" Princess Silver "
Episode 25
I'll confer you the title as Princess Zhao Yun immediately.
And you'll be married off to Chen in two days' time.
Please forgive Prince Chen.
Me and Prince Chen are young, foolish and reckless.
We almost cause a disaster.
I'll take on all the blame.
I hope that you'll allow me...
to marry to a faraway country without any worries.
This time, Prince Chen...
has defied the law...
of the worst offence.
He should be punished as a warning.
But since he's already hurt,
I'll punish him as I see fit.
He will be caned 50 times and will be jailed in the Supreme Court.
After you left the border of Northern Realm safely,
I'll release him and I won't pursue this matter anymore.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I still have a presumptuous request.
If you need anything, please call for me.
Zhao Yun, you are here.
I'm fine.
My legs are just very stiff because I sat too long.
No need to care about me. Go and find Wu You.
Ask him to bring you out from here and wait for me outside.
Come. Let's take a seat first.
Be careful.
I'm fine, Zhao Yun.
Wu Yu.
This time, I won't wait for you anymore.
And no need to come and find me anymore.
Because from now on, the husband that I'll give myself to...
is Prince Zhen Bei from Chen.
I'll grow old and Gray with him.
I know.
Father and the others must have forced you to do it, right?
One day soon, I'll kill that Prince Zhen Bei.
Nobody forces me to do it.
I did it willingly.
Impossible.
I don't believe you. We were doing so well together before this.
Zhao Yun.
We promised each other that we'll travel the world together.
Why?
Why did it turn out like this?
Because I can rely on Prince Zhen Bei.
Since young, I've lost my parents.
I have only you and Brother Wu You.
But both of you can do nothing when I'm chosen as the alliance bride.
You said you want to travel the world with me.
But the reality is, you were hurt and you collapsed in front of me.
You can't protect me.
If I'm with you,
I'll always be in a state of anxiety.
Zhao Yun.
So all along, in your heart,
I'm...
such a weak and useless person.
It's up to you to believe it or not.
But these are my real thoughts.
Rather than giving myself to you who have no achievement,
it's better if I give myself to the future emperor of Chen.
When that day comes,
I'll be the empress of Chen.
I'll have ultimate power...
and I won't be bullied or looked down by others again.
He is the future emperor.
But can he sacrifice everything for you?
Prince Chen.
Take care.
Zhao Yun.
Wu Yu.
As long as you live,
you'll be able to find a lady in the future...
that can sooth the hurt that I've brought upon you.
Both of you will hold your child's hand...
and live together until you are old and Gray.
You can see the world without...
-needing to lead a vagabond life. -Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun!
Wu Yu.
Leaving you...
is the bravest thing that I've done in my entire life.
From now on, we will be world apart.
I hope that you won't miss me...
or yearn for me in the future.
Lady Rong Le has been staying put in the Tranquil Garden.
Just like you've asked, we've rejected all requests...
from those who want to meet her.
You may leave now.
Yes, General.
General Fu.
Crown prince has sent words that he wants to meet you immediately.
Prepare my horse. I'll go to Eastern Palace now.
General Fu, crown prince has asked you to go to House of Fragrance.
Master.
Come.
Let me kiss you.
-Here. -Come over here.
Come over here.
-Come. We are here. -Where are you?
I can't catch anyone.
I'm here. Come here now, quickly.
I'm going to catch you now.
Who is it?
How dare you make me fall down!
You want to be kicked out from here?
I didn't get to announce my presence in time.
Please pardon me for my lack of manners.
It's you, General Fu.
You lack manners in too many things.
Let me tell you.
He might look sanctimonious all of the time,
but he's just a hypocrite!
A wolf in sheep's skin!
Fu Chou.
How dare you played me.
Who am I?
I'm the crown prince.
The son of the emperor.
What about you?
You are nothing!
I still have work to do. Farewell.
You! Stop right there!
What are you laughing at?
Do you want to die?
Let me ask someone to send you back to the Eastern Palace.
Enough.
No need to pretend anymore.
After what you did to me that day,
we are no longer in good terms.
I admit that...
I was too rude to you on that day.
But I have no other choice.
Crown Prince.
That day, you had backed me into a corner.
That's why I had lost control of myself.
I hope that you can forgive me for rudeness.
Please forgive me for the words that I had uttered in a fit of rage.
You have to see the bigger picture here.
I had indeed...
things too difficult for you that day, General Fu.
But I had done it for your own good.
I want you to see clearly how fickle and lascivious your wife is.
I've took great pains to do that for you.
Thank you, Crown Prince.
Enough.
Of course you need to thank me.
But I need something practical.
I heard that Zhao Yun has been conferred...
the title as princess for the alliance.
