Episode 45

16

A buttterfly liking a flower is just normal. Even if a normal person will notice it,

17

he will never think that it's a living thing.

18

That's right. This butterfly's body form is smaller than a normal butterfly.

19

After sucking an digesting the blood, they return to being as small as a moth,

20

then return to the wall again.

21

Your Highness...what's wrong?

22

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, are you alright?

23

Your Highness, where do you feel unwell?

24

Hurry and call for an imperial physician!

25

Damn you!

26

I don't know! I didn't do anything, Your Highness the Empress Dowager!

27

Other than you, who else?!

28

How can I dare touch a blood sucking thing like that, Your Highness the Empress Dowager?!

29

Men! Drag him out!

30

I am innocent!

31

Your Highness the Empress Dowager!

32

It's you. All these is your evil scheme!

33

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, what are you saying?

34

Feifeng General, it was you who suggest to make an offering.

35

It was also you who broke the puzzle about the butterflies.

36

And now, a dead butterfly appeared in Her Highness the Empress Dowager's tea cup.

37

Other than you, who else had the chance to play such a trick?

38

Blood sucking butterflies will not appear in the palace for no reason at all.

39

There must be someone who breeding them. A person like that

40

must stay inside Liubei Palace for a long time to conceal this secret.

41

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, don't forget.

42

I have always been outside mobilizing the army. I don't have the time or chance to do that.

43

That's why, there is only one person who had the chance to breed these

44

blood sucking butterflies.

45

Mute servant, why did you breed these butterflies?

46

General Huo, she can't speak nor write.

47

How will she answer you then?

48

She's crazy like those butterflies!

49

Kill her! Hurry and kill her!

50

Give her a brush!

51

But she doesn't have any fingers.

52

Give it to her!

53

What are each of you doing? She's a crazy killer.

54

She should be executed immediately! You also instead want her to talk?!

55

I also want to know what she would say.

56

Your Majesty, this crazy woman killed 22 people.

57

If she dies, maybe these bizarre butterflies will disappear too.

58

There won't be another person dying in the palace.

59

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, even a prisoner sentenced to death is given a chance to defend himself.

60

Why are you being this agitated?

61

She's done writing.

62

Your Majesty.

63

Royal Mother...

64

Is this true?

65

Your Majesty, this is slander.

66

Furen Yue clearly died of sickness. What does that got to do with me?

67

Someone wants to slander me

68

and set up such a huge scam.

69

All these are just an evil scheme.

70

This mute servant used to be a palace maid of Furen Yue.

71

She previously committed a crime of stealing.

72

I also had no choice but to cut off her finger and tongue.

73

But that has nothing to do with Furen Yue's death.

74

Really?

75

Of course!

76

Why are you making false charges against me?

77

Who ordered you? Say it.

78

What are you all saying? What does this mean?

79

Prince Regent's Wife,

80

what the mute servant meant is it was Empress Dowager Feng who killed Furen Yue.

81

Just to conceal her deed, she made up excuses and killed all of Furen Yue's

82

trusted aides one by one.

83

Mute servant then bred blood sucking butterflies here

84

to take revenge for Furen Yue.

85

Even if she's unable to do so,

86

she could still create a fake image of Furen Yue dying in a wronged manner,

87

hence, her soul couldn't rest in peace to attract His Majesty's attention,

88

so that she can bring justice to Furen Yue's death.

89

Empress Dowager killed all her trusted aides?

90

But isn't she still alive?

91

The crime she committed then should have been punishable by death.

92

It is exactly because the former emperor pardoned her, that's why, she was allowed to live.

93

Royal Mother, this—

94

Your Majesty, how could you believe the words of a palace servant?

95

Let me ask you, you say that I'm a killer. Where's your evidence?

96

Everyone else have died. Mute servant is the only witness.

97

Empress Dowager cut off her tongue. How then will she able to defend herself?

98

I heard that when Her Highness the Empress Dowager learned that mute servant's

99

tongue was able to regrow by half,

100

she sent someone to cut it off again.

