(East Palace)
2
00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:17,920
The Crown Prince died
saving His Majesty.
3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,830
His Majesty has ordered the Ministry
of Rites to hold a state funeral,
4
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:24,320
(East Palace)
and bury him with an emperor's honors.
5
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,190
Court is suspended for three days,
and the whole nation shall mourn.
6
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,160
Respect this.

00:00:31,540 --> 00:00:38,460
(Spirit Tablet of the Late Prince Chen
of Daxing, Xiao Huayong)
8
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:17,840
After we got married,
9
00:01:19,790 --> 00:01:21,400
I made you so many clothes.
10
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,590
You didn't even get to wear them.
11
00:01:26,688 --> 00:01:28,200
You were always afraid of the cold.
12
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,784
(Spirit Tablet of the Late Prince Chen
of Daxing, Xiao Huayong)
13
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,310
Take them all with you.
14
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Noble Consort Rong has arrived!
15
00:01:58,150 --> 00:01:59,680
My condolences, Crown Princess.
16
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,950
The Crown Prince died so young.
17
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,070
His Majesty is heartbroken,
18
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,150
and his health is deteriorating.
19
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,590
The Empress Dowager
is also overwhelmed with grief.
20
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:13,190
This massive inner palace
21
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,310
has lost its pillar.
22
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:17,240
Everyone is in a state of panic,
23
00:02:17,264 --> 00:02:19,088
and there are many matters to attend to.
24
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,910
What you mean is...
25
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,280
As for the management
of the Six Palaces...
26
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,800
Now that
27
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:31,430
you are newly widowed,
28
00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:34,190
it seems you can no longer
bear the burden.
29
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:37,560
I shall reluctantly step in
30
00:02:38,096 --> 00:02:40,870
and temporarily assume this power
to bring peace to the inner palace.
31
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:43,560
I ask you
32
00:02:43,616 --> 00:02:45,400
to hand over the seal
of the inner palace
33
00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:47,150
to me.
34
00:02:56,544 --> 00:02:58,672
The nation is in mourning,
and our family is grieving.
35
00:02:59,104 --> 00:03:00,520
Heaven and earth share our sorrow.
36
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,080
Instead of
37
00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:05,630
comforting His Majesty
38
00:03:05,712 --> 00:03:07,328
and attending to the Empress Dowager,
39
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,280
you come before his spirit tablet,
40
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,000
before the heroic spirit
of the Crown Prince,
41
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,910
to demand power.
42
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:20,190
Crown Princess,
43
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,000
the Crown Prince has passed away.
44
00:03:22,310 --> 00:03:23,840
According to ancestral rules,
45
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,470
you should move
to a separate courtyard to rest
46
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:28,520
to show the royal family's compassion.
47
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Noble Consort Rong is highly respected
48
00:03:31,630 --> 00:03:33,340
and can temporarily
manage palace affairs
49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,590
to stabilize the situation.
50
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,310
You should know
51
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,150
to prioritize the greater good.
52
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,310
Please hand over the seal immediately
53
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,120
and move out of the East Palace.
54
00:04:06,864 --> 00:04:08,400
The power to manage the inner palace
55
00:04:08,464 --> 00:04:10,256
was granted to me
by His Majesty himself.
56
00:04:11,310 --> 00:04:12,470
You three clan elders
57
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:15,360
keep talking about ancestral rules.
58
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040
May I ask, the Crown Prince
died saving His Majesty,
59
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:19,920
yet in this mourning hall,
60
00:04:20,510 --> 00:04:22,190
you do not kneel or bow
61
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,430
to comfort his heroic spirit,
62
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,120
instead, you force his widow
to hand over her power
63
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,120
and move out of her home.
64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Is this your so-called etiquette?
65
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:30,270
Your so-called decency?
66
00:04:30,368 --> 00:04:32,400
Your so-called prioritizing
the greater good?
67
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:35,720
Crown Princess,
68
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:38,270
times have changed.
69
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,040
The nation is facing difficulties.
70
00:04:40,112 --> 00:04:41,488
The nation is facing difficulties?
71
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,919
So you can commit such
72
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,510
unjust, unrighteous and shameless acts
73
00:04:45,510 --> 00:04:46,920
before his heroic spirit?
74
00:04:47,750 --> 00:04:49,000
You want power.
75
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,160
You want the East Palace.
76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Fine.
