Episode 7

This is preposterous!

Zhen'er has already been promised to the Emperor.

How can she marry the Crown Prince of Chen?

If we refuse Chen's wish, if they invade again -

The five thousand troops from Chen were completely annihilated just then.

But now they come asking to be united in marriage?

Su Heng, this move is so sly.

He's definitely unscrupulous and up to no good.

Tell them that the princess has already been promised to the Son of Heaven.

How can she be married to someone else? That is a clear conflict.

If they want her, they will have to take her from the Son of Heaven!

Yes!

How is Zhen'er doing?

There is no news about the princess right now.

Zhen'er is together with the Son of Heaven right now.

At least,

he has a group of Blood Shadow Guards next to him.

Not even 100 people can get near him.

It's just...with the natural disaster that happened a few days ago, we don't know if the princess...

Zhen'er will definitely be alive.

Your Majesty!

What is it?

The Kingdom of Chen has sent soldiers to escort the princess back to the palace!

Also, General Song Ning has also been found!

They are on their way back!

Your Majesty, your predictions are spot on.

The Kingdom of Chen escorted Zhen'er back?

The Kingdom of Chen?

The Kingdom of Chen asked for us to unite in marriage.

Did the king agree to it?

I don't know yet.

If we can really resolve the conflict with Kingdom of Chen,

then that really is...

Ah Ning, you suddenly disappeared this time.

I've never been able to properly ask you, are you hiding something from me?

Big Brother, I don't want to talk about that right now.

-Ah Ning!-Ah Ning!

Princess?

Ning'er!

What's wrong with you? You're not happy?

Silly girl.

You understand what people are worried about now?

In the past, I didn't understand. But now...I can!

Our princess has grown up!

You are also at the age to be married.

That's right. I heard that the Kingdom of Chen asked for marriage.

Really?

So fast!

I thought you wouldn't be happy.

Why does it look like you're so pleased?

Indeed, a grown girl cannot be kept at home. (Note: It means that the girl is ready for marriage.)

Ning'er.

Ning'er!

I...have someone I like.

Is he of the Kingdom of Chen?

Could it be the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Chen?

Well, it's said that General Song is brusque yet meticulous.

Looks like nothing can get past your big eyes!

He's the Sir Mu Yan that you talk about.

Originally, I thought we had no hope!

But the Heavens really love me!

Thank you!

That's great.

People in love can be together. That's great.

Ning'er, what's up with you?

I hope that the Heavens can watch over me too!

The Heavens will definitely watch over you!

Miss, as the saying goes, no words can express my gratitude.

During this time, with all your care for me, I don't know what I should say.

You know that my name is Shen An. I was originally a general of the Kingdom of Chen.

But now...

You have already agreed to marry me. I still don't know what your name is.

Can you tell me your name?

Liu Qiqi.

I will always remember this name.

You've finally come back!

Let me see if you've gotten fatter or skinnier!

Princess, with a blink of an eye, you are to be married!

You are going to enter the bridal palanquin soon!

Bridal palanquin? You're saying that Father agreed to it?

He agreed to the marriage offer?

Even the wedding clothes are ready.

Thank you, Fat Granny!

Princess, where are you going?

You finally know to come back?

I know I was wrong. I made you worry.

You still dare to say it?

What day is there that I don't have to worry about you?

Do you know how many people I sent to look for you?

If anything happens to you, what am I supposed to do?

Yes yes yes, it's all my fault.

Haven't I come over by myself to be yelled at?

Quit it.

Father! No matter how you yell at me today, I won't talk back!

As long as you get happier, okay?

That's more like it.

Daughter, you know.

As long as you come back safely,

it's better than anything.

I just knew that you wouldn't want to yell at me.

You love me best, right?

It's precisely because I usually love you too much!

- That's why you became so unruly!- Don't hit me, Father!

I will listen to you from now on, alright?

Look at you. You don't look like a princess at all!

Do you look like a king then?

Nonsense.

Zhen'er, you are an adult now.

I can't look after you forever.

You've grown up. You will leave Quexia Palace and the Kingdom of Wei someday.

Remember, stop being so willful.

I will not leave you.

I want to stay with you for my whole life.

You won't leave me? For what?

You won't marry anyone then?

So many suitors have came to ask for the hand of the princess of the Kingdom of Wei.

If I keep you here, I'm afraid they won't agree.

Who would I marry?

Still pretending.

If not for him, why would you have left the palace?

You know about that?

