15
00:01:30,773 --> 00:01:31,773
You're going

16
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,383
to tell the truth now!

17
00:01:33,493 --> 00:01:34,773
Confess everything right now!

18
00:01:34,853 --> 00:01:36,623
Or do we really have to
take this to court?

19
00:01:39,053 --> 00:01:40,463
You hit me?

20
00:01:40,493 --> 00:01:41,463
Why shouldn't I?

21
00:01:42,823 --> 00:01:44,293
If not for you,

22
00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:46,693
how could I have made one mistake

23
00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:48,773
after another?

24
00:01:48,773 --> 00:01:50,933
So, you really did poison her?

25
00:01:51,573 --> 00:01:53,543
Ke had no enmity with you.

26
00:01:55,053 --> 00:01:57,743
Why would you
do something so cruel to her?

27
00:01:58,333 --> 00:01:59,493
Did you think

28
00:01:59,823 --> 00:02:01,903
I was born a scheming individual?

29
00:02:03,263 --> 00:02:04,293
Did you all think

30
00:02:04,413 --> 00:02:06,613
that I was born devious?

31
00:02:07,063 --> 00:02:08,692
This is all your fault!

32
00:02:08,853 --> 00:02:09,733
It's all due to you!

33
00:02:09,893 --> 00:02:10,983
You are to blame for this!

34
00:02:11,223 --> 00:02:12,853
You forced me to do it!

35
00:02:13,063 --> 00:02:14,293
You are the true culprits

36
00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:16,413
behind Su Ke's death!

37
00:02:20,413 --> 00:02:21,383
That year,

38
00:02:22,823 --> 00:02:24,693
during the Spring Banquet at Liu Garden,

39
00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:27,693
you held my hand

40
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:30,823
and said that we had
an affinity with each other.

41
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:35,223
You told me to marry into your family
as Countess.

42
00:02:36,852 --> 00:02:37,663
But you?

43
00:02:38,852 --> 00:02:41,543
You fell for a merchant's daughter.

44
00:02:42,343 --> 00:02:45,102
You insisted on annulling our marriage.

45
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:47,663
Everyone in my family

46
00:02:47,663 --> 00:02:49,543
treated me as a laughing stock.

47
00:02:51,173 --> 00:02:51,893
Old Madam,

48
00:02:52,293 --> 00:02:53,783
you hypocritically claimed

49
00:02:53,783 --> 00:02:55,343
that you would come up with a scheme

50
00:02:55,852 --> 00:02:58,223
so that I could marry
your second son instead.

51
00:02:59,173 --> 00:03:01,853
Fine. I granted your wish.

52
00:03:02,173 --> 00:03:03,853
I got married to Anmou!

53
00:03:04,453 --> 00:03:06,733
I merely wanted to fulfill my duty

54
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:08,613
and lead a peaceful life!

55
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:09,983
But you?

56
00:03:10,853 --> 00:03:14,543
You didn't like Su Ke's background.

57
00:03:15,063 --> 00:03:17,823
You pushed me to compete with her!

58
00:03:18,223 --> 00:03:19,503
You even blamed me for being a fool

59
00:03:19,943 --> 00:03:21,983
when I lost to her!

60
00:03:22,613 --> 00:03:23,503
Su Ke is dead!

61
00:03:23,503 --> 00:03:25,852
Wasn't that what you wished for?

62
00:03:27,663 --> 00:03:28,983
Mother isn't someone like that!

63
00:03:29,102 --> 00:03:30,413
You're not allowed to insult her!

64
00:03:30,413 --> 00:03:31,663
Shut up!

65
00:03:31,783 --> 00:03:32,503
You're just a hypocrite

66
00:03:32,503 --> 00:03:34,293
who pretends to be virtuous.

67
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:39,983
You were jealous of your brother
for inheriting the title

68
00:03:40,543 --> 00:03:42,613
and envious of the main branch's
harmonious relationship.

69
00:03:43,013 --> 00:03:44,453
You vented your frustrations on me

70
00:03:44,693 --> 00:03:46,893
and compared me
to Su Ke in every aspect!

71
00:03:47,383 --> 00:03:48,413
When have you ever

72
00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:50,343
respected me as your official wife

73
00:03:50,503 --> 00:03:53,133
like how your brother respected Su Ke?

74
00:03:53,663 --> 00:03:55,823
I gave birth and raised our children.

75
00:03:55,983 --> 00:03:58,263
I managed the household
on your behalf.

76
00:03:58,693 --> 00:04:01,343
But have you ever truly
treated me with respect before?

77
00:04:01,823 --> 00:04:03,943
Has anyone in the family

78
00:04:04,543 --> 00:04:06,983
treated me with respect before?

79
00:04:07,223 --> 00:04:08,173
Who am I?

80
00:04:08,343 --> 00:04:10,253
Do I even have my own name?

81
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:13,853
I'm just a pawn to you all!

82
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:15,853
I can only depend on myself!

83
00:04:15,983 --> 00:04:17,933
I alone must strive

84
00:04:18,023 --> 00:04:19,373

of the family.

91
00:04:45,703 --> 00:04:47,932
Don't you think you have to praise me

92
00:04:49,253 --> 00:04:51,583
for being a virtuous wife?

93
00:04:55,053 --> 00:04:57,173
Even now,
you're still deceiving yourself.

94
00:04:58,733 --> 00:05:01,023
You poisoned her yourself!

95
00:05:01,613 --> 00:05:02,703
My mother was very young

96
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:04,023
when she passed away!

97
00:05:04,983 --> 00:05:05,783
My father spent half of his life

98
00:05:05,783 --> 00:05:07,103
in despair because of you.

99
00:05:08,173 --> 00:05:09,373
My siblings and I had lost our mother

100
00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:10,613
and suffered since young

101
00:05:10,613 --> 00:05:11,783
all because of you.

