ADAPTED FROM MO SHUBAI'S NOVEL,
THE GRAND PRINCESS ON JJWXC.NET

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

The Crown Prince got injured
when he tries to save you.

Just treat it
as a normal conversation later.

Just calm down.

He got injured trying to save me?

Is Rong here?

Hurry. Tell Rong to come in.

Pei Wenxuan.

Your Highnesses.

His Highness got a sword wound.

Her Highness
will be worried if she sees it.

Set up a screen.

Yes.

Try to stay calm.

Let's go in.

Your Highness.

There are paths you need to walk alone.

I'll be waiting outside.

Your Highness.

You have a lot to talk about.

I leave you two alone.

It's all right.

I'll be outside.

Rong.

I want to be rebellious again.

I had a dream.

In that dream,
Zhenzhen is waiting for me in Heaven.

I need to go and find her.

I am friends with an immortal cultivator,

he can assist me in my cultivation
and help me go to Heaven soon.

Are you willing
to help me to rule the state?

Did you just say

you want me to rule the state?

Yes.

I am entrusting this task to you.

Are you all right, Rong?

Do you have any injuries?

No, I'm fine.

Me too.

Just some minor injuries.

I'll be all right soon.

How did you get hurt?

I'm worried that you might be in danger,

so I followed you into the woods.

I didn't do it harshly.

I'm aware of it.

Rong, what brings you here today?

Nothing particular.

It's just…

I had a nightmare.

That's why I came here to see you.

I'm glad that you're fine.

What did you dream about, Rong?

I dreamed…

I dreamed that you killed me.

Rong, how's that possible?

No matter what happens,

I'll never hurt you.

If anyone tries to do that,

they must kill me first.

I know.

You said you'd protect me
since we were young.

I remember that year

when that princess was sent
to the North for a marriage alliance,

I'm so scared.

Scared that when I grow up,

I'd be sent away too.

You told me…

You said…

Rong,

don't worry.

When I grow up,

I'll drive the enemies

all the way
to the coldest place of far North.

I'll never allow a marriage alliance

to happen to you.

Why are you bringing up those memories?

Am I being bad to you now?

It's not that.

It's just that

you got injured from saving me,

and it reminds me
of how kind you were to me

when we were young.

Were you bad to me?

You have been good to me too.

Do you remember

the time when Yuanbao
and I shared peaches?

Mother caught us

and grounded me.

You're the Crown Prince.

You should know the difference
between rank and status.

You're the upper hand
and others are below you.

You must never
share your food with servants.

Do you understand?

I can't finish it by myself.

Why can't I share it with others?

Didn't Father teach me to be thrifty?

You still need to learn a lot.

When you do,

I'll let you out.

Mother, open the door!

Mother, open the door!

Chuan.

Chuan.

Chuan, it's me.

Is that you, Rong?

Rong, it's dark in here.

Chuan, don't be scared.

I'll be outside and stay with you.

If you're scared,

eat that candy that I gave you.

And you won't be scared again.

How is it?

It's so sweet.

Thank you, Rong.

I was grounded for three days

and you stayed with me for three days too.

Also,

I kept a big cat in the palace back then.

That cat was so clever.

It didn't like anyone else but me.

I always sneaked out to feed it,

but in the end, I was caught.

Go and bury this animal alive.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Mother, you can't do this

bury me too if you will.

The more you protect it,
the sooner it will die.

Remember.

As the Crown Prince,

you can't favor anything.

You must not let others know
what you like.

Moreover, it's just a stray cat.

What are you waiting for?

Go and bury it.

Yes, Your Majesty.

No.

I can't even like anything.

What's the point
of being the Crown Prince?

What did you say?

You…

Rong, get up.

If you don't move,

I'll beat you too!

Chuan.

Mother, don't hit Rong.

I don't want that cat anymore.

The cat was still buried alive.

Because…

I didn't want you
to be beaten anymore because of me.

You came all the way here.

What do you want to ask me?

Have you thought about the future?

What kind…

What kind of emperor
will you become in the future?

I don't know.

Since I was little,
people always asked me about the future.

But I can't foresee it.

Rong.

To be honest,

I'm not fit to become an emperor.

I don't want to become one either.

