Episode 31

15

You asked for me?

16

-What's wrong?

-What does Lin Waner mean to you?

17

Wife to marry.

18

You want to marry her because of the Inside Treasury

or herself?

19

Even she is a servant

20

I will marry her for sure.

21

You did catch feelings for her.

22

It's the middle of the night.

Are we having a late-night talk show?

23

Princess Royal is kneeling outside of the King's study room

for a while.

24

How do you know what's happening in the Palace?

25

It doesn't matter.

26

What are you supposed to do is the only thing matters.

27

Go stab her?

28

Since you have won,

29

why don't you be generous and plead for her?

30

Plead for her?

31

We shall all step back.

32

Don't go all the way down.

33

Don't push so hard.

34

Li Yunrui is evil.

35

But she has a lot of followers.

36

You will work in the council.

37

You must learn to make friends.

38

She is trying to kill me.

39

Fan Xian,

40

have you ever thought about Lin Waner's feelings?

41

Don't forget that Li Yunrui is her mo after all.

42

You beat her in this round,

43

and then what?

44

What would Lin Waner think

if you go all the way down?

45

If you plan to be together,

46

will this distance you two?

47

Fan Xian, if you truly like her,

48

why can't you go one step back for her?

49

Please allow me to think about it.

50

Tonight is your only chance to plead.

51

Auntie, everybody said you were on my side.

52

I am.

53

Then why I had no idea about

54

Zhu Ge and Zhuang Mohan?

55

If you knew,

56

there will be two of us kneeling here now.

57

What's the difference now?

58

I beg to see your Majesty.

59

Crown Prince,

60

it's not good for you to kneel with me.

61

Crown Prince, his Majesty wants to see you.

62

Auntie is fragile. Please spear her.

63

No one dares to plead for her other than you.

64

Do you know why?

65

They are afraid to get involved.

66

You are not afraid?

67

I couldn't bear.

68

Every soft prince has a bad ending.

69

Your Majesty, please forgive her!

70

Let's wait.

71

-What are we waiting for?

-To see if anyone else is pleading for her.

72

At the point,

73

no one dares to come.

74

Maybe.

75

Your Majesty, Lord Fan Xian asks to see you.

76

Summon him.

77

I didn't expect

78

for you to come.

79

Are you here to plead?

80

I almost forgot Waner's feelings if I wasn't reminded.

81

They are mother and daughter after all.

82

So...

83

To be honest, I was confused earlier.

84

So I went to a place to sit down

85

and cleared my thoughts.

86

I rushed to here. Thank god it's not too late.

87

You are pleading for her?

88

I beg you to not let this go!

89

You must punish Li Yunrui!

90

Get up.

91

You don't like to kneel.

92

I will be disappointed if you pleaded for her.

93

The man who is in charge of the Inspection and Control Bureau

and the Inside Treasury

94

must sort his priorities right.

95

I didn't think that far.

96

I want to know

97

how did you change your mind?

98

I told you,

99

I found a place to sit down and cleared my thoughts.

100

Where?

101

The Grave of Teng Zijing.

102

I am leaving now. Thank you for helping me.

103

No need. Someone wants to kill you by the hand of

the Inspection and Control Bureau.

104

-Who?

-I am still working on it.

105

I will find out once I get there.

106

The people behind the assassination is very powerful.

107

It's only a start if you stay.

108

The future could only be more dangerous.

109

If that's true, how could I leave you alone in Jingdu

110

to face all the dangers?

111

I stay because I want to.

112

Even I have to fight and get hurt,

113

I will never regret it.

114

I would step back for Waner

115

if Li Yunrui only came after me.

116

Since it's difficult to meet the right one.

117

But I can't.

118

She killed Teng Zijing.

119

Who am I to forgive Li Yunrui?

120

How selfish would I be if I plead for her?

121

Just for a guard?

122

For human life.

123

You are not mature enough.

124

Can't forget what's right and worng.

125

I am afraid no one will come to plead for her.

126

Tell her to go.

127

Thank your Majesty.

128

Tell her to go far away.

129

To where, your Majesty?

130

She has been living in Jingdu for so many years.

