[Lost Love In Times]
[Episode 36]
Ling!
Where... Where have you been?
What is it?
It's nothing urgent...
It's just...
I...
If you're not going to tell me, I have other matters to handle.
Ling!
I just wish to ask you about your princess consort selection.
Have you already made a decision?
Don't you worry.
Whatever happens, I won't choose Cai Qian.
I knew it.
But I hope that Cai Qian has really given up on you this time.
Everything's great about you.
It's just that I can't figure out what you think of your own relationship.
You should have told her about your feelings sooner.
- I-- - And...
Father told me to choose a side consort.
If it were someone else who wishes to have Yin family's support
tell me, do you think that Cai Qian won't be considered?
I... I have a strategy.
But Cai Qian has always wanted to become your princess consort.
Now that she's turned down by you in person
once she's given up on you
it's the best timing for me to take advantage of it.
You're just using me as your stepping stone?
I--
Ling...
Just leave me be.
Go and take care of your Miss Qing Chen.
If you don't wish to tell me, I--
Send our men to keep an eye on Feng Manor.
I have a bad feeling.
Qing Chen might be in trouble.
Ling, you get too worried because you care.
Since Miss Qing Chen joined Feng family
Minister Feng went personally to the palace
and had her appointed as Princess Qingping.
She's also treated very well at home
It isn't so.
I went to visit Qing Chen at Feng Manor today.
I discovered that the housekeeper, Feng Qiu is secretly monitoring her.
I'm afraid that she might be harmed.
Send someone over to keep an eye on him.
Feng Qiu is Minister Feng's confidant.
Only Minister Feng could get him to do his bidding.
But...
Why would he have his own daughter monitored?
This is what worries me.
All right, I'll send our men over there to keep an eye on them.
Your Highness, you asked to see me?
Liang State is now aware of the pending marital bond between us and Wei State.
Who do you think let slipped of this information?
Everyone is Wei State knew that Prince Ling is selecting his consort.
It's not surprising that spies from Liang State could find out about us.
It's not hard to understand how the spies found about about the selection.
However, they are even well informed of how the selection is progressing.
At just the right moment...
Just when the selection comes to a conclusion
Liang State presses on Great Wei's border to put pressure on them.
Perhaps this spy... is right by our side?
Right by our side?
It's highly possible.
Perhaps, Wei State is the one that leaked the information.
Or perhaps, the royal family of A-Chai Tribe let slipped of the news.
Soon after our king was assassinated
it seems that Liang State's spy has infiltrated into our inner circle.
During this period of time, be sure to act cautiously.
I'll also send a letter to my brother and father.
I'll ask them thoroughly.
Who exactly was it that leaked this information?
Your Highness.
You must be sure to seek out who this person is!
It's easy to get Ling to turn Cai Qian down.
But it's difficult to get Cai Qian to figure it out herself.
I've been so busy dealing with Hao's case that I didn't get to see Cai Qian.
I wonder if she's lost any weight.
It hurts!
Silly Che, you couldn't even defeat me in the past.
What is it now?
I haven't seen you for a few days and you improved so much?
I was just being nice.
Do you really think that I'm not better in martial arts than you?
Was Zhan right about this?
Che is in love with someone else now?
Would I annoy Cai Qian if I treat her like this?
Did I really hurt her feelings just now?
What if Zhan's method doesn't work?
Cai Qian has always looked up to Ling.
I'm well aware of it.
Although Zhan said that I have to do so to make Cai Qian figure out her feelings
I'm afraid that she'll be upset because I treated her so.
Whatever the reason, I'm at fault for purposely making her upset.
I should head back to check on her.
Silly Che, if you have fallen for someone else
why would you be so nice to me?
You were always so concerned about me.
But now you're so distant and pulled a long face at me.
What do you mean by this?
If I had known, I won't beg Zhan to tell me where to find you.
I won't be worried about you getting hurt leading the army to war.
I've always thought that you only cared about Ling.
You'd actually worry about me as well?
It seems that Zhan is right after all.
You and Zhan planned this deliberately?
It's my fault.
I purposely ignored you.
From now on, I'd never make you so upset again.
So you were lying to me?
Cai Qian!
