Episode 31
You asked for me?
-What's wrong? -What does Lin Waner mean to you?
Wife to marry.
You want to marry her because of the Inside Treasury or herself?
Even she is a servant
I will marry her for sure.
You did catch feelings for her.
It's the middle of the night. Are we having a late-night talk show?
Princess Royal is kneeling outside of the King's study room for a while.
How do you know what's happening in the Palace?
It doesn't matter.
What are you supposed to do is the only thing matters.
Go stab her?
Since you have won,
why don't you be generous and plead for her?
Plead for her?
We shall all step back.
Don't go all the way down.
Don't push so hard.
Li Yunrui is evil.
But she has a lot of followers.
You will work in the council.
You must learn to make friends.
She is trying to kill me.
Fan Xian,
have you ever thought about Lin Waner's feelings?
Don't forget that Li Yunrui is her mo after all.
You beat her in this round,
and then what?
What would Lin Waner think if you go all the way down?
If you plan to be together,
will this distance you two?
Fan Xian, if you truly like her,
why can't you go one step back for her?
Please allow me to think about it.
Tonight is your only chance to plead.
Auntie, everybody said you were on my side.
I am.
Then why I had no idea about
Zhu Ge and Zhuang Mohan?
If you knew,
there will be two of us kneeling here now.
What's the difference now?
I beg to see your Majesty.
Crown Prince,
it's not good for you to kneel with me.
Crown Prince, his Majesty wants to see you.
Auntie is fragile. Please spear her.
No one dares to plead for her other than you.
Do you know why?
They are afraid to get involved.
You are not afraid?
I couldn't bear.
Every soft prince has a bad ending.
Your Majesty, please forgive her!
Let's wait.
-What are we waiting for? -To see if anyone else is pleading for her.
At the point,
no one dares to come.
Maybe.
Your Majesty, Lord Fan Xian asks to see you.
Summon him.
I didn't expect
for you to come.
Are you here to plead?
I almost forgot Waner's feelings if I wasn't reminded.
They are mother and daughter after all.
So...
To be honest, I was confused earlier.
So I went to a place to sit down
and cleared my thoughts.
I rushed to here. Thank god it's not too late.
You are pleading for her?
I beg you to not let this go!
You must punish Li Yunrui!
Get up.
You don't like to kneel.
I will be disappointed if you pleaded for her.
The man who is in charge of the Inspection and Control Bureau and the Inside Treasury
must sort his priorities right.
I didn't think that far.
I want to know
how did you change your mind?
I told you,
I found a place to sit down and cleared my thoughts.
Where?
The Grave of Teng Zijing.
I am leaving now. Thank you for helping me.
No need. Someone wants to kill you by the hand of the Inspection and Control Bureau.
-Who? -I am still working on it.
I will find out once I get there.
The people behind the assassination is very powerful.
It's only a start if you stay.
The future could only be more dangerous.
If that's true, how could I leave you alone in Jingdu
to face all the dangers?
I stay because I want to.
Even I have to fight and get hurt,
I will never regret it.
I would step back for Waner
if Li Yunrui only came after me.
Since it's difficult to meet the right one.
But I can't.
She killed Teng Zijing.
Who am I to forgive Li Yunrui?
How selfish would I be if I plead for her?
Just for a guard?
For human life.
You are not mature enough.
Can't forget what's right and worng.
I am afraid no one will come to plead for her.
Tell her to go.
Thank your Majesty.
Tell her to go far away.
To where, your Majesty?
She has been living in Jingdu for so many years.
Xinyang is her granted city, she can go back to there.
Your Majesty!
He told you to leave Jingdu.
And go to Xinyang.
Did Fan Xian plead for me?
He came to stab your back.
Good. I thought he came to plead for me.
I was so worried.
Too much stuff I need to pack.
Auntie.
I may can ask his Majesty again.
You can never persuade a King's mind.
She is Princess Royal after all.
I can't send her to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.
It's the biggest punishment to send her back to Xinyang.
She doesn't deserve to die.
You shall go back.
She doesn't want to see you.
-Then I will wait. -She won't see you.
She won't leave.
Maybe let her in?
She will definitely be sick if she stands outside all night.
She will leave if she can't take it.
She is fragile.
But she has the same temper as you.
She won't leave if she says so.
Come on in.
There's tea over there. Have some and get warm.
The servants are leaving.
They are trying
to get a new master so that they can stay in Jingdu.
-It will be hard. -At least it's better than staying with me.
It's cold though.
There's no more kind people in the palace.
This is wrong.
I shouldn't see you now.
Since I let you in,
I have something to tell you.
You would come to see me
now I have lost.
It's not good for you.
We are mother and daughter
after all.
After tonight, I am a stranger to you.
