(Based on Xiao Lou's novel of the same name)
19
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:02,180
=Episode 30=
20
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:06,240
I have arranged a place for you.
21
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:08,190
Just stay here without worry.
22
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:10,380
Miss Jiang,
23
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:12,470
you should thank His Majesty quickly.
24
00:02:12,860 --> 00:02:13,950
Your Majesty, I...
25
00:02:13,950 --> 00:02:15,950
I had a close relationship
with your father,
26
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:18,140
so I will make up all the grievances
27
00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:19,860
you suffered over the years to you.
28
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:23,030
Are you worried that your master
won't be able to let you go?
29
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,320
I will go and talk to her myself.
30
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:28,300
Thank you for your kindness,
Your Majesty.
31
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,470
Master is indeed reluctant
to let me go,
32
00:02:31,070 --> 00:02:32,630
even I feel reluctant myself,
33
00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:34,970
but prolonged pain is worse.
34
00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:36,630
Since I have decided
to join the palace
35
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:38,320
to repay your kindness,
Your Majesty.
36
00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:40,420
I must maintain
a sense of propriety with the past.
37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,420
Your Majesty,
38
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,010
please keep my master outside the palace
39
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,579
so I can avoid meeting her every day
40
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,420
and feel embarrassed.
41
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:51,010
Wei Zhao,
42
00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:55,250
take good care of her master
on my behalf outside the palace.
43
00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:56,510
Do not be negligent.
44
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:57,510
Yes, Your Majesty.
45
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:00,530
You must be tired.
46
00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:03,190
Follow Chief Steward Tao and go rest.
47
00:03:05,610 --> 00:03:06,870
Thank you, Your Majesty.
48
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,450
Miss Jiang, this way please.
49
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:35,270
Do you have something on your mind?
50
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:39,700
I did not catch Lu Yu.
51
00:03:40,079 --> 00:03:41,820
I have let you down, Your Majesty.
52
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200
You rescued Prince Qi's daughter.
53
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:48,950
This in itself is a great achievement.
54
00:03:49,540 --> 00:03:50,480
My duty as a minister
55
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,150
is to share your concerns, Your Majesty.
56
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:55,079
You and Prince Qi
have a strong brotherhood,
57
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,570
but I thought
58
00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:58,730
this matter was too suspicious.
59
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:00,480
Prince Qi passed away
many years ago,
60
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:02,670
so why has a daughter
suddenly appeared now?
61
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:04,670
I think
62
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:06,060
regarding this matter,
63
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:07,710
a thorough investigation is required.
64
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:10,670
I understand what you mean.
65
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:14,710
Your Majesty,
66
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:15,940
Lord Pei seeks to meet.
67
00:04:17,019 --> 00:04:18,529
I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty.
68
00:04:19,529 --> 00:04:20,860
What brings you here?
69
00:04:21,940 --> 00:04:23,790
I heard that Jiang Ci
had entered the palace.
70
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,790
Your Majesty, please allow me
to see her.
71
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:32,670
There's no need to be so anxious.
72
00:04:33,790 --> 00:04:34,800
Your Majesty, you are kind.
73
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,980
Although you recognized
the handwriting of Prince Qi
74
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:40,240
and determined that the letter
is not forged,
75
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:41,730
human minds are unpredictable.
76
00:04:42,030 --> 00:04:42,940
Lu Yu is cunning.
77
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,360
Perhaps for rebellion,
78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,360
he chose a random girl
just to fool you.
79
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:48,440
I still think
80
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,530
this matter should be
thoroughly investigated.
81
00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:52,340
Do you mean
82
00:04:52,340 --> 00:04:54,620
we should take him to Guangming Bureau
for investigation?
83
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,440
I am willing to share your burden,
Your Majesty.
84
00:04:58,490 --> 00:04:59,050
Your Majesty,
85
00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:00,990
Prince Qi passed away young,
86
00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:02,610
and you lost your best friend.
87
00:05:02,630 --> 00:05:04,600
Now that you have found
the bloodline of Prince Qi,
88
00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:06,490
there are even handwritten letters
as evidence,
89
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:07,930
I recommend
90
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,750
Prince Qi's daughter be kept
in the palace and treated favorably.
91
00:05:10,820 --> 00:05:11,820
This will demonstrate your
92
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:13,180
benevolence in promoting family harmony
93
00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:14,340
and fostering goodwill within the clan.
94
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:16,960
Shaojun only thinks of the best
in everything.
95
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,550
But we are not on the same page.
96
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,550
Your Majesty,
97
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:23,080
if we keep people involved
98
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:24,140
with Lu Yu in the palace,
99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,510
we will certainly face criticism.
100
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:28,310
Prince Qi passed away early,
101
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:31,550
how could I just
102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,380
leave his orphan alone without a care?
103
00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:36,190
I saw her face,
104
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,230
there is resemblance to Prince Qi.
105
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,080
She seemed sincere
when she read the letter.
106
00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:45,640
She doesn't seem like an actress.
107
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:47,320
I believe
108
00:05:47,870 --> 00:05:49,670
she is the daughter of Prince Qi.
109
00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:52,690
I will choose an auspicious day
110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,050
to make her a princess.
111
00:05:59,140 --> 00:06:00,110
Your Majesty is wise.
112
00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:03,550
(Yuchun Pavilion, Palace, Qingkang)
113
00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:04,650
(Minxiu Hall)
Miss Jiang.
114
00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:09,160
(Yuchun Pavilion, Palace, Qingkang)
115
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:10,690
Miss Jiang,
116
00:06:10,730 --> 00:06:13,380
His Majesty, understanding that you are
newly entered into the palace,
117
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:15,230
has specially allowed me to select
118
00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:16,710
some clever and obedient ones for you.
119
00:06:16,930 --> 00:06:18,500
If you have any instructions,
120
00:06:18,610 --> 00:06:19,960
you may just call them.