77
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,190
Then I will give you an answer.
78
00:04:57,264 --> 00:04:58,750
The Empress Dowager's edict is here.
79
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:06,830
"The Crown Prince has recently passed,
80
00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:08,360
and His Majesty is unwell.
81
00:05:08,430 --> 00:05:10,040
(Empress Dowager's Edict)
I am heartbroken and deeply grieved.
82
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,430
Crown Princess Shen
83
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,830
has always managed the Six Palaces
with great merit.
84
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,680
In these extraordinary times,
85
00:05:15,792 --> 00:05:17,390
I specifically order the Crown Princess
86
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:19,488
to temporarily manage all affairs
of the East Palace
87
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,800
and govern the Six Palaces,
88
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,160
to comfort His Majesty
89
00:05:22,448 --> 00:05:24,600
and console the Crown Prince's spirit
in heaven.
90
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,430
Anyone who dares to cause trouble
91
00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:27,630
or disrupt palace rules
92
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,120
will be severely punished."
93
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,750
You actually requested
an edict in advance!
94
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:36,000
Noble Consort Rong
95
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:38,120
and the three clan elders,
96
00:05:39,070 --> 00:05:40,680
your words and actions just now
97
00:05:40,830 --> 00:05:42,040
disregarded etiquette and law.
98
00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:44,630
Spouting nonsense
before the Crown Prince's spirit tablet
99
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:45,800
is highly disrespectful.
100
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:47,190
Today,
101
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,430
you must, before this spirit tablet,
102
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,270
and under this imperial edict,
103
00:05:51,750 --> 00:05:53,270
beg forgiveness from the Crown Prince.
104
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Kneel!
105
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Kneel!
106
00:06:07,820 --> 00:06:10,300
(Mourning)
107
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,070
Noble Consort Rong,
108
00:06:36,430 --> 00:06:37,560
tomorrow, please
109
00:06:38,270 --> 00:06:40,390
move to His Majesty's palace
to attend to his illness.
110
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:44,160
I
111
00:06:47,310 --> 00:06:48,310
obey your command.
112
00:06:53,510 --> 00:06:55,000
Three elders, please rest assured.
113
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,720
As long as I am here,
114
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,750
this East Palace
115
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:00,240
will be guarded by me.
116
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,000
The sky of the East Palace
117
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,950
will not fall.
118
00:07:03,870 --> 00:07:07,008
- We obey your command, Your Highness.
- We obey your command, Your Highness.

122
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Greetings, Your Highness.
123
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,670
You may rise.
124
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,030
Yunhuai,
125
00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:53,200
I heard you refused
to inherit the noble title.
126
00:08:54,910 --> 00:08:55,480
Yes.
127
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,720
I will never forget
the Crown Prince's kindness
128
00:09:01,312 --> 00:09:02,896
to my mother for the rest of my life.
129
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,870
But I have grown tired
130
00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:07,750
of the filth within these noble manors.
131
00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:10,150
Furthermore, I lack the talent
to govern the country.
132
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,870
Inheriting the title
133
00:09:12,256 --> 00:09:14,576
would just be holding a position
without doing any real work.
134
00:09:14,928 --> 00:09:15,840
For the rest of my life,
135
00:09:15,856 --> 00:09:17,910
I wish to find solace
in the mountains and wilderness,
136
00:09:18,030 --> 00:09:20,440
compile medical prescriptions
to save lives,
137
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,720
and treat more patients.
138
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,120
This way, I won't
139
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,480
let down the good intentions
of both the Crown Prince and you.
140
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:29,960
The rest of your life is long.
141
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:31,840
I respect your wishes.
142
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:34,390
But if one day,
143
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:35,720
you change your mind,
144
00:09:36,270 --> 00:09:37,550
you can come find me anytime.
145
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:43,840
Thank you, Your Highness.
146
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:50,600
The Crown Prince once said
147
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,120
that what he couldn't let go of the most
148
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,670
were you, Crown Princess, and his child.
149
00:09:56,550 --> 00:09:58,120
If you ever need anything in the future,
150
00:09:58,688 --> 00:10:01,120
you can send a message to me
using the Crown Prince's method.
151
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,750
I am willing to do anything
for you and your child
152
00:10:03,776 --> 00:10:05,240
even if it means sacrificing my life.
153
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,200
I will not hesitate.