101

A cruel method like that will really make others feel despair.

102

But even if that's the case,

103

mute servant still didn't give up hope.

104

She'd rather associate with these monsters and look for a chance to seek revenge.

105

Such extraordinary painstaking effort, how could it be just slander?

106

Your Majesty, Her Highness the Empress Dowager was unable to seal off

107

everyone's tongue. There has always been rumors spreading about Liubei Palace.

108

It's as if the souls here are expressing their grievances. They want you to give them justice and seek vengeance for them, Your Majesty!

109

Hongxiu.

110

You and this mute servant has colluded from the start.

111

Setting up this trap to false accuse me?

112

It's not like that Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

113

If you're really not guilty, why then did you sent

114

20 people before to investigate this place?

115

Also, you clearly know that the Liubei Palace is Furen Yue's old dwelling,

116

why did you still insist to seal it off?

117

You had always shown grace in both appearances and actions.

118

Why then did you get frightened and lost your composure just for one cup of tea?

119

It was just a moment of neglect.

120

No. It was because you killed Furen Yue,

121

that's why, you felt guilty.

122

That's why, you are unable to face the Liubei Palace, isn't it?

123

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you have a beautiful face,

124

but you have such a frightening heart.

125

You are the scariest and most frightening woman I've seen in this world!

126

Unruly!

127

I'm unruly?

128

Do you know that since I entered the palace,

129

I've also heard of these rumors about Furen Yue?

130

For these past days, these rumors had frequently questioned my conscience.

131

Now...the crimes of Her Highness the Emrpess Dowager...

132

who in the palace doesn't know of it?

133

Your Majesty, do you still remember how the past emperor died?

134

Hongxiu, what does this got to do with the past emperor?

135

Did the past emperor guess the truth through the mute servant?

136

That's right. Everyone knew the truth,

137

but hid it from His Majesty. That time, Her Highness the Empress Dowager was already fully fledged (very powerful)

138

and untouchable.

139

It was because he got so mad that he got sick and bedridden.

140

He didn't die of any illness but was angered to death.

141

Your Majesty...

142

She was the mastermind behind all these tragedies!

143

Are you still going to tolerate her actions?!

144

Royal Mother, are all these true?

145

Why did you do it?

146

Your Majesty, just for you, I meticulously planned and racked my brain.

147

But today, you actually are questioning me just because of some palace rumors and these two laughable people?!

148

I am your royal mother. It was me who raised you.

149

Is this how you treat your royal mother?

150

Also, Rong Zhi. They are openly accusing your sister right now.

151

Are you just going to listen like that?!

152

Empress Dowager, just for power,

153

you didn't mind interfering with my marriage and messing up my life.

154

Now that things have come to this, you remembered that I'm your younger brother?

155

You hope that I'll charge through the enemy lines in your behalf. When you made that request,

156

didn't you even feel a bit guilty?

157

The day before Ma Xueyun died, did you see her?

158

Rong Zhi, what are you saying?

159

I also didn't want to believe it.

160

But afterwards, Ma Xueyun's death made me develop doubts.

161

After sending people to investigate it, I found out that Empress Dowager

162

had secretly sowed dissension in the relationship between Ma Xueyun and Chuyu.

163

You let their conflicts worsened

164

until the point that it couldn't be redeemed anymore.

165

My Mistress' body is inherently weak and delicate. Even if you're angry,

166

you shouldn't vent it on her.

167

With her body being this weak, how could she endure it?

168

Princess Consort, Concubine has always wanted to get along with you. She never had any intentions of competing for favors with you.

169

But you actually dared to use the lipstick to harm her?!

170

You keep saying that I harmed her.

171

What really is this about? I want to look at it.

172

Mistress has been harmed successively. May Princess Consort be benevolent

173

and stop causing trouble.

174

I won't hurt her. Can't I just ask a few words?

175

No. I will not let you hurt Mistress again.

176

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, are all these true?

177

- I didn't.

- If there's one, then there's two.

178

Presently, you're also using the same method on Huo Xuan and Chuyu.

