1
00:00:56,304 --> 00:01:02,600
(The Shadow Sovereign)
2
00:01:02,775 --> 00:01:05,440
(Episode 14)
3
00:01:10,475 --> 00:01:14,518
Jin Cheng from Prince Qi's family is still unmarried.
4
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:18,618
I think Shen Xiao would be a good choice.
5
00:01:22,917 --> 00:01:24,480
Father, your wisdom is unmatched.
6
00:01:24,888 --> 00:01:26,450
Shen Xiao may come from a modest background,
7
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:28,275
but he's incredibly talented.
8
00:01:28,762 --> 00:01:30,520
He deserves to marry Jin Cheng.
9
00:01:32,795 --> 00:01:37,000
In that case, I'll let you handle this.
10
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,161
Once the timing is right,
11
00:01:39,283 --> 00:01:41,805
I'll grant the marriage decree.
12
00:01:45,779 --> 00:01:47,000
I accept your order.
13
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:00,261
Why are you still up?
14
00:02:01,283 --> 00:02:02,504
Your Highness.
15
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,061
In a few days, it's the Night Lantern Festival.
16
00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:10,422
Can we go see the fireworks together?
17
00:02:14,643 --> 00:02:15,864
Sure.
18
00:02:34,619 --> 00:02:36,360
Not only didn't Zhao Yang die,
19
00:02:36,579 --> 00:02:38,920
but she even divorced Cui Jin Zhi.
20
00:02:39,707 --> 00:02:42,056
She's clearly challenging me.
21
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,321
Your Highness, calm down.
22
00:02:44,448 --> 00:02:46,120
This might not actually be a bad thing.
23
00:02:47,414 --> 00:02:49,495
She entered the palace only to request a divorce.
24
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:51,622
That proves she doesn't have any real evidence.
25
00:02:51,814 --> 00:02:53,495
She wouldn't dare go against Your Highness.
26
00:02:54,205 --> 00:02:55,807
She knows better than anyone
27
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:59,501
that going head-to-head with the Eastern Palace is suicide.
28
00:03:01,131 --> 00:03:02,532
As long as she's alive,
29
00:03:03,230 --> 00:03:04,672
she's a threat.
30
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:06,819
She divorced Cui Jin Zhi,
31
00:03:06,929 --> 00:03:09,172
so she lost the Cui family's backing.
32
00:03:10,042 --> 00:03:11,581
A princess with no husband or family to lean on
33
00:03:11,662 --> 00:03:13,661
and no longer favored by His Majesty,
34
00:03:13,837 --> 00:03:15,118
is nothing to be afraid of.
35
00:03:19,721 --> 00:03:22,102
Your Highness!
36
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:24,420
Urgent message. There's trouble...
37
00:03:24,563 --> 00:03:25,965
There's trouble at the Yellow River.
38
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:29,020
Got it. You may go.
39
00:03:29,171 --> 00:03:30,392
Yes.
40
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,240
The Yellow River is causing a flood
41
00:03:35,364 --> 00:03:36,800
at the Jingren County section.
42
00:03:38,579 --> 00:03:39,796
The riverbank has collapsed.
43
00:03:39,924 --> 00:03:41,445
Wasn't the levee in Jingren County
44
00:03:41,619 --> 00:03:43,901
funded by the Ministry of Revenue three years ago?
45
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:46,662
Didn't Your Highness personally pick someone to supervise the repairs?
46
00:03:47,257 --> 00:03:50,336
How could the entire county's levee fail so fast?
47
00:03:50,417 --> 00:03:51,638
Useless.
48
00:03:52,462 --> 00:03:53,744
They're all a bunch of useless fools!
49
00:03:57,625 --> 00:03:59,080
Did Your Highness
50
00:03:59,750 --> 00:04:01,793
not release the full amount for the levee repair?
51
00:04:06,203 --> 00:04:07,424
You...
52
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:11,241
Forget it.
53
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:13,581
The most important thing right now is to send someone to keep this quiet
54
00:04:13,698 --> 00:04:15,088
and get the levee fixed fast.
55
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:17,419
As long as Father doesn't find out,
56
00:04:17,570 --> 00:04:19,092
we can still fix everything.
57
00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:21,471
Right.
58
00:04:22,627 --> 00:04:23,828
This is a big deal.
59
00:04:24,015 --> 00:04:26,056
Only someone truly trusted can handle it.
60
00:04:26,175 --> 00:04:29,258
I believe Cui Jin Zhi is the best candidate.
