Episode 11
I'm not leaving! Pavilion Master!
Pavilion Master, help me! Pavilion Master!
Since you won't leave...
Pavilion Master!
Pavilion Master...
I beg you give me one more chance.
I surely will kill Liu Ziye to seek revenge for Fendai.
What if you are still unable to do it?
I'll go accompany Fendai then.
Okay. For the sake of Fendai,
I'll give you one more chance.
Do you know how to fulfill the mission?
I will kill Liu Ziye as soon as possible.
No.
- You can't do it alone. - But...
Don't forget how Fendai died.
Liu Ziye has Lin Mu, Zong Yue, and Sheng Qingzhi surrounding him.
As long as the 3 of them are around, you won't be able to fulfill your mission.
What should I do then?
You don't have the chance now, but I will create one for you.
When?
I will tell it to you at the right time.
Go back now. But I want to remind you
that even if you are grieving a lot about Fendai's dead, you must not show it.
If Liu Ziye notices it,
you will lose your last chance to seek revenge.
Yes. I will take my leave.
Pavilion Master, you're still giving Zhu Que a chance? She already knows about her real identity.
What if she betrays you again?
Zhu Que and Fendai are like real sisters.
Fendai died tragically for her. Zhu Que will stop at nothing to seek revenge.
If she still helps Liu Ziye this time,
she is not that Zhu Que that puts a lot of importance to affection and loyalty to friends.
This time, Liu Ziye was the one who personally pushed Zhu Que to us.
It's him who is bringing death upon himself.
Come. Come. Let me kiss you.
General, don't be mad. I just came to talk with you about a business deal.
I have nothing to talk with you about.
What do you want me to do?
General is has both intelligence and fighting skills, splendid battle achievements.
Great General Shen always beats and scolds you on the least pretext.
Don't you want to replace him?
Great General Shen, His Majesty isn't feeling well today.
He refuses to see you.
I've submitted numerous memorials, but His Majesty just disregards them.
What does he want to do?
Great General Shen, Prince Xiangdong and Prince Jian'an are royal uncles after all.
Should they be killed and how should they be killed,
only His Majesty has the last say on this.
As his subject, just strictly abide to your proper duty.
You must not go beyond your position, right?
I'll take my leave.
You...
Uncle, Prince Xiangdong is His Majesty's biological uncle after all.
Why must you have him killed?
If I don't kill him now, he surely will kill His Majesty in the future.
If anything happens to His Majesty, a great disaster will surely follow.
This will give Wei a chance to attack us.
Even if I don't think for His Majesty's sake, I must think for the people's sake.
Liu Yu must die.
Uncle! Uncle!
Great General.
Move aside.
Drag the two of them out here.
Yes.
Shen Qingzhi, what are you planning to do?
You...don't kill me!
Stop!
Are you planning to go against me?!
Your Majesty, I'm doing this for your own good.
Without my orders, you dared to act on your own?
Looks like you have never put any importance to me.
Your Majesty, the past emperor gave you the empire.
He asked me to assist you. But you...
Leave!
How are you?
Uncle. This...
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally here!
I almost died, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, my uncle has repeatedly contradicted you because no one in this world will be able to surpass his merits.
He think that without him, Your Majesty's empire have long crumbled.
This is uncle's rashness. I am willing to suffer the punishment in his behalf.
May Your Majesty forgive him.
What did you say?
I am willing to suffer the punishment in his behalf.
What did you say before that? Say it again.
I dare not say uncle's orginal words.
Your Majesty! I heard it all!
Shen Qingzhi said that without him,
your head would have fallen in the ground already. (would have been dead)
You wouldn't be in the throne anymore!
Did I tell you to say it?!
If you keep being like this,
one day, you'll roll down!
Very good...Shen Qingzhi!
You deserved to die! I'll kill you!
Hey, didn't you get stab earlier? Why are there no blood?
Isn't that blood?
Talk less. Just wear that armor I gave you.
Men! Put us back!
It's safer inside than out here!
Men!
I'm here.
He's still kneeling outside?
Yes.
- Let him in. - Yes.
Uncle, I admit my mistakes.
Do you know what you did wrong?
I shouldn't have told His Majesty where you were going.
And I shouldn't have let him stop you from killing Prince Xiangdong.
Youzhi, I have always been strict to you
because the Shen family can only rely on you in the future.
I am already old. I don't know how long I can still accompany His Majesty.
One day, this heavy responsibility
will fall on your shoulders.
But your head is only full of status.
