♫ Last night, I was worried about you ♫
♫ This morning, luxuriant blooms are right in front of my eyes ♫
♫ Once I saw your graceful reflection, I was deeply enthralled ♫
♫ My love for you is so deep that fear is inevitable ♫
♫ Yet it is making me feign sanguinity ♫
♫ I have removed and discarded my body armor and helmet long ago ♫
♫ Only wish, forever and ever to whisper loving words in your ear ♫
♫ I am willing to forego immense prestige and glory for you ♫

[ Episode 12 ]
Mo Lian Cheng.
Okay already. Let's just talk once we're up there.
Don't touch me!
You big liar! Pervert and crazy man!
Tan'er, I also was forced by circumstances.
What 'forced by circumstances'?
Is it fun to keep fooling me like this?
Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were Mo Lian Cheng?
Do you know how scared I was?!
How helpless I felt?!
Bastard!
Okay already.
♫ To love or not, I started to not understand ♫
Quickly remove your clothes and dry them under the sun.
Be careful not to catch a cold.
What?
Are you still mad?
My heart will ache if you continue to act this way.
Why is your hand so cold?
If you still don't listen, I will undress you on your behalf.
Stinky pervert!
Don't touch me. I will remove them myself.
Be honest with me.
About what?
You tell me.
Why do you look exactly the same as 8th Prince?
Who are you really?
Where did you come from? Why must you hide it from me?
More importantly, how do we get back?
I saw you jump from the cliff, so I followed.
Never thought that there was a space warp in the sea.
From there, we ended up at this Dong Yue in a parallel universe.
But fortunately, you're here too.
Why did you hide it from me then?
You even pretended to be somebody like Liu Shang?
I did it to protect you.
If I let you learn my identity,
that 8th Prince will surely get the clues from you.
After all, in this world, no one knows him better than I do.
Why are you afraid that he might know?
What is your relationship with him?
Looking at you this way,
you two look really identical.
Didn't I already tell you that I'm him?
But... as his great-grandson?
No, I am him!
If you won't tell the truth, then forget it! I won't ask anymore!
Do you remember that I told you that story the 8th Prince and the 8th Princess Consort?
I'm that 8th Prince, and you're that 8th Princess Consort!
After a dangerous crisis, I lost you, so I went back to find you.
Who knew that I would return to a time when you didn't know me?
And then I wanted to just guard you, so I wouldn't lose you again. However, who knew that we'd return to this Dong Yue again?!
Anyway, we are destined to love each other.
Look. Now,
you came to this place in person. You should believe my words now.
If I start to believe in you again,
it means my brain is totally broken!
Talk.
I told you to talk--
Where did you go?
Where is he?
Don't worry, Tan'er.
I will not leave you again.
Who told you not to leave me again?
Oh, right, Mo Yi Huai seems to come from another world too.
Do you know that?
What did you say?
The first time I met him, I discovered that he has a pocket watch.
That pocket watch looked to have aged for a few years.
So it is very possible that he's not from here either.
Is it because of that, you went to see him?
Yes.
Not because he's handsome?
Since you mentioned it, he indeed is very handsome.
The next time I see him, I should have a really good look.
No. You can't go to him again.
Why not?
Because that pocket watch... was accidentally dropped by me at his place.
No wonder every time I try to communicate with him,
it never goes smoothly.
That wasted so much of my time.
What? Regretting that you don't have an excuse to see him now?
What rubbish are you saying?!
Even if I regret over it, it's still none of your business.
Fine. I won't interfere.
I'm going then.
You think you can scare me? I'm not falling for anymore of your tricks.
Go! Go! Hurry up.
Go quickly!
Go! If you're that great, then go. Don't come back.
You...
clearly don't want me to go, yet still acting tough.
You--
Don't worry.
I said that I will never leave you again.
Oh, right. Later, I'll take you back to the manor. Remember.
You mustn't tell anyone my identity, including Jing Xin.
But...
Okay already. I'll explain it to you next time.
You must remember this then,
I know about your vulnerability now.
Don't you dare offend me from now on!
What are you doing?!
That Liu Shang is quite handsome.
But he's actually just a mask. Too bad...
Say, why do you get such a good-looking face when you change your face?
You'd better be careful.
I feel that 8th Prince might have fallen for you.
I instead want to ask you,
did you fall in love with my mask,
so, you're using 8th Prince as an excuse to stay away?
Are you sick?
I am. I have a lovesickness.
And only you can cure it.
Quickly let me go.
This is occupational harassment.
