00:10:00,223 --> 00:10:01,653
He misled the princess,

188
00:10:01,853 --> 00:10:04,583
indulged in selfish desires,
and caused a tragic incident.

189
00:10:04,733 --> 00:10:05,793
He is permanently banned

190
00:10:05,793 --> 00:10:08,013
from the imperial exam
and any official position.

191
00:10:08,253 --> 00:10:10,343
The Duke of Anguo had failed
to educate his son properly.

192
00:10:10,613 --> 00:10:12,133
His salary will be forfeited
for three years.

193
00:10:12,253 --> 00:10:14,223
May she abide by the laws

194
00:10:14,423 --> 00:10:15,703
and speak and act with caution.

195
00:10:16,223 --> 00:10:18,253
The authorities will enforce the decree.

196
00:10:18,533 --> 00:10:20,303
The authorities will enforce the decree.

197
00:10:21,343 --> 00:10:22,703
Come and receive the decree.

198
00:10:43,463 --> 00:10:45,133
His Majesty has issued a decree.

199
00:10:50,343 --> 00:10:52,063
Jiang Zhan
of the Count of Dongping's Mansion

200
00:10:52,223 --> 00:10:54,493
is intelligent, diligent in learning,
and exceptional in martial skills.

201
00:10:54,853 --> 00:10:56,733
He has been granted a special promotion
to the Imperial Insignia Guard.

202
00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:59,253
The Count of Dongping had done well
in educating his child.

203
00:10:59,583 --> 00:11:01,773
He is granted the hereditary title
for up to five generations.

204
00:11:02,253 --> 00:11:03,853
The authorities will enforce the decree.

205
00:11:09,463 --> 00:11:10,943
Count of Dongping, Mr. Jiang,

206
00:11:11,373 --> 00:11:12,823
receive the decree
and thank His Majesty's grace.

207
00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:16,223
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

208
00:11:19,893 --> 00:11:20,463
Please rise.

209
00:11:25,493 --> 00:11:26,373
This is great.

210
00:11:26,583 --> 00:11:27,773
Sir, thank you for coming.

211
00:11:30,103 --> 00:11:31,703
I've worked hard for so long.

212
00:11:32,773 --> 00:11:34,133
But now, due to the imperial decree,

213
00:11:35,343 --> 00:11:36,223
I don't even need

214
00:11:36,253 --> 00:11:37,223
to attend the selections.

215
00:11:38,653 --> 00:11:39,853
This is good.

216
00:11:43,063 --> 00:11:44,423
Zhan, you're lucky.

217
00:11:45,303 --> 00:11:46,373
Zhan,

218
00:11:46,653 --> 00:11:49,253
this is truly great news.

219
00:11:49,823 --> 00:11:51,773
It was a blessing in disguise all along.

220
00:11:52,853 --> 00:11:54,853
His Majesty

221
00:11:54,983 --> 00:11:56,533
has treated
the Count of Dongping's Mansion well.

222
00:11:56,653 --> 00:11:57,343
Treated us well?

223
00:11:58,223 --> 00:11:59,893
His Majesty has treated
the Princess Royal's Mansion well.

224
00:12:00,493 --> 00:12:01,773
He tosses us

225
00:12:01,773 --> 00:12:02,373
a small benefit

226
00:12:02,423 --> 00:12:03,613
and expects us to drop the matter.

227
00:12:03,773 --> 00:12:04,343
It's all to ensure

228
00:12:04,343 --> 00:12:05,583
that Cui Mingyue stays unharmed.

229
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:06,983
Stop it.

230
00:12:07,103 --> 00:12:08,943
If others hear what you said,

231
00:12:09,253 --> 00:12:11,423
the consequences will be dire.

232
00:12:11,983 --> 00:12:13,133
Look at this child.

233
00:12:14,733 --> 00:12:15,493
Zhan,

234
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:19,183
I thought our hereditary title

235
00:12:19,223 --> 00:12:20,613
would've ended

236
00:12:20,703 --> 00:12:21,773
at your father's generation.

237
00:12:22,253 --> 00:12:25,253
But you've managed to extend it
for two more generations.

238
00:12:26,373 --> 00:12:28,303
You've contributed a lot

239
00:12:28,733 --> 00:12:30,303
to the Count of Dongping's Mansion.

240
00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:31,133
Grandmother,

241
00:12:32,013 --> 00:12:32,943
do you think

242
00:12:34,613 --> 00:12:35,253
that beating I took

243
00:12:35,303 --> 00:12:36,533
was totally worth it?

244
00:13:11,423 --> 00:13:12,493
What are you doing here alone?

245
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:15,103
I...

246
00:13:18,613 --> 00:13:20,063
Your family is worried about you

247
00:13:20,223 --> 00:13:20,943
because they can't find you.

248
00:13:23,493 --> 00:13:24,303
I just want to...

249
00:13:25,253 --> 00:13:26,423
How did you know that I was here?

250
00:13:28,733 --> 00:13:29,583
I was just trying my luck.

251
00:13:30,653 --> 00:13:32,223
You and I first met at this spot.

252
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:33,943
Since the weather is good,

253
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:36,063
I thought you might be here

254
00:13:36,063 --> 00:13:36,983
to enjoy the view again.

255
00:13:41,103 --> 00:13:42,493
I just want some time alone.

256
00:13:44,773 --> 00:13:45,983
If so, just treat it as if I'm not here.

257
00:13:49,103 --> 00:13:51,103
Hey, I said I needed some time alone.

258
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:53,853
You're so annoying.

259
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:08,733
I just never expected His Majesty

260
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:11,653
to extend our hereditary title,
which is a huge deal,

261
00:14:12,533 --> 00:14:13,893
just to silence us.

262
00:14:15,893 --> 00:14:17,183
The funniest thing

263
00:14:18,703 --> 00:14:19,773
is that taking that beating

264
00:14:21,303 --> 00:14:23,063
was actually the best thing

265
00:14:25,223 --> 00:14:26,423
I've ever done for my family.

266
00:14:35,133 --> 00:14:37,223
I'm sure you think I'm useless.

