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

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

Go to a safe place to rest first.

I need to look for Su Rongqing.

I don't want
to be separated from you again.

I won't leave again.

Rong.

Your Highness.

Are you all right?

How are you doing?

I'm fine, Your Highness.

What about Qin Lin?

We've just received news

that General Qin
has successfully killed Xiao Su.

He's now taking over his troops

and on his way back to Huajing.

Before setting off,

General Qin ordered me
to come and save you.

Thank you.

Please don't say that.

HANQIU PALACE

Where is the jade seal? Where is it?

Tell me!

Aren't you going to pass
the throne to Cheng?

Give me the jade seal!

After you take the seal,

what will you do?

I can give my throne away,

but you can't demand it

or deceive me.

To you,

we're just lowly and despicable creatures,

like a bunch of pets

that demand your love.

You despise the superiority
of the noble families,

but in your heart,

you're also attracted
to that sense of superiority.

Give me the seal!

You've been longing
for this sense of superiority

for years, haven't you?

Yes, I have been longing for it
for so many years,

even in my dreams.

Give me the seal!

-You wench.
-Give me!

You wish.

No.

Cheng will ascend the throne
and I'll be the Empress Dowager.

Huayue will be the Princess Royal.

The Xiao Family

will be the most powerful
noble family in this country.

Give me the seal! Give it to me!

Even if I give you the seal,

do you think you can bear
the weight of the entire country?

Are you able to take the responsibility?

You ignorant and foolish woman!

Where is the jade seal?

Where is it?

Tell me!

Inside a hidden compartment

behind the throne.

My jade seal and power

are yours now.

Finally.

LI CHENG WILL ASCEND THE THRONE

I'll go after him.

Put the dagger down.

Don't come near me.

Let us go

or I'll kill him.

Come any nearer and I'll kill him!

He's your father!

He's our father,

as well as Huayue and Li Cheng's father.

He's also your husband.

You're killing him
and you want us to let you go?

Put the dagger down.

I'll let you go.

I don't buy it.

Mother, please let Father go.

Shut up!

Get out if there's nothing else!

Rong.

I'm begging you.

Since we're both related by blood,

please let us go.

We've done many terrible things.

I swear

that if you let us go,

I'll be your most loyal

and obedient sister.

Rong.

Rong, it's our fault.

Rong, let us go.

Huayue, stand up!

Begging is the most useless thing to do!

Stand up now.

Stand up! Do you hear me?

Xiao Rou.

I know

you just want a way out.

You don't really intend to kill him.

You wouldn't kill
someone who truly loves you.

Right?

Wrong.

He has never loved me.

He has never thought
of building a pagoda for me

or shown me any respect.

He hits me and yells at me as he pleases.

All I am to him is a tool!

He uses me when he needs to

simply because of my lowly background.

I'm unlike your mother

who was born into a noble family,

carrying the blood
of the Shangguan Family.

That's why
she could never do anything wrong

and she would always be respected.

But why?

Why are you born superior

while I have to be insulted
since I was born?

Is this fair?

It's not.

That's why you should fight.

I sympathize with you,

but this is no reason
for you to commit evil

without thinking about the consequences.

Xiao Rou--

You sympathize with me?

Do I need others to sympathize with me?

Yes.

People like you

should sympathize with me.

Besides,

I should thank you for your sympathy!

Mother?

Mother.

Mother!

Father.

Get the Imperial Physician!

Hold this.

Be gentle.

Keep an eye on Father here.

I need to go find Pei Wenxuan.

This belonged to my brother.

Stay away from me.

WEIYANG PALACE

WEIYANG PALACE

You've always wanted
to kill me, haven't you?

Since the first time you held
the umbrella for Her Highness,

I've been wanting to kill you.

What a coincidence.

On the day the Princess got married,

I had the same thought.

That means

I should thank you
for sparing my life, shouldn't I?

Su Rongqing,
why bother putting up a struggle?

There's no escape now.

The fake Li Cheng is useless.

Her Highness has made her mind up.

A posthumous decree
isn't going to make her give up.

Su Rongqing.

You could have chosen other paths,

yet you refuse to do so.

Since you had traveled back in time,

you could have proposed to her,

but you didn't.

You could have put the past behind you

and assisted Li Chuan together with her,

but you refused to do so.

You knew that
the noble families were in the wrong

and that you could have
mended Li Chuan's ways,

but you were unwilling to do so.

