Untouchable Lovers
Episode 32
General, His Highness Prince Kang is here.
Go and finish handling the matters in the military camp.
Yes.
Why are you here, Prince Kang?
Today, I came to have some drinks with you.
Please do as you wish.
I have never tried to force you
because I disdain to do so.
But that doesn't mean that I have now means of getting you.
Prince Kang especially came here to see me just to say these?
Since long time ago, I have been watching you attentively.
But you have never looked back to me even for once. Even just some charitable love,
you also wouldn't give me a bit.
I would always think of
trying to feel how it is to embrace you.
Let go.
Huo Xuan, I really like you a lot.
Thank you for Your Highness' love. But I don't...
I know that you have never liked me.
You have told me that so many times.
But I have never felt it as true as I did today!
I did so many evil things,
but I have never hurt you.
Because I believed that one day,
you will be moved by me. One day, you'll know
that in this world, I'm that person who loves you the most.
But what about you? Just for Rong Zhi,
you didn't hesitate to trample on my heart.
I, for you,
doesn't even count as a friend.
Just for him, you can stab a sharp blade into my chest!
Tuoba Yun.
Huo Xuan, one day, you will regret this.
No, I won't.
I have never regretted anything that I've done in my life.
- Really? - Really.
Huo Xuan, you are too arrogant and confident.
You think that the love you want, the everything that you want,
will belong to you?
A person isn't that simple.
You can't always obtain as much as you give out.
What? You don't believe me? I can make a bet with you.
No matter if it's fighting a war or making a bet, I have never lost.
Let me make a bet with you that Rong Zhi will never love you.
You lost this battle before even starting to fight it.
I really want to see how our outstanding Feifeng General
will suffer a crushing defeat. By that time,
Huo Xuan, I hope that you can still say 'no regrets'.

Your Highness.
I've always thought that I'm a very intelligent person.
But never thought that
I would easily get controlled by others.
No.
The one that controlled Your Highness isn't rationality,
but a man's jealousy.
The other party knew very well what you're thinking
and what you need.
That's why, he was able to hit the target and make you bleed with one shot.
Your Highness is a resolute person.
But because of that woman, you kept being unable to be ruthless.
This time, you didn't lose to Prince Regent,
but to Huo Xuan.
You know everything?
Right. I know.
I know everything.
I have always treated you as a shadow.
Do you blame me?
An illusion is an illusion
because its empty, remote, and unclear. After overestimating one's capabilities for a long time,
you would end up exhausting yourself. Your Highness is a smart person.
How then will you do stupid things?
A warm and tender accompaniment that lasts forever is more important than anything.
I believe that one day,
I will replace her and become that most important person in your heart.
Your Highness, I treat you well.
I will also whole-heartedly wait for it.
Regardless of what I must give,
as long as you want it,
I will realize it for you.
What I want?
The imperial throne.
The only thing that can help you prop yourself up again
is that imperial throne that's set up on high.
This is just a small failure. Why put it to heart?
There is still grander success waiting for us.
No matter where you want to go,
I will always accompany you.
Shen Yu, what are you doing?
May Princess Consort forgive me. His Highness has orders that you can't leave the manor.
But I want to go out.
Qingyue.
Stop!
Your Highness.
Chuyu, what are you thinking?
I want to go out.
Sure. Let Shen Yu take you out.
I don't need any monitoring.
This is not monitoring. It's protection.
You...
You have two choices.
One, behave and just stay here.
Second, let Shen Yu take you out.
I'm not going anymore. Is that okay now?
Your Highness, Princess Consort just gave up that easily?
Watch her closely today. She surely will play some tricks again.
But I can't watch her all day.
If you can't, there's still Qingyue.
Qingyue? She's very loyal to Princess Consort.
She guards me like guarding a thief.
How is it possible to get her to help us?
That depends on your intelligence then.
Me? Stop playing with me, Your Highness.
Making her our spy is harder than going up the sky.
Pretty man trick.
Your Highness! Your Highness! This, I...
Your Highness!
What Qingyue likes?
Yes.
General Shen, Qingyue is still very young. How could you transfer your attention to her?
Lanruo, you clearly know that I...
How could I like Qingyue? It's not like what you think.
I just want to get her to our side and ask her to monitor Princess Consort.
A real man can tell anyone anything.
How can you come up with such a scheme?
This was His Highness' order.
His Highness is noble and benevolent. The more he wouldn't have come up with such an idea.
Just tell me if you have a way or not.
I don't. You're on your won.
Lanruo!
Go and guard by the gates.
Yes.
Qingyue, these flowers are for you.
[Red Phoenix Room]
Qingyue.
Are you learning Xianbei language? How about I teach you?
