The Love Lasts Two Minds

Episode 19

Morning,

Mr. Zhao.

Are you here to say goodbye?

I’m taking the two convicts to the capital.

Mr. Zhao,

are you going to leave the case at that?

We’ll continue the investigation.

But the emperor has approved Lord Bo’s request

to let Beiyan escort Lord He’s coffin to the capital

and hold a funeral there.

Plus, Yanxi’s name has been cleared,

he’ll go back to the capital with Beiyan too.

So Princess Changle and I

have decided to take the two convicts

and case files to the capital first

and work on it with the Court of Judicial Review.

Yuan,

now Beiyan

and Yanxi are going back,

how about you?

Do you want to

be a constable here forever?

I...

My life as a constable here is quite comfortable.

It’s care-free

and unrestrained.

But your mother has been looking for you.

She’s sent a lot of people

to look for you everywhere.

Really?

I...

I can’t follow you.

I can’t recall anything from the past.

Maybe it’s better this way.

Living a simple life can make people happier.

Princess,

Yuan Qingli wouldn’t get her act together.

She’s still trying to seduce Mr. Zhao.

It’s fine.

Sheriff Jing is the only one

that Yuan loves.

Zhao Yan wants to woo her,

but he won’t succeed.

You trust Constable Yuan so much?

It’s too bad that I’m leaving.

If I could stay longer,

I’d help her get Sheriff Jing.

Then her dream will come true,

and she’ll never fight me over Mr. Zhao again.

Princess.

Constable Yuan.

Princess,

I heard you’re going back.

So I came to see you.

Is there anything I can do?

There’re so many servants.

You don’t need to do anything.

Come sit with me.

There are a lot of snacks.

Help yourself.

Princess,

Zhao Yan is going back to the capital.

I won’t be able to help you in the future.

You should keep trying.

I was just about to tell you this.

Sheriff Jing is a very difficult person.

But he’s good-looking

and talented.

You mustn’t give up.

He’s one in a million.

Don’t worry.

I’ll never give up on him.

I never thought

we’d be drinking tea and chatting

like this one day.

This is really hard-won.

You’re actually so nice.

I wonder how come I didn’t notice this before,

and didn’t become

good friends with you.

It’s really weird.

You never

had an evil intent.

But you used to be such a poser!

A poser?

I used to argue with you over Zhao Yan.

But you’d act like

you’re so reserved and genteel

and that you’ve been bullied by me

every time

before I even made a complaint.

Those men who wanted to please you

all stood up for you

and accused me of being narrow-minded

and bullying you.

People all thought

I was pulling rank on you.

I used to be so wicked?

I even bullied you?

Was I really that amazing?

I wish I were still that resourceful.

You still want to bully me?

No, no.

I mean

if I were that resourceful,

I’d be able to wrap Sheriff Jing around my finger.

It wouldn’t give me a headache like now.

Take it easy.

It’s actually not that bad.

In the worst case,

you can go back to your mother

and ask for her advice.

But I can’t recall anything.

My mother would seem a stranger

if I saw her again.

You were like strangers

in the old days.

Why?

I’ve no idea.

Every time you went to the palace together,

I felt that something was off between you.

But,

she’s my birth mother, right?

I don’t know.

As far as I can remember,

you never got along

well with each other.

Princess,

Mr. Zhao said

everything is ready.

We can set out anytime.

Then let’s get going.

Princess,

shouldn’t you

take the furniture away?

I won’t.

You can have it.

You’re from a noble family.

You should treat yourself well

when you’re not at home.

Thank you.

Xiaohan,

these two cases are very complicated.

Princess Changle’s convoy will go back tomorrow.

Follow them to the capital

and keep an eye on the progress of the case.

What about you then?

My aunt and Heng are strong fighters.

Don’t worry about me.

Yes.

Look at this bedding!

And this curtain!

Princess Changle actually has a conscience.

She didn’t use your room for nothing.

Constable Yuan!

Constable Yuan!

Constable Yuan!

Mr. Li just

saw Princess Changle and Mr. Zhao off.

He said we worked hard recently.

So he’ll treat us with the wine he stored.

Let’s go get the wine.

Alright.

Lord Ye.

Where is Changle?

Over there? I’ll go find her.

Changle!

Brother.

I’ll go back with you.

Okay.

Go!

Have a try.

Very delicious.

No, I won’t.

It’s very delicious.

Brother,

why are you still here?

I’ve been hanging out with Mu Beiyan.

I didn’t expect this would happen.

