[Scarlet Heart] [Episode 32]
- The imperial doctor said she'd wake up. - He's so amazing.
The emperor has arrived!
Greetings to you, Your Majesty.
I'm sorry.
I know you were really looking forward to having this child.
It's okay.
Thank goodness you're okay.
Children are fairies that have been brought to this world.
Since God doesn't want our child
to come and put up with all the suffering in this world
he decided to bring her back to heaven.
She's gone to a much better and more beautiful place.
A place where fairies fly around
and flowers bloom.
I'm sure she's very happy now.
I'm sure she is.
Don't blame anyone for this, okay?
If anyone is to blame for this
then it should be my fault.
Your health is what matters most now.
If you keep worrying about those irrelevant people and things
then I'm really going to get mad.
Once you get better
I'll take you out for a walk, okay?
Look what a beautiful day it is.
It certainly is.
Are you tired?
The flowers are already blooming.
Come here.
All I can smell is the medicine from my body.
All I can smell is your fragrance.
You're the emperor.
You shouldn't do this in public.
What's wrong with the emperor kissing his concubine?
I'm about to give you an official title.
Once you get better
we'll go ahead with the conferment ceremony.
But I thought you didn't want me to become your official consort before.
Then you said it's because of our child.
But now...
There's really no need for that now.
I've never been so scared before.
I'm scared that I'd lose you.
Whether you want to or not
I won't delay your conferment.
I'm also scared that I'd lose you.
What makes you think you'll lose me?
Actually...
I'm not from here.
I'm Zhang Xiao.
I don't belong in this world.
Are you being silly again?
I'm scared that one day
I'll have no choice but to leave this place.
Just like the way I ended up here.
You mean you want to leave?
No, I don't.
If you really end up leaving...
then no matter where you go
I'll still come and find you.
My lord, please do as His Majesty says and divorce me.
I don't want everyone to die because of me.
My lord.
If I have to die with you
I wouldn't even hesitate to do so at all.
But we won't be the only ones who'll be killed.
There's also Hong Wang
as well as more than 100 people in our manor.
My lord.
Think about those who've been working for you since they were young.
Think about my family.
It's a serious offense to disobey the emperor's order.
Once the emperor finds an excuse
then all of us will get into deep trouble.
[Divorce Agreement]
My lord.
For the sake of Hong Wang
everyone in our manor
as well as my family...
I beg you.
Thank you, my lord.
Ming Hui.
All I saw
was your background and status back then.
But I totally neglected your love for me.
I've even gotten you into so much trouble now.
The reason I'm letting you go
is because at least you'll be safe
instead of having to live in fear every day
wondering when he'll kill us.
My lord.
I understand.
Don't worry.
You'll always be in my heart.
Princess Consort.
Please look after Eighth Prince for me.
Don't worry, Princess Consort.
No matter what happens
I'll definitely look after Eighth Prince.
Miss Ruo Xi.
- Who's inside? - It's Thirteenth Prince.
Should I notify the emperor?
Has Eighth Brother done as I said?
Royal Brother, even though Eighth Princess Consort was wrong
she was conferred by Royal Father.
Perhaps you should punish them in another way instead.
I better not interrupt their meeting.
Yes.
You can go back first. I want to speak to Thirteenth Prince.
Yes.
Thirteenth Prince.
I thought you're supposed to be resting.
What did the emperor order Eighth Prince to do?
He ordered him to divorce his wife.
- Did Eighth Prince do it? - It only happened the other day.
He still hadn't done it when I came to the palace just now.
He can't divorce her.
They'll be devastated.
You go and stop Eighth Prince and I'll try to convince the emperor.
Do you really think Eighth Brother would listen to me?
Then I'll go with you.
I'll take another gamble with you.
Who cares if I get punished by Royal Brother?
Thirteenth Prince.
- Master said he's not seeing anyone-- - Get out of my way!
Thirteenth Prince.
We can't disobey our master's order.