You forgot the debt we owed the past emperor for promoting our Shen clan and you've forgotten
that as a subject, your loyalty is to the emperor.
That you should do your utmost duty to the citizens.
Yes.
It was all my fault. Uncle, please punish me.
Get up.
Thanks, Uncle.
Youzhi, it's good that you know your mistakes.
Uncle, why do you keep eating those?
I'm used to it.
I'll ask them to prepare some more food and I'll eat with you.
No need.
Wait for me.
Uncle.
Uncle, how come you have this much loathe only towards Prince Xiangdong?
Youzhi, I have observed the four princes.
Prince Jian'an Liu Xiuren lacks restraint in showing off his abilities.
Prince Shanyang Liu Xiuyou is a coward and weak.
Prince Yiyang Li Chang is benevolent and generous.
Only this Liu Yu,
acts to be a mediocre and incompetent, but in reality, has very wild ambitions.
I am sure that if Prince Xiangdong is not killed,
he will be a source of trouble sooner or later.
But you rashly acting like that causing His Majesty to be so angry. I fear that you might invite trouble unto yourself.
His Majesty is young and insensible. As his subjects,
we should frequently advise him.
You must not overlook his actions just because you're afraid of inviting trouble unto yourself.
I learned a lot from you. Come, Uncle, please.
Youzhi, the state affairs in the future
will need your support.
Uncle, what's wrong?
Uncle, let me assist you over there to rest.
You bastard!
You've put poison in the wine?!
I was ordered by His Majesty to kill the rebellious subject Shen Qingzhi!
Princess.
Come in.
Princess, Great General Shen has died from illness.
You two, put the items in the back.
Yes.
Thank you, Princess. If Uncle knew that you personally came,
he surely will feel very comforted.
I'll go look at Great General Shen.
Uncle has already been dressed with his funeral robes.
Dressed in funeral robes?
Have you done the ceremony to call back the spirit?
This...we still hasn't.
You still haven't done the ceremony to call back his spirit, but you already rushed in putting funeral curtains
and spreading the news of his death. Are you in a hurry?
It was because Uncle died so suddenly, I didn't have the time to arrange for it yet.
Since that's the case, I ask to see Great General one last time.
Princess, it's inappropriate.
Why?
Uncle died from an illness and his face is quite frightening. I fear that it might scare you.
General Shen, you kept jumping from one subject to another.
What are you covering up?
Princess, that action is very disrespectful to Uncle. Won't you spare even a dead person?
General Shen, why are there blood in the corner of Great General's mouth?
That was because Uncle was in so much pain that he bit his own mouth.
Liar!
Say the truth. How did Great General die?
If you still don't say it,
I'll immediately call people to do an autopsy on Great General's corpse.
If Princess must know it,
I can only it to you then.
Uncle was ordered to be killed by His Majesty.
What?
Uncle was killed by His Majesty.
Princess.
Good!
Sister?! Come over here. Let's watch this together.
You killed Shen Qingzhi?
Shen Youzhi that stupid man.
With just a measly matter, he has to let everyone know about it. Sister, please move aside.
Do you know who has helped you preserve your empire?
It's Shen Qingzhi.
He has too much nonsense and he loves meddling with my matters.
He is already at his 80's, already very old.
Can't you just endure it?
Moreover, everything he did was for your own good!
Everything that he did was for my sake! He was always right, while I was always wrong! Is that fine already?
Sister, you know that I hate hearing useless words like that.
You didn't deliberately come to anger me, right?
Sister, he is already dead.
There's no need for us to destroy our relationship just for a dead person, right?
Fashi, could it be that one day,
you will also kill me?
Sister! Even if I kill all the people in this world,
I will never kill you.
Let us stop saying these things anymore, okay?
Come, Sister, let's watch the play together.
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
Isn't it fun?
Is this a shadow play?
Bring it here.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
I pulled out that woman's hair
and her bones, then made them into a shadow puppet.
How about it? If you like them,
I'll give them to you.
Sister.
Hua Yuan'er, why did Sister leave?
His Majesty, Princess got scared.
Never thought that Sister is such a coward.
I'll use these again next time to scare her.
Your Majesty, will you continue watching?
Continue. Here. Take them away.
Yes.
I pulled out that woman's hair and her bones,
then made them into a shadow puppet. I'll give them to you.
[Jingxin Pavilion]
Princess!
Junior Brother, why did you suddenly come to see me?
Senior Brother, do you recognize this?
