The Love Lasts Two Minds

♔ Follow My Instagram @skysoultan ♔ Episode 25

I didn’t know they are from Palace of Ye.

Then it’s easier.

We can just go there

and ask him.

If it’s somewhere else,

we might need to take

the silly Zhao Yan.

By the way,

how’s it going between you and Mr. Zhao?

It was fine in Qinhe,

but once we were back in the palace,

he treated me with

the manners between superiors and inferiors.

Even when he was talking to me,

he kept quite a distance from me.

Mr. Zhao.

Come on,

at this moment,

that idiot

won’t come to the palace.

Princess Changle.

Miss Yuan.

Zhao Yan,

why are you here?

I’m here...

I’m here to visit the emperor.

The emperor?

Is it the way to Jianzhang Palace?

Mr. Zhao,

you came here to investigate the drowning case

by order of the emperor, right?

Yes.

The drowning case.

There’s case in the palace, of course it’s my duty to investigate it.

Oh.

I remembered.

I didn’t get a good look at

the scene by the Lanyue Lake.

Why don’t we separate from here,

you go to Lord Ye’s place,

and I’ll go to Lanyue Lake.

See you.

Yuan.

Let’s go.

I don’t know why Yin died,

but if it was Sese,

it’s not surprising to me.

Why?

She haven’t been here for long,

and knew nothing.

She’s pretty clumsy.

The day before yesterday,

she spilled

the soup I stewed for 4 hours.

I was so angry

that I asked her to kneel in front of the palace.

She only knelt for half a day

before she suddenly fainted.

All the eunuchs and maids

in the palace

can testify for me.

Her face became pale,

and her body was burning hot.

I thought

she’s going to die soon

and don’t die here in my palace,

which would be unlucky.

If Father knows, he would scold me.

So I had no choice

but to ask Yin

to carry and throw her away.

He didn’t come back ever since then.

So

they both

dropped into Lanyue Lake.

That’s too bad.

I’ll admit my error to Father and ask for punishment later.

I’ll find someone to release their souls from purgatory.

Is Yin

close to Sese before?

I don’t think so.

Can you allow us

to have a look

in Sese’s room?

Well…

Yuan,

did you find anything there?

Lord Ye asked Yin

to throw Sese who was severely ill

into Lanyue Lake.

He thinks Yin slipped into water by accident.

What did you find here?

I was looking for the place

where Yin slipped into water with Sese.

It should be here.

These are man’s footprints.

The prints are deep and steady.

They should be Yin’s prints

when he was walking and carrying Sese.

So it’s true that they

dropped into water by accident.

But something is odd.

What?

Why are there two rows of footprints?

and

they are heading towards the same direction.

Miss Yuan,

have you thought about other possibilities?

Other possibilities?

I get it.

The two rows of footprints

are in the same direction,

but the second row was left

by Yin himself

when he was walking backwards.

So based on this,

Yin came here not for throwing her away,

but

escaped to this place with Sese.

Escape?

Why would he escape?

And

what did Yin see

that scared him to fall into the lake?

Mr. Zhao,

where is his body?

Are you still going to investigate?

Of course.

If Yuan says so,

then we should keep doing it.

I don’t have anything else to do anyway,

so I’ll investigate it with you.

Yanxi,

do you have anything to say to me?

Sorry, Ci.

Don’t tell me you are sorry.

This time you’ve hurt yourself

for helping her.

If the sword had gone any deeper,

you would die.

The person you should be sorry for

is only yourself.

But Ci,

I know what I’m doing.

Tan has good nature in her.

She doesn’t have a choice.

All murderers would say they don’t have a choice.

But what about those who are killed?

What did they do wrong?

Why

do they have to die

just because someone else had no choice?

Yes,

she is wrong,

she is terribly wrong.

But Ci,

I want to save her.

You want to save her

because

she’s the junior apprentice of your master

who has medical skills,

knows how to use poisons

and has good martial skills.

