1
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,320
Your Highness,
are you over the moon right now?
2
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,992
I want to hold it back, but I just can't.
3
00:00:30,992 --> 00:00:34,600
You said I am the best,
and that you would marry no one but me.
4
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,200
Your Highness, didn't we agree long ago
5
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,280
that this marriage is mutually beneficial?
6
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,919
Don't tell me
you mistakenly thought what I said
7
00:00:43,919 --> 00:00:45,889
was genuinely from my heart?
8
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:51,168
Why can't you just humor me a bit?
9
00:00:51,168 --> 00:00:53,000
I am very easy to please.
10
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:23,760
[Episode 13]
11
00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:37,680
Your Highness, you personally escorted me
back to my manor.
12
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,190
Four hours have already passed since then.
13
00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:42,470
When are you leaving?
14
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:44,750
Four hours already?
15
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:46,880
Time flies so fast.
16
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,960
What are we having for dinner?
17
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,040
When did I ever invite you
to have dinner with me, Your Highness?
18
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,691
It's just the way to treat a guest.
19
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:12,441
I thought you would understand that.
20
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:17,510
Do you even have
the awareness of being a guest?
21
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,510
So you also feel that I am more like
the master of the house?
22
00:03:23,955 --> 00:03:25,785
You'd better just stay hungry.
23
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,795
Since you don't want to see me,
I'll just leave.
24
00:03:40,795 --> 00:03:42,608
I'll come to see you another day.
25
00:03:44,736 --> 00:03:46,303
No need to see me out.
26
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:04,880
Why does it feel like
Crown Prince is acting a bit strange today?
27
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:13,230
Where is my handkerchief?
28
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,480
Wasn't it just right here?
29
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:26,750
A Crown Prince actually turned into a thief
for a handkerchief?
30
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:29,120
Who would believe this if it got out?
31
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,720
Would you believe it?
32
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,271
Your Highness,
33
00:04:44,271 --> 00:04:46,430
ever since you came back from
Commandery Princess's place,
34
00:04:46,430 --> 00:04:49,080
you've been in
a constant state of excitement.
35
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,466
Your eyes are as bright as the morning star.
36
00:04:51,466 --> 00:04:53,630
I don't even dare to look at you directly.
37
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,070
Tian Yuan,
38
00:04:57,070 --> 00:05:00,990
I... discovered a secret of Xi He's.
39
00:05:03,513 --> 00:05:04,783
Look.
40
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,270
Immortal Vine is embroidered
on this handkerchief?
41
00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:11,230
It really is the Immortal Vine.
42
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,032
Tell me,
43
00:05:14,032 --> 00:05:16,800
Commandery Princess embroidered
the Immortal Vine on her handkerchief.
44
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,720
What does this mean?
45
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,670
I don't know the answer.
46
00:05:24,310 --> 00:05:27,560
Although she seems cold on the surface,
47
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,390
she actually values old bonds
very much in her heart.
48
00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:33,120
This Immortal Vine once
helped her out of a tight spot,
49
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,950
so she never forgot it.
50
00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:37,040
If she treats a mere herb like this,
51
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
then what about a person
who stays by her side every day
52
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
and shares both joy and sorrow with her?
53
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,600
Commandery Princess's thoughts
are very hard for ordinary people to guess.
54
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,690
Moreover, many people trust objects
55
00:05:53,690 --> 00:05:55,824
more than they trust human hearts.
56
00:05:56,830 --> 00:05:58,227
Wait. Commandery
57
00:05:58,227 --> 00:06:01,024
Princess doesn't know you were the one
who gave her the Immortal Vine.
58
00:06:01,024 --> 00:06:03,840
So, why would she give
this handkerchief to you?
59
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,600
You didn't steal the handkerchief, did you?
60
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,375
It's getting late.
61
00:06:12,375 --> 00:06:14,410
Go prepare for the Jiuxiao Lantern Festival
in a few days.
62
00:06:14,410 --> 00:06:16,912
- There must not be the slightest mistake.
- Understood.
63
00:06:16,912 --> 00:06:18,892
You should also rest early, Your Highness.
64
00:06:22,050 --> 00:06:23,814
What a child.
65
00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:33,170
[Qingfeng House]
Sir, come on in.
66
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:34,190
- Xi He.
- Inside, please.
67
00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:36,270
The shad soup
in this restaurant is delicious.
68
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:38,190
I especially told them to save a large one.
69
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:40,770
Later on, let's have drinks together.
70
00:06:40,770 --> 00:06:43,145
Why are you playing
the attentive host so much today?