102
00:05:12,663 --> 00:05:14,023
You have your own children too.

103
00:05:14,343 --> 00:05:15,253
You're a mother yourself.

104
00:05:15,703 --> 00:05:17,543
Do you even have
an ounce of sympathy in you?

105
00:05:18,103 --> 00:05:19,343
Return my mother to me!

106
00:05:19,583 --> 00:05:22,143
You cursed murderer!

107
00:05:22,143 --> 00:05:22,733
Stop!

108
00:05:32,613 --> 00:05:34,543
Although I hated you and your mother,

109
00:05:35,613 --> 00:05:41,253
I didn't mean to kill her!

110
00:05:42,223 --> 00:05:45,543
I was deceived as well!

111
00:05:47,053 --> 00:05:48,463
Su Ke was pregnant back then.

112
00:05:48,663 --> 00:05:49,853
As the acting female head of the family,

113
00:05:50,413 --> 00:05:51,813
I merely wanted to find a prescription

114
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:54,103
that could make her recover slower
from her birth.

115
00:05:54,663 --> 00:05:55,223
This way,

116
00:05:55,783 --> 00:05:57,023
I could continue

117
00:05:57,343 --> 00:05:59,023
being the female head of the family.

118
00:06:00,413 --> 00:06:01,663
Do you have a prescription

119
00:06:02,143 --> 00:06:03,733
that can make a pregnant woman

120
00:06:04,223 --> 00:06:05,583
recover slower after giving birth?

121
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:07,293
Madam,

122
00:06:07,933 --> 00:06:09,253
you found the right person.

123
00:06:09,783 --> 00:06:11,223
You can't obtain

124
00:06:11,583 --> 00:06:12,493
such shady medicine

125
00:06:12,493 --> 00:06:13,343
in normal stores.

126
00:06:13,903 --> 00:06:14,463
I can make it

127
00:06:14,463 --> 00:06:16,103
according to your request.

128
00:06:17,173 --> 00:06:18,703
As for the price...

129
00:06:19,023 --> 00:06:19,903
Money isn't an issue.

130
00:06:20,733 --> 00:06:22,813
What's in the prescription?

131
00:06:23,223 --> 00:06:24,143
It won't kill her, right?

132
00:06:24,463 --> 00:06:25,903
This medicine will only cause
the birthing mother

133
00:06:25,903 --> 00:06:26,813
to suffer deficiency in qi and blood.

134
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:28,613
It'll take her three to five years

135
00:06:28,663 --> 00:06:29,663
for her to recover.

136
00:06:30,053 --> 00:06:31,173
However, it's safe for use.

137
00:06:31,413 --> 00:06:32,663
I put the medicine into Su Ke's bath

138
00:06:33,023 --> 00:06:34,463
as per the traveling physician's

139
00:06:34,463 --> 00:06:36,493
instructions.

140
00:06:37,103 --> 00:06:38,413
But I never expected

00:06:38,703 --> 00:06:40,053
Su Ke to die of a strange illness

142
00:06:40,463 --> 00:06:42,103
right after giving birth to Miss Si.

143

145
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:47,783

Who are you?

149
00:06:51,543 --> 00:06:52,663
Why did you take me here?

Although that lady

157
00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:27,663
was dressed like a merchant,

158
00:07:28,703 --> 00:07:30,933
I saw Langzhong silk

159
00:07:31,543 --> 00:07:34,413
from her inner garment.

160
00:07:35,663 --> 00:07:37,173
That's a fabric

161
00:07:37,983 --> 00:07:39,903
unique to the imperial family.

162
00:07:40,783 --> 00:07:41,813
I can't believe it.

163
00:07:43,253 --> 00:07:44,783
That means
she's from the imperial family?

164
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:46,373
What did she look like?

165

Who was your mastermind?

166
00:07:48,143 --> 00:07:48,733
Enough!

caused your mother's death?

169

It's purely her.

170
00:07:55,293 --> 00:07:56,853
No one else was the mastermind.

00:19:40,223 --> 00:19:40,573
That's why...

375
00:19:40,573 --> 00:19:41,423
Say no more.

376
00:19:42,733 --> 00:19:44,183
He's your only kin.

377
00:19:44,383 --> 00:19:45,623
You should look after him.

378
00:19:45,773 --> 00:19:46,223
Go now.

379
00:19:46,253 --> 00:19:47,733
Thank you, Your Highness.

380
00:19:48,733 --> 00:19:49,143
Let's go.

381
00:19:56,903 --> 00:19:57,663
What are you doing here?

382
00:19:57,943 --> 00:19:59,093
Aunt, we're in trouble.

383
00:20:04,223 --> 00:20:04,983
Are you sure about that?

384
00:20:05,183 --> 00:20:06,013
Yes.

385
00:20:06,383 --> 00:20:08,053
Should we notify Her Highness?

386
00:20:10,623 --> 00:20:11,183
That's inappropriate.

387
00:20:12,423 --> 00:20:13,703
Her Highness only cares
about the results,

388
00:20:13,863 --> 00:20:15,493
not the process.

389
00:20:16,623 --> 00:20:17,903
All these years, many people

390
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:19,733
have tried everything
to get close to her.

391
00:20:21,093 --> 00:20:22,943
Her Highness no longer

392
00:20:22,943 --> 00:20:24,223
trusts me as much either.

393
00:20:25,903 --> 00:20:26,573
We can't afford

394
00:20:26,773 --> 00:20:28,463
to fail this task.

395
00:20:28,863 --> 00:20:29,293
Yes, Aunt.

396
00:20:30,143 --> 00:20:32,053
Why did you take me here?

397
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:33,943
Why are we using the back door?

398
00:20:34,253 --> 00:20:35,253
Aunt, we've arrived.

399
00:20:35,863 --> 00:20:38,013
Where are we?

400
00:20:38,703 --> 00:20:39,293
Look at this place.

