Untouchable Lovers
Episode 52
You're awake.
I'll go call the doctor.
Don't go.
You still won't forgive me until now?
Sorry. I can't.
You could have abandoned me, yet you still brought me back here.
You clearly can't bear to part with me and still love me!
I indeed still love you.
I just don't want to get hurt and be lied at again!
- Chuyu. - Your Highness.
Empress Dowager has issued a decree asking you to immediately withdraw your army.
His Majesty was afraid that you will achieve unrivaled merit, that's why, he is doing his utmost to stop you.
Your Highness, need not mind it. Once we conquer Jiankang, His Majesty sure won't have anything to say anymore.
Listen to my order. Immediately mobilize the troops to return to our empire.
- Your Highness! - Immediately do it!
Chuyu, no matter how much you hate me,
you are still my Princess Consort.
You must go back with me.
I already said it, I'm not hungry.
Princess!
Qingyue!
I miss you so much.
Oh, right, has your injuries healed?
I'm fine, Princess.
Do you know that I've asked Shen Yu about you, but he wouldn't tell me.
Don't say it anymore. That very bad person Shen Yu
said that His Highness wanted to give you a surprise, hence, wouldn't let me tell you. He only let me go now.
Qingyue, you worked hard.
Princess, I'm fine.
Shen Yu knew that you are the person in His Highness' heart. He wouldn't dare to treat me badly.
Princess, did I say something wrong?
Nothing.
Greetings, Prince Regent.
His Majesty has set up a welcoming feast for Prince Regent in the northern suburbs of the city.
His Highness is hurt.
- Northern suburbs? - Yes. His Highness has been reviewing the troops in the northern suburbs lately.
When he heard that Prince Regent is coming back, he was too happy. He wanted to set up
a victory party for you at the northern border.
All the high ministers have arrived. Even Her Highness the Empress Dowager is already there.
Change our route.
Change the route to the northern suburbs!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Uncle, you have worked hard in your long travel.
Your Majesty, you have praised me hard. The ones who have worked hard isn't me, but our soldiers.
Look at you two.
You just haven't seen each other for a short time. How come you two are being strangers to each other?
Rong Zhi, come.
You two have the ruler-subject relationship,
but also are related by blood. What words can't be frankly said?
What mistakes can't be revealed and forgiven?
Rong Zhi, about you leaving Pingcheng without permission,
His Majesty isn't going after it anymore. You must serve His Majesty well from now on
in establishing the grand dream of the empire.
Yes.
- Senior Maid Qin. - Yes.
Rong Zhi, make a toast to His Majesty.
Starting today, the past grievances between you have melted like ice.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Uncle, I'll drink it all first to show my respect.
Uncle, what's wrong?
Your Majesty, I haven't fully recovered, hence, not suitable to drink any wine.
May Your Majesty forgive me.
That is just a small thing. Uncle need not feel bad about it.
Aren't you going to hurry and change it to warm water?
Today, I even especially prepared some song and dance performances. I want to enjoy them with Uncle.
- Please sit. - Yes.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Rong Zhi, you dare to put poison on the cup?
Prince Regent is rebelling! Aren't you going to hurry and arrest him?!
So, today isn't a victory party, but a Hongmen Banquet!
Older Sister, you're helping him, is that it?
Rong Zhi, you are my younger brother.
How could I bear to?
But Hong'er is also my son.
It was you who has a disloyal heart to your ruler.
Sorry. Your older sister can only uphold justice even if it conflicts with the interest of our family.
Rong Zhi, you brought this all to yourself. You can't blame anyone.
What a good 'upholding justice regardless of any family ties'.
Starting today, Wei doesn't need any Prince Regent.
In the battle with Song, we could have established an immortalized feat.
But because of Your Majesty's paranoia, it failed due to lack of persistence.
A Prince Regent like me isn't worthy to be allowed to linger.
Okay. I promise
to hand over the tiger's seal and military power.
Can I leave now?
If I let you just leave like this,
how could I be at ease?
Princess!
Rong Zhi, I taught you before.
You must always leave yourself a back up path.
Look. I told you not to bring me back.
A person like you don't need a wife. I will just be your burden.
I've already handed over the tiger's seal. What else do you want me to do?
If you want to save Princess Consort, there's just one way.
Senior Maid Qin.
After you take this pill, I'll let her go.
