Untouchable Lovers
Episode 21
Thank you for your kind considerations.
Thank you for always thinking of me.
- Your Lady Majesty— - Empress Dowager.
Look.
You really have put a lot of work in it.
Please drink it.
It's not me! It's not me!
Of course, it's you.
Before this incident, the fragrance pouch was with you.
That's why, the scent you have surely is stronger than mine.
Impossible. This palace maid is 8th Little Brother's personal maid.
That's why, this 8th Prince isn't as weak as everyone thinks.
You already know to scheme on people at such young age.
He is just sensitive with scents, but it won't kill him.
Or else, he would have been the first one poisoned and dead from the poinsettia that this palace maid is carrying with her.
8th Prince, are you still not going to admit your mistake until now?
Royal Brother...I was wrong.
I shouldn't have done it because of a moment of anger.
I shouldn't have framed Princess Consort just because she bullied Xiangming.
8th Little Brother, you...
It was me who ordered her to put poinsettia inside the fragrance pouch.
I also have no evil intentions. I just saw how arrogant Prince Regent's Consort was
and wanted to teach her a lesson.
Never thought that things ended up like this.
The order of the grudges doesn't seem to be right.
8th Prince, it was just out of impulse that I wanted to teach Xiangming a lesson that time.
and then she subsequently placed the fragrance pouch in me at that time.
Could it be that you two have prepared for this beforehand?
See who will annoy you and then devise a scheme to scare her?
Or simply put, you were deliberately waiting for me at the garden with the fragrance pouch.
If you're not that smart, then don't go out harming people.
If this gets out, it will destroy the reputation of the imperial family of Wei.
Your Majesty, although the imperial palace is huge,
there are only limited areas with poinsettia in them.
Although 8th Prince is young, he has quite a devious heart.
He claimed that it was because he was angry at Prince Regent's Consort for bullying her palace maid.
I think we can't really trust those words.
Of course, they were not true.
You two were clearly insulting me and knew that I will get mad.
Find an opening when we are entangled with each other to slip the fragrance pouch into my dress.
Say it. What really is this about?
Say it!
Royal Brother...
I admit my mistake...
Forgive me already.
Little Brother, are you stupid?
You and Prince Regent's Consort have no grudges between you.
How could you scheme and frame her?
Could you have just been venting out anger in behalf of those innocent Wei souls?
Right! It was indeed like that!
Royal Brother, it was because I can't take how those Liu Song people
were arrogant, domineering, and have killed innocent Wei Citizens.
I just wanted to teach a lesson...teach Prince Regent's Consort a lesson.
You're lying! He Shan doesn't know how to drink at all!
The more he couldn't have killed anyone because of getting drunk!
Prince Regent's Consort, why would you say so?
Your Majesty, He Shan has psoriasis. He has long abstained from drinking wine.
It's just that no one in Song knew about this. If he drinks any wine,
his body will surely have ulcers all over within 3 months.
But until today, he's been in prison for almost 10 days.
He never showed any symptoms at all.
Doesn't that prove that he never drank any alcohol for the past 3 months?
How then can there be a murder after getting drunk incident?
Princess Consort Regent, this matter is of grave importance.
You must prove to His Majesty if what you're saying is true or not.
Your Majesty, I already ordered someone to check the corpse. He indeed has an illness.
It's just that he was able to control it well. Until the time of his death, he didn't show any symptoms of his illness.
But the Wei citizens then all said that he was running wild because of being drunk.
How could a person who hasn't drank any alcohol kill because he's drunk?
Totally absurd!
Your Majesty, I am pretty sure
that He Shan must have been controlled by someone that night and was forced to do such things.
For the past days, there is marked unrest in Pingcheng.
First, it was He Shan killing because of getting drunk. Next, it was the Princess Consort Regent getting falsely accused.
There must be someone scheming behind all these.
I believe that 8th Prince just had a moment of righteous indignation,
but got instigated by someone, leading him to make such a big mistake.
