"The Heiress"

Episode 7

Mr. Dai,

you may start.

Yes, Your Majesty

Your Highness,

may I ask

if it's an arrow from your mansion?

Yes.

Your Highness, please take a closer look.

Could it be that someone forged it?

I don't need to.

It's an arrow from my mansion.

But about this arrow,

I've got a question.

What is it?

Have you got the assassin?

Your Highness,

we did catch the assassin.

But the assassin was so loyal to his master

that he killed himself by taking the poison in his mouth the moment he was caught.

So that means, apart from this arrow,

you don't have any other proof?

Yanyi,

are you trying to deny it?

Yes.

I think I've treated you well.

But you tried to hurt Yanhao instead.

He's your biological brother.

Chen Yanyi,

I didn't expect you to be this jealous

and even try to kill Yanhao.

Now there's the proof,

what else can you say?

Father,

I've got a question.

What is it?

If I had done it,

why would I have used an arrow with the mark of my mansion?

Wouldn't I get exposed?

Everybody knows that Yanhao and I

are striving against each other to be the Crown Prince.

If anything happens to Yanhao,

the first person that comes to their mind will be me.

It isn't hard to get an arrow of my mansion,

and it is easier to frame me up.

Father,

do you think

I would be

this stupid?

Your Majesty.

Dai Xing.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Figure this out.

If anything like this happens again,

you'll take full accountability for it.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness,

luckily it was insightful of you

to let my son Qi Tai keep watch along the road for government officials.

Otherwise, they would have made it.

I did that just in case.

I didn't expect they were so anxious.

They made their move even before they were here.

They must have taken great pains.

Both you and the Second Prince are in the capital now.

It was the first time for you

to confront each other directly.

I'm afraid Empress Wang

will take you as a thorn in the side more.

The war for the Crown Prince has already begun.

Your Highness,

the road ahead will be tougher for you.

The Second Prince has taken precautions long before this.

He didn't suffer a serious injury.

I hope Your Highness will look out for him.

I care about the people of the country.

I don't care if I'll be the emperor or not.

It's just that my second brother doesn't behave himself.

I've heard

that he did a lot of evil things when he went on the inspection tour.

The northern and southern territories

are guarded over by the Han and Chu families respectively.

But enemies are trying to attack our country any time.

If a person as incompetent as him takes the throne,

I'm afraid the country will be destroyed.

Rain can wet clothes

as well as irrigate the land.

Everything has two sides, good and bad.

There's no need to hide away from it.

Why is it you?

Are you concerned about me?

Who's concerned about you?

I was happy

because I thought I didn't need to be your reading partner today.

But here you are now.

Are... Are you smiling?

Can't I smile?

Yes.

You may smile.

It's just that we've been together for several months.

But I've never seen you smile.

I thought

you'd got facial paralysis.

I've never smiled in front of you?

I won't do that to you anymore.

Wait.

You were being amiable.

You weren't your usual self.

Judging from his facial expression,

he didn't mean to have affection towards me, did he?

Can't I be that way?

Prince Qi's Mansion

Your Highness,

the issue of the Second Prince's getting assassinated

should have been over.

It didn't have anything to do with me.

But what I said on the imperial court

must have aroused my Father's suspicion.

Whether they can catch the real person behind the scenes

depends on if they can tell the truth.

The inauguration ceremony is about to be held.

The Second Prince must be furious.

I think

we should let Qi Tai keep watching over them

just in case.

He doesn't have to.

The Second Prince hasn't recovered from his injury.

It will take a while before he makes any move.

Well,

I was taking a walk and happened to pass by.

I didn't eavesdrop.

You may go on.

Go on.

Wait.

I'll take you somewhere.

Oh, no.

I just happened to hear them talk

and he takes me here.

No wonder people say, "The more a man knows, the sooner he dies."

He has taken me to the dungeon.

What else will he do to me?

I'm afraid.

Your... Your Highness,

it... it occurs to me

that I haven't finished my homework.

I'm leaving now.

Han Shiyi.

Cheng Mingsi is from the Weiyuan Sect.

He was taken home by the former sect leader Cheng Lin when he was traveling.

Cheng Mingsi must have learned a lot from Cheng Lin.

I don't know much about the world of martial arts practitioners.

Cheng Mingsi was one of the assassins trying to kill me in the Lantern Festival.