Miss Ruo Xi, Thirteenth Prince.
Step aside.
Master's not feeling well, so he doesn't want to see anyone.
Has he executed the order?
Yes, he has.
Oh no.
Master.
Thirteenth Prince and Miss Ruo Xi would like to see you.
Go away! I don't want to see anyone!
Get out!
What else do you want from me?
Are you going to take my life today as well?
As long as it's what the emperor wants
I'd be glad to let you do it.
You can't divorce Eighth Princess Consort.
You should tell him that.
- Has she left already? - What is it that you want?
When Thirteenth Brother came to me last time, I already promised
that I won't let Ninth Brother and Ming Hui do anything to him.
So why is he still doing this to me?
Let's not discuss this right now.
You should go and look for her before anything happens.
Before anything happens?
What else can happen?
Is he going to accuse us of another crime?
What do you want to do to Ming Hui and Hong Wang?
I don't want to see you.
Don't make me kick you out.
Wake up.
Since you've been married for so many years
you should know how much she loves you.
I know.
Of course I do.
When everyone abandoned me
she was the only person
who stood by me and comforted me.
She fully supported me when I fought for the throne.
But when I finally gave up
she didn't complain at all.
That's right!
I'm such an idiot!
Why did I still look elsewhere when I already had such a precious pearl?
I swore to myself
that I'd do my best to look after her.
But how can God be so cruel?
The more I back off
the harsher the emperor gets.
I thought if only I'd been very careful
then I'd be able to survive in my little corner.
But now I finally understand
that it's not possible at all.
My ending has already long been decided.
But she's different.
The only thing I could do for her was to let her go.
If you already understand everything
why can't you understand how she feels?
You might think it's best to let her go
so that she doesn't have to face the unimaginable consequences with you.
But did you know that she's not scared of dying at all?
The only thing she's scared of is losing you.
You're her everything, but you've also made her lose everything.
- What happened? - Miss has set herself on fire.
- Ming Hui! - Eighth Brother.
- No, Ming Hui! - Eighth Prince!
- Calm down! - No!
Eighth Brother.
Let go of me!
All she did was go and talk to you about her grudge.
She didn't even hurt you.
She doesn't deserve this.
Are you happy now?
Didn't hurt her?
Did you know
that because of what Eighth Princess Consort said
Ruo Xi had a miscarriage?
She'll never be able to become pregnant again!
At least you still have Hong Wang.
You should know better than anyone else
as to whom Eighth Sister-in-law has sacrificed her life for.
You should also know better than anyone else
as to what you should do from now on.
You mean...
I should just live the life of a coward?
That'll be like living hell.
You've been running around all day.
Try to get some rest.
It's almost dawn.
You should get ready for your morning meeting.
Keep an eye on her.
She only cares about others.
But I only care about her.
Ruo Xi.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
You have nothing to do with Eighth Sister-in-law's death.
I always thought
that it's much easier to die than to survive.
However
it's actually just as difficult to die as it is to survive.
It's not your fault at all.
It's not Eighth Brother or Eighth Sister-in-law's fault either.
It's a very complicated issue.
You shouldn't blame Royal Brother either.
Is it true...
that I'll never be able to become pregnant again?
That's good too.
Then my child won't have to suffer in Forbidden City.
Young Miss, it's my fault.
I've killed Eighth Princess Consort.
I shouldn't have let you see her.
It's not your fault.
Get up.
No, Young Miss, it's my fault.
You already told me
that I should be very careful inside the palace.
I was too careless.
I thought it wasn't such a big deal
but I ended up killing Eighth Princess Consort.
I've also hurt you, Young Miss.
Qiao Hui.
How would you have known the consequence?
None of us do.
It's already the second year since the emperor was enthroned.
I thought there would be at least a few more years of peace.
However
it's already started.
It's all my fault.
Young Miss, what are you talking about?
This...
is just the beginning.
What did my sister do wrong?
Why did you divorce her?