131

Xinyang is her granted city, she can go back to there.

132

Your Majesty!

133

He told you to leave Jingdu.

134

And go to Xinyang.

135

Did Fan Xian plead for me?

136

He came to stab your back.

137

Good. I thought he came to plead for me.

138

I was so worried.

139

Too much stuff I need to pack.

140

Auntie.

141

I may can ask his Majesty again.

142

You can never persuade a King's mind.

143

She is Princess Royal after all.

144

I can't send her to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

145

It's the biggest punishment to send her back to Xinyang.

146

She doesn't deserve to die.

147

You shall go back.

148

She doesn't want to see you.

149

-Then I will wait.

-She won't see you.

150

She won't leave.

151

Maybe let her in?

152

She will definitely be sick if she stands outside all night.

153

She will leave if she can't take it.

154

She is fragile.

155

But she has the same temper as you.

156

She won't leave if she says so.

157

Come on in.

158

There's tea over there. Have some and get warm.

159

The servants are leaving.

160

They are trying

161

to get a new master so that

they can stay in Jingdu.

162

-It will be hard.

-At least it's better than staying with me.

163

It's cold though.

164

There's no more kind people in the palace.

165

This is wrong.

166

I shouldn't see you now.

167

Since I let you in,

168

I have something to tell you.

169

You would come to see me

170

now I have lost.

171

It's not good for you.

172

We are mother and daughter

173

after all.

174

After tonight, I am a stranger to you.

175

Don't see me off tomorrow.

176

Did you betray Qing?

177

Does it matter now?

178

If you were innocent, I will plead for you to the King.

179

Didn't you hear

180

a word I just said?

181

So,

182

did you do it?

183

Yes.

184

What else do you want to know?

185

Did you tried to kill Fan Xian?

186

Yes.

187

You knew he is my future husband.

188

What?

189

Trying to accuse me before I leave?

190

Since I was born, you rarely came to visit me.

191

I thought you had your own problems.

192

It would get better when I grow up.

193

And then I was sent out of the palace and ill.

194

You have never visited me once.

195

When I was in my worst condition

196

I wondered would you visit me before I die?

197

Do I matter to you at all?

198

You sabotaged Fan Xian for your goals.

199

Because you have never and will never

200

care about my feelings.

201

Why would I care?

202

Happy, misery, lonely and sad.

203

Who doesn't feel that way?

204

You can only feel it if you are alive.

205

Lin Waner, I just want you to be alive.

206

I don't care about the rest.

207

You think what I did was only

208

colluding with Qi and betraying Qing?

209

Why didn't I visit you?

Why did I avoid you?

210

Because this is the only way for you to be safe

211

when things so south!

212

So you can live well

213

even I am being tortured.

214

What else did you do?

215

Don't ask.

216

You don't need to know.

217

From now on, you can live your own life,

218

just treat me as a monster and avoid me.

219

What about Fan Xian?

220

I told you I like him.

221

Did you try to kill him because of me?

222

I wouldn't have tried to kill him

223

if you don't like him?

224

Why is that?

225

Being a woman, we must rely on ourselves,

226

but we also must choose the right man.

227

It's very important to the rest of your life.

228

I have chosen him.

229

A man like Fan Xian will not end up well!

230

Why?

231

Why did his Majesty summon him to JIngdu?

232

Taking over the Inside Treasury?

233

What else?

234

Fan Xian is getting closed to the Inspection and Control Bureau.

235

Who can't tell?

236

Yes. People are saying that he is young and successful.

237

And he has a bright future.

238

Have you ever thought about that

under the fight of two princes

239

the Indside Treasury and the Inspection and Control Bureau

240

the Indside Treasury and the Inspection and Control Bureau.

241

Now Fan Xian takes it over.

242

He will be the enemy of them all.

243

There are monsters in the council.

244

And he is the bite.

245

How successful he is now,

how miserable he will be in the future.

246

What would happen to him

247

when all the monsters are going after him?

248

If it's the marriage agreement, I will help you to cancel it.

249

But you told me that you have him in your heart. What can I do?

250

If I don't kill him, I will be sending you to the road of ruins.