It doesn't matter who you have on your mind...
You're the only one on Silly Che's mind.
Your Highness, General Wei is here.
Greetings, Prince Ling.
Why have you come to see me instead of training in the army?
Your Highness, someone has recently inquired after
the purchase of enslaved sorceresses in Pingxing County.
He asked about who the sorceresses were and where they went.
I'm concerned that someone is using this to stir up trouble.
Hence, I've come to inform Your Highness so you could be prepared for it.
Could you find out who this person is?
It's unknown at the moment.
I'll investigate further into it.
Head back to the camp first.
Yes!
What is that person trying to find out?
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please punish me!
What has happened again?
Your Majesty, it was a moment's folly on my part.
I've failed to report to Your Majesty in time.
Now that I've committed lese-majeste
I came here to seek punishment from Your Majesty today.
The crown prince was just abolished.
You simply wouldn't let me have a moment of peace.
Tell me.
What have you kept from me this time?
Your Majesty, this matter is related to Crown Prince's and Prince Ming's case.
It was my momentary oversight.
I accidentally brought in a sorceress to the palace.
You brought a sorceress into the palace?
Who are you referring to?
Your Majesty, it isn't just anyone.
It's my daughter, Feng Qing Chen.
Feng Qing Chen?
Minister Feng...
She is the daughter that you personally identified.
How is she now a sorceress?
Your Majesty, I was too eager to find my daughter back then.
When I saw Feng family's unique tattoo on her wrist
I identified her as my missing second daughter
without looking closely at the tattoo.
But then when The Mages had their case redressed in the palace
I noticed that she had spoken up for them in every way.
I found it suspicious but I had no evidence to prove it.
It wasn't until Prince Hao and Luan Fei got into trouble that I realized
this woman had entered my manor posing as my daughter.
She has ulterior motives, Your Majesty!
Why didn't you inform me of this matter sooner?
Your Majesty, I also regret it deeply!
Not only did she implicate the two princes
but my only daughter, Luan Fei also died because of her.
All of you claim to be my loyal subject!
They all claim to be filial sons!
All you do is stir up trouble!
Why bother keeping any of you around?
Your Majesty, please appease your anger.
Your health should come first.
Don't put on this act before my eyes!
Tell me!
You say that she's a sorceress.
Do you have solid evidence to prove it?
I already have enough evidence.
It's just...
This would further implicate Prince Ling and Prince Zhan.
I'll decide how to handle this matter.
Minister Feng...
You should do what you should be doing.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Eunuch Sun.
What has happened?
Your Ladyship.
By His Majesty's oral decree
Your Ladyship is summoned to an audience with His Majesty.
Please come with me, Your Ladyship.
Please lead the way, Master Eunuch.
Do you know why I have summoned you here today?
I do not know. Your Majesty, please do tell.
Your Majesty.
How could she admit to lese-majeste?
Your Majesty, please summon the witnesses and evidence
so as not to be confused by this witch again.
Father, why would you say so?
Don't address me as your father!
You're not related to Feng family at all!
You are well aware of it!
Today, right before His Majesty
you still dare to put on this pretense?
I don't understand what Father is saying.
It was Father who identified me and brought me back to Feng Manor.
Yet now, before His Majesty, you claim that I'm not a daughter of Feng family.
You even accuse me of lese-majeste.
I do not know what to say to it.
You certainly won't know what to say to it.
You think that by imitating a tattoo
you can keep deceiving us after you entered Feng Manor?
You weren't aware that all daughters of Feng family had different tattoos.
However, you had a tattoo identical to Luan Fei's!
Apart from forging that tattoo with sorcery
there can't be other possible explanations!
Father, you've never mentioned this to me.
Of course not.
Luan Fei was the first one to have found it suspicious.
She told me about it.
If not, I'd still be kept in the dark till this day!
Unfortunately, Luan Fei had lost her life because of this matter.
She wasn't in time to expose you.
Not only did you get Luan Fei killed
you even harmed Prince Hao and Prince Ming!
You're such a frail young lady.
Who knew that you have a heart of a viper?
You're so ruthless!
I wouldn't dare admit to what Father just said!
Such a grave sin would have Feng family implicated as well.
