18

Anyone! I'm hurt!

19

Your Highness!

20

Hurry and call the doctor!

21

Oh, right, take the tray away.

22

I got hurt because of them.

23

- Hurry up!

- Yes.

24

Doctor! Doctor!

25

Doctor, how is Princess' wound.

26

The wound on Her Highness' arm is quite deep.

27

You must take care of it for the next few days. You must not exert too much effort,

28

to prevent the wound on your hand from splitting open.

29

It's better if you don't edit official documents too.

30

Most of all, you must not tire yourself.

31

For measly matters like that,

32

I can just find someone to write for me. Leave now.

33

Yes.

34

Youlan, near noontime tomorrow, ask all the menke in the manor to come here.

35

Yes.

36

Brother Rong, why did the Princess call for us?

37

I also don't know.

38

Brother Liu, do you know?

39

When even Menke Rong doesn't know,

40

how could little fellows like us know about it?

41

Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?

42

What else?

43

He still hasn't recovered from getting kissed by a bull.

44

He won't just behave, and lie on his bed and recuperate.

45

He immediately rushed here, when he heard that that Princess is calling for us.

46

He really is looking for his death. (T/N tormenting himself)

47

You asshole! The Princess is calling for me. You think I'll dare to not come?

48

The Princess is here.

49

Greetings to Your Highness..

50

Jiang Yan, come here.

51

Jiang Yan, you've been here in my manor for quite some time already, right?

52

But I've decided to let you go out.

53

This is an urgent letter.

54

Take it, and go see Prince Jianping, Liu Jingsu.

55

I know that your tainted name hasn't been cleared.

56

With me as your guarantor, he surely will believe you.

57

Are you taking it or not?

58

You're famous for being talented.

59

I also delivered to him your latest poem.

60

Prince of Jianping really admires you.

61

As long as you're willing, Prince Jianping will surely give you an important position.

62

I heard that your father died early.

63

Your mother washed clothes to earn a living.

64

With such a poor environment, she was still able to nurture you to become a talented individual.

65

She's really an outstanding woman.

66

Take it.

67

Wang Lin!

68

- Here.

- I've recommended you to become the county magistrate of Guangling.

69

Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace.

70

You Lang!

71

Here!

72

Princess' Manor

73

I thought that the rebel alliance had been discovered, and that I would never be walking out this manor alive.

74

Aren't you out already?

75

This is totally like dreaming.

76

While you're still dreaming, quickly leave.

77

Why are you not bidding me farewell and just leaving?

78

Your Highness.

79

Prince Jianping has always loved literary works, he is also young.

80

That's why I believe there you can be like a fish back in the water. (T/N back in his proper surroundings)

81

I'm here to wish you to have a pleasant journey.

82

Your Highness, please don't punish Huan Yuan once I'm gone.

83

He has shockingly good talent.

84

Even I am way inferior to him. If--

85

If I really wanted to punish you two,

86

I wouldn't be doing these elaborate things.

87

You also saw it. I had you choose while in front of everyone.

88

I forced you to abandon Huan Yuan.

89

Are you bearing a grudge against me because of that?

90

I don't know.

91

You are quite honest.

92

If you immediately say that you don't hate me, that's making up things.

93

I did that, so that everyone can clearly see the situation.

94

The young lads are always elegant and unrestrained, or are usually envied by people.

95

This is your self-description. Am I right?

96

There are so many talented people in this world.

97

Why did they not plant false evidence against others, but against all reason frame you?

98

Also, none of your past colleagues were willing to defend you.

99

Could it be that you were such a failure as a person?

100

What the Princess means is a tree that grows taller than the whole forest will surely be blown down by the wind.

101

If the sand gets pushed beyond the shoreline, it surely will get washed off by the water.

102

If you're too outstanding, you surely will get criticized and framed.

103

Her Highness is not letting you associate with the corrupt officials,

104

but to learn to be flexible, while maintaining your lofty ideals.

105

Being flexible is not being proud and aloof.

106

If you are unable to make friends with government officials, how can you discuss official matters with them?

