[The Princess Weiyoung]

[Episode 50]

Jun Tao!

Cheng De!

Cheng De!

Your Highness, please save Cheng De.

Don't worry.

Someone from the manor slipped through your fingers?

This is my fault.

Please forgive me, Master.

Cheng De spoke with the informant.

We can't let him stay alive.

Otherwise... We will be in trouble.

Don't worry, Master.

I have a way to get rid of him.

General sent a letter.

He needs your assistance.

What is it?

General said that Cheng De had been in contact with

the Minister of the Imperial Clan's servant.

He might already have found out about some matters.

In order to keep things in order, he must not be kept alive.

This drug will cause the wounded to die from their injuries.

What are you doing?

I'm going to visit Cheng De.

Step aside!

His Highness has given strict orders.

Master Cheng De is recuperating. No one is to disturb him.

Does that include me?

Cheng De is like a brother to His Highness.

I'm going to visit him.

Your Highness.

I'm just here to take a look.

Just do what you should.

Yes.

Imperial Physician, how is his injury?

Master Cheng De is severely wounded.

I've already prescribed him medication and treated him with acupuncture.

This should ensure that his life won't be in danger.

His Highness and I regard Cheng De as our brother.

Now that he's injured, there's nothing much I can do.

I'll feed him the medication.

Your Highness is so gracious. Master Cheng De will surely recover.

Here, it's time to take your medication.

Master Cheng De!

Are you all right?

Didn't I give orders not to let him be disturbed?

Your Highness.

I'm worried about Cheng De's injury.

I...

All right. All of you, leave the room.

Get out.

Yes.

What just happened?

Li Chang Le tried to kill me.

You're not safe here.

We have to move you.

Your Highness.

This was given to me by the informant.

Young Mistress, it was Chiyun Nan.

That man is Chiyun Nan.

Chiyun Nan?

Isn't he dead?

How could that man be Chiyun Nan?

I fought with him.

Although he tried to disguise his stances

I still recognized him.

At first, I couldn't be sure.

But then I heard a few masked men address him as general.

Why didn't Chiyun Nan escape after surviving the assassination?

Why would he kill the Minister of the Imperial Clan?

Could it be... that he was the mastermind behind Crown Prince Jing Mu's case?

It can't be him.

The Chiyun family has fallen.

Why would he still have to kill the Minister of the Imperial Clan?

There must be someone manipulating him.

This person is the one covering up his tracks.

Chiyun Nan violated Grandfather's biggest taboo.

Even if he survived, he is no better than a stray dog.

But then who would have the power and the courage

to conceal Chiyun Nan's identity?

It seems that someone else benefited the most from my father's case.

You're referring to Tuoba Yu?

Chiyun Nan has already sought refuge with Tuoba Yu.

Who else but him could make Chiyun Nan obey orders?

If that masked man truly is Chiyun Nan

and Tuoba Yu is behind him...

it means that...

It means that...

I was right.

Tuoba Yu did cause my father's death.

Your Highness!

Are you really going to confront him now?

We don't have any evidence.

What can we do about him?

I can't live under the same sky as my parents' murderer.

I am no son of theirs if I don't avenge them.

Don't hold me back.

Tuoba Jun!

Could you really avenge your parents by acting so recklessly?

If you insist on going, I will come with you.

However dangerous it might be, I will accompany you.

Wei Young. Is power that important?

He actually murdered his own kin just for the sake of power.

I must avenge my parents.

We'll do it together.

We have to take action on two different levels.

First of all, capture Chiyun Nan.

Use him as bait to lure out Tuoba Yu.

Secondly, we must find the account record as soon as possible.

If we are to capture Chiyun Nan

we could use Li Chang Le.

Min De, come with me to lure out Chiyun Nan.

Sure.

Wei Young, follow the informant's lead and search for the account record.

Young Mistress, I'll go with you.

It's my duty to protect you.

- But your injuries... - I'm fine.

By the way, should we inform Ninth Princess of this?

Our target is now Tuoba Yu.

Both Tuoba Yu and you are her family.

You're like the flesh on both sides of her palm.

She's very kind-hearted. This will put her in a great dilemma.

