The Love Lasts Two Minds

Episode 18

Sheriff Jing,

Constable Yuan,

Lord junior.

News came that

Mrs. Xue jumped off the cliff.

What?

When was it?

The news just came.

It says she died in Mount Luodiao nearby.

Her body was taken back to Lord He’s house.

Let’s go.

Sheriff Jing, please be there soon.

Princess Changle and Mr. Zhao

should’ve got the mews too.

Sheriff Jing,

you dropped your pouch.

In your second life,

why do you still remain the same?

Even the mandarin ducks you embroidered look the same.

You’ve forgotten everything,

but why do you still remember these?

Ma’am.

Madam.

Ma’am.

Ma’am.

Why is there another dead body?

Who is it this time?

Yuan,

you look odd.

Does it have anything to do with you?

Princess,

the dead is Lord He’s wife Xue Zhaoyi.

Yesterday we found some clue

that might be related to Mrs. Xue.

We were looking for her.

But then

this happened.

That’s why you feel sad, you lost your clue.

How did she die?

Princess,

she jumped off the cliff.

But according to the guardians who followed her,

she should’ve lost her mind

before she jumped off.

Princess,

she must’ve

lost her mind

over Lord’s sudden death.

She was mourning in the room,

all of a sudden she ran out in red robe.

Doesn’t that show she’s mad?

Princess, wait.

Princess.

Why didn’t you stand aside a bit?

It’s my fault.

Princess, are you okay?

I’m okay.

Princess should’ve been

disgusted by the smell of blood

since you don’t feel well recently.

If you don’t feel well,

why don’t you go and have a rest,

and I’ll ask someone to prepare new clothes

for Mr. Zhao.

Good.

Somebody

come and take princess and Mr. Zhao to change their clothes.

Princess,

Mr. Zhao,

this way, please.

Why would her highness

join this mess?

It’s not her fault.

The body was severely damaged

and looks really scary.

You are also a daughter of privilege,

don’t you feel scared?

Maybe I’ve forgotten

how’s that feel like.

I’m like born as a constable,

living a rough life.

Princess.

[Shuijing Pavilion]

Princess.

You still look bad.

Are you really okay?

Why don’t you go back to co…

let Dr. Zuo to have a look.

I’m fine.

It’s my fault.

I should always stand in front of you

if this kind of thing happens.

It’s because of my incapability

to find out the truth

that made you scared.

It’s my fault.

Who said it’s your fault?

If anyone says so,

I’ll beat him.

If the truth of this case

was easy to find out,

Lord He wouldn’t have been killed by someone.

You are not the one to blame.

If there’s anyone to blame,

it should be me. I should’ve asked before.

If I had known she looked that terrible,

I could’ve prepared myself

and avoided being embarrassed.

How would this be your fault?

You are a girl

who should just stay

in fine houses

away from all those bloody things.

You took so much effort

coming here to look into the case yourself,

because you have a sense of justice in your heart.

I truly respect you.

No one

can say

you did anything embarrassing.

Do you really think so?

It not how I think,

it’s the truth.

It must smelled bad just now.

Have some plum.

The dead fell from high cliff.

She’s been extensively damaged on her face and body.

Her face can’t be identified.

Two guardians and I were very close to Mrs. Xue

before she jumped off the cliff.

We just didn’t make it to stop her.

At the scene,

there was only her on the cliff.

Did she really die from jumping off the cliff?

Xiao Xiao,

you saw Xue Zhaoyi jumping off?

Yes,

I saw it with my eyes.

Do you want to check the body again?

Princess Changle was scared to vomit only at a glance,

and still you want Yuan…

I’ll do it,

I’ll do it.

You must have a reason

to ask me that,

right?

If I can’t be with you

forever,

you have to be stronger

and more cautious

to take good care of yourself.

But why

do you trust me so much?

Towel.

What’s wrong?

Mrs. Xue didn’t do

any rough work, did she?