107

Don't even talk about serving the people.

108

Thank you for Your Highness' teachings. I will take my leave.

109

Congratulations, Your Highness.

110

Congratulations, Your Highness, for hitting three birds with one stone.

111

What do you mean?

112

Jiang Yan and Huan Yuan have been plotting this rebellion for a long time. It surely has become a priority matter.

113

Your Highness recommended Jiang Yan to be a government official,

114

and was able to send out the person that might be involved in this matter.

115

In the first place, you were able to reduce Jiang Yan's discontent.

116

Second, sever his communication with Huan Yuan.

117

Third, with a successful example like Jiang Yan,

118

you're obviously giving everyone a hint.

119

If they want to see a similar good future,

120

they will just try their best to get on your good side.

121

Who else would join Huan Yuan and take a risk?

122

Wrong. It is four birds with one stone.

123

With your words earlier,

124

without exerting much effort,

125

you were able to reduce the enmity in Jiang Yan's heart.

126

With his personality, no matter where he goes,

127

he would never forget your grace.

128

I take one step,

129

and you're able to see four steps.

130

With the extent of your foresight, it can't be simply described as being smart and being well-versed about the human heart.

131

I'm really curious why you're very sure

132

that Jiang Yan will do what you want.

133

On one side is a comfortable government post with an obvious future;

134

on the other side, a rebel alliance that can be considered to have already failed.

135

One side has limitless splendor, the other is a bumpy ride.

136

One side is putting on a silk robe,

137

the other side is bleeding to your death.

138

A person who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, is full of ambitions,

139

and has an old mother to provide for, how could he refuse it?

140

It's just that this action is so unlike you.

141

What do you mean?

142

If it was the past Princess, (T/N her own behavior previously)

143

even if she used the same method to drive a wedge between them,

144

she would still have Jiang Yan secretly killed to vent her anger.

145

Don't even mention recommending him to be an official.

146

So, if I become like this, is it good or bad?

147

I can't say if it's good or bad.

148

The past Princess was very meticulous, not showing any weakness at all.

149

She killed resolutely, and didn't get soft. But she lacked compassion.

150

The present Princess seems to have grown too soft,

151

but her bearing has changed a lot.

152

Jiang Yan attempted to revolt. Your Highness not only didn't get angry,

153

you even gave him a good future.

154

Although there is some suspicion of indulgence, I can't help but say

155

that this bearing is admirable.

156

He has such a rare talent. I just don't want to see a good pearl being covered by dust.

157

Do you have any more questions?

158

Rong Zhi!

159

Stop right there!

160

Were you the one who suggested those ideas to the Princess last night?

161

- Me?

- Of course!

162

Other than you, who would make such a kind of scheme?

163

Out of nowhere, why must Jiang Yan be allowed to leave the manor?

164

This is totally not the style of the Princess.

165

I don't know.

166

You must have some ulterior motive for driving Jiang Yan and the others out of the manor.

167

Let me tell you, others might fear you, but not I.

168

One day, I will expose your true colors in front of the Princess!

169

Liu Se.

170

What?

171

Be careful of your back.

172

You tricked me?

173

Menke Rong, the Princess is asking for you.

174

Stop right there! I haven't finished talking with you!

175

Menke Rong!

176

Menke Rong, the Princess used to like you a lot.

177

But after losing her memory, it's as if she changed into another person.

178

She tends to nitpick more.

179

Menke Rong, be more careful.

180

Thanks.

181

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

182

You're not asking why I called you here?

183

I'll know if I just wait.

184

Wait for what?

185

Either I wait for Your Highness to tell it to me,

186

or wait for the person we're waiting on to come.

187

Your Highness, I've brought the person.

188

- Let him in.

- Yes.

189

Since you're here, why are you not coming in to talk?

190

Your Highness, I, Shen Guangzuo, have a very important thing to report to you.

191

Your Highness, I came to report on the evil plot of Huan Yuan.

192

Although he resides in your manor, he's been thinking of means to communicate with other government officials.

193

It includes important officials with great power.

194

Through these people, he wanted to accuse you of committing misconducts.

