[Recap of previous episode]
[ Episode 25 ]
Crown Prince, your strategy of distraction worked so well.
The guards at the 8th Prince Manor, upon hearing the ambush on 8th Brother,
all left their posts to hurry and provide reinforcements. (Royal Command Token)
The Royal Command Token was then extremely easy to get!
9th Brother's acquisition after the attack
is far less valuable than the spoils I received by using that distraction.
Now, the only thing missing in defeating 8th Brother is just the right window of opportunity.
I told you to investigate the attempted assassination on Royal Father.
Have you made any progress?
This secret letter was written personally by Dugu Yan for the assassin at that time.
It will prove that Royal Father's attempted assassination
was a plot by Dugu Yan
to frame Mo Lian Cheng.
[Order of Assassination ]
The Royal Consort always acted with such care and caution,
how could she leave behind such an important piece of evidence?
From the beginning, Hong Shuntang, by upholding the banner of restoring his home kingdom,
was given the critical mission, by Dugu Yan, to assassinate our Royal Father.
Yet Dugu Yan, as their sacrifice to their kingdom, forced all of them to die which caused everyone else to flee.
Two among them were captured by Eunuch Hu, Dugu Yan's trusted supporter.
To protect their leader's life, they falsely claimed to him that the secret decree had already been destroyed.
I found this out during my investigation and was able to obtain the written order.
This is very important, so others must not learn of it.
A sword has two different edges.
I will definitely accomplish what Dugu Yan could not.
This junk of 8th Brother's is not far from being capsized.
[8th Prince Manor]
Scholar was injured because of me.
And I can't even touch him.
Your Highness, your body is mine.
Also, I'm the one who doesn't belong here.
Perhaps the crisis today
can be the trigger to lead to a turnaround.
But, there is something I must say.
or else... I can't bear to leave!
That is... you must protect Tan'er's safety for her entire life!
Cheng Cheng!
Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng!
Your Highness, Butler Zhou said someone snuck into the manor during the chaos.
After an investigation, the Royal Command Token was found to have been stolen.
I will leave investigating that to you.
Did you find Senior Liu?
Senior Liu is waiting outside.
But he said he'll only enter if Lady Tan'er asks.
Then you can leave first. Keep watch outside. Don't let anyone interrupt us.
Yes.
Old Weirdo!
Coming in here after you called me like that, I'm being treated as just too worthless by far!
Even if an Imperial Emperor wants to invite me in, he needs to call three tim--
No, at least four times before I will accept.
Old Weirdo! Am I still your Tribe Leader?
One wrong word can still get me ten years of servitude!
Tribe Leader? What does that mean?
You-- You still don't understand
what you need to do the most?
Tan'er. Go and rest first.
I... will definitely save him.
Cheng Cheng!

I don't know if you confused me with some character from another dimension.

It seems what he said was all true.
Perhaps, he really is the future me.
It appears that your energy flow was of great benefit to him.
This brat is alright right now,
but you were frowning a moment ago.
Did you see some images?
I saw many things.
It's hard to say if it was the past or the future.
[8th Prince Manor]
At that time, thank goodness I used my brains!
You had almost stopped breathing. I immediately took off your mask.
And then... I...
And then you gave me mouth to mouth resuscitation?
Thankfully you didn't. Or I may have really died!
It seems that the affection between Tan'er and Scholar is not as good as I thought.
Your Highness, you've misunderstood.
When Liancheng and I saw each other for the first time, we--
You called him a "damn sissy."
You bastard! You told him that too?
Last night, when Scholar and I were joined in spirit,
I saw some of what happened between you two.
Such as when you fell in love, when you slept together,
when you were separated, and when you were reunited.
I know it all very well.
Y-You... saw everything?
Why do I have this feeling of being bullied?
However... there is something I don't understand.
"Damn Sissy" (Si Niang Pao)... is that a future term to express affection?
You are right, Your Highness.
"Damn Sissy (Si Niang Pao)"..."Si" means "very,"
and "Niang" means mother-in-law;
"Pao"... It represents
an aerial cannon that hits its target with one blast.
So "Si Niang Pao" when used all together means...
a person who the mother-in-law really likes.
Amazing how you talk trash while looking so serious.
Then... what about Tan'er asking for a divorce letter.
Is that also a way to express love?
It's like this.
Tan'er always has surprising ideas.
So...her hobbies are also quite unique.