She's going to be married to a faraway place soon.
She's under Zongzheng Wu You.
I've already devised a plan that can kill two birds with one stone.
The marriage alliance of Princess Zhao Yun...
is under Zongzheng Wu You's responsibility.
And His Majesty has already decreed that...
tonight, he will be responsible for...
Princess Zhao Yun's safety at the inn.
General Fu.
Lady Rong Le has ordered us to prepare a carriage for her.
She wants to go to the inn with Miss Sun...
to pay Princess Zhao Yun a visit.
I'm worried that if she goes there,
she might affect our plan for tonight.
Make sure that everything goes according to plan.
Nothing can go wrong.
Yes, General Fu.
General Fu.
Sorry for disturbing you at your manor.
It's rare for you to come here.
No need to be so polite. Come, have a seat.
General Fu.
Zhao Yun will be married off the Chen tomorrow.
Me and Miss Sun wish to pay her a visit at the inn.
After she left,
I'm not sure if I'll ever see her again.
I hope that you can understand.
You treat Zhao Yun like a sister.
It's only right for you to give your sister who is...
going to be married to Chen a farewell.
Why would I stop you?
I won't let you interfere with this before because I know that...
you won't be able to turn the table.
It'll be pointless even if you try to stop it.
Now, everything is already on their due courses.
You should go and give her some advice.
After all, both of you are princess for alliance.
I think both of you can understand each other well.
I'll go and get ready then.
Please excuse me.
Miss Sun, I've lost my composure...
in Linglong Palace that day. I've embarrassed myself.
You think too much.
I understand the difficult position you were in at that time.
I still have some work to do.
Please feel free at home. Goodbye.
Tonight, no matter what, we have to guard Princess Zhao Yun's safety.
Make sure that nobody comes in.
Yes, Your Highness.
Do you like me?
I like you too.
After my father is done with the marriage alliance affair,
I'm going to tell him about our marriage.
Who says I'm marrying you?
You haven't even proposed to me.
I'm already hooked on you. You can't get rid of me.
From now on, there will be...
no prince and princess,
no wealth and status...
and no duties for the country.
In our world, there will be only me and you.
Zhao Yun.
Brother Wu You.
From tomorrow onwards,
I won't be by your side.
You have to take good care of yourself.
Brother Wu You.
Don't worry. I'm all grown up now.
I'm no longer that little girl...
who always trod behind you.
From tomorrow onwards,
I'll try my best to be a qualified alliance princess.
How I hope that...
you can be my sister forever.
I hope that you can always be...
a wilful, cute and cheerful little girl.
I hope that whenever I turn my back,
I can see you running towards me...
while calling me Brother Wu You.
Brother Wu You.
Don't worry.
Zhao Yun.
You and Wu Yu...
are my family who I care about most in this world.
I couldn't get both of you to be together although I've tried my best.
Do you blame me?
Not only I don't blame you,
I feel very touched whenever I saw you...
doing your best to help me.
To be able to have a great brother like you in this lifetime,
I can live without any regrets.
How nice would it be if you can never grow up.
Brother Wu You.
I need you to help me with something.
You want me to advice Wu Yu, right?
But you have to wait...
until he has found his beloved one...
to tell him this.
In my heart,
he has always been the bravest man that I know.
When I was with him,
I had never once felt lonely.
Alright. I promise you.
I'll tell him that.
Wu Yu has asked me to give this to you.
When he gave you this ring before,
he hoped that it can bring you peace...
and luck for your whole life.
Now, he gives it to you again...
to wish you a life of happiness.
This way please.
Zhao Yun. I'm sorry that...
I've only come to see you now.
Princess Rong Le, I'm very happy...
you are here to see me today.
Miss Sun, are you alright?
I'm fine.
It's better if you go inside the room to rest.
Come.
Guards.
-Yes, Your Highness. -Get me a physician.
Yes, Your Highness.
Thank you, Prince Li.
You are welcome.
I still need to take care of Princess Zhao Yun's safety.
I'll have to take my leave now.
When can...
General Fu care for me like this?
I would be satisfied even if...
it's just a care from a stranger to another.
Zhao Yun.
I'm sorry.
I can't help you this time.
Princess Rong Le, no need to blame yourself or feel sorry for me.
This time, I'm doing it willingly.
-You and Wu Yu... -Before this,
I don't understand you and Brother Wu You.
Why can't you be together even though you love each other?
Until now only did I understand.
Brother Wu You loves you deeply.
But he can only guard and protect you from afar.
This kind of love...
is even more precious than him forcing you to be with him.
Zhao Yun.
I'm having a peaceful life right now.
But are you happy?
Princess Rong Le.
