00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,960 Back then, 379 00:19:51,110 --> 00:19:53,640 whenever I heard you slip sweet words into every conversation, 380 00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:55,480 I always thought you were all smooth talk. 381 00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:57,480 But now, 382 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,070 I actually think 383 00:19:59,070 --> 00:19:59,880 it's rather nice. 384 00:20:09,380 --> 00:20:13,740 (Contemplating the Pine Breeze) 385 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:14,960 Your Highness, 386 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,240 this medicine is far too potent. 387 00:20:18,128 --> 00:20:19,808 You still need to recover with great care. 388 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,550 Brooding over things 389 00:20:22,704 --> 00:20:24,320 is most harmful to your health. 390 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,350 Yunhuai, 391 00:20:30,944 --> 00:20:33,030 whenever I think about the day I'm no longer here, 392 00:20:35,070 --> 00:20:36,750 and Xihe is left to raise our child 393 00:20:37,830 --> 00:20:40,350 while fighting alone in this den of wolves, 394 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,830 my heart aches unbearably. 395 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680 Your Highness has already planned for everything. 396 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,350 Even if that day should ever come, 397 00:21:03,030 --> 00:21:05,830 the Crown Princess would never be left without support. 398 00:21:10,912 --> 00:21:12,750 The Crown Princess commands the inner palace. 399 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:16,030 She has the Duke of Wei's Manor behind her, 400 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,000 and has won over both Shunan and Lanhai. 401 00:21:20,350 --> 00:21:21,750 With their military support, 402 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:24,400 and throughout the court, 403 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,110 from the Director of the Secretariat 404 00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:29,270 down to the local officials, 405 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,440 everything has been arranged. 406 00:21:38,550 --> 00:21:39,830 It's just that I can't accept 407 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,790 that I won't be by her side, 408 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,160 or grow old together with her. 409 00:21:52,550 --> 00:21:54,110 For the one you love most, 410 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,000 no matter how much you do, 411 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,200 it never feels like enough. 412 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,030 Yunhuai, 413 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,790 I was once just like you. 414 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,224 My heart belonged to the mountains and rivers, 415 00:22:08,350 --> 00:22:09,590 and I longed to roam the world. 416 00:22:12,030 --> 00:22:13,510 Until I met her. 417 00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:16,550 For the rest of my life, 418 00:22:18,550 --> 00:22:20,310 I only want to stay by her side. 419 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:23,240 If there is truly a way 420 00:22:23,750 --> 00:22:25,550 to let me stay with her a little longer, 421 00:22:27,056 --> 00:22:29,392 even if it means enduring the agony of reforging my body, 422 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,920 through endless hardship, 423 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,510 I am willing to do it. 424 00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:54,060 (Eight years old) 425 00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:56,900 (Ten years old) 426
