Episode 46
Your Highness, I said it many times,
the ground is cold. Hurry and get up.
Your Highness, I cooked this for a long time. Have a taste, okay?
- Your Highness! - Crazy man! What disturbance is this now?!
No. It was me who carelessly broke the bowl. It wasn't his fault.
You crazy man. You kept causing us trouble. You want to die,
is that it?
He is still Prince Kang. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you for treating him like this?!
That's right. He was indeed a member of the royal family and nobility class before.
But now, he is just a prisoner who tried to usurp the throne.
Don't even talk about making a comeback, but just being able to preserve his life is already thanks to His Majesty great grace.
No matter how His Majesty punish Prince Kang,
he is still his biological brother. You don't have the right to run him down.
Stop!
Why did you block me? This hateful girl dared to talk to me like that.
I should teach her a lesson!
If you don't want to respect the monk, you should at least respect Buddha. She is still Prince Regent's subordinate.
Let's go. Don't cause trouble.
Your Highness, are you alright?
Your Highness...
Your Highness, it's fine now.
It's fine now.
It's fine. I'm here.
Let me see if you're hurt.
Let me see.
The Emperor is here!
Your Majesty.
What's going on here?
I saw that the palace is too quiet, like some snow cave,
so I asked people to decorate it a little to liven up the atmosphere.
I advocate Buddhism, yet I neglected that you're a girl that loves liveliness.
Your Majesty, it was me who was meddlesome.
You did this just to make me happy.
It's just that too many things have happened in the palace this year.
First, it was Prince Kang. Then, Imperial Consort Dowager Qi.
Now, it is Empress Dowager.
You all leave first.
Yes.
Your Majesty,
are you regretting it?
Let me tell you a secret.
I mentioned to you before that I have a playmate before
that accidentally fell into the water and died. Do you remember?
I remember.
She didn't accidentally fall.
She got pushed and drowned.
And that person is me.
Your Majesty...
That time, I still am not the emperor.
I was just a prince.
News about me got leaked and I naturally suspected her.
Hence, I must not leave such a trouble alive.
But afterwards, I learned
that she entered the study because of a moment of mischievousness. The person who leaked the news was another person.
But I dare not regret it.
There was no one born to be an emperor.
If you want to be the final victor is this game of chess,
your heart must not go soft.
Hongxiu, you must not blame me for being ruthless
because I grew up like this.
Walking all the way in a lonely manner
through the road to the imperial throne that was paved using fresh blood.
In the end, becoming a strong person without any weakness.
But this road is too long,
too lonely. I also need someone to be with me.
Hongxiu, are you willing to accompany me?
I am willing.
Hongxiu...
Hongxiu,
you're the only one left by my side.
Don't leave me, okay?
Your Majesty's trust...
I...will use a lifetime to repay it.
Princess, you're in a bad mood?
Let me give you message and you'll feel better.
Qingyue, I really am not in the mood.
How about this?
You go play by yourself for a while and let me be alone here.
Princess, but you will then be alone...
Go now.
- Call me if you need anything then. - Yes.
I can appear anytime.
Okay.
Qingyue.
Let me take you to have fun.
Go where?
You'll know once we're there.
Buddhist Temple
Why did you bring me here?
Since you came to Wei, you have always been staying inside the manor.
It must be boring, right?
Today is the rare Buddhist gathering day. Everyone have traveled far to come here
to see the elegant bearing of the Great Master.
Let's go.
Really...
He traveled far...
This person is...
He is a high monk from Liu Song. He has been traveling around Wei for a long time.
He only reached Pingcheng today.
If you want to see him, I'll help get you the chance later.
Chuyu, sorry.
I can't let you return to your home country.
But I can let you see the people from it,
listen to Jiankang's sound, okay?
Rong Zhi...
Chuyu, I'll help you have an audience with Great Master Jiran, is that okay?
But Rong Zhi, I suddenly want to eat the candied dumplings in the northern street.
Can you buy one for me?
- Okay. Wait for me here. - Okay.
May I ask Abbot Jiran where Buddha is?
He's everywhere.
Then it means that you've seen him?