This is an item that Princess always bring with her. Why is it with you?
Are you sure that it's hers?
I can't be wrong. Before Princess enters the palace,
Rong Zhi will always deliver her this fragrance pouch.
So, that's the case.
What is it Junior Brother?
Senior Brother, I need you to do something for me.
Fendai...
Remember this. Even if you are grieving a lot about Fendai's dead,
you must not show it.
Once Liu Ziye notices it,
you will lose your last chance to take revenge.
Don't pick them up.
I already said it...don't pick them up.
Don't follow me!
Guess who I am?
Hua Cuo.
Not right.
- Yue Jiefei. - Not right.
Liu Se.
Princess refuses to see Liu Se.
He currently locked himself up to study, so as to impress you.
It can't be Huan Yuan, right? How come you also make jokes like this with me?
Annoying. Princess actually can't recognize my voice?!
Stupid, how can I not know that it's you?
Other than you, who else in this manor will make such jokes with me?
And who is as short as you?
Even if you didn't talk, I already know it.
Really, Princess?
You were deliberately playing with me?
Didn't I arrange for a teacher to teach you poems? How come you came to see me?
I discovered a stone that can make sounds outside the city yesterday.
I want to take Princess there to look at it.
I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to go look.
It's exactly because you're in a bad mood, that's why, you should go look.
Princess, let's go... Okay?
Okay. Okay. I'll go with you. Slow down. Slow down.
Master, why must you do this?
What?
Master knew that Princess is in a bad mood,
but she was unwilling to share her problem with anyone.
You deliberately asked the young Liu Sang to accompany her
just to amuse her, right?
Mo Xiang, you're overthinking?
- It's Master who is caring about Princess too much! - Mo Xiang.
What is Master's identity? How could you like a woman who is idiotic and ignorant?
I am just overthinking.
But Shen Qingzhi is already dead.
I followed your orders and bribed two imperial guards.
What will we do next?
It's time to pull up the net.
Slow down. Slow down.
Liu Sang, where is the treasure that you're talking about?
Princess, it's just in front.
Hurry.
How come there is now a person on the rock?
[Guan Canghai]
We didn't know that you two are here. Sorry to have disturbed you.
Princess, the rock is not theirs. What's wrong if we look at it?
It wasn't easy for Brother Rong to find--
Rong Zhi?
- May Lord help me. - Menke Xiao, please just go back.
I'm just a man observing the mourning of my father.
I will never join the secular world, nor assist the Xiao clan.
But how come I remember
that you said the same words to my father 3 years ago?
Maybe because you were such a busy important person, so you remembered the date wrong.
You! Can't you see that he doesn't want to help you?
You still insist and won't leave. So shameless.
I will take my leave.
Princess. I still haven't thanked you
for helping me last time.
What? Is the Xiao family also competing to get the world?
Princess, please watch what you're saying.
You rescued Prince Yiyang last time, and now, lowering yourself to request a hermit for help.
Aren't those enough to show your XIao family's wild ambition?
But don't worry, I won't tell Liu Ziye about this.
I also won't go after this matter anymore.
Because for me, no matter who among you get the world,
it's enough that you treat the citizens well.
Thank you Princess for waking me up last time by scolding me.
A zither is indeed an instrument to gain popularity.
If I want to achieve my goal, I should be grounded.
One day, I surely will not disappoint friend like you.
I'll be a good person that will bring blessings to the world.
Xiao Daocheng, when I scolded and woke you up then,
was it right or wrong?
How come he's gone?
Where did he go?
It's exactly this rock. Princess, when Brother Rong took me here yesterday.
This rock can even make sounds on its own. How come it's not making sounds now?
Let's hurry and go look.
That's the sound. That's exactly the sound.
It's like someone is playing the flute.
Princess! Hurry and come here to look, Princess!
It's exactly this sound. So pleasing to hear.
This rock has so many small holes.
Once the water hits it, it will produce sound.
Really?
- So mystical. - This person kept being invited by the Xiao clan.
When did Jiankang have such a personality?
Now that several groups in Jiankang are gathering their own people.
I fear that the sky (ruler) will change soon.

Princess, His Majesty is asking for you to immediately enter the Palace.
What do these soldiers mean?
You have to personally ask His Majesty about that.
Princess, what should we do?
Liu Sang, I'm going to enter the palace.
Inform Huan Yuan about it.
- Princess! - Listen to my words.
Aren't we going to the Palace? Why are we still not leaving?
Princess, please.
