‏Princess Yunle.

‏Young Master Qingyuan,

‏I have just asked for divination here.

‏Can Young Master decipher this sign for me?

‏I do not know what the Princess asked about.

‏Princess asked about predestined marriage.

‏What’s the matter?

‏What does this sign mean?

‏Something that is seemingly close at hand

‏can be in the remotest corner of the earth in the next moment.

‏What are you talking about?

‏How dare you curse me?

‏You little monk,

‏you are so young

and so bad already.

‏Princess, this is what sign says

‏and not what Young Master said.

‏It is obvious that you are talking nonsense.

‏How can there be such a sign anyway?

Who dares

‏to bully my younger sister Yunle?

‏Fifth Elder Brother!

‏Fifth Elder Brother, you came just in time.

‏Decide whether I am in the right or the wrong.

‏This young monk is spouting nonsense.

‏He says I asked him about this sign.

‏King of Rui,

‏Young Master did not utter even a half-word of falsehood.

Princess has drawn this sign.

‏Indeed, it is the worst sign.

‏It indicates that there have been great changes recently.

‏I fear it bodes trouble.

‏Enough.

‏This monk’s cultivation is really bad.

‏He cannot differentiate good from the bad.

‏My Princess Yunle is getting married.

‏Do you want to accompany Fifth Elder Brother

‏to the back of the mountain?

‏When I was a child,

‏Third Elder Brother and Fifth Elder Brother

‏were all piggybacking Yunle.

‏My Yunle is too heavy.

‏Fifth Elder Brother will carry Yunle for the last time

‏before she gets married.

Can you be serious?

‏What.

‏Does my Yunle have something on her mind?

‏Did you not get

‏what you really wanted?

‏Fifth Elder Brother has not congratulated you yet.

‏Fifth Elder Brother, you are always teasing Yunle.

‏Yunle is worried

‏that the things will turn out as Qingyuan said.

‏Everything will come to nought in the end.

‏Is this still the Yunle I know?

‏When did you learn

‏to be swayed by worries about personal gains and losses?

‏Fifth Elder Brother.

‏Fifth Elder Brother, was here a time

‏when you thought you have found happiness

but you have not found it in the end?

‏There was.

‏Was it painful?

‏It was.

‏But the more painful it was,

‏the more was I aware

‏of my true feelings.

‏Fifth Elder Brother,

‏Yunle has grown up.

‏There are some words

‏that Yunle cannot tell Fifth Elder Brother

‏facing him.

‏What...

‏do you want to say that you did not want

‏to marry Fifth Elder Brother as a child?

‏Fifth Elder Brother,

‏I know you are lonely

‏because you were deprived

‏of the motherly love.

‏Even if Yunle gets married,

‏we will always be

‏your family.

‏Yunle will always love

‏Imperial Elder Brother and Fifth Elder Brother.

‏Yunle...

‏When I was a child, I often heard the imperial secretaries say

‏that Fifth Elder Brother is only kind to me

‏because you wanted to control

the daughter of the person

‏you hate the most.

‏Yunle naturally did not believe it.

‏So many years have passed.

‏Yunle naturally understands

‏that Fifth Elder Brother is really good to Yunle.

‏Ever since Eldest Brother Miao entered Lan,

‏I heard people in the palace say again

‏that Eldest Brother Miao is treating me well

‏because he wants to use me as a pawn

‏to help him avenge his family feud.

‏Yunle naturally also don’t believe it.

‏During this time,,

‏Yunle has realized

‏that Eldest Brother Miao is truly

‏a hero with indomitable spirit.

‏But if Eldest Brother Miao

‏becomes imperial son-in-law,

‏he will become Imperial Mother’s man.

‏This may affect

‏Imperial Elder Brother and Fifth Elder Brother’s

‏new army.

‏Yunle understands this.

‏But Fifth Elder Brother,

‏Yunle really wants to

‏hold onto this happiness.

‏I will try my best to make Eldest Brother Miao

‏not betray Imperial Brother and Elder Brother.

‏Yunle,

‏Fifth Elder Brother won’t let you

‏get hurt in any way.

‏Fifth Elder Brother.

‏Quizi, send Princess back first.

‏Yes.

‏Fifth Elder Brother, where are you going?

‏You have been following me the whole day.

‏I have always paid attention

‏to King of Rui’s every move.

