{\an8}[Episode 6]

2
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:18,530
Greetings, Your Grace.

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,920
Why did you

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,199
barge into my Fucang Palace like this?

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,920
Your Grace,

6
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:28,750
I'm here to apprehend an assassin.

7
00:00:30,190 --> 00:00:30,809
You...

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,899
You harassed me first.

9
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:38,509
Considering your meritorious service
to His Grace,

10
00:00:38,509 --> 00:00:39,509
I wanted to summon you
to the Eastern Palace

11
00:00:39,509 --> 00:00:40,929
to reward you properly.

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,039
Who would have thought...

13
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:44,420
you tried to climb the social ladder

14
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:45,280
by seducing me?

15
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:46,060
You...

16
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:47,570
I reprimanded you severely,

17
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,369
but you tried to assassinate me.

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,560
You're slandering me!

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,560
Who is the slanderer—

20
00:00:57,539 --> 00:00:59,670
Your Grace, given how well you know me,

21
00:00:59,899 --> 00:01:01,759
you should be able to tell. Right?

22
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:04,319
Prince Fuying is benevolent
and kind-hearted.

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,519
Everyone knows that.

24
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:07,879
If this gets out,

25
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:09,680
I'm afraid everyone would think

26
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:11,849
she slandered you.

27
00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:15,920
You are a wise man, Your Grace.

28
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,180
Since that is the case,

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,120
let me take her away.

30
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:22,450
Wait.

31
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:28,159
Anything else, Your Grace?

32
00:01:31,739 --> 00:01:34,069
How long have you been
by His Grace's side?

33
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,319
His Grace is very strict.

34
00:01:36,819 --> 00:01:38,159
Being by his side

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,909
must be quite taxing.

36
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:43,789
How long have you been
by His Grace's side?

37
00:01:43,789 --> 00:01:45,150
Your Highness,

38
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:46,370
it hasn't been long.

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,319
His Grace is very strict.

40
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,629
Being by his side must be quite taxing.

41
00:01:52,009 --> 00:01:53,239
I don't know why,

42
00:01:53,819 --> 00:01:55,120
but when I first saw you

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,978
at the family banquet,

44
00:01:56,978 --> 00:01:58,579
my heart was deeply stirred.

45
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:00,049
Since that day,

46
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:01,939
I've been thinking of you
day and night.

47
00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:04,939
Today, I specifically ordered someone
to summon you here

48
00:02:04,939 --> 00:02:07,299
to relieve the pain of this longing.

49
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:10,030
If I go with you to confront each other

50
00:02:10,030 --> 00:02:12,020
-before His Majesty,
-How did he know?

51
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:13,349
do you think His Majesty

52
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:15,689
would believe me

53
00:02:16,699 --> 00:02:18,449
or you?

54
00:02:25,139 --> 00:02:27,069
It was merely a misunderstanding.

55
00:02:27,969 --> 00:02:29,030
I didn't expect...

56
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:31,150
to disturb you, Your Grace.

57
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:34,240
I...

58
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,629
won't disturb you any further.

59
00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:38,759
I'll take my leave.

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,079
Wait.

61
00:02:43,180 --> 00:02:44,780
You harassed her.

62
00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:47,599
And you haven't given her an explanation.

63
00:02:50,939 --> 00:02:52,819
Your Grace, do you...

64
00:02:55,060 --> 00:02:57,139
want me to apologize to her?

65
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,159
Of course not...

66
00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:02,289
as simple as apologizing.

67
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:18,500
What do you want, Your Grace?

68
00:03:20,150 --> 00:03:20,949
It's up to her.

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:35,759
Let it go.

70
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:37,840
He is the Crown Prince after all.

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,759
You have my support.

72
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,219
What are you afraid of?

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,079
You said that yourself.

74
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,110
{\an8}[Eternal Love of the Fox]

75
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Your Highness,

76
00:05:52,389 --> 00:05:53,509
drink all of this,

77
00:05:53,939 --> 00:05:57,069
and our misunderstanding
will be considered resolved.

78
00:05:57,689 --> 00:05:59,730
I am the Crown Prince.

79
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:02,120
Your Grace,

80
00:06:03,899 --> 00:06:06,100
you just let her humiliate me like this?

81
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:09,209
That's a fair point.

82
00:06:09,939 --> 00:06:10,639
Xiangjiu,

83
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,720
he is the Crown Prince after all.

84
00:06:12,779 --> 00:06:14,839
For my sake, how about letting him...

85
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,029
drink half of it?

86
00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:22,329
Well...

87
00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:24,930
since His Grace already said that...

88
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:28,810
just drink half of it.

89
00:06:33,779 --> 00:06:35,658
Are you trying to kill me?

90
00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:37,290
You're exaggerating.

91
00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:39,420
This is merely a bucket of dirty water.

92
00:06:46,579 --> 00:06:47,699
Your Highness,

93
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:50,029
please.

94
00:06:54,699 --> 00:06:56,300
Since you're not willing...

95
00:06:58,300 --> 00:06:59,420
kill her.

96
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:21,529
Your Highness!

97
00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:22,670
Your Highness!

98
00:07:22,670 --> 00:07:23,860
Please spare me, Your Highness!

99
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:25,290
Please don't kill me, Your Highness!

100
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:26,430
-Your Highness!
-Let go!

101
00:07:26,430 --> 00:07:27,779
What are you doing?

102
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:29,819
Let go!

103
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:30,970
Let go immediately!

104
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:33,290
Your Majesty!

105
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:34,079
Your Majesty!

