Gongsun Hao.

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,199
You left early that day,

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,699
so you missed it entirely.

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,279
Brother Fuying

5
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:16,379
spoke highly of me.

6
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:17,699
He also said

7
00:00:17,699 --> 00:00:20,219
he would entrust me with important
responsibilities in the future.

8
00:00:20,219 --> 00:00:23,070
At the very least, I'd be appointed
as a first-rank official.

9
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:23,890
As for you,

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,109
just be obedient to me.

11
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:25,910
In the future,

12
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:27,800
I might even let you be my footman.

13
00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:31,170
Mr. Song,

14
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:33,429
I heard you injured your back.

15
00:00:33,460 --> 00:00:34,679
Were you injured

16
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,600
by Princess Ningshuang?

17
00:00:41,659 --> 00:00:44,380
I got injured
from my last sword practice.

18
00:00:44,929 --> 00:00:46,890
Every horse might fumble,

19
00:00:47,179 --> 00:00:48,780
and every man might stumble.

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,770
My martial arts skills
are quite impressive.

21
00:00:53,969 --> 00:00:54,770
Someday,

22
00:00:54,899 --> 00:00:56,359
I'll show you what I can do.

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,359
Stop!

24
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:02,939
It's that damn girl again.

25
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,920
After all that searching,
she falls right into my lap!

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,599
This is our chance to earn some merit!

27
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:08,439
Kill her!

28
00:01:14,769 --> 00:01:15,629
Where are they?

29
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:18,569
You wretched girl!

30
00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:20,349
Song Yicheng!

31
00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:21,530
Don't run!

32
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,120
My Lord.

33
00:01:46,390 --> 00:01:47,870
How could a perfectly fine person

34
00:01:47,870 --> 00:01:49,870
vanish into thin air just like that?

35
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:52,579
Gongsun Hao,

36
00:01:52,939 --> 00:01:54,069

00:03:42,939 --> 00:03:45,539
Why is it suddenly daytime already?

42
00:03:45,539 --> 00:03:47,340
It's the Illusory Flower Woods.

43
00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:50,939
It's so beautiful.

I don't know what's been wrong lately.

45
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:12,460
Strange visions keep flashing
before my eyes.

46
00:04:15,550 --> 00:04:17,829
Did you see that shadowy figure just now?

47
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:21,759
It seemed to be a woman.

48
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:23,949
A woman?

49
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:33,139
Yes.

50
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,629
That must have been a woman.

51
00:04:35,658 --> 00:04:38,180
Does she have some unresolved wish?

52
00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:40,060
If she does have some unresolved wish,

53
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:41,180
she should have come to you.

54
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:43,199
Why did she go
to Ningshuang Palace instead?

55
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:44,079
I said

56
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,879
she might be a woman.

57
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:49,079
You mean...

58
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:51,620
she's human?

59
00:04:56,259 --> 00:04:57,519
At Ningshuang Palace,

60
00:04:58,079 --> 00:04:59,420
has anyone seen her?

61
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,160
Yes.

62
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:03,339
Right.

63
00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:05,350
She's human,

64
00:05:06,209 --> 00:05:08,470
so people can see her.

65
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:13,910
If she's human,
then this is much easier to handle.

66
00:05:16,379 --> 00:05:17,709
Is your stomach aching?

67
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,860
Sit down for a rest.

68
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,939
Maybe I ran too fast just now.

69
00:05:35,629 --> 00:05:37,889
You need to take care of yourself lately.

70
00:05:37,970 --> 00:05:40,329
Don't make your fiancé worried.

71
00:05:44,579 --> 00:05:47,300
You were right there beside me just now?

72
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,240
Are you

73
00:05:51,658 --> 00:05:52,399
jealous?

74
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,500
What does it have to do with me?

75
00:05:56,389 --> 00:05:57,519
You're not jealous?

76
00:05:57,579 --> 00:05:58,379
No.

77
00:05:59,649 --> 00:06:01,269
You are jealous!

78
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,480
No.

79
00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:13,040
He looks so cute when he's jealous,

80
00:06:13,069 --> 00:06:14,430
like a softshell

81
00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:18,029
turtle.

82
00:06:25,329 --> 00:06:26,379
Softshell turtle,

83
00:06:26,379 --> 00:06:27,980
I think I heard someone calling you.

