Your Royal Majesty, it has been snowing for three days, yet it suddenly stopped at the birth of the Princess. Beams of sunlight came rushing in. It is an auspicious sign. The Princess has a set of phoenix eyes. These are undeniably precious. However, we can't be certain
if it will bring her good fortune. Like a phoenix reborn from ashes,
she can't be reborn if she hasn't died. If she were able to attain rebrith, she would then soar up the Nine Heavens. All formations are impermanent. Their very nature is to arise and vanish. Having arisen they then cease,
the end of loneliness is happiness. The Wei army is here! The Emperor of Great Wei awaits the King of Liang
to hand in the petition of surrender at Ping City. King of Liang, please. Do you really have to do this? For the safety of my people of Great Liang, I am willing to pledge allegiance to Great Wei. [Hexi Duke's Manor] Princess, wait for me! Jun Tao, you're so skilled in martial arts. Why do you find crawling through a hole so difficult? I'm trained in self defense and killing enemies. Crawling through holes isn't my specialty. That won't do. As my bodyguard, how can you
be so bad at crawling through holes? I will practice more often. All right, hurry up! Stop talking, let's go. We can't afford to delay the big event later. Yes. Your Highness. Young Master, there are a lot of Wei soldiers
on the street today. They must have known that my father was coming
home to celebrate Grandmother's birthday, so they are here to protect my father. Young Master, you must be thrilled. His Royal Majesty is finally coming home
after years in Ping City. Shh! Great Liang is now under the reign of Great Wei. You can get my father in trouble
by still addressing him as his Royal Majesty. Yes. The Wei Emperor took my father away
in the form of an invitation, but in reality, he's still holding him hostage. Fortunately, he was kind enough to send him home
for Grandmother's birthday. Therefore, I must put on a good performance
to cheer up Father and Grandmother. Boss! Are the lanterns I ordered ready? - Sir, you've come.
- Where's your boss? The boss is busy and went out. I'm new. Hurry up and put them in the cart. I'm busy. Yes. [Lantern Shop] Be more careful! These are very important to me. Don't ruin them. Don't worry, Sir. We will definitely be careful. - Tie them tightly!
- Yes! - Be nimble!
- All right. My lanterns! Get them! My lanterns! Guest, your noodles. Be careful! Why did you hit me? You're the one with no manners! So unreasonable! I was clearly saving you! If I didn't hug you, you would've flown into the sky! If you care so much... - Are you a girl?
- Move aside! Move aside! Young Master!
How dare you be rude towards my Young Master! How dare you! Why are the people here so strange? I saved you. You didn't even thank me,
you hurt me, and even called for help. What custom is this? Who needed your saving? I could've gotten them down by myself. Busybody. - Just now when I clearly hugged your waist--
- Still doing it?! Young Master! Madam is rushing us!
It's more important to leave for our journey. It's your good luck today. I'm open-minded.
I'm not going to argue with you. Don't let me see you again! And don't let me see you again! Cheng De! Stop playing! Let's go. Disgusting. A man wearing fragrant powder... Young Master, are you okay? We should go back. It won't be good if people notice. You! Hurry up and send the things over. All right. The Duke of Hexi has rebelled! My soldiers, listen well! Kill all the members of the Northern Liang Royal Family. Kill them! Kneel down. I kneel to Heaven and Earth, and kneel to the people, but I won't kneel to shameless and nasty people! Chiyun Nan. Li Min Feng. You two clearly set this all up to frame me.
The people below you have killed innocent people. With such shamelessness,
how can you still face the people of this world?! You're about to die,
yet you still speak so much noble rubbish. I am the Duke of Hexi. My death doesn't depend on a mere general's words. Really? The Duke of Hexi conspired to rebel. I found out about it, so he committed suicide for fear of punishment! Fa— Leave. Run. Xin'er, let's leave. General, this is what we found at the Duke of Hexi's place. Cousin, have you seen the Northern Liang princess? My sword doesn't kill women. The Princess has a piece of jade. That is the jade left by the famous
Han Dynasty Empress Wei Zifu. Before coming here, my mother told me I must obtain it. She believes no one deserves to
have the jade other than Chang Le. It's just an object. There's nothing in this world
that I, Chiyun Nan, cannot obtain. Don't leave any of the Northern Liang Royal Family alive! Yes! Come with me! Royal Grandmother! Queen Dowager! Xin'er, go with Ming first. I'm old and can't run. I will drag you all down. I want to stay with you. You are the only bloodline
of the Great Liang Royal Family. You have a duty to carry on our bloodline. - Ming, hurry! Protect the Princess and leave now.
- Grandmother! - Ming!
- Queen Dowager! - Hurry!
- Let's go, Princess. - Let's go.
- Grandmother! Promise me. No matter what hardships you encounter, you have to live on. Grandmother! Hurry and escort the Princess out of here! Grandmother! The Princess has a set of phoenix eyes. These are undeniably precious. However, we can't be certain
if it will bring her good fortune. - Princess!
- Hurry! Grandmother! Don't leave me! Grandmother! After them! - Grandmother!
- Hurry! Hurry and leave! Shameless traitors,
how dare you hurt loyal and good subjects? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of Heaven? Stop talking rubbish!
Old thing, where's the Princess?! Forget about finding the Princess! - Grandmother!
- Princess! A mantis trying to stop a chariot...
Don't leave any of the Northern Liang survivors alive! Yes! - Uncle Ming!
- Father! Go that way! Princess, how are you? Forget about me. Hurry up and leave. I am the bodyguard of the Royal Family.
It is my duty to protect you. I definitely can't leave you behind. Great Liang has perished. There's no longer a princess. Hurry up and leave. If I stay I will only drag you all down. Having one person survive is one living person. What are you doing?! You can't! Princess, remember what the Queen Dowager said. Live on. Over there! Follow them!
We have to catch the Northern Liang Princess! Yes! Jun Tao! Chiyun Family's men of sacrifice. Your Highness, handover the legendary jade of Wei Zifu. I'll let you have an easy death. Evil thief! Come and get it yourself! Kill her! Hey... She's also an unfortunate girl. [Baishui Village] Water... Water... Here, have some water. Where am I? This is where I live. Thank you for saving my life. My savior, please tell me your name. Don't address me so. My name is Li Wei Young. What about you? I'm Xin Er. Why did you pass out on the road alone? Where do you live? Your family must be worried about you. Xin Er? I no longer have a home. Wei Young! - Auntie.