71
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,040
It's all because you are
about to marry the Crown Prince soon.
72
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,630
My heart is broken and grieving.
73
00:06:49,630 --> 00:06:51,391
I was thinking
that before you enter the palace,
74
00:06:51,391 --> 00:06:54,270
every extra day I can spend with you
is a day to cherish.
75
00:06:54,270 --> 00:06:55,800
You don't need to be heartbroken.
76
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Without me, you can always
go find Vice Minister Cui.
77
00:06:59,870 --> 00:07:01,800
I don't even need to
marry Princess An Ling anymore.
78
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,720
Why should I keep looking for him?
79
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,870
Well, I feel that in the way he looks at you,
80
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:09,040
there is a great deal of affection.
81
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:12,430
What do you mean by that?
Don't scare me.
82
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:16,000
Although verbally,
he acts as though he's disgusted,
83
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
he often appears by your side on purpose.
84
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,430
Can't you feel it at all?
85
00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:24,000
Usually, it's me pestering him,
86
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,632
and he wishes nothing more than
to stay far away from me.
87
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,890
Vice Minister Cui.
88
00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:35,510
Your Highness.
89
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:36,920
Young Master Bu.
90
00:07:38,015 --> 00:07:39,070
I'm suddenly not hungry anymore.
91
00:07:39,070 --> 00:07:42,070
Let's go look around
and come back to eat later. Let's go.
92
00:07:50,430 --> 00:07:52,270
Get me a roast goose tonight.
[Imperial Guard]
93
00:07:52,270 --> 00:07:53,520
Yes, sir.
94
00:07:59,888 --> 00:08:01,819
- I forgot the case files.
- Captain.
95
00:08:01,819 --> 00:08:03,270
Which case files are you talking about?
96
00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:05,480
- We brought them all.
- Shut up.
97
00:08:06,980 --> 00:08:09,893
[Imperial Guard]
98
00:08:20,229 --> 00:08:21,683
Stop right there.
99
00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:27,040
Why have you been avoiding me lately?
100
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,750
Vice Minister Cui, my superior is
waiting for me to report on the case.
101
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:32,110
Excuse me.
102
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,710
Captain Bu.
103
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:52,903
Wait, what is wrong with you?
104
00:08:52,903 --> 00:08:54,003
Curfew is about to start in the palace.
105
00:08:54,003 --> 00:08:55,670
What are you still standing here for?
106
00:08:55,670 --> 00:08:58,970
I just wanted to ask you
why you are avoiding me.
107
00:08:58,970 --> 00:09:01,648
I pestered you in the past
because I just wanted to make trouble.
108
00:09:01,648 --> 00:09:04,550
But rest assured, from now on,
even if I run into you on the street,
109
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:06,760
I will treat you like a stranger.
110
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:12,150
I was wrong before, alright?
111
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:13,392
Please don't take it to heart.
112
00:09:13,392 --> 00:09:14,868
From now on,
I'll watch my words and actions
113
00:09:14,868 --> 00:09:16,749
and draw a clear line between us.
114
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,952
Cut ties. Yes, cut ties.
115
00:09:19,952 --> 00:09:22,960
You pester me whenever you want,
and cut ties whenever you please.
116
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,480
Why are you so willful?
117
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,510
Fine.
118
00:09:27,510 --> 00:09:28,960
Let's make things clear today.
119
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,124
I won't pester you anymore,
and you don't pester me either.
120
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:52,384
Young Master Bu
still refuses to acknowledge you?
121
00:09:55,510 --> 00:09:57,670
Did you say something hurtful?
122
00:10:02,270 --> 00:10:04,120
Tomorrow is the Jiuxiao Lantern Festival.
123
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360
After the festival,
I'll marry Commandery Princess.
124
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480
Don't wear that half-dead look on your face.
125
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,196
You should look full of joy.
126
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,962
He wants to cut ties with me,
127
00:10:14,962 --> 00:10:16,954
and told me not to look for him again.
128
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Is that why you've been so unhappy?
129
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,630
I just find it baffling.
130
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,177
In the past, when he pestered me,
I was utterly annoyed.
131
00:10:28,177 --> 00:10:30,790
But now that he suddenly walks away,
132
00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:33,550
I actually feel suffocated with anger.
133
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,280
I'm angry at myself...
134
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:38,280
for caring about him this much.
135
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,345
You must have lost your heart to him.
136
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,220
- Your Highness...
- You didn't mishear.
137
00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:50,790
Precisely because
you've lost your heart to him,
138
00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:52,400
you feel this way.
139
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,268
Please don't joke, Your Highness. He...
