[Your Sensibility My Destiny]

[Episode 21]

For lovers,

to be able to live and die together is a blessing.

However, I wonder,

in the case where one has to die in order to keep another person alive,

if I were to make a choice,

I would definitely

choose to let you live.

But if you are alive,

I wouldn't easily give up on my life.

♫ Just like the silver-white orb of the full moon ♫

♫ Healing your sorrow ♫

♫ It is indeed a long journey ♫

♫ The remaining warmth seems redundant ♫

♫ Your confused face imprinted on my mind ♫

♫ Whose warmth are you trying to protect? ♫

♫ The seiche on the lake ♫

♫ Secretly come into contact, please don't melt ♫

♫ We promised to brave the dream together ♫

♫ Bear it in mind, don't forget about it ♫

The painter has expressed

the love in our eyes through the painting.

Let's keep it.

When you are mad at me,

you may look at this painting

to feel my love for you.

Why would I be mad at you?

Unless...

Unless you have another affair behind my back!

It's the Ancestral Remembrance Ceremony tomorrow.

We are going to the palace early in the morning.

♫ How do I feel touched in the world when I am emotionless? ♫

Rest early.

Are you sure

about giving up the throne tomorrow?

♫ Don't talk about the interlacing of fate ♫

Didn't we discuss it before?

Don't be afraid.

That's the happiest choice I could make.

♫ I feel the fluctuation of emotions all of a sudden ♫

♫ The years forgot about being rejected ♫

♫ Sad about parting, longing has turned into shame ♫

♫ Scattered fragments randomly put together ♫

♫ The loneliness of the moon drifted onto earth ♫

♫ Who is sitting at the window alone? ♫

♫ How do I hold your hand bravely again? ♫

♫ If letting go of the light can cast me into a sub-conscious state ♫

♫ I'll wait on the spot ♫

♫ In the lonely night, a tear can change a lifetime of glancing back ♫

♫ There's a storm in my heart but I'm acting calm ♫

♫ I'd willingly turn into the wind, blowing across the stars ♫

♫ After those gloomy years, will I finally be able to forget the outside world ♫

♫ And hold you in my arms? ♫

♫ This evening rain evokes those times when my hands rest on your shoulders ♫

♫ Stepping into the fleeting time, all is dyed red ♫

[Lin Chi, don't blame me.]

♫ Time fleets just like before, like a dream ♫

[I hope that we will be born in an ordinary family in the next life.]

[We will get married again and we will never be separated.]

The first bow.

Bow to Heaven for creating everything.

The second bow.

Bow to Earth for nurturing humankind.

The third bow.

Bow to the royal ancestors for passing down the lineage.

It is early in the morning in spring.

Time to make tribute and pay respects.

Now is the auspicious time.

We cordially invite the second prince, Ji Ding Lan,

to pray for all the living beings in the world.

Is this supposed to be a blessing?

This is...

Why isn't His Highness praying?

[Lin Chi, I'm sorry.]

[I know that you would understand.]

Lan'er!

What is the second prince doing?

The nerves of the fingertips are connected to the heart.

Why does he appear so calm?

Mo Qing Chen, no!

The second prince of Nanlu, Ji Ding Lan,

is the senseless monster

mentioned in the Imperial Preceptor's prophecy.

Your Majesty, he must be possessed.

How can this be?

Royal guards, protect His Majesty!

Seize this monster!

Send Her Majesty back to the palace.

Let go of me!

Don't say anything. Just swallow it.

I'm sorry.

This is the last time I can protect you.

Get hold of the monster!

Mo Qing Chen!

No!

Father, Lin Chi and Mother

are unaware that I'm the monster. They must not be punished.

I admit that I'm a monster.

I surrender myself to you.

Lock him away in the prison.

I'll decide when to execute him.

-Yes. -Yes.

Mo Qing Chen!

Let go of me!

Mo Qing Chen.

No.

No!

No!

No!

The Emperor of Nanlu hereby announces

the second prince, Ji Ding Lan has been living in isolation since childhood

and he has been secretive all this while.

It is now revealed that

he is the monster who would shake up the Kingdom of Ji.

Hence, he is sentenced to death to ensure the prosperity of the kingdom.

No!

No!

Chi.

Madam.

