Nine-Part Rhyme by Ye Xuan Qing

♫ Time is like a shuttle which just passed by but comes back right away ♫

♫ Feeling is like silk that we're unaware of how entangled it has become ♫

♫ Weave a piece of glamorous ornamentation ♫

♫ With both of our deep loves ♫

♫ It's hard to entrust this love-sickness to someone ♫

♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone

♫ With your name seal carved into my heart ♫

♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk ♫

♫ Which cannot be cut but is mingled forever and ever ♫

The Eternal Love

Episode 16

8th Prince Manor

Princess, you have been fiddling with this god statue for so many days already.

Now that the Prince is awake. You should send it over

and display your good intentions.

What do you understand? The situation right now is so awkward.

I don't know what Qu Tan'er told the Prince.

Big Brother Lian Cheng! Why have you come?

What? I came at the wrong time?

Are you fully recovered now?

This statue was meticulously done.

The jade is pure and white.

It looks like a god revered by the foreign tribe in the north.

Your Highness, to pray for your safety, the princess

especially asked people to hurriedly create it. This jade is Yangzhi jade that came from the Longliang Mountain.

It's really hard to mine. Due to the sincerity of 2nd Princess Consort,

she even asked someone to carve a god that blesses and maintains people's good health.

It was all for you.

Big Brother Lian Cheng, do you like it?

When you were unconscious,

the Princess Consort took care of you.

It's not that I didn't want to help,

it's just... they wouldn't let me see you.

Big Brother Lian Cheng, you wouldn't blame me, would you?

There are some things that are better if you don't put all your heart into it.

Big Brother Lian Cheng, what do you mean by that?

Could it be... the Princess Consort said something to you?

Are you afraid she said something to me?

I'm not afraid! All I did was for you--

Shut your mouth!

You wanted to give me this jade?

No matter if it's a god or Buddha,

if they stubbornly wanted to harm Tan'er,

I will destroy them completely!

All that I do is for you!

Even if I am completely destroyed,

I do not care!

Big Brother Lian Cheng!

Big Brother Lian Cheng misunderstood me. Now he hates me!

Please pity me and try to persuade Big Brother Lian Cheng!

I know he listens to you the most, Queen Dowager!

This matter has an undeniable connection to you.

How can I easily persuade him?

That day, for Qu Tan'er, Cheng'er

dared to openly argue against me.

Ever since childhood, that was the very first time.

Then... how am I suppose to have a place to stand?

Now, Cheng'er's heart is fully focused on Qu Tan'er.

If you want a place to stand, you must repair your relationship with her.

I don't think Cheng'er will make things too hard on you.

But... Big Brother Lian Cheng won't let me see her!

Even if I want to quietly apologize to her,

I don't even have a chance to do that.

We cannot rush.

I will find a chance to invite them all here

and openly speak on your behalf.

If we want Cheng'er to put down his reservations against us,

we can only let that Qu Tan'er win for now.

Get up first and go back.

Then I will go back first.

I will have to trouble you for my matters.

You must remember. Stay in your place for a few days.

You cannot create any more trouble.

Yes. I understand.

I will take my leave.

It looks like Cheng'er has begun to suspect Yun'er.

Did you do it cleanly?

You left no clues behind?

Do not worry, Queen Dowager. I left no tracks behind.

Besides, we expected the Princess' involvement to be discovered.

The 8th Prince didn't pursue the Princess' involvement, so it should be alright.

I purposely let Qu Pan'er know

about Yun'er's hate for Qu Tan'er.

She really did do as I expected

inciting Yun'er to kill Qu Tan'er.

I thought I could

use the chance to kill Qu Tan'er,

put the blame for assassinating a prince

on Qu Pan'er, get rid of the Qu family forever,

thusly getting the throne for Cheng'er.

Sweeping away all obstacles.

The risk was quite high with this matter to begin with.

I was afraid there'd be an accident, so I had to make you appear

and secretly protect Cheng'er.

It's just I didn't think that Cheng'er would still

almost die.

I paid such a large price.

Yet I still haven't gotten rid of Qu Tan'er!

We originally thought the Princess and Crown Princess' people could definitely

get rid of her.

I never imagined that the 8th Princess Consort's life

would be so stable!

Giving Cheng'er some face,

I won't pursue the matter for now.

