Episode 46

Brother Mu Yan,

I already tried my best.

Madam, bad news.

What is it? Why are you so panicky?

The Prime Minister has taken actions.

Where is His Highness?

Did they kill him?

Yes or no?!

- I don't know. - Useless thing.

Reporting.

Prime Minister, bad news.

The men who were sent to kill Murong An have all been killed.

They died?

Is that demoness that great?

It wasn't Murong An. It was her personal maid.

Get everyone here.

As long as we capture that demoness,

Su Heng will appear.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear him? I'm going to save them.

Jun Fu won't be able to stop them.

It's a good thing.

Good thing? Are you crazy?

Of course, it's a good thing.

As long as Liu Wen's men leave the palace,

If I can take back the jade seal, I'll have a better control of the situation.

What are you talking about?

You are not going back to save Murong.

You are choosing to stay behind to snatch the Imperial Jade seal?

Is royalty that important to you?

She is pregnant with your flesh and blood.

If my throne is taken from me,

they'll die all the same.

When that time comes, he will never let us off.

You can escape with them, and live under a hidden identity.

as live as an ordinary man

and live an ordinary life.

I'm the King of Chen kingdom. I'm not a commoner.

Compared to living an inferior life,

I would rather die when I reign superior.

Stop there.

My father will definitely kill you.

Let's see whether he dies first or you.

If you move, just give us it a try.

My water broke.

She's going to give birth.

Hang on.

Kill her now!

She can't give birth earlier than I.

Quick, kill the child in her belly!

Are you okay?

Let me go.

I'm going to give birth soon!

I'm going to give birth soon!

Put me down in the water now.

Excellent.

The great undertaking that you have undertaken for the Liu family

putting your lives on the line,

and achieving great success.

I will not forget your hard work.

After I ascend the throne,

the first thing I do will be to promote all of you.

I guarantee your wealth and comfort

even in old age.

Long live His Highness!

Excellent.

Long live His Highness!

Long live His Highness!

Long live His Highness!

Long live His Highness!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness!

It's not that easy to sit on this throne.

Ever since I ascended the throne,

I already kept

a sharp knife on my back.

That was to remind me that

the King has a great glory

and how dangerous the back is.

There are many subjects

who are eyeing my throne

and wants to kill me.

There are many people who would instigate the people to rebel against me.

The King of Ling kingdom even sent his soldiers to try to conquer me.

If you want to be predominant,

you will need to face all kinds of dangers.

Liu Wen.

You shouldn't be called a statesman.

With your ability,

you are not fit for the throne.

Is that so but you have forgotten that

on this Blood Moon night, it's the mermaid's delivery.

I sent in the skilled soldiers

so that your child will not be born.

If you were to obediently give me your throne,

perhaps, I may let the mother and child off.

Reporting.

Your Highness.

The General has already rescued Madam Murong

and has successfully captured Madam Liu,

and the rebellion has been quashed.

Your Highness, please spare our lives.

Your Highness, I was wrong.

Please spare my life.

I'm returning this to you.

I'm returning the Imperial Jade seal to you.

Based on your marital relationship

with my daughter,

please spare me.

Why should I spare you for what you did to me?

Would I still spare you?

I'm the King. I'm the King of Chen kingdom!

Bring my child here.

Sister Murong.

How can you use up your remaining powers?

When the child leaves my body,

I won't be able to fully protect him.

I am using our tribe's seal

to prevent the characteristics of a mermaid from appearing.

Because of me, I don't want him

to be called a demon by others.

But this seal

can save his life in a crucial moment.

But this will seriously harm your health.

As long as the child is fine,

and even if I die now,

I will still be happy.

How could you say that?

His Highness is not here yet.

This will be your first family reunion.

Don't say anymore. I don't want to hear his name again.

Murong!

Murong.

Is this our child?

Give him to me now.

I finally has a child of my own.

Murong, it has been hard on you.

You said that you would be with me.

Where did you go?

I...

You were stopped by treacherous officials.

- Yes. You can continue to lie.

You are an ace in lying.

I have been lied to by you for too many times.

I will never trust you again.

I didn't lie to you.

It's true this time.

Whether it's true or not,

it doesn't concern me.

