=Episode 37=

00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:38.580
Fifth Prince, do you want
to change into dry clothes

00:01:38.580 --> 00:01:39.780
in Changqiu Palace?

00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:42.460
If I follow you looking like this

00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:43.860
to Changqiu Palace,

00:01:44.180 --> 00:01:45.540
I can't imagine what others would say

00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:47.460
about us if they saw us together.

00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:48.340
When that happens,

00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:49.420
it'll be hard for us
to explain ourselves.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:50.940
Why not?

00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:52.660
If someone asks you about it,

00:01:52.940 --> 00:01:54.620
just tell them the truth.

00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:56.300
It'll only work if they believe it.

00:01:56.300 --> 00:01:57.900
There's nothing between us...

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:01.940
It's indeed as Chun Tiao said.

00:02:02.140 --> 00:02:03.940
Fifth Brother and Lady Cheng

00:02:03.940 --> 00:02:06.100
had a tryst.

00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:09.660
Fifth Prince,

00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:11.100
what's going on?

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:13.220
What happened to your clothes?

00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:13.940
Father, I...

00:02:14.220 --> 00:02:16.060
Isn't it already obvious, Father?

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:17.740
Chun Tiao just said

00:02:17.740 --> 00:02:20.540
Fifth Brother and Lady Cheng
had a tryst.

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:23.860
Lady Cheng, how greedy can you be?

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:24.860
You're already betrothed to Zisheng.

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:26.860
How could you play around
with my Fifth Brother?

00:02:27.460 --> 00:02:28.300
Fifth Sister,

00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:29.940
don't try to implicate people.

00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:31.500
I didn't have a tryst
with Cheng Shaoshang.

00:02:31.500 --> 00:02:33.140
There's nothing going on between us.

00:02:33.140 --> 00:02:34.580
It's not your first time having a tryst

00:02:34.580 --> 00:02:36.340
with other young ladies in the palace.

00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:38.420
Since when you were innocent?

00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:40.460
Could it be you're afraid
Zisheng will come after you?

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:42.020
Is that why you don't dare to admit it?

00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:44.260
Fifth Brother,
stop giving excuses anymore.

00:02:44.260 --> 00:02:45.780
Everything that you and Lady Cheng did

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:47.460
was seen by Chun Tiao.

00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:49.860
Chun Tiao, tell everyone

00:02:49.940 --> 00:02:51.460
what you saw.

00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:52.620
Chun Tiao,

00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:54.340
tell the truth.

00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:56.900
I didn't see it clearly.

00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.860
I only heard Fifth Prince call
Lady Cheng

00:03:00.860 --> 00:03:01.860
"beauty."

00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:04.140
Ah, I remember now.

00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:05.540
I was reciting the Classic of Poetry.

00:03:05.540 --> 00:03:07.500
Do you even know any poems
from the Classic of Poetry?

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.100
You were clearly too drunk
to restrain yourself

00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:11.700
and acted indecently with Lady Cheng.

00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:13.100
Absolute rubbish!

00:03:13.100 --> 00:03:15.180
It was clearly one of your lady guests
who tricked me.

00:03:15.260 --> 00:03:16.620
She tricked me by saying
there was a beauty waiting

00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:18.180
for me at Jingxin Lake!

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.580
Fifth Brother,
you can't drag me into this

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:23.380
just to get rid of the suspicion.

00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:30.940
I want all of you to stand forward

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:33.740
and let Fifth Brother see you.

00:03:33.820 --> 00:03:35.740
Rest assured. If you recognize her.

00:03:35.820 --> 00:03:37.180
I'll have her flog to death right away.

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:38.700
Why...

00:03:39.220 --> 00:03:40.860
Why is she not here?

00:03:41.140 --> 00:03:42.140
Fifth Brother,

00:03:42.140 --> 00:03:44.220
you must be confused
because you were drunk.

00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:46.060
It was Lady Cheng who asked you out.

00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:47.460
In my opinion,

00:03:47.660 --> 00:03:49.420
any young lady with immoral behavior

00:03:49.420 --> 00:03:50.940
should be beaten to death.

00:03:51.140 --> 00:03:52.780
So as not to be an eyesore to everyone.

00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:53.740
Keep quiet!

00:03:53.820 --> 00:03:55.500
Today is your mother's birthday banquet.

00:03:55.740 --> 00:03:58.180
Why are you clamoring here?

00:03:59.100 --> 00:04:00.900
Do you still respect your mother?

00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:05.020
Shaoshang, tell me.

00:04:05.220 --> 00:04:06.780
What exactly had happened?

00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:13.660
Your Majesty.

00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:15.580
When I was passing by Jingxin Lake,

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:17.940
I saved Fifth Prince
who fell into the lake by chance.

00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:18.860
That's right.

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:20.700
Who would even believe that?

00:04:21.020 --> 00:04:21.940
Do you believe it?

00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:22.940
Enough!

00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:26.340
Your Majesty,
I'm feeling a little tired.

00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:27.380
I won't return to the banquet.

00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:29.460
I shall return and get some rest
in Changqiu Palace.

00:04:29.460 --> 00:04:30.900
I shall take my leave now.

00:04:40.380 --> 00:04:41.740
Today's the empress's birthday banquet.

00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:44.100
I can't believe
someone would cause trouble.

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:46.300
I'm not letting
this matter go that easily.

00:04:46.380 --> 00:04:47.060
Someone!

00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:47.940
Your Majesty,

00:04:48.460 --> 00:04:50.540
it's after all
Her Majesty's birthday banquet.

00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:52.700
The officials are still waiting
inside the hall.

00:04:52.780 --> 00:04:55.780
It's not the time to pursue this matter.

00:04:55.860 --> 00:04:58.460
Everything should be decided tomorrow.

00:05:01.940 --> 00:05:04.860
For the sake
of the empress's birthday banquet,

00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:05.860
I

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:08.020
shall let all of you go for now.

00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:10.020
After the birthday banquet is over,

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:11.580
I'll settle scores with all of you.

00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:20.060
It's a happy occasion today.

00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:21.700
Let's go back
and continue with the celebration.

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:24.820
This is not over yet, Cheng Shaoshang.

00:05:25.140 --> 00:05:26.460
Wait and see.

00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:38.540
The weather is too cold.

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:40.060
I'll head back
to change my clothes first.

00:05:55.700 --> 00:05:56.820
Are you all right?

00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:58.380
Do you trust me?

00:05:58.580 --> 00:05:59.580
Of course.

00:06:01.260 --> 00:06:02.380
That's all that matters.

00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:04.100
I'll go and check on Her Majesty first.

00:06:58.460 --> 00:06:59.540
Last night,

00:06:59.820 --> 00:07:01.540
you were not in a good mood.

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.140
You didn't manage to sleep
after tossing and turning all night.

00:07:06.260 --> 00:07:07.260
Don't worry about me.

00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:08.380
But you,

00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:10.180
you need to rest well.

00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:12.300
You woke up so early.

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:14.220
How can I continue sleeping?

00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:16.220
It's all right.

00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:18.780
You must sleep a little more.

00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:28.780
Why are you up so early?

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.260
Shaoshang,

00:07:30.340 --> 00:07:32.620
you've worked hard
for the birthday banquet.