I haven't even lectured you yet.
How many times have you peeped at me while I was taking a bath? How do we deal with that?
That was part of my duties.
Moreover, it was you who deliberately undressed for me to see.
Who is it?
Sir, it's me.
- What is it? - The Prince is back.
He's asking that you come see him in his study.
Quickly go.
Your Prince misses you.
Butler Zhou, may I trouble you to reply to His Highness
to wait for a moment.
There is a naughty rat on my bed.
I have to deal with it first.
There is a rat?!
I'll look for people to help you catch it.
No need.
I'm already very used to being with this rat.
I must personally deal with it.
I'll return to reply to Prince then.
That... sir, please hurry up then.
Quick! Quick! He asking for you to hurry up.
- You sure? - I'm sure.
What's wrong, little rat?
Are you waiting for me to deal with you?
Remember. Don't let Jing Xin and the others know my identity.
I got it.
Wait.
There is one more important thing. You must remember it.
From now on, I will never leave you again.
Greetings, 8th Prince.
May I learn the reason why you have so urgently asked me to come here?
I indeed have something to seek your guidance on.
Your Highness, please ask.
Sir, do you know that Yu Hao and I hurriedly left today
to arrest that evil ruffian who was disguising himself as me?
Was You Highness successful in capturing him?
Quite embarrassing. I allowed him to escape.
But, even though that imposter
had some resemblance in appearance to me,
I'm sure that he wasn't the person who committed the crime in my manor today.
This... I don't understand.
Why do you have such a suspicion?
Can you tell me in detail what that criminal did today?
First, that criminal
looked very similar to me in terms of appearance and body figure.
Even in speech and demeanor, you couldn't find any mistake.
Even 14th Brother, Yu Hao,
and those close to me, didn't notice any difference.
But that person today couldn't even fool
my soldiers.
What Prince means is that there are two imposters?
What do you think?
Based on what you said, I would boldly speculate
that the incident today
was purposely orchestrated by that person to confuse everybody. In my opinion,
if the true impersonator could even fool 14th Prince and Yu Hao,
then that person may not just be simply using a mask.
Maybe, he really does look identical to Your Highness.
Although I have no way of knowing that person's real motive,
based on all the indications of what took place, I suspect
that he doesn't appear to be an enemy of Your Highness.
Maybe, it's possible that he has some other predicament.
Or maybe, that person is indeed Your Highness himself.
That is also possible.
This will depend if you believe in fantasies.
He is me? Absurd.
How could I believe in magic?
But based on what you said before,
I instead think
that you know very well what that criminal thinks in his mind.
However, whatever his motive is,
don't worry. He surely not escape my palm.
This is the item Your Highness lost in the water.
Seeing that Your Highness left in such haste, I went into the water to find it for you.
Appreciate the trouble you went through.
This item was given to me by Royal Father.
It would be pitiful if it got lost.
You're worried that if His Majesty asks about this item in the future,
it might invite unnecessary trouble, right?
Sir, you have sharp eyes.
Right now, Royal Father only favors Royal Noble Consort Dugu.
Even as a prince,
it's still extremely difficult to meet with my Royal Father.
Your Highness doesn't need to be saddened by that. Even though His Majesty is beguiled by Royal Noble Consort Dugu,
no one can obstruct the love between you two as father and son.
If Your Highness is anxious to express your familial affection for your father,
I might have a good suggestion.
Please provide me with your guidance.
Based on what I know, the current King is well known for his benevolence and filial piety,
and it just so happens today is a festival day.
His Majesty will surely be paying the Queen Dowager a visit.
As long as the Queen Dowager is willing to help, you can use this opportunity to see His Majesty at the palace of Queen Dowager.
This way, you can fulfill your filial duties to His Majesty.
Secondly, you both can express your feelings as father and son.
What Scholar suggests has merit. I happened to be muddled about this.
Let's not waste time. I will write a letter now.
I will order Yu Hao to enter the Palace and deliver it to the Queen Dowager.
[Commercial Break Episode continues at 17:11 mark]
Come... Drink...
Are you trying to get me drunk
so that I will tell the truth afterward, right?
Are you sure you can beat me in drinking?
Then, we will know if we give it a try.
Let me ask you then.
If you feel that I'm not the 8th Prince,
why then do I look exactly like him?
And why is my name also Mo Lian Cheng?
And why is it that I met you just by chance?
And why
are you and I here like in my story?
I even look the same as Qu Tan'er.
There is only a difference of one character in our names.
But am I Qu Tan'er?
Not, right?
