[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 48]
Your Majesty, this is an aphrodisiac incense.
Aphrodisiac incense?
Take this away right now! Quickly!
Your Majesty.
This has nothing to do with me.
I've never seen any aphrodisiac incense.
Search her!
Yes.
Your Majesty, this is the aphrodisiac incense.
Aphrodisiac incense...
This means that your maid isn't here to steal from Li Wei Young's room.
She is here to plant this aphrodisiac incense!
Your Majesty, she's innocent!
This is a setup!
How could Rong Er do anything like this?
Li Wei Young must have set Rong Er up to cover up her secret meeting
with Prince of Nan-An!
Prince of Nan-An arrives!
Father.
Rise.
Were you here some time ago?
I was.
Were you here to see Li Wei Young?
Why would I come here to see Li Wei Young?
I noticed a suspicious person lurking around here.
I followed him here, but then he disappeared.
So I left.
Li Wei Young, answer me.
Have you been back to your room?
Your Majesty, something accidentally spilled on my clothes a while ago
and I had wanted to get changed
but then I was held up elsewhere.
Therefore, I sent Xiao Linzi to bring me my clothes.
It means that Rong Er sneaked into Li Wei Young's room
and planted aphrodisiac incense.
If both of you happened to come in here at the same time
I'd then witness such a spectacle like this one!
Li Chang Ru.
She is your maid.
Your Majesty! It's not what you think it is!
Nonsense!
You're still making excuses?
It has all been proven!
It's obvious that you ordered Rong Er
to plant aphrodisiac incense in Li Wei Young's room!
Then you lured Prince of Nan-An here and later, I was brought here.
If there hadn't been unforeseen changes, wouldn't I have been fooled by you?
Li Chang Ru.
You'll stoop to any means in order to harm others.
You deserve to die!
Your Majesty! I'm innocent!
I'm not convinced! You can't accuse me
just because of what Rong Er did!
It has already come to this and you still dare to claim innocence!
I will have you own up to your sins.
Rong Er.
Did you plant the aphrodisiac incense in my room?
Young Mistress...
I've already planted the aphrodisiac incense in Li Wei Young's room.
What else can you say about it now?
You're all liars!
- Anyone there? - Present!
Take him away!
- Yes! - Spare me, Your Majesty!
- Move it!
Li Chang Ru!
You committed the most heinous of crimes!
Execute her immediately after the birth of the imperial offspring!
Your Grace! Please save me!
Under such circumstances, what would you have me say?
I never thought that you would be so ruthless.
I was wrong about you.
Your Grace!
Your Highness.
Save me, Your Highness.
For the sake of our child, please save me.
You can hit me. You can scold me.
But please save my life.
Your Highness... I did everything for you, Your Highness!
I really can't leave you, Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Your Highness...
Slut!
Save your crocodile tears!
You truly are incorrigible.
Do you know how much Grandmother worried about you?
You're carrying a child. Your mother is so anxious about you.
Hypocrite.
How did you get out of this trap?
Did you know about my plan beforehand?
You bribed Rong Er to make her betray me!
Rong Er is very faithful to you.
You can't even trust her?
If she didn't betray me, how could you possibly have gotten out of it?
This aphrodisiac incense is the most powerful one.
Prince of Nan-An already has designs on you.
This aphrodisiac incense may be the most powerful one
but you have underestimated my love for Tuoba Jun.
Don't do this.
Wei Young.
I really do love you.
Let go of me!
Don't come near me!
Do you really think that will stop me?
If you come any closer, I'll kill myself right before your eyes.
Stop right there!
You helped Li Chang Ru frame me again and again!
Do you really think that I won't strike back?
If you had set up this trap
you were sure to send someone to watch this place.
As long as I get hold of this person
it's as good as attaining the evidence to prove you guilty.
Rong Er was under the influence of the aphrodisiac incense.
She couldn't think straight.
I asked her a few questions, and she exposed you.
What goes around comes around.
Li Chang Ru, you brought this upon yourself.
You made me.
You made me!
You snatched away everything that I cherished!
You made my life a living hell!
You claim that you love Prince of Nan-An.
Yet you even used him to get back at me?
- Is that what you call love? - Shut up!
I won't allow you to insult the love between us!
No one loves him more than I do!
I had wanted to use this on you and Prince of Gaoyang.