Leave. I don't want to see you again.

Murong.

Sister Murong. Let His Highness

chose a name for the child.

That's right. He is the Crown Prince.

He is the future king of Chen kingdom.

He should have a name.

Return my child to me.

If he becomes the Crown Prince,

he would need to become the ruler.

If he becomes the ruler, he needs to be the Emperor.

The stronger his power, the greater his ambitions.

I don't want my child

to have such a future.

I hope that he will be a happy person.

I don't want his wife

to suffer the same crime as me.

The King has spoken. Traitor Liu Wen

disobeyed the Heavens and his King.

His attempt to rebel cannot be forgiven.

He is ordered to die by dismemberment, and his corpse fed to wild animals.

He deserves such punishment.

He deserves such punishment.

Let me out.

Let me out. I want to see His Highness.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Why are you making so much noise? Are you seeking an early death?

Rotten thing. How could you talk to me this way?

Be careful. I will confiscate your entire family.

Do you still think you're Madam Liu?

A fallen phoenix like you cannot even be compared to a chicken.

Do you know who I am?

The Liu family laid down the framework for Chen,

and five generations have served in court.

I'm warning you.

When my father becomes the king,

I will skin you alive.

Prime Minister Liu is your father?

Then pray that the King of Hell will pardon him.

What you meant is...

Where is my father now?

Your father is already dead.

He was burnt alive by His Highness.

Impossible. You are lying to me.

Where is my mother then? Where is Ping Er?

What about the rest of my family?

They are all dead.

Even the chickens have not been spared.

It seems like your head is going to roll as well.

Save your energies for the road to the underworld.

Impossible.

Impossible.

Father. How could this happen?

Impossible.

Madam.

I personally cooked Osmanthus flower soup for her.

Where is Sister?

After giving birth, she has been very tired.

She has been deep in sleep for the past few days.

Sister is not like the ordinary people.

The delivery is harder than others.

It is normal for her to be tired.

Heat up this Osmanthus flower soup.

Let her drink it when she is awake.

I will leave after I have seen Sister and the Little Prince.

Okay.

Sister.

Sister.

Little Prince.

You are really blessed.

Being able to live in such luxury.

You were just born and you are already the Crown Prince.

In future, the King's throne

will be yours.

I hope that you went on a hunger strile

because you wanted to see me.

You killed my entire family.

Why didn't you kill me?

I haven't thought about how to punish you yet.

I am here now.

Speak if you have anything to say.

I have a question to ask you.

You must answer me honestly.

Speak.

Did you ever love me?

Is this that difficult to answer?

It's either yes or no.

No.

Impossible. You are lying to me.

How could you have not love me just a bit?

Up till today,

I don't need to lie to you.

I only love one woman in my life.

That is Murong An.

Impossible.

Do you still remember when we first met,

in a courtyard full of Spring blossoms?

You personally drew a picture for me.

Also later,

we spent so many nights together in bed.

You couldn't have not loved me just once.

You are lying to me.

You are lying to me, right?

Everything that I had done,

it was to protect my love for Murong.

I made use of you

but if you were not Prime Minister Liu's daughter,

I wouldn't have done this to you.

Liu Xinci.

You are only just a chess piece to me.

It was involuntarily.

Xinci, I owe you a debt in this lifetime.

I hope to return it to you in the next life.

Next life?

I don't want the next life.

Your Highness. You can repay me back in this life.

Look at me.

I still want to give you a Little Prince.

I still want to be your wife.

I'm still beautiful and young.

Give me another chance.

You don't need to, Xinci.

Our fates have already ended.

You don't need to force yourself.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Don't leave.

Your Highness. Don't leave.

Don't abandon me.

One month later.

How is my child?

Even though it's not a month yet,

the child is skinny

but the baby is very healthy.

But it's a pity the baby has a defect.

What defect? Tell me now.

The baby is a girl.

A girl can never be a Crown Prince.

If news that you gave birth to a Little Princess leaks out,

my plan will ne ruined.

But she is already born.

This is heaven's will

and our fate.

Impossible.

I don't believe the Heavens will take care of Su Heng forever.

Even if God doesn't want to help me,

I can help myself.