00:07:32.740 --> 00:07:34.100
After not returning home
for several days,

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:37.060
I'm sure your parents miss you
very much.

00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:39.100
Why don't you pack your things

00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:40.620
and go home?

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:43.820
Thank you, Your Majesties.

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:49.340
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:50.740
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:51.340
Your Highness!

00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:52.660
I'm going to kill you!

00:07:52.780 --> 00:07:54.260
You can't just barge in!

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:55.660
I'm going to kill you!

00:07:55.660 --> 00:07:56.620
Outrageous.

00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:58.700
How dare you clamor in Changqiu Palace?

00:07:58.700 --> 00:08:00.060
Where are your manners?

00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:03.740
Fifth Princess?

00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:07.620
Why do you look like a mess?

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:11.100
I was rash

00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:13.020
because I was also irritated.

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:15.300
What happened to you?

00:08:15.660 --> 00:08:17.300
I was drunk last night.

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:18.940
I planned to spend the night
at Longyuan Garden in Yongle Palace

00:08:18.940 --> 00:08:20.540
and leave the palace in the morning.

00:08:20.540 --> 00:08:21.660
Who knows

00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:22.940
Cheng Shaoshang actually...

00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:24.420
She actually...

00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:26.740
Father. Mother.

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:29.500
It's Cheng Shaoshang's fault
for pulling this dirty trick.

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:31.940
I invited those noble ladies
into the palace.

00:09:32.020 --> 00:09:34.220
They did contribute by performing
during your birthday banquet.

00:09:34.340 --> 00:09:36.180
Yet, they had to suffer
such humiliation.

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:38.540
Mother must seek justice for me.

00:09:38.540 --> 00:09:39.700
What justice?

00:09:40.060 --> 00:09:42.500
How can you prove
it was Shaoshang who did it?

00:09:42.780 --> 00:09:44.820
I asked Longyuan Garden palace servants
who were on night duty.

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:45.940
They said Cheng Shaoshang

00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:48.180
went there before dawn this morning.

00:09:48.780 --> 00:09:50.100
Did anyone see

00:09:50.180 --> 00:09:51.940
her set up all those?

00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:53.220
Even if no one saw,

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:54.940
who else if not her?

00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:56.460
Only she knows

00:09:56.460 --> 00:09:57.940
how to set up all those mechanisms.

00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:59.380
If I may I ask Fifth Princess,

00:10:00.140 --> 00:10:01.300
why would I do that?

00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:04.100
Why do I have to spend
so much effort to do this?

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:05.580
Because we push you...

00:10:12.540 --> 00:10:13.380
Enough.

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:14.580
Since you have no proof,

00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:16.580
stop making groundless accusations here.

00:10:16.900 --> 00:10:19.140
Go back and get yourself cleaned up.

00:10:19.180 --> 00:10:20.860
Go now. Look how dirty you are.

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:21.900
Mother.

00:10:22.140 --> 00:10:23.660
Instead of standing up for me,

00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:25.540
you're protecting Cheng Shaoshang.

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:27.660
I'm your daughter, not her.

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:29.060
Are you done shouting?

00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.220
When you hate Her Majesty trying
to restrain you,

00:10:33.780 --> 00:10:37.060
you will escape living freely
at Princess's Mansion.

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:39.300
I've never seen you being filial to her.

00:10:40.140 --> 00:10:42.220
Now when you need Her Majesty
to stand up for you,

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:43.500
only then

00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:46.140
do you remember you're
Her Majesty's daughter.

00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:47.300
Heng, why are you...

00:10:47.300 --> 00:10:48.300
Your Majesty,

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:50.860
the incident happened
in Longyuan Garden, in my palace.

00:10:51.060 --> 00:10:53.060
How can I not get involved?

00:10:53.260 --> 00:10:54.660
That's why I'm here.

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:57.020
Cheng Shaoshang set up traps
in Longyuan Garden

00:10:57.460 --> 00:11:00.060
and made the whole place dirty.

00:11:00.380 --> 00:11:01.780
Consort Yue, you must punish her.

00:11:03.380 --> 00:11:04.300
Well,

00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:07.740
I don't need you to tell me what to do.

00:11:11.300 --> 00:11:13.420
This wastewater and whipping
are still not enough

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:15.820
to make you realize your mistake.

00:11:15.900 --> 00:11:17.340
If you're still confused,

00:11:18.060 --> 00:11:19.900
I can grant you another bucket.

00:11:21.020 --> 00:11:22.020
Consort Yue.

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:23.860
I may not be your birth daughter.

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:26.220
But you can't be this unreasonable.

00:11:26.380 --> 00:11:27.540
You're doing this to me

00:11:27.540 --> 00:11:28.180
because

00:11:28.180 --> 00:11:29.940
I refused to marry into your Yue Family.

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:30.900
Fifth Princess.

00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:36.380
What's so great about your Yue clan?

00:11:36.380 --> 00:11:38.500
All you did was go to war with Father
and make some accomplishments.

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:39.540
Everyone did that.

00:11:39.540 --> 00:11:41.620
Even my mother is not
as arrogant as you.

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:42.540
Shut up.

00:11:43.580 --> 00:11:44.700
Stop spouting nonsense.

00:11:45.660 --> 00:11:46.820
Who are you

00:11:47.260 --> 00:11:48.620
to discuss the Xuan
and the Yue clan's accomplishments?

00:11:48.780 --> 00:11:50.580
Do you think forbidding me
from saying it

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:52.580
will stop the people
from speaking of it?

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:54.780
Even the aides in my mansion know

00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:55.580
that the Yue clan

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:57.940
flaunts their power
over their past achievements

00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:00.220
and attempts to oppress Changqiu Palace!

00:12:00.380 --> 00:12:01.340
Keep quiet!

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.260
Child!

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.620
Heng,

00:12:08.140 --> 00:12:10.460
I failed to teach my daughter well.

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:11.940
I'm sorry.

00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:13.140
Mother,

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.660
don't blame yourself.

00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:16.900
The more you tolerate her,

00:12:16.900 --> 00:12:18.660
the more she gets ahead of herself.

00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:20.860
You were worried about Father
and suffered all grievances alone.

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:22.500
I can never endure such grievance!

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:24.140
All these years, do they still remember

00:12:24.140 --> 00:12:25.180
that you are the empress?

00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:25.940
You!

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:28.580
All Father does all day
is flirt with Yue Heng.

00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:29.940
He doesn't care about us
from Changqiu...

00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:38.340
Your Majesty,

00:12:39.020 --> 00:12:40.100
forgive me.

00:12:40.940 --> 00:12:42.780
Fifth Princess had made
such impertinent remarks.

00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:44.420
I had

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:46.820
to teach her for you.

00:12:49.780 --> 00:12:51.500
How dare you slap me?

00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:54.020
You set Cheng Shaoshang up

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:56.380
during your mother's birthday banquet.

00:12:56.940 --> 00:12:58.580
Is it wrong for me to slap you?

00:12:58.580 --> 00:12:59.820
You're spouting nonsense!

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.020
No one has any evidence!

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.180
I do!

00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:15.700
What's...

00:13:16.380 --> 00:13:17.300
Your Majesty,

00:13:17.900 --> 00:13:18.780
this person was brought into the palace
by Fifth Princess

00:13:18.780 --> 00:13:20.540
for the dance performance.