Who knew that it would turn out like this?
If it had been him
would you dare say that you could have escaped unscathed?
Neither you nor Prince of Gaoyang could!
Sadly, not even the gods are on your side.
The gods are blind! They let you slip by this time.
You took everything away from me.
Why don't you ever get punished?
I never once took anything away from you.
Those were never yours to begin with.
I hate you.
Anyone there?
Take her away.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
I have nothing to say.
I'll take my leave now.
You should thank me.
Shouldn't you?
Even the imperial physician said that
Li Chang Ru used a very powerful aphrodisiac incense.
I could still rein myself in to protect your...
- Chastity. - You...
You escaped getting killed.
You definitely should thank me.
Your Highness, we were both being set up.
However, this is all because of Your Highness.
I don't wish to bring up this matter again.
I also hope that you will forget it soon.
But I don't wish to.
I actually regretted it.
Li Chang Ru thought that she could get His Majesty to kill you for this
but she's underestimated me.
Li Wei Young.
My feelings for you are true.
I could have had you as I desired.
But I didn't force...
But I didn't force myself on you.
I hope that you will bear that in mind.
Save me, Your Highness.
For the sake of our child, please save me.
I never once took anything away from you.
Those were never yours to begin with.
Is this how it all comes to an end?
Your Majesty.
Someone just reported that...
Li Chang Ru took her own life last night.
She deserved it.
Sadly, my grandchild is now gone.
- Chang Ru! - Madam!
- You died so tragically! - Madam!
- My daughter died so tragically! - Madam, be careful!
I will make the people who harmed you die a terrible death!
Let go of me!
Madam!
- Let go of me! - Grab her.
Gag her! Stop her from saying such nonsense!
- Grab her! - Yes!
- Quickly! - Madam!
- Madam!
Brother-in-law!
- Madam! - Madam!
Brother-in-law!
Brother-in-law, I'm begging you!
Please save Chang Ru!
Chang Ru was so wronged!
Brother-in-law!
- Take her away quickly! - Brother-in-law!
I'm begging you!
Brother-in-law!
Chang Ru is innocent!
Chang Ru!
What kind of retribution is being visited upon our family?
If you hadn't coveted the Chiyun family's power
and overly indulged Chang Le
it wouldn't have caused the girls to drift apart
and make them lose their normal selves.
None of these heart-breaking accidents would have happened.
Look at us now.
The descendants of the Li family...
Min Feng is dead.
Chang Ru is also dead.
Look at my grandchildren! What hope is left for the Li family?
Bai Zhi.
Li Chang Ru got what she deserved for killing you.
You can now finally rest in peace.
But what then?
You can never come back to life again.
Tuoba Jun. Fortunately, I still have you.
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
Your Highness?
His Highness knocked me out?
Why would he do so?
I'm going home.
Go home?
You're already dead.
How could you still go home?
What do you mean by that?
After I took you away
I had another body take your place in the suicide.
Everyone thinks that
Li Chang Ru took her life out of guilt.
Stay here and deliver the child.
If you behave...
I can still spare your life.
Your Highness!
You rescued me because... you still have feelings for me, right?
Your Highness.
Don't leave me.
Don't be so cruel to me.
I just want to be with you.
It's not like I haven't given you chances.
You insisted upon your own actions that led you straight to a dead end.
Your life is now spared. What more do you want?
Your Highness.
Why would you keep protecting Li Wei Young who doesn't love you
but treat me so cruelly even though I'm carrying your child?
How did you get pregnant with this child?
You...
You should know it better than I do!
Right?
I put up with you once for using such tactics.
Do you think that I can let you off a second time?
Your Highness!
Li Wei Young will eventually join Tuoba Jun to take you down!
You will regret it!
It's none of your concern!
Your Highness!
Come to your senses!
Tuoba Jun is the only one on Li Wei Young's mind.
She will never fall for you!
No one can stop me from getting what I want.
Including her!
Your Highness!
Li Wei Young will ruin you sooner or later.
You will regret it.
You will regret it!
Your Highness.
Your Highness looks a lot better today.
I was already much better yesterday.
I just feel a bit weak.
This is entirely my fault.
If I hadn't pushed you too hard
Your Highness would not have suffered so badly.
I deserve to die for it!
Commander Jiao, get up.
You were just carrying out orders.
How are you to be blamed?
