Episode 20
Ruoxi
I don't care
what happened between
you and 8th Brother in the past
Since you have a promise with 4th Brother
you have to treat him well
How did you know?
Does the 4th Prince know?
4th Brother doesn't know
First of all, you hide it well
Secondly, everyone thinks that there is something going on between you and 14th Brother
I'm only asking you because I'm a little inebrieted
Who knew, I was actually right.
You cannot let the 4th Prince know.
I promise you
But aren't you
thinking of 4th Brother as a little too petty?
Zuo Ying can be tolerant towards Min Min,
why can't 4th Brother be tolerant towards you?
I've never felt
that a woman before marriage
cannot like someone else
Of course, I wouldn't mind him knowing
If it was 10th Prince or 14th Prince
or any other person
I would have told him long ago.
But I can't since it's 8th Prince.
What do you mean?
I cannot tell you
But it's true
For 8th Prince's sake, I can't tell him.
Whether it's now or later
even if he doesn't mind it.
But I cannot take this risk
This risk
I cannot afford
Though I don't understand why
But I trust you
You must have your own reasons.
How fortunate I am
to have you as a friend
Actually,
4th Brother hides his ideas very deeply.
And it's extremely hard for him to get to close to anyone.
Such people are easy to suffer alone.
Although I can help to share some of his worries,
however, he is lonesome after all.
But you are different from everybody else
Although you aren't highly educated
But I've always felt
you're not any less well-read than us
You've even studied things that we haven't
Ruoxi, as long as you are willing
you really can open 4th Brother heart.
And only you can
Because you can understand his ambition.
and understand his pain
There are a few other things
I might as well simply tell you today.
Otherwise, I don't know when
I will get a chance to in future
You have to remember this well
Now that you're in the palace
all that you have
comes from receiving Imperial Father's favors
Imperial Father trusts you
because you don't have any hidden agenda.
You don't take anyone's side
or push down anyone.
You just wholeheartedly serve Imperial Father
But
if you get involved
in our brothers' feud
you will lose everything you have.
Ruoxi, in this deep palace
the ending results will be too dreadful to ponder.
This has always been a fight amongst us men
We do this
for obtaining more wishes,
secret desires
and even more rank and honor.
To sit in the highest position,
regardless of the results,
is all that we
knowingly accept.
But you? Why do you
make sacrifices for our personal battles?
They should not be your sacrifices.
Why all of a sudden tell me all that?
Because 8th Brother is your brother-in-law
let alone, you and him...
as well as 10th Brother and 14th Brother
are people whom you cannot part with.
But since your promised 4th Brother that
you will be 4th Brother's woman,
I'm afraid that in a moment of haste
you will get involved in our struggle
I know
watching everything that's happening
will make you suffer.
But if you get involved,
you will suffer even more.
This is the royal family
where it's impossible to avoid feuding and suffering.
No one can stop it.
Even wise and farsighted Imperial Father
can only helplessly
watch events unfold.
Not to mention you.
Ruoxi
I just want you to follow 4th Brother safely
and treat him well
Everything else is secondary
Whoever wins and whoever loses
That's between the lot of us
Didn't we agree
to get drunk tonight?
Let's not talk about these banal subjects. Come.
Jie'jie, you're awake.
Yu Tan
When you came back last night
was I already asleep?
You were sleeping soundly
Jie`jie, it's getting late
do you want me to take over your shift?
No need. I'll go right away.
Slow down!
Ruoxi Jie`jie
Your majesty is holding court.
His face doesn't look too good...
Jie'jie, you need to be careful.
Alright.
I have already ordered
if among any princes
anyone who schemes against the Crown Prince,
is a traitor to the country, commited a crime!
Did you order someone, through various means of communication
to spread rumors and slander
loudly of the Crown Prince's actions
to the Manchurian officials in the capital city
and the citizens of Jiangnan province
Making it seems as if the Crown Prince's public image
might raise question to his sucession to the throne
that anytime he might lose his position.
What a conniving, devious Yong Qin Wang!
Respectfully, Imperial Father
this is not my doing.
Your subject is guilty. Your subject is guilty.
This matter definitely has nothing to do with 4th Prince
It is all our doings.
You two are for sure loyal
but do you still see me as your king?
For the past 2-3 years,
you two have been secretly dealing with 4th Prince
where and with what people.
All that evidence has been recorded
If they weren't doing all this for you,
don't tell me it's for themselves to covet the Crown Prince's status.