00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:21.860
Just now,

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:23.340
she has confessed everything.

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:24.860
Everything

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:27.220
was ordered by Fifth Princess.

00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:31.220
Fifth Princess knows my fiancee

00:13:31.380 --> 00:13:32.740
is trying to sober up at Jingxin Lake.

00:13:33.020 --> 00:13:34.940
She deliberately tricked
Fifth Prince there

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:37.500
to set up my fiancee
and Fifth Prince having a tryst

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:38.940
so she could ruin
my fiancee's reputation.

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:40.340
Fifth Prince

00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:42.820
and this young lady

00:13:43.380 --> 00:13:44.660
can be witnesses to this incident.

00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:48.020
Father. Mother.

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:49.460
It was her.

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:51.700
She was the one

00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.580
who tricked me to go to Jingxin Lake.

00:13:55.300 --> 00:13:56.260
Tell me.

00:13:56.940 --> 00:13:58.340
What exactly had happened?

00:13:58.780 --> 00:13:59.700
That's right.

00:13:59.900 --> 00:14:00.820
Speak.

00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:02.740
Did I order you to do it?

00:14:03.660 --> 00:14:05.620
You better watch what you say.

00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:10.260
I...

00:14:10.380 --> 00:14:11.420
Speak!

00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:19.140
Father,

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:21.420
she's the Palace Aide's daughter.

00:14:21.420 --> 00:14:22.900
I invited her into the palace

00:14:22.900 --> 00:14:24.580
as an honored guest
at Mother's birthday banquet.

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:25.740
Now she fainted

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:27.060
after being framed.

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:29.740
Someone.

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:31.140
Send her back to her father

00:14:31.460 --> 00:14:32.540
and discipline her!

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:33.300
Father,

00:14:33.300 --> 00:14:34.660
Fifth Sister obviously threatened her

00:14:34.660 --> 00:14:35.860
until she fainted.

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:37.180
Everything was ordered by Fifth Sister!

00:14:37.180 --> 00:14:38.060
Enough already.

00:14:38.060 --> 00:14:39.180
You bastard.

00:14:39.180 --> 00:14:40.340
How dare you have a shot at me?

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.140
What did you call me?

00:14:41.140 --> 00:14:42.260
Shut your mouth!

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:44.380
What did you say?

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:46.060
He's your Fifth Brother!

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.860
How dare you shame your brother?

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:50.060
In your eyes,

00:14:50.060 --> 00:14:51.860
do you have no family affections

00:14:52.020 --> 00:14:54.140
and me as your father?

00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:56.060
Father, I wasn't criticizing you.

00:14:56.060 --> 00:14:57.300
But him!

00:14:57.420 --> 00:14:58.660
Brother?

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:00.940
His mother is only a lowly palace maid.

00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:03.460
She climbed into your bed
while you were drunk.

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:05.140
That was the reason

00:15:05.140 --> 00:15:07.060
palace maid are not allowed
to serve in your palace hall anymore

00:15:07.180 --> 00:15:08.020
and never visit

00:15:08.020 --> 00:15:09.940
the filthy place both mother
and son live!

00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:12.660
Father,

00:15:12.740 --> 00:15:15.140
I'm the direct descendant
of Changqiu Palace.

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:16.940
How could you take
these filthy people's side

00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:18.700
to say I'm to be blamed?

00:15:18.820 --> 00:15:21.540
How can there be truth coming
from these filthy people's mouths?

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.820
That's enough!

00:15:24.140 --> 00:15:25.660
When I was young,

00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:27.420
I went through difficult times

00:15:27.780 --> 00:15:29.900
so my children could live a better life.

00:15:30.060 --> 00:15:31.140
I didn't expect

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:34.100
you'll turn out so arrogant!

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:36.340
You were heartless to your brother

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:38.180
and disrespectful to Consort Yue

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:39.900
and your father.

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:40.900
You actually

00:15:40.900 --> 00:15:43.620
frame others on the day
of my birthday banquet.

00:15:44.060 --> 00:15:45.140
Now,

00:15:45.380 --> 00:15:47.140
even if your father forgives you,

00:15:47.260 --> 00:15:48.900
I'll never let you go easily!

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:50.020
Someone!

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:52.220
Mother,

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:54.420
I'm your flesh and blood.

00:15:54.420 --> 00:15:55.540
How could you...

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:57.380
Father,

00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:58.940
you can't just blame me alone.

00:15:59.140 --> 00:16:01.020
There's no grudge
between Cheng Shaoshang and me.

00:16:01.020 --> 00:16:02.700
Consort Yue's
Longyuan Garden looks exquisite.

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:04.180
Putting aside
that the noble ladies and I

00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:05.420
were splashed with wastewater
in Longyuan Garden

00:16:05.420 --> 00:16:07.100
for no reason at all.

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:08.380
We were also thrashed by twigs

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:09.940
and mugwort ashes dumped on us!

00:16:10.140 --> 00:16:11.740
Shouldn't she be punished for that?

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:15.140
No grudge, you say?

00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:16.180
The day before,

00:16:16.180 --> 00:16:18.420
you and those young ladies pushed
Cheng Shaoshang into the lake.

00:16:18.580 --> 00:16:20.540
Did you think no one know about it?

00:16:20.820 --> 00:16:22.740
Unexpectedly, I know

00:16:22.740 --> 00:16:23.620
everything that happens

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:25.620
in the palace!

00:16:34.300 --> 00:16:35.500
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:37.500
it looks like

00:16:37.660 --> 00:16:39.580
you've kept many things in your heart.

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.340
Your Majesties,

00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:50.420
I've committed a crime.

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:53.220
I indeed set up the traps at dawn.

00:16:54.460 --> 00:16:55.260
See?

00:16:55.540 --> 00:16:57.220
She admitted she did it.

00:16:59.180 --> 00:17:00.500
I'm willing to be punished.

00:17:01.020 --> 00:17:03.020
Fifth Princess knew I couldn't swim.

00:17:03.140 --> 00:17:04.540
But they still pushed me into the lake.

00:17:04.580 --> 00:17:05.740
They also threw rocks at me

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:07.260
to stop me from going ashore.

00:17:08.340 --> 00:17:09.300
So

00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:11.380
I did it to get even with her.

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.260
Since you were going
to revenge for yourself,

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:15.420
why did you wait until today?

00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:17.420
Consort Yue,

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:19.340
Her Majesty's birthday banquet
was an important event.

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:21.260
I can't disregard Her Majesty's dignity

00:17:21.260 --> 00:17:22.700
because of my personal grudge.

00:17:22.820 --> 00:17:24.500
I waited until Her Majesty's
birthday banquet was over.

00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:26.820
Only then do I seek my revenge.

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.100
Fifth Princess,

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:30.780
I splashed you with wastewater

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:33.380
because you made me swallow
a lot of lake water.

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:34.820
I used twigs to thrash you

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:36.740
because you ruined Her Majesty's
birthday banquet

00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:38.260
by framing me.

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:40.540
I'll take those whipping
as your punishment.

00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:42.900
Finally,

00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:46.460
did the ashes make you realize
your mistakes yet?

00:17:47.020 --> 00:17:48.140
Judging from your behavior,

00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:49.940
I guess not.

00:17:52.060 --> 00:17:53.180
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:55.940
I should've killed you
with poisonous snakes that day!

