[Unchained Love]

[Episode 8]

You've worked hard, Princess.

You owe me another one.

I will remember

the kindness you have showed today.

This jade is so important

because it is related to the Prince of Nanyuan, right?

His Highness's piece of Hetian jade

is an important emblem of the Yuwen family.

Young Prince Yuwen is too much.

How can he be so careless

with such an important item?

He’ll definitely regret it in a few days.

Why don’t you find someone

to forge another piece?

Leave it to me

to find an excuse to return it to him,

to avoid him catching on.

That is very thoughtful.

Yes, Your Highness.

[Yuwen]

My brother ascended the throne in a hurry,

so he is unfamiliar with court politics.

It is fortunate he has you

to keep an eye on things for him.

Of course I have to help you.

It's rare that I get to see you.

Why don't we

go into the city for some spring wine?

I have something important to do today.

Thank you for your generous invitation, Princess,

but I will have to decline.

What could possibly be so important?

It is important.

It's extremely important.

I will drop by your residence another day

to repay your generosity.

Godfather,

it looks like it will rain soon.

It'll be hard to get to the Mausoleum.

I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time.

Are we still going?

Yes.

Do you think

he already knows

that I beat up Eunuch Liu?

He must already know.

Perhaps, on his way here,

he's pondering how he will deal with me.

Am I going to die?

Tongyun, how about we run?

Tongyun, wake up.

[Hall of Peace]

Where is Chief Xiao?

I see.

It's on purpose.

He did this on purpose.

He wants to

keep me hanging.

He's going to wait till I'm half dead from fear,

before smiting me with one blow.

This is exactly how

cats play with mice.

He said he wanted to meet you.

But he probably said it casually,

and has already forgotten about it.

Mistress.

Let's go back. I'm hungry again.

He is

a narrow-minded and vengeful person.

If he comes and sees that I'm not here,

how could I explain myself?

Leave if you dare.

No.

I dare not.

Mistress.

I'm afraid it's going to rain.

Are you blind?

How can it rain when the sun is so bright?

♫ My previous life is still awake, but I am helpless ♫

♫ In my dream, I still pretend ♫

♫ I don’t know I am a wanderer ♫

♫ How can I ♫

♫ Divide the moon ♫

♫ Or not ♫

Mistress.

The gates will be closing soon.

Chief Xiao won’t be coming.

Let’s go back.

♫ Or ♫

Godfather,

it's already past visiting hours.

The gate is closed.

Why don't we go back?

Mistress.

This is so irritating.

He made an appointment, but didn't show up.

What does he take me for?

Did you catch a cold?

No, no.

Mistress, don't be angry.

Since he hoodwinked you like this,

let’s not pay him any notice anymore.

Xiao Duo.

Well done.

Do you know why he didn't come?

Why?

It's because

he's not concerned about me.

The Mausoleum is in such a remote location.

As long as he isn't thinking about me,

I'll be safe,

and everything will go well.

That's great.

You won't bootlick him anymore?

I've already left the Imperial City,

what would I still be doing that for?

I, Bu Yinlou,

am going to make a solemn vow.

If I ever see him again,

the one who speaks first,

is a dog!

Say something.

What do you mean

by giving something so ugly to me?

You speak so well,

why aren't you saying anything now?

I'm nervous.

How can you hear

what I'm thinking?

What's the fuss?

You can do it too.

What did they say?

It feels like they said a lot,

but also like they didn’t say anything.

Chief Xiao,

I’m sorry.

No, I was wrong.

Tell me what you did wrong.

I was late,

and kept you waiting.

It's my fault.

We're friends.

Don't mention it.

You bought this kite incidentally?

You were able to buy

such a beautiful kite incidentally.

Your hands

one in a million.

This is...

A goldfish.

Goldfish?

Okay.

Have you calmed down, Your Highness?

Just so-so.

If it weren’t for

your handsome looks,

I wouldn't calm down,

no matter what.

It's getting late.

It's not appropriate for you to stay here.

How about...

It's about time.

Let me see you off.

No need.

I want to take you away with me.

[Silence Room]

Eunuch Liu.

Why are you laughing?

Let me tell you.

I've received orders from the higher-ups.

They said that there's a flu epidemic here,

and that the disease is fatal.

So from today onwards,

we'll be temporarily suspending classes.

No gatherings are allowed,

and no one is allowed to go in or out.

Consort Dowager Duan.