The mastermind that planned the incident of He Shan killing randomly after getting drunk
just want to see His Majesty to be like the 8th Prince,
having righteous indignation fill your chest and losing one's rationality.
His only motive was to drive a wedge between the already repaired relationship between Wei and Liu Song,
and when the time came, seize the benefit.
That's why, I ask Your Majesty to take back your decree
and don't fall into their evil trap.
Your Majesty, I think that what Prince Regent said is very correct.
Based on the current situation,
there must be someone dispatching people to cause disharmony.
He's trying hard to sow dissension in the relationship between Wei and Song.
I earnestly ask Your Majesty to take back your decree.
May Your Majesty take back your decree.
Since it is the request of the majority,
I'll agree with it then.
That's all?
Princess Consort Regent, what else do you want?
Your Majesty, what about them? Are you not going to punish them?
Chuyu, you must know to stop before going too far.
The one who should stop are them.
Your Majesty, if a person isn't punished for committing a mistake, he'll then make more mistakes.
I am forcing you to punish them
because I'm trying to save their life.
Okay. The palace maid will be punished according the palace laws. As for 8th Little Brother...
Your Majesty, with you being so wise,
you surely know about a ruler should be punished similarly as that of the citizen, right?
Your Majesty, 8th Prince is still small. We can slowly teach him.
Being friend and neighbors, the closer you are, the easier it is to bear grudges.
Sibling relationship is similar with that between father and son, the one less loved will show more faults.
With 8th Prince committing such a grave mistake, he indeed should be taught a lesson.
Royal Brother! Royal Brother!
Royal Brother, I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me!
8th Prince tried to frame Princess Consort Regent. His prince title is being removed.
He must leave palace today and sent to the temple.
Let the monks there teach him well. If he continued to be this insensible, don't bother coming back then.
Royal Brother, don't kick me out of the palace! Royal Brother, I'm not leaving!
Men!
Royal Brother, I'm not leaving!
Royal Brother! I'm not leaving!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty!
All of you can leave now!
Is your inspiring awe by upholding justice really for the sake of the 8th Prince?
If I let people who offend me get spared so easily, I won't be able able to sleep well at night.
Rong Zhi, you look nice when you smile.
You think Your Majesty will really believe your words?
Won't he?
His Majesty became emperor at a young age not only because it was the mandate of heaven.
Even if what you said is reasonable, He Shan is now dead, so he can't defend himself.
There is no way to reverse his case.
Why then did he take back the expel order?
If He Shan was really set up, then the real target isn't only Liu Song.
8th Prince committed a grave mistake at such young age.
To say that no one set this up, who will believe that?
His Majesty can all see the nonstop conflicts both at the front court and in the back inner palace.
He's just enduring them and not saying anything.
He's the emperor of Wei. Why must he endure it?
The heart of an emperor is not something that you can just casually infer on.
In any case, they want to use the child as being stubborn and mischievous.
No matter what, the expel decree has been repealed. I'm really quite happy.
The other party spent quite an effort to set up a net.
Unless they catch the big fish, they will not pull up the net.
We've been here for so many days, but there are still no news about the military supplies. If we continue wasting time like this,
the military camp will get in disarray.
Officers.
You should already be paying for the tax days ago, right?
It's not that I don't want to give. I've already paid for the taxes for summer and autumn.
Now that you're adding taxes again, I can't afford it anymore.
Can't afford?! Go in and search!
- Don't! Mr. Officer, don't! - Beat him up!
- Officers, have mercy! - You're not paying tax, is that it?!
- No, I...
General, while investigating about the military provisions,
at the same time, I went to investigate a place that is located on the Jingzhou border.
Pingcheng basically finds that the whip will not reach, (T/N too far away to help)
that the Jingzhou provincial governor is simply the local tyrant.
Since 5 years ago, he has privately added the taxes.
Other than the required taxes set by the government,
Jingzhou now also have some business tax, tea tax, wine tax,
every kind of item, with no regard for the number.
The citizens are really suffering from it.