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:57.420
So you won't be alive

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.820
to humiliate me so!

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:00.660
You even released snakes?

00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:04.540
I...

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:07.740
Fifth Princess,

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:10.740
you released snakes to bite my fiancee.

00:18:11.300 --> 00:18:12.540
What an atrocious deed.

00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:14.660
After you leave the palace,

00:18:15.380 --> 00:18:17.260
I'll definitely prepare
a huge "gift" for you.

00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:20.300
You don't scare me.

00:18:20.340 --> 00:18:23.220
I'm a princess.
You can't do anything to me.

00:18:24.580 --> 00:18:26.220
Father. Mother.

00:18:26.580 --> 00:18:28.460
Cheng Shaoshang is nothing
but a military general's daughter.

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:30.020
So what if she dies?

00:18:30.020 --> 00:18:30.940
As a princess,

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:31.900
killing someone

00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:34.500
is just similar to killing an ant!

00:18:35.100 --> 00:18:37.340
How are their lives considered precious?

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:38.700
Father. Mother.

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:39.900
Why do you keep taking their sides

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:41.780
and not your child's side?

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:45.500
You're mad.

00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:47.340
You're totally out of your mind!

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:50.140
Do you still deserve
to be someone's child?

00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:53.620
Do you deserve to call her mother?

00:18:54.260 --> 00:18:56.300
You treated Cheng Shaoshang
in such an atrocious manner.

00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:58.260
Even she knows how to be patient

00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:00.340
and waited
until the birthday banquet ended

00:19:00.340 --> 00:19:01.660
to settle scores with you.

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:02.900
But what did you do?

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:05.380
During your mother's birthday banquet,

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.900
you chose to frame others
with your malicious plot.

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:10.340
Treacherous and unfilial!

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:14.340
Get out. Get out of Changqiu Palace.

00:19:14.340 --> 00:19:15.300
Your Majesty.

00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:17.340
Go back to your Princess's Mansion!

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:21.340
If you still want to save
our mother-daughter relationship,

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:22.820
get out now!

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:23.900
Someone!

00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:25.460
Take Fifth Princess

00:19:25.780 --> 00:19:27.060
to the imperial mausoleum.

00:19:27.260 --> 00:19:29.300
Let her reflect on her mistakes

00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:31.220
in front of the ancestors for the day!

00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:32.780
Only then can you return
to your Princess's Mansion!

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:34.260
From now on,

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.660
without my decree,

00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:38.580
you're forbidden from leaving
your Princess's Mansion!

00:19:39.660 --> 00:19:40.500
Father,

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:41.660
I'm not wrong!

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:43.620
I've been framed, Father!

00:19:43.780 --> 00:19:44.860
Mother!

00:19:45.060 --> 00:19:46.460
Chase her out!

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.620
Father!

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:48.860
Father!

00:19:50.100 --> 00:19:51.860
Cheng Shaoshang, I'll never forget this!

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.660
Your Majesty!

00:19:52.820 --> 00:19:53.700
Your Majesty!

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:55.220
- Your Majesty.
- Empress.

00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:56.460
Cheng Shaoshang, just you wait!

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:57.940
Hurry, bring her inside.

00:19:58.060 --> 00:20:00.820
Get lost! Get out of here!

00:20:04.100 --> 00:20:05.100
Shen'an.

00:20:07.820 --> 00:20:08.780
Hold it right there.

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.220
Lady Luo.

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:14.940
Fifth Princess has
Their Majesties to punish her.

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:16.820
What about Chun Tiao?

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:18.500
She shouted the moment
she entered the hall

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:21.100
that Cheng Shaoshang
and Fifth Prince had a tryst.

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:22.780
How are you going to punish her

00:20:23.060 --> 00:20:24.380
for such an instigation?

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:33.500
Consort Yue,

00:20:33.780 --> 00:20:34.780
I never thought

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:37.060
Chun Tiao would do such a thing.

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:39.260
A scheming maidservant like this,

00:20:39.540 --> 00:20:40.860
I dare not keep her.

00:20:41.780 --> 00:20:44.300
Tomorrow, I'll request Father
and Brother to sell her off.

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:46.500
Northwest or southern border

00:20:47.020 --> 00:20:48.020
is fine with me.

00:20:51.820 --> 00:20:53.340
I had no idea

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:56.060
that you were this decisive.

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:58.260
I've underestimated you.

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:02.060
It looks like things are getting

00:21:03.020 --> 00:21:04.700
more and more interesting
in Changqiu Palace.

00:21:06.300 --> 00:21:07.220
I

00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:09.780
shall watch how all of you keep this up.

00:21:59.780 --> 00:22:01.500
You cried asking me
to hug you that night.

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:03.580
Was it because they bullied you

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:05.380
and felt wronged?

00:22:07.300 --> 00:22:09.260
If Fifth Princess
didn't accidentally slip it out,

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:13.260
how long are you planning
to hide this from me?

00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:18.500
Those weren't venomous snakes.

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:20.580
They were just common water snakes.

00:22:21.260 --> 00:22:22.780
They're often seen in the countryside.

00:22:22.860 --> 00:22:24.260
What about pushing you into the lake?

00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:26.700
Why didn't you tell me?

00:22:27.780 --> 00:22:29.060
What if one day

00:22:29.540 --> 00:22:31.140
they wanted to take your life?

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:33.780
Are you not going to tell me either?

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.940
Shaoshang,

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:38.260
who do you see me as?

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:40.500
Why do you always act on your own

00:22:41.540 --> 00:22:42.580
and don't trust me?

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:44.700
It's not I'm not willing to trust you.

00:22:45.580 --> 00:22:46.300
I was just...

00:22:46.300 --> 00:22:48.300
You just don't think I'm important.

00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:00.020
After betrothing to you,

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:03.940
I'd often think

00:23:05.060 --> 00:23:06.700
it'd be nice

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:09.300
if I could be your confidant

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:12.020
and support.

00:23:12.820 --> 00:23:14.620
You could share with me

00:23:14.620 --> 00:23:16.220
all your fears and loneliness.

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:18.780
I'm not trying to control you.

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:21.420
I just hope you can be honest with me.

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:25.860
But I can't seem
to make you warm up to me.

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:28.940
Why must a young lady wait

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:30.540
for her fiance to save her?

00:23:31.020 --> 00:23:32.900
Why can't we save ourselves?

00:23:33.820 --> 00:23:35.820
It's not a serious matter to me.

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:37.260
I can completely take care of it.

00:23:38.820 --> 00:23:40.060
It was similar

00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:42.380
to the fight I had with Wang Ling
because she insulted me.

00:23:42.620 --> 00:23:43.780
Did I tell anyone about it?

00:23:44.300 --> 00:23:45.300
When I dismantled the bridge
to vent my anger,

00:23:45.300 --> 00:23:46.580
did I tell anyone about that too?

00:23:48.660 --> 00:23:50.180
I've always been like this.

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.900
Why can't I be myself after knowing you?

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:54.940
But those were just fighting
between normal families.

00:23:55.580 --> 00:23:56.780
This is the imperial palace.

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:58.380
What if you lost your life
because of your reckless behavior?

00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:59.700
What should I do?

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:02.180
I can avenge your death after that.

