[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 53]
- Your Majesty, I have a report. - Go ahead.
In regards to Prince of Gaoyang's mutiny
after my investigation
it was his subordinate Cheng De who colluded with Rouran.
Prince of Gaoyang is actually innocent.
Please look into it, Your Majesty.
Release Prince of Gaoyang.
Is that so?
I'll surely look into it.
Rouran sent an official call to arms stating that
Your Majesty killed your father for the throne.
It was patricide.
It's now inciting other nations to launch an attack on Your Majesty.
Rouran dares to betray me so openly?
When I take down Rouran, I'll wipe them out completely.
Your Majesty, Prince Yuan Lie has always held Great Wei in the highest regard.
I believe he must have misunderstood Your Majesty.
If Your Majesty could release Prince of Gaoyang
and let him talk him around
it's only a matter of time before Yuan Lie pledges allegiance.
Release Prince of Gaoyang to reason with Rouran?
Dear Official Gao, if you said so in the past
I might have given it some thought.
But now...
My dear subjects, take a look for yourselves.
Bring Prince of Gaoyang in here!
Who is this?
Isn't this Prince of Gaoyang?
How could this be Prince of Gaoyang?
Why has Prince of Gaoyang become like this?
What has he gone through?
What happened?
Why has Prince of Gaoyang become like this?
Your Highness, do you not recognize me?
Wine!
Your Highness! Your Highness...
What happened to Prince of Gaoyang?
Good wine!
- Take him away. - Your Highness.
Wine.
Your Highness!
Your Highness...
- Your Highness! - Prince of Gaoyang!
Why has Prince of Gaoyang become like this?
Your Highness...
Do you see that?
That is what Prince of Gaoyang has become.
How is he to reason with those rebels?
If I were to hand this Prince of Gaoyang over to the rebels
who could ensure his safety?
And who is to say that the rebels won't make use of him to stir up trouble?
You have done well.
These rewards are all from me.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Tuoba Yu, I've agreed to marry you.
When will you free Tuoba Jun?
Does it make any difference whether I free him or not?
Haven't you heard that he's already insane?
Do you think that he is?
Fine.
I'd like you to see for yourself if he's really lost his mind or not.
Bring Tuoba Jun!
The sword...
My sword fell into the water.
Good sword!
Mother, someone is stepping on me!
Tuoba Jun.
Could you put up with anything in order to survive?
This is all there is to you?
He's already lost his mind.
Stop torturing him.
I dare you to step on me!
You ungrateful thing!
All of you think that he's gone crazy, but I don't believe it.
You stepped on me!
I thought of a way to test him.
Li Chang Le.
I think that you know what this is.
It is a secret poison produced by the Chiyun family.
It takes effect in a month.
Without the antidote, you will die from festering intestines.
You should know what I have in mind.
I have food and you don't.
Do you want to try this?
Candy!
Is it good?
It's tasty!
I want more!
It's gone.
Uncle, I want candy.
I want candy.
My sword. What is my sword doing here?
Is there even any humanity in you?
A good sword indeed.
He is your nephew.
You have forgotten about the third condition I listed.
I won't marry a man who went back on his word.
Fine.
I will agree to it.
I'll release him immediately.
After our wedding, I will give him the antidote.
My candy!
Candy...
Why would His Majesty have the Chiyun family's poison?
General must have given it to Your Majesty when he was alive.
Is there any antidote left?
As far as I know, there is only one dose of antidote left.
After General died, no one else in the world can make the antidote.
Do rise.
I did what I promised you.
Now, it's time for you to keep your promise.
I won't go back on my word.
Your Majesty, are you really going to set him free?
Even if he is a lunatic, he can't get out of my hands
but since he is soon to be dead
there isn't much to worry about.
You've finally come to visit me.
You're already so big now.
The child is almost due?
The midwife said that it should be in a couple of days.
Why have you asked to see me so urgently?
I heard that His Majesty is going to make Li Wei Young his empress.
You've been tucked away in here and you still get news?
I'm really impressed.
If Li Wei Young comes to power, will you still lead a good life?
She will never leave you alone.
If you can't tackle her, I can.
I'm carrying His Majesty's child.
This is His Majesty's firstborn.
He won't harm me.
As long as you can get me to see His Majesty
I'll have a way to deal with Li Wei Young.
Chang Le.
If you help me, you're helping yourself.
Chang Le!
I'm begging you.
Just help me.
I can get you to see His Majesty.
But you must not forget that you're already dead.
I'll leave this to you then, Chang Le.
The imperial kitchen made this specially for you.
Have some while it's hot.
I don't have any appetite.
