[Palace of Heavenly Purity]

All of you are back.

When E Min, Fu Lun and, your courtier had just arrived at the city gate,

we saw them rushing back to the palace.

Thus, we brought them back instantly.

I believe they had reasons for breaking out of prison.

Please investigate, Your Majesty.

What happened to the three of you?

Why are your faces hurt?

Royal Father, you're so cruel!

It might be easier if you had just killed us,

as the pain would be short.

But you put us in a dark and smelly place instead.

Cockroaches bit our fingernails, while mice bit our toe nails.

At night, a bunch of ghosts cried with us.

We couldn't even sit still, stand still, or sleep soundly.

As if that wasn't enough,

you even sent the greedy Lord Liang who holds a grudge against us to interrogate us.

He forced us to sign an affidavit. He whipped us when we refused!

Royal Father, how could you do this to us?

How resentful are you that you want us dead?

Since I entered the palace,

there were many times when I wanted to sneak away and never return.

But I stayed because you were so kind.

If I'd known you would treat us like this,

Ziwei and I wouldn't have made this huge mistake.

We shouldn't have tried to reunite with you.

Interrogate you?

I haven't even decided if you should be interrogated.

Who dared to do that?

It was Lord Liang.

He said that you ordered him to interrogate us.

Royal Father, look.

Look.

Look at our wounds.

Look.

Royal Father, you caused us these wounds.

Could they be fake?

Are you that determined to kill us?

Did we commit such a heinous crime?

Fu Heng!

Bring Lord Liang here! Now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

We've made another unforgivable mistake.

We faked an imperial edict, hurt others and broke out of prison.

We know that we're getting into a much bigger trouble,

and it's already out of control.

We planned to escape together today.

Our carriage had left the city,

but we still decided to return and face Your Majesty.

We came back to repent,

confess, and accept our punishment.

We don't care if you kill us.

We came back

because we believed that Your Majesty is kind.

We believe that in the time we shared,

all that we learned and admired in Your Majesty was right.

If we really can't escape death this time,

please spare Prince Yongqi and the Fu brothers.

They were dragged into this

since the day they knew us, which is why they did this today.

Enough, you're badly hurt.

Take a rest at Shu Fang Zhai Palace now.

Summon the imperial doctor now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

If Your Majesty doesn't forgive Prince Yongqi and the Fu brothers,

I will stay kneeling and not get up.

They faked an imperial edict and broke into the prison.

That's a severe crime!

How could I spare them merely because you pled for them?

You can barely care for yourself now!

Stop trying to save others!

Since the Fu brothers dared to be so bold, I can't forgive them!

Your Majesty.

Considering my family's loyalty, please let them go this once.

They are my only sons.

Your Majesty, luckily we broke into the prison.

Otherwise, the three of them would've been dead by now!

Royal Father, when I reached the prison, they were all hung on chains.

The whip dipped in brine landed cruelly on their bodies.

They're ladies.

If the people knew that we tortured them like that,

it would bring shame to the Qing dynasty!

It would bring shame to Royal Father too.

Moreover, one of them was crowned Princess Pearl by Your Majesty,

while the other is your own daughter.

How can they be killed before the truth is even unveiled?

Royal Father!

Everything that happened today was all because of me.

I will answer for what I've done.

I don't care anymore!

As long as you spare them, I'll give up my head!

Do you think I won't dare to behead you?

Indeed.

All the problems and crimes started with you.

This could've all been avoided if you hadn't impersonated the princess!

Fine, you want to die for them?

I'll make it happen.

Guards! Behead Princess Pearl!

Royal Father!

Please don't do this!

Why did you return when I told you not to?

His Majesty's kind, you say?

You were just being stubborn! Why did you have to return to seek your own death?

- Please pardon her, Your Majesty. - Please pardon her, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, did you forget the promise you made me?

No matter what Xiao Yanzi does, you will pardon her from death!

An emperor stands by his words!

I said I'd pardon her from death.

But she's asking to die on behalf of you all right now.

We don't want that. We'll die together!

How dare you threaten me?

Do you really think I can't bear to kill you all?

Your Majesty, we knew coming back would be a losing battle!

But our only hope was your compassion!

Royal Father, what did I do wrong?

You've deceived the emperor by impersonating a princess!

How dare you ask that?

But you've never acknowledged me as your daughter.

You only told the people that I'm your adopted daughter.

Since I'm adopted, of course I'm not a real princess.

You've never taken me as your real daughter.

So, I never deceived you.

If you believed that I was your daughter but said I was adopted instead,

aren't you deceiving the people then?

- Your Majesty, we've caught Liang Tinggui. - Have mercy. Have mercy, Your Majesty.

Please spare me, Your Majesty.

Who had you interrogate Xiao Yanzi at night?

- Tell me! - It was...

It was you, Your Majesty.