Why did you make her kill herself?
She was totally dedicated to you.
She sacrificed so much for you.
Yet you never did anything for her.
After everything that she'd done for you
this is what she gets.
Did you ever treasure her at all?
Did you?
You're right.
I've let Ming Hui down.
I'm really sorry.
I know.
I know my sister would never hate you
even when she decided to take her own life.
But I do.
I hate you to death.
My sister wouldn't have died if it wasn't for you.
You murderer!
Give me back my sister.
I want my sister back.
Give her back to me.
I know I was wrong.
I shouldn't be so selfish and narrow-minded.
But I'm totally dedicated to you, my lord.
I can't live without you, my lord.
Ever since you got mad at me
I kept thinking about my mistakes.
During this time when you've been totally ignoring me...
it's been living hell for me.
Ming Hui.
Although I already had such a precious pearl...
I never treasured you at all.
My lord, as long as you can stop being so worried
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
Seeing how upset and worried you are
really breaks my heart.
Perhaps it's because we're husband and wife.
So we should share all joy and hardship.
I know there are a lot of things that you find it hard to say to me.
But I know exactly how you feel already.
I've never regretted having married you at all.
It takes 100 years of fate to become friends
and 1,000 years of fate to become husband and wife.
Ever since we got married
you always listened to me
let me have my way
and supported me.
You never complained at all.
Ming Hui.
You're a gift from heaven.
What's this?
How could he?
How could the emperor do that?
It's already been two months since it happened.
The reason Royal Father issued this order is because he wants to tell everyone
that he'd never forgive me.
He wants to give a clear warning
to those who are overly ambitious
as well as those who used to work for me.
We don't need any sympathy.
We still have a lot of money to live on.
Even if we run out, we still have my father.
Even if my father doesn't want to help us
you still have me, my lord.
Ming Hui.
I won't be able to pay you back in this life anymore.
But in our next lives
I'll repay you 100 times more.
Ming Hui, I promise you.
I won't let you leave this world alone.
You said I shouldn't let the emperor take my surrender for granted.
From this moment on, I'll never back off again.
Even...
if it means I have to sacrifice my life
I'd still be happy about it
because then I'll be able to see you.
I won't let you down again.
- Tenth Princess Consort. - Get out of my way!
- You can't go in. - Let go of her.
Don't be so rude. You may go outside.
Yes.
- Ruo Xi. - Tenth Princess Consort.
Please don't blame Young Miss.
Step aside.
Go and wait outside.
What are you doing?
I, Guoluoluo Ming Yu
have never begged anyone in my life.
But today
I've come to beg you.
Get up first.
Ruo Xi.
I've already lost my sister.
I really can't bear to watch Tenth Prince suffer like this anymore.
Rather than insulting and torturing him like this
the emperor might as well take his life quickly.
What's actually going on?
The commander in Zhang Jia Kou
keeps on insulting and picking on Tenth Prince.
But the emperor's behind all this.
Knowing how stubborn Tenth Prince is
he insists on staying in Zhang Jia Kou instead of returning to Beijing.
So the emperor accused him of disobeying his order
and abolished his title.
He then ordered him arrested and locked up for life.
Now that he's the emperor, I know he can do anything he wants.
But why must the emperor pick on us and torture us like this?
First it was Eighth Prince
then it was my sister.
Now it's me and Tenth Prince.
I don't understand.
Why can't the emperor show a little kindness toward his brothers?
Why must he make our lives a living hell?
Tenth Prince.
So it's Tenth Prince's turn now.
Actually
I already had it all planned out.
If Tenth Prince got locked up
then I'd go with him.
If the emperor chopped his head off
then I'd also get executed along with him.
But
he's now under arrest
and will be locked up for life.
How's Tenth Prince supposed to put up with such an insult?
Ruo Xi.
I finally understand the pain that my sister had to go through.
I'd rather die than to see those around me get tortured like this.
If I can't seek a way to survive, then I might as well just die.