267
00:14:41,463 --> 00:14:42,343
You know, I've loved

268
00:14:44,613 --> 00:14:45,373
reading storybooks

269
00:14:45,703 --> 00:14:46,703
ever since I was a kid.

270
00:14:48,893 --> 00:14:49,533
I wanted

271
00:14:49,533 --> 00:14:50,853
to be a wandering swordswoman.

272
00:14:51,653 --> 00:14:53,303
However, I've never
stepped outside my house before.

273
00:14:54,943 --> 00:14:55,943
I could only travel the world

274
00:14:56,853 --> 00:14:58,223
in my dreams.

275
00:15:02,223 --> 00:15:02,853
But look at me.

276
00:15:03,773 --> 00:15:06,133
I'm sitting right in front of you now.

277
00:15:09,253 --> 00:15:09,853
Therefore,

278
00:15:10,773 --> 00:15:12,103
no matter how far our destination is,

279
00:15:13,703 --> 00:15:14,983
as long as we hold it
close to our hearts,

280
00:15:16,533 --> 00:15:17,533
we'll arrive eventually.

281
00:15:25,983 --> 00:15:27,493
We'll arrive eventually, huh?

282
00:15:32,943 --> 00:15:34,103
We'll arrive eventually.

283
00:15:34,853 --> 00:15:37,103
I already told you.
I'm not going to Lingshui.

284
00:15:40,583 --> 00:15:41,463
Mother,

285
00:15:41,703 --> 00:15:42,943
I don't want to go to Lingshui.

286
00:15:45,223 --> 00:15:46,493
Like it or not, you're going there.

287
00:15:47,253 --> 00:15:48,343
Do you dare defy the imperial decree?

288
00:15:49,773 --> 00:15:50,343
Mother,

289
00:15:50,463 --> 00:15:51,943
you should make a plea
for me in front of Uncle.

290
00:15:52,103 --> 00:15:53,853
He listens to everything you say.

291
00:15:54,183 --> 00:15:55,423
How could you not understand?

292
00:15:56,133 --> 00:15:58,423
He's sending you there
so that you can lay low.

293
00:15:59,253 --> 00:16:00,703
Right now, the civil officials

294
00:16:00,943 --> 00:16:02,493
in the court are criticizing you.

295
00:16:02,613 --> 00:16:04,493
Everyone on the streets
is talking about what you've done.

296
00:16:04,733 --> 00:16:05,983
Public opinion is terrifying, you know?

297
00:16:06,703 --> 00:16:07,773
I managed to procure

298
00:16:08,703 --> 00:16:10,373
this imperial decree

299
00:16:10,493 --> 00:16:11,613
after a lot of effort.

300
00:16:11,983 --> 00:16:13,063
Your Highness,

301
00:16:14,253 --> 00:16:16,733
Her Highness has already done
everything she could.

302
00:16:16,853 --> 00:16:19,133
You should lay low
in Lingshui for the time being.

303
00:16:19,423 --> 00:16:20,653
Once everything settles down,

304
00:16:20,823 --> 00:16:22,583
Her Highness
will definitely ask His Majesty

305
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:23,983
to grant your return.

306
00:16:24,893 --> 00:16:27,133
You're Her Highness's only daughter.

307
00:16:27,343 --> 00:16:28,303
How could she bear

308
00:16:28,343 --> 00:16:29,943
to part with you?

309
00:16:33,823 --> 00:16:34,423
If so,

310
00:16:36,183 --> 00:16:37,373
how long do I have to stay there?

311
00:16:40,103 --> 00:16:41,493
Until you truly repent of your actions

312
00:16:41,703 --> 00:16:42,943
and stop causing trouble.

313
00:16:44,703 --> 00:16:45,253
Mother,

314
00:16:45,653 --> 00:16:46,853
I know my fault now.

315
00:16:47,373 --> 00:16:48,103
Don't worry.

316
00:16:48,373 --> 00:16:49,853
I'll head to Lingshui
just like I'm supposed to.

317
00:16:50,583 --> 00:16:51,773
I'll head to the ancestral hall

318
00:16:51,893 --> 00:16:53,373
and chant sutras
for my late cousin every day.

319
00:16:53,653 --> 00:16:54,893
I'll never cause any trouble again.

320
00:17:03,983 --> 00:17:05,183
The weather is getting colder,

321
00:17:05,382 --> 00:17:06,703
so bring her more warm clothes.

322
00:17:06,813 --> 00:17:09,382
She has always had a sensitive stomach
and is quite picky with food.

323
00:17:10,142 --> 00:17:12,092
Send two chefs from the household
to cook for her.

324
00:17:12,733 --> 00:17:14,773
Yes, Your Highness. Don't worry.

325
00:17:15,013 --> 00:17:16,493
I've made the necessary preparations.

326
00:17:18,423 --> 00:17:19,983
You must reflect upon your actions.

327
00:17:20,463 --> 00:17:21,573
Do not disappoint me again.

328
00:17:22,862 --> 00:17:23,703
Understood, Mother.

329
00:17:34,253 --> 00:17:34,983
Xiaolyu.

330
00:17:37,423 --> 00:17:39,663
What have I done wrong?

331
00:17:41,423 --> 00:17:43,423
I was wrong for not being cruel enough.

332
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:47,813
I should have stabbed Jiang Zhan

333
00:17:48,863 --> 00:17:50,903
at least a dozen times

334
00:17:52,383 --> 00:17:53,733
to make sure that he was dead.

335
00:18:20,183 --> 00:18:20,813
Wait.

336
00:18:23,623 --> 00:18:24,623
You just rescued me.

337
00:18:25,293 --> 00:18:25,863
Tell me.

338
00:18:26,983 --> 00:18:27,863
What do you want?

339
00:18:33,053 --> 00:18:33,573
Go.

340
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:36,223
Send a letter to Zaoshu Alley.

341
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:38,383
Tell Yu Qi

342
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:39,733
to see me off tomorrow
at the Wuli Pavilion

343
00:18:40,293 --> 00:18:41,143
outside the city.

344
00:18:41,733 --> 00:18:42,533
Tell him this.

345
00:18:43,663 --> 00:18:44,733
If he doesn't show up,

346
00:18:45,983 --> 00:18:47,383
I'll invite the Jiang family there.