Min De has a point.

We'll keep it from her.

Aunt Di doesn't have to be involved in this matter.

You have been heading out early

and returning late at night. It must be tiring.

This soup replenishes stamina.

Have a bit more.

So should you.

You're always worrying about chores. Have more food.

I'm already very content just hearing you say so.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Eat without me.

I have urgent matters to see to.

Really? Are you positive?

Of course!

The lead from the Minister of the Imperial Clan might be lost

but there's another account record hidden in Ziyin Abbey.

The person who kept the record is a close friend of the abbot.

No one knew about it.

Great. There's no time to lose.

Let's set out tonight.

Whatever the method, we have to make that abbot hand over the record.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I've already made plans.

It's fine as long as he hands over the account record

but if he doesn't, I've come up with 800 ways to make him...

Your Highness.

Will this work?

We shall see about that tonight.

There's another account record?

Her Highness overheard them very clearly.

The other account record is kept in Ziyin Abbey outside the city.

General, what should we do now?

Be it true or false, since it concerns the account record, we can't dismiss it.

General, it's best to inform His Highness first.

His Highness told you not to make your own decisions again.

However, His Highness has gone to the military base today.

Going back and forth will just take up too much time.

Moreover, His Highness wasn't pleased with my previous performance.

If I can redeem myself by retrieving that account record

our position before His Highness will be strengthened.

General!

Now that our destiny is tied to that of His Highness

should the prince fall, the Chiyun family could never make a comeback.

Whatever it takes, we mustn't let Tuoba Jun get hold of the record.

Convey my orders to our men.

Prepare for a fierce battle tonight.

Yes.

General, I'll come with you.

You?

Since General said that I'm the most outstanding killer warrior

how could I not join you in the combat?

All right.

[Ziyin Abbey]

This is the place.

Where has Li Wei Young gone?

Alms-givers, I wonder what brings you here

to our abbey late at night.

I'd like to see Abbot Qing Song.

The abbot is already in bed.

Please come again tomorrow.

We have to see him tonight!

Don't you recognize who this is?

Prince of Gaoyang?

Please wait in our main hall.

- Allow me to inform the abbot. - Don't bother. It's urgent.

Take me to him right away.

- This way, please. - Stand by.

General!

You have taken good care of everyone in Chiyun Manor while I was away.

- General. - Hong Luo.

Should I fail in this mission tonight...

I'll leave Chiyun Manor in your hands.

You're the only person I can trust in this world.

Your Highness, this way, please.

Your Highness.

I'm here at the abbey for the account record.

Abbot, you should know the significance of that record.

I need not explain any further.

Your Highness, please keep it safe.

We have the record.

Let's leave right away.

Hand over the account record and I'll spare your wretched lives!

Is this what you want?

Chiyun Nan!

You could have left.

But now you can't even if you wanted to.

You already figured out my identity.

Who ordered you to carry out the massacre?

It's fine if you won't talk. I know.

The person who ordered you has been Tuoba Yu all long.

He caused my father's death.

He wiped out the minister's family to cover up his crimes.

You colluded to frame the loyal officials and kill the innocent

all for the sake of power!

Does power matter more than lives and kinship?

Someone can make you talk.

Take him back with us!

I'll report to His Majesty early tomorrow morning.

I'll see how long you can keep quiet before His Majesty.

Get up!

Tuoba Yu!

General!

General.

I... I have always been very fond of you.

I thought that I could stay by your side forever.

But I can never do so again.

I can never...

Tuoba Jun.

Li Wei Young.

I will make you die tragically!

Your Highness, I have not failed you.

I have shot Chiyun Nan and all his killer warriors.

He asked for it.

How dare he take action without my permission again and again?

If I hadn't made you keep an eye on him

wouldn't I suffer a crushing defeat if he ended up in Tuoba Jun's hands?

But I think Prince of Gaoyang already suspects Your Highness.

Even if he figured out that I was the mastermind

Chiyun Nan is already dead.

He has no evidence to prove me guilty.

However, he won't let Your Highness off.

It was supposed to be a battle of life and death between us anyway.

And I...

I will show him no mercy!

Those men are highly skilled in martial arts.

