" Princess Silver "
Episode 27
What is that smell?
It's so itchy!
-What did you do to me? -Nothing.
I just sprayed some of my newly invented poison powder on you.
You shouldn't have disrespected me.
My brother said boys and girls should not touch each other.
A man that touches me is a bad guy!
-Give me the antidote! -No!
Give me the antidote!
-It's so itchy! Stop right there! -What do you want?
Stop! Stop right there!
Give me the antidote!
It's so itchy!
Hurry up!
It's so itchy! It's killing me.
It's so itchy!
Ke?
-It's so itchy! -Ke?
Ke?
It's so itchy!
Wu Yu, what's wrong with you?
I didn't do anything and she just passed out.
It's so itchy! Man Yao!
Man Yao, save me!
It's so itchy! I can't stand it anymore.
You pinched my face,
and now you are holding the Princess' hand!
Do that again and I will use an even more powerful poison!
You are threatening me?
You'll pay after the effect wears off.
Just you wait, you'll see!
-It's so itchy! -Ke.
Prince Chen is not the bad guy.
He is my friend, he doesn't mean you harm.
Why don't you give him the antidote?
He is your friend?
But this poison is newly brewed.
I don't have the antidote yet.
Don't worry, the effect will wear off after a few hours.
What? A few hours?
Give me the antidote, now!
Fine.
-I lied just now. -It's so itchy!
The Princess wants me to help you,
I will let it slide this time.
Hurry up!
Insolent girl! Apologise now!
Why should she apologise?
You disrespected her first.
I...
Yes! Princess Rong Le, you must help me out.
My brother told me not to get disrespected by men.
Otherwise I will never get married.
Don't be such a big head. I am already in love with someone.
I thought...
you would be frustrated by Zhao Yun's marriage.
But seeing you are laughing so gleefully,
you don't seem to need consolation.
Zhao Yun?
I do feel better now.
Fine.
I am a generous prince.
I shall forgive you this time.
What do you mean you forgive me? That should be my line!
You are getting all worked up!
Insolent girl, if it wasn't for Man Yao,
I will make...
Stop talking. Eat this snack.
Ling Yue made them.
This is Ke's favourite, right?
Xiao Sha, why did Ke pass out just now?
Ke suffers from a incurable sickness.
She always faints without any reason.
But isn't her master the Lone Frost Sage?
Not even her can heal Ke's sickness?
It's not that. My master is amazing.
But my sickness is so rare...
that my master spent her life only to find one cure.
But she couldn't find one of the herbs she needs.
That is her greatest regret.
Can't you cure yourself?
I was supposed to die after five years old.
I shall live every day I can.
But my brother insists to cure my illness.
But you fate on your side to find the herbs.
It can't be helped.
This girl may look silly,
but what she said does make sense.
The remedy requires the Leave of Seven Locutions.
Leave of Seven Locutions? Where do we find that?
Leave of Seven Locutions?
-I think I know about it. -Tell me what it is.
As long as we can cure Ke,
I am willing to do anything.
I only know even if you find the herb,
it's hard to preserve it.
If you want an exact location of it,
you need to ask my brother.
See? You are just the same as my brother.
You are clearly in love but you can't face each other.
Very well, I can be on my way now.
Wait.
Give this to your brother.
Wu You actually gave this to you?
Why? What does it mean?
This Inked-Jade Fan is the greatest item for the Hidden Ones.
You can use it to deploy the elites of Hidden Ones.
As long as you want it,
you can even overthrow the entire kingdom.
Do you mean I can trade this fan for the herb?
If my brother is willing to give you this,
he will give you the Leave of Seven Locutions.
But that leave means something special for my brother.
If you really want the leave,
it wouldn't hurt to bow down for once.
Yun.
I am here for you.
I have made up my mind...
to lead the army against Wei.
I may be old,
but my spirit is still strong.
You can understand me, right?
As you watch from heaven,
I pray to you so the Northern Realm...
can thrive on forever.
We must win this war.
Wu You doesn't understand my pain.
But you,
you understand better than anyone.
In order to rebuild this nation,
I had to marry Fu Yuan.
You agree despite the pain it caused you.
But I never thought...
my son would have such a similar experience as ours.