- Li Wei Young. I told you to get water to
clean up the courtyard. What are you doing in here? Slacking off? Are you... Who is this? She was passed out on the road,
so I brought her home. How kind of you. You're living off me and you even
brought home a sickly girl? Are you going to feed her? Auntie, please. She's also very pitiful. I'm begging you, Auntie. - Please let her stay?
- She's pitiful? Am I not pitiful? You brought her home,
so will you feed her? Give me the money then! You won't have to pay for her meals! I won't have to pay for her meals? Go on then! Show me the money! Hand over the money! Give it to me! Hands off! Goodness... Such a fine jade? Auntie, you can have it. I've been so thrifty.
You had all the good food! Why have you kept such
a fine thing from me? That's the only keepsake
left to me by my mother. Your mother left you such a fine thing? There are certainly some more. - Take them out!
- There's nothing else. - There's nothing else!
- Nothing else? Say that again? - There's nothing else!
- Nothing else? - What else do you have?
- Stop it! How dare you lie to me?
Stop right there! Stop right there! There's nothing else! - I'll hit you! Stop right there!
- Stop hitting me, Auntie! - Stop right there! Where can you hide?
- Auntie, stop it! - Nothing else? Say it again!
- Stop hitting me! Auntie! Are you all right? - I...
- Auntie! How dare you! I'll teach you a lesson
if you don't stop hitting her! You'll teach me a lesson? Who do you think you are? A lady? A princess? Bah! And you! Do you think that
I won't dare to hit you because you're
the prime minister's daughter? Go on! Try me! Let's see if I dare to hit you! You're going to teach me a lesson? Let's see who is tougher! I'll beat you both to death today! I'll have you both starve to death today! Little bastards. Are you all right? Thank you so much. You're already wounded,
but you still took the beating for me. You saved my life. I definitely have to protect you. Are you hungry? I'll get you some food. Xin Er, come here. Look. I stashed these away this morning. Here, have some. You haven't had anything to eat? Here. We will share this. We'll share weal and woe in life. You can have it. Take it. My injured arm can't stay up for that long. All right then. We'll share it. From now on, we'll share weal and woe. Wei Young, we're just strangers. Why are you so kind to me? It's because you're just like me. We're all alone. I've lost my family.
I no longer have anyone to rely on. You're not like me. You're the prime minister's daughter. You're right.
I'm indeed the prime minister's daughter. My father is the present prime minister,
Li Xiao Ran. However, my mother is but a lowly
footbath maid who served Madam Li. My father is high and mighty. Why would he care about
a daughter like me? Moreover, I was born in February. Madam Li had a physiognomist over
who claimed that I'm inauspicious. I was born a jinx. My family then expelled me
from the manor. I've never even met my mother
all these years. I wish so much to see her. Wei Young, you bare your heart to me. I don't wish to keep you in the dark. Actually... I'm actually Prince of Hexi's daughter.
My father was framed for mutiny. I'm the princess of the former Great Liang. Miss Wei Young? You are... Li Manor sent me over to
bring Miss Wei Young home. Has my mother asked to see me? Not your mother. The god of death! Why? I don't even know you! Why do you have to kill me? I will make it clear to you
before your death. The person who wishes to have you dead is no other than your legitimate mother
Madam Chiyun. She expelled me from the manor
since I was born. Isn't that good enough for her? Why would she want me dead? I'm just under her orders. Don't blame me for this
when you get to hell! Help! Help! Help! Help! Wei Young, it's time for lunch. Wei Young! Help! Help! Madam Chiyun told me to bring back
a body part of yours as the proof of your death. Should I hack off your hand? Or your head? Wei Young! - Xin Er...
- Wei Young! I'll take you to a doctor. I didn't expect them to come after me. I recognized him. He served Li Min Feng. Why would he want to kill you? It's my father's legal wife
who wishes to kill me. She is also the hostess of the Li family. She's Li Min Feng's mother. Madam Li is Li Min Feng's mother? Li Min Feng is... He is my half-brother.
We share the same father. Your family is actually my enemy? They destroyed Great Liang
and killed my family. They aren't my family. They are also my enemies. Wei Young! Wei Young, wake up! You must... stay alive and well... Seek revenge... Wei Young! Wei Young. Those people took your innocent life. I'll surely find a way to avenge you. Nanny, Liu family's residence is right ahead. The Second Young Mistress is there. Bai Zhi and Zhi Yan, be sure to
freshen the young mistress up. Old Madam asked to have her home
for her birthday. She must look respectable. Otherwise, we'll be blamed by Old Madam Li. - Yes!
- Yes! Has the Li family really sent them
to bring Wei Young home? Whatever obstacle you might come across,
you have to stay alive! Your Highness, please stay alive! Stay alive and well... Wei Young, I'll go on with my life as you. Where on earth has she gone? This is so... You're finally home! Where is she? Wei Young is dead. What nonsense is that? She was chopping firewood in the mountain. Someone killed her. She... How could she be killed for no reason? This is bad... We're doomed... The Li family is waiting out there
to pick her up. How am I going to find Wei Young? My entire family will be killed
if I can't hand over Wei Young! I'll go in her place. You? Go and ask that Mrs. Liu
about our young mistress. Yes. Nanny, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Second... Second Young Mistress! Please come out here! Nice to meet you, Nanny. I am Li Wei Young. Greetings to Second Young Mistress. From what I just observed there are changes in the fates
of both Miss Chang Le and Li Wei Young. Is that so? Both young mistresses have
the fate of the phoenix (Empress). However, only one will prevail. One phoenix will surely be wounded in rivalry. I'm afraid that Miss Chang Le might
not have smooth sailing in life. Taoist Master, I think that
you're overly worried. That Li Wei Young won't have
the chance to hinder Chang Le anymore. Is that truly so? Madam! What is it? Speak up quickly. Old Madam already had her maids
pick up Li Wei Yang. What? He failed to kill her? Li Wei Young... At such a crucial moment, I mustn't allow that maid's daughter
to hinder Chang Le's future. Young Mistress, we've arrived. Let's get out. - Yes.
- Yes. [Prime Minister's Manor] Second Young Mistress, we have arrived. Second Young Mistress. This way, please. Why should my mistress go through the side door? She's the daughter of the minister.
She should take the front door. How dare a maid question the rules of the manor? It serves you right to be slapped! You... Is this how maids are taught to
behave in the prime minister's manor? Master Li set the rules in the manor. Why would you take out
your anger on a maid like me? Your mother was Madam Li's footbath maid. You should know your status. According to the rules of the manor, only legitimate children of the minister
can enter from the front door. Second Young Mistress,
you can only enter from the side door. You... By the way, I'd like to know who you are. I serve Madam Li. This is how Madam Li trains her maid? You still have to address me
as Second Young Mistress. Yet you dare to raise your voice at me? Is that also the rule of the manor? - You...
