Decree

of the Empress.

He Lingying, the eldest daughter of the family

is kind

and knowledgeable.

She is betrothed to the Crown Prince since childhood.

Five days later...

I've detained your father.

What you have to do now

is to take He Lingying as your wife.

With the support of her family,

you'll get to secure the throne.

Moreover, the frozen knot on He Lingying

is your true support.

The wedding of the Crown Prince should be held five days later.

The end of decree.

Thank you, Her Highness.

Have a safe trip, Eunuch Liu.

Seeing Eunuch Liu off.

Father.

I...

Ying'er.

Uncle.

The Crown Prince is known to be brutal and violent.

If Ying'er marries him,

I'm afraid...

Is there really no turning point?

Back then,

to consolidate the imperial power,

the late emperor had betrothed

Ying'er to the Crown Prince.

It isn't

just about you.

It relates to the stability of our family.

(What can be done even when I refuse it?)

(It relates to the entire family.)

If you really don't want it,

I can

plead to the Empress.

Father.

I'm just reluctant to leave the family.

I have no intention to reject the marriage.

Tongxue.

Can

this work?

All right.

Let's talk outside.

Don't disturb my mother's needling work.

Must you keep staring at me?

I'll stop

pestering you after today.

It's good to hear.

Why don't you

spend today with me?

Let's be

an ordinary husband and wife.

Forget it.

(Send Qiancao and her mother out of the city.)

(Upbringing is greater than everything.)

(I cannot abandon my godfather.)

(I have to get him out of the prison.)

Can

this work?

(Are you...)

(Are you my father?)

No.

So.

Did my father send you here to pick us up?

No.

Thank you for the rescue.

I'll repay you in the future.

No.

No way.

No way.

No regrets.

- I made a mistake. Where should I put it? - No regrets.

Tongxue,

you have the blood of the emperor.

You're different from others.

You must live up to your bloodline.

Just give me 20 years.

No.

Ten years.

I'll stand out.

After that,

I'll repay you

with everything that I have.

Brother Lu.

What is this?

It's the identification of you and your mother.

There're also the house and land deeds in Yangzhou

as well as the customs document.

I'll take you out of the city.

Where is he?

Has something happened to him?

It's none of your business.

Chen Tongxue.

You didn't expect yourself

being imprisoned, right?

I knew this day could happen

since I stood out.

I've lost everything.

I'm also tired of the rivalry in the imperial family.

You can do

whatever you like to me.

However,

I still want to give you an advice.

I advise you

to pull back before it's too late.

Stop acting stupid.

Don't you have the delusion of an instant success

with the imperial blood flowing in you?

Who

will speak against

sentencing you to death?

The winner is undecided.

It's not certain who will die.

Sign it

for a quick death.

Don't think you can make me

the scapegoat.

It doesn't matter.

It can be signed after killing you.

I die for righteousness.

You live

a pathetic life.

Well said.

I grant your wish.

Stop.

Decree

of the Empress.

The Crown Prince

is summoned to Yuqian Palace.

Lucky you.
