[Episode 12]
19
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,640
I heard
20
00:01:42,790 --> 00:01:44,000
that all the beauties with burns
21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,040
will follow Mr. Yue Qin back to Xiyan
22
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:48,310
under the pretense
of failing their studies.
23
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,150
Really?
24
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:50,790
We're going back to Xiyan?
25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,640
I don't want to return to Xiyan.
26
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:54,920
My father sold me
to the peace-making marriage delegation.
27
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:56,150
I don't have a home anymore.
28
00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:58,040
I'd rather stay
in Great Yan and seek fortune.
29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,350
Jia,
30
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:00,200
it's alright.
31
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:00,920
You can come to my home.
32
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,040
My home will be your home too.
33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,560
I'm not going.
34
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:04,840
What if
35
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:06,200
your cute neighbor falls for me?
36
00:02:06,350 --> 00:02:06,950
What will you do then?
37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,460
[Qingqu Courtyard]
That won't happen.
38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,750
He only likes me.
39
00:02:10,190 --> 00:02:11,310
He never said he liked you.
40
00:02:11,310 --> 00:02:12,030
How do you know?
41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,150
It is raining.
42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,310
He...
43
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:24,800
He took good care of me.
44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,840
How did he take care of you?
45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,800
What did he do?
46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,280
He...
47
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:30,680
When it was cold,
he told me to put on more clothes.
48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,520
When we ate,
he worried I hadn't eaten enough.
49
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:34,470
Is that love?
50
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:36,120
Yeah.
51
00:02:36,430 --> 00:02:38,190
I also tell you to eat and dress warmly.
52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,590
Well,
53
00:02:41,310 --> 00:02:42,910
when I was happy, he was happy.
54
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:45,190
When I was upset, he cheered me up.
55
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:46,870
And he
56
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:50,190
remembers everything I say,
sometimes better than I do.
57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,630
So,
58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,910
that must be love, right?
59
00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:56,360
I don't know if he likes you,
60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,840
but
61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,120
I know you like him.
62
00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:03,520
Stop that.
63
00:03:07,630 --> 00:03:08,150
Mei,
64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,470
what do you think?
65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Does he like me?
66
00:03:13,590 --> 00:03:14,800
Why don't you ask him yourself?
67
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:16,190
Exactly.
68
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:17,960
When you return to Xiyan, ask him.
69
00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:19,560
If he doesn't dare admit he likes you,
70
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,470
then forget about him.
71
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:30,310
Mei,
72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,190
try this.
73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,870
The flower cakes at the Court
of State Ceremonial look beautiful
74
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:36,080
but don't taste sweet.
75
00:03:57,470 --> 00:03:57,960
It's sweet.
76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,590
Mei, where are you going?
77
00:04:01,590 --> 00:04:03,750
It's still raining.
78
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:05,240
Mei!
79
00:04:13,310 --> 00:04:14,000
The beauties are about to be ennobled.
80
00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:15,280
No peace-making marriage beauty is allowed
81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,480
to leave the Court of State Ceremonial
without an imperial edict.
82
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,070
She has already taken leave
from Attendant Shang.
83
00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:41,560
Mr. Yue Qin.
84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,390
Miss.
85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,430
The Emperor's decree forbids any beauty
from leaving the Court of State Ceremonial
86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,750
before the ennobling ceremony.
87
00:04:48,270 --> 00:04:49,390
Even with leave granted,
88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,480
they can't go out.
89
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,160
I've heard
90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,430
this restriction
91
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,160
is because of the Xiyan spies.
92
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:57,720
Before,
93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,160
it was easy to take leave
because you were helping.
94
00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:03,950
But now that you're returning to Xiyan,
95
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,360
please be cautious
96
00:05:07,190 --> 00:05:07,870
to avoid
97
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:09,560
bringing trouble yourself.
98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Thank you for the reminder.
99
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,510
Apologies,
100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,950
I couldn't help you this time.
101
00:05:24,270 --> 00:05:27,000
I see now why it was so easy
to take leave before.
102
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,830
It was because you were helping me.
103
00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:30,630
Thanks, Mr. Yue Qin.
104