- What about it? Have you not learned from that slap? What is the fuss about a side door? We will enter through it with our chins up. Li Wei Young... just wait and see. I'll see how Madam Li fixes you. Prime Minister Li,
after gaining insight into the accidents that recently took place in your manor,
I can conclude that they are all related to
Miss Wei Young's inauspicious fate. I'm afraid that even more misfortune will
descend upon you if this isn't fixed. Nonsense! Even if I were born in February,
how is that inauspicious? Someone must have framed me. Vile spawn! You're so rude! How could the Taoist master be wrong? Taoist Master, how can we resolve this? First of all, Second Young Mistress
must not stay in the manor. Next, dip a whip in a black dog's blood and whip her 50 times
to rid her of inauspiciousness. Only then can the Li family stay safe. Get the whip ready! 50 times? You might as well kill me. You show no respect for life.
How are you a man of religion? Master, how can you be so cruel as a Taoist? Uncle, please think twice! Li Min De, you're in no place
to voice your opinion. It's my responsibility to get rid of
demons and monsters. - Perform the ritual!
- Yes! - Young Mistress!
- Young Mistress! Wei Young! - Stop it!
- Young Mistress! Please! Stop whipping her! Young Mistress... I beg you to stop whipping her! Master! Master! Young Mistress! Stop it! Stop whipping her! Stop it! Stop whipping her! Master, Wei Young is your child! How could you bear to do this? Master, I'm begging you! Mother... Uncle, Wei Young is after all a girl. She's too frail to withstand such a beating. Uncle, please show some mercy! Min De and Chang Ru,
stay out of this matter. Besides, I'm doing this
for the safety of the Li family. - Uncle!
- Master! Drag Seventh Concubine out. - Don't whip her! Stop it!
- Wei Young! Mother... - Head back to your room.
- Young Mistress... - Wei Young...
- I can take it. - Master!
- Stop it! Master, please let go of her. Let go of her! Mother! Young Mistress! I don't believe that you can survive 50 lashes. Stop it! Stop it! Stop! Get lost! Wei Young... Wei Young, why would you be so badly whipped? My grandchild... - Bring Fourth Young Mistress here.
- Yes. You... Mother. Wei Young is still after all your child. How can you be so ruthless? Anyone there? Untie Second Young Mistress! Yes! Hold it. Old Madam, I don't wish to do so either but hundreds of lives in Li Manor
are at stake here. So many accidents occurred in the manor. If we don't allow the Taoist master
to repel the inauspiciousness who knows how many more lives
might be harmed? Old Madam, just stay out of this. Old Madam, there are still 31 lashes to go. If we don't finish them it would be hard to dispel all
inauspiciousness in the manor. If that is so by all means let that inauspiciousness come to me! How could she possibly survive any more? Mother... If you still regard me as your mother,
don't defy my orders. Anyone there? Quickly! Untie Second Young Mistress! Quickly! Grandmother! Wei Young is your granddaughter,
but am I not? Grandmother, look. I ended up like this because of
that jinx Li Wei Young! The doctor said that
it will leave a scar. I'm not even married yet. I'm already ruined. Grandmother, while you pity Wei Young,
could you have some pity on us as well? Taoist Master, assist me in this ritual. I willingly give up 10 years of my life to dispel inauspiciousness for
everyone in the Li family to make up for the remaining
30 lashes that Wei Young has to take! [Summer Manor] Young Mistress, why are you sitting up? Your wounds aren't even healed yet. Water... Young Mistress, just let us know
if you need anything. What if you get injured again? I'm not that fragile. This is just a slight injury. I'll recover very soon. Look. Do I not look fine now? Don't pull such a long face. Young Mistress, seriously... How is that a slight injury? It's been more than a month now. You've had so many doctors
who tried all sorts of medications but those cuts just won't heal. What should we do if they still don't heal? Young Mistress, you have no idea. The servants here are so mean. Zi Yan! It's all right. How could I not have noticed it? They said that the Taoist master
sent deities to punish the jinx. Young Mistress, you are no jinx. Of course not. They are all waiting to make me a laughingstock. I won't let them get what they want. Young Mistress, you have to get well soon. Old Madam has fallen ill as well,
so now they blame it on you. Zi Yan, what are you talking about? What? Don't worry, Young Mistress. Old Madam is attended by the imperial physician. She will be fine. Young Mistress, you're the one
we're worried about. Tell me. Be honest with me. How is my grandmother? How about my mother? Are they both well? Don't worry, Young Mistress. Seventh Concubine is all right. It's just that Old Madam is said
to have caught a cold and her back aches so badly
that she can't sleep well. Is that so? That girl Bai Zhi went to Old Madam's room and massaged her all night
so that she could sleep well. Old Madam kept saying how filial
Second Young Mistress is. That damn girl still pulled off
such tricks from the summer manor? She thinks that she can make it home? What about that task I assigned you to do? Don't worry, Madam. The medication doesn't
take effect on just anyone. However, if the person is wounded,
the wounds will never heal. It would only hurt a bit
if wounds can't heal. Once the poison penetrates
through all her veins the effect will come on stronger. In the end, only death awaits her. Second Young Master. Bai Zhi? What is it? My mistress... Young Mistress... Young Mistress, wake up! What should I do? What should we do? Why would it get so much worse
suddenly with a fever? Nanny Cui, could we send for a doctor
to take a look at her? The doctors are all in the town. If we send for one now,
he might get here quite late. Judging by Second Young Mistress's condition, she won't survive until then. Don't say such nonsense! Young Mistress, you must get well soon. Madam, you were right. That girl simply won't give up. Bai Zhi spoke to Second Young Master
sneakily about something. Min De? What would that girl want from him? Nothing she comes up with would help. We've just received news
from the summer manor that Li Wei Young won't pull through tonight. [Songtan Residence]
What is it? My mistress hopes that
Second Young Master could investigate to see if the Taoist master
is in league with Madam Chiyun. This is... Only you can save my young mistress now! - Bai Zhi, what are you doing?
- Show her some pity. Please save my mistress. - Bai Zhi...
- In my next life - I'll do anything to repay you.
- Don't worry. I'll help Wei Young. Thank you, Second Young Master! - Head back first.