Shut up!
Stop making excuses!
Feng family isn't related to you at all!
Your Ladyship, forgive me for being rude.
Please allow me to take a look at the tattoo on your wrist.
Your Majesty, I must be too foolish.
The tattoo doesn't seem to be any different.
Minister Feng, what is going on?
Your Majesty, one can't tell the difference at a glance.
The difference lies in the pattern of the butterfly's wings.
On my eldest daughter, Xian Wu's tattoo, her butterfly had 30 symmetrical lines.
My second daughter had 28 lines.
My third daughter, Luan Fei had 24 lines.
However, this witch's tattoo is identical to Luan Fei's with 24 lines!
Your Majesty, Minister Feng is right.
Princess Qingping's butterfly tattoo has 24 lines on the wings.
What else do you have to say to it?
I have nothing to say.
If you have nothing to say to it, you admit that you're a sorceress?
You plotted to set up Luan Fei and the others.
Although I have nothing to say to it, I can't admit to such a crime either.
Ling! Bad news!
What's wrong?
The dark guard we've stationed at Feng Manor just reported back
that Eunuch Sun went with the Imperial Army to announce a decree
to summon Miss Qing Chen for an audience with Father.
Sun Shi is father's confidant.
What could have happened that he had to make the trip himself?
Your Highness, Princess Qingping was brought to the palace by Eunuch Sun.
Who knew that they would act a lot faster than I expected?
It seems that Zhan should be informed of it by now.
My servants had found this note in this witch's room.
She had wanted to get rid of Crown Prince
so she hoaxed him into eloping with Luan Fei.
Present it to me.
Your Majesty, be a fair judge of it.
I bear no grudge against Crown Prince.
Why would I wish to harm him?
That note is solid evidence!
You interacted often with the other princes.
Who doesn't know of it?
You had wanted Crown Prince abolished
so that the position of heir apparent becomes vacant.
Then someone will be pleased to take advantage of it.
Handwriting can be forged.
Not to mention that it's even incomplete.
I've always admired Prince Hao for his talent.
If I knew that someone is out to harm him
I'd surely do my best to help him.
How could I have made my sister set him up?
This is all just words.
Your Highness, why don't you summon Prince Hao?
You'd know once you've asked him.
[Yuan Ming (crossed out); Yuan Hao]
Your Highness.
His Majesty has summoned you over.
Master Eunuch, do you know what is it about?
Master Feng accused Miss Qing Chen of conspiracy
and imposing as the second young mistress of Feng family.
He even said that she plotted for
Your Highness to elope with Miss Luan Fei.
What is the current situation?
His Majesty is interrogating her.
He's summoned Your Highness over as the witness.
All right.
I'll come with you to the palace to seek audience with Father.
Greetings, Father.
Look at this person. You do know her, don't you?
Do you know who she is?
Get up first.
Feng Yan told me today that
the Princess Qingping that I appointed isn't the daughter of Feng family
but one of The Mages.
Do you both know of this matter beforehand?
Father, Minister Feng was the one
who identified Princess Qingping as his daughter.
Her identity was also acknowledged by Father.
Why is she suddenly related to The Mages now?
I, too, think that if Princess Qingping is one of The Mages
wouldn't that make Minister Feng one of them as well?
This doesn't seem to make sense.
It seems that neither of you believe in this matter.
Instead, you choose to believe in her?
There should be evidence provided.
Why would you be so certain of it?
Your Highnesses.
There's already concrete evidence to prove it.
However, she is still making excuses for it.
It doesn't matter.
I still have other ways to prove her identity.
Greetings, Father.
Sun Shi should have informed you of this matter by now.
I'd like to know what you think about it.
Get up to talk.
Father, I have been informed.
Princess Qingping is fairly studious.
She did interact with me often in private.
Her Ladyship is of a graceful and upright temperament.
If she is said to have set me up, I would never believe that to be true.
In regards to Luan Fei, it was my act of folly.
I should be held responsible for my own actions.
I hope that Father could be a fair judge of this.
Please do not blame the innocent.
Father, do you remember the case of Celestial Dance House?
Princess Qingping contributed to the state
and relieved you of your troubles.
How could someone like that deceive the emperor?