84
00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:28,939
I'm a turtle,

85
00:06:28,939 --> 00:06:30,100
not a softshell turtle.

86
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:31,259
Same difference.

87
00:06:31,259 --> 00:06:32,300
Of course it's different.

88
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,540
Softshell turtles
belong to the Trionychidae family,

89
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:34,819
while turtles belong
to the Testudinidae family.

90
00:06:34,819 --> 00:06:36,019
A softshell turtle has a pointed head.

91
00:06:36,019 --> 00:06:37,540
A turtle has a rounded head.

92
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:39,139
Turtles are gentle by nature.

93
00:06:39,139 --> 00:06:40,339
Softshell turtles are short-tempered.

94
00:06:40,339 --> 00:06:42,220
But you really
do look like a softshell turtle.

95
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:43,939
I already told you I'm a turtle!

96
00:06:43,939 --> 00:06:45,259
You've slipped up.

97
00:06:45,259 --> 00:06:48,720
You just said the short-tempered one
is the softshell turtle.

98
00:06:50,699 --> 00:06:52,449
Your Highness!

99
00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:57,480
I heard many guards running outside.

100
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,189
There seems to be an assassin.

101
00:06:58,189 --> 00:06:59,250
Please be careful.

102
00:06:59,908 --> 00:07:00,829
An assassin?

103
00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:07,439
Don't follow me.

104
00:07:23,579 --> 00:07:25,740
Your Highness, why are you here?

105
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,819
Where is Huo Xiangjiu?

106
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:29,540
She...

107
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,879
She...

108
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:38,379
Who is it?

109
00:07:41,810 --> 00:07:42,689
Right here.

110
00:07:45,329 --> 00:07:46,189
Your Highness,

111
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:48,480
why are you here?

112
00:07:48,658 --> 00:07:49,658
Huo Xiangjiu,

113
00:07:50,009 --> 00:07:50,709
come out.

114
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,740
Didn't Xiangjiu just go out?

115
00:08:01,970 --> 00:08:03,750
How did she pop out of the room?

116
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,959
You're the one the assassin is after,
aren't you?

117
00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:14,430
Your Highness, you must be joking.

118
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:16,470
I've been resting in my room all along.

119
00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:17,889
I never stepped out.

120
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:20,699
You didn't go out?

121
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:21,990
No.

122
00:08:47,370 --> 00:08:49,769
I just love

123
00:08:49,789 --> 00:08:53,269
sleeping with flowers on my head.

124
00:08:53,740 --> 00:08:55,070
Got a problem with that?

125
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,960
Huo Xiangjiu,

126
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,960
let's be frank with each other.

127
00:08:58,169 --> 00:08:59,129
Are you really

128
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,100
capable of helping me
reconcile with my mother?

129
00:09:02,659 --> 00:09:04,049
Heroes are not judged by their origins.

130
00:09:04,049 --> 00:09:05,649
I have my own ways to help you.

131
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:08,320
Your Highness, if you didn't believe me,

132
00:09:08,419 --> 00:09:11,480
you wouldn't have brought me here
late at night, right?

133
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,320
Lord Feng said

134
00:09:13,340 --> 00:09:15,200
I can get what I want from you,

135
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,559
and you can get what you want from me.

136
00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:21,500
I don't know how capable you truly are,

137
00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:22,620
so for now,

138
00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:23,639
I'll give it a try.

139
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,639
However,

140
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:27,529
as a condition of our exchange,

141
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:28,740
you must tell me

142
00:09:29,049 --> 00:09:30,470
what exactly you want.

143
00:09:37,429 --> 00:09:38,629
In the Fucang Palace,

144
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:41,190
the two missing pages
from the Ganquan Register

145
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:42,720
were torn out by you, right?

146
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,580
What was actually written on them?

147
00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:01,980
Just for this?

148
00:10:02,539 --> 00:10:03,340
Yes!

149
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:04,440
Good.

150
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:08,259
Once you've settled the matters
between my mother and me,

151
00:10:08,259 --> 00:10:11,059
I will certainly tell you everything
truthfully.

152
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:16,620
Your Highness, I hope
you won't go back on your word.

153
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:17,730
I am a princess.

154
00:10:18,049 --> 00:10:19,830
A princess never lies.

