The Love Lasts Two Minds

Episode 29

It’s quite early today.

Let’s go working in the field.

Let’s go.

What’s wrong?

Someone died here!

Go,

let’s leave here.

Come on.

Here.

Don’t worry, mother.

I just felt a bit dizzy yesterday.

After the sleep, I’m totally fine now.

Don’t hide it from me.

Lu told me everything.

You know what,

we don’t need to care

about how other people think.

We got the chance to live another life.

It’s a gift from God.

How can we waste it?

Madam,

it’s not my lady’s fault.

Wang Zesheng

is evil minded,

but she pretended to be innocent.

Don’t think about her now.

Now the most important thing

for you is to recover your health.

Tomorrow is your wedding.

You’ll have a whole busy day.

Mother,

don’t worry.

I have a big heart.

I won’t let those things toaffect me.

You just woke up,

you must be hungry.

Come on,

have some hot soup to warm you up.

I’ll take it.

Princess.

Sir,

why is she here?

How did she die?

Did you tell Ci?

I’ve sent someone to the house of Duke Duan.

He shall be there soon.

What happened?

Sir,

after initial check,

we believe the four of them died yesterday

between 3:00 pm

to 6:00 pm.

How did they die?

According to the shape of wounds,

the five wounds are thin and deep.

The sword of the murderer

should be thinner and narrower

than normal swords.

It’s very sharp.

The murderer is highly skilled.

Two of them

were killed at one stroke

even before they pulled out the weapons on their waists.

As for that lady,

she was strangled to death.

The mark is clearly visible.

So we can deduce that

the palm of the murderer is small

with slim fingers.

The murderer

can be a slim male.

Are you sure?

It can be a female too.

Open it.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Princess Changle has confirmed

the dead is Princess Zesheng.

Then report it to the emperor immediately.

Such a horrible thing

can’t be hidden by anyone.

Even if everybody knows it,

it won’t be strange at all.

Right?

Yes, sir.

I’ll do it now.

Princess,

princess,

princess

princess.

I’m Qiao Li from the Supreme Court.

Nice to meet you, Duke Duan.

At ease.

Where did it happen?

Ci,

sorry for your loss.

How’s the case going?

I found an earring

here.

But

it does not belong to the princess

or Shu.

It shouldn’t be theirs.

We’ve examined

the four bodies

on the boat.

After the primary check,

the murderer should be highly skilled.

And very possibly she’s female,

killed them with a thin

sharp and narrow sword.

Female,

thin and narrow sword.

This earring

shouldn’t belong to the victims.

It might be left

by the killer during the fight,

which further proves

the murderer is a female.

What do you have in mind, Ci?

Princess Zesheng went out of the palace yesterday

to meet with Yuan.

What?

Jing Ci,

don’t wrong Yuan again.

It’s not your first time,

or even the second time.

I know Yuan won’t kill Zesheng.

But I’m afraid

somebody takes this to make trouble.

Then this is really a coincidence.

Yuan is skilled in martial arts,

and her sword, Desecular Sword

happens to be thin and narrow.

I never saw Yuan

wearing earrings like this.

Qiao Li

is in charge of this case.

According to the law,

major cases in the capital

shall be handled by the Supreme Court.

I remembered

Yuan told me before

she saw Lord Ye

having a secret meeting

with Qiao Li.

She might have offended them.

If Qiao Li is in charge of this case,

he might lead

this case to Yuan.

Then Yuan will be screwed!

Don’t worry,

the case will be reviewed by the Ministry of Penalty.

Besides, such a major case

will be given the order

to be co-investigated by the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Penalty.

I’ll have my eyes on Qiao Li

in case he makes any trouble.

And

Mrs. Yuan is powerful too.

If there’s no concrete evidence,

Qiao Li can’t do anything.

Aunt, please don’t grieve too much.

Yes, aunt,

don’t be too sad.

The most urgent thing now

is to find the murderer.