I haven't seen him all my life.
Since you never saw him, you still dared talk about him here?
I am here because Buddha arranged for it to happen.
You questioning me now is also his arrangement.
The difficulties that the citizens have experienced are also his arrangements.
If you want to ask me where he is,
he is by your side. Giving you tests and guidance.
Letting you be enlightened and being able to get through.
Your face is cynical.
What you are lost about is not where Buddha is,
but what is it that you really want?
When the citizens fall into disasters, with corpses strewing the field,
where is your Buddha during those times?
He is enjoying the incense of thousands of people. Why then is he not coming down to save them?
Amitufuo.
Buddha is examining the mortal world.
Assessing every dead people
if they deserve to go to the pure land in the west (heaven) or to Avici (lowest level of hell).
I surrender...General.
General, what's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
General, you clearly won the competition,
but I couldn't see any happiness in your face these past days. Why is that so?
For me, a competition is a competition.
I would just do my best to go through it. I was confident that I won't lost to Liu Chuyu.
That was also what happened.
No. It wasn't like that.
General, what's wrong with you?
I won the competition, but I lost Rong Zhi.
I don't understand.
Love is not a competition nor a battlefield.
Who is the person that he really loves and cares about
was already obvious as a mirror reflection during the last round.
You won the competition.
Liu Chuyu then must leave Pingcheng. You're the real Prince Regent's Wife.
A victory gotten like that is no different with seizing by force.
Mantou... Come take a look.
You followed me?
If I say that I coincidentally just walked to here, will you believe it?
Okay.
Master, why not buy the person you love a flower?
Sure. I'll take the whole basket then.
Here. Hold the money well.
Lady, this is for you.
Let's go!
Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Look. This flower still ended up being given to you.
Gu Huan, I don't like you.
But Huo Xuan, I like you.
Come, take a look.
Stop doing unnecessary things.
Come, look!
Tian Rujing!
You are the Imperial Astrologer of Song. Suddenly appearing in Pingcheng, don't you want your life anymore?!
I openly appeared here because I have a question to ask.
Princess, did you fall in love with Rong Zhi?
Fell in love with that person who has been lying and hurting you?
What do you mean?
I initially planned to take you back home, but you won't leave.
I can only use my own means to solve the problem. Maybe what fate says is right.
Perhaps quiet persuasion will elicit the correct response.
If the greedy wolf meets the seven death, the flames of war will be ignited.
What the hell are you talking about?
Didn't I come to Wei for the peace between Song and Wei?
Royal Uncle even asked me to do everything to stop the war between Song and Wei from happening.
But why do you keep saying that this is an evil plot?
Did he have an ulterior motive for letting me come to PIngcheng?
Princess, if letting you know the truth will make you in great pain,
are you still willing to know everything?
Truth?! What truth?!
His Highness is just inside. Immediately go to see him.
I'll be at the back door to wait for you. You must be fast.
Qi Heng? It's you?
Madam Le, how come it's you?
So, you have bribed the Longlin Army.
I came to save Prince Kang. Tell me, where is he?
How can I believe you?
Take me to him.
Come with me.
Your Highness.
How come he became like this?
Since His Highness saw the corpse of Imperial Consort Dowager Qi, he has become crazy.
But it is exactly because he's crazy
that he's able to live until now.
For His Highness to end up like this, you also are to blame!
Your Highness,
thank you for the goodness you showed me.
I will forever place it in my heart,
and never forget it.
Stop pretending!
You are a spy sent by the Prince Regent!
My father owed a large gambling debt. The creditor cut off both of my father's legs,
and wanted to sell me off as a slave or maid servant.
It was Prince Regent who saved me.
My father's leg stumps putified, and grew full of maggots. It was Prince Regent who ordered someone to treat them.
Although I'm just a clothes-washing servant,
I do this now to repay debts of kindness.
You know how to repay the kindness given to you by the Prince Regent.
What about the kindness given to you by Prince Kang?
Will you be able to repay it!
I'm done paying the favor I owed the Prince Regent.
Staying behind in Prince Kang Manor is to repay the affection given to me by Prince Kang.
