[ Episode 13 ]
Stop right there.
What are all these?
Replying to the 8th Prince, these were all prepared for the Imperial Consort.
There are ginseng, turtle, and crab.
Is Royal Noble Consort's health well? Why does she need so many items?
Royal Noble Consort is pregnant. The Royal Physician said that she needs the supplemental nutrition and must eat these every day.
Supplemental nutrition...
Could it be the fetus is unstable?
I'm not sure of that.
I am just a palace maid working in the Royal Kitchen.
I just know that every time when I sent things over to the Imperial Consort,
I would see Her Highness feel dizzy and vomit non-stop.
It must be that the fetus in her womb is very healthy and just loves to torment her.
Then does Royal Father visit the Imperial Consort often?
Your Highness, you must be joking. His Majesty and Her Highness Royal Noble Consort are very much in love.
He goes to her palace every day.
You may leave first.
Yes.
This is too strange.
Tan'er, what did you say?
In my real estate office, there's a female colleague named Yang Shuo.
When she was pregnant, she wouldn't dare eat crabs,
because they contain too much cold energy.
Also, whenever her body had any reaction from her pregnancy, she would avoid us.
Thinking about it. Which woman would allow other people to see this ugly side of her?
However, that Palace maid from the kitchen
could see her when she was dizzy and vomiting all the time.
It's just too strange.
Moreover, I saw from the television shows that
women in the palace pay a lot of attention and care in their pregnancy.
But this Royal Noble Consort doesn't care about any restrictions at all.
Every night she and His Majesty...
sleep together.
Tan'er knows quite a lot,
but this so-called female colleague who you talk about
and television show, what do they mean?
They are just people I know and shows that I've watched.
Tan'er, you are indeed naughty. Even the shows you watch are so indecent.
However, there must be something wrong with this pregnancy of Royal Noble Consort Dugu.
Tell Scholar Liu Shang about this matter immediately.
Oh no.
Yan'er, your eyes are like a night sky full of stars.
They are elegant and remote, yet intoxicating.
You forgot the rules again.
Your Highness, please forgive me.
The night bell has sounded. His Majesty will soon be coming to your chamber.
I will take my leave.
If tonight it doesn't work, you are sure to die.
Reporting to Your Highness, I have important matters to report.
Hurry up and leave.
Yes.
What is it?
He's always going against me.
If Mo Lian Cheng isn't eliminated, I will never have any peace.
Your Highness, calm down. 8th Prince is just chasing the wind and clutching at shadows. He really doesn't have any valid proof.
We only need Royal Physician Gao to keep his mouth tightly shut, you then can sleep without worry.
Based on the time, His Majesty will be here soon.
I will make some tea for Your Highness and Scholar.
- No need. - No need.
Tan'er, light some fragrance incense.
Yes.
Just like you predicted, the situation in the Palace is very critical.
Dugu Yan's status has been elevated because of her child. She's using it as a way to block
and keep hindering me from seeing Royal Father.
And then I followed your strategy and offered the painting to Royal Father showing the filial piety of a son to his father.
Royal Father was indeed moved after seeing it and immediately called for me.
However, unfortunately, Royal Noble Consort has spies all over the Palace.
Shortly after His Highness and His Majesty just got reunited, she interrupted it again.
Liu Shang is actually meddling with the drinking of His Highness?
And His Highness actually stopped drinking.
This is totally showing off their bromance love right in front of me.
Your Highness, do not despair. For Dugu Yan to try so hard just to hinder you, shows how much she fears you.
Even if that witch had direct access to the sky, she can never cover the sky with just her hands.
She surely has a weakness. If we can find it, we surely can turn the tide around and win with one strike.
The weakness of Dugu Yan...
Tan'er, tell Scholar everything that you saw and heard in the Palace today.
For others, I can't be sure.
But as the Sherlock Holmes of the foodie circle,
I feel that the eating habits of Royal Noble Consort are very intriguing.
Getting back to the main topic, when women are pregnant, they will avoid certain foods.
For the fetus in their womb, no matter how gluttonous a person is, she will avoid eating any risky food.
This is something that a commoner can easily do, so for Dugu Yan as the Royal Noble Consort...
If those scenes in the Palace TV dramas are true, that is,
Royal Consorts all rely on having sons to elevate their status.
Then she would be even more attentive to the safety of her child.
Why then would she give an order to eat crabs?
Also... don't misunderstand. I only heard from someone else about this experience.
When a woman is pregnant, she'd never sleep with her man in the meantime.
But, Dugu Yan shows no restraint at all.
She's clapping for love every night.
Why does Liu Shang understand all the strange words that Tan'er says, but I don't?
Parents usually treat their child
like a priceless treasure.
That's right.
A child is the most precious gift in this world.
Scholar's words seem to very sincere. Are you missing your own child?
Your Highness, you have sharp eyes. I am indeed missing my wife and child, whom I deeply love.
