[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 45]
Li Wei Young.
What are you doing here?
What are you up to?
- Anyone there? Anyone? - Don't bother calling for them.
Since she could come in here
I don't think that we can drive her out.
Step out.
Yes, Young Mistress.
You really are very sensible.
If I am, I should have seen through you.
It was you.
You set me up.
Li Chang Ru.
If you hadn't harbored such evil intentions
you wouldn't have brought this upon yourself.
You got what you deserved.
When did you begin to suspect me?
Since the murder of Crown Princess Consort
I was very certain that someone within the family
must have collaborated with Li Chang Le.
Before Bai Zhi died
she took out the key to tell me that you were the one who killed her.
I didn't.
When you killed Bai Zhi, you must have panicked.
That was why you dropped such important evidence
at the crime scene without knowing.
After all, justice has long arms.
When I figured out that you were going to harm Princess An Le
I decided to beat you at your own game.
Even if you realized that I intended to harm Princess An Le
how could you know of my plan and deliberately break away from Qing Ye?
I actually didn't have any clue about how your plan would proceed.
Right from the start, I was just following my own plan.
I chose the day you visit the palace
to get Princess An Le to break free from her bodyguards
so that your men could have time to take action.
Then I'd go looking for you to make you my alibi.
If you were willing to vouch for me
it meant that I was wrong about you.
Then I would still have a sister.
However, I didn't expect you to risk committing treason
in order to kill me.
What pained me the most was that
you really are the murderer of Bai Zhi and Crown Princess Consort.
Li Wei Young, I've really underestimated you.
It turned out that you had my every move
within your control after all.
Despite all that you just said
you can only prove that I killed Bai Zhi.
What have I to do with Crown Princess Consort's death?
Indeed.
I don't have any evidence to prove that
you conspired with Li Chang Le to kill Crown Princess Consort.
But I know that it was you!
Do you still remember the hairpin I gave to you?
Crown Princess Consort was killed by an identical hairpin.
When she was killed
Tuoba Jun questioned me about that hairpin.
It all happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to think.
However, little did I realize that
you intended to harm me for a long time.
The hairpins belong to you.
Who can prove that you once gave me an identical hairpin?
You can't have me convicted with just your assumption.
I might not be able to do so
but the treason that you committed is enough to devastate you for life.
I had actually wanted to give you one last chance in Princess An Le's case.
I had hoped that you would tell the truth.
I had hoped that you would give up before it was too late.
I had hoped that...
You would at least still care a bit for me.
But then such hopes shattered
when you accused me of being the murderer.
Li Chang Ru.
Have you been using me right from the beginning?
Have you ever regarded me as your sister?
You're right!
I have been using you right from the start.
I've been suppressed for over 10 years, and when you got to the manor
I saw a glimmer of hope.
I deliberately sowed discord between you and Li Chang Le
in hope of making you compete against each other
while I benefited from your conflicts.
But then...
You were wounded while saving me and even helped me sincerely.
All these years...
That was the first time that I knew of such sisterhood.
I was really happy.
I was so happy that whenever I used you
I couldn't help but feel guilty.
Li Wei Young.
We could have been sisters for life.
You incessantly plotted to use me
and you still have the cheek to say that you wished to be my sister for life?
Do you remember I told you that
I've been in love with someone since I was a child?
That was Prince of Nan-An?
He is the man I have loved and thought of for 10 years.
For 10 years, just thinking of him day and night drove me crazy.
Do you know how much effort and meticulous planning I had to make
in order to get close to him
while living under Li Chang Le's shadow?
But just when I was going to get closer to him...
Why did you have to snatch him away?
You ruined everything.
You ruined everything!
I never fell for Prince of Nan-An.
That's what makes you all the more hateful!
I love him so much, but he didn't even care about me.
You never did anything for him, but he shows so much concern for you.
Li Wei Young.
Who do you think you are?
I can't tolerate seeing how you made his cold, hard heart flutter.
I can't bear it that you will soon destroy his ambitions and plans!
I can't stand the most that you're alive and staying by his side!
I'll kill you.