00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:32,630
Let me walk you back.
105
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,190
Your Highness.
106
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Your Highness.
107
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,430
I've uncovered something.
108
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,830
The beauty burns were caused
109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,190
by people from Prince Jing's mansion.
110
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:25,630
That's the real reason
111
00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:27,480
they're being sent back to Xiyan.
112
00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:30,680
So it wasn't about spies.
113
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,070
They were just pawns
114
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:33,920
in Great Yan's power struggle.
115
00:06:35,950 --> 00:06:36,560
Mei Lin.
116
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,800
How would they care about pawns?
117
00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:40,920
Your Highness.
118
00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:43,310
Should we warn her?
119
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,630
Of course,
120
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,190
but not yet.
121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,430
Send word to the Fanghua Palace
122
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,360
that I need Zigu's help.
123
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Yes.
124
00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:07,040
Jinghe's affairs
125
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,680
are now widely known.
126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,360
With that Mei Lin around,
127
00:07:12,630 --> 00:07:14,600
Luomei won't choose him.
128
00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:30,600
Your Majesty,
129
00:07:31,190 --> 00:07:33,120
this is this year's new tea.
130
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,560
I selected it myself.
131
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,390
Please have a taste.
132
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,950
Excuse me, Your Majesty.
133
00:07:50,510 --> 00:07:51,950
Concubine Yan,
do you have something to tell me?
134
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,190
Your Majesty,
135
00:07:55,390 --> 00:07:57,160
I have a request.
136
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:00,240
If you're asking for the dagger back,
137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,870
it's still too soon.
138
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:03,830
No, it's not that.
139
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Then what is it?
140
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:07,630
I give you my permission
141
00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:09,360
to see your brother off to Xiyan.
142
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,750
Really?
143
00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:12,720
Your Majesty,
144
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,750
you truly are the best in the world.
145
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,390
In the future,
146
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,120
just tell me what you want.
147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,560
Does that mean
148
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,680
you'll agree to everything I ask?
149
00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:22,360
That depends on what you ask for.
150
00:08:23,830 --> 00:08:25,750
This is the first thing
I've ever asked of you.
151
00:08:25,950 --> 00:08:27,390
You'll say yes, right?
152
00:08:27,950 --> 00:08:29,510
Didn't I already grant your wish?
153
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:31,240
I'm letting you see your brother off,
aren't I?
154
00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:32,270
That doesn't count.
155
00:08:32,270 --> 00:08:33,200
I didn't ask for that.
156
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,480
You offered it yourself.
157
00:08:34,910 --> 00:08:36,630
Now, I'm curious.
158
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,200
What is it that you want?
159
00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:43,150
Your Majesty,
160
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:46,390
tomorrow is the ennobling ceremony
for the peace-making marriage beauties.
161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,320
I'd like to ask you
to place Mei Lin in Fanghua Palace.
162
00:08:50,390 --> 00:08:51,080
Mei Lin?
163
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,240
Jinghe's woman?
164
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Your Majesty,
165
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Mei Lin once saved my life
on our journey to the capital.
166
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,910
I merely want to repay her kindness.
167
00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:05,320
People at the Court
of State Ceremonial say
168
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Prince Jing is deeply in love with her.
169
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,200
But I worry she might be wronged.
170
00:09:12,390 --> 00:09:13,480
After all...
171
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:15,790
Good thing I caught myself,
172
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,200
so it doesn't count
as defying your will.
173
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,630
Are you worried that Jinghe
will take revenge on her privately?
174
00:09:21,870 --> 00:09:22,600
Do not worry.
175
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,480
He won't.
176
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,030
Your Majesty,
177
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,200
please let Mei Lin stay
in the Fanghua Palace
178
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,670
for one year.
179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,390
When she marries,
she can leave from there,
180
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:37,150
which will raise her status
181
00:09:37,510 --> 00:09:39,670
and fulfill my debt of gratitude.
182
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:43,030
If Prince Jing's love is true,
183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,000
he won't be afraid of the test of time.
184
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:52,340
[West Mountain Mine]
185
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,670
The West Mountain Mine
186
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,360
and Lushan Hunting Grounds
187
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,030
are only 50 li apart.