Where is she then?
Tan'er...
she really could be gone.
Actually, when you were in Dong Yue last time,
she was still around. The two of you shared one body.
But this time, maybe, because of space and time distortion,
she disappeared.
Qu Tan'er.
Tan'er.
Actually, I wanted so much to stop you
from getting involved with the fate of Dong Yue.
That way, we wouldn't be separated anymore.
But I couldn't stop it.
You still came here.
Perhaps, it's destiny.
However, I already thought it through. No matter what happens,
whether it's in the past or in the future,
you and I are destined to fall in love.
You make it sound so nice,
with things like protecting me or it being fate,
as if I am fated to be together with you.
You never asked me
what I want. Did you ever ask how I felt?
I don't want to have anything to do
with you and Dong Yue.
I just want to sell my houses,
earn money, and live a stable and normal life.
♫ Let the obsessions turn into acting tough, why still think about it? ♫
Tan'er...
I know,
ever since we met, although I was careful,
I still wasn't able to completely consider your feelings.
But have you ever thought about
what kind of mindset I have been in facing you?
To face someone who was once someone that I loved so deeply?
And now, the "you" who doesn't trust or love me at all?
Do you know how painful it's been for me?
How helpless I feel?
I remember the time that you saved me,
you just called me Tan'er instinctively,
right?
Am I Tan'er?
I am Qu Xiao Tan. Even if the story you said was true
then you're just like Mo Yi Huai who also sees me as Qu Tan'er.
Regardless, how touching your story is,
you didn't experience it with me.
Who you were thinking about in your heart was always Qu Tan'er, right?
If you put it that way, you have then really undervalued
my sincere feelings for you.
You also have undervalued the true love Royal Brother has toward Lady Qu.
Even last time when you two were sharing the same body,
I could tell which one was you (Xiao Tan).
Never mind now.
I didn't experience these things with you.
She and you went through so much.
I don't know anything about it.
Silly girl,
it turns out that you're getting jealous of yourself.
♫ Unable to penetrate through that cold ice at the heart's bottom ♫
If I say you're silly,
how am I not also?
All right.
Today, I'll drink with you until I get drunk.
Why do you have this habit of screaming while you sleep?
If I encounter a thug, then, of course, I have to scream!
Be quiet.
Do you want everyone to know that you slept here last night?
Then... you... I...
last night did we...
I drank too much. I've forgotten.
You--
What's wrong? Are you mad?
Rot! Of course, I'm mad!
Then, are you mad about what happened
or because nothing happened?
Stinky thug! I'm leaving!
Bye-bye!
You usually sleep until very late. Why have you come to Snow Villa this early today?
I...
Your Highness has come here in person. May I know for what reason?
Tan'er's clothing seems to be the same ones as yesterday.
She didn't change.
I washed all of my clothes, so I had nothing to change into.
I'll go back first to get something. I'll return immediately.
Your Highness, why don't we go to your study to talk?
No need. Since I'm already here at Snow Villa,
let's just talk inside your place.
I received news from the Palace yesterday,
that Royal Father will visit the Queen Dowager at her palace.
I then followed what you suggested
and immediately went there.
But...
Could it be that there were people planted by Royal Noble Consort Dugu in the side palace also?
Indeed there were.
When I arrived, Royal Father had already left.
Queen Dowager told me
that just when I was about to arrive,
a Palace maid came to inform Royal Father
that Royal Noble Consort Dugu was not feeling well.
Royal Father then hurriedly left.
That Royal Noble Consort Dugu has set up such a defense that even a drop of water can't penetrate.
If this continues
and I remain unable to see Royal Father,
how can I accurately
guess his intentions?
Your Highness, you don't need to be too worried about this.
As long as Royal Noble Consort Dugu remains childless, it's impossible to prevent His Majesty from still seeing his sons.
But even this unborn prince will not become a threat to Your Highness.
How then can I meet with Royal Father?
Since Royal Noble Consort Dugu is guarding against Your Highness this tightly,
we can only come up with a plan to compel His Majesty to eagerly ask for you himself.
What good idea do you have?
Prince, for you to clean your face.
I've already finished washing. Leave now.
Scholar, why don't you wash your face then?
I appreciate Tan'er's thoughtfulness,
but there's no need.
Sir, no need to be too courteous. Come. Let me wash it for you.
- Miss Tan'er, there's really no need. - Sir, come. Don't be shy.
- Miss Tan'er... I really don't need it. - Come, sir. Just wipe your face.
- This... Miss Tan'er... - Sir, let me wipe it for you.