‏I have not exposed

‏your identity last time in the palace.

‏I have been too lenient.

‏King of Rui, do not get anxious.

‏I just came here

‏to show King of Rui

‏something.

‏Maybe it can

‏dissolve the doubts in your heart.

‏How is it?

‏Is it painful to see one’s former home

‏totally destroyed?

‏I have been to that place.

‏Yes. This is your home.

‏And mine as well.

‏As a matter of fact,

‏we are of the same kind.

‏No, we are not of the same kind.

‏If we are not,

‏then why are you

‏as fast as I am?

‏How can you see

‏our former planet?

‏Come. Give Heavenly Tear gemstone to me.

‏I can take you back home.

‏I can take you back home.

‏Stop fighting! Stop fighting!

‏Patrons! Stop fighting!

‏Patrons!

Esteemed patrons, do not fight again!

‏You cannot fight here.

‏This is the pure land of Buddhism.

You cannot fight here!

‏Patron, stop fighting!

Patron!

Get out of my sight!

‏Add some more firewood.

You.

‏I asked you to collect firewood,

‏why did you come back now?

‏Did you sneak

‏to the back of the mountain again

‏to look for your two stones?

‏I did not, senior.

‏I saw a person

‏with iron arms fighting in the

‏back of the mountain.

‏Iron arms?

‏Qingyuan,

‏are you daydreaming again?

I am not.

‏You brought so little firewood.

‏How do you want me to use it?

‏I… I accidentally fell into the river.

‏Fell into the river?

Why are you not

‏wet at all then?

‏Qingyuan you are really

‏defying laws human and divine more and more.

‏It seems that

‏I will have to teach you a lesson in Master’s stead.

‏Senior, I...

‏I am going to collect firewood.

‏- I am going right now! - Where is the stick?!

‏Yunle, I heard that Empress Dowager said

‏that she has chosen several good locations

‏to build the imperial son-in-law’s mansion.

‏You should not choose a remote place.

‏Otherwise, several of the imperial concubines

‏will be reluctant to part with you.

‏Yunle will listen

‏to General Miao in the future.

‏Why would she listen

‏to the things we say?

‏I am not going to marry.

‏If Yunle’s words are sincere,

‏that I will go and inform His Majesty.

‏All right, let’s go together then.

‏No, no, no!

‏Sister-in-law, do not make fun

‏of Yunle.

Yunle’s whole face

is beaming with happiness.

‏Imperial sister-in-law is happy for you.

‏Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Du has come.

‏He said she is here to give you

‏the prescription to moisten the lungs.

‏Let him in.

‏Yes.

‏Official pays respects to Your Majesty

‏and Imperial Concubines.

‏Imperial Physician Du, forego with all ceremonies.

‏I always seem to

‏cough these nights.

‏I have to trouble Imperial Physician Du.

‏It is this official responsibility.

‏I have written down the usage and dosage.

‏It should be effective after taking it

‏continuously for seven days.

‏I have heard

‏Imperial Physician Du’s daughter, Du Ruo

‏was travelling with

‏King of Rui a few days ago.

‏They lived on the same boat.

‏Could it be that a happy event is nearing

‏for Imperial Physician Du?

‏Official dares not, official dares not.

‏Concubine Shu is really

‏jesting with this this old subject.

‏Concubine Shu should not talk nonsense.

‏One cannot make jokes

‏about someone daughter’s innocence.

‏Imperial Physician Du, please withdraw first.

Yes.

‏Yunle, do you really want to learn to drink?

‏As long as Eldest Brother Miao likes it,

‏Yunle will accompany him.

‏I know that there is a superb nu’erhong (kind of Chinese wine)

‏at Zhaoyi Nie’s place.

‏I will ask Zhaoyi Nie

‏to bring it.

Imperial Sister-in-law is the most thoughtful.

‏Yunle, who is about to get married,

‏should enjoy her

‏last days of girlhood.

‏Princess.

‏Quizi,

‏which colour do you think looks good on me?

‏Princess is young and lovely.

‏She looks good in everything.

‏Princess, Commander Xue has come.

‏He also brought two jars of nu’erhong.

‏Let him in.

‏Yes.

‏Xue Bi pays respects to Princess Yunle.

‏Withdraw for now

‏There are some things

‏I want to talk to Commander Xue about.

‏Sit.