She was not the legal wife,

but she was literally the hostess of the house.

How could she do any labor work?

Look at her palm.

Calluses.

What has she done

to have such thick calluses?

Tweezers.

Yuan seems to have some competence.

Let’s keep digging.

I have faith that

we can find the truth.

Princess is right.

I’ll try my best to find the murderer.

Rice?

Why would there be rice?

Xue Zhaoyi was dead from jumping off the cliff,

why would there be rice in her throat?

Princess, Mr. Zhao.

There’s something wrong with the body.

If I’m correct,

this person is not Xue Zhaoyi.

The dress is the same

and the body shape is the same,

but she’s not Xue Zhaoyi?

No.

Xue Zhaoyi is a lady of dignity,

who lives in ease and comfort.

But the palm of this body

is covered with calluses.

Clearly she had years of toil,

which does not match with Xue Zhaoyi.

And even if Xue Zhaoyi lost her mind,

she wouldn’t just jump off the cliff

with rice in her mouth.

Indeed, princess.

This person should’ve been killed while she was dinning,

and was changed into Xue Zhaoyi’s clothes.

Then she was dumped into the valley

with her face smashed,

so that we would think

Xue Zhaoyi was the dead.

So you mean

Xue Zhaoyi is still alive,

and maybe she murdered someone

to pretended she was dead.

If she planned all this,

then she’s not crazy at all.

Not only she’s not crazy,

but has a sober mind to

come up with such a fake-death plan.

We suspected her

for the case of Lord He.

But now she’s pretending to be mad and dead.

Seems that she must have something to do

with Lord He’s case.

I think

Xue Zhaoyi might still be around Mount Luodiao.

Princess, please concentrate soldiers to search Mount Luodiao.

Princess, please give the order to search for Xue Zhaoyi.

Somebody.

- Yes. - Yes.

Do what Constable Yuan said.

- Yes, ma’am. - Yes

Come on.

Show me

the name list of the maids in the house.

Xue Zhaoyi lives in the palace for years.

The murdered one should be also from there.

This is the list you want.

Let’s check now.

Check what?

Lord junior is going to check all the maids

hoping to find

the victim killed by Xue Zhaoyi.

Aren’t we checking together?

I need to go the Mount Luodiao with princess

to find Xue Zhaoyi.

You are still in mourning.

You shouldn’t go out.

Stay here to check the maids.

But there are so many of them.

Should I

ask Jingyi and people from county government

to help you?

No.

Never mind.

You are not familiar with people in my place.

Do what you need to do.

I’ll ask someone in the house to help me.

Okay.

Yuan,

whoever killed my father

must be a real devil.

Be careful.

I will.

Are you sure there’s something wrong with Jin Dade?

Yes.

You’ve seen

how the dead looks.

Ma’am,

Ma’am.

Her faces was totally ruined,

yet Jin Dade was so sure she’s Xue Zhaoyi

at his first sight.

You shouldn’t have done this, madam…

There’s something wrong with him.

Very true, princess.

If there’s someone picking Xue Zhaoyi up

she should’ve left Mount Luodiao already.

You asked me to concentrate the force in Mount Luodiao

in front of him

so that he could be off guard,

go out of here

and pick Xue Zhaoyi up.

You’ve figured it out already.

You just didn’t say anything.

Not only you can draw inferences about other cases from one instance,

I can also find what’s hidden in your words.

Princess is my confidant indeed.

Now I like you even more.

I started to like you too.

But

will Jin Dade come out through this door?

Most people go in and out

[Shuxin Clinic]

through this door of the clinic.

So people won’t be aware of it.

Even if he didn’t come out through this door,

Zhao Yan is guarding other doors

with his men.

Zhao Yan looks silly,

but he can do a decent job.

Even if Jin Dade wants to get out from other places,

he’ll catch him.

Let’s go.

Sheriff Jing,

what are you looking for?

Just looking around.

Just say that you are worried about Yuan.

Don’t be so sneaky.

