Unique Lady

Episode 12

Your Excellency.

How are things going?

It has been settled.

How many people have been planted beside him?

Almost all those serving him now

are our men.

You're reliable.

Great.

Everything is ready

except one key element.

Then I would like to congratulate you in advance.

Keep an eye on Jin Chen, Prince Jingyuan.

He seems to have noticed something.

Yes.

By the way,

have you found Liu Xiuwen?

Not yet.

I'm still searching for him.

Forget it

as he disappears.

As a unimportant bodyguard,

he can't do anything that hurts us.

Well.

Besides arranging men around him,

arrange some men in the palace, too.

I see.

Zhong Shili,

your days are numbered.

Zhong Shili.

Is that His Majesty's name?

Is my dad plotting a rebellion?

What to do

if Lin Luojing

finds anything else?

As before.

You mean…

Kill her.

OK.

Who?

Thank you for saving me again, Hua.

Whenever you're in danger,

I'll help you for sure.

I have no other intention.

As you come and go

in a hurry every time,

what's the matter with you?

Your character setting is really mysterious.

Stop.

It's dangerous here. Go.

Where are we going?

Go.

Your Excellency.

Who is that?

Your Excellency.

Judging by her figure,

it seems to be young lady.

Luojing?

Yes.

The other one…

Go on.

He disappears.

What?

How come a lively person disappears?

Search carefully with others now.

Do be careful.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Well.

How can you read my book without my permission?

Give it to me.

Dear,

why do you like reading such books?

Give it back to me.

Luojing.

What are you doing?

Luojing.

Luojing.

What are you doing?

Be quiet.

Take it off now.

I'm going in, Luojing.

Luojing.

Luojing.

I forget that you're also here, Your Highness.

Mr. Lin,

what can I do for you?

This is the case.

Your Highness,

did you just

hear anything suspicious

or see anyone suspicious?

No.

Then I'll leave.

I was scared out of my mind.

Luojing,

didn't you go out of your room today?

No.

Father-in-law, is there anything else?

No.

I'll leave.

Go on.

I was scared out of my mind.

Tell me

what you did

without telling your dad.

If Zhong Wumei

knows my dad's revolt,

we'll suffer.

It's a crime of implicating all relatives of my family.

I can't tell him.

I can't.

I didn't do anything.

I know you well.

Then you…

As an adult,

you're actually afraid of thunder.

Do you know

why I am named Wumei?

Why?

In childhood,

I lived in the palace with high walls alone.

I couldn't see my mother for a long time.

The palace was so big

and the night was so long.

Every day,

I could only sleep with my eyes open

until dawn.

One night

when I was 10 years old later,

lightning flashed and thunder rumbled and it was raining and blowing hard.

I missed my mother so much,

but I didn't dare to go out.

The next day,

my wet nurse told me

my mother

had passed away suddenly

last night.

From that time on,

I've been more afraid of thunder.

I feel I could see the scene

in which my mother passed away that night

the moment I close my eyes.

It's hard for me to sleep at night

and even harder for me

to sleep at the night with thunder.

In the endless night,

I can't fall asleep.

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

I'm here.

I'll stay with you later.

What can I do?

I'll sing a song for you, OK?

When I couldn't fall asleep at night in childhood,

my grandma would sing for me.

I'll sing a song for you, OK?

It's dark. Dark.

It's dark all around.

I'm in love with a man so deeply.

Sleep. Sleep.

My dear baby.

I hold you tight

with your hands.

I haven't agreed.

How could you decide for me?

Xuanyu,

your marriage should follow our commands and matchmaker's words.

Your dad decided to ask you

to marry the daughter of the Tang family for your good.

Listen.

Tang Meng, the first daughter of the Tang family,

is a rare beauty in the capital city.

Even if she is a fairy, I don't want to marry her.

I'm too young to get married.

So mischievous.

Your marriage has been arranged when you were very young.

Now you're already adults,

so you should fulfill the marriage contract.

You can't go back on your word.

You ask me to marry Tang Meng

as her family controls

the salt industry in most places of Shengjing

and you also want to get some interest from it, right?

Isn't that good?

Since ancient times,

a marriage between families of equal social rank is to share the interest.

This is also for the sake of business.

Dad.

Since childhood,

I've known you're a businessman.

But I didn't think

you were so mercenary

that you even wanted my marriage to stink of money.

What?

Stink of money?

Why can you

design clothes

and serve women every day?

You live gracefully

with my hard-earned money.

Now it's time for you to do something for our family,

but you think I stink of money.

Dad,

do you have to betray my happiness

and let me marry a woman I don't love

for the sake of profit?

Love?

You don't know what love is.

The love of men and women is just a moment of joy.