121
00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:23,500
(Minxiu Hall)
122
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:24,870
Greetings, Miss Jiang.
123
00:06:25,580 --> 00:06:27,370
Greetings, Miss Jiang.
124
00:06:27,550 --> 00:06:28,690
No need to be courteous.
125
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:30,080
Miss Jiang,
126
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:33,140
the etiquette between master and servant
in this palace must not be broken.
127
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,490
All of you will be serving
128
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,460
as servants in Yuchun Pavilion
from now on.
129
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:41,200
Serve Miss Jiang well,
130
00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:42,380
do you understand?
131
00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:43,610
Yes.
132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,050
You may rise.
133
00:06:50,050 --> 00:06:50,960
Miss Jiang,
134
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,190
(Liu Cui, Maid, Qingkang)
I'm Liu Cui.
135
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:54,260
(Liu Cui, Maid, Qingkang)
I will serve you from now on.
136
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:11,980
Sir, I placed the money here.
137
00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:12,960
Sure.
138
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:14,140
Take care.
139
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:19,700
Your Lordship!
140
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Have a seat.
141
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,990
I'll have a bowl of noodles.
142
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:22,690
No problem.
143
00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:23,340
You may sit.
144
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:24,190
Wait a moment.
145
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:24,930
Sure.
146
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:39,990
Your noodles, Your Lordship.
147
00:07:41,270 --> 00:07:42,040
Sir,
148
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:45,050
next time I bring someone
to have noodles.
149
00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:47,050
I kindly ask you to cook
with special care
150
00:07:47,140 --> 00:07:49,320
so she can truly enjoy
your culinary skills.
151
00:07:49,340 --> 00:07:50,630
No problem, Your Lordship.
152
00:07:51,730 --> 00:07:52,380
Please enjoy.
153
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:53,250
Thank you.
154
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,080
No problem.
155
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:11,640
Your Majesty,
156
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:15,200
reliable servants have been assigned
to Yuchun Pavilion.
157
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,750
Instructed them
to serve Miss Jiang well
158
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:19,700
and not be negligent.
159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,570
Yes, Your Majesty.
160
00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:35,690
Don't worry.
161
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:37,380
According to the current situation,
162
00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:39,299
His Majesty is not treating
Miss Jiang foully,
163
00:08:39,690 --> 00:08:41,309
and he even wants
to make her a princess.
164
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:44,840
His Majesty keeps Jiang Ci in the palace
165
00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:46,340
to show his care,
166
00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:47,860
but he's actually monitoring her.
167
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:51,690
Rearrange the patrol route
168
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,240
and discreetly set up
169
00:08:53,270 --> 00:08:55,020
several patrol points
around Yuchun Pavilion.
170
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:58,320
His Majesty often mentions Prince Qi,
171
00:08:58,570 --> 00:08:59,980
they seem to share a deep connection.
172
00:09:00,510 --> 00:09:02,200
Would he put Prince Qi under
house arrest
173
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:03,390
as what the Yans said?
174
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:06,070
If what the Yans said is true,
175
00:09:06,340 --> 00:09:08,340
the reason His Majesty
interrupted Prince Qi's case
176
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:11,150
must have some unspoken truth behind it.
177
00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:14,810
We need to be more cautious
in our investigation.
178
00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:18,600
Send a message to Mr. Ping
179
00:09:18,930 --> 00:09:21,220
to get Shadow Sect to put in
even more attention
180
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:22,260
and to always be prepared.
181
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:23,560
Yes.
182
00:09:23,770 --> 00:09:27,070
(Lord of Jianding's Residence)
183
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,010
Lord of Jianding
184
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:29,110
has stabilized internal chaos
185
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:30,220
and promoted military reforms.
186
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:32,860
Madam Rongguo must have
taught him very well.
187
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,930
I am just a mere woman.
188
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,620
What I care most about is
the blessings of my family.
189
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:42,440
Lord Hou is in his prime
190
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,380
and he made another
great achievement this time.
191
00:09:44,580 --> 00:09:46,960
Why worry about
a good match for him?
192
00:09:47,570 --> 00:09:48,720
A beautiful marriage
193
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:50,650
emphasizes the importance of
matching social status.
194
00:09:56,810 --> 00:09:59,690
These are his birth date
and ancestral place of origin.
195
00:10:00,430 --> 00:10:03,220
Chancellor Dong, please discuss this
with Second Young Lady.
196
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:10,030
I have troubled you for quite a while
at your residence today.
197
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,270
I should make my move.
198
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,340
Thank you for taking the time for this.
199
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:15,860
-Goodbye.
-This way, please.
200
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:16,890
Here.
201
00:10:19,050 --> 00:10:19,720
Chancellor Dong.
202
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:33,510
A distinguished guest came to our house,
203
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,150
why didn't you say a word?
204
00:10:37,810 --> 00:10:39,100
You are occupied with work,
205
00:10:39,460 --> 00:10:42,080
how can I tell you everything in detail?
206
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,120
Including marriage?
207
00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:51,290
Second Young Lady Dong is chaste,
virtuous, and gentle.
208
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,440
She will be a good match.
209
00:10:53,580 --> 00:10:55,960
If one day in the future,
you truly become a virtuous ruler
210
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,340
you can win back the hearts
of the top clans.
211
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,840
This is never what I want.
212
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:14,700
This marriage
213
00:11:15,270 --> 00:11:16,810
will only benefit you.
214
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:18,460
Can't you understand?
215
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,320
If I can give you what you want
216
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:24,390
in another way?
217
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:26,360
Jiang Ci
218
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:28,860
is the daughter of Prince Qi.
219
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:33,270
Daughter of Prince Qi?
220
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,220
His Majesty attaches great importance
to the bloodline of Prince Qi.