61
00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:33,640
Not only do we need Cui Jin Zhi,
62
00:04:33,914 --> 00:04:35,135
but we also need
63
00:04:35,388 --> 00:04:37,590
to make sure the Cui family stays close to the Eastern Palace.
64
00:04:37,871 --> 00:04:40,560
Zhao Yang's divorce from Cui Jin Zhi has already made them unhappy.
65
00:04:40,743 --> 00:04:42,585
Your Highness, you don't need to worry about that.
66
00:04:43,460 --> 00:04:44,977
The Ye Dynasty
67
00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:47,589
has more than one princess.
68
00:04:50,415 --> 00:04:51,737
You mean...
69
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:02,979
I'm not marrying him!
70
00:05:03,059 --> 00:05:06,619
Crown Prince, he's the one even Zhao Yang rejected.
71
00:05:06,734 --> 00:05:09,159
Why must you force him on me?
72
00:05:09,262 --> 00:05:12,313
Crown Prince, I'm not marrying him! I won't do it!
73
00:05:12,417 --> 00:05:14,600
It's already decided. There's nothing more to discuss.
74
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:16,881
From today onward,
75
00:05:17,059 --> 00:05:18,701
just focus on getting ready for your wedding.
76
00:05:21,059 --> 00:05:23,179
I don't want to, Crown Prince.
77
00:05:23,283 --> 00:05:25,587
I'm begging you!
78
00:05:25,699 --> 00:05:27,539
Aren't I your real sister?
79
00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:29,380
I'm begging you, Crown Prince!
80
00:05:29,491 --> 00:05:31,532
I don't want to, Crown Prince!
81
00:05:32,114 --> 00:05:33,119
An Le.
82
00:05:35,660 --> 00:05:37,799
An Le, you are a princess.
83
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:39,196
Since your prince consort died,
84
00:05:39,277 --> 00:05:41,219
you've been drifting through all sorts of indulgences.
85
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,540
This isn't a real way to live.
86
00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:44,520
Your brother is only thinking of what's best for you.
87
00:05:47,643 --> 00:05:49,166
What's best for me?
88
00:05:50,699 --> 00:05:52,061
What's best for me?
89
00:05:54,115 --> 00:05:55,516
What's best for me?
90
00:05:57,791 --> 00:06:00,025
You all just treat me like a bargaining chip.
91
00:06:00,337 --> 00:06:02,058
What did I ever do to deserve this?
92
00:06:02,139 --> 00:06:03,680
I'm not marrying him!
93
00:06:04,859 --> 00:06:07,362
You people have no shame, but I do!
94
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:08,688
Preposterous!
95
00:06:18,179 --> 00:06:19,461
You hit me.
96
00:06:21,379 --> 00:06:23,901
Without my order, no one is allowed to let her out.
97
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:30,260
Crown Prince!
98
00:06:30,355 --> 00:06:32,476
Let me out!
99
00:06:33,299 --> 00:06:36,020
I'm not marrying him! I won't do it!
100
00:06:36,139 --> 00:06:38,661
Crown Prince!
101
00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:44,710
Welcome! What can I get for you?
102
00:06:44,819 --> 00:06:46,500
We've got all kinds of makeup,
103
00:06:46,604 --> 00:06:48,686
hairpins, crowns, you name it.
104
00:06:49,417 --> 00:06:50,819
This one looks good.
105
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:52,938
- I'll take it. - You have excellent taste, sir.
106
00:06:53,059 --> 00:06:55,176
That's the pride of our shop.
107
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:57,339
It's crafted from a single piece of blood jade.
108
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,603
It's a rare and precious find.
109
00:07:05,499 --> 00:07:07,120
I'd like to combine this wooden hairpin
110
00:07:07,282 --> 00:07:09,344
with this blood jade one and set them together as one.
111
00:07:10,470 --> 00:07:13,298
But the wood is so plain.
112
00:07:13,379 --> 00:07:14,779
How can it possibly go with blood jade?
113
00:07:14,859 --> 00:07:16,820
Why don't you think it over?
114
00:07:16,995 --> 00:07:19,080
No need. Just do as I say.
115
00:07:19,922 --> 00:07:21,503
I only need the handle from the blood jade hairpin.
116
00:07:21,687 --> 00:07:23,356
You can keep any leftover material.
117
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:27,222
Think of it as your payment for teaching me how to craft it.
118
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:28,960
I want to fix it myself.