- Yes. Here, take her away. What are you doing? What am I doing? I was instructed to dump her
on the mountain before she dies. She is a jinx. If she dies in here and jinxes Old Madam who are we to bear the consequences? Who instructed you to do so? Was it Madam Li? - Take her away quickly!
- Yes! No! Step aside! Let go of me! Let go of me! Get lost! The mountain is desolate and packed with wolves. You're too ruthless to take my mistress there! If you try to stop us again I'll feed you to the wolves as well. Believe it or not. Take her away! Let's go! Young Mistress! Your Highness, why didn't you head home
with Prince of An-Nan then? Isn't it quite hard traveling alone out here? If I traveled with my uncle,
I'd surely feel very restrained. Isn't it a lot more carefree on our own? Your Highness was either helping the refugees or saving people from fires along the way. Our schedule was delayed
and you were worn out. How... How is that called carefree? Whine less and watch where you're going. I won't save you if you fall into the water. What are you laughing at? That's impossible. If I really fall into the water,
how could Your Highness not save me? Is that so? Here! Let's give it a go! - Come on! Let's see what happens.
- Really? - Who knows?
- I'm just joking! - Come here! Try me!
- Don't! - Don't run! Try me!
- No! Don't! - All right now...
- Try me. - I was joking!
- Try me. No... No... Assassins... You're fooling me again? You did that to me last time... Your Highness, leave now! They just keep on coming. Your Highness, should we take them on? No, there are too many of them.
Let's split up. See you later! Go after them! I can't die here. I must stay alive. Chiyun Rou, you won't get what you want. - Let go of me!
- Don't speak or make a sound! Don't speak. Make no sound. They can't have gone far!
Search carefully! Go! Go! They aren't here! Take a look over there! Who are you? What's wrong? I didn't do anything to you
and you fainted? [Yunlai Inn] Young Master! Young Master! Are you all right? Are you hurt? It's all right. I'm fine. Are you all right? - I'm fine.
- That's good then. Young Master, there were
so many assassins after you. Should anything happen to you,
how am I to account for it? Stop wailing. You'll disturb
the doctor from reading her pulse. Young Master, you were gone for a while
and brought back a young lady? What nonsense are you saying? Keep quiet. This young lady has been poisoned. The poison was fed to her
a little at a time. It caused her wounds to fester
and be difficult to heal. Should it go on much longer,
the poison will reach her heart. Is there any way to cure her? I... I can't be certain. However, I can give it a try. It's just that the treatment
will be very painful. The pain is unbearable to most people. I can take it. Young lady, this is the second pinprick. Young lady, the third pinprick will be terribly painful. Can you stand it? I can... Everything's all right now. I've practiced medicine for years and I've never had any patient
who didn't scream at the three pinpricks. I must stay alive... Young Master, she has fallen asleep. You can let go of her. It's all right now. Young Master, are we really going in there? The Taoist master is very influential in Ping City. If we were caught, even the minister couldn't save you. Shut up. This is Wei Young's only chance. I have to do it. Let's go. Your Highness, are you practicing martial arts? Exactly. Once I master the ultimate skills, I'll fix you first. Your Highness. Isn't she the young lady you rescued from the fire? She is so lucky. You're always with her
when she is in danger. I've met you twice
and you were in danger both times. Just who exactly are you? Pervert, why is it you again? Who is the victim here? You have to know that I saved your life. Is this how you treat your savior? - You saved me?
- What else? Who else is in this room but me? I saved you once as well. We can call it even. I saved you twice,
but you only saved me once. How do you call that even? Twice? Why twice? I rescued you from the fire last time as well. Are you going to deny it? It's you? You do change your attitude really quickly. I'm just surprised. I was hunted by assassins,
so I offended you out of anxiety. I apologize to you for that. Those assassins... I've wronged you. I should know that you're not that sort of person. Of course not. I think that I must have been
indebted to you in my previous life. That's why whenever you're in danger
during this lifetime I show up just in time. No. You're the god that
Heaven has sent to rescue me. God? No, I just happen to run into you. You are... What are you doing? I have nothing to repay you with
for saving my life twice. You already admitted that I saved you so how could you just repay me
with a kowtow or two? What would you like me to do? I haven't figured it out. Why don't I think about it first? I'll let you know when I have an idea. I will surely repay your kindness. I'm Li Wei Young. May I be so bold
as to ask you for your name? My name is Tuoba Jun. Miss Wei Young, you're still frail. You shouldn't keep talking. Get some rest. Are you all right? I'm fine. I'll be right back. You can even play the zither? Surprised? Hardly anyone in Ping City can outdo me. Listen carefully. I heard that zither music can soothe one's mind. It might do you some good. Gods, have you heard my prayers? I actually ran into him again. Second Young Mistress is home! I've heard about the minister's daughter but I didn't know that
he has a second daughter. This is such a grand carriage.
She must be quite outstanding. Exactly. This is such a grand procession. The way is even cleared
for her return to the manor. Second Young Mistress has arrived. Greetings to Second Young Mistress
upon her return to the manor! [Minister's Manor] Chiyun Rou... Little did you expect me to return. Second Young Mistress. What is it? Why... Why does your face look so pale? I'll get you a mirror. Brother-in-law, look. Mother is here to visit Father as well? Doctor, what is the matter with Master Li? I'm afraid that Master Li
was poisoned with horsetail grass. Horsetail grass? What is that? Old Madam, horsetail grass is a poisonous herb. When used in large quantities,
it could cause death and in small quantities,
headaches and tightness in chest as well as gradual weight loss. Aren't those the symptoms
that he's been having? I thought that he was possessed. Is it serious? Don't worry, Old Madam. Master Li isn't severely poisoned. He just needs to take
the antidote for some time and he will get well soon. Why would you be poisoned
without any reason? Sir, have you been in contact with
anything odd or eaten any special food? There's nothing special about my meals. It's just the regular dishes. Then there's the Eight-treasure decoction
that Chang Le brings me every day. Eight-treasure decoction? I've never heard of it. What is that? It's a kind of supplement
to strengthen the body and prolong life. Instead of prolonging his life Father nearly lost his life after drinking it. Li Wei Young, what do you mean by that? I don't mean to imply anything. I won't say another word if Mother doesn't like it. Father, I've always been filial
and respected you greatly. How could I possibly poison you? Master, Chang Le is your daughter. Why would she harm you? Perhaps this decoction
doesn't work well on Father. Please have someone look at it. Anyone there? Present! Bring the ingredients of
Eldest Young Mistress's decoction here. Yes. Sir. The eight herbs in this decoction
are indeed beneficial to one's health. It's a great supplement for stamina. However, this Eight-treasure decoction will have to be called Nine-treasure decoction. There's an added poisonous herb. Horsetail grass. Chang Le, what do you have to say for yourself? Chang Xi gave me the recipe for that decoction. Uncle, I had a scar on my face,
so the doctor prescribed it for me. One day... Chang Le saw me taking it
and took the prescription from me. The ingredients I sent over
were always the right ones! There's no horsetail grass in it! Chang Xi, don't bother explaining. The truth will always prevail. If Brother-in-law doesn't believe us,
you can search our quarters. We have clear consciences.