195

And with the help of those against you within the manor, he plans to slander you both inside and outside of the manor.

196

If Your Highness wants to know, I have a detailed name list here.

197

You are really quick in using this opportunity.

198

Get up.

199

I will heavily reward you, once I've confirmed this list.

200

You've been in my manor for quite some time.

201

Do you want to go out and make a name for yourself?

202

What are you good at, literature or martial arts?

203

- I've trained in martial arts since I was little.

- That's very good.

204

Who do you think I should recommend him to?

205

I suggest recommending him to the Longxiang General, Shen Youzhi.

206

Thank you, Your Highness!

207

If I'm able to receive your permission, I surely will never forget your grace!

208

Then let's do it as such.

209

I'll write you a recommendation letter. Leave.

210

Okay.

211

With a person who fawns like that, why did you give him such gracious treatment?

212

Your Highness was clearly waiting for traitors against Huan Yuan to shift their loyalties.

213

Why then are you looking down at him now?

214

A person without moral integrity is not welcomed anywhere.

215

I was expecting that he would show up; however, I don't want my manor

216

to have a fawning, despicable, and shameless person like that.

217

It's exactly because he is a vile person, hence, it's easy to manipulate him.

218

If he were like Jiang Yan, I'd rather not casually use him.

219

- Rong Zhi!

- Present.

220

I noticed that you're getting smarter.

221

Thank you, Your Highness, for praising me.

222

But there are so many smart people in this world. I'm not the smartest.

223

For example, in the Princess' Manor, Your Highness is the smartest.

224

Why?

225

Because Your Highness knows how to use me.

226

But you didn't need to especially ask me to come here today.

227

Regarding Huan Yuan's rebellion, it's impossible for it to succeed.

228

Why then would I join them?

229

Then...you write this recommendation letter.

230

I'm hurt.

231

That's why I will need you to manage official matters on my behalf.

232

Does Your Highness have any other instructions?

233

With Huan Yuan's matter, it can be seen that within my manor, there are fish and dragons mixed in together, (T/N Chinese idiom: crooks and honest folk mixed together)

234

layer upon layer of crisis.

235

Best to take a quick sword to cut through the tangled hemp, (T/N Chinese idiom: take decisive action, like cutting a Gordian knot)

236

to completely eliminate these hidden troubles.

237

What does Your Highness plan to do?

238

In the first place, handle the problems that arose from Huan Yuan's matter.

239

Second, I'm going to examine all the menke in the manor.

240

Those with talents will be sent out to become officials.

241

Those who are good-for-nothings will be given money and asked to return to their homes.

242

Okay.

243

Long Path Residence

244

The Princess asked me to deliver this.

245

Rather than living in humiliation,

246

it's better to just die like this.

247

You were not thinking that the wine is poisonous, right?

248

Based on her vicious personality,

249

she surely will kill me.

250

The wine is not poisoned.

251

Do you want to die that much?

252

Look!

253

Look at these guards and their weapons!

254

I am currently like a prisoner.

255

No.

256

I am even inferior to a prisoner.

257

A prisoner is allowed to have fresh air,

258

but she even took away this right from me.

259

There is one thing that you have misunderstood.

260

These guards were sent by me.

261

What did you say?

262

Although you have failed, you're not giving up.

263

You wanted to use sending off Jiang Yan to make her feel guilty,

264

so as to benefit your future plans.

265

I will not let you have this chance.

266

Hence,

267

I didn't let you see him one last time.

268

It's not your character to be crude.

269

Huan Yuan, you must maintain your bearing.

270

The Princess knew about what Jiang Yan and I were plotting.

271

Was it you who reported us?

272

You're belittling the Princess.

273

Everything that happened in that gathering was her idea.

274

When you and Jiang Yan were secretly talking, the Princess returned.

275

Even I didn't sense it.

276

Afterwards, she decided to send Jiang Yan out of the manor.

277

Rong Zhi.

278

Are you content...

279

to just stay by the Princess' side?

280

You manage household matters every day.

281

You have never complained.