I may be the ruler of this land,
but there are times when I couldn't make the decision,
I felt so hopeless and helpless.
My heart has been filled with regret...
and it's been haunting me.
When Wu You...
brought that woman and lock themselves up in here,
I wonder if they bothered your rest.
That day, I felt so furious...
but then I started to understand.
Rather than being mad at his mistake,
I should be mad at myself...
for not having the courage he had that day.
The whole world is saying that...
I let Wu You do as he pleases. But only I know...
the pain he has been suffering all these years.
At night, the pain is so excruciating.
My mind is haunted by the nightmares.
He may have walked out from the sorrow of past,
but he is shackled by love.
He can't love who he loves.
Yun.
What should I do...
to wipe away the pain in Wu You's heart?
Greetings, Lady Rong Le.
I am sorry but I cannot let you pass.
His Majesty is in Lady Yun's tomb. I am ordered to keep watch here.
No one can pass through there.
Thank you, Captain Xiang.
I shall wait here.
You should go home.
His Majesty spends hours in here.
I don't know when he will come out.
Is Prince Li inside the tomb as well?
Prince Chen told me to wait for Prince Li at this place.
I am...
not at liberty to say anything.
I understand.
You can leave me be.
I shall wait here.
Every time I came to pay my respect,
it reminded me of my childhood.
My mother was gentle and kind.
She taught me about gratitude...
and kindness.
My father was merciful and generous.
He taught me how to ride a horse and archery.
My teacher was a man of knowledge.
He taught me how to be a good person.
Everything was perfect back then.
It made me feel like the world is filled with light,
that darkness never existed.
But after the case with Shilixiang Wine,
my mother was murdered.
My teacher's whole family was executed.
Whatever happiness I had,
the same tragedy came right after.
This is a good wine.
The Shilixiang Wine from Minister Qin's family...
is indeed amazing.
Your Majesty puts a lot of trust in Yu Shi Hai and his men.
They go against Minister Qin's reformation on every corner.
That also go against the interest of Northern Realm.
Your Majesty,
now that you had their wine,
you should understand how loyal Minister Qin is to you.
Your Majesty must never suspect him again.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, what happened?
I am feeling dizzy.
Let's get some rest.
Come on.
Lie down.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty?
-Help! -This headache!
Your Majesty, I am calling for the royal physician.
Someone, help!
Help!
Fu Yuan!
-Your Majesty! -I will kill you!
I will kill you!
-Your Majesty! -Fu Yuan!
Mother!
Yun?
-Your Majesty. -Yun.
-Yun! -Your Majesty.
Yun?
Your Majesty.
Why?
Yun?
Yun!
I blamed you.
But I didn't blame you...
because of the crime you committed after being drugged.
It's because...
you never face what you have done.
You keep making excuses for your mistake.
I couldn't face your mother's death.
I always thought you are a coward.
I swear I will never be like you.
But when I locked myself and Man Yao in here,
when I can never win her heart no matter what I try,
I finally realised that...
loving someone doesn't mean...
you get to spend you life with her.
As we live,
there are moments when nothing could be done.
Perhaps I don't have the right to blame you.
After all, I weren't you...
and I know nothing about your reasons.
It's just like how the world...
never knew about my past with Man Yao.
Yet they insist to judge us for what we did.
Wu You.
Does Rong Le...
really mean so much to you?
I know.
Your Majesty, Lady Rong Le is here.
She has been waiting for a long time.
Your Majesty.
Why are you here?
Are you here for me or Wu You?
Tell me,
do you love Wu You?
If you do,
why did you choose to marry General Fu?
If you don't,
why are you here for him again?
Your Majesty,
whether I love him or not,
for me, it's all in the past.
I came to Prince Li because there is something...
that absolutely needed his help.
But how do you know...
all that happened...
are left in the past for him?
I wouldn't draw any conclusion about His Highness' thought.
I only know to follow my heart.
A girl that made Wu You fall in love so deeply...
will never be a woman of vile schemes.
Fine.
I believe you.
You follow your heart and know not to cross the line.
You are a smart person.
I hope you can see the big picture.
Thank you for the teachings.
Very well.