Fortunately, I already made plans.

Yesterday, a servant just gave birth to a boy.

I already exchanged the babies.

I will sent this baby girl out of the palace.

Remember this. You gave birth to a son.

What about my child?

She is also your child.

Don't worry, I will find someone to take care of her.

She will be raised by a rich family.

She won't be lacking than a prince.

Wait.

I'm begging you.

Let me see her

and hold her again.

She is my child.

It's better that you don't see her.

You won't miss her then.

I won't cry.

I will never cry again in my life.

Madam, which flower should we pluck today

and display in our palace?

The colour of that flower is nice.

Ask her where she plucked it from.

Yes.

Sister. May I ask,

this flower...

Sister!

Madam, she...

She ran away when she saw me.

Send men to capture her and bring her back.

Kneel down.

Why did you run away when you saw me?

Madam, please spare my life.

Spare your life?

Why must I spare your life?

You are...

You are Madam Murong's palace maid.

I didn't see anything. I don't know anything.

Madam, spare my life.

What did you see?

I didn't see anything.

What did you see?!

I didn't see anything.

Did you tell anyone else?

- I don't know anything. - Are you going to tell me or not?

You are not going to talk, right?

Are you going to tell me or not?

Tell me!

Tell me who it is.

Speak!

Are you going to tell me or not?!

Speak!

Speak!

Madam! Madam!

Madam, she's not breathing.

I'll give you ten minutes.

Thank you. I will be out soon.

Come with me.

What are you doing here?

Are you happy

seeing me in this state now?

I'm here to save you.

I don't believe you will be that kind.

Frankly, I'm here to repay you

for saving me in the past.

Do you think I'm that easily tricked?

At the time, I forced you to drink the abortive herbal medicine

you hated me very much.

Why would you be here to save me?

Okay, I will speak honestly.

I hate Su Heng.

Su Heng is most wary

of the Liu family.

As long as you live,

the Liu family's blood still runs.

you will be able to take revenge on him one day.

The words sound honest

though the royal prisons are heavily guarded.

How are you going to save me?

If you eat this,

your appearance will change.

If you wear the dress of the palace maid,

even if you were to walk in front of Su Heng,

he won't be able to recognise you.

How do you know black magic?

Who exactly are you?

You don't need to know who I am.

You only need to know that

I'm the only one who can save you.

Time is running out.

Do you want to live or not?

Make your own decision.

Think about your father.

Think about the glory of your family's next generation.

Think about the position of Queen that has been stolen from you.

Can you bear such humiliation?

I still have another condition.

The Liu family has eight secret treasure troves.

Tell me where it's hidden.

You want to take advantage of me.

Do you think you still have a leeway?

Fine, I will tell you.

Have I transformed?

You have transformed.

You have totally transformed into another person.

You have transformed into me.

What's going on?

Sorry. Frankly, I'm here

not to save you but to save myself.

Impossible.

Impossible!

You are going to die soon.

Furthermore, you are going to die as Nangong Qing.

A lowly

woman whose status that you never cared twice about.

My face. Give me back my face!

Give me back my face!

Everything has ended.

There wouldn't be a Nangong Qing in this world again.

Su Heng.

You are going to face a totally different Liu Xinci.

Someone who is stronger and more patient.

I should spend more time with you and the child

but it's a pity there have been too many changes in the palace.

I've also heard some things. Thankfully everything is now solved.

Su Heng. The current Chen kingdom,

is this what you really want?

Though Liu Wen has been disposed of, his power is still here.

The Kingdom of Chen must be invincible.

I still have many things to do.

Your ambition for power is endless.

It's because I want to hand over

a stronger country to our child.

Your Highness, something bad has happened.

What has happened?

Your Highness, Madam. The palace maid Qin'er

has been beaten to death by Madam Nangong Qing.

What?

Your Highness, something bad has happened.

What is it now?

Your Highness. Madam Nangong has been assassinated.

Who did it?

Madam Nangong Qing went to visit Madam Liu secretly.

She suddenly went crazy and killed Madam Liu.

She kept saying that she is the real Liu Xinci.

- After that... - What happened next?

She fainted after that.

How is Madam Liu now?