In the end, you're left with nothing,

but you still insist
that you have no choice.

Su Rongqing.

Don't you find that ridiculous?

Ridiculous?

But I'm the young master of the Su Family.

How could I abandon my family?

I've already lost Her Highness.

I've already lost everything.

I colluded with the noble families
and put my life on the line.

Now, you're telling me

that I am wrong?

What about everything I had lost?

Did I lose them for nothing?

I could have proposed to Her Highness

like my brother

who begged my father willfully

to allow him to marry the girl he loved,

but I didn't.

In the past,

I looked on as she married you.

On the day she got married,

I ran after the carriage

all the way to Princess' Mansion.

This time,

I was your groomsman.

I'll deal with you later.

I handed her to you

because I've chosen this path.

I've lost the most precious thing to me.

I can't be wrong.

I can't be wrong!

Su Rongqing, remember this.

You didn't give up on Her Highness.

I fought for her.

Whether you fight for her or not,

Her Highness is mine.

Remember this.

Just admit your mistakes.

She loves me,

so you should scram.

Whether you're dead or alive,

don't even think
of getting near to Her Highness.

Your Highness.

We have Su Rongqing's men under control.

Where are they now?

I still lost after all.

Su Rongqing, why didn't you dodge?

I'm fine.

I'll wait for you outside.

You're here, Your Highness.

I'm glad.

Everything…

has come to an end.

Your Highness.

Must you reform the system?

I must.

I hope I don't have to use
high-sounding words

to conceal
the country's social disparities.

The noble families
and the commoners should be the same.

When such discrimination no longer exists,

the world

will finally be at peace.

I didn't know

you had such fantasies.

When will that day ever come though?

Your Highness.

I've never wanted to harm you.

I've always hoped for the best for you.

Even if you married Pei Wenxuan,

I still wish the best for you.

This time,

I didn't propose to you

not because I was a coward,

but because I knew

you liked him.

I also know

that I had harmed you

and that

you would never forgive me

for trying to kill Li Chuan.

I stopped you
from establishing the Inspectorate Office

because the noble families
were too strong.

I didn't want to see you being threatened.

I proposed to you at Beiyan Pagoda

because the noble families

tried to expel you from Huajing.

I thought Pei Wenxuan was dead

and you lost your bet
with the imperial court.

So the only way to protect you

was to appeal for you

in the name of my family.

I didn't mean to offend you

or take advantage of you.

I know.

This is yours.

You dropped this

when we met for the first time

when we were young.

I wanted to keep it to myself,

but I still felt

that I should return it to you.

I have always loved you.

When I was ten,

we first met in the Imperial Study

and I had already fallen in love with you.

Be it in my dreams and reality,

I've always loved only you.

Your Highness.

This time,

have you lived a good life?

I've had a great life this time.

That's wonderful.

Your Highness.

Are you…

Yes.

Rongqing,

I'm carrying a baby.

Well,

congratulations.

Your Highness, did you know

that it was once my greatest desire?

Sometimes, I thought

that if we could have

our own children,

that would be lovely.

Unfortunately,

I was castrated

in the past.

It was impossible for me to achieve that.

But the heavens took pity on me.

It gave me another chance to start over.

I cherished this opportunity

more than any of you did.

Sometimes, I wondered

that perhaps

I should hold on a little longer

and be more patient.

When everything settles,

I may just catch your attention.

The 17 years that we had spent together

motivated me to move forward this far.

Many times, I have wanted
to shirk my family responsibilities

just to have a family with you.

That would have been enough for me.

Unfortunately…

I no longer have this chance anymore.

Actually, it's all your choice.

We made one decision after another

based on our own will

and reached where we are now.

Rongqing.

My current life

is pretty good.

Since you're doing good,

then that would be

a relief for me.

I would like

to play

a final score for you.

Here are some medicines
that can save your life.

From now on, Su Rongqing is dead.

You won't have to suffer anymore.

You will no longer be
the son of the Su Family.

Get out there and be a normal person.

You've experienced
the vicissitudes of life,

so you should benefit the world
with your knowledge.

That's the only way
to atone for your mistakes.

I shall remember that.

He's playing

"A Happy Farewell."

Su Rongqing.

Your Highness.

Su Rongqing, stop this foolishness.

Rongrong.

Farewell.

-Your Highness!
-Get out of there, Su Rongqing!

