[The Double]

[Episode 33]

[Yong'an Pavilion]

Are you afraid?

Don't worry, I won't kill you.

Grand Chancellor Jiang is still outside.

I don't want

to be arrested for the crime of harming
the Grand Chancellor's daughter.

What exactly are you taking me to do?

Don't panic. Slowly.

Go and take a closer look.

Zhao?

So?

Are you surprised
that Xue Zhao is still alive?

I always like
to have an ace up my sleeve.

To prevent the Xue family
from seeking revenge,

I have kept him
imprisoned here all along.

Since it has come to this,
let's lay everything out in the open.

Xue Fangfei, do you want
to save your brother?

I don't know her.

Whether you know her or not
is just a test away.

Wanning.

Wanning.

Wanning!

Wanning!

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Tell me. What do you want me to do?

Shen Yurong in exchange for Xue Zhao.

If you retract your testimony during
the interrogation, I'll release him.

What if you don't release him?

Why would I keep him imprisoned?

For Xiao Heng to investigate me?

What right do you have
to negotiate with me?

Since it's a condition,

I'll state mine too.

From now onward,

you are not allowed
to lay a hand on him.

Otherwise, it's a case
of mutual destruction.

You do your part,
and naturally, I'll do mine.

Zhao.

Zhao.

Li.

Grand Chancellor Li,
sorry to make you wait.

We had a girls' talk

and got too engrossed, right?

Yes.

Second Lady Jiang,
come and have tea with me next time.

Li,

what did Eldest Princess do to you?

I'm fine, Father.

I had some conflict
with Her Highness previously,

but realized it was
a misunderstanding later.

I didn't have time to explain it.

When she found out
about what happened to me,

she comforted me and even apologized.

Stop!

Save me.

Stop!

Fangfei, save me.

Save me.

Release him!

- Lady Jiang.
- Zhao!

Lady Jiang, what's wrong?

Prepare ink for me.

Yes.

[To: Situ Jiuyue]
Deliver this letter to Jiuyue quickly.

Wait until she finishes reading it
before leaving.

Lady Jiang,

did something happen back at
Eldest Princess' Residence?

Do I need to inform Duke Su?

You don't need to inform him about this.

Yes.

My Lord, Zhao Ke sent news.

Second Lady Jiang told him
to deliver a letter to Jiuyue.

Why does she need Jiuyue?

Should I retrieve the letter?

No need.

That makes me

look like a scoundrel who likes
to spy on people.

Zhao Ke said that Lady Jiang
looked absent-minded

after leaving
Eldest Princess' Residence.

Eldest Princess must've
said something to her.

Send more men
to keep an eye on Wanning.

Notify me immediately of any news
from the Jiang family's side.

Yes.

[Court of Judicial Review]

I, Jiang Yuanbai, have served in court
for many years.

Never did I imagine
such absurd hardships

would befall my daughter.

At Shen's Residence's banquet,
in full view of the guests,

Shen Yurong went against ethical norms

and attempted
to take advantage of Jiang Li.

He doesn't deserve the official robe
bestowed upon him by His Majesty.

Shen Yurong has no shame.

Grand Chancellor Jiang,
we know you're upset.

When the court officials
are involved in such matters,

we are also angry.

Don't worry, Grand Chancellor Jiang.

These past few days, I have questioned

the witnesses who were present
at the scene,

and they have all truthfully recounted

what happened that day.

With both witness testimony
and physical evidence in place,

once we confirm Lady Jiang's statement
one more time,

Shen Yurong can be convicted.

Good.

Li, go.

[Confessed criminal: Shen Yurong
Victim]

[Shen Yurong]

I want you to tell everyone

you seduced Shen Yurong.

Just say you admire Mr. Shen.

You took the opportunity
during the Shen family's banquet

to express your feelings to him.

After getting rejected,
you got embarrassed and angry.

That was why you ended up injuring him.

Li.

I cannot

sign this document.

You...

Why?

Because

I've always

admired Mr. Shen.

During the banquet...

Jiang Li.

Please be mindful of what you say

in front of the Secretary
of Judicial Review.

During the banquet, I wanted
to express my feelings to Mr. Shen.

I was rejected.
That caused the misunderstanding.

Why didn't you explain back then?

It was too sudden.

I panicked and
didn't have time to explain.

These past few days,
I've been feeling guilty.

I don't want Mr. Shen
to suffer because of me.

That's why I'm here today
to clear Mr. Shen's name.

Please forgive my unintended mistake.

This was solely my doing.