I had someone fake his identity and kept him in my mansion.

The Capital Governor Chang Guozan was Prime Minister Wang's man.

The other assassins killed themselves by biting their tongues off

after they were sent to the Department of Capital Security and Administration.

Your Highness is really wise.

Don't flatter me.

OK, I'll rephrase it.

Your Highness

is not wise?

Your Highness,

can't we get along with each other?

Why are you trying to ruin our relationship

as lord and reading partner?

So you only take me as a lord?

What else can it be?

Your Highness,

you know I like women.

I can't be your bedmate.

Kneel.

Your Highness, Cheng Mingsi is here.

I really have told you everything.

I did.

I really did.

Your Highness,

you really are wise.

You've got a better way to interrogate culprits.

How did you torture him?

He is so submissive.

I guess

the disciple of the former leader of the Weiyuan Sect

is just a wimp.

Do you think I'm a person who would abuse torture?

I didn't torture him.

He told the truth on his own.

On... On his own?

Really?

Of course.

Your Highness,

you're going to supervise the Six Ministries.

I guess

it's better for you

to work in the Department of Capital Security and Administration.

You're gifted

in interrogating culprits.

I think you must have been staying awake day and night,

talking and persuading him.

Then one day he wanted to have a clear conscience

and admitted his crime.

You've got one thing right.

What is it?

Staying awake day and night.

Your Highness,

when you played cruel,

you really played it well.

I've been able to stay alive till this day,

just because I've been merciless.

If I'd shown the slightest mercy,

I would have died long time ago.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I wasn't reasonable in the past.

If anything I did offended you,

please just forget it.

What are you talking about?

You forced confessions by not letting culprits sleep.

That was really remarkable.

I'm in awe of you.

What's more,

now I know your way of doing things,

I would never offend you anymore.

I know

why you bring me to the dungeon.

I really do.

How will I torture you?

You're my man.

I just want to tell you

I don't want to hide anything from you.

When did I become your man?

Don't say that randomly.

I can't withstand that.

Once I say you're my man,

nobody can deny that.

Take him away.

Get up.

I'm spitting it out. I'm spitting all out.

It's Prime Minister Wang

who ordered us to assassinate Your Highness.

The man who contacted us was Liao Wu from the Daxizhuangzi.

On the third day of the first lunar month,

Liao Wu got to see my senior fellow apprentice Tu Mingsan.

That was the truth.

I don't know what else to say.

Get up. Here we go.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Prime Minister's Mansion

I didn't expect

Yanyi dealt with the crisis

I'd got him into so easily.

It seems he's learnt a lot in the western territory

over the years.

Your Highness, don't worry.

You're back in the capital now.

And the Emperor has favored you more

since you were little.

I don't think the Fifth Prince

will be in the upper hand for long.

The supervising work is in his responsibility now.

Isn't there really any way that we can get Zhou Xuezhang to work for us?

He was chosen by His Majesty in person.

Though we can't change that,

there must be something that we can do

to let him not live an easy life.

Eternal loyalty

My Lord, the bed is ready.

Let me help you get changed.

No, thanks.

Let me ask you something.

If someone won't let you sleep,

and once you fall asleep, he'll pour water onto you to sober you up,

what will happen

if this lasts for a few months?

Isn't that crazy?

Who's come up

with this evil trick?

Lower your voice.

It's the facial palsy guy.

Isn't that terrifying?

Isn't that horrible?

Today,

he took me to the dungeon

and told me everything,

forcing me to be on his side.

I don't know

what to do now.

So

starting from now, we need to be more cautious.

My lord, the inauguration ceremony is to be held tomorrow.

You lost in the tree climbing competition.

You need to play Goddess of Lightning.

Right. What should you do?

Don't worry.

I've already

figured out a way.

She's going to wear clothes for women tomorrow.

But she's smart.

I guess she can deal with it.

Han Shiyi's going to wear clothes for women tomorrow.

Han Shiyi,

I didn't expect I began to worry about you.

But as for the tree climbing issue,

it really wasn't a glorious victory.

He looks fair,

like a lady.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

He is sure to be pretty.

Why isn't Wang Zhongyu here yet?

Could it be that he hasn't got up yet?

That's weird.

No way.

Wang Zhongyu is seldom late.

Besides,

Han Shiyi is to play Goddess of Lightning today.

Yes.

He was supposed to be here much earlier.