What did you say?

When did I ask you to interrogate them?

It was a secret order.

I was to make them sign a guilty affidavit. After that...

What, then?

Kill all of them.

Who gave you the order? Where's the secret decree?

It was given to me verbally.

By whom?

I dare not say.

Say it!

It was a eunuch.

Fu Heng, behead him this instance!

Your Majesty, there will be no witness then.

Why not let him live?

Your Majesty can't kill me without evidence.

Have mercy, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I found this in the prison.

Execute him immediately! And confiscate all his property!

As you command!

Spare my life, Your Majesty!

Spare my life! Your Majesty!

Get up, all of you.

I'm having a headache and stomachache because of this.

Erkang, Ertai, summon the imperal doctor to treat the three of them now!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Royal Father, you're not killing me?

You've made your point.

People will start talking if I killed you.

Then, have you forgiven all of us?

You've threatened me to kill all six of you together.

Xiao Yanzi, it's not big deal for me to kill a tricky girl like you,

but I made a promise not to kill you.

As for the others, I do feel reluctant to kill them.

Ziwei, brilliant.

You won the bet with the only bargaining chip you had on hand.

I knew that I would win.

I've always known that I would win.

I...

Ziwei!

Ziwei!

Doctor, save my daughter, quick!

Doctor!

Ziwei.

[Shu Fang Zhai Palace]

Your Majesty.

Poor girl, you've suffered again.

Consort Ling, you're here too.

Where's the medicine? Didn't the doctor said to feed her medicine once she's awake?

Here it is.

I was heating it up.

Young Miss, you're awake.

Hurry up! The doctor said to take the medicine at once.

Here, let me feed her.

Xiao Yanzi, Jinsuo, you're both hurt.

Both of you should rest and eat your medicine too.

I know.

We'll rest after she has taken the medicine.

I'm not that weak.

I'll take it myself.

Hey, stop being stubborn.

The doctor said that your old injuries haven't recovered and now you have new ones too.

If you don't recuperate well, you may never fully recover.

Go rest and take your medicine too.

You're so pale. Your dark circles are starting to show.

Leave it to me.

Your Majesty, let me tell you this.

When Xiao Yanzi snuck out of the palace the first time

to tell me how she was mistaken as the princess,

she said that you fed her medicine yourself.

She fainted at that thought.

She couldn't resist being a princess.

I envied her when I learned of that.

I told her in tears that I'd die with no regrets

if you fed me medicine too.

I never thought I'd live to see this day.

I'm about to faint myself.

Don't faint again.

I was really frightened by that.

You've been waiting long and hard for this day.

You're covered in wounds and bruises because of that.

Thinking back, you had tried to give me hints several times,

but I didn't get it.

You were like a riddle to me.

But I never tried to solve the riddle.

I sent the three of you to jail that day

because the empress was too aggressive.

I was lost in confusion.

All I could think of was to punish you first

and decide what to do later.

I never thought

I'd be pushing you towards danger.

Watching you covered in old and new wounds

makes my heart ache dearly.

Your Majesty, please don't.

All the pain was worth it

to see this day come.

Are you still calling me as Your Majesty?

Shouldn't you change the way you call me?

I daren't do so.

I'm uncertain if you will acknowledge me.

Silly girl.

Where else could I find such a good daughter like you?

You have all the artistic talents.

You're just like a copy of me.

You're as capable as I am.

Who else would I acknowledge as my daughter if not you?

Royal Father!

Her wait is over! She did it! She has finally found her father.

Madam, I've completed the task you gave me at last.

You may rest in peace now.

I've finally returned the true princess to him!

I've returned the true princess to him!

Royal Father, I may have made a lot of mistakes,

but I finally brought Ziwei back to you.

So, you've made up for your faults.

I finally understand why you're always worried about losing your head.

Luckily, your head's not going anywhere.

Come and greet Princess Ziwei now.

Humble maidservants at your command, Your Highness.

Long live Your Highness!

- She did it! - She did it!

Here comes Her Majesty!

[Shu Fang Zhai Palace]

Respects to Royal Mother.

Greetings from Fu Ertai, Fu Erkang, to Your Majesty.

Respects to Your Majesty.

So, you're all here.

Was it fun to break into prison?

My dear empress, you came just in time.

I was planning to see you at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.

- Respects to Her Majesty. - Respects to His Majesty.

Your Majesty, are you having a family gathering at the Shu Fang Zhai Palace?

You're right.

I've just reunited with Ziwei. She's a princess now.

Your Majesty, why are you going around acknowledging princesses?

What are you thinking?

As long as I'm happy,

I can make every girl who lost their fathers a princess.

Even Xiao Yanzi knows, "We should love all children as if they were our own."

A true empress is one who has a generous heart like that.

Your Majesty, I'm going to give you a piece of unpleasant advice again.