Go to Wu You if you want.
Be nice to him.
I owe him too much.
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.
Your Highness.
The last time you are here...
was like a lifetime ago.
Those are memories of the past,
there is no need to bring it up.
This is my mother.
Mann Yao, will you pay your respect?
I endure all the loneliness just for you.
I will be your hearth in the coldest of places.
Don't you want to know why I am here?
I don't want to and there is no need to.
Your Highness, I am...
There is no need to return what I gave you.
The winter may be cold, but I will watch from afar and keep you warm.
I'm willing to wipe away your blood and wounds for you.
This was a meeting gift from my mother.
Keep it.
See? I told you.
As long as you ask, my brother will give you the leave.
Why is the Leave of Seven Locution inside Lady Yun's tomb?
When my brother was just a kid,
someone poisoned him.
Lady Yun went through a lot of hassle to get this herb for him.
I don't know what happened back then.
But when my father heard about this,
he was mad at Lady Yun for the first time.
He didn't talk to her for three whole months.
This herb really is precious.
If this leave was used to cleanse the poison,
why is it still kept here?
The leave was originally much thicker.
The poison can be cleanse with just half of its fluid.
The other half was too hard to preserve.
So it was kept inside the ice chamber of the palace.
Then, my brother placed it inside Lady Yun's tomb.
For my brother,
this leave represents his mother's love for him.
This is the most precious belonging she left for my brother.
I can't keep this herb. It means too much to him.
You should take it.
Never mind.
Once this herb leaves the ice chamber,
it won't be easy to preserve it.
Since you are using it to save a life, you should use it.
Don't let my brother's kindness go to waste.
After all, you mean the world to him.
I must ready the medicine for Ke.
Take it as Prince Li is saving her life.
Man Yao.
This is not about my brother saving Ke's life.
This is about his love for you.
Till the end of time,
he will always be there for you.
Our hearts are lifetime apart.
No one was here for us.
How to we keep living this life?
Finally, I've learnt how to trust.
But I've underestimated love and hate.
We have thrown away the fate that we got by chance.
I have to admit to my mistakes..
I regret the one mistake that I made so much.
All hopes are lost, how do I start over?
I asked for too much, I hesitated for too long.
I blamed the mistake that happened too soon.
You were standing right behind me,
mocking the promise I made for you.
I must give it all I had...
to accept the lies of affection.
It never ends, love will fade.
The blossoms fall, and I waited in silence.
I cling onto the past despite the pains.
I won't let our love be a regret.
Live without sorrow, die without any hate.
This is the leniency that you've shown me.
We are not holding hands, but you are holding my heart.
Wu Yu, you can see yourself out.
I have other work to be done.
It's okay. I am not in a hurry.
I recall I have something to discuss with Lady Rong Le.
Please wait, Prince Chen.
I was simply passing by.
I'll be on my way now.
Man Yao, are you two...
Wu Yu.
You should go.
I wish to be alone.
Okay.
Ke, I did as you said...
and used the leave as remedy along with your prescription.
I made sure the ingredients are used perfectly.
You will get well after you take this medicine.
-You will live a long life. -Princess Rong Le.
I don't want a long life.
My master tried everything she could to keep her beauty.
She wasted so much time on it.
If I have the time, I should see the world...
and have all that are delicious and fun.
So many people are afraid of getting old...
and wanted to stay young.
Even a sage like your master could escape from that fear.
But you are so innocent.
Time will never stop you from doing anything.
Princess Rong Le.
What are you talking about? I don't get it.
You know it the best.
Your Highness saved our lives.
We will never able to repay your kindness.
From now on,
I swear to follow Your Highness to the day I die.
-I will never betray you. -Please, get up.
Xiao Sha, I didn't save Ke to ask for you to repay me.
Long Yue stayed loyal to the end.
I hope you can uphold your loyalty as well.
I...
understand Your Highness.
Brother, why are you crying? Let's go to the House of Fragrance.
Sir Xiao, are you still meddling with the people there?
I do hate that place.
But the people there said...
men love to hangout at that place.
Ke, enough of this nonsense.
It's not nonsense.
I misunderstood.
Lady Rong Le.
You look absent-minded recently.