Do you understand?

D- Don't tell me

you've caught the disease?

Consort Dowager Duan,

[Silence Room]

Take good care of yourself.

Don't go out.

Close the door.

A flu epidemic?

Your lie

is too flamboyant, don't you think?

I know I was wrong.

I shouldn't have caused trouble,

I shouldn't have hit Eunuch Liu either.

Please.

Can you let me go?

Who is Eunuch Liu?

It's fine if you hit him.

What? You didn't hit him hard enough?

You want me to do it again on your behalf?

You didn't come here for this?

Didn't you ask me to keep a low profile?

I said it in passing.

I knew you wouldn't listen.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Then why are you here?

You'll know.

What do I know?

[Fushui Town, Old Bu’s Residence]

[Bu’s Residence]

[Bu’s Residence]

[Bu’s Residence]

Why don't you go in?

That day,

in front of the Mausoleum,

you heard what I was saying?

I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

I happened to hear it, so I made a mental note of it.

You miss your mother very much,

so go take a look.

Your mother must miss you too.

My mother has always been in poor health.

Last year, she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.

[Bu’s Residence]

My father arranged for her to stay

in this old residence.

My mother wanted me to grow up quickly

and leave the family,

so I would no longer be manipulated by the Bus.

Since I entered the palace,

she hasn't sent me a single letter.

She must be mad at me.

No.

She did it for you.

She will only be concerned about you.

she won't be mad at you.

Go take a look.

Mother.

Mother!

[Pure Orchid’s Fragrance]

Mother.

Mother!

Yinlou.

Father.

Why have you come back?

[Grand Tutor Bu Yulu]

Shouldn't you be at the Mausoleum?

Did you escape?

That is a crime

that could get the whole family executed!

Where is my mother?

You're talking nonsense again.

She is your second mother.

Don't ask me about this.

I'm asking you.

Why are you back?

Hurry up,

come with me to turn yourself in at the Magistrate's.

Let's go.

The reunion between Grand Tutor Bu and his daughter

shouldn't look like this.

Chief Xiao.

I've heard that Grand Tutor Bu

doesn't visit his old residence often.

What a coincidence,

seeing you here today.

I've caused you trouble.

You know how it's like at court

these days.

I don’t want to compete with anyone.

Besides, I'm already an old man.

Therefore, I don't like staying in the capital for long.

I came back here today

to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Chief Xiao,

I’m very grateful that you have personally

sent my daughter back today.

Yinlou.

Why didn't you inform me

in advance?

If it weren't for the fact that

I happened to return to the old residence today,

Chief Xiao would have

come all the way with you for nothing.

That would be an effrontery to Chief Xiao.

You look good, Father,

and you seem to be in better health.

You should take care of yourself.

I always worry about you.

I acted out of line today.

The old residence isn't far from the Imperial Mausoleum,

so I thought to come to visit my second mother.

Originally, I wanted to

share your burden.

But it seems like this house

has been empty for a long time.

Where is she?

Your second mother has recovered,

so I've brought her back

to our residence in the capital.

Has Second Mother really recovered?

When did she recover?

Not long after you left.

This is all

thanks to His Majesty.

Chief Xiao,

you are His Majesty’s right-hand man.

There's something

I have to ask you.

I've heard the rumor

regarding His Majesty and my daughter.

Now, His Majesty

has asked you

to personally escort her back.

But the Imperial Mausoleum

isn't a place one can enter and leave at will.

What exactly

does His Majesty have in mind?

Grand Tutor Bu,

what do you think?

This is my daughter's blessing.

Yinlou,

you must

serve His Majesty well,

and obey Chief Xiao's commands.

Don’t let down

His Majesty's

concern for you.

I understand.

Father, don’t worry.

Chief Xiao's tea has gone cold.

Why don't you pour him another cup?

Yes.

[Bu's Residence]

Chief Xiao.

The rules at the Imperial Mausoleum are strict,

so Yinlou must return soon.

Otherwise, I must

host you for a few more days.

I've prepared a carriage for you,

please travel safe.

Thank you.

I won’t trouble you to see me off.

I heard that you’re a man of refined taste.

A few days ago,

I made a mountains and rivers painting.

I hope that you will accept it.

My daughter is young and ignorant.

In the future, I will have to trouble you

to keep an eye on her.

Grand Tutor Bu, you worry too much.

I will take good care of Her Highness.