Although General Fu is very kind to you,
you don't like him.
So, how can you be happy?
It's already impossible between me and Wu Yu.
I once loved him.
But now...
Princess Rong Le.
Although I hope that you can be together with Brother Wu You,
now I know that...
the fate of marriage cannot be forced.
I don't hope that there is any misunderstanding...
between you and Brother Wu You.
Although you can't be lovers or husband and wife,
you can still be friends.
Zhao Yun.
What happened between me and Wu You...
is not as simple as just a misunderstanding.
Princess Rong Le.
Although I don't know what happened between both of you,
I'm sure that...
Brother Wu You loves you truly.
Princess Rong Le.
You only see the Brother Wu You now.
But you've never seen the past him.
The past him?
When he was young,
he was a very forthright and hearty person.
He was even more playful and cheerful than Wu Yu.
When he was seven,
after Lady Yun's sudden death,
he locked himself in Yun's Tomb and refused to eat or drink.
He almost lost his life.
From then on, he changed drastically.
He was so cold towards everything.
So, Wu You was once a young and carefree boy.
I never thought that his mother's passing...
is something so traumatic to him.
Who is it?
Miss, I'm the physician they called.
Come in.
This way please.
Miss, have a seat.
Princess Rong Le.
For you, Brother Wu You had caused such a ruckus in your wedding.
And he said something so hurtful to you.
And for you,
he had left Zhongshan and stayed in Qingzhou for more than half a year.
He had never stayed away from his mother for so long.
All of these are proofs that he loves you truly.
But his heart is encased in ice for too long.
He doesn't know how to show his love anymore.
Thank you, Zhao Yun.
No matter how will me and Wu You end up like,
I'm very thankful for...
what you told me today.
You've grown up.
You know more about love than me.
There's no chance for me and Wu Yu anymore in this life.
But there might still be a chance...
for you and Brother Wu You.
Promise me that...
if there's a chance, no matter how slim,
you'll hold it tightly with your two hands.
Because in this world,
you are the only one who can bring happiness...
to Brother Wu You.
Princess Rong Le. I think you are exhausted.
How about you go back to your room and rest first?
I'll check on Ya Li then.
Princess Rong Le, didn't you...
Is your leg feeling better?
I'm fine now.
Zhao Yun!
Wu You, save me.
-Are you alright? -I'm fine.
Princess Rong Le.
Leng Yan! She is not Man Yao. Chase after her!
-Yes, Your Highness! -Guards!
-Yes, Your Highness. -Tonight, keep your eyes wide open.
We can't let Princess Zhao Yun face any danger again.
-Yes, Your Highness! -Go there! The rest, follow me!
Roger that!
Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun, wake up.
Zhao Yun.
Who are you?
Princess Rong Le won't hurt me. Who are you?
You can't even recognise me?
Lady Rong Le saved you just now.
Princess Rong Le.
You saved me just now.
Just now, that person...
looks exactly like you.
Don't worry.
She ran away.
Prince Li has sent someone to chase after her.
I'll stay by your side.
Princess Zhao Yun, don't be afraid.
We are here.
Zhao Yun.
Are you alright, Zhao Yun?
Brother Wu You.
I'm fine.
Just now, Princess Rong Le has fought with that assassin.
I wonder if she's hurt.
Alright, I get it. Don't worry.
Have a good rest. I'll stand guard outside.
Princess Rong Le has seen the assassin.
She has something to tell you.
Lady Rong Le has fought with the assassin.
She can indeed help you to find out about the assassin's identity.
Don't worry, Lady Rong Le. I'll take care of Princess Zhao Yun.
If that's the case, please follow me outside...
and tell me everything in details.
-You... -You...
You first.
That person is a master of disguise.
She had disguised herself as me...
and tricked Zhao Yun.
I think she is from the Creed of Vengeance.
Zhao Yun is going to get married soon.
I hate to part with her.
She's growing up.
And she's more mature now.
Sometimes, I think that she has a clearer picture on things...
more than me.
What about you?
How are you?
I never thought that...
someone will disguise as you to frame you up.
I can't help but to feel that...
ever since I came back to the city,
danger lurks on your every side and there are so many hidden dangers.
It's almost like one mistake and you'll fall into a bottomless abyss.
Perhaps...
I shouldn't have left you alone in the city back then.
I didn't protect you well enough.
The snow falls on my palm.
I just want to gaze at you one more time.
I wait for the warmth of your gaze...
to melt it.
Actually, when I was in Qingzhou for a year and a half,
I've faced a lot of things.
I went to Qingzhou to forget about...
the past grievance in the capital.
But I also went there because of my father's secret decree.
