The Eternal Love S3

Episode 02

Long live the Empress.

Rise.

She looks just like me.

No one finds it weird?

Well, they do say that

nieces tend to look like their aunts.

He must be surprised too.

That's Cheng Cheng.

Oh, no.

Why are you so excited seeing Cheng Cheng?

Cheng Cheng is mine.

Now, the people live in peace

and the nation is united.

But I couldn't slack off.

So I select harem candidates once every three years.

Is there anyone who can alleviate my concerns?

Your Majesty,

The Eighth Young Master of the Mo family is versatile。

He's the most outstanding candidate.

Your Majesty,

I find Young Master Mo quite reserved.

He is a boring person.

I'm afraid he does not possess the talent to entertain you, Your Majesty.

Young Master Mo has excellent sword skills.

Then why don't we have him perform for us right now?

He'll be able to convince the other candidates of his skills as well.

Your Majesty. Princess.

It is inappropriate to brandish a sword in the great hall.

I'm afraid...

It doesn't matter.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Isn't this my perfume sachet?

Why is it with you?

Your Majesty, Mo Lian Cheng is concealing a woman's personal belonging.

His actions are improper.

He has been caught red-handed.

Please deal with him accordingly.

Mo Lian Cheng, what is going on with you?

Your Majesty, please review it carefully.

We should be asking when did the owner

of the perfume sachet remove it

and when did the attendant responsible for her attire put it back in place.

Only I, who have had my body searched, should not be asked such a question.

Your Majesty,

there should be no problems

with clothes prepared in the palace.

I would not have come into contact

Her Highness' perfume sachet either.

You spilled tea on me on purpose.

You must have done it because you admire me

and took the sachet when I was changing my clothes.

Your Highness knows very well

how the tea was split and who

requested a change of clothes.

Your Majesty,

there are a lot of doubts regarding today's matter.

If word got out, it might do the harem harm.

Even if Young Master Mo was wronged,

everything that has happened today

proves that he is unfit to participate in the harem selection.

Your Majesty, please remove him from the list.

Things haven't come out in the wash.

Why does Your Highness refuse to allow me to defend myself?

Ultimately,

that perfume sachet fell out of your sleeves.

Everyone here saw that.

Or do you wish

that Her Majesty be criticized by people?

You...

Official Su.

Investigate this matter.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is wise.

Mo Residence

For generations, the Mo family has always been revered.

Yet today, you have tarnished our reputation.

Not only have we become the laughing stock of the residence,

even the government officials in the neighborhood

have a lot to say about you!

What do you think we should do?

Father, Eighth Brother has always been a man with good character.

It must be a misunderstanding

regarding today's matter.

Her Majesty has ordered someone to investigate it, hasn't she?

I'm sure the truth will come out soon.

Eldest Brother is right.

Once the truth is out,

we'll see if those slanderers

will be ashamed or not.

What do you know, Fourteenth?

Shut up!

I was asking him. Not you!

People only wish to believe what they want to believe.

And they enjoy it.

The only thing we can do

is break the rumors by revealing the truth.

The Mo family has already been criticized by people.

Does the truth still matter?

You don't get to decide if you were right or wrong.

Her Majesty decides that.

Before Her Majesty decides what to do with you,

you will copy the moral codes for men every day.

You will do that right now!

Yes, Father.

Eighth Brother.

You are saying that he stole your perfume sachet?

Could it be because you and Her Majesty

look alike, he has fallen

for you instead?

But that's not right.

If he didn't do something so foolish,

he'd have successfully joined the harem.

Why would he even need to shift his attention to another person?

The entire world knows

that I look like Her Majesty.

I guess I'll have to pretend

that I'm used to it as well.

Your Highness?

He was framed.

I just

gave them an extra push.

Why?

Maybe you guys are thinking in the wrong direction?

Have you guys never thought

that the reason this kind of thing has happened

was that Her Majesty looks like me?

You mustn't say that, Your Highness!

That is highly disrespectful.

Aren't you a brave and invincible guard?

Why are you such a coward?

Stopping Your Highness from getting into trouble due to your loose tongue

is also part of my duties as protecting Your Highness.

However... Regardless of what happened between Her Majesty and him,

I only had to use a little trick

to make him pliant.

Let's see if he dares to look down on me again.

Your Highness's plan was flawless.

However, with your interference,

I'm afraid Eighth Young Master will no longer be able to have a good marriage.

The entire Mo family will be affected as well.

Are things really as serious as you say?

Think about it.

Men's futures

have everything to do with their reputation.

If a man's reputation is tarnished,

that'll be the end of their futures as well.