106
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:35,199
Your Majesty, help!

107
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:36,240
Your Majesty!

108
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:37,639
His Highness wants me to drink that!

109
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:39,079
If I don't drink it, he'll kill me!

110
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:40,319
Help me!

111
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:41,600
Your Majesty!

112
00:07:55,379 --> 00:07:56,540
You set me up.

113
00:07:58,290 --> 00:07:59,290
Fuying.

114
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,870
What's going on?

115
00:08:05,939 --> 00:08:07,860
Father.

116
00:08:08,129 --> 00:08:09,459
It's not what you think.

117
00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:11,779
Why would I do something like that?

118
00:08:11,779 --> 00:08:14,149
It was...

119
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:15,740
It was just a joke.

120
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:19,519
A joke?

121
00:08:19,949 --> 00:08:20,550
Yes.

122
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,639
A joke.

123
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:25,189
A joke!

124
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,720
What joke?

125
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:36,610
Prince Fuying...

126
00:08:36,629 --> 00:08:37,980
was here to alleviate my boredom.

127
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:39,139
We made a small bet.

128
00:08:39,428 --> 00:08:42,158
The loser
would drink this bucket of dirty water.

129
00:08:42,259 --> 00:08:43,860
Prince Fuying unfortunately lost.

130
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:45,259
My maid took it seriously

131
00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:47,789
and forced him to drink it.

132
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:50,159
Prince Fuying... was furious,

133
00:08:50,659 --> 00:08:52,190
so he took out the dagger...

134
00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:54,860
It's all my fault.

135
00:08:55,389 --> 00:08:57,590
I shouldn't have let them make that bet.

136
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,929
How can it be your fault?

137
00:08:59,279 --> 00:09:00,639
A bet is a bet.

138
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,159
Fuying.

139
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,440
You have always been broad-minded.

140
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:09,750
How could you
lose your gentlemanly composure

141
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:11,870
on such a trivial matter?

142
00:09:20,029 --> 00:09:22,149
Father, you're right.

143
00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:24,929
I lost my composure.

144
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:29,940
A bet is a bet.

145
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:34,480
I should...

146
00:09:39,419 --> 00:09:41,779
I should drink this bucket of dirty water.

147
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,980
Your Highness, don't say that.

148
00:09:46,610 --> 00:09:49,809
How could we make His Highness
drink something like this?

149
00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:50,740
I was...

150
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:52,450
I was just

151
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,440
joking with His Highness.

152
00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:55,529
If anyone should drink it,

153
00:09:55,529 --> 00:09:56,850
it should be me!

154
00:10:00,409 --> 00:10:01,490
How could we make

155
00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:04,850
a young lady like you
drink such dirty water?

156
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,519
How could we make the noble Crown Prince

157
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,139
do something like this?

158
00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:13,700
I'll drink.

159
00:10:13,809 --> 00:10:14,610
I'll drink!

160
00:10:15,429 --> 00:10:16,970
-I'll drink.
-I'll drink!

161
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,799
I'll drink!

162
00:10:18,169 --> 00:10:18,830
I'll drink!

163
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,519
I'll drink!

164
00:10:19,570 --> 00:10:20,289
I'll drink!

165
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,659
Alright,

166
00:10:20,659 --> 00:10:21,529
you drink!

167
00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:37,820
A bet is a bet.

168
00:11:10,299 --> 00:11:11,220
Mochen,

169
00:11:13,409 --> 00:11:15,269
the girl by your side...

170
00:11:16,269 --> 00:11:17,870
is quite impressive.

171
00:11:19,809 --> 00:11:21,590
She is indeed a bit mischievous,

172
00:11:21,590 --> 00:11:23,049
but she's not a bad person.

173
00:11:23,190 --> 00:11:25,139
Today, Prince Fuying offended her first.

174
00:11:25,139 --> 00:11:27,039
After all, she's from the Fucang Palace.

175
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,840
So I ordered her
to administer a small punishment.

176
00:11:32,309 --> 00:11:33,669
I understand.

177
00:11:34,740 --> 00:11:37,059
We can't indulge Prince Fuying

178
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:38,539
when he makes a mistake

179
00:11:38,669 --> 00:11:40,480
just because he's benevolent
and kind-hearted.

180
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,960
With you overseeing him for me,

181
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:44,850
I feel much more at ease.

182
00:11:48,419 --> 00:11:49,200
Your Majesty,

183
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,679
I have a presumptuous request.

184
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:53,639
Then don't say it.

185
00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:56,779
But I still can't help saying it.

186
00:11:58,159 --> 00:11:58,960
Mochen,

187
00:11:59,909 --> 00:12:01,120
let her speak.

188
00:12:02,289 --> 00:12:03,149
I

189
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,259
allow you to say it.

190
00:12:07,220 --> 00:12:08,019
Your Majesty,

191
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:12,070
the Crown Prince is benevolent,
but only to some people, I think.

192
00:12:20,049 --> 00:12:20,450
I...

193
00:12:23,470 --> 00:12:24,039
I...

194
00:12:26,990 --> 00:12:27,850
Stop coughing.

195
00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:29,870
You'll cough your liver out later.

196
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Mochen,

197
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,679
let her speak.

198
00:12:33,259 --> 00:12:34,659
Say it.

199
00:12:35,220 --> 00:12:35,779
Go ahead.

200
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,679
Mm.

201
00:12:37,580 --> 00:12:38,379
Your Majesty,

202
00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:41,190
I saw with my own eyes
in the Eastern Palace

203
00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:44,779
that the Crown Prince either beat
or berated the Princess Consort.