221
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:37,940
Jiang Ci has not returned
to the capital yet,
222
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:39,690
but she is given
a residence in the palace.
223
00:11:39,930 --> 00:11:40,700
She will soon
224
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:42,930
become a princess.
225
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,050
Since you have the request,
226
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:52,510
you will naturally understand
which of Dong family or the royal family
227
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:55,240
would be more helpful.
228
00:11:57,340 --> 00:11:58,810
Jiang Ci
229
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,320
is what I want in my life.
230
00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:20,530
Lord Pei seems determined
to marry Jiang Ci.
231
00:12:22,010 --> 00:12:22,810
Madam,
232
00:12:23,050 --> 00:12:24,570
are you going to let him?
233
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Yan still doesn't quite understand
His Majesty.
234
00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:31,100
I didn't expect
235
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:33,670
that Jiang Ci is
the daughter of Prince Qi.
236
00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:42,890
Mr. Cui, it is difficult
to get you to paint.
237
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,740
I am really blessed to have this.
238
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,030
I will certainly help to find
a good buyer for this painting.
239
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,320
I paint as I please.
240
00:12:49,510 --> 00:12:50,650
You can
241
00:12:50,820 --> 00:12:52,220
sell paintings as you please, too.
242
00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:05,270
Sir, please wait.
243
00:13:06,690 --> 00:13:08,170
Can you show me the painting?
244
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:10,510
Thank you.
245
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:16,740
Jin Xin.
246
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:22,290
Here.
247
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,930
Miss, are you buying it just like that?
248
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:26,570
I buy paintings as I please.
249
00:13:26,650 --> 00:13:27,740
Please do not judge me.
250
00:13:28,410 --> 00:13:29,030
Thank you.
251
00:13:35,650 --> 00:13:37,080
Come and take a look.

(Jixian Study)
255
00:14:24,030 --> 00:14:25,080
Excuse me,
256
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,890
I have embarrassed myself.
257
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,410
Mr. Cui?
258
00:14:32,170 --> 00:14:32,860
Mr. Cui,
259
00:14:32,890 --> 00:14:34,150
it's good that you are still here.
260
00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:34,740
Your painting
261
00:14:34,930 --> 00:14:37,170
has been purchased by a lady
for a good price.
262
00:14:38,930 --> 00:14:40,220
The lady is here.
263
00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:44,190
All these are yours.
264
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,430
I shall take my leave.
265
00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:56,030
It turns out that the paintings
were all yours.
266
00:14:56,690 --> 00:14:59,120
Have you bought my paintings before?
267
00:15:00,070 --> 00:15:01,080
Yes.
268
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:03,700
I am ashamed.
269
00:15:04,410 --> 00:15:05,960
It is an honor for me
270
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,720
to receive your favor.
271
00:15:08,430 --> 00:15:09,220
You may take
272
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,120
this painting as a gift from me.
273
00:15:14,570 --> 00:15:16,190
Gold cannot buy
what one truly cherishes.
274
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:18,940
Your painting is worth the price.
275
00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:22,030
Since you like it,
276
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:24,190
I will not refuse.
277
00:15:25,570 --> 00:15:27,570
If you intend to buy paintings
in the future,
278
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:30,510
I am willing to paint and give it
to someone who appreciates the painting.
279
00:15:32,270 --> 00:15:34,320
I will not decline any longer.
280
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,270
You are truly graceful and perceptive.
281
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,360
May I ask for your name?
282
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,930
My surname is Dong.
283
00:15:45,670 --> 00:15:47,790
Greetings, Miss Dong.

(Yizhou Guide)
Do you also like to read guides?
285
00:15:57,220 --> 00:15:59,270
I have long heard that Yizhou
has beautiful scenery.
286
00:15:59,270 --> 00:16:00,220
Every single step there
287
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:01,430
is legendary.
288
00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:02,430
You are right.
289
00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:05,700
Although it is just
a few fleeting glimpses,
290
00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:08,740
it is incredibly beautiful.
291
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Have you been to Yizhou before?
292
00:16:16,270 --> 00:16:17,880
I would love to see it with my own eyes.
293
00:16:18,630 --> 00:16:19,790
How difficult would that be?
294
00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:21,320
Please come with me.
295
00:16:46,770 --> 00:16:54,610
(Jixian Study)
296
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:08,819
This is for someone
who appreciates paintings.
297
00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:20,859
This is gorgeous.
298
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:25,599
Xie Che wants to make Ci a princess?
299
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,119
If His Majesty intends to do that,
300
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:30,520
I don't think Jiang Ci would be
in danger for the time being.
301
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,840
I have ordered men
to guard her discreetly.
302
00:17:35,470 --> 00:17:37,030
By making Ci a princess,
303
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,570
he gets to keep her in the palace.
304
00:17:40,030 --> 00:17:41,470
What is going to happen to her?
305
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,470
I will protect her with all my ability.
306
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,710
Don't try to get too involved with her.
307
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,820
You two have a complicated relationship,
308
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:53,050
sticking together
309
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:54,710
will only hurt both of you.
310
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,400
My father did not kill Prince Qi,
311
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,640
he died fighting for Yueluo.
312
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:03,180
My mother died at the hands
of Zhenyuan Army.
313
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:06,010
My sister and I were expelled
by our tribe
314
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,310
and we have remained our identities
anonymous so far.
315
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,320
Tell me,
316
00:18:09,570 --> 00:18:11,160
what glory did my father get
in exchange?
317
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,160
His Majesty wants
to make Jiang Ci a princess now.
318
00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:18,230
He seems calm on the surface,
319
00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:21,230
but what is his actual intention
behind this?
320
00:18:21,230 --> 00:18:22,420
We have no idea at all.
321
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:25,260
Only by understanding
the whole incident,
322
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:28,380
only then can we give Jiang Ci
her freedom back as soon as possible.