People in the standalone courtyard

were crying every day.

I was scared and had nightmares every night.

So I left the standalone courtyard

and spent several days outside.

After hearing that you’re leaving,

I started to miss life in the capital.

So I’ve been here

waiting for your convoy.

Brother,

you’re so pathetic.

A girl would’ve done better than you.

Stop eating.

Go!

Let’s order some dishes

and have a drink!

You go first.

I’ll go ask Sheriff Jing

if he will go.

Okay.

Okay, we’ll be waiting for you.

Go!

Zhiwan,

I’ll go to drink

with Ding Cao and others.

Wanna come?

You want to drink

with these men?

Actually,

I just want to have a drink with you.

Yuan,

you can go to Mu Beiyan.

He likes to drink wine,

and he’s your fiancé.

No.

Not that.

Mu Beiyan,

Zhao Yan and Princess Changle

know who you are.

Do you still

want to deny that you’re Yuan Qingli?

So besides that girl

who has married with another person,

you’re also

rejecting me because of my engagement with Mu Beiyan?

Zhiwan,

I’ll call off the engagement.

I won’t give up.

You can do whatever you like.

And I’ll never change my mind.

But I hope that

you can stop your senseless attempt.

You’re causing yourself trouble,

and disturbing me as well.

You rejected me again!

But I believe you’ve got a thing for me.

I trust my feelings.

You obviously like me.

I felt it

several times.

But then,

you just wouldn’t admit it.

Zhiwan,

I don’t get it.

You’re a lot like the girl who gave me this pouch.

What are you saying?

I mean,

sometimes,

I let you take her place.

I apologize for giving you

the wrong idea.

I’m a lot like her?

And you let me take her place?

You said we knew each other very well before,

and we used to be very close.

Why?

You were also very close

to Mu Beiyan,

Zhao Yan,

and many other men.

But I believe that

you’ll only stay with the man

that you love.

So the girl that gave you this pouch

is the one you want to stay with for life?

Even if she’s married,

even if I’m a lot like her,

you still wouldn’t accept my love?

Yes.

I know it’s time for me to give up.

But I won’t.

I trust my feelings.

My heart tells me that

you’re lying.

I won’t give up

unless

you don’t have any feelings for me at all.

You!

How come I’m hungry again?

Do you want to eat something?

I’m not hungry.

Stop eating, will you?

Now this carriage

smells like roasted chicken.

I’ll eat no matter what.

Chowhound!

Stop the carriage!

Stop the carriage!

Feng Ting,

go to the town ahead

and get me a roasted leg of lamb.

Yes.

Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao.

Something is wrong with the convicts.

They died of poisoning.

Judging from the bites

on their ankles,

they should’ve been bitten by snakes.

How come

there are snakes this time around the year?

It’s very weird.

There must be something to it.

Someone killed them on purpose.

Now they’re dead,

how can we investigate the case?

The case was almost over.

See?

I had a hunch

that today is a bad day.

We shouldn’t go on a journey.

Dammit.

I left the standalone courtyard,

but then this happened.

Alright.

I’m

not going with you.

I’m not sure what I’ll have to see

during the journey.

Brother,

you’re such a shame.

Fine.

Just leave.

Be careful.

Guys, let’s go.

Let’s get prepared

and go back to the capital first.

Yes.

Mr. Jing was right.

Lord He’s case is very complicated.

They killed the convicts in front of the princess.

Mr. Jing.

Mr. Jing.

Are you all right?

I’m fine.

I just choked myself.

What’s it?

Lord Zhao is worried about you.

He sent Eunuch Wei to see you.

Where is he?

Let him in.

My lord,

Miss Yuan is waiting for you.

But seems she’s not in a good mood.

You may leave.

Yes.

Why ask me to drink with you?

I just want to find someone to drink.

Mr. Zhao said that

you’ll escort your father’s coffin to the capital.

I thought that

it’s better to get rid of an enmity.

So I invited you to come drink with me.

By the way,

I’ll also see you off.

But I don’t think we are enemies.

I used to be willful,

and always made you angry.

It’s all my fault.

I should drink with you

and ask for forgiveness.

Let’s drink together.

But I’m in mourning.

I can’t drink.

Sorry.

I didn’t think of this.

And I never thought

you’d become so disciplined one day.

Come to think of it,

if I had not been that willful

and stayed at home to take care of my father,

probably the assassin wouldn’t have had a chance.

Maybe

my father wouldn’t have died.

I’m all right.

You can drink,

I’ll keep you company.