I followed them until they entered Prince of Nan-An's Manor.

It really is Tuoba Yu.

Is there any clue?

I've visited all the jade shops in the city.

No one has ever seen this jade ornament before.

In addition, I went to the treasure room in the manor

and found the compartments shifted and destroyed.

Residents nearby said that it was done by some men in black.

I think that it must have been Chiyun Nan and his men.

That informant...

Does he have any family or friends?

I visited all the inns and restaurants near the treasure house

and whoever recognized him said that he had always been alone.

It seems this lead is now a dead end.

Whatever happens, we must find the account record.

Chiyun Nan?

Carry him out.

Chiyun Nan is the real culprit behind the massacre?

Didn't he die a long time ago?

Who can tell me what this is all about?

Your Majesty.

Chiyun Nan wasn't killed then.

He concealed his identity and sneaked back into Ping City.

He was hiding right under my nose and I didn't even know it?

That's because... some powerful official in the city covered up for him.

He then became this official's assassin.

He was in charge of various assassinations.

This powerful official was the mastermind behind

the massacre of the Minister of the Imperial Clan's household.

Who is the mastermind?

I don't have any solid evidence yet.

However, I feel very strongly that

the massacre is related to Crown Prince Jing Mu's case.

What?

Your Majesty.

Crown Prince Jing Mu was framed.

The so-called personal gains and corruption...

That was an intentional setup.

Setup?

Who framed Crown Prince?

Minister of the Imperial Clan had an account record

that could prove him innocent.

I hope that Your Majesty could make a decree

to have the case re-investigated.

Father.

There's one matter I fail to comprehend

and I'd like to ask Prince of Gaoyang about it.

I investigated the massacre case with Prince of Gaoyang.

By right, should Prince of Gaoyang discover any clues

he should inform me about it.

According to what I know

the Metropolitan Governor knew nothing about Chiyun Nan either.

Prince of Gaoyang acted without us knowing

so I can't help but doubt his motive.

I wonder how you can explain this.

There is a lot at stake.

I have no choice but to take caution.

However, this is just your one-sided story.

Do you have any evidence?

Otherwise, with just a corpse, you expect Father to believe that

Chiyun Nan was behind the massacre and even Crown Prince Jing Mu's case?

Isn't that a bit far-fetched?

You're right. Jun, where is that account record?

I...

At the moment, I...

I don't have it yet, but I'm telling the truth--

Jun.

I know that you're very worried about Li Wei Young's safety.

You're eager to acquit her.

But the massacre of a high official's entire clan is no laughing matter.

Do you know how dignified His Majesty's imperial decree is?

How could you joke around with it?

How can official matters of the court be influenced by personal affairs?

He is still a child.

I am telling the truth!

- Chiyun Nan really is the murderer! - Shut up!

You have gone against me again and again for Li Wei Young.

Do you have no regard for law and order anymore?

I do!

Tuoba Yu.

Do you really think that you can cover things up?

It was you... You killed Chiyun Nan.

You're the mastermind.

Grandfather.

Prince of Nan-An caused the death of my father.

Prince of Nan-An was behind the massacre.

Indeed, I don't have any evidence yet.

But I believe that one day

all your crimes will be exposed one by one.

Father, if you want to condemn someone, you can accuse him of anything.

I am innocent.

Please investigate it.

Grandfather!

You know me well.

If I didn't know for certain, I'd never accuse my own uncle!

I caught Chiyun Nan.

He could have been alive to tell you the truth!

Unfortunately, he was assassinated!

That is why I don't have any evidence now!

The gods will know that I'm telling the truth!

That's enough!

Who knew that the offspring of the Tuoba clan would end up like this?

You actually spoke ill of each other right before my eyes!

You have really embarrassed me as well as the Tuoba clan!

Look at you!

Is this how an uncle and nephew should behave?

One accused his uncle without any proof!

The other showed no regard for kinship while deprecating his own nephew.

Do you think that I didn't notice it?

You're not fit to be my son and grandson.

Get out of my sight.

Get out of my sight!

Father, please appease your anger.

I don't know what made Jun misunderstand me so.