323
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:30,750
If you keep your bias,
324
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,580
how can we continue with
the investigation?
325
00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:43,990
What else do you want to know?
326
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,770
Tell me,
327
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,270
His Majesty is related to
the previous Prince Qi case.
328
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,470
Tell me everything
329
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,600
about the day you met your sister.
330
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,920
Xiao Yujia.
331
00:19:11,530 --> 00:19:12,450
Who are you?
332
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:14,750
Don't you remember me?
333
00:19:16,570 --> 00:19:19,080
When Prince Qi was invited to Yueluo
for peace talk years ago,
334
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,360
Xiao Haitian waited
under the city gate with you.
335
00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:26,120
Are you Prince Qi's servant?
336
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:27,620
What are you doing here?
337
00:19:27,710 --> 00:19:29,230
I should be asking that.
338
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:32,880
How did you become
an Imperial Consort of Liang State?
339
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,950
Or are you saying
that the death of Prince Qi
340
00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:40,570
was a bargaining chip for your father
to betray his friends for personal gain?
341
00:19:42,470 --> 00:19:43,510
What are you talking about?
342
00:19:43,530 --> 00:19:44,660
Stop pretending to be innocent.
343
00:19:44,870 --> 00:19:46,510
When Prince Qi was under house arrest,
344
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,970
he was worried about not being able to
facilitate the peace talk.
345
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,270
But your father just
346
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:52,640
turned around
and found a new supporter.
347
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,120
He even found wealth and status
348
00:19:58,790 --> 00:20:01,120
for his daughter.
349
00:20:04,010 --> 00:20:06,750
No wonder Xie Che asked you
to worship Prince Qi on his behalf.
350
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:09,600
It was he who instructed your father
to kill Prince Qi.
351
00:20:09,780 --> 00:20:11,420
Are you not afraid
that your unborn child
352
00:20:11,420 --> 00:20:12,400
will get punished?
353
00:20:12,420 --> 00:20:13,230
Shut your mouth!
354
00:20:14,340 --> 00:20:15,160
There is an assassin!
355
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,400
Let Consort Wei go.
356
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,400
Xie Che,
357
00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:25,570
do you not care about your child?
358
00:20:26,750 --> 00:20:27,710
Stop right there.
359
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,230
If anyone takes a step forward,
360
00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:31,290
I will kill her.
361
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,510
It was exactly what you did
362
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,600
that caused my sister
to die in childbirth.
363
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,680
You keep saying
that my father is a murderer,
364
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:54,920
how about my sister's death?
365
00:20:54,970 --> 00:20:55,770
No way.
366
00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:57,750
I just held her hostage that day,
367
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,290
I did not cause any harm to her.
368
00:20:59,790 --> 00:21:00,710
She was perfectly fine
369
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,510
in Xie Che's arms when I left.
370
00:21:08,990 --> 00:21:10,600
Xie Che is cruel and ruthless.
371
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:14,090
He sent Internal Affairs Bureau to
discreetly hunt me down for 20 years.
372
00:21:14,380 --> 00:21:15,550
He cannot escape responsibility
373
00:21:15,550 --> 00:21:16,600
for Prince Qi's death,
374
00:21:17,660 --> 00:21:19,320
so why would he be kind to Ci?
375
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,530
That is why
376
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:22,400
Ci must not stay in the palace.
377
00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:25,050
This is what you should be
thinking about right now.
378
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:29,160
If you are actually concerned for her,
379
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:30,750
you better stay.
380
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,160
This way, I can still protect you.
381
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:35,820
About what you said,
382
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,680
I will investigate it myself.
383
00:21:56,810 --> 00:21:57,610
My Lord,
384
00:21:58,420 --> 00:21:59,510
how are you?
385
00:22:00,010 --> 00:22:01,990
Order our men to take
good care of Yan Shuang Qiao.
386
00:22:02,050 --> 00:22:02,620
Yes, My Lord.
387
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,620
Go check out
388
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,510
all records of my sister's death,
389
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,640
do not miss any aspect.
390
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,680
Is there something fishy
about her death?
391
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:14,840
It is probably not an accident.
392
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:16,990
It could also be related
to Prince Qi's case.
393
00:22:18,980 --> 00:22:21,160
What she said needs to be
verified by multiple parties.
394
00:22:22,030 --> 00:22:23,550
Go check with Internal Affairs Bureau
395
00:22:23,580 --> 00:22:26,160
if they have been hunting her discreetly
in the past few years.
396
00:22:27,070 --> 00:22:28,730
She is the assassin
who kidnapped Prince Qi,
397
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:31,230
so it makes sense for her
to be wanted for murder.
398
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,530
However, if there are no intentions,
399
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,080
why would they operate discreetly
for many years?
400
00:22:37,340 --> 00:22:39,420
Could it be
to kill and silence witnesses?
401
00:22:40,790 --> 00:22:42,180
The award ceremony is tomorrow,
402
00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:44,920
we can probably test
His Majesty's attitude
403
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:45,990
towards Yueluo.
404
00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:47,580
Yes, My Lord.
405
00:22:57,270 --> 00:22:59,320
We are quelling
the rebellion of Lu's traitors.
406
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:01,430
All ministers who have rendered
meritorious service
407
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:02,950
shall each be rewarded accordingly.
408
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,640
Pei Yan, please step forward
to receive conferment.
409
00:23:12,030 --> 00:23:13,880
Pei Yan, Lord of Jianding,
410
00:23:13,930 --> 00:23:15,290
protected the nation with merit and
411
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,180
conducted military maneuvers
with divine skill.
412
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:20,360
Now, he is conferred the title of
Lord of Loyalty and Bravery.
413
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,310
The fiefdom shall be extended westward
by two townships,
414
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,620
Changfeng Guards will
be expanded by 100 men
415
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,650
to safeguard the imperial city,
ensuring the stability
416
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:30,420
of the great Liang State.