clothes for masters of the Six Palaces

Your Highness,
230
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,470
the Fifth Prince comes to seek
an audience with you every day.
231
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,064
He says if he doesn't see you this time,
232
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:41,160
he won't leave.
233
00:17:42,510 --> 00:17:43,200
I won't see him.
234
00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:49,240
Why not?
235
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,160
I am the Crown Prince's widow.
236
00:18:00,310 --> 00:18:02,550
Meeting a man privately
during the mourning period
237
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,030
is inappropriate.
238
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,880
You have been
239
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,480
keeping to yourself lately.
240
00:18:09,856 --> 00:18:12,144
After the chaos at the
Empress Dowager's birthday banquet,
241
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,030
my father fell ill.
242
00:18:17,070 --> 00:18:18,400
I have become the Regent,
243
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:21,440
handling state affairs on his behalf.
244
00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:25,160
Congratulations, Your Highness.
245
00:18:46,576 --> 00:18:48,800
Your Highness,
please do not be disrespectful.
246
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:53,790
You may leave.
247
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,790
Your Highness.
248
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:56,720
Leave us.
249
00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:07,830
What he could do,
250
00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:10,790
I can do as well.
251
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,400
This was given to me by my late husband.
252
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,110
Others
253
00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:24,030
must not touch it.
254
00:19:39,424 --> 00:19:41,300
My mother made things difficult
for you again,
255
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:41,960
didn't she?
256
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,920
I won't let these trivial matters
257
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,288
cause trouble with my elders.
258
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,750
You don't need to worry.
259
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,160
The way you speak now
260
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,440
is exactly like the Crown Prince.
261
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,400
We were husband and wife, one entity,
262
00:19:57,696 --> 00:19:59,360
closely connected to each other.
263
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
It's all his fault
264
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,750
for leaving you in such a dilemma.
265
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,350
He has passed away.
266
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,350
People...
267
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,550
must always look forward.
268
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:26,070
I offer the same words to you.
269
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:36,920
Please conduct yourself with dignity.
270
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:43,350
I know you have great ambitions,
271
00:20:44,288 --> 00:20:46,544
but the palace is full
of hidden dangers right now.
272
00:20:47,070 --> 00:20:47,960
How can you alone
273
00:20:48,030 --> 00:20:49,680
deal with the struggles in the court?
274
00:20:50,590 --> 00:20:51,590
Trust me this once.
275
00:20:53,550 --> 00:20:54,920
Let me protect you.
276
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,000
No matter what situation
277
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,790
I will face in the future,
278
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,590
I can face it myself.
279
00:21:33,070 --> 00:21:35,590
Your Highness, these are prepared
according to your orders
280
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640
for the Crown Princess's child.
281
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,200
You did well.
282
00:22:00,510 --> 00:22:01,240
You may leave.
283
00:22:02,352 --> 00:22:03,160
Yes, Your Highness.
284
00:22:41,310 --> 00:22:43,750
Prince Xin has entered the palace again?
285
00:22:45,310 --> 00:22:46,480
Lately,
286
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,550
Prince Xin is in the palace every day.
287
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:50,030
Rumor has it
288
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,480
that it's all for the Crown Princess.
289
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,400
Li Simeng,
290
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720
at age two, could speak of his past life
291
00:23:04,110 --> 00:23:05,110
in great detail.
292
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,880
At age six, he went to Mount Li,
293
00:23:07,550 --> 00:23:10,750
and met an old lady named Feng
on Qifan Street.
294
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,440
He cried and threw himself
into her arms,
295
00:23:14,030 --> 00:23:16,590
saying Feng was his mother
in his past life.
296
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:20,030
Everything he said
about his past life was verified.
297
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:22,270
(Could it be)
298
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,640
(that Shen Xihe...)
299
00:23:39,310 --> 00:23:40,440
Greetings, Your Highness.
300
00:23:42,590 --> 00:23:43,680
Why do you wish
301
00:23:44,070 --> 00:23:45,110
to see me?
302
00:23:45,744 --> 00:23:47,400
The Crown Prince,
to protect His Majesty,
303
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,590
unfortunately passed away.
304
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,510
You have been managing the funeral,
305
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,790
grieving day and night.
306
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,680
I have been worried about you
307
00:23:54,550 --> 00:23:55,920
and wish to share your burden.
308
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,240
How can you even say such things?