The reputation of the Mo family will also...

Are you saying that he might be kicked out of his house?

I'm afraid not only that.

Her Majesty is involved.

If he is found guilty,

a lighter sentence would mean that he'll be sent to become a monk.

A heavier sentence might mean he'll be dipped in a pig cage.

Dipped in a pig cage?

Oh, no. Things got out of hand this time.

His brothers

may be affected as well.

Jing Xin.

Come with me to the Mo Residence. Hurry!

Are we almost there yet?

The Mo Residence is up ahead, Your Highness.

A cherry blossom tree?

Quick, stop the carriage.

But we're not there yet.

Stop the carriage!

Stop the carriage!

Your Highness!

Your Highness,

I'll go and notify them first.

Please wait here.

It really is the tree... It must be fate.

No matter how many times I come here,

the person I love is waiting for me on the other side of the wall.

How come I awfully succeeded this time?

Oh, it's because Jing Xin isn't here.

Where is Jing Xin?

Jing Xin? Jing Xin!

Never mind. Forget about her.

I'll just climb in by myself.

This body... This process...

This body is too used to this.

Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng!

Cheng Cheng, it's me!

Come and catch me!

He is doing better this time.

I've lost all my limberness

from taking care of the kids for all these years.

I'm going down now, Cheng Cheng.

You have to catch me.

Here I come.

Catch me!

♪The most beautiful moment is when I fell for you♪

♪Infatuation leads me to jump into a vortex♪

♪From breaking down the barriers to falling helplessly in love♪

♪Every step is a desperate struggle♪

♪An opened heart, a mistake made♪

Mo Lian Cheng!

You let me fall right in front of you again.

You do that every single time!

It hurts a lot.

Men and women...

Should have no direct contact.

♪To love till the world turns upside down, all for this moment of happiness♪

Tan Er.

Who is that?

He even calls me Tan Er.

I've never seen him before.

He is quite handsome though.

Yan Chen came late.

You're not hurt, are you?

Here, let me see if you were injured.

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

Eighth Brother knows about our feelings for each other.

Feelings?

Shouldn't Qu Tan Er and Mo Yi Huai

be the ones who have feelings for each other?

This guy said his name is Yan Chen.

Mo Yan Chen... Then what about Mo Yi Huai?

This is confusing.

Tan Er?

You're mistaken.

I came because of...

Of course I know that

the matter with Eighth Brother was all a misunderstanding.

And you came to resolve it.

Come with me to see my father in the main hall.

Where is Her Highness?

Please.

Please wait for a moment.

Your Highness.

Jing Xin.

Where were you earlier?

We'll talk later.

Father.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Your Highness has come to our humble abode.

Yet I did not greet you at the entrance.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Father...

I almost forgot.

He is no longer the emperor.

There are so many things I have to get used to.

Mr. Mo.

Senior.

Mr. Mo.

I came here today

specifically for Eighth Young Master's candidacy.

It was all a misunderstanding.

It wasn't my intention to cause

so much trouble for the Mo family.

Your Highness' misunderstanding

did make our family

get into trouble.

I especially came here today to tell you

that I am willing to take responsibility.

To take responsibility for Eighth Young Master.

Does Your Highness mean...

Could it be...

There is no need for that.

Putting aside the fact that you and my brother are childhood playmates,

my reputation has yet to be rebuilt.

Even if you would take responsibility,

doing so

would only tarnish your reputation as well.

It would do no good for the Mo family.

Don't worry.

I will help rebuild Eighth Young Master's

and the Mo family's reputation.

I shall wait for good news from you then, Your Highness.

Mo Residence

I haven't figured out what happened to Cheng Cheng yet.

I can't go back to Dongyue.

And I can't see my Yu Er.

And there's this mess right now.

How am I supposed to rebuild Cheng Cheng's reputation?

Jing Xin.

Let me ask you.

Is there a way to spread one's good deeds

around fast

in Dongyue?

You could find a storyteller.

That's right.

I'll have him write a story on Mo Lian Cheng.

And

we'll get the most famous and popular storyteller

to tell the story to the people all day long.

Get it done right now.

The story must be delivered tomorrow.

Yes, Your Highness. I'll get to it right away.

Wait.

That doesn't seem enough.

Find a mason.

One that's good at carving scripts.

And find a few kids

that are smart and good with words.

We'll turn it into a nursery rhyme

and have the children sing it all across the city!

That should do it.

Go on now.

Yes, Your Highness.

Her Majesty wants to know the results

of the investigation regarding the harem candidate incident.

That is why she has asked both of you to come here today.

So you can give Her Highness an explanation as well.