Now, the most important thing

is not to let Cheng'er become estranged from me.

Queen Dowager, you are right.

We have a long time to get rid of the 8th Princess Consort.

But there is one thing that I find strange.

What is it?

Madam Qu suddenly died from an illness.

I think the 8th Prince already investigated their involvement in the assassination attempt.

But the 8th Prince hushed up this matter.

I wonder what strange things are happening behind all that.

Wasn't it because you did your job poorly?

I was useless. Please punish me, Queen Dowager.

Forget it. Get up.

Yes.

It's still good. Since Qu Tan'er can force Madam Qu to her death,

Qu Pan'er probably hates her to the bone now.

Even if I don't do anything else,

Qu Pan'er will not spare Qu Tan'er.

You are very wise, Queen Dowager.

Currently, the season is just right.

We shouldn't waste this golden autumn time. Go and make preparations.

Take the western wine brought into the palace

and prepare it.

I want to throw a wine feast.

I understand.

The Queen Dowager has arrived!

- Greetings, Queen Dowager! - Greetings, Queen Dowager!

Alright, all of you sit down.

- Thank you, Queen Dowager. - Thank you, Queen Dowager.

Yun'er. Hurry and sit by Cheng'er's side.

Yes!

Prince, Princess Consort.

During this golden autumn season, I prepared good wine from the Western Regions.

I especially invited you all here

to drink these good wines and enjoy the pleasures of family life with me.

Come!

- Thank you, Queen Dowager! - Thank you, Queen Dowager!

How are your injuries recovering?

Thank you for your care, Royal Grandmother. My injuries are fine now.

That's good.

Yun'er. You must

take good care of your Prince for me.

I heard that the 8th Princess Consort has always

taken good care of the Prince.

You must learn well from her.

Yes! I am most aware!

Do not worry, Queen Dowager. I will do my best to serve the Prince and Princess Consort.

What is going on? Do you not watch where you're going?

Please punish me, Crown Princess!

I did not do it on purpose! Please punish me!

Enough. I do not want to hold it against you.

Put the wine jug down

and bring some medicine for my foot.

What are you standing there for? Hurry and go!

What are you trying to do?

Don't worry. I am just reconciling with my little sister.

Tan'er.

In the past, I was wrong.

I didn't act as an older sister should.

I made you suffer. I will drink a cup to you.

I hope you will not mind the past.

In the future, let us live in harmony.

Come, pour some wine for the 8th Princess Consort.

What? You are not willing to forgive me?

How could I? Naturally, I should accept your good intentions.

But, I do not feel very well today.

I cannot drink wine.

How about you drink it for me?

It's just a cup of wine. It should be alright.

Are you really

going to make me lose face in front of so many people?

Tan'er feels unwell today.

Crown Princess, do not force her.

The Queen Dowager's arrangement today was for me to reconcile with Qu Tan'er.

How about I help her out?

I think Big Brother Lian Cheng will see me in a new light!

Since Big Sister Princess Consort doesn't feel well,

then naturally, I should take this for her.

I hope in the future--

Qing Yun!

Yun'er! Yun'er, what's wrong?

Hurry and go take a look!

Thankfully... it wasn't you, Bro--

Hurry! Summon a Royal Physician!

There's no need.

Yun'er... has already died from the poison.

Yun'er! How dare you!

You dare to poison her in front of me?!

Men!

Please be calm, Queen Dowager. Just now, the Princess

drank the 8th Princess's wine. That's why--!

You!

Royal Grandmother! Yun'er did drink Tan'er's wine,

but Tan'er never touched the cup!

And she also never left the banquet.

That's right! I can be a witness! The servant girl brought that wine in!

She was also the one who poured the wine. 8th Sister-in-law had no chance to poison the wine!

Queen Dowager! There is poison in the wine!

It was her! She poured wine for the 8th Princess Consort!

Bring her here!

Queen Dowager, spare me! I am innocent!

I am innocent!

Queen Dowager, I remember now!

It was the Crown Princess! Outside the room just now,

I accidentally bumped into the Crown Princess.

She said she hurt her foot

and had me put down the wine to go get medicine.

After I got the medicine and came back, she was gone!

I returned to the wine feast

and then hurriedly brought the wine from earlier here!

What nonsense! You bitch!

You dare to frame me?!

If you have spoken even half a lie,

I will definitely make your life a living hell!

