The Love Lasts Two Minds

Episode 21

[Stories on the Pillow]

Yuan.

Yuan.

Why isn’t she awake yet?

I thought if you are awake,

I’ll make you some chicken soup.

But if you are always sleeping,

I’ll have to make medicine soup for you.

Don’t.

Zhiwan, I want to have chicken soup.

I’ll make some.

You still have time

to finish this book.

You are not the only one

who are quick-eared and sharp-eyed.

Another bowl?

I’m full.

Then have some rest.

I’ve been sleeping all day.

I’ve had more than enough rest.

If Lu hadn’t stopped me,

I would’ve helped you catch the criminal.

Talk with me.

Then why you pretended all this in front of me?

I wanted to drink your soup.

Ci.

You little foul.

Why are you so silly?

You couldn’t even protect yourself,

yet you were taking those needles for me.

I didn’t know they were poisonous.

Besides,

even if I knew,

I would still do the same.

I believe

if you were me,

and if I were in danger,

you would do the same,

right?

What are you doing?

Come here.

Probably Sheriff Jing is going to

stay with our lady tonight.

Don’t knock.

But Mr. Jing has been working all day long.

He needs some rest too.

Why are you so unreasonable?

My

lady

was injured because of Sheriff Jing.

Isn’t his duty to take care of her?

But…

But…

But what?

What about

we watching stars?

you can tell me

stories

of Mr. Jing.

What do you think?

Let’s go.

Come on.

Clear.

We have been

engaging in Qinhe for years.

Unexpectedly, it was ruined

by Jing Ci.

Master, don’t worry.

Qinhe is ruined,

but things you planned are ready.

You just need to reap your fruit back in the capital.

Damn.

I lost my badge.

I don’t know

if they would find it.

So what?

That badge is to help you

exchange information.

It’s not the badge of Palace of Ye.

It can’t prove anything.

Ci,

when you were Jing Ci

instead of Jing Zhiwan,

what did I do

that made you so angry

that you never talked to me?

You

remembered something?

Nothing.

When I was unconscious,

I had a lot of dreams.

But I know

they are not true.

In the dream,

I was with you since childhood.

You wanted me to marry someone.

How’s that possible?

You think it’s impossible?

You

I’ve compared them.

The pattern

the style

and the stitches of both

are the same.

Both are ugly.

Actually they are okay.

Not that ugly.

This pouch was

made by me too, right?

All the time, I was still in your heart.

You always carried the pouch I gave you.

How would you let someone else to marry me?

You said

the girl who gave you the pouch

has married someone.

You mean

the marriage between me and Mu Beiyan?

No.

It must be.

I didn’t marry anyone.

But somehow

I was engaged with Mu Beiyan.

But don’t you worry.

I’ve made a deal with him.

This engagement does not count.

You told him this?

Of course.

I will only marry the person I like,

not anybody else.

Zhiwan,

I want to know

what happened to us before?

you took my pouch

but stayed away

from me.

Nothing actually.

Don’t hide it from me.

Tell me.

Maybe if I heard more,

I can remember what happened before.

Nothing happened, really.

Actually,

I am severely ill,

and beyond cure.

I don’t want to be your burden.

Don’t bluff me.

Zuo Yanxi

did the same to me.

I don’t want to bluff anyone.

My problem is quite tricky.

Maybe I don’t have much time left.

If so,

then we have more reason to be together.

Life is short.

If I missed you,

and you missed me,

we would die with regrets.

Yuan.

Don’t be scared of sickness.

I’ll find the best doctor in the world

and heal you.

I mean it.

The first time I met you,

I felt we had met before.

We knew each other,

and we were destined to be together.

Maybe in our previous life,

we liked each other,

but we missed each other.

And this time,

I am so stupid

that I’ve forgotten everything.

But at least,

I know I like you

just as you like me.

If we

still worry about this or that,

aren’t we

wasting

our reunion in this life?

I won’t give you up.

If we were not together in the previous life,

in this life,

and afterlife,

and ever after,

I’ll be with you.

Only so

can we make up

the regret that we wasn’t together before.

Ci.

Mr. Jing,

this was Mianwan’s job before.

Was it?

Yes.

Before, every time you were cooking,

you would ask Mianwan to help you with the fire.