00:24:02.380 --> 00:24:03.700
But when that happens,

00:24:04.100 --> 00:24:05.140
can you still come back to life?

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:06.820
You brought me to the imperial palace.

00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:08.780
Everything is because of you

00:24:08.780 --> 00:24:09.940
that I run into these dangers.

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:12.020
So you think this is my fault.

00:24:17.060 --> 00:24:18.660
So this is how you truly feel.

00:24:20.300 --> 00:24:21.420
You don't trust me.

00:24:22.100 --> 00:24:23.700
Sometimes, you'd even fear me.

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.100
Yes.

00:24:28.100 --> 00:24:29.220
I'm afraid of you.

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:33.100
But I want to get close to you too.

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:36.620
These feelings
don't contradict each other,

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:38.020
do they?

00:24:40.020 --> 00:24:41.780
I've been given the cold shoulder
for so many years.

00:24:42.780 --> 00:24:44.580
Even if I want to love you,

00:24:44.820 --> 00:24:46.580
I still need time to accept it.

00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:47.780
I can't rush in this matter.

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.540
I finally understand

00:24:51.540 --> 00:24:52.660
you like Lou Yao

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:54.460
because he can't hurt you.

00:24:55.060 --> 00:24:57.340
You feel comfortable and carefree
when you're with him.

00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:00.220
But I forced you to stay.

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:04.420
You became fearful of me

00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:08.620
and even hated me.

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:14.660
You won't even regard me
as someone close to you.

00:25:17.820 --> 00:25:19.860
I shouldn't have made you stay.

00:25:24.020 --> 00:25:25.460
I should have known this earlier.

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.620
Ling Buyi.

00:25:29.260 --> 00:25:30.340
Ling Zisheng,

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:32.220
I've always been like this.

00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:34.100
I've always acted alone
and sought revenge.

00:25:34.540 --> 00:25:35.820
Didn't you say

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:37.500
you love me for this?

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:39.340
Why are you behaving this way now?

00:25:39.340 --> 00:25:41.180
Why must you make me change?

00:25:41.620 --> 00:25:43.060
I'm Cheng Shaoshang

00:25:43.060 --> 00:25:44.300
instead of a young lady

00:25:44.300 --> 00:25:46.380
who's Ling Zisheng's fiancee!

00:25:54.660 --> 00:25:55.620
I know.

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.860
You don't have to change.

00:26:10.100 --> 00:26:11.260
(It's not like that.)

00:26:14.300 --> 00:26:16.180
(I no longer hate the imperial palace)

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:18.340
(and I've also accepted you.)

00:26:19.860 --> 00:26:22.340
(But why can't you accept me
for who I am?)

00:26:42.580 --> 00:26:43.660
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:26:44.340 --> 00:26:46.180
to vent your anger,

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:47.340
look at what you did

00:26:47.340 --> 00:26:49.780
to Yongle Palace.

00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:52.140
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

00:26:53.300 --> 00:26:54.820
I was willful

00:26:54.820 --> 00:26:56.220
and only wanted to vent my anger.

00:26:56.900 --> 00:26:59.060
But I forgot that my action
would ruin Yongle Palace.

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:02.140
I'll think of a way
to atone for my crime.

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.700
No need.

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.740
Consort Yue told me

00:27:05.860 --> 00:27:07.460
that Zisheng had dispatched
the imperial bodyguards

00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:09.580
to repair Yongle Palace.

00:27:09.580 --> 00:27:10.540
He mustn't.

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:12.260
I did it.

00:27:12.300 --> 00:27:13.540
So I'll take the responsibility myself.

00:27:13.540 --> 00:27:14.620
Don't let Zisheng...

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:23.820
A couple is one body.

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:25.660
If you truly see Zisheng

00:27:25.860 --> 00:27:27.660
as your future husband,

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:29.420
then His Majesty and I

00:27:29.780 --> 00:27:32.860
are considered your parents-in-law.

00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:36.740
When someone hurts and frames you,

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:39.940
you shouldn't hide it
and act on your will.

00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:44.140
If you don't see His Majesty
and me as your elders

00:27:44.140 --> 00:27:46.940
and don't treat Zisheng
as your loved one,

00:27:47.260 --> 00:27:49.420
we'll feel bitterly disappointed.

00:27:50.780 --> 00:27:52.500
If only Your Majesty could tell me

00:27:54.340 --> 00:27:57.260
all these earlier, it'd be better.

00:27:58.940 --> 00:28:00.700
But I've already hurt
everyone's feelings.

00:28:01.860 --> 00:28:03.460
It's useless to say anything now.

00:28:10.620 --> 00:28:11.620
Shaoshang,

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:15.740
it's not too late

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:17.140
to learn

00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:20.100
how to love Zisheng.

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:22.900
Your Majesty,

00:28:23.100 --> 00:28:24.820
how do you plan to punish

00:28:25.060 --> 00:28:27.740
those young ladies
who pushed Shaoshang into the lake?

00:28:28.260 --> 00:28:29.540
Shaoshang may

00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:31.620
have avenged herself.

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:33.100
But they behaved impudently

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:35.220
in the palace.

00:28:35.340 --> 00:28:36.940
It shows they must be

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:41.180
arrogant and willful outside the palace.

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:43.500
Fifth Princess is fearless
because she has backups.

00:28:44.300 --> 00:28:47.100
It's because I'm careless in teaching
and spoiling her too much.

00:28:47.540 --> 00:28:49.580
Those young ladies
who dare to bully you in the palace

00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:51.900
must also lack discipline.

00:28:52.260 --> 00:28:53.380
I'll have to investigate

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:54.700
their fathers and brothers.

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:58.460
Let's see if they also bully others
because of their power.

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:28.060
He can't see me.

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:29.540
He can't see me.

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:31.300
He can't see me.

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:33.460
He can't see me.

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:34.700
He can't see me.

00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:35.780
He can't see me.

00:29:35.860 --> 00:29:36.860
He can't see me.

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.540
He can't see me.

00:29:38.540 --> 00:29:39.180
He can't see me!

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:40.620
Ling Buyi, what are you trying to do?

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:41.780
This is the palace.

00:29:41.780 --> 00:29:43.020
Are you going to strike a prince?

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:44.260
Besides,

00:29:44.340 --> 00:29:46.260
I've told you everything this morning.

00:29:46.260 --> 00:29:48.700
Cheng Shaoshang
and I didn't have a tryst.

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:53.340
Didn't you get to the bottom
of everything today?

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.620
I have no ulterior motives

00:29:54.620 --> 00:29:56.420
toward your Cheng Shaoshang.

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:57.300
Even if I did,

00:29:57.620 --> 00:29:58.660
I wouldn't even dare to think about it

00:29:58.860 --> 00:30:00.140
with you like this.

00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:02.300
What are you doing?

00:30:02.300 --> 00:30:02.900
Don't hit me!

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.740
Fifth Prince,

00:30:04.580 --> 00:30:06.540
do you know the young ladies

00:30:07.620 --> 00:30:08.740
who pushed Shaoshang into the lake?

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.620
I do.

00:30:13.020 --> 00:30:14.100
Of course, I know them.

00:30:14.340 --> 00:30:16.700
Fifth Princess only has
those several playmates.

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.940
How could I not know them?

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.940
All right.