155
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:23,320
Good.

156
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,179
It's a deal.

157
00:10:25,779 --> 00:10:26,909
Deal.

158
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:43,159
I've cast an invisibility spell on this.

159
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:44,740
As long as you hold it in your hand,

160
00:10:44,740 --> 00:10:46,200
you'll become invisible,

161
00:10:46,460 --> 00:10:47,460
unseen by anyone.

162
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:48,159
Wow!

163
00:10:48,779 --> 00:10:51,710
If you have such skill,
why didn't you use it earlier?

164
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:54,480
This spell drains
a great deal of vital energy.

165
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:58,159
You don't even go near women.

166
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,600
What do you need so much vital energy for?

167
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,200
It drains your vital energy.

168
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:06,230
Perhaps I should think of another way.

169
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:07,179
No!

170
00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:08,909
This one is good.

171
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,279
I'm young and healthy.

172
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:12,659
Just tell me

173
00:11:12,659 --> 00:11:13,419
how to use it.

174
00:11:20,899 --> 00:11:21,909
Old Fox!

175
00:11:25,779 --> 00:11:27,580
This is the invisibility spell.

176
00:11:30,379 --> 00:11:32,059
That's amazing.

177
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,019
With this,

178
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:38,850
I will be invincible!

179
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:45,840
Old Fox,

180
00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:46,960
you can't see me?

181
00:11:49,129 --> 00:11:50,570
You really can't see me.

182
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:04,899
You can see me?

183
00:12:05,309 --> 00:12:06,429
For some people,

184
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,919

00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:23,159
To prove I'm brave!

192
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:25,879
Why do you need to prove you're brave?

193
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:27,379
Then

194
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:29,490
Xiangjiu will tell me her secret.

195
00:12:30,820 --> 00:12:33,220
Actually, her secret is quite terrifying.

196
00:12:34,289 --> 00:12:35,169
Her secret

197
00:12:37,789 --> 00:12:39,080
indeed will scare you.

198
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:44,960
So even you know what it is?

199
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,399
I suppose so!

200
00:12:51,019 --> 00:12:52,299
Then tell me now.

201
00:12:56,379 --> 00:12:58,580
I already told you I'm very brave.

202
00:12:58,980 --> 00:12:59,629
If you don't believe me,

203
00:12:59,629 --> 00:13:01,600
you can try to scare me with anything.

204
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,720
If I get scared,

205
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,399
I'll never ask about it again.

206
00:13:05,409 --> 00:13:06,470
Let's just drop it.

207
00:13:06,860 --> 00:13:07,960
Come on, tell me.

208
00:13:09,809 --> 00:13:10,450
Then would you dare

209
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:11,240
to kiss a man?

210
00:13:17,029 --> 00:13:17,669
But

211
00:13:18,269 --> 00:13:20,250
men and women
should not interact improperly.

212
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:20,820
Scared now, aren't you?

213
00:13:20,820 --> 00:13:21,460
Just as I said,

214
00:13:21,460 --> 00:13:22,259
actually, many things

215
00:13:22,259 --> 00:13:23,759
are better left unknown.

216
00:13:23,779 --> 00:13:24,740
Why do you need to know them?

217
00:13:24,740 --> 00:13:25,529
Knowing them won't do you any good.

218
00:13:25,529 --> 00:13:26,139
Right?

219
00:13:32,929 --> 00:13:34,059
Fine, I'll kiss you!

220
00:13:59,820 --> 00:14:00,700
My apologies

221
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,259
for the interruption.

222
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,379
Attendant Bai!

223
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:06,399
No.

224
00:14:24,259 --> 00:14:25,149
Lady Zhao,

225
00:14:25,179 --> 00:14:26,340
the royal physician has told you

226
00:14:26,340 --> 00:14:27,779
to walk slowly and take care of yourself.

227
00:14:27,779 --> 00:14:28,360
It's no big deal.

228
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,490
I'm perfectly fine.

229
00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:31,299
Watch how I ruin

230
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:33,600
that wretched One Bam this time.

231
00:14:34,289 --> 00:14:35,250
Lady Zhao,

232
00:14:35,299 --> 00:14:37,320
will Prince Fuying believe us?

233
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,289
Why wouldn't he?