140
00:10:56,268 --> 00:10:57,360
He is a young man.
141
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,146
What if she isn't a man?
142
00:11:00,099 --> 00:11:01,536
Young Master Bu came to the capital
as a child.
143
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:03,340
So many people know him. How...
144
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,200
How...
145
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240
How could this be possible?
146
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,120
I've said enough.
147
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,800
If you want to know the answer,
find a way yourself.
148
00:11:23,740 --> 00:11:32,221
[Jiuxiao Lantern Festival]
149
00:11:42,030 --> 00:11:43,731
How incredible!
150
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,120
Cloud Moon Cake,
151
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,050
Plum Shadow Curd, and Snow Milk Balls.
152
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:14,046
These are all festive snacks
for the festival.
153
00:12:14,046 --> 00:12:15,356
Try them.
154
00:12:18,690 --> 00:12:20,470
Thank you, Your Highness.
155
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,432
Usually, I see you eat with great restraint.
156
00:12:24,432 --> 00:12:28,630
No matter how much you like something,
you stop after just a few bites.
157
00:12:28,630 --> 00:12:31,670
When you eat with me in the future,
there is no need to be so particular.
158
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:34,310
Eat as much as you want.
159
00:12:58,550 --> 00:13:03,480
A jade hairpin
signifies a proposal to a primary wife.
160
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:07,670
As the wind blows, the flowers bloom.
161
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:09,547
Just like my heart for you,
162
00:13:09,547 --> 00:13:12,510
they are the wind and flowers
that never miss their time.
163
00:13:12,510 --> 00:13:16,371
No matter how the years go by,
I will never fail you.
164
00:14:13,510 --> 00:14:15,630
Xi He,
165
00:14:15,630 --> 00:14:17,760
for as long as I can remember,
166
00:14:18,630 --> 00:14:23,000
my heart has never been this joyful.
167
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,750
I will strive to be a good wife to you,
168
00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:35,486
and a good Crown Princess.
169
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,960
But toward Your Highness,
I still have no romantic feelings.
170
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,000
I know that saying this now
might seem like a mood killer,
171
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,070
but I prefer to make everything clear.
172
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,670
I have always liked your honesty.
173
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760
You only need to remember our agreement.
174
00:14:59,510 --> 00:15:05,590
If one day you fall for me,
you must tell me right away.
175
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,380
Look over there.
176
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,907
They're flying so high up.
177
00:16:33,910 --> 00:16:38,710
Did Your Highness paint the painting
on the lantern shade yourself?
178
00:16:39,351 --> 00:16:40,631
Yes.
179
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,310
It depicts you and me, and...
180
00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:48,670
what our child would look like.
181
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:57,870
My promise to you
is made with the whole world as witness.
182
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:05,830
My heart for you will never change.
183
00:17:44,841 --> 00:17:47,721
Xi He, sleep well tonight.
184
00:18:05,470 --> 00:18:07,110
Let's go.
185
00:18:19,326 --> 00:18:21,381
Tian Yuan,
go protect the Commandery Princess.
186
00:18:23,584 --> 00:18:24,672
Commandery Princess.
187
00:18:24,672 --> 00:18:26,010
Go protect the Crown Prince now.
188
00:18:26,010 --> 00:18:28,528
- His Highness ordered me to protect you.
- Go now!
189
00:18:28,528 --> 00:18:30,400
We must not let you
come to the slightest harm.
190
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,382
Forgive me, but I cannot leave your side.
191
00:18:38,674 --> 00:18:41,000
Commandery Princess, you can't go over there.
192
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,414
It's too dangerous here.
Please go back now, Commandery Princess.
193
00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:06,160
The person who just passed by
was Princess Ding.
194
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,016
Li Yan Hui?
195
00:20:08,016 --> 00:20:10,790
Princess Ding was the princess
of the former Nanzhou State.
196
00:20:10,790 --> 00:20:14,040
Are there still subordinates
loyal to her by her side?
197
00:20:15,052 --> 00:20:16,497
Since Nanzhou surrendered,
198
00:20:16,497 --> 00:20:18,615
its people have become
citizens of our Daxing.
199
00:20:19,550 --> 00:20:23,550
However, there are some people
who only take orders from Li Yan Hui.
200
00:20:23,550 --> 00:20:25,530
Does Your Highness think
this assassination attempt
201
00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:27,700
is related to Princess Ding?
202
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,344
Today is the national memorial day
of Nanzhou.
203
00:20:31,344 --> 00:20:33,300
Li Yan Hui went out with her face covered,
204
00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,310
likely to quietly pay respects
to her former homeland.