347
00:18:48,093 --> 00:18:48,573
Yes, Your Highness.

348
00:18:54,293 --> 00:18:55,493
Let's have some tea first.

349
00:18:56,093 --> 00:18:57,573
Zhan had a close shave this time.

350
00:18:57,703 --> 00:18:58,493
I'm sure all of us

351
00:18:58,533 --> 00:18:59,623
were anxious and nervous.

352
00:18:59,983 --> 00:19:01,623
Now that everything is getting better,

353
00:19:01,903 --> 00:19:03,383
why don't we go on a trip?

354
00:19:03,463 --> 00:19:04,703
Let's go and have some fun, shall we?

355
00:19:04,733 --> 00:19:05,493
- Sure.
- Sure.

356
00:19:12,333 --> 00:19:13,053
Where are we heading?

357
00:19:13,493 --> 00:19:14,293
Let's head to...

358
00:19:14,333 --> 00:19:14,733
Lingshui.

359
00:19:16,383 --> 00:19:17,053
Si and I intend to head back

360
00:19:17,183 --> 00:19:18,333
and pay respect to our ancestors anyway.

361
00:19:19,013 --> 00:19:20,013
Since I survived this ordeal,

362
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:21,703
I should tell Yi about it.

363
00:19:22,333 --> 00:19:23,493
You're quite clever, huh?

364
00:19:23,703 --> 00:19:24,983
You're making us escort you there

365
00:19:25,183 --> 00:19:26,253
so that you can perform your duties.

366
00:19:27,423 --> 00:19:29,143
It's more fun this way.

367
00:19:29,383 --> 00:19:30,143
Besides,

368
00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:32,573
the scenery along the way is enchanting.

369
00:19:32,983 --> 00:19:35,333
I guarantee that you'll like it.

370
00:19:35,533 --> 00:19:36,053
I need to join

371
00:19:36,093 --> 00:19:37,423
the Imperial Insignia Guards
in a few days.

372
00:19:37,903 --> 00:19:38,983
We don't have time to waste.

373
00:19:39,143 --> 00:19:39,863
I'll head back

374
00:19:39,863 --> 00:19:40,733
and notify Father.

375
00:19:40,863 --> 00:19:41,813
Let's depart tomorrow.

376
00:19:42,423 --> 00:19:44,053
Zhan, we should see Mr. Zhen

377
00:19:44,093 --> 00:19:45,463
before our departure.

378
00:19:46,773 --> 00:19:47,573
This is your second time

379
00:19:47,623 --> 00:19:48,813
dropping your charges.

380
00:19:49,293 --> 00:19:49,943
Indeed.

381
00:19:52,253 --> 00:19:53,423
The mastermind, Cui Mingyue,

382
00:19:54,053 --> 00:19:55,533
was deemed as an accomplice.

383
00:19:56,223 --> 00:19:57,703
She merely received
a demotion by one rank.

384
00:19:58,983 --> 00:20:00,293
How is that a punishment?

385
00:20:02,733 --> 00:20:05,253
Mr. Zhan, you were abused by them.

386
00:20:06,333 --> 00:20:08,663
Do you intend
to let them off just like that?

387
00:20:08,943 --> 00:20:09,493
Or are you choosing

388
00:20:09,533 --> 00:20:10,663
to keep quiet

389
00:20:11,773 --> 00:20:13,293
because of the rewards you've received?

390
00:20:15,293 --> 00:20:17,093
Mr. Zhen, are you belittling me?

391
00:20:17,573 --> 00:20:18,863
His Majesty issued the decree

392
00:20:19,863 --> 00:20:21,943
as a gesture of consolation and a test.

393
00:20:22,773 --> 00:20:24,863
If the Count of Dongping's Mansion
rejected the reward and pressed charges

394
00:20:24,903 --> 00:20:25,663
to the very end,

395
00:20:25,813 --> 00:20:26,733
Cui Mingyue

396
00:20:27,093 --> 00:20:28,813
would get the punishment she deserves.

397
00:20:29,293 --> 00:20:30,863
Mr. Zhen, it's easy for you to say.

398
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:34,703
What would you do

399
00:20:34,903 --> 00:20:35,733
if you were in my shoes?

400
00:20:39,463 --> 00:20:40,493
If I were in your shoes...

401
00:20:48,573 --> 00:20:49,903
I would definitely press charges
against her until the end.

402
00:20:50,773 --> 00:20:51,623
Only death may stop me.

403
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:03,733
Miss Si,

404
00:21:04,533 --> 00:21:05,253
Mr. Zhan,

405
00:21:06,903 --> 00:21:07,663
I do not indulge in endless discussions

406
00:21:08,093 --> 00:21:09,663
without taking action.

407
00:21:10,423 --> 00:21:11,663
As long as you two are willing,

408
00:21:11,863 --> 00:21:13,053
I'll accompany you until the end

409
00:21:13,093 --> 00:21:14,143
even if it means I have to risk

410
00:21:14,493 --> 00:21:15,463
losing my position.

411
00:21:15,943 --> 00:21:16,733
If, in the future,

412
00:21:17,183 --> 00:21:18,533
His Majesty still chooses
to practice favoritism,

413
00:21:19,253 --> 00:21:21,463
I'll definitely offer my counsel
to His Majesty

414
00:21:22,383 --> 00:21:23,423
even at the cost of my life.

415
00:21:28,223 --> 00:21:29,293
Thank you. Mr. Zhen.

416
00:21:30,013 --> 00:21:30,663
But

417
00:21:31,663 --> 00:21:32,333
that will be unnecessary.

418
00:21:33,223 --> 00:21:35,533
Miss Si, do you not believe me?

419
00:21:35,863 --> 00:21:36,493
I do believe you.

420
00:21:37,143 --> 00:21:38,253
But the Count of Dongping's Mansion

421
00:21:38,333 --> 00:21:38,983
is unworthy of such a favor.

422
00:21:40,183 --> 00:21:41,053
Mr. Zhen, all of us know

423
00:21:41,703 --> 00:21:42,773
that you're a good official.

