I used to gaze at the mountains and the sea.
The vault of heaven opened all of a sudden.
Do you know love can last a lifetime?
A willow is no match for the wind,
the sea is no match for a mote.
We wait for our love to last forever
until we're grey-headed.
I'm playing a sorrowful tune on the lute.
But I've got no one to appreciate my music.
A beauty is reduced to a lonely life.
With tears in her eyes, she's reluctant to leave.
Time elapses so quickly.
The vermilion gates and the green tiles have long gone.
I hope you'll show pity on me
and allow me to exist for love.
I'll be reincarnated time and again for you.
All I ever want is to be part of your life.
Even if it's just a dream,
I'd love to indulge in it and never wake up.
I come for you, my love
is the tenderest dialogue.
The mortal life is transient, but my love for you is permanent and always the same.
Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty Episode 31
Yinzhen,
how is Yinxiang now?
Though Yinxiang is still in a coma,
his life is no longer in danger.
His injury is external,
but caused him to lose a lot of blood.
Imperial Doctor Chen is still inside treating him.
He will come to himself soon.
Don't worry.
OK.
Thank goodness, he is all right!
Yinxiang got injured?
How is his injury?
His Highness has been carried back to his mansion for treatment.
The news just came that
his life is not endangered.
How could this happen?
Your Majesty,
now Thirteenth Prince got injured.
Though his life is not in danger,
he could not lead the troops to go battle anymore.
Go.
Summon Yinti to come to see me.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Congratulations to Yinti for getting back the military power.
Look at Yinxiang!
God is not on his side, either.
Come on!
I propose a toast to you.
I will drink up my cup first.
Right, Yinti.
In such a way,
you will hold the military power in your hands.
It is like blocking the route of retreat of our Yinzhen.
From now on, we will be more likely to win the victory.
Enough.
Stop talking about it, you two!
What happened this time
is a coincidence.
Yinti,
the battle in Junggar is tough.
You must be careful on your way there.
I will wait for your return with a sweeping victory.
Come on!
OK!
Your Highness,
I propose a toast to you.
Now Your Highness has won in the first step
and it is sure that you will achieve immediate victory later
and come back home with the triumph.
Good!
Sister-in-law, well-done!
Come on!
Don't keep talking.
Eat more.
The Forbidden City is so beautiful!
The scenery is such a feast to eyes.
Your Highness, why don't you look at it?
Isn't all this before your eyes
what you want, Your Highness?
I know that
for what happened to Yinxiang,
Your Highness has been angry with me.
However, Your Highness, you should also know that
to get all these before your eyes in hands,
you must make efforts
and make sacrifices.
To achieve our goal,
must we become so cruel?
We are not cruel enough.
To climb to the summit,
we must be crueler than anyone else.
Your Highness,
you are still not aware of this truth now?
Shun'er.
Wei.
Yinxiang!
Yinzhen.
Yinxiang came to himself!
Yinxiang!
Sorry to have worried you.
So glad to see you come round.
Imperial Doctor Chen, hurry!
The pulse conditions of His Highness are becoming steadier and steadier.
But His Highness still needs to rest for recuperation.
I will make another several prescriptions.
Thank you, Imperial Doctor Chen!
This is my duty.
I will see off Imperial Doctor Chen.
Yinxiang,
I will go with them to check the prescription out.
Get a good rest.
Shun'er,
take good care of His Highness.
OK, Your Highness.
Imperial doctor,
is there anything wrong with Yinxiang's leg?
Though the life of His Highness is not in danger for the time being,
I didn't expect that
the arrow shot at His Highness
had been poisoned.
What? Poisoned?
Yes.
Imperial Doctor Chen,
plotting to murder the prince is a capital crime.
Did you check it carefully?
I have been very cautious
and checked it a couple of times.
Nonetheless, this kind of poison
is usually used by them to hunt the animals.
I dare not say for sure
whether someone tried to murder His Highness purposefully.
Well, can the poison be detoxified?
I have written out the prescription.
After His Highness uses the medication for a while,
the toxins will be removed slowly.
It will not endanger the life of His Highness.
However...
What?
Because the toxins
have penetrated into the kneecap of His Highness,
I am afraid that in the coming days,
the leg of His Highness
would not be able to return to normal.
What?
You mean Yinxiang's leg...
Yes.
In the history book, it is said that Yinxiang contracted a leg disease.
Could this be the cause of it?
Your Highness,
Who did this on earth?
please allow me to take leave.
I have to trouble you to treat my brother later.
It is her.