Don't see me off tomorrow.
Did you betray Qing?
Does it matter now?
If you were innocent, I will plead for you to the King.
Didn't you hear
a word I just said?
So,
did you do it?
Yes.
What else do you want to know?
Did you tried to kill Fan Xian?
Yes.
You knew he is my future husband.
What?
Trying to accuse me before I leave?
Since I was born, you rarely came to visit me.
I thought you had your own problems.
It would get better when I grow up.
And then I was sent out of the palace and ill.
You have never visited me once.
When I was in my worst condition
I wondered would you visit me before I die?
Do I matter to you at all?
You sabotaged Fan Xian for your goals.
Because you have never and will never
care about my feelings.
Why would I care?
Happy, misery, lonely and sad.
Who doesn't feel that way?
You can only feel it if you are alive.
Lin Waner, I just want you to be alive.
I don't care about the rest.
You think what I did was only
colluding with Qi and betraying Qing?
Why didn't I visit you? Why did I avoid you?
Because this is the only way for you to be safe
when things so south!
So you can live well
even I am being tortured.
What else did you do?
Don't ask.
You don't need to know.
From now on, you can live your own life,
just treat me as a monster and avoid me.
What about Fan Xian?
I told you I like him.
Did you try to kill him because of me?
I wouldn't have tried to kill him
if you don't like him?
Why is that?
Being a woman, we must rely on ourselves,
but we also must choose the right man.
It's very important to the rest of your life.
I have chosen him.
A man like Fan Xian will not end up well!
Why?
Why did his Majesty summon him to JIngdu?
Taking over the Inside Treasury?
What else?
Fan Xian is getting closed to the Inspection and Control Bureau.
Who can't tell?
Yes. People are saying that he is young and successful.
And he has a bright future.
Have you ever thought about that under the fight of two princes
the Indside Treasury and the Inspection and Control Bureau
the Indside Treasury and the Inspection and Control Bureau.
Now Fan Xian takes it over.
He will be the enemy of them all.
There are monsters in the council.
And he is the bite.
How successful he is now, how miserable he will be in the future.
What would happen to him
when all the monsters are going after him?
If it's the marriage agreement, I will help you to cancel it.
But you told me that you have him in your heart. What can I do?
If I don't kill him, I will be sending you to the road of ruins.
Your illness is considered to have improved.
After I leave,
find an excuse
to sever your relationship with Fan Xian.
I will think of a solution
to help you to cancel the marriage agreement.
He's in my heart.
Forget him then.
He's in your heart . Are you going to accompany to the dead end?
Do you know what's my favorite food?
What do I love to eat the most?
Do you know what I like best?
I only know that by surviving, you would then have the rights to talk about love.
I love chicken drumsticks. You are not aware but Fan Xian knows.
The first time when he met me, I was secretly eating a chicken drumstick over there.
What I like the best in my heart, it's the starry sky.
Because I grew up alone, the starry sky
is the most beautiful scenery to me.
You are not aware. Fan Xian is aware.
I have already handed over my heart entirely to him.
He knows. I will never be alone again.
What I like best in my heart, it's already him.
If he wants to take the path to the dead end, I want to be with him.
Life is long.
There will even be more good things in the future.
Someone even better is waiting for you.
If I can find someone whom I can entrust my life to,
whether life is short or long, it will be meaningful.
But if you die, what's there to talk about being meaningful.
Didn't you just say that keeping your distance from me,
will prevent me from being implicated?
Why didn't you think about
not doing such dangerous stuff for my sake?
You chose your path.
I chose mine too.
You also just said that choosing a right man is the way of living.
The man whom you chose to rely on, it's probably not Father, right?
Who is he? Who is that person you are investing so much in?
One last advice.
Don't see me off when I leave the capital tomorrow.
This temperament,
you are really my daughter.
Jingdu
Be careful on the trip. I will visit you when I have the time.
If you leave Jingdu, Second Prince will definitely create troubles.
I won't see you off anymore.
Go back.
Greetings, Your Highness.
She has already left. Is there still a need to continue to persecute?
Your Highness, I'm merely seeing her off on behalf of Wan'er.
I don't know anything about what Aunt does.
Of course.
Let him come over here.
Greetings on behalf of Wan'er,
and respectfully see you off.
Fortunately, you didn't plead for me last night.
It seems like you didn't want me to do that.
Of course. If you did that, I won't be able to repay you.
It's good now. I can spend time to think
of preparing tactics to give you a surprise.
Don't waste your efforts. I'm already very happy.
- Really? - Yes.
I personally told you to leave Jingdu.
Now that it has come true, I can't stop myself from being happy.
My spirit of mind is clear and bright too.
I won't hide this from you. I ate half a bowl of breakfast today.