401
00:20:39,663 --> 00:20:40,663
You...

402
00:20:43,813 --> 00:20:44,863
You're finally here.

403
00:20:48,663 --> 00:20:49,943
What exactly is going on?

404
00:20:50,463 --> 00:20:51,943
The same poison

405
00:20:51,983 --> 00:20:53,573
took Su Ke's life easily.

406
00:20:54,143 --> 00:20:55,423
How did things go wrong

407
00:20:55,733 --> 00:20:56,983
when it came to her daughter?

408
00:20:57,573 --> 00:20:58,533
Who could've known?

409
00:20:59,423 --> 00:21:01,493
Prince Yan encountered such poison

410
00:21:01,773 --> 00:21:02,943
when he was in Nanwu.

411
00:21:03,623 --> 00:21:04,423
He gave Jiang Si

412
00:21:04,703 --> 00:21:06,143
the antidote.

413
00:21:06,493 --> 00:21:08,253
Jiang Si will regain consciousness soon.

414
00:21:08,703 --> 00:21:10,493
Could it be that the poison
could be neutralized?

415
00:21:11,773 --> 00:21:12,493
What did you say?

416
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:14,383
Nothing.

417
00:21:15,903 --> 00:21:16,813
Prince Yan also said

418
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:18,013
that Jiang Si

419
00:21:18,423 --> 00:21:19,463
was very lucky.

420
00:21:19,903 --> 00:21:20,863
If the dosage of the poison

421
00:21:21,253 --> 00:21:22,463
was just a little higher,

422
00:21:22,733 --> 00:21:23,983
she would've been dead.

423
00:21:24,333 --> 00:21:24,863
That's why

424
00:21:25,253 --> 00:21:26,463
I had him bring you here.

425
00:21:26,943 --> 00:21:28,423
You have to come up
with a solution for me.

426
00:21:28,773 --> 00:21:30,013
If news of this gets out,

427
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:31,333
I'll be done for.

428
00:21:31,383 --> 00:21:32,253
Why are you panicking?

429
00:21:34,863 --> 00:21:35,813
If so,

430
00:21:36,573 --> 00:21:38,293
we can increase
the dosage of the poison.

431
00:21:42,943 --> 00:21:44,573
Nanny Xu, we meet again.

432
00:21:46,143 --> 00:21:47,013
Your Highness?

433
00:21:50,733 --> 00:21:52,183
You're alive?

434
00:21:52,813 --> 00:21:53,533
Nanny Xu,

435
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:55,533
I'm afraid things
won't proceed as you wish.

436
00:21:56,493 --> 00:21:57,013
You!

437
00:21:59,183 --> 00:21:59,663
You!

438
00:21:59,983 --> 00:22:01,463
How dare you betray me?

439
00:22:04,533 --> 00:22:05,623
This is Eternal Slumber,

440
00:22:05,733 --> 00:22:07,093
a plant unique to Nanwu.

441
00:22:07,383 --> 00:22:08,493
It releases poison
when in contact with water.

442
00:22:09,013 --> 00:22:11,223
It can cause vomiting and drowsiness,

443
00:22:11,733 --> 00:22:13,383
leading to exhaustion and death.

444
00:22:18,903 --> 00:22:19,903
This is called Eternal Slumber.

445
00:22:20,143 --> 00:22:21,143
It's unique to Nanwu.

446
00:22:21,573 --> 00:22:22,533
Seems like Princess Royal

447
00:22:22,533 --> 00:22:23,983
was colluding with Nanwu long ago.

448
00:22:25,223 --> 00:22:26,093
But Nanny Xu

449
00:22:26,253 --> 00:22:27,623
has served her for many years.

450
00:22:28,053 --> 00:22:28,813
She's deeply influenced by her.

451
00:22:29,463 --> 00:22:30,863
I'm sure it's difficult

452
00:22:31,463 --> 00:22:32,463
to make her talk.

453
00:22:32,943 --> 00:22:34,013
Don't worry. I have an idea.

454
00:22:35,863 --> 00:22:36,423
Long Dan!

455
00:22:53,013 --> 00:22:54,813
How cruel.

456
00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:56,773
You're resourceful indeed.

457
00:22:57,663 --> 00:22:58,183
What?

458
00:22:58,733 --> 00:23:00,663
I said you were resourceful.

459
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:02,863
Sauce full?

460
00:23:04,943 --> 00:23:06,813
I said, you were resourceful!

461
00:23:17,053 --> 00:23:17,943
Useless fool!

462
00:23:17,943 --> 00:23:18,733
Your Highness, please pardon me!

463
00:23:19,223 --> 00:23:20,053
Mother, are you okay?

464
00:23:20,293 --> 00:23:20,903
I'm fine.

465
00:23:23,533 --> 00:23:25,293
What's with Nanny Xu?

466
00:23:25,573 --> 00:23:26,493
She sleeps all the time.

467
00:23:26,533 --> 00:23:27,903
It's one thing for you
to indulge her on ordinary days.

468
00:23:28,663 --> 00:23:30,293
She knew
that the old ailment on your arm

469
00:23:30,383 --> 00:23:31,663
would act up during rainy days.

470
00:23:32,183 --> 00:23:32,943
She forgot

471
00:23:33,093 --> 00:23:33,983
that only her massage

472
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:35,253
could provide relief to your pain.

473
00:23:36,293 --> 00:23:37,773
She's getting ahead of herself here.

474
00:23:38,463 --> 00:23:39,463
Enough already.

475
00:23:40,813 --> 00:23:42,493
You're making my head hurt.

476
00:23:44,183 --> 00:23:45,623
Her niece-in-law
is the one giving birth.

477
00:23:45,623 --> 00:23:46,943
Why is she over there?

478
00:23:47,813 --> 00:23:48,293
Shijiu!

479
00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:50,663
Yes, Your Highness.