Who else can it be?

It must be Yuan,

Yuan Qingli.

Aunt,

Yuan hates evil as her enemy,

she won’t do such a thing.

You know nothing!

I asked Consort Qiao,

princess went out to meet her

to give her the medicine

so she can find her memory back.

But she did such an evil thing to her in return.

You mean

Zesheng went out

to meet Miss Yuan?

I thought

they did get along with each other.

They had a fight

at Lanyue Lake.

Yeah,

they are not in a good relationship,

so

It’s impossible that Princess Zesheng

would give Miss Yuan the medicine.

You must remember it wrong.

It’s because she has the personal vendetta

that she would kill the princess.

I underestimated her sinisterness.

Just now the official said

princess

was killed by a female.

Who else can have such strength and courage

except Miss Yuan

who is highly skilled

in martial arts?

But aunt,

Miss Yuan will get married tomorrow.

Their house must be extremely busy.

With her disposition,

she wouldn’t

go to meet Princess Zesheng.

We just need to

check her whereabouts

to find out if she went or not.

Don’t worry, aunt.

I am granted with this duty,

I shall find the murderer

in this case

no matter who it is

and give Lord Zhao the truth.

Thank you, Mr. Qiao.

What do you want to know, Mr. Qiao?

I’ll tell you

everything I know

and all the details.

Sir,

we found a handkerchief

in Princess Zesheng’s sleeve

while we were checking the body.

It’s not princess’s.

She never used this handkerchief.

Mr. Zuo,

why are you here?

I heard some big case happened in Xi River.

Princess Zesheng was murdered.

They all say the murderer is a female.

Aunt Zhixia insists

Miss Yuan is the murderer.

But Mr. Jing believes

it’s impossible.

We are still searching for clues there.

I’m afraid it’ll be too cold

at night for Mr. Jing,

so I came back to fetch a coat

and take some medicine

he has every day.

Yeah.

We should be more careful

with his condition.

If you are worried too,

you can go to Xi River with me

and investigate the case with Mr. Jing.

I have something to deal with,

so I can’t join you.

You can make some medicine based on my prescription

and take it to Ci.

He should be fine.

Okay,

I’ll do that.

Okay.

Is it Tan?

No,

it can’t be.

She promised me

she won’t hold a candle to the evil any more.

She won’t break her promise.

[Palace of Yuan]

[Wedding]

[Pavilion of Wind]

[Clean and Righteous]

The golden necklace matches perfectly with the red gown.

It looks delicate and joyful.

You look very well with it.

I’ll wear this one.

Okay.

My lady looks so beautiful.

If Lord Junior

sees you like this,

he must be really happy.

Lord Junior is so devoted

to the wedding.

With so many things happened to him,

he still did every step of the ceremony with greatest courtesy.

Even madam spoke highly of him.

Where’s my mother?

Madam has been summoned into the palace this morning.

The emperor must be thinking

about your wedding too,

and summoned madam to talk to her.

Today is your wedding day,

the palace will grant gifts to you.

Mr. Nianqi went to the royal palace too?

Of course, he went too.

They should be back soon.

They will come back in time.

Lu, go to take my sword.

Okay.

My lady,

surely we will take the

Desecular Sword to the Palace of He.

But after all, it’s a sword.

It’s too strange to bring a sword to a wedding.

Maybe we shouldn’t bring it into the bridal sedan.

Might as well take it

to counteract evil force.

[Pavilion of Wind]

Search this place.

Mr. Qiao,

today is my lady’s

wedding day.

Would you kindly make an exception?

Lord Qiao came to my place

not for the wedding banquet, do you?

We have to

ask Miss Yuan to come to the Supreme Court

for a case.

What case

it is, and I have to go to the Supreme Court

on my wedding day?

You killed Princess Zesheng,

do you think you can still

marry Lord He like nothing happened?

Wang Zesheng died?

Impossible.

Sir,

yesterday before I leave,

she was fine.