On the night of our wedding,
she insisted that I marry and remarry her repeatedly to be satisfied!
Mo Lian Cheng!
I can't kill a patient! I must go somewhere else to calm down!
No one is allowed to follow me!
[Commercial Break Episode continues at 14:34 mark]
Yu Hao. Go watch her closely. Follow her every step.
Liar with such a rotten tongue! Your whole family can go to hell!
My lungs really have good volume.
You--
Lady Tan'er!
What?
I was not capable. I beg for Your Highness's forgiveness.
Has Tan'er been found?
It's my fault. I shouldn't have provoked her like that.
The priority now is to find her.
If Tan'er is in the Crown Prince's hands, she shouldn't be in mortal danger.
Eunuch Xue has arrived!
Please.
Eighth Prince.
Scholar Liu Shang.
Scholar Liu Shang,
His Majesty has an edict calling for your attendance at the Imperial Palace.
May I ask the reason for Royal Father's edict.
How can I speculate about His Majesty's thinking?
Please, sir.
Don't worry.
Hai'er told me yesterday
that you sacrificed your own life to save 8th Prince.
He talked about it for the entire two hours.
I only knew before that you are superb in your skill in crafting strategies.
I didn't realize you also excel in intelligence and courage.
Your Majesty and the Crown Prince think too highly of a commoner like me. I can't bear the burden of such praise.
Protect Royal Father! Hurry!
Tan'er!
Tan'er! Tan'er! Wake up!
Tan'er! Tan'er! Tan'er! Hurry and wake up!
Tan'er! Tan'er! Tan'er! Tan'er! Hurry and wake up!
Tan'er! Tan'er!
Tan'er! Hurry and wake up! Tan'er!
Tan'er!
I beg for Royal Father's forgiveness.
The incident of an assassination attempt in the Royal Garden
was planned purposefully by me,
because I knew Liu Shang's true identity long ago.
I did not wish Royal Father to remain deceived by such a lie.
That is why I was compelled to come up with this plan.
8th Brother proved his innocence very quickly regarding the assassination attempt on you.
However, based on what we see now, we couldn't be certain
whether someone bore false witness on that day.
Royal Father, even though Scholar Liu Shang and 8th Brother resemble each other in appearance,
it couldn't have been Scholar Liu Shang on that day.
Besides, there hasn't been any conclusion
drawn about the assassin's identity.
Royal Father, I heard
that when Royal Father was checking 8th brother's chest for wounds,
he found that his chest has an old scar.
We only need them both to uncover their chests at this time and all will be made clear.
Then let's do it according to 9th's suggestion.
Your Highness.
I'll do it.
Your Majesty, the one who served as proof was me,
but the assassin was someone else.
The assassination attempt was the trap they set up.
Their goal was to frame the 8th Prince.
I ask for your wisdom to clarify it.
8th Brother tried to kill Royal Father and used a double to prove his innocence.
Now, the evidence is complete.
Royal Father, please arrest and send these two traitors to jail right away!
Cheng'er, you used a double to prove your absence.
You were also the main suspect in the assassination crime.
I have to imprison you and await the investigation.
Royal Father! Scholar Liu Shang wasn't the one who impersonated 8th Brother. He is actually--
14th! Don't talk nonsense!
Also, Cheng'er,
since you are a suspect of a crime right now. Hand over your Royal Command Token.
Royal Father. The Royal Command Token
was stolen a few days ago and is still missing now.
What nonsense! How could you lose something so vitally important?
Right now, I will imprison both of you!
All listen!
Without my order, no one is allowed to come near!
Xiao Tan! You're finally awake!
Do you feel unwell?
Jing Xin... what happened?
I only remember someone knocked me out with some powder.
I don't remember what happened after that!
Framed by others and imprisoned in jail.
This must be the future you talked about.
It seems that fate is set and cannot be changed.
Fate is not set in stone. There is only hope if you stay alive.
As long as you are alive, things can be changed.
You must not give up.
We've worked hard to countermand it for so long.
If we give up now, that would make all our efforts in vain.
Even if it's for Tan'er,
you have to remain strong until the moment when fate changes the circumstances.
Greetings to 8th Prince.
Just be frank.
Your Highness, the old saying says that "Hares may pull dead lions by the beard."
You don't know how superior and petty these jailers can be.
How about handing over some goods
and allow me to take care of you?
So you want to get something out of this. Do you think you will be able to pay it back?
Still thinking about getting out of here?