This is my duty.
It is Minghui.
What did you say?
My horse got rattled due to her trick.
She has premeditated all this.
She caused Yinxiang the injury.
I will go see her.
Be calm!
You can't go see her.
If anything happens to you,
what should Yinxiang do?
Should we just swallow the insult silently?
Of course, we shouldn't.
Whoever harmed Yinxiang
will not be allowed to get away with it by me.
Don't worry.
Leave it to me.
You just need to set your mind at ease and take good care of Yinxiang.
Yinzhen, are you here to see me?
You should know for whom, I am here.
She is my wife.
No matter what she does,
you can hold me accountable, Yinzhen.
Right.
it is the same to hold you responsible.
Yinzhen, just beat me as you like.
I won't fight back.
As your elder brother,
I really should give you a good lesson.
You resorted to filthy means time and again
to deal with your own biological brothers.
Even if you win,
can you gain peace of mind?
Stop!
What are you doing?
Are you trying to kill your own brother?
Mother.
You two
are siblings and all born by me.
How great is your hatred for him?
So you want to lay hands on your brother mercilessly.
Mother.
They are no more than small misunderstandings.
You need not worry.
Misunderstandings?
What misunderstandings
have caused you two brothers to fight against each other?
Who is so capable that
my two sons are caused to misunderstand each other?
Mother.
As for the misunderstanding between Yinti and I,
we will solve it.
How? Give him another beating?
Mother,
today I did wrong.
If there is nothing else,
please allow me to take leave.
You must remember
to heat this in a while.
Got it?
Got it.
Moreover,
remember that in the coming days,
you must boil three bowls of water into one bowl
and must prevent it from being too hot.
You must bear this in mind.
OK.
You must be careful in everything.
I am off.
Just go.
Your Highness.
Where is Yinxiang?
His Highness is in his mansion.
May I trouble you to inform him of my arrival?
OK.
Why are you here?
How is Yinxiang?
How do you want him to be?
Are you here to confirm it with your own eyes?
Judging from what you look like,
he is supposed to have come to himself.
Then that's good.
Why must you make things worse like this?
Since we chose different paths,
such outcomes are inevitable.
We can't be people of the same kind.
Then must we kill people of the opposite side?
Such being the case,
I have nothing to say.
Fine.
Then, please leave.
Since you choose to be an enemy of my husband,
from now on, our mansion will
break off all relations with you.
Except hatred for you,
nothing is left between us.
Nothing is left.
Right.
Since I deceived you,
we have been like strangers.
Shun'er,
escort His Highness out.
Your Highness,
this way, please.
It is cold in Qinghai.
Adequate clothes must be prepared for His Highness.
There can't be any negligence.
Leave now, all of you.
Do you know
what will happen
if the tamer can't
tame the animal?
The tamer will kill it
to avoid involving the innocent people into trouble.
Why are you laughing?
I am laughing because of my foolishness.
I have been so foolish that I didn't realize till now
that your bottom line, Your Highness,
is just Wei.
Whether it is the power whirlpool
or the Forbidden City packed with beast-like persons,
I am afraid they are nothing in the eyes of Your Highness
compared with this woman.
However, for your sake,
I am not afraid of getting my name blackened
and fear no dirty water splashed over my body.
I don't care about anything.
As long as I can help you,
whether it is bad deeds
or dirty water,
I will ignore all of them.
However, in the end,
I am just a substitute for her.
Am I right?
You still know nothing.
What is wrong? Is your leg hurting again?
No.
Only...
Don't worry.
Your leg will recover for sure.
It certainly will.
Drink the medicinal decoction.
OK!
It is so bitter!
Here you are.
I don't want to drink tea.
I want to eat
the sweet soup you cooked for me.
When did I cook the sweet soup for you?
As long as it is cooked by you,
It will taste sweet no matter what it is.
You are speaking honeyed words.
I can see that your leg has got a lot better recently,
so you are even in the mood to tease me.
Wife,
I am really having a tasteless mouth.
Hurry to cook some food for me.
My good wife.
What do you want to eat? I will go cook it for you.
As long as you cook it,
whatever it is, I will like it,
OK.
Then behave yourself and wait here.
Don't move about.
Yes,
wife.
I don't know if Yinxiang finds out the truth,
can he still take it easy
and keep himself in a good mood like now?
Should I tell him?
It is an unchangeable fact.
If he finds it out, it will only add to his worries.
No, I can't tell him.
If he feels insipid in his mouth,
plain congee and bland dishes will be more suitable than sweet soup.