Whatever it takes, I will kill you!
If you hate me, you can just come after me!
Why did you have to hurt so many innocent people?
You killed Bai Zhi and Crown Princess Consort!
No.
It was you.
Everyone around you is fated to die.
You killed them!
Everyone you ever cared about.
Bai Zhi.
Crown Princess Consort.
Zhou Xue Mei.
None of them escaped!
Even Third Aunt?
I told Chiyun Rou that Zhou Xue Mei rescued Zi Yan.
That was how you got Chiyun Rou to kill Third Aunt.
This is all because of your plotting behind our backs.
You carried out so many heinous acts just for your personal gain?
Do you still have a conscience?
No one can stop me from loving him.
I could sacrifice my life for him.
I was wrong.
I came here thinking that you might actually still feel a bit of remorse.
You're devoid of humanity.
You're incorrigible.
You're sinful through and through.
Neither gods nor men would forgive you!
Now that I am already carrying Prince of Nan-An's child...
Haven't you heard that a mother can rise to power through her son?
I now have the chance to make a comeback.
Don't use your child to commit more sins!
From now on, our relationship is over.
Li Wei Young.
Don't be so smug!
Our relationship isn't over yet!
Li Wei Young.
Li Wei Young indeed.
It was all within your control, wasn't it?
The prisoner swap was never needed.
Greetings to Prince of Nan-An.
I was just lucky.
However, I'd like to ask Your Highness not to take any more risks for me.
I don't take risks for just anyone.
There are still many chores to do at the laundry bureau.
I will take my leave now.
Your Highness!
You should know how much I hate being kept in the dark.
How dare you keep such a huge secret from me.
Your Highness.
I know that I was wrong.
I should have told you the good news first.
Please don't be mad at me anymore.
This should have been a joyous occasion.
You could have become my side consort because of your pregnancy.
It's a pity that now...
Your efforts are all in vain.
Isn't it all because of Li Wei Young?
Can Your Highness not tell that she set me up this time?
She already knew the truth.
She knew that I had Crown Princess Consort killed.
She might have suspected you!
I warned you.
Don't lay a finger on her!
Why wouldn't you listen?
It's because I know that you're in love with her!
I told you.
I could never tolerate Your Highness thinking of another woman!
You also said that you're willing to stay quietly by my side.
But you failed to do so.
Yes, I failed to do so.
I thought that I could.
But when I saw Your Highness fall for Li Wei Young
I knew that it was just my wishful thinking!
Your Highness.
Give up.
Just as I failed to win your affection
Li Wei Young will never love you!
You!
You and I are the same.
I don't wish to hit you.
Deliver the child safely.
Don't ever try to hurt Li Wei Young again.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
You still don't understand women.
The more you protect her...
The more I hate her!
[Jinggong Gate]
How do you think we should handle this matter now?
This is...
Everyone knows that Princess An Le died.
But now, she has returned safely.
It means that I will have to explain the situation.
Why don't I have your princess's escape made known to the world?
Please reconsider it, Your Majesty.
True.
It will be hard for the envoys to report back under such circumstances.
In the worst case scenario, you might even lose your head.
Your Majesty, we might be able to try another solution.
Tell me about it.
Although Princess An Le is alive
only a few people apart from Your Majesty and me know about it.
Most people weren't informed.
Why don't we just let most people think that Princess An Le took her life?
However, the Rourans think that it was Li Wei Young who killed her.
We have misunderstood her.
We later found a will among the princess's belongings.
Please take a look.
[Dear brother, I'm not in danger or afraid of the marital treaty.]
[However, I already have a sweetheart, so I can only take my life.]
You have already decided to make Princess An Le take her life?
I believe that it is what Princess An Le wishes.
However, if the princess takes her life, your Khan would still punish you.
It's still better than having the princess's escape
made known to the world.
If so, you will owe me a favor.
What do you think of it?
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
Many decisions are not made by me.
Although Great Wei and Rouran are neighboring nations
our people rarely interact with each other.
We also have different customs and traditions.
You brought up mutual trading.
That isn't impossible either.
