00:32:58,657 I am quite different. 548 00:32:58,957 --> 00:33:01,577 I have stayed away from the court for years and am all by myself. 549 00:33:02,007 --> 00:33:04,737 I am just a frail, unnoticed, 550 00:33:05,447 --> 00:33:06,967 and idle Crown Prince. 551 00:33:07,537 --> 00:33:09,697 He managed to silently infiltrate the Emperor's 552 00:33:10,257 --> 00:33:12,577 most disciplined and secretive forces, 553 00:33:12,647 --> 00:33:15,537 and he can even stand as an enemy against Xiao Changqing and his brother. 554 00:33:16,007 --> 00:33:18,447 This person is unpredictable. 555 00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:27,537 All of you may leave now. 556 00:33:27,809 --> 00:33:29,097 I want to be alone for a while. 557 00:33:52,997 --> 00:33:58,477 (East Palace) 558 00:34:19,807 --> 00:34:21,657 The Tagara Incense blend on this bracelet 559 00:34:22,217 --> 00:34:23,177 is unique. 560 00:34:23,617 --> 00:34:25,407 I have only ever smelled it on one person. 561 00:34:27,287 --> 00:34:28,137 So, it turns out 562 00:34:29,447 --> 00:34:31,057 you are that Tagara Incense. 563 00:34:33,447 --> 00:34:34,217 Youyou, 564 00:34:35,007 --> 00:34:36,057 let me explain. 565

00:35:00,777 That was our first meeting, 569 00:35:01,665 --> 00:35:03,137 and there was no calculation involved. 570 00:35:05,089 --> 00:35:06,967 Seeing your cold detachment toward Prince Lie, 571 00:35:08,737 --> 00:35:09,737 I was surprised. 572 00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:13,177 The wisdom and composure you showed when taking the Rouge Ledger 573 00:35:15,217 --> 00:35:16,217 made me curious. 574 00:35:17,887 --> 00:35:19,657 The way you saw through my disguised identity 575 00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:21,617 earned my admiration 576 00:35:22,447 --> 00:35:23,577 and won my heart even more. 577 00:35:23,953 --> 00:35:26,017 When the poison flared up and I almost lost my life, 578 00:35:26,347 --> 00:35:27,847 it was you who gave the Immortal Vine 579 00:35:28,257 --> 00:35:30,577 without a second thought to a stranger like me. 580 00:35:36,577 --> 00:35:37,697 Before I knew it, 581 00:35:38,807 --> 00:35:40,137 I had already fallen too deep. 582 00:35:42,487 --> 00:35:44,887 Later, when I found out I only had five years left to live, 583 00:35:47,265 --> 00:35:49,489 I did think about giving up on this relationship. 584 00:35:50,057 --> 00:35:51,617 But when I saw you fall off the cliff, 585 00:35:52,657 --> 00:35:53,617 I suddenly realized 586 00:35:56,007 --> 00:35:58,567 that I had already reached a point where I couldn't let you go. 587 00:36:02,407 --> 00:36:03,697 So, during that period of time, 588 00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:05,393 you told me you were leaving the capital, 589 00:36:05,697 --> 00:36:07,447 but you actually went to the snowy peaks 590 00:36:07,521 --> 00:36:09,217 to search for the Extreme Frost Cordyceps. 591 00:36:10,161 --> 00:36:11,327 And it was because of this 592 00:36:12,217 --> 00:36:14,407 that the poison blinded your eyes to colors. 593 00:36:16,577 --> 00:36:17,097 Yes. 594 00:36:17,905 --> 00:36:19,857 You play the part of a frail Crown Prince, 595 00:36:20,287 --> 00:36:21,407 yet you have been quietly 596 00:36:22,327 --> 00:36:23,487 recruiting forces 597 00:36:23,927 --> 00:36:25,177 and laying your trap in court, 598 00:36:25,729 --> 00:36:27,617 all just to find the person who poisoned you. 599 00:36:28,177 --> 00:36:29,487 That person is hidden so deeply 600 00:36:30,997 --> 00:36:32,697 that even now, there is not a single clue. 601 00:36:33,477 --> 00:36:35,287 That is why I never made things clear to you. 602 00:36:40,273 --> 00:36:42,847 Thank you for coming to my aid time and again, Your Highness. 603 00:36:43,967 --> 00:36:46,617 I will do everything I can to repay you. 604 00:36:47,847 --> 00:36:49,537 But I ask Your Highness to cooperate 605 00:36:49,665 --> 00:36:50,927 and break off our engagement. 606 00:36:56,847 --> 00:36:57,807 What did you say? 607 00:36:58,289 --> 00:37:00,353 Not only did you infiltrate the Embroidered Envoys, 608 00:37:01,057 --> 00:37:03,217 but you can also command the wealthy Hua Fuhai. 609 00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:05,137 Even Cui Jinbai, 610