234
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:39,460
I heard

235
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:42,029
that last time at Fucang Palace,

236
00:14:42,049 --> 00:14:43,740
she made a fool of Prince Fuying.

237
00:14:43,740 --> 00:14:45,500
As long as we let Prince Fuying know

238
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,860
that One Bam snuck into the palace
with ulterior motives,

239
00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:49,360
even if he doesn't skin her alive,

240
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,059
he'll at least kick her out of the palace!

241
00:14:51,059 --> 00:14:53,659
But I just accidentally overheard this

242
00:14:53,659 --> 00:14:55,360
when she was chatting with Le Ning.

243
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,620
We have no solid proof.

244
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:57,700
It doesn't matter!

245
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,679
It never hurts to take a shot!

246
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:01,679
Hold me steady!

247
00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:04,500
With Prince Fuying's abilities,

248
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:05,899
finding evidence will be easy for him.

249
00:15:05,899 --> 00:15:06,539
Let's go.

250
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,700
Let's hurry to the Eastern Palace

251
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:09,049
and get rid of her once and for all!

252
00:15:09,049 --> 00:15:09,850
Move faster!

253
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,669
I can't let her go like this.

254
00:15:15,669 --> 00:15:17,200
I need to come up with a plan.

255
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:21,159
I've got it.

256
00:15:23,019 --> 00:15:24,929
{\an8}[Eastern Palace]

257
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,330
Greetings, Your Highness.

258
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:41,289
I'm told that you have a secret
about Huo Xiangjiu

259
00:15:41,289 --> 00:15:42,330
to tell me.

260
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,679
Yes.

261
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,179
I guarantee
it will surprise Your Highness.

262
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:02,919
What are you looking for?

263
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:04,950
Your Highness,

264
00:16:05,379 --> 00:16:06,220
Huo Xiangjiu

265
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:07,620
works for Lord Feng.

266
00:16:07,950 --> 00:16:09,399
Lord Feng is incredibly powerful.

267
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:10,120
Once,

268
00:16:10,149 --> 00:16:11,960
he suddenly landed on my shoulders.

269
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,960
I'm worried

270
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,190
that the walls have ears.

271
00:16:19,580 --> 00:16:20,909
Come closer and tell me.

272
00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:22,259
Yes.

273
00:16:37,539 --> 00:16:38,340
Speak.

274
00:16:40,379 --> 00:16:41,460
Your Highness.

275
00:16:41,830 --> 00:16:43,830
Huo Xiangjiu entered the palace...

276
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,860
I never thought

277
00:16:49,009 --> 00:16:51,940
His Highness asked me to come closer
for this reason.

278
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:54,799
I truly am a stunning beauty.

279
00:16:54,820 --> 00:16:57,500
Even His Highness can't resist my charm.

280
00:17:01,139 --> 00:17:02,799
Are you going to tell me or not?

281
00:17:03,659 --> 00:17:04,618
Your Highness,

282
00:17:05,318 --> 00:17:06,578
you're so distracted.

283
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,759
How am I supposed to speak properly?

284
00:17:12,108 --> 00:17:12,890
Just speak.

285
00:17:19,848 --> 00:17:21,029
You're terrible.

286
00:17:21,059 --> 00:17:21,980
If you keep this up,

287
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:23,640
I won't say another word.

288
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,029
Lady Zhao, are you making a fool of me?

289
00:17:26,059 --> 00:17:26,980
Do I really need

290
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,180
to spell out what you've done?

291
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:30,740
Could it be

292
00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:33,490
that she knows I harassed Huo Xiangjiu?

293
00:17:35,420 --> 00:17:36,480
You mean…

294
00:17:37,950 --> 00:17:39,230
that incident?

295
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:41,900
Your Highness, this kind of matter

296
00:17:43,109 --> 00:17:45,269
is better left unspoken.

297
00:17:45,339 --> 00:17:46,200
Saying it aloud

298
00:17:46,710 --> 00:17:48,440
would be utterly humiliating.

299
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:52,299
Lady Zhao, you came here

300
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:54,680
just for this matter?

301
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:55,960
Of course not.

302
00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:57,779
However,

303
00:17:57,859 --> 00:17:59,019
since things have come to this point,

304
00:17:59,019 --> 00:18:00,480
I won't hold back anymore.