Even though I have conversed with them before
But I have never instructed them to do that sort of thing
I hope it's not 4th Brother
Otherwise, you will only suffer with him
and my efforts
in helping you out would be in vain
He was the one who set up Fourth prince
Killing two birds with one stone (idiom)
Striking a blow at the Crown prince and also getting rid of Fourth prince
E'ling'e, Kui'xu
were the ones who spread rumours everywhere
On the surface they appear to be shielding Fourth prince
but in actual fact they are carrying out Eight prince's orders
to frame Fourth prince
He really thought through this plan very carefully and methodically
I only know that the Crown prince will be stripped of his title this year
But what about Fourth prince?
Thirteenth prince
Thirteenth brother
Since things have come to this stage
Imperial Father will find out the truth sooner or later
I will make my confession now
This matter was my doing I secretly incited E'ling'e and Kui'xu
Under the pretext of Fourth brother's name
I ordered them to spread rumours everywhere
Since everything has been exposed today
then no one should think of shedding responsibility
Thirteenth brother
Your words are really strange
Everyone knows that you and Fourth brother
are inseparable companions
Your intentions is as good as saying it's Fourth brother's intentions?
Imperial Father just ask E'ling'e and Kui'xu
whether I'm the one who instructed them in the matter
You'll know the answer immediately
What is the truth of the matter?
The, the
Imperial Father
In my opinion
this matter is not something Fourth brother would do
Fourth brother is like a hermit
He often meditates and recites scriptures in his residence
He is usually is the most filial
He is always considerate of Imperial Father's regard
He definitely won't do something so immoral
I deserve death
What Thirteenth prince has said is the truth
Yes yes, it was Thirteenth prince
This year
on the eighth day of the third month
there was a secret meeting at Qu'hua'lou
where he gave us the instructions
Spreading rumours about all the Crown prince's trangressions
were his orders
I won't dare to fool your Imperial highness
That's right, that's right
Fourth prince
is all this really Thirteenth prince doing?
This question is a trap
To answer yes or no wouldn't be right
This matter was not my doing
I also have no idea
if it was Thirteenth brother's doing
Third prince
Yes
Thirteenth prince is to be
placed under house arrest at Yang'feng'jia'dao
Without my permission
no one is allowed to visit him
With regards to E'ling'e and Kui'xu
they will be handed over to Ministry of Justice for investigations and punishment
Yes
I obey your decree and offer my gratitude
Thirteenth prince, from today onwards is our separation
Court is dismissed
Go back.
For the sake of Thirteenth prince, please go back.
Fourth prince has not entered the palace for many days
Greetings to Li Gong Gong.
No need.
Thirteen prince has been
exiled for seven days already
Fourth prince is quietly reflecting at home
and is avoiding all politics
I'm afraid that during this time
he won't be entering the palace
Because of this matter, the emperor
is extremely sad
As the person serving at the emperor's side,
you should be aware of the appropriate behaviour
Things that should not be said should not be spoken
Unwelcomed sympathy
should just be felt in your heart
By all means avoid trouble
Much thanks Li'gong'gong for your reminders
You're are an intelligent person
I don't need to say too much
Li'gong'gong
Jie'jie
What's up with you
Nothing much, just feeling a little dizzy
Are you falling sick?
Why don't you go back and rest for awhile?
Please handle my duties
Little brother
I beg of you Please help me pass a message to Fourth prince
Lu'wu has an important matter to discuss with him
Fourth prince has stated that he won't be entertaining visitors
He won't meet with anyone
If Fourth prince refuses to see me today
I will continue to kneel down here
If after a long while, Fourth prince still refuses to see me
I will be kneeling down here for a very long time
Suit yourself
Wang'ye
I understand what Wang'ye is going through now
Thirteenth brother has accompanied you
for so many years
Today, he took the rap for you
He must know
your suffering and how helpless you are
Thirteenth brother knows me and trusts me
And yet he has fallen into this state
Wang'ye, I believe
you definitely won't let Thirteenth brother continue suffering
You'll definitely be able to save Thirteenth brother
Wang ye.
Why are you so flustered? Have you forgotten our house rules?
I know my mistake now, please forgive me.
Forget it. Stand up and talk
There's a woman outside...
asking to see you. She said she's Luwu.
I told her that you won't see anyone...
but she said she will kneel outside till you see her.
She's really a love sick fool
But for now
even if I can think of some ideas
I won't be able to do anything
Give her my reply
tell her
Kneeling down outside my residence
will only be wasting her time
let her leave early
Yes
Hurry up and leave. Wang'ye said
You are only wasting your time
There is no use
Hurry and leave
Leave. Hurry and leave
4th prince really said that
13th prince
From today on,
Who will drink wine with you?
Listen to you playing the flute
and have a heart to heart talk about all matters?
Ruo'xi
Since you're here, why didn't you answer me?