‏This wine smells good.

‏I heard that Zhaoyi Nie was to give

‏Princess some wine.

‏Xue Bi has especially fetched it for the Princess.

‏Xue Bi, why have you lost weight recently?

‏Is it because I am getting married?

‏How can a true man not have a wife?

‏We grew up together,

‏I have always regarded us as a brother and sister.

‏No, like a younger brother.

‏I understand.

‏Don’t be sad.

‏Come and drink with me.

‏After drinking this cup,

‏we’ll make a fresh start.

‏Heartfelt congratulations, Princess,

‏for finding your Mr Right.

‏I also wish you

‏to find the right woman as soon as possible.

‏One more.

‏I will accompany you.

‏Come.

‏Xue Bi, Xue Bi...

‏It was a waste of me to think so highly

‏about Xue Family.

‏You have put drugs

‏in Princess Yunle’s wine.

‏Where is the Emperor?

‏Why hasn’t the Emperor come yet?

‏I will not wait.

‏Guards!

‏Drag him out and dismember him by five horses!

‏Empress Dowager, spare my life! Empress Dowager, spare my life!

‏Empress Dowager, spare my life!

‏Your Majesty has arrived!

‏Forego with all ceremonies.

‏Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, save me!

‏Imperial Mother, calm your anger.

‏Xue Bi is truly detestable,

‏but this matter should be proved through investigation.

‏What is there to prove?

‏Imperial Physician Du has found out

‏that Xue Bi added the blissful powder

‏to Princess Yunle’s wine.

‏The evidence is still here!

‏Xue Bi,

‏you douchebag!

‏It was her! It was Zhaoyi Nie!

‏The humble official

‏got this wine from Zhaoyi Nie.

‏The humble official does not recall anything

‏after drinking the wine.

The humble official did not even know

‏that the wine was drugged.

‏I ask Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to investigate this matter.

‏Zhaoyi Nie,

‏is what he said true?

‏Was this wine indeed taken

‏by Xue Bi from Cuihua Pavilion?

‏Originally,

‏this female servant wanted to bring the wine

‏to Princess personally.

‏It was this female servant’s neglect.

‏I ask Your Majesty to mete out the punishment.

‏I do not blame you for this. Rise.

‏Thank you, Your Majesty.

‏Your Majesty, Wushuang is wrongly accused.

‏Wushuang has no idea

‏about a blissful powder.

‏How could I put it in the wine?

‏Besides,

‏Wushuang and Princess bear each other no grudges.

‏Why would I plot against Princess?

‏She is lying.

‏She put the drug into the wine.

‏She's the one that killed this humble official.

‏Do you still dare to deny it?

‏How daring, Xue Bi!

‏You made the mistake

‏and now try to frame others.

‏Do you believe that I won't dare to exterminate nine degrees of your kinship?

‏This humble official would not dare, the humble official would not dare.

‏It turned out that the sign

‏was right.

‏General Miao has arrived.

‏Humble official pays respects to Your Majesty and Empress Dowager.

‏Miao Minghu, did you not go

‏out of palace to deal with some matters?

‏Reporting back to Your Majesty,

‏This humble official… the humble official does not

‏want to marry Princess Yunle

‏to become a pawn of the old and new regimes.

‏I, therefore, wanted to leave in secret

‏but I was detained by Empress Dowager’s people

‏in one of the courtyards in Luoshan.

‏Thanks to Wang Shijie’s rescue

‏I was able to return to the palace.

‏I wanted General Miao to check

‏the surroundings of the imperial son-in-law’s mansion.

‏Your Majesty, did you not want

‏to hide Miao Minghu as well?

‏Enough! Leave, all of you.

‏Your Majesty, Imperial Mother.

‏Zhaoyi Nie’s words

‏have reminded this female servant of something.

‏Shortly after the incident, I have blocked the palace

‏and ordered a thorough search.

‏Maybe some clues will be found.

‏Very well.

‏I will leave this matter to the Empress.

‏I want to see

‏who dared to be so bold.

‏Xue Bi, you always wanted to become

‏my ideal son-in-law.

‏You were jealous that I was to marry

‏Princess Yunle to Miao Minghu

‏and used a trick to drug the wine

‏to destroy Princess Yunle’s innocence.

‏I never want to see you again.

‏Guards! Drag Xue Bi out

‏and throw him into prison!