480
00:23:50,703 --> 00:23:51,813
Bring Nanny Xu back.

481
00:23:54,423 --> 00:23:55,383
Why are you still standing there?

482
00:23:58,983 --> 00:23:59,573
Go now.

483
00:24:00,983 --> 00:24:01,423
Yes, Your Highness.

484
00:24:09,573 --> 00:24:10,333
How was it?

485
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:11,623
Do you want to confess now?

486
00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:18,573
I wanted to confess long ago.

487
00:24:18,733 --> 00:24:19,533
But you stuffed my mouth.

488
00:24:19,623 --> 00:24:21,143
How could I speak?

489
00:24:21,573 --> 00:24:23,053
Princess Royal first used this flower

490
00:24:23,093 --> 00:24:24,333
to poison my mother to death.

491
00:24:25,013 --> 00:24:26,293
Now, she attempted to poison me as well.

492
00:24:27,053 --> 00:24:27,663
Let me ask you this.

493
00:24:28,493 --> 00:24:29,703
What feud does the Princess Royal have

494
00:24:29,733 --> 00:24:30,863
toward my family?

495
00:24:31,813 --> 00:24:34,773
The one who offended Her Highness

496
00:24:35,383 --> 00:24:37,423
was your mother, Su Ke.

497
00:24:44,293 --> 00:24:46,053
Your Highness, Nanny Xu is in trouble.

498
00:24:49,983 --> 00:24:50,533
What?

499
00:24:50,983 --> 00:24:52,903
Who told her

500
00:24:53,183 --> 00:24:54,943
to be so alluring?

501
00:24:55,183 --> 00:24:57,863
Not only did your father
annul his marriage for her,

502
00:24:58,013 --> 00:25:00,293
but the Prince Consort, Mr. Cui,

503
00:25:00,573 --> 00:25:02,053
also resisted the imperial decree
and rejected his marriage

504
00:25:02,223 --> 00:25:03,903
because of her.

505
00:25:04,663 --> 00:25:07,183
To Her Highness,

506
00:25:07,943 --> 00:25:10,943
that was utter humiliation!

507
00:25:12,223 --> 00:25:13,663
My mother and Mr. Cui?

508
00:25:14,703 --> 00:25:16,703
I thought you two

509
00:25:16,943 --> 00:25:18,333
were the children of Miss Su

510
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,573
and Mr. Cui.

511
00:25:20,293 --> 00:25:21,223
Miss Fei, by Mr. Cui,

512
00:25:22,573 --> 00:25:24,533
do you mean Cui Mingyue's father?

513
00:25:26,223 --> 00:25:27,253
My parents

514
00:25:27,253 --> 00:25:28,183
were devoted to each other.

515
00:25:28,943 --> 00:25:30,053
Since she has chosen

516
00:25:30,053 --> 00:25:30,903
to get married to Father,

517
00:25:31,293 --> 00:25:32,463
why would she get involved

518
00:25:32,533 --> 00:25:33,383
with Mr. Cui?

519
00:25:33,773 --> 00:25:36,423
Your father was devoted to her.

520
00:25:37,333 --> 00:25:41,143
He gave up on his future because of her.

521
00:25:41,423 --> 00:25:43,733
For her sake,

522
00:25:43,903 --> 00:25:47,293
Mr. Cui grew distant from Her Highness,

523
00:25:47,703 --> 00:25:49,983
and they eventually
became a resentful couple.

524
00:25:51,703 --> 00:25:53,733
But Su Ke?

525
00:25:54,423 --> 00:25:56,983
She stole someone's beloved,
and she was fickle and unfaithful.

526
00:25:57,183 --> 00:25:58,223
She toyed with men...

527
00:25:58,223 --> 00:25:58,663
Shut up!

528
00:25:59,183 --> 00:26:00,423
You're not allowed to insult my mother!

529
00:26:01,383 --> 00:26:01,903
Nanny Xu.

530
00:26:02,493 --> 00:26:03,293
Tell us

531
00:26:03,383 --> 00:26:03,983
how the plant

532
00:26:04,423 --> 00:26:06,013
ended up in Princess Royal's hands.

533
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:08,383
Cure her itch.

534
00:26:09,333 --> 00:26:10,423
Is it itchy?

535
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:12,013
I'll confess!

536
00:26:12,183 --> 00:26:13,573
The woman from Nanwu

537
00:26:14,293 --> 00:26:16,773
tricked Her Highness!

538
00:26:18,813 --> 00:26:20,463
Your Highness, this item

539
00:26:20,903 --> 00:26:21,943
will resolve your issues.

540
00:26:22,573 --> 00:26:25,983
I've heard that Nanwu
is highly skilled in poisoning arts.

541
00:26:26,183 --> 00:26:27,773
I once read from the books

542
00:26:28,093 --> 00:26:29,293
that a woman from Nanwu

543
00:26:29,573 --> 00:26:31,533
planted a love curse on her husband.

544
00:26:32,293 --> 00:26:35,223
After that, her husband
only had eyes for her.

545
00:26:35,903 --> 00:26:37,813
Is this the legendary item?

546
00:26:38,493 --> 00:26:39,053
That was

547
00:26:39,093 --> 00:26:40,383
just a myth.

548
00:26:40,983 --> 00:26:41,863
If Nanwu had a way

549
00:26:41,943 --> 00:26:43,183
to control one's heart and mind,

550
00:26:43,813 --> 00:26:44,573
our realm

551
00:26:44,623 --> 00:26:45,813
would've been different by now.

552
00:26:48,093 --> 00:26:49,143
What is this, then?

553
00:26:49,573 --> 00:26:51,423
It's something
that can help you get rid of

554
00:26:52,253 --> 00:26:53,253
the person you hate.

555
00:26:56,423 --> 00:26:57,253
What a joke.

556
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:00,943
I'm the Princess Royal of Zhou.