Second Lady Jiang,

regardless of your intentions
behind saying these words,

I'll give you one more chance.

Think carefully before you speak again.

This won't be resolved because
you claim it's a misunderstanding.

You previously claimed
that Shen Yurong tried to molest you,

and you injured him in self-defense.

There are

witnesses who have recorded
these statements on file.

If you retract your testimony now,
Shen Yurong will be innocent.

However, falsely accusing
court officials

is a serious offense.

So you need to think carefully about it.

I've thought it through.
That's the truth.

I'm sorry, Grand Chancellor Jiang.

If things are indeed as you say,

then this case will need
to be resolved differently.

Today, Second Lady Jiang retracted
her testimony herself,

confirming her guilt. There's no need
for further investigation.

The Court of Judicial Review must
deliberate on the punishment now

and submit it
to the Ministry of Justice for approval.

Therefore, the Jiang family
cannot take custody of her

as they did last time.

Li, did Eldest Princess
threaten you?

Tell us.

Or

do you have any concerns?

I simply spoke truthfully
about my own wrongdoing

and cleared Mr. Shen's name.

Someone.

Yes.

Take her away.

Yes.

My Lord,

Jiang Yuanbai just brought

Second Lady Jiang
to the Court of Judicial Review.

Suddenly,

she retracted her testimony

and was detained on the spot.

What?

Gentlemen,

can I talk to Second Lady Jiang?

You found a nice backer for yourself.

She insisted on saving you at all costs.

I never asked her to save me.

She captured my brother
and tortured him every day

in a secret dungeon.

Don't you know about that?

Xue Zhao?

Is he still alive?

Stop pretending, Shen Yurong.

You're both intimate. How could she
possibly hide that from you?

I really don't know.

She exchanged my brother for you.

Shen Yurong,

after you leave,
don't just indulge in pleasure.

Remember, every moment you live

was paid for with the suffering
of the Xue family.

Do you think

I'm that kind of person?

I once believed
your conscience was intact

and gave you a chance.

However, you chose Wanning.

I wish you happiness.

I didn't choose her.

I just couldn't give up
on my mother and younger sister.

I know that well.

Just like how you abandoned me,

my father, and my brother,

right?

I won't expect more from you.

I'll eventually expose the evil deeds

you've done to the public.

Li.

Don't call me that again.

This time,
I find it disgusting for real.

Is this what you call
being forced by circumstances?

I need your help

regarding something.

Now you're asking for my help?

You're the only person
I trust to do this.

What is it?

Pick up my brother
at Eldest Princess' Residence.

Xue Zhao is still alive?

But he's barely alive.

After I get him, then what?

What about you?

I'm waiting for Jiuyue's reply.

If possible, please urge them.

Are you not afraid?

This isn't the first time.

Duke Su,

please make sure
my brother is safe first.

Little Leopard Cat
isn't adorable when it cries.

Duke Su,

you came personally to pick him up?

Where is he?

I've sent him to your residence.

[Duke Su's Residence]

Duke Su,

how could I possibly let
you and your people

see Xue Zhao walk out of here
with your own eyes?

I thought you'd

continue to keep this card
in your hands.

Duke Su,

you don't know me well.

I keep my promises.

Besides, the show has just begun.

Killing him and ending it so easily.

How could I let her have her way?

I want her to see her brother

become a cripple, unable to walk.

That's far more devastating
than simply killing him.

I'm afraid you're going
to be disappointed.

What do you mean?

She isn't as greedy as you.

As long as he's alive,
that's enough for her.

Don't call me that again.

This time,
I find it disgusting for real.

Yurong?

Mother asked me to bring you dinner.

Go have the servants

clean up the room I used to stay in.

Are you moving back?

Yes, I'm moving back.

That's great.

Would you like me
to get anything for you?

There's no rush.

You've lost weight and look even better.

Your Highness, you've also lost weight.

Have you thought it through?

Yes.

While in prison, I failed you. I deserve
a thousand deaths for my crime.

Tell me. What do you plan to do?

Xue Fangfei won't be sentenced to death.

The Jiang family and Xiao Heng
will find ways to save her.

She won't be imprisoned for long.

So?

No one can touch Xue Fangfei
in the Jiang family.

It might be better to retrieve her first

and place her in the Shen family's care.

What do you mean?

I'll request His Majesty to arrange
for me and Xue Fangfei to get married.

What was that?

I said,

I'll request His Majesty to arrange
for me and Xue Fangfei to get married.

Have you already planned to do this?

To reunite with your Mrs. Shen.

She ruined me, leaving me with nothing.

