A Girl Like Me

Episode 15

I’ve been waiting for you, Your Highness.

What’s the smell?

Smells like a hog lot.

Your Highness, if you hadn’t asked me to come back hurriedly,

you needn’t have come to such a dirty place.

You mean

it’s my fault?

I don’t dare.

If Father hadn’t summoned the Crown Prince secretly,

I wouldn’t have called you back in a hurry.

When you wanted me to gain recognition from His Majesty,

political achievements would be most convincing.

But why did you use Princess Royal’s money

for disaster relief,

instead of your own money?

Do you think everyone is as rich

as the Ban family?

Time was pressing.

How could I get

such a large sum of money?

I’ll do anything for you, Your Highness.

But when I’m stuck here,

I can’t give you any advice.

All right. All right.

Don’t be anxious.

I’ll try

to get you out soon.

I don’t want to come to such a place again.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Today, Rong Xia defended you.

But I still don’t fully believe

that he’s working for me.

Don’t worry, Your Highness.

I’ve got a plan.

If Rong Xia doesn’t cooperate with us sincerely,

he’ll also be screwed in my interlocked stratagems.

I’m leaving.

Cui?

Cui.

Madam Chang.

Why are you in the study?

I... I find too much dust in the study

when it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.

I came to clean it.

Okay.

Go to tell Her Highness!

Yes!

Who are you that come in the middle of night?

Token

Token Get out of the way.

Yes!

Your Grace, why are you coming in the middle of night

with the soldiers?

Token

At the behest of His Majesty,

this mansion has been harassed by refugees

and things were stolen.

I’m ordered to come with soldiers

to protect this mansion.

Well,

Your Grace, please defend the mansion

by guarding around.

Madam Chang, His Majesty ordered me

to get in and check carefully,

so that I can make sure no one is hidden here

and keep Princess Royal safe.

In this mansion, they are servants

who have been working for Her Highness for years.

No one is suspicious.

You come with so many people.

If you disturb Her Highness,

I’m afraid you can’t explain to His Majesty.

Her Highness is a royal lady.

Nothing can go wrong.

Madam Chang, please step back

so that I can get in for a search

and relieve His Majesty.

Ridiculous!

How would His Majesty give such an order?

Unless His Majesty came personally,

none of you

would get in.

It’s indeed an order from His Majesty.

Madam Chang, if you insist on stopping us,

sorry for being impolite.

You!

Your Grace, what do you mean?

If you dare to come forward,

you’ll be sorry!

This is an order from His Majesty.

Please make way, Your Grace.

I won’t.

Hua, step back!

Madam Chang.

Take Her Grace to the side hall for some rest.

Don’t let her out without my permission.

Yes, Your Highness!

Your Grace, please go.

Go.

Since it’s an order from His Majesty,

Your Grace, come in, please.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Search!

It doesn’t feel right.

His Majesty knows

Count Cheng’an is friendly with us.

Why did he send Count Cheng’an to search this place?

What does His Majesty really want?

Why did Count Cheng’an break in,

regardless of our relationship?

I thought you were only talented in literary.

Unexpectedly, you’re also good

at deploying the soldiers.

It’s wasting your talent

to search my mansion.

Your Highness.

I’m just executing the order.

No offense.

Search!

Yes!

Mother!

Your Highness.

Why is this bracelet

in your study?

This doesn’t belong to me.

I’ve never seen it before!

You’ve never seen it before?

This is my mother’s bequest.

Your Grace.

You racked your brains to break in

just for this?

It was smart of you.

Without the warrant from His Majesty,

I’m afraid I would never know

you hid my mother’s bequest

in your study!

How dare you!

My parents died out of a reason.

You insisted that you knew nothing.

If you really didn’t know,

why would you have my mother’s bequest?

Don’t you fear that my parents would question you

in your dream?

Your Highness, over the years,

how could you sleep soundly?

Madam Chang! Madam Chang!

Something wrong with Her Highness!

Your Grace.

Madam Chang, take me to see Grandmother.

Your Grace, I found nothing.

Neither did I.

Grandmother!

Grandmother, what happened to you?

Your Highness.

I’m fine. I’m fine.

Your Grace.

What did you do to my grandmother?

Your Grace.

I just asked her

a few questions.

As for the reason why she’s angry...

You’d better ask her personally.

Asked her a few questions?

You’re just like confiscating my family!

Rong Xia.

Explain to me.