- General, your hat isn't straight. - Really?
Go and patrol!
Hateful girl, I must subdue you.
[Red Phoenix Room]
Qingyue!
Come over here.
What do you want?!
- Say it. - This is s short bow that's the most popular in Wei right now.
It can shoot far and is very light.
More importantly, it's very suitable for women to use.
Here.
Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to bribe you.
I just hope that we all can get along well.
Of course, if Princess Consort will try to sneak out again, just inform me first.
You...
Qingyue, this is an aromatic grilled chicken that I just had someone buy just now.
I'll give it to you.
How can a radish compare to grilled chicken? That's totally not delicious.
Who says so? It's delicious!
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong? Did you choke?
Come... Here...
Just drink it!
Enough. I won't force you anymore. Hurry and eat.
What do you mean?
I don't really have any evil intentions.
Weren't you trying to seduce me using the pretty man trick?
How did you know?
You think you're beautiful?
You shouldn't use beautiful to describe a man. It should be handsome.
You're not handsome too.
What did you say?
If you were as soldierly and confident as General Huo,
your pretty man trick might have worked.
Are you blind? General Huo is a woman.
So what if she's a woman? Princess said that beauty has no gender. She's right.
I think that you're not blind. You're dumb.
Just wit your looks, you even thought of using the pretty man trick? Aren't you dumb too?
Okay... I won't argue with you.
Anyway, in your heart,
I'm inferior to a grilled chicken.
That's right. A grilled chicken can be eaten. What can you do?
I can protect you.
You can't even defeat me.
Actually, I don't have any evil intentions.
I just want you to inform me
if Princess Consort will go out next time.
You don't have evil intentions, but your methods were evil.
What if I fell for you, what would you do?
You can't bully an insensible girl
or you'll get struck by lightning.
You said it right. I apologize.
Actually, I just want to know the whereabouts of Princess Consort,
so I can immediately provide help next time that she's in danger.
If you're unhappy, then forget it.
I'm going now.

Where did you go this late hour?
What is that thing?
Let me see.
- Grilled chicken? - Yes.
You went to the kitchen?
There's nothing wrong with going there. What's wrong with me asking?
Why are you blushing?
I...am not.
You're not? Go and look at your face.
I'm not.
Fine, none then.
Qingyue, are you happy here?
If Princess is happy, then I'm happy.
If you're not, then I'm unhappy too.
You are you. Me is me. How can my thoughts replace yours?
I feel that as long I can have a full meal and wear warm clothes,
I'm happy already.
Our adorable Qingyue really have such down-to-earth thoughts.
Then, haven't you thought of looking for a man you like
and blissfully live the rest of your life?
Being full and warm is blissful enough.
If you don't have a man you like, you won't be happy anymore?
When I was still living in the mountain forest,
thousands of drone bees will fight each other before determining who will marry the queen bee.
But in the end, all of them died.
And very soon, the queen bee had a new husband.
They would compete here and there,
wong...so boring.
But humans are animals with intelligence.
After having a full meal and wearing warm clothes, he would naturally want to find a partner,
so he won't feel lonely. Whether Shen Yu is sincere towards you or not,
you surely can understand, right?
One time, I saw
a male praying mantis dancing continuously
just to court a female praying mantis. He even rubbed hier antennae.
I think...what Shen Yu is doing
is like what the male praying mantis is doing.
Princess, after beating around the bush, what really do you want to say?
I want to remind you
to look for a man that's sincere towards you.
Shi Yu isn't a suitable choice, right?
I know.
Oh, right. The female praying mantis then bit off the head of the male praying mantis.
Love is so cruel.
It's human instinct to pursue love.
But humans are too complicated. They want too much.
In the end, they don't even know what love is anymore.
That's why, one must be careful when meeting a man like that.
His Majesty has already rested in Taihua Palace?
Yes.
This emperor...
He already successively didn't stay for the night in any imperial consort's chambers for half a month.
This has never happened before.
Your Lady Highness, do you want me to go to Taihua Palace and ask around?
It must be His Majesty has gotten sick of the beautiful women in the palace.
This might be a good thing for us.
What you mean is...
Go and send a message to Prince Kang.
Tell him that that beautiful woman that he has been meticulously preparing
can be of use now.
He naturally will understand what to do.
Yes.
Lanruo.
Princess Consort, do you have any instructions?
I'm already very bored in staying in my room for the whole day.
How about this? Ask someone to perform to relieve me of my boredom?
I'll inform the theater troupe to perform then.
Theater troupe?
No, I don't want to listen to that.
How about...circus act?
I know already. You must love watching shadow plays.
Sure. Sure. Go then.