Fashi, the weather has gone cold.
Why aren't you wearing more clothes?
Fashi.
Sister, why did you lie to me?
What are you talking about?
You have always been lying to me.
I'm not.
Fashi, listen to me.
You lied to me! Why did you lie to me?!
- Why did you lie to me? - Fashi, what are you doing?
- Why did you lie to me? - I didn't!
- Why did you lie to me?! - I didn't!
You didn't?
Tell me then. Please explain this.
What is this?
Say it.
I'm asking you what this is!
Fashi, please believe me. Fashi...
You know that the fragrance in that pouch can calm me down.
But you never told me that.
Are you really thinking for my sake?
Tian Rujing, being an imperial astrologer, is a person that's beyond the mortal world.
Does he need to slander you?
And Yue Jiefei, your personal bodyguard,
he also is a witness to this.
Every time that you come to see me, you will bring this fragrance pouch.
When I'm calmer,
you would ask me for this and that. Aren't those real?
- Fashi, before is before. - Explain it to me.
But now, I really didn't want you to go wild
- that's why, I do this. - You don't want me to go wild?!
Fashi!
Go now.
I don't want to see you again.
Fashi, you are in a bad mood now.
Once you want to listen to my explanation, just look for me.
Without my orders, you are not allowed to leave the Princess Manor even for a bit.
Wait a minute.
I have something to say to Imperial Astrologer.
Princess, His Majesty told us to accompany you out of the palace.
Look...
What wind is blowing today?
The southern winds.
Today, it's the southern winds that's blowing. But maybe by tomorrow, it will be the northern winds.
Seeing the wind and setting the helm must also have a principle behind it.
Of course, if you can guarantee that the wind direction won't change forever,
I will be impressed with you.
Princess, you are right.
Princess.
His Majesty told me
that it was you who reported to him that I'm using the fragrance pouch to control him.
Using this opportunity to gain benefit, is that it?
Yes.
What did you tell me last time?
You said that no one can interfere with the will of the Heaven, including you.
What are you doing then?
You are distancing me and His Majesty and using this opportunity to put me in house arrest.
I gave you a chance.
But your wish of changing His Majesty has completely failed.
Yes. I know that it can't be fulfilled.
But I can use the fragrance pouch to stabilize his mood.
Look at how he is now.
He is like a crazy beast that will kill anytime.
I don't understand your point for doing this.
It's totally harming others and not gaining anything from it.
Princess, you're different.
What different?
You won't accept your own fate
and kept trying to change the will of the heaven and even affected my judgment.
That's why, I must lock you up and let you quietly stay put.
You are afraid that I'll influence Liu Ziye,
that's why, you turned the Princess Manor into a cage
and let me quietly stay in there to wait for that day to come.
Maybe, I'll get sentenced as a rebel and be killed.
Maybe, I will try my best to taste the fear of one's life drawing to its end.
This is the fate that you have planned for the seven-star fated person, am I right?
Princess.
Your Master previously caused me to be homeless, miserable,
and lose everything. Now, you want me to just watch as death approaches me.
Tian Rujing, you are so cruel.
You doing this is several times more cruel than just killing me!
Sorry.
This is my duty.
Don't say sorry to me.
That's the most useless word in this world. I will never forgive you.
Your Highness.
I will send you to here.
Your Highness, please don't be anxious and worried.
His Majesty is in a moment of anger,
when he's appeased, you would be back in his favour.
Hopefully it's as what you said.
Your Highness, take care.
Your Highness.
Commander Yue, you are telling tales in front of the emperor.
You are so loyal.
- Get out! - Your Highness–
Go away.
Let's see who will have the last laugh.
Accumulating Talents as the Way
Your Highness.
Liu Chuyu, what are you doing?
He Ji, not only are you detaining me,
you are controlling the entire Princess Manor in your hands.
What exactly do you want?
I'm acting under the orders of His Majesty, to monitor you.
Did he order you to send me foul food to eat? You are using this chance to take revenge at me.
Liu Chuyu, I've been tolerating for so long.
As a woman, you should stay put at home and listen to your husband's commands.
But you,
you think of ways and means to climb onto my head.
If you aren't Princess Shanyin, I would've taken your life.
It's good now.
You have lost the favour of His Majesty.
I advise you to stay put inside,
if you anger me, you will have any good ending.
Do you know where this place is?
Princess Manor.
That's right. This is the Princess Shanyin's manor.