Is there anyone else

who can be valued by you like this

other than her?

I only hope

she won’t disappoint you.

Tan won’t keep making more mistakes.

Duke Duan is here.

Duke Duan,

you’ve been back for so long,

why don’t you stay with Yuan.

Princess,

I have my own planning.

I hope you can understand.

I do.

But have you thought if

Yuan can understand?

What your relationship with

Mr. Zuo

and that Wang Zesheng?

Have you thought about Yuan?

Yuan will understand me.

Princess,

why do you want to control

whom Ci wants to be close with?

Just like I want to be close with Yuan.

True.

I like you.

Good luck.

Really?

Of course.

You are still engaged with Yuan.

When I’m back,

I’ll ask Father to give an order

for you to marry him.

Princess,

I asked you before…

If you want to say anything, tell it yourself.

Don’t always ask me to say it for you.

No matter how much I said,

what you do is what matters most.

Besides,

only Yuan can bear with you.

If it’s me,

and if Zhao Yan treats me like this,

I will definitely

beat the hell out of him

and throw him into the Lanyue Lake to feed the fish.

Thank you so much, princess.

Yanxi, have a good rest.

I’ll see you later.

Why did he thank me?

What did I say?

You didn’t say anything nice.

It’s even harsher than what Yuan says to me.

Yunduo,

tell the Palace of Yuan

that I want to invite Yuan to Lanyue Lake.

Yes, my lady.

I want to go too.

Why?

Leave alone.

Yunduo, let’s go.

[Palace of Yuan]

My lady,

Princess Changle just sent Yunduo

to tell us

that she invites you to Lanyue Lake

to have a talk.

In such a cold day?

What for?

Yeah,

it’s so cold today.

Anyway,

it’s quite boring staying at home.

Might as well.

[Jianzhang Palace]

You want me to cancel the engagement

between Yuan and Lord He

so that you can marry her?

Exactly.

No.

Why?

Yuluo has come to the palace for many times.

I didn’t hear

she wants to cancel

the engagement between her daughter and Mu Beiyan.

Besides,

I heard Mu Beiyan

is quite close with Yuan these days.

They often hang out together.

Both of them are not intended to cancel the engagement,

should I, the one who bestowed the engagement

to tell them

it doesn’t count

and I’ll arrange another one for Yuan?

You knows

this Yuan

is not Yuan Qingli

who engaged with Mu Beiyan.

She is not Yuan Qingli,

then tell me

where Yuan Qingli is?

You gave her the identity

at the first place,

then

you can never throw it away.

Unless

you find another same girl

or get that Yuan Qingli back from Ji State

for me.

Nonsense.

You know I put so many efforts

to have made her Yuan Qingli,

then you should also know

how important she is to me.

Your majesty,

I don’t want to let her go.

And I won’t.

Then I’ll

make this clear to you.

You can marry anyone you like

except Yuan.

A woman who was raised by you

broke your foot tendon

and sent you to wolves.

How evil she is!

If you

marry her,

do you want your whole family to be killed?

Aunt Zhixia told you that?

There’s something you don’t know.

Aunt Zhixia doesn’t know the truth of it.

My foot tendon wasn’t cut by….

Zhixia is right.

You are willing to do anything

for this woman.

If it wasn’t her who cut your foot tendon,

why did you keep the truth

from me since you were back?

Because you are afraid

I’ll punish her for hurting you

You want to protect her.

She’s Yuluo’s daughter.

They’ve been separated from each other for so long,

I do feel sorry for them.

So

her unforgivable sin

was written off.

I won’t blame her for this.

But remember,

you will never marry her.

Because no father in this world

would allow his son

to marry such an evil woman.

Your majesty,

Mrs. Yuan and Miss Yuan are here.

Let her wait out there.

As for Miss Yuan,

I don’t want to see her.

Send her back.

Yes.

Zhao Yan,

what is Changle Princess up to?