119
00:07:29,136 --> 00:07:30,703
Sure. Whatever you say.
120
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:36,461
People will really spend money on anything these days.
121
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:46,080
I'm not eating! Get out!
122
00:07:50,699 --> 00:07:52,720
- Your Grace. - Open the door.
123
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,280
You're a daughter of the royal family.
124
00:08:08,542 --> 00:08:10,993
You were born into a life of luxury. The people provide for you.
125
00:08:11,355 --> 00:08:13,779
Your marriage was never meant to be about love,
126
00:08:13,907 --> 00:08:15,708
but an extension of power.
127
00:08:15,979 --> 00:08:17,622
I'd rather starve to death
128
00:08:19,099 --> 00:08:21,062
than marry Cui Jin Zhi!
129
00:08:24,354 --> 00:08:25,575
You don't want to marry?
130
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:27,241
Fine.
131
00:08:31,907 --> 00:08:34,228
If you give up your title as princess,
132
00:08:34,356 --> 00:08:35,718
become a commoner,
133
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:39,301
and leave the palace for good,
134
00:08:39,883 --> 00:08:43,684
your marriage agreement with the Cui family will be void.
135
00:08:47,597 --> 00:08:48,839
What did you say?
136
00:08:51,603 --> 00:08:52,824
What?
137
00:08:53,346 --> 00:08:54,567
Can't let it go?
138
00:08:58,724 --> 00:09:00,965
If you can't give up your royal honor,
139
00:09:01,595 --> 00:09:03,878
you have to shoulder the princess's responsibilities.
140
00:09:04,299 --> 00:09:05,780
Marrying into the Cui family
141
00:09:05,899 --> 00:09:07,340
and strengthening the Eastern Palace.
142
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:09,791
That's your only value right now.
143
00:09:34,579 --> 00:09:36,702
You think I'm here to comfort you?
144
00:09:39,979 --> 00:09:41,480
I'm here to tell you
145
00:09:41,635 --> 00:09:43,957
that the Eastern Palace doesn't protect the useless.
146
00:10:19,915 --> 00:10:23,000
- Come on, let's go watch the fireworks from the city tower. - Sure.
147
00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:27,660
Quick, let's check it out over there.
148
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:28,961
Let's go over there.
149
00:10:47,819 --> 00:10:49,040
Let's go.
150
00:10:50,395 --> 00:10:52,237
I checked it out before you arrived.
151
00:10:52,406 --> 00:10:54,531
The intersection up ahead has the best view for the fireworks.
152
00:10:56,508 --> 00:10:57,928
Look!
153
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:00,983
It's so beautiful!
154
00:11:17,717 --> 00:11:19,240
Look at that one!
155
00:11:42,997 --> 00:11:44,232
(Shen Xiao.)
156
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:48,021
(This is our first time watching fireworks together.)
157
00:11:49,299 --> 00:11:53,062
(It might be our last time, too.)
158
00:12:19,819 --> 00:12:23,062
- Li Shu... - I've found you a great match.
159
00:12:36,219 --> 00:12:37,440
What did you say?
160
00:12:39,299 --> 00:12:41,520
County Princess Jin Cheng, Prince Qi's only daughter.
161
00:12:42,106 --> 00:12:44,148
She's just come of age, beautiful, and proper.
162
00:12:44,459 --> 00:12:45,680
If you marry her,
163
00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:47,301
your future will be limitless.
164
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:52,901
Did His Majesty summon you to the palace yesterday
165
00:12:53,071 --> 00:12:54,594
to discuss this?
166
00:12:56,208 --> 00:12:57,611
Jin Cheng is a wonderful person.
167
00:12:58,593 --> 00:13:00,198
All you need to do is accept this marriage
168
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:01,721
and treat her well.
169
00:13:04,379 --> 00:13:05,861
I'll go see His Majesty right away.
170
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:08,920
Shen Xiao.
171
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:10,822
You're the pride of humble families.
172
00:13:11,375 --> 00:13:13,217
Your marriage is decided by His Majesty.
173
00:13:13,566 --> 00:13:14,780
If you refuse to marry Jin Cheng,
174
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:16,301
the suspicion will never go away.
175
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:19,822
Everything we've worked so hard to achieve.
176
00:13:20,464 --> 00:13:21,826
Are we really going to lose it all
177
00:13:24,836 --> 00:13:27,398
just because of feelings we shouldn't even have?