My lord,
189
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,320
isn't this too risky?
190
00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:08,000
This is the only way

00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,720
If we rescue the hostage, Li Qing,
193
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:13,270
we can bring down the Crown Prince
in one move.

Mr. Yue Qin has come
198
00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:40,550
to bid farewell.
199
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:49,720
What are you doing...?
200
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:52,550
In the three years in Yan,
201
00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:54,480
I received much care from you.
202
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,390
As I am about to depart,
203
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,200
I bring a small gift
204
00:10:57,270 --> 00:10:58,030
to express my thanks.
205
00:10:58,790 --> 00:11:00,630
You are my father's friend.
206
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:01,910
It's not even considered offering care.
207
00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:03,390
I'm ashamed
208
00:11:03,790 --> 00:11:04,630
to accept the gift.
209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,510
Please,

00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,910

His Majesty often reads them

this

So that's the incense Father uses.
231
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,440
No wonder
you're such close friends with him.
232
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,870
Well then,
233
00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:45,870

Mr. Yue Qin,
236
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,000
you should send one
to Prince Jing as well.
237
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,720

238
00:12:02,910 --> 00:12:03,960

But,

00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,030
Mr. Yue Qin,
247
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,480
there's something else
I'd like to ask of you.
248
00:12:21,150 --> 00:12:22,670
Please speak.
249
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
It's about the ten beauties
who are to return with you to Xiyan.
250
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,720
I've been thinking
251
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,360
about their suspicious origins.
252
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,510
Father doesn't want to delve deeper
253
00:12:36,510 --> 00:12:37,360
because of the political implications,
254
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,720
but to avoid trouble in the future,
255
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,200
they cannot live.
256
00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:54,550
If you
257
00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:57,440
are willing to ease my burden,
258
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,080
why not come over
259
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,840
and have a cup of tea with me?

00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,550

you were a gentleman

and personally fetch her
when the time comes.

Yes, my lord.

you truly love,

303
00:15:54,750 --> 00:15:55,960
has certainly been an eye-opener.

just come back to Great Yan
and bring Mei Lin away.

Go to the Emperor for help.

Do not worry.

- The imperial decree has arrived.

Mei Lin from Xiyan,
360
00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:06,640
for your virtuous character
361
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,880
and exceptional talent,
362
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:09,550
you are chosen to serve

00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:11,200
in the Fanghua Palace