I'd better ask him about what he wants to eat.
Yinxiang!
What happened?
I am fine.
Your leg hasn't healed completely.
Why did you get off the bed by yourself?
I can't feel this leg of me.
Wei,
what is wrong with me on earth?
Nothing.
I will help you go to bed first.
Come on!
One, two, three!
Attendants!
Help!
One, two, three!
Your Highness.
Did you get hurt falling down?
Need I send for the imperial doctor to check upon you?
I am fine.
The imperial doctor said that
as long as you have a good rest for some days, your leg
will recover soon.
I am just not used to this condition for the time being.
I will be fine after a while.
Yes.
It will be fine after a while.
Don't worry.
Do I seem to be worried in any way?
Where is the sweet soup you promised to cook for me just now?
I have come here to tell you
that plain congee and bland dishes would do you more good.
Plain congee and bland dishes are good.
They can enhance my appetite.
Then we will go prepare them.
It is good that you have appetite.
Only when your body is well-nourished,
can you recuperate from the illness quickly.
Do you think that
while His Highness and Her Highness were talking today,
they didn't sound like a couple
and sounded estranged.
His Highness is afraid that if he asks too much,
Her Highness will feel sad.
Her Highness is worried that, if His Highness finds it not easy for his leg to heal,
His Highness will also feel sad.
Therefore, they took each other's feelings
into consideration
and naturally, they dare not tell each other the truth.
There seems to be a barrier between them.
They both have scruples because of each other.
As a natural result, they can't lay their hearts bare.
This is the so-called concerns arising out of care.
What do you know?
What I said is right.
Your Highness,
though it is not easy for His Highness to recover from his injury,
I believe after resting well for a period of time,
his leg will heal completely for sure.
Don't blame yourself too much.
Promise me.
Eat something.
But I am the only person who knows that
this injury of Yinxiang will hardly heal
and it will become a disease that
he will have to carry with him all his life.
You don't know.
Yinxiang won't be able to recover from his injury this time.
Your Highness.
Stop persuading me.
I won't listen no matter what you say.
Just let me do whatever I want.
Yinzhen, you have to handle the state affairs every day.
You also come to visit Yinxiang every day.
Sorry to cause you trouble, Yinzhen.
Don't mention it.
If it is possible,
I'd rather I am the one that got injured.
I can see that the leg injury of Yinxiang has improved.
You need not worry too much.
I heard that there is a famous doctor in Xuzhou.
The doctor is good at treating leg diseases.
I have sent personnel to invite the doctor here.
I believe Yinxiang will definitely
recover from his leg injury.
I hope so.
Wei,
you are no longer
the girl I used to know.
In the past, you feared nothing.
To uphold justice, you dared to challenge the imperial authority.
Yinxiang used to laugh at you for being foolish and nosy.
He said you were special.
Your innate optimism
and courage enabling you to go ahead in everything.
It not only attracted Yinxiang,
but also attracted me.
What makes me envy Yinxiang most
is that he always has you around him.
In the same sense, because he has you by his side,
I can be the most reassured.
Because I believe that as long as you are with him,
no matter what great difficulty confronting him,
you will accompany him to go through it smilingly.
However, now you
are wearing a sorrowful look.
Wei,
losing your luster, you not only can't help Yinxiang,
but also will make him more upset.
But I really don't know how to face this.
I clearly knew that his leg would get injured,
but I couldn't change it.
I couldn't help him, either.
Since you couldn't change it,
you must face it bravely.
This is supposed to be your original personality, Wei.
Return to the normal you.
I believe firmly that
Yinxiang will rise to his feet sooner or later.
And he will get well for sure.
Right.
Even if the history remains the same in the end,
Yinxiang has me around him.
Even if I can just reduce Yinxiang's pain
by a little bit,
I will do what I can.
Even if I can't change the result,
I can change the process.
I must pull myself together for the sake of Yinxiang.
This may be my mission having come to the Qing Dynasty.
Yinzhen,
I will bear in mind what you told me.
Thank you!
Minghui,
you dared to use me.
How dare you!
Tell me,
in the polo match,
did you make a mess of it intentionally?
I dare not.
I am not so capable to use Your Highness.
Back then, Your Highness
was bent on playing some tricks
to make Yuning suffer, right?
Now you have your wish fulfilled.
Your Highness should be happy about this.
Why are you blaming me for it?
It is true that I was beguiled and abetted by you
and intended to teach Wei a lesson.
But I didn't expect that
the horse would go crazy and hurt people
and would cause His Highness Thirteenth Prince to be so heavily injured.