It was you who saved me,

restoring my honor and future.

I'm not a fool.

Why would I want to reunite with her?

If you have a Mrs. Shen,

how will you be my husband?

Your Highness, you are the princess.

If you were to marry me in the future,

you can demote her from wife to maid.

That way, she can serve you forever.

Your Highness, don't you want to see her

grovel at your feet?

Do you hate her that much?

I have no one but you now.

What does that mean?

Stand up and talk.

Adorning you

and puting your hairpin on
for you, my darling.

My darling.

This is the first time
you've given me a gift.

That's because you're noble

and have everything, including me.

We have to enjoy
this rare happiness to the full,

even with chrysanthemum flowers
all over our hair.

You really went to great lengths

to persuade me to agree to the marriage.

The marriage by decree is just an act,

aimed to please you, Your Highness.

If the Jiang family disagrees,

the emperor won't force them.

So, we need to find someone

to bring this up to His Majesty.

Who?

Consort Li.

This is an available pawn.

[Duke Su's Residence]

How is he?

Although the injuries are serious,

they are not life-threatening.

Currently, he is asleep

after taking some calming medicine.

What did the doctor say about his leg?

Can it be healed?

The doctor said he might need
to use crutches for the rest of his life.

Have you investigated Zhou Dezhao?

Anything on him?

Not yet. He has always been impartial.

Lady Jiang's false accusations
against a court official

have already been finalized.

The Court of Judicial Review
is currently discussing the sentence.

What about the Jiang family's reaction?

A spy found out

that the Secretariat Director
approached His Majesty,

who referred him to Zhou Dezhao.

Thus, the Secretariat Director is
at the Court of Judicial Review every day.

It seems the emperor intends
to remain a bystander.

Prepare my carriage.

Your Highness,
Eldest Princess is here.

Your Highness.

It's indeed rare for you

to visit me personally.

I'm a bit late.

I should have come earlier
to offer my well wishes

when Mrs. Jiang had her accident.

Your Highness, you must be here

for a reason.

Speaking of which,

if it weren't for you using
my sister as a pawn,

she wouldn't have ended up
in such a situation.

Even if I hadn't teamed up with her,

she would have clashed fiercely
with Jiang Li anyway.

She isn't Jiang Li's match.

It was Jiang Li who brought harm
to Mrs. Jiang.

What's the point
of bringing this up now?

I have an idea

for you to avenge your sister.

It depends on whether you're willing.

Say it.

Request His Majesty
to arrange for a marriage

between Jiang Li and Shen Yurong.

An arranged marriage?

What do you mean?

The Secretariat Director treasures
his daughter dearly,

and the Jiang family protects her well.

We can't touch her.

But Shen Yurong belongs to me.

If she comes to the Shen family,

then we'll have control over her.

That does sound like a good idea.

However, I won't let myself
be used as a pawn

by you like my sister was.

How could I possibly use you as a pawn?

At most, I'll threaten you.

What?

I heard

that there was a disturbance
of evil spirits in the imperial harem,

and the Office of Imperial Diviner
went to exorcise it.

Strangely, Consort Xian

passed away.

Besides the Imperial Diviner,

everyone else involved
from the Office of Imperial Diviner

has resigned and returned
to their hometowns.

That's so strange.

Where did they go?

You know,

and I know.

Speaking of which, I must thank you.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have thought
of this exorcism method,

which ended up causing
your sister to suffer so much.

Do you think I'm afraid of you?

You didn't root
out the problem back then,

so it's too late to be cruel now.

You sent a palace maid who knew
about the incident back home.

Later, I found her.

With a little coercion,

she would surely disclose
the whole truth

to His Majesty.

Simply persuading

His Majesty to arrange a marriage

is certainly easier than explaining

why you killed Consort Xian.

Once the matter is settled,

I will promptly return
the palace maid to you

for you to handle as you see fit.

Why stand there, Your Highness?

Come over and have some tea.

Your Majesty, are you going
to stay out of Jiang Li's case?

Do you really think I

have nothing better to do than
to meddle in such minor cases?

What if Wanning is involved in this?

I've previously instructed you

to watch over your pawns carefully.

Why would you need a dead pawn?

Why the rush?

They have yet to take action, right?

Xiao Heng, concern causes anxiety.

Your Majesty,

Her Highness Consort Li invites you
to a stroll in the imperial garden.

I should rest.

You can head back.

[Govern the people, serve Heaven]

I think your pawn

is calmer than you.

Shen Yurong has entered the palace.

Continue watching him.