179

You want me to serve you,

180

and you're doing your best to restrain my power.

181

You're afraid that I'll get the Huo Army and Liu Song to my side.

182

Just to guard against me, you have spent so much effort.

183

Royal Mother, you killed Furen Yue

184

and angered Royal Father to his death.

185

You couldn't even trust your own younger brother

186

and did all possible means to control him.

187

The warm and benevolent appearance that you've

188

always shown me...

189

are all those just a false front?

190

No. Your Majesty.

191

Hong'er, I didn't.

192

I'm being falsely accused.

193

Rong Zhi, even Rong Zhi has been deceived.

194

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I strain my heart and mind just for Wei,

195

yet you just played me in the palm of your hands.

196

Until now, you're still defending yourself.

197

You really are making me feel disappointed.

198

Your Majesty, please give justice to the

199

people who have died.

200

Now that there are both a witness and material evidence,

201

I also have no way to defend you.

202

Especially how Royal Father have showed you vast kindness as deep as the sea,

203

yet you just angered him to death like that.

204

I already am unable to understand your doings.

205

Unable to understand?

206

Hong'er, don't you always say that I'm heartless?

207

But everything that I've done were for you!

208

Furen Yue before have become arrogant for being highly favored and numerously tried to frame me.

209

If not because I thought of a way to eliminate her, will you be the emperor now?

210

As for others, the loser becomes the bandit,

211

the victor becomes the king. I don't need to repent on anything.

212

As for Rong Zhi, he and I are indeed siblings.

213

But once Prince Kang dies, the power of Prince Regent will inflate excessively.

214

It will threaten your imperial throne, Hong'er!

215

Everything that I've done is for you,

216

for our Wei!

217

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you kept pushing Rong Zhi farther from you.

218

Weren't you the one who drove a wedge between him and His Majesty?

219

You kept saying that you're doing this for Wei, for His Majesty.

220

You didn't even mind killing people. Aren't all these just for power?

221

- Men.

- Here.

222

Empress Dowager isn't feeling well.

223

Starting today, Empress Dowager will stay in Xuanguang Palace to recuperate in silence.

224

Without any imperial decree, she's forbidden to leave her palace.

225

Huo Xuan and Chuyu were both right.

226

I wronged Furen Yue.

227

I wronged the former emperor.

228

I wronged everyone.

229

But I never wronged you.

230

My Hong'er...

231

But how come it's you that is blaming me?

232

That is leaving me? That is abandoning me?

233

Why?

234

Please.

235

Your Majesty, your test has now ended.

236

In this round, I won.

237

Chuyu, do you have any objection?

238

None.

239

I am announcing that the last victor

240

is Feifeng General.

241

Okay already. You all leave first.

242

I still have some words to say to Prince Regent.

243

Feifeng General!

244

Do you have any objection with the decision?

245

I just want to ask you one thing.

246

Did you scheme all that happened today beforehand?

247

Scheme?

248

Using the bloodsucking butterflies to lead to a past crime, reveal the truth about Furen Yue's death,

249

and then completely defeat Empress Dowager Feng.

250

It's not me.

251

Not you?

252

I am the same as you.

253

I just wanted to solve the puzzle behind the deaths in Liubei Palace.

254

But I never thought that this will dig up past things.

255

Is it like that?

256

Princess Consort, regarding this competition,

257

if you have any objection,

258

you can compete with me again.

259

No matter what we'll compete on, I am willing to play with you until the end.

260

No need.

261

Since I dare to accept the challenge, I'm able to accept defeat.

262

I just hope that

263

you can give me 3 days.

264

After 3 days, I will leave Pingcheng.

265

I believe you.

266

What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?

267

I just suddenly felt that I don't know you anymore.

268

Why so?

269

Do you still remember the act that you played

270

during the banquet on your first day here in the palace?

271

You intentionally wanted His Majesty to see it, am I right?

272

Yes.

273

I usually would see you ask His Majesty if he feels hot or cold,

274

giving him utmost attention. I thought that you're sincere towards him.