If Rouran wishes to establish mutual trading with Great Wei
you will have to agree to a few of my conditions.
As for the details, Prince of Gaoyang will discuss them with you.
I wonder what you think about that.
Mutual trading shall be a most joyous event between our nations.
I thank Your Majesty on behalf of our Khan.
Prince Yuan Lie and I will stay to sign the treaty
and see to all related matters.
The prince will be able to take charge of everything on behalf of our Khan.
If so, this is a happy ending!
Sister Wei Young, I offended you in many ways.
Please don't take it to heart.
You're Min De's sister.
That makes you my sister as well.
As your older sister, why would I hold it against you?
You're no longer a princess now.
Life won't be the same anymore.
Will you regret it?
I've thought it through.
You win some, you lose some.
I won't regret it.
We will give you our blessings.
May you always be happy.
May you both find your beloved ones soon.
It's getting late.
He's already waiting to meet with you. We should get going.
I have to leave now.
May we meet again.
Let's go.
An Le's sweetheart never gave up on her.
He must be truly devoted to her.
If not, An Le wouldn't leave everything behind to be with him.
Happiness is something that we can strive for.
Now that you won't be married off to Rouran
do you have the courage to pursue your own happiness?
Done!
Let's get ready to leave.
My brother!
Why do you seem so glum today?
You can't bear to see me leave?
I'm happy that you got what you wanted.
Signing the trading treaty is just an excuse for you to stay here.
You're not from here and you don't have any family in Great Wei.
Why do you have to stay here?
Who said that I don't have family in Great Wei?
Wei Young... is my family.
You don't really just regard Wei Young as your sister, do you?
Smart woman.
The look in your eyes clearly betrayed your feelings.
Wei Young is so smart and yet she hasn't noticed it after such a long time.
It proves that she doesn't feel the same way.
Wei Young has no affection for you.
I know that.
However, as long as she can be happy, I'm content.
Although Wei Young isn't fond of you
I could tell that someone else likes you a lot.
- Who is it? - Princess Shang Gu is so cute!
Why don't you consider her?
Li Min De.
I love you.
Enough now.
Don't worry about me.
You'd better take care of yourself!
That would make me happy. Let's go.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
We have finally resolved the issue with the envoy of Rouran.
Li Wei Young, you have suffered.
How should I make it up to you?
Your Majesty cleared my name.
I should be the one to thank Your Majesty.
I never thought that you could break out of prison
pick a fight, and talk back.
You can even solve cases.
And there's a lot of strange ideas in her brain as well.
I'm really curious.
What is there that I still don't know about in that head of yours?
Therefore, I decided to promote you to my personal maid.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Wei Young, congratulations!
That makes you an imperial maid!
Get up to talk.
Li Wei Young, you mustn't let me down.
However, Your Majesty, you mustn't get your hopes up.
Jun Tao!
Jun Tao, you're alive!
I knew that you didn't die!
You have such a bad temper.
How could the god of the netherworld take you in?
I missed you so much.
I thought that I'd never see you again.
Do you know that when I heard of your death...
my heart was broken?
You wanted so much to kill me that day.
How can you blame me for that?
Crown Princess Consort never treated me as an outsider.
She was like a mother to me!
Everyone said your mistress was the murderer that day.
What would you have me do?
No matter what others say, you should believe me!
I do.
Even if everyone says that you're a man
I believe that you're a woman if you say so.
I am a woman!
A woman.
Only a woman would be so adorable.
Go to hell! Die!
It would be even better if you were a bit more gentle.
I was so bored in the palace and wanted to come out to play.
Who knew that you'd ask me to come with you?
You truly are my best friend.
The view here is so beautiful.
Wei Young, how did you find this place?
I didn't.
I wouldn't dare take credit for it.
We said to meet up here.
Where are they?
Who else have you invited?
Prince Yuan Lie, you know that Wei Young and I had a misunderstanding.
I also believe that you don't really mean what you said.
Why don't we just smile and make up?
Shake my hand and bury the hatchet.
By the way, I have to make some matters clear to you.