Empress Dowager, you are indeed the most ruthless person in this world.
Rong Zhi, you mustn't blame me.
Everything that I'm doing is for Wei.
For Wei? It's for yourself.
Rong Zhi, don't believe her words!
No, Rong Zhi!
Let her go.
Princess.
Are you fine?
The Rong Zhi that could calculate every possibilities,
you must have never thought that you will have a day like this, right?
What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at how naive you are.
You actually lured the wolf into your lair and persuaded a tiger to give off its skin.
What nonsense are you saying now?
Your Majesty, your name is Tuoba Hong, right?
You should ask Empress Dowager what her real son's name is.
Rong Zhi, now that things have come to this,
you still aren't giving up in sowing dissension between us mother and son?
The scheming heart of Prince Regent is indeed so deep.
Imperial Mother, you even said that you'll let him leave as long as he takes the drug.
In my opinion, that is being too soft-hearted like a woman.
Only by killing him will we be sure that there's no more future trouble.
- Tuoba Hong, you're breaking your promise! - Princess.
We only said earlier that we'll let you go if he takes the pill,
but I never said that I'm going to let you two come and go here freely.
Despicable.
Make your move!
Who dares to make any move?!
Rong Zhi, you indeed have evil intentions.
You actually have set up your own men within Pingcheng?
If you are able to guard against me, couldn't I also do means to defend myself? Isn't that just fair?
You...!
Your Majesty, if you dare hurt Prince Regent even just a bit today,
We all will assassinate the imperial clan of Wei and will not stop until we die.
Your Majesty, being able to train such kind of team within PIngcheng
and not being found out, he indeed is an extraordinary person.
Let him go.
Imperial Mother!
Not that I'm being soft-hearted,
Prince Regent has a huge number of escorts.
If he really dies here today.
there will surely be unending assassins that will try to assassinate our Wei's imperial clan.
What's the point of two sides getting badly battered?
Hope that after I left, Empress Dowager won't make things hard on others.
How am I without any tolerance?
All of you, withdraw!
- Let's go. - Wait.
Princess, take me with you, okay?
Silly girl.
Take care.
No...
Princess...
Princess!
Princess Consort, don't worry. I surely will take good care of Qingyue.
It's fine now.
Chuyu, you still hate me, right?
You said it right. You are indeed just a burden for me!
If there's no you, I wouldn't have been set up.
Leave.
But earlier, you...
I will just lose my martial arts skills. It's very easy to
make a comeback! I don't need you to meddle with it.
Leave!
I don't want to see your face again. Hurry and leave!
What's wrong with you?
Rong Zhi...
It was just merely like that...
What 'merely like that'?
There was once a person...
who wanted me to use your blood to change fate.
A baleful individual against another one, to block off the inauspicious fate.
And with it, I could go against the heaven's mandate and change my destiny,
be a sovereign that descends on this world.
Such a laughable fate.
This is your fragrant scent.
Chuyu...
I never believed in destiny.
Don't believe it too. Hold your fate
in your own hands.
I'll go look for Empress Dowager. I'll go beg her.
Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi...
Rong Zhi, don't scare me. Aren't you very smart?
Rong Zhi, hurry and think of a way! There must be a way, Rong Zhi!
What way can there be?
No matter how smart I am,
I can't go against destiny. Sorry.
I initially wanted the empire.
But since you came to my side,
I slowly started to not want it.
I have never did any unreasonable acts. I saved you this time
because I feel that you're better than the empire.
I am a bad person that always weigh things for my self-benefit.
Don't remember me.
Anyone can die.
Only you won't.
How it is possible that you would die?
You were very bad.
Rong Zhi...
Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi, don't be like this!
Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!
Rong Zhi...
Rong Zhi, don't be like this! Rong Zhi!
Rong Zhi... Don't scare me.
Rong Zhi, don't be like this.
Rong Zhi...
I beg you to not be like this.
This kind of suffering...
should have ended long ago.
Rong Zhi...
Don't scare me, Rong Zhi.
You must be fooling me, right?
Hurry and get up. I won't fall for your trick again.
Hurry and get up.
Rong Zhi...
Your Majesty, I've already brought the corpse of Prince Regent.
Good. I'm going to break his corpse into pieces.
No, you can't. Prince Regent has achieve great merits and his military achievements are well-known.
Your Majesty, if you do that, you will disappoint the heart of government officials.