She asked me to come

but has been hiding from me till now.

It’s Feng Mianwan.

Hey, girl.

Miss Yuan,

let’s talk.

Princess Zesheng.

We are not close to each other.

But there’s something

I have to make it clear to you.

I will

marry Ci.

Princess,

That is your business with Duke Duan.

Why do you need to make it clear to me?

Marry whoever you want.

Do you think I’ll stop you or what?

You can’t even if you want to.

The emperor has decided

to bestow marriage

to me and Ci.

He came to visit the emperor today

to talk about this.

Since you are going to get married soon,

why don’t you go back and prepare for it?

Why do you come to me?

Are you worried

that this almost settled marriage

will be ruined by me?

My love

can’t be taken away by you.

But I heard

you love Ci so deeply

and keep pestering him.

I don’t even know

since when

you’ve been caring so much about me.

Not me,

it’s Ci

who told me as a joke.

You didn’t expect

you’ll be a topic of our conversation

did you?

Unfortunately,

Jing Ci is not that kind of people.

This might be

what you talk about with Zhixia.

Aunt Zhixia did tell me something.

But Ci has always been hiding from you,

don’t you understand?

Pestering him

will only make him hate you more.

If this is the case,

what are you worrying about then?

I’m worried you’ll do what you mother did.

Bother Ci

shamelessly.

You don’t care about your dignity,

but I’m worried you’ll ruin Ci’s reputation.

If you really want to marry him,

then be his concubine.

Be Ci’s concubine.

I didn’t expect

you can be so thoughtful.

You’ve planned every step for me.

But you are a lady in Lord’s house,

you should have better manners than me

who’s born in a military officer’s family.

The emperor didn’t bestow the marriage yet,

and yet you just take yourself as Duke Duan’s fiancée,

thinking about if he’ll have concubines.

This

must sound really funny

to others.

How dare you

to ruin my reputation.

Calm down, princess.

I’m only telling the truth.

Relax.

A man who cannot love someone wholeheartedly,

is not who I want

nor who I’ll take.

If you are really worried to be a joke to others,

then go to beg the emperor

to bestow you the marriage.

I don’t even want to

look at other’s husband.

It’s quite late now,

I’ll go and check

if Princess Changle is here.

Pardon me.

Miss Yuan,

Miss Yuan,

please don’t do this.

Princess jumped into the lake!

Princess!

Help!

Help!

Miss Yuan pushed the princess into the lake!

Why you lost again?

Your majesty has made nice moves.

I feel ashamed.

You are highly talented in chess.

You shouldn’t have lost like this.

Is it because

I don’t allow you

to marry Yuan

that

disturbed your mind?

Yes.

In our lives,

we should insist

what we insist,

and protect what we want to protect.

If we can’t even protect things

we cherish most,

even if we win this round, or win anything

what’s the point?

In the end,

we’ll keep regretting for the rest of my life

for having done the wrong thing.

Are you implying that I

didn’t save your mother?

I dare not to do so.

I

dare not.

Who gave you the right

to play chess with me

and talk with me

like father and son?

And you refuse to take me as your father,

calling me your majesty

instead of Father.

Forgive me, your majesty,

this is my mother’s wish.

Shut up!

Don’t take your mother’s last words as an excuse.

Even if you mother

has some last words

telling you to stay away from me,

can you say that

your coming back this time

has nothing to do with me?

You refuse to call me Father,

so you came back

just for that woman

who almost killed you.

And now you are being disobedient to me for her!

You majesty, that’s not true.

I dare not to be disobedient.

Stop it.

If you still shield the woman

who wanted to

murder you,

I might kill her.

[Jianzhang Palace]

Mrs. Yuan.

What happened inside?

Well…

Mrs. Yuan,

Mr. Xue.

Bad news.

Aunt Zhixia sent someone to tell you

Miss Yuan pushed Princess Zesheng

to Lanyue Lake.

