Untouchable Lovers
Episode 49
Liu Song has always paid a lot of attention to proper etiquette. How can they have such an absurd princess?!
This is totally unheard of. What were you doing up there?
Don't you know to not look at things that are not consitent with propriety?
Give me back my fragrance pouch!
Apologize first.
Abandoning the Liu Song Princess during her wedding night is a big insult.
Who's the one that should apologize?
I know that you miss your homeland a lot.
You also want to see your loved ones.
That's why, I prepared a shadow play for I hope that you'll be a bit happier.
You just disappear like that! Don't' you know how worried I am?!
You suddenly lost your life. Don't you know how afraid I was?!
How old are you?! Why don't you still have a brain?! How come you don't know to move towards what's beneficial and avoid what's not?
Because I want to see you.
Also, the more I like to know
if you'll come to find me when I went missing.
But...are you really worried about me?
Sorry, I was wrong.
You even know to admit your mistake?
I shouldn't have lied to trick you.
If I wasn't able to trick you to go there, I would have died.
You won't.
I won't let you die.
Your Majesty, even if Prince Kang is a prince with blood relations, he has committed the crime of rebellion.
His funeral shouldn't be done in an extravagant and grand manner.
Your Majesty, since time immemorial rebels should be cut into pieces.
How could we use a golden coffin and give him the respect of being a prince?
Prince Regent, what is your opinion?
Your Majesty, I don't have any objection in giving Prince Kang the honor of being a blood-related prince in his burial ceremony.
But to suspend the imperial court meetings for 3 days and letting all government officials wear morning clothes
might be a little inappropriate.
Even if he hasn't committed a heinous crime,
he shouldn't enjoy such a kind of honor.
Prince Regent is dead.
Why must you still be this harsh?
Your Majesty, too much is bad as not enough.
What 'too much is bad as not enough'?!
I want him to leave in a grand manner, therefore, I won't make him suffer even a bit grievance.
For this matter...I've already made my decision.
Don't discuss it anymore!
Your Majesty!
Your Highness the Prince Regent.
Eunuch Pan, please immediately inform His Majesty that I have urgent matters to see him.
Your Highness, if you're talking about Prince Kang's matters, let me give you an advice.
Stop trying to touch His Majesty's brows. (angering him)
What does Eunuch Pan mean with those words?
Could it be His Majesty will dare to risk universal condemnation just for a rebel?
Your Highness, His Majesty know only listens to Imperial Consort Hui.
As for others, he doesn't listen at all.
You should just save your energy.
Imperial Consort Hui?
I was talkative. I didn't say anything.
Your Highness the Imperal Consort Hui.
Your Highness the Prince Regent.
Since you got promoted to be Imperial Consort Hui, you've looked more graceful
and luxurious.
- That is all thanks to Your Highness' blessings. - Really?
Of course. If there isn't Your Highness, how can I have my present life?
Times have changed.
From now on, I have to call you Your Highness.
What kind of words is that?
No matter when, I will never forget
that it was His Highness who helped the Feng family get revenge.
I will repay you this kindness sooner or later.
With these words from Imperial Consort Hui, I'm already contented.
I'm not feeling well, so I'll take my leave now.
Your Highness, did you see it clearly now?
It seems like I have belittled Hongxiu in the past.
You must be more careful then from now on.
Eunuch Pan, thank you for your warnings. I won't forget you.
Being able to serve Your Highness is my honor.
You have overpraised me.
What's wrong?
Eunuch Pan, my stomach is aching.
I fear that I can't endure it anymore
A lazy person has too much urine and feces.
When I serve His Majesty, I wouldn't dare drink even a drop of water the whole day.
I was so afraid that just one fart and I might lose this head of mine.
What about you? How long have you been doing this?
You're really so dumb.
How can I compare to you?
- Quickly leave! - Yes...
What do you people do?
I serve by His Majesty's side.
- Your Highness. - What is it?
Eunuch Pan who serves by His Majesty's side has been found dead after drowning in the pond.
I know already. Leave now.
Eunuch Pan is a favored person of His Majesty.
Who would dare do such an evil thing to him?
A person that's very talkative will annoy others.
Maybe, he got very drunk,
wasn't careful, lost his balance, and fell into the water.
What Your Highness said is right.
Your Majesty, we found a secret letter inside Eunuch Pan's room.