What Miss Tan'er said is very true. There is no one in this world that does not love their child more than their own lives.
I'm fortunate to be an important guest of Your Highness in your manor. It's my honor to share your burden and worries.
But every night in my dreams,
the thing that I can't forget the most are still those beautiful moments that I spent with my loving wife.
My loving wife has always been very energetic and not petty,
but sometimes, she would be very cautious.
When she ate, she'd be unhappy if there was nothing spicy. But when she got pregnant, she kept her food plain tasting only.
Until the last moment of her life, the thing she worried most about was still our child.
Such a sincere and deep love. May I ask where your family is now?
My child is in another world. My loving wife...
doesn't remember me anymore.
Why does this story about him and another person,
make me feel so sad in my heart?
Yu Hao.
It is late. Escort Tan'er back to her room.
Yes. Lady Tan'er, please.
I will take my leave now.
Sir.
Your Highness, please forgive me from losing my composure. Let's go back to our discussion.
If what Tan'er said is true, that pregnancy is indeed questionable.
Since Scholar also agrees with what Tan'er said,
the vulnerability to topple Dugu Yan must be that child.
It's just that this matter concerns the Royal Harem. As a prince, I shouldn't interfere there too much.
If I don't have any hard evidence, this can only remain as conjecture.
Because I broke the rules of time and space, it brought about a lot of changes in Dong Yue.
But the feudal order of human relationship will never get easily changed.
From what I know, Dugu Yan has never born any child for Royal Father.
Dugu Yan must be scheming a false pregnancy.
Scholar, you said it so surely. Have you come up with a countermeasure?
When the right time arrives, I will report it to Your Highness.
The night is late. I will take my leave now.
Scholar, please wait. That day, I carelessly dropped my ring into the water...
Afterward, I entered the city to catch the culprit.
How were you able to find it for me?
Why don't you ask Miss Tan'er?
Miss Tan'er is very intelligent. If she was ordered by Your Highness to monitor me,
she should report it back to you.
I will take my leave.
[8th Prince Manor]
Who is it? Why is he in the study this early?
Your Highness, greetings!
I finished my morning lessons at 5 a.m. This hour is already not considered early.
An academic overlord is indeed different.
What is the meaning of an academic overlord?
Replying to Your Highness, academic refers to succeeding from learning.
Overlord means emitting an air of dominance.
When you merge them together, it means
that when he studies, he emits an air of complete dominance.
Just like when Your Highness was little, you already succeeded in completing such an outstanding painting.
You are indeed an academic overlord worthy of the title.
I've never said that I did this painting when I was young. How did you know?
When you're still not fully awake, you indeed shouldn't casually fawn over people.
What do I do now?
Should I tell him that it was actually Mo Lian Cheng who painted this painting?
And that he is Your Highness,
but... he just got dropped here from the future?
Once I say those words, he's really going to regard me as a crazy person.
Replying to Your Highness, I was just guessing.
Did I really get it right?
Also, why did you come here this early just to look at your own painting?
I intend to put this painting away
and not let it be seen again.
I painted this Dragon In Clouds painting when I was young.
My mental state then was too over-elaborate.
I expressed my grand aspirations through the strokes of my brush.
I also didn't have the patience that I do today.
Those who achieve grand accomplishments know to wait for the right time.
No one must see this painting
and come to know my ambitious intent.
The Prince's words are the same as what Mo Lian Cheng said!
If I really am the only one who heard it,
then doesn't that mean that Mo Lian Cheng really is the future 8th Prince?
The crazier thing is that they both are appearing in Dong Yue at the same time!
This has the makings of a sci-fi blockbuster.
I'm reminiscing about the past.
But why are you smiling?
No matter how bold I am, I wouldn't dare laugh at Your Highness!
It's just... I suddenly remembered what Scholar Liu Shang said.
I didn't think much of it then,
but now that I think about it, I find it quite interesting!
I told you to watch Liu Shang,
not to keep him in your heart!
Have I been too good to you lately?
You dare to mention another man in front of me?
Don't you understand my heart?
Your Highness, I...!
I won't force you.
I want your heart
to completely and fully belong to me.
Your Highness... this is too complex.
I can't explain it at the moment!
You don't need to rush your answer me.
I am willing to wait until the very end.
Just now... was that a confession?
Does he have to be so arrogant about confessing too?
But... why was I thinking only about Mo Lian Cheng just now?
I couldn't have...?
Qu Xiao Tan! Wake yourself up!
Mo Lian Cheng repeatedly plays tricks on you.
A cranky prince and a stuck up loner!
They're a perfect match!
And they are now their own lost selves after so many years.
That... it's quite touching, actually!
Qu Jiang Ling was exiled but able to achieve merit as a sinner.
You didn't forget to share the burden of the kingdom and citizens of Dong Yue. I feel so comforted.