What?

This picture is exactly what I want.

Once I copied it,

I’ll take it back as my father’s birthday gift.

Princess,

princess,

bad news.

What happened?

Something happened

to Miss Yuan.

Princess!

Princess!

Zesheng.

Your majesty,

Ci,

she pushed me into the water,

she wants to kill me.

Yes.

I saw Miss Yuan

have a fight with princess

and pushed her into the lake.

She wants to kill her.

Please show the justice.

How’s that possible?

Yuan won’t do something like this.

She came here because I asked her to come.

I was hold up for a while.

Yuan,

what happened?

She fell into the lake herself

and asked someone to take you here

and set me up.

So that I would be

scorned by everyone

and can’t justify myself like now.

If you have anything to say,

I’ll listen to it.

I’ve already said,

she jumped into the lake to set me up.

Now I’d like to ask

you believe me

or Wang Zesheng

and your evil aunt?

Shut up.

So

you don’t believe me

but this two

vicious women.

Yuan!

How dare you!

What an unbridled behavior!

Who allows you

to talk like this?

How dare you be so rude!

You majesty,

our princess is delicate and fragile,

she doesn’t know how to swim at all.

And she had no enmity

against Miss Yuan.

How would she take her life

just to set her up?

Miss Yuan wanted to killed her but failed,

and now she’s trying to shift the blame.

Please punish her.

Punish her.

Ci,

please tell the emperor

to send me back to Zhaozhou.

Miss Yuan is too ferocious,

too ferocious.

I’ll just stay away from her.

If you still shield the woman

who wanted to murder you,

I might kill her.

Somebody.

You majesty,

there’s something odd in it.

We should look carefully into it before we deal with it.

Yuluo,

I know you love your daughter.

But look at her,

there’s no humanity left in her.

If we don’t manage her,

she’ll do more horrible things.

Take Yuan Qingli

down,

give her 50 lashes

and ground her in the Palace of Yuan.

She can’t leave the palace for 3 years.

I don’t care if others believe me or not,

I only want to know

if you believe me.

If I beg for Yuan now

things will only get worse

and she’ll get more punishment.

Based on the fact,

I don’t know how I can believe you.

I do.

I do.

Yuan,

I believe you.

Okay.

Then do me a favor, princess,

to prove I’m innocent.

How?

I had a fight with Zesheng

right here.

She pulled me

and fell into the lake,

right?

Yes.

I saw it clearly

outside of the pavilion.

She was talking nicely

to you,

you were hurried to leave

and pushed her

into the lake.

Alright,

princess,

do what he said,

push me.

You mean push you into the lake?

I want to rebuild the scene

trying to find

if there’ll be any evidence left

or any injury

when being pushed into the lake

at the same place

so to prove my innocence.

Miss Yuan,

now you are being desperate.

Don’t worry, princess,

there’s handrail,

it’s not easy to fall down.

And since

Princess Zesheng insists I wanted to kill you,

I must’ve pushed you

so strongly

that you flipped over the handrail

and fell into the lake.

Princess,

you have much less strength than me,

besides,

if I hold tight to the handrail,

I won’t fall into the lake.

Okay.

You’ve bullied me a lot.

I’ll take this

as a revenge.

Yuan!

- Yuan! - Yuluo!

Yuan!

Help

save Yuan!

Yuan!

Yuan!

Don’t worry.

Yuan,

it’s okay,

everything is okay now.

Yuan.

It’s okay,

it’s okay.

Your majesty,

the handrail

hasn’t been maintained for long.

That’s why it broke

when Yuan hit it.

Father,

you wronged Yuan.

Look at the height of the handrail,

and the place where Yuan and Zesheng

fell into the water.

The princess can’t fall into the water

without hitting the handrail.

But if she

hit the handrail,

Yuan, who wanted to killed her

must’ve pushed her harder than me.

Why didn’t the handrail break then

instead of now?

No.

This is impossible.