205
00:20:38,580 --> 00:20:43,669
[Clarity and Serenity]
206
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,658
Your Highness, during the search,
207
00:20:57,658 --> 00:21:00,640
the Palace Guard found Prince Ding's Consort,
Li Yan Hui, by the river.
208
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,000
They asked why she was there late at night,
209
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,480
but she remained silent.
210
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,160
Just as they were in a bind,
211
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,680
Prince Ding arrived to vouch for her
and insisted on taking her away.
212
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,377
The riverside is a place
for memorial rituals.
213
00:21:12,377 --> 00:21:14,680
It seems your suspicion was correct,
Your Highness.
214
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,300
Li Yan Hui traveled masked at night
215
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,630
to pay tribute to her former homeland.
216
00:21:21,170 --> 00:21:24,310
Oh, right. She was bundled up tonight.
217
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:27,510
How did you determine right away
that she was Li Yan Hui?
218
00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:30,160
The scent I noticed on Li Yan Hui
219
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,590
is identical to the incense Prince Ding uses.
220
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,350
But you have only met them once.
221
00:21:40,350 --> 00:21:42,040
Once is enough.
222
00:21:44,830 --> 00:21:47,270
Even with the same ingredients,
if the ratio differs,
223
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:49,240
I can still detect it.
224
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,920
Last time, at Prince Ding's manor,
225
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,350
I noticed the incense Prince Ding used
was "Four Rejections Incense".
226
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:57,520
That is usually favored by poor scholars
227
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,240
to show their elegant contentment
with poverty.
228
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,030
The scent is faint.
229
00:22:01,030 --> 00:22:05,550
Yet Prince Ding carefully
blended top-tier ingredients.
230
00:22:05,550 --> 00:22:07,625
This formula must be his own creation.
231
00:22:07,625 --> 00:22:09,380
I could not have mistaken it.
232
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Your sense of smell is extraordinary.
233
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,350
You are uniquely gifted.
234
00:22:40,270 --> 00:22:42,680
Your Highness, what is wrong?
235
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,789
I never understood how Commandery Princess
236
00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:47,480
saw through my disguise so quickly.
237
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,480
I wanted to know,
if someone impersonates an official,
238
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,480
what would the punishment be?
239
00:22:54,321 --> 00:22:56,031
Now,
240
00:22:56,750 --> 00:22:58,800
I finally understand.
241
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,000
Every time before
I disguised myself to see her,
242
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,310
I would take a pill containing Tagara Incense
to alter my voice.
243
00:23:14,030 --> 00:23:18,590
She recognized it based on
the scent of Tagara Incense.
244
00:23:18,590 --> 00:23:20,350
The scent is very faint.
245
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:21,720
Normal people cannot detect it.
246
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,378
But the Commandery Princess can.
247
00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:26,750
The ratio of this Tagara Incense formula
248
00:23:26,750 --> 00:23:30,350
was custom-blended for me by the abbot
when I was at the Taoist temple.
249
00:23:30,350 --> 00:23:32,110
It is the only one.
250
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:35,264
Normally, I wear Father's sachet,
251
00:23:35,264 --> 00:23:37,070
which has a very strong herbal scent.
252
00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:39,479
So it masked
the lingering scent of Tagara Incense,
253
00:23:39,479 --> 00:23:41,200
preventing her from recognizing me.
254
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,580
Your Highness.
255
00:23:43,518 --> 00:23:45,793
Among those gifts you sent
to the Commandery Princess,
256
00:23:45,793 --> 00:23:49,503
one of them is a pair of
Tagara Incense bracelets.
257
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:53,800
She has not seen them yet.
258
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,510
If she sees it,
259
00:23:56,510 --> 00:23:59,640
she will know that I am the one
with the Tagara incense.
260
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,800
She will also understand
my strategy in court,
261
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,560
and she will understand...
262
00:24:05,052 --> 00:24:10,116
that I am not the man she thinks I am,
a Crown Prince with no backing.
263
00:24:10,116 --> 00:24:11,510
Your Highness.
264
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:12,928
Your Highness.
265
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Your Highness.
266
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,790
Quick! Summon the Chief Imperial Physician!
267
00:24:19,790 --> 00:24:21,030
Your Highness.
268
00:24:21,030 --> 00:24:22,480
Your Highness!
269
00:24:25,481 --> 00:24:27,920
Crown Prince's cold toxin is flaring up.
Prepare the medicinal bath.
270
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,089
- Yes, sir.
- Quick. Move faster, everyone.