Save it! Or you'll regret it.

I will never.

I'd rather die

than to watch Your Majesty be deceived by liars.

Your Majesty, please open your eyes.

Don't get confused by these two girls who came from nowhere.

You're not punishing Prince Yongqi who broke into the prison.

You're letting the Fu brothers free after they faked an imperial edict

and helped the prisoners escape!

You even executed the loyal Liang Tinggui and confiscated his property.

Your Majesty, you don't take interest in the rights and wrongs

but keep listening to two girls and a bunch kids.

Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?

How dare you!

Your Majesty, do you also want

to behead me?

Did you give this secret order?

Do you want to kill everyone you suspect?

How cruel of you.

I will not execute you, as you are the empress.

Since I gave you the title, I won't kill you.

But you're unethical and selfish. It's despicable.

I could remove your title,

but I won't do that.

I'll hand you to the Imperial Clan Court and let them investigate this carefully.

The place is said to be dark and smelly.

Cockroaches there bite your fingernails

and mice bite your toe nails.

You may enjoy yourself there with Nanny Rong

while you're being interrogated.

Your Majesty, please don't go against His Majesty.

You've been married for over 20 years.

You should cherish the fate that brought you two together.

This is a destined blessing.

Your Majesty, you know how Her Majesty is like!

She does everything for your sake!

I'm fed up with hearing those words! It's useless now.

Empress, you will go to the Imperial Clan Court tomorrow!

It's decided.

Your Majesty, what have I done wrong?

You sent a fake imperial edict

and ordered Lord Liang to punish the two princesses and a maidservant.

You also conspired to harm Consort Ling and Fu Lun.

Aren't these enough?

Your Majesty, I absolutely didn't ask Liang Tinggui to punish them.

I only ordered him to settle the case as soon as possible.

He was the one who caused trouble himself.

I'm afraid there's no one to testify for you now.

Even if I did give the order,

I only wanted to eliminate harm for you.

How could you say that even now?

It seems you're hopeless.

I must sentence you now.

- Erkang! - Yes, Your Majesty.

Take the empress to the Imperial Clan Court.

Lock her up now!

Please stay calm, Royal Father.

She is the mother of our nation.

You can't do this to her no matter what she did wrong.

Please don't be angry, Royal Father.

Please don't be angry, Your Majesty!

- Please stay calm, Father.- Please don't be angry, Your Majesty.

What are you doing?

If you won't take my advice, I'd rather become a nun!

Your Majesty, what are you doing?

Why are you doing this?

Even if you torture yourself,

only I will feel your pain!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please back up.

Be cautious of the scissors.

Your Majesty!

Royal Mother, you mustn't!

Royal Mother!

Don't do that!

Your Majesty, you can't do this!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, don't do this.

Don't do this, Your Majesty.

You can't do this. How could you do this?

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty,

you may hate me now,

but I believe that you will like me one day.

The Manchurians cherish their hair the most.

If it's not a national mourning, one must never cut their hair.

Hair is like a symbol of the Manchurians.

Your Majesty,

no matter how upset you are,

please don't ever cut your hair.

Nanny Rong, take good care of Her Majesty.

Royal Father, we've just reunited.

Please don't fight with Her Majesty for my sake.

The Imperial Clan Court has already once imprisoned two princesses.

Please don't send Her Majesty there too.

Thank you.

Nanny Rong.

Nanny Rong.

I'll no longer hold you accountable for breaking into the prison.

The three of you should behave yourselves in future.

The two girls are slowly recovering.

I have another crisis to handle now,

which is the marriage between Erkang and Saiya.

Your Majesty, I can't marry Saiya.

Please think twice about this.

I'm clear of what's in your mind.

Think about it. I'm fond of Ziwei.

Why would I marry her lover to a Tibetan princess?

But an emperor can't go back on his word.

You, Ziwei and I must all make some sacrifices.

This is the price we must pay as a courtier and a leader of a nation.

Royal Father, there must be another way.

Ziwei and Erkang love each other dearly.

Ziwei once told Erkang this.

"Only when the mountains level to the ground and heaven and earth become one will I part with you."

How will you level the mountains and make heaven and earth become one?

The both of them will only part when that day arrives.

"Only when the mountains level to the ground and heaven and earth become one will I part with you."

Really? Did Ziwei say that?

Your Majesty, please hold a martial arts competition again.

Tell all the single nobles to take part it in.

Maybe Saiya and Baleben will find a better candidate.

This may just work.

I need to think about it.

Saiya, where are you going?

My kung fu may not be as good but not my levitation skills.

Princess Pearl, come on.

Sure. I'll sink you underwater.

Water? I'll make your nose stuffed with morning glory.

Morning glory and stuffed nose?

That's more ridiculous than the ridiculous things I say!

That's funny.

Erkang, where did you go? I couldn't find you.