178
00:13:28,643 --> 00:13:29,864
Shen Xiao,
179
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,462
you must marry her.
180
00:13:40,412 --> 00:13:41,800
If you won't say anything,
181
00:13:42,179 --> 00:13:43,622
I'll take it as your answer.
182
00:13:46,051 --> 00:13:47,272
Li Shu.
183
00:13:47,755 --> 00:13:49,680
What do you think I am?
184
00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:57,301
Didn't you say you'd be my pawn without complaint?
185
00:14:02,380 --> 00:14:03,601
Zhao Yang.
186
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:08,222
Jin Cheng, you're here.
187
00:14:09,236 --> 00:14:10,558
Greetings, Censor Shen.
188
00:14:13,699 --> 00:14:16,580
I just remembered I have something to take care of at home.
189
00:14:16,715 --> 00:14:18,316
I won't disturb you two anymore.
190
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:21,170
Censor Shen, please show Jin Cheng around.
191
00:14:21,483 --> 00:14:24,002
Don't miss out as you pass by!
192
00:14:24,146 --> 00:14:25,548
Come take a look, everyone!
193
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:30,580
Everyone!
194
00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:33,019
This year's Linglong Chess Game has three rounds.
195
00:14:33,134 --> 00:14:34,300
Participants just need to find
196
00:14:34,436 --> 00:14:37,600
the Linglong chess pieces hidden inside and open the final door
197
00:14:37,908 --> 00:14:39,700
to win the prize.
198
00:14:39,780 --> 00:14:42,219
This game is meant to symbolize romance.
199
00:14:42,314 --> 00:14:43,837
You move forward and backward as one.
200
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:46,541
- All couples are welcome to join. - If you walk away now,
201
00:14:46,883 --> 00:14:49,680
I'll tell her that I will never marry her.
202
00:14:49,819 --> 00:14:51,680
I won't marry anyone but Your Highness.
203
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:56,099
Does anyone want to come up and play?
204
00:14:56,234 --> 00:14:57,757
That sounds pretty tough.
205
00:14:58,380 --> 00:15:00,081
Me! I want to play!
206
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:12,899
Look at this gentleman and lady.
207
00:15:12,979 --> 00:15:14,499
They both look like they were born for greatness.
208
00:15:14,579 --> 00:15:16,580
I'm sure they'll win right from the start.
209
00:15:16,731 --> 00:15:19,120
This gentleman is truly impressive.
210
00:15:20,167 --> 00:15:22,979
That lady is as beautiful as a flower. She's graceful and elegant.
211
00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:25,119
She must be from a noble family.
212
00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:27,340
These two are such a perfect match.
213
00:15:27,428 --> 00:15:29,029
They're the definition of beauty and brains.
214
00:15:32,635 --> 00:15:33,917
I'm feeling a bit tired.
215
00:15:34,331 --> 00:15:37,173
Why don't you and Censor Shen go have fun together?
216
00:15:39,667 --> 00:15:40,920
It's more fun with three people.
217
00:15:41,093 --> 00:15:43,480
If Your Highness is tired, I'll take you back.
218
00:15:43,726 --> 00:15:45,643
Zhao Yang, let's all go together.
219
00:15:45,819 --> 00:15:47,920
I'm not very familiar with Censor Shen yet.
220
00:15:48,099 --> 00:15:50,301
I still need you to help us get along.
221
00:15:59,779 --> 00:16:01,000
Sure.
222
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:02,760
Then, let's all go together.
223
00:16:09,986 --> 00:16:13,227
The annual Linglong Chess Game has started again.
224
00:16:13,359 --> 00:16:16,118
Which couple will break through and win?
225
00:16:16,199 --> 00:16:18,001
Let's wait and see.
226
00:16:20,323 --> 00:16:23,685
Why is this room so creepy?
227
00:16:28,042 --> 00:16:30,124
A blade hidden in the heart.
228
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:32,283
Silent, yet speaks volumes.
229
00:16:32,427 --> 00:16:34,475
In countless schemes,
230
00:16:34,612 --> 00:16:36,654
one thought can topple a city.
231
00:16:37,100 --> 00:16:38,622
What does this poem mean?
232
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,820
You need to solve the word puzzle,
233
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,481
find the matching character block,
234
00:16:43,579 --> 00:16:44,739
and put it into the mechanism.
235
00:16:44,843 --> 00:16:46,164
Then, the door will open by itself.
236
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:48,141
A blade hidden in the heart.