You’ll keep me company, too.

Thank you,

Beiyan.

There are some nourishing pills in this box.

Lord Zhao

specifically asked people

to make these pills for you.

They should be good for your health.

Please pass along my thanks.

When I have time,

I’ll go to Zhaozhou to visit him.

Lord Zhao and Concubine Jing

were very close since childhood.

One example

is the piece of jade Lord Zhao sent you.

Concubine Jing had been wearing it

before she married the emperor.

After Concubine Jing died,

Lord Zhao kept it for over 20 years.

Mr. Jing knows that

it’s very precious.

So he’s been wearing it all the time.

He didn’t even let us touch it.

Oh right.

how is Princess Zesheng?

Upon learning that I’m coming,

she wanted to come too.

But

Lord Zhao didn’t allow it.

He said that if she really wants to come,

she should come with great fanfare

one day.

What’s father’s intention?

Well,

I’ve no idea about this.

But judging from what I see,

he’s hoping for an intermarriage.

An intermarriage?

I want to drink more.

Yuan,

is there something annoying you?

I’m very annoyed.

What’s it?

Tell me.

Maybe I can help you.

Maybe you can really help me.

Mu Beiyan,

let’s call off our engagement, alright?

Call off the engagement?

You see,

now

I’m not Yuan Qingli anymore.

I don’t even know

what happened

between us before.

I also don’t understand

why

we were engaged.

I think

we were just friends before.

Right.

Friends.

Mu Beiyan,

I don’t want to marry you.

I understand.

Otherwise you wouldn’t have run here

and become a constable

instead of living comfortably at home.

It’s actually not that.

I think

it’s interesting

to be a constable

and I’m happy every day.

Besides,

I can get to know

people like Jing Zhiwan.

I think

it’s much more interesting

than staying in the capital.

Since you want to call off the engagement,

let’s do it then.

You’re not the same Yuan Qingli anymore.

You can do whatever you want.

Really?

Really.

It’s so great.

I don’t know

why I hung out with other men before.

Now,

when another man gets close to me,

I feel like...

I feel like...

a big caterpillar is approaching me.

Caterpillar?

Right.

Only Jing Zhiwan is different.

I felt that I’m very close to him

the first time I saw him.

I really want to be with him.

And I hope

it will be a lifetime.

I want to stay with him forever.

You like him?

I do.

I really like him.

Beiyan,

don’t laugh at me.

People say that

back in the capital,

countless men

waited in a long line trying to please me.

But now,

I’ve been chasing him,

and I didn’t give up

even though he kept rejecting me.

Beiyan,

tell me,

did I become really stupid

after I lost my memory?

No.

I think it’s very good this way.

You’re pure and cute.

You don’t need to

force yourself to do things.

And you’re much more approachable

than before.

Really?

Really.

That’s good.

That’s good.

This way,

I should continue chasing him.

Jing Zhiwan,

I’m not giving up.

Wait and see!

I’ll conquer you!

Wait and see!

I’ll conquer you!

You!

Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Then just keep at it.

He’s a duke.

He deserves you.

But what about me?

Caterpillar.

I’m also a big caterpillar?

No, you’re not.

You’re not.

Beiyan,

thank you.

Thank you.

Don’t thank me.

You’re not

the same Yuan Qingli anymore.

She was never so unbridled.

Do whatever you want to do,

say whatever you want to say,

and be your true self.

This is very good.

It’s really good.

Watch the steps.

Are you okay?

I’ll send you back first.

Beiyan,

I’m not drunk.

Today I found that

you’re a nice person.

A very nice one.

I didn’t want to be so nice actually.

How about this?

I’ll help you back today,

and tomorrow,

you come to see me off, alright?

Okay.

Okay.

It’s obviously the alcohol

that’s speaking.

You’ll forget it completely tomorrow.

Be careful.

Watch your steps.

Let’s go.

[Shuxin Clinic]

If you still didn’t show up,

I’d go to look for you.

I’m going back to the capital tomorrow.

I want to take your pulse again

before I set out.

My foster father sent someone to me,

so I came late.

Lord Zhao?

The poison hasn’t been removed.

You’ve been taking medications,

your condition should have improved.

But because of the poisoning,

your condition is worse than before.

You’ve been taking the pills

Lord Zhao sent to you, right?

Yes.

Those pills can

help me replenish my energy.

I’ve been taking them for a long time.

It couldn’t be the pills.

Can I take a look?

The herbs that are used

are carefully selected,

and are of top quality.