Even if I'm like a tiger which has left the mountains and is now being trapped on the plains, I'm still the owner. (T/N: one who loses position and influence may be subjected to much indignity)
It's not your turn as the monkey to be called the leader of the pack.
Moreover, how do you know
if Fashi won't change his mind?
Let me tell you, we are blood sister and brother.
- What kind of thing are you? - You! - You dare to?
You better pray that His Majesty believes you soon.
Before you are sure that I am out of favour,
you better change the dishes.
His Majesty said I can't leave the manor, but he didn't say I can't step out of Mingyu Pavilion.
Your brain is not good and have bad memory. I don't know how you become Prince Consort.
What are you doing?
I'm asking for your forgiveness.
You are ordered to protect me but you weren't on my side.
It was so easy for you to betray me.
If necessary, you can point your sword at me.
Why are you asking me for forgiveness?
Your Highness, I'm a guard of the royal family.
I'm the senior of Tian Rujing.
For the sake of Yunjin Mountain, it was done with sad resignation.
Your Highness, can you forgive me this time?
Yue Jiefei, wherever there's danger,
you were the one who stood in front of me.
I trusted you unknowingly.
But I've reminded myself more than once to be careful you.
It's because of this, I can't forgive you.
I hate you more than Tian Rujing, do you understand?
I understand.
Good that you understand.
But Your Highness, the reason why I did this,
is because I have no choice but to do this.
What "no choice but to do this".
Then do this. From now onwards,
whether you want to serve the Emperor or listen to your junior,
get away from me as far as possible.
- Follow her. - Yes.
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
Whoever still follows me, I will cut off their legs. Go away.
I've been detained for so many days.
You didn't come by to visit me.
Those stupid fools can't detain you, My Highness.
Faced with the current predicament, I have three plans, best plan, second best plan and worst plan.
Your Highness, which one would you like to hear?
Tell me about it.
Now that you and the emperor are at loggerheads,
there are only three solutions. The best one,
the current emperor is fatuous. You can kill him.
And select another younger brother as the ruler,
and you be the person to assist in court affairs.
The second plan, to frame the Imperial Astrologer,
and cause him to lose the emperor's trust.
You console the emperor and gain his trust.
The worst is for you to protect yourself and stay away from these matters,
and leave the princess manor in secret.
Are all these three plans you mentioned effective?
To resolve the conflicts,
first, let Liu Ziye disappear.
Second, remove the reason for your conflict.
Third, you disappear.
It's not difficult to resolve the conflict between you and His Majesty.
But the cracks have appeared, and it will be even bigger.
A successful person must grasp the big picture
and gain the most benefits.
For the best plan, though it's sinister and evil,
the road ahead will be smooth-going.
So you want me to choose the best plan?
No.
You'd rather be a powerless commoner,
than to be a ruthless queen, right?
You know me so well.
So I suggest you to choose the worst plan, leave Jiankang city.
This way, you can live.
No.
I can't leave.
Your Highness.
- Your Highness, I finally see you. - Liu Se?
Your Highness, they don't allow me to come in and see you.
What are you looking me for?
Princess, you told me to stay in my room and study all day.
When will it end?
- Study until you are not anymore thinking of getting promoted and becoming rich all day. - But I...
Enough, Liu Se. I have something to talk with Princess about.
- Why must I? - Huan Yuan, come with me.
Yes.
You two... Princess! Princess!
How come you two are not blocking him?
You are bullying me too much!
Princess, this...
Prince Consort has sent his men to guard me.
The matters that happened in the palace has already spread in the whole Jiankang City.
The best plan now is to leave.
How come you also are suggesting that?
Where am I going? How am I going to avoid the chasing army?
What will I rely on to live in the future?
I have an idea. Hope Princess can forgive me.
Say it.
I bought a house another place behind your back.
That time, I only wanted to create a retreat path for my self.
Why are you telling me this?
If you want to escape, you can leave on your own.
I want to thank Princess for giving me a chance to exhibit my abilities.
Now that Princess has fallen into dire straits, I will not just watch and do nothing.
Huan Yuan, thank you for believing in me.
But I can't leave now.
Why?
Prince Yiyang escaped. Shen Qingzhi is dead.
His Majesty is killing people in an unrestrained manner. The whole court is filled with complaints.
Liu Ziye has already developed suspicion against you.
If you don't leave, you will get destroyed with him.
I made a mistake.
I must make up for it. If I leave,
who will end this fight?
Princess, you...
Don't say it anymore.
When the time comes that I need to, I will tell you about it,
but it's not now.