What you told me that night...

Does it still count?

Your Grace, I’ve got a duty to do today.

Let’s not talk about personal relationship.

Fine. Let’s not talk about it.

Let’s talk about business, then.

His Majesty sent you to protect my grandmother.

But you annoyed her.

What punishment do you think you deserve?

You and I know very well

if Her Highness is well.

Please don’t throw mud at me.

Rong Xia.

Don’t you fear that I’ll tell His Majesty?

Don’t bother, Your Grace.

I’ll tell His Majesty

what has happened today.

You!

Hua!

Enough!

His Grace is just following the order.

Don’t be rude.

Somebody!

Here!

Strengthen the vigilance around this mansion

in case anyone suspicious approaches!

Yes!

Princess Royal was so angry

that she spat blood.

Rong Xia left with the bracelet

and went to report to His Majesty.

Your Highness, wait to see the fun.

Wonderful!

This is wonderful!

Next, the Ban family will perish

and the Crown Prince will be dethroned!

Congratulations, Your Highness.

When the Crown Prince is dethroned,

you’ll be the new Crown Prince.

Congratulations.

Your Highness, Count Cheng’an asked to see you.

Let him in.

What brings you here?

Shouldn’t you be in the palace

and reporting to His Majesty?

I didn’t go to the palace.

Rong Xia, what do you mean?

Are you betraying me?

Don’t be angry, Your Highness.

Princess Royal shouldn’t be dead now.

We agreed to break down the Ban family.

They won’t be eliminated before Princess Royal is dead.

Don’t you want to know

where the Tiger Tally is?

Tiger Tally?

If His Majesty doesn’t dethrone the Crown Prince,

you’ll find it most difficult

to be the new Crown Prince.

But if you have the Tiger Tally first,

things will change.

Are you sure you can get it?

I will get to know where it is

from Princess Royal.

Fine.

Hua, stop guessing.

Hua.

Grandmother, I’m sorry.

I shouldn’t have trusted a man like him.

It’s not your fault.

Count Cheng’an came with an imperial order.

We had to bear with it.

But His Majesty always respected you.

Maybe he has nothing to fear

when he knows I’m dying.

Hua.

Hua.

If I die,

do take good care of our family.

Grandmother, say no more.

I don’t like to hear that.

Why do I feel hungry?

You’re hungry?

Grandmother, would you like something to eat?

I’ll ask Madam Chang to get the food ready.

I’m not hungry.

Why did I suddenly

want some pomegranates?

I’ll go find some for you.

Silly girl.

How can you find any in the cold winter?

Grandmother, just wait for me.

I’ll go get some.

Hua. Hua!

You!

Softy. Softy. Softy.

I’m scared.

What are you scared of?

Is there...?

Is there really a thief in the kitchen?

When I’m here,

I’ll beat whoever dares to break in!

Go!

Three, two, one.

Catch the thief!

Your Grace?

Your Grace, why are you back in the middle of night?

Your Grace, are you searching the kitchen

because you’re hungry?

Why isn’t there any midnight snack at the Mansion of Peace and Longevity?

Yeah.

I’m not hungry.

I’m looking for the pomegranate wine.

Someone gave it to me before. Where is it?

You want to drink it?

No. Find it out for me.

Your Grace, what do you want the pomegranate wine for?

Grandmother wants some pomegranates.

But look.

How can I get any in the cold winter?

I must do it some other way.

I see.

You want to make dough pomegranates

and pour the wine on them.

Clever girls!

Awesome! Awesome!

We made it!

What a hard job!

You’d better lie down for some rest.

Get me the pellet.

Your Highness.

If you take more pellets, I’m afraid...

Bring me the pellet!

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Grandmother.

-Your Grace. -Madam Chang.

Grandmother.

Hua.

Guess what I brought.

I found some pomegranates for you.

How did you find any on such a cold day?

Look at you.

You really got me some pomegranates?

Grandmother, what’s wrong?

I didn’t expect

to taste some pomegranates again.

Who looks most like me?

-Who? -Your Highness.

Who of the younger generation looks most like me?

Madam?

Hua looks most like me.

Her Grace is fiery.

She looks more like Old General Ban.

When I was young,

everyone held a modest attitude to me.

I dared to love and hate, just like her.

When I see her,

I feel like seeing the young me.

Your Highness.

I was born in the palace.

I should also die there.

Madam Chang, dress me up.