00:30:22.020 --> 00:30:23.260
I'll need to trouble you

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:26.140
to leave the palace with me today.

00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.940
Ling Buyi!

00:30:31.300 --> 00:30:32.580
Are you mad?

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:34.900
Why are you tying me up?

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:36.700
I... When...

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:38.620
Have I ever offended you?

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:39.220
(Censorate)

00:30:39.260 --> 00:30:40.500
You must not think

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:41.780
you can go against the law

00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:44.220
just because you've made
some accomplishments.

00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:45.900
I won't let you go off the hook!

00:30:46.060 --> 00:30:47.380
Just you wait!

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:51.460
Send for the physician!

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:53.340
It's hurting me!

00:30:53.340 --> 00:30:55.020
Official Zuo, you feel wronged.

00:30:55.580 --> 00:30:56.940
Why don't you ask your daughter

00:30:57.740 --> 00:30:59.460
what she did?

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:02.500
I...

00:31:02.580 --> 00:31:05.380
I only followed Fifth Princess's order

00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:08.100
to bump Cheng Shaoshang.

00:31:08.100 --> 00:31:09.660
Was it his daughter

00:31:10.100 --> 00:31:12.260
who pushed your fiancee into the lake?

00:31:12.260 --> 00:31:13.380
She didn't do only that.

00:31:14.780 --> 00:31:16.540
She even released
venomous snakes into the lake

00:31:17.260 --> 00:31:19.140
to bite my fiancee.

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:21.220
This is

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:23.940
just a joke among the young ladies.

00:31:24.220 --> 00:31:25.940
Why did you have to cause trouble
at the Censorate

00:31:26.140 --> 00:31:27.500
over a small matter like this?

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:30.140
Do... Do you even fear the law?

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:31.540
I'm only joking around with you

00:31:31.540 --> 00:31:34.220
like men too.

00:31:34.580 --> 00:31:35.700
Official Zuo,

00:31:36.020 --> 00:31:37.380
fight back.

00:31:37.620 --> 00:31:38.820
Fight back?

00:31:39.860 --> 00:31:42.860
How... How can I fight back?

00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:45.140
I'm a civil official.

00:31:45.780 --> 00:31:46.820
Ling Buyi,

00:31:47.260 --> 00:31:48.340
don't think

00:31:48.340 --> 00:31:49.940
His Majesty dotes on you

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:51.940
means you can do anything you want.

00:31:52.300 --> 00:31:54.500
This is the Censorate

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:56.580
and I'm the Palace Aide
to the Censor-in-chief.

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.780
My duty is to submit memorials

00:31:57.900 --> 00:31:59.260
admonishing the monarchs and officials.

00:31:59.260 --> 00:32:00.500
If you harm me,

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:02.820
I'll impeach you

00:32:03.580 --> 00:32:06.060
and request His Majesty

00:32:06.580 --> 00:32:07.860
to punish you by law!

00:32:08.420 --> 00:32:10.020
Punish by law?

00:32:11.300 --> 00:32:13.300
Am I not punishing you by law now?

00:32:13.340 --> 00:32:14.260
You...

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:23.820
No! No!

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:26.180
No!

00:32:29.180 --> 00:32:30.100
Don't!

00:32:40.020 --> 00:32:41.460
Stop beating me. Stop it.

00:32:47.300 --> 00:32:49.540
Stop! Stop beating!

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.740
Official Yuan.

00:32:53.420 --> 00:32:55.380
As the Attendant Gentleman
of the Ministry of Justice,

00:32:56.100 --> 00:32:57.820
how can you just stand there and watch?

00:32:57.820 --> 00:32:59.700
As the Attendant Gentleman
of the Ministry of Justice,

00:32:59.900 --> 00:33:01.740
I'd naturally handle
this case indiscriminately.

00:33:02.060 --> 00:33:03.020
Official Zuo, rest assured.

00:33:03.220 --> 00:33:05.620
With a scroll and a brush,

00:33:05.820 --> 00:33:06.940
every time he hits you,

00:33:07.260 --> 00:33:08.300
I'll record it once.

00:33:08.500 --> 00:33:09.780
If he hit you twice,

00:33:10.140 --> 00:33:11.580
I'll record it twice too.

00:33:12.580 --> 00:33:15.020
Are you going
to let him keep hitting me?

00:33:15.180 --> 00:33:16.060
Yes.

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:17.500
Not only must he hit you,

00:33:17.860 --> 00:33:19.100
but he must also hit you harder.

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:22.380
The harder he hit,
the more severe his crimes are.

00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.700
Official Zuo,

00:33:24.020 --> 00:33:25.100
please endure it for a while.

00:33:25.260 --> 00:33:28.740
I'll record every crime he commits.

00:33:29.380 --> 00:33:32.020
I'll definitely punish him severely
at the Ministry of Justice.

00:33:32.180 --> 00:33:34.020
Thank you, Official Yuan.

00:33:35.020 --> 00:33:35.900
Fei,

00:33:36.540 --> 00:33:37.620
serve him some tea.

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:48.700
Serve me one too.

00:33:57.300 --> 00:33:58.220
Rest assured.

00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:00.820
I'll record everything clearly.

00:34:02.420 --> 00:34:03.180
Stop beating me!

00:34:03.340 --> 00:34:05.300
Stop! Stop it already!

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:08.140
My daughter wasn't the only one

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:10.740
who played tricks on Lady Cheng!

00:34:11.140 --> 00:34:12.140
Ling Buyi,

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:14.860
why are you only beating me?

00:34:15.540 --> 00:34:18.020
The other seven officials
had been punished.

00:34:18.140 --> 00:34:19.100
Please rest assured.

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:21.820
Our Young Master is a fair person.

00:34:22.140 --> 00:34:23.540
He'd never discriminate
against one and the other.

00:34:37.300 --> 00:34:38.700
I want you to drag them

00:34:38.740 --> 00:34:40.020
and parade them in the capital.

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:41.700
Today, I want

00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:43.740
everyone in the capital to know

00:34:44.140 --> 00:34:45.820
if they don't discipline
their children properly,

00:34:46.540 --> 00:34:48.140
this will be the consequence!

00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:51.420
Official Yuan,

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:53.860
listen to me carefully.

00:34:54.140 --> 00:34:55.340
This case is a serious matter.

00:34:56.180 --> 00:34:57.140
It involves

00:34:58.180 --> 00:34:59.740
all eight officials!

00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:01.300
I've already recorded them.

00:35:02.140 --> 00:35:03.140
Seven officials.

00:35:04.180 --> 00:35:06.220
Too many to record.

00:35:08.140 --> 00:35:09.540
I've already investigated

00:35:10.140 --> 00:35:13.020
that these seven officials
were involved in corruption.

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:16.900
I'll hand over the evidence
so they can be trialed.

00:35:17.660 --> 00:35:18.620
Rest assured.

00:35:20.340 --> 00:35:22.380
If I record one less offense,

00:35:23.020 --> 00:35:25.620
I shall change my name
to Mr. Yuan Kind Heart.

00:35:34.620 --> 00:35:37.420
But it was Fifth Princess
who ordered us to do it.

00:35:37.740 --> 00:35:38.660
That's right!

00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:41.700
Fifth Princess was the one
who instigated it.

00:35:42.380 --> 00:35:44.540
Yet, you're only taking it out on us.