And she has two

tall and strong servants

with her.

So you admitted

you stayed with

Princess Zesheng.

Good.

Take this girl back too.

And

Miss Yuan’s sword

as well.

Yes, sir.

Are you crazy?

This wedding is bestowed by the emperor.

Are you intended to ruin it?

Sir,

besides,

Wang Zesheng has an awful evil mind.

It must be another of her schemes

to set my lady up.

Duke Duan has confirmed

and took Princess Zesheng’s

body back.

Are you going to tell us

Princess Zesheng strangled herself

to frame you?

Go back with me

and confess everything.

Wang Zesheng invited me

and now I became the suspect.

My mother

was taken away

at this moment.

Seems that

the trap is set up,

waiting for me to fall in.

There will be a result

Anyway.

If you didn’t do it,

I won’t make things difficult for you.

Come on.

Sir,

since the Supreme Court summoned me,

I don’t have a choice.

Tell my mother and Lord Junior

my wedding

has to be delayed.

My lady.

[Supreme Court]

I heard that day Princess Zesheng

asked you out to give you the medicine.

But after you left,

Princess Zesheng and her accompanies

were found dead in the boat.

Yuan Qingli,

why would Princess Zesheng die

when she was giving you the medicine?

Why would

the four of them die?

Does it have anything to do with you?

Tell me the truth.

Mr. Qiao,

the way you are handling this case

is way too loose.

It’s her who

borrowed Princess Changle’s identity

to meet with me.

I have no intention to meet her at all.

When I saw it’s her,

I didn’t talk too much with her and left soon.

Why do you insist

I have anything to do with her death.

Besides,

I’ll get married soon.

Why would I have the time to mess with her?

And why would I want to kill her?

Exactly.

This

is the letter of invitation

found in Yuan’s room.

Obviously someone

imitated my writing.

Princess Zesheng knew Yuan didn’t want to see her.

That’s why she did this.

Yuan didn’t want to see her,

not to mention mess with her.

Princess,

according to the testimony of maid Zhixia of Duke Duan,

she and Princess Zesheng

didn’t want Miss Yuan to marry Lord Junior,

and asked Zuo Yanxi

to make the medicine

for Miss Yuan

to restore her memory,

hoping she could change her mind

once she had her memory back.

It is said

back in Zhaozhou,

Princess Zesheng didn’t get along with Miss Yuan.

If Miss Yuan took the medicine,

had her memory back,

and remembered what happened before,

she quarreled with Princess Zesheng

and even fought with her,

what happened later

can be a natural consequence.

Is this

how you usually solve cases?

By deducing without logic and wild guess?

Do you have any evidence?

No,

I must ask Tan about it asap.

I can’t have her killed Wang Zesheng

and wronged Yuan for it.

Yanxi.

[Enrich Ocean and Earth]

Ci,

why are you here?

Aren’t you investigating the case?

Qiao Li asked the emperor to give the order

to take Yuan away.

After I and Princess Changle heard about it,

we could only come back.

Looks like they

are prepared.

They are not going to let Yuan go.

Yuan and Mu Beiyan

were investigating your foster father’s case in secret.

They might’ve known too much

and caused themselves trouble.

Now not only Yuan is in danger,

you and Mu Beiyan must be careful too.

Okay.

But the most important person now

should be Yuan.

If it’s the order from the palace,

[Enrich Ocean and Earth]

even Mrs. Yuan

may not be able to save her.

They are in the court now?

Yes.

I’m worried she might be tortured.

Yanxi,

do you have a medicine

that can make the pulse

weak and disordered,

and the taker look like a dying man?

The two guards of Princess Zesheng

were killed by a sword.

I had someone checked

the width and size of the wounds.

They completely match

with Miss Yuan’s Desecular Sword.

Besides,

at the scene,

Princess Zeseheng hid a handkerchief in her sleeve secretly

as the evidence.