00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,400
under the care of Concubine Yan.
365
00:19:12,750 --> 00:19:13,750
The proclamation is now complete.
366
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,070
Mei Lin,
367
00:19:27,110 --> 00:19:28,160
aren't you happy?
368
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:33,030
I wasn't allowed to tell you before
369
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:34,550
because His Majesty
370
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,680
didn't want Prince Jing
to know and interfere.
371
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:38,270
So...
372
00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:38,830
Your Highness,
373
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:40,920
I understand your concerns.
374
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,000
But I forgot to give something
to Mr. Yue Qin.
375
00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:44,350
I need to hurry and deliver it.
376
00:19:46,550 --> 00:19:47,400
Then go.
377
00:19:59,030 --> 00:20:00,790
You look better
with a simple appearance.
378
00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:12,960
Actually, your festive look is nice too.
379
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,270
My lord.
380
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:16,440
- Has she...
- My lord.
381
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,750
Miss Mei Lin has been assigned
to Fanghua Palace.
382
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:21,680
My lord.
383
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,070
Concubine Yan asked me to inform you
384
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:25,680
that Miss Mei Lin,
385
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,480
unwilling to part from Mr. Yue Qin,
386
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,350
has gone to see him off.
387
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,400
There's no need for you
to make the trip.
388
00:20:32,350 --> 00:20:32,790
Qingyan,
389
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,350
follow the Xiyan delegation.
390
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:34,750
Yes, my lord.
391
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:02,750
Mei Lin?
392
00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:09,030
It's my failure.
393
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
I couldn't protect them.
394
00:21:27,030 --> 00:21:27,640
Jia.
395
00:21:29,790 --> 00:21:30,680
Jia, wake up.
396
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,480
Wake up.
397
00:21:37,310 --> 00:21:38,030
Jia.
398
00:21:44,110 --> 00:21:44,680
Yi.
399
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,070
Don't sleep.
400
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:47,830
Get up.
401
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:49,830
Wake up.
402
00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:51,960
Get up.
403
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,270
Mei Lin,
404
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,750
I'll take them back.
405
00:21:59,550 --> 00:22:00,510
I'll bring them home.
406
00:22:00,510 --> 00:22:01,310
Stay calm.
407
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,920
They shouldn't have gone home like this.
408
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,000
They were innocent,
409
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,550
caught in a deadly power struggle
in Great Yan.
410
00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:08,640
And I'm no more than a pawn.
411
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:11,030
Even with the will,
I lack the power to save them.
412
00:22:12,550 --> 00:22:13,920
When you left,
413
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,550
I saw it.
414
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:24,880
I saw an Eastern Palace secret guard
following you.
415
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:31,240
Was this the Crown Prince's doing?
416
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,440
Mei Lin, don't be rash.
417
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:37,200
You now belong to Fanghua Palace.
418
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,070
Our fates are intertwined.
419
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,110
Believe me,
420
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,440
no one will dare harm you.
421
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:45,880
Live and wait for me to return.
422
00:22:46,550 --> 00:22:48,110
If you really want to know the truth,
423
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,510
ask Prince Jing.
424
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:54,350
The girls,
425
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,160
I'll take them home.
426
00:22:58,030 --> 00:22:58,550
Mr. Yue Qin,
427
00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:03,070
I leave them in your care.
428
00:23:22,030 --> 00:23:23,480
You mustn't be seen,
429
00:23:24,590 --> 00:23:25,680
or the Crown Prince's hands
430
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,240
will never be clean.
431
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,750
I can't bear to see another Dai
432
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,920
die in front of me.
433
00:23:51,070 --> 00:23:52,240
The Crown Prince couldn't deal with you,
434
00:23:52,830 --> 00:23:54,160
so he mimicked your burn mark
435
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,720
to frame me,
436
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,790
claiming I'm using the Xiyan beauties
to bribe court officials
437
00:23:58,510 --> 00:23:59,480
and threaten
the Crown Prince's position.
438
00:24:13,750 --> 00:24:15,110
What have you done?
439
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,750
Bandits killed my Xiyan people
440
00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:39,160
for profit.
441
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,790
They have been dealt with.
442
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Now,
443
00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:44,960
both Great Yan and Xiyan
444
00:24:45,310 --> 00:24:46,270
have their answers.
445
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,680
Mr. Yue Qin,
446
00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:49,200
you are so thorough.
447
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,030
Let me beg the Crown Prince
448
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,200
for mercy
449
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,440
so I can bring their bodies
450
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,000
back to Xiyan for burial.
451
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,480
Mr. Yue Qin.
452
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,880
You're also so compassionate.
453
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,920
It's done.
454
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,640
I must return to the Eastern Palace
to report.
455
00:25:07,030 --> 00:25:07,680
Farewell,
456
00:25:08,110 --> 00:25:09,350
Mr. Yue Qin.
457
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,270
Farewell.
458
00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:18,780
[Guests Like Clouds]
459
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:20,160
My lord,
460
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,310
time is running out.
461
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,000
We must go.
462
00:25:35,030 --> 00:25:37,160
The matter of the beauties is settled.