Too bad, my status is lowly. I can only do so little.
What Prince Kang needs the most now is not me,
but freedom and power.
You should have died long ago!
Don't you want to go out anymore?
What do you mean?
The Imperial Personal Bodyguards will be here soon. Once they notice that His Highness has escaped,
will they still let you two off?
In the contrary, if I help you,
His Highness can then successfully escape.
How are you going to help me?
A woman may look weak, but you mustn't easily believe her.
Did the previous lesson hasn't woken you up yet?
What is this...?!
It's nothing really. I was just afraid that someone will harm His Highness,
so I prepared some sedatives beforehand.
It's just that I never expected that it will be you who will come tonight.
Lord Qi, you have always not liked me. It was right for you to be like that
for I'm very different with the noble ladies that you've seen.
I grew up among dirty mud and my heart is as dark as them.
I have only remembered two things.
One is if a person treats me well, I also will be good to them.
Second is if a person bears enmity against me,
I will also return it back several fold.
Now...is the time you repay your karma.
Your Majesty, hurry and change into these clothes and escape through the backdoor.
Hurry!
I know that Prince Kang will never go crazy.
You've endured it for so long.
How could you just go crazy for a little setback?
But I can't say that.
Because this is the only method that can preserve your life.
Your Highness, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if you escape, His Majesty will not spare you.
That's why...I can only kill Qi Heng
and let him replace you.
Are you really going to help me?
Quickly leave.
Leave!

Your Highness...
Take care.
- Your Highness, let's quickly leave. - Your Highness Prince Kang.
Your Highness Prince Kang, we've been waiting for a long time. Let's quickly go.
- Your Highness, something bad has happened. - What is it?
A fire happened in Prince Kang Manor. Prince Kang is dead.
Immediately look for Chuyu. Take her back to the manor once you have found her.
Yes.
Prince Kang's Manor
Your Highness, are we reporting this to His Majesty?
Yes.
Wait. I'll personally ask for punishment from His Majesty.
Yes.
Your Majesty, Prince Regent is here.
- Your Majesty. - It's good that you're here. I entrusted Prince Kang to your care.
How come his manor got burned?!
It was a neglect in my duty.
I'm asking you for the reason.
What reason?
I'm asking you a question, yet your thoughts are wandering.
Don't think that I don't know
that when Prince Kang Manor was burning,
you were busy amusing a woman.
You dare look at me like that?
You clearly are not showing any bit of repentance!
You are the prince regent of Wei.
My most trusted uncle that I heavily rely on!
But for a woman, you dare to forget all of that?!
You completely disappointed my trust in you!
I admit my mistake. May Your Majesty punish me.
Prince Kang is also of royal bloodline.
He has the noblest blood in this world flowing inside the body.
I clearly could have given him a chance to survive, yet I forced him to go crazy.
Do you know why is that?
Because Prince Kang revolted and disobeyed you.
No, because his wild ambition went over the interest of the government and the citizens.
He futilely attempted to incite a rebellion and drag Wei into a war of schemes.
That's why, even if I'm in so much pain, I still have to do it.
As the ruler of an empire,
one's individual feelings and one's prosperity and reputation are all unimportant.
What is important is just one thing, that is to never forget
the duties that you are bearing on your shoulders.
I clearly know what I should do.
That's good then.
Huo Xuan!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rise.
You won the competition.
I will personally officiate your wedding.
Your Highness.
I'm already married. How could I then marry another wife?
It was the Liu Song princess who yielded the position herself.
Your Majesty, you're joking.
- How could the marriage alliance between Wei and Song just change because of a person's will? - But...
Your Majesty, I still have things to do. I'll take my leave now.
Uncle! Are you sure you won't regret this?
Rong Zhi has always been using you and fooling you.
Princess, this is a poison without any scent or taste.
As long as Rong Zhi dies, you can obtain your freedom again
and return to Song. Live your past life.
Are the things you said before really true?
Has Rong Zhi really been lying to me? Tian Rujing, you better explain it clearly!
The matter has already come to this, yet you still kept asking.
Princess, if you're unable to harden your heart, you would become Rong Zhi's offering.