275

It seems that all are also for power.

276

Chuyu, tell me. Why did His Majesty like me?

277

Because you're beautiful, considerate,

278

simple-minded, and reliable.

279

What you said were all right.

280

Young, beautiful, naive, and simple,

281

all these are my good traits

282

and the reason why His Majesty liked me.

283

At the same time, an illustrious power and a respectable future

284

is His Majesty's good traits

285

and the reason why I love him.

286

Chuyu, why must you separate these two?

287

That is quite a stupid thing.

288

I don't understand.

289

Chuyu, since time immemorial, natural selection is based on survival of the fittest.

290

A man will choose to be with a beautiful lady.

291

At the same time, a woman will chose the strongest man to be her home.

292

But...my view might be a bit different from yours.

293

Even if Rong Zhi isn't the prince regent,

294

liking is liking. It won't become dislike.

295

Chuyu! Rong Zhi's elegant and unusual bearing,

296

and his intelligence that's way above others,

297

aren't those all a product of the royal family's teachings and upbringing?

298

You may opt not to like his power and position,

299

but everything that you like about him

300

was a product of power and wealth.

301

How then can you separate them?

302

Okay... I'm unable to beat you in this argument.

303

But...everything that happened today...did you already...

304

Since you know, why bother asking?

305

Not only me. Even mute servant,

306

we both are pawns that someone has arranged beforehand.

307

Just following the path given to me by someone and I can already enjoy as much glory, splendor, wealth, and fame in this world,

308

why wouldn't I be happy to do it?

309

Follow the path given by others?

310

Who then is the person that has arranged all these?

311

Do you still remember that day when you came to see me?

312

Confuciou said, learning...

313

Accompanying the emperor is like being with a tiger. You must always think carefully first before doing anything.

314

Yes.

315

I surely will not forget this kindness of Your Highness.

316

May Your Highness not worry.

317

I surely will be able to fulfill the task you ask of me.

318

Hongxiu!

319

Chuyu!

320

Catch me first!

321

Why are you here?

322

Who are you talking to earlier? Was it Rong Zhi?

323

You must have seen it wrong. How could Prince Regent come to a place like this?

324

What did you say?!

325

The person that day was Rong Zhi?!

326

- He is the person who set all these up?

- Go to the Feng Manor now

327

and won't you understand everything then?

328

Guiren, what's wrong with Prince Regent's Wife?

329

She got scared.

330

Scared? I heard that Princess Consort is quite brave.

331

She wasn't even scared of the bloodsucking butterflies.

332

How could she have been frightened by just a few words from you?

333

Yanzhi, in this world, the scariest thing isn't a bloodsucking butterfly,

334

but a human heart.

335

Prince Regent has ordered that all the members of the Feng family

336

are immediately under arrest and to be locked up in the Ministry of Justice to await trial.

337

I don't believe it! Where is Rong Zhi?

338

Tell him to come here! That bastard...

339

- I will never let him off!

- Hurry and move.

340

Hurry up!

341

Where's Empress Dowager? I want to see Her Highness the Empress Dowager.

342

- Shen Yu, all these...

- Hurry up!

343

were all of these Rong Zhi's doing?

344

He wanted to monopolize the government,

345

that's why, he betrayed our Feng clan!

346

He forced Empress Dowager to retreat back deep into the palace. He forced me to have no way out!

347

All these were plotted by him! Am I right?!

348

Full of nonsense. Immediately take him away!

349

Hong'er...

350

When you were little, you loved to play this rattle-drum.

351

You're a grown up now,

352

so you don't need me anymore.

353

Why?

354

How come everyone is blaming me?

355

Hong'er...

356

You should understand me.

357

How come even you are blaming me?

358

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

359

You're back after discussing major affairs with His Majesty?

360

I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I want to ask you a question.

361

What do you want to ask?

362

I want to ask...is Hong Xiu a pawn of yours?

363

Yes.

364

You clearly knew about the secret behind the bloodsucking butterflies,

365

yet you just watched as those people died and how I busied myself for it.