It's just that the plan has failed.
I'm afraid my father will blame you once he learns of it.
It's all due to my incompetence.
I willingly accept any punishment.
It's just...
There's one thing that I can't figure out.
Did Your Highness not get to take the "Chart of Six Elements in Army Defense"
or did you change the plan at the last minute?
You should know what the truth is.
Why bother asking me?
My prince.
Princess Shang Gu is here to visit you with medicinal herbs.
I see.
- You are dismissed. - Yes.
Commander Jiao.
- Your Highness? - Stop her from coming in.
I don't wish to see her.
Your Highness, I might be a boorish man
but I can tell how devoted the princess is to you.
Why would you treat her so, Your Highness?
Now that I'm in this condition, how could I bear to hold her back?
Do as I said.
Yes.
Master Envoy!
Greetings to Your Highness.
Is the prince feeling better today?
He's much better.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
His Highness said that he doesn't wish to see any visitors today.
How am I a visitor?
He doesn't wish to see me?
Please head back, Your Highness.
Don't come here again.
His Highness said that he doesn't wish to see anyone now.
I will make him clear things up with me today!
Your Highness!
Li Min De! Why are you avoiding me?
Your Highness is deeply devoted to me, but I can't reciprocate your affection.
Therefore, I'm too ashamed to see you.
My affection for you is my concern!
Why should you have to put up with such pain?
I do so willingly!
All these years, I've never fallen so deeply in love with anyone.
I made this decision after giving it much thought.
I don't want to keep dragging it on without being sure of myself!
I won't allow you to shy away from it either!
For your sake, I even deceived my father and brother.
In the end, you actually wish to avoid me?
Is this how you treat someone who is so fond of you?
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
I don't wish to shy away from your affection either.
But I'm now a disabled man.
How am I worthy of you?
Commander Jiao told me that you're practicing archery here.
I'm here to take a look.
I treated Your Highness so poorly. Aren't you angry at me?
Of course I am!
But... I can't stop myself from being concerned about you.
Li Min De! Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I've strained my wound.
Your wound isn't healed yet, and you were also poisoned.
Stop practicing. We'll practice again when you've recovered. All right?
I'm sorry.
Your Highness...
Are you willing to give me another chance?
I'm willing to try and accept your affection for me.
What did you say?
I said that I'm willing to accept your affection for me.
I wonder if you will give me another chance.
I will... I will!
I'm happy to do so!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Silly woman.
Let's keep practicing.
I'll pick up the bow for you.
[Crown Prince's Manor]
Your Highness, a letter was given to me in secret.
You're asked to a meeting in the forest west of the city at midnight.
It says that there's information about Crown Prince Jing Mu's case.
Perhaps this person knows who the true mastermind behind the case is.
The one person who benefited the most from my father's case was Tuoba Han
but now he's already abolished as a civilian.
If there was a mastermind behind it
Prince of Dongping is the most likely suspect.
But now thinking back, Tuoba Yu gained Prince of Dongping's trust then as well.
Tuoba Yu has now taken over the position
Prince of Dongping once held in the imperial court.
You suspect Prince of Nan-An?
He is now second in command.
If he really was the mastermind...
I will make him pay. An eye for an eye!
Your Highness.
This is the location stated in the letter.
[Minister of the Imperial Clan’s Manor]
Who is that?
Who... Who are you?
Minister of the Imperial Clan.
Anyone there?
Don't come any closer!
Anyone there?
This is already way past the scheduled time.
Why isn't that person here yet?
The high official appointed by the emperor himself
had his entire clan massacred in one night!
Over 100 people from his household were all slaughtered!
What kind of Metropolitan Governor are you?
- Guards! - Present!
Drag him out and behead him!
- Yes! - Your Majesty!
- Please calm your anger! - Spare me, Your Majesty!
Spare me, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!
Minister of the Imperial Clan's entire household was massacred in one night.
All traces and evidence were wiped out.
This indicates the murder was premeditated.
Please allow Metropolitan Governor to redeem himself by seeking out the killer.
I'm willing to assist him in solving this case!
Father, I'm also willing to assist the Metropolitan Governor.
All right.
Since you both plead on his behalf
I will give you 10 days!
If you fail to find the culprit by then
both of you will be punished along with the Metropolitan Governor!
- Yes, Your Majesty! - Yes, Your Majesty!