Queen Dowager! How can you listen to one palace maid's testimony about this?

Queen Dowager, the Crown Princess

holds no grudges against the Princess. She wouldn't do such a thing!

Please believe me, Queen Dowager!

Royal Grandmother, Yun'er is my Secondary Princess Consort.

She died in vain, I must get some answers.

The person who could have poisoned her is either the Crown Princess or the Palace Maid.

If one of them indeed poisoned the wine, it must still be on her body.

We must search them.

Search them!

Yes.

Queen Dowager, we didn't find anything.

Queen Dowager.

This vial of poison has the same poison as in the wine.

You... what else do you have to say for yourself?!

Men! Seize her!

Queen Dowager, have mercy!

Queen Dowager, please listen to what I have to say.

There must be some sort of misunderstanding.

Just now the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have been sitting here all along.

They...

Crown Prince, hurry, please beg for mercy for Pan'er.

She's so bold and daring to do such an act,

I cannot be tolerant of her.

This matter has nothing to do with me, please Queen Dowager, punish it as you see fit.

Qu Pan'er, the evidence is right before us

what else do you have to say for yourself?!

Please Queen Dowager, have mercy, forgive the Crown Princess.

Seize Qu Pan'er and throw her in the dungeons!

No one is allowed to visit her!

- Yes. - Yes!

Queen Dowager...

This has nothing to do with me! Your Royal Highness Queen Dowager!

Queen Dowager... Pan'er!

Please Crown Prince, seeing that I've always been loyal to you, please save Pan'er.

Things have come to this, how do you want me to save her?

Even if it's not for me, Crown Prince please,

consider your husband and wife relationship--

Husband and wife relationship?!

She plotted to kill Tan'er,

she has already destroyed the last bit of feelings I have for her.

And even now, she still obstinately persisted in doing the wrong things.

Instead of killing Tan'er,

she killed the Queen Dowager's beloved Grand-niece!

Will Duke Anle just let this matter go?!

Now, the evidence is all there

and it landed into the Queen Dowager's hands, not to say just me!

Even if it was Royal Father, he can't even save her.

- Crown Prince-- - Say no more.

Since this matter didn't implicate me,

it's already ideal.

Since I didn't spill all the things she's done previously

that is already giving you respect.

Crown Prince... Crown Prince! Crown Prince! Crown Prince!

Time and time again she's tried to harm me.

You even dare come to beg for mercy on her behalf.

Pan'er is indeed in the wrong.

But can't you consider your biological relationship

and extend a helping hand? I will then surely remember this matter in my heart.

Biological relationship?

When she was planing to harm me,

did she consider our biological relationship?

Pan'er just got confused because of her obsessions.

Tan'er, if you can save her,

in the future, I will watch her and teach her.

She will definitely be grateful to your kindness.

Lord Father,

if I was the one who made this grave mistake,

would you also think of a way to save me too?

Let's not first mention the fact that she is already currently in a hopeless situation,

even if I could save her,

could you be certain that she would not harm me again in future?

Looks like, you still won't forgive me.

Tan'er, you should understand.

Presently, my Qu family is already in imminent peril.

If I had another choice

I wouldn't have shamed myself and come to beg you.

Alright then.

Tan'er... no...

8th Princess Consort.

Consider it as though I'm begging you.

What are you doing, hurry and get up!

This time, she was caught by Queen Dowager!

Even the Crown Prince can't save her,

how can I save her?

If 8th Prince can intervene,

the situation can be changed.

8th Prince?

Why would 8th Prince save her?

He hates her so much he'd rather chop her into thousands of pieces.

But 8th Prince favors and loves you.

Tan'er if you could convince the 8th Prince,

I'm willing to hand over the precious family treasure,

the Soul Suppressing Orb.

The Soul Suppressing Orb?

If you want to return, you must obtain the Soul Suppressing Orb.

Let me consider it.

Thank you, 8th Princess Consort.

Who would have thought that Elder Sister

would be so heartless toward me.

But... I only have one biological sister.

Tan'er, I beg of you.

My Miss will surely consider family ties.

I beg you to think of a way. Qu Pan'er must be spared this time, okay?

This girl is really hopeless.

She's even begging for the person who tried to kill her?!

This excessively kind, silly, sweet girl will sooner or later die from being bullied.