I know everything.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

What are you so scared of? That I will scold you?

Since you were young, I have always listened to your wishes.

If he came to ask for marriage then...

Everyone in the palace have already started the preparations.

My daughter's wedding must definitely be a grand affair.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Wei and the Son of Heaven is uniting in marriage.

It is a great event in the Nine Lands.

Wait! What did you say, Father?

You want me to marry the Son of Heaven?

Didn't you escape the palace with the Son of Heaven?

If you two were not fond of each other, why would you leave the palace with him?

You're saying that the gardener is the Son of Heaven?

No wonder...

But I don't want to marry him, Father!

What did you say?

The person I want to marry is Su Yu, the Crown Prince of Chen!

Say that again.

I have someone I like. I won't marry the Son of Heaven!

Preposterous!

The Kingdom of Chen is unscrupulous!

They harmed our people and invaded our lands!

As a princess, if you won't spare a thought for our kingdom,

you must at least consider the dignity of the royal family

and my reputation.

To say something like that, you have no sense of shame!

Father, did you think I didn't understand those principles?

After I left the palace, I saw how the soldiers of Chen invaded our lands and killed our people。

I hate the Kingdom of Chen too!

I hate those people who started the war!

I've once thought of giving up my love for him.

But on the day of the earthquake, I was almost buried alive.

Su Yu was the one who risked his life to save me!

He almost lost his life!

Father, if you have loved someone before,

if your loved one is willing to sacrifice his life for you,

how would you be able to give up this love?

Moreover, the Kingdom of Chen has agreed to a truce with this marriage.

I know you are unwilling, but if the two kingdoms can resolve this conflict,

why would you want to dwell on past resentments?

I swear, as long as I am alive, I will strive for the well-being of the people.

I hope you can let go of your resentments.

Strive for the well-being of the people?

Since you put it that way, if I don't agree,

I will be turning a blind eye to the sufferings of our people.

No, I don't mean that!

Say no more!

I will never agree to this marriage!

You have been promised to the Son of Heaven. The wedding will be held in no time!

Daughter, do think about it.

As the wife to the Son of Heaven,

other than benefiting our country,

it is also a position of utmost glory.

For the country and for you,

this is a good deal.

I won't agree!

Stubborn girl!

I've cared for you for so many years.

And now,

how dare you speak to me like that?

My love for you have been misplaced.

From today onwards,

I will lock you up for every single day you refuse to change your mind.

If you refuse to change your mind for your whole life, I will lock you up for your whole life!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Please go and visit the princess!

She didn't drink or eat for days!

If this continues, something might happen!

If the princess wants to starve, then leave her be.

Listen up.

From today onwards, no one is to send food to her.

If she dies, I will bury her myself.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

You can't do that, Your Majesty!

I watched the princess grow up!

I understand her character well!

Don't just see how she usually acts without principles. If she wants to do something, even ten oxen won't be able to pull her back!

Your Majesty, you are forcing her

onto the path of death!

I'll look on the fact that you are an old resident of the palace and that you were the one who raised the princess,

so I won't declare you guilty this time.

If you do this again, I won't let you go.

- Your Highness. - Get lost!

Your Highness. Do you need to force the princess in this manner?

Your Highness. You have always doted on the princess.

If you dote on her, you shouldn't force her.

Now I understand why the princess bacame like this. It's because of a rude servant like you!

Come! Drag this person out and kill her immediately.

Your Highness, I'm begging you.

Let the princess go.

Your Highness.

I'm here to visit you, Emperor Father.

Wei kingdom has sent their reply.

Just as I expected,

Ye Yuan Xuan has rejected our marriage proposal.

-I'm going there personally.-No.

The Wei kingdom has rejected our marriage proposal.

If this leaks out, we will be the laughing stock.

Forget about his.

And if I will only marry her?

Is that true?

Yes.

Do you realize what the consequences are?

I am willing to take up all responsibility.

Okay. Then I will send a letter to ask the Son of Heaven to arrange the marriage.

I want to see what his choice will be.

Princess, Princess, this is terrible! The king wants to kill Granny Pang!

Your Majesty, she was the one who raised the princess!

Can you not look on that she is loyal?

Loyal? Based on loyalty,

disobedience results in a beating.

Stop!

Stop!

I'm telling you to stop.

Stop!

Granny Pang! Are you okay?

Princess.

Father! What did she do wrong?

If it is because she begged on my behalf that you are so angry, then I am the one who deserves to die!

