Master.
13th Prince and Miss Ruoxi wishes to see you.
Leave!
I won't see anyone!
Get out!
What else do you want?
Do you plan on taking my life to make you happy?
If the Emperor allowed, I'd be more than happy to.
You cannot divorce Fujin.
You should tell him!
Did Fujin leave?
Just what do you want?
13th came to look for me.
I've already promised you
that I will definitely not let 9th Brother and Minghui do as they wished.
Why is there still such an outcome?
Now is not the time to talk about this.
You go and find Fujin quickly.
Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen.
Something will happen?
What else can happen?
Add on another crime?
What do you want to do to Minghui and Hong Wang?
I don't wish to see you!
Don't make me chase you out.
Wake up!
8th Fujin is your wife of many years.
How much do you actually understand the feelings she had for you?
I understand.
Of course I understand.
When everyone gave up on me,
Only she was there to take care of me and comfort me.
When I was fighting, she always supported me.
When I gave up, she also did not say anything.
No doubt.
I am crazy, stupid and a fool.
I had a precious pearl at my side,
but I still went around looking for one.
I've sworn.
I will use the rest of my life to treat her well.
But why is Heavens so cruel?
I've always given way,
but I'm still being forced to a corner by the Emperor.
I thought that by being careful,
I can exchange that for a some peace.
But I have just recently realized.
That it is impossible.
My ending is settled already.
But she is different.
The only thing I can do for her is to let her go.
You understand everything.
But why can't you see her heart?
You think that letting her go is the best choice?
You don't want her to be walking the same path as you.
But did you know?
She isn't afraid of being imprisoned or dying.
She's not afraid of anything.
She's only afraid that you'll not want her!
You are her everything.
But now, you have taken away her everything in such a cruel way.
Fire!! Fire! Douse the fire!
Come help!
What happened?
Miss committed suicide and set the place fire!
Minghui!
8th Brother!
-Minghui! -8th Brother!
-Calm down! -Minghui would not!
8th Prince!
Calm down! Don't!
8th brother, 8th brother!
Let me go!
She only came looking for you to express her anguish.
What harm did that do to you to deserve such ending?
Now, are you satisfied?
No harm done to her?
Did you know?
Because of 8th Fujin's words,
the child in Ruoxi's womb is gone.
In this entire life, she can never have another child again!
Don't forget you still have Hong Wang!
8th Sister-in-law's sacrifice was for whom?
You know the answer in your heart.
What should you do next?
You know the answer in your heart!
To drift and live without a purpose,
living a life worse than death.
You've been running around for the whole day.
Go and rest.
It is almost daytime.
It's time for Your Majesty to attend court.
Look after her.
She only worries for others.
I only care for her.
Ruoxi, don't torment yourself.
8th Fujin's death has nothing to do with you.
I've always thought that surviving was hard, and seeking death was easy.
Turns out.
To grow together may not be.
One may not even be fated to die together.
It was not your fault to begin with.
It was also not 8th brother and 8th Fujin's fault.
Things were complicated.
A cruel trick played by fate.
We cannot blame Imperial Brother either.
In the future, I really won't be able to have children again?
That's also good.
Unless I want my child to suffer in the Forbidden City?
Second Miss!
It was my fault to have caused 8th Fujin's death.
I should not have let you meet 8th Fujin.
It has nothing to do with you.
Rise.
No, Second Miss.
It was my fault!
Second Miss already told me to be careful with every step I take in this palace.
I didn't pay attention.
I thought meeting once was a small matter,
but in the end it killed 8th Fujin
and harmed Second Miss as well.
Qiaohui.
How would you know the ending?
All of you do not know.
Right now.
It's only the Emperor's second year of reign.
I originally thought there would still be a few years of peace.
Turns out it has already started.
It's my fault.
Second Miss.
What are you talking about?
Right now is only the beginning.
What did my sister do to you?
Why did you treat her that way?
Why did you divorce her?
And force her to suicide?