You didn’t want

anyone else to help you.

I forgot.

Mr. Jing,

you’ve lost your memory too?

That doesn’t matter.

And the past

doesn’t matter either.

Then

what matters?

The present

matters.

She’s Yuan.

She can see things better

and freer.

She always knows

what she wants

and tries to grasp it the whole time.

I wasn’t doing that great.

I didn’t understand until we faced the death

that instead of struggling with the past

and worrying about the future,

we should rather live in the moment.

At least

we can leave ourselves

no regret.

I understand.

Then if

you marry Constable Yuan,

no,

Miss Yuan,

will

Lu come with her?

You are the assassin from the cell.

Mr. Jing,

take the sword.

Mr. Jing.

Mr. Jing.

[To Yuan To Mr. Li]

One for Yuan,

one for Li Fei.

Give them

after I left Qinhe.

Just tell them directly.

Why bother to write letters?

Don’t let them worry about me.

Especially Yuan.

Should anyone ask,

just tell them I have some emergency

so I hurried back to capital.

Don’t mention my sickness.

Mr. Jing,

I’ve asked someone

to prepare the carriage at the side door.

You can leave now.

Alright.

Later with more people in the government

it’s not easy to leave by then.

Mr. Jing!

Mr. Jing!

Aunt, he doesn’t look good.

Let’s go back to capital soon.

Okay.

He dropped the old pouch

and brought the new one.

Does it mean

he like the current me more?

It looks okay

if you get used to it.

It’s not that ugly.

My lady,

my lady.

Sheriff Jing left.

Who?

Sheriff Jing left early in the morning.

He left a letter

to Mr. Li,

saying he went back to capital for some emergency.

Back to capital?

Ci.

My lady,

I’ve asked

and they all left.

Heng and that mean aunt,

even with their luggage.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

Jing Ci.

- My lady. - Jing Ci.

My lady.

My lady, careful.

My lady.

Nianqi.

Come in for a second.

Yes.

Madam,

what can I do for you, madam?

How long do we still need?

Should be soon.

About two hours.

My lady.

It’s okay.

He had some emergency

and left in a hurry.

Yes, it must be.

You are a perfect girl.

Who would want to leave you?

When we just came here,

we met Mr. Li

and I became a constable.

Now somehow

we are back here again.

Maybe we are destined

to finish it

at where we started it.

My lady,

you want to…

Being a constable in Qinhe for a few month,

we’ve had enough fun.

Let’s go back to capital.

Back?

Yeah.

Ci went back.

We should, too.

I heard

my mother is a tough one.

I’m sure she can settle down my marriage.

We must be with Ci.

Things from the capital look different indeed.

[Qinhe County Government] Things from the capital look different indeed.

Yeah. [Qinhe County Government]

[Qinhe County Government]

Look how magnificent it is. [Qinhe County Government]

[Qinhe County Government]

Exactly. [Qinhe County Government]

[Qinhe County Government]

When can I sit in such a carriage.

What happened?

Some honorable guest came to the government again?

What?

Yuan.

Go inside.

Mrs. Yuan is waiting for you.

My lady.

Please go inside.

My daughter

is always the most beautiful and best girl.

Even as a constable,

you are the most beautiful

and smartest one.

But

the person in the mirror

looks like

a stranger to me.

I have been looking for you

and worrying about you the whole time,

you know?

Mother,

I know I shouldn’t have escaped the marriage,

but at that moment

I had no idea

what kind of person Lord Junior was.

I didn’t

even know

who I was.

So I gave you time

to let you know

who you are.

I heard

you are having great time

pretending to be a boy and catching thieves

in Qinhe.

Would you

rather be Constable Yuan

than Miss Qingli

in the Palace of Yuan?

I don’t know

why would I be like that before.

Those intimates

who were close to me before

only upset me now.

Maybe

I really liked them before.

But now

when I listened to them

telling my story before,

it was like

listening to

someone else’s story.

Sometimes

I felt

maybe it’s a mistake.

I was not Yuan Qingli.

But it’s not only one or two had it wrong.

Everyone in the house

believes I am her.

And a mother

can’t mistake someone else for her daughter,

right?

Of course I won’t have it wrong.

It is true

that you are my daughter.

If you say so,

then it can’t be a mistake.