309
00:24:00,310 --> 00:24:01,680
I deeply regret my past actions.
310
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,070
I genuinely care about you.
311
00:24:05,030 --> 00:24:06,000
Because
312
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,000
you are my only remaining family
in this world.
313
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:15,480
What nonsense are you spouting now?
314
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,200
I have consulted historical records.
315
00:24:17,350 --> 00:24:18,270
Throughout history,
316
00:24:18,270 --> 00:24:20,200
such shocking and bizarre events
actually exist,
317
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,240
and they are not uncommon.
318
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,184
I have no choice but to believe it.
319
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:26,240
Qingzhi,
320
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,510
the Gu family suffered a massacre.
321
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:31,110
I was truly left all alone and helpless.
322
00:24:31,216 --> 00:24:32,310
In order to protect myself,
323
00:24:32,336 --> 00:24:34,470
the Empress Dowager promised me
the position of Princess Consort Ning.
324
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,720
To not let our father down,
325
00:24:36,070 --> 00:24:37,510
and the entire Gu family,
326
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,550
even if I had to resort
to any means and be despised,
327
00:24:41,550 --> 00:24:42,830
I had to survive.
328
00:24:45,504 --> 00:24:47,000
What exactly are you trying to do?
329
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,640
This is our mother's only relic.
330
00:24:57,070 --> 00:24:58,270
You must recognize it.
331
00:24:59,030 --> 00:25:00,590
We were not born of the same mother,
332
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,960
but Mother treated me as her own.
333
00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:04,400
Now,
334
00:25:04,550 --> 00:25:06,200
I am returning this golden lock to you.
335
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,590
I can finally be at peace.
336
00:25:36,510 --> 00:25:37,750
You tampered with
337
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,680
this golden lock.
338
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,000
You hid something dirty inside.
339
00:25:43,488 --> 00:25:45,472
There is a rare poison
from the Western Regions,
340
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,040
modified from an incense formula.
341
00:25:48,830 --> 00:25:50,480
Once it touches the skin,
342
00:25:50,790 --> 00:25:52,110
it corrodes the internal organs.
343
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,440
There is no cure.
344
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:55,310
You hid that poisonous powder
345
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,240
inside this golden lock.
346
00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:59,880
You are trying to kill me.
347
00:26:01,270 --> 00:26:01,960
Qingzhi.
348
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,880
Your tears come so easily.
349
00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:07,030
It's just a pity
350
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:08,640
that your acting is terrible.
351
00:26:12,350 --> 00:26:13,160
Qingzhi,
352
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,590
why do you wrong my sincere intentions?
353
00:26:16,550 --> 00:26:17,720
I am not your sister.
354
00:26:18,510 --> 00:26:20,270
Even the most heinous villains
355
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,310
have a fleeting moment
356
00:26:22,750 --> 00:26:24,240
of conscience.
357
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:26,550
But your coldness
358
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,640
has chilled you to the bone.
359
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,030
A person as vicious as you
360
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,790
is truly rare.
361
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:34,270
Tell me,
362
00:26:35,790 --> 00:26:37,350
who instigated you to come to me?
363
00:26:40,550 --> 00:26:41,350
No one.
364
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,790
I just hate you to the core.
365
00:26:47,030 --> 00:26:48,830
A helpless orphan like you...
366
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,480
Where did you get the nerve
367
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,070
to confront the East Palace?
368
00:26:56,830 --> 00:26:58,750
Whether you are Shen Xihe
369
00:26:58,750 --> 00:27:00,110
or Gu Qingzhi,
370
00:27:01,550 --> 00:27:04,200
seeing this inherently noble
and composed face of yours,
371
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:06,030
I just want to tear it to pieces!
372
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,400
Since you are so smart,
373
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,510
go find your answers in the underworld!
374
00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:29,030
What can you do to me?
375
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,350
Whether you live
376
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:39,790
or die
377
00:27:42,590 --> 00:27:44,110
is entirely up to you.
378
00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:17,000
Gu Qingshu
379
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:18,750
attempted to murder the royal heir.
380
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,880
Her crime is punishable by death.
381
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Mo Yu,
382
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,350
go invite His Majesty.
383
00:28:46,270 --> 00:28:47,480
I will wait here.
384
00:28:49,136 --> 00:28:50,064
Yes, Your Highness.
385
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,310
Greetings, Your Majesty.