Shiyi, you're choosing clothes.

Wang Er,

do you worry about me?

I'm a man who keeps his promise.

I won't go back on my word.

I believe you.

Then why are you standing here?

I'm about to change my clothes.

I'm here to be with you.

Though I got the lantern,

but I don't feel good about it.

If that hadn't happened to you,

you might have been the winner.

Wang Er, I didn't expect

you are a man of integrity.

Then why don't you hurry and get changed?

I can't wait

to see your striking beauty.

I can't be prettier

than you.

Well, get him changed.

Get the current most fashionable half-moon shaped hair-style for him.

And put on the rouge

on his cheeks and mouth.

Well,

ensure Shiyi's make-up the most glamorous.

The more glamorous, the better.

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Can't you tell?

He has fallen in love with me.

I don't love men.

But since you look so pretty,

I may think about it

and make an exception for you.

Wang Er,

just go and get changed.

I can't wait to see

you wear clothes for women.

And

do you...

Do you want the arched eyebrows?

Or the straight eyebrows?

I'll do whatever way

you want them to be.

I think you need to put rouge on your cheeks

and mouth.

A great play is about to start.

Look. There they are.

Look. Look. They're over there.

Did you see?

They look prettier in clothes for women

than girls.

I was worried that you might be at a loss as to what to do.

It turns out that I've overthought it.

Right. Right. It's Wang Zhongyu.

It seems

he looks more like a girl

as he hangs around with girls often.

That's Lord Han?

My cousin is usually a man of culture.

Why does he dress him up like that today?

What's going on?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

How do I look?

Good?

Yes.

Oh, no.

Wang Zhongyu, why do you look more like a girl

than Han Shiyi?

Right.

Lady Wang Er, you aren't a lady, are you?

The parade begins.

Are you happy?

Are you happy or not?

Lady Wang Er, you look so pretty.

You aren't a lady for real, are you?

Then why

do you wear

a beard today?

You don't understand.

I'm usually too masculine.

It's been a few days since I shaved my beard.

Now it looks like this.

You look fragile.

You can't understand how hard it is being a man.

Lady Han, don't tell me

you're afraid people may get to know that you're a woman

so you play ugly.

Lady Wang Er,

you've got a rich imagination.

Why don't you try to be a writer?

Why don't you try to be a writer?

Why don't you try to be a writer?

Why don't you try to be a writer?

Why don't you...

♪Fate played a cruel joke. Things went contrary to our wishes.♪

♪Disputes were ignored.♪

♪God knows who I might become♪

♪and what I am to other people.♪

♪I only need your company when the sun sets and rises.♪

Wang Zhongyu.

What are you waiting for? Go and save him.

Shiyi.

Are you all right, Shiyi?

Is Lord Han all right?

-Your Highness. -Lord Han.

The Shen's Mansion is closer to here.

-Take him to my place now. -Is he all right?

That isn't necessary.

Lord Han.

♪There is no right and wrong.♪

♪Your tenderness hypnotizes me.♪

♪Your love surrounds me.♪

♪Perhaps it's fate at work.♪

♪The blossoms came out as promised.♪

Prince Qi's Mansion ♪Can somebody tell me why♪

Western Chamber

♪the promises have been forgotten?♪

♪The heart is changing.♪

Your Highness,

put me down.

Your Highness, I...

♪You put my mind at ease.♪

♪You understand me.♪

I'll ask the servants to get some hot water here.

Change your clothes and make yourself dry.

That isn't necessary.

Your Highness,

get me back to my mansion.

Don't worry.

I've asked Jinzi and Yinzi to come over here.

They'll be here soon.

My Lord.

My Lord, are you all right?

My Lord, you scared me.

The two of you scared me.

I'm fine.

Luckily His Highness saved me.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'm out now.

My Lord, are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Keep watch over the Western Chamber.

Don't let anybody get close.

Yes, Your Highness.

Prime Minister's Mansion

Judging from the Fifth Prince's facial expression,

it seemed he was worried

that something might be found out.

Could it be that Han Shiyi is a woman

and the Fifth Prince knew that long time ago?

That's why he was so nervous.

Suiyi.

Young Master, what is it?

Go to my father's study before dinner

and get a design sketch of the Duke Han's Mansion.

Young Master, you're making it difficult for me.

How dare I go to the Prime Minister's study?