Everyone saw how he poisoned me.
Those matters were just to shut off the gossiping mouth of the public.
How many smart person can that fooled?
What does Imperial Mother suggest?
Spread my decree. Give him a proper burial.
Yes.
Imperial Mother, the effect of that drug seems to be too strong.
I've taken an antidote beforehand, yet I still feel my chest being tight and breathless.
Too bad, he refused to drink the poisoned wine.
All my efforts almost went in vain.
You really are a stupid kid.
Didn't I already tell you to
leave all these to me. Why must you still draw a snake with feet on it? (ruining the effect by adding superfluous)
Rong Zhi is too cunning.
To get his trust is too hard.
Congratulations, Your Highness the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty!
Imperial Consort Hui has given birth to a healthy prince.
Let me see!
Let me see.
So adorable.
Your Majesty, this child looks exactly like you when you were little.
What name should we give him?
I'll leave that to Imperial Mother to decide.
Let's call him Tuoba Hong then.
Hong for great undertaking.
I hope that he'll become a person with a broad chest (broad-minded).
Hong'er, what do you think?
Okay.
Hong'er.
Hong'er. So adorable.
Here.
Spread my decree. Immediately execute Imperial Consort Hui.
Her posthumous name will be Furen Si (think/yearn).
Yes.
Imperial Mother, why must you immediately execute Hongxiu?
Your Majesty, have you forgotten the ancestral rule of Wei?
Although Wei has an ancestral rule that
once a prince becomes the Crown Prince, his birth mother must be executed,
he still is this small.
Isn't conferring him to be the Crown Prince now too rushed?
Senior Maid Qin, bring Hong'er away first.
Your Majesty, you have said it wrongly.
How am I wrong?
This child isn't being conferred to be the Crown Prince,
but will become the emperor.
What did you say?
I said that from now on, Hong'er is We's son of heaven.
What about me?
Of course, you're the Taishang Emperor (Retired Emperor).
You...
Your Majesty, your name is Tuoba Hong, right?
You should ask Empress Dowager what her son's real name is.
My dead second imperial brother...
Your real son...what really is...
He? His name is Tuoba Hong.
Because when he was born, his cry was like a flood.
It was very loud.
The past emperor liked it very much
and especially gave him that name.
Tuoba Hong?
Hong'er...
You were actually not calling my name. You were...
What did Your Majesty remember? How come you look very frightened?
It was you. You assisted me to ascend to the throne.
Now that I'm grown up and won't listen to your words,
you are now going to assist a baby to get the throne.
No matter if it's me or this child,
are all your son's substitute. Your puppet!
Your Majesty has finally regained full awareness.
No wonder Rong Zhi said that I persuaded the tiger to give up its skin.
With your personality, how could you let mute servant stay alive?
So, it was just pushing the boat along the current to avoid the sharp points of your enemies.
Once we all have ended up badly hurt from our fighting, you will then step up and rebuild the empire.
No, Second Imperial Brother then was clearly very healthy.
Everything about him was well.
Until the news about the past emperor planning to make him a Crown Prince came out,
he then suddenly died!
It was you...
You killed Second Imperial Brother.
You killed your own son!
You are so scary!
Men, protect me! Protect your emperor!
You rebels...
All of you got bribed by Feng Ting and are assisting a child to ascend to the throne!
Are you all just going to watch as the empire of the Tuoba clan got taken away?!
We can only blame Your Majesty for being too narrow-minded.
Just to defeat Rong Zhi, you lost your rationality and acted recklessly.
You have always been acting.
Acting to be a benevolent mother.
Acting as a sister who loves her little brother.
You used the matter about Prince Kang to sow dissension. You used my hand to eliminate Rong Zhi.
Now...you still want to take away my empire?
Your Majesty, have you forgotten?
It was me who assisted you to your throne.
It was me who sat on the imperial court with you and assisted you in governing.
It was me who had Chancellor Yihun killed.
Without me, how could you have your majestic empire?
Without my Imperial Father, you would have been just a palace servant!
If he really loves me, he should have changed a rule like that.
Letting me raise the children of other people,
should I be thankful for that?!
What a joke.
Hong'er, you should thank Wei
for the rule of the mother dying once the son gets favored.
If not because the birth mother must be executed
once the prince get conferred as the Crown Prince,
the current emperor might not even be you.