366

You never made any move.

367

Were you waiting for the best time to reveal everything in front of His Majesty?

368

- I didn't.

- What did you not do?

369

That you didn't plan to keep hiding it or that you didn't watch and did nothing about my efforts?

370

Rong Zhi, in your eyes, Hongxiu,

371

Feifeng General, including me, we're all pawns! Am I right?!

372

You're already thinking that way. I can't do anything about it anymore.

373

You don't even want to give me any explanations now? Is this really not worthy for your care?!

374

You have already thought of me as being so ruthless. Why then must you still get to the bottom of things?

375

If you say that it is, then it is.

376

Rong Zhi!

377

Your Highness.

378

Rong Zhi, you made me realize again what it means to be cold and heartless.

379

Thank you for your frankness.

380

Your Highness, why didn't you explain things to Princess Consort?

381

What she said is true. What's there to explain?

382

Even if everything is fake, your care towards her is true.

383

I've followed you for so long and has never seen you like this.

384

Don't mention this matter again.

385

Your Highness...

386

How did the matter that I tell you to do go?

387

Feng Tai is clamoring to make an appeal to Empress Dowager.

388

No need to mind him.

389

Do you think I'm being too harsh on the Feng clan?

390

Feng Tai has always acted arrogantly and unrestrained. He and you have also been in conflict for a long time.

391

Moreover, Empress Dowager Feng treated you with intimate and deep affection on the outside,

392

but secretly did all means to control your power.

393

She even secretly sent men to monitor your every move.

394

She didn't consider that you two are family to begin with, so why must we be lenient with them?

395

She is the Empress Dowager.

396

She used family ties to control me into planning things for her,

397

and used her power to hostage my wild ambitions. That's not surprising.

398

Your Highness.

399

Qingyue, why is a human heart is so complicated?

400

I can't understand Rong Zhi more and more.

401

Princess, I feel that humans and animals are actually the same.

402

You can't really request a wolf not to eat the rabbit or let the sheep go, right?

403

People are also the same. People can only...eat each other.

404

What I detest is not really the fights.

405

It's those that feign civility and won't even bat an eyelash acts

406

is what's making me feel how terrifying the human heart is.

407

It is also these that I can't accept.

408

Who is it?

409

It's you.

410

Princess Consort, I was careless earlier and broke a tea set. I'll go get a new one now.

411

Wait!

412

Qingyue.

413

Go and wait outside. I have something to talk to with Lanruo.

414

I...

415

Looks like it's Rong Zhi.

416

I indeed was ordered by His Highness

417

to accompany you all the time and not let you leave.

418

His Highness has helped me in the past. I dare not disobey him. But Princess Consort...

419

Get up.

420

Princess Consort, please don't go.

421

You are the Prince Regent's Consort. Where can you go now?

422

You must not.

423

Who said that I'm leaving?

424

I really am very worried.

425

Just based on your sincerity towards me, I wouldn't bear to leave.

426

Get up.

427

But you are unhappy.

428

All are now in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore.

429

Starting today, I guarantee that I won't go anywhere.

430

Stop worrying about me, okay?

431

During winter, everything here will be covered in snow. Pingcheng is really so beautiful to look at.

432

Really?

433

Also, the tree tops, the cornices,

434

will have frosts hanging over them.

435

The river surface will even form a thick sheath of ice.

436

By then, you can play with sleds.

437

Make holes in the ice to fish.

438

I like that one! When can we go?

439

The weather now is still this warm.

440

It's still too early for ice to form. Just patiently wait.

441

Princess Consort, I know what you're thinking.

442

What kind of a bet was that? All were just child's play. They couldn't be considered real.

443

If you really yield your position, that's what you call being stupid.

444

Did His Highness tell you anything? Or that Feifeng General—

445

None. Everyone didn't tell me anything.

446

Don't overthink.

447

What kind of woman have I not seen in the palace?

448

What's great about that Feifeng General?

449

She's just a woman who has a crush on His Highness.