If you don't have any appetite
why don't you have some ginger broth to warm you up?
Otherwise, His Majesty will surely punish me.
His Majesty arrives!
I heard that you asked to see me.
What is the matter? Speak up.
I was born a princess.
I want the grandest of all wedding ceremonies in the world.
Of course.
It has to be as grand as the wedding ceremony
of Emperor Taizu (founding emperor of Wei).
Emperor Taizu's wedding was held in the Grand Hall.
Sure.
My wedding will be held in the Grand Hall.
Are you happy now?
I will make you the most prestigious woman in the world.
Try and get Li Wei Young to take this poison.
Chang Le.
The child is already born?
Is it a son or a daughter?
It's His Majesty's firstborn son.
He looks just like Your Majesty.
His Majesty will surely like him very much when he sees him.
Chang Le, you helped me this time.
In the future, I will surely repay you.
Let's not worry about the future yet.
Now that you're no longer who you were
you'll have to put up with this maid's outfit
in order to avoid being seen.
I'm already very grateful that you could get me into the palace.
How could I complain about anything?
The sight of the palace is actually spectacular.
It isn't your first visit to the palace.
Why would you get emotional?
His Majesty was only Prince of Nan-An then.
When I first visited the palace, I just felt intimidated.
How would I dare comment on it?
Now that His Majesty is in power
all these halls and palaces belong to him.
I suddenly feel really familiar with these halls.
The palace might be huge, but just a wall apart makes two different worlds.
You'd better not forget about those days you spent
outside the palace immured and abandoned.
I will never forget it.
It was all because of Li Wei Young.
Once His Majesty announces amnesty for all
I can then return to his side with a just cause.
Your Highness is really going to help Li Chang Ru meet His Majesty?
In a month when Li Wei Young dies of poison
and Li Chang Ru happens to appear
doesn't that make her the perfect scapegoat?
Stay here for the time being.
As for your meals and daily essentials
I will get Hong Luo and Tan Xiang to bring them to you.
Thank you, Chang Le.
Let me remind you.
You might have to wait for some time before you could see His Majesty.
I'll sound him out first and then make arrangements.
There are too many people in the palace.
You mustn't wander off on your own
or else you might also get me in trouble.
I will obey your instructions.
I won't ever get you in trouble.
I must see His Majesty.
Hurry up. His Majesty is waiting for his ginseng soup! Quickly!
Yes.
Where are you going?
Li Chang Ru, how dare you play tricks on me?
You nearly got me in trouble.
Chang Le.
I'm begging you.
I miss His Majesty very much.
Let me see him.
Just once.
Have you forgotten what you promised me?
I won't let anyone discover me.
I just want to look at him from afar.
Just from afar.
No!
I'm doing this for your sake as well.
Chang Le.
If it's really for my sake, please help me.
Please, Chang Le!
If you keep pestering me like this
I will return you to where you came from!
Lock the door.
Send her water and food regularly.
Without my permission, she is not to leave this room.
Yes.
Chang Le!
Let me out!
Chang Le!
Let me out!
[Wei]
I finally get to have you.
From now on, you are my empress.
Bow!
Tuoba Yu!
Tuoba Jun!
You killed the emperor to usurp his throne!
Death awaits you today!
Kill all rebels!
Protect His Majesty!
Don't move!
Min De!
You did pretend to be insane.
You had this all planned right from the beginning.
I really hope that... none of this is true.
Then you could still be my uncle.
You have been deceiving me all along as well?
I would never disappoint the former emperor or collude with you.
Imperial officials!
When the former emperor passed away, he did leave behind an edict.
However, the throne was not to be passed on to Tuoba Yu.
The throne was to be passed on to Prince of Gaoyang, Tuoba Jun.
What? The throne is for Prince of Gaoyang?
How could this happen?
The former emperor found out that
Tuoba Yu framed and caused the death of Crown Prince Jing Mu.
The spy that Tuoba Yu planted by the emperor's side is Zong Ai!
He killed the former emperor!
He did it!
Prince of Nan-An did it!
Is this true?
Yes.
The former emperor told me himself before he passed away.
Why did you lie to us then?
It's because he threatened me with the lives of Prime Minister's family!
I had no choice but to give in temporarily.
However, little did you expect that before the former emperor passed away
he not only left me an oral edict
but also a secret of Great Wei that was passed down from generations of emperors.
I pass on the throne to Prince of Gaoyang.
Tuoba Jun.
And...
Within the palace is a secret passageway...
It leads you out of the city.
The entrance is within the Grand Hall.
This secret passageway was built to prevent mutiny.