‏The humble official was wronged!

‏Empress Dowager, Your Majesty!

‏This humble official was really wronged!

‏This humble official was framed by Zhaoyi Nie!

‏It was Zhaoyi Nie who framed me!

‏Reporting to Empress Dowager, Your Majesty

‏and Your Majesty,

‏this humble one went to Cuihua Pavilion

‏and found this

‏in Zhaoyi Nie’s bedroom.

‏Zhaoyi Nie, it was really you!

‏I ask Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly.

‏Wushuang is being framed by someone.

‏This matter should be investigated again.

‏I believe

‏that no one would be so stupid

‏to leave evidence in one’s room.

‏Imperial Elder Brother,

‏are you still

‏defending her until now?

‏You are all putting on a play,

aren’t you?

‏You are all lying to me.

‏Lying to me alone.

‏Imperial Mother, this female servant

‏would like to say something but it may be inappropriate.

‏With a situation like this, there is no harm in saying it.

‏This female servant thinks

‏that no matter if Xue Bi was the mastermind behind it

‏or was just framed,

‏killing Xue Bi now

‏will not allow us to hide this matter any longer.

‏This matter is not only related

‏to the reputation of the country’s princess

‏but also the prestige of the whole imperial family.

‏Miao Minghu, you are Li State’ deserter.

‏Becoming imperial son-in-law

‏is a true blessing for you.

‏I want to ask you something.

‏You must answer it truthfully.

‏May Empress Dowager ask.

‏Do you truly

care for Princess Yunle?

‏I don’t want to marry Miao Minghu.

‏I do not like him.

‏Just marry me to Xue Bi.

‏Yunle!

‏How could I have the face (self-respect)

‏to marry Eldest Brother Miao after what happened.

How could I have the face...

- Yunle! - Princess!

- Imperial Physician Du! - Princess!

- Imperial Physician Du! - Wake up!

‏Yunle!

‏Yunle...

‏Princess... Princess...

Empress Dowager is still interrogating

Xue Bi in Shangyuan Palace.

Never mention this name

in front of Yunle in future.

Do you understand?

Princess...

Your Majesties,

Princess woke up.

Come, slowly.

Princess, how are you?

Imperial Physician Du,

withdraw.

Yes.

Yunle,

Fifth Elder Brother knows that you are bitter.

If it really hurts,

then just say it.

If you don’t want

to see that person again,

Fifth Elder Brother will kill him

for you at once.

King of Rui, think thrice.

Xue Bi is guilty

but Xue Family is holding important court positions in Great Lan

and heavy military power.

One must not act recklessly.

Third Elder Brother,

if it is inconvenient for you,

I will secretly

kill that beast

without letting anyone know.

Fifth Younger Brother.

Yunle, as long as you say a word...

If it weren’t for that old woman

who was in the hurry to take Miao Minghu

as her own,

the Xue

would not use

such abusive means.

Fifth Younger Brother!

Don’t think that I

do not understand anything.

In fact, it does does not matter

who I marry,

does it?

The most important thing

is the power in your hands

and the so-called overall situation.

Yunle,

it is not what you think.

Did I say something wrong?

I didn’t like your fights

since I was a child.

I always thought

that as long I do not get involved,

such things would never happen.

I thought

that as long as Eldest Brother Miao

becomes my husband,

I could persuade him not to betray

Imperial Elder Brother’s new policy.

I thought

that as long as I have a child,

I will let him persuade Imperial Mother

to return power to the Imperial Elder Brother.

But I am really stupid.

Imperial Elder Brother,

in your heart,

can anyone be sacrificed

for the sake of the overall situation?

Have I known that something like this will happen,

I would never let

Miao Minghu

come to Great Lan.

All of this is not relevant

to Eldest Brother Miao.

Where is Nie Wushuang?

She is outside.

Yunle, rest assured.

Third Elder Brother will definitely investigate this matter.

I never want to see her again.

I do not want to see

any of you anymore.

Leave! Leave!

Reporting to Your Majesties,

Cuihua Pavilion’s servants

Yang Zhi and Xia Lan were brought.

Paying respects to Your Majesties.

Zhaoyi Nie,

Cuihua Pavilion’s servants have come.

You can confront them.

Yes.

Has anyone been to

Cuihua Pavilion since I left?