- Leave! - Yes.
Your Majesty, what's wrong? Who angered you?
My good uncle has now learned to monitor me.
Your Majesty is talking about Prince Regent?
Other than him, who else
will make alliances by my side?!
If not because Eunuch Pan had a mishap this time
and I ordered the whole palace to be searched, I wouldn't even find out that of this connection.
I never thought that even him
will covet for my throne now.
Your Majesty,
just for Prince Kang's matter, you repeatedly had conflicts with Prince Regent.
It can't be helped for a knot to be left in Prince Regent's heart.
In my opinion, just let this matter go like this.
It's better than family members becoming enemies.
I will never change a decision I made.
Yes.
Your Highness, got very angry because of Eunuch Pan's death.
He said that he would investigate the cause of his death, but in the end, it just ended like that.
This matter is too strange.
Eunuch Pan is His Majesty's trusted aide. Only after trying to win him to your side for a long time did he start to show some inclination.
But now that he's dead, we lose our ears and eyes beside His Majesty.
Shouldn't we make preparations beforehand?
Zhao Xiang! Zhao Xiang!
Your Highness, what is it?
Set up a banquet at the Flower Hall today. Call Princess Consort to dine with me.
Yes.
Your Highness.
Your thoughts are totally not in state affairs. What's gong on with you?
Don't say it anymore.
What time is it now? His Majesty is getting more suspicious of you.
You're not thinking of how to resolve it and even indulge in romantic follies.
If this continues, things will just worsen and eventually become uncontrollable.
I've said it already that I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Your Highness, I made these for you.
The red beans filling was personally mixed by me. It's very soft and sticky.
Taste it.
And this 'Harmonious for a Hundred Years',
I peeled the water lily flower one by one just to make this.
Your Highness, just to create these dishes, Miss Yueya even broke her nails.
Permanent Palace Attendant Zhao, you've overpraised me.
I just hope that His Highness can eat happily.
Who allowed her to come here?
It's me.
What do you mean by this?
I don't want to accompany you to eat, so looked for someone else.
Your Highness, your hand!
Leave! You all get out!
Let's go.
Your Highness...
What do you want to do now?
I'm the one who wants to ask you, what really do you want to do?
Rong Zhi...
I want to ask you a question.
Can you be serious in answering me?
Say it. I surely will honestly answer it.
In this life,
have you ever regretted lying to anyone?
I never regretted the things that I've done.
Never regretted?
What a good 'never regretted'.
Rong Zhi, for you...
lying has become your second nature.
Just to achieve your goals, you can casually trample on other people's heart.
You have grown accustomed to a habit.
What are you really talking about?
I don't understand. Can you say it more clearly?!
There's nothing to say.
I'm tired.

Princess Consort.
Princess Consort, why must you treat His Highness like this?
Because I discovered...
that I've been living in successive scams.
I don't understand.
Your Highness treats you that tenderly.
For the peace and happiness of the citizens,
I didn't mind sacrificing myself.
But now, I discovered that all these have an ulterior motive.
I am tormented and kept wavering for a man that
I shouldn't have fallen in love with,
but he just pretend as if nothing is wrong.
'What really is hiding behind this marriage alliance?',
I couldn't even dare ask anymore.
Since I can't bear to do it,
I'd rather willingly leave Rong Zhi.
Leave Wei forever.
I'm getting more and more confused.
You don't need to understand.
It's enough that I understand.
How do you plan to do it?
I'm leaving this place.
You said earlier that you're leaving this place?
Right. Help me.
If I leave, Prince Regent is yours, as long as you help me leave Pingcheng.
No...I dare not.
I am just a lowly concubine. What can I help you with?
Let me tell you that if you're willing,
I'll tell you what to do.
No....I can't. His Highness will never forgive me.
No...
Your Highness, what's the meaning of this?
I've already ordered all government officials and officers to wear mourning clothes for Prince Kang,
but all of you are refusing to do it.
I then ordered people to make them and deliver them to you.
Wear them in front of me.
Your Majesty, wearing mourning clothes for a royal prince did happen before.
But Prince Kang committed a crime of rebelion.
How can you tell all of us
to mourn for a rebel?
Your Majesty, that kind of clothing mustn't be worn.
If this gets out, won't the citizens laugh at us?
I'm giving you all two choices,
either you just behave and mourn or remove your own head.