424
00:21:43,533 --> 00:21:44,863
So you should fight for the benefit

425
00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:45,733
of the people of Ling'an.

426
00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:47,573
You shouldn't take such a huge risk

427
00:21:47,663 --> 00:21:48,573
for the sake

428
00:21:48,663 --> 00:21:50,053
of our family.

429
00:21:51,463 --> 00:21:52,093
Moreover,

430
00:21:53,093 --> 00:21:54,423
we know that you're noble and fearless.

431
00:21:55,463 --> 00:21:56,333
However,

432
00:21:57,773 --> 00:21:58,703
we're mere commoners.

433
00:21:59,533 --> 00:22:00,903
Although the Count of Dongping's Mansion

434
00:22:01,053 --> 00:22:02,093
isn't exactly satisfied

435
00:22:02,223 --> 00:22:03,463
with the current result,

436
00:22:03,983 --> 00:22:06,773
we understand the importance
of recognizing the situation.

437
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:09,703
Mr. Zhen, please don't worry about us.

438
00:22:10,573 --> 00:22:11,223
Farewell.

439
00:22:17,603 --> 00:22:20,203
[Main Hall
of the Capital Administration Office]

440
00:22:20,223 --> 00:22:20,983
Miss Si, wait.

441
00:22:23,383 --> 00:22:25,493
Mr. Zhen, do you need anything else?

442
00:22:27,773 --> 00:22:28,773
I...

443
00:22:31,333 --> 00:22:32,383
It's nothing.

444
00:22:32,813 --> 00:22:34,093
I just wish to speak with you

445
00:22:34,733 --> 00:22:35,533
in private.

446
00:22:39,423 --> 00:22:41,423
Zhan, you can wait for me

447
00:22:41,573 --> 00:22:42,663
over there.

448
00:22:44,183 --> 00:22:44,813
All right.

449
00:23:05,293 --> 00:23:05,903
Miss Si,

450
00:23:07,093 --> 00:23:09,053
I still have feelings...

451
00:23:09,143 --> 00:23:09,733
Mr. Zhen.

452
00:23:11,773 --> 00:23:13,903
Zhen, in the future,

453
00:23:14,863 --> 00:23:15,423
you don't need

454
00:23:15,423 --> 00:23:17,733
to waste your time on me.

455
00:23:18,333 --> 00:23:19,423
Did I make you upset

456
00:23:19,663 --> 00:23:20,663
with my words just now?

457
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:21,383
That's not it.

458
00:23:21,903 --> 00:23:23,223
Zhen, you have an upright nature.

459
00:23:23,663 --> 00:23:25,013
I'm impressed

460
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:26,333
by what you said just now.

461
00:23:27,183 --> 00:23:27,703
Miss Si,

462
00:23:28,183 --> 00:23:29,463
I knew that you could understand me.

463
00:23:30,383 --> 00:23:31,733
The Princess Royal wields
absolute authority.

464
00:23:32,183 --> 00:23:33,383
I will surely not press the issue

465
00:23:34,293 --> 00:23:35,383
if it were someone else.

466
00:23:36,183 --> 00:23:37,293
But you are Miss Si

467
00:23:37,463 --> 00:23:38,623
who fears neither gossip

468
00:23:38,903 --> 00:23:40,493
nor power and wealth.

469
00:23:40,943 --> 00:23:42,053
You could even...

470
00:23:42,053 --> 00:23:42,573
Zhen.

471
00:23:44,013 --> 00:23:45,293
My brother has just experienced

472
00:23:45,293 --> 00:23:46,093
a near-death crisis.

473
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:48,223
He was lucky enough

474
00:23:48,463 --> 00:23:49,733
to have survived the ordeal.

475
00:23:51,143 --> 00:23:52,183
In the future,

476
00:23:52,533 --> 00:23:54,013
I only hope that my family and I

477
00:23:54,293 --> 00:23:55,703
can lead peaceful lives.

478
00:23:57,253 --> 00:23:59,493
Also, about what you said just now,

479
00:24:00,663 --> 00:24:03,013
the Jiang Si who once had the courage

480
00:24:03,013 --> 00:24:04,983
to stand up in court

481
00:24:06,773 --> 00:24:08,093
is not all that I am.

482
00:24:08,903 --> 00:24:10,013
Most of the time,

483
00:24:10,903 --> 00:24:12,703
I'll fear, go into hiding,

484
00:24:13,663 --> 00:24:14,773
and weigh the pros and cons.

485
00:24:14,983 --> 00:24:16,293
You don't need
to belittle yourself like that.

486
00:24:17,223 --> 00:24:19,293
As the saying goes,
true courage appears as caution.

487
00:24:20,253 --> 00:24:22,333
How many women in this world

488
00:24:22,733 --> 00:24:23,573
can muster the same courage

489
00:24:23,573 --> 00:24:24,423
as you?

490
00:24:25,183 --> 00:24:26,663
I didn't belittle myself.

491
00:24:27,223 --> 00:24:28,143
Zhen,

492
00:24:28,663 --> 00:24:29,333
I'm not as good

493
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:30,623
as you imagine.

494
00:24:32,143 --> 00:24:33,253
The sky has dark clouds,

495
00:24:33,903 --> 00:24:35,013
just like how people have shadows.

496
00:24:37,183 --> 00:24:38,253
In the court,

497
00:24:39,573 --> 00:24:40,903
I once lied.

498
00:24:42,093 --> 00:24:43,143
I've resorted to certain means

499
00:24:44,093 --> 00:24:45,623
outside the court

500
00:24:47,143 --> 00:24:48,223
in order to achieve my goals.

501
00:24:48,903 --> 00:24:50,223
Zhen, in your world,

502
00:24:50,733 --> 00:24:51,813
everything is either black or white.

503
00:24:52,223 --> 00:24:54,533
Therefore, you and I

504
00:24:55,573 --> 00:24:56,493
don't suit each other.

505
00:25:07,773 --> 00:25:08,663
I beg to differ.

506
00:25:11,013 --> 00:25:12,013
Constant dripping wears away the stone,

507
00:25:12,863 --> 00:25:13,773
and faith will move mountains.

508
00:25:14,733 --> 00:25:16,333
But I'm not the one you're seeking.