417
00:23:31,030 --> 00:23:32,180
I, Pei Yan,
418
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:33,880
receive the decree with gratitude.
419
00:23:37,530 --> 00:23:39,710
Wei Zhao, please step forward
to receive conferment.
420
00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:48,180
Wei Zhao, the Commander of
Guangming Bureau
421
00:23:48,420 --> 00:23:50,380
saw through Lu's treasonous plot.
422
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:51,710
Due to his long-standing loyalty
and integrity,
423
00:23:51,790 --> 00:23:53,230
with a demeanor like that of
a dragon and a phoenix,
424
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,510
he is now granted
425
00:23:54,730 --> 00:23:55,990
an elevation of one rank
426
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:57,320
in salary and status,
427
00:23:57,330 --> 00:23:58,920
along with ten thousand taels
of gold and silver,
428
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,550
a thousand acres of fertile land,
429
00:24:00,580 --> 00:24:02,360
and 100 servants.
430
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:03,990
I, Wei Zhao,
431
00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:05,500
receive the decree with gratitude.
432
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:08,730
Chun Yuli,
433
00:24:08,730 --> 00:24:10,570
please step forward
to receive conferment.
434
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,860
Chun Yuli, military strategist
and sacrificial wine master,
435
00:24:14,860 --> 00:24:16,470
with sufficient strategy,
courage, and wisdom,
436
00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:19,290
bravely presented Tiger Talisman
437
00:24:19,770 --> 00:24:21,810
to recover an army of 50,000.
438
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,470
He is now conferred the title of
Military Strategist and Middle General,
439
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,990
the 50,000 Zhenyuan Army
440
00:24:27,990 --> 00:24:31,450
will be placed under his command
441
00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:32,860
to garrison Liang State.
442
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:35,450
I, Chun Yuli,
443
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,230
receive the decree with gratitude.
444
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:39,840
By employing both civil
and military means
445
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,270
to inspire the ministers,
446
00:24:41,490 --> 00:24:43,570
the foundation will be solidified,
sources purified,
447
00:24:43,660 --> 00:24:45,770
and the nation's prosperity
will endure for a long time.
448
00:24:45,770 --> 00:24:48,270
How commendable.
449
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,510
Your Majesty is wise,
450
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,030
may the great Liang State
flourish forever.
451
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:03,620
Congratulations, Lord Wei.
452
00:25:04,820 --> 00:25:05,950
Congratulations, Lord Wei.
453
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:07,510
Congratulations, Lord Wei.
454
00:25:08,290 --> 00:25:08,900
My Lord.
455
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,160
There is no reward from Yueluo at all.
456
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:15,680
Not even a word is mentioned.
457
00:25:16,710 --> 00:25:17,570
How could this be?
458
00:25:18,970 --> 00:25:20,070
That's because Yueluo
459
00:25:20,340 --> 00:25:22,470
is also charged with
the murder of Prince Qi.
460
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,580
What's the issue?
461
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,640
Are you not satisfied with the reward?
462
00:25:34,180 --> 00:25:35,510
Your Majesty trusts me enough
463
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:37,000
to entrust me with big responsibilities,
464
00:25:37,030 --> 00:25:38,400
that is already the greatest reward.
465
00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:39,920
However,
466
00:25:40,180 --> 00:25:41,340
Yueluo's credit
467
00:25:41,530 --> 00:25:43,640
in the rebellion this time
can't be ignored.
468
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:47,880
I know what you're thinking,
469
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:50,510
I have already rewarded 1,000
cattle and sheep
470
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:52,350
and a thousand taels of
gold and silver to Yueluo.
471
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,120
I already got Liangzhou to send it over.
472
00:25:54,750 --> 00:25:55,920
Your Majesty is wise.
473
00:25:56,750 --> 00:25:57,420
Your Majesty,
474
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,950
I have something else to ask of you.
475
00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:01,010
Tell me.
476
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,030
I boldly request
477
00:26:03,750 --> 00:26:05,120
you to grant a marriage.
478
00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:09,640
You just established a career, and
you're thinking of starting a family?
479
00:26:09,790 --> 00:26:11,080
I am fond of Jiang Ci,
480
00:26:11,180 --> 00:26:14,230
I am willing to use all my rewards
in exchange for the marriage.
481
00:26:15,230 --> 00:26:16,640
Good match is destined.
482
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,400
Rewards are only based on merit.
483
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,840
I understand your thoughts,
484
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,640
however,
485
00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:25,790
Jiang Ci has been living outside
for many years
486
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:27,570
and she has suffered a lot.
487
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:30,860
After many twists and turns,
she came back to me.
488
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,600
I must
489
00:26:32,990 --> 00:26:33,880
choose
490
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,400
a good son-in-law who is willing to
devote everything to her.
491
00:26:37,490 --> 00:26:39,210
What can you sacrifice for her?
492
00:26:45,620 --> 00:26:47,640
Relying on your heavenly virtue,
493
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:49,080
I will be very devoted
494
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,920
to making sure Jiang Ci lives
without any worries
495
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:53,820
while I protect the great Liang State
so it endures for hundreds of years.
496
00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:58,680
I understand.
497
00:26:59,710 --> 00:27:01,680
Let's discuss it
after the grant ceremony.
498
00:27:03,260 --> 00:27:04,710
Thank you, Your Majesty.
499
00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:12,490
Youth
500
00:27:12,490 --> 00:27:13,990
causes people to lose composure.
501
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:19,840
Lord of Jianding has always been
deeply devoted
502
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,400
to Miss Jiang.
503
00:27:21,790 --> 00:27:23,320
In my opinion,
504
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,470
Wei Zhao also favors Jiang Ci.
505
00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:34,510
Let Wei Zhao handle the grant ceremony.