Your Majesty, Princess Royal asked to meet you.

Get her in.

Your Majesty, it’s been long since I last visited you.

It’s a fine day.

I come without invitation.

You’ll welcome me, won’t you?

Aunt, you can come whenever you want.

Come and be seated.

Get us some tea.

Yes.

Aunt, I was just going to tell you.

Yesterday, I sent more guards

to protect you.

Unexpectedly, Count Cheng’an was so rude

that he made you spit blood.

I’ll punish him.

I certainly know

you cared for me.

Count Cheng’an did nothing wrong.

It’s generous of you, Aunt.

I didn’t know you would come

and I didn’t have your favorite tea prepared.

When I’m getting old,

I can’t help recalling the past.

It’s now winter.

I recalled the outing

I went to with your father.

You were just three to five years old.

You snapped a branch covered with snow,

thinking it was a caterpillar.

You yelled and ran to me,

giving it to me as a gift.

Yes.

You got all the snow on my head.

Your father scolded you.

Yes. Yes.

I remember.

I had black hair covered with snow.

But now, I have grey hair.

It’s been so many years.

Aunt,

you can even remember that.

That’s because

no matter how much time has passed,

how many difficulties you’ve gone through,

or who you are,

you’re always the naughty boy

who tricks his own aunt.

My father died at a young age.

Without your help,

I would have been dead in plots.

I can hardly repay you in my life.

I remember another time.

You were like this tall.

You were playing with some crickets

when they suddenly ran away.

You cried loudly.

Yes.

Ban’s Ancestral Hall

General-in-chief of the State’s Tablet Princess Royal Dening’s Tablet

Somebody!

Grandmother!

No!

I can’t be late!

Virtue Gate

Who are you? You mustn’t break in!

Your Grace, get off the horse! Your Grace!

Chase after her!

When I was little,

I was indeed timid.

Aunt.

You always have great tea.

You even have spring tea in winter.

Aunt, if you like it,

I’ll have some sent to your mansion.

Get us more tea.

Are you going to fill me with tea

so that I won’t stay for dinner?

Whoever breaks in will be killed!

Mr. Shi, it’s Princess Ban.

Your Grace, please stop!

Your Grace.

Get out of the way!

Are you alright?

I’ll kill whoever stops me!

It’s you?

Let me say it again. Get out of the way!

Stop!

Your Grace.

Are you trying to stop me, too?

Hua, I’ll explain to you later.

Time is running out.

Go with me.

Your Grace, please leave with me.

Hua, trust me for one more time.

Go with me, or it’ll be too late!

Can I trust you again?

I’m not hardhearted.

I will take you to Princess Royal.

Commander Shi, do we still run after her?

No.

-Aunt! -Somebody! Catch the assassin!

Aunt!

Sky-holding Gate

Ordered by His Majesty,

I’m guarding here.

I don’t mean to disrespect you, Your Grace.

But I must follow the order.

Please wait here.

I’ll report to His Majesty.

When His Majesty allows, you can get in.

Sky-holding Gate

His Majesty didn’t summon me.

But I must get in today!

Please make way.

I’ll undertake full responsibility!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Your Majesty.

Come! What are you waiting for?

Check on her. You must save her!

So... Sorry.

Princess Royal’s heart is hurt.

I can do nothing to cure her.

Loser! Get out!

Get me all the Imperial Physicians! Hurry!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Aunt, hold on.

The physicians are coming.

Aunt! Aunt!

Rui.

I’m here.

I’m already old.

I know I’ll die.

Aunt!

I’ve done enough to my nation.

But...

Hua. Hua. Hua!

Hurry!

Go get Princess Fule and Marquis Jingting!

And the Ban family! Hurry!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Hua.

Grandmother.

Hua.

I’m late.

I’m too late.

I’m so useless.

Don’t cry, good girl.

Why are you in a red dress?

You’re married?

Who is your husband?

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

Be nice to Hua.

Otherwise,

I won’t let you off.

Don’t worry, Grandmother.

I’ll take good care of her.

Mother!

Mother!

-Mother! -Grandmother!

-Mother! -Mother, what happened?

-Mother! -Grandmother!

Son, here you are.

Yes. Yes. Mother!

-Mother! -Mother, what happened to you?

-Mother! -Mother!

Hua’s husband

looks handsome.

Take good care of them.

Aunt,

I will.

I...

I’m going to see my husband.