Let me be frank. People call this place, the divide between the worlds of the living and the dead.
No one leaves here alive!
Where is Cheng Cheng?
Xiao Tan, promise me. Don't be anxious after you hear my words.
Hurry and answer me!
After that person knocked you out, he took you to the Royal Garden and pushed you into the pond.
To save you, Scholar Liu Shang revealed his identity.
At this time...
At this time he and 8th Prince have both been cast into prison!
It was all a plot! Someone planned all this!
They used me to expose Cheng Cheng!
No! I must go to save them!
Xiao Tan! Don't be rash!
Break them out of prison! Yes, break them out of prison!
I saw so many dramas about prison breaks!
There must be a way to save them!
You must not!
Xiao Tan, listen to me! The 14th Prince has already gone to see the Queen Dowager
to discuss a way to save them!
So, there should be a result very soon!
I can't wait that long!
Your Majesty, as for the assassination matter,
if the 8th Prince was innocent,
why would he use a double to prove that he was not at the scene?
It's my thought that the treacherous intent by 8th Prince is apparent and obvious for all to see.
He cannot be spared. He should be executed.
We agree.
Royal Father. Even though 8th Brother may have had the idea of an insurrection, his guilt does not merit his life.
It would be sufficient to lock him away so that he can never get involved with the affairs of the Royal Court.
This way, even if 8th Brother had any other disloyal thoughts,
he would not be able to create any trouble.
Your Highness, previously you mentioned that when we were joined in spirit,
you saw when Tan'er and I fell in love and slept together.
I've already told you about that.
I wanted to ask... you didn't see everything, did you?
How could I be such a person with no shame?
I only saw some parts.
Thankfully he missed the main parts.
However... besides seeing your love with Tan'er,
I also know that you had a chance to return to Tan'er's world,
but to eliminate those evildoers
and save Dong Yue, you stayed in this time period.
Also, you've repeatedly saved me and put yourself in danger.
I shouldn't have suspected your intentions.
From today on, I will definitely remain with you
united in our hearts to defend Dong Yue.
I'm afraid... I cannot fight on with you.
I don't belong to this time period. I might disappear at any time.
If that day really comes,
please take good care of Tan'er.
Tan'er is naive and innocent.
However, this world is filled with dangers and people with corrupt intentions.
I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.
I'm afraid she'll be bullied.
Your Highness,
promise me... If one day I am not around anymore,
you must keep Tan'er safe for her entire life.
Your Highness,
His Majesty has rewarded you with this abundant and delicious meal in consideration of his paternal love for you.
This is indeed the food I like to eat.
It seems that Your Highness must endure a bit.
Mo Yi Huai will use any and all tactics to kill us.
Deliver my edict.
The 8th Prince, Mo Lian Cheng, was disloyal and committed treacherous acts.
He attempted to steal the throne and deserves to be executed.
Effective at once, he is to be imprisoned for life.
Wait!
Greetings, Queen Dowager.
On the day you were attacked, Cheng'er entered the palace under a royal summons!
Someone must have faked a royal summons to frame Cheng'er!
Your Majesty,
there were Royal Guards who saw the 8th Prince's rebellious actions.
Please punish him severely.
You dare to talk nonsense and frame a prince!
Are you not afraid of the crime worthy of executing your entire tribe?
Queen Mother, please don't be angry.
Huai'er, Xuan'er.
From today on, I order you two
to jointly investigate the 8th Prince's crime of treason.
Report to me as soon as you reach a conclusion.
I accept your order!
We must escape this place quickly! Mo Yi Huai will not give up.
This time, there is poison in the food.
Next time... who knows what will be poisoned?
That's right. Escaping is the first step.
We must quickly find the criminal who attacked Royal Father.
Then we can prove our innocence.
Cheng'er!
Royal Grandmother!
You two... which one is Cheng'er?
In this world, how can there two people who resemble each other so much?
Cheng'er!
You found a body double. What was your intention?
Royal Grandmother,
he isn't a impersonator! He is...!
How dare you!
Cheng'er! Now that things have come to this and you are still lying to me?
No matter what reason you have,
you cannot find an impersonator to trick your Royal Father!
I am very disappointed in you.
You should stay here to reflect on your sin then.
What you stated was indeed correct, Royal Grandmother.
I know I am at fault.
Cheng'er.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do.
This is food that I prepared for you personally.
You must take your time to taste it.
Do not forsake my effort.
Thank you, Royal Grandmother.
