Unique Lady

Episode 9

What's the matter?

Kneel down.

Did I do anything wrong again?

I won't kneel down.

Did you break it?

It's just a hang decoration.

Why do you bring such a thing as an adult?

Give it to me.

I can sew it up for you!

Go out!

You're a madman!

He is so temperamental.

I even thought…

Oh, no.

Your Highness,

forgive her for her ignorance.

Lady Lin didn't know that

the tiger-head shoes are important to you,

so she broke them accidentally.

Your Highness, don't be angry.

Was I too hard on her?

But

I didn't mean to scold her.

I was just anxious.

Nanny,

I have cleaned up the kitchen.

Later I'll do the laundry.

I don't come to assign tasks to you.

I come for His Highness.

Does he want to play a trick on me again?

Tell me directly.

I come to apologize to you for His Highness.

Apologize to me?

You must be angry with His Highness about his attitude,

right?

In fact, I think

the reason why he scolded you is that

he cares you.

Care me?

What do you mean?

I didn't see him worrying about

someone like this before.

That's why

he is distracted

when facing you.

Even so,

he shouldn't have to be mad at me

for a pair of tiger-head shoes.

They're just shoes.

They're different

and important to him.

On one occasion

when he played truant at the age of 10,

the late imperial concubine was furious at that

and punished him

with domestic discipline severely.

Later as I asked him why repeatedly,

he told me that

he went to buy a birthday gift

for his mom out of the palace that day.

Later,

the late imperial concubine knew it and blamed herself.

Then she made these tiger-head shoes

ornament for him in person.

Although there are countless treasures in the palace,

His Highness cherishes

these shoes with his mom's love most.

After

his mom passed away,

the tiger-head shoes

is the only thing for him

to miss his mom.

I see.

In fact, that's who he is.

The more he cares about something, the more afraid he is of losing it.

So he does to you.

Does he really care about me?

He actually knows he is wrong,

but he doesn't know

how to apologize.

No wonder he was so angry.

It turns out that

I broke something important to him.

I didn't see him smiling

after his mom passed away.

As you're here,

I see

him smiling again.

Did you have fun,

beautiful challenger?

Let go of me,

barbarian.

Are you out of your mind?

You spent so much money buying me.

You lied to me.

Mr. Hua saved me.

As a sword immortal,

he is ready to right wrongs,

but,

but

nothing happened to him and me.

Who is

Mr. System?

I mean the man who stayed

with you for a whole night.

The man that day was Hua.

Mr. System is...

What?

You're having an affair with several men.

It hurts.

Let go of me,

barbarian.

What's wrong with me?

Why do you hate me so much?

Sir, don't kill me.

Your Highness, as you walked around just now,

His Highness worries about you very much.

Finally, you're in my arms.

Make me emotional.

Meet the world of mortals. Be generous.

Now,

my husband is old

and his health is deteriorating.

I don't know

how long I can serve His Highness.

So,

please, Lady Lin.

After the one-month term,

stay here

with His Highness, OK?

I get it.

Thank you, Nanny.

Does he really care about me?

Xique,

I need your help.

Life is dear;

love is dearer.

But both can be

given up for freedom.

I'll fight with you to the end.

As a princess,

why do you work as a maid in the kitchen?

Zhong Wumei should be blamed for it,

because he degraded me as a maid last night.

So you didn't…

That's great.

What do you mean?

I just saw you losing in thought.

Do you really have a sweetheart?

No.

The tea is clean and mellow

with lingering taste.

Great.

This is the snow tea I brought from the Western Regions.

I learned that

your friend Prince Yuanzheng also loves tea.

I wonder when

he will taste it

and tell us what he thinks of it.

How rare it is that

you're curious about a man!

You can't remove him from your heart

after the glimpsing at the night of famous prostitute.

Don't make fun of me, Mr. Jiang.

I have no other intention.

I just want to share

the great tea

with someone who knows it.

OK.

If there is a chance,

I will share with him the snow tea from the Western Regions.

Thanks, Mr. Jiang.

What?

You're polite now

as you don't kick the door.

I sorry that I broke

your tiger-head shoes accidentally.

This is for you

as compensation.

I made it personally with great effort.

I'm sincere, right?

Does it hurt?

Don't worry.

Is this a tiger,

not a cat?

It isn't a tiger,

but a cat.

A big cat like you.

What?

I said

you were a big cat.

Keep it.

I'm leaving.

I, I'm sorry.

What did you say?

Gosh. He apologized to me.

Don't get me wrong.

I just think that

you didn't mean to.

No warned, no fault.

What's more,

you admitted your mistake voluntarily.