I’m not.

I’m looking for Zhao Yan.

I’ll leave Yuan to you.

You must protect her or I’ll come for you.

Yuan,

mark along the path,

I’ll find you with Zhao Yan.

Don’t worry, princess.

Let’s follow the bird.

It’s after Jin Dade.

He can’t get away.

Hurry.

Let’s go.

[Chongwu Yard]

I’ve asked manager,

these two were seen today,

so they can’t be the victim.

About the other two

manager needs to check the garden.

If they are there,

then it can’t be them either.

Wait.

Lord junior,

you think there’s something wrong with those two?

No.

No.

Look,

checking the maids

in the house

can be done by you,

or the manager.

Yuan kept me in the house,

to look for Xue Zhaoyi.

I’m sure she doesn’t want to exhaust you.

She wants you to have more rest in the house.

With the murderer still out there

and Yanxi in prison,

how can I still be resting?

I know.

Yuan must’ve found out

where Xue Zhaoyi is.

She just wants me to stay out of it.

Let’s go.

Lord junior,

where are we going?

To revenge.

Constable Yuan.

Jin Dade,

where are you taking Mrs. Xue?

Princess Changele and Mr. Zhao are on their way here with more people.

All the roads nearby are blocked.

Where can you go?

Just give up.

If you don’t,

you’ll just die sooner

and suffer more.

Yuan, you little fool.

How can you

leave me behind

when you are chasing after the murderer of my father?

Yuan.

Good for you.

You found them.

Sheriff Jing should take all the credits.

He knocked him out

with only a few moves.

I only helped a bit.

Just a bit.

Come on, get him.

Why do I still feel there’s a long way to go?

He’s always indifferent.

You must take him down.

Tell me if you need anything.

I’ll do my best to help you

no matter what it takes.

You are the best friend ever.

Let’s do it together.

Great.

Somebody

take them back to the county government.

Yes, sir.

Thanks to you and Sheriff Jing,

otherwise they would’ve run away.

But don’t tell Mu Beiyan the truth now.

He has a quick temper.

What are they two

up to?

Right?

Their smile makes me feel creepy.

Mu Beiyan?

Who told him?

Not me.

He found it out himself?

I’ll kill those two ungrateful villains!

Lord junior,

no.

Get out of my way.

I’ll kill them, chop them and feed dog on them.

Mu Beiyan.

Stop.

At least wait till we interrogated them.

No wonder you father scolded you so often.

Mu Beiyan,

don’t forget

Zuo Yanxi is still in prison.

How can we get him out of there

if we can’t find the murderer?

Right.

Calm down, Mu Beiyan.

After we found the truth

and cleared Zuo Yanxi’s name

you can do whatever you want with them.

Beiyan,

we’ve found the murderer,

so we can wait for a little longer.

Okay.

I’ll give you some time.

[Qinhe County Government]

Say it.

Why do you pretend to be dead?

Who’s the dead lady

from the cliff?

Princess,

she’s

the maid Xiao from the Palace of He.

That girl

looked pretty

so I wanted to

have her.

But

she resisted so badly

that jumped off the cliff.

Nonsense.

You know with your status and title

you’ll only get your ass kicked

for killing a maid.

But

if it’s something else,

maybe

you’ll even lose your life.

I...

I don’t know what you are talking about.

Lord He was always in the troop,

and barely went back to the palace,

not to mention Xue Zhaoyi’s room.

Why the parrot in Xue Zhaoyi’s room

would call out

Xue Zhaoyi’s nick name

that only Lord He would call her?

And where did it learn

those conversations between man and woman

in dating?

The only explanation is that

Xue Zhaoyi is having an affair with someone.

No,

it’s not true.

The day Lord He was killed,

he came to

Xue Zhaoyi’s room.

He heard what the parrot said

and realized

she was having an affair

and beat her badly.

While Xue Zhaoyi’s lover

was extremely scared

and worried if things were found out,

he would die in misery.