Only the love of the parents is eternal.

Since ancient times,

the marriage should follow our commands and matchmaker's words.

That's the case for everyone.

Stop talking.

That's the case for everyone?

But I don't accept

such a secular fate.

If you must force me,

then disown me.

You…

Stop.

How dare you!

For freedom,

I can give up everything.

Xuanyu.

Master.

Master. Master. Master.

Are you OK?

Master. Calm down.

Master.

Master.

Don't make your dad angry again.

He is for your good.

Will you marry her or not?

Master. Master.

Master. Don't be angry.

Master.

Xuanyu.

Promise your dad, OK?

Master.

Dad, I…

Will you marry her or not?

Master.

Xuanyu.

Xuanyu.

Master, he promised.

I ran back last night.

I don't know what happened to Hua later.

My lady,

do you have your heart

filled with His Highness now?

He just got up early.

You are so anxious to look for him.

What are you talking about?

I am not.

Let me ask you.

Was anyone caught

in our mansion last night?

No.

Why do you ask this, my lady?

That's good.

With high kung fu,

Hua approaches without casting a shadow and leaves without leaving a trace.

Guards in my mansion have poor kung fu,

so he would be fine.

Luckily, he appeared last night,

or I would be killed by my dad.

I should thank him sincerely next time.

Well. Don't cry.

I hate to part from you.

Well.

Dad, mom,

I'll go back.

OK.

OK.

See you.

My dad is so horrible.

I don't want to come back again.

Luojing, see you.

I won't see you off.

By the way, My lady.

This is for you.

What's the matter?

What's this?

Yesterday, Madame asked me

to pray and draw a divination stick for you according to the rule in the Xiangguo Temple.

I got it

early in the morning.

The shortest stick.

Seven-day life limit.

Nonsense.

It isn't accurate.

How to break

the seven-day life limit?

Your Highness,

the abbot said

according to the meaning of this stick,

Her Highness should be more careful

as she may meet natural and man-made calamities lately.

If it's true,

it shows my dad knew I eavesdropped on them last night.

But does he dare to kill me in our mansion?

Natural and man-made calamities?

I don't believe these.

Zhang Ji?

Yes.

Is there any fortune-telling place in the city?

Well…

Do you know?

I know a place,

but…

Pray for a solution for Her Highness.

Yes.

Is he worrying about me?

Superstition.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

From today on,

follow Her Highness at any time.

Keep her away from any places with water

and ensure her safety.

If she has any accident,

you'll suffer.

Yes.

So superstitious.

It's so exaggerated.

Besides keeping away from places with water,

you should be careful

when drinking.

Your Highness.

I want to have some water.

I'm so thirsty.

My lady, have some fruits.

My lady.

I can't even take a bath.

His Highness said… Stop.

I won't take a bath.

Darling,

have more dishes.

My lady.

My lady. Spit it out now.

Don't tap me so heavily.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Are you OK?

You always need me

to save you from danger.

I just want to have some soup.

Don't be so nervous.

There was a fire in the imperial palace last time.

If I hadn't arrived in time,

you would have been killed by the big fire.

The imperial palace?

Did you save me in the imperial palace?

Sure.

Only you fool thought

another person saved you.

Don't call me fool.

You were even choked by soup.

What a fool.

Let me have more soup.

OK?

No.

You're the best husband.

Just one sip.

No way.

Jiang.

Jiang,

what are you thinking?

Nothing.

Unexpectedly,

I can marry you one day.

It's really like a dream.

Do you still remember the scene

when we met for the first time in childhood?

10 years ago,

my dad said

some people visited us.

I was shy

and didn't dare to meet you.

I hid in the back yard garden with my maid.

Unexpectedly, I met you by accident.

You spread out the palm of your hand

and a butterfly was dancing on your palm.

Do you still remember

what you said to me

for the first time?

Jiang.

Are you unwilling

to marry me?

If you're unwilling,

we may not get married.

Meng, don't think so much.

Since I promised to marry you,

I won't go back on my word.

The first time we met,

you asked me,

"Do you like me?"

Back then,

I fell in love with you.

I finally get the power of transport of grain to the capital by water.

Congratulations, Your Excellency.

But what if

His Majesty

suspects?

Make ensure to be watertight

before he finds anything.

Eunuch Su.

Your Excellency Lin,

His Majesty has been in the Imperial Study.

Please.

Please.

Your Majesty, here are my respects.

Prime Minister,

what brings you here?

Your Majesty, I'm here today

to report a piece of good news to you.

Under the control of Your Majesty,

the situation of transport of grain to Shengjing by water is good this year.

There has been four million dan of grain

transported north by the Canal,

nearly doubling that of last year.