This is only passed down to generations of emperors.
No one else knows about it.
You must tell Jun about it.
It's because of that we could turn the situation around now.
There's no evidence to prove it.
You said such nonsense in order to make Prince of Gaoyang the emperor.
If it was for my own benefit, I am already the empress now!
Why should I take such a risk?
I simply can't betray the former emperor's posthumous edict
to assist such a treacherous man to become the ruler.
I can't let those innocent souls turn over in their graves either.
Master Gao.
This concerns the honor of the imperial family.
Please guide the other officials out of the hall to give us some privacy.
We will take our leave now.
I'll keep watch outside!
It's now very clear to everyone who the real traitor is.
You should all know the answer.
Your duty is to protect the palace and the imperial family.
Not to be the pawns of a traitor!
Leave now!
Yes!
Tuoba Yu.
You had my parents killed.
You had Grandfather killed.
Just for your own personal gain
you stained your hands with the blood of your kin.
A person like you should be crushed in defeat.
I don't understand...
How did you manage to plan this?
The love between us isn't as fragile as you think it is.
Our vows and those days we pulled through together...
Have you forgotten about them?
If you want to remember those vows, remember them for life!
Listen up.
Your ending could only be associated with Rouran.
There's a secret passageway that leads right into the Grand Hall.
Await Prince of Gaoyang and meet up with him.
My and Tuoba Yu's wedding day is the day to eliminate all rebels.
Trust me.
I'd never lie to you.
Wei Young said that she'd never lie to me.
I believe her.
We said that we will always be together and will never part.
Those words that sounded like insults
was her hint to make me come up with a way to leave the palace
and look for Li Min De.
Your minds are so in sync.
Jun, you'd better not forget that you are still poisoned.
I have the antidote.
What happened?
Why is Jun Tao in the palace?
Arrest them!
Yes!
Your Highness!
How did this happen?
Where is His Majesty?
Prince of Gaoyang has seized your emperor.
Tuoba Jun?
Isn't he insane?
How did you get in here?
You didn't expect there to be a secret passageway in the palace.
Take them away!
- Yes! - Move it!
Let...
Let go of me!
- Let go of me! - Your Highness!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty...
Secret passageway...
Hand over the antidote.
Will you let me go if I give you the antidote?
Tuoba Yu, you have done so much evil.
The law won't condone you.
However, considering that you're still my uncle
I will give you a dignified death.
Jun.
I never needed anyone's pity.
I will have to die anyway.
Let both of us die together.
If I count the days, the poison must have already affected you.
Now that I have you with me on my way to the Netherworld
I won't be lonely.
It's not just the two of you.
But three.
Great.
I will let both of you end up as lovers in death.
Li Chang Le.
What have you done?
What now?
She was poisoned with the same drug as yours.
Tuoba Jun.
You must feel such agony.
Take her away!
Move it!
Destiny...
It's destiny.
Where is the antidote?
Tell me where the antidote is!
Wei Young!
- Wei Young! - Wei Young!
Wei Young, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Tuoba Yu.
I promise that as long as you hand over the antidote
I will spare your life.
Tuoba Yu, you want to kill me?
Sure.
But I beg you to spare Tuoba Jun
for the fact that you both share the same royal blood.
I have never once begged anyone in my life.
Before I die, I beg you...
I beg you to spare Tuoba Jun.
Wei Young.
Wei Young!
Fine.
I will hand over the antidote.
Jun, come with me.
Li Min De!
Wei Young, wait for me.
- Don't move! - I'll be right back.
Wei Young... Wei Young!
Hang in there.
You'll get the antidote soon.
Why is there only one left?
Exactly. There is only one dose.
You and Li Wei Young...
Only one of you are destined to survive.
Tuoba Jun.
I'd really like to know how you will make this choice.
If it were Wei Young, she would surely give the antidote to me.
Likewise.
I'd want her to stay alive.
I hope that she could always have a better life than mine.
Tuoba Yu...
You know nothing of love.
Foolish.
Uncle, I'll ask you for a favor.
If you really once loved Wei Young, don't tell her a word about this.
Secret passageway...
I must find the secret passageway.
Secret passageway...
Your Majesty, wait for me.
Wei Young, I have the antidote.
- Did you take it? - I did.
Are you cured of the poison?
Tuoba Jun.
I'm just teasing you.
This isn't some miracle pill.
How could I recover right away?
But I already feel much better now.
Here. Take yours quickly.
You'll be fine now that you took it.
We finally pulled through this.
Stop holding on to her.
Let go.
Wei Young, let's go.
Why are your hands so cold?
Tuoba Jun!