You dare not?

Then stop being my servant.

As for finding you a wife that we've talked about...

Don't worry. I'll do whatever it takes

to do what you want me to.

I'm doing it right now.

Just do it.

Han Shiyi,

I'll see if you're a man or a woman.

My Lord, the Fifth Prince was awesome today.

The moment he saw you fall into water,

he jumped into the river.

Yinzi is right.

My Lord, you're afraid of water.

Luckily the Fifth Prince jumped into the river and saved you.

The Fifth Prince really cares about you.

That's how you see it?

He just wanted to draw me to his side.

You really are simple-minded.

He's shrewd.

He does everything

for the sake of getting benefits.

But My Lord,

we've seen quite a lot of people

who want to draw us to their sides.

But it's the first time that we've seen a person like the Fifth Prince

who cares so much about you.

Yes.

But I feel horrible about him being good to me.

Don't forget

he likes men.

If he falls in love with me,

nobody knows

what consequences it will result in.

It seems as if the clothes

were tailor-made for me.

They just fit.

But I think

people may say that on purpose.

I don't think His Highness likes men.

Neither do I.

There's no way that the Fifth Prince likes men.

Will a man write that he likes men on his face?

But

I like him

the way he was.

Even if I were a man,

I wouldn't be his bedmate either.

None of those who did that in history

were men of integrity.

Besides,

once he finds out I'm not a man,

he may get furious

and treat me the way he treated Cheng Mingsi.

That's horrible.

I was used to staying overnight when I was in the northern territory,

but

I... I don't want to stay awake day and night.

Western Chamber

Your Highness.

Are you OK now?

Yes.

Thank you for saving me.

You jumped into the river without any hesitation

and saved me.

Are you all right?

So you're concerned about me?

If you'd like to put it that way,

then yes.

After all, if you get ill,

I'll be guilty.

I wonder how Wang Er is now.

He jumped into the river in clothes for women.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see how awkward he was.

You flirted with Wang Zhongyu in public.

That wasn't decent.

When did I do that?

I've been holding grudges against him.

How didn't I see that?

Could it be that he's worried that I may collude with the Wang family

and have it both ways?

That's impossible.

The Wang family has acted against me.

What are you thinking about?

I'm thinking

if I knock your face

with a hammer slightly,

I may get a bowl of ice crystals.

It's good to relieve summer heat.

That's just what we need now.

You're being glib-tongued.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Why aren't you happy since there's a play to see?

I really don't know how to fawn on you.

Have you ever done that?

Your Highness,

since you took me to the dungeon,

I've been trying to fawn on you every day, OK?

Didn't you see that?

Don't find excuses.

Can't you see

how I feel about you?

Could it be

that you love people like me?

He wants me to be with him forever just because he saved me?

In his dreams.

Or

you want to stoop yourself

and become my sworn brother?

Your Highness,

if you really want to be my sworn brother,

I may think about it.

It might be possible.

Your Highness.

Young Master.

I just knew you can make it.

Young Master, once the lord finds it out,

I'll get killed.

Please save me then.

Don't worry. You won't die.

It's well known that the Han family doesn't have men of sacrifice or assassins.

But they must have got people

to guard over empty rooms like this.

When I get inside,

just wait for me at the back gate.

Young Master, please be careful.

When did I fail?

You're right.

Eternal loyalty

Stop right there.

What are you doing? You look secretive.

I'm new here.

I'm not familiar with this place, so I'm looking around here.

Our lord has come back.

Go and tell the chefs to prepare late-night snacks.

I'm preparing tea for him.

OK. OK.

My Lord.

I wonder if it's because I fell into water today.

I'm hungry now.

I'll ask the chefs to prepare food for us.

Look.

Have I put on weight?

-No. -You haven't.

-Here. -It's OK.

Fire. Fire.

My Lord, stay here. I'll go and take a look.

Yinzi, take care of our lord.

OK.

Put it down.

You two. Go and put out the fire with me.

My Lord.

I wonder how it is out there now.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Why are you standing here?

Be careful.

Fire. Hurry up.

Someone.

Go and get water.

Be careful. Be careful.

Yinzi,

the two of you got strength.

The corset you've got on me today is too tight.

I don't feel comfortable.

Rewind it.

Really?

Why do things keep coming up?

I'm exhausted.

Because you're maturing.

That's why you feel so.