237
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:50,160
Is it "endure"?
238
00:16:50,874 --> 00:16:52,715
(Silent, but it can shock like thunder.)
239
00:16:53,019 --> 00:16:56,102
(Countless schemes all start from it.)
240
00:16:56,580 --> 00:16:58,160
(One thought of greed or anger.)
241
00:16:58,316 --> 00:16:59,920
(One thought of love or hate.)
242
00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:01,822
(One thought of choice.)
243
00:17:02,699 --> 00:17:03,899
(The answer is...)
244
00:17:04,057 --> 00:17:05,600
- Heart. - Why?
245
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:10,020
Forget it. Censor Shen and Zhao Yang are both so knowledgeable.
246
00:17:10,115 --> 00:17:12,260
Your answer must be right.
247
00:17:12,347 --> 00:17:14,148
Come on. Let's go look for it together.
248
00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:16,041
Let's go.
249
00:17:55,208 --> 00:17:56,680
What are you doing?
250
00:17:58,417 --> 00:17:59,899
You only played matchmaker
251
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,062
because you had no choice, right?
252
00:18:03,745 --> 00:18:06,007
(No. I can't give in.)
253
00:18:06,218 --> 00:18:08,180
(I have to end his hopes for good.)
254
00:18:17,019 --> 00:18:19,102
What we had was just a passing fling.
255
00:18:19,316 --> 00:18:21,558
Now, I've found you a good match.
256
00:18:21,820 --> 00:18:23,262
It's not a bad deal for you.
257
00:18:23,779 --> 00:18:24,820
Here, take it.
258
00:18:24,931 --> 00:18:26,172
Go find Jin Cheng.
259
00:18:31,179 --> 00:18:32,899
My heart isn't like yours.
260
00:18:33,010 --> 00:18:34,692
I can't just give it away to anyone.
261
00:18:46,706 --> 00:18:49,109
But if you want my help, it's pretty simple.
262
00:18:49,355 --> 00:18:51,640
You have to give me something in return.
263
00:18:55,018 --> 00:18:56,639
Did you guys find it?
264
00:18:57,420 --> 00:18:58,880
What are you doing?
265
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:02,000
You...
266
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:04,120
Zhao Yang.
267
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:06,281
Zhao Yang?
268
00:19:36,979 --> 00:19:38,200
Jin Cheng,
269
00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:39,886
no need to look anymore.
270
00:19:40,131 --> 00:19:41,352
The answer is right here.
271
00:19:42,063 --> 00:19:43,865
You found it so quickly, Zhao Yang.
272
00:19:43,989 --> 00:19:45,210
That's impressive.
273
00:19:58,245 --> 00:19:59,741
These curtains
274
00:20:01,427 --> 00:20:03,030
and the scent
275
00:20:03,325 --> 00:20:05,360
make me feel a little dizzy.
276
00:20:08,012 --> 00:20:09,600
There are many doors here,
277
00:20:10,021 --> 00:20:11,463
but there's only one key.
278
00:20:12,542 --> 00:20:15,880
So, we have to find the real door.
279
00:20:20,339 --> 00:20:21,680
Then, hurry and look.
280
00:20:22,362 --> 00:20:23,583
Zhao Yang.
281
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:25,111
Censor Shen.
282
00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:27,513
Where are they?
283
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:48,020
Why did Your Highness run away?
284
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:50,859
Why don't you ask me if I'm willing to marry her?
285
00:21:50,962 --> 00:21:52,885
- You are. - I'm not.
286
00:21:54,979 --> 00:21:57,220
Shen Xiao, you don't get to choose.
287
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:58,619
You can only say yes.
288
00:21:58,699 --> 00:22:00,179
Why doesn't Your Highness ask me
289
00:22:00,311 --> 00:22:01,820
why I'm not willing to marry her?
290
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:03,342
Because you like me.
291
00:22:04,739 --> 00:22:06,181
You think by saying that,
292
00:22:06,363 --> 00:22:08,803
I won't force you to marry Jin Cheng?
293
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:11,881
Your Highness has feelings for me. Right?
294
00:22:14,596 --> 00:22:17,717
Shen Xiao, don't let your feelings take over.
295
00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:36,221
Your Highness's pulse is racing.
296
00:22:37,219 --> 00:22:38,941
That means you care about me.
297
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:23,521
Censor Shen.
298
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:25,121
Zhao Yang.
299
00:23:25,660 --> 00:23:27,342
Are you two here?