271
00:24:44,244 --> 00:24:46,560
- Greetings, Your Majesty.
- Greetings, Your Majesty.
272
00:24:49,169 --> 00:24:50,759
Rise.
273
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,350
How is the Crown Prince?
274
00:24:53,350 --> 00:24:54,643
Your Majesty,
275
00:24:54,643 --> 00:24:58,590
the toxin in his body
is already hardest to suppress in winter.
276
00:24:58,590 --> 00:25:00,550
Today, a sudden surge
of severe anxiety and anger
277
00:25:00,550 --> 00:25:02,080
caused the toxin to spiral out of control.
278
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,280
Oh?
279
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,600
Tian Yuan,
280
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,593
why did the Crown Prince suffer
such a sudden surge of anxiety and anger?
281
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,456
I do not know either.
282
00:25:11,456 --> 00:25:14,576
It is my incompetence for failing
to take proper care of Crown Prince.
283
00:25:14,576 --> 00:25:16,400
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
284
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,323
Your Majesty, the Crown Prince
needs a medicinal bath,
285
00:25:19,323 --> 00:25:20,740
followed by acupuncture
to clear his acupoints,
286
00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:22,395
before his condition
can be temporarily eased.
287
00:25:22,395 --> 00:25:23,750
It's just that...
288
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:25,160
It's just what?
289
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,400
The risk is very high.
290
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,310
A single mistake could lead to...
291
00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:33,310
I have only a 30 percent chance of success.
292
00:25:33,310 --> 00:25:34,776
30 percent?
293
00:25:38,110 --> 00:25:40,466
Is there really no other way?
294
00:25:40,466 --> 00:25:42,160
The poison flared up too violently this time.
295
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,546
If we don't administer
acupuncture immediately,
296
00:25:43,546 --> 00:25:45,138
I'm afraid he might...
297
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,550
Your Majesty, let them treat him.
298
00:25:49,550 --> 00:25:52,350
At a time like this,
we can't afford to hesitate anymore.
299
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:53,480
Any further delay,
300
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,630
and I'm afraid Hua Yong
will be in grave danger.
301
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,193
What are you still standing there for?
Go treat him now.
302
00:26:00,193 --> 00:26:01,982
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
303
00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:15,374
Xi He, given Hua Yong's current condition,
304
00:26:15,374 --> 00:26:19,910
are you still willing
to marry into the East Palace?
305
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,640
Your father entrusted you to us.
306
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,520
If you want to back out now,
307
00:26:28,384 --> 00:26:31,024
we would never blame you.
308
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:37,664
Your Majesty, Grand Empress Dowager,
309
00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:42,510
husband and wife are one,
for better or worse.
310
00:26:42,510 --> 00:26:45,000
If I were the one lying
on the sickbed right now,
311
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,240
I wouldn't want my husband
to abandon me either.
312
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,270
The Crown Prince and I
share a bond of hearts.
313
00:26:52,270 --> 00:26:54,070
My mind is made up.
314
00:26:56,790 --> 00:26:59,400
To have such character and grace,
315
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,240
you are worthy of being the Crown Princess.
316
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:08,079
I shall take my leave.
317
00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:16,880
You You...
318
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,590
I'm here. What did you want to say?
319
00:27:25,590 --> 00:27:27,590
Why are your hands so cold?
320
00:27:30,110 --> 00:27:32,240
Go build up the charcoal fire.
321
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,478
- Move it closer.
- Yes.
322
00:27:33,478 --> 00:27:34,750
And bring another blanket.
323
00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:36,070
Yes.
324
00:27:57,054 --> 00:27:59,294
How can they still be this cold?
325
00:28:08,830 --> 00:28:10,350
All of you may leave us.
326
00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:11,800
- Yes.
- Yes.
327
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,830
You You...
328
00:28:30,830 --> 00:28:32,310
I'm here.
329
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:37,680
You You,
330
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,439
there are things I want to tell you.
331
00:28:39,439 --> 00:28:41,160
You don't need to say anything.
332
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,008
Just focus on getting better.
333
00:29:25,310 --> 00:29:28,592
Your Majesties, after the acupuncture,
334
00:29:28,592 --> 00:29:31,070
the toxin inside the Crown Prince's body
has been suppressed.
335
00:29:31,070 --> 00:29:34,030
Once he wakes up,
he will be out of danger.
336
00:29:34,030 --> 00:29:35,780
Wonderful.
337
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,910
I will be waiting outside the hall.
338
00:29:43,310 --> 00:29:44,790
Zhao Ning,
339
00:29:44,790 --> 00:29:47,720
you've been looking after Hua Yong
day and night without rest.