Your Majesty.
I think that despite what this woman had done in the past
everything she once did was done for an ulterior motive
as long as she is a sorceress.
It is all done in deception of Your Majesty!
If you don't have any evidence to prove her as a sorceress
you'd have committed lese-majeste!
Prince Ling, I'd advise you not to be so protective of this witch.
If I'm not confident, I wouldn't be here making such a claim
or taking such an action.
As long as she's a sorceress, she will be exposed in a magic circle!
If Minister Feng intends to set up a magic circle in the palace
shouldn't Father summon Astronomy Bureau's Mister Mo
to verify the magic circle?
You have a valid point.
Invite Mister Mo over to verify this matter together.
Your Majesty, I have one more request.
Before Your Majesty verifies this witch's identity
please arrest all personnel in Muyuan Hospital.
Their identities should all be verified as well.
Your Majesty, if you make such a huge move
it would only stir up panic and commotion.
Please reconsider, Father.
- Please reconsider, Father. - This shouldn't get out of hand.
All right, that's enough said.
Bring everyone from Muyuan Hospital here.
Their identities are all to be verified.
Sir, may I ask what this is about?
By His Majesty's oral decree
all disciples of Muyuan Hospital are all summoned to the palace for questioning.
Please come with me.
Elder, bad news.
Why are you in such a panic?
Minister Feng sought audience with His Majesty
and exposed Qing Chen as a sorceress.
Why would Minister Feng suddenly stoop to such means?
Does His Majesty believe in it?
His Majesty is still doubtful.
But he has Qing Chen summoned into the palace.
Once Qing Chen's identity is exposed...
She's sure to be convicted of lese-majeste.
We must come up with a plan quickly.
Master Mo.
Eunuch Sun.
His Majesty has summoned Master Mo to the palace.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Mo Bu Ping greets Your Majesty.
I've heard that Mister Mo is well learned in
the magic circles of the five elements.
Today, someone told me that Princess Qingping is one of The Mages.
I want you to set up a magic circle to verify this for me.
Your Majesty.
The Magic Circle of Sundial gathers all energy of Yang element.
It's extremely ferocious.
If we were to activate it recklessly, I'm afraid it will bring forth calamity.
If it were to identify a sorceress, you need only summon
Elder Tao Yao into the palace and she could confirm it.
Why would Your Majesty go to such trouble for it?
I beseech Your Majesty to reconsider it.
This is lese-majeste that we're talking about.
If she is one of The Mages, the entire tribe is also guilty of it.
How could Tao Yao be honest with me?
It's just a simple task for Mister Mo to set up the magic circle.
Why would you make excuses not to do so?
Could it be that you have some other concerns?
Mister Mo.
Since His Majesty has decreed, please set up the magic circle.
I do not fear such things.
You're fearless because you're confident of your spiritual powers?
Do you know that the spiritual powers of The Mages stem from nature
and yet it counteracts with each other?
If this magic circle is formed
it can draw all Yang energy of the nature to form Blood Flames.
An ordinary person would have come out of it unscathed.
However, those who practice sorcery will surely perish in the magic circle!
Mister Mo...
What are you still waiting for?
Begin now.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
The disciples of Muyuan Hospital have arrived.
Your Majesty, since the magic circle will be set up
we could have Muyuan Hospital's disciple enter it first
if the witch refused to try it out.
Then we'd know why she fears this magic circle.
Father, how could we use innocent commoners of Great Wei
to try out the magic circle?
Father, if this is done
I'm afraid it will mar your reputation if it's made known to all.
Summon them into the magic circle.
If they can make it out alive
I'll reward them and set them free.
If they perish within the magic circle
it means that they deserved to die.
Your Majesty, there's no need to have the others verified.
Since this magic circle is specially set up for me
I'll accept the decree and enter it.
I thank both princes for your trust in me.
Since His Majesty has made up his mind
there's no need to say another word.
If you really are a sorceress
everything you did was done for an ulterior motive.
The Mages would have all committed lese-majeste.
Your Majesty, I'm not related to The Mages in any way.
I hope that Your Majesty could judge wisely.
If you can't make it out of the Magic Circle of Sundial
then it's not up to you to say if you're related to them or not.