Inform me as soon as there is any news.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

it's been a while

since we had a chance
to take a stroll together.

Yes.

I've been too busy lately.

I just finished dealing
with the alliance with Great Zhao,

and now there's another pile
of matters ahead.

[Hua'an Hall]
Are you talking about Second Lady Jiang

and Mr. Shen?

Their affairs are causing quite a stir.

It seems tensions are rising between
the Shen and Jiang families as well.

Mr. Shen and the Secretariat Director

are both trustworthy court officials.

They are both important to me.

I'm in a dilemma too.

I have an idea.

It can solve your concerns

and satisfy both
the Jiang and Shen families.

Speaking of which,
Li is my sister's daughter.

Despite their past

misunderstandings,

I've always considered Li as my niece.

A lady

in prison.

Her dignity and reputation are all gone.

It's heartbreaking to witness.

I sent someone to inquire
about the reason from Mr. Shen,

only to find out it was
all a misunderstanding.

What's wrong, Your Majesty?

I was thinking

what kind of misunderstanding it was.

I've sent someone
to invite Mr. Shen here.

Why don't we let him explain
to you in person?

Sure.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Highness Consort Li.

Consort Li told me the matter between
you and Li Jiang was a misunderstanding.

It was my fault.

After all, in this case,

a lady's reputation is more important.

I believe Lady Jiang acted
in a moment of confusion

rather than with malicious intent

I also implore Your Majesty
to pardon her

and refrain
from pursuing this matter further.

Do you truly not mind?

I naturally will not hold it
against Lady Jiang.

Mr. Shen, you're a gentleman

and magnanimous.

You're a fitting match.

With this incident,

Li's reputation
will likely be tarnished.

After she made such a mistake,

it may be difficult
for her to marry well.

She previously professed affection

for Mr. Shen.

Since Mr. Shen doesn't mind,

why don't you

arrange for them
to get married, Your Majesty?

I can resolve the matter

and preserve Li's reputation.

In that case,

it would indeed
be quite unfair to Mr. Shen.

If it can preserve
Lady Jiang's reputation,

I'm willing to heed Consort Li's words.

Marriage is a significant matter.

Naturally, I must inquire about
the Secretariat Director's opinion.

However, Mr. Shen has agreed not
to pursue the matter.

Issue a decree to the Court
of Judicial Review to dismiss the case,

release Jiang Li, and let
the Jiang family take charge of her.

Yes.

Let me ask the Secretariat Director.

If both families are willing,

I am more than willing
to accumulate merit

by arranging such a good match.

Okay, let's do as you say.

I am willing to go to the prison
and issue the decree

to release Lady Jiang.

Go ahead.

They want His Majesty
to decree an arranged marriage.

So, that's the plan
they've been working on.

My Lord,

should we return to the palace
or head to the prison?

Let's go to the prison directly.

Yes.

Second Lady Jiang, you may leave.

Let me escort her out.

Yes, Mr. Shen.

You've suffered for these few days.

Will you marry me?

Are you crazy?

Aren't you curious

why you were released?

His Majesty intends
to arrange for us to get married.

We love each other,

so what you did wasn't wrong.

Was this your plan from the beginning?

Yes.

So, you married me once,

killed me once,

and now you want
to marry me a second time

to kill me again?

What if I say

I'm protecting you this time?

Do you believe that?

I do.

Your words merely disgust me.

Li,

you can choose not to trust me,

but ultimately,
the emperor's decree cannot be defied.

I'll give you a ride home.

Think about what I said.

Your carriage leads
to the road to the underworld.

I dare not ride it again.

Are you planning to walk back
to the Jiang's Residence?

Someone will escort me.

My hand is cramping.

Loosen your grip a bit.

I won't move.

Just now, Shen Yurong said

that His Majesty wants
to arrange for me to marry him.

I heard about it.

It was Consort Li who initiated it.

How did she get involved?

Is she now allied with Wanning?

In the past, she wasn't,
but now I'm not certain.

I've already sent someone
to investigate.

Consort Li should know
how dangerous Wanning is.

Previously, Ji Shuran's downfall

was partly due to Wanning's failure.

Now that Consort Li is willing
to help Wanning,

there must
be some hidden motive behind it.

Don't overthink it for now.

Let's wait for news from the spy.

I'll take you to my residence first
to see your younger brother.

While we're at it, prepare an excuse
before returning to the Jiang family.

[Benefiting the people]

[Duke Su's Residence]

Fangfei.

Zhao.

Fangfei.

Everyone is saying that you're dead.

I thought you were dead, too.

And Father.