Tan'er, stop it!
How dare you be this unruly to Scholar!
Quickly apologize to him!
I'm just serving him as my duty calls. What did I do wrong?
Was I too tolerant with you?
How dare you talk back to me? Today,
I'm punishing you to face the wall and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to come here and attend to Scholar.
I'll just come back tomorrow then.
- You can't come tomorrow either! - Why not?
Tomorrow, you will accompany me when I go to the Palace.
Do I have to go?
No.
If His Highness tells you to go, then just go.
Or else, while His Highness is not in the manor, that will be leaving us alone together,
and he will not be at ease.
Leave first.
Go make the preparations for the visit to the Palace tomorrow.
Yes.
Sir, why did you say such words?
I'm not worried about anything.
What I mean is, if Your Highness is not in the manor to supervise,
Miss Tan'er will surely be more unruly.
You are worried that Miss Tan'er might become too disrespectful with me.
Could it be that Your Highness interpreted it differently from what I meant?
What you said is correct. Why don't I use this chance
to change the maid attending to you?
No need. A maid who too restrained
will make me feel more uneasy.
Miss Tan'er suits my taste perfectly.
Your Highness, you said earlier that you want to enter the Palace tomorrow?
You were right. I mustn't just sit and wait for my doom.
I must be aggressive in seeking an audience with Royal Father.
You indeed must see His Majesty,
but if you directly seek an audience,
you surely won't be able to see him.
You said earlier to make Royal Father eager to ask for me.
Right.
Your Highness, please listen to me explain it in detail.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Thank you for saving my life.
Have you recovered from your injuries?
Thanking Your Highness for your concern.
My health is without any serious ailment.
Now, can you tell me where the Soul Suppressing Orb is?
Replying to Your Highness, the Soul Suppressing Orb is now in His Majesty's hands.
You're really something, Qu Pan'er!
You wasted my efforts to get you out of prison.
Could you be toying with me?!
I beg for Your Highness's wisdom.
The Orb is in His Majesty's hands right now
For your Highness, that is better than for it to be in anyone else's possession.
What do you mean?
Because in the whole of Dong Yue
there is no other person more accommodating to Your Highness than His Majesty.
If that's the case, then what's the point of keeping you?
Perhaps Your Highness doesn't know that
this orb has a magical effect,
but only people from my Qu Clan can unseal it.
Reporting to Your Majesty, the 8th Prince
just delivered in person, this present for you.
Where is he?
His Highness said that he didn't want to disturb Your Majesty from resting, hence he didn't seek an audience.
He presented the gift and then left in a hurry.
Since little, I wasn't favored by the former Emperor.
Hence, I really desired to earn my Royal Father's affection.
Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
It appears that I've somewhat neglected my sons.
Eunuch Xue, immediately call for the 8th Prince.
I will abide by your order.
Son, you're very thoughtful.
You're so useless! What's the point of keeping you?
Your Highness, please forgive me! 8th Prince didn't seek an audience with His Majesty at the time.
He just left after delivering the present,
so I didn't report it to you.
I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, his efforts...
I don't know why His Majesty called for the 8th Prince to come again.
Hence, I immediately came to inform you.
That 8th Prince is really good at scheming.
Immediately go to the Royal Study and tell His Majesty that I got exposed to cold air today.
I suddenly felt unwell, and my child might be in danger.
Let His Majesty immediately come over to check. Hurry and go!
Yes.
Greetings, Royal Father.
Wishing Royal Father good health.
Son, hurry and arise.
Thank you, Royal Father.
Son, I understand your feelings.
I appreciated your thoughtfulness to be so considerate and so filial.
This made me appear a bit too uncharitable.
Royal Father, no such thing. I know that you are busy with state affairs.
As your subject, I was unable to always stay by your side and share the burden with you.
I should be more understanding of Royal Father's hardships.
With you having such thoughts, I feel so comforted.
Royal Father, Royal Noble Consort has been pregnant for quite some time. Is her health all right?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Reporting to Your Majesty,
Royal Noble Consort isn't feeling well! May Your Majesty quickly go to see her!
Wasn't she still doing well this morning? Just what happened?
I fear that Her Highness might have been exposed to the cold and continues to suffer from a headache.
I was worried about disturbing you, so I didn't inform you.
But earlier, Her Highness' illness seemed to have worsened and she almost fainted.
I-I... then quickly rushed here to inform Your Majesty.
Why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry and bring me over there.
Eunuch Xu, summon the Royal Physician.
Yes.