Since you all refuse to join the mourning,
then personally go serve by Prince Kang's side.
Men!
Your Majesty...have mercy!
Your Majesty, this is too absurd! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! This is too absurd!
Your Majesty!
Prince Regent.
You...should serve as the model of all officials.
Your Highness, please change into these clothes.
Prince Regent, did you hear my words?
Your Majesty, do you feel guilty for
Prince Kang's death?
Prince Regent, do you know what you're saying?!
Since time immemorial, people who tried to usurp the trhone
and rebels could be killed by anyone for this is a grave crime.
But Your Majesty now even want to bury him with the honor of a Royal Prince
and even requested all government officials to be in mourning.
This is far from the proper etiquette that a criminal prince should receive. Prince Kang's crime is not pardonable.
The motive of Your Majesty for doing all these
is to prove the might of the emperor
and to comfort your guilty heart.
Shut up!
Just for a measly burial, you'e dragging the government's proper decorum
and Wei's laws to be buried with it.
Please forgive me for being unable to join.
You...!
You disobeying subject!
- Your Majesty... - Get lost!
Prince Regent isn't loyal to his king at all.
Who really is being extremely disobedient!
Starting today, Prince Regent will be locked in his manor
to reflect on his actions behind closed doors. Without my decree,
he's not allowed to leave his manor!
- Your Majesty. - Hongxiu.
Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?
My head aches a lot.
Those incompetent doctors don't really have any cure for it.
Your Majesty, what your pressing on is the yintang point.
If you heavily press on it,
it can sometimes relieve the headache but not cure the main cause.
Tell me, what should I do then?
Yanzhi.
What are you doing? How come it smells like medicine.
I add a few medicines inside it that helps in relieving pain.
It is indeed effective. From where did you learn this?
Your Majesty, you don't know that just to cure you,
Her Highness have called for a lot of commoner doctors and tested so many prescriptions.
Even her hands almost got burned from making medicinal soups.
Yanzhi.
Hongxiu, for me,
you're exerting too much.
Come. Let me give you some more massage.
Your Majesty, Commander Peng asks for an audience.
Peng Ge? Let him in.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Peng Ge, have you brought me the head of Huo Xuan?
Your Majesty, I have failed in my mission. I deserve to die.
Then it means that you've let her escape.
May Your Majesty forgive me.
I've expected it. Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
If I gather the strength of the world,
won't killing a Huo Xuan be as easy as flipping my hand?
Killing her isn't hard.
What's hard is how to placate the Hou Army.
What Your Majesty means is...
I want you to carry my imperial decree and immediately take over the Huo Army.
Tell them in my behalf that Huo Xuan has committed a grave crime.
I was merciful and allowed her to leave.
Hope they can understand my painstaking intentions and continue loyally serving the government.
Yes!
But if I leave, PIngcheng...
Pingcheng is stable and tranquil. No need for you to be here.
It is the Huo Army that you should tightly keep watch in my behalf. Don't make any more mistakes!
I will obey your command!
Your Majesty, let me give you some more massage.
Hongxiu, look...
These memorials are all to request for leniency in behalf o Prince Regent.
How come you're not talking?
I'm asking you.
Could it be that you've gotten proud for being spoiled with love and is disobeying me?
Your Majesty, I am just worried
that you will lose the harmony and stability of the court just because of a moment of anger.
After all, Prince Regent is your only able subject.
He helped you resolve difficulties and rid you of anxieties. Even if he did commit a mistake—
Shut up!
I'll take my leave.
Hongxiu.
It wasn't my intention to vent my anger on you earlier.
Your Majesty, I already said it.
The royal harem shouldn't interfere with state affairs. It was you who insisted that I talk.
Okay already. I was wrong.
Don't put it to heart.
When I just ascended to the throne, my power was weak and there were problems both inside and outside the government.
Rong Zhi indeed has made a lot of contributions to my rule.
But I've given him way more than he deserved.
Now, he kept contradicting me.
He has long overstepped the prooper boundaries of a subject.
I just can't endure it anymore.
Why are you not speaking?
Your Majesty has raised a tiger to eventually bring oneself trouble.
I feel sorry for you.
That's right. Raising a tiger to bring oneself trouble.
One day, I will eventually get harmed by this tiger. Unless...
Your Highness Prince Kang.
Rong Zhi has lost favor?