I beg you.
Please talk to the emperor.
I beg you.
If he can't show any kindness or forgiveness to his brother
then please just let us die
and put an end to our suffering.
I beg you.
Tenth Princess Consort.
Tenth Prince is so lucky to have a wife like you.
To have married Tenth Prince...
was the best thing in my life.
Don't worry.
You're not the ones who started this.
So you shouldn't be the ones who get punished for it.
I'll never let Tenth Prince suffer ever again.
Ruo Xi.
It's working.
Looks like the local officials are finally understanding my intentions.
All complaint reports must be handled fairly.
These officials are now submitting reports
whenever they discover a bribery case.
I'm really glad about that.
Thirteenth Brother.
- Is something wrong? - Royal Brother.
I want to talk to you about something.
If it's about Tenth Brother, then forget it.
Royal Brother.
I'm the emperor.
How am I supposed to rule the country if I give him special treatment?
Even though he's disobeyed your order
it doesn't mean he wants to overturn the throne.
- Perhaps you can adjust his punishment. - I've already made up my mind.
Royal Brother, are you really just being strict and fair
or are you trying to make Tenth Brother's life a living hell?
That's enough.
I'm punishing him because he deserves it.
He and his gang are always trying to come up with evil plots.
You've also seen it yourself.
I'll never show any kindness toward them.
But have you ever thought about Ruo Xi?
She's always been very close to Tenth Brother.
If you punish him, then you'll also hurt her.
She's already been through a lot.
I'm only doing this for her.
I must punish them harshly
in order for Ruo Xi to get some peace.
I'm also doing this for our child.
No.
Ruo Xi will never let you do this.
She's Tough Princess
so she won't stay out of this.
In order to protect her loved ones, she'll be willing to sacrifice herself.
Do you have to wait until she gets hurt before you give up?
They're the ones who won't give up.
The battle between us
is a conflict in the palace
as well as a battle between brothers.
I've been doing my best to keep Ruo Xi out of this.
But they keep dragging her into our conflict.
It's them.
It's all their fault.
Miss.
- Gao Wu Yong, go outside. - Yes.
All consorts must stay out of palace affairs.
Ruo Xi.
You can go back first.
Ruo Xi, you better go back.
I'll take care of everything.
Thirteenth Prince.
Remember the first time we drank together?
Of course I do.
We became friends through wine.
So it's only right for us to say farewell to our friendship with wine.
Ruo Xi, what are you doing?
Don't do anything rash.
The reason I've come here today
is because I want to be honest with you.
You thought it was Eighth Princess Consort who had made me lose our child.
But it wasn't her.
It was me.
Stop this.
Go back.
Where should I start?
- It's been so long. - Ruo Xi.
Back then, Eighth Prince and I...
He was still my brother-in-law then.
After talking to him a few times...
I told him...
to be careful of Fourth Prince...
Long Ke Duo
as well as Nian Geng Yao.
Ruo Xi, I know you're trying to put in a good word for Tenth Brother.
But you shouldn't put all the blame on yourself.
It won't help at all.
How could you have said something like that back then?
The reason I said that
was because I already knew.
I already knew everything.
Since I already knew
I gave him a hint.
This is absolutely true.
Even Ninth Prince and Fourteenth Prince knew about it.
If you don't believe me
why don't you ask someone about it?
Ruo Xi.
I'm sorry.
The person who had gotten you locked up for 10 years
was the best friend whom you've always been so honest with.
If I hadn't warned Eighth Prince
he wouldn't have tried to frame Fourth Prince
and you wouldn't have gotten dragged into it.
I was the person who caused you so much pain and suffering.
So it serves me right for my health to have deteriorated so much.
As for our child
I was the one who's responsible for the miscarriage.
It might appear
that it was Eighth Prince and his men who had tried to oppose you.
But the real culprit
who caused everything was actually me.
Your most beloved woman.
So you've been hating the wrong people for all these years.