When can you find evidence to convict Li Chang Le
of your mother's murder and clear Wei Young's name?
Your Highness left Great Wei for some time
so you're not aware of some things.
This case implicates many.
If we act hastily, it will only get Wei Young in trouble.
I hope this isn't just your excuse.
If you intend to keep both women and hurt Wei Young's feelings
then as her cousin, I won't let you off!
Then I will think of ways to take Wei Young away from here.
Both of you are actually here?
You made us come looking for you!
Fine. Fishing is so much fun, but you won't even bring me along.
You're both so mean!
Wei Young is still the best.
She thinks of me at all times.
I also think that Wei Young is the best.
Aunt Di, I've done wrong.
Let's go catch a fish for the princess.
That will make it up to you. All right?
That sounds more like it.
Both of you must meet up quite often because of the mutual trading treaty.
Jun, the prince is an old friend.
Don't bully him.
Aunt Di, personal relationships and work should be kept apart.
I'm also just like you.
We finally get a chance for an outing.
You're not to bring up such upsetting matters.
How about this? Ninth Princess can go fishing with Min De.
His Highness and I will look for fruit.
Let's go.
Move it.
Let's go.
Wei Young!
I'll go with you.
You should just go fishing.
Min De! Take good care of the princess!
- Wei Young! - Let's go.
Are you giving my aunt and Li Min De some time alone?
Are you saying that my aunt and Li Min De...
You're so slow! Did you just notice it?
Her Highness likes Min De a lot.
Does Li Min De also like my aunt?
- Are you sure? - Of course.
Ninth Princess is adorable and kind.
Min De likes her a lot as well.
He's just too proud to admit it.
If he gets a few more chances
I'm sure that they will end up together.
I'm glad that you're not always so smart.
Let's go.
That doesn't seem right. Aren't we going in the wrong direction?
Isn't the orchard over there?
It's the right direction.
I know that you're upset about Li Chang Ru
so I've prepared a gift specially for you.
- A gift? - Come with me.
Such beautiful flowers!
Do you like them, Wei Young?
There are so many of them! It's so beautiful!
I definitely like them!
This is my favorite flower.
But why would there be so many here?
I planted all of them myself.
You planted so many flowers yourself.
- You're lying. - Why?
Ever since you became a servant in the palace
I had to ignore you even when I got to see you.
I saw that you were suffering, but I couldn't comfort you.
When that happened, I'd come here to plant more flowers.
When I thought of the day you would see these flowers
I could find my courage again.
Wei Young.
Although these aren't rare flowers...
I planted them one by one for you.
I hope that however many years go by
you'll always think of me when you think of this field of flowers.
I want you to know that you're not alone in this world.
No matter how others may bully you or upset you
I will never let you down.
I, Tuoba Jun, will always stay by your side.
Wei Young.
Can you feel my affection for you?
In this world, you are the one who loves me the most.
We went through so much together.
We are of the same mind.
There's no need for words.
I had the honor of meeting my soul mate.
What more can I ask for?
Will you start the fire or clean the fish?
- Clean the fish? - What is it?
That's so bloody!
You... Don't come any closer!
Why are you so scared?
Who's scared?
A princess stays clear of the kitchen.
I will definitely choose to start the fire.
All right then.
I'll have to be the mediocre man instead for the princess.
Li Min De, you're so mean!
Come here!
What's wrong?
- I got ashes in my eyes. - Let me take a look.
Don't rub your eyes.
Don't move.
Is it better now?
Look at you. You can't even start a fire.
You said that if my father insisted on marrying me off to Rouran
you would take me away.
Did you really mean it?
Stop fooling around.
Would you be scared if my father sent his army after you?
I'm asking you a question! Would you be scared?
Why do you have so many questions? How annoying.
Are you going back on your promise?
I knew it! You wouldn't take me with you!
You're angry?
I promised to take you with me.
Even if His Majesty sends his entire army to arrest me
I will still take you away with me.
Why does this sound so corny?
Look at you. You can't clean a fish or start a fire.
What else can you do?
You should start a fire like this.
You have to use the branches to build a structure.