506
00:27:34,510 --> 00:27:35,260
Yes, Your Majesty.
507
00:27:35,790 --> 00:27:37,680
By the way, send someone
to teach Jiang Ci
508
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:38,680
etiquette in the palace
509
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,840
so she won't be a laughingstock.
510
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,270
Yes, Your Majesty.
511
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:43,970
Your Majesty,
512
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,320
I remember
513
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,210
Commander Wei
514
00:27:47,210 --> 00:27:49,880
once questioned Miss Jiang's identity.
515
00:27:51,490 --> 00:27:53,010
His words
516
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,530
can't compare to the look in his eyes.
517
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:00,880
Even heroes struggle when
confronted by beauty.
518
00:28:02,230 --> 00:28:06,380
Let the young people act freely.
519
00:28:12,810 --> 00:28:14,710
Is there any joyful news today,
Your Lordship?
520
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:16,250
Ci is coming back soon.
521
00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:18,150
Is His Majesty going to grant
a marriage to you?
522
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,460
It'll be just around the corner.
523
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,490
Ziming,
524
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,150
are you not going to congratulate me?
525
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:27,670
Your Lordship, if you establish a family
526
00:28:27,790 --> 00:28:29,570
I will naturally be happy for you.
527
00:28:30,140 --> 00:28:32,120
However, have you ever asked
Ci's opinion?
528
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,920
Her temperament makes her unfit
to stay in the palace.
529
00:28:35,270 --> 00:28:36,400
I can only protect her well
530
00:28:36,730 --> 00:28:38,030
with her by my side.
531
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:39,770
I'm just worried that both the palace
532
00:28:39,950 --> 00:28:41,920
and your residence
are the same in her eyes.
533
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:43,010
By the way, Ziming,
534
00:28:43,270 --> 00:28:44,160
(Good Inspires Improvement)
535
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,310
Help me prepare a nice gift.
536
00:28:45,530 --> 00:28:46,710
I have been quite rude this time.
537
00:28:46,990 --> 00:28:48,210
I have to comfort Chancellor Dong.
538
00:28:48,290 --> 00:28:49,030
Your Lordship...
539
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,380
Prepare two calligraphy paintings.
540
00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:51,470
I shouldn't forget
541
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,770
Second Young Lady Dong.
542
00:29:08,420 --> 00:29:09,710
I'm late.
543
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,790
Chancellor Dong is busy
with official duties,
544
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,180
I should be waiting for you here.
545
00:29:15,270 --> 00:29:15,840
Please.
546
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:16,570
Sure.
547
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,780
I have already received your intentions,
548
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,640
Lord Pei.
549
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:26,570
If you have something to say, you may.
550
00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:29,070
I will be direct, then.
551
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,710
I would like to
552
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,900
discuss the marriage contract
553
00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:36,570
between my family and yours again.
554
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:39,790
Lord Pei,
555
00:29:40,750 --> 00:29:42,180
is Madam Rongguo aware
556
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,180
of your visit today?
557
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:46,380
I will explain everything to her soon.
558
00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:48,290
The reason I invited you here today
559
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:49,970
is to
560
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,180
ask for forgiveness.
561
00:29:55,530 --> 00:29:56,310
Pei Yan,
562
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:58,140
my family
563
00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:01,640
will not necessarily force you
to marry my daughter,
564
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,270
it was your esteemed family
who has urged it,
565
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,840
and that is why I considered it.
566
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,270
What do you intend to do with
my family's reputation
567
00:30:09,490 --> 00:30:12,450
with your action today?
568
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,660
Second Young Lady Dong
has a good heart and character.
569
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:17,350
I'm just not blessed enough
to marry her.
570
00:30:17,570 --> 00:30:18,340
I will never
571
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,380
reveal even a fraction of this outside.
572
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:23,120
No matter what you tell others
in the future,
573
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:25,570
I will never say a word about it.
574
00:30:28,820 --> 00:30:29,900
To tell you the truth,
575
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,160
I've already requested
a marriage from His Majesty.
576
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:33,960
I am going to marry
the daughter of Prince Qi
577
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,860
soon.
578
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:43,750
No wonder you want to cancel
the engagement.
579
00:30:44,050 --> 00:30:45,970
It turns out you've sought
a higher branch
580
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,310
and you want to be
a part of the royal relatives.
581
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:51,070
Me and the princess have had
a relationship for a long time.
582
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,570
If I marry Second Young Lady Dong,
583
00:30:52,790 --> 00:30:54,470
that would be an insult to her.
584
00:30:55,030 --> 00:30:56,490
Regardless of who she marries,
585
00:30:56,730 --> 00:30:58,380
you will always be the minister.
586
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,340
Wearing purple and embracing yellow,
587
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,710
you hold great power.
588
00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:03,470
From today onward,
589
00:31:03,470 --> 00:31:05,380
if there is any way that I can help you,
590
00:31:05,380 --> 00:31:07,530
I will definitely give my all.
591
00:31:14,970 --> 00:31:16,140
Besides, if I
592
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,580
really get married to your daughter,
593
00:31:18,970 --> 00:31:20,160
between the noble families,
594
00:31:20,390 --> 00:31:21,950
the unity of civil and military affairs
595
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:25,110
makes the Emperor's heart
difficult to gauge,
596
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,360
you definitely understand
His Majesty's temper
597
00:31:27,570 --> 00:31:28,680
better than I do.
598
00:31:31,290 --> 00:31:33,120
You are the father-in-law
of the Crown Prince,
599
00:31:34,050 --> 00:31:35,100
His Highness
600
00:31:35,310 --> 00:31:36,970
is also the princess's cousin.
601
00:31:37,490 --> 00:31:38,380
If we talk about it
602
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:39,640
how are we
603
00:31:39,770 --> 00:31:41,310
not soon-to-be relatives?