450

As long His Highness is on your side, she won't be able to do anything.

451

It is indeed because of that,

452

that's why, she thought of a lowly trick to force you to leave.

453

Lanruo!

454

Princess Consort, can't you still see it?

455

This Feifeng General wants to use this competition

456

to drive you out of Pingcheng forever.

457

I personally agreed to this competition. Everyone knows that.

458

I then must admit defeat. There's nothing to say anymore.

459

If I complain of being wronged, I will look down on myself.

460

But a competition like that has no sense at all!

461

Enough. Stop saying it.

462

If you keep being like this, I won't bother with you anymore.

463

Princess Consort, I'm just worried about you.

464

Are you really going to give up your Princess Consort position

465

just for a competition like that?

466

Moreover, you married for your empire. If you go back like this now,

467

how are you going to explain that to Liu Song. If a war gets incited again,

468

won't all your sacrifices before be for naught?

469

This is my own choice.

470

No matter what the consequence is, I will bear it until the end.

471

Moreover, aren't I still here?

472

You have already decided to go, am I right?

473

Princess Consort, I know that I won't be able to stop you.

474

But I hope that you understand

475

that between you and Feifeng General,

476

who will leave and who will stay, is not up to you two.

477

More importantly, it will depend on what His Highness think.

478

That's why, why won't you ask him?

479

See who he truly loves in his heart.

480

Think about it well.

481

Don't make a decision that you will regret.

482

It wasn't easy for me to finally infiltrate the Prince Regent Manor.

483

You're just going to treat me like that?

484

- So painful.

- Is that for real?

485

It's true. So painful.

486

Quickly come over to take a look.

487

Did you sprain it?

488

Here.

489

- Here?

- Here.

490

It's not ripped open—

491

Qingyue, I like you.

492

You...let go!

493

You rascal! Let go of me!

494

You...

495

Pervert!

496

Qingyue, I am serious.

497

Your mistress lost the competition.

498

She surely will leave Pingcheng.

499

Your Liu Song is indeed very progressive.

500

But our Wei is not inferior in any respect.

501

I'll take you to eat all the delicious foods in Wei, travel around all the beautiful landscapes.

502

Let go!

503

Let's be happily together. Okay?

504

Let go!

505

Pervert! I'll tell Princess about this!

506

Qingyue! Wait a minute!

507

Aren't you General Shen?

508

You're still up at this late hour? Making rounds?

509

Deputy Commander Wang, you think the wall here is something that you can climb over every day?

510

If not because of me, you're long dead.

511

Really? Why don't you just continue letting me in?

512

I'll treat you to wine once I'm able to marry my future wife.

513

Qingyue is a simple-minded girl.

514

She doesn't know anything. Don't use your gimmicks on her.

515

I only asked her to stay.

516

Is there anything wrong with that? Do you want me to let her return to Liu Song?

517

Deputy Commander Wang, you think I'm gullible like Qingyue?

518

Isn't your real motive

519

just to test if Princess Consort will fulfill her promise?

520

Shen Yu, maybe I am indeed testing too,

521

but my feelings for Qingyue is real.

522

But she refused it already.

523

Immediately leave. Or else, don't blame me for being discourteous.

524

Shen Yu, you clearly have personal reasons.

525

You want to prevent me from approaching her?

526

You are jealous of me.

527

You clearly are jealous of me!

528

Stinky Wang Ze, you big pervert. You only know to bully me every time.

529

Bad person!

530

Hateful. I'll kill you.

531

Oh, my!

532

Who was that?! Don't you have eyes?! Always doing this...

533

Is there any end to this?!

534

Harming people with your slingshot again?

535

I didn't do it on purpose.

536

You did it on purpose.

537

No.

538

What's wrong?

539

What wrong with you?

540

Hey!

541

What is this?

542

Flour sack? Or a fragrance pouch?

543

Qingyue!

544

Sit.

545

I saw everything.

546

What did you see?

547

You gave Shen Yu a fragrance pouch.

548

And I was wondering why you're learning how to sew from Lanruo.