You can search all you want. Sir, there's no horsetail grass in this batch. It is the real Eight-treasure decoction. - This is...
- Uncle! Do you now believe that I'm innocent? Master, this is obviously a setup. Someone must have poisoned you
and framed Chang Le for it. Who is trying to frame Chang Le? I will seek out that culprit eventually. Father, how could I possibly act so immorally? How could I possibly poison you? You have to believe me! Exactly. She isn't trying to harm Father. It's because it is me that she is after. Grandmother and Father,
I have a matter to report to you. That is my birth date on it. Wei Young, how dare you use witchcraft. Father, this is what they wanted you to assume. A couple of days ago,
Bai Zhi found this wooden figurine buried under a tree near the entrance. If Father coughs up blood
and falls into a coma like Mother did they will surely get someone
to find this wooden figurine to accuse me of harming Father with witchcraft. Who would have known that
Father was actually poisoned? Li Wei Young, what on earth are you implying? Sister-in-law, you didn't understand? But I did. Wei Young said that Chang Le
poisoned my brother-in-law in order to frame Wei Young of using witchcraft. You were actually poisoned previously. Wen Yi, what are you saying? Wei Young, I'll leave it to you. Mother had the same symptoms
that Father does now. She wasn't possessed at all. She was also poisoned by horsetail grass. Ridiculous. If I were poisoned why couldn't Imperial Physician Shen detect it? Imperial Physician Shen read my pulse,
but he didn't detect anything, did he? Chang Le. I know that you don't see
eye to eye with Wei Young but you shouldn't harm your father
in order to frame her! That is a deadly plant. It could have cost him his life. Now that you could harm your father,
what... what then? Are you going to deal with me next? It's not like that, Father! It isn't me! It really isn't! Father. It's Li Wei Young! Li Wei Young framed me, Father! Now that it has come to this,
you still refuse to repent? Master, how could you only believe
Li Wei Young's words? How would you know that she didn't
set Chang Le up to be acquitted? Perhaps she added the horsetail grass! Mother, why won't you let me off? May I ask Father how I could
possibly have poisoned you? I don't even get to see you very often unlike Chang Le,
who gets to see Father anytime. Moreover, if Mother truly
was poisoned instead of being possessed she is now recovered
because she also took the antidote. If Father investigates it you can surely find scraps of the herbs. Anyone there? Go to Hejian Quarters
and dig around the premises. Yes! Master, we found this in Madam Li's quarters. Doctor, take a look. Master, this is indeed the antidote. Master... Chiyun Rou, in order to frame Wei Young you first poisoned yourself
and then you poisoned me. What if that still didn't work? Are you going to poison Old Madam next? How outrageous! Rou, as the matron of the family how could you act in such a despicable way? You even made your daughter
poison her own father? Should this matter be known to anyone,
what would others think of the Li family? Master, you have to believe me. I've been wronged. I don't know about those herbs. Someone must have set me up. Old Madam... Set you up? Could Wei Young possibly
get into your quarters to frame you? Father, I have already suffered greatly
because of the witchcraft incident. Now that the truth is revealed,
please uphold justice for me. Chang Le. We're so wronged! Even your father doesn't trust us anymore. What's the point in staying alive? I would never admit to what I have never done! I'm willing to take my life to prove my innocence! Chang Le! My daughter... How wronged she must have felt! Master, Miss Chang Le tried to prove
her innocence by taking her life. She has obviously been wronged. Prove innocence with her death? Get it over and done with then. Killing herself to prove her innocence?
She's just putting up an act. Li Wei Young! It's you! It's all because of you! - Madam!
- Mother! Master, Miss Chang Le has been framed! She really is innocent! Atrocious maid! You must be involved in it as well! Anyone there? Drag her out to be caned 20 times! Yes! Master! Spare my life, Master! - Drag her away.
- Master! Master! No! - Madam!
- Master! Master, have mercy on me! Mother... Li Wei Young... Li Wei Young, I'll kill you! Chang Le! Father! Father... - Chang Le!
- Anyone there? Mother! Drag away this unfilial girl
who tries to kill her own father! Master! - Father!
- Master! I didn't mean to do it! - Please spare me...
- Drag this scum away! She is never to return without my permission! - Father!
- Chang Le! Chang Le! Don't! Chang Le! Father! Chang Le! Father! - Young Mistress!
- Chang Le! Master! This is entirely my fault! It is all my fault! Don't blame Chang Le! I have already lost my son. Master, please don't make me
lose my daughter as well! Exactly! This is all your fault! Yours! You destroyed both my children! Master... What are you still waiting for? Drag her out of here! Old Madam! Old Madam... Please... Chang Le is also your granddaughter. - Rou...