My sister loved you deeply.
She would do anything for you no matter what.
What have you done for her?
For everything she has done for you,
this is the outcome she got?
Did you even treasure her a little?
Have you?
True, I let down Minghui.
I owe her.
I know.
I know that even until death,
my sister will never hate you.
But I...
I hate you!
I hate you to death!
If not for you,
my sister would not have died.
You are a murderer!
Give my sister back to me!
Give her back to me.
I know I was wrong.
I should not have been selfish.
I should not have been petty.
But I truly and deeply care for Bei'le.
I cannot be without Bei'le.
Ever since Bei'le's rebuke started,
I repeatedly pondered about your attitude towards me.
The days when you won't see me,
I would rather die than live.
Minghui, I had such a pearl like you by my side,
yet I never cherished you properly.
Bei'le.
As long as you don't get upset,
I will help you with any problems, no matter how big they are.
I really feel awful seeing how you are now.
Perhaps this is what it means to be husband and wife,
to share hardship together.
I know you have a lot of words to speak to me which you can't.
However, I can truly feel it.
I have never regretted marrying you.
Hundred years of cultivation to share the same boat.
The Millennium cultivation to be fated as a couple.
You had always followed my wishes,
relied on me and supported me without complaints.
Minghui.
You are a gift that Heaven bestowed me with.
What is this?
They're really pushing things too far!
How can the Emperor do that?
It has already been two months since that matter.
Imperial Father's announcement is simply to tell everyone undoubtedly
that he will not forgive me.
It's simply to give those still with hope and my followers of the court a clear warning.
We don't care for this kind of charity.
If we add all our savings together,
it will probably last more than eight generations.
Even if we spent it all,
there is still my father.
And even if my father doesn't take care of us,
Bei'le, you still have me.
Minghui.
I cannot repay your kindness in this life.
In next life, I will a hundred fold.
Minghui, I promise you.
I will not let you go alone.
Previously, you didn't want to see me being forced by the Emperor
to steadily retreat in defeat.
From now on, I will never back down anymore.
Even if that will incur my death.
I will gladly meet you soon.
I will not let you down.
10th Fujin.
Let me pass.
10th Fujin, you cannot pass.
Move away! You cannot pass!
Let go, let go!
Do not treat 10th Fujin impolitely.
You can leave.
Yes.
Ruoxi.
10th Fujin.
Please let Second Miss off.
Move aside.
Leave.
What are you doing?
I, Guoluoluo Mingyu have never begged anyone before in my life.
Today, I came here to beg you.
If there something, stand up and talk.
Ruoxi.
My sister already died.
I cannot watch 10th Prince living a life worse than death.
Rather than letting the Emperor humiliate and torture us so,
why not just finish us off?
What is going on?
In The Zhang family, 10th Prince had always been humiliated given difficulties.
This is all the doings of the Emperor behind the scenes.
10th Prince is sentimental,
and because of that, he's throwing a tantrum
and refusing to come back.
Who knew the Emperor would use this to fault him,
and ordered that his post be taken away,
and to be brought back to the Capital forcefully and be confined forever.
Since the beginning of times, it has always been the winner who takes all.
There is nothing to argue about that.
But, the Emperor...
Why does the Emperor torture us so
and makes things so difficult for us?
First, it was the 8th Prince, and then Jie'jie.
Now it's me and 10th Prince.
I don't understand why the Emperor cannot
take into account of the brotherly ties,
and have to force us in such a way where we're in between life and death.
10th Prince.
Now, it's the 10th Prince turn.
Actually.
Actually, I've thought about this.
If 10th Prince is arrested and imprisoned,
I will be imprisoned with him.
If he's being executed,
I will follow him and be executed as well.
But to be brought back in captive, and to be confined for life.
This kind of suffering...
Do you think 10th Prince can take this kind of suffering?
Ruoxi, Ruoxi.
Now, I truly understand my sister's suffering.
Seeing people around you...
Each of them being tortured.