Qiu Wan.

Where is Mo Qing Chen?

He was locked away in the prison.

He has not been convicted

but I'm afraid

he would be sentenced to death anytime now.

Like you said, he has not been convicted.

Perhaps he can still be saved.

Where is Her Majesty?

Her Majesty has been grounded

and is under the close watch of the Yulin Guards.

It's no different than being banished to the cold palace.

Well...

Let's plead to His Majesty.

I requested to see Father

but was turned down time and again.

I think His Majesty decided not to see me knowing that I have a motive.

Yes.

Now, you can't go anywhere.

After Young Master Mo was arrested,

Wu Mo Manor

has been kept under watch by Prince Rui's people.

It's almost impossible

for people in the manor

to leave the manor.

Open the door.

Your Highness, the second prince...

Ji Ding Lan is skilled in martial arts.

I'm worried about your safety, Your Highness.

It doesn't matter.

No matter how powerful he is,

he can't do anything to me.

Isn't it?

Don't worry.

The antidote that I gave her was genuine.

Of course.

Otherwise, the prison might not be able to hold me.

Although the poison has been neutralised,

she is still within my control.

I know that.

You will stop only after I die.

It's between us.

Don't implicate others.

especially the Lin family.

You are indebted to the Lin siblings too much.

Don't be pretentious.

The Empress and you

are indebted to me just as much.

This time, I'll make sure you and your mother

pay the blood debt owed to my mother.

Do you really think that it is so easy

to convict the current empress?

What did you say?

After my demise,

the prophecy that threatens our father will die down too.

Based on your understanding of our father,

will he disclose the secret of the present royal family

because of you and your mother?

Ding Lan.

Lan'er.

Your Majesty!

Where is Ding Lan?

What happened to Ding Lan?

The second prince has been locked away in the prison by His Majesty.

I want to see His Majesty.

-Your Majesty. -I want to see His Majesty!

I don't think you can do that.

Why?

His Majesty has made a decree to lock the palace down.

No one can come in or leave the palace.

His Majesty hasn't convicted Your Majesty.

I guess it's because His Majesty takes your marriage with him into account.

Your Majesty, in my humble opinion,

between the kingdom and your beloved son, which is more important,

can't Your Majesty decide?

Father, you have always been a wise man.

If Your Majesty is thinking for the kingdom and the people,

Your Majesty should at least

give an explanation to the officials who attended the ceremony.

In that case, your wish is granted.

We shall select a date to kill your second brother.

What say you?

I dare not decide.

I'll leave the decision wholly to you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, redressing justice can benefit the kingdom.

Since the second prince has been arrested,

then Her Majesty...

Since everyone knows that Ding Lan is a monster,

what is the fault of the Empress?

I'm sure that you understand, Father.

Back then, Her Majesty framed my mother,

causing her death.

Now that the truth is out,

I beg of Your Majesty to get to the bottom of it

so that my mother could rest in peace.

Is your mother more important than the peace and stability of society?

Are you saying

we should look past

that incident, Your Majesty?

I have issued a decree.

The Empress's palace is now the cold palace.

I have ordered the Yulin Guards to keep a close watch on the palace.

No one is allowed to go in or come out.

Of course,

no one is allowed

to harm the Empress.

Who would have thought that the prophecy was true.

I can't believe that Ding Lan lied in our face for so long.

Even you believe that the prophecy is true.

No, I don't mean that.

It's impossible that Ding Lan is a monster.

Mo Qing Chen sacrificed himself for his lover.

He gave up on everything.

So what if he is a monster?

Ji Ding Yue claims himself a normal being

but he is so much more vicious than a monster.

He got locked up in prison because of me.

If something happens to him, I won't live alone.

I will find a way to rescue him.

Why don't

we break the prison?

Did I say something wrong?

You are not wrong.

However, how do we break the prison?

We just have to bribe the prison guards

and exchange Ding Lan

with a death row prisoner.

How could it be so easy?

No way we could

bribe the guards of the prison so effortlessly.

Actually, before my uncle

was in charge of the army of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun,

he used to be the commander of the imperial guards.

Ever since he left,

the imperial guards have been reorganised into the Yulin Guards.

Some former guards

have been assigned as the guards of the prison or the patrol camp.