Her injury is not serious. She was only shocked. She kept crying and wanted to see Your Highness.

Leave first.

How do you plan to settle this?

Liu Wen is a traitor. His whole family should be beheaded.

By sending her to the Cold Palace, I'm already going easy on her.

As a woman,

it's because they couldn't obtain your love. That's why they are unhappy.

Su Heng. I have never asked you about the state affairs

but regarding this, I hope that you will show your kindness.

She was against you in the past,

you really forgive her?

I have never cared about how she went against me.

The only person I cared about is you

but now we have another person.

my heart is still as water.

I do not want to kill anymore people.

Fine. Since you put it this way,

I will give her a lighter punishment.

Your Highness. My legs are a bit tired from standing.

Could I sit down?

You are a woman who has committed a crime? What right do you have to make any requests?

Liu Wen's attempt at assassinating the King means that his whole family should be beheaded.

None of the family could be spared. Did you understand that?

I do.

Because you were my woman in the past,

I won't kill you. I will put you on exile.

Though it is hard, it will be peaceful.

Take whichever palace maid you find satisfactory.

I won't bring any along with me.

You've been spoiled since young.

You won't be able to survive alone in the South.

I won't go to the South.

If you stay here, you will always be in prison.

I won't be confined in the cell too.

I want to be your wife, just like in the past

and stay in the palace.

Just like before?

We will never be able to go back to the past.

Let's start anew then.

What cards do you have?

I do.

Tell me then.

Your Highness, you should know that the Liu family have great influence in Chen.

Even the Kingdom of Zheng has to give my father face.

This isn't only because we have great power in court -

but also because the Liu family is extremely rich.

The Liu family is the richest in Chen.

Yet the Liu family has been wrecked.

The riches have already been handed to the national treasury.

Your Highness. I can't be that what you think that you saw

was all our family's assets.

There have been rumours

that your riches are evenly matched with the Kingdom of Chen's.

Looks like this saying is not ridiculous.

The Liu family has eight treasure vaults in the north, south, east and west of Chen.

Only the eldest son or daughter will know the exact locations.

What Your Highness just said,

that our riches are evenly matched with Chen's

is not true. The Liu family's assets

is more than enough to buy three Kingdoms of Chen.

Your Highness doesn't believe this?

Speak. What do you want?

I want to exchange these assets for the return of my former glory.

Your Highness. I know you are ambitious, and that you desire to rule over the seven Kingdoms.

Yet the current national treasury is near empty.

If Your Highness wants to train soldiers and buy horses and rations,

which one of these don't require money?

I know that as the daughter of a traitor, I am reviled.

Because I have these assets,

don't you think I am prettier now?

Looks like I really underestimated you.

Fine. I will agree with you.

Thanks, Your Highness.

Your Highness. Madam Nangong is dead.

What?

Bury her properly.

But what about the Little Prince?

Your Highness.

Why don't you let me raise the Little Prince?

You?

I know that you must be wondering

if I'm up to something fishy again.

I know that after this, Your Highness will no longer bestow any favours upon me.

However, inside these palace walls, if I can peacefully raise the young Prince,

I won't be bored.

Okay.

Your Highness. The baby doesn't have a name yet.

Just call the baby Su Xie.

Mu Yan gege, do you think things worked out this time round?

Hopefully.

Don't be so pessimistic.

I'm not being pessimistic. Hints of the mermaid pearl still haven't been found.

What is it

that caused Murong An to cry.

What you are saying is...

we should stay with him

and see what will happen next.

Perhaps, we may be able to help them t his time.

Perhaps we can give your parents a happy ending.

Do you still remember how it was when we first met in the enchanted forest?

It is etched in my bones. I will never be able to forget it.

You probably still remember what you asked me when we were in the cottage in the forest.

You asked me why I was barefooted. I didn't reply you.

You later said that...

I said that spirits knew even more about the harmony between humans and nature than humans themselves.

With the sky as your canopy and the earth as your mattress, this kind of life is the most happy.

If there is a day like this,

I won't exchange it for the throne.

Leave with me then. Bring along Yu'er.

Let's go back to the enchanted forest

and spend the rest of our lives like deities.

Fine.