305
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,200
Lady Zhao!

306
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:04,269
Are you trying to use these rumors

307
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,740
to threaten me?

308
00:18:05,890 --> 00:18:07,069
How dare you!

309
00:18:07,089 --> 00:18:07,809
Listen up!

310
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,819
Even if you spread this story everywhere,

311
00:18:10,819 --> 00:18:12,150
no one will believe you!

312
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,960
Your Highness!

313
00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:18,920
The people from the
Imperial Servants Bureau saw her come in.

314
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,960
If she dies here,

315
00:18:19,980 --> 00:18:22,269
I'm afraid it won't be easy for us
to explain this later.

316
00:18:22,269 --> 00:18:23,130
Your Highness.

317
00:18:25,069 --> 00:18:25,809
Your Highness...

318
00:18:25,809 --> 00:18:26,740
I'm warning you.

319
00:18:27,269 --> 00:18:28,950
If word of this gets out,

320
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,660
I will definitely have you

321
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,500
cut into a thousand pieces!

322
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:34,119
Spare me, Your Highness!

323
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:34,599
Guards!

324
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:35,180
Throw her out!

325
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:36,279
I won't dare
to have improper thoughts again!

326
00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,960
I won't dare
to have improper thoughts again!

327
00:18:38,980 --> 00:18:40,420
Spare me, Your Highness!

328
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,039
Please spare me, Your Highness!

329
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:45,529
Lady Zhao, don't blame me.

330
00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:47,819
You just got a taste of your own medicine!

331
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,640
Your Highness, please don't be angry.

332
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,859
That Lady Zhao is far too bold,

333
00:18:53,890 --> 00:18:56,240
daring to act so recklessly
in the Eastern Palace.

334
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,119
Gao Wei.

335
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:57,559
Yes.

336
00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:00,500
Huo Xiangjiu used to be work
at the Imperial Servants Bureau, right?

337
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,500
That seems right.

338
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:03,170
Ask Gongsun Wugui

339
00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:05,910
to look into her background.

340
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,349
{\an8}[Kunning Palace]

341
00:19:32,150 --> 00:19:33,190
It's her!

342
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,799
Why is she in Kunning Palace?

343
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,829
Greetings, Old Madam.

344
00:19:37,829 --> 00:19:38,829
Madam Chen?

345
00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:42,589
She is the Old Madam?

346
00:19:44,529 --> 00:19:46,849
If that shadowy figure was the Old Madam,

347
00:19:47,269 --> 00:19:49,400
why would she go to Ningshuang Palace?

348
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:58,819
How has Ningshuang been lately?

349
00:19:58,839 --> 00:19:59,839
She's doing well,

350
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,220
though she was rather displeased

351
00:20:02,299 --> 00:20:04,430
at not being summoned by you last time.

352
00:20:05,279 --> 00:20:05,940
Have a seat.

353
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:11,839
Old Madam,

354
00:20:12,059 --> 00:20:13,920
do you really not want to meet her?

355
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:16,720
You know

356
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,519
what would happen if I met her.

357
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,839
I won't meet her.

358
00:20:22,509 --> 00:20:24,109
Just let her hate me.

359
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:26,990
So the Old Madam truly has hidden reasons.

360
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,519
Madam Chen,

361
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,690
thank you for your hard work

362
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:35,400
all these years.

363
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,170
Old Madam, why say such things?

364
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:40,569
Back then, it was only
because you trusted me

365
00:20:40,569 --> 00:20:43,289
that you asked me
to take care of Princess Ningshuang.

366
00:20:43,289 --> 00:20:45,119
I'm even worried
that I haven't done my job well,

367
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,380
ruining Princess Ningshuang's future.

368
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:50,200
Why do you even speak
of ruining her future?

369
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:51,940
Now, Ningshuang

370
00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:53,180
can distinguish right from wrong

371
00:20:53,180 --> 00:20:54,579
and is skilled
in both literary and martial arts.

372
00:20:54,579 --> 00:20:57,130
This is all thanks to your teaching.

373
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,950
In Ningshuang's eyes,

374
00:20:59,059 --> 00:21:00,339
you have long been

375
00:21:00,339 --> 00:21:02,019
her mother.

376
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:03,700
I wouldn't dare!

377
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:05,789
I would never dare to overstep my bounds!