I asked the maid from the Palace of Yuan,

she testified

Miss Yuan does have a handkerchief

with a begonia flower on it.

More importantly,

there’s a witness

near the scene

who was there the whole time.

Bring him here.

Sir.

Careful, my lady.

That was close.

Sorry,

ma’am.

It’s okay.

Sir,

yesterday at dusk,

who did you see

in the people here?

Sir,

it’s these two ladies.

You saw them go onto the boat

and come out later.

Yes.

Is there anyone else going onto the boat

after they left?

I was fishing at the river all the time.

I didn’t see anyone go in

or out of the boat

till it got dark.

Getting dark is around 6 pm,

which means

between 3 pm to 6 pm during which princess was killed,

only you two went onto the boat.

Anything else?

Well,

sir,

I remembered,

when this girl left,

she didn’t look good.

There’s blood on her sleeve.

Come over,

is it this one?

Sir,

it is this one.

Yuan Qingli,

how are you going to

explain this?

My lady had a quarrel with the princess,

and split blood when she left the boat.

You saw

the blood is only on the sleeve.

Good,

write that down.

Lu testified

Miss Yuan had a quarrel

with Princess Zesheng

before she left.

Did I say something wrong?

No, you didn’t.

Mr. Qiao is discreet and considerable.

But I don’t know

when you stole my clothes

from my house.

Yuan Qingli,

don’t think you can

override the law

with your family’s power

and background.

We have both human testimony and material evidence,

you have no choice but admit it.

He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find a stick.

Wang Zesheng is going to marry Lord Bo,

and I’m going to marry Lord Junior.

Both of us have our own future.

She suddenly had the wild idea of sending me some medicine.

I scolded her

and threw the medicine away.

Why would I kill her?

You didn’t took the medicine?

If someone who tried to harm you,

and gave you some medicine

in the name of your close friend,

will you believe her?

will you take it?

Of course

you won’t.

Mr. Qiao.

Yuan is going to have her wedding soon.

Even if she hates

Princess Zesheng,

she won’t pick this time

to kill her.

Then where’s the medicine?

If you didn’t take it,

why it’s not found at the scene?

I threw it

into the river.

You threw it into the river?

Don’t you want to get your memory back?

No.

I like who I am,

I can do whatever I want,

I can live a decent life

without taking my cue from others

or being scorned

and timid.

I hate that someone

still wants to

bring me back to Feng Mianwan.

I’ve been manipulated for years.

No one can do that to me anymore.

Yes,

I like who she is now.

She is free

and she can be herself.

Mr. Qiao,

if she didn’t take the medicine,

it means

she didn’t have her memory back,

then why would she

have the impulse

to fight with Princess Zesheng

because her memory was back?

Since Yuan didn’t have the motive for the killing,

you should think carefully

about this case.

Her motive might be unclear,

but all the evidence

leads to her.

Therefore,

before she clears her suspicion,

Miss Yuan will have to

stay in the Supreme Court for a few days.

Mother, be careful.

Beiyan,

I have something to tell you.

What’s it?

Take your time.

I have something

to tell Duke Duan.

Sir,

Lord Junior and Madam Yuan are here.

Hurry,

take them into prison.

Someone is doing everything he can

to keep me in the Supreme Court.

Of course I don’t want to be taken away.

Qiao Li,

why do you

want to take Yuan into prison in such a hurry?

What are you up to?

Princess, you are wrong.

Why will I be afraid?

Even if Mrs. Yuan and Lord Junior are here,

I’ll still tell the truth

and review the case.

I just don’t want

the two of them

intervene the case review.

You...

Princess,

be patient.

Miss Yuan,

please.

These people

tried every means to achieve their evil ends.

Even if my mother is here,

I can hardly escape from it.

Back then,

I thought I would marry Lord Yong,

but

he sent me

to Yuan Hao.

I tried to kill myself a couple of times.

That kind of stone,

I hit on it twice.

Madam,

you took me here

just to tell me you story

with the emperor before?