549

It was because you're not enlightened.

550

No. Princess, that was actually not a fragrance pouch. It was...

551

a flour sack.

552

- Ha?

- It's true.

553

Don't you know that just to get information about you, Shen Yu tried his best to get on my good side.

554

Hence, I gave him a flour sack.

555

From now on, he can put food or any fun items inside it.

556

This way, the snacks will not turn cold too.

557

Aren't I super smart?

558

Yes... Qingyue is the smartest.

559

Shen Yu is so pitiful.

560

Princess, but going back to it, are we really leaving?

561

Do you hate Prince Regent that much?

562

No. Thinking about it clearly, if I'm in Rong Zhi's position,

563

being feared by the Empress Dowager, being distanced from by His Majesty,

564

and even being resisted by the court minister,

565

his each steps were so difficult. But what about me?

566

I even fought with him last time and called him as being ruthless and selfish.

567

After calming down and thinking about it, if our position get switched, I might not be able to do it better than him.

568

That's why, I wont' blame him anymore.

569

What he needs is a woman like Huo Xuan,

570

a heart as firm as a rock, do things in a tough manner.

571

She can understand and assist him. Always putting the general situation first.

572

As for me, I'm too impulsive.

573

Hey, I'm not you, so why are you rubbing my head? How many times have you rubbed my head today?

574

I just want to rub it.

575

Princess Consort! Qingyue! What are you two doing?!

576

Do you want to get sick?!

577

Princess Consort!

578

Stop messing around!

579

Qingyue!

580

What sound is that?

581

- It seems to be coming from Red Phoenix Room.

- Don't run!

582

It's already so late. What ruckus is Princess Consort doing again?

583

- I just want to run!

- Qingyue!

584

Your Highness! Your Highness!

585

General Shen, what do you mean by this?

586

His Majesty sent you here to supervise and urge His Highness, not to monitor his every move.

587

Don't use a chicken feather as an imperial token.

588

Shen Yu!

589

After entering the Prince Regent Manor, you should always remember your status.

590

You must always put the happiness of His Highness first.

591

If you go beyond your proper place, I can only offend you.

592

Lanruo, if we play like this all the time, how fun will that be?

593

You should stop always putting up a frown.

594

You should laugh more. Laugh.

595

Give me a laugh...

596

Your Highness.

597

Qingyue, let's go out.

598

Let His Highness and Princess Consort have a good talk. Let's go.

599

I...did I disturb you?

600

Sorry. It won't happen again.

601

Rong Zhi...

602

Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Pingcheng.

603

- You...

- I didn't like you making me a stake.

604

I don't like you leaving just because you lost.

605

That's why, I won't allow you to leave.

606

What right do you have to no allow me?

607

Because I'm your husband.

608

That reason for me is meaningless. Is there any other reason?

609

Rong Zhi, if you want to make me stay,

610

then tell me a reason that will move me.

611

Will you able to say it?

612

Since there's nothing to talk about,

613

I'll go in now.

614

Stop right there!

615

A marriage alliance is not child's play. It can't be cancelled just like that!

616

But His Majesty personally bore witness to this bet.

617

Without my approval, there's no use even if it's His Majesty's decision.

618

Chuyu, I am not allowing you to leave.

619

But Rong Zhi, I don't want to hear about reasons like 'for the sake of the national interest'.

620

You clearly know what I want to hear, but you just won't say it.

621

You can easily say it out, but I can never will.

622

It's not because of cowardice, but I find it meaningless.

623

What do you mean by meaningless?

624

For me, interest is always more important than feelings.

625

As long as the Wei and Song agreement is existing, our marriage will not change.

626

For me, that is true forever.

627

But a forever like that

628

is something that I don't want at all.

629

Chuyu!

630

Sorry. I said before that I won't put you in a difficult spot again,

631

yet I have forgotten it.

632

Rong Zhi, thank you for accommodating my willfulness.

633

You still haven't promised me.

634

Don't leave Pingcheng.

635

Let's just talk about it next time. I'm sleeping now.