Is something bothering your mind?
I want to spend some time living in the teahouse.
Ling Yue told me that...
you and General Fu are having a cold relationship.
He should have known that...
ever since the attack by the lake,
all the false kindness and gentle gestures he gave...
are all exposed.
But he couldn't face it.
He is trying to make up for it.
And now,
it seems like his pretentious love has met its limit.
Lady, are you sure about this?
Just because you are angry,
this decision cannot be made lightly.
After you got used to this place and the people here,
it won't be easy to leave everything behind.
Keeping what should be deposed of will cause more harm.
Chen Yu, I envy the life you are having.
It's simple and plain.
You have no desires.
Right.
I keep having headache.
I keeping seeing flashes of memories.
They are so vague...
yet so real.
Ke said I might recover my memories.
I was thinking...
if these memories...
are reminding me that...
it's time to leave this place.
Lady, I owe my life to you.
If you are leaving, please take me with you.
Princess Rong Le.
Miss Chen Yu, you are here too.
Princess, let me read your pulse.
Let's see if you are getting better.
Ke, can you do me a favour?
A person I know is hurt.
But he wouldn't let me see it or let the others know.
Can you treat his wound for me?
The wound is at his shoulder.
There might be some old injuries beneath it too.
I hate this kind of people.
A doctor needs to observe the patient for diagnosis.
If he won't let anyone see or touch him,
he clearly wants to die.
I am not going to help him.
I afraid he never wanted to live a good life.
Otherwise...
he wouldn't get himself hurt so easily.
Your Highness, you are all here.
-Miss Chen Yu. -Ling Yue, just in time.
Can you take Ke to General Fu?
Tell him I sent her.
Let Ke tend to his wound.
General Fu is hurt?
How do you know? Didn't you...
Yes, I shall go right away.
Lady Rong Le, if you are in a bad mood,
let me play you a song.
I learned every song in the score you gave me.
Music calms the mind.
It might help you realise something.
I thank Your Majesty for my grandmother.
As for the jade sculpture of Long Life and Prosperity,
my grandmother placed it at the main hall.
She prays to it every day.
Good. Ya Li, at ease.
Formality is not needed here.
Your mother was like a sister to me.
I see your grandmother as my own since I was a child.
Now that her birthday is behind us,
what do you plan to do next?
I am waiting for a reply from my father.
If his men come from the south,
I must return to Qingzhou.
I thought you finally saw it through.
But you are still mindless as ever.
The campaign will be launched soon.
His Majesty is in a good mood lately.
Both you and Wu You are in the capital.
Allow me to be your witness...
and grant you two the marriage.
You won't need to return to Qingzhou...
and you may stay by my side all the time.
I thank Your Majesty for the kind offer.
But Prince Li...
Ever since the proposal from Prince Zhen Bei of Chen,
the two of us haven't met.
Really?
I heard...
Wu You and the General's wife have a suspicious relationship.
Was it my mistake...
for letting them meet each other again?
This has nothing to do with Your Majesty.
I do share a friendship with Lady Rong Le.
I know she is not the kind of person.
When Zhao Yun got married,
both she and I kept Zhao Yun company in the inn.
She kept her distance from Prince Li.
What?
They met at the inn?
Ya Li, fear not. I will speak for you.
I must severe all of their past ties.
I won't allow that woman to ruin Wu You's future...
and your marriage.
But Prince Li is...
With his temper, we can't force him to do anything.
It's all right. I won't work on Wu You.
Guards, ready the sedan to the General's Manor.
Yes.
-Your Majesty. -Greetings, Your Majesty.
-At ease. -Yes, Your Majesty.
I have some free time with me today.
I can go to General Fu's manor with you...
and show my caring to the General.
-Your Majesty, I was... -Enough chatter.
Ready the sedan to General Fu's manor.
Yes.
The General Fu is not seeing anyone. Get lost!
Bad guys. You are all bad guys!
The man inside is even worse!
Lady Rong Le asked me to tend to his wound.
But he sent his dogs on me.
What did you say?
I said, he set his watch dogs loose on me!
Ke, are you all right?
I am fine.
What about you? Are you all right?
I am fine.
But General Fu is...