604
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:44,450
Now that the princess
is deeply favored by His Majesty
605
00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:46,990
and we are both officials in the court,
606
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:47,860
there are still
607
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,550
many areas where we can
support each other in the future.
608
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:57,340
Forget it.
609
00:31:58,050 --> 00:32:00,230
Fate is destined.
610
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,820
Since you and Juan
are not destined to be together,
611
00:32:03,530 --> 00:32:05,210
there's no point
in forcing the marriage.
612
00:32:06,270 --> 00:32:08,210
As a father,
613
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:11,340
I should also think for
my daughter's happiness.
614
00:32:12,180 --> 00:32:13,600
I deeply respect
615
00:32:13,670 --> 00:32:15,500
your loving heart as a father,
Chancellor Dong.
616
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,580
Lord Pei, you are young and promising,
617
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:20,620
while His Majesty treats
the princess well,
618
00:32:20,990 --> 00:32:21,840
I also need to
619
00:32:22,730 --> 00:32:25,530
rely on Lord Pei to some extent someday.
620
00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:28,730
Chancellor Dong, you are joking.
621
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:30,180
Chancellor Dong, please.
622
00:32:42,970 --> 00:32:44,080
The weather is nice today.
623
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:45,180
Mr. Zhang.
624
00:32:50,290 --> 00:32:50,900
Lord Pei.
625
00:32:51,420 --> 00:32:52,210
Second Young Lady.
626
00:33:04,270 --> 00:33:06,710
It seems that you and my father
have reached an agreement.
627
00:33:08,220 --> 00:33:09,990
I was about to pay a visit
to your place
628
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,450
to apologize to you.
629
00:33:12,450 --> 00:33:14,680
You have ended something
that I didn't want for me.
630
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:16,760
It is me who should
thank you, Your Lordship.
631
00:33:16,820 --> 00:33:18,730
Second Young Lady Dong,
you are gentle and virtuous.
632
00:33:18,750 --> 00:33:20,120
You will surely find a good man.
633
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,570
I wish you well, too.
634
00:33:50,710 --> 00:33:51,450
Miss Jiang.
635
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,490
Thank you.
636
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,870
His Majesty is about to
make you a princess.
637
00:33:58,490 --> 00:33:59,760
You should take care of your health
638
00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:00,910
to receive his grace.
639
00:34:01,410 --> 00:34:02,830
Where did you hear that?
640
00:34:03,910 --> 00:34:04,910
His Majesty is virtuous,
641
00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:06,970
the ceremony will be held soon.
642
00:34:07,410 --> 00:34:08,679
You should rest early.
643
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,449
(He wants to trap me in the palace.)
644
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:19,580
(I can't just sit and wait.)
645
00:34:19,610 --> 00:34:21,010
(I'll get familiar with the terrain)
646
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:22,469
(and environment
of the palace first)
647
00:34:22,469 --> 00:34:23,610
(so I can escape easily.)
648
00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:15,160
Your Lordship.
649
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:16,450
Ci.
650
00:35:16,620 --> 00:35:17,850
Where have you been?
651
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,080
I went for a walk.
652
00:35:20,530 --> 00:35:21,700
What brings you here?
653
00:35:22,780 --> 00:35:23,680
I'm here to see you.
654
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,020
Have you adapted to
life in the palace?
655
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,160
Your Lordship, you may come inside.
656
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:44,870
Ci,
657
00:35:45,780 --> 00:35:47,180
I will definitely not
658
00:35:47,910 --> 00:35:49,050
allow you to suffer anymore.
659
00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:54,050
I just went out for a walk.
660
00:35:54,450 --> 00:35:55,640
You're being too serious.
661
00:35:56,150 --> 00:35:57,860
I have proposed marriage
from His Majesty.
662
00:35:58,780 --> 00:36:00,490
I never wanted
to get married to you.
663
00:36:00,870 --> 00:36:01,780
I will protect you.
664
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:04,310
You no longer need to be bothered
with trivial matters anymore.
665
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:06,200
I will provide you
666
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,830
with the life you desire.
667
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,570
The life I desire
668
00:36:10,140 --> 00:36:11,220
will not be in Qingkang
669
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:12,530
or Pei's Residence.
670
00:36:15,530 --> 00:36:16,450
Is it in Wei's Residence
671
00:36:18,530 --> 00:36:19,530
or Yueluo?
672
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,450
Why must I be trapped by you two?
673
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:27,000
I know you don't like
the strictness of the palace.
674
00:36:27,350 --> 00:36:28,260
If you marry me,
675
00:36:28,730 --> 00:36:31,080
I will take you away from here
in a rightful and proper manner.
676
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:32,160
Your master, too.
677
00:36:33,470 --> 00:36:35,160
She is now in the hands of Wei Zhao
678
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:36,620
but he
679
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,890
has too many reasons
that he cannot control.
680
00:36:40,050 --> 00:36:41,450
I am the only one
681
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:43,600
who can save you and your master.
682
00:36:44,490 --> 00:36:46,200
Your Lordship,
683
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:48,120
are you trying to exchange conditions
684
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,780
for my marriage contract?
685
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,580
Even if I have to trade everything,
686
00:36:54,570 --> 00:36:55,350
it's all worth it.
687
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,180
Lord Pei, why are you doing this?
688
00:37:00,030 --> 00:37:02,350
My heart is not like a stone,
it cannot be easily swayed.
689
00:37:02,620 --> 00:37:04,310
I will wait for your willingness.
690
00:37:14,570 --> 00:37:16,080
I will find a way to save your master.
691
00:37:24,530 --> 00:37:27,770
(Lord of Jianding's Residence)
692
00:37:27,830 --> 00:37:29,640
I told Chancellor Dong
to call the marriage off,
693
00:37:30,050 --> 00:37:31,740
I also asked His Majesty
to grant a marriage.