386
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Greetings, Empress Dowager.
387
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,350
Xihe,
388
00:29:30,790 --> 00:29:32,440
what exactly happened?
389
00:29:32,464 --> 00:29:34,090
Please allow me to explain,
Your Majesty.
390
00:29:34,350 --> 00:29:35,790
Since the Crown Prince passed away,
391
00:29:36,496 --> 00:29:38,680
I have been living in seclusion
in the East Palace.
392
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Second Young Lady Gu said she wanted
to bring me a pregnancy tonic.
393
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,110
Thinking she had good intentions,
394
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,400
I agreed to see her.
395
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,030
But who would have thought
396
00:29:47,030 --> 00:29:49,400
she would give me a golden lock
hiding poisonous powder?
397
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,440
After her plot was exposed,
398
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,896
she drew a dagger to assassinate me.
399
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:55,200
Ultimately, she fell into her own trap
400
00:29:55,248 --> 00:29:56,550
and died from her own poison.
401
00:29:57,856 --> 00:29:59,720
I have never had any intention
to harm anyone.
402
00:30:01,550 --> 00:30:02,160
Your Majesty,
403
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,270
Second Young Lady Gu's personal maid
404
00:30:04,336 --> 00:30:06,096
is requesting an audience
outside the hall.
405
00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:08,070
Your Majesty,
406
00:30:08,750 --> 00:30:09,920
coming to report at this time,
407
00:30:10,510 --> 00:30:12,240
she must know some inside information.
408
00:30:13,550 --> 00:30:14,310
Summon her.
409
00:30:14,896 --> 00:30:15,984
Yes, Your Majesty.
410
00:30:19,510 --> 00:30:20,880
I beg Your Majesty for justice.
411
00:30:21,070 --> 00:30:22,160
My lady
412
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,880
was murdered by the Crown Princess!
413
00:30:24,070 --> 00:30:25,920
She was murdered by the Crown Princess!
414
00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:27,960
Did you see it with your own eyes?
415
00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:30,680
Insolent!
416
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:33,880
Since you didn't see it,
417
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,160
how do you know?
418
00:30:39,664 --> 00:30:42,640
When the Fourth Prince staged a coup and
attempted to assassinate Your Majesty,
419
00:30:42,704 --> 00:30:44,816
the East Palace knew
about it in advance.
420
00:30:44,830 --> 00:30:46,590
Yet the Crown Prince concealed it
421
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:48,240
and let it happen.
422
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,960
My lady
423
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,960
found out about this by accident.
424
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:53,808
Knowing she was in grave danger,
425
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,240
before entering the palace
to see the Crown Princess this time,
426
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,680
she wrote a letter with her own hand
427
00:30:57,750 --> 00:30:58,680
and instructed me
428
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,350
that if she didn't return
for a long time,
429
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,720
I should present this letter
430
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,030
to Your Majesty.
431
00:31:20,016 --> 00:31:22,400
The assassination attempt that day
was extremely perilous.
432
00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:25,000
If the Crown Prince truly concealed it,
433
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:29,400
even though he died saving Your Majesty,
434
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,310
the East Palace gained endless benefits.
435
00:31:33,550 --> 00:31:34,680
Thinking about it this way,
436
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,590
if it was
437
00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:39,200
a meticulously calculated scheme,
438
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,830
it's not entirely impossible.
439
00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:55,680
Based on just a single letter,
440
00:31:56,144 --> 00:31:58,550
you dare to falsely accuse
the Crown Prince with empty words?
441
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,680
Insolent!
442
00:32:00,608 --> 00:32:02,944
How dare you behave so recklessly
before Your Majesty?
443
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,160
The Crown Prince sacrificed his life
to protect the country.
444
00:32:08,944 --> 00:32:11,200
Yet you, Noble Consort Rong,
right here in the hall,
445
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,880
make such malicious speculations,
446
00:32:13,030 --> 00:32:14,400
openly slandering a heroic spirit.
447
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,200
As the Crown Princess,
448
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,880
I must protect my husband's reputation.
449
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,536
How can I tolerate this any longer?
450
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,750
I beg Your Majesty for justice
451
00:32:23,310 --> 00:32:24,640
to clear the East Palace's name.
452
00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:28,240
Your Majesty,
453
00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:31,200
I had no intention
of slandering the Crown Prince.
454
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:32,590
I...