Looks like I asked too little last time.
His family assets seems to be very large.
Not only that.
What else?
- What are you looking at?! Pay your taxes! - Please spare me...
- I have no money. - No money? Then come back to the office with us!
He's my child. Can I take him with me?
If I leave him behind, he'll die from starvation.
What do you treat the Provincial Governor Office as?
Letting you become a slave is already thinking highly of you. You better learn to appreciate it.
Your son is still so small. What can he do there?
Wasting the food. Take her away!
- I beg you all! Just take my son away with us! - Hurry up!
- If we leave him behind like this, he'll die from starvation! - Stop dilly-dallying!
- General, there are so many exorbitant taxes and levies in Jingzhou. - Hurry up!
It's impossible for an ordinary citizen to pay them.
Either they run away, you become farmers,
or sell themselves as slave. If you want to save them, you won't be able to save them all.
Tell that old coward that I'm taking my army into the city
and do a major search. Immediately spread my order!
General!
What is it, General?
Pavilion Master, Huo Xuan just kept on carving (very persistent). She's going turn the whole Jingzhou upside down already.
If this continues, the military provisions can't be hidden any longer.
Huo Xuan already submitted her memorial?
There are no movements in the court. That is really strange.
Huo Xuan clearly knew that men from Liu Song were the ones who stole the military provisions.
Why then is she not calling for war?!
Because she doesn't believe that the people who stole the military provisions are Liu Song people.
What should we do now then?
There is one place that is the safest.
What is going on? How come there are so many soldiers?
- I heard that a huge amount of military provisions that were lost. They are now searching for it. - Military provisions?
That's right. See that? That's the most able Deputy Commander of Feifeng General.
Really?
Turn Jingzhou upside down. Don't miss any corner.
Yes!
You are so bold! How dare you take your army into my city?!
If Provincial Governor has any problem with it, just directly talk with General Huo about it.
Huo Xuan led his army inside the city without permission. Is she trying to revolt?
Continue searching!
Okay! I'll take care of you all when I return!
Huo Xuan, have you eaten some bear heart or leopard gallbladder?! (being too bold)
You actually dared to lead your army into Jingzhou?
I surely will file a complaint against you in front of His Majesty!
Can you change your lines?
You...
Provincial Governor Liu, not only am I leading my army inside your city to search,
I will also be searching this Provincial Governor Manor of yours.
What really do you want to do?
Provincial Governor Liu, don't worry. I'm just going to borrow your manor to live in for a few days.
Once I find the lost military provisions, I will leave.
What if you're unable to find it?
You better beg the deities that I find the military provisions.
Or else, those 200,000 will set up camp in Jingzhou
until we completely exhaust your funds.
Let me tell you that our Jingzhou also has city guards.
Those 2,000 men of yours are not yet enough to fill my tooth cavities.
General, Deputy Commander Wang is back.
How was it?
I've turned Jingzhou upside down but just can't find the military provisions.
You've searched every inch?
Commercial tenants, pubs, tea houses, even gambling areas and brothels,
Anyway, we've searched all possible places where it can be hidden.
If such a huge amount of military provisions
is really being hidden here in Jingzhou, how can there be no news at all?
I already told you that the people who stole them were Liu Song men.
If I am you, you should hurry and write a memorial
asking Prince Regent to make that Liu Song princess pay.
It's way stronger than you wasting your time here.
Provincial Governor seems very sure that the military provisions are not inside the city.
You have even searched my manor too,
where could it still be hiding?
From where is the bell sound coming from?
The morning bell, it is of course coming from the Zhongqing Temple in the city outskirts.
Wang Ze, let's go.
General, where are we going?
Zhongqing Temple.
Yes.
Sir, are we really letting them go just like that?
What do you treat Zhongqing Temple as?
You think that it's a place that you can just search because you want to?
Pavilion Master, will it really be safe to hide the military provisions there? What if...
People all say that Feifeng General is a very bold person.
I really want to see
how brave she really is.