As I apologized,

we're even.

I won't

fuss about it with you,

or I may appear stingy.

You're stingy indeed.

What?

I said

you're stingy.

See you.

Here you are.

The falling flowers flew into your sleeves,

like your touching eyes

and unseen tenderness.

You accompany me

through another year.

And I'm trapped and love all your

casual greetings.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

How strange!

Why hasn't he tortured me recently?

Did his characters reset by the system?

Greetings to you, Your Majesty.

Why do you come to me?

Your Majesty,

I've finished the disaster relief

you asked me to.

I'm specially here to tell you the good news.

Great, Chen.

You're very efficient.

Many happy things happened in the palace recently.

Someone.

Yes.

Send my pair of S-shaped jade scepters.

to Prince Yuanzheng.

Yes.

Wait, Your Majesty.

I was tied up recently so that

I couldn't attend Wumei's wedding ceremony.

I planned to congratulate him personally.

How about I taking the S-shaped jade scepters

to him, OK?

You're really thoughtful.

You can often visit him

at ordinary times

and teach him for me.

OK.

I'm leaving.

What is that stupid woman doing?

Wumei,

are you uncomfortable?

Your Highness, what's wrong?

Mr. Jiang, you know what?

Since Lady Lin asked to leave,

His Highness is quite upset.

Zhang Ji.

Wumei,

you're sick.

Tell me.

Are you often distracted?

Do you keep thinking of Lin Luojing?

You always want to meet her,

but don't know what to say when meeting her

and tend to lose your temper, right?

It's serious.

Does it matter?

No,

but we have to help him cure his illness.

How?

Greetings to you, Your Highness, Mr. Jiang.

Miss Su.

Are you comfortable?

OK, My Lady?

Go on.

Well.

Thanks.

How do you feel?

I feel my life here

as a maid is more comfortable

than that at my own home.

My Lady,

as daughter of the Prime Minister,

you can't be a maid.

Luckily,

the one-month term will end soon.

We'll leave soon.

How time flies!

Yes.

We'll get rid of the miserable life soon.

My Lady,

you've lived in comfort since childhood

so you never put up with bad treatment for a single day.

You suffered recently.

Come on, Xique.

Don't wear a sad face.

But it's strange.

I don't want to leave

when it is time to leave. Why?

Well,

When I'm leaving,

just see me off happily.

I'm soft-hearted.

If you try to ask me to stay,

I may really stay here.

Don't try to convince me.

Don't try to convince me.

Just go, My Lady.

Though we don't want to separate from you,

But we can't bear

to see you suffering here.

We'll miss you.

You don't want me to stay here.

By the way, My Lady.

I heard His Highness talked with Zhang Ji that

master kept asking why you haven't returned home

as it has been a month,

so His Highness told him that you were ill.

Master worries about you

and will meet us here in a few days.

Really?

Then I can't leave,

or I'll bring shame on the Lin family.

I can't let that happen.

I have to discuss with Zhong Wumei.

It seems that I really can't leave.

How annoying!

My Lady.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Is she out of her mind?

What?

What to do?

My Lady.

Is Zhong Wumei playing?

What's going on?

Zhong Wumei,

you even bring a dancing girl home.

Jerk.

Your Highness, Mr. Jiang,

please do not laugh at my performance.

Don't stand on ceremony, Yiyi.

Why do you come in without knocking again?

Get out.

Knock and then come in.

Why?

What?

Are you going to go against me?

Get out.

-I… -Calm down, Your Highness.

Lady Lin must rush here

for something important.

She doesn't mean to offend you.

Really, Lady Lin?

It smells familiar.

Sachets of Wenxiang Brothel.

It seems that I'm not the right one to be here.

Excuse me.

Mr. Jiang,

I don't know why

you asked Yiyi here,

but now it seems to

have helped me a lot.

Yiyi, thank you.

Zhang Ji.

Yes.

Lead Yiyi to the west chamber for a rest.

Yes.

This way please, Yiyi.

It pisses me off.

Your Highness.

Prince Jingyuan.

Long time no see.

Why are you here?

I'm here to congratulate you.

This is S-shaped jade scepter from His Majesty

Forget it.

Why do you wear the clothes of a maid?

Don't mention it.

It's the barbarian's fault.

What?

Your Highness.

Lady Lin.

See?

He brought this girl home.

He is such a jerk.

Well.

Wumei isn't a randy man.

What?

You know what?

When he looked at her…

Long time no see, Prince Jingyuan.

What was the song

you played in the palace last time?

When can you teach me to play qin?

You can't go out of the mansion yet.

No.

I can go out soon.