Then you put the leaves underneath it.
Then the fire won't go out.
I'll see if your fire goes out.
What are you doing?
Li Min De, your face...
What about my face?
You...
This is too funny!
I dare you to laugh at me again!
Stop right there!
Wei Young greets Grandmother.
Greetings to Master Li.
Greetings to Mother.
You aren't a member of the Li family.
There's no need to stand on such ceremony.
We asked you over to inquire after Chang Ru.
Although Chang Ru isn't my daughter
she does use our family name.
Wei Young, I've been thinking that Chang Ru has always been gentle and kind.
She couldn't possibly commit treason.
There must have been a misunderstanding of some sort.
Although she is now carrying Prince of Nan-An's child
the emperor's thoughts can never be predicted.
Who knows how he might punish Chang Ru in the future?
Wei Young, you're now the imperial maid.
His Majesty trusts you.
Could you plead with His Majesty to let Chang Ru come home?
Exactly.
How could a pregnant woman live alone without her family to care for her?
Wei Young, plead with His Majesty on behalf of Chang Ru.
I'm sorry, Grandmother.
Mother, I will have to let you down.
I can't help Chang Ru.
If she wasn't carrying a child, the crimes she committed
would have had her killed many times over.
What do you mean by that?
She is behind Third Aunt's death.
Bai Zhi...
She murdered her in cold blood.
This is...
Li Wei Young!
Li Wei Young, don't make such slanderous accusations!
You must have framed her!
I'll fight it out with you today!
- I'll beat you to death! - Madam! Stop it!
Stop it!
- Stop it! - Let go of me!
Stop it!
Wei Young, are you all right?
Mother, I'm fine.
Wei Young, is what you said true?
Should I utter even one lie, I'm willing to be punished by the gods.
Old Madam! You mustn't believe such nonsense!
Ever since she came to our family, nothing good has happened!
Min Feng died.
Xue Mei died.
Even Chiyun Rou is dead.
Now Brother-in-law had his salary confiscated
and even Chang Ru was framed!
I'm begging you, Brother-in-law!
Chang Ru has been detained in the palace while carrying a child.
Who knows what will happen to her in the future?
If anything goes wrong, she might even be killed!
Brother-in-law!
Grandmother, whether you believe me or not, I told you the truth.
If Chang Ru could be forgiven for all the crimes she committed
when will those innocent souls she took rest in peace?
Grandmother, I'm sorry.
The favor you asked of me... I can't do it.
Li Wei Young! You're from Liang!
If it wasn't for the Li family, how would you have survived until now?
You'll die a tragic death for being so ungrateful!
You'll suffer retribution!
Just wait and see!
Since you're already with child, you could have told me sooner
and I would have been able to help you.
But in your predicament...
There's nothing I can do now.
I understand that Your Grace feels bad for me.
I don't have anything else in mind now
apart from giving birth to His Highness's child safely
to expand his family tree.
It's always good to think so.
I'm here to remind Your Grace that
since His Highness isn't marrying the princess of Rouran
Your Grace should pick out a consort for him.
You seem to be implying something.
I don't know how to put it.
I've been true to His Highness, but he always misunderstands me.
Just speak your mind.
Your Grace, His Highness is very fond of Li Wei Young.
He wants to take her as his consort.
I've advised him against it many times
and he's misunderstood me as a narrow-minded person.
This won't do.
Prince of Nan-An must not marry that woman.
However, I wonder if that woman has some bewitching powers
and managed to gain control over him.
Prince of Nan-An is now obsessed with her.
Please try to talk him out of it.
His Highness will only listen to Your Grace now.
Your Grace, Prince of Nan-An seeks audience.
If His Highness knows that I'm here
who knows what he would think of me?
Go hide first.
I will get answers out of him today.
Yes, Your Grace.
Yu greets Mother.
Is the banquet all arranged?
Don't worry, Mother.
Everything is prepared.
Times have changed.
You should mingle more often with imperial officials these days.
Moreover, if there is a suitable candidate
you could consider getting married.
I brought this topic up to His Majesty last night.