He purposely sent me to Qingzhou...
because he wants me to investigate the cause...
of the frequent revolts that happened in the southern fringe recently.
When putting down the rebellion, not only I have to face death...
in the blood-washed battlefield,
I have to defend myself against both open and covert attacks.
I already found out that...
the scholars in southern fringe has colluded with the rebel forces.
They robbed the people of their lands and exploited them.
You might be suspicious that...
why did I share with you this kind of secrets.
I just hope that...
I'll keep no secret from you.
From now on,
I'll not keep anything about me from you.
I won't force you.
As long as you are living well,
I'll accept the fact that you've became General Fu's wife.
I just hope that I can protect you well.
Prince Li.
I heard that Zhao Yun is hurt by an assassin. How is she?
Don't worry.
Zhao Yun is fine.
That's good then.
I want to check on her.
Even if it's just a glance.
That day in Yun's Tomb, you told me that...
you are sincere towards Zhao Yun.
I believe that you are a gentleman.
Please abide by the customs...
and check on her from outside the door for just a glance.
Alright.
Over there!
Who asked you to disguise as her?
This is not the first time I did it.
What is it? You can't even face her right now?
Do you know that...
your action...
will ruin our whole plan?
It's not the first time she sees you.
-She'll know that it's you. -So what if she does?
She just knows that I'm a stand-in hired by the emperor of Qi.
Even if she suspects you, she has no proof about it.
But you are so nervous about it.
Are you afraid that she'll find out about the real you?
Hen Xiang, let me warn you.
Don't drag her into this.
And don't challenge my limit.
Moreover, don't ruin the whole plan...
because of your selfishness.
Remember that.
You can't fall in love with her.
It's none of your business!
Now that you've made an unnecessary move,
they'll be more alert now.
It'll be hard for us to find a chance to attack again.
You should just stick to your own task.
Go back to the crown prince and keep a close eye on him.
Make sure that he doesn't bring me trouble again.
I can't take it anymore.
I don't want to stay at his side.
You've given me to him because of your plan.
But have you ever thought about my feelings...
and about my situation?
I know.
Although...
I know that it must be difficult for you,
everything that we do now...
must be for the benefit of the whole.
My entire plan is already fanned out in my brain.
Don't worry.
After everything is done,
I'll get you out from there. Trust me.
Although you are my best right-hand man,
you've failed your mission today because of you selfishness.
You have to be punished.
Take her away.
It's not up to you to question my thinking.
Hen Xiang, let me warn you.
Don't drag her into this.
And don't challenge my limit.
Rong Le.
I won't let you off the hook so easily.
General Fu.
-What is it? -His Majesty has ordered you to be...
in charge of the transport to send Princess Zhao Yun to Chen tomorrow.
I told Eunuch Chen that you've gone to the inn with your wife...
and managed to deceive him.
But you have no chance but to accept the decree.
Looks like Zongzheng Wu You has known that...
tonight's assassination in the inn is connected to me.
That's why he hands over the task of protecting the princess to me.
He puts me in a difficult situation...
so that I don't dare to attack Princess Zhao Yun.
If something happens to Princess Zhao Yun,
I'll be the first one...
to be blamed.
So, what's your plan?
I have to take on this task for sure.
But Zongzheng Wu You better keeps his guard up.
We'll do it like this.
Bring back Lady Rong Le first.
Tell them that we've heard about the incident in the inn.
And the safety of Lady Rong Le comes first.
After that, make sure that...
they don't see each other anymore from now on.
Yes. I understand.
Go.
" Southern City Inn "
Greetings, Prince Li.
I have some questions for you, General Fu.
I still have important works to do.
Please ask your question.
Not long ago, I've met a group of assassins in Qingliang Lake...
trying to assassinate Prince Zhen Bei.
Yesterday night, someone went into the inn to assassinate Princess Zhao Yun.
Looks like their aim...
is to stop Prince Zhen Bei from marrying Zhao Yun by hook or by crook.
Do you think that...
those assassins might be one and the same?
I'm not sure.
Prince Li.
You've fought against them for quite a few times.
You should have known more than me.
The ones I faced are of the bad sort.
Just like the Creed of Vengeance...
that dips their hands into those criminal activities.
Greetings, Prince Zhen Bei.
Prince Zhen Bei.
His Majesty has ordered me...
to be your escort and to protect you...
and Princess Zhao Yun until you reach the border of our nation.
Thank you for taking the trouble to do that.
Before we leave the border,
I'll have to trust you with the safety of me...
and my future wife.
But, if something happens during the journey,
you'll greatly disappoint the emperor of Northern Realm...
and it'll bring troubles to you too, General Fu.
Thank you for your reminder.
I'll hold on to your hands forever.
You can rely on me without any worries.