378
00:21:05,789 --> 00:21:07,190
Oh, look at you.

379
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,079
I didn't mean anything by it.

380
00:21:09,250 --> 00:21:10,250
Get up now.

381
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,259
I have never fulfilled my duty
as a mother.

382
00:21:19,519 --> 00:21:21,720
How could I dare to hope that Ningshuang

383
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:24,200
would regard me as her mother?

384
00:21:24,369 --> 00:21:25,720
All the motherly love she has got

385
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,359
comes from you.

386
00:21:28,660 --> 00:21:29,619
Old Madam,

387
00:21:29,970 --> 00:21:33,099
are you sure you don't want
to meet Princess Ningshuang?

388
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,079
Forget it.

389
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,569
Let's not talk about this anymore.

390
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,160
I'm feeling a little tired.

391
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,759
I'd like to rest for a while.

392
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:47,440
Then I

393
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,680
shall take my leave.

394
00:21:49,779 --> 00:21:51,910
Just what hidden reason could there be

395
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:54,059
to abandon one's own child?

396
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,119
That's not right.

397
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,579
If the Old Madam had abandoned
Princess Ningshuang,

398
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:02,509
then why would she have gone

399
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:04,519
to Ningshuang Palace at night?

400
00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:08,660
She certainly didn't go

401
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:10,720
to Ningshuang Palace for Madam Chen.

402
00:22:10,779 --> 00:22:13,309
She can summon Madam Chen
anytime she wishes.

403
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:18,059
Could it be

404
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,900
for Princess Ningshuang?

405
00:22:37,059 --> 00:22:38,069
You...

406
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:49,960
I am...

407
00:22:50,069 --> 00:22:51,549
A flower spirit?

408
00:22:54,980 --> 00:22:56,940
You're so adorable

409
00:22:56,970 --> 00:22:58,329
and you know magic.

410
00:22:58,730 --> 00:23:00,450
You must be a flower spirit.

411
00:23:03,099 --> 00:23:05,009
Old Madam,

412
00:23:05,150 --> 00:23:06,789
you flatter me.

413
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,579
How could I be a flower spirit?

414
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,220
A fairy.

415
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:15,480
A heavenly

416
00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:16,660
fairy.

417
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,240
I never imagined

418
00:23:20,859 --> 00:23:23,779
that immortals actually
exist in this world.

419
00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:25,279
Come here. Have a seat.

420
00:23:25,420 --> 00:23:26,430
Have a seat.

421
00:23:26,779 --> 00:23:27,400
All right.

422
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:35,490
In my life,

423
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:37,779
it is such a rare blessing
to meet a fairy.

424
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:41,700
I haven't prepared any welcome gift.

425
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:45,099
If you don't deem them unworthy,

426
00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:47,029
I'd like to give you

427
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:48,579
these jewelry pieces.

428
00:23:49,289 --> 00:23:51,680
This is too much.

429
00:23:52,380 --> 00:23:54,180
We've just met,

430
00:23:54,210 --> 00:23:56,670
and you're giving me
such valuable jewelry.

431
00:23:57,420 --> 00:23:58,079
Perhaps

432
00:23:58,079 --> 00:23:59,279
I should also give you something

433
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:00,140
in return.

434
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,599
Yes, please!

435
00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:08,470
You actually want it?

436
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,559
Of course.

437
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:12,410
A gift from a fairy

438
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:14,740
must be extraordinary.

439
00:24:16,859 --> 00:24:18,019
Then, I...

440
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:19,750
I'll give you...

441
00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:21,259
I'll give you...

442
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:23,670
I'll give you a...

443
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,269
blessing.

444
00:24:25,710 --> 00:24:27,509
A blessing from a fairy

445
00:24:27,660 --> 00:24:28,859
is very efficacious.

446
00:24:29,299 --> 00:24:30,900
Since it's efficacious,

447
00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:33,710
then why not

448
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,480
give this blessing

449
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,079
to Ningshuang?

450
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:40,900
May Ningshuang

451
00:24:41,579 --> 00:24:43,299
enjoy health and peace

452
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:44,599
and

453
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:47,349
be happy every single day.

454
00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:54,529
Old Madam.

455
00:24:55,140 --> 00:24:55,559
Old...