694
00:37:33,220 --> 00:37:36,530
How could you do
such a rebellious thing behind my back?
695
00:37:39,450 --> 00:37:41,260
She was just a maid.
696
00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:42,780
If you really want to marry her,
697
00:37:42,820 --> 00:37:44,260
you can just get her as a concubine,
698
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,530
but now she wears the title
of a princess for nothing.
699
00:37:47,530 --> 00:37:48,970
She has no status or power.
700
00:37:48,970 --> 00:37:50,220
Are you stupid?
701
00:37:54,530 --> 00:37:56,220
If you know that marriage is a big deal,
702
00:37:56,780 --> 00:37:58,640
why are you using me
to this extent?
703
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,470
Every step I make in the court
704
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,100
is all for the Pei family.
705
00:38:02,740 --> 00:38:03,830
Isn't that enough?
706
00:38:04,490 --> 00:38:05,260
No.
707
00:38:05,540 --> 00:38:07,080
Every battle I had
on the battlefield
708
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,490
were also for the Pei family's sake.
709
00:38:08,780 --> 00:38:09,600
No!
710
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,100
How else do you want from me?
711
00:38:11,950 --> 00:38:13,030
I already told you
712
00:38:14,140 --> 00:38:16,220
I want you to be more than just
a great minister,
713
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:17,740
I want you to go all the way to the top!
714
00:38:18,260 --> 00:38:19,370
You should give everything up
715
00:38:19,370 --> 00:38:20,530
and get everything you deserve!
716
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,010
Jiang Ci is the exception.
717
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,640
She only has value
718
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:32,470
in finding Yan Shuangqiao.
719
00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:37,350
Not everyone bets on marriages
720
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,010
like you do.
721
00:38:41,010 --> 00:38:41,850
Yan Shuangqiao
722
00:38:42,370 --> 00:38:43,750
is already in the hands of Wei Zhao.
723
00:38:45,580 --> 00:38:47,830
I will no longer do everything
as you wish anymore.
724
00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:04,050
I'd like to see how you get
what you want.
725
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:20,600
The princess is noble,
726
00:39:20,830 --> 00:39:23,300
there's no need to be so extreme
in teaching etiquette.
727
00:39:23,970 --> 00:39:25,080
Lord Commander,
728
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,740
I am here on His Majesty's order.
729
00:39:28,410 --> 00:39:30,100
The princess has not yet
learned etiquette,
730
00:39:30,570 --> 00:39:32,490
so I dare not slack off.
731
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:34,980
I am also following
His Majesty's orders,
732
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,620
I'm here to give a gift to the princess.
733
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,220
According to your opinion,
734
00:39:38,740 --> 00:39:39,700
should you come first
735
00:39:39,830 --> 00:39:40,700
or me?
736
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:43,140
Please pardon me.
737
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:45,100
Your Lordship, please.
738
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,180
Yi Fei.
739
00:39:46,490 --> 00:39:47,030
Yes.
740
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,890
Send her to have tea and rest.
741
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:52,260
Place the gifts well.
742
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:01,910
Get some rest.
743
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,180
Have some snacks.
744
00:40:30,570 --> 00:40:31,970
How is Master now?
745
00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:35,080
She is safe for now.
746
00:40:35,930 --> 00:40:37,390
Please take good care
747
00:40:37,550 --> 00:40:38,660
of my master.
748
00:40:49,970 --> 00:40:51,140
Don't waste it.
749
00:40:54,890 --> 00:40:55,930
What are you doing?
750
00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:57,600
Miss,
751
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,700
when can I leave the palace
752
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,640
after becoming a princess?
753
00:41:02,070 --> 00:41:04,070
A Moving Badge is required
to leave the palace.
754
00:41:11,140 --> 00:41:12,800
I probably knelt for far too long
755
00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:14,330
and injured my knees.
756
00:41:16,830 --> 00:41:17,830
Let me check it out.
757
00:41:18,140 --> 00:41:19,450
What's there to see?
758
00:41:20,370 --> 00:41:21,470
Anyway,
759
00:41:21,550 --> 00:41:23,290
I'll have to follow etiquette
every day.
760
00:41:23,370 --> 00:41:25,080
My knees are going to suffer.
761
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:34,640
Ever since I stayed
in Yuchun Pavilion,
762
00:41:36,220 --> 00:41:38,450
I don't even know whose spies
are around me.
763
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,070
I have to follow etiquette
764
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:42,700
and abide by all the rules every day.
765
00:41:43,370 --> 00:41:46,030
Even servants around here
can go to a temple fair,
766
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,950
how about me?
767
00:41:48,330 --> 00:41:49,640
I can only be trapped here.
768
00:41:50,430 --> 00:41:52,220
I'm afraid I won't be ever free again.
769
00:41:55,850 --> 00:41:57,070
If you want to leave the palace,
770
00:41:57,470 --> 00:41:58,700
you can just tell me directly.
771
00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:00,760
Why must you steal my badge?
772
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:06,450
Tonight,
773
00:42:06,620 --> 00:42:08,010
I'll take you out of the palace,
774
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,030
but only for one night.
775
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,550
You must follow me the whole time.
776
00:42:29,390 --> 00:42:30,510
Where are you taking me?
777
00:42:31,660 --> 00:42:32,640
Somewhere to relax.
778
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,240
You clearly know
what my conflict is about.
779
00:42:36,350 --> 00:42:37,570
We agreed to just follow me.
780
00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:40,170
Stop the carriage.
781
00:42:43,580 --> 00:42:45,580
Our commander is busy returning home.
782
00:42:52,660 --> 00:42:53,780
Greetings, Commander.
783
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,470
Enough?
784
00:42:56,780 --> 00:42:57,640
Pardon me.
785
00:42:57,870 --> 00:42:58,680