340
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,030
It's been hard on you.
341
00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:51,920
Commandery Princess Zhao Ning,
342
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,110
now you can finally put your mind at ease.
343
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:57,720
Go back and get some rest early.
344
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,590
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesties.
345
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:03,800
I will come to visit
the Crown Prince again tomorrow.
346
00:30:12,510 --> 00:30:15,590
If you keep pushing yourself
and fall ill as well,
347
00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:17,840
what are we to do then?
348
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,635
The Crown Prince's cold toxin
has been suppressed.
349
00:30:20,635 --> 00:30:22,750
We don't need to stay up
keeping watch anymore.
350
00:30:22,750 --> 00:30:24,400
The bed has already been scented.
351
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,240
Please go and get a good night's sleep.
352
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,910
I'm not tired yet.
353
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,590
There's one thing
I haven't been able to figure out.
354
00:30:32,590 --> 00:30:36,510
Right after I left the East Palace,
the Crown Prince had his relapse.
355
00:30:36,510 --> 00:30:40,550
When His Majesty asked about it,
Tian Yuan cast a glance at me.
356
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:43,110
Could it be...
357
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:45,310
that Crown Prince's
sudden surge of anxiety and anger
358
00:30:45,310 --> 00:30:46,920
actually had something to do with me?
359
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,030
And these past few days,
whenever Tian Yuan sees me,
360
00:30:50,030 --> 00:30:51,830
he acts so strangely.
361
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:54,768
The Crown Prince's health
has always been fluctuating.
362
00:30:54,768 --> 00:30:57,360
Please don't worry too much, Your Highness.
363
00:31:06,030 --> 00:31:07,685
Your Highness, the Grand Minister of Rites
364
00:31:07,685 --> 00:31:10,640
has arrived with
the imperial decree for your marriage.
365
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,030
By the grace of Heaven, a union is ordained.
366
00:31:14,030 --> 00:31:18,070
The Crown Prince is of
noble character and supreme virtue.
367
00:31:18,070 --> 00:31:21,160
As he has come of age,
the East Palace needs a mistress.
368
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,270
Shen Xi He, the eldest daughter
of Duke of Wei, Shen Yue Shan,
369
00:31:24,270 --> 00:31:26,750
comes from an illustrious family
and possesses all four virtues.
370
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,960
She is hereby betrothed to the Crown Prince.
371
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,110
By Imperial Order.
372
00:31:32,030 --> 00:31:33,760
Thank you, Your Majesty.
373
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,200
I accept the decree.
374
00:31:44,590 --> 00:31:46,720
Congratulations, Your Highness.
375
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,410
I must return to the palace to report.
376
00:31:48,410 --> 00:31:50,817
I'll visit another day
to offer my congratulations.
377
00:31:50,817 --> 00:31:52,693
Thank you for the trouble, Minister Zhang.
378
00:31:52,693 --> 00:31:54,813
Mo Yu, see our guest out.
379
00:32:03,903 --> 00:32:05,680
These are the betrothal gifts
from the Crown Prince.
380
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,801
Would you like to examine them,
Your Highness?
381
00:32:09,030 --> 00:32:10,944
Bring them all in.
382
00:32:10,944 --> 00:32:12,356
Yes, Your Highness.
383
00:32:20,550 --> 00:32:23,520
Your Highness, you're finally awake.
384
00:32:31,808 --> 00:32:33,753
Have you gotten back the pair of bracelets
385
00:32:33,753 --> 00:32:37,960
I gave the Commandery Princess
as her betrothal gift?
386
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,200
It is already too late.
387
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:40,840
What do you mean?
388
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,160
Commandery Princess,
there are 20 pieces of jade here.
389
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,400
I only brought a few chests
for you to look at first.
390
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,800
The rest are stored in the warehouse.
391
00:32:52,974 --> 00:32:56,509
There are also 50 kg of gold and
10,000 taels of silver in the warehouse.
392
00:32:57,264 --> 00:32:58,608
Look at this, Your Highness.
393
00:32:58,608 --> 00:33:02,030
This is a golden dangling hairpin
adorned with twin blossoms.
394
00:33:02,030 --> 00:33:03,350
And this one,
395
00:33:03,350 --> 00:33:06,720
a gold-threaded butterfly hairpin
with a dangling pearl.
396
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,760
How exquisite.
397
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,470
Lately, I tried everything I could,
398
00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:14,886
but those betrothal gifts had already
been registered the inventory.