455
00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:35,510
will never allow anyone
456
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,790
to speak nonsense
457
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,440
and tarnish
the Crown Prince's reputation.
458
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Anyone who violates this
459
00:32:41,952 --> 00:32:42,720
will be executed!
460
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:47,550
Today,
461
00:32:47,790 --> 00:32:50,640
Gu Qingshu ending up like this
462
00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:53,000
is entirely her own fault.
463
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:07,340
(Prince Xin's Manor)
464
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,880
Your Highness, you invited me here,
465
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,830
is it about Gu Qingshu?
466
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,240
No.
467
00:33:26,384 --> 00:33:28,448
I thought you were going
to hold me accountable.
468
00:33:29,110 --> 00:33:29,880
After all,
469
00:33:30,032 --> 00:33:31,480
she has always been under your care.
470
00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:33,000
I only care about you.
471
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,270
Since you have nothing else to discuss,
472
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,310
I'll take my leave.
473
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Come with me.
474
00:34:07,510 --> 00:34:08,360
Do you remember?
475
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,110
These are all the poems you left behind.
476
00:34:16,590 --> 00:34:18,280
When you were still an unmarried maiden,
477
00:34:20,150 --> 00:34:21,590
every time you released a new work,
478
00:34:22,176 --> 00:34:24,110
all the young scholars
and ladies in the city
479
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,400
would scramble to read it.
480
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,280
Among your many admirers,
481
00:34:34,630 --> 00:34:36,110
I was the most passionate one.
482
00:34:37,550 --> 00:34:38,920
What exactly do you want?
483
00:34:53,056 --> 00:34:55,400
Supervising the execution
of the entire Gu family back then
484
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,920
was my fault.
485
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,670
It was me who failed to protect you
486
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,030
and the Gu family.
487
00:35:10,070 --> 00:35:11,480
Now, I want
488
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,760
to spend the rest of my life
making up for it.
489
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,510
Qingqing,
490
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,230
don't leave me behind again.
491
00:35:31,190 --> 00:35:32,280
Your Highness,
492
00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:36,190
stop deceiving yourself.
493
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,440
You and I
494
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,070
are strangers to begin with.
495
00:35:40,510 --> 00:35:41,190
No.
496
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,280
From beginning to end, and from now on,
497
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,440
I have always been your husband.
498
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,960
I only have
499
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,400
one husband,
500
00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:53,880
and that is Xiao Huayong.
501
00:35:57,190 --> 00:35:58,320
In this world,
502
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,880
no one can compare to him.
503
00:36:09,710 --> 00:36:10,960
I also once thought
504
00:36:11,590 --> 00:36:13,360
you were born cold and heartless.
505
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,880
I didn't expect your heart
could be warmed.
506
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,880
But that person
507
00:36:19,150 --> 00:36:19,880
wasn't you.
508
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,710
Tell me,
509
00:36:26,070 --> 00:36:27,590
why is it Xiao Huayong,
510
00:36:27,590 --> 00:36:28,670
and not me?
511
00:36:36,670 --> 00:36:37,800
Your so-called love
512
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,110
is in the name of protection,
513
00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:41,670
but in reality, it's just possession.
514
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,840
But the Crown Prince
515
00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:46,400
risked his life
516
00:36:47,070 --> 00:36:48,440
to help me become
517
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,480
the master of my own fate.

What exactly are you trying to do?
542
00:38:59,568 --> 00:39:02,240
You haven't eaten or drunk anything
for three whole days!
543
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,230
Do you really want to die?
544
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,280
Say something!
545
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,000
Speak!
546
00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:13,590
Speak!
547
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:28,550
How could I bear to die?
548
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,230
If even the gods refuse to save me,
549
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,440
then I'll save myself.
550
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,030
Your Highness,
551
00:40:34,510 --> 00:40:36,630
His Majesty is currently in poor health.
552
00:40:36,672 --> 00:40:38,480
You are the appointed regent.
553
00:40:38,512 --> 00:40:40,150
In terms of civil and military prowess,
554
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,230
who among the princes can surpass you?
555
00:40:42,710 --> 00:40:44,590
If you rally your supporters now,
556
00:40:44,590 --> 00:40:46,440
the throne will be yours for the taking.
557
00:40:46,496 --> 00:40:47,760
If you hesitate any longer,
558
00:40:47,770 --> 00:40:49,950
and wait until the Crown Princess
gives birth to an heir,
559
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,280
even with your monumental talents,
560
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,760
you will only be paving the way
for others.