Goodbye.

[Bu's Residence]

He's quite generous.

Your Highness.

Don't try to persuade me.

What an aristocratic family! What a father!

He's so shameless

while he's selling off his daughter.

He's fed all his conscience to the dogs!

Anyone can say that,

anyone except

him, a father.

No.

That's my money you were throwing away.

Didn't I

throw it in the carriage?

I'll pick it up after I have vented my frustrations.

I meant,

if you don't like it,

feel free to throw it away.

Don't worry about me.

I refuse.

It wasn't easy to get this out of him.

It's a waste if I don't take it.

Are you laughing at me?

I dare not.

You are laughing.

I was just thinking

that even though you seem to be

happy-go-lucky all the time,

you have your own share of hardships too.

I heard that you grew up with your mother

in West Shu.

It was only when you turned twelve,

that you were brought back to the Bu family in the capital.

All these years, you were neglected by your father,

and mistreated by your legitimate mother.

Your time in the Bu family

must have been tough.

Don't pick them up anymore.

You're right.

I shouldn't.

What's not mine

will never be mine.

I've been thinking

that although you are baseborn,

you are still from an aristocratic family.

It's a wealthy and carefree life.

Why do you have to conceal yourself,

and what's keeping you on your toes?

Now I understand.

Because there no one to protect you.

And you have a

sickly and helpless mother

who needs your protection.

In order to protect yourself

and the people you care about,

you had no choice but to raise your defenses

and guard against

those wicked people around you.

You said I am like the daylily,

but aren't you the same?

Well.

What a coincidence.

Stop the carriage.

I'm so fed up with

having to patronize you,

and going around in circles.

Let's get straight to the point.

You brought me here,

and said all of these.

What do you want?

Don't say you're trying to make me happy.

I'll misunderstand.

Do you really care about me?

How do you know that I don't?

Who do you think we are?

If I said I believe you,

would you believe me?

What?

Someone once told me

that cherries are sweet.

When you eat them, the bitterness in our hearts goes away.

Do you still feel bitter?

A little sour.

Sour?

I never know what's on your mind,

and you always fool with me.

I'm afraid of you. Don't you know that?

Then, let me apologize to you.

I promise you

I won't scare you again.

Actually,

you didn't do anything to me.

It's just that you suddenly

began treating me well.

What do you want from me?

Do you...

really...

want to be sisters?

This cherry tastes sour at first,

but-

After a while,

it's quite sweet.

Is it sweet?

Yes.

What do you want?

Chief Xiao,

in life,

we must make sacrifices.

Now, it seems

we can't return to the Mausoleum.

It's a beautiful night. How can we let it go to waste?

Why don't we

stay out?

Chief Xiao,

you understand what I'm saying,

right?

Let's go play.

Weren't you quite capable just now?

Why is it that you became weak

when it came to rowing?

I really don't know how to do this.

You're so arrogant about not knowing.

But it doesn't matter.

Let me teach you.

Move forward.

Make a circle.

It's not hard.

443.

444.

445.

Stop counting.

If it wasn't for your godfather,

would I have caught a cold in the rain?

Would I be sneezing?

446.

Why isn't Godfather back yet?

Why isn't Mistress back yet?

Wait.

What's up with your godfather?

Where did he take my mistress?

Doesn't he need to go back to the capital

to take care of state affairs?

Miss Tongyun,

you shouldn't say that.

My godfather set aside

all his important affairs,

just to mess around with who, exactly?

Don't speak ill of my mistress!

Apart from my godfather,

no one

has dared to hit me on the head.

You're brave.

Let's have a duel.

Sure.

Let's go.

No.

Yes.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Turn it over.

Well,

thank you for today.

I didn't expect

you would really bring me out to play.

I have a gift for you.

A madiao card?

It's brand new,

and unique.

It belongs to you. It's your card.

[Xiao Duo]

Xiao Duo.

God of Calamity.

Special power: Unpredictable, given to playing tricks.

Stunningly beautiful.

It turns out that in your eyes,

I command the world with my good looks.

Can't you tell

that I'm trying to flatter you?

I can't.

But

I like it.

I want to see your card.

The drawing on mine is rather sketchy.

I won't laugh.

[Bu Yinlou]

You said you wouldn't laugh.

I just think it's cute.

The quality of your artwork

really fluctuates.

It's a little embarrassing

to draw myself

after all.

Bu Yinlou.