204
00:12:44,779 --> 00:12:46,340
Although you are the Emperor,

205
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:48,639
you're also
the Princess Consort's father-in-law.

206
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,110
Your daughter-in-law was abused,

207
00:12:50,110 --> 00:12:51,789
but you ignored it.

208
00:12:51,820 --> 00:12:53,110
It's akin to being an accomplice.

209
00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:54,440
The sin is even greater!

210
00:12:59,259 --> 00:12:59,980
How dare you!

211
00:12:59,980 --> 00:13:02,950
The Crown Prince and the Princess Consort
live in the Eastern Palace.

212
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:06,090
They spend their own time together.

213
00:13:06,190 --> 00:13:07,649
How would His Majesty know

214
00:13:07,649 --> 00:13:09,360
how they get along?

215
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,090
That's not true.

216
00:13:11,409 --> 00:13:13,340
Has the Princess Consort

217
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:15,960
never mentioned to His Majesty
that she was abused?

218
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,700
I can guarantee

219
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:21,690
the Princess Consort indeed
has never mentioned it to His Majesty.

220
00:13:21,690 --> 00:13:23,509
Then the problem is even bigger.

221
00:13:25,139 --> 00:13:25,940
Your Majesty,

222
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:27,399
please think about it.

223
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:31,360
How come the Princess Consort
has never dared to mention it to you?

224
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,649
There must be

225
00:13:33,769 --> 00:13:35,570
a reason for that.

226
00:13:38,179 --> 00:13:39,620
You're right.

227
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:42,840
If this is true,

228
00:13:43,629 --> 00:13:44,629
I will

229
00:13:44,649 --> 00:13:47,049
give the Princess Consort an explanation.

230
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,039
Mochen,

231
00:13:53,009 --> 00:13:54,230
you've got

232
00:13:54,450 --> 00:13:55,779
quite a discerning eye.

233
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,389
Master,

234
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,620
don't you think you're

235
00:14:08,899 --> 00:14:10,009
too close to her?

236
00:14:10,220 --> 00:14:11,639
If you're too close,

237
00:14:11,669 --> 00:14:13,200
you'll be reluctant again.

238
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:18,350
Your tribulation is in a few days.

239
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:20,440
Since she has appeared,

240
00:14:21,190 --> 00:14:22,669
don't miss her this time.

241
00:14:23,169 --> 00:14:24,500
Let her help you ascend,

242
00:14:24,769 --> 00:14:27,169
so you won't suffer the tribulation again.

243
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:32,620
Master!

244
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Master.

245
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,200
-Greetings, Your Grace!
-Greetings, Your Grace!

246
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,220
{\an8}[Imperial Wardrobe Bureau]

247
00:14:50,019 --> 00:14:51,620
Your Grace, why

248
00:14:51,669 --> 00:14:53,750
d-did you come

249
00:14:53,779 --> 00:14:56,840
to this s-small Imperial Wardrobe Bureau?

250
00:14:56,860 --> 00:14:57,720
Director Zhou,

251
00:14:58,309 --> 00:14:59,740
does His Grace need a reason

252
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,139
to go wherever he wishes?

253
00:15:01,379 --> 00:15:03,019
That's n-not...

254
00:15:03,019 --> 00:15:04,700
not what I meant.

255
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:06,419
Is there

256
00:15:06,419 --> 00:15:08,350
a maid named Xin Qiaoru here?

257
00:15:10,299 --> 00:15:12,980
Xin Qiaoru?

258
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:15,720
Director Zhou,

259
00:15:15,740 --> 00:15:16,659
is he

260
00:15:16,659 --> 00:15:18,039
talking about Ru?

261
00:15:19,509 --> 00:15:20,389
T-There is...

262
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:21,549
There is such a girl.

263
00:15:21,559 --> 00:15:24,899
But she's no longer
in the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau.

264
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Where is she?

265
00:15:27,389 --> 00:15:28,190
Well...

266
00:15:28,450 --> 00:15:30,909
She was punished
and sent to the Cold Palace.

267
00:15:31,059 --> 00:15:31,990
The Cold Palace?

268
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,019
Why was she sent to the Cold Palace?

269
00:15:34,019 --> 00:15:35,500
She tore the dress we made

270
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,200
for Princess Ningshuang!

271
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:37,799
She...

272
00:15:38,409 --> 00:15:41,269
She was sent to the Cold Palace
just because of that?

273
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,789
That wretched girl

274
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:44,259
was very withdrawn usually.

275
00:15:44,259 --> 00:15:45,340
She didn't fit in.

276
00:15:45,370 --> 00:15:47,029
No one wanted to be around her.

277
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,200
She only got along well

278
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,320
with that animal.

279
00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:51,190
Animal?

280
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:52,500
Animal?

281
00:15:53,990 --> 00:15:54,830
Your Grace,

282
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:56,610
there is a stray dog

283
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:58,590
in the Cold Palace.

284
00:15:59,529 --> 00:16:01,059
She always fed that animal.

285
00:16:06,070 --> 00:16:08,590
Since we're both lost souls,

286
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,440
do you want to come back
to the Fucang Palace with me?

287
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,240
There's a lot of good food there.

288
00:16:15,190 --> 00:16:15,850
Come on!

289
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:18,460
If you don't come, I'm leaving.

290
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:23,779
Where are you going?

291
00:16:24,809 --> 00:16:26,970
Master, why is she acting so crazy?

292
00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:30,929
-Take care, Your Grace!
-Take care, Your Grace!