Saiya, come to me if you want your whip.

I'll only return it to you if you can catch up.

Where are you going? I'll sink you underwater!

Come on, Saiya!

Princess of Tibet, your whip is here!

Come on!

Fine, let's see who's better.

Princess of Tibet, you're slow. Catch up if you want your whip.

Enough, I surrender.

Are all the girls in Tibet as pretty as you?

(Tibetan)

Catch me if you can. I'm the best at riding horses.

You're tooting your own horn like a proud bull.

What a brag.

Horn? Bull?

Of course, bulls have horns.

Why would they not?

You and Xiao Yanzi might just be twins.

One was made a princess by the Tibetan King,

while the other ended up in Beijing as Princess Pearl.

Xiao Yanzi doesn't even know who her parents are.

I think we should look into it, starting with you.

What are you mumbling?

I said you're cute.

Ladies in the Central Plain are all very gentle.

I've never met someone so barbaric!

My leg is broken. I can't move!

Where does it hurt? I didn't mean to.

- You did! - I really didn't.

Can you move? Are you all right?

Men in the Central Plain don't get hurt that easy.

You lied? Men in the Central Plain are vicious!

Come on.

I like the blue skies in Beijing.

I like the clear rivers in Beijing.

I like the green fields in Beijing too.

Does that mean you like warriors in Beijing the most?

Yes, I do.

Erkang isn't the only warrior in Beijing.

I like this warrior the most!

What can I do?

I've spoiled Saiya too much.

She said she has made a mistake.

Nothing can make her marry Erkang now.

She's set on marrying Ertai.

Your Majesty, please tolerate her.

They're brothers anyway.

Keep Erkang for your princess instead.

This is inappropriate. A promise is valuable like gold.

Gold? That's okay.

I will prepare 10,000 gold as dowry.

Then I can't say no to that.

[Palace of Heavenly Purity]

I asked all of you here today

to let you know my decision on the matter regarding Princess Pearl.

All of you are aware that Xiao Yanzi was mistaken as a princess

when she came here wounded.

Ziwei should've been the real Princess Pearl.

Today, I officially renounce Xiao Yanzi's title.

But I've always liked Xiao Yanzi

since the very first day she came to the palace.

Instead, I announce her Commandery Princess Pearl

and she shall marry Prince Yongqi.

Thank you, Royal Father.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm used to you calling me Royal Father.

You're never escaping the palace anyway.

And you'll still have to call me Royal Father as my daughter-in-law.

So, don't change the way you call me.

Yes, as Royal Father commands.

Thank you for your grace, Royal Father.

As for Ziwei,

I officially title her Princess Bright Pearl.

She shall marry Fu Erkang.

Thank you for your grace, Royal Father.

Thank you, Royal Father.

Fu Ertai shall be officially titled a beizi from now on. (T/N: Beizi is noble rank, known as the prince of the fourth rank)

He'll be marrying Princess Saiya of Tibet.

Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.

The case of Princess Pearl finally ends here.

As you return to your positions, I hope you find your happiness.

My happiness comes from my children's happiness.

Congratulations on your family reunion, Your Majesty!

Long live Your Majesty!

Congratulations on returning home, Princess Bright Pearl!

Long live Your Highness!

The horses in Tibet are way better than the horses in Beijing.

Your horses can't run fast.

Says who? The horses in Beijing are the best!

Much better than Tibetan horses!

Forget it. You're just like what Ertai said.

You're a proud bull with horns.

What do you mean?

Xiao Yanzi, don't force yourself. You're a new learner.

You might fall.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by 🌹Fair Princesses🌹 @Viki

Ertai, I really can't thank you enough.

No need to thank me.

Saiya is cute in her own way.

In fact, she and Xiao Yanzi are really alike.

I think she can make up for my loss.

Ertai, I should be the one saying that

I can't thank you enough.

I'll accept both your gratitude for now. You'll have to pay me back in the future.

How about that?

Deal.

If you need us one day, we'll risk our lives to help you.

Don't make it so serious.

It's love and life we're talking here. How is it not serious?

What's wrong with you guys? Why are you so slow?

I won't risk my life.

I'm not good at horseback riding yet. What if I fall down?

Moreover, the weather is nice today.

It's windy but not too cold or too hot.

Immersing in the moment and soaking in the slow horse ride is worth savoring too, isn't it?

Immerse? Soak?

There's no wine or meat, what's there to savor?

Our strength has melted into paste. We can't move. (T/N: Reference to Xiao Yanzi's nonsense talk in previous eps)

Are we having a feast? That's great.

Is the paste tasty? I've only tried milk paste before.

I'm starving already. My mouth is watering!

Where will we eat?

Oh no.

We've got Xiao Yanzi who's always speaking in tongues

and now, we have a Tibetan!

I'm so happy right now I could sing!

Let's sing together.

Me too!