251

Your illness is considered to have improved.

252

After I leave,

253

find an excuse

254

to sever your relationship with Fan Xian.

255

I will think of a solution

256

to help you to cancel the marriage agreement.

257

He's in my heart.

258

Forget him then.

259

He's in your heart . Are you going to accompany to the dead end?

260

Do you know what's my favorite food?

261

What do I love to eat the most?

262

Do you know what I like best?

263

I only know that by surviving, you would then have the rights to talk about love.

264

I love chicken drumsticks. You are not aware but Fan Xian knows.

265

The first time when he met me, I was secretly eating a chicken drumstick over there.

266

What I like the best in my heart, it's the starry sky.

267

Because I grew up alone, the starry sky

268

is the most beautiful scenery to me.

269

You are not aware. Fan Xian is aware.

270

I have already handed over my heart entirely to him.

271

He knows. I will never be alone again.

272

What I like best in my heart, it's already him.

273

If he wants to take the path to the dead end, I want to be with him.

274

Life is long.

275

There will even be more good things in the future.

276

Someone even better is waiting for you.

277

If I can find someone whom I can entrust my life to,

278

whether life is short or long, it will be meaningful.

279

But if you die, what's there to talk about being meaningful.

280

Didn't you just say that keeping your distance from me,

281

will prevent me from being implicated?

282

Why didn't you think about

283

not doing such dangerous stuff for my sake?

284

You chose your path.

285

I chose mine too.

286

You also just said that choosing a right man is the way of living.

287

The man whom you chose to rely on, it's probably not Father, right?

288

Who is he? Who is that person you are investing so much in?

289

One last advice.

290

Don't see me off when I leave the capital tomorrow.

291

This temperament,

292

you are really my daughter.

293

Jingdu

294

Jingdu

295

Be careful on the trip. I will visit you when I have the time.

296

If you leave Jingdu, Second Prince will definitely create troubles.

297

I won't see you off anymore.

298

Go back.

299

Greetings, Your Highness.

300

She has already left. Is there still a need to continue to persecute?

301

Your Highness, I'm merely seeing her off on behalf of Wan'er.

302

I don't know anything about what Aunt does.

303

Of course.

304

Let him come over here.

305

Greetings on behalf of Wan'er,

306

and respectfully see you off.

307

Fortunately, you didn't plead for me last night.

308

It seems like you didn't want me to do that.

309

Of course. If you did that, I won't be able to repay you.

310

It's good now. I can spend time to think

311

of preparing tactics to give you a surprise.

312

Don't waste your efforts. I'm already very happy.

313

- Really?

- Yes.

314

I personally told you to leave Jingdu.

315

Now that it has come true, I can't stop myself from being happy.

316

My spirit of mind is clear and bright too.

317

I won't hide this from you. I ate half a bowl of breakfast today.

318

That's a good thing.

319

Eat well, take care of your health and wait for my return.

320

If you want to return to Jingdu, it will not be possible.

321

Jingdu is where my heart lies.

322

Letting Your Highness leave Jingdu is where my heart lies too.

323

Your Highness, please be on your way.

324

By the way, Fan Xian, I left a present for you.

325

Let's go.

326

Perhaps, Teng Ziping is watching this now.

327

Definitely.

328

A pity that person was only kicked out. A life was still spared.

329

Lord, watch what you say.

330

I wasn't talking about her.

331

I just heard the Grand Princess said she left a present for you. You must be careful.

332

Let's go.

333

Lord!

334

Young Master Guo, have you had breakfast?

335

I will never let you off!

336

Let's go.

337

Lord, are we not reporting him?

338

Forget it.

339

Is this Guo Baokun the strategy she left behind?

340

Li Yunrui's strategy won't be that simple.

341

Wait here.

342

Why are you here?

343

She's my mother after all.

344

Sorry.

345

She wants to harm you. You are only protecting yourself. I understand.

346

At this juncture, you are still willing to come out to see her off.

347

I should be thanking you instead.

348

She said, the path you are taking,

349

it will became the target of public criticism.

350

It's a dead end. It's the path of death.