What do you want?

Did you see

the two sets of footprints over there?

One

is mine when I fell into water,

the other

is Zesheng’s when she fell.

I did what Aunt Zhixia said

and rebuilt the scene.

I was pushed into the lake

by Princess Changle.

I fell into the lake

backwards.

So

the tips of my shoes

are not facing the lake.

But look at the footprints

of Zesheng,

her tips of shoes

are facing towards the lake.

That means

she was facing the water

when she fell.

But if it’s what you said,

Yuan pushed the princess to the lake

when they were having a fight.

Then accordingly

she should be standing against the water.

How can she be facing the lake?

Your majesty,

falling into the lake with her facing the water,

it looks like she jumped into the water herself to me.

Is it true

that Princess Zesheng

jumped into the lake

just to set Yuan up?

Zesheng.

Your majesty,

Zesheng didn’t jump into the water,

it’s...

it’s...

them...

It’s them...

They...

Your majesty,

after these days

in the palace,

everybody knows

who she really is.

She is such an innocent and simple lady,

how would she set up someone?

We have a witness.

Father.

Summon the old maid here

and ask her.

Go,

ask her to come here.

Yes.

Now we should know

who’s telling the truth.

Tell us

what you saw just now.

Yes.

I saw Miss Yuan

came here first.

Then

Princess Zesheng came too.

They had a quarrel

and Miss Yuan wanted to leave.

Princess pulled her clothes

and Miss Yuan wanted to get rid of her.

Princess didn’t let her.

Miss Yuan,

Miss Yuan, please don’t do this.

When they were in a stalemate,

the princess suddenly loosened her grip,

and jumped over the handrail

into the lake.

Princess fell into the lake!

Somebody!

Miss Yuan pushed princess

to the lake.

This place hasn’t been maintained for a long time,

and the handrail is old and worn.

Worms have eaten most of it.

Even if somebody

just kicks on it

the handrail will break immediately

not to mention hitting on it.

Help!

Miss Yuan pushed

princess into the lake!

Just as I expected.

If they succeed,

I’m screwed.

Princess Zesheng,

if you were not setting Yuan up,

then you do have a bad temper.

Just because the emperor

hasn’t bestowed you the marriage with Duke Duan

you wanted to kill yourself by jumping into the lake.

Do you like Duke Duan so deeply?

You are so devoted.

Princess.

What a mess.

Alright,

you can leave.

Yes,

your majesty.

Yuan, you have a clear mind.

Seems that you’ve planned

the way out for yourself.

Your majesty,

Yuan just don’t want to be blamed for what I didn’t do.

If there’s no

broken handrail

or

the old maid

who testified me,

I’m sure I’ve already

taken that 50 lashes by now.

If you’ve already had everything planned,

why

don’t you let us

check the scene at the beginning?

Duke Duan said

you can justify yourself.

He will listen to you.

I just want to know

when both side have no evidence,

who will help me,

who will do harm to me,

who will believe me,

who will suspect me,

and who will

push me into hell.

I thought

even if no one in the world

believes me,

I would have one person who believes in me,

just like I always believed in him

no matter when.

But now

how can I believe you,

how can I dare to trust you.

I must be blind

if I trust you again.

Yuan.

I don’t remember

how I treated you

in the previous life.

But if I made pouch for you,

I must’ve given you all my heart.

And as what I can remember for this life,

I did the same.

But I didn’t give you my heart

to let you trample on it

over and over again.

Yuan,

I’m sorry.

Don’t say you are sorry.

I won’t believe

a word you said.

Maybe

Wang Zesheng, who stays with you everyday

is who you love.

I wish her personality can

match with yours.

And you will be together

forever and happy ever after.

As for us,

in our previous life and this life,

it is over

for good.

Yuan.

Ci.

Take Duke Duan

back for rest.

Don’t worry about it, your majesty.

They are just kids.

They’ll be just fine after a few days.