You are usurping the throne. The Heaven surely will punish you.
You'll die without a full corpse. Thousands of arrows piercing through your heart!
You are really a silly child.
I don't believe in heaven nor Buddha...
because I'm the ruler of Wei!
I'm going to kill you...
Look at that. All of you, look at that.
His Majesty is really very sick that he's becoming delirious.
Aren't you all going to assist His Majesty back to his bed to rest?
Hurry.
Your Majesty.
Get lost! Don't touch me!
Your Majesty, this way please.
Get lost! Don't touch me!
Prince Regent! Prince Regent!
Save me! Save me!
- So pitiful. - Prince Regent!
Didn't your Prince Regent just die in your hands?

Even if I've returned to Song now,
what meaning is still there to all of it?
Who is it?
Isn't the food for today already delivered?
Rong Zhi...
Chuyu!
Chuyu...is it you?
Chuyu...
Chuyu, is it you?
Rong Zhi...
Sorry. I've fooled you again.
Sorry.
How come things are like this? How come things have become like this?
Tell me. How come you've become like this?
The heart devouring poison didn't kill me.
My eyes...
My eyes have become blind and my legs can't move anymore.
Sorry. I fooled you.
But this time, it was different.
This time, it wasn't for power. It was for you.
You can't see anything now?
- How come you... How come you can't see anymore? - I'm fine.
- Everything's fine. - Tell me, how come things have become like this?
Sorry.
Why must you lie to me?!
I hate you so much, do you know that?!
I thought you're dead,
but you suddenly appeared here.
Do you know that I've cried my heart our for you?!
Sorry.
Chuyu.
Did it frighten you?
This is because when the heart devouring poison acts up,
it's like thousands of blade cutting through you.
What's to be scared about this?
No matter what happens,
you are my Rong Zhi.
How come Empress Dowager Feng eventually let you off?
If His Majesty is able to make a deal with Empress Dowager,
I also can make a deal with my older sister.
I'll hand her my power,
and help her lure out the power that His Majesty have nurtured, she will then completely return my freedom.
That is very fair.
Greetings, Your Highness the Empress Dowager!
But in the end, you still took in the drug.
I've only taken half of the drug amount.
This is the price I have to pay for my freedom.
Empress Dowager can't be at ease for Rong Zhi to make a comeback, but she wouldn't make a fuss with a useless person
who is blind and unable to walk.
You bastard.
You caused me to be sad for such a long time for nothing.
Sorry.
You lied to me. I really am very angry.
But you're still alive.
This is really great.
Hong'er, look here.
Look. Is this rattling drum pretty?
- So adorable. - Your Highness the Empress Dowager.
What is it?
His Majesty kept saying crazy words.
He said...that you were the one who killed Second Prince.
What do you think?
An tiger might be evil but he won't eat his children. Your Highness isn't that kind of person.
Hong'er, give me one more smile.
One more smile.
Good.
On the 6th year of Yanxing, Emperor Xianwen died.
Empress Dowager Feng temporarily headed the government
and respectfully called the Grand Empress Dowager.
Hong'er.
Come.
Greetings, Grand Empress Dowager.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi, I caught a fish! Rong Zhi!
Quickly come over here, Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!
Rong Zhi, hurry and come.
Wow! Such a big fish.
You liar. You kept fooling me that you were blind.
Saying something about your eyes cannot see and that it's inconvenient for you to move around.
In the end, what? You recovered in less than a year.
Big liar.
If Empress Dowager was able to bribe Eunuch Wang, can't I get Senior Maid Gu to be on my side?
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
Empress Dowager has too much spies. I must act cautiously.
Only once she completely gave up can I regain my health.
I think you were just afraid for me to know that you're alright
for I might just turn around and leave.
That's why, you were just pretending to be pitiful to get my charity.
Fine. Rong Zhi is indeed the number one calculative person in this world, not missing out on anything.
But let me ask you, how many fishes have you caught?
Not even one.
Rong Zhi, Empress Dowager promulgated a new Farmland Law,
where the barren lands without any owner were given to farmers. This was your suggestion before.
But now, everyone are singing her praises for it.
Really?
You don't regret it?
Regret what?
A great and majestic empire. If you didn't give up everything,
you have now commanded your army south and seized control of the whole Central Plains.
If you're around, I then have no regrets.