509
00:25:19,013 --> 00:25:20,573
Miss Si, you rejected me
and didn't even give me a chance.

510
00:25:21,663 --> 00:25:22,983
It's because you already
have someone you fancy,

511
00:25:23,773 --> 00:25:24,423
right?

512
00:25:25,183 --> 00:25:26,053
I rejected you

513
00:25:26,533 --> 00:25:27,623
merely because

514
00:25:27,623 --> 00:25:28,493
we don't suit each other.

515
00:25:29,463 --> 00:25:30,533
It has nothing to do with anyone else.

516
00:25:36,903 --> 00:25:37,703
I see.

517
00:25:40,493 --> 00:25:41,143
Farewell.

518
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:45,253
Miss Si.

519
00:25:48,983 --> 00:25:49,703
Has Yu Qi

520
00:25:49,943 --> 00:25:51,183
seen your dark side before?

521
00:25:52,143 --> 00:25:53,383
Does he know everything about you?

522
00:25:58,383 --> 00:25:59,053
He does.

[Capital Administration Office]

524
00:27:27,183 --> 00:27:28,463
What do you think? Do they look good?

525
00:27:28,943 --> 00:27:29,703
They look great.

00:27:45,533 --> 00:27:46,463
Look. I arranged these flowers for you.

529

Do they look nice?

530
00:27:50,623 --> 00:27:51,903
You rescued me that night.

00:27:52,143 --> 00:27:53,573
Naturally, I have to thank you.

532
00:27:54,983 --> 00:27:56,703
I wouldn't have rescued you

Don't force me to make you

536

comply the hard way.

What are you trying to say?

540
00:28:18,293 --> 00:28:20,423
You returned to Ling'an
without being summoned.

541
00:28:22,053 --> 00:28:22,983
Does His Majesty know about it?

542
00:28:24,663 --> 00:28:27,493
Are you blackmailing me?

543
00:28:29,533 --> 00:28:30,533
You're an intelligent man.

544
00:28:31,463 --> 00:28:32,903

Yu Qi, I've taken a liking to you.

547
00:28:40,093 --> 00:28:40,863
I don't care

548
00:28:40,863 --> 00:28:42,143
if you're an exiled prince

549
00:28:42,463 --> 00:28:43,703
or a mere commandant.

00:28:44,623 --> 00:28:45,773
As long as you follow me to Lingshui,

551
00:28:46,423 --> 00:28:47,773
I promise that you'll lead
a luxurious life

552
00:28:47,773 --> 00:28:48,703
and rise through
the ranks in the future.

00:28:50,663 --> 00:28:52,623
A county princess is telling a prince

that she can provide him
with a luxurious life

555
00:28:54,053 --> 00:28:55,533
and that he
can rise through the ranks, huh?

556
00:28:55,623 --> 00:28:57,943

whatever she wants in Ling'an City.

558
00:29:01,093 --> 00:29:02,383
Why did you bring up my mother?

559
00:29:03,293 --> 00:29:04,813
Do you all truly think

560
00:29:04,813 --> 00:29:05,943
that everything will proceed

561
00:29:05,943 --> 00:29:07,813
according to your will
just because you have power?

562
00:29:09,463 --> 00:29:11,253
If so, how did Cao Xingyu
of the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

563
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:13,493
end up in prison?

564
00:29:14,223 --> 00:29:16,223
How was Ji Chongyi
of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion

565
00:29:16,493 --> 00:29:17,773
banned from all official positions?

566
00:29:17,813 --> 00:29:21,623
And you, the esteemed Princess Mingyue,

567
00:29:22,423 --> 00:29:24,223
was demoted to a county princess.

568
00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:26,573
You're leaving Ling'an City in disgrace.

569
00:29:26,773 --> 00:29:28,533
Your Highness, I don't think

570
00:29:28,943 --> 00:29:30,813
I need you to worry about my future.

571
00:29:33,143 --> 00:29:34,573
Let me offer you a piece of advice.

572
00:29:35,013 --> 00:29:37,183
Do not repeat your mistake

573
00:29:38,053 --> 00:29:39,573
and ruin your future.

574
00:29:43,463 --> 00:29:45,013
Is it all because of that wretch,
Jiang Si?

575
00:29:45,623 --> 00:29:46,423
Mark my words.

576
00:29:46,773 --> 00:29:48,533
If anyone dares

577
00:29:49,253 --> 00:29:50,773
to covet the person I like,

578
00:29:50,983 --> 00:29:52,333
I'll gouge out her eyes

579
00:29:52,813 --> 00:29:53,983
and cut off her hands.

580
00:30:12,383 --> 00:30:13,663
Try it if you dare.

581
00:30:14,903 --> 00:30:16,573
If you dare

582
00:30:16,573 --> 00:30:17,773
lay a finger on Jiang Si,

583
00:30:18,663 --> 00:30:20,013
you'll get to see

584
00:30:20,053 --> 00:30:21,463
whether this mere commandant

585
00:30:22,053 --> 00:30:23,053
will take your life

586
00:30:23,053 --> 00:30:24,703
or not.

587
00:30:33,383 --> 00:30:35,573
No men ever dared to reject me.

588
00:30:39,813 --> 00:30:40,573
Yu Qi,

589
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:42,773
one day,

590
00:30:44,813 --> 00:30:46,143
I'll make you marry me

591
00:30:46,143 --> 00:30:47,143
of your own accord!

592
00:30:55,573 --> 00:30:56,093
Aman.

593
00:30:56,903 --> 00:30:57,573
Miss Chuchu.

594
00:30:57,623 --> 00:30:58,813
I was planning to visit you.

595
00:30:58,903 --> 00:30:59,733
What are you doing here?

596
00:30:59,943 --> 00:31:00,903
Mr. Zhan hasn't had

597
00:31:00,903 --> 00:31:01,903
much of an appetite these past few days.

598
00:31:02,053 --> 00:31:03,253
Miss Si told me to buy some snacks

599
00:31:03,293 --> 00:31:04,333
so that he could have them
during the trip.

600
00:31:05,053 --> 00:31:06,573
Seems like he was deeply affected

601
00:31:06,703 --> 00:31:08,053
by the incident with Princess Mingyue.