282

But I instead feel...

283

that the skills you're showing are not even ten percent of what you really have.

284

You are a rare, talented strategist.

285

When you go outside, you totally raise a storm and affect the world.

286

Anything but a damned menke!

287

Are you contented to stay here, and be a toy of a proud and wasteful woman?

288

You are not.

289

Or else, why won't you dare to answer my question?

290

You wholly can't truthfully answer me that you're very willing.

291

Huan Yuan, don't forget.

292

The reason why you're still alive now is thanks to whom?

293

If the Princess didn't save you before this, you would already have died.

294

Yet you kept thinking of betraying her.

295

Is this how your ancestors taught you?

296

I won't deny that she saved me, protected me.

297

But she saved me because of selfish reasons.

298

She treated me as her exclusive property, and kept me

299

like some hunting eagle, or as singing Chinese hwamei (a bird).

300

She didn't treat me as a human at all.

301

If you're telling me to grow old and die here,

302

Rong Zhi, I am not willing.

303

The Huan clan experienced splendor for a period of time.

304

They were able to replace the dynasty of the Sima clan.

305

However, no matter how glorious that period was,

306

it disappeared with the fall of the Huanchu dynasty. (T/N Only one Emperor, 403-404 CE)

307

Huan (Xuan) replaced Sima (Dezong), Liu (Yu) then eliminated Huan (dynasty). (T/N Personal names of rulers)

308

Whose dynasty was't bloodily taken from another person?

309

Huan Yuan, starting when your ancestor forced Emperor Jin'an to abdicate his throne, (aka "Emperor An of Jin")

310

you lost the right to criticize the Liu family.

311

In chaotic times, the victor is the king, the loser is the bandit. (T/N winner takes all)

312

I have nothing more to say.

313

But even if it's like this, to let me willingly be some proud and extravagant woman's toy,

314

impossible.

315

You have no choice.

316

You hate the Princess for locking you inside her manor, but you must be grateful to her.

317

As the son of a rebel,

318

you must obtain her protection.

319

You said earlier that I'm not content. You're not me.

320

How would you know what I'm thinking?

321

Even if I failed this time...

322

as long as I'm alive,

323

I will never give up.

324

Even if one day I do die,

325

that's still better than enduring the torment in here.

326

The heaven and earth are the furnace of all living things in this world.

327

Among all living people in this world, who is not suffering?

328

Your Highness, Liu Sang's parents have been killed by bandits.

329

Even if we allow him to leave the manor now, I fear that he won't have anywhere to go.

330

Let him stay then.

331

Yes. Menke Hua has been sick up to now and bed-ridden.

332

His life is just being supported by the medicines and doctors in this manor.

333

That's why he won't be able to leave either.

334

As for the situation of Menke Huan--

335

Huan Yuan's identity is unique. Even if he leaves, he won't be able to preserve his life. Just let him stay.

336

Your Highness is magnanimous. All the other people has been sent away as you ordered. It's just that some--

337

Your Highness! Your Highness!

338

Your Highness! I'm not leaving!

339

I'm definitely not leaving, Your Highness!

340

My loyalty is definitely different from Jiang Yan and those rebels!

341

Your Highness, I don't want to leave. Why are you kicking me out?

342

- I am loyal to you. Your Highness..!

- Yue Jiefei!

343

- Yes.

- Don't kick me out.

344

Your Highness!

345

Your Highness, if you drive me away,

346

I'll die in front of you!

347

I'll just hit my head!

348

Oh, my...my butt...

349

Your Highness, Menke Mo insisted on not leaving.

350

He...he jumped into the river.

351

I can't live anymore! Let me die!

352

Your Highness...I'm going to hit my head so I'll just die!

353

So noisy! All can stay.

354

Yes.

355

Thank you, Your Highness.

356

Where is Rong Zhi?

357

Your Highness wants to drive Menke Rong out too?

358

All menke should leave. Why must he be an exception?

359

But he is the person that you like and trust the most.

360

It's exactly because of that, he can't continue staying here.

361

A person's interest changes.