456
00:24:56,140 --> 00:24:56,980
Old Ma...

457
00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:59,619
People all say

458
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:02,559
that in your earlier years,

459
00:25:02,589 --> 00:25:05,019
you nearly died in childbirth.

460
00:25:05,140 --> 00:25:05,900
Because of this,

461
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:08,660
you grew distant from Princess Ningshuang,

462
00:25:09,390 --> 00:25:12,109
refusing to see her for decades.

463
00:25:12,869 --> 00:25:14,670
But from what I witnessed today,

464
00:25:15,059 --> 00:25:17,349
you still care deeply

465
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:20,430
about Princess Ningshuang.

466
00:25:22,410 --> 00:25:23,890
Actually,

467
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,259
I...

468
00:25:30,579 --> 00:25:32,619
bring misfortune to Ningshuang.

469
00:25:32,650 --> 00:25:34,950
If I come into contact with Ningshuang,

470
00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:37,789
the consequences that befall her
will range

471
00:25:37,789 --> 00:25:38,960
from minor injuries to severe illness.

472
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,619
It happens every single time.

473
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,359
I am...

474
00:25:44,349 --> 00:25:45,549
a jinx to her.

475
00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:50,529
So when I miss Ningshuang,

476
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:54,299
I can only sneak to Ningshuang Palace
late at night

477
00:25:54,859 --> 00:25:56,819
and watch her from afar.

478
00:25:58,220 --> 00:25:59,059
So,

479
00:25:59,940 --> 00:26:02,299
the evil spirit they mentioned...

480
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,940
was...

481
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,119
you?

482
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:07,460
Then,

483
00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:08,440
they said

484
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,759
in the outhouse...

485
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,799
I'm embarrassed to admit it.

486
00:26:18,579 --> 00:26:19,380
That night,

487
00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:24,599
when I was watching Ningshuang
from a distance,

488
00:26:25,660 --> 00:26:27,220
I suddenly felt

489
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:28,140
a dull ache

490
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,579
in my abdomen.

491
00:26:47,829 --> 00:26:49,569
Help me...

492
00:26:53,069 --> 00:26:54,099
Oh my goodness!

493
00:26:54,369 --> 00:26:55,930
So that's what happened.

494
00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:05,000
Please rest assured, Old Madam.

495
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,549
I will definitely help you reunite

496
00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:09,269
with Princess Ningshuang.

497
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,069
Among the hundred schools of thought
during the early Qin period,

498
00:27:18,069 --> 00:27:18,750
Zou Yan

499
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:21,170
established the Five Virtues theory,

500
00:27:21,289 --> 00:27:23,380
emphasizing the mutual generation
and restriction of the Five Elements.

501
00:27:23,380 --> 00:27:25,619
This had a profound impact
on later generations.

502
00:27:25,619 --> 00:27:27,529
The Zhou Dynasty corresponded
to the Fire Virtue, esteeming red.

503
00:27:27,529 --> 00:27:28,900
After Qin destroyed Zhou,

504
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:31,200
it established its rule
based on the Water Virtue, revering black.

505
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,000
However,

506
00:27:32,619 --> 00:27:34,220
these are just theories.

507
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:38,930
The situation between the Old Madam
and Princess Ningshuang

508
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:41,039
is simply too bizarre.

509
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,740
The Old Madam told me in detail

510
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:45,589
that every time she attempted
to meet Princess Ningshuang,

511
00:27:45,589 --> 00:27:47,869
something untoward would happen
to the princess.

512
00:27:47,869 --> 00:27:49,519
This reminds me

513
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,609
of the incident
where the bathtub turned blood-red.

514
00:27:53,410 --> 00:27:55,210
It seems that Ningshuang Palace

515
00:27:56,299 --> 00:27:58,839
is really haunted by evil spirits.

516
00:28:01,859 --> 00:28:03,789
Whether it's an evil spirit or not,

517
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:06,000
we'll find out once we lure it out.

518
00:28:12,170 --> 00:28:13,450
Go to see her now?

519
00:28:15,789 --> 00:28:17,849
I've already spoken to the Old Madam.

520
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:19,619
She's waiting for you now.

521
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:22,980
Do you expect me to believe that?

522
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:24,500
When we arrive at Kunning Palace,

523
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:25,339
she

524
00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:27,140
will turn me away again.