[Zhongqing Temple]
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
Why are you here?
Military provisions.
Lady is asking for military provisions? How can a temple has one?
Old abbot, stop playing games with me.
I've searched the whole Jingzhou. The only one left is your Zhongqing Temple.
There are no military provisions here. May general
not taint a clean and quiet Buddhist place with your blood stained weapons.
If there is or not, we will have to wait after I searched your temple.
General, please read the tablet inscription.
The table inscription of Zhongqing Temple was written by the former emperor himself.
We even have the ashes of Buddha here.
Even if His Majesty comes here, he has to get off his horse and bow.
How then can just a third rank general like you dare to trespass?
I've killed so many people in my life and my hands are filled with blood. Since I am standing here,
I will then not leave without fulfilling my task. The personal writing of the former emperor, right?
Even if the former emperor suddenly appear here, he can't stop me.
- Wang Ze. - Here.
Search.
Huo Xuan, you're being unruly!
- Search! - Yes!
General Huo, stop wasting energy.
You will never find anything.
May I know what abbot's Buddhist name is?
Tianci ('given by heaven'). As they say, all living things were given by the heaven.
A heart as bright as the sky. A heart as clean as the sky.
Could abbot's heart really have no worries at all?
Since I don't have the secular world in my heart, I then naturally will not worry about anything.
Abbot, there is a big hole in your clothing.
Where?
And you say that you don't get worried about anything.
You...muddled person! You dared to be disrespectful to abbot?!
What never having any worries?
Abbot, although you entered the Buddhism world, you still have worries in your heart.
General.
What I found out are...
That's all of it.
General Huo, I already said
that the military provisions you're looking for is not inside the temple. Please leave.
Is it really not in here?
We already said that it's not in here!
Since it's not in here, why are your hands trembling in anxiety?
Since abbot refuses to hand over the military provisions, I can only offend you.
What are you going to do?!
Men, drive all the monks out of the main hall!
You...
Yes.
General, could the military provisions not really be in here?
No. I have an intuition that they are hiding something from me.
But we can't really burn the whole temple.
This temple is holding some precious national treasures and is under the protection of the former emperor.
What if His Majesty learns about this? We're going to be really dead.
General, you must not be muddle.
Leave.
General...
Hou Xuan, Zhongqing Temple has been a pure place since being established for hundreds of years.
The tablet inscription that was personally written by the former emperor is the symbol of the might of the imperial power.
You searching the temple without permission is already very disrespectful to him!
Now, you even are planning to burn the temple?!
Are you really not afraid that the emperor will be furious?!
I'll count to 3. If you still won't be honest and tell me the truth, I'll really do it.
You...
There are deities above us. You dare to burn the temple?!
You surely will anger the Buddha and invite the heaven's punishment!
Heaven's punishment?
Doing an evil act like this that will incite public wrath
will surely give you a bad name for millennium!
Huo Xuan, Buddha will bring disaster on you! Send you down to the Avichi level of hell!
Wrong! It's in the mountain of blades or within boiling oil! Get cut into pieces!
Fire torch!
General, you must not burn it.
If you do this, even Prince Regent won't be able to protect you.
General.
General, you really must not burn it.
My actions today
are all for the soldiers in the front line and no personal interest at all.
If Buddha will really punish me for this, then may he punish me only.
Either it is climbing the blade mountain or tree of sword, or fall into a fiery pit or boiling soup,
I will never say no to them.
1.
2!
3!
- Don't burn it! - Shut up!
Master, I can't let Zhongqing Temple get destroyed in our hands.
General Huo, I'll take you to see them.
- Come, eat some. - Thanks.
General Huo, these food has nothing to do with you.
Today is a drought year.
Although Zhongqing Temple has nonstop supplies, it's only enough to provide for the monks.
How can you have additional food?
There is an irrigation canal near our temple. The officials and rich merchants in the city are extremely extravagant.
They usually throw away the excess food there.
I then ask my disciples to gather these wasted food, clean,
boil, and then dry them. We've stocked them up for so many years before we got to have these extra food.