His Majesty seems to feel bad for you because of the princess of Rouran.
He's keen on finding you a talented and virtuous young woman.
Tell me.
Is there any lady you are fond of?
Mother, thank you for your concern.
However, there is no rush in selecting my consort.
How could we not be anxious about it?
Even Prince of Gaoyang is already married.
You don't even have a legal consort yet.
I think that Imperial Professor Ma's daughter is quite lovely.
She's well-educated, sensible, elegant, and virtuous.
She seems a great match for you.
If you're happy with it, I'll report it to His Majesty right away.
Should we seal the deal?
Imperial Professor Ma's daughter might be quite nice
but she is still too young.
I am often out at battles.
She won't make a good match for me.
I suddenly thought of an urgent matter.
Forgive me for leaving now.
It seems that you're right.
Li Wei Young.
One wrong step and he could lose the entire game.
Your Grace will have to think of a way to stop His Highness in time.
[Inn]
Your Highness, our Khan wrote to inform us
that our cavalry has arrived at the border of Wei!
We just need the "Chart of Six Elements in Army Defense"!
What are you still waiting for?
Once the six elements are deciphered
Great Wei will lose its protective barrier.
By then, lives will be taken again!
People of Wei will be killed along with the Rourans!
That's nothing compared to the benefits that Rouran could gain from this!
Once we get the document
the army of Rouran could take down territories north of the Yellow River.
By then, we are only one river across from Liu Song!
I'm already discussing mutual trading with Prince of Gaoyang.
This treaty will benefit the people of both nations.
Why can't we put an end to war and opt for peace?
Attack the nearest and befriend the farthest.
Great Wei and Rouran have always been enemies.
Your Highness, hesitate no more.
No.
I'd never do anything to hurt civilians.
- Your Highness! - Shut up!
If Your Highness refuses to consent to it
I'm afraid Li Wei Young's life will be in danger.
I dare you to lay a finger on her!
There's nothing that I won't do for Rouran.
- You... - My prince.
We're running out of time.
The banquet tonight at Prince of Nan-An's is the best chance we have.
According the our informant here in Great Wei
the chart is most likely to be hidden in the Privy Council.
The key to the Privy Council is in Prince of Nan-An's manor.
If you wish to keep Li Wei Young safe
you will have to make up your mind.
Tonight... will be the best time to take action.
Your Highness is amazing in the deployment of troops.
I'm so impressed.
It's my greatest honor to have Prince Yuan Lie
and Master Envoy here tonight at my banquet.
Thank you, Your Highness.
The prince and I can be seen as past acquaintances.
Please make yourself at home.
Your Highness, Imperial Professor Liu has invited you.
Do excuse me.
Help yourselves to drinks.
Yes, Your Highness.
After you, Your Highness.
I've discovered that the key to the Privy Council
is hidden in a secret drawer here in the study.
Security is airtight in the manor.
How am I to find my way into the study?
To serve Rouran faithfully, all means are to be used.
If you wish to enter the inner court of the manor
you could make use of Princess Shang Gu.
I don't wish to involve anyone else.
Li Wei Young's life is now in your hands.
Li Min De!
Min De, you're here?
I was looking for you.
What are you chatting about?
We're discussing the mutual trading treaty.
You must have had a hard time these days.
You look worn out.
If you wish to enter the inner court of the manor
you could make use of Princess Shang Gu.
Li Wei Young's life is now in your hands.
Let's go in.
Li Min De, are you all right?
My head...
My head suddenly hurts for no reason.
It might be that I haven't gotten enough rest these days.
What should I do?
Why don't I get someone to escort you back to the inn?
It's probably inappropriate to leave halfway through the banquet.
I just need to find a place where I can sit and get some rest.
Come with me.
Li Min De, hang in there.
Hang in there.
How are you feeling?
- You don't have a fever. - I'm fine.
Go and get me some water?
Master Wu, Prince of Nan-An has rendered great services recently.
He's much favored by His Majesty.
Exactly. We will have to interact with him more often now.
Here, have some wine.
Good wine.
Your Highness.
Someone has sneaked into the study.