602
00:31:09,223 --> 00:31:10,383
Miss Chuchu, you have no idea.

603
00:31:10,533 --> 00:31:12,013
Just now, I saw Princess Mingyue

604
00:31:12,093 --> 00:31:13,333
board the carriage for Lingshui.

605
00:31:13,573 --> 00:31:15,093
She brought so many valuables

606
00:31:15,623 --> 00:31:17,623
that it didn't seem like she was exiled.

607
00:31:17,813 --> 00:31:18,813
It seemed like
she was going on a trip instead.

608
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:22,703
Aman, you head back first.

609
00:31:23,053 --> 00:31:23,943
Tell Jiang Zhan

610
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:24,623
that I'll be there later.

611
00:31:27,623 --> 00:31:28,013
Miss Chuchu...

612
00:31:30,903 --> 00:31:33,143
Should I have kept it from her?

613
00:31:33,463 --> 00:31:38,763
[Jiang]

614
00:31:40,383 --> 00:31:41,863
Chuchu and I were supposed
to meet at this time.

615
00:31:41,863 --> 00:31:42,903
Where is she?

616
00:31:43,863 --> 00:31:44,733
Mr. Zhan?

617
00:31:46,533 --> 00:31:47,293
Mr. Zhan.

618
00:31:47,423 --> 00:31:47,943
Aman,

619
00:31:47,943 --> 00:31:49,183
have you seen Miss Chuchu

620
00:31:49,183 --> 00:31:50,463
on your way back?

621
00:31:52,253 --> 00:31:54,253
Miss Chuchu said
she had something to attend to.

622
00:31:54,463 --> 00:31:55,223
She'll come here later.

623
00:31:56,013 --> 00:31:56,703
She had something to attend to?

624
00:31:58,573 --> 00:31:59,223
Mr. Zhan,

625
00:31:59,463 --> 00:32:01,293
I also have things to attend to.
I'll leave now.

626
00:32:01,573 --> 00:32:02,013
Wait.

627
00:32:02,493 --> 00:32:02,983
Aman,

628
00:32:03,333 --> 00:32:04,333
did she not tell you
what she went to do?

629
00:32:14,063 --> 00:32:28,963
[Lingshui County]

630
00:32:38,503 --> 00:32:42,133
[Lingshui County]

631
00:32:50,603 --> 00:32:51,533
[Lingshui County]

632
00:32:55,493 --> 00:32:56,093
Over here.

633
00:33:13,733 --> 00:33:15,333
[Lingshui County]

634
00:33:19,383 --> 00:33:19,863
What's the matter?

635
00:33:20,533 --> 00:33:22,253
Why are you all in a daze? Keep going.

636
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:47,003
[Lingshui County]

637
00:33:57,763 --> 00:33:59,363
[Lingshui County]

638
00:34:10,053 --> 00:34:11,423
Why haven't we arrived at the inn yet?

639
00:34:13,093 --> 00:34:13,823
Your Highness, please pardon us.

640
00:34:14,133 --> 00:34:15,012
I was perplexed as well.

641
00:34:15,343 --> 00:34:16,863
We should have arrived
at the inn long ago.

642
00:34:17,012 --> 00:34:18,533
Maybe we took the detour.

643
00:34:19,533 --> 00:34:20,423
Useless fool.

644
00:34:20,573 --> 00:34:21,343
It's so hot in here.

645
00:34:22,783 --> 00:34:24,533
Your Highness, I think

646
00:34:24,653 --> 00:34:25,742
we just passed by this place.

647
00:34:26,492 --> 00:34:27,213
Are we stuck

648
00:34:27,213 --> 00:34:27,983
in some kind of ghostly illusion?

649
00:34:28,262 --> 00:34:29,463
What nonsense are you talking about?

650
00:34:29,693 --> 00:34:30,943
Seems like someone needs

651
00:34:31,012 --> 00:34:32,173
to spend the night in the woods.

652
00:34:35,053 --> 00:34:35,533
Who's there?

653
00:34:37,573 --> 00:34:37,903
After her!

654
00:34:45,213 --> 00:34:46,133
Stop right there!

655
00:34:46,383 --> 00:34:48,983
- Stop right there!
- Stop right there!

656
00:34:49,742 --> 00:34:51,133
Stop right there!

657
00:34:51,213 --> 00:34:52,423
Stop right there!

658
00:34:52,492 --> 00:34:53,262
Stop right there!

659
00:34:53,653 --> 00:34:54,383
Stop right there!

660
00:35:02,903 --> 00:35:03,493
Chuchu,

661
00:35:03,693 --> 00:35:04,903
where exactly did you go?

662
00:35:05,343 --> 00:35:06,213
I was out for a stroll.

663
00:35:06,743 --> 00:35:08,343
Aman, are you done packing?

664
00:35:08,653 --> 00:35:09,573
Well, if you were out for a stroll...

665
00:35:11,013 --> 00:35:12,173
Is your arm injured?

666
00:35:13,053 --> 00:35:14,533
It's nothing. I just bumped

667
00:35:14,533 --> 00:35:15,693
into a carriage during my walk.

668
00:35:15,823 --> 00:35:16,533
Miss Chuchu.

669
00:35:18,263 --> 00:35:19,093
I'm done packing.

670
00:35:19,213 --> 00:35:19,823
Where's Miss Si?

671
00:35:20,133 --> 00:35:20,693
She's at Haitang House.

672
00:35:20,743 --> 00:35:21,343
Let's go see her.

673
00:35:21,383 --> 00:35:22,053
Sure. Let's go.

674
00:35:22,463 --> 00:35:23,303
Mr. Zhan, please join us.

675
00:35:23,383 --> 00:35:23,783
Let's go.

676
00:35:28,463 --> 00:35:29,533
What's with all the secrecy?

677
00:35:31,493 --> 00:35:32,383
I'll get you some ointment.

678
00:35:36,493 --> 00:35:36,943
Chief,

679
00:35:37,053 --> 00:35:38,493
there's progress on the incident
related to the Directorate of Astronomy.

