[The Substitute Princess's Love]

[Episode 20]

Your Highness,

I've been hiding something from you for a long time.

I'm guilty and I deserve to die.

But after thinking about it,

whether you blame me or not,

I'm gonna tell you the truth.

What happened?

What are you doing?

Your Highness,

I did lie to you today.

I didn't come with the marriage alliance team,

I was abducted and taken here by someone from Nanzhu Pavilion.

I only found out about the marriage alliance thing

after arriving here.

They forced me

to be their spy in the mansion.

I refused,

so they humiliated me.

After I entered the mansion,

they were still looking for me

and forcing me.

You are from Liang State.

Why wouldn't you obey them?

In Liang State,

I was a princess who was not favored.

I was born a pawn who had no choice.

Since I was engaged to you,

I would become a member in Prince Jin's Mansion.

I didn't want to betray my future husband.

And I didn't want to ruin

the hard-won peace between the two states.

What did Nanzhu Pavilion threaten you to do?

They asked me

to report the situation in the mansion to them,

so that they can find a chance to assassinate you.

Do you know

where they are hiding?

I don't know much.

I only know that the leader of Nanzhu Pavilion

lives in Huaifeng Pavilion.

There is a tavern in the east of the city.

It's where they usually deliver secret letters.

Back then,

I was locked up in this tavern.

It must have been hard for you.

You're in a dilemma between your mother country and Prince Jin's Mansion.

Don't worry.

I hate to see women used as pawns.

As long as you behave yourself,

Prince Jin's Mansion will protect you

and give you a place to stay.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Go back.

I'll take care of Nanzhu Pavilion's things.

Your Highness,

I'm scared.

Nan Bo.

Your Highness.

Take the princess back to her bedroom.

Yes.

Your Highness.

But...

Nan Bo is not an imperial kinsman.

It doesn't matter.

There are not many rules in the mansion.

Princess,

please.

Okay.

[Jishi Clinic]

Commandant Zhou.

Let's go.

Yes.

Tao.

Steward Yi.

This is...

She's a female tailor from the tailor shop in the city.

Her Highness has been gaining weight recently.

Her previous clothes are not suitable.

His Highness doesn't allow her to go out.

So I asked a tailor to measure her size

and make some suitable spring clothes.

Well.

I was too careless.

Tao is so thoughtful.

Then

take her in.

Yes.

Doctor, this way please.

I'm sorry

that you have to come in like this.

Don't tell anyone about this.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Miss Tao has told me everything.

I won't say a word.

Your Highness,

have you felt unwell recently?

I've always felt sleepy.

Sometimes, I have a good appetite.

Sometimes, I have a bad appetite.

Nothing else.

Right.

When I slept at night,

I always felt my body is heavy.

Your Highness, you are pregnant.

You're in the first 3 months of pregnancy.

Your pulse is unstable, so you need to be careful.

I'm pregnant?

Judging from your pulse condition, yes.

I'm pregnant.

How is that possible?

Why now?

Your Highness,

the fetus is the most unstable in the first 3 months of pregnancy.

You must stay calm.

Don't get too excited.

Otherwise, no matter how good the medicine is, it won't help.

Thank you, Doctor.

Tao,

walk her out first.

Yes.

This way.

Your Highness,

you and His Highness have a child.

But why didn't he tell me?

They checked my pulse during the first month of the lunar year.

I think he already knew at that time.

But why did he marry someone else

and ground me in Xingyue Pavilion?

Is it because

he doesn't want this child at all?

Then...

could the medicine you take every day

be...

No.

Even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs.

His Highness is not this kind of person.

I'm fine now, right?

There must be nothing wrong with the medicine.

But...

why is His Highness unhappy?

And he's been hiding it from you.

I don't understand either.

Even if he doesn't love me anymore,

we are still a couple.

I want to protect my child.

But what on earth is he thinking?

Your Highness,

when His Highness comes back,

let's go to him.

Huaifeng Pavilion has many exits.

There are different types of people.

When we go to arrest him,

you have to guard all the exits.

Yes.

[Huaifeng Pavilion]

Tang Ti.

Tang Ti, go now.

What happened?

Wen Ye has known you are hiding here.

He has sent men to arrest you.

What about you?

Did you get hurt?

I'm fine.

I'm still a princess of Liang State.

They won't let me die here.

Leave now!

Your Highness, bad news.

The princess is in Huaifeng Pavilion.