- I'm begging you... Please... Madam is severely ill
and in need of recuperation. Without my orders,
no one is allowed to visit her. Should the Chiyun family learn of
Min Feng and Chiyun Rou... Mother! I am disciplining my own children. Is the Chiyun family going to meddle in it? It is because of the Chiyun family
that Chiyun Rou did whatever she wanted. Look at this. What has happened to the Li family? Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory. Your Highness. I never raise a hand to women. But today, I've made an exception because of you. I don't wish to just hit you. I wish to kill you! It seems that Your Highness has
made the right assumption. Do you think that you can fool me? I know that you took the report. It seems that you're also the one
behind Crown Princess Consort's death. I know that I couldn't keep it from Your Highness. I've come especially to see
how Your Highness will deal with me. Even if I hacked you to pieces,
it wouldn't appease my anger. Do you care so much about Li Wei Young? Do you think that I'm angry
because of Li Wei Young? It's all because you got Chiyun Nan killed! Chiyun Nan was very important to me! But now, you have ruined everything! I did so for the sake of Your Highness. For my sake? You might have something on Chiyun Nan but as a commander how could he put up with serving under anyone? I knew that he wasn't entirely loyal
to Your Highness when he helped Li Chang Le
get close to Prince of Gaoyang. Otherwise, the manor wouldn't
have been broken into. Go on. Your Highness returned from the border
in victory and won over His Majesty. Now that Chiyun Nan is dead who will His Majesty hand over
his military power to? So you had all my best interests at heart? Should I thank you instead? Why would Your Highness
say such hurtful words to me? I know that I've done wrong. I did have my own reasons for stealing the report. That's because I can't allow
Li Wei Young to take away what I cherish as my treasure! What do you mean by that? Is that the safety amulet that
Li Wei Young gave to Your Highness? I could put up with the fact that you don't love me. But I can't bear to have Your Highness
fall for another woman! My ambition lies in taking over the world. I don't have any time for romance. I also hope that I'm wrong about it. She regards you as a sister. So? Your Highness taught me that we have to trample all those
who stand in our way under our feet! So much for kinship or friendship... What do they matter? Have you really forgotten about
that day 10 years ago? You once brought some comfort to
a little girl who ran away from home. Brother! Stop crying. Head home soon and think of
ways to become powerful. Trample all those who belittled you
under your feet! Be good. You were that girl? Yes. That was me. Although I was born into an aristocratic family I've always lived in the shadow of Li Chang Le. No one ever cared about me. My existence didn't matter. Your Highness pointed out my direction in life. You are the hope and expectation of my life. Your Highness. I've loved you for 10 years. Who could love you more than I do? How could I bear you having
some other woman on your mind? Are you really going to have Li Wei Young killed? Will Your Highness save her? You could save her by telling
the truth about the murder. However, Your Highness's plans
will also be exposed. For instance, why didn't Your Highness
hand over the report to His Majesty? It seems that you have everything thought out. I wish to stand by your side. Therefore, I have to give it my best. Since Prince of Nan-An let you out safely does it mean that he won't look
into this matter anymore? Once Li Wei Young is dead,
no other woman is a threat to me. This time, I seemed to have placed the right bet. Princess Anping?
She's just a remaining member of Northern Liang. She should be killed! Exactly! She should be killed! Wei Young! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! - Mother...
- Young Mistress! Wei Young! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! - Bai Zhi...
- Wei Young! Young Mistress! Young Mistress! - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Wei Young! - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Wei Young! - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Bai Zhi. Mother. I can rest in peace now that I get to see both of you before I die. Young Mistress, wait for me! I will join you very shortly! If you really regard me as a sister promise me that you'll look after my mother. - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Wei Young! No! Don't! - Young Mistress!
- No! No! Where is His Majesty? Your Highness, His Majesty has
gone to the Imperial Garden. Let us through! If Prince of Nan-An doesn't make it,
will you raid the execution grounds? Wei Young's life is hanging by a thread.
No mistakes are allowed! Hurry up! Block them off! How dare you! What are you doing? Please forgive us, Prince of Gaoyang! His Majesty ordered us to
escort Your Highness back home. Where is His Majesty? Your Highness, His Majesty is playing
chess with Consort Zhaoyi Lv. I've never seen His Highness in such a panic. It must be urgent. I wouldn't dare defy His Majesty. Please don't make it hard for us. - Your Highness...
- Get out of the way. You could kill me all you want
and get rewarded for it. Your Highness... - Your Highness!
- You mustn't, Your Highness! Your Highness, be careful! Your Majesty. It's your turn. Your Majesty, Prince of Nan-An
seeks audience with you. I don't wish to see him now. Head home. I have an important matter to report. If it concerns Li Wei Young it's best not to say a word. Father, do you remember two days ago you announced in court that
you still owe me a reward? You're here to ask for a reward? Don't say anything!
Bow to your father and admit your mistake. Jun begged you for this? Or have you also fallen for Li Wei Young? - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Don't! Didn't she assist Great Wei
in defeating Liu Song's army? Exactly. She even killed General Chiyun Nan. - Wei Young!
- No! Don't! Tuoba Jun... Do you really hate me so much? Forget it. Since we're not meant to be together in this life we shall meet in the next. - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress. It isn't what Father assumed. Although Chiyun Nan was killed by Jun Tao Li Wei Young was in the Imperial Dungeon so she had no way of contacting Jun Tao. Therefore, her instigation of
the murder can't be justified. Moreover, Li Wei Young was once sent
as the princess for a marital treaty. She rendered a great service
in the safeguarding of the fort. Even if it isn't enough to redeem her faults I hope that Father can spare her life. Can she kill someone just
because she rendered a service? That isn't what I mean. It's just that... Everyone now knows that Li Wei Young contributed to fending off Liu Song and she has yet to admit to her crimes. Should Father execute her now,
wouldn't it bring forth much debate? Please show her some mercy. Please retract the decree for now. If I refuse to consent to this,
what are you going to do? My daughter! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! Don't! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! My daughter... Wei Young! Sir, the criminal's identity has been verified. Time's up! Carry out the execution! Wei Young! Wei Young! - No!
- Don't! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! Father... I'm sorry. Wei Young is the most important person in my life. I simply can't let her die. Just pretend that you never had a son. - No!
- No! Young Mistress! - Wei Young!
- Young Mistress! Don't! The imperial decree is here! Go! In the presence of the imperial decree I dare anyone to act impetuously! What's going on? By the decree of His Majesty after much investigation Li Wei Young's alleged crimes are still questionable. As she has rendered a meritorious service
in safeguarding the fort against Liu Song she is to be forced into service within the palace until the truth is revealed. By the emperor himself! Wei Young! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! - Young Mistress!
- Wei Young! My daughter... Young Mistress... Li Wei Young! You won't have to die. It's you? Where is Wei Young? Why didn't you let me rescue her? Young Lord, I can't let you die. Young Lord! I don't care about anything else. If Wei Young is dead... No... I have to go to Wei Young! Young Lord! Please don't be so anxious. Li Wei Young is still alive. Young lady, have you kept that in mind? You're now a sinner. Don't even bring up a word
about claiming your innocence. You're also not to mention your identity. From now on, you're not a princess. Nor are you a young mistress of the Li family. You're just the lowliest maid in the palace. Do you understand that? Yes. Do you deem it unfair? The winner takes all. What is unfair about it? I can only obey His Majesty's supreme orders. These aren't words uttered
by the Li Wei Young that I know of. Chiyun Nan is already dead. I have had my revenge. His Majesty promised me to
treat the people of Liang kindly. He also spared my life. What else is there for me to ask for? This must be hard on you. I will take my leave now. All of you had better work efficiently. - Yes, Madam.