561
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:57,320
At most, you'll be appointed
to the cabinet
562
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,800
to assist a young ruler.
563
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,070
Your Highness,
564
00:41:01,190 --> 00:41:03,110
you must also consider the Rong family.
565
00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:04,510
When the Duke of Ying was alive,
566
00:41:04,510 --> 00:41:06,480
how illustrious our Rong family was.
567
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,168
Noble Consort Rong was also
the most favored in the inner palace.
568
00:41:09,230 --> 00:41:11,400
But now that the Duke of Ying
has passed away,
569
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,488
Noble Consort Rong no longer
enjoys her former favor.
570
00:41:13,490 --> 00:41:15,540
You bear the responsibility
of protecting our family
571
00:41:15,550 --> 00:41:16,880
and restoring our family's honor.
572
00:41:16,944 --> 00:41:19,070
If Shen Xihe's status rises
because of her child,
573
00:41:19,070 --> 00:41:21,030
the Northwest Army will dominate alone.
574
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:22,150
When that time comes,
575
00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:23,030
in the imperial court,
576
00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:25,630
there will be no place
for our Rong family.
577
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,110
Your Highness,
578
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,400
forgive my bluntness,
579
00:41:30,112 --> 00:41:31,480
but things have come to a point
580
00:41:31,550 --> 00:41:32,800
where there is no turning back.
581
00:41:32,896 --> 00:41:34,710
Although the Crown Princess is
but a woman,
582
00:41:35,110 --> 00:41:36,550
her intellect and methods
583
00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:37,880
are well known to everyone here.
584
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,070
In my opinion,
585
00:41:39,230 --> 00:41:40,880
we might as well go all the way
586
00:41:41,110 --> 00:41:42,280
to kill Shen Xihe
587
00:41:42,368 --> 00:41:43,990
and eliminate the threat
once and for all.
588
00:41:44,030 --> 00:41:44,670
Your Highness,
589
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,590
we have already devised a sound plan.
590
00:41:46,710 --> 00:41:48,440
When the time comes, Shen Xihe's death
591
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,000
will be blamed on palace intrigue.
592
00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:51,230
Even if they investigate,
593
00:41:51,230 --> 00:41:54,000
they will only find
an insignificant scapegoat.
594
00:41:54,496 --> 00:41:57,570
- For Your Highness, we are all willing
- For Your Highness, we are all willing
595
00:41:57,584 --> 00:42:00,110
- to risk our lives!
- to risk our lives!
596
00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:04,960
Your Highness,
597
00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:06,230
time waits for no one.
598
00:42:06,272 --> 00:42:08,710
The rise and fall, the honor
and disgrace of the Rong family,
599
00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:11,510
all depend on your decision.
600
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,110
Your Highness,
601
00:42:16,630 --> 00:42:18,150
I am willing to be that sword.
602
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Once it's done, all the blame
603
00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:22,440
will be borne by me alone.
604
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,552
My only wish is for you
605
00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:25,030
to ascend the throne.
606
00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:31,760
I have heard
607
00:42:33,710 --> 00:42:34,840
everything you've all said.
608
00:42:35,552 --> 00:42:37,800
For all these years,
you have served our Rong family
609
00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:39,400
tirelessly.
610
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:42,400
Your loyalty
611
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,150
is something I will never forget.
612
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,710
You are wise, Your Highness.
613
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,190
However,
614
00:42:50,670 --> 00:42:52,000
I will not kill
615
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Shen Xihe.
616
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,280
In fact,
617
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,800
she will become my princess consort.
618
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:08,070
This...
619
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,480
How can this be?
620
00:43:27,088 --> 00:43:29,960
It's been a while since the East Palace
guards have been replaced, right?
621
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:31,280
What exactly are you trying to do?
622
00:43:31,344 --> 00:43:33,310
I want to be the father
of the child in your womb.
623
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:34,630
You're insane.
624
00:43:34,710 --> 00:43:36,710
Now that I can have the entire world,
625
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,230
is there anything I can't have?
626
00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:39,360
Changqing,
627
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,670
what on earth are you doing?
628
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,400
I'm going to marry Shen Xihe.
629
00:43:42,528 --> 00:43:44,896
I will give her the best of everything
in this world.