You have done it.
Your Highness,
you can't shift the blame onto others
for what you have done
by saying that you didn't expect it.
Right.
To cater to you, back then,
I said several words about how to make a fool of Wei,
but they can prove nothing.
Don't forget that
it is Your Highness
who messed about with the horse in the polo match.
You are making an unfounded attack on me.
I didn't think this way.
I didn't intend to hurt people.
It is you who said that
I just needed to let the horse smell the medicinal herb.
So I did it.
It is all your fault.
You are a vicious woman.
I don't have the malicious thoughts
as you do.
You abetted me behind the scenes
and used me to harm people.
Your Highness,
you can't erase what you did.
Why must you embarrass yourself like this?
Your Highness is the person
who have resorted to evil means.
Why are you
posing as a person of high morals
and blaming others?
No.
I didn't.
I didn't intend to hurt anyone.
I must explain myself to them.
After feeling the pulse last time, the imperial doctor changed the prescription
and seemed to have added some new herbs to it.
But nobody knows how the medication will work.
Qixiang,
you know something about pharmacology all along.
Help me check it out.
Yuning.
I,
I know this is all caused by me.
I really realized that I had done wrong.
Now,
what do you still want to say?
I know no matter what I say now, it won't help.
But I just want you to know that
I really didn't mean to hurt Thirteenth Prince intentionally.
I really didn't.
I am also used by others.
Knowing that Thirteenth Prince is seriously injured,
I came to realize that I had committed a serious error.
But I can't do anything to reverse it.
I swear that
I only wanted to make a fool of you
and wanted you to fall off the horse for the most at that time.
I didn't expect that the horse would go crazy and hurt people.
I am really a fool.
How could I believe that it is just a joke?
You are right.
Now, no matter what you say, it will be of no use.
Whether you were used by others
or hurt people by accident,
I don't care.
Because the outcome wouldn't change at all
and Yinxiang's leg wouldn't be like what it used to be.
Sorry! Sorry!
It is all my fault.
You apologize to me now.
How do you expect me to react?
Due to the so-called joke of you,
Yinxiang is ill in bed now.
Seeing him in such great pain,
I can't forgive
the evildoer causing all this.
If you really feel sorry,
you'd better sharpen your eyes later
and learn how to distinguish right from wrong.
In this way, no matter what time it is,
you will not be manipulated by others easily.
Wei,
what surprise did you prepare for me on earth?
It is so mysterious.
Anyway, it is the mysterious thing.
Listen to me,
don't open your eyes till I let you.
Did you hear me?
Fine. Fine. Fine.
Close your eyes.
What is it?
What is it, Shun'er.
Three.
What is it?
Two, one.
Open your eyes.
This is...
Did you make it, Wei?
Of course I did.
I did all the work from the design drawing.
Of course, Qixiang gave me a lot of help.
Let me tell you.
This wheelchair is different from others.
Look!
You can pull this lever.
The wheelchair will
come to a stable halt.
Is it very convenient?
It is so impressive.
It is the first time for me to see such an impressive thing.
Come on!
Sit on it and give it a try.
Come on! Come on!
Our Highness Princess Consort has such high skills.
No wonder Her Highness were in such a hurry to complete the wheelchair.
Let me try it.
Try.
Stop.
Wei, this wheelchair made by you
is better than the ones made in the imperial palace.
You are so clever in mind and skillful in hand!
You have stayed inside the room for quite a few days.
Let me take you out for a walk.
Now?
Right.
Let' go!
Let' go out to enjoy some fresh air!
Your Highness,
take care!
- Quicker! - Here we go!
Greetings to you, Your Majesty!
Consort De.
Your Majesty,
your cough has relapsed recently.
I boiled the water
with the tendril-leaved fritillary bulb and pear.
Drink it and it can promote salivation and relieve a cough
as well as remove the heat and nourish the lungs.
Drink it while it is still hot.
You are so considerate, Consort De.
Your Majesty!
Are you all right, Your Majesty?
Need I send for the imperial doctor, Your Majesty?
It is not a big deal.
I am just old.
I really get old.
I am like the setting sun shining my last brilliance.
But only when it comes to this time,
do I realize that
there are so many unfinished things to be done.
However, I am fully occupied every day.
Consort De,
I am thinking.
Leave, all of you!
-Yes! -Yes!
I am thinking that
it is time to pick a wise ruler for our Great Qing Regime.
Therefore, my son can take over the power
and carry on the unfinished cause of me
to keep our regime lasting forever.