680
00:35:38,653 --> 00:35:40,053
Back then,
the Chief Astronomer, Mr. Chu,

681
00:35:40,093 --> 00:35:40,743
and the Registrar, Mr. Xiao,
were the first ones

682
00:35:40,783 --> 00:35:42,343
to submit a false memorial
accusing you of being ominous.

683
00:35:42,573 --> 00:35:43,823
Where are they right now?

684
00:35:43,903 --> 00:35:44,613
They're both at Lingshui.

685
00:35:45,093 --> 00:35:46,093
Lingshui?

686
00:35:47,343 --> 00:35:48,573
If so, let's return to the city first.

687
00:35:48,693 --> 00:35:49,573
We'll depart for Lingshui tomorrow.

688
00:35:49,743 --> 00:35:50,383
There's no need to return.

689
00:35:50,823 --> 00:35:51,863
I've already brought everything

690
00:35:51,903 --> 00:35:52,693
we needed.

691
00:35:52,823 --> 00:35:53,783
We can depart now.

692
00:35:57,303 --> 00:35:58,783
Back then, a fortune teller said

693
00:35:59,093 --> 00:36:00,263
that I was ill-fated.

694
00:36:00,653 --> 00:36:01,783
It caused my father

695
00:36:02,013 --> 00:36:03,133
to send me to somewhere distant.

696
00:36:03,943 --> 00:36:04,943
If the weak

697
00:36:05,133 --> 00:36:06,493
are unjustly blamed

698
00:36:06,493 --> 00:36:07,863
with baseless accusations by others

699
00:36:08,493 --> 00:36:09,533
yet refuse to seek the truth

700
00:36:09,533 --> 00:36:10,493
or fight back,

701
00:36:10,903 --> 00:36:11,983
they only validate

702
00:36:11,983 --> 00:36:13,093
those wicked people's lies

703
00:36:13,463 --> 00:36:14,693
and become their accomplices.

704
00:36:15,693 --> 00:36:16,943
If I were framed,

705
00:36:17,303 --> 00:36:18,863
I'd make sure those responsible

706
00:36:19,303 --> 00:36:20,053
pay the price.

707
00:36:25,013 --> 00:36:25,463
Chief.

708
00:36:26,343 --> 00:36:26,743
Chief?

709
00:36:33,823 --> 00:36:35,053
Chief,

710
00:36:35,053 --> 00:36:36,303
were you worried about Miss Si just now?

711
00:36:37,653 --> 00:36:38,463
I don't know

712
00:36:38,463 --> 00:36:39,573
if I should say this.

713
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:41,903
But I'm worried that Miss Si

714
00:36:41,903 --> 00:36:43,263
has already included you in her plans.

715
00:36:44,693 --> 00:36:45,743
Chief, I'm not done yet.

716
00:36:46,053 --> 00:36:47,423
I haven't started my analysis yet.

717
00:36:48,053 --> 00:36:49,263
I think Miss Si really

718
00:36:49,303 --> 00:36:51,093
has the Saintess's ability
to predict the future.

719
00:36:51,173 --> 00:36:51,653
Chief!

720
00:37:00,823 --> 00:37:01,653
Yu.

721
00:37:02,093 --> 00:37:02,533
Qi.

722
00:37:02,823 --> 00:37:03,573
Where are you all going?

723
00:37:05,303 --> 00:37:07,653
Now, I'm a member
of the Imperial Insignia Guards.

724
00:37:07,823 --> 00:37:09,783
I wish to return to our hometown
at Lingshui with my sister

725
00:37:09,863 --> 00:37:11,213
and pay respect to our ancestors
before assuming my position.

726
00:37:11,423 --> 00:37:12,743
We're using the opportunity
to go on a trip as well.

727
00:37:12,983 --> 00:37:14,303
I've never been to Lingshui before.

728
00:37:14,343 --> 00:37:15,383
That's why I joined them.

729
00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:16,823
That sounds pretty fun.

730
00:37:17,213 --> 00:37:17,903
Commandant Yu,

731
00:37:18,423 --> 00:37:19,693
why don't you join us, then?

732
00:37:20,173 --> 00:37:21,863
Yeah. The more the merrier.

733
00:37:21,983 --> 00:37:22,423
That's right.

734
00:37:22,943 --> 00:37:24,213
Chief has some official affairs
to attend to.

735
00:37:24,493 --> 00:37:25,173
Official affairs?

736
00:37:25,943 --> 00:37:26,943
I thought you

737
00:37:26,943 --> 00:37:28,263
came all the way here to see us off.

738
00:37:28,423 --> 00:37:29,903
We're not exactly here to see you off.

739
00:37:30,093 --> 00:37:31,053
Just now, we...

740
00:37:31,053 --> 00:37:33,493
Just now,
we were wandering around nearby

741
00:37:34,013 --> 00:37:35,303
with no particular purpose.

742
00:37:35,863 --> 00:37:37,343
I guess we could join you

743
00:37:38,133 --> 00:37:38,943
for the trip.

744
00:37:39,093 --> 00:37:39,983
That's great.

745
00:37:40,493 --> 00:37:40,943
Yu,

746
00:37:41,423 --> 00:37:42,743
they're so slow.

747
00:37:42,943 --> 00:37:43,693
I wanted

748
00:37:43,743 --> 00:37:44,863
to race against someone, you know?

749
00:37:45,053 --> 00:37:46,533
You think you can race against Qi?

750
00:37:46,653 --> 00:37:47,613
Try to catch up with me first.

751
00:37:48,423 --> 00:37:49,133
You didn't do the countdown.

752
00:37:49,263 --> 00:37:50,423
All right. You two can go ahead.

753
00:37:50,493 --> 00:37:51,263
I'll take a breather first.

754
00:37:51,343 --> 00:37:52,303
All right. We'll see you later.

755
00:38:09,053 --> 00:38:09,693
What's wrong?

756
00:38:10,743 --> 00:38:11,493
Are you homesick?

757
00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:21,783
I'm fine.

758
00:38:24,173 --> 00:38:25,053
I'm glad that you're here with me.

759
00:39:01,823 --> 00:39:02,493
Miss Jiang,

760
00:39:03,423 --> 00:39:04,263
the scenery is great.