Oh? Is it like that?
Yes.
If this was old rice, its color should be darker
and it has an old rice taste.
The rice bran is also silk like.
But look at this rice grain, its light can clearly pass through it and it even has a bit of fresh smell.
If you pinch it, there are not rice bran sticking on your hand.
Just one look and you'll know it's a rice that was just harvested this year.
Monks do not lie.
Do you also want to go to Avichi with me?
I'll take you to find it. It's just in the cave at the back mountain.
You...
- Hurry and take me there. - Yes.
Open it.
Deputy Commander Wang, it's the military provision!
[Property of the Huo Army]
General, we found them all.
Abbot, tell me now.
Where did these military provision come from?
They were given by an anonymous donor.
I really don't know who he is.
They just left the military provisions and then hurriedly left.
You clearly knew that I was searching the whole city for it, yet you pretended to not know.
What punishment do you think you should be given?
Since the matter has come to this, I'll let you punish me however you want.
In consideration for the past emperor, I'll spare your life.
Take all of the chests away.
- Take them all away! - Yes.
Mom, I'm hungry.
Master.
Mom, I'm hungry.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Congratulations General Huo for finally having your wish fulfilled.
Being able to get back the lost military provisions this time is all thanks to your cooperation too.
Since that's the case, won't General hurry and leave?
Provincial Governor Li, look at how dark and strong the wind is. It's quite dangerous to leave the city at this time.
I've decided to stay in your manor for one more night. Provincial Governor will surely welcome me, right?
Men!
Here.
Escort General Huo to rest.
Bring the chests inside.
Huo Xuan doesn't fear the deities nor the imperial might.
She indeed is hard to deal with. Fine then.
And this woman is cold and heartless.
Seeing how those citizens are going to starve to death,
she still wouldn't leave the military provisions behind.
What's the use of saying these now? I agreed to work with you to deal against her.
Didn't you say that Huo Xuan will surely not dare to trespass into Zhongqing Temple?
Now, she actually brought all the military provisions back.
You initially promised me that once Huo Xuan leaves,
you'll gift these military provisions to me.
She indeed has taken away the military provisions.
But she won't be able to take them back with her.
What do you mean? You're saying...
No. You can't kill her.
Provincial Governor Liu, Huo Xuan was killed by a Liu Song assassin.
What does that got to do with you?
What about the soldiers she brought with her?
Soldiers cannot enter the Provincial Governor Manor. They can only set camp outside the city.
Provincial Governor, you are the highest official of JIngzhou.
As long as you kill Huo Xuan,
report it, and Tuoba Hong is able to get the imperial decree, do you still fear that those soldiers won't listen to you?
By tomorrow morning, the military provisions can return to their rightful owner.
The opportunity can't be lost and it might not come again.
Provincial Governor Liu, you better decide soon.
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
Hurry! Hurry and open the boxes!
Sir, it's all empty.
All of you, move aside!
How come it's like this?
Provincial Governor Liu,
I came to take the military provisions away.
Hou Xuan? Aren't you...
Earlier, there were quite a few men who disturbed my sleep.
They are all currently lying down in my room. Provincial Governor, you want to see them?
Provincial Governor, where are my military provisions?
What military provisions? There are no money or foor. All the chests are empty!
Preposterous!
I clearly gotten back the military provisions. The whole Jingzhou saw it.
All the chests were carried into your manor.
Now that the military provisions just disappeared like that,
it was clearly embezzled by you!
What a bloody lie!
- Arrest her! - Men!
What's going on?
Provincial Governor Liu, I urge you to behave.
The whole Provincial Governor Office has been surrounded.
How is that possible?
There are indeed just 100 soldiers inside the city.
But when you were attempting to assassinate General tonight,
they already colluded with the soldiers outside and opened the city gates
and controlled your city guards. Arrest them all!
Kneel! Kneel!
Kneel!
Hou Xuan...you are full of lies...
These were clearly just empty chests.