But why has Official Su

yet to report to Her Majesty?

I have failed my duties.

Please ask Her Majesty to allow a few extra days of grace.

I will do my best to ensure that

I find the evidence that proves that Young Master Mo was framed.

Her Majesty asked you to find the truth.

I know the truth.

Did Your Highness

find evidence that proves

Eighth Young Master stole your perfume sachet?

The truth is...

Mo Lian Cheng...

was framed.

But on the day of the harem selection,

Your Highness was the one who insisted that it was Mo Lian Cheng who stole it.

I saw

my perfume sachet slip out from his sleeves.

I was blinded by a moment of rage.

When I thought about it again,

I realized that everyone in Dongyue

knows about Young Master Mo's upstanding character.

But without the evidence,

how could you...

Her Majesty gave me that perfume sachet.

Once you touch the powder inside, you won't be able to rid of the scent for seven days.

Butterflies especially favor the scent.

The harem candidates

had the largest suspicion that day.

If you wish to find out

if Young Master Mo was framed by someone,

or by whom,

you only need to...

gather

the harem candidates

and release the butterflies.

Apart from

Mo Lian Cheng and I, the butterflies

would land on...

of course the most suspicious

harem candidates.

In order to find out the truth,

this is an experiment worth testing.

There is no need for that!

This... This isn't necessary.

Everyone knows that Young Master Mo has a good and fair character.

Even Her Highness is willing to let the matter go as well.

Isn't that a wonderful ending?

The Mo family are descendants of the nation's founding members.

I'm sure Her Majesty will be pleased to know that Eighth Young Master's reputation

has been rebuilt.

I will report this matter to Her Majesty.

I was incompetent.

Her Highness was observant.

I am ashamed.

I've always known

that Official Su is loyal to Her Majesty.

However, if someone around Her Majesty

grows jealous and intends to frame another...

That is a matter that must not be taken lightly.

Yes, yes.

Your Highness is right.

I shall take my leave then.

Your Majesty, as per your orders,

I have summoned both of them to the palace.

I have verified the matter.

Su Yue La's brother, Su Jing Yuan, has been suspected of framing Mo Lian Cheng.

Leave Su Yue La.

I still have use for her.

As for her brother...

Punish him according to the laws.

Do you also think that Qu Tan Er spoke up for Mo Lian Cheng

during the harem selection

to earn my favor?

I suppose it may have just been a misunderstanding

when she accused Mo Lian Cheng.

After all, she has always been

respectful to Your Majesty.

Cheng...

Oh, you're all here.

Perfect.

Your Highness.

How do you think?

Not only did I

clear your name in the palace,

but I also

rebuilt your reputation in the streets as well.

Are you surprised?

Think about how you're going to thank me.

Your Highness is indeed considerate.

I'm sure

that everyone in Dongyue

knows of my good name now.

What do you mean?

What's with that tone?

Tan Er.

The storyteller in the tea houses.

The nursery rhymes sung by the children all across the city.

And the plaque. You did all those things?

Yes! I was trying to rebuild his...

I was trying to make sure his good deeds are well-known and praised.

I know you had good intentions,

but Eighth Brother's mood

hasn't been the best since he saw theses

on the streets today.

Since Your Highness has helped me

rebuilt my reputation,

I'm sure Her Majesty will take pity on me as well.

I shall not trouble Your Highness any further.

What do you mean?

Are you still trying to join the harem?

I shall not disturb both of you any further.

I'll take my leave.

You...

Tan Er, Eighth Brother may appear cold and stoic,

but he is warm-hearted.

Please do not stay angry at him.

You must be thirsty.

Have a cup of tea.

Oh, right.

I just remembered that I've got some government affairs to do.

Why don't we arrange for another meeting on another day?

All right. I won't keep you any longer

if you are busy.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

Don't bother. I can show myself out.

Trying to ditch me? No way.

Hold it right there, Fourteenth.

What did you give Jing Xin just now?

Greetings, Your Highness.

Do you still rank fourteenth?

Still? I've always been the fourteenth son.

That's odd.

Men in Dongyue can only marry one woman.

It takes time for a woman to carry a child...

Does that mean

that you are much younger than Mo Lian Cheng

and Mo Yan Chen?

Quite a few of my brothers are twins.

Didn't you know, Your Highness?

Twins?

I learn something new again.

Seem like they've tried very hard

to have a daughter.

I've always wanted to ask this.

Where are your other 13 brothers?

Why have I never met them?

I don't have 13 brothers.

I have a sister.

A sister?

That's another person I don't know.

Then do you have a brother named Mo Yi Huai?