Did you see him?

Does he know about us?

Yes, he knows.

Father is doing well.

What about the gold mine
on Dong Mountain?

Are they still mining?

No.

No, Zhao.

You did a good job.

The blueprint you drew
has saved many lives.

I'm glad to hear that.

Fangfei, I want to ask...

That's enough.

First, focus on recovering
from your injuries.

I'll tell you everything gradually,

okay?

Zhao,

I'm not Xue Fangfei now.

I have a new identity.

I'm Jiang Yuanbai's daughter,

Jiang Li.

Jiang Li?

Fangfei,

I didn't realize
you've suffered so much.

It's all over.

You and Father are both alive.

That makes me happy.

Anyway,

why did I hear
you were killed by bandits?

After receiving the letter that day,

I didn't want Father to worry,

so I went to the capital alone
to find out the truth.

I felt something was amiss,

so I had someone write
to the magistrate in the capital.

Unexpectedly, on the way there,

I encountered a gang of bandits.

Who's lying in ambush here?

Show yourself now!

When I woke up,

I found myself in the private dungeon
of Eldest Princess' Residence.

I later discovered

Eldest Princess was behind this.

She never showed herself before

and just kept me locked
there without a word.

I thought

I'd die there
without anyone finding out.

I never thought someone
would come to my rescue.

Now, I get to see you again.

Father is also in the capital.

It seems that heaven

has left a path for us.

Fangfei, they say
after hardship comes comfort.

We've endured hardships,

so surely better days

lie ahead for us.

Focus on recovering.

If you need anything, send someone
to the Jiang's Residence to find me.

I need to go back
and handle some matters for now.

Okay.

Father, I'm back.

I knew you were coming back,

and I was planning to go pick you up.

However, you weren't there.

Duke Su came to pick me up.

He asked me
about the details of the case,

so that took some time.

Why did Duke Su suddenly get involved?

Perhaps it was related
to Eldest Princess,

so he came to ask me some questions.

I know you and Duke Su

often contact each other.

Since you trust him,

I won't say much more.

But about clearing your name

did Wanning have something on you?

I know because
of what happened in the past,

you don't trust me at all.

But we're still father and daughter.

If you need anything,
you can always come to me.

Even if the sky were to fall,

I'd protect you.

This sudden change in testimony

must've embarrassed you.

I thought you'd blame me.

I've known your temperament
for a long time.

Your actions may seem reckless,

but you always have your reasons.

Since I've decided
to come back and help you,

I've also decided to trust you.

If you want to explain, go ahead.

If you don't, just tell me

what I can do to help.

Father,

now that the matter with
Eldest Princess has been resolved,

there's no need for you
to worry about it.

However, there's another
urgent matter at hand now.

What is it?

the emperor intends to arrange
for me to marry Shen Yurong.

When did that happen?

I just heard it from Shen Yurong
while I was in prison earlier.

What do you think?

I'm unwilling,

but the emperor has agreed
to the marriage.

A formal decree hasn't been issued yet.

Consort Li has been entrusted
with handling the specifics.

Consort Li took the initiative
to handle the marriage arrangements.

Her sudden involvement

may involve ulterior motives.

the emperor arranging a marriage

is a matter of bringing glory
to one's ancestors.

From past dynasties to now,

there has never been a precedent
of refusing such an arrangement.

The groom

is Shen Yurong,

who I claim to have feelings for.

If you refuse
the marriage arrangement's suggestion,

Consort Li can
make a huge issue out of it.

Resisting the imperial decree

could place you in a difficult position.

Is Mother doing well?

Besides being senile,

she's otherwise fine.

Mother and Consort Li need to meet up.

Given Ji Shuran's current condition,

I'm afraid she may not be able
to persuade Consort Li.

Let's give it a try first.

Please make the arrangements, Father.

No problem.

My Lord, I've found
the information you requested.

The spy reported

overhearing Wanning and Consort Li

discussing the supernatural events
that occurred in the palace years ago.

The death of Consort Xian?

Yes, the spy reinvestigated

and realized there's more to it.

Evidence?

We're still investigating whether any
of the palace maids who were released

back then knew what happened.

Since Wanning has approached Consort Li,

she likely has the evidence in hand.

Start investigating her.

Should we inform His Majesty about this?

No need.

His Majesty may be in the know.

Then we need to conduct
the investigation discreetly,

but it might take some time.

I'm afraid by the time
we find out the truth,

Consort Li might've already
arranged the marriage.

I'll promptly proceed
with the investigation.

Tell Li about this.

Yes.