293
00:16:44,389 --> 00:16:45,889
Come.

294
00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:49,639
Did they...

295
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:51,059
discover something?

296
00:16:51,149 --> 00:16:52,750
Don't worry, Director Zhou.

297
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:54,480
No one

298
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:56,059
will ever discover that.

299
00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:58,370
Clever.

300
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,079
Qiaoru?

301
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,400
You can still see her?

302
00:17:55,789 --> 00:17:56,589
Yes.

303
00:17:57,079 --> 00:17:58,740
We've already switched back.

304
00:17:59,339 --> 00:18:00,700
Why can I still see her?

305
00:18:08,779 --> 00:18:09,740
It...

306
00:18:10,380 --> 00:18:11,859
is your regret, right?

307
00:18:22,890 --> 00:18:24,170
I remember now.

308
00:18:24,519 --> 00:18:25,640
You're Xiaofu.

309
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:40,380
Xiaofu.

310
00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:42,980
Since you couldn't bear to part from it,

311
00:18:42,980 --> 00:18:44,460
why did you hang yourself?

312
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:51,319
Listen to me, everyone.

313
00:18:51,529 --> 00:18:54,289
There were 2 apes on a tree,

314
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,039
one male and one female.

315
00:18:56,059 --> 00:18:58,450
An old man was herding sheep
below the tree.

316
00:18:58,450 --> 00:19:00,539
Suddenly, a fierce tiger pounced to hunt

317
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:01,869
and devoured his sheep.

318
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,529
The female ape on the tree
said 5 words in astonishment.

319
00:19:04,529 --> 00:19:05,789
The male ape immediately

320
00:19:05,789 --> 00:19:07,230
molested the female ape.

321
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,640
Everyone,

322
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:11,339
what are the 5 words

323
00:19:11,339 --> 00:19:12,470
the female ape said?

324
00:19:15,940 --> 00:19:16,819
Director Zhou,

325
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,089
that's so dirty.

326
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:23,339
Ru,

327
00:19:23,369 --> 00:19:24,809
why aren't you laughing?

328
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,970
Director Zhou's joke is so funny.

329
00:19:28,099 --> 00:19:29,000
It's funny, right?

330
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,680
This kind of joke is very dull.

331
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:31,970
Dull?

332
00:19:32,369 --> 00:19:33,180
It's okay. It's okay.

333
00:19:33,180 --> 00:19:34,539
I know a better one.

334
00:19:34,539 --> 00:19:35,420
Director Zhou.

335
00:19:36,980 --> 00:19:38,660
I...

336
00:19:39,390 --> 00:19:42,039
I'm not interested in this kind of joke.

337
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:48,859
Everyone is laughing so happily.

338
00:19:49,170 --> 00:19:50,809
Why won't you play along?

339
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,799
Ru,

340
00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:55,890
you're so unsociable.

341
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,119
I'm afraid it's inappropriate.

342
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:04,039
Oh.

343
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,000
You don't know how to laugh.

344
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,720
It's okay. It's okay.

345
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:11,509
Xiang Dong.

346
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:13,200
Xiang Ling.

347
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,519
You two, as her good sisters,

348
00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:17,390
teach your younger sister

349
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:19,900
how to laugh.

350
00:20:20,910 --> 00:20:22,109
-Yes.
-Yes.

351
00:20:29,309 --> 00:20:31,309
When your superior tells a joke,

352
00:20:32,019 --> 00:20:34,180
you should... laugh!

353
00:20:35,529 --> 00:20:37,690
Laugh! Laugh!

354
00:20:45,529 --> 00:20:46,509
Funny, right?

355
00:20:46,539 --> 00:20:47,309
Laugh!

356
00:20:47,339 --> 00:20:48,480
Funny, right?

357
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:51,359
Laugh happily.

358
00:21:13,539 --> 00:21:15,619
If Princess Ningshuang
finds out about this,

359
00:21:15,619 --> 00:21:17,380
we will die.

360
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:19,500
Of course!

361
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:21,799
Of course.

362
00:21:21,829 --> 00:21:22,849
I don't need you to remind me.

363
00:21:22,849 --> 00:21:24,569
Go fix it now.

364
00:21:25,269 --> 00:21:26,130
Director Zhou,

365
00:21:26,329 --> 00:21:27,660
if Princess Ningshuang

366
00:21:27,940 --> 00:21:30,079
finds out we hide it from her,

367
00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:32,549
I'm afraid we'll die even more horribly.

368
00:21:34,569 --> 00:21:35,369
How about...

369
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,319
You tore Princess Ningshuang's dress.

370
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:51,759
Princess Ningshuang showed mercy

371
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:52,960
and spared your life.

372
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:55,339
Just stay in the Cold Palace

373
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:56,920
for the rest of your life.

374
00:21:57,910 --> 00:21:59,710
But you must never step outside.

375
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:02,849
Taking even half a step
out of the Cold Palace

376
00:22:02,849 --> 00:22:04,210
is a capital offense.

377
00:22:05,250 --> 00:22:06,170
But

378
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,200
someone will deliver food to you
at the door every day.

379
00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:13,019
But I heard that those people

380
00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,240
are not very punctual.

381
00:22:16,589 --> 00:22:17,430
Sometimes...

382
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,380
they forget the time.

383
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:25,039
Let's go.

384
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:25,569
Let's go.

385
00:22:44,670 --> 00:22:45,430
Xiaofu.

386
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:49,099
Come.

387
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,279
Xiaofu,

388
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:03,319
it's been 3 days
since they delivered food to us.