So he decided to kill Lord He immediately.

And you are her lover,

Jin Dade.

Somebody

lock her up!

When I found her lover,

I’ll feed the dog on both of you.

You disgusting dog.

My father treated you well.

How dare you have

such a disgusting affair with her!

I’ll kill you.

Beiyan.

Calm down.

It’s not the truth.

It’s not the truth.

Your highness,

Lord had a bad temper,

and bad health.

He always had nightmare

for killing too many lives

in the battlefield,

and vented it all on me when he woke up.

I couldn’t tell anyone about it

and only Dade pitied me.

That’s how we

had an affair.

But we would never dare

to kill our master.

But you came to me

so I had to pretend to be mad and dead

to save my life.

Look,

there.

Mrs. Xue

Mrs. Xue.

I’ve arranged everything down there.

We have to leave now.

I heard you were looking for me,

and I thought

you’ve found out my affair

with Dade,

that’s why I wanted to run away.

But God knows

I didn’t murder the Lord.

You would rather take the accusation of adultery

than killing your master,

wouldn’t you?

No,

it’s not true.

Sir, please.

I’m wronged.

I’m wronged.

Sir, I’m really wronged.

Sir.

Stop it.

If you are really wronged,

then please

hand out the 35g

of poisonous grass.

Wh...

What?

What grass?

I don’t know.

Jin Dade had sinister motives,

so he should’ve found out

the effect and location of poisonous grass early.

And he stole 35g of it from Shuxin Clinic

at the end of last month.

Lord He

regarded highly of Jin Dade,

and gave you clothes

that he no longer wore.

Plus, your figures were similar,

and it’s a dark night.

No wonder Xin mistook you for Lord He.

The night Lord He found out the affair,

Jin Dade was worried he might be caught,

so he put the grass

into Lord He’s dinner.

Sheriff must be joking.

Please tell me

how would I be capable of

hiding everything from everyone?

I heard on that day,

there was a dish of fish slices in his dinner.

Yes.

People at my father’s age

shouldn’t eat cold food.

But he loves the freshness of fish slices

and never listened to our words.

Let’s sort out Lord He’s timeline that day.

At dusk, Jin Dade prepared the food,

but Lord He was being furious with Zuo Yanxi,

and the food went cold.

So Jin Dade asked someone

to prepare another set.

To prepare another fish slices

was of course, not a problem

for the palace.

Even so,

it’s not clear

how my father took the grass.

Actually,

the grass

was under the fish

all the time.

Under it?

Last time when we were investigating in the kitchen,

I found they always use ice

to keep the food fresh.

Oh,

Lord likes to eat

iced fish slices.

And the fish slices Lord He ate

would also use the ice.

Jin Dade laid a thick layer of poisonous grass

on the plate,

covered it with ice,

put the fresh fish on it,

and served it to Lord He.

By that time,

the grass didn’t touch the fish,

so when the servant tested the food,

there’s nothing wrong with it.

That’s how

you managed to test.

It’s warm in the room,

and before long

the ice started to melt.

The melted water soaked the poison on the plate,

gradually flew up

and touched the fish.

That’s how Lord He

was poisoned.

Once Lord He was dead,

and Lord junior is a playboy,

so this palace

could be theirs.

No,

it’s not true.

[Justic to the Public]

Later,

the real assassin showed up.

Lord He wanted to

fight back,

but he was barely conscious

and weak,

so he couldn’t fight against the assassin.

The assassin soon took away

his knife,

and stabbed him to the ground.

Later, Lord junior

traced to Xue Zhaoyi.

You are the housekeeper

who knows everything.

You were worried things would come to light,

so you told Xue Zhaoyi immediately

to ran away by pretending madness.

Then you killed the maid

Xiao

trying to get away with her dead body.

Sheriff Jing,

you were saying there was an assassin that night?

Yes.

That person is like a ghost

with unknown purpose.

The recent cases in Qinhe

are all related to him.