[Bu Yinlou]

Consecrated salted fish.

Why don't you have special powers?

I can't use this card at all

in a game.

It's a useless card.

It doesn't stand a chance,

when put up against

you kings and generals.

I refuse to be humiliated.

But it's against the rules

to not play a card that's in your hands.

I made the card,

so I decide the rules.

If I say it's useless,

then it is useless.

If I say it's a good card,

then it is a good card.

If one day my cards

are so lousy that I can't play anymore,

I will say this card

is used specially to deactivate other cards.

It can take on any card it comes across.

That's why its so empty,

and so clean.

I've never seen anyone so shameless

at this game.

Why do you need shame when playing cards?

It's all for fun.

I like this card too.

I'll take it with me too.

No, it's too ugly.

-It's not ugly. It's cute. -Give it back.

It's too ugly. Give it back to me.

No, it's cute.

Five scholars, six six six.

Six-

Cao Chun'ang.

This is the wine my mistress kept away.

How dare you throw it up?

W- Who threw up?

I- I didn't.

Okay.

No one is allowed to leave today.

Whoever leaves

is a dog.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Well,

it's getting late.

I- I'll go check if my godfather

is back yet.

If you go, you're a dog.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Drink.

Why aren't you drinking?

Drink.

I can't drink.

Your tolerance

is indeed worrying.

You must practice.

You must practice

to get to my level.

You're drunk.

Let me send you back.

Your hands are so warm.

Just like Father's.

When I was young, the other kids bullied me.

They said-

They said my mother was a concubine,

and that I didn't have a home.

I thought

they had no idea what they were talking about.

Later,

my father came to pick me up.

I held his hand.

My mother carried a lantern.

We got on the boat

and went a long way.

I thought I had a home then.

But

mother was unhappy.

She didn't like that family.

I don't like that family either.

My mother

didn't get with my father

of her own accord.

She doesn't want to be like an object.

She wants to

to follow her heart

and be a free person.

I want to be

a free person too.

Why

can't people be like this

their whole lives?

Doing whatever they want to do.

Going wherever they want to go.

Being with whoever

they want to be with.

So,

who do you want to be with now?

Well...

You.

Fish Immortal.

Fried lard.

Cumin. Give me some!

Yinlou.

Yinlou!

Yinlou!

Yinlou!

Yinlou!

Yinlou!

Yinlou!

Open the door!

Yinlou, save me!

Please! Open the door!

Yinlou?

Beauty Li.

Eunuch Liu.

Consort Dowager Duan has been infected.

She's asleep now.

You mustn't

disturb her.

Eunuch Liu,

I beg you.

Please let me go.

I beg you.

Please spare me.

Take her away.

No!

No, Bu Yinlou.

Bu Yinlou!

Help me, Bu Yinlou!

Bu Yinlou!

Bitch!

If someone hadn't seen you

entering my room that day,

I still wouldn't know

who had hit me.

I treated you wholeheartedly,

but you conspired with Bu Yinlou

to make me suffer.

Do you want to die?

Do you really think

I'm afraid of her?

It's a long way from the Imperial City here.

Even if she has a backer,

who would come all the way to the Imperial Mausoleum

to stand up for her?

Here,

I have the final say.

Didn't you scream?

Didn't you shout?

Your throat must hurt now.

Who came to save you?

Is she here?

Bitch!

Here.

Swallow

all these.

No.

Swallow it.

Sir,

Sir I know I was in the wrong.

Please, Sir.

I know I was in the wrong.

Please.

Please spare me.

Please.

Don't hurt your face.

Look at you now.

You look like a flower that has fallen into mud.

[Silence Room]

Mistress.

What took you so long?

Something happened to Beauty Li.

Sister Li.

Sister Li.

Eunuch Liu.

Sister Li.

Mind your own business.

Don't ruin my future.

I've figured it out.

This is a good thing.

Instead of being inferior

and be trampled on by others,

It's better to trust

someone I can trust.

Eunuch Liu is despicable and shameless.

He's not a worthy source of support.

Then who is worthy of me?

You?

Tell me.

I begged you

outside your door last night.

Why didn't you open the door?

I didn't know

you came to me last night.

Last night, I—

I wasn't at the mausoleum.

You weren't at the mausoleum?

Where did you go?

I...

Leave.

Don't worry.

I won't slit my wrists

or bash my head into the wall.

I won't die.

Sister Li.