557
00:27:01,183 --> 00:27:04,183
I merely need to lift my finger
for someone to vanish.

558
00:27:04,533 --> 00:27:05,143
Of course.

559
00:27:06,293 --> 00:27:07,943
Your Highness,
you hold a prestigious position.

560
00:27:08,623 --> 00:27:09,733
You don't need to dirty your hands

561
00:27:10,143 --> 00:27:11,733
just to get rid of someone.

562
00:27:13,423 --> 00:27:15,143
I'm willing to be your sword.

563
00:27:16,463 --> 00:27:17,383
This item

564
00:27:17,863 --> 00:27:19,733
can make someone die without a trace.

565
00:27:20,423 --> 00:27:21,223
No one

566
00:27:21,623 --> 00:27:22,773
will be able to figure it out.

567
00:27:24,903 --> 00:27:28,463
Xiao Shi and Su Ke
never got along with each other.

568
00:27:29,223 --> 00:27:31,253
We found out that Xiao Shi

569
00:27:31,663 --> 00:27:33,253
was trying to drug Su Ke.

570
00:27:33,573 --> 00:27:34,703
[Renxin Jishi Hall]
That's why we bribed

571
00:27:34,703 --> 00:27:35,333
the traveling physician

572
00:27:35,533 --> 00:27:38,253
and swapped out the medicine
for Eternal Slumber.

573
00:27:38,983 --> 00:27:42,013
We murdered Su Ke through Xiao Shi.

574
00:27:42,573 --> 00:27:44,183
Su Ke was dead.

575
00:27:44,733 --> 00:27:45,773
But Her Highness

576
00:27:45,863 --> 00:27:47,533
didn't get what she wished for.

577
00:27:48,493 --> 00:27:51,733
Mr. Cui grew even more distant from her.

578
00:27:52,093 --> 00:27:53,773
But the woman from Nanwu

579
00:27:54,183 --> 00:27:55,253
gained more and more

580
00:27:55,293 --> 00:27:57,093
of Her Highness's trust.

581
00:27:57,903 --> 00:27:59,983
Where is she right now?

582
00:28:00,183 --> 00:28:02,863
She's very mysterious.

583
00:28:03,013 --> 00:28:04,813
She always shows up with a veil.

584
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:07,333
How would I know where she is?

585
00:28:08,863 --> 00:28:09,623
Nanny Xu,

586
00:28:09,983 --> 00:28:12,143
you know
that this plant is considered evidence.

587
00:28:12,493 --> 00:28:14,093
If we do investigate the case,

588
00:28:14,253 --> 00:28:15,253
the Princess Royal

589
00:28:15,423 --> 00:28:17,013
can completely absolve herself
of any responsibilities.

590
00:28:17,013 --> 00:28:17,943
But not you.

591
00:28:18,223 --> 00:28:20,053
You don't want to rat out your lady.

592
00:28:20,383 --> 00:28:21,493
That's why you made up a story

593
00:28:21,663 --> 00:28:22,943
about a woman from Nanwu

594
00:28:23,253 --> 00:28:24,663
so that we couldn't
investigate the case.

595
00:28:25,293 --> 00:28:26,093
Long Dan, continue.

596
00:28:26,493 --> 00:28:27,253
No!

597
00:28:27,383 --> 00:28:29,493
Don't do it!

598
00:28:29,573 --> 00:28:30,943
I'll try to recall it!

599
00:28:31,093 --> 00:28:32,333
All right. Please go ahead.

600
00:28:33,703 --> 00:28:34,773
I remember now.

601
00:28:34,943 --> 00:28:37,463
After that, the woman from Nanwu

602
00:28:37,493 --> 00:28:39,383
made Her Highness
help her enter the palace.

603
00:28:41,093 --> 00:28:43,053
I remember it was Changning Palace.

604
00:28:43,333 --> 00:28:44,053
Changning Palace?

605
00:28:44,943 --> 00:28:46,223
It's the palace
where the empress resides.

606
00:28:46,943 --> 00:28:48,813
If Her Highness

607
00:28:49,093 --> 00:28:50,573
found out that I've told you

608
00:28:50,573 --> 00:28:52,333
about all of these,

609
00:28:52,983 --> 00:28:54,183
I'm afraid

610
00:28:54,423 --> 00:28:56,663
all three of us

611
00:28:57,333 --> 00:28:58,533
will be in danger.

612
00:28:59,013 --> 00:28:59,983
I have an idea.

613
00:29:00,293 --> 00:29:02,183
Just treat it as if
you have never seen me before.

614
00:29:02,253 --> 00:29:03,053
I was never here.

615
00:29:03,253 --> 00:29:04,463
The encounter never happened,

616
00:29:04,493 --> 00:29:04,863
am I right?

617
00:29:04,863 --> 00:29:05,573
That's right.

618
00:29:05,773 --> 00:29:06,733
What a joke.

619
00:29:07,813 --> 00:29:08,863
Do you think I'll let my mother

620
00:29:08,863 --> 00:29:09,813
die in vain?

621
00:29:10,253 --> 00:29:12,623
Don't tell me

622
00:29:12,623 --> 00:29:14,533
you wish to deal with Her Highness?

623
00:29:14,573 --> 00:29:15,503
An imperial family member
who breaks the law

624
00:29:15,503 --> 00:29:16,293
will be punished just like a commoner!

625
00:29:17,813 --> 00:29:18,983
Such naivety.

626
00:29:19,463 --> 00:29:20,663
Her Highness

627
00:29:20,773 --> 00:29:23,623
is His Majesty's dearest sister.

628
00:29:24,053 --> 00:29:26,053
She's second to none
other than His Majesty himself.

629
00:29:26,253 --> 00:29:28,223
Forget about your mother.

630
00:29:28,663 --> 00:29:30,663
The victims of the arson case
at the Jinshui River

631
00:29:31,093 --> 00:29:34,053
were members of the imperial family.