So much has happened in the palace.
It's no wonder that His Majesty is in such a bad temper.
What is it? Has Grandfather been harsh on you?
I'm fine.
He's already very forgiving.
By the way, do you know who could have killed
Minister of the Imperial Clan's entire household?
That is so ruthless.
Are there really no leads at all?
Although there aren't any clues, the case is highly suspicious.
I was asked to meet a person who claimed to have information
about the account record, but I was kept waiting all night.
At the same time, the Minister of the Imperial Clan's household was wiped out.
You think that they are related?
I find them highly suspicious.
Therefore, I volunteered to assist in the investigation.
I hope to seek out the clues in the shortest time possible.
My father's case has always been a weight on my shoulders.
Whatever it takes, I have to get to the bottom of it.
[Minister of the Imperial Clan’s Manor] The killer is very crafty.
After the massacre, he had this place wiped clean.
I've already examined it several times.
There's simply no evidence to be found.
Over 100 lives were taken in one night.
There is definitely more than one killer.
It's impossible for them not to leave any traces behind.
It's up to us to discover anything odd among the details.
- Cheng An. - Present.
Take the guards over there.
- Go over there. - Yes!
Others, come here.
The rest, go up there, and the others, over there.
Search this place thoroughly again!
- Search every nook and cranny! - Yes!
Your Highness! There seems to be something here!
Your Highnesses, look.
What is your opinion?
I'm afraid that my opinion...
It's the same as yours.
Wei Young!
Your Highness is in such a good mood.
What happened today?
Her Highness went to see Prince Yuan Lie just now.
Su Xin!
I saw that Min De is recovering well and I'm happy about it.
He asked me to tell you not to worry.
I'm relieved to hear Your Highness say so.
However, Your Highness has been looking after Min De every day.
- It's been hard on you. - Not at all.
I don't find it hard at all.
I know about Your Highness's affection for Min De.
However, he is after all the prince of Rouran.
He will have to head home sooner or later.
Is Your Highness really willing to marry into Rouran?
No matter what happens to Li Min De in the future
I will always stay with him.
Your Highness is so devoted to him.
He surely won't let you down.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Madam Wei Young, His Majesty is asking for you.
I have to get going.
Li Min De, I'll wait for you to fully accept my affection.
Aunt Di!
Have you seen Wei Young?
Wei Young?
Father just summoned her.
It seems that Grandfather is already informed.
Prince of Gaoyang arrives!
Continue.
Your Majesty.
We found the blade marks left by the killers in the manor.
This blade mark is shallow at the tip and deep at the back.
This is caused by a unique weapon from Northern Liang's army.
Liang's cloud saber.
No other nation could make such a saber.
It can't be! The killers can't be from Liang!
Even if the weapons are only from Northern Liang
it doesn't mean that those who wield such weapons are from Liang!
This is perhaps a setup!
I have already investigated it.
Most of the wounds on the corpses are made with such weapons.
I've also found out that there were quite a few Liang slaves in the manor.
These Liang slaves harbored enmity and concealed their ulterior motives.
I'm afraid that they did it to get revenge.
I was kind enough to free the Liang slaves
but who knew that would get my subjects killed?
The people of Liang are so ungrateful.
They showed no gratitude for my mercy.
Convey my decree!
All districts and commanderies are to arrest all Liang slaves!
If the killers don't surrender themselves
don't blame me for killing all of them!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please calm your anger!
How could such a serious case be concluded by a Liang cloud saber?
I think that there must be some sort of a scheme!
Shut up!
If it hadn't been for you, I would never have freed the slaves!
Grandfather, don't be angry!
Please show some mercy!
Please allow me to join the investigation.
Please show some mercy!
- Grandfather... - Please show some mercy!
Please show some mercy!
Father, please show them mercy.
Please show some mercy!
- Please show some mercy... - All right.
Don't blame me for not giving you a chance.
If you can seek out the real culprit within 10 days
you will die with the Liang slaves!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Kings and bears often worry their keepers.
First he promoted you and then now he wants to kill you.
Young Mistress, should I take you away from here?
Don't make it more complicated.
Under these circumstances, how could Miss Wei Young leave?
Father is too mean.
Wei Young has nothing to do with this case at all.
Why does she have to die if she can't find the killers?
No! I have to reason with Father!
My dear princess!