No.

Oh, I remember now.

Father once said that I had another brother

before Eldest Brother was born.

But they gave him to another family the moment he was born.

I think that was the name they gave him then.

How did you know about this, Your Highness?

So that's why...

Qu Tan Er and Mo Yan Chen were childhood playmates.

I... I have to go back now.

Please excuse me, Your Highness.

Jing Xin.

When did the two of you get so close?

Who? What do you mean, "close"?

Still hiding it.

You and Fourteenth, of course.

Well, that's because

I've been coming here with you as your guard since young.

Naturally, we'd know each other.

Mr. Mo is quite strict with him.

Please do not misunderstand him, Your Highness.

There's nothing to feel embarrassed about.

He will be yours sooner or later.

Didn't Her Highness always told me to mind my distance with him

so that I won't tarnish his reputation?

Why is she saying something like this now?

What are you thinking?

Let's go home.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Sit.

Give me a shoulder massage.

With Jing Xin guarding the palace gate day and night,

Mo Lian Cheng

won't even have a chance to seduce others.

If he dares to come, then I'll dare to ruin his plans.

Want to be alone with her? Not a chance.

Your Highness.

What is it? Is something up?

Your Highness,

Eighth Young Master was reported to have entered the palace.

What?

You can't go, Your Highness.

What if Her Majesty and Eighth Young Master are discussing something important?

All right.

You've been guarding the gate all day. You must be tired.

Go and get some rest.

I'll see

what they have to discuss in the middle of the night!

All right. You've worked hard.

Her Highness

is like an entirely different person recently.

Always at odds with Eighth Young Master.

Why do I feel as if

you've gotten a lot smarter?

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Stop! Let go!

How dare you be so rude to Her Majesty!

It's all right. He just spilled some tea.

Why are you here?

It was just a misunderstanding.

Cheng Cheng, why are you here?

It was just a misunderstanding.

What's wrong with him?

Should we ask for an imperial physician?

No need. I was just taken aback for a moment.

I apologize for scaring Your Majesty.

Why did you come here at this hour, Tan Er?

I've been having trouble sleeping recently.

I wanted to borrow some books from the royal library to help me sleep,

but

I saw a suspicious figure along the palace walkways.

I was worried about Your Majesty's safety

and got anxious, so I ran here immediately.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Tan Er is very considerate.

Your Majesty, that suspicious figure was me.

I am much-maligned now.

And I entered the palace in the middle of the night.

I was worried that would affect Your Majesty's reputation,

so I took the route around the royal library instead.

I didn't expect that I would've alerted Her Highness.

Well, if there is nothing else,

then please allow me to take my leave.

You can leave as well.

I'll take my leave, Your Majesty.

Sorry. Sorry.

I was wrong, okay?

Then, please tell me, Your Highness.

What did you do wrong?

I... I shouldn't have interrupted you

and Her Majesty's affairs...

What are you laughing about?

Since when did Tan Er become so generous?

That you'd let someone else have your husband?

Cheng Cheng!

Is it really you, Cheng Cheng?

Then why did you pretend

as if you don't know me?

I fell from the wall.

And you wouldn't even catch me.

No. Wait.

You acted as if you don't know me

even when there was no one else around too.

Were you pulling a prank on me?

Do you know how worried I was? I...

♪I still remember the vows we made, but the words will not come to me♪

♪I resent that we act as if we are strangers now♪

♪Like the silk from the chrysalis of a reborn butterfly♪

♪Our fate will forever remain entangled♪

What? Did I bump into your teeth?

Please mind your propriety, Your Highness.

Mo Lian Cheng, who am I?

You are the Second Princess of Dongyue.

You are childhood playmates with my eldest brother, Mo Yan Chen.

Please don't be so fickle-minded, Your Highness.

What's wrong with you? Do you not know me again?

I haven't even gotten my answers yet.

What exactly is going on?

Mate. You kissed me first.

Think about it again.

It's true that I can't remember

how I left the room.

And how did she and I...

I only remember that I was searching for the imperial token.

But why am I only missing this part of my memory?

This is the first time\

this has happened since I woke up months ago.

Could this have something to do with my memory loss?

Do you remember now?

Please do not spout nonsense, Your Highness.

All right, all right. I was the one talking nonsense.

I was the one who pulled you to me

and forced you with my tiny physique.

So what? What do you want to do about it?

Whatever the reason Your Highness may have had for visiting today,

I ask you to stop doing it from now on.

Or else, I will have to think that Your Highness has other intentions.

If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now.

Could it be that he was like Tan Er and me?

Sharing the same body?

That'll make things complicated.