389
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,640
Where are you going, Xiaofu?

390
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,859
Xiaofu.

391
00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:26,400
Where did you get this?

392
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,319
As usual,

393
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:31,380
half for each of us.

394
00:23:48,690 --> 00:23:49,890
Look at her.

395
00:23:49,910 --> 00:23:51,910
She's sleeping quite contentedly.

396
00:23:52,059 --> 00:23:52,859
Ru,

397
00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:55,210
I thought you didn't know how to smile.

398
00:23:56,569 --> 00:23:58,809
This animal made you smile, right?

399
00:24:03,529 --> 00:24:04,329
Xiaofu.

400
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:05,859
Let it go!

401
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,160
Xiaofu!

402
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,000
I'm begging you.

403
00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:17,140
You can do whatever you want to me.

404
00:24:17,579 --> 00:24:18,500
Then smile.

405
00:24:18,779 --> 00:24:20,000
Give us a smile.

406
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:21,890
If you smile,

407
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,039
we'll let it go.

408
00:24:24,579 --> 00:24:25,420
Come on, smile.

409
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:26,180
I'll smile.

410
00:24:26,950 --> 00:24:27,990
I'll smile.

411
00:24:39,670 --> 00:24:40,670
Let me see

412
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:42,450
how deep your bond is.

413
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,500
Will you die for it?

414
00:24:52,849 --> 00:24:54,029
Too bad.

415
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:58,160
It seems your bond with it
isn't that deep.

416
00:24:58,579 --> 00:24:59,420
Then...

417
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:01,420
say goodbye now.

418
00:25:01,420 --> 00:25:02,220
Wait!

419
00:25:25,180 --> 00:25:26,740
If I die,

420
00:25:27,420 --> 00:25:29,480
will you let it go?

421
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,539
We'll keep

422
00:25:31,630 --> 00:25:32,609
our word.

423
00:25:42,869 --> 00:25:44,400
She really hanged herself!

424
00:25:45,180 --> 00:25:46,140
We...

425
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,390
Don't let anyone see us!

426
00:25:47,390 --> 00:25:48,059
Let's go!

427
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:48,759
Let's go!

428
00:26:28,170 --> 00:26:29,180
Thank you.

429
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,289
She was also a demon.

430
00:26:35,710 --> 00:26:37,789
Why had she always been bullied?

431
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,539
To transform into human form,

432
00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:43,140
she exhausted all her cultivation.

433
00:26:45,319 --> 00:26:47,519
If she had remained a little flower,

434
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:50,960
she wouldn't have suffered any of this.

435
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:00,400
She fell in love.

436
00:27:02,660 --> 00:27:03,940
What does that mean?

437
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,170
Now you should understand.

438
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:31,200
Some regrets don't need to be made up for.

439
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:33,430
If she could forget her regret,

440
00:27:33,849 --> 00:27:35,130
at least when she left,

441
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:38,529
she wouldn't have been so heartbroken
or reluctant.

442
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:41,099
If it were you,

443
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,299
when your life is nearing its end,

444
00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,000
would you choose
to make up for your regret?

445
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,519
To make up for 1 person's regret,

446
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,279
only for it to become 2 people's regret—

447
00:27:52,220 --> 00:27:53,380
what's the point?

448
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,980
Of course we should make up for it.

449
00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:06,900
Even if it becomes 2 people's regret,

450
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:08,539
regret

451
00:28:09,299 --> 00:28:10,829
is better than forgetting.

452
00:28:31,819 --> 00:28:32,619
Move.

453
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:40,180
Move forward.

454
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:44,309
Why did His Grace...

455
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:47,940
ask us to come to such a place at night?

456
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,640
It's so creepy.

457
00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:51,250
Isn't...

458
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:52,170
Isn't...

459
00:28:52,859 --> 00:28:53,579
Isn't this

460
00:28:53,609 --> 00:28:55,289
where Ru hanged herself?

461
00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:58,500
L-Let's... go back.

462
00:28:58,529 --> 00:28:59,430
-Okay.
-Okay.

463
00:28:59,450 --> 00:29:00,250
Stop!

464
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,670
You wretched girl,
where did you come from?

465
00:29:20,670 --> 00:29:21,609
Why are you here playing tricks

466
00:29:21,609 --> 00:29:23,069
in the middle of the night?

467
00:29:25,859 --> 00:29:26,720
Director Zhou.

468
00:29:26,990 --> 00:29:29,650
Isn't she the maid by His Grace's side?

469
00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:33,710
So you are His Grace's maid.

470
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:38,299
His Grace asked us to come here

471
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:39,799
in the middle of the night.

472
00:29:40,140 --> 00:29:41,630
May I ask why?

473
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:41,980
Yes.

474
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:42,819
I heard

475
00:29:42,819 --> 00:29:45,299
Director Zhou likes to laugh very much.

476
00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:46,460
So I specifically came here

477
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:48,059
to see how you laugh.

478
00:29:49,569 --> 00:29:50,210
Laugh?

479
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,000
Laugh.

480
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:53,480
Are you...

481
00:29:53,730 --> 00:29:55,309
making fools of us?

482
00:29:57,119 --> 00:29:58,180
You...

483
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,359
This is outrageous.

484
00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:01,470
Let's go!

485
00:30:02,359 --> 00:30:03,160
Stop!

486
00:30:04,180 --> 00:30:05,910
You're leaving just like that?

487
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:08,720
Then the matter
of you ruining Princess Ningshuang's dress

488
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,440
and framing Qiaoru for it

489
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,880
will be exposed.