You must think

this is not a big deal.

Actually, when I think about before,

I feel it’s worthless.

He soon married my friend Zhang Hui,

and soon fell in love with the second lady of Jing’s family.

So he implied

and induced Zhang Hui

to give up her title as his legal wife.

So your mother

became Lord Yong’s wife.

I heard

you didn’t get along

with my mother.

Zhang Hui gave her title,

she’s virtuous

and modest.

She never strove for his favour.

Your mother and she became like sisters.

So,

Lord Yong was not constant in love anymore.

Your mother couldn’t hate Zhang Hui,

so she turned to me.

At that time,

I wanted to piss her off,

so I always went to Lord Yong’s house

when she was pregnant

and couldn’t sleep with him.

Finally she

had a huge fight with Lord Yong.

She insisted on going back to Zhaozhou

when she’s already pregnant for nine months.

Are you telling me it’s my mother’s fault?

I didn’t want to tell you,

but your Aunt Zhixia

made a complaint to the emperor early in the morning.

She not only complained about me,

saying I killed your mother,

she also said

Yuan murdered Princess Zesheng.

When I was there,

the emperor has given the order to take Yuan

and told the guards

if she resists,

kill her.

Fortunately she didn’t,

otherwise

she’ll die in front of her bridal sedan

on her wedding day,

tint her wedding gown with her blood.

Yuan can’t be the murderer,

as for Mrs. Yuan…

I didn’t kill Consort Jing.

The stupid Zhixia

must’ve told you a thousand times

that I am the one who killed your mother.

And her only evidence

is a badge

from the gangster.

Everyone says you are discreet,

then tell me,

who would let the killer

bring a badge that shows the identity

if they sent him to murder someone?

So that everyone would know who’s behind it?

She reads too much drama scripts

and takes everybody as idiot

or she herself is an idiot?

You mean

someone else

killed my mother.

There are many concubines in royal families.

It’s not rare for them to

kill each other just for the title.

At that time,

I was Yuan Hao’s wife,

and Lord Yong’s secret lover.

What can I get

from your mother’s death?

Why should I believe you?

No one had malice towards

my mother

except you.

After you came back to the capital,

I sent someone to look into this case.

I thought

it would be difficult.

But

the old maid called Qin

from the drowning case

happened to know something.

Her brother was with Zhang Hui.

When your mother was killed,

he took some martial masters to leave the capital.

When he’s back,

he’s severely injured.

You mean

Zhang Hui’s people killed her?

When your mother died,

Zhang Hui was more devastated than anyone.

Lord Yong

didn’t promote her as the legal wife,

but he never had a legal wife anymore.

He handled everything in the harem

to her to manage.

Later she had Lord Qing,

and became emperor’s beloved Consort Zhang.

You didn’t do anything.

You were framed too.

Fortunately, I found the truth in advance.

When the emperor was filled with fury today,

I had something to say.

Someone in that case

survived till today.

If you don’t believe in me,

you can wait a few more days,

and see what the witness the emperor found says.

Since I was a child,

my foster father and Aunt kept telling me

you killed my mother.

Your father

always wanted to sacrifice my daughter,

but never

thought of me.

What about you?

You pushed Yuan to death again and again.

If anything happened to her,

I ‘ll let you die with her.

Nianqi.

Ma’am.

Let’s go and save Yuan.

Yes, ma’am.

Am I wrong?

I am wrong

at the very beginning.

How dare you are!

Mu Beiyan,

you are in the Supreme Court.

Are you going to rebel?

How would I dare.

My wife

was taken to the Supreme Court by Mr. Qiao.

I thought

you were avenging her wrong with your rights

because we accidentally broke into

the Cloth Dyeing Workshop.

Speaking of which,

I had a deep wound on the shoulder,

and it still hurts.

How can it be such a coincidence

that this time,

you are handling this case?

If you think I am unfair in this case,

you can tell the emperor

and transfer the case to someone else.