399
00:33:14,886 --> 00:33:17,640
No one could touch them
without His Majesty's decree.
400
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,848
And early this morning,
401
00:33:18,848 --> 00:33:21,520
they were delivered to
the Duke of Wei's Manor.
402
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,095
There is also this,
a dragon-and-phoenix auspicious platter.
403
00:33:26,095 --> 00:33:28,790
You can use it when you have
pastries in the future, Your Highness.
404
00:33:28,790 --> 00:33:31,440
The Crown Prince sent so many gifts,
405
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,390
and each one was
chosen with the utmost care.
406
00:33:55,070 --> 00:33:57,000
Tagara Incense?
407
00:33:58,110 --> 00:34:01,240
What did you say, Your Highness?
408
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,000
My name is Hua Fu Hai.
409
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,440
I came today
410
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,256
hoping to request the return
of the Immortal Vine, Your Highness.
411
00:34:08,256 --> 00:34:10,590
The Embroidered Envoys are handling a case.
412
00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:14,656
Anyone who dares to interfere
will be executed without mercy.
413
00:34:14,656 --> 00:34:17,216
I'm Vice Minister Cui
of the Court of Judicial Review.
414
00:34:17,216 --> 00:34:19,504
I have been waiting here for you,
Your Highness,
415
00:34:19,504 --> 00:34:22,550
to investigate the case of
the escaped slave, Ling Long.
416
00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:23,964
In this world,
417
00:34:23,964 --> 00:34:27,319
the richest, the best fighters,
and those with the brightest futures
418
00:34:27,319 --> 00:34:29,590
all take orders from
the owner of this Tagara Incense.
419
00:34:29,590 --> 00:34:31,180
I am quite different.
420
00:34:31,180 --> 00:34:34,230
I have stayed away from the court for years
and am all by myself.
421
00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:39,760
I am just a frail, unnoticed,
and idle Crown Prince.
422
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,480
He managed to silently
infiltrate the Emperor's
423
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,383
most disciplined and secretive forces,
424
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:48,230
and he can even stand as an enemy
against Xiao Chang Qing and his brother.
425
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:51,445
This person is unpredictable.
426
00:34:58,646 --> 00:35:00,032
All of you may leave now.
427
00:35:00,032 --> 00:35:02,120
I want to be alone for a while.
428
00:35:25,220 --> 00:35:30,575
[East Palace]
429
00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:55,840
The Tagara Incense blend
on this bracelet is unique.
430
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,430
I have only ever smelled it on one person.
431
00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:04,080
So, it turns out
you are that Tagara Incense.
432
00:36:05,670 --> 00:36:09,080
You You, let me explain.
433
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,510
I am all ears.
434
00:36:24,836 --> 00:36:26,957
When I was gathering the Immortal Vine,
435
00:36:28,377 --> 00:36:30,287
I happened to save you.
436
00:36:31,710 --> 00:36:34,002
That was our first meeting,
437
00:36:34,002 --> 00:36:36,160
and there was no calculation involved.
438
00:36:37,382 --> 00:36:39,869
Seeing your cold detachment
toward Prince Lie,
439
00:36:40,924 --> 00:36:43,111
I was surprised.
440
00:36:43,111 --> 00:36:46,200
The wisdom and composure you showed
when taking the Rouge Ledger
441
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,240
made me curious.
442
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:54,632
The way you saw through my disguised identity
earned my admiration
443
00:36:54,632 --> 00:36:56,393
and won my heart even more.
444
00:36:56,393 --> 00:36:58,570
When the poison flared up
and I almost lost my life,
445
00:36:58,570 --> 00:37:00,480
it was you who gave the Immortal Vine
446
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,600
without a second thought
to a stranger like me.
447
00:37:08,739 --> 00:37:11,030
Before I knew it,
448
00:37:11,030 --> 00:37:13,013
I had already fallen too deep.
449
00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:17,910
Later, when I found out
I only had five years left to live,
450
00:37:19,623 --> 00:37:22,280
I did think about giving up
on this relationship.
451
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,880
But when I saw you fall off the cliff,
452
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,640
I suddenly realized...
453
00:37:28,568 --> 00:37:31,216
that I had already reached a point
where I couldn't let you go.
454
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,185
So, during that period of time,
455
00:37:36,185 --> 00:37:37,920
you told me you were leaving the capital,
456
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,760
but you actually went to the snowy peaks
457
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,560
to search for the Extreme Frost Cordyceps.
458
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,440
And it was because of this
459
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,430
that the poison blinded your eyes to colors.
460
00:37:48,709 --> 00:37:50,128
Yes.