362

I used to like him a lot before,

363

but now, I hate him a lot.

364

That's why he must leave.

365

There is a beautiful woman, that I can't forget after seeing her.

366

If I don't see her for a day, I will miss her like crazy.

367

I'm like the male phoenix soaring high in the sky, searching all over to find my mate.

368

Too bad that beautiful woman is not near the eastern wall.

369

I'm using the zither's tune, in place of my heart's words, to describe my feelings.

370

When can our wedding be approved, to comfort my pacing back and forth.

371

Hope that my character will be compatible with yours, holding hands and being together.

372

If I'm unable to be with you forever, it will break my heart and make me desire for death.

373

Rong Zhi, you can leave the Princess' Manor too.

374

What is Your Highness hiding, that you're rushing to drive people away?

375

I am straightforward and upright.

376

Do I need to explain myself to a menke?

377

Of course Your Highness doesn't need to explain to me.

378

I just fear that if others learn about this, they'll make a big issue out of it.

379

What issue is there to make about me?

380

For example,

381

they will suspect that Your Highness...

382

is not the real Princess.

383

How presumptuous!

384

Your Highness, why are you getting nervous? I'm just joking.

385

If you're not Princess Shanyin, who could you be?

386

But everyone can leave except me.

387

Why?

388

Because I'm Your Highness' most trusted and closest aide.

389

Can you bear to let me leave?

390

Of course I can't bear it..

391

Since that's the case, then just stay.

392

Youlan, this is honey cake that I personally made. Have a taste.

393

Fendai, stop daydreaming. I won't help you enter Mingyu Pavilion.

394

We entered the manor together. We're usually the closest. I just want you to have a taste.

395

Stop pretending. Since I became the personal maidservant of the Princess,

396

I've seen a lot of people like you.

397

Youlan!

398

Enough, Fendai.

399

You think the Princess is just an ordinary woman?

400

She's very moody, and very hard to serve.

401

Unless you are very quick-witted, you can't serve her.

402

Fendai, I am also thinking for your sake.

403

With your weak personality,

404

it's better to preserve your life.

405

Menke Rong.

406

Menke Rong.

407

Youlan, what's wrong with you?

408

I-I should go back now.

409

Take these with you.

410

No need!

411

M-Menke Mo.

412

It's dirty.

413

Menke Mo, it fell to the ground. It can't be eaten anymore.

414

Very delicious.

415

Don't cry for people who don't care about you.

416

You got it?

417

418

Why are you here!

419

Your Highness, I've been waiting for you.

420

I'm tired from waiting, so I've rested here for a while.

421

That is my bed. Who told you to sleep in it!

422

Your Highness, I'm very afraid.

423

I am already a member of your manor.

424

If Your Highness doesn't want me anymore,

425

I don't know where to go.

426

Could it be Your Highness is fed up with me already?

427

You don't want me anymore just like everybody else?

428

Haven't I said before...

429

that while I am around, while the Princess' Manor is around,

430

you won't lack food or clothing.

431

If you want to live here forever, you can.

432

But Your Highness isn't calling for me anymore.

433

Did I do anything wrong?

434

You didn't do anything wrong.

435

It's just...that I might be too busy.

436

Once I have the time, I'll just call you over, okay?

437

Really?

438

Hurry and leave. Next time, don't come over, if I don't call for you.

439

Thank you for your great grace, Your Highness!

440

Men!

441

Greetings to Your Highness.

442

Who told you to let him in?

443

What if it was an assassin? You're just going to casually let him in?

444

Do you two want to see my head hanging there by tomorrow morning!

445

It was Menke Rong who let him in.

446

All of you only follow Menke Rong.

447

You don't give any importance to me at all!

448

Didn't I already say that

449

all special power of Rong Zhi is abolished?

450

Who told you two to decide on your own!

451

Your Highness, please forgive us. We--

452

Looks like Rong Zhi's position in your hearts is very important.

453

Spread my order. Starting today,

454

whoever disobeys my order,

455

I will have him beheaded!

456

Tell Youlan to come here! Change the bedding and blanket!