You are totally different

from the Qingli before.

Mother,

in the capital,

is there a Mr. Jing

called Jing Ci?

I never heard of it.

But

Jing is not a common surname.

If we look into it,

we can find something eventually.

Why are you looking for him?

I like him.

I really do.

I want to be with him,

till death do us apart.

Okay.

As long as he is a good person

and really loves you,

you have my blessing.

I’ll talk to the emperor

to erase

your engagement with Mu Beiyan.

Thank you, mother.

Mr. Li.

Jing,

Ding,

if you come to visit the capital,

I’ll treat you nicely.

Thank you, Miss Yuan.

I’ve been taken care of by Mr. Li.

Thank you again.

I’ll repay your kindness

once we are back.

You don’t have to.

Miss Yuan has helped me a lot

in the county government.

I

truly appreciate it,

indeed.

Let’s go.

[Qinhe County Government]

Mr. Li,

is this real?

This Yuan

is Miss Yuan,

the famous Miss. Yuan

in the capital?

I feel like we were in a dream

where a fairy came

and took another fairy away.

Sheriff Jing’s left,

so did Yuan.

Our government

becomes so quite

and shabby.

[Qinhe County Government]

[Palace of Duke Duan]

Doctor Zuo,

how is he?

I’ve cleaned his toxin.

But this time it was more severe,

and requires more rest.

Okay.

I’ll look after him.

He gave the pills to yuan?

Yes.

And almost killed himself.

Isn’t he

silly?

How many times

is he going to make the same mistake

before he lets it go?

I don’t think he’ll let it go his whole life.

Will he die because of her eventually?

Mr. Zuo.

The emperor wants to see you.

Lord Junior,

The Palace of Duke Xiangyang

and the Palace of Duke Jingxi Marquis

sent someone to mourn for the Lord.

Let my aunts receive them.

Those account books

are a real headache.

Lord Bo

sent another two boxes of tonic.

He said he’s worried

that your deep grief these days

might hurt yourself.

I’ve asked someone to take it

and thanked him on your behalf.

Lord Bo?

He’s always close with my father,

but not with me.

He gave so many attentions all of a sudden

not because my father

was his teacher, right?

But if he’s being nice to you,

why don’t you just accept it

and be closer to him?

Xiao Xiao,

you don’t understand.

Even if I want to

support the emperor in the future,

I won’t choose Lord Bo.

Are you going to choose Lord Ye?

He’s your good friend.

Friend?

My good friend

has disappeared

ever since all this happened.

Only Yanxi can help me in the house.

He’s very considerate.

Where is he now?

Greetings, your majesty.

You may rise.

Yes.

I heard

you went to

Palace of Duke Duan today.

Ci suddenly went back.

Is he having the old trouble again?

It’s getting cold.

Qinhe is not as comfortable as here.

Duke Duan was not adapted to it

and did have his old trouble.

So he went back overnight.

This kid

is not saving my worries.

Don’t worry, your majesty.

I’ve prescribed medicines for Duke Duan,

and I believe he will get better soon.

There’s another thing

I want to ask you.

Please go on, your majesty.

Since I ascended the throne,

Lord Ji from the East of the river

waged many wars against us

to show his so-called loyalty to the former dynasty.

Last year in a major war,

I led the army myself

but didn’t win it overwhelmingly.

Thanks to Mu Zhong

and Lu Ci’an,

I could protect my country.

I didn’t expect

within such a short time

Mu Zhong were departed from me by death.

The grace you gave to my foster father

was always deeply appreciated by him the whole life.

But

what happened to him warned me

nowadays

the central government is not at peace.

Arrange Feilian Squad

to protect major officials in the government.

Yes, your majesty.

I’ll do my best

to merit your trust.

My lady,

my lady, Mr. Jia and Mr. Yi are here.

Where are they?

Madam stopped them

from coming inside.

She wants to know

if you want to see them or not.

No, no, not at all.

Okay.

Tell them,

I won’t meet

any young boys coming for me,

no matter who and what they are.

Don’t let any of them come in.

Yes.

My lady,

my lady,

I got some information.

About Ci?

There’s a Duke Duan coming back a few months ago,

who’s also called Jing Ci.

But only a few met him.