00:35:45.300 --> 00:35:46.300
Ling Buyi,

00:35:46.660 --> 00:35:48.860
you're a coward

00:35:49.060 --> 00:35:50.460
who fears those with power!

00:36:01.740 --> 00:36:02.700
Ling Buyi,

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:04.100
what do you want to do this time?

00:36:13.460 --> 00:36:15.740
I'll take care of Fifth Princess myself.

00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:18.580
You don't have to worry.

00:36:18.780 --> 00:36:20.780
He broke my leg!

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:24.180
Ling Buyi!

00:36:24.620 --> 00:36:27.580
I... I'll never let you go!

00:36:27.940 --> 00:36:29.820
Is everything arranged
on Fifth Princess's side?

00:36:30.180 --> 00:36:31.140
Yes, Young Master.

00:36:31.540 --> 00:36:33.500
We'll let the whole capital
know about it

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:37.100
and completely shame Marquis Yue.

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:48.700
(Princess's Mansion)

00:37:03.220 --> 00:37:04.260
Fifth Princess,

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:05.860
please go inside.

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:10.900
Why are you still here?

00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:13.780
His Majesty told me

00:37:13.780 --> 00:37:16.220
to watch you enter your mansion.

00:37:16.620 --> 00:37:17.580
Please go inside.

00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:22.580
Father and Mother
wouldn't ground me for a long time.

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:25.540
They were just trying to scare me
because they were upset.

00:37:27.260 --> 00:37:28.860
His Majesty told me

00:37:28.860 --> 00:37:31.620
to make sure you return
to the Princess's Mansion.

00:37:31.620 --> 00:37:34.140
It shows His Majesty's resolution.

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:36.060
What a joke.

00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:39.260
What can a eunuch like you do to me?

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:43.500
I may be a eunuch.

00:37:43.700 --> 00:37:47.100
But if I had His Majesty behind me,

00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:50.220
I wouldn't feel weak

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:53.620
or feel that my body is incomplete.

00:37:54.300 --> 00:37:55.700
I would do

00:37:55.700 --> 00:37:58.020
what should be done well.

00:37:58.620 --> 00:37:59.660
Fifth Princess,

00:38:00.180 --> 00:38:01.260
please go inside.

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:33.900
Aides without virtues

00:38:34.060 --> 00:38:36.900
instigated the princess's misconduct,

00:38:37.020 --> 00:38:39.140
which is punishable by death!

00:38:40.580 --> 00:38:42.540
His Majesty said,

00:38:42.900 --> 00:38:45.900
"Fifth Princess belongs
to the royal family

00:38:46.180 --> 00:38:49.420
and shouldn't behave willfully.

00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:51.780
As the princess,

00:38:52.020 --> 00:38:54.660
since you received an official salary
from the people,

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:58.620
you should set an example
of filial piety for the world.

00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:03.300
Should you fail
to reflect upon your mistakes,

00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:08.780
these aides won't be the only ones
who will die in the future."

00:39:14.660 --> 00:39:15.740
I

00:39:16.020 --> 00:39:18.180
shall obey!

00:39:34.900 --> 00:39:35.300
Get out!

00:39:35.300 --> 00:39:36.220
Marquis Yue, calm down.

00:39:37.580 --> 00:39:38.540
It's me.

00:39:52.340 --> 00:39:55.340
Why are you so upset?

00:39:59.300 --> 00:40:01.700
Ling Buyi advised His Majesty

00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:05.700
to execute Princess's Mansion's
kept men.

00:40:10.700 --> 00:40:12.940
Kept men!

00:40:13.500 --> 00:40:15.100
This dissolute girl of the Xuan clan

00:40:15.100 --> 00:40:16.700
is the world's

00:40:16.700 --> 00:40:18.780
biggest joke!

00:40:20.020 --> 00:40:21.180
Look what happened now.

00:40:21.460 --> 00:40:23.140
The whole world now knows

00:40:23.140 --> 00:40:25.260
Fifth Princess has been keeping men.

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:27.180
It's a total disgrace

00:40:27.180 --> 00:40:29.820
to our Yue clan!

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:32.460
My Lord, please calm down.

00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:35.740
Those are aides, not kept men.

00:40:36.060 --> 00:40:36.860
It's not like you said.

00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:38.220
Oh, just keep quiet!

00:40:38.620 --> 00:40:39.900
The Xuan clan obviously...

00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:43.900
The Xuan clan obviously used that

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:46.140
to cover up for Fifth Princess.

00:40:46.140 --> 00:40:47.380
How can you even believe that?

00:40:51.100 --> 00:40:53.020
A young lady

00:40:54.020 --> 00:40:57.020
who doesn't stay home to learn how
to be a virtuous wife and mother.

00:40:57.500 --> 00:40:59.100
She insisted on having hangers-on

00:40:59.340 --> 00:41:00.420
and raising kept men around her.

00:41:00.420 --> 00:41:01.740
What does she mean by that?

00:41:02.060 --> 00:41:03.740
If it's not for pursuing pleasure,

00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:04.740
don't tell me

00:41:06.180 --> 00:41:07.900
she wants to bring down the Crown Prince

00:41:07.900 --> 00:41:10.060
and take over his seat?

00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:11.500
Fifth Princess

00:41:12.140 --> 00:41:13.860
was only upset with the Crown Prince

00:41:14.220 --> 00:41:15.860
for being a disappointment.

00:41:16.220 --> 00:41:20.060
Being a disappointment is one thing.

00:41:21.500 --> 00:41:23.740
If he really ascends the throne,

00:41:26.700 --> 00:41:29.140
it'll bring disaster to the country
and the people.

00:41:33.260 --> 00:41:34.340
I heard

00:41:34.660 --> 00:41:35.860
Third Prince

00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.020
has good conduct, is upright,
and outspoken.

00:41:39.020 --> 00:41:41.940
Even His Majesty praises him endlessly.

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:45.140
Don't even bring up my nephew.

00:41:45.340 --> 00:41:47.300
He's a complete fool!

00:41:47.740 --> 00:41:49.500
About Madam Wen Xiu
minting coins without permission,

00:41:49.740 --> 00:41:52.940
he had to expose Third Princess.

00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:56.180
He said he wouldn't favor
his family over justice.

00:41:56.180 --> 00:41:57.940
See how foolish he is?

00:42:02.100 --> 00:42:03.100
Marquis Yue,

00:42:04.540 --> 00:42:06.020
that's all the more reason

00:42:06.380 --> 00:42:09.300
Third Princess is the true successor.

00:42:10.060 --> 00:42:11.380
Most of the monarchs in this world

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:13.260
are upright people.

00:42:14.180 --> 00:42:15.140
Marquis Yue,

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:17.020
there will be good news

00:42:17.540 --> 00:42:19.180
in the future.

00:42:36.060 --> 00:42:38.700
As long as the Crown Prince
is still in my way,

00:42:39.180 --> 00:42:40.460
I won't be getting

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:44.860
any good news in my life.

00:43:06.220 --> 00:43:07.620
I've already said

00:43:08.220 --> 00:43:09.580
Fifth Sister is unreasonable.

00:43:09.700 --> 00:43:11.100
She'd definitely cause a huge problem.

00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:13.340
Look what happened?