351

What I want to say is,

352

the path that you have chosen,

353

it's fine if you like it. I will be with you.

354

Imperial Study

355

If you are here today to participate in the disclosure of information by Fan Xian,

356

and Yan Bingyun being caught,

357

there's no need to see the Emperor. Just hand over your memorials to me.

358

Uncle.

359

Mister Yan.

360

Take a seat.

361

Mister Yan, the situation is bad for this game of chess.

362

This is bad. This move is bad.

363

- This wrong move can even be retracted?

- For this round today,

364

Prime Minister has already done it several times.

365

How can it be played like this?

366

Playing chest is like fighting a war.

367

You are still young.

368

You must learn from it.

369

Dare I ask you, can Mister Yan retract his wrong move too?

370

Of course not.

371

I am impressed.

372

I'm also using this chess game to give you a few pointers.

373

Is there any fairness in life?

374

Sometimes, you naturally need to come out with tactics

375

so that you could win.

376

So, you are using this chess game to show Xian Fan a few pointers?

377

I don't understand. What's with the retracting of wrong moves?

378

I called you here to tell you something.

379

Li Yunrui failed and left the capital. Logically speaking,

380

we should prepare your marriage with Wan'er.

381

There is a change in the marriage?

382

It has nothing to do with the marriage. A few days again, in the Imperial Study,

383

Several officials appealed

384

about you leaking the information

and causing Yan Bingyun to get caught.

385

They want to conduct a thorough investigation and hold the person accountable.

386

But it was Grand Princess who disclosed this information.

387

Li Yunrui only admitted to colluding with Zhu Ge

388

But she didn't admit selling out Yan Bingyun.

389

This is the strategy of Grand Princess.

390

What did His Majesty say?

391

He didn't say anything.

392

He just watched them went crazy.

393

Uncle, I didn't do anything. I'm being falsely accused.

394

The truth is not important.

395

What's important then?

396

Your attitude is important.

397

I don't understand.

398

I can still understand the current Emperor.

399

If my guess is right, he will look for you soon.

400

Why would he look for me? For what?

401

No matter what he wants you to do, don't agree.

402

He's the Emperor. How could I refuse?

403

He didn't say anything in the council.

He will talk to you in private.

404

Fan Xian, about your marriage with Wan'er,

405

the preparations are being done. Once you are married,

406

I will transfer you immediately to the Ministry of Official Personal Affairs.

407

You mustn't cause any more trouble at this point.

408

If there are no clear decrees, don't agree to anything.

409

If there are any problems, dump them on me.

410

Is this a possibility?

411

We are not master and slave.

412

Just like two people playing chess.

413

You can lose in chess

414

but you should still fight for what you want.

415

You didn't do anything wrong this time.

416

With the addition of your reputation as the Divine Poet,

417

even if he's the Emperor, he won't be able to pressurize you in court.

418

How would you know he will summon me

to prove my innocence in private?

419

Our Emperor

420

loves watching people fight.

421

You are still immature to him.

422

Now is the best opportunity.

423

Prime Minister, the palace sent a decree. His Highness wants to see Master Fan at the palace.

424

See?

425

Go. Remember what I said.

426

No matter what he wants you to do, as long as there's no decree issued,

427

don't agree to anything.

428

I will try.

429

I got lucky. Mr.Yuan.

430

I won again.

431

There's still a leeway.

432

I saw wrongly.

433

This shouldn't be a problem now.

434

I am impressed.

435

Crown Prince, Second Prince.

436

This is...

437

Lord Fan, please take a seat.

438

Sit over here.

439

What's this about?

440

I don't know either.

441

He invited us here. He didn't say why.

442

I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster.

443

No one can predict the King's mind.

444

No one shall predict the King's mind.

445

Crown Prince is so righteous.

446

I am very impressed.

447

Please don't drag me into your drama.

448

It's still Fan Xian, the poet, who dares to say anything.

449

Your Majesty, everyone is here. Please have your meal.

450

This is just a family meal. Help yourselves.

451

Your Majesty, since this is a family meal, it's not appropriate for me to be here.

452

You are thick-skinned. It's fine.

453

Let's eat.