463
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,400
His Majesty won't see you.
464
00:25:39,590 --> 00:25:40,200
My lord,
465
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,480
please return.
466
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,030
I'll find another way.
467
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,240
No matter what,
468
00:25:59,590 --> 00:26:00,110
I won't let you...
469
00:26:00,110 --> 00:26:01,270
What did you do to those ten beauties?
470
00:26:03,310 --> 00:26:04,880
The burn marks on their wrists,
471
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,750
did you do that?
472
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,310
Yes.
473
00:26:14,590 --> 00:26:15,830
I asked you before,
474
00:26:17,070 --> 00:26:17,920
and you lied to me.
475
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,590
Why?
476
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,510
You burned yourself too,
but you didn't tell me.
477
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,310
Like you,
478
00:26:24,790 --> 00:26:26,030
I was buying time.
479
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,550
But you knew
480
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,880
Dai died because of that.
481
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,070
I had no intention of killing anyone.
482
00:26:31,070 --> 00:26:32,920
But when you burned them,
you were killing them.
483
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,880
Those ten beauties didn't know anything.
484
00:26:37,110 --> 00:26:38,550
They became pawns
485
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,750
because you chose them.
486
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,400
And now look at them.
487
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,030
I'm your pawn too.
488
00:26:47,070 --> 00:26:49,200
And I thought
we were partners in vengeance.
489
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,720
Isn't it funny?
490
00:26:54,550 --> 00:26:55,270
A player
491
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,200
and a pawn
492
00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,310
work together to win,
493
00:27:00,830 --> 00:27:02,110
not to flip the board.
494
00:27:03,030 --> 00:27:04,070
A pawn
495
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,510
can never be a winner.
496
00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:08,750
All I wanted
497
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:11,200
was justice for the innocent.
498
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Do you think
I wanted anything different?
499
00:27:13,070 --> 00:27:13,880
Everything I did
500
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,110
was to make sure the ones responsible
for the fire were punished.
501
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,270
That the Weibei Army was vindicated.
502
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,200
That the 100,000 innocent souls
in Qingzhou
503
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,200
could rest in peace.
504
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,400
But the way you seek justice
505
00:27:22,550 --> 00:27:23,830
for the innocent,
506
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,790
doesn't it sound absurd even to you?
507
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,070
Fighting the man
who slaughtered 100,000 people,
508
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,200
does it matter
if the methods are absurd?
509
00:27:40,030 --> 00:27:41,550
This is what sounds absurd to me.
510
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,440
Do you know who we're up against?
511
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,960
Our enemy is the Crown Prince.
512
00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:55,550
Court politics are no less brutal
than the battlefield.
513
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,350
On the battlefield,
514
00:27:58,550 --> 00:28:00,070
the only thing that matters is victory.
515
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:09,750
I won't work with you
516
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,070
from this moment on.
517
00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:54,510
My lord,
518
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,790
the ten beauties have been silenced
by the Crown Prince.
519
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,440
What?
520
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,270
When I reached the delegation,
521
00:29:01,270 --> 00:29:02,350
Miss Mei Lin already knew
522
00:29:02,350 --> 00:29:03,480
about the deaths.
523
00:29:04,350 --> 00:29:06,510
Yue Qin has likely formed an alliance
with the Crown Prince.
524
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,030
There's no way the silencing
525
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:10,200
could've gone so smoothly without help.
526
00:29:15,070 --> 00:29:16,720
Tell me everything you know.
527
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:17,540
[Guests Like Clouds]
528
00:29:17,550 --> 00:29:18,110
Sir,
529
00:29:18,310 --> 00:29:19,750
after they loaded the bodies, they left.
530
00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:22,400
I didn't see anything else.
531
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:23,510
I'll take my leave now.
532
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,790
It's Xiyan's closed-breath pill.
533
00:29:51,310 --> 00:29:51,790
My lord,
534
00:29:52,510 --> 00:29:53,550
the manager of the way station said
535
00:29:53,790 --> 00:29:54,920
Wang Quan
from the Eastern Palace was here.
536
00:29:56,270 --> 00:29:57,400
You were right.
537
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Yue Qin and the Crown Prince
538
00:29:59,310 --> 00:30:00,590
have formed an alliance.
539
00:30:03,550 --> 00:30:04,350
Qingyan,
540
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,110
we underestimated him.
541
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:11,830
Mr. Yue Qin,
542
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:12,790
don't worry.
543
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,830
Thanks to the closed-breath pills,
544
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:15,030
we've deceived the Crown Prince.
545
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,160
It is late.
546
00:30:18,590 --> 00:30:19,400
Let's rest briefly,
547
00:30:19,550 --> 00:30:20,640
and then continue on our journey.
548
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,920
Mr. Yue Qin,
you have truly done a good job,
549
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,070
killing two birds with one stone.
550
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:43,350
My Xiyan people shouldn't die in vain.
551
00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:45,510
And Mei Lin
shouldn't be deceived by you either.
552
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:46,640
My lord.
553
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:55,680
All of you,
554
00:30:55,830 --> 00:30:57,110
write a letter to Mei Lin,
telling her you're safe.
555
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,960
She's already burdened
by the 100,000 souls of Qingzhou.
556
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,070
Don't add ten more lives to that burden.
557
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,030
No need for them to write.
558
00:31:15,270 --> 00:31:16,350
This letter
559
00:31:16,510 --> 00:31:18,400
was meant to be delivered to her
upon our return to Xiyan.
560
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,310