457

Yes.

458

Greetings, Master.

459

I've said it so many times.

460

Either privately or outside the manor, you must not make such formal bows.

461

- Yes.

- Come over and sit beside me.

462

Master, I tested the Princess earlier.

463

What's the result?

464

She clearly was angry, but I didn't sense any vicious current.

465

And she doesn't easily have people killed anymore.

466

- She is like a completely different person.

- Even you noticed that.

467

Looks like she indeed had a complete transformation.

468

Any matter that even I noticed, Master surely has clearly noticed it too.

469

Even if it's amnesia, a person's interests and character couldn't have changed that much.

470

I suspect--

471

Without any hard evidence, don't alarm her.

472

Yes.

473

If she's an impostor...I will have a way to expose her.

474

Earlier, I saw a weird shadow going in an easterly direction.

475

Hurry and go look. Don't let anyone trespass.

476

Yes!

477

The Princess clearly wasn't inside.

478

Why did Menke Rong go inside?

479

Your Highness.

480

Why are you here?

481

Can the bodyguard retreat out of the garden?

482

I have an important matter to discuss with Your Highness.

483

Don't go too far.

484

Yes.

485

Please.

486

What is your name?

487

Chuyu.

488

Since Your Highness was rescued, you've started to become strange in a lot of aspects.

489

What aspects?

490

First of all, Your Highness didn't like books before,

491

but now you've browsed through the files of the different menke.

492

Second, Your Highness used to trust me a lot.

493

Yet now you distance yourself from me, doubt and guard against me.

494

Third, which is also most important,

495

the Princess is a very violent person, and she's very clear with what she loves and what she hates.

496

Even if you don't remember the past, a dynasty is easy to change, but one's character isn't.

497

Upon waking up, whether it's right or wrong, she'll kill that child and his whole family.

498

Don't even talk about the rebel alliance of Huan Yuan.

499

But all of them get to live.

500

Their staying alive is the critical point of the problem.

501

You are just making random inferences. I just don't remember things.

502

No.

503

You browsed through the files, because you were trying to get to know the people here.

504

Distancing yourself from a person that the Princess used to trust...

505

is because you're afraid that I'll see through your pretenses.

506

Using the rebel alliance of Huan Yuan as an excuse to make all the menke leave

507

is to stop all possible sources of future trouble.

508

If not because the Prince Consort can't be changed,

509

I'd fear that you would be going to change him too.

510

Nonsense.

511

Rong Zhi!

512

Your Highness, don't be so eager.

513

Your Highness, please take off your clothes.

514

- Insolent! I, the princess, today–

- Since you aren't the Princess,

515

then tell me where is the real Princess.

516

Don't try to argue. I found the word "Xi" engraved on your bed frame.

517

With all the strokes added,

518

it coincides with the number of days since you kicked me out of your room.

519

Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you.

520

So long as you tell me who you are,

521

and where the Princess is right now, I will guarantee your freedom.

522

You must know, I had no choice but to end up in this place.

523

Believe me.

524

You are not going to tell me? I have evidence too.

525

Who sent you here?

526

Before you come here,

527

didn't you know how uninhibited and flirtatious the Princess was?

528

You are so demure. It's alright.

529

I will prove to you right now...that you are not Liu Chuyu.

530

Yue Jiefei, come and protect me now!

531

Enough!

532

Do you still doubt me now?

533

I, Rong Zhi, was insolent. May Your Highness please do as you deem fit, I will not have any complaints.

534

You are so audacious.

535

You knew full well what will happen if that failed, yet you went ahead?

536

Your Highness are of the royal family. If anyone impersonates you,

537

it is a grave and serious matter, I have to be on my guard.

538

Right now, is Your Highness still going to punish me?

539

Since Your Highness is not going to pursue this matter, then I will take my leave.

540

What are you doing?

541

Your Highness has instructed not to use any fragrance. There isn't any aroma in the room.

542

I put some flower petals in the room.

543

They are fresh and fragrant. I believe Your Highness will like it.

544

You are quite observant.

545

When I wasn't around, when did Rong Zhi come here?