I can only say that in this position,

I'll do my best.

I want to be a good son and a good brother

to protect you and Mother.

And,

I want to be a good person,

doing everything I can to ensure
that everyone in the Great Xia

is well-fed, clothed,
and free from the war's destructions.

If there's anything I want to do,

I want to explore the North.

Explore the North?

Rong, you have no idea.

Last year, I went there.

It was the first time I really saw it.

It's completely different
from reading war reports in Huajing.

When…

When I closed my eyes,

I could hear

the helpless screams
and cries of the people.

Whenever they saw me,
knowing that I'm the Crown Prince,

they would kneel and beg

to send troops to pacify the North.

That's a good ambition.

But what if it's destined

that one day,

you'll become an emperor like Father?

No.

You'll surpass him.

However,

you'll be as suspicious
and indifferent as he is.

You will kill many people,

sinking this world into a disaster.

You'll also succeed
in the northern expedition

and break free from the noble families.

You will arrest Mother,

kill Uncle Xu,

execute your clansmen,

and then, poison me to death.

You'll lose your beloved,
but you'll also become the supreme ruler.

If that day comes,

what should I do?

Rong,

are you saying

that I will kill you?

I suppose.

Rong.

But that was just a dream.

Is it really just a dream?

It can also be…

The future.

My dreams

seem to be in line with reality.

Every dream I've had before

has come true.

In that dream,

you killed me.

Should I make you pay for it?

If that's the future

waiting for all of us,

then please kill me now.

Do you think I'm afraid to kill you?

It's not you're afraid.

But if you're going to kill me,

I won't regret nothing.

If I am truly destined for such a path

just like you said,

I would rather end my life now.

I consider it a proper ending for me.

Forgive me.

I am the reason
why Li Chuan died in that dream.

Cui Qinghe killed Qin Lin,

but I kept Xun Chuan in the Northwest.

The situation there is uncertain,
so just forget about it.

Li Cheng is dead.

They found him a replacement

to deceive Father
and help him ascend the throne.

Su Rongqi secretly joined
with other noble families.

Outside Huajing,

the Su Family's soldiers at the
nearest pass will arrive at midnight.

Father will retain you as Crown Prince
when me and Shangguan Family are gone.

It depends on you
whether to accept it or not.

All the forces at the Inspectorate Office
and Qingzhou are yours.

I'll go back to Qingzhou.

In this life,

I won't return to Huajing.

Rong.

I let you go.

If you stay alive,

I ask you

to save me in the future.

Don't let this dream

become a reality.

Rong.

Why can't you

trust me?

It's not that I don't trust you.

I just have little faith in humanity.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Cheng.

Cheng.

Are you feeling better?

Father, please don't kill me.

I'll be a good boy.

Cheng.

From now on,

I'll grant you everything

that I promised you.

All you need to do
is focus on your recovery.

Your Majesty,
Cheng hasn't fully recovered yet.

If you take good care of Cheng,

you'll live.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I want to return to Qingzhou.

Okay.

You can stay in Huajing.

I know

you keep thinking him as an ideal ruler.

If you assist him,

I will be at peace while you're here.

That won't do.

Pei Wenxuan,

I don't want you
to sacrifice your future for me.

I will do this for you,

my wife.

Of course, I will do this.

for our child too.

What are you doing?

-Let's go back and celebrate.
-No. Put me down.

Stay still.

Our child will be hurt.

You did good earlier.

Especially when you feared him

and made him feel guilty.

Remember.

I'm your mother.

You're my son, Cheng.

From now on,

you'll receive endless glory and wealth.

Did you do something wrong?

What did I do?

I just wish

that you wouldn't let me

or our child affect your decisions

at the most crucial moment of your life.

You should know

what you truly want now.

All your life, you've been stubborn.

It's time to stop.

Aren't you stubborn too?

When did you make peace with yourself?

Well,

I stopped being stubborn

when I confessed to you

and decided to take you back

from someone else.

What do you see in me?

I can go all night.

Don't stand here. Sit down.

For example?

You're like a mirror.

You help me see myself clearly.

You say you only care for power,

and yet you always
treat Li Chuan as a brother,

and Shangguan Ya as a friend.