525
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,839
This

526
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,920
has happened too many times.

527
00:28:33,259 --> 00:28:34,119
Your Highness.

528
00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:35,220
I...

529
00:28:35,859 --> 00:28:37,279
I swear on my life!

530
00:28:37,349 --> 00:28:39,029
If the Old Madam refuses to see you,

531
00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:41,230
I'll accept any punishment you decide.

532
00:28:42,009 --> 00:28:43,369
Why are you so certain?

533
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,200
I'm certain

534
00:28:47,630 --> 00:28:49,359
of the Old Madam's love for you.

535
00:28:50,130 --> 00:28:50,660
Love

536
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:52,359
can't be hidden.

537
00:29:09,259 --> 00:29:11,720
Your Highness, please get
in the palanquin.

538
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:14,950
What is the meaning of this?

539
00:29:15,140 --> 00:29:16,400
To ensure your safety.

540
00:29:18,119 --> 00:29:19,720
Getting in Lord Feng's palanquin

541
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,079
will keep me safe?

542
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,769
Of course it's not just about a palanquin.

543
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,650
Your Highness,

544
00:29:24,650 --> 00:29:25,130
please.

545
00:29:45,109 --> 00:29:46,809
If you encounter anything strange,

546
00:29:46,809 --> 00:29:48,170
he can help resolve it.

547
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,730
He has that kind of ability?

548
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:51,579
Of course!

549
00:29:51,940 --> 00:29:54,740
He is a descendant
of the Bai Clan of Bronze County,

550
00:29:54,779 --> 00:29:58,440
specializing in dealing
with these bizarre and unusual matters.

551
00:30:00,609 --> 00:30:01,470
Your Highness,

552
00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:04,470
I've also prepared a second layer
of protection!

553
00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:19,069
What a grand

554
00:30:19,509 --> 00:30:20,950
spectacle this is!

555
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:23,900
I never thought in my lifetime

556
00:30:24,099 --> 00:30:27,359
that I'd receive the honor
of Lord Feng's personal escort.

557
00:30:27,930 --> 00:30:29,680
You flatter yourself, Princess Ningshuang.

558
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,960
It's not for your sake.

559
00:30:32,259 --> 00:30:33,099
I know.

560
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,619
It's because of this girl.

561
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:41,940
Indeed,

562
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,400
she is quite interesting.

563
00:30:43,619 --> 00:30:45,019
Not just interesting.

564
00:30:48,539 --> 00:30:49,470
She's also cute.

565
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,839
Not just cute.

566
00:30:56,059 --> 00:30:56,859
She's also

567
00:30:59,259 --> 00:31:00,420
pretty, I guess.

568
00:31:01,589 --> 00:31:02,630
Not just pretty.

569
00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:04,799
I'm done talking.

570
00:31:04,859 --> 00:31:07,619
She is kind-hearted
and always ready to help others in need.

571
00:31:07,619 --> 00:31:08,730
She has a strong sense of justice

572
00:31:08,730 --> 00:31:10,519
and likes to help those in distress.

573
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:11,569
No matter what difficulties come her way,

574
00:31:11,569 --> 00:31:13,400
she always finds a way to solve them.

575
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,240
She is persevering

576
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,759
and never gives up easily.

577
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:16,579
Enough.

578
00:31:17,579 --> 00:31:19,220
In all my years,

579
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:20,180
I've never once heard

580
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:22,319
a single word of praise from you.

581
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:24,920
You lot

582
00:31:25,579 --> 00:31:27,839
really don't have these fine qualities.

583
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Enough!

584
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:30,960
I can't stand listening to this anymore.

585
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:31,799
Let's go now.

586
00:31:32,670 --> 00:31:33,470
Disgusting.

587
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,599
If I come into contact with Ningshuang,

588
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,039
the consequences that befall her
will range

589
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:51,170
from minor injuries to severe illness.

590
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:52,829
It happens every single time.

591
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:56,700
I am...

592
00:31:58,390 --> 00:31:59,630
a jinx to her.

593
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,519
The Old Madam is waiting for you inside.

594
00:32:14,299 --> 00:32:16,289
{\an8}[Kunning Palace]

595
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:03,259
Your Highness!

596
00:33:04,299 --> 00:33:05,220
Your Highness!
