending to it?
719
00:36:32,139 --> 00:36:33,869
There's another possibility.
720
00:36:34,219 --> 00:36:36,750
Someone might have planted it
accidentally.
721
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:37,860
You mean
722
00:36:38,380 --> 00:36:39,639
someone accidentally
723
00:36:39,820 --> 00:36:42,019
dropped datura seeds here?
724
00:36:42,460 --> 00:36:43,000
Yes.
725
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:45,900
Since it was planted accidentally,
726
00:36:46,260 --> 00:36:49,139
even that person didn't know
flowers would grow,
727
00:36:49,380 --> 00:36:51,710
which explains why no one
is tending to it.
728
00:37:02,179 --> 00:37:02,739
Master,
729
00:37:03,139 --> 00:37:04,539
there's a strange smell!
730
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:17,280
That's impressive.
731
00:37:34,139 --> 00:37:35,340
My father's clothes!
732
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:37,590
These are my father's clothes!
733
00:37:38,659 --> 00:37:40,119
These belong to my father!
734
00:37:40,420 --> 00:37:41,679
Then whose is this one?
735
00:37:44,460 --> 00:37:45,239
Gongsun Hao.
736
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:55,710
Who's there?
737
00:37:57,739 --> 00:37:58,420
Hao?
738
00:38:00,460 --> 00:38:02,699
Why are you still awake so late?
739
00:38:02,739 --> 00:38:04,539
Especially with your injuries.
740
00:38:09,099 --> 00:38:10,900
Lian has returned to the palace.
741
00:38:12,059 --> 00:38:13,059
That's good.
742
00:38:13,739 --> 00:38:14,460
From now on,
743
00:38:14,739 --> 00:38:16,860
stay away from her completely.
744
00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:18,579
Hao.
745
00:38:19,539 --> 00:38:20,800
Obey my arrangements.
746
00:38:22,019 --> 00:38:24,380
Once you control the palace guards
747
00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:26,659
and marry Princess Ningshuang,
748
00:38:29,619 --> 00:38:31,440
our Gongsun family
749
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:34,219
will rise to prominence.
750
00:38:39,179 --> 00:38:41,260
Father, you really lack ambition.
751
00:38:41,619 --> 00:38:43,219
Rising to prominence
752
00:38:46,179 --> 00:38:47,340
is enough for you?
753
00:38:49,940 --> 00:38:51,219
I want my son
754
00:38:51,940 --> 00:38:53,199
to become the Emperor.
755
00:38:57,699 --> 00:38:58,900
What did you just say?
756
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:01,579
The child Princess Consort is carrying
757
00:39:02,099 --> 00:39:03,860
is mine.
758
00:39:09,380 --> 00:39:10,519
You...
759
00:39:11,219 --> 00:39:13,139
How dare you!
760
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:15,780
When did you become so timid, Father?
761
00:39:17,820 --> 00:39:19,539
What you did before
762
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:21,420
suits my wish perfectly.
763
00:39:28,380 --> 00:39:28,980
Father...
764
00:39:30,380 --> 00:39:32,380
Father, how can you look at your son
like that?
765
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:34,300
Isn't this what you've always wanted?
766
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:35,780
Haven't you taught me since childhood
767
00:39:35,780 --> 00:39:37,960
that each generation must be
more ruthless than the last?
768
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,090
Actually, I'd learned this as a child.
769
00:39:40,099 --> 00:39:40,820
You just
770
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,119
never noticed it.
771
00:39:45,820 --> 00:39:46,619
What's
772
00:39:47,340 --> 00:39:48,300
your next move?
773
00:39:54,559 --> 00:39:55,559
Next...
774
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,480
The story continues with
775
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,639
my failed suicide attempt,
776
00:40:06,639 --> 00:40:08,280
still pining for Lian.
777
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:09,280
And you, Father,
778
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,360
to break my obsession,
779
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,289
will attempt suicide to wake me up.
780
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,130
From then on,
781
00:40:13,159 --> 00:40:15,400
kind-hearted Lian will feel
even more guilty toward me.
782
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,159
She will raise our child well,
783
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:19,400
who'll eventually
784
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:21,739
take the Emperor's throne.
785
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:41,239
And our Gongsun family
786
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:43,760
will reach its peak
787
00:40:44,860 --> 00:40:46,619
in my generation.
788
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,880
I...
789
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,920
I'm your father!
790
00:41:02,780 --> 00:41:03,219
You...
791
00:41:03,820 --> 00:41:04,420
Father.
792
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,519
You are a successful father.
You taught me since childhood
793
00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:10,719
that each generation must be
more ruthless than the last.
794
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:11,599
And I
795
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:13,679
did it.47587