You even trust Su Rongqing.

You're loyal to the ruler
and your friends.

In the palace,

you always practice

the way of a noble person.

Actually,

you're doing a tougher job than I am.

I'm just following you,

but you walk forward alone.

My perseverance exists because of you,

while your perseverance
is to pursue your heart.

Your mind has unwavering
clarity for 20 years,

and you can be
the best monarch in my heart.

If you put it that way,

I will fight for the throne

if I were a prince.

If you're a prince

and I weren't a girl,
that will be a problem.

It's really hard to imagine

what you would be like if you were a girl.

Little girl.

Who is a little girl? I'm not a girl.

Your Majesty.

His Majesty said

he would grant whatever Prince Su wanted.

What a paternal bond.

Send a message to Pingyue and Chuan.

We have to move.

Everyone,

did you know

how our unit was founded?

You know

that Xiao Su has no place for us

as well as the noble families.

It's the Crown Prince

and Princess Pingyue who secretly funded

and built this for the past years.

Now,

they are in trouble in Huajing.

We can't be ungrateful.

We are the army of righteousness.

What they seek

is the welfare of commoners like us.

Most of them

are your siblings,

your parents, wives, and children.

Protecting them

is just like protecting our families!

Your Majesty.

Why aren't you taking care of Cheng?

What are you doing here?

Your Majesty.

Cheng barely survived death

and now he's finally recovering.

We cannot ignore
Li Chuan's rebellious intentions.

After this incident,

I just want Cheng to be safe.

I'm asking you to send someone
to escort us back to the Northwest.

We don't want anything.

We just want to stay alive.

I have plans for Cheng's future.

You must go back

and stay beside him.

I promise him

that I will explain everything.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Fulai.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Send this message to the Crown Prince.

Tell him to meet me tonight at 7 p.m.

I'm giving him a last chance to choose.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You should take your time
going to Qingzhou.

If the road is too rough,

find a small town to rest.

-Don't push yourself too hard.
-I know.

I'll join you after handling
the Crown Prince's affairs

and ensuring everything goes well.

Since when have you become so talkative?

I will become a mother soon.

I'll be careful.

Just take it if you're hesitant.

It might be helpful later.

The journey is long

and I'm afraid that it will be damaged.

I'll leave it here.

Right.

You will be back here too.

Take some personal items with you.

I'm not coming back to here
after going to Qingzhou.

You know me.

If I stay in Huajing,

I'm going to meddle.

Over time,

it will still cause trouble.

I'll bring it to you

and pack myself along too.

He's not logical at all.

His Majesty plans to summon
the Crown Prince to the palace.

You must inform Chuan
and Shangguan Ya immediately.

Then,

I need to leave the city now.

"Tonight at 7 p.m.,

I'll take action in the palace.

If we get the support of the Su Family,

the Su and Li Family
will rule the world together."

Consort Rou is fearless.

Prince Su is alive and doing fine.

Why is she looking for trouble again?

What about the others?

What are their answers?

Consort Rou promised
high benefits to several families.

Princess Pingyue is now
the Supervisor of the Inspectorate Office,

but she hasn't freed those prisoners.

In the military drill ground,

the Crown Prince showed
great concern for Princess Pingyue,

which disappoints
most of the noble families.

Because of your swaying earlier

and Consort Rou's willingness
to spare no expense,

an agreement among various families

is asking you to lead
and oversee these matters.

Those clever bastards.

Your Highness, Ms. Shangguan is here.

Your Highness.

Pack this too.

Are you leaving just like this?

We agree to overthrow
the Crown Prince together, right?

I've heard

that you're pregnant.

I just found out.

-They say pregnant women are fiery.
-Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said all those things.

Please forgive me.

There was someone

whom I had grudges with.

We were friends before,

but she betrayed me because of power.

So the thought of you and Su Ronghua

triggered me

and I lashed out at you.

I thought about what you said
when I go back.

It might not be intentional,

but my actions were really inappropriate.

I came to ask you something.

Do you really think that's wrong

that I give up on Su Ronghua?

Do you remember

why you gave up
on being the Crown Princess

and joined the Inspectorate Office?

Because you told me
that being a young lady from noble family,

the most important thing
is to wield power in my hands.