-It's dangerous.
-You can start over.

Your Highness!

-Don't do this.
-Let's go.

Go.

Come on.

Su Rongqing!

Hurry.

Get another piece of clean cloth. Hurry.

Stop the bleeding.

Chuan.

Leave. Now.

-All of you, leave.
-Yes.

Chuan.

Chuan.

Remember.

Chuan.

Remember my words.

In the future,

don't be like me.

I was born with free will,

yet…

I couldn't live freely.

I'm…

sorry.

HANQIU PALACE

The Emperor has passed away!

Rongqing!

No!

Rongqing!

-Rongqing.
-You will die if you go inside.

Rongqing.

Rongqing.

Rongqing!

I planned to plead with His Majesty

and take our family back to our hometown

so I could keep you alive.

Why were you so foolish?

We can't save him anymore.

Anyone else

could give up on Rongqing,

except me.

BEIYAN PAGODA

BEIYAN PAGODA

Cheng.

Mother.

Father.

I'm all by myself now.

THREE YEARS LATER

Kneel!

His Majesty has issued an edict.

"I have decided to live in seclusion
in Shangqing Taoist Temple

and pay no attention
to all worldly affairs.

Therefore, I shall name
Princess Pingyue, Li Rong,

as the Regent Princess Royal,

who will govern the country
in full capacity as the monarch.

I shall also appoint

the Prince Consort, Pei Wenxuan,
as the Right Chancellor,

Shangguan Ya
as the adviser of the Chancellery,

and Cui Yulang as the Minister of Rites

to assist the Princess Royal
in governing the country.

During my seclusion,

I sincerely wish that all my officials
shall continue to serve the country

with utmost integrity."

Your Highness, please receive the edict.

Your Highness,

please get changed and sit on the throne.

Rong.

How is everything?

By the time you read this,

Zhenzhen and I will have left Huajing.

Thank you for restoring Zhenzhen's name.

Don't worry about us.

We'll take care of ourselves.

Also,

when Shangguan Ya
and Su Ronghua get married,

we'll be back to attend their wedding.

Being trapped inside the palace for life

was supposed to be my biggest nightmare.

Luckily, you got me out of my predicament.

You said you wanted power,

but I know

that power isn't the only thing you want.

You also hope that I can follow my heart

and lead a better life.

Despite receiving an education
as a future emperor,

I had no intention of becoming one.

Despite holding a sword,

I had no courage to wield it.

For the past 18 years,

I had never lived for myself.

My only concern now

is the North hasn't been pacified yet.

Therefore, I plan to travel north

and chart a proper map of the region
while documenting its cultural customs.

Should I return one day,

that would be the time
when we're ready to fight our enemies.

Today, I entrust the whole country to you.

I hope you will wield the sword

and govern the country.

I hope you won't disappoint the country,

the people,

and me.

Li Chuan.

-Greetings, Your Highness.
-Greetings, Your Highness.

-Long live the Princess.
-Long live the Princess.

You may rise.

-Thank you, Your Highness.
-Thank you, Your Highness.

I hope we can build
a prosperous country together.

May our country

be blessed with prosperity and harmony.

-Prosperity and harmony.
-Prosperity and harmony.

IN THE FIRST YEAR OF DEXU ERA,

THE REGENT PRINCESS ROYAL REMARRIED
THE RIGHT CHANCELLOR, PEI WENXUAN.

THEIR MARRIAGE STOOD STRONG
THROUGHOUT THE AGES.

There are so many stars.

Yes.

Look at the starry sky.

Don't the stars look like…

Go pieces?

At the corner, advance.

Block.

Block.

Advance.

A shooting star.

Rongrong.

It seems that

we've been in this game of Go
for two lifetimes.

It has been decades.

It feels like

today…

is the best day I've ever had

throughout the past decades.

I told you.

I'd be back to marry you

in the grandest ceremony ever.

Anything you want,

be it a vast country

or a world at peace,

I can give it all to you.

I'll devote the rest of my life

to you, Your Highness.

I have something for you.

MARRIAGE TALISMAN

It's real this time.

Take it.

I don't know when this dream will end,

but everything here is just so wonderful.

I cherish every moment
with you, Your Highness.

Will you marry me again

for the third time?

This time, I won't let this dream end.

I shall grow old with you

and stay by your side

forever and ever.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMPANIONSHIP
THIS SUMMER. MAY YOU HAVE…