- Yes. What is that? Take that down. I'm Madam Lin. I'm in charge of the maids here. Whoever you might be, once you're here
you're just a maid! A servant! If you refuse to comply with my discipline you'll be punished by the palace rules. Do you understand? Yes, Madam. Come over here! This is your chore for the day. You must finish cleaning them before the sun sets. Otherwise, you'll be punished. Hurry up with the washing! If you end up delaying the concubines' schedules your heads will be chopped off! What are you looking at? Wash them quickly! Watch it or I'll beat you! You just got here. Don't stir up any trouble. Let me help you. You're quite smart. Has she always been like that? She was the first to come here
and she's very strong. We're all scared of her. It's best not to go against her. You'll have a hard time. Here, let me teach you. Wash it like this. You should hurry up. If you don't finish washing them before the sun sets,
you won't get dinner. Li Wei Young, the princess consort of the Prince of Gaoyang has made a request
of His Imperial Majesty. She hopes that as her younger sister, you can attend her wedding to the Prince of Gaoyang and personally help her to
change into her wedding dress. His Majesty has given his consent. He orders you to serve the princess consort of the Prince of Gaoyang on her wedding day today. Change your clothes now and leave with me. [Prime Minister's Manor] You are a slave, so you cannot use the main entrance. But our Young Miss said that this wedding dress must go through the main entrance. What are you still looking at? You are very familiar with this manor. Do you still need me to show you the way? [Prime Minister's Manor] Young Miss, your wedding dress is here. Come here. Serve me by assisting me with this dress. I want you to do it all. I already asked His Majesty's permission.
You are at my beck and call today. Li Wei Young, are you going to disobey his decree? I would not dare. I will serve Young Miss in putting on the dress. I am now the princess consort of Gaoyang. Yes. I will assist the princess consort with her dress. Tell me. Am I beautiful? Prince of Gaoyang... Wrong. I should call him... my husband now. My husband personally requested His Majesty
to grant my marriage to him. Are you very surprised? Heaven is fair. Whatever is mine, will always be mine. Those who want to snatch them away from me, none will have a good ending. Li Wei Young, tell me. What is my status now? Princess Consort of Gaoyang. What? Louder. I could not hear clearly. Princess Consort of Gaoyang. Speak louder! Princess Consort of Gaoyang! [Crown Prince's Manor] Your Highness, it is time
to put on your wedding outfit. Today... I am going to betray my most beloved person
and marry another woman. Perhaps, Wei Young and I may
become strangers in this life. I will no longer be qualified
to care about her happiness, anger, sorrows, or joy. Cheng De, let me ask you. What should I be happy about? Your Highness... I will not be by your side from now on
to perform my filial duties. I hope that Father, Mother, and Grandmother will take good care of their health. Chang Le, in the future, you must serve the Prince of Gaoyang well. Do not slight him. Understand? I understand. Chang Le! When you enter the prince's manor,
you must watch your actions. Serve your husband like your father. You must remember this. Mother. Chang Le. I will not be able to be with you whenever I want. You must take good care of yourself. This is my gift to you. I hope you and the Prince of Gaoyang will live harmoniously. Thank you, Mother. You must take care of your health. Wei Young. I, your unfilial daughter,
greet Grandmother and Father. Just what are you saying? Are you not the princess of Northern Liang? Why are you still calling yourself Wei Young? Do not call me Father.
I do not have a daughter like you. Grandmother. Today is a happy and grand occasion.
Let us focus on congratulating Chang Le. Let us not quibble about other matters. Master, the wedding entourage is here. Chang Le, go now. Wei Young, are you okay? I understand the bitterness in your heart.
I am useless. I could not help you at all. I am fine. Do not worry. The bride gets in the sedan.
Everything will go smoothly. Wei Young, help me get in the carriage. I am an inauspicious person.
Princess Consort of Gaoyang, are you not afraid that I will bring you bad luck? What are you saying? After all, we were cousins. It is more meaningful
if you help me up into the sedan. [Prime Minister's Manor] The bowing ceremony begins! First bow! Bow again! Third bow! So ends the ceremony! [Crown Prince's Manor] Li Wei Young, go back. Wei Young. Your Highness. Head Eunuch, I have a matter to discuss with her. Your Highness, as you wish. This was Crown Princess's last wish.
Do not blame Jun. I do not blame him. We were not fated in the end. [Prime Minister's Manor] How is my wife? Chang Le! - Madam.
- Rou. Chang Le! - Wife.
- Rou. Madam! Madam, wake up! Madam! Madam! Madam has passed away. Rou... Rou! Madam, look at me. Madam... Your Highness, it is time to lift the veil. Your Highness, My Lady,
please drink the marriage wine. You may all leave now. Yes. Your Highness, do you know how long
I have waited for this day? Your Highness. I am sorry, Chang Le. I am going to the study room to sleep. Your Highness! Marrying you was my mother's last wish, but she left not too long ago. I still need to complete my filial duties. Please understand. Have an early rest. Your Highness. Your Highness! We have not done the hair knotting ritual yet! This crown princess,
even though she is already dead, is still trying to foil my plans. [Wei] I finally get to have you. From now on, you are my empress. Bow! Tuoba Yu! Tuoba Jun! You killed the emperor to usurp his throne! Death awaits you today! Kill all rebels! Protect His Majesty! Don't move! Min De! You did pretend to be insane. You had this all planned right from the beginning. I really hope that... none of this is true. Then you could still be my uncle. You have been deceiving me all along as well? I would never disappoint
the former emperor or collude with you. Imperial officials! When the former emperor passed away,
he did leave behind an edict. However, the throne was not to be
passed on to Tuoba Yu. The throne was to be passed on to
Prince of Gaoyang, Tuoba Jun. What? The throne is for Prince of Gaoyang? How could this happen? The former emperor found out that Tuoba Yu framed and caused the death
of Crown Prince Jing Mu. The spy that Tuoba Yu planted
by the emperor's side is Zong Ai! He killed the former emperor! He did it! Prince of Nan-An did it! Is this true? Yes. The former emperor told me himself
before he passed away. Why did you lie to us then? It's because he threatened me with
the lives of Prime Minister's family! I had no choice but to give in temporarily. However, little did you expect that
before the former emperor passed away he not only left me an oral edict but also a secret of Great Wei that was
passed down from generations of emperors. I pass on the throne to Prince of Gaoyang. Tuoba Jun. And... And... Within the palace is a secret passageway... It leads you out of the city. The entrance is within the Grand Hall. This secret passageway was built to prevent mutiny. This is only passed down to generations of emperors. No one else knows about it. You must tell Jun about it. It's because of that we could
turn the situation around now. There's no evidence to prove it. You said such nonsense in order
to make Prince of Gaoyang the emperor. If it was for my own benefit,
I am already the empress now! Why should I take such a risk? I simply can't betray
the former emperor's posthumous edict to assist such a treacherous man to become the ruler. I can't let those innocent souls
turn over in their graves either. Master Gao. This concerns the honor of the imperial family. Please guide the other officials out
of the hall to give us some privacy. We will take our leave now. I'll keep watch outside! It's now very clear to everyone who the real traitor is. You should all know the answer. Your duty is to protect the palace
and the imperial family. Not to be the pawns of a traitor! Leave now! Yes! Tuoba Yu. You had my parents killed. You had Grandfather killed. Just for your own personal gain you stained your hands with the blood of your kin. A person like you should be crushed in defeat. I don't understand... How did you manage to plan this? The love between us isn't as fragile as you think it is. Our vows and those days we pulled through together... Have you forgotten about them? If you want to remember those vows,
remember them for life! Listen up. Your ending could only be associated with Rouran. There's a secret passageway
that leads right into the Grand Hall. Await Prince of Gaoyang and meet up with him. My and Tuoba Yu's wedding day
is the day to eliminate all rebels. Trust me. I'd never lie to you. Wei Young said that she'd never lie to me. I believe her. We said that we will always be together
and will never part. Those words that sounded like insults was her hint to make me come up
with a way to leave the palace and look for Li Min De. Your minds are so in sync. Jun, you'd better not forget that
you are still poisoned. I have the antidote. What happened? Why is Jun Tao in the palace? Arrest them! Yes! Your Highness! How did this happen? Where is His Majesty? Prince of Gaoyang has seized your emperor. Tuoba Jun? Isn't he insane? How did you get in here? You didn't expect there to be
a secret passageway in the palace. Take them away! - Yes!