So you really are planning
from now on, besides a greeting
you aren't going to talk to us
Can I drink some wine?
You are a prince
If you want to drink, who can stop you?
Ruo'xi
I know you and 13th prince are good friends
But we are also
friends since we were young
How can you favour one and discriminate against the others?
And also
many things depends on one's standpoint
that's no right or wrong
Are you here to rebuke me today?
I don't have the mood to listen
This is Lu'wu's letter for you
To see me, Luwu,
in front of my door
she knelt for one day and one night
before she begged a servant to help her pass on a message
I heard that Lu'wu
also sat in front of 4th prince's door
but no one bothered about her
Because of a lack of better options, she came to find me
Lu'wu wants to take care of 13th prince
Do you think it's possible?
If you are going to reply
then hurry up and write
I will take the letter to her when I go out
So as to cure her of her sentimentalism as soon as possible
How do you know the contents of the letter?
Lu'wu begged me as well
but the Emperor already said
without the imperial edict
nobody can visit him
Originally, I didn't want to
help her deliver the letter
but I felt pity for her painstaking efforts
I thought of the friendship between you and Thirteenth brother
Maybe, your words
can persuade her
Please do your best to advise her
Lu'wu is looking extremely haggard these days
Even if I have a heart of stone
I also cannot bear to see her like this
So you really don't have any ideas?
Ruo'xi, if I could fulfill her wish
I would happily help her
Don't tell me that in your heart
I'm so cold blooded
Nothing can be done, because of Imperial Father
has already made a decree
Nowadays
if I have anything to do with Thirteenth brother
Imperial Father will have suspicions about me
being connected to the spreading rumours matter
That the matter was not the will of Thirteenth brother alone
Even Fourth brother is scrambling to
cut ties with Thirteenth brother
Much less us
For now, no one
dares to speak up for Thirteenth brother
All this was originally the doing of your faction
of course you all must behave more carefully
If you are scolding me in your heart, go ahead and say it aloud
This letter, are you going to reply or not
Lu'wu, this person is lowly and has no power
although I have no hope of results
but I will still do my best
Please wait for my news
Take good care of yourself
if not you will have no strength
and will be unable to take care of Thirteenth prince then
It is sealed this tight
are you scared I'm going to secretly look at it?
Written for Lu'wu
it is all girl-to-girl talk
I don't want Lu'wu to feel embarrassed
14th prince
Please inform your doorkeeper
that when he sees Lu'wu, to behave in a courteous manner
Don't worry, I've already done so
To see her or not is up to me
But I won't allow him to be negligent
Thank you very much
Ruo'xi, there are some things
I know I shouldn't say But...
Then don't say it
Whether the feelings between you and Fourth brother are real
or fake
it should end here
You are an intelligent person
Don't make things hard for yourself unnecessarily
Su'ma'la'gu's favourite season is autumn
She said
that it is more splendid than spring
I also remembered
Gu'gu standing under the yellow
maidenhair tree, smiling and singing songs
The songs she can sing are a lot
On the grasslands
The best singer
is not as good as her
Yes
Emperor
Shall I
tell your story to relieve your boredom?
Fine
If is a good story, I will reward you
In the Western Jin dynasty,
there was a lady named Lu'zhu
she was a wealthy and famous courtesan
This story I've already heard before
There was a lady named Lin'si'niang
She was originally a singer from Qin'huai
Later on she became Emperor Qin's
favourite and pampered concubine
This, I have also heard of
Change it
Emperor, these girls
Although they may have a lowly background
but they are chivalrous and full of righteousness
To repay their benefactor's favour and kindness
they sacrificed their lives
Shouldn't they be considered worthy of respect
They can be considered as outstanding women
Surpassing many men in this world
Emperor
What if there is
an outstanding lady is willing to repay her benefactor who kindly protected her
even if that means she will be sacrificed
That person is
the close female friend of 13 prince
Her name is Lu Wu
In the capital city, Lu Wu is
a famous cultured harlot
I have seen her previously
A pitiful life
but she has a open-minded personality
Her inherent quality
is self-valued and self-respect
Her relationship to 13th prince was not using his position
to seek connection
Now that she heard that 13th prince is placed under house arrest
She through other people
sent a letter to Ruo'xi
Every word of her is filled with tears and every sentence with real emotion
All she asks for is to suffer with 13th prince together
To take care of his daily life
Ruo'xi
You are relying on my favor to you
You dare to say anything
You dare to do anything
Li'de'quan
Emperor
Let's go back to the palace
Yes
Emperor
You are a noble man
please grant Luwu's wish
your servant is willing to withstand any punishment
is it HER wish or YOUR wish?
Punish you?