Your Majesty,
you are still in good health.
Why need you worry about this?
Besides, you are wise in decision-making.
No matter which prince you pick,
he will definitely not let you down.
Among all my sons,
Yinzhen and Yinti
enjoy the highest reputation in the imperial court.
And I think the most highly of them.
They are both your sons,
but are quite different in personality and morality.
When the country is in peace, safety and stability,
it needs a conservative ruler to safeguard the good situation.
Nonetheless, our country is facing the foreign invasion
and the frontier is insecure,
so a brave and resolute ruler is needed.
Only a prince who has the demeanor and boldness of Yinti
can be qualified.
I am thinking about
picking one between Yinzhen and Yinti
to go to battle on behalf of me.
Yinti has always enjoyed high prestige in the army.
But Yinzhen has more experience in leading the army.
What do you think?
In state affairs,
as a woman, I dare not express an opinion.
It is all up to you to make the decision, Your Majesty.
It may be a good idea.
I will think twice about it.
You must do this thing
in secret.
Yes, I remember.
You can never let anyone know it.
Yes, Your Highness Princess Consort.
I got it.
Your Highness Princess Consort.
Why does a wild child show up here and run about?
Come here. Come here! Come!
You little bastard!
Why did you bump into Her Highness?
Why did you run about?
Who are your parents?
Say it!
Stop beating him!
Dare you do this again?
Dare you?
You naughty little bastard!
Mother, please spare me!
Please stop beating me!
Dare you do it again?
Dare you?
Stop beating him!
-Do you know where this place is? -Stop beating him.
-Dare you do it again? -Stop beating him!
Dare you do it again?
I have told you to stop beating him.
Dare you do it again?
Stop beating him!
You little bastard!
How many times have I told you.
How many times have I told you?
Didn't you hear?
Didn't you hear? Didn't you hear?
Stop the beating!
Your Highness, stop beating me!
Stop beating me!
Stop beating me, Your Highness!
What is going on?
What happened?
It is all right now.
Give it to me.
It's all right,
Let me do it.
I have ordered the servant
to send for a doctor to check the boy beaten just now
and apply medication to him.
Don't worry.
Why should I
worry about a child of the servant?
Whether he can survive or not,
it is his fate.
What is the matter that
made you so angry?
Are you sympathetic to me?
I am your husband.
No matter what happens in the future,
you can tell me.
In this world, nobody can hurt me anymore.
I won't allow the person who can hurt me to exist.
It is all right now.
This time we should march forward from one flank
and get stationed here.
In this way, we can attack them while they are unprepared for sure.
Yinti,
what do you think of it?
Yinti,
what are you thinking about?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
Eighth brother,
nothing.
As I see it, you are thinking about family affairs.
Yinti,
Minghui is a woman who
is smart and unruly,
But she only plans and plots for your sake.
It is certain that she has deep feelings for you.
I always think that
the love relation between you two are fake
and you two just use each other.
However, based on the current situation.
you just tolerate, coddle and love her.
You also have deep feelings for her.
I really didn't expect that
I misjudged you two.
Yinsi,
since I married her,
she has been my wife.
Whether our love is fake or real,
it is a family affair for me.
You need not mind it.
You are my fourteenth brother,
I am your eighth brother.
I can't stay aloof from your business.
I care about you.
I hope you and your wife can
have a happy married life
and live in harmony.
Thus, I can set my mind at ease.
How many times have I told you.
Didn't you hear?
I told you to stop beating him.
Stop beating me, Your Highness Princess Consort.
Stop beating me!
I was wrong. I was wrong, Your Highness.
What is going on? What is the matter?
It's all right.
I am here.
It is all right.
Give it to me.
Her cruelty originates from her past.
She is no more than a pathetic person.
I'm sitting on the rooftop.
The breeze kisses my face.
I feel it light.
The scenery is gorgeous,
but I feel so lonely.
You and I
live in two different spaces.
In your space it's also spring.
There's also a gentle breeze.
There's also this beautiful scenery.
Your face is close to mine.
I can feel your breath.
Your smile has been engraved in the azure sky.
On the lonely rooftop I find no trace of you.
Engraved in my mind
is your tearful face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember
my smiling face.
Your face is close to mine.
I can feel your breath.
Your smile has been engraved in the azure sky.
On the lonely rooftop I find no trace of you.
Engraved in my mind
is your tearful face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember
my smiling face.
I'm no stronger than you.
Deep inside, I'm weeping.
But I want you to remember
my smiling face.