Everything is moving according to Pavilion Master's plan.
Rong Zhi won't be able to stay well-off for long.
And Prince Kang will be able to see the daylight soon.

Your Majesty, Rong Zhi, very soon...
we'll see each other very soon.
I've waited for this day for a long time,
a very long time.
Gu Huan!
Chirping fish hawks by the sandbars in the river.
A gentle and refined lady created waves in the heart of a man.
Gu Huan, come out.
I should go back now.
I kept picking grassworts, but I'm unable to fill a small basket all day.
I miss my lover very much, so I just left my basket beside the road.
Gu Huan, if you still don't come out, I won't bother with you again.
A plum tree with abundant verdant leaves, it's flowers blooming in brigt red.
When this woman gets married off, she surely will bring about a harmonious and wonderful household.
For the first line, Huo Xuan, I want to court you.
For the second line, because of yearning, I'm unable to sleep at night.
For the third line, from the poem 'Tao Yao' is a poem about a woman getting married off.
How sure are you that I will accept your proposal?
Didn't you already promise to marry me?
I can take it back.
- You can't! - Why?
Because my heart wants you.
Are you willing to marry me?
I'm willing.
Xuan'er, being able to marry a perfect woman like you in this life
is my greatest blessing.
We must never part for this life and all generations.
No matter how much two people love each other, they will eventually be separated by death.
Who can remember who when they reach the road of the netherworld?
I will remember you.
And then tightly follow you.
We can't sure about that. What if I get reincarnated as a man in my next life?
I surely will get reincarnated as a woman then.
And then chase after you for a lifetime.
Gu Huan, remember what you said.
I will wait for you.
I'm making an oath here today
that even if I get reincarnated, Huo Xuan and I
will stay as husband and wife for eternity.
Gu Huan, thank you
for giving me a home.
Rong Zhi, in this life,
have you ever regretted
lying to anyone?
I never regretted anything that I've done.
Never regretted?
What a good 'never regretted'?
For you, lying has become your second nature.
Just to achieve your goals,
you can casually trample on anyone's heart.
You still dared to come?
Your Highness...I know that you don't want to see me.
But Imperial Consort Hui has called for an audience with me.
Why did she see you?
She wanted me to urge you.
She said...
Said what?
Her Highness said that His Majesty is just angry for a moment.
As long as Your Highness follows what he wants,
His Majesty will consider your uncle-nephew affection and will eventually forgive you.
I've treated you so coldly,
yet you still came here to warn me?
You are a smart and open-minded person.
Why must you completely severe your good relations with His Majesty just for measly matters?
Imperial Consort Hui looks as if she has good intentions in giving you advice,
but she putting me by your side clearly shows that she wanted to monitor you.
I pretend to get along with her all for your sake.
For my sake?
Yes. I got gifted to you by His Majesty.
I'm now yours forever.
No matter if you scold me, drive me away, or hate me, you can't change that fact.
Since that's the case, why won't Your Highness just calmly accept it?
Calmly accept it?
Calmly accept a pawn being placed by my side
or calmly accept all the women that will be arranged by my side.
No matter if it's His Majesty or Imperial Consort Hui,
even all the officials in the court wants me to accept...
accept everything that's nauseating me!
I've seen so many women.
No matter if you're beauty can overturn the whole city, if your pretty like a flower, I don't care!
What I needed is someone sincere.
Your Highness...
While I'm not yet angry,
don't let me see you again.
- Your Highness. - Leave!
Your Highness...
Princess Consort, do your words before still count?
Stop right there.
Imperial Consort Hui has called for me to enter the palace for some chats.
You both are still not moving aside?!
This is her token.
If you two dared to delay me,
be careful of getting beheaded once Her Highness learns about this!
Come out.
- General. - I'm already not your commander.
General, everyone is waiting for you.
His Majesty sent General Peng Ge to take over the army,
but all of us only recognizes you as our commander.
Leave.
General, our brothers have risked their lives and followed you through dangerous battles for so many years.
You're just leaving us like this and abandoning us.
Can you face the brothers that have sacrificed their lives for you?!
If you still don't leave, I can only personally kick you out.
General.
Leave. Immediately leave this place.
Xuan'er.
- Why are you back? - I forgot to bring this.
That person earlier...
Just a soldier asking for directions.
- But I saw that... - Okay already.
Go now. Leave early so you can come back early. Be careful on the road.