Envoys of different states also come to visit us.

The Little Britain in the west

just offered a Royal Cruise Ship gaily-painted pleasure boat

as tribute.

I'm here today

to invite Your Majesty

to attend the unveiling ceremony of the first sailing of the Royal Cruise Ship.

OK.

It's indeed a piece of good news.

The favorable situation of transport of grain to the capital by water

is a great event benefiting the country and the people.

Little Britain is so sincere.

Reward their envoys generously.

And I'll

attend the unveiling ceremony

for sure.

Prime Minister,

thank you.

Ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare carefully.

I'll travel by the gaily-painted pleasure boat

three days later.

Yes.

My lady, are they enough?

How about serving you with some preserved fruit?

Xique,

don't ask me again.

Am I so greedy?

How can I eat so much?

Your Highness, let me sing a song for you, OK?

No need.

You've sung the whole morning.

I'm tired of listening to it.

Your Highness,

it is hard to labor with an empty belly.

Eat more, OK?

No.

I already ate a lot.

Let's walk outside to help with digestion, OK?

Your Highness. My lady.

It's time for you to have a noon break.

You look

so strange today.

Tell me

what you are hiding from me.

No. No. No.

No, seemingly.

Xique,

even you hide it from me.

My lady, don't ask me.

I know nothing.

I don't know anything about the travel by the gaily-painted pleasure boat.

I know nothing.

Xique.

It's all my fault. I had a slip of tongue.

Doesn't she know?

I already asked the maids to hide it from Her Highness.

No one dared to tell her.

Well done.

The unveiling ceremony of the gaily-painted pleasure boat is on the water.

Water.

Luojing likes crushes.

If she knows,

she'll insist on going.

Let the people in our mansion to act carefully.

Don't let her go out of the mansion.

If she has an accident,

you'll suffer.

Yes.

But Your Highness,

Her Highness is smart.

I am afraid we can't hide it from her.

So you should act carefully.

Yes.

Go and arrange.

We'll set out at noon.

Yes.

Zhong Wumei,

you actually want to hide such an important event from me.

As your princess,

how can you attend

the unveiling ceremony of the gaily-painted pleasure boat without me?

I'll go.

This is the last time I've come to you.

What do you mean?

I've decided

to go back to Persia.

It's heard His Majesty is asking people

to encircle and suppress the Persian remaining confederates.

Were your men found?

The situation in Persia is now volatile.

If I don't go back,

I'm afraid there will be any change.

OK.

Go back.

Don't worry about

the matter in Shengjing.

Remember to come back early.

Don't forget

you also have limited time.

Come out.

Why don't you ask me to go back with him?

Because you have more important tasks.

More important tasks?

You need to solve

the mess you haven't solved.

But after the incident

in the Prince's Mansion,

they're bound to guard against us tightly.

We don't have any chance to act at all.

Doesn't the boat

give us the best chance?

Luojing, you're my most important person.

Anyway, I'll protect you.

Zhang Ji?

Yes.

Make sure…

Make sure to keep an eye on Her Highness.

Make sure not to let her go out.

Make sure not to let her get close to water.

Most importantly,

don't let her follow us to the gaily-painted pleasure boat.

Your Highness, don't worry.

I've arranged it well.

Very good.

Set out.

It's good that

Luojing doesn't go to the gaily-painted pleasure boat.

Luojing, wait for me to come back.

After I solve everything,

I'll get away to a faraway place with you.

She has married into my mansion,

so she has become my princess.

How can she leave at will?

You're dismissed.

OK,

now that you say so,

from today on,

pack up your things

and leave my mansion.

The girl you love married another man.

You must be sad.

You are following me.

Lin Luojing doesn't go to the gaily-painted pleasure boat today.

Zhong Wumei won't allow her to go.

Are you angry?

I see you so jealous for the first time.

I'm not trying to meddle in you,

but you know that

if you make a mistake again this time,

he won't let you go.

I need to make sure you don't do anything stupid anymore.

Am I so stupid?

No.

I'm more stupid than you.

May I drink your wine?

I just want to remind you

she has been Zhong Wumei's princess.

Just forget her.

Remember.

If you choose her,

you'll have to give up your life.

Think it over.

Your Highness, have more fruits.

Your Highness, have more snacks.

Your Highness, are you hot?

Your Highness. Your Highness.

My lady.

Your Highness, what can I do for you?

Keep a close watch.

If a mosquito flies in,

I'll punish you seriously.

Yes.

Mosquito.

So boring. Your Highness,

have more snacks, OK?

No.

All of you, leave.

Yes.

My lady, let me help you change your clothes, OK?

No need.

Leave, too.

I want to stay alone.