632
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:35,333
Even so, His Majesty

633
00:29:35,333 --> 00:29:37,013
merely stripped
Princess Mingyue of her title.

634
00:29:37,423 --> 00:29:38,533
Do you think

635
00:29:38,813 --> 00:29:41,093
he'll punish his own sister

636
00:29:41,223 --> 00:29:42,733
for the daughter of a merchant?

637
00:29:42,863 --> 00:29:44,383
Colluding with Nanwu is treason!

638
00:29:44,493 --> 00:29:45,573
His dearest sister?

639
00:29:45,903 --> 00:29:47,463
Do you think
His Majesty will bend the law?

640
00:29:47,493 --> 00:29:48,903
It's Her Highness we're talking about...

641
00:29:48,903 --> 00:29:50,013
This is bad! Prince Yan! My Lady!

642
00:29:50,143 --> 00:29:51,423
A lot of people showed up out there!

643
00:29:58,703 --> 00:29:59,943
Your Highness,
you intruded upon my residence.

644
00:29:59,943 --> 00:30:00,863
What is your motive?

645
00:30:01,423 --> 00:30:03,333
Prince Yan, why are you
playing the victim here?

646
00:30:04,423 --> 00:30:06,773
You abducted Nanny Xu,
who is my servant.

647
00:30:06,983 --> 00:30:09,463
How dare you ask me what my motive is?

648
00:30:10,423 --> 00:30:12,493
Shijiu, why are you
still standing there?

649
00:30:12,863 --> 00:30:13,253
Search the place.

650
00:30:24,223 --> 00:30:24,863
Your Highness!

651
00:30:25,183 --> 00:30:26,573
Your Highness! Please save me!

652
00:30:27,333 --> 00:30:28,733
They lured me here!

653
00:30:29,143 --> 00:30:30,223
I didn't say anything!

654
00:30:30,223 --> 00:30:31,253
I don't know anything!

655
00:30:31,463 --> 00:30:32,143
- Shut up!
- I don't know...

656
00:30:33,093 --> 00:30:33,703
Let's go.

657
00:30:37,253 --> 00:30:38,573
Do not hurt Her Highness!

658
00:30:38,903 --> 00:30:41,093
Jiang Si, what are you up to?

659
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:42,983
Do you intend to kill me?

660
00:30:44,253 --> 00:30:46,983
Come on, then. Kill me!

661
00:30:47,013 --> 00:30:48,253
Do it!

662
00:30:51,223 --> 00:30:52,383
Jiang Si
from the Count of Dongping's Mansion

663
00:30:52,463 --> 00:30:54,293
deceived others
and tried to harm the Princess Royal.

664
00:30:54,333 --> 00:30:55,143
Take her down!

665
00:30:57,493 --> 00:30:59,903
Yu Jin, you arranged for this.

666
00:31:00,903 --> 00:31:01,983
It's been your plan, huh?

667
00:31:02,053 --> 00:31:03,053
Do you intend to rebel?

668
00:31:03,253 --> 00:31:04,623
Don't you believe

669
00:31:05,703 --> 00:31:07,293
that I'll kill all of you right now?

670
00:31:08,573 --> 00:31:10,663
His Majesty's decree has arrived.

671
00:31:17,223 --> 00:31:17,863
Rong Yang.

672
00:31:19,493 --> 00:31:20,423
What are you doing here?

673
00:31:21,143 --> 00:31:22,573
You're quite well-informed, aren't you?

674
00:31:23,493 --> 00:31:24,733
You rushed all the way here

675
00:31:25,093 --> 00:31:26,573
just to save her daughter.

676
00:31:33,013 --> 00:31:34,093
Prince Yan, accept the decree.

677
00:31:34,863 --> 00:31:35,863
As per His Majesty's decree,

678
00:31:36,293 --> 00:31:38,183
Prince Yan, Yu Jin,

679
00:31:38,573 --> 00:31:39,943
is to enter the palace
and see His Majesty immediately.

680
00:31:40,493 --> 00:31:42,143
Yes, Your Majesty.

681
00:31:46,903 --> 00:31:48,813
Mr. Cui, I'm afraid you have to

682
00:31:49,143 --> 00:31:49,943
report to His Majesty

683
00:31:50,383 --> 00:31:52,943
that Her Highness doesn't intend

684
00:31:53,143 --> 00:31:54,093
to let me see him.

685
00:31:54,573 --> 00:31:55,293
Why would Her Highness put her nephew

686
00:31:56,383 --> 00:31:58,493
on the spot?

687
00:31:59,383 --> 00:32:00,013
Let's go.

688
00:32:00,573 --> 00:32:01,623
Not Nanny Xu.

689
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:03,863
I've already dropped my charges.

690
00:32:04,183 --> 00:32:06,013
You're getting ahead of yourself.

691
00:32:06,013 --> 00:32:07,533
Nanny Xu already confessed

692
00:32:08,223 --> 00:32:09,863
that she poisoned my mother to death.

693
00:32:10,183 --> 00:32:11,733
If you leave with Her Highness now,

694
00:32:12,093 --> 00:32:13,423
she'll only silence you.

695
00:32:13,703 --> 00:32:14,293
Wait.

696
00:32:16,223 --> 00:32:16,903
What poison?

697
00:32:17,773 --> 00:32:18,863
Who harmed your mother?

698
00:32:19,223 --> 00:32:21,093
Didn't Su Ke pass away
due to an illness?

699
00:32:21,293 --> 00:32:23,093
Her Highness
was jealous of her back then.

700
00:32:23,903 --> 00:32:25,183
She instructed Nanny Xu
to poison my mother to death

701
00:32:25,293 --> 00:32:26,533
using a mysterious poison.

702
00:32:30,903 --> 00:32:31,903
Is she telling the truth?