Okay. I'll go now. Don't rush.
Once the shadow play people come,
knock him unconscious and we'll change to their clothes and sneak out.
- Princess. - It's a deal then.
- This was from Qingyue? - Yes. Princess Consort is planning to sneak out again.
Qingyue is reminding us to not forget to send men to protect her.
She really can't bear to stay in one place.
Qingyue must be very worried of Princess Consort's safety. Your Highness—
I know. Go now.
Ha? We'll just let her have her way?
What if something happened?!
Go now.
Yes.
These were all given by His Highness?
Butler Zhao already said that His Highness never blamed you. His Highness has a predicament.
Just to make Prince Kang believe that a conflict has arisen between Chancellor Ma and him,
hence, he ordered men to restrict you. But they have already reached their goal.
Mistress, you finally can go out now.
I even thought that he doesn't want to see me anymore in this lifetime.
How is that possible? His Highness asked people to send so many curios
exactly to make you happy.
Look at how beautiful this gem is.
Let me see.
Let's go. I want to thank His Highness.
Mistress, you haven't changed your clothes.
Oh, my, I even forgot about that. Hurry and help me put on make up and dress up.
Let's change into a pretty dress and go see him in a beautiful manner.
Yes.
The shadow play box is too huge and can't be moved here?
The shadow play box is too heavy.
The artists asked Princess Consort if you can walk to a larger room to watch it.
Oh, that...
What else are we waiting for then? Let's go.
Chuyu.
Royal Uncle?
Royal Uncle, why are you here?
Chuyu, I can't appear in person and can only meet you like this.
But if you charge in here,
I'm really leaving then.
Don't go!
Royal Uncle, I miss you so much.
I also want so much to go back to Song.
Can I just look at you for a while. Just one look.
If you insist on charging into here, I can only leave now.
I'll stand here and not move then.
Chuyu, you were always disobedient to me.
Didn't I already tell you
to behave and stay here in Wei, become a qualified Princess Consort.
I am trying to best.
But all of them don't like me and even suspect that I'm a spy.
I'm so hurt.
If not because of the peace between Song and Wei, I would have long gone home.
Chuyu, what you did is right.
If you go home like this, I wouldn't forgive you.
But I miss home.
Royal Uncle, I miss the Huai River of Jiankang.
I miss the flying catkins
and a sky full of drizzles.
Those were everything that I miss.
There's nothing here in Pingcheng.
Here, you have the gurgling moats.
Within them are swimming golden carps.
By the shore are newly planted willows.
Also, more towering city walls and palaces.
But, this is not Jiankang. And you're not my Royal Uncle!
I just knew it was you. What moats, what willows, all are lies!
Those are just fake scenery to imitate Jiankang.
The wind here is strong. The sand whirls.
The males are boorish and scary.
I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Chuyu!
On what way do you still want to make fun of me?
I didn't plan to make fun of you.
It's just that you are too homesick. What else can I do?
I can only amuse you to make you happy. That's why, if you didn't like it,
I apologize.
Chuyu, sorry.
This time, you really didn't mean to make fun of me?
You just wanted to make me happy?
I know that you are very homesick.
And you want to see your family very much.
And you suffered a lot of grievances.
But despite that, you never willfully left.
I am very grateful and very touched.
That's why, I prepared a shadow play
to make you happier.
Do you know that the manner you spoke and the sound of your voice were so similar?
And Royal Uncle is indeed very fat. How did you know?
I invited some Liu Song merchants
and told them to draw him.
And then, I especially tried to learn his manner of speaking and movement.
But...I only just spontaneously wanted to watch a shadow play.
I even prepared a lot of fun things
that can be put out whenever you get bored.
Never thought that one of them will be put to use so soon.
Rong Zhi, you are really different from before.
You are very tender to me now.
Am I just dreaming?
Is this still dreaming?
You are bullying me again!
Come over here!
Stop right there!
Are you still watching the shadow play?
- Do you like it? - Yes, it's good.

Concubine.
Mistress! Mistress, what are you doing?!
These are the flowers that His Highness likes the most.
What are you doing?
Mistress...
What his most favorite flower?
He is a liar.
He has been lying to me all along!
You all are also lying to me. All of you are liars!
What did you all hear?
I...didn't hear anything.
Don't spread any news about this. Or else, be careful of your tongue!
Mistress, when you went out, you were still very happy.
How come you suddenly changed to a different person upon coming back?
Those flowers were meticulously handpicked by you.
All were His Highness favorites. You usually cared for them so much.
Why then did you cut them all of today?
And this wound on your hand...
If this leaves a scar and Prince Regent asks,
how then must I explain it?
I am welling with hatred.
Really so full of hate.