I'm offering this toast to the Yong Ye Kingdom.
The treatment of a sinner can be so generous. Indeed Dong Yue is magnanimous like every great kingdom.
To become allies with Dong Yue is the honor of our Yong Ye Kingdom.
If we can add another layer of familial ties to this,
the prosperity of our two nations would be there for an eternity.
Royal Brother, what is the matter?
- 8th Brother, what is the matter? - I should be asking you that.
Why do you keep staring at my woman?
Stop lying to yourself.
I'm looking at Tan'er,
clearly because she is looking at me too.
Your Highnesses, there is no need for argument,
because Miss Tan'er's eyes are currently focused on me.
It seems that you two have to see
the deep affection between me and Tan'er.
Old Tie... I mean...
Eldest Prince, I made a mistake in the past.
You are not the one I was looking for.
It's caused us to be penpals for nothing.
I'm sorry! It was my mistake!
Tan'er! What are you saying?
Tan'er! Come back over here.
There will be some time until the banquet starts.
If you are hungry, try the osmanthus cake I specifically had it prepared for you.
Tan'er prefers food with a light flavor. She has never liked ordinary snacks such as osmanthus cake.
Osmanthus cake, don't listen to him.
You re not some ordinary snack. You're the most delicious.
Thank you, Your Highness!
Miss Tan'er.
While moving around the Palace,
you will definitely run into crafty people.
Keep this jade pendant by your side.
It will protect you.
Thank you, sir!
Wow... it's so pretty!
Your Majesty, why don't we have the Eldest Prince and the Eighth Prince compete against each other?
It has been a long time since they last competed.
I am announcing that my sons will compete in archery tomorrow!
First, it is to pay respect to the envoy from the Yong Ye Kingdom.
Second, I want to see what you can both do
and whether you have improved or not.
- I accept your order. - I accept your order.
However... all my children are talented in various things.
It's difficult to determine the prize for the competition right away.
Your Majesty! I have an idea.
Please go ahead, my beloved.
Since Your Majesty praised Lord Qu just now,
why not have his beloved daughter, Qu Tan'er,
to be the prize for this competition?
Have the Eldest Prince and the Eighth Prince compete in archery.
The winner will marry Qu Tan'er as a concubine.
The two princes are outstanding fighters.
No matter who wins, to Qu Tan'er,
it will be a good thing.
It can also show Your Majesty's
grace and benevolence to the Qu family.
My beloved is intelligent.
Granted!
Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Yu Hao, what happened?
The Prince has always been punctual but today he has not yet come out of his bed chambers.
There's something strange about this. We can't worry about the protocol anymore.
Your Highness!
Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!
Yu Hao.
Come on, Your Highness.
Your Highness, wake up.
Oh no, I'm doomed.
Today it's the most important day that will determine my life.
If His Highness still doesn't wake up, not only will I get married off to someplace else,
His Majesty will surely interrogate and punish me for this.
That's right. Yu Hao, take Tan'er to the archery range first.
Placate His Majesty and don't make him suspicious.
Let me take care of this, I'll definitely be able to wake up His Highness.
Then I'll leave His Highness to you, sir.
Lady Tan'er, let's go.
Let's go. Hurry.
It is indeed a Western Region Bee Sting.
Anyone who is poisoned by it will sleep for at least a week!
We're doomed. We are doomed. Why has His Highness still not come back yet?
Scholar will surely wake up His Highness. Let us wait a little longer.
The pre-competition incense that I lighted will be extinguished soon. Why is my 8th son still not here?
Your Majesty, I did not dare to say much yesterday. To have Qu Tan'er as the prize,
perhaps the Eighth Prince's standards are too high and he looks down on my suggestion,
so that is why he dares to offend Your Majesty.
- His Highness finally rushed over. - Your Highness.
Are you all right, Your Highness?
It was nothing.
Greetings, Royal Father.
Hurry up and rise.
Yes.
I heard that the archery range in the southwestern forest frequently has wild beasts roaming around.
I worried about King Father's safety,
so I was late because I went around the archery range to check and dispel any wild animals first.
I beg for your forgiveness, Royal Father.
Your intention is filial. How could I blame you?
I announce that the competition will begin!
Thank you, Royal Father.
Last night, he clearly got inflicted with the Western Region Bee Sting. How could he still appear here?
His Majesty has made Tan'er the prize.
I didn't protest because I will surely win.
If this competition can make Royal Older Brother give up, I am willing to play until the end.
You are speaking too soon, 8th Brother. I will not let you win.
Your Highness, you finally came.
Of course, I had to come.
His Highness definitely cannot lose to Mo Yi Huai.
If I am sent to the Eldest Prince Manor, with Qu Pan'er being there,
won't I get peeled and eaten alive on the same day?
His 8th Highness must win.
My little life is depending on you.
Please focus! Now is not the time to play around!