The princess?

The princess from Liang State.

She was kidnapped by someone from Nanzhu Pavilion

when she went out today.

Let's go.

You know clearly what you'll face if you stay.

You may be able to hide it from him now.

But you can't hide it from him forever.

Go with me.

I'll fight our way out.

I won't go.

I can't just give up.

You betrayed Nanzhu Pavilion,

in order to gain Wen Ye's trust.

Right?

You're in love with him,

right?

Nonsense!

If you kill him,

you will lose the one you love.

If you don't kill him,

you can't complete the task

and can't regain your freedom.

You...

Zuo Shuangzhi,

I know you better than you think.

But you...

Stop!

Or I'll kill your princess.

Tang Ti,

if you let me go,

I promise you can leave safely.

Shut up!

Prepare a horse.

Okay.

We'll get the horse ready.

Don't hurt her.

Get out of my way!

Get out of my way!

Princess,

this is all I can do for you.

Live well.

Tang Ti.

Don't look back.

[Prince Jin's Mansion]

[Noble Quality and Elegant Temperament]

Your Highness,

Princess just has some scratches.

Nothing serious.

I'll prescribe some medicine

for her to build up her health for a few days.

Thank you for today, Your Highness.

If you hadn't saved me...

No need to thank me.

This happened to you because of me.

I got you into trouble.

Rest and build up your health.

By the way,

is this yours?

A guard found it in Huaifeng Pavilion.

It's mine.

Don't worry.

No one will threaten you anymore.

Your Highness.

Can you

stay and accompany me today?

I have something about Nanzhu Pavilion to do.

These days,

I won't be in the mansion.

I'll give you

whatever you want as a reward.

Your Highness,

I don't need any rewards.

I just need a place to stay

in the mansion.

Your Highness,

I'm on your side.

From now on in the mansion,

I will treat you as a princess.

You are free.

You can do

whatever you want.

Your Highness.

Since I'm married to you,

I'm no longer a princess.

Why won't you admit that I'm your wife?

I only have

one wife.

Your Highness!

I only have

♫I took off the winding light sent by the moon♫

one wife.

♫I cut the hidden line at the center of the palm silently♫

You're in a good mood.

♫Among the clouds and in the sky♫

You bought a pendant.

I'm giving it to you.

♫My missing of you is hidden secretly♫

♫Only a light of our predestined love is left there, and it's flickering♫

♫I vaguely remember that in our previous life, we passed by each other♫

Princess,

this is all I can do for you.

♫But it's a vow that we can't fulfill in this life♫

Live well.

Tang Ti.

Don't look back.

♫We failed to meet again♫

♫This love has lasted for several rounds of reincarnation♫

Tang Ti.

♫The mystery of love can't be solved, but I'm still indulged in it♫

In order to gain his trust,

I betrayed Nanzhu Pavilion.

♫Who is destined to♫

Are you a fool

♫Lose his chance and face the chaotic situation?♫

or am I a fool?

♫The memories of happiness and sorrow♫

♫Are engraved in my heart, and have become my nightmares♫

You sacrificed your life

to help me.

♫Who stood opposite the destiny♫

But I still can't let him

stay, even just for one second.

♫I'm not able to escape from♫

♫The parting where prosperity has withered♫

Your Highness,

His Highness left in a hurry again.

It looks like

something important happened outside.

We can only wait for His Highness to come back again.

I don't know how long I have to wait.

I have to protect this child.

[Xingyue Pavilion]

Your Highness,

it's time for you to drink your medicine.

Uncle Fu,

what is the medicine I drink

every day?

It's...

It's the medicine for building up your health.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

This medicine is not harmful to your health.

Drink it now.

The medicine is very bitter when it's cold.

Uncle Fu,

tell me.

Am I just sick?

Well...

I...

Forget it, Uncle Fu.

I won't make things difficult for you.

I know you are just obeying

His Highness's order.

Even though His Highness has no feelings for me now,

for the sake of our love in the past,

he should be honest with me.

I will tell His Highness

what you said.

The medicine is very bitter.

Your Highness,

have some preserved fruits.

Thank you, Uncle Fu.

Your Highness, what's wrong?

It hurts.

Your Highness, take a seat.

It hurts.

It hurts.

Steward Yi,

what on earth did you give her?

I...

I... I didn't...

Go get a doctor now.

Hurry!

Your Highness, hang in there.

I'm gonna send someone to find an imperial physician and His Highness.