After Zhaoyi Nie learned about Princess’ accident,

she left in a hurry.

After that,

no one came in or out of Cuihua Pavilion.

Where was the medicine bottle found?

In the cabinet

next to Zhaoyi Nie’s bedroom.

Was there anything else

in Zhaoyi Nie’s cabinet?

There was. There was.

This humble did not see them clearly.

So it cannot be proved

that this so-called evidence

was really taken out

of Zhaoyi Nie’s

cabinet

or that you put it there yourself.

The humble one is being wronged.

There were other people in Zhaoyi Nie’s bedroom

at that time.

All right.

Your Majesty,

regardless whether Zhaoyi Nie

is wronged or not,

there is something suspicious about this case.

If we go about it

with a big fanfare,

it will only make Yunle uncomfortable.

The what Empress suggests to do?

Let’s just punish Zhaoyi Nie to be locked in Cuihua Pavilion

for three months.

I just do not understand

why would Zhaoyi Nie

leave the evidence in her room

after

putting the drug

into the wine.

This just against common sense.

Your Majesty, please examine it closely

Imperial Brother,

hand this matter to the imperial younger brother

to investigate it clearly.

Imperial sister-in-law can rest assured,

the younger brother has a sense of propriety.

he will never let Yunle

be subjected to any more harm.

Let’s follow the Fifth Younger Brother’ idea.

Rise, Zhaoyi Nie.

Thank you, Your Majesty

Zhaoyi Nie,

whether you are the mastermind behind it or not

will come to light sooner or later.

But Xue Bi

is the principal offender who hurt Yunle.

Xue Mingyi, you unexpectedly made such a decision.

Do you think I dare not touch you?

The official had absolutely no such intention.

You clearly knew that Princess Yunle

is interested in Miao Minghu.

If Miao Minghu were to be instated as an imperial son-in-law,

I would take this opportunity

to break emperor’s wings.

But you just let your

precious son

do such a filthy thing.

I really thought too highly of you.

Empress Dowager, please examine it closely.

This matter was by no means inspired this old subject.

When my son learned that Empress Dowager

intends to marry Princess Yunle

to Miao Minghu,

he had no thought for tea or rice and grieved endlessly.

Son has a weak natural disposition

but this is not something he would do,

even if he was muddle-headed.

He would not dare

to do such a terrible thing.

Xue Bi has always coveted the position of the imperial son-in-law.

Do you think I am not aware of it?

Even if my son really had this idea

I am afraid it was Empress Dowager’s fault

as she has promised him this place and raised his expectations.

Xue Mingyi,

do you feel secure in the knowledge

that the rice is cooked already? (that the situation happened)

If Empress Dowager does not

believe this old subject’s words

that come from his heart

then official can only accept it.

Princess’ reputation

and taking Miao Minghu

in as the imperial son-in-law

was ruined

by Empress Dowager’s ambition.

In Empress Dowager’s heart,

is the loyalty of many years

way inferior

to the power that Empress Dowager wants?

Audacious!

How dare you question me?

I want the power.

Are you not the same?

Have I ever

mistreated you or Xue clan

over the years?

Do you think you are the only one in the world

who wants to protect your child?

Official dares not.

Since the mistake has already been made,

I still hope that Empress Dowager

will give thought to the Princess.

No matter how you deal with this official,

your subject will accept it.

I only want Empress Dowager to understand

that Xue Family’s son and father

are always on Empress Dowager’s side.

As for

the person who ruined Princess’ wedding,

she is still hiding

in the dark.

Empress Dowager

should beware of this person.

A person hiding in the dark?

Even if my son had some

wishful thinking about the Princess,

he would never dare

to use a drug

for such despicable method.

You want to say that

Nie Wushuang lied?

Official dares not jump to conclusions,

but Zhaoyi Nie is emperor’s beloved concubine.

For the sake of the emperor’s new army,

she would never allow Miao Minghu

switch to Empress Dowager’s side.

Besides,

wasn’t the physical evidence

already found in her room?

Enough.

Don't you think the situation is chaotic enough?

Xue Mingyi,

you won’t be able

to save your son

even if I spare him

from the death penalty.

Guards,

Drag Xue Bi out of here

and beat him 50 times with the pole.

Guards!

Father, just let your child die here.

Yunle will hate me forever anyway.

I don't want to live either. Go.