Your Ladyship!
Please go ahead.
Halt!
Father, you once promised me that I can decide which consort to choose.
I have now made my choice.
Qing Chen will be my princess consort.
Who said that you can make such a decision at will now?
An emperor's promise.
It's as good as gold.
She is now my princess consort.
I have to go through thick and thin with her.
If Father truly wishes to verify her identity
allow me to enter the magic circle as well.
Are you serious about this?
- Your Majesty-- - Minister Feng!
This is the imperial family's personal issue.
It's best that you don't say another word.
My silly son.
You'd really sacrifice your life for a sorceress?
Qin Zhan! Convey my decree.
No one is allowed to go near this magic circle.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Highness, you--
Qing Chen, you must pull through this.
Let's hope that the sacred pebbles can hold it off for some time.
There's Flame Poison in the magic circle.
Why would you choose to come in here?
My identity can no longer be concealed.
If you do so, you can never dissociate yourself from me.
I never once thought of doing so.
There's only one candidate for my princess consort.
It's you.
When I set up the magic circle, I had left an opening.
Once it gets past noon and the Yang energy weakens
the power of the magic circle will also weaken.
I wonder if Qing Chen can withstand it till then.
Mo Bu Ping has left an opening in the magic circle.
If so, I'll lend you a hand.
Where does this surge of spiritual power come from?
What's going on?
Your Majesty, it must be that
the witch is using her powers in the magic circle.
If this continues, I'm afraid that Qing Chen can't hold on much longer.
Why has the Flame Poison in the magic circle weakened?
Yuan Ling?
Yuan Ling!
Yuan Ling?
We might not be born on the same day...
But may we die together.
I shall follow you in life and death.
Never shall we part.
Now...
Only by initiating the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations
could this all be changed.
If I'm given another chance...
I'd never let you fall in love with me.
Yuan Ling?
Not only is Feng Qing Chen the Grand Sorceress
but she also initiated the Magic Circle of Nine Transformations
to travel through a resurrected timeline.
If so, I could use her powers to travel back into the past
and rescue the former emperor.
What is happening?
Father, there's a strange reaction in the magic circle.
Ling is also in it. If this continues, Ling's life could be in danger!
Father, please put a stop to this magic circle now!
Mo Bu Ping!
Your Majesty, if Princess Qingping is a sorceress, she'd have perished by now.
This magic circle can be deactivated.
Ling.
Now that I have proven my innocence
and Minister Feng has denied me of my identity as a daughter of Feng family
he's used this matter to drive a wedge
between The Mages and the imperial family.
I wonder what his motives are.
I've always had this tattoo on my wrist since I was a child.
It concerns my identity. How can it be treated slightly?
Besides, I had never met Luan Fei in the past.
How could I forge an identical tattoo like hers?
Your Majesty, this is impossible!
This is highly suspicious!
If it weren't that you have contributed to the imperial court
I'd have killed you now for trying to get me killed!
How ridiculous.
I thought that I had found my kin.
Who knew that I would be nearly framed into my death by my father?
Your Majesty.
I have nothing more to say now that Minister Feng disowned me.
But I'd never admit to a grave sin as lese-majeste.
I hope that Your Majesty could be a fair judge of it!
- Your Majesty-- - That's enough!
Minister Feng misses his daughter too deeply.
He's unsuitable to discuss state affairs in the near future.
Moreover!
You have endangered the life of a prince.
A year of your wages is to be confiscated.
- Your-- - Step down!
You have proven your innocence.
Therefore, lese-majeste is no longer an issue here.
Since Minister Feng refuses to acknowledge you as his daughter
you don't have to be Princess Qingping.
Since you once contributed to the imperial court
I'll appoint you as...
The imperial female officer.
You're to serve by my side.
You can enter the palace today.
Qing Chen accepts the decree.
Thank you for your benevolence, Your Majesty.
Ling!
As you and Qing Chen once saved Hao's life together
I'll entrust you to command the Imperial Army from today.
Yes, Father.
It seems that this is all just a misunderstanding.
- Sun Shi. - Present.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
It's just that His Majesty had wanted--
He...
For just a split second, Father had wanted to kill Ling.