00:43:13.580 --> 00:43:15.380
She made Mother ill from anger.

00:43:16.060 --> 00:43:17.460
Last night in the military camp,

00:43:17.460 --> 00:43:19.300
His Highness was too distressed
to sleep.

00:43:19.580 --> 00:43:21.340
Luckily, Zisheng advised Father

00:43:21.340 --> 00:43:23.300
to execute Fifth Sister's aides.

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:26.340
Mother, you have no idea
how unpleasant the things people said.

00:43:26.820 --> 00:43:28.420
I can't even bear to tell you about it.

00:43:31.300 --> 00:43:32.660
They said

00:43:33.020 --> 00:43:35.380
the aides had handsome faces
and strong physiques

00:43:35.620 --> 00:43:37.220
that Fifth Princess favored them.

00:43:37.540 --> 00:43:40.180
They would sing, play, and hunt often.

00:43:40.380 --> 00:43:42.420
Those aristocratic families
with strict upbringing

00:43:42.580 --> 00:43:44.940
won't even allow their daughters
to visit the Princess's Mansion.

00:43:44.940 --> 00:43:46.740
Why are you telling Mother all these?

00:43:47.860 --> 00:43:48.740
Mother,

00:43:48.740 --> 00:43:50.140
don't take it to heart.

00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:52.820
Fifth Sister was only confused
for a moment there.

00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:54.300
We can just advise her after this.

00:44:09.620 --> 00:44:12.220
Your Highness didn't want Mother to know

00:44:12.380 --> 00:44:13.940
because you considered
Mother's feelings.

00:44:14.820 --> 00:44:16.060
But I think

00:44:16.060 --> 00:44:18.060
she won't learn
if she's not punished severely.

00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:19.580
Spoiling will make her worse.

00:44:19.860 --> 00:44:21.660
Crown Princess, you should stop talking.

00:44:22.740 --> 00:44:24.540
People advise to comfort others.

00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:26.100
But your advice

00:44:26.340 --> 00:44:28.020
makes people upset.

00:44:28.500 --> 00:44:30.340
You're doing this
because Her Majesty is kind

00:44:30.340 --> 00:44:31.740
and won't be angry with you.

00:44:31.900 --> 00:44:33.460
Try treat Consort Yue this way.

00:44:38.780 --> 00:44:39.780
Your Majesty,

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:42.500
don't take these words to heart.

00:44:44.460 --> 00:44:46.380
All of you should stop talking now.

00:44:54.940 --> 00:44:56.660
I know Fifth Sister is domineering

00:44:56.780 --> 00:44:58.180
and disrespects you.

00:44:58.500 --> 00:45:00.140
But you shouldn't take advantage
and get revenge.

00:45:00.780 --> 00:45:02.300
Do you know how children

00:45:02.300 --> 00:45:03.900
should be considerate of their parents?

00:45:04.180 --> 00:45:06.220
Just don't add fuel to the fire

00:45:06.420 --> 00:45:07.940
when our parents are worried.

00:45:09.820 --> 00:45:11.700
It was only a slip of the tongue.

00:45:12.140 --> 00:45:14.340
I didn't mean to make Mother sad.

00:45:16.740 --> 00:45:18.300
You've misunderstood me.

00:45:18.540 --> 00:45:20.940
Why would I have
such ill intentions toward Fifth Sister?

00:45:22.060 --> 00:45:23.820
Whether you have an ill intention,

00:45:24.740 --> 00:45:26.540
you know it very well.

00:45:28.940 --> 00:45:30.300
If I wanted to revenge,

00:45:32.220 --> 00:45:34.740
the one I should take vengeance on
the most isn't Fifth Sister,

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:40.700
but Qu Lingjun
who caused my child's death.

00:45:43.060 --> 00:45:43.940
That year,

00:45:45.100 --> 00:45:47.380
if she didn't stop entangling with you,

00:45:48.660 --> 00:45:50.620
it wouldn't have affected my pregnancy

00:45:51.180 --> 00:45:52.420
and lose my child.

00:45:53.900 --> 00:45:55.060
All these years,

00:45:55.300 --> 00:45:57.140
I can't sleep

00:45:57.900 --> 00:45:59.300
whenever I think of this.

00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:01.580
Why did you bring her up again?

00:46:01.660 --> 00:46:03.180
When did she provoke you?

00:46:03.660 --> 00:46:05.300
She didn't provoke me.

00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:08.100
She only took a few glances
at you during the birthday banquet.

00:46:08.740 --> 00:46:10.380
But these several glances

00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:12.580
are enough to make you restless.

00:46:12.580 --> 00:46:14.460
When did I feel restless?

00:46:17.460 --> 00:46:19.380
She's already someone's wife.

00:46:19.700 --> 00:46:21.380
I also treat her openly.

00:46:22.420 --> 00:46:25.340
I'm fine with you behaving unreasonably.

00:46:25.620 --> 00:46:26.740
But why must...

00:46:27.140 --> 00:46:29.300
Why must you ruin
an innocent person's image?

00:46:31.340 --> 00:46:32.940
In your heart,

00:46:34.100 --> 00:46:36.940
she's innocent and pure
like the clear moonlight

00:46:38.380 --> 00:46:40.820
while I'm a jealous filthy mud.

00:46:44.300 --> 00:46:45.500
If so,

00:46:46.340 --> 00:46:48.460
you shouldn't have married me.

00:46:49.460 --> 00:46:51.140
I know I'm a woman from the countryside

00:46:51.140 --> 00:46:52.660
and not compatible with you.

00:46:53.740 --> 00:46:55.580
If you still like her,

00:46:55.820 --> 00:46:57.940
you can summon her into the palace
and appoint her as Lady of Excellence.

00:46:58.300 --> 00:47:00.700
Lest you think of her every day
to torture me.

00:47:00.900 --> 00:47:02.340
You always say this.

00:47:03.300 --> 00:47:05.940
No one ever dislikes you
because of your birth origin.

00:47:06.140 --> 00:47:08.540
It's you who resent,
despise your background,

00:47:08.820 --> 00:47:10.140
and are always suspicious.

00:47:11.020 --> 00:47:13.500
I don't want to waste time
on this meaningless argument

00:47:13.700 --> 00:47:15.420
nor will I marry Qu Lingjun.

00:47:16.580 --> 00:47:17.900
During the birthday banquet,

00:47:17.900 --> 00:47:19.260
I saw how her husband

00:47:19.340 --> 00:47:20.940
treated her considerately.

00:47:21.220 --> 00:47:23.020
Both of them are affectionate
and harmonious.

00:47:23.900 --> 00:47:25.700
You can just let it go.

00:48:11.890 --> 00:48:18.930
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:48:20.730 --> 00:48:27.930
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:48:29.490 --> 00:48:36.810
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:48:38.250 --> 00:48:45.410
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:48:46.370 --> 00:48:50.130
The light between your brows

00:48:50.730 --> 00:48:54.610
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:48:55.390 --> 00:49:02.730
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:49:04.730 --> 00:49:13.010
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:49:13.290 --> 00:49:21.730
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:49:22.330 --> 00:49:30.450
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:49:31.010 --> 00:49:34.690
Both of us will be

00:49:35.050 --> 00:49:45.910
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:49:48.250 --> 00:49:54.550
Our sincerity