703
00:32:33,223 --> 00:32:34,093
Is she?

704
00:32:34,423 --> 00:32:34,943
Answer me!

705
00:32:35,223 --> 00:32:36,663
Nanny Xu, tell us the truth.

706
00:32:37,013 --> 00:32:38,463
Both Prince Yan and Mr. Cui are here.

707
00:32:38,533 --> 00:32:39,143
The Princess Royal can't

708
00:32:39,223 --> 00:32:40,663
just do whatever she wants in Zhou.

709
00:32:40,813 --> 00:32:44,093
Your Highness, I deserve to die!

710
00:32:44,493 --> 00:32:45,663
I don't know

711
00:32:45,663 --> 00:32:46,773
what they had fed me.

712
00:32:46,943 --> 00:32:48,863
I lost my senses momentarily.

713
00:32:49,053 --> 00:32:49,703
Mr. Cui,

714
00:32:49,703 --> 00:32:51,573
you mustn't trust them!

715
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:52,773
If so,

716
00:32:52,773 --> 00:32:54,013
it'll make you grow distant

717
00:32:54,183 --> 00:32:56,423
from Her Highness!

718
00:32:56,533 --> 00:32:58,143
You're devious and cunning indeed.

719
00:32:58,773 --> 00:33:00,703
You heard what Nanny Xu said.

720
00:33:01,943 --> 00:33:04,013
Do you trust my maid?

721
00:33:04,663 --> 00:33:06,143
Or do you trust her daughter?

722
00:33:11,623 --> 00:33:12,293
Let's go.

723
00:33:21,813 --> 00:33:22,573
Miss Jiang,

724
00:33:23,253 --> 00:33:24,773
how exactly did

725
00:33:25,293 --> 00:33:26,223
your mother die?

726
00:33:33,573 --> 00:33:34,093
Mr. Cui!

727
00:33:34,493 --> 00:33:35,093
Mr. Cui!

728
00:33:35,333 --> 00:33:36,183
Mr. Cui! No!

729
00:33:57,663 --> 00:33:58,183
Stop!

730
00:34:15,823 --> 00:34:16,903
It's been so long

731
00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:20,783
since we sat down
and had a proper meal together.

732
00:34:23,573 --> 00:34:26,383
Mr. Cui, you were busy
with military affairs.

733
00:34:26,742 --> 00:34:29,343
You had to travel to various camps.

734
00:34:30,343 --> 00:34:32,573
You were too busy to visit me

735
00:34:32,653 --> 00:34:33,783
and have a meal with me.

736
00:34:35,133 --> 00:34:35,693
Rong Yang,

737
00:34:38,693 --> 00:34:39,742
why do you have to speak

738
00:34:41,492 --> 00:34:43,012
with a sarcastic tone?

739
00:34:43,693 --> 00:34:45,903
I'm the Princess Royal of Zhou.

740
00:34:46,693 --> 00:34:47,783
All men in the world

741
00:34:48,053 --> 00:34:49,903
except for my brother have to kneel

742
00:34:50,093 --> 00:34:51,343
when they speak to me.

743
00:34:52,303 --> 00:34:53,093
Remember this.

744
00:34:53,653 --> 00:34:54,613
It's impossible for me

745
00:34:54,653 --> 00:34:56,573
to act
like that lowly merchant's daughter.

746
00:34:57,053 --> 00:34:58,013
I would never

747
00:34:58,133 --> 00:34:59,943
try to please you with my words.

748
00:35:06,743 --> 00:35:08,093
It's been years

749
00:35:08,133 --> 00:35:09,693
since Su Ke's passing.

750
00:35:12,383 --> 00:35:14,493
Even so, you still
insult her and call her

751
00:35:14,533 --> 00:35:15,303
a lowly wretch.

752
00:35:16,493 --> 00:35:17,303
Listen up.

753
00:35:19,173 --> 00:35:20,463
In my heart,

754
00:35:22,013 --> 00:35:23,263
she was

755
00:35:23,783 --> 00:35:24,533
the best

756
00:35:25,983 --> 00:35:27,493
and noblest woman in the world.

757
00:35:32,983 --> 00:35:34,053
That's why I killed her.

758
00:35:35,493 --> 00:35:36,613
This way, she'll never grow old

759
00:35:36,863 --> 00:35:37,823
or change.

760
00:35:38,943 --> 00:35:40,863
She can live in your heart forever

761
00:35:41,053 --> 00:35:42,213
as the noblest and prettiest lady
in the world.

762
00:35:45,263 --> 00:35:46,653
You loved Su Ke,

763
00:35:47,653 --> 00:35:49,423
yet she died because of you.

764
00:35:51,213 --> 00:35:52,903
If you wish to seek revenge,

765
00:35:53,383 --> 00:35:55,093
you shouldn't just seek me out.

766
00:35:55,423 --> 00:35:56,343
In the end,

767
00:35:57,463 --> 00:35:58,943
it's all your fault.

768
00:36:00,493 --> 00:36:01,173
Enough!

769
00:36:02,343 --> 00:36:03,903
I was already married to you!

770
00:36:04,343 --> 00:36:05,533
Why couldn't you let her off?

771
00:36:05,533 --> 00:36:06,423
Why?

772
00:36:07,053 --> 00:36:08,783
She was the one
who didn't give up on you!

773
00:36:09,693 --> 00:36:11,133
She was already married.

774
00:36:11,983 --> 00:36:13,093
Why did she meet up with you in private

775
00:36:13,133 --> 00:36:14,423
at Qingyin Temple?

776
00:36:14,783 --> 00:36:15,383
Your Highness,

777
00:36:15,943 --> 00:36:18,423
Mr. Cui left the city
on horseback this morning.

778
00:36:19,053 --> 00:36:20,493
He was headed toward Qingyin Temple.

779
00:36:20,983 --> 00:36:22,693
He doesn't believe in deities or Buddha.