your lies will be exposed.
564
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,750
There's no need for me
to use all these lives for a charade.
565
00:31:32,030 --> 00:31:32,750
Murong Jinghe,
566
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,830
you are not worthy
of walking this path with her.
567
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,070
Let's go.
568
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,510
Aren't you going to read the letter?
569
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,160
At least he won't harm her.
570
00:31:56,830 --> 00:31:57,960
But what if Mr. Yue Qin
571
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,480
added lies to the letter?
572
00:32:00,270 --> 00:32:02,270
Then Miss Mei Lin
will hate you even more.
573
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:06,420
[To Mei Lin]
574
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,440
The letter is meant for her.
575
00:32:08,590 --> 00:32:09,510
I shouldn't read it.

577
00:32:14,310 --> 00:32:16,590

you haven't been happy lately.
578

Are you not used to it here?
579
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,200
No.
580
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:23,240
I know Fanghua Palace
has a lot of rules,
581
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,350
but we can find ways around them.
582
00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:26,920
Look.
583
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,350
I brought you something.
584
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:35,960
This is the bamboo brew
my brother left behind.
585
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,240
Now,
586
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,640
we can drink whenever we want.
587
00:32:39,790 --> 00:32:41,440
I know you like drinking.
588
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,240
Whenever I'm unhappy,
589
00:32:43,270 --> 00:32:44,590
I drink this bamboo brew.
590
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:49,160
Come, Your Highness.
591
00:32:49,830 --> 00:32:50,350
Cheers!
592
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:57,350
I'll tell you something.
593
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,680
On the day of the ennobling ceremony,
594
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,000
Prince Jing came to see His Majesty,
hoping to take you back to his mansion.
595
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,920
But His Majesty turned him away.
596
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,070
I thought he'd make a scene,
597
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,550
but he's been surprisingly quiet.
598
00:33:12,030 --> 00:33:12,510
Your Highness,
599
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:14,960
Prince Jing wants to see you.
600
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,160
Prince Jing.
601
00:33:24,510 --> 00:33:26,240
This is Fanghua Palace,
I have an imperial decree.
602
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,480
You can't take her away.
603
00:33:30,270 --> 00:33:31,510
Your Highness, you need not worry.
604
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,920
Since Mei Lin has been assigned
to Fanghua Palace,
605
00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:36,440
I wouldn't dare take her away.
606
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,160
I just want to say a few words.
607
00:33:39,550 --> 00:33:40,310
Then I'll leave.
608
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,640
I won't work with you
609
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,640
from this moment on.
610
00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:19,920
I have nothing more
611
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:21,670
to say to you.
612
00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:27,800
Those beauties aren't dead.

614
00:34:38,230 --> 00:34:39,110
trust him.

617
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,280
do not worry.
618
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,070
The girls have safely returned to Xiyan.
619
00:34:58,070 --> 00:35:00,280
I kept the truth hidden out of necessity
620
00:35:00,670 --> 00:35:02,110
to deceive the Crown Prince.
621
00:35:03,710 --> 00:35:04,630
Take care.
622
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,590

to visit Fanghua Palace anymore.

00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,550
who troubles you again.
752
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,800
Forget-Sorrow Flower.
753
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,480
It works.
754
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,510
When Ziyu bullied me,
755
00:42:50,630 --> 00:42:52,440
I prayed with the Forget-Sorrow Flower,
756
00:42:54,150 --> 00:42:55,590
and the next day,
I was in the peace-making marriage.
757
00:43:11,190 --> 00:43:12,590
Whether
758
00:43:12,670 --> 00:43:13,630
he loves me or not,
759
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,800
we've already become strangers.
760
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:17,590
It doesn't matter anymore.
761
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,070
Let's go, Your Highness.
762
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,320
Wait!
763
00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:26,190
It's about to sink!
764
00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:27,320
Just wait a little longer.
765
00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:35,360
The paper flower is already wet.
766
00:43:37,190 --> 00:43:38,550
It'll sink sooner or later.
767
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,230
Let's go.
768
00:44:19,140 --> 00:44:22,020
[Shuanglin Courtyard]
769
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,960
âȘThe wind scatters the spring flowersâȘ
770
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,760

âȘI am mired in the mudâȘ
774
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:18,720
âȘLove is helpless,
falling into the abyssâȘ
775
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:26,880
âȘIf life is a predetermined sorrowâȘ
776
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:34,600
âȘLove is an endless wanderingâȘ
777
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:42,040
âȘA place in the heart
from which there is no returnâȘ
778
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,880
âȘIt's a vain hope, it's in imaginationâȘ

âȘIt's the distinguished lightâȘ