Princess. His Highness is very angry now. Don't make it worse.

Princess, don't worry about me

Haven't you done all this just to make me understand that you won't change your decision?

But my heart has already been decided.

No matter what you say or do, I won't give in.

Let go of Granny Pang and let me go die.

You know that I love you very much. I can't bear to beat you.

You are using this to threaten me.

Okay. Come! Punish her!

Your Highness, don't.

Father, I've been mischievous since childhood, always making you angry.

This time around, I've hurt your heart even more.

but Father, do you know?

I don't want to force myself

to willingly live with someone who I don't love.

I'm willing to take the punishment.

If in the future,

I will no longer be able to serve you anymore,

I will still beg for your forgiveness.

Zhen'er, you dare to decide to work against me.

Do I still have any use for you?

Men!

Your Highness.

Don't, Princess!

Princess!

Your Highness.

Your Highness, let the Princess off.

I'm asking you. Are you willing to marry the Son of Heaven?

I won't marry him.

The Son of Heaven has arrived!

Our greetings to The Son of Heaven.

Did you need to do this?

Fortunately, I came just in time.

If not, there will be another rumour that I caused the death of a princess whom I didn't succeed to make her marry me.

Son of Heaven, please don't be angry.

This "Son of Heaven" name of mine is just a decoration.

I should thank you for giving me face

for letting an unwilling Princess to marry me.

Wouldn't I be the laughing stock in the Nine Lands?

Of course not.

It's great that it's not.

I may not have that many outstanding achievements

but I still have my principles.

Life is short.

I want to spend the rest of my life with someone who matches me well.

The princess and I are just friends.

If she is not willing to marry me, I'm not willing too.

The two of us are originally unwilling people, so why make things so difficult?

But...

There is no such thing. It's you who got the wrong idea.

If two people in love marry,

that would mean that I have allowed a beautiful story.

Ye Zhen. Listen.

I allow you to marry the Crown Prince of the Chen kingdom.

I can agree to your marriage with him

but you must agree to two of my terms.

First, the Chen and Wei kingdoms will never be at war.

Second, you must both live in the Wei kingdom.

Princess!

Look. These are the terms set up by the Wei kingdom for the marriage.

I have fully agreed.

Prepare to marry the Princess now.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let go of my love

But since I have decided to let go, I must do what I said to do.

Ye Zhen. Everything that I have done for you,

it's a pity that you are not aware of it.

Sir, this is the list of gifts the Ministry of Works is preparing to send to the Kingdom of Wei.

Please read this.

Just do accordingly.

Prince, it's getting late.

Let me help prepare you to sleep.

I would like to read.

Prepare tea for me.

Looks like you are very happy.

What do you think?

I'm also happy for you.

You dare to arrange a marriage on your own, without a care for our royal family, and ruined our big plan?

Aunt, don't talk about this again.

In the past, I didn't care about anything.

This is the only thing that I must make decisions on myself.

This matter has already been decided.

One I give my word, I can't take it back.

Don't be angry, Aunt. I am willing to take any punishment.

You are letting someone else have your woman.

Have you lost your mind?

Watch my nephew carefully. Don't allow him to leave.

Qiqi.

Qiqi, why is your hand so cold?

Come, let me warm it.

I have been living here for six months.

Do you know what I really want to do now?

What I really want to do is to remove my eye bandage.

I would like to take a proper look at you.

Don't be mistaken.

I am not one who desires beautiful things.

Even more beautiful women in this world cannot compare with you.

Qiqi, I want to marry you.

I'm just a mute.

How could I be worthy of you?

No.

You saved my life.

If it weren't for you, I would have died in the battle field.

Between us, there is nothing about whether we are worthy of each other or not.

It's just that

you are not willing to marry me.

The Chen kingdom has withdrawn their troops. His Highness has also ordered us to withdraw our troops by thirty miles,

to show our sincerity towards this marriage.

Okay.

Big Brother, when you went to the Chen kingdom,

did you hear if that missing general Shen An was found?

Shen An?

I heard he is already dead.

Didn't you see for yourself that day that he was burned by the wandering flame?

How could he still be alive?

That's right.

Ah Ning. Why do I keep feeling that you are having some problems?

What is it? Tell me.

I have thought it through.

I know what I want.

Qiqi,

I can finally see you.

General Shen. Someone is looking for you.

Let him in.

Qiqi, you've really decided to leave with General Shen?

Qiqi, you are not my biological daughter,

but I've always treated you as such.