490
00:30:14,269 --> 00:30:15,009
Hey.

491
00:30:15,210 --> 00:30:16,559
Don't talk nonsense!

492
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:18,559
I saw it with my own eyes.

493
00:30:18,740 --> 00:30:20,420
You used Xiaofu

494
00:30:21,019 --> 00:30:22,839
to force Qiaoru to hang herself!

495
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:25,900
You were there too?

496
00:30:28,019 --> 00:30:28,819
You...

497
00:30:29,519 --> 00:30:30,900
You really did something like that?

498
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:31,539
No!

499
00:30:31,539 --> 00:30:33,180
We were just joking.

500
00:30:33,460 --> 00:30:35,799
We didn't know
she would really sacrifice her life

501
00:30:35,799 --> 00:30:37,359
for that animal!

502
00:30:37,390 --> 00:30:38,589
It's an animal to you,

503
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:40,450
but not to Qiaoru.

504
00:30:40,930 --> 00:30:42,150
In Qiaoru's eyes,

505
00:30:42,710 --> 00:30:45,150
Xiaofu was her family.

506
00:30:46,289 --> 00:30:48,509
Just like now, in the eyes of others,

507
00:30:48,619 --> 00:30:50,349
you might be considered human.

508
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:51,589
But in my eyes,

509
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:54,250
you are worse than pigs and dogs.

510
00:30:57,009 --> 00:30:58,529
Those above are superior;

511
00:30:59,119 --> 00:31:00,759
those below are lowly.

512
00:31:01,259 --> 00:31:03,740
That is an eternal, unchanging truth.

513
00:31:04,339 --> 00:31:06,940
I told a joke,
and she had the nerve not to laugh!

514
00:31:07,710 --> 00:31:10,470
She didn't even know
how to flatter her superiors.

515
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:11,529
What's the point

516
00:31:11,619 --> 00:31:12,480
of keeping her?

517
00:31:14,829 --> 00:31:18,349
So when you tell those dirty jokes,

518
00:31:19,099 --> 00:31:20,539
she should force a laugh?

519
00:31:21,599 --> 00:31:23,109
She earned a job

520
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:24,490
through her own hard work.

521
00:31:24,490 --> 00:31:26,049
That makes her lowly?

522
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,960
You're merely in a different position.

523
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,640
That makes you superior?

524
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:33,720
Who are you to decide
who is superior and who is lowly?

525
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:35,940
Director Zhou,

526
00:31:35,940 --> 00:31:37,339
don't waste words on her.

527
00:31:37,940 --> 00:31:39,059
She knows too much.

528
00:31:39,089 --> 00:31:39,819
How about...

529
00:31:40,450 --> 00:31:41,609
killing her?

530
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:50,019
You wretched girl,

531
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:51,890
you brought this on yourself!

532
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,839
Don't blame me.

533
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:57,170
Didn't you practice martial arts before?

534
00:31:57,170 --> 00:31:58,089
Kill her.

535
00:31:58,819 --> 00:32:00,119
Go!

536
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:05,970
Since you all love jokes so much,

537
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,660
let's make a joke too.

538
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,359
You guys are so close.

539
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:12,740
I'd like to see

540
00:32:13,259 --> 00:32:14,759
who is willing...

541
00:32:15,779 --> 00:32:17,279
to die for her.

542
00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:19,490
I don't believe
you have the nerve to kill someone!

543
00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:22,150
Of course I don't have the nerve
to kill a person.

544
00:32:22,529 --> 00:32:23,650
But an animal—

545
00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:25,059
it's hard to say!

546
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:27,180
What do you want?

547
00:32:27,180 --> 00:32:27,900
As long as we have it,

548
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:28,759
we'll give it to you!

549
00:32:28,759 --> 00:32:30,619
I made myself very clear just now.

550
00:32:41,779 --> 00:32:42,579
Xiang Dong.

551
00:32:42,609 --> 00:32:43,410
Xiang Dong,

552
00:32:43,579 --> 00:32:44,710
we are good friends.

553
00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:46,640
When you first
joined the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau,

554
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,319
I always took good care of you.

555
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:49,440
Now,

556
00:32:49,460 --> 00:32:51,059
it's time for you to repay me.

557
00:32:52,099 --> 00:32:52,920
Xiang Ling.

558
00:32:52,940 --> 00:32:53,660
Actually,

559
00:32:54,019 --> 00:32:55,980
we aren't that close.

560
00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:00,759
What did you say?

561
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:03,779
When I first
joined the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau,

562
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,440
you always bullied me.

563
00:33:07,049 --> 00:33:08,849
Every time you bullied someone,

564
00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:11,509
you demanded I must be on your side.

565
00:33:11,730 --> 00:33:13,630
When did you ever treat me as a friend?

566
00:33:13,630 --> 00:33:15,910
Clearly, you've always treated me
as your lackey.

567
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:17,170
If you want to kill her,

568
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:18,480
just do it!

569
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,339
I've long disliked her!

570
00:33:20,779 --> 00:33:22,180
Killing someone like her

571
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:24,509
is getting rid of the evil for the people!

572
00:33:24,910 --> 00:33:25,700
You wretched girl!

573
00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:26,339
Xiang Dong!

574
00:33:26,339 --> 00:33:26,980
Where are you going?

575
00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:27,700
You wretched girl!

576
00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:28,700
Come back!

577
00:33:29,059 --> 00:33:29,700
Director Zhou.

578
00:33:29,700 --> 00:33:30,700
Don't call me!