He needs more than medicine for his heart.
The Princess couldn't get him the cure.
Ke, we might as well just leave him be.
Let's go.
Brother.
The Princess herself is ill,
why would she care about another person's life?
Ke.
Everyone in this world has their own way of living.
For the Princess, if someone helped her,
she will do her best to repay them.
She did the same for us.
Right, Ke. Didn't you say you have a cure for the Princess?
Yes. I will give it my all to save her life.
Miss Ling Yue, can you please tell me about her condition?
Chen Yu.
I feel like...
playing a lute wasn't so hard at all.
Judging by the way you played it,
perhaps you knew how to play it back in the days.
I am glad you are here to keep me company and cheer me up.
What is taking Ling Yue and the others so long?
Did Ke get herself into trouble again?
I am worried. I should go check on her.
His Majesty arrives!
I didn't know Your Majesty and the Empress are visiting.
I apologise for not welcoming Your Majesty.
Lady Rong Le, at ease.
While we were having a conversation,
I thought about you.
His Majesty is in the mood...
wanted to pay General Fu a visit.
He won't let anyone inform you, so we came uninvited.
I hope you are not offended.
At your service, Your Majesty and the Empress.
Greetings, Miss Sun.
At ease, General Fu.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
My wife came from a foreign country.
She never welcomed Your Majesty here.
If there was any lack of manner,
I am willing to take the punishment for her.
I was suddenly in the mood to pay you a visit.
Your wife showed us good manner,
befitting that of a noble.
She didn't cause you any trouble.
Recently, there are some rumours in the palace.
Rumour has it General Fu and Lady Rong Le...
are having a cold relationship.
Now that I see it for myself,
you two have great respect for each other,
a loving couple indeed.
It seems to me those rumours are all lies.
Your Majesty is right.
The matters between husband and wife...
can only be known by the couple themselves.
Besides, the matter of my family...
is not something an outsider...
should judge us for.
After the parting at the inn, how are you, Lady Rong Le?
Thank you, Miss Ya Li. I am fine.
If you are feeling unwell,
continue as always. Formality is not needed here.
Have your seats.
-Thank you, Your Majesty. -Yes.
I heard the melodies of a lute just now.
It seems like Lady Rong Le is feeling very well.
You have quite the quality time in your life.
General Fu has great skills when it comes to music.
It's known by all.
Can you play a song together?
I haven't had any song in such a long time.
I wouldn't dare to make a scene here.
The song from earlier was just part of the learning.
I am just a beginner, I am no expert in this.
If Lady Rong Le insists,
we shouldn't make it hard for her.
Perhaps I can play a song?
I know you learned from the master musician since your childhood.
You have great talent for music.
Why don't we let Ya Li present a song for us?
Let us witness her marvellous music.
I apologise. I wouldn't want to disrespect the hosts.
I have an idea.
Maybe General Fu can start playing.
I can play to his accompaniment.
Together, we can present Your Majesty a song.
Good. I have only ever heard about General Fu's talent in music.
But I have never seen it in person.
Your Majesty.
General Fu is an officer with high rank.
He cannot lower himself to be a mere performer.
His hands are supposed to wield swords and slay our enemies.
Even if he is playing the lute, a proper ceremony is needed.
He cannot play music for the sake of mere entertainment.
Lady Rong Le, you won't agree to any suggestions.
That is rude of you.
Don't you have any respect for the Emperor and me?
Your Majesty, please calm down.
I hope Miss Ya Li would play for us.
I may just be a beginner,
but I am willing to play to her accompaniment.
Very well.
I have heard about how crude and rude the people of Qi are.
They pay no attention to manners at all.
But to witness the music played by a lady from Western Qi...
could be rather interesting.
The people of Western Qi live on a barren land.
They learn about farming and martial art...
in order to keep the land safe.
Compared to them,
I am but a noble that contributed nothing to the land.
I learn to play a lute because of interest.
I have no right to speak for them.
I live in a foreign land and had no choice but to please the lords.
You...
What you said just now...
does carry the courage of turning down Prince Li at the main hall.
A pearl may be cover in dust,
but the shines will never fade.
Much appreciated, Your Majesty.
Miss Ya Li, if you may.