That's a good thing.
Eat well, take care of your health and wait for my return.
If you want to return to Jingdu, it will not be possible.
Jingdu is where my heart lies.
Letting Your Highness leave Jingdu is where my heart lies too.
Your Highness, please be on your way.
By the way, Fan Xian, I left a present for you.
Let's go.
Perhaps, Teng Ziping is watching this now.
Definitely.
A pity that person was only kicked out. A life was still spared.
Lord, watch what you say.
I wasn't talking about her.
I just heard the Grand Princess said she left a present for you. You must be careful.
Let's go.
Lord!
Young Master Guo, have you had breakfast?
I will never let you off!
Let's go.
Lord, are we not reporting him?
Forget it.
Is this Guo Baokun the strategy she left behind?
Li Yunrui's strategy won't be that simple.
Wait here.
Why are you here?
She's my mother after all.
Sorry.
She wants to harm you. You are only protecting yourself. I understand.
At this juncture, you are still willing to come out to see her off.
I should be thanking you instead.
She said, the path you are taking,
it will became the target of public criticism.
It's a dead end. It's the path of death.
What I want to say is,
the path that you have chosen,
it's fine if you like it. I will be with you.
Imperial Study
If you are here today to participate in the disclosure of information by Fan Xian,
and Yan Bingyun being caught,
there's no need to see the Emperor. Just hand over your memorials to me.
Uncle.
Mister Yan.
Take a seat.
Mister Yan, the situation is bad for this game of chess.
This is bad. This move is bad.
- This wrong move can even be retracted? - For this round today,
Prime Minister has already done it several times.
How can it be played like this?
Playing chest is like fighting a war.
You are still young.
You must learn from it.
Dare I ask you, can Mister Yan retract his wrong move too?
Of course not.
I am impressed.
I'm also using this chess game to give you a few pointers.
Is there any fairness in life?
Sometimes, you naturally need to come out with tactics
so that you could win.
So, you are using this chess game to show Xian Fan a few pointers?
I don't understand. What's with the retracting of wrong moves?
I called you here to tell you something.
Li Yunrui failed and left the capital. Logically speaking,
we should prepare your marriage with Wan'er.
There is a change in the marriage?
It has nothing to do with the marriage. A few days again, in the Imperial Study,
Several officials appealed
about you leaking the information and causing Yan Bingyun to get caught.
They want to conduct a thorough investigation and hold the person accountable.
But it was Grand Princess who disclosed this information.
Li Yunrui only admitted to colluding with Zhu Ge
But she didn't admit selling out Yan Bingyun.
This is the strategy of Grand Princess.
What did His Majesty say?
He didn't say anything.
He just watched them went crazy.
Uncle, I didn't do anything. I'm being falsely accused.
The truth is not important.
What's important then?
Your attitude is important.
I don't understand.
I can still understand the current Emperor.
If my guess is right, he will look for you soon.
Why would he look for me? For what?
No matter what he wants you to do, don't agree.
He's the Emperor. How could I refuse?
He didn't say anything in the council. He will talk to you in private.
Fan Xian, about your marriage with Wan'er,
the preparations are being done. Once you are married,
I will transfer you immediately to the Ministry of Official Personal Affairs.
You mustn't cause any more trouble at this point.
If there are no clear decrees, don't agree to anything.
If there are any problems, dump them on me.
Is this a possibility?
We are not master and slave.
Just like two people playing chess.
You can lose in chess
but you should still fight for what you want.
You didn't do anything wrong this time.
With the addition of your reputation as the Divine Poet,
even if he's the Emperor, he won't be able to pressurize you in court.
How would you know he will summon me to prove my innocence in private?
Our Emperor
loves watching people fight.
You are still immature to him.
Now is the best opportunity.
Prime Minister, the palace sent a decree. His Highness wants to see Master Fan at the palace.
See?
Go. Remember what I said.
No matter what he wants you to do, as long as there's no decree issued,
don't agree to anything.
I will try.
I got lucky. Mr.Yuan.
I won again.
There's still a leeway.
I saw wrongly.
This shouldn't be a problem now.
I am impressed.
Crown Prince, Second Prince.
This is...
Lord Fan, please take a seat.
Sit over here.
What's this about?
I don't know either.
He invited us here. He didn't say why.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster.
No one can predict the King's mind.
No one shall predict the King's mind.
Crown Prince is so righteous.
I am very impressed.
Please don't drag me into your drama.
It's still Fan Xian, the poet, who dares to say anything.
Your Majesty, everyone is here. Please have your meal.
This is just a family meal. Help yourselves.
Your Majesty, since this is a family meal, it's not appropriate for me to be here.
You are thick-skinned. It's fine.
Let's eat.