If you have a good husband, then I am happy too.

But you must understand: once you enter a good household, hard things are as deep as the ocean.

They are not like us normal people.

Even though now General Shen is deeply in love with you,

no one knows what the future holds.

I'm not afraid.

So, you have already made up your mind.

It's just that, I wonder what's on General Shen's mind.

This is the woman who sacrificed her life for you? A mute.

I am deeply indebted to Qiqi.

Is it that important whether she can talk or not?

I am very happy that you can live.

I'm very happy too.

Our army was annihilated in the war with Chen. The King is furious.

I think you know the reason

better than I do.

No, I don't.

What I know is that the Crown Prince feared for his life and ran off with his soldiers, without caring for you!

You want me to lie?

I want you to think about the big picture, for the Shen household!

I don't understand.

You won't understand now. You will understand one day.

Father. Since I was young, you have taught me to be loyal.

I've always kept these words in my heart.

But if you want me to lie to His Highness,

to stab my friend in the back and betray them,

isn't this opposite from what you taught me?

Do you still remember what else I taught you?

I've told you before. If you want to never lose, then you cannot let others find your weakness!

This woman is extremely important to your life.

Don't tell me you are going to use her life to threaten me?

I won't but you know that someone would.

Thanking for saving your life, or friendship, I'm sure you know very well which is more important.

Come, be careful.

Here, have some water.

Has the journey been too hard on you?

Qiqi, have you really thought it through well,

about going back to Chen kingdom with me?

Do you know that once you enter the household, there are many things you cannot decide?

I don't want to burden or harm you.

With you here, I'm not afraid of anything.

That's good then.

Everything has been prepared well!

Prepare to set off.

We are preparing to set off. I will help you to get on the carriage.

According to the Heavens and the king,

The Kingdoms of Chen and Wei are to unite in marriage.

The eldest prince Su Yu is to marry the princess Ye Zhen.

This is an extremely important matter. To represent our kingdom's sincerity,

we are to protect the princess's safety.

We are to send 50,000 soldiers to welcome the bride

and come in with you to be married.

Accept the order!

Congratulations, Crown Prince.

I will listen to your order!

Chen kingdom Shen mansion.

Miss Liu. This is where you will be staying in the future.

Take a look around. I wonder if you are satisfied with this.

My name is Rong Min. From now on, I will be your personal maid.

If you need anything, you can find me.

This is red satin, and that is the mink skin captured during autumn.

This is the liquid from a white fox, granted by His Highness.

The general has already said that the weather is turning cold and that we should prepare more clothing for you.

And, these are the cotton-padded jackets I decided to make for you.

It's more comfortable to wear it now. I wonder if you like it.

Come.

These are for you to make up and groom yourself.

In future, you must make yourself beautiful in the Shen mansion.

Okay. Do you need anything else?

Young Master said that he will do or get whatever you want.

Young Master.

Young master

So how is it? Are you happy with the living arrangements here?

You are our guest here.

According to the rules, you need to stay at another courtyard. Don't mind this.

I've just returned to Chen kingdom and have been busy with work. I can't keep you company.

When I'm done with my work, we can prepare for our marriage.

Congratulations, Madam. Congratulations, Sir.

Rong Min, Miss Qiqi is shy.

Before marriage, you should still call her Miss Liu.

Yes

Young Master. Old Master would like to see you in the study.

I still have matters to attend to. I can't stay and keep you company.

If you want to eat anything or need anything, just let Rong Min know.

I'm taking my leave.

Okay, everyone has left.

If there is anything, tell me now.

Don't worry, I will prepare the marriage as soon as possible.

The marriage proposal is a good plan.

The person born on a lunar day can be killed, and the Kingdom of Wei can be destroyed.

Killing two birds with one stone.

My Kingdom of Chen's plan to take everything will go forward another step!

Your Majesty, do you really intend to keep the Crown Prince in the dark?

We can only score a victory if we take them by surprise.

Yu'er is sincere in wanting to marry the Princess of the Wei kingdom.

As for me, I'm determined to bring down the Wei kingdom.

So, this act that is marriage on the surface, but destruction beneath it, must be kept from the Crown Prince.

But what if he finds out?

It will already be too late.

What if the Crown Prince gets angry?

There is nothing perfect in this world.

If he wants the post of the king, he shouldn't care about anything more than the king's position.

What about his wife?

It is precisely because she is going to be his wife,

that she is going to die.