Princess.

Steward Yi,

where are you going

in such a hurry?

I'm going to get an imperial physician.

Her Highness

is not feeling well now.

Why do you want to get an imperial physician?

Have you

forgotten

the empress dowager's order?

How do you know?

You poisoned her.

You couldn't do it,

so I helped you.

In this way, you can report to the empress dowager,

right?

Princess,

that's the child of His Highness.

How could you do that?

If His Highness knows about this,

how can you

keep staying in the mansion in the future?

As long as you don't tell him,

how would His Highness know?

You...

How could you be so vicious?

Get out of my way.

I'm going to get an imperial physician.

Are you determined

to betray the empress dowager?

Just for Shen Keyi and her baby?

Do you know what consequence there will be?

Princess,

I'm begging you.

Please let me go get an imperial physician.

If it's not too late,

the child might be saved.

If it's too late...

Why?

Why would everyone protect her?

I can give birth to a child for His Highness.

Why must it be her?

My life is worthless.

Even if I have to die today,

I will protect Her Highness

and the baby in her womb.

Really?

His Highness has Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu is his family.

You've been protecting him all these years.

Uncle Fu,

this is not easy.

From now on, you'll take care of everything

related to Xingyue Pavilion.

All these years,

the scenery here hasn't changed a bit.

But it's the place I want to guard the most

in my life.

If there is a baby,

it wouldn't be so empty

or cheerless, right?

Is it better for the child to resemble His Highness

or Her Highness?

Maybe it's better

for the child to resemble Her Highness.

Your Highness, you're bleeding.

Tao.

Go see

if the imperial physician is here.

What about you?

I can do this.

Go now.

Okay.

Hang in there.

Keyi,

are you alright?

Steward Yi

may not come.

Without His Highness's permission,

why did Steward Yi have the guts...

You are lying.

No matter what,

His Highness would never do anything like this.

What medicine do you think you've been drinking

these days?

His Highness doesn't want this child at all.

That's why he's been hiding it from you

and giving you abortion medicine every day.

Nonsense!

I'm with His Highness every day.

We are very intimate.

I'm the one who knows him the best in this world.

I know what he thinks.

Why would I talk nonsense?

Keyi,

I forgot to tell you.

Actually,

I've known His Highness since I was little.

I was rebellious.

I even left a scar

on his palm.

A long time ago,

a little girl was going to be bullied.

I wanted to save her,

but I didn't expect her to scratch me.

Didn't she say she would give herself to you and marry no one else but you?

It was you.

Since then,

we've been in love with each other.

His Highness

gave me a dagger

as a token,

hoping we could meet again.

But I didn't expect

that you played a trick to marry into Prince Jin's Mansion and steal my lover.

Shen Keyi.

You are the fifth wheel.

These days, His Highness

has tolerated you and deliberately kept a distance from you.

He doesn't even want to acknowledge your child.

You wouldn't leave Prince Jin's Mansion.

That's why things have come to this.

I can leave.

I can leave now.

But please save my child.

I promise I'll take the baby far away

and never show up in front of you.

Save him.

You just had a miscarriage.

You should take good care of yourself.

Don't move anymore.

Let me go to the doctor.

Please.

Run.

I'd like to see in the mansion,

♫I'm not able to escape from♫

♫The parting where prosperity has withered♫

who else will come to save you.

Your Highness,

his name is Tang Ti.

He should be the leader of Nanzhu Pavilion.

This is the man who sold fishes at the fish stall in the west market, right?

Yes.

There is something fishy.

I've fought with the leader of Nanzhu Pavilion many times.

This person

doesn't look like him.

Sir,

do you mean the leader is someone else?

Anyway, we can't let our guard down.

Nanzhu Pavilion's people are very cunning.

Send more men

to patrol the capital.

If you find anyone suspicious,

report immediately.

Yes.

Report!

Your Highness,

Steward Yi asked someone to deliver a message.

You should go home as soon as possible.

Please.

Let me go to the doctor.

The child is innocent.

Innocent?

Both you and I were born

with the sin of our parents.

No one is innocent.

Without you,

he would definitely have feelings for me.

Today...

Ke.

Ke.

Ke.

How are you feeling?

I'm gonna take you to the doctor.

Let's go.

Who are you?

You can't take her away.

Get out of my way!

There are so many people who want to save you.

Just go.

Never come back.

Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou.

The doctor is here. This way.