780
00:36:22,983 --> 00:36:23,943
What is he doing there?

781
00:36:24,213 --> 00:36:25,743
Our men who were keeping an eye
on the Count of Dongping's Mansion

782
00:36:25,743 --> 00:36:26,613
had a message for us.

783
00:36:27,013 --> 00:36:29,343
They said Su Ke went there

784
00:36:29,653 --> 00:36:30,693
in a carriage.

785
00:36:31,133 --> 00:36:31,613
What?

786
00:36:42,783 --> 00:36:43,533
Your Highness,

787
00:36:44,423 --> 00:36:46,173
should we head inside?

788
00:36:48,493 --> 00:36:50,263
Let's return to the palace.

789
00:36:50,943 --> 00:36:53,863
How many times have I told you?

790
00:36:54,863 --> 00:36:56,133
That day, I visited Qingyin Temple

791
00:36:56,133 --> 00:36:57,653
alone!

792
00:36:58,693 --> 00:37:01,303
There was nothing between Su Ke and I!

793
00:37:01,533 --> 00:37:04,263
We never met again
after getting married!

794
00:37:04,463 --> 00:37:05,423
I don't believe you!

795
00:37:06,493 --> 00:37:07,983
She didn't sever her ties with you.

796
00:37:08,783 --> 00:37:10,303
You two deserve it!

797
00:37:10,463 --> 00:37:11,263
Rong Yang!

798
00:37:13,263 --> 00:37:14,743
You never believed me.

799
00:37:16,383 --> 00:37:17,983
Never!

800
00:37:45,423 --> 00:37:47,943
I went to Qingyin Temple that day

801
00:37:48,573 --> 00:37:50,653
to put an end to my past.

802
00:38:19,983 --> 00:38:20,863
Do you truly...

803
00:38:22,533 --> 00:38:23,053
Do you truly think

804
00:38:23,053 --> 00:38:24,343
that Su Ke was the reason

805
00:38:26,133 --> 00:38:26,783
our marriage

806
00:38:26,783 --> 00:38:27,743
ended up like this?

807
00:38:34,343 --> 00:38:35,383
Isn't that so?

808
00:38:43,263 --> 00:38:44,423
You think so, huh?

809
00:38:47,783 --> 00:38:48,263
Never mind.

810
00:38:51,383 --> 00:38:51,983
Forget it.

811
00:38:55,013 --> 00:38:55,653
Come on.

812
00:38:56,423 --> 00:38:58,213
Sit down. Let's have a drink.

813
00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:03,983
Take a seat!

814
00:39:18,343 --> 00:39:19,573
Once we finish the drink,

815
00:39:20,613 --> 00:39:22,303
we should let

816
00:39:23,133 --> 00:39:24,653
bygones be bygones.

817
00:39:42,783 --> 00:39:44,173
Do you intend to divorce me?

818
00:39:45,743 --> 00:39:47,343
Do you know how old we are now?

819
00:39:48,783 --> 00:39:50,303
What's the point

820
00:39:50,383 --> 00:39:51,303
of getting a divorce?

821
00:39:54,013 --> 00:39:55,013
Once we finish this drink,

822
00:39:56,743 --> 00:40:00,013
our ties as husband and wife shall end.

823
00:40:02,093 --> 00:40:05,013
From now on,
we shall go our separate ways.

824
00:40:07,213 --> 00:40:07,983
Rong Yang,

825
00:40:08,423 --> 00:40:09,743
cease this torment upon me.

826
00:40:12,573 --> 00:40:16,213
And spare yourself the suffering too.

827
00:40:39,863 --> 00:40:40,903
I told you before.

828
00:40:43,573 --> 00:40:44,463
I, Rong Yang,

829
00:40:45,863 --> 00:40:47,013
will never lower myself

830
00:40:47,693 --> 00:40:49,383
to seek a man's favor.

831
00:40:51,943 --> 00:40:53,053
All these years,

832
00:40:54,613 --> 00:40:56,653
you could come and go as you wish.

833
00:40:57,213 --> 00:40:58,533
Since when have I stopped you?

834
00:41:01,343 --> 00:41:02,343
Since that's the case,

835
00:41:04,693 --> 00:41:05,533
once we finish this drink,

836
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:11,303
our ties shall be severed.

837
00:41:11,743 --> 00:41:12,493
Don't drink it!

838
00:41:18,053 --> 00:41:19,983
Father, Mother.

839
00:41:22,573 --> 00:41:23,493
Were you trying to kill me?

840
00:41:37,493 --> 00:41:38,493
So you tried to kill me.

841
00:41:40,653 --> 00:41:42,093
You intend to take your life as well.

842
00:41:42,783 --> 00:41:44,533
You were going to take both of our lives

843
00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:46,613
to make up for that wretch's death, huh?

844
00:41:50,133 --> 00:41:51,013
Mingyue,

845
00:41:52,463 --> 00:41:54,133
from today onward,

846
00:41:56,133 --> 00:41:57,303
you have no father.

847
00:41:58,263 --> 00:41:59,903
Mother, Father was...

848
00:41:59,903 --> 00:42:00,533
Shut up!

849
00:42:03,693 --> 00:42:04,743
If you want to call him Father,

850
00:42:05,783 --> 00:42:07,343
do not call me Mother again.

851
00:42:08,573 --> 00:42:09,383
But Mother...

852
00:42:15,343 --> 00:42:15,863
Father!

853
00:42:17,213 --> 00:42:17,903
Someone!

854
00:42:19,613 --> 00:42:20,053
Your Highness.

855
00:42:20,783 --> 00:42:22,173
From today onward,

856
00:42:23,693 --> 00:42:24,493
Cui Xu

857
00:42:24,983 --> 00:42:27,173
is not allowed to step foot
into this mansion.

858
00:42:27,823 --> 00:42:29,533
Mr. Cui, please.