I know that you're worried about me
but His Majesty will only be even angrier if you go to him now
Not only would you not be able to plead for Wei Young
but Grandfather will only be more annoyed at her.
I'm sorry. I was too impulsive.
But... Wei Young, can't you just stay out of this?
Your Highness, you now know who I truly am.
Could I stay out of it?
If my father knows that I'm such a coward to have abandoned our people
I believe that he'd never rest in peace.
Wei Young, I understand how you feel.
However, have you considered if it really was the Liang slaves' revenge?
If the killers were really people of Liang
I will seek out this black sheep.
I won't allow the other people of Liang to be killed because of them.
However, the true culprits won't be from Liang.
An entire household of the Minister of the Imperial Clan
was slaughtered in one night.
How could any Liang commoner have that ability?
You're right.
It isn't that simple.
It's my fault that I didn't plan out my actions well.
Li Wei Young caught me and ruined all your plans.
You're not to be blamed for it.
This could be the gods' will.
I'm just glad that with everything I have lost, you're still here with me.
Young Mistress treats me like your own family!
Even my life isn't enough to repay your kindness.
Don't worry, Young Mistress.
You will only be in this predicament temporarily.
One day, when Young Mistress gives birth to His Highness's firstborn son
he will surely think of ways to bring you home.
My death has been made known to all.
How could I still go home?
Young Mistress.
His Highness will some day take the throne.
By then, all it will take to get you home is but a few words from His Highness.
Young Mistress, you mustn't despair!
As long as Li Wei Young lives, I will never be able to go home!
Even if I give birth to our child
His Highness will only come to take them away.
I will still be stranded in misery.
No... I can't just sit here doing nothing.
I have to go home. I have to!
Young Mistress!
Li Wei Young, just you wait.
His Highness has given orders that
Young Mistress can only walk around within this courtyard.
You've set the pawn down?
Yes, Grandfather.
You're obviously bringing upon your own downfall!
Please calm your anger, Grandfather.
You're distracted.
Is it because of Li Wei Young?
Why do you have to be so harsh on her?
It really is because of her.
You've gone against me again and again because of your love affair.
Is Li Wei Young all you have on your mind?
Do you have no desire for my throne?
Grandfather is still in the prime of your reign.
How could I think of it?
I will eventually fade away with age.
My nation and people will have to be entrusted to a Tuoba clan descendant!
My successor has to be a hard, cold, decisive, and unfeeling man!
He can't be a lustful, indecisive, and useless brute!
Do you understand?
Yes.
I understand.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Li Wei Young.
Prince of Gaoyang has pleaded time after time on your behalf.
Is he already aware of the truth behind his mother's assassination?
Your Majesty.
I told you that you were not to tell him the truth.
You were also not to get close to Prince of Gaoyang.
You pretended to obey my orders, but then did otherwise.
Do you still hate me for vanquishing Great Liang?
What is your motive for using both my son and grandson?
Your Majesty has misunderstood me.
Misunderstood you?
Do you dare say that there's nothing between you and Prince of Gaoyang?
You defied my orders.
I won't pardon you.
Or your people.
Indeed. The death of my family once drove me into a rage.
However, I gradually realized that personal vengeance
could never be more important than having my people live and work in peace.
Your Majesty wishes to bring peace to the nation.
I respect you greatly for that.
I never harbored any hatred toward you, so why would I seek revenge from you?
As for Tuoba Jun...
I once hurt him deeply for my own interests.
However hard I tried to turn him away
he'd always watch over me and protect me whenever I'm in danger.
Even if he was badly wounded and on the verge of death
he never once forsook me.
Your Majesty, I can't resist someone like Tuoba Jun.
I love him.
I can't leave him.
Even though I know that Your Majesty would be furious
I still wish to be with him.
My love for him is true.
There's no ulterior motive.
Please believe me, Your Majesty.
Please let me stay by his side.
Please allow me and my people to prove our loyalty to Your Majesty.
You do indeed have a way with words.
Is this how you fooled Prince of Gaoyang?
What should I do to make you believe me?
Li Wei Young.
Perhaps, your love for Prince of Gaoyang is true.
But it's also a fact that my son and grandson both vie for you.
In terms of that, I could never allow it.
Whether you find the killer of Liang's cloud saber case or not
you are to leave Prince of Gaoyang forever.