It's just a man--

And you're afraid
of being with a man you like?

What I mean is…

I used to think

that love is

the most worthless thing in the world.

But now, I feel like

it's the most basic choice for a person.

It's inhumane to live in a world
where one can't even choose

to be with someone they like.

Your Highness,

you always talk to me about conflict.

I've influenced you in a bad way.

Isn't that good?

At least, the present you

won't offer me a poisoned drink.

You sounded like
I've actually poisoned you before.

That's enough.

It's getting late.

You're pregnant.

With your situation now,
you shouldn't be staying in Huajing.

Get ready quickly.

I'm leaving.

Go.

Your Highness, Xun Chuan sent me a letter.

She would be home soon.

I'll wait for your return here.

When that time comes,

the three of us will drink together again.

Sure.

Sir.

The matter
has been thoroughly investigated.

Our informant sent a message.

PEI LIXIAN IS THE MASTERMIND
BEHIND YOUR FATHER'S DEATH

I didn't expect Uncle Lixian

to be so evil.

Count our men.

Notify all the uncles and cousins.

Tell them

that I need to get

the patriarch token

at today's family assembly.

Yes, sir.

It's time to settle everything.

Your Highness.

Xun Chuan has brought
10,000 soldiers and horses.

She's on her way now.

She sent someone to tell you

that your mission

is successful.

I really didn't expect

that Xun Chuan could achieve this.

I don't know why,

but I'm impressed.

Don't be too impressed yet.

I'll count the troops first.

The Crown Prince
needs to be in the palace.

The Shangguan Family
will attack the palace.

My family and the Inspectorate Office
will block reinforcements outside.

I won't…

see you off.

It's fine.

I can go by myself.

Your Highness.

If I die

in the palace today,

what will you do?

If you die in Huajing,

I'll call on the troops

and destroy them.

Do you understand, Mr. Pei?

Your Highness, I'm so happy

to hear that.

I love you more than my life.

Wait for me.

I'll light up the city,

decorate it with passionate shades of red,

and marry you again

with a grand procession.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

I have to go.

Go.

KIND

Father.

Do you have any idea
why I called you here?

Yes.

Ronghua told me
about everything that you're doing.

You have always been

a logical child in the past.

I just can't understand

why you're not even as logical as Ronghua.

I entrusted the entire Su Family to you

because you've always been wise

However, you…

As the eldest legitimate son
of the Emperor,

the Crown Prince is the rightful heir
by seniority and legitimacy.

His attitude and behavior are impeccable.

What is Consort Rou's background

and what kind of attitude
does Prince Su have?

What are you even doing?

Before,

I already sensed something unusual
from the argument between you

and Pei Wenxuan in the court.

However, at the time,

I thought you were
just young and impulsive.

I'm aware of your feelings
for Her Highness,

but she's married now.

What can you do?

Father.

You spent three years in the academy

and took part in exams annually.

Whenever Her Highness was there,

you would always try to stand out.

Whenever you're in the palace,

you would dress up.

I've seen all of it.

Rongqing.

I'm your father.

A father knows his child very well.

But you and Her Highness
are not meant to be with each other.

Before, I thought

you wouldn't do anything drastic,

so I didn't intervene.

What…

What has gotten into you?

I really can't understand you now.

I've failed…

Your teaching.

I just thought

Li Chuan

will not be a good emperor.

And Prince Su will?

Is there a perfect monarch in this world?

A monarch is the pillar of the state.

It's not about strength,
it's about stability.

He doesn't even have stability.

Everything Her Highness does

is at the Crown Prince's instructions.

A monarch should provide stability
and the people should have talents.

Prince Su may not be a man of character

and his background is questionable,

but he won't cause destruction.

What about the Crown Prince?

Even before ascending,

he already caused chaos in the court.

Father,

if he ascends,

who can keep track of him?

This isn't something
you should worry about.

If I don't,

the Su Family

will face calamity.

All of this is nothing
but your speculation.

Father.

I want to help Li Cheng ascend the throne.

What did you say?

I will be asking for your opinion.

Impossible!

Don't even think about it!

Get out! Now!

Go and take your punishment.

The Su Family is respectable.

How can we support someone like Prince Su?