Okay. I'll be back soon.
- Who is it? - It's me.
General Shen, what are you doing?
You've left for a whole day. Where did you go?
I went into the palace today to relieve Imperial Consort Hui of boredom.
That's why, I returned late.
Shen Yu, what really do you want?!
Hand me the bag of medicine inside your sleeve.
Bag medicine? What bag of medicine?
Hand me the bag of medicine. Or else, don't blame me for being discourteous.
Permanent Palace Attendant Zhao!
Madam Yue. General Shen.
- What are you two doing? - You should ask her.
Out of nothing, General Shen blocked my path and insisted to search me.
General Shen.
Miss Yueya was a lady gifted by His Majesty.
Act with a sense of propriety, okay?
Give that to me!
And you still say that there's no problem. Why are you getting anxious then?
You better look at it clearly!
That's just a prescription for an eight-treasure soup that I've asked a doctor for because I'm feeling unwell.
If you're not guilty, why didn't you say so earlier?
Eight-treasure soup is used to treat irregular menstrual cycles and those with weak blood. (anemic)
General Shen, how am I supposed to reply to your question then?!
General Shen.
- You... - Shen...
Princess Consort.
Your Majesty.
His Majesty hasn't attended the court for 3 days already.
This has never happened before.
His Majesty has always been diligent.
Even if he was sick, he has never delayed any state discussions.
Also, we came here to ask for an audience, yet he kept refusing to see us.
What kind of logic is this?
This matter is so unusual.
We must see His Majesty today.
What do ministers treat this place as?
You all dare to be noisy here?
Imperial Consort Hui, we want to see His Majesty.
Minister Liu, His Majesty is sick. He needs to recuperate in silence.
We'll go visit him then. Move aside.
Without His Majesty calling for you all, if you will just rashly charge in like that,
that's not called visiting but scaring the emperor.
You are just a imperial consort of the royal harem.
When was it your turn to instruct people here?! Move aside!
I already said that His Majesty's is unwell and needs time to recuperate.
If you all don't believe me, then charge in to check
if I'm saying any lies.
But...
I want to remind everyone
that if you all rashly enter and anger His Majesty,
then you all must bear
the consequences of that.
It has nothing to do with anyone else.
What? Have you all thought about it clearly?
Oh, time was too short.
You all haven't thought about the consequences?
Fine then. Men!
Yes!
No need. Let's go.
Let's go.
He's really willing to see me now?
I dare not make make up things like that.
I know already. You go now.
Yes.
Your Highness, Your Majesty is bedridden with a lingering disease and has no mood to attend the morning court sessions.
All the court officials are discussing about it. Aren't you going to interfere?
Imperial Consort Hui was recommended by you to enter the palace. She's now the top favored imperial consort in the palace.
Her personality suddenly drastically changed. She has earned a lot of criticisms.
Everyone is saying that this is your mistake. You're still not going to interfere?
Prince Kang has died and Huo Xuan has gone missing.
There are undercurrents violently surging up both inside and outside the palace.
If this continues, things will become uncontrollable!
Your Highness, just because Princess Consort isn't giving you any attention, you're not in the mood to handle official matters.
You are not even putting any importance to major start affairs now.
She's just a woman. Is she really that important to you?!
Important to the point that you're willing to give up your dream for so long?!
Important to the point that you're not caring about the sufferings of the citizens?!
Get out.
You've changed. You're not anymore that Prince Regent who has the world in his heart.
You are just now a mediocre person who's absorbed in romantic follies and unable to clearly see the major state problems.
Leave!
You think Princess Consort really wants to patch things up with you?
I fear that you're being happy too soon.
You're here.
Why did you suddenly change your attitude towards me tonight?
Letting the situation between us be in deadlock is meaningless.
I've come around.
Huo Xuan has left.
There isn't any more hindrance between us. It's good that you've come around.
The problem between us
has never been just Huo Xuan.
What is it then?
Because your world is too complicated,
I have no way to integrate into it.
Chuyu, you kept saying words that confuses me lately.
What have I really done wrong? Can you just be frank with me?
Before, I hated people who are unable to be straightforward the most.
I believed that as long as you say the words, all problems can be resolved.
But now I realized that sometimes not saying them
is because things have become complicated that you don't know from where to start.
Or maybe, you'll end up in a more laughable state.