579
00:33:31,269 --> 00:33:33,670
You are just a lowly maid.

580
00:33:33,910 --> 00:33:34,710
What?

581
00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:37,000
Do you think
I'll take your life seriously?

582
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,930
Director Zhou.

583
00:33:38,980 --> 00:33:39,779
Miss,

584
00:33:40,589 --> 00:33:42,029
do whatever...

585
00:33:43,089 --> 00:33:43,990
you want!

586
00:33:44,049 --> 00:33:45,250
Director Zhou!

587
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:50,819
These friends of yours

588
00:33:50,890 --> 00:33:52,690
really are not as good as Xiaofu.

589
00:33:53,220 --> 00:33:54,380
Please.

590
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,390
Don't... Don't kill me.

591
00:33:56,410 --> 00:33:57,509
You are

592
00:33:58,130 --> 00:34:00,410
worthless in your friends' eyes.

593
00:34:01,250 --> 00:34:02,210
Now, I...

594
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:05,250
can't even bear to kill you.

595
00:34:28,530 --> 00:34:29,389
How come you...

596
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:35,840
Why did you do that to me?

597
00:34:36,619 --> 00:34:38,280
I didn't bully you.

598
00:34:44,099 --> 00:34:46,079
You two bastards!

599
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:00,480
Third Uncle,

600
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:01,789
this window is so heavy.

601
00:35:01,789 --> 00:35:03,389
I can't carry it much longer.

602
00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:04,829
Tell me,

603
00:35:05,579 --> 00:35:07,909
why did you insist on catching assassins?

604
00:35:08,099 --> 00:35:09,429
Look at us. When can we...

605
00:35:09,429 --> 00:35:11,679
ever stop doing this?

606
00:35:12,559 --> 00:35:13,440
How about this?

607
00:35:13,619 --> 00:35:15,440
You go beg Chief for mercy.

608
00:35:15,469 --> 00:35:16,150
Okay?

609
00:35:19,420 --> 00:35:20,940
I'll kill you!

610
00:35:22,610 --> 00:35:23,590
Assassins!

611
00:35:23,619 --> 00:35:24,179
Guards!

612
00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:25,639
Assassins!

613
00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:26,130
Guards!

614
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:26,800
Assassins!

615
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,110
Assassins!

616
00:35:28,139 --> 00:35:28,980
There really are assassins!

617
00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:30,360
Over there!

618
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,800
Assassins!

619
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,409
Finally, we've got assassins!

620
00:35:33,409 --> 00:35:34,289
Assassins!

621
00:35:35,139 --> 00:35:37,280
Assassins!

622
00:35:55,670 --> 00:35:56,800
Does it still smell?

623
00:35:56,860 --> 00:35:57,889
Yes.

624
00:35:59,710 --> 00:36:01,210
The smell of a dragon.

625
00:36:04,820 --> 00:36:05,760
Your Highness,

626
00:36:06,219 --> 00:36:08,340
last time, His Grace repeated your words

627
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:10,619
exactly as they were.

628
00:36:10,780 --> 00:36:14,039
It must be because
that bitch Huo Xiangjiu informed on you.

629
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,809
One day,
I'll find an opportunity to kill her

630
00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:18,860
to avenge you.

631
00:36:19,090 --> 00:36:20,449
If she dies now,

632
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,880
how will Father think of me?

633
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:26,679
Find a perfect way...

634
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:29,179
to get rid of her.

635
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:31,039
But Your Highness,

636
00:36:31,139 --> 00:36:33,800
do you truly plan
to keep Song Yicheng by your side?

637
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,679
He is not someone easy to deal with.

638
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:37,260
Your Highness...

639
00:36:37,260 --> 00:36:38,420
Isn't that better?

640
00:36:39,090 --> 00:36:41,019
Let him stay by Gongsun Hao's side,

641
00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:43,590
accompanying him at all times.

642
00:36:44,059 --> 00:36:46,460
Then Gongsun Wugui will have no choice
but to work diligently for me

643
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:48,710
day and night, with utmost caution.

644
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:52,960
Your Highness, you truly know
how to make the best use of everything.

645
00:36:53,619 --> 00:36:54,480
Your Highness.

646
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:58,949
Here is the record
of the Princess Consort's activities today.

647
00:36:59,309 --> 00:37:01,559
She went to the Kunning Palace
to see Old Madam.

648
00:37:01,559 --> 00:37:03,199
She said a total of 27 sentences,

649
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:04,079
365 words,

650
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:05,360
to Old Madam.

651
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:09,420
The Princess Consort knelt
and paid respects to Old Madam.

652
00:37:09,420 --> 00:37:10,500
Old Madam asked,

653
00:37:11,210 --> 00:37:12,650
"how have you been?"

654
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,659
The Princess Consort answered,

655
00:37:14,659 --> 00:37:15,880
"thanks to your blessing,

656
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,340
everything's been fine."

657
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:18,800
Old Madam asked,

658
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,519
"you look much more haggard.

659
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:22,840
Is there anything

660
00:37:22,860 --> 00:37:25,059
that upsets you in the Eastern Palace?"

661
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:27,440
The Princess Consort answered,

662
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,960
"nothing upsets me."

663
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,519
When she went to see Mother,

664
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:33,449
was she wearing makeup?

665
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:49,159
Why did you let Mother see
how haggard you were?

666
00:37:49,349 --> 00:37:50,869
You told me to go

667
00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:54,409
to the Kunning Palace
to pay respects to Mother every 3 days.

668
00:37:54,409 --> 00:37:56,010
Today is the day.