I will look into it tomorrow.

I don't think it is a problem.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun?

Why did you hide it from me?

Don't you trust me?

I have never attempted to hide it from you.

None of you know that?

Ding Lan and others know about it.

The main issue is

how do we rescue him from the prison.

I think we need to get help from Constable Du.

I'll go get him now.

Hold on.

Don't go.

We must not get Du Ruo involved in this.

He has a duty.

He is unlike us.

Some of us care about nothing while some of us have royal privileges.

We must not

get Du Ruo involved in such huge trouble.

Announcing the arrival of His Majesty.

Father?

His Majesty is here for inspection.

All of you should leave now.

Without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to come in.

Yes, sir!

Open the door.

Leave.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Today, we are not ruler and subject.

Stand up.

I apologise for not being a good son.

Sorry to have made you worry, Father.

Are you aware

that there's no escape for you this time?

You've been hiding for so long.

So why...

Father, don't mind it.

This is my choice.

Did you do that for Lin Chi?

Is it worth it?

No offence,

but does Your Majesty really believe

that I am the monster mentioned in the prophecy?

At this stage,

whether I believe it or not

doesn't make any difference.

In that case,

I'm willing to sacrifice myself

for you and the kingdom.

All I ask is that you

won't forget your promise to me.

Please treat Mother kindly.

Don't worry.

I take my promise seriously.

What else do you want to say?

I'm afraid that Lin Chi and Ding Luan

will try to rescue me

upon knowing that I'm doomed.

As such,

please put them under control on my behalf.

Don't let them stir up trouble.

[Supreme Court]

[Everything Mo Qing Chen did during the ceremony]

[must have had a reason.]

[Could it be related to Chi?]

[Wu Mo Manor is heavily guarded by Prince Rui's people.]

[I need to go to the prison now.]

Constable Du.

Eunuch Dai.

Please come with me.

Here comes the imperial decree.

Announcing the imperial decree.

By the will of Heaven and the Emperor's decree,

[Edict]

the Emperor of Nanlu commands that

the second prince, Ji Ding Lan,

slaughtered the people and is full of wickedness.

His crimes are unforgivable.

Hence, his family and friends,

including everyone in the Wu Mo Manor,

will be exiled to a thousand miles away effective immediately.

End of decree.

Eunuch Dai, it's getting late.

Could we depart tomorrow?

We need some time to pack up too.

It's a command from His Majesty.

You are ordered to depart soon.

No delay is allowed.

You will be escorted by the Yulin Guards.

No one is allowed to stand in the way

or they'll be beheaded pursuant to the crime of harming royal family members.

I'm not leaving.

I'm a monster too.

I'll die together with him.

His Majesty has given the command.

Prince Jing with the aid of the Yulin Guards

will see you out of the capital.

At the moment, he is waiting outside the capital.

What are you waiting for?

Send them off.

Your Highness, this way please.

Move! Hurry!

Hurry!

Who are you?

Having received the command from the Emperor of Nanlu,

I'm here to take the murderer, Ji Ding Lan,

to the Supreme Court for trial.

Nonsense!

This man is the most wanted prisoner in the prison.

What does he have to do with the Supreme Court?

Here is the golden badge granted by His Majesty.

You'd better let me in.

Those who stand in my way

will be killed.

Open the door.

Having received the secret command from His Majesty,

I'm here to get to the bottom

of the massacre of the Lin family that took place ten years ago.

Now, the truth is out.

The culprit is the second prince, Ji Ding Lan.

Hence, I'm here to take Your Highness

to plead guilty at the Supreme Court.

Father has indeed chosen a good reason.

Not only would it shut the officials and the people's mouths,

but also stop the rumour that a monster was born in the royal family.

Your Highness, this way please.

If I may ask,

does His Highness need to be escorted by the prison guards?

Since the command comes from the Supreme Court,

the prison guards should stay out of this.

Your Highness.

Mother.

This time, I will make sure our enemies are doomed to perdition.

Your Highness.

Eunuch Dai delivered an imperial decree today

wherein Wu Mo Manor is to be closed down

while Lin Chi is to be banished.

She is escorted by the Yulin Guards and has departed.

Banish?

Rubbish! Why didn't you inform me earlier?

No way! Bring our people

and come with me to the prison.