I would rather die.
Since I cannot live, I seek to die.
I beg you.
I beg you to speak to His Majesty.
Please, I beg you.
If he doesn't care about the brotherly ties to let us go,
then I will beg him to order our deaths.
To let us die quickly.
I beg you, I beg you.
I beg you, Ruoxi.
I beg you!
10th Fujin. 10th Prince has such a wife as you is his good fortune.
I have no regrets having had 10th Prince in my life.
Don't worry.
You're not the ones who started this.
Also, you're not the ones who should be blamed.
I will not let 10th Prince suffer anymore.
Ruoxi.
This is good.
Looks like all these officials appreciate my efforts.
They're all impartial and doing what they need to.
Even if the higher-ups in the court are involved in corruption,
they also do not hesitate to report them to me.
They've done well.
13th brother, what's with you?
Imperial Brother.
I have something I need to tell you.
If it's about 10th, then forget it.
Imperial Brother.
I am the Emperor, and he is a subject.
If I let him off because of our relationship,
How am I going to account to the others?
10th has never gone against any of your orders.
And he has never showed signs of usurping the throne.
Could you please give him a lighter punishment?
My mind is set.
Are you really being impartial,
or are you just set on destroying him?
Enough!
I'm punishing him because he deserves it!
That bunch of people is scheming and pervasive.
You've seen it for yourself.
I cannot allow a speck of compassion when dealing with them!
But have you ever thought about Ruoxi?
Ruoxi and 10th brother
are childhood playmates.
If you do anything to 10th brother,
you are also hurting Ruoxi.
Ruoxi has been hurt enough.
I am doing this because of Ruoxi.
They are never going to see the end of me.
Ruoxi will then have peaceful days.
Our child, would then not have died in vain.
No.
Ruoxi will not stand aside and do nothing.
She is the "death-seeking 13th sister".
She will not do nothing.
To protect those around her, she is willing to sacrifice even her own life.
Do you also want to see
Ruoxi in such a desperate state before you will stop?
They are the ones who refuse to stop!
Our battle is the court's contradiction,
and a battle between brothers.
I've always tried to keep Ruoxi out of it.
They are the ones who keep implicating her!
It's them. It's all their fault!
Gu'gu.
Gao Wuyong, you may leave.
Understood.
The inner palace cannot interfere with matters of the court.
Ruoxi, go back.
Ruoxi, go back first.
Let me handle it everything here.
13th Prince.
Do you still remember the first time we drank together?
Of course.
You could say that we were brought together by wine.
Our friendship today will also end with wine.
Ruoxi.
What do you want?
Don't try anything.
I have come today to tell the truth.
You've always thought that it was 8th Fujin who killed our baby.
Actually, it wasn't her.
It was me.
Stop your nonsense. Go back!
Where should I start?
It's been so long.
Ruoxi.
Back then, 8th Prince was still my brother-in-law,
I said a few sentences.
I told him to be very careful of 4th Prince.
Long Keduo, Nian Gengyao, etc.
Ruoxi, you can plead for mercy.
But you should not push all the blame onto yourself.
It won't help.
Back then, how was it possible for you to have said these?
I said all these, because I know.
I know everything.
And it's because I know,
I tried to warn him.
This is absolute.
9th Prince and 14th Prince also know about this.
If you don't believe me, you can check with them.
Ruoxi!
I'm sorry.
The one who caused you to be confined for 10 years,
was actually the bosom buddy you've always trusted so much.
If I hadn't given 8th Prince the warning,
he would not have acted upon it
and tried to set 4th Prince up.
You also wouldn't have been implicated.
The suffering you went through was all because of me.
My own health is also what I deserved.
The child also died because of me.
On the surface,
it was 8th Prince and his group who went against you.
But the instigator, directly or indirectly,
who caused everything was me.
The person you loved most.
All these years, you've been hating the wrong person!
Shut up!
It was me.
I hurt you and harmed you. The person who caused all this was me.