461
00:37:50,128 --> 00:37:52,510
You play the part of a frail Crown Prince,
462
00:37:52,510 --> 00:37:56,150
yet you have been quietly recruiting forces
463
00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:58,091
and laying your trap in court,
464
00:37:58,091 --> 00:38:00,400
all just to find the person who poisoned you.
465
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,510
That person is hidden so deeply...
466
00:38:03,220 --> 00:38:05,700
that even now, there is not a single clue.
467
00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:08,310
That is why I never made things clear to you.
468
00:38:12,705 --> 00:38:16,190
Thank you for coming to my aid
time and again, Your Highness.
469
00:38:16,190 --> 00:38:20,070
I will do everything I can to repay you.
470
00:38:20,070 --> 00:38:23,783
But I ask Your Highness to cooperate,
and break off our engagement.
471
00:38:29,070 --> 00:38:30,709
What did you say?
472
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:33,280
Not only did you infiltrate
the Embroidered Envoys,
473
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,320
but you can also command
the wealthy Hua Fu Hai.
474
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Even Cui Jin Bai,
475
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,550
the young and powerful minister
His Majesty trusts most,
476
00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:42,510
is actually your subordinate.
477
00:38:42,510 --> 00:38:46,030
You have never been some innocent,
harmless, and weak Crown Prince.
478
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:49,190
If we turn against each other one day,
and I take a single misstep,
479
00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:50,670
I will be utterly destroyed,
480
00:38:50,670 --> 00:38:53,950
and it would even drag the Shen family
into eternal damnation.
481
00:38:56,188 --> 00:38:58,329
If I had looked at
the betrothal gift list earlier,
482
00:38:58,329 --> 00:39:00,930
there wouldn't have
been a marriage decree at all.
483
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,160
You weighed the pros and cons...
484
00:39:06,952 --> 00:39:08,962
and considered everything,
485
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,742
yet you failed to consider me.
486
00:39:12,742 --> 00:39:14,840
In the end, you never believed
in my true feelings for you.
487
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,960
What do true feelings matter?
488
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,630
How many true feelings
489
00:39:18,630 --> 00:39:22,320
change in an instant
when faced with conflicts of power?
490
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,630
I cannot do this at the expense
of my loved ones,
491
00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:29,430
nor can I risk everything
to gamble on a heart staying true forever.
492
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:53,164
[Sea Within the Heart]
493
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,551
Before the Grand Historian
sets the wedding date,
494
00:39:59,551 --> 00:40:02,030
please think it over carefully,
Your Highness.
495
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,400
I will never allow you,
496
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:30,800
while I am still alive,
497
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,389
to marry anyone else.
498
00:40:35,070 --> 00:40:38,440
Any man of the imperial family
is mine to choose.
499
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,678
Even in front of His Majesty,
I would dare to say these words.
500
00:40:56,230 --> 00:40:58,266
It doesn't matter what choice you make.
501
00:40:59,510 --> 00:41:01,160
In the end,
502
00:41:02,630 --> 00:41:04,560
you can only choose me.
503
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,800
I will take my leave.
504
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,720
Commandery Princess,
how did your talk with the Crown Prince go?
505
00:42:50,095 --> 00:42:52,505
I want to part with him on good terms.
506
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,371
Right now, I only regret
507
00:42:56,371 --> 00:42:58,960
that I shouldn't have
provoked him in the first place.
508
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,000
Before, I only thought
the Crown Prince was deep.
509
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Only now do I realize
his abilities are so terrifying.
510
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,480
If he holds a grudge
over you calling off the wedding
511
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:08,900
and becomes our enemy,
512
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:10,480
what should we do, Your Highness?
513
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,278
If it's a fair and square battle,
514
00:43:12,278 --> 00:43:15,430
win or lose, I will accept the outcome.
515
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,461
I just don't want to
deal with him hypocritically,
516
00:43:19,461 --> 00:43:22,880
and I don't want us to
guard against each other the most.
517
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,024
Commandery Princess,
518
00:43:24,024 --> 00:43:26,000
do you really not plan
to marry into the East Palace?
519
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,430
No, I don't.
520
00:43:31,330 --> 00:43:36,581
[East Palace]
521
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,738
Who else is a better match for you than me,
522
00:44:01,738 --> 00:44:05,280
who has a legitimate imperial descent,
and a short life expectancy?
523
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,050
Legitimate imperial descent can be changed.
524
00:44:10,050 --> 00:44:13,433
Whether your life is short
or not can be orchestrated.
525
00:44:14,401 --> 00:44:15,761
Get out.