Where’s my bride?

At least I can see her

and ask her

if I, the bridegroom who has been left in the middle,

should still marry her?

The case isn’t finished yet,

so Lord Junior’s wedding

might need to be delayed.

Ad for Miss Yuan,

she’s a suspect of an important crime.

Without the truth being found,

it would be inappropriate for Lord Junior to visit her.

Please think about the overall situation

and restrain yourself.

Mr. Qiao, are you criticizing me

for failing to see the larger issues

Lord Junior is the son of a great general,

how would I dare to criticize you?

But with Princess Zesheng being murdered,

Lord Zhao

and his army

must be angry.

If we don’t treat this case discreetly,

the whole kingdom

might be under threat.

Lord Junior, wise as you,

you should be able to understand.

Mr. Qiao.

Madam.

Mr. Qiao is closely reasoned and well argued.

You even included the kingdom.

No matter what I will say

today,

I won’t be allowed to see Yuan.

It’s not that.

I can’t go against the emperor’s order.

If Yuan insists to intervene,

it will only make Miss Yuan more guilty.

Then she can’t be forgiven.

Well then,

I won’t cause you trouble.

Beiyan,

our guests

must’ve arrived.

With such a thing happening,

we should tell them something.

Go back with me.

Let’s handle things in the house.

Pardon me,

Mr. Qiao.

We have to find the bottle as soon as possible

to prove

Yuan wasn’t lying.

Sir,

the bottle

Yuan threw in the river

was found.

Open it.

Look.

Yuan didn’t lie,

she didn’t take the medicine.

and didn’t get her memory back.

Great,

she didn’t take the medicine.

Why?

If she can remember the past,

and remember what you’ve done for her,

isn’t that good?

Actually, I knew

Yanxi was making the medicine.

I did hope she remembers the past,

remembers how I treated her.

But today I realized,

losing memory

might be a better choice for her.

She was a lady in the Palace of Yuan.

She has nothing to do with me.

I am not in the position of

manipulating her life.

I thought what I did was good for her,

but actually I was humiliating her.

She should’ve grown up

with her parents,

instead of

living an inferior life

in the Palace of Zhao.

Don’t think too much.

The most important thing now

is to dispel her suspicion.

We still have time.

Then what should we do next?

My lady,

how...

how can we stay in such a place?

There’s spiders and cockroachs,

maybe even rats.

Lu,

didn’t you say

you will protect me?

Look at my shackles,

it’s twice heavier than yours.

I do need your attendance now.

Are you even afraid of spiders and rats?

No way.

Lu,

stop it.

It’s cold and humid here.

Let’s have a rest

and reserve our energy.

Right.

My lady,

didn’t madam come?

Why she hasn’t taken us back?

Are we

going to stay here overnight?

That seems unavoidable now.

Besides,

it’s the Supreme Court.

Qiao Li

had hostility against me.

Something happens to the Palace of He and Yuan is exactly what he wants.

Just like if Mu Beiyan has a chance,

he’ll never let those

who killed her father get away.

Can’t madam ask the emperor for mercy?

If they dare to set me up,

they must’ve been prepared.

Even if the emperor will investigate the case,

Qiao Li and the others won’t be willing to lose the chance.

They’ll

definitely do something in secret

while I am grounded here.

Then what should we do, my lady?

Don’t worry.

Even if the sky falls down,

I am taller than you

to shoulder it.

If they ask you anything,

just tell them the truth.

If you don’t know how to answer it,

just blame it on me.

No matter what they ask me,

I know how to answer it.

You are taller than me,

and you use the sword better than me,

but I am stronger than you.

Trust me, my lady,

I’ll do everything I can

to protect you.

Good for you,

good for you, Lu.

Mr. Qiao

wants to take the criminal Yuan Qingli

for some questions.

My lady,

I’ll go with you.

Don’t.

Just stay here and wait for me.

Hurry up.