Yes.

Report!

Your Highness,

Du Ruo of the Supreme Court showed us a golden badge granted by His Majesty

and claimed that he received a command from His Majesty

to take the prisoner, Ji Ding Lan,

to the Supreme Court for trial.

The Supreme Court?

How is that possible?

According to Du Ruo,

His Majesty commanded the Supreme Court to get into the bottom

of the massacre of the Lin family ten years ago.

Now, it is proven

that the murderer is the second prince, Ji Ding Lan.

Hence, His Highness is taken to the Supreme Court to plead guilty.

Go down.

Father.

Send my order.

Send a troop to the outskirts of the capital.

Tell them to slay Ji Ding Lan once they see him.

The rest of the guards will come with me to the Supreme Court.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Lin Chi is waiting for you in the woods

in the Southwest of the outskirts of the city.

Releasing a murderer without permission is a felony.

If I leave now,

how do you bear the charge?

Since I have the golden badge granted by His Majesty,

I am well protected for sure.

Father?

[Imperial Decree]

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Rise.

I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me in secret.

I need you to complete a mission.

However, this mission is extremely dangerous.

[Imperial Decree]

[Imperial Decree]

Everyone knows your martial arts are second to none.

I'm not skilful enough to stop you from escaping.

It's reasonable.

A fit horse is waiting for you outside the capital.

What are you waiting for?

Once I leave,

no matter how hard my father tries to protect you,

I'm afraid you will still be blamed for dereliction of duty.

It's okay.

Getting blamed for dereliction of duty is better than being sentenced to death.

I couldn't be more thankful.

I promise,

I will surely repay your kindness one day soon.

You don't have to thank me.

I do this for Lin Chi.

If you die,

Lin Chi will live in misery even if she survives.

Never come back again after you have left.

Treat her well.

Okay.

We will do as per what you suggested.

Let the public misunderstand

I'm trumping up a charge against Ding Lan via the murder case ten years ago.

As for Lin Chi,

I will make arrangements on my own.

Command taken.

[Imperial Decree]

Remember,

I have never met you today.

This golden badge

was not passed to you by me.

Got it?

Got it.

[Imperial Decree]

[Those are Prince Rui's soldiers.]

[If I go right through them,]

[I may attract more soldiers.]

[It's not a big deal to me]

[but I'm afraid they would find Lin Chi as a result.]

[We have come so far.]

[I could only go all out.]

Who are you?

[Ming Capital]

I won't miss this shot.

Father.

Take care!

Listen carefully.

Today,

I had never seen anyone

passed by this place.

Do you hear me?

Yes!

[Supreme Court]

Where is he?

He has left.

It's my father.

My father told you to release him.

You worry too much, Your Highness.

There is no imperial decree.

[Imperial Decree]

I forged the golden badge.

So, you are just an abandoned chess piece of my father.

I don't understand what you are saying

but I know I can't escape from my punishment for deceiving the Emperor.

Is it possible that you don't dare to kill me, Your Highness?

[Supreme Court]

[This person is closely associated with Lin Chi.]

[I should keep him.]

[Perhaps he will come in handy in the future.]

You want to die? Fat chance.

Take him.

Yes.

[Supreme Court]

Report!

Your Highness,

Ji Ding Lan has escaped from the gate.

Send my order.

Go after Ji Ding Lan now.

If you can't arrest him alive, bring his head to me.

Yes!

Why took him so long?

Did something happen to him?

Did Eunuch Dai trick us?

Young Master Mo is here.

Finally, you are here.

I thought you were trapped.

On Father's orders, Du Ruo

rescued me from the prison.

Du Ruo? Is he okay?

Don't worry, Du Ruo did it on my father's command.

My father has made arrangements for him.

We shall talk about the details later.

The crisis has not yet passed.

Let's look for a safe place to shelter ourselves.

Take it.

Master, this is...

Actually,

I have saved up some money in secret

and purchased a house.

It was meant for me

to hide away from my enemies.

Now, our life is getting better.

I never have to hide away in that house.

But now, it will find use.

Consider it your dowry.

Master, others don't know you well.

I know you best.

You have given your only asset to me.

I bet it's killing you inside.

Look.

Look at you.

How dare you tease your master?

You are bullying your master.
