Yuan, my daughter, you are going to marry to Linchuan,

I'm sorry that I can only

see you off here.

Mother, don't worry about me.

I will

come back soon to visit you.

Yuan.

Your Majesty.

Mother, what happened to your hand?

I'm fine.

I just accidentally scratched my finger.

It's a long way to Linchuan.

Take care of yourself, Yuan.

Alright, sister,

it's getting late.

You should set off.

Brother, you promised me

that

our father would send me off today.

Where

is he?

Sister,

I forgot to tell you

that our father

had a sudden illness yesterday.

You are so filial.

So I think you can understand

that he is too weak to see you off today, right?

Feng Yin, you...

Your Highness,

our Young Mater

ordered me

to take the Princess to Linchuan.

He is considerate.

Sister,

after you reach Linchuan,

you shall not forget your responsibility

as the Princess of Yongzhao.

Granny Chun,

thank you.

Your Highness, please.

I

bid farewell to you, my mother.

Hua'e, take good care of the Princess.

Yes,

Your Highness.

It was the first time I had left Yongzhao

and the first time I had come to Linchuan.

I met him for the first time.

The legendary

and mysterious Linchuan

has the purity

and cleanness that I was fascinated by.

But I was

the drop of poison,

because I'm the Princess of Yongzhao

who was forced by my brother

to marry to Linchuan

for a mission that I must fulfil.

Your Highness,

according to Linchuan's wedding customs,

our Young Master will wait for you under the Twinned Tree.

I'll take you there later.

Thank you, Granny Chun.

The Princess of Yongzhao is beautiful.

Of course.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have

had the chance to marry the Young Master.

She's beautiful

and a perfect match for the Young Master.

The wedding ceremony of the Young Master and Young Madam of Linchuan

begins.

Please get closer to the Young Master, Your Highness.

Hair-binding rite.

Hair-binding rite.

Take a strand of the Young Master's hair

and a strand of the Young Madam's hair.

Tie the two strands of hair with a red thread

and then add some flowers

that signify pure love.

May Young Master and Young Madam

everlasting love

and happiness.

Twin the branches!

Twin the branches!

Mix the blood taken

from the Young Master's and the Young Madam's fingers.

Take two branches of the Twinned Tree

as mediums.

Make a promise to protect each other with your life.

May Young Master and Young Madam

love each other

and be together forever.

The wedding ceremony is over.

Well,

what is twinning the branches?

It is

the most important rite

in the wedding ceremony

of the King of Linchuan.

It is to take

the branches of the Twinned Tree

and let them absorb our blood to make us connected.

Why?

My ancestor regretted

that he failed to save his wife.

No matter how deep their love was,

they couldn't do anything about death.

If the branches make us connected by absorbing our blood,

we can have a chance to save our spouse

with our life.

I see.

People of the Linchuan tribe have not married foreigners

for over a hundred years.

Over 20 years ago,

there was a flood in Linchuan.

My father asked all the tribes in the eastern continent

for supplies.

It was your father who helped us.

My father and your father

then decided on our marriage.

I know you didn't

want to marry me.

But I hope

you can enjoy your life in Linchuan.

Twinning the branches is a matter of life and death.

I don't want to force it on you.

But this branch now belongs to you.

Just keep it.

You must be tired.

It's time to rest.

Rest?

Tonight...

What are you doing?

Before I came here,

mammies

taught me how to have a wedding night.

I...

I'm sorry. I...

Your Highness,

we don't have to sleep together.

I'll sleep here.

Actually,

we've met before.

But you probably don't remember me.

I met you

when I visited Yongzhao for the first time.

Thank you, doctor.

Are you a foreigner?

Are you not feeling well?

I'm new here.

I'm not acclimatized.

Let me check your pulse first.

Are you here for medicine, too?

Let's go.

[Zhizi Clinic]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

What's wrong with that kid?

Excuse me.

[Zhizi Clinic]

We bumped into this kid on the way.

Alright.

Don't cry.

Look.

The bird I folded

can fly.

Look.

Come with me to the room.

Okay.

Come on.

Your Highness.

[Zhizi Clinic]

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Stop calling.

Your Highness,

what happened to your hands?

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

It's getting late.

Let's go back.

[Zhizi Clinic]

Since then,

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Now,

you finally came to me.

I wonder

whether General Wu Jiu has received my letter.

If he received it,

he should be able to rush back to the palace on time.

Your Highness, you're in such a good mood.

Have you forgotten

what you are here for?

I have my own plan.

I don't need you to remind me.

Your plan is

to ask General Wu Jiu

for help, right?

[To General Wu Jiu]

Are you curious

why do I have the letter

you sent to General Wu Jiu?

I have bad news for you.

This letter

didn't even make it out

the palace.

The hands of the maid who helped you send the letter

were chopped off.

How could you be so vicious?

Your Highness, don't be afraid.

I'm just here to remind you

that whether your mother

can enjoy her remaining years in the palace

depends on you.

Yuan.

Your Majesty.

As you would have seen on your way in,

the entrance to Linchuan is hidden.

Foreigners

can only enter here

with the guidance of the Linchuan people.

Even if I can kill Helian Xi,

Feng Yin may not have the capacity

to take over Linchuan.

Where did Young Master go

early in the morning?

Wu Qing, calm down.

Young Master must have something important to do.

Look,

Young master is back.

Young Master,

why are there so many flowers?

Let me help you.

No need.

Yin Qiao,

is the food ready?

Yes.

Put it in the room.

I will have breakfast together with Young Madam.

Yes.

His Highness will have his own plans on

how he will take down Lichuan.

You will do us a favour

if you can kill your husband,

the Young Master of Linchuan.

You're awake.

Your Highness, Young Master is here.

I'll leave now.

Young Master.

These are for you.

For me?

You seem to like flowers.

So I prepared some.

Thank you.

Last night,

I saw that flower

lying on the table alone,

so I...

You look a little haggard.

I'm fine.

Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well

since I just came here.

Young Master, Young Madam,

it's time for breakfast.

I heard

people here like raw food.

Why is all this cooked?

I saw you didn't have a bite

at the wedding banquet yesterday,

I remember that the Yongzhao people love cooked food.

I don't know

what you like to eat,

so I prepared various dishes for you.

Thank you, Young Master.

Drink something.

What is this?

Blood wine?

Blood wine?

It's neither blood nor wine.

It's pomegranate juice.

Pomegranate juice?

What is pomegranate?

There are no pomegranates in Yongzhao.

Pomegranate is

a kind of fruit.

Try it.

How is it?

It's sweet.

Sweet?

I want to know

what sweet tastes like.

Don't you know

what sweet is?

I have no sense of taste since I was born.

But it's good that I don't have taste

because I won't be controlled by my appetite.

Young Master,

Granny Chun asked you to take the Young Madam

to the Divine Tree.

Okay.

We

will go after breakfast.

Okay.