Don't forget how many people has Rong Zhi hurt just for power.
Tell me, Tian Rujing, that you're lying! Rong Zhi didn't lie to me! He's not the person that you're saying!
Tell me! Why must you slander Rong Zhi?! Tian Rujing!
Talk! Talk! Tian Rujing!
Princess Consort!
Princess Consort...are you alright?
His Highness couldn't find you and has become very anxious.
But a fire suddenly broke out of the Prince Kang Manor.
His Highness asked me to come find you and take you back.
Stop right there!
Huo Xuan, I still have something to do today. Let's just talk tomorrow.
Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com
You were with her earlier.
You clearly know, so why still ask?
Because you are Rong Zhi!
That's why, I refused to believe it.
Rong Zhi is also a live human.
Yes. Anyone in this world might do the same thing,
but only you can't.
Because you are the Prince Regent of Wei. Because you are the Rong Zhi that I know.
You would never change your initial intention for anyone.
In your heart, the top has always been the imperial power and second is Wei.
How could you do things to this point just for a woman?
Huo Xuan, you really know me better than anyone else.
Why then will you still fall in love with me?
You know how cruel and heartless I am.
Just to achieve my goal, I will do anything.
My whole heart is full of lusts and power.
Why will you still love a man like that?
We are the same.
Huo Xuan, we are different.
Deep in your heart, you fully accept being loyal to your emperor and loving your citizens.
Although you're willful and arrogant, you were willing to give up on your youthful years,
give up on your female identity,
and even risking your life several times. But I'm different.
What I want is the paramount power.
I kept saying that this is for Wei.
All are just lies to fool you.
To fool me?
Right. I needed your strength.
I needed your intelligence. That's why, I lied to you.
Actually, I'm no different with Prince Kang.
The only thing different is our means.
Don't you understand that there are so many methods to woo a woman in this world?
The most effective one is to play by her interests and to play hard to get.
Huo Xuan, you are actually the same as other ordinary girls.
You were easily blinded by love.
You believed the person that you shouldn't have believed.
You heard it earlier, right?
I am not willing to marry you. I'm not willing.
I'm gifting you that punch,
because you not only insulted yourself, but also me.
I didn't.
I have eyes and a heart.
I believe that the Rong Zhi I see isn't a vile person that only covet for fame and self-interest.
I will forever remember that it was you who carried me back from a pile of corpse.
When we were in the battlefield, you and I fought side by side and moved forward or withdrew together.
I love you.
Not only do I love your outer appearance, I love your soul more.
Now, you're telling me that I loved a despicable man? I will not forgive you for that.
Huo Xuan...
Rong Zhi, let me seriously ask you now.
What feelings do you have for me?
You are my comrade.
A best friend that I can say anything to.
My only female confidante in this world.
Also, my most trusted woman.
But you love Chuyu, right?
Yes. I love her.
I should have guessed that.
Since you started to repeatedly go out of control for her, I should have guessed it.
But I'm a woman after all.
I refused to face this reality
and refused to believe that I will lose.
Huo Xuan, you're too good.
Too good that I'm unable to resist you.
I even feel ashamed for not loving you.
But that is not love.
You can be my comrade,
my little sister, my best friend,
but you can never be my lover,
because we are too familiar with each other.
Just like two porcupines trying hard to warm each other,
but unable to really get close to each other.
Rong Zhi, if one day...
you're asked to choose between the world and Chuyu...
You fell in love with a kind Liu Song woman.
She doesn't really understand your dreams nor bear the weight of your wild ambitions.
Let me seriously ask you now.
If one day, there will be a conflict between the person you love and the responsibility you're bearing, how will you choose?
Talk! I want to know the answer!
I will never forget my responsibilities.
Just as I expected.
Rong Zhi, I dare to make a bold statement
that a person like you isn't worthy to have happiness.
Huo Xuan!
You believe in fate too much. But have you ever thought about
if I'm really the one destined for you?!
Prince Regent's Manor
Your Highness, the Princess Consort is back.
Red Phoenix Room
Hongxiu...
Your Majesty, you're having headaches again?
You already know?