I'll go wherever I want

and do whatever I like.

Besides dances of other races,

I also do jazz, ballet,

hip-hop, Latin

and waltz. Have you seen it?

No.

Bang cha cha.

I'll show you then.

My Lady, is it still so hot in autumn?

I am furious.

I see.

My Lady,

now that you're jealous,

you can't just leave,

or Su Yiyi will snatch His Highness.

I'm not jealous.

Don't talk nonsense.

I…

I'm angry at what he did.

My Lady,

Mr. Jiang, not His Highness,

invited Su Yiyi.

Besides, he did nothing.

What?

He,

he even brought her here.

You know what?

He looked at her lustfully.

He even asked her to stay here.

Jerk!

Jerk!

My Lady,

it's late.

Su Yiyi can't go back.

She can't stay

in the room of His Highness, right?

No.

Are you crazy?

It pisses me off.

No.

As the leading role,

I won in the tricky accident

of famous prostitute last time.

I can't lose this time.

That's great.

I really can't leave now.

I'll stay and

fight for my glory.

Go.

Let's practice dancing.

Practice dancing?

My Lady,

where are you going to practice dancing in the evening?

Follow me.

Who?

Freeze.

Go.

Hurry up.

Search around.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Go to check in the west chamber.

Yes.

Just now an unknown thief

tried to sneak into the study.

Luckily, we found her in time

and lost nothing,

but she's gone.

Did you see clearly what she looks like?

No. She masked in black

and scattered incense.

How dare!

Close the mansion

and search each corner

carefully.

Yes.

Who on earth is she?

Did she come for…

What's wrong?

Miss Su, excuse me.

Have you seen anyone suspicious passing by

or heard anything suspicious?

I went to bed earlier,

so I saw or heard nothing.

What happened?

Thanks.

Let's go.

Have they found anything?

Did he send you here?

Yes.

He is irrational.

Because you didn't finish the task he told you to do

and Lin Luojing married into the mansion.

But She and Zhong Wumei can't get along well with each other now.

Young master,

do you think he will listen to what you said?

Besides, it's almost time for you to take medicine.

If he gets angry,

you will…

That's what I can do.

It's too risky for you to do so.

So what can we do?

He is so cruel that

he will do anything,

unless

you kill Lin Luojing now.

Impossible?

Do you really like her?

None of your business.

You…

This is medicine for knife wounds.

Cure the injury quickly.

Zhong Wumei is so cautious that

he'll get to the bottom.

Find a chance to leave the mansion tomorrow.

How about you?

Your Highness,

I sent people to watch around the mansion

for the whole night,

but we found no one left injured.

She was stabbed in the waist by me,

so it should be inconvenient for her to move.

She can't run far in a short time

and may be still in the mansion.

What are her characteristics?

I was blinded by a strange haze

of smoke

and couldn't tell if it's a woman or not.

But in terms of movements,

it's very likely to be a woman.

Only Miss Su visited here yesterday.

I see.

Are those I asked you to call here?

Yes.

OK.

You'll be responsible for the thorough investigation.

Ask all servants and maids clearly

where they went and what they did

last night.

Yes.

Go out.

Your Highness,

there is one more thing.

Yesterday,

Prime Minister Lin sent for a briefing that

he would visit Her Highness here this evening.

Your Highness.

You must have heard that

someone sneaked into the mansion last night.

Please tell me what you did

and where you went last night

to prove that you're innocent.

Let me start with it.

I tasted the fragrant tea

from Yiyi in my room last night.

The perfect combination

of the fragrance of the snow tea from the Western Regions,

tea ceremony and flower art is fascinating.

Is there a witness, Mr. Jiang?

Those in the teahouse came in and went out of my room twice.

They can prove that.

Wumei,

don't just ask outsiders.

As the saying goes, “A thief from within is hard to guard against.”

I'll ask your subordinates for you.

You.

I practiced on the drill ground last night.

Did anyone see that?

I saw him.

We practiced together.

Did anyone else see that?

Her Highness saw us last night.

Me?

Yes, Your Highness.

It was you two last night.

I can't recognize you as you're dressed.

Last night I saw them both training

on the drill ground with bare arms.

They are muscular.

Stop.

I know that.

Why?

You aren't as muscular

as they are, right?

Dear,

don't make trouble

in the presence of so many people here.

I'm not your dear.

And

I didn't make trouble.

Your Highnesses,

let's keep on investigating.

Are there any servants

or imperial bodyguards that

didn't sleep in their rooms last night?

Last night Imperial Bodyguard Liu seemed to…

Liu Xiuwen,

where did you go last night?