-Mother! -Grandmother!

Your Majesty.

Bury me

with...

with my...

my husband.

Mother!

-Grandmother! -Mother!

-Mother! -Grandmother!

-Mother! -Mother!

-Grandmother! -Mother!

Mother!

-Aunt! -Grandmother!

My mother is gone! Mother!

Mother!

I saw that in my dream!

Grandmother!

Hua, it’s not your fault.

Grandmother, wake up! Grandmother!

-Mother! -Grandmother!

Grandmother, wake up!

Your Majesty.

I’ve adored Princess Fule for a long time.

Please marry her to me.

Why are you saying this at this moment?

Your Majesty.

Princess Royal is dead.

I don’t want to break my promise.

It’s my honor to marry Princess Fule.

Please marry her to me, Your Majesty.

Mother!

Princess Royal Dening

is dead!

Princess Royal has great reputation and is going to heaven!

Princess Royal has great reputation and is going to heaven!

Princess Royal is dead!

Emperor Yunqing fulfilled her wish

and buried her with Old General Ban.

Mansion of Peace and Longevity She was buried in Ban’s Ancestral Hall

and was titled Princess Royal Dening.

Everyone in the nation should mourn for three months

when there should be no entertainment or wedding.

The whole nation will be in mourning with an amnesty.

Sir, we’re not enemies.

I’ll... I’ll give you all this.

Please spare me!

Not enemies?

Madam Chang! Madam Chang, help me!

Cui.

Princess Royal was nice to you.

Why did you betray her?

I was confused! I was mad about money!

Madam Chang, forgive me!

Forgive you?

It’s what Princess Royal should do.

Ask her for forgiveness yourself.

Madam Chang!

Your Highness, thank you for saving me.

Don’t thank me.

If Princess Royal didn’t die in the palace

and Father granted an amnesty,

I wouldn’t have got you out.

Watch your language, Your Highness.

Xie Chongjin, tell me.

We had planned to make Rong Xia fight against Princess Royal

so that I could get benefits.

But now why are they

getting closer?

If the Crown Prince has more power,

my plan to be the Crown Prince will be empty talk.

Is this your plan?

Princess Royal died unexpectedly.

It was also surprising

when His Majesty married Ban Hua to Count Cheng’an.

But since Princess Royal is dead,

you don’t need to fear the Ban family.

You’re right.

I can take the chance

to get rid of the Ban family and Count Cheng’an together.

Your Highness, there’s a bright future.

Why do you choose a worse one?

What do you mean?

Isn’t it the perfect chance

to get rid of the Ban family or Count Cheng’an?

Your Highness, have you thought about it?

When you don’t have real power,

even if the Crown Prince has no supporters,

you can’t be the new Crown Prince.

But when you have the military power,

even if all ministers support the Crown Prince,

you don’t need to be scared.

You mean…?

Just get to the point.

Count Cheng’an or Ban Hua isn’t the key.

The key is

the Tiger Tally.

-Greetings, Your Majesty! -Greetings, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Before Princess Royal Dening died,

she asked you to take care of yourself.

Now, you’re so self-accused

that you don’t investigate the assassination case.

I’m afraid Princess Royal will be uneasy in heaven.

Sorry for my wild words, Your Majesty. Please punish me.

I know

you care for me,

just like my aunt.

What have imperial guards got

for the case?

Your Majesty.

The assassin was disguised as the tea servant.

He ran away from the study after the assassination

and was caught by imperial guards in the northeast.

Then he poisoned himself.

As for who he is

and when he sneaked into the palace,

I’m not sure.

There are so many imperial guards

in such a small palace.

But they can’t figure out one single assassin.

What do I need you for?

Get out!

Get out!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Don’t be angry, Your Majesty.

Commander Shi has great martial arts.

But he isn’t good at investigation.

May I investigate this case

and figure out what happened?

Now,

you’re the only one

who can help me.

You must figure out

who is behind the assassin!

General-in-chief of the State’s Tablet Princess Royal Dening’s Tablet

What’s wrong, father?

Are you alright, Master?

I’m fine. I’m fine.

On the day my grandmother was assassinated,

how did you know I went to the palace?

Why did you insist on searching her mansion?

What did you do to my grandmother

in the study?

Answer me!

Hua.

I...

If you have anything to do with my grandmother’s death,

I won’t let you go!

Hua.

Your Grace.

My sister said she didn’t want to talk to you.