There were never any military provisions. Frame up.
You're framing me up!
Yes. This is indeed a frame up.
Abbot, I know that there were numerous citizens who were forced out of their homes, suffering from hunger and cold.
If I take the military provisions away, they only will be left to die.
That's why, I can agree to leave the military provisions behind.
General.
The enemy meticulously planned these to frame Liu Song. Their motive isn't that simple.
He making such a grand move like this of donating all the military provisions to Zhongqing Temple is because
one, he thought that I wouldn't dare disturb the tranquility of a temple
and destroy the tablet inscription personally gifted by the past emperor.
Second, he has guessed that if I found the military provisions,
I wouldn't dare to watch the citizens starve to death.
It is exactly like that, hence, we cannot let them get their way.
No. His guess was right.
I indeed won't bear to.
I've roamed the battlefield and have killed people like cutting off hemp.
It's not a problem with me to fall into the 18th level of Hell when I die.
But I will never harm a citizen who can't even defend himself.
The more I will not just watch while they starve to death.
But, I will also not go down the mountain empty-handed.
What really are you planning to do?
Later, I will leave with the boxes.
Abbot must fiercely scold your monks.
Say that the military provisions were taken by me. Scold them as fiercely as possible.
Wait for my signal before you continue giving out food.
- You are... - No.
General, what really are you trying to do?
I'm getting confused.
I'll let Rong Zhi see that his horse dung in exchange for military provision strategy is nothing.
I can steal from a white wolf using nothing.
- Wang Ze. - I'm here.
Confiscate all the valuables of the Provincial Governor. If anyone will dare to disobey,
kill them.
Yes. Search!
My gold...
My precious... My god!
The most sinister heart in this world is that of a woman.
You have already swindled a huge amount of money from me before.
Now, you used empty boxes to trick me?
Huo Xuan,
you will die a tragic death!
Provincial Governor Liu, under your leadership, Jingzhou has so many exorbitant taxes and levies.
The citizens are suffering hardships and left with nowhere to go.
While your Provincial Governor Manor is shining with gold.
I really regret taking too little from you last time, allowing you to have more days to be jumping around.
But now, you don't have the chance anymore. Stealing military provisions is a crime punishable by death.
No!
I didn't steal the military provisons...
I didn't!
You didn't?
- Wang Ze! - General.
Just with the money we got form his manor, it's enough to last us for 2 months.
Provincial Governor Liu, your wealth can really compete with the state.
If you didn't steal my military provisions, how then were you able to have so many valuables?
Did they fall from the sky? You better answer me properly.
I don't have the patience.
Stealing military provisions is a crime punishable by death.
Corruption of large amount of money is also punishable by death.
Either way, you'll die, so stop struggling so hard.
Hou Xuan, you're crafty like a fox, sinister like a wolf.
Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!
Shut up!
Provincial Governor, so many citizens had their family ruined and forced to leave their homes
because of your greed.
Even if I spare you, they will not.
In this travel to Pingcheng, you must take good care of yourself.
When you reach the afterlife road, don't forget to repent on the sins you've done.
- Take him away. - Take him away!
Move! Hurry up!
Investigate who his accomplices are. Don't miss anyone out.
Yes.
- The military provisions have been found? - You still don't know?
Yesterday, General Huo brought the found military provisions in the manor of Provincial Governor Liu to stay there for the night.
Who would have thought that Provincial Governor would develop greedy intentions
and tried to assassinate General Huo, so he can have the military provisions.
It's really a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
He actually dared to target the military provisions?!
Isn't that right? Who is General Huo?
He think he can get away with it?! See, he got kicked back (like a horse).
He deserved it. In dealing with corrupt officials like that, he should be cut into pieces. His death is not lamentable at all.
Kill him! Kill him! Kill that corrupt official!
You asshole official! Get out of Jingzhou!
Kill him! Kill him!
Thank you, General Huo! You have given the JIngzhou citizens justice!
General, you eliminated an oppressor here in Jingzhou. The citizens are very grateful to you.