I was thinking of that too on my way here.

Why in Qinhe?

Why are there so many

cut fingers

if it was not planned by someone?

So in this case,

there are two groups of people trying to murder Lord He.

Xue Zhaoyi and Jin Dade tried to poison him

with poisonous grass.

But the killer

didn’t know

he had already been poisoned.

He only saw Lord He lying on the ground

so

he killed him.

I feel guilty

to the Lord.

I killed him.

But I was just trying to

save myself.

Moxiang.

It’s over.

We did what we did,

and we shouldn’t be afraid.

Worst case,

we die together,

accompanying each other on our way down there.

It’s better than being a humble servant

inferior to someone.

[Justic to the Public]

You two bastards forgot where you came from.

When you couldn’t even feed yourself,

my father took you

to run the house

and manage the back yard.

When he was in the troop,

the house

was completely in your control.

You were the donkeys in lion’s side.

What an unfettered life you were living!

At that time,

you enjoyed

being a humble servant!

You did such shameless thing

and blamed it on my father

for not letting you two be together

and offering you the palace?

Stop him.

Beiyan, calm down.

This is the government.

They committed crimes,

and this is the place to punish them.

Besides, the man behind the curtain is still out there.

They might be useful later.

Your father expected you to pull the family through.

If you cannot control your temper,

and lost the potential clue,

isn’t this something our enemy wants?

Okay.

Okay.

When I found other clues,

I’ll tear them apart.

[Gather Blessing and Extend Joy]

Beiyan.

What brings you here?

I’ll escort two criminals to the capital tomorrow.

So I wanted to come and see you.

I never thought my father

who had well-earned reputation through his life

would die because of those despicable people.

He doesn’t deserve this.

I’m so sorry.

You still have a lot of things to do.

Yuan is right.

You were Lord He’s

beloved son.

You have to pull yourself together

and don’t ruin your father’s reputation.

Speaking of Yuan,

you won.

Like you said,

Yuan is not

Yuan Qingli we knew.

You’ve thought it through?

Not exactly.

I know all the things you said before

deep in my heart all the time .

I just didn’t want to admit it.

Glad you finally made up your mind.

Yuan does not know

what Qingli does,

but she knows

what Qingli doesn’t.

Qingli was surrounded

by everyone ever since she was born.

She’s elegant and graceful.

While Yuan is skilled in martial arts

with straightforward character.

She is a girl of feelings.

Others don’t know it,

but we know that

Qingli was never

the person we saw.

So I always said

had an another chance,

Qingli might be the way Yuan is.

She’s not as elegant as before,

but more adorable.

Now you know her well,

what are you going to do?

She showed up with Qingli’s identity,

then she is Qingli,

the one I engaged with.

Anyway, Mrs. Yuan

has believed she’s Qingli,

right?

After so many things,

you see things more clearly.

Yes.

If we can tell

Miss. Yuan is different,

It’s impossible Mrs. Yuan

couldn’t see it.

But she still took her in.

What does this mean?

It means she doesn’t want others to know

her daughter has been switched.

And

she’s not worried about looking for

the real Qingli.

Does this mean

Qingli is safe?

I praised Qingli

for her skilled painting of red plum blossom in snow.

On the day

she was taken away,

she sent someone to give me this painting.

I recalled

last year I praised her

for the white peony flowers she planted.

In the season of peony flowers this year,

Yuan ran to Qinhe to escape the wedding,

but Yuan’s house sent me

two white peony flowers.

It should be arranged by Qingli before she left.

If Qingli ran away on her will,

everything makes sense then.

Maybe

even the appearance of Yuan

was part of her plan.

I just don’t understand

who on earth

could let her leave on her own will

apart from Li Yuan.

No matter what,

Qingli takes us as her best friends,

and we can’t let her down.

When I’m back,

I’ll keep looking into it.

At least I need to know she’s safe.

True.

Sir,

sir,

sir.

Something’s wrong with the prisoner.