Miss, Xiao Tan already agreed.

She said that she will discuss it with the Prince later.

Xiao Tan, my Miss said that you really are a very kind person.

Say, you surely will have a way, right?

You're making it sound so easy. How can there be that many good ideas?

Your Lady Highness, Queen Dowager... Your Lady Highness, Queen Dowager, please forgive me!

Really good, Qu Pan'er... You dare touch my person too?

I'll let you die tragically!

Queen Dowager, you blamed me wrongly.

That poisoned wine was actually meant for that Qu Tan'er!

I was thinking of eliminating an eye sore for you!

But who would've thought that Princess, she...

All this is that Qu Tan'er's faul--

Shut up! In front of me,

you think you will be allowed to do clever talk and do insinuating acts?

Your Highness, Queen Dowager...

Your Highness, Queen Dowager, please investigate it well.

Even if I had extreme guts,

I also wouldn't dare to harm the Princess.

You wouldn't dare?

Aren't you bold enough?

You think that when Cheng'er was almost killed in the Smooth Sound Pavilion,

I didn't know that you were the one who orchestrated it?

That matter... had nothing to do with me.

I already know

how you and your mother instigated Yun'er to assassinate that half sister of yours

so you'd have the opportunity to also attempt to kill Cheng'er and let Yun'er be the scapegoat. Such evil schemes!

Your Highness, Queen Dowager, you...

If not for the Queen Dowager having good foresight

and asking me to protect him covertly,

I fear the 8th Prince would have already long ago unfairly died under the swords

of your assassins.

But you...

actually still dare to absolve yourself from this matter right in front of me?

Just the crime of trying to assassinate Cheng'er,

even if I let you die 10,000 times is not enough to clear this anger I have!

What is it?

Informing the Queen Dowager, 8th Prince is asking for an audience.

Cheng'er wants to see me at this time?

Just you wait.

Tonight, I must personally see your flesh

get sliced off bit by bit!

Greetings, Royal Grandmother.

Cheng'er, what is the matter?

You came to find me in such haste.

I came for Qu Pan'er.

Are you going to beg for mercy for her?

- Precisely. - You can't!

She caused Yun'er to die. If I don't kill her,

my hatred cannot be eased!

The Duke of Anle also needs an answer!

Don't even mention this again!

Royal Grandmother, there is one thing that I wonder

if you could give me an answer to?

What is it?

My life and Qu Pan'er's life, which is more important?

Naturally, it's yours.

Very well. If we use Qu Pan'er's life

in exchange for a great chance for me to take the throne,

should we exchange it or not?

What do you mean?

For Qu Pan'er, Qu Zhao Ying went to beg the Crown Prince.

But to protect himself, the Crown Prince didn't help him.

To have him come to beg me, he probably has no other path to take.

Continue talking.

If I'll be able to provide him help at this hour that he is in need,

I can definitely use the Qu family's power for my benefit.

For Qu Pan'er, Official Qu

is willing to give me the Qu family treasure.

I don't know what it is,

but, it is something the Crown Prince dreams of having.

I believe it has to do with the fight for the throne.

This is the time to take this treasure and the Qu family

in for my own use.

If it really is as you say,

then Qu Pan'er's life

can be recorded in my books for now.

Thank you, Royal Grandmother.

It's just Yun'er...

Go and tell the King that it is my intention

that we will bury the Princess later. She will be named posthumously as the Princess Consort.

I will personally go to comfort

the entire Duke of Anle's family.

Master, the First Young Mistress has been released.

Good, I got it.

Good.

It's good that my daughter is free. I'm at ease now.

This time, it is all thanks to the 8th Prince.

The 8th Prince did a great favor to me.

Soul Suppressing Orb...

My Soul Suppressing Orb...

Eldest Prince Manor

Your Highness, you're finally back. You really worried me.

Did something happen in our manor?

How come it was 8th Prince who pleaded for me?

Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?

For the details, I also don't know them very clearly.

It's just that I heard from the Qu Manor that it was Master who used the family heirloom to beg for 8th Prince's mercy.

Family heirloom...

- Oh, no! - Your Highness!

You must be careful. Slowly.

Careful... You must be careful.

Lightly...

You all leave.

Yes.

Jing Xin, you leave first too.

This big?! Is this a ball?

To my Qu ancestors in Heaven...