I just hope that the next Provincial Governor can treat these citizens better.
- Don't let them suffer again. - Yes.
Let's go.
Really great, Huo Xuan...
Empress Dowager.
Who angered you again? Why is your face so stern?
I already knew about the incident in the garden.
That time, Imperial Consort Dowager Qi was here. It wasn't convenient for me to tell her about it.
When Empress Dowager knew about it, it was too late.
She wasn't able to rush there to help.
8th Prince had a moment of confusion and committed a minor mistake.
The matter has been satisfactorily resolved. Empress Dowager need not put it into heart.
When 8th Prince was just born, his royal mother has died.
Imperial Consort Dowager Qi raised him for 3 years.
He has always been close to Prince Kang.
8th Prince is just an 8-year old child.
How could he know about court justice?
The more, he would never know to use such a vile scheme to harm your princess consort.
A little child that still insensible got used just like that.
He is also pitiful.
8th Prince indeed isn't rational yet. He easily gets swayed.
His Majesty sending him to the temple to learn principles and reasons is also a way to protect him.
That's good too.
But regarding Prince Kang...
Prince Kang took advantage of the brewing conflict between Wei and Liu Song for his own interest.
But Empress Dowager, don't worry. I have my plans.
[Prince Regent Manor]
Concubine Ma, you must take good care of your health.
Follow the prescription I gave you and take your medicine timely.
Also, regarding that matter I told you earlier.
I already know.
This must not be dragged any longer. Dragging it will not be beneficial to your health.
I said that I already know. Stop nagging.
Doctor Wang, this way please.
I'll take my leave then.
I've been treating Concubine Ma for more than 10 years.
I know about here condition the most.
Her health is really very weak. It's not suitable for her to—
Enough. Concubine Ma has her own decision on this matter. No need for you to worry.
If any rumors spread outside, be careful of your life.
Don't worry. I know the graveness of this matter.
I'll walk you out first.
Princess Consort, are you drawing a a 'yuanshan' brow?
Of course. it's black like the mountains far away.
Don't they all look like this?
Stop fooling me. That is clearly a 'broom' brow.
Look at what you've drawn! Stop making me look like a fool!
What the hell! Do you know how to draw it or not?!
Let me help you repair it.
No need for you to repair it! Get lost! No need!
- I just knew you're going to bully me! - I'm not done drawing. - Stop it already.
Come over here.
- Let me see. - Are you alright, Qingyue?
Your face is already red.
- You got hit? - My face...
It's fine. It's fine. Qingyue, do you know that
you now has Wei's most famous 'xiaoxia' (dawn rosy clouds) make-up look.
- Right? - Liar. - Yes... From now on, you don't even need to buy a blush.
Next time, if you want that kind of style, just find a person to bump your face into. So easy.
- You're a bully! - Qingyue...
Greetings, Your Highness.
It looks quite good.
Your Highness.
Prince Regent is usually busy with state affairs all day. How come you have the time to come visit me today?
Princess Consort.
I will sleep here tonight. Please make preparations.
Oh, my!
Is it Your Highness?
Is Your Highness not yet back? I'll go to the front door to welcome him.
Mistress, no need. His Highness has returned.
He has returned? Is he in the study?
Go and put the dishes inside a dinner pail. I'll bring them to him.
He has been busy all day. He must be tired.
Mistress.
His Highness, he...won't come over tonight.
You...what do you mean?
His Highness is staying over in Moon Phoenix Room tonight.
Let go! I'm going back now to look for Princess.
Come back here. This is the best chance for Princess Consort and Prince to reconcile. Don't be stupid.
Princess Consort doesn't want to!
What not want to? They are a married couple.
How could they have not consummated their marriage until now?
If this gets out, Princess Consort's position will be in peril.
Let's go.
Let's just finish the battle fast. I'll just treat it as being bitten by a dog.
Look at your 'I'm a chaste and honorable lady' look.
You think I give a damn about you?
He really has fallen asleep?