You couldn't handle my punishment
So all of that was useless
Lu'wu
Ruoxi has failed you
How is Ruo'xi?
Responding to the Emperor,
Ruo'xi is still bowing in the garden
She is stubborn.
No wonder she is called the Death-Seeking 13th sister
If she wants to bow, let her
My good sister,
how can you be so confused
nobody dares to mention 13th brother's situation
How can you
My master said
he will find the opportunity
to help Jie'jie ask for forgiveness
just endure for a little longer
At this time Lu'Wu
is probably crying inwardly
The lonesome 13th prince
probably could only look up
Only stars are his companions
His flute will sound sound but no one there to comfort him
drink
DRINK
Wang'ye
what?
News from the palace
Today afternoon
Miss Ruoxi, for Thirteenth Prince's problem
contradicted the Emperor
Now she is kneeling in the Garden as a punishment
Go
Yes
Two sisters
They're both the same
have the same stubborn personality
8th brother
Today Ruoxi had a conflict with Imperial Father.
I know
Little quieter
Don't disturb Ruolan
I don't want her to be worrying about this.
The news must be kept from 10th Brother too
He's reckless
I'm scare that after he hears about it
he will do something and get himself in trouble.
8th brother
Do you have any solutions to save Ruoxi?
You also know what the current situation is
Nobody can save her
But you know Ruoxi's temperament
okay, don't say any more
You should also lookout for yourself.
Dont do any useless action
Jie'jie, what are you doing?
You didn't come home at all last night.
I only heard this morning that your punishment is to kneel in the garden.
What happened?
Go back
Right now the Emperor is really mad
If he knows you came to see me
you will also be involved.
Jie'jie
Hurry and leave
You don't even listen to my words
Here
Wear it
The weather may change unexpectedly
Wind blows and rain pours when will it ends
The crude window and house, everyeone would say it is secluded
I am drinking the left over wine and remember about yesterday
Yesterday it was beauty's hands lighting red candle, today suddenly I become hoary head
During this rain
someone's willing to stand next to be to
bear and suffer the pain with me.
Go Back
Your care and thought I have already accepted them
Ruo'xi, how can you dare
Even if you don't love yourself
you should care about Ruolan
Your body is weak to begin with.
Why do you cause her to worry?
I've commanded that no one
may gossip about you.
But how long can the secret last
Let's go back
8th brother, you leave first
I have some things to ask her
Right now you and I are both helpless.
We can only look at his good fortune
Even 4th prince
can only watch
Tackling this situation with emotions is not only useless,
but it will also enrage the Emperor.
8th brother, I just have a few things
to clarify
This game of chess is ending
Victory is before our eyes.
but one wrong move
can lose the entire game, there are many examples of this
Slower
Be careful not to choke, theres no water here.
Emperor didn't give me permission to eat
You already ate it
1 piece and 2 piece has no difference
And also, such big rain
who can come this far
to punish you.
And I placed it in my shirt
no one will know
What are you doing?
Nature's water is the cleanest.
to elegant scholars
is saved specially to make tea.
I really must note from now on
there's no way you are ladylike
Ruo'xi, is it worth doing this?
Answer me
Ruo'xi, answer me
I'm begging you
I only did
what I felt like I should do
And what must be done.
There is no worth it or not worth it
If you really want the reason
I can only say
If 13th Prince were to
encounter the same situation,
he would definitely
do the same for me
Even though he knows the consequence would be unpredictable
If it is me instead
you would do the same, right?
I know, you are thinking
If I were 13th brother,
I would definitely not be asking this
He understands you
But this is because I don't understand you
that I have to make this clear
Ruo'xi, tell me the truth
based on the fact that we've known each other since young.
I didn't think that way
Whether it was 10th prince or you
I will do it
Although my personality is closest to 13th prince,
the feelings for everyone are the same.
And that day in the grasslands?
Even if it's not because of 8th brother
You would still help me, right?
You're all wet. Go back.
When the Emperor's temper subsides,
it'll all be fine.
I'm already wet
Can I get any more wet?
And also,
the Emperor didn't allow me to hold an umbrella
Wang'ye
Wang'ye, I know your heart hurts
But you can't ruin your health.
Go back inside Wang'ye
Wang'ye, please go back inside
Wang'ye, I'm begging you
Please go back inside, Wang'ye
Go back inside, I beg you Wang'ye
Go back inside, I'm begging you
Wang'ye, Wang'ye
Take Fu'jin back inside
Without my permission
No one can come out
Master Wang'ye
Wang'ye, come back inside Wang'ye
Wang'ye Mistress
Come in, Mistress
Ruo'xi, no matter how big this rain is
I will be with you