In order to prove my innocence, please give them another chance.

If they find any evidence within the deadline

Father can punish me however you wish.

Fine.

I will give you three more days.

If you can't find any evidence within three days...

If I can't find any evidence within three days...

I am at your disposal.

Fine.

Why would you say that to His Majesty?

We know that it's unlikely we'll find any evidence.

Tuoba Yu said all that to provoke you.

You only fell for his tricks doing what you did.

Tuoba Yu killed my father.

He even acted innocent before my grandfather.

When I saw his hypocritical face

I couldn't help but expose him!

He wants you to make the wrong move before His Majesty.

We have no evidence.

By accusing him, it only makes you seem unreasonable to His Majesty.

Unconsciously, he took sides with Tuoba Yu.

It now puts us at a disadvantage.

I couldn't care less.

I must take him down.

I know that you hate him, but we have to stay rational.

Hypocrite.

Despicable!

I'm despicable?

Do you think that your father was a kind man?

Do not insult my father.

For anyone who wishes to take the throne

whose hands are stained with blood?

Me... Prince of Dongping...

Your father...

We are all alike.

Your father had a good son.

Unfortunately, you will end up like your father.

I will defeat you.

Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu.

You'll suffer retribution for stooping to such despicable means!

Retribution?

I only believe when there's a will, there is a way.

One day, I will get what I want.

This man is ruthless and stops at nothing to get what he wants.

Now that we are openly against him

I'm afraid that he won't hold back anymore.

I still believe that good will always prevail over evil.

I won't admit defeat.

What?

My cousin is dead?

He was fine yesterday.

He even informed me that he was going to retrieve the record.

That was a trap.

Tuoba Jun used you!

What do you mean by bringing so many people in here?

I believe that you have been informed.

There's no need to pretend anymore.

You really have been using me all this time.

You used me again and again.

You destroyed the affection I have for you.

Is that how you should treat me?

Li Chang Le.

You killed my mother.

I could never tolerate living with my mother's murderer.

How do you expect me to treat you?

You say that I killed your mother?

You have it wrong.

Li Wei Young was the one who killed your mother.

As for me...

I am your legal wife!

How could you treat me so?

You're still trying to slander Wei Young?

If you really have any evidence, you can kill me.

Then you could live happily ever after with Li Wei Young.

Kill me!

Kill me! You can kill me!

You don't have any evidence.

What can you do to me?

I will always be your wife.

You can't get rid of me.

You can't get rid of me!

Keep a close eye on her.

No one is to enter or leave this room!

Yes!

Tuoba Jun!

I hate you!

I curse you!

You will never have Li Wei Young!

You're destined to be separated by death!

I curse you, Tuoba Jun!

I curse you!

Since Crown Prince passed away...

Trouble has been forming among my sons and grandsons.

Perhaps all conflicts will be appeased if I appoint my apparent heir soon.

Zong Ai.

Who is the most outstanding of my sons and grandsons?

I wouldn't dare speak out of turn.

Speak your mind.

I will pardon you.

Come over here.

Your Majesty is still in your prime.

There's no need to appoint an apparent heir so soon.

Only if an apparent heir is chosen and mentored ahead of time

will the others give up any desire to covet the throne.

Only then could brothers, uncles, and nephews be friendly to each other.

Zong Ai. Tell me.

Who is the most outstanding one?

If we were to choose the outstanding ones

it's definitely Prince of Nan-An and Prince of Gaoyang.

But... I can't tell which of them is the more outstanding one.

It's just that in my opinion, Prince of Nan-An has a more

similar temperament to yours.

Yu...

He is resolute and decisive.

He is indeed a lot like me when I was young.

As for Jun...

I saw that he handles matters in an orderly way.

I even had high expectations of him.

However, it now seems that he is still too young.

He lets his emotions get the better of him.

He's not as firm.

Why would you suddenly bring me here?

This is a custom of my hometown.

If you hang this on a tree, you can send your thoughts

to those who passed away in the family.

Grandmother, Father.

The man who murdered you is now dead.

The people of Liang are no longer slaves.

As for me...

I've finally found the man to entrust my life to.

You can all now rest in peace.

Father.

Mother.