669
00:37:56,119 --> 00:37:57,719
Of course I should go.

670
00:37:58,199 --> 00:37:58,940
I don't know

671
00:37:58,940 --> 00:38:01,119
how Mother noticed I looked haggard.

672
00:38:01,909 --> 00:38:03,349
You did it on purpose.

673
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,219
You deliberately let Mother see
how haggard you were,

674
00:38:06,219 --> 00:38:08,739
making her think I didn't treat you well!

675
00:38:09,219 --> 00:38:10,179
I didn't.

676
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,679
I didn't.

677
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:14,039
I treat you so well.

678
00:38:14,699 --> 00:38:16,300
Why did you do that to me?

679
00:38:16,940 --> 00:38:17,780
Why?

680
00:38:24,949 --> 00:38:25,960
Chief!

681
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:26,840
Chief!

682
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,920
Move aside!

683
00:38:35,349 --> 00:38:37,760
His Majesty ordered me
to come and take a look.

684
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,559
So it's true!

685
00:38:39,170 --> 00:38:40,130
Your Highness,

686
00:38:40,329 --> 00:38:43,369
you've truly broadened my horizons.

687
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:44,559
Chief Steward Sun,

688
00:38:45,409 --> 00:38:46,739
it's not what you think.

689
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,139
Get ready for His Majesty's oral decree.

690
00:38:49,219 --> 00:38:52,079
-Chief Steward Sun!
-Get ready for the oral decree!

691
00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:07,579
Prince Fuying

692
00:39:08,059 --> 00:39:11,260
has always prided himself on benevolence,
filial piety, and virtue.

693
00:39:11,260 --> 00:39:12,340
Recently, I heard

694
00:39:12,340 --> 00:39:14,980
he has mistreated his wife
and acted unscrupulously.

695
00:39:14,980 --> 00:39:16,460
I don't know if it's true.

696
00:39:16,780 --> 00:39:19,280
To prevent further rumors from spreading,

697
00:39:19,820 --> 00:39:20,780
I hereby grant

698
00:39:20,780 --> 00:39:22,980
the Princess Consort a decree of favor.

699
00:39:23,179 --> 00:39:23,840
From now on,

700
00:39:24,179 --> 00:39:26,340
if Prince Fuying harms her
in the slightest,

701
00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:27,809
it will be as if he harms me!

702
00:39:30,860 --> 00:39:31,980
Your Highness,

703
00:39:32,179 --> 00:39:33,739
His Majesty also said if you

704
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:36,179
suffer any grievance in the future,

705
00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:38,460
you must tell him.

706
00:39:38,829 --> 00:39:41,789
He is not just the Emperor.

707
00:39:41,820 --> 00:39:43,550
He's also your father-in-law.

708
00:39:44,539 --> 00:39:46,000
There are some matters...

709
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:48,860
that even Father can't handle.

710
00:39:48,860 --> 00:39:49,980
In this world,

711
00:39:49,980 --> 00:39:52,849
is there anything
that His Majesty can't handle?

712
00:39:57,039 --> 00:39:58,900
If Father really wants to help me,

713
00:39:59,139 --> 00:40:01,159
please allow me...

714
00:40:03,460 --> 00:40:05,440
to divorce the Crown Prince.

715
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:21,500
Show yourself.

716
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:24,840
Show yourself!

717
00:40:27,980 --> 00:40:30,780
It's not raining.
Why are you holding an umbrella?

718
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:31,960
My style today:

719
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,079
elegant.

720
00:40:36,789 --> 00:40:38,260
Leaving your back to your enemy—

721
00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:39,320
you're quite bold.

722
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,159
What's wrong with that?

723
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:43,280
I have you.

724
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:45,239
Are you sure I'll help you?

725
00:40:47,099 --> 00:40:48,690
I'm 100% sure.

726
00:40:51,019 --> 00:40:51,820
Why?

727
00:40:53,539 --> 00:40:54,340
I don't know.

728
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,519
I just...

729
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:58,119
trust you...

730
00:40:58,880 --> 00:40:59,800
for no reason.

731
00:41:01,250 --> 00:41:02,670
Actually,

732
00:41:02,699 --> 00:41:04,389
when I first saw you,

733
00:41:04,590 --> 00:41:06,530
I felt somehow familiar.

734
00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:12,280
Have we met before?

735
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,440
Qiaoru?

736
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,159
Qiaoru's spirit and body
have been utterly destroyed.

737
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:39,820
This is her lingering shadow.

738
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:42,400
That's right.

739
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:44,019
I'm her lingering shadow.

740
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,239
Miss Xiangjiu,

741
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,800
did your father

742
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,900
disappear 2 years ago?

743
00:41:55,539 --> 00:41:56,519
Let me tell you.

744
00:41:56,519 --> 00:41:57,599
Two years ago,

745
00:41:57,619 --> 00:42:00,900
I saw a very, very suspicious,
strange man in the palace.

746
00:42:01,260 --> 00:42:03,619
Although he was
wearing eunuchs' clothes,

747
00:42:03,619 --> 00:42:06,019
he clearly wasn't someone from the palace.

748
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,119
I saw him...

749
00:42:08,860 --> 00:42:10,820
enter a very terrifying,

750
00:42:11,619 --> 00:42:12,539
very,

751
00:42:12,849 --> 00:42:14,650
very terrifying place.

752
00:42:14,969 --> 00:42:17,030
You must never go there, understand?

753
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,559
What is that place?

754
00:42:21,380 --> 00:42:22,599
It's...