I don't want to live either.

Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!

It’s impossible!

Empress Dowager,

even if you kill my child,

Princess is not be able

to marry Miao Minghu anymore

Does Empress Dowager wish

for the future imperial son-in-law to become crippled?

Very well, Xue Mingyi,

you have figured it out for me.

Official dares not.

Is there anything

in this world

that you and your son dare not to do?

Take him away!

Father… Father!

Empress Dowager!

Father!

Empress Dowager!

Father! Father!

Father!

Paying respects to Empress Dowager

Paying respects to Empress Dowager.

How is Yunle?

Replying to Empress Dowager,

Princess will be fine

after recuperating.

It was just a big shock

and her mood is difficult to stabilize.

I will stay with her.

All of you withdraw.

Yes.

Yunle, talk to Imperial Mother.

Yunle...

Where is the Princess?

Elder Sister,

the meal is set.

Go and have some.

No matter what happens,

you cannot harm to yourself.

I do not want to eat.

Take everything away.

Elder Sister...

Princess...

Princess, why did you come?

- Step aside. - Princess.

Nie Wushuang!

Princess.

Maidservant will go and look for His Majesty.

No need.

Withdraw, you all.

Elder Sister?

Withdraw.

Yes.

Wushuang wishes Princess Yunle peace and happiness.

Nie Wushuang!

You copied so many Confucian classics

and yet

you did such a despicable thing.

How filthy your heart must be!

So Princess has already decided

it was Wushuang’s doing?

If it was not you, who else?

Although Xue Bi likes me,

he would not dare

to get me by such despicable

means.

You did not want to see Miao Minghu

marry me.

You are afraid that he’ll become an obstacle to Third Elder Brother,

am I right?

You did not hesitate

to use such despicable means

to gain more trust

from His Majesty!

I can’t believe your heart

is so vicious.

Tell me,

did you

do this thing?

I want you to swear.

If you tell a lie,

you will never get

my Imperial Brother’s feelings.

What, are you afraid?

You also have things you cannot part with.

Knowing how hurtful it is,

why were you so ruthless

when you hurt me?

That wine...

Nie Wushuang,

I just want

a clear answer.

Princess,

even if you find

the answer that you want,

nothing can be undone.

The truth can only make Princess

Why did you do it?

Why did you

take away my happiness?

I trusted you so much.

I have treated you like a dear elder sister.

Why?

Have you been

pretending in front of me?

Princess, if you want to vent out and scold me,

just let it out.

Eldest Brother Miao...

Princess,

this whole matter is unrelated to Zhaoyi Nie.

If Princess wants to hit someone, let it be this humble official.

Ever since this humble official learned

about Empress Dowager bestowing the marriage,

I have decided to refuse this marriage.

But the humble official was overcautious

and dared not open his mouth

until this big misfortune

suddenly happened.

Princess and Commander Xue

are talented man and a beautiful woman, an ideal

couple made by Heaven and arranged by Earth.

Humble official is just a Li State’ rebel.

After committing such a sin,

humble official dares not claim ties of kinship with the Princess.

I don't want to listen to this! I don't want to listen to this!

I don’t want you!

I don’t need your blessings!

You cannot refuse marriage!

I ask Princess to mete out the punishment.

If Princess wants to vent your anger on someone,

just hit this humble official.

It is this humble official who dares not claim kinship with the Princess.

Don’t think that

I don’t understand anything.

Why do you have to sacrifice our love

for the overall situation?

Miao Minghu,

if you do not have the slightest affection for me,

why did you give me your jade pendant?

I hate you! I hate you,

Miao Minghu!

Elder Brother...

Qianqian, Eldest Brother is fine.

You can rest assured.

She will not come back.

Elder Brother,

are you here to ask

the same question as Yunle?

Qianqian, Eldest Brother understands.

No matter what happens,

you would never abandon being good and honest.

But not everyone in the world

knows you as well as Eldest Brother does.

Eldest Brother came today

because he was worried that you cannot protect yourself

in the palace.

His Majesty once told me that there are

some grievances and misunderstandings

in this palace.

One can only swallow them

for the sake of the overall situation.

I won’t be able to pull out this thorn

out of the Princess’ heart.

Princess, where have you been?

When Empress Dowager came over

and found you missing,

she dispatched all guards

to find you.

Princess don’t be like this!