He gave the love that he refused to give me all to that woman.
It's her fault.
It's all her fault.
If she didn't appear,
His Highness will surely eventually love me.
Your Highness, just instruct such things to the servants.
Why must you personally do them?
They don't know how to draw.
They just have to follow the appearance of Princess Consort in drawing it.
She surely won't have the patience to sit down and let others draw her.
You seem to want to say something.
Your Highness seems to care a lot about Princess Consort.
Her personality is one that yields to a soft approach, but never to force.
I have to think of means to amuse her.
Oh, right. Concubine Ma has been released,
but she kept being depressed these past days.
She kept locking herself in her chambers. Your Highness, do you want to visit her?
Call for an imperial physician to nurse her health.
But everyone knows that
you are the one that Concubine Ma is hoping to see.
I've went a lot of times, but she kept being unable to figure things out.
Instruct her servants to take good care of her. If she's in a bad mood, she can go out of the manor to have strolls to relax her heart.
If she can go to the Ma Manor and stay there for a short while, that will be for the best.
Yes.
Wait.
Your Highness, what instructions do you still have?
Tell the craftsmen to draw this instead.
Yes.
Sorry. I didn't see that you're here.
Greetings, Princess Consort.
Let's go.
Princess Consort.
I want to remind you something.
Princess Consort, let's go back now.
No need. Say it.
The bright moon above the Qin territory (Chang'an) that's now under the Han family, shines its floating and flowing light on Imperial Consort Ming (Wang Zhaojun).
On the day of her wedding, upon going up the Yumen Pass (Jade Gate Pass), she's going to the ends of the world and is never coming back.
Rong Zhi married you
just for our Wei. It's impossible for him to give you happiness.
While you...
will only die in depression.
I won't. No matter where I am,
I believe in myself. I'm different from you.
My blissfulness and happiness will never be established on a man.
Concubine Ma, you have overstepped your boundaries.
Princess Consort, I used to have unrivaled beauty, intelligence, and eloquence.
A well-known talented woman here in Pingcheng.
I also used to be very confident.
I though that His Highness will love me tenderly.
But in the end, what?
Didn't I end up looking this haggard?
You are you. Princess Consort is Princess Consort. You two are different.
No! There's no difference!
He is a man with wild ambitions.
In his world, there are only 2 kinds of women.
One is useful.
The other is useless.
When you're useful,
he naturally will spend time on you.
But once you lose your worth,
he will also not give you one more look.
I am that way.
Princess Consort will also not be an exception.
You...must have gone crazy.
- Mistress. - Princess Consort.
Let's go.
This jade Buddha is exquisitely carved.
Your Majesty, this jade Buddha is 3 to 4 feet.
It's color is like a fat that was cut into half.
Look here. If you look through here,
you can clearly see the Buddha's muscles, bones, and vessels.
Too bad, this line here seems to be a flaw.
It destroyed the general lines of the statue and turned a precious treasure into something ordinary.
My skills are not that good. May Your Majesty punish me.
Prince Kang, did you carve this by your own?
Your Majesty, this jade Buddha was meticulously carved by His Highness Prince Kang
after searching and visiting for famed artists
and used 3 years to finish it.
I know that Your Majesty is very faithful to Buddha.
That's why, I made up my mind to personally carve you a jade statue as a birthday gift.
Never thought that I still left a regret.
It shows that carving skills can be mastered in 3 to 5 years.
You must spend 10 years of hard work to achieve it.
Were your hand injuries also gotten from carving this jade Buddha?
You really have worked hard.
I didn't find it hard. As long as Your Majesty is happy,
I'm willing to carve Your Majesty a jade statue every year.
As long as Your Majesty don't find it crude, I feel contented.
Okay! I'm very moved with Prince Kang's loyalty!
Tell Lady Mi to perform her dance.
Yes.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Look at how many tricks this Prince Kang has.
Look at how amused His Majesty is that he's constantly laughing.
You think that Prince Kang just prepared one jade Buddhist statue?
There is still a beauty offering?
Prince Kang has been secretly searching beautiful ladies lately but he never saved them for himself.
It shows that they are all being trained for His Majesty.
For this Lady Mi to stick out among the rest, she must have something special in her.
If His Majesty gets connected with her, it will be hard for him to escape the land of beauties then.
This person is too scheming. We can't let him insert any of his trusted aides by His Majesty's side.
Calm down.
Wishing Your Majesty good health and long life.
Wishing the Wei empire prosperity and its citizens peace.
Recently, there is this new play that's quite popular.
It's way better than Madam Tayao (Shaking Lady).
Your Majesty, is it okay that you watch it with me?
Royal Mother invited a theater troupe?