I've already found your true murderer.

However difficult it might be, I will avenge you.

And...

I will spend the rest of my life with the woman I love.

Don't worry about me anymore.

Look!

They are here to visit us!

Tuoba Jun.

Do you know why I brought you here?

It's because I wish to tell you something before my family.

Even if your parents left you

even if your kin betrays you

you still have me.

I'll stay by your side.

I'll never leave you.

I've already grounded Li Chang Le.

No other information will be leaked.

We must stay alert whenever we're out and about.

Tuoba Yu won't allow us to find the evidence so easily.

He'll do all that he can to hinder us.

The evidence must lie in this stone.

However, what does this stone mean?

The informant was from the Minister of the Imperial Clan's Manor.

The stone must be related to the manor somehow.

How about this? We'll split up to take action.

Wei Young and I will head over to the manor again.

Your Highness, you will be in contact with many officials

because of the mutual trading treaty.

Pay more attention to the imperial court.

Cheng De and Jun Tao will keep an eye on Prince of Nan-An's manor.

Check on them to see what they are up to.

Just in case, if they are conjuring some scheme

we could then take precautions.

Yes!

Jun Tao.

You just recovered. Be careful not to expose your identity.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

We've received news that His Majesty intends to appoint an apparent heir.

He complimented you greatly

while he criticized Prince of Gaoyang for being overly emotional and flustered.

It seems that Your Highness was right to provoke the prince.

This is just the first step.

In three days, when they have yet to find any evidence

and Tuoba Jun kicks up a fuss over Li Wei Young's punishment

he will then really infuriate Father.

Father has fought battles all his life.

How could he entrust his nation to an overly sentimental man?

I'm worried that they might discover something.

They are all highly cautious.

Those men that I sent after them couldn't track them at all.

If we can't track their whereabouts, we'll stir up some trouble for them.

That should distract them.

Your Majesty, I have a matter to report.

I found the corruption case of

Crown Prince Jing Mu highly suspicious back then.

However, His Highness passed away very abruptly

and Your Majesty was in too much sorrow to bring this case up again.

Hence, I kept the doubts to myself.

Now, I beseech Your Majesty to re-investigate this case!

Your Majesty!

Crown Prince Jing Mu was compassionate and righteous.

He loved the people dearly.

I still can't believe that

he would do anything immoral.

I beseech Your Majesty to re-investigate this case!

Clear Crown Prince of the allegations!

Your Majesty.

Although Crown Prince Jing Mu was compassionate and righteous

anyone could make mistakes.

There was solid evidence to prove him guilty then.

This can't be deemed as an unjust case.

Moreover, it has been many years.

Many of those related to this case are no longer alive.

I'm afraid that re-investigating this case would do no good

and even cause problems!

Your Majesty! Master Wang is absolutely right.

I object to the re-investigation of Crown Prince's case.

Please reconsider, Your Majesty!

Please reconsider, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Crown Prince's case was handled very carelessly.

Didn't Your Majesty also once suspect

that there was something amiss about the case?

Grandfather.

Father always trusted and respected you.

Do you not know my father well enough?

The dead cannot be revived.

But can Grandfather really ignore my father's grievances?

All right!

I've decided to re-investigate Crown Prince Jing Mu's case!

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Did you... arrange for the officials to make this request today?

You now hold great authority.

You can influence the imperial court.

However, you can't manipulate Grandfather.

My father's death has always been Grandfather's hidden anguish.

You can't stop him from finding out the truth.

What now?

Are you scared?

You're afraid that Grandfather will find out what you have done?

Jun.

As the son of a sinful concubine, I was scorned and despised by others.

Father didn't care about me, and my brothers belittled me.

You can't imagine the suffering and humiliation I endured.

I finally made my way here.

I've overcome so many obstacles.

Do you think that I'd be scared of the challenge you lay before me today?

This is not some challenge.

It's punishment.

The outcome of a challenge goes both ways. You win or you lose.

But I won't lose.

That's why it's a punishment.

Where did you get all this groundless confidence from?

Tuoba Yu.

I don't care how gloriously you have made your way here.

Listen up.

In three days, you will come to an end.