The person you hate is standing in front of you now.
Get out!
All of you get out!
Get out!
Ruoxi.
Ruoxi, Ruoxi!
Are you all right? Ruoxi!
Second Miss.
Second Miss, quick! Come back.
If you come back with me, you'll be able to see Madam.
Second Miss, come back quickly.
Please come back.
I have nothing.
I don't have Jie'jie and Yutan.
I've lost my child, I've lost my friend,
I've also lost 4th Prince.
I have absolutely nothing left.
Ruoxi.
You've finally woken up.
Ruoxi, how can you be so silly?
I don't blame you at all.
None of this is your fault.
If there's hate, I can only hate destiny for making a fool of us.
Ruoxi, promise me.
You won't give up, and you shouldn't.
Don't in a hurry.
If you have something to say, just wait a couple of days first.
You've fainted for several days.
Your fever never went down.
Looks like it may take a few days before you get your voice back.
I'm very happy.
Happy?
We are bosom friends.
I'm also very happy to have a friend like you.
Do you have some words you want me to pass on to 14th?
What do you mean by that?
I'm willing.
You're willing?
What do you mean?
Okay, I will bring the message to him.
But I need your promise --
That you will never give up.
Fine, then I'm off now.
Have a good rest.
What?
What did Ruoxi say?
She said "I am willing".
Willing?
14th brother.
What is this about?
Tell me.
What do her words mean?
Then I will tell you.
Everything is for Ruoxi.
Don't ask anymore. Just respect her decision.
Your Majesty.
You haven't seen Ruoxi for a long time.
Why torture yourself like this?
The deeper the love, the greater the hate.
Because she was the one who warned 8th brother to be aware of me at that time.
How can I not angry?
But at that time --
She didn't have feelings for you yet.
So how can you blame her?
What did I do in those years that she could forewarn 8th brother?
It is quite a puzzle to me.
Your Majesty, your talent exceeds others.
The others will inevitability be jealous.
Moreover, Ruoxi was the sister-in-law of the 8th Prince and lived in the Bei'le estate.
Of course they would have had the same heart.
Then again, how did she know
the ruler of the world would be Your Majesty?
About the miscarriage,
it must have been a pain that erodes the bones for Ruoxi.
Your Majesty, just like what the 13th brother said.
Your Majesty should understand her.
Understand her honesty, her sincerity.
I know that she is sincere,
but she decided to hurt me like this to save them.
She did not understand everything I did for her at all!
She did not understand.
Qiaohui.
These days have been difficult on you.
Being here with me, you always have to be on your toes.
Since you were little,
you've never suffered such punishment.
How could you say that, Second Miss?
Being able to serve Second Miss is my eternal good fortune.
Look.
The sky outside is the real sky.
In the Forbidden City --
I have always just been a passerby.
Your Majesty, your brother have come today
to ask your Majesty for your consent about a matter.
What is it?
I ask your Majesty to sanction a marriage.
Sanction a marriage? What marriage?
The marriage that was sanctioned by the divine Imperial Father,
bestow Maertai Ruoxi as my Ce'fujin.
I have the royal decree from Imperial Father here.
I request Your Majesty to sanction the marriage.
I have important things to discuss with the ministers today.
Leave for now.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I get it.
This is a reward the previous Emperor gave to 14th Prince for winning the battle years before.
Ruoxi.
How did this happen?
Do you know how mad the Imperial Brother was when he received the royal decree at court today?
What do you think he's going to do?
If Imperial Brother can make 8th brother divorce his Fujin,
he can definitely make 14th brother not marry you.
The crime of not obeying the royal decree of the Divine Imperial Emperor is serious.
If His Majesty insists on doing so,
it will be cause other's gossip.
If he dare to disobey this posthumous royal decree,
the other posthumous royal decree, he can also...
Ruoxi!
Imperial Brother acted like this
because he cared about you too much.
Ruoxi, is it really impossible for everything to go back to normal?