You’re taking them on a daily basis,

it’ll be good for your health.

I overthought things.

You’re just being dutiful.

I’ve been paying attention to your diet,

the medications your took,

and the tableware you used

since the first time you were poisoned,

but I haven’t found the source of poison yet.

After I go back to the capital,

I’ll no longer be able to treat you.

So,

I’ve prepared

two detox pills for you.

They can’t control every poison,

but they will be effective

in many cases.

You should take them immediately

once the poison takes effect.

Thank you.

Remember,

take them immediately when that happens.

Otherwise with your condition,

you’ll die from organ failure

within three days.

Don’t worry.

Even if it’s for

what you have done for me,

I’ll take good care of myself.

I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.

[Qinhe County Government]

My head hurts.

Lu.

Wake up, Lu.

My lady,

you’re finally awake.

I went to

the standalone courtyard of Palace of He

to look for Mu Beiyan yesterday, right?

Yes.

Then you got completely drunk.

I wonder how Lord Junior

sent you back.

I remember Mu Beiyan said that

he’ll set out today

and escort his father’s coffin to the capital.

He hoped that I could see him off.

It’s so late,

maybe he’s left already.

He kept me company when I was unhappy.

I can’t do this to him.

I should go see him off.

You’re a grown-up.

But you’re still so impulsive.

Don’t get people worried for you.

When can you save others trouble?

Mu Beiyan is going back to the capital,

I wanted to see him off,

but I got up late.

I was afraid that

they may have already left.

So I was in a hurry.

Did I hurt you?

They’ve left the city.

I just saw Zuo Yanxi off.

So I’m really late.

I’m being too horrible to Mu Beiyan.

You can go look for him in the capital.

I won’t.

As long as you’re here,

I won’t go anywhere.

You went out

to buy pear juice without letting me know,

and you ended up embarrassing yourself.

Plus, auntie will punish you too.

Is it worth it?

Of course.

You’re close to me.

Any place can be my home with you around.

As long as you can get better,

anything I do will be worth it.

Mr. Jing,

the medicine.

Mr. Jing,

I think you should go to the capital.

I thought about

the assassinations again,

I don’t think you’re safe here.

Mr. Zuo has been treating your disease,

but now he’s also gone back.

Plus, there’re not many herbs available in Qinhe.

What should we do

if your disease gets worse?

Aunt,

don’t worry.

I won’t take risks with my health.

Mr. Jing,

bad news!

There’s another major crime!

Also over there.

Dig deeper.

And here.

Dig carefully.

My daughter

used to play here very often, too.

Everything was normal here.

But when she came here today,

she saw some corpses

that were buried in the ground.

It rained heavily recently.

Right.

There was a storm a few days ago.

I think the river

flew faster because of the storm

and washed away

the soil

on this side of the river,

so that the corpses were revealed.

It seems that after the river receded,

there was a bad smell in the air.

Mr. Li,

we’ve dug up the corpses.

There are five.

Five!

This mother and daughter must’ve been frightened.

You can send them back.

I’ll check the corpses with Mr. Li.

I’ll burn some spices

made of herbs.

Then it won’t be

that smelly.

When on earth

were they killed?

It’s so smelly.

Here.

The temperature has been changing drastically

over the past several months.

And the corpses were buried underground.

So it may take longer for the corpses to decay.

I guess

it should be two or three months ago.

I studied hard for many years

and finally became a small magistrate.

And now I have to deal with this kind of case.

Keep this under your tongue.

It’ll make you feel better.

Why don’t you give me one?

Mr. Li,

this is the only one I have.

I was supposed to examine the corpses.

Zhiwan thought it’s too smelly,

so he did it for me.

Why would I

give the pill to you?

Examine the corpses!

It’s done.

Did you get anything?

The five were all young men.

Their bodies have decayed,

and their hair has fallen off,

whose faces are unrecognizable.

They were all killed by a sword.

The murderers were brutal.

Their necks were cut through

and they died immediately.

Given the temperature recently,

they were probably murdered three months ago,

and then buried near the river.

The corpses were exposed because of the storm.

They only wore underclothes.

None of them wore a robe.

The underclothes of one man

were delicately made.

The fabric used for the collar and cuffs

is patterned

and is very popular in the capital.

Based on this,

they should be a master and his four servants.

They came from the capital.

We didn’t find

their luggage around here.

And their robes were stripped off and taken away.

Could it be that

they were robbed and killed?

The little finger

of their right hand was cut off.

What?

What?