761
00:39:04,263 --> 00:39:05,303
Would you like to take a walk?

762
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:06,213
Thank you, Commandant Yu.

763
00:39:06,783 --> 00:39:07,263
But it's fine.

764
00:39:07,653 --> 00:39:09,173
I'll enjoy the view in the carriage.

765
00:39:10,383 --> 00:39:11,533
We aren't in court.

766
00:39:11,903 --> 00:39:13,463
Don't call me Commandant Yu.
It sounds distant.

767
00:39:16,173 --> 00:39:17,133
I'll call you

768
00:39:17,743 --> 00:39:18,463
Mr. Yu, then?

769
00:39:18,903 --> 00:39:19,343
Sure.

770
00:39:20,693 --> 00:39:21,303
Mr. Yu.

771
00:39:23,013 --> 00:39:24,743
I have to thank you

772
00:39:25,303 --> 00:39:26,383
for rescuing my brother.

773
00:39:26,863 --> 00:39:28,213
Close neighbors are more reliable
than distant relatives, you know?

774
00:39:28,783 --> 00:39:29,693
If you ever

775
00:39:29,823 --> 00:39:31,093
need any help in the future,

776
00:39:31,303 --> 00:39:31,823
just let me know.

777
00:39:32,173 --> 00:39:33,493
Are you sure you two
are just close neighbors?

778
00:39:33,823 --> 00:39:35,263
I think there are at least

779
00:39:35,343 --> 00:39:36,693
eight families in the neighborhood.

780
00:39:37,053 --> 00:39:38,173
Mr. Yu, I never saw you

781
00:39:38,173 --> 00:39:39,863
putting in that much effort
to help them out.

782
00:39:40,053 --> 00:39:41,303
Miss Si, it's all because of you.

783
00:39:41,783 --> 00:39:42,573
You and your silver tongue.

784
00:39:47,743 --> 00:39:48,343
Mr. Yu,

785
00:39:48,613 --> 00:39:49,823
before this, I had a nightmare.

786
00:39:49,983 --> 00:39:51,013
I dreamt that my brother
would be in trouble.

787
00:39:51,863 --> 00:39:52,903
When I told other people about it,

788
00:39:53,133 --> 00:39:54,653
they all thought I was overthinking it.

789
00:39:55,383 --> 00:39:56,823
You were the only person who believed me

790
00:39:56,943 --> 00:39:57,863
when I told you about it.

791
00:39:58,903 --> 00:39:59,693
You had no reason

792
00:39:59,693 --> 00:40:00,653
to lie to me anyway.

793
00:40:01,983 --> 00:40:03,053
But seeing your dreams come true

794
00:40:03,783 --> 00:40:05,263
must be quite interesting.

795
00:40:06,493 --> 00:40:07,053
Have you dreamed

796
00:40:07,053 --> 00:40:07,943
of anything else?

797
00:40:08,213 --> 00:40:09,573
Maybe you can predict the future.

798
00:40:14,383 --> 00:40:15,693
Mr. Yu, you must be joking.

799
00:40:15,943 --> 00:40:16,653
How could an ordinary person like me

800
00:40:16,783 --> 00:40:17,983
possess such a power?

801
00:40:27,093 --> 00:40:28,133
Yu, Si,

802
00:40:28,343 --> 00:40:29,823
there's a beautiful stream up ahead.

803
00:40:29,943 --> 00:40:30,533
Let's go there together

804
00:40:30,533 --> 00:40:31,263
and take a break.

805
00:40:31,653 --> 00:40:32,423
I caught it!

806
00:40:32,943 --> 00:40:34,213
Long Dan, you're amazing!

807
00:40:34,823 --> 00:40:36,093
Chief! I caught one!

808
00:40:36,173 --> 00:40:37,303
Hurry. Put it in the basket!

809
00:40:37,423 --> 00:40:38,013
You're amazing!

810
00:40:38,013 --> 00:40:38,983
That's a huge fish!

811
00:40:39,013 --> 00:40:39,903
Hurry. It's slippery.

812
00:40:41,133 --> 00:40:42,383
That's such a small fish.

813
00:40:43,903 --> 00:40:45,213
I'll catch a big one for you.

814
00:40:45,653 --> 00:40:46,093
Come on, then.

815
00:40:47,613 --> 00:40:48,743
Mr. Zhan, are you sure about this?

816
00:41:02,383 --> 00:41:03,823
Zhan, you should start the fire.

817
00:41:04,823 --> 00:41:05,983
I think I'll go and start the fire.

818
00:41:23,613 --> 00:41:24,693
We don't have any firewood.

819
00:41:25,943 --> 00:41:26,743
I'll help you.

820
00:41:27,693 --> 00:41:29,053
I'll gather some dry branches
over there.

821
00:41:29,653 --> 00:41:30,573
Sure.

822
00:41:31,093 --> 00:41:32,173
Be careful not to cut your hand.

823
00:41:46,423 --> 00:41:47,533
Jiang Zhan, look!

824
00:41:47,573 --> 00:41:48,303
I caught one!

825
00:41:48,343 --> 00:41:49,133
You're amazing!

826
00:41:52,133 --> 00:41:52,613
What's wrong?

827
00:41:57,783 --> 00:41:58,493
What happened?

828
00:42:04,943 --> 00:42:05,943
Wait for me.

829
00:42:08,383 --> 00:42:10,053
What's wrong? Did you sprain your ankle?

830
00:42:13,743 --> 00:42:14,383
Let me carry you on my back.

831
00:42:15,743 --> 00:42:16,463
Can you get on my back?

832
00:42:17,213 --> 00:42:18,743
One, two, up!

833
00:42:21,863 --> 00:42:22,303
Let's go.

834
00:42:27,863 --> 00:42:29,573
Put me down.

835
00:42:31,133 --> 00:42:32,013
It's going to rain.

836
00:42:33,383 --> 00:42:34,493
I'll carry you to the woods ahead.

837
00:42:35,263 --> 00:42:35,693
Let's go.

838
00:42:40,423 --> 00:42:41,053
Be careful.

839
00:42:44,383 --> 00:42:44,823
Be careful.