Then I asked about his look and age,

and he’s similar to Sheriff Jing.

Ci is Duke Duan?

If he’s a lord,

why

mother didn’t mention it to me?

Actually

Duke Duan

is the son

of the emperor and Concubine Jing .

Ci is Duke Duan

and emperor’s son?

I’ll go to see him.

[Palace of Duke Duan]

Lord said

no.

That must be wrong.

You heard that from Duke Duan’s mouth

that he won’t meet Miss Yuan?

Yes.

Not from Duke Duan

but Aunt Zhixia, right?

Let’s go.

Do we just leave?

I can find him eventually.

I don’t believe

he can hide from me for the rest of his life.

I hope this stupid girl

can give up on my lord.

Mr. Jing needs peace and rest

not trouble.

Don’t mention to him

that Miss Yuan

came here and pestered for him.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma’am.

[Tao and Teh]

Zesheng,

Ci is Emperor Yong’s own son.

Going back to Yong State

is the right and proper way for him.

What do you want me to do?

I can’t ask Emperor Yong

to send Ci back to Zhaozhou, right?

But we can’t let him

suffer in that country.

Who told you he’s suffering there?

Even if he wasn’t accepted as a prince,

he’s Emperor Yong’s beloved son.

Why would he suffer there?

Aunt Zhixia said

his condition has become much worse.

Eunuch Wei

checked in person

and said he didn’t look well.

My lady,

when I visited Mr. Jing,

he was having a cold.

Maybe that’s why he didn’t look good.

Father,

I’m really worried about Ci.

But now

it’s almost impossible

for Ci to come back to Zhaozhou,

unless…

unless…

You go to Yong State.

Father,

can I go there?

When Yong State and Ji State were having the war,

and Yong State lost,

Zhaozhou went closer

to Ji State.

And we married Feng Mianwan

to General Li Yuan.

I believe Emperor Yong was not happy about it.

If we offer him kindness now,

like sending a hostage to the capital,

and get connected

with intermarriage,

once Emperor Yong

and I

become families by marriage,

then all the enmities we had

will go with the wind.

Intermarriage?

I believe he does not dare

treat the apple in my eye with neglect.

If you want to marry any of his sons,

say it.

He will definitely make it happen.

Father,

I am willing to be a hostage in Yong State

and marry someone there.

Ci is gone,

and if you left me,

what am I supposed to do?

Father,

if I went to Yong State,

Ci will take care of me.

You shouldn’t worry.

Since you don’t want to marry Beiyan,

it shouldn’t be difficult.

But he’s in mourning at the moment,

so it’s not appropriate to bring this up.

I’ll talk with the emperor secretly

and let him persuade Beiyan.

Beiyan is a loyal friend.

He has already promised me.

Now we are waiting for the emperor

to recall his order.

That’s even better.

Your majesty,

I took Qingli back to apologize and ask for punishment.

Qingli,

you are back.

Yes, your majesty.

Qingli was severely ill at that moment,

and couldn’t remember

what happened back then.

During this time away from the capital,

I eventually rebuild my sense and mind.

With Mother’s instruction and guidance,

I realized

what a huge mistake I’ve done.

So I came back with Mother

to apologize and ask for punishment.

You said

you were severely ill.

If I still punish you,

people will say

I am brutal and merciless.

Your majesty,

that accident

almost killed this girl.

Look at her,

she’s like a piece of wood

talking in a foolish way.

I don’t know when she can fully recover.

She’s not a piece of wood at all.

She looks very clever to me.

I heard you were doing a great job

in Qinghe

as a constable.

Solving cases

and catching thieves,

you were good at everything.

Wait.

The tea was just made,

be careful.

You may rise.

It’s nothing serious.

You don’t have to be on your knees.

Yes, your majesty.

Alright.

Now Qingli is back,

you can finally

have a good sleep.

Yuan is back!

I knew once Mrs. Yuan went for it,

you can’t be overbearing

in Qinhe as Constable Yuan anymore.

Changle,

no one can be overbearing

with you here?

Father,

with me here,

Zhao Yan is overbearing all the time.

He always ignores me

because I’ve been nice to him.

Father, you have to do justice to me.

Well, well,

you are not acting like a lady in any ways.

Yuan,

you finally had enough fun

and came back.