546

During sishi hour. (T/N 9-11 am, twelve "hours", two hours each)

547

Didn't I repeatedly say this?

548

The times when I'm not around, no one is allowed to enter my room.

549

But what about you? You dare to risk riling my anger,

550

and let others examine my room.

551

It looks like Rong Zhi has extraordinary influence here.

552

Youlan, you are so bold!

553

Your Highness, have mercy on me! Your Highness, have mercy on me!

554

- Men!

- Present!

555

Lock her up. Don't give her any food for three days.

556

- Your Highness, have mercy on me!

- Let's go.

557

Youlan.

558

Fendai?

559

Fendai.

560

Youlan, how are you doing?

561

What are you doing here?

562

You must be hungry. I'm here to bring you food.

563

Eat slowly.

564

- Fendai, where did you get this food from?

- Shh!

565

Don't let anyone hear you. I stole the food.

566

If someone knows, I can't defend myself.

567

Fendai, you are so good to me, but you'd better leave quickly.

568

It's too dangerous to do this.

569

If you are discovered–

570

Don't say so. We are sisters.

571

Eat quickly. After you are done, remember to keep some in hiding.

572

I will come again this time tomorrow.

573

On behalf of Youlan, I thank Your Highness, for your mercy.

574

You can steal dry bread for her. It goes to show that you are someone who places importance on friendships.

575

I admire you for that.

576

From today on, come serve in Mingyu Pavilion.

577

Yes.

578

- Zhu--

- Shh!

579

Zhu Que.

580

I missed you very much.

581

Me too.

582

- Zhu Que, you shouldn't have left so many loopholes. It's too dangerous.

- I..

583

Didn't you know?

584

Look at me. Apart from my resembling Liu Chuyu,

585

we are totally two different persons.

586

No matter how much I pretend to be her, someone will see through me sooner or later.

587

Of course, I'm Princess Shanyin. I can do anything.

588

No one would dare to question me, but there are people pestering me.

589

For example, Rong Zhi. To remove his doubts,

590

the best way is to show one's flaws.

591

Once he thought that he had obtained a lot of evidence

592

and couldn't help but make his move,

593

I then shattered all of his doubts.

594

This way, I can become myself,

595

and not be afraid of being exposed.

596

But...if not because you've been hiding here in the Princess' Manor for a long time,

597

how could I have known that the Princess had a scar.

598

The Princess has a lot of enemies. In one assassination attempt, she got injured and almost died.

599

Afterwards, only people close to her knew that she had a scar.

600

If not because I deliberately approached Youlan, I wouldn't know it either.

601

But it's good this way. Rong Zhi will stop doubting you.

602

It might not be so.

603

My actions today can only temporarily remove his doubts.

604

Rong Zhi is too smart and suspicious.

605

Maybe he'll notice my being different very soon.

606

The Pavilion Master believes that delaying this might bring us trouble.

607

He wants you to get near His Majesty soon and find a chance to kill him.

608

We can't!

609

Tell Pavilion Master that rushing things will just cause us to fail.

610

His Majesty loves Shanyin a lot. Since Rong Zhi was able to see through my disguise,

611

the more likely will her real younger brother.

612

If we're not careful, everything we have done will be for nothing.

613

I initially planned to use the matter of Huan Yuan

614

to drive all people who are familiar with Princess Shanyin out of here.

615

This way, I can completely remove all possible sources of trouble.

616

But Rong Zhi is too smart. We must guard against him.

617

We can kill him.

618

In this huge Princess' Manor, there is actually no one who really listens to my orders.

619

All consider him the master.

620

That's why rather than saying that Shanyin locked Rong Zhi in here,

621

it's better to say that Rong Zhi was able to tightly control Princess Shanyin,

622

making her follow his every word.

623

This beautiful and luxurious manor has long ago changed its master.

624

I really am worried that we might fail in our attack, and also get bitten from the back.

625

After all, this person knows Princess Shanyin the best.

626

What should we do then?

627

Find a person that can balance his power.

628

- Who?

- Huan Yuan.