The whole imperial palace already knows.
Your Majesty, you must be in a bad mood right now.
When others know that I'm in a bad mood,
they will all try to hide as far as possible.
But only you will stand in the center of the storm
at this time.
Others leave
because they are afraid of getting affected by your wrath.
But...
I am only afraid of Your Majesty of you hurting yourself because of your anger.
Hongxiu, only you know me.
Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Regent might just be having a moment of wrong decision.
One day, he'll understand
that everything that you're doing is for his good.
Of course, I'm doing all these for his own good.
Too bad, even I don't understand
what he really is thinking.
Maybe, I can share your worries.
I don't understand
for any man will surely choose Huo Xuan
when asked to choose between her and Chuyu!
But he instead made the most unexpected decision.
Can you tell me why?
All men loves to subdue others.
Even if Huo Xuan is a deity,
but when she became too easy to be obtained,
she then lost her charm.
More importantly, even if Huo Xuan has outstanding talent and beauty,
but she thinks too highly of herself, always being competitive, being overbearing on men.
Even towards relationships, she must stand on the leading position.
That will easily make others feel tired.
But Chuyu...
is completely the opposite. Although she's also very smart,
she didn't lose her pure heart.
In Prince Regent's eyes, all her lapses
will then become very adorable.
If I'm Prince Regent, I also couldn't help but to fell in love with her.
Really?
Yes. When two complicated people are together,
they will keep suspecting each other and be unable to get near each other.
That's why, a person with deep thoughts like Prince Regent will choose a pure hearted and passionate Chuyu.
Having her around is like having the purest heart in this world.
Actually, there's no use in saying anything.
Because sometimes when you love someone,
you don't really need any reason.
In the contrary, if you insist on asking why,
then maybe...
maybe it's just fate making fools of people.
I just feel that he's being very stupid.
A fish and a bear paw might also be able to coexist.
But just one move and he offended both women.
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing that this is the immature aspect of Prince Regent.
But it is also exactly the aspect that showed his benevolence.
Benevolence?
Yes. If Prince Regent is able to keep hiding his feelings,
then Huo Xuan will eventually be taken by him.
For an arrogant woman like that,
suffering will then accompany her for a lifetime.
That's why, the heartlessness of Prince Regent now
actually proves that he has deep affection for Huo Xuan.
Even if it's not love, it's more precious than love.
No. He already has become muddled.
Totally forgetting the responsibility that he is bearing.
But it's fine. I will help him remember.
Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?
My gift is already waiting for him.
- Your Highness, there is— - I'm tired. Let's just talk tomorrow.
Who are you?
Your Highness, I am Yueya.
Princess Consort, please stop.
Princess Consort.
I want to see Prince Regent!
His Highness was covered in dust (travel-worn).
He is very exhausted and already went to rest.
But I have something to ask him!
Princess Consort, you really can't go in now.
What is this place?
Prince Regent's Manor.
Who am I?
I am the Prince Regent's Wife,
your madam. Can you be unruly to me like this?! Leave!
It's not that I am not allowing to go in. It's just that...
What's wrong with him?
His Majesty personally gifted him a beautiful woman.
Princess Consort!
You have offended me.
Stay right here and kneel down. Kneel for a full two-hour interval before you get up.
You have offended me, you will immediately kneel down!
Kneel for a full two hours before you get up!
I indeed wanted the Emperor to confer upon me,
but why was it finally this way?
All right, stop crying!
The Princess bringing about a golden age is therefore obstructed by the seven death fate.
The Pavillion Master sent you to Great Wei probably to bring the greedy wolf and seven death together,
to lead to the whole world into the chaos of war.
Rong Zhi accepted the marriage alliance only because his greedy wolf nature delights in slaughter.
The owner will change by rebellion, unless the Emperor can hinder fate,
he must collect the blood of the seven death person to alter destiny.
Princess, Rong Zhi regards you as a chess piece,
in order to take unfair advantage of your sincerity, to coerce you into being delighted and willing to sacrifice your life for him.
Rong Zhi, don't tell me that you have me really and truly in your heart.
I really am merely the seven death person, someone who is expendable.