- Move it! Let... Let go of me! - Let go of me!
- Your Highness! Your Majesty! Your Majesty... Secret passageway... Hand over the antidote. Will you let me go if I give you the antidote? Tuoba Yu, you have done so much evil. The law won't condone you. However, considering that you're still my uncle I will give you a dignified death. Jun. I never need anyone's pity. I will have to die anyway. Let both of us die together. If I count the days, the poison
must have already affected you. Now that I have you with me
on my way to the Netherworld I won't be lonely. It's not just the two of you. But three. Great. I will let both of you end up as lovers in death. Li Chang Le. What have you done? What now? She was poisoned with the same drug as yours. Tuoba Jun. You must feel such agony. Take her away! Move it! Destiny... It's destiny. Where is the antidote? Tell me where the antidote is! Wei Young! - Wei Young!
- Wei Young! Wei Young, are you all right? I'm fine. Tuoba Yu. I promise that as long as you hand over the antidote I will spare your life. Tuoba Yu, you want to kill me? Sure. But I beg you to spare Tuoba Jun for the fact that you both share the same royal blood. I have never once begged anyone in my life. Before I die, I beg you... I beg you to spare Tuoba Jun. Wei Young. Wei Young! Fine. I will hand over the antidote. Jun, come with me. Li Min De! Wei Young, wait for me. - Don't move!
- I'll be right back. Wei Young... Wei Young! Hang in there. You'll get the antidote soon. Why is there only one left? Exactly. There is only one dose. You and Li Wei Young... Only one of you are destined to survive. Tuoba Jun. I'd really like to know how you will make this choice. If it were Wei Young,
she would surely give the antidote to me. Likewise. I'd want her to stay alive. I hope that she could always
have a better life than mine. Tuoba Yu... You know nothing of love. Foolish. Uncle, I'll ask you for a favor. If you really once loved Wei Young,
don't tell her a word about this. Secret passageway... I must find the secret passageway. Secret passageway... Secret passageway... Your Majesty, wait for me. Wei Young, I have the antidote. - Did you take it?
- I did. Are you cured of the poison? Tuoba Jun. I'm just teasing you. This isn't some miracle pill. How could I recover right away? But I already feel much better now. Here. Take yours quickly. You'll be fine now that you took it. We finally pulled through this. Stop holding on to her. Let go. Wei Young, let's go. Why are your hands so cold? Tuoba Jun! Tuoba Jun! - Tuoba Jun!
- Your Highness! Tuoba Jun! Your Highness. Tuoba Jun! Tuoba Jun! What's wrong? Tuoba Jun. Why did you lie to me? Didn't you already take the antidote? What happened? There's only one antidote in the world. Anyone there? Tuoba Jun... In order to save you he had to sacrifice his own life. Tuoba Jun. There's actually such a fool in this world. Don't die, Tuoba Jun! Should anything happen to you... If anything happens to you I will not go on living either. Tuoba Jun... Let me take a good look at you. Promise me. Stay alive. Stay alive and live happily. Tuoba Jun. Tuoba Jun! You have to stay alive. Tuoba Jun! Tuoba Jun! Tuoba Jun. Your Majesty. Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You... Your Majesty. Why did you do this? Why? Li Wei Young will harm you! Why did you protect her? Nothing matters anymore. Why are you so persistent? And you? Are you not? I was born to seize power. Without it... I'd rather die. Your Majesty. If Li Wei Young didn't exist,
would I have become your wife? Chang Ru... I'm sorry. I've let you down. Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you mustn't die! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't worry. I won't let you feel alone. I will keep you company. - Wei Young.
- Tuoba Jun. How is he? Can this poison be cured? Since I've diverted Wei Young... I'm already prepared to hear the truth. Just speak your mind. Your Highness. This poison is fatal. Only its antidote could truly remove
the poison from your system. With my medical skills I can only suppress it for some time. Suppress it for some time? What does that mean? It's a regular treatment for His Highness
to prevent the poison from acting up. It can keep His Highness alive for some time. However... This can last only five years at most and no more than 10 years, Your Highness! You then might... These five years... Or 10 years... That's already a gift from the gods. Thank you, Imperial Physician Liu. I will surely do my very best
to nurse Your Highness's health. Gentlemen. I have one more favor to ask of you. Just tell us whatever you wish for. As for my health condition,
I hope to keep it from Wei Young. There isn't much time to spend with her. I hope that she can spend these years with me happily. I know that you care about Wei Young,
but you shouldn't despair. It isn't entirely hopeless. Who knows? Perhaps after some time Imperial Physician Liu could
come up with a new antidote. Tuoba Jun. Listen. You're the only person who can make Wei Young happy. So... You can't give up. I know. I will never give up until the last moment. [Taifu Hall] The emperor and empress are to receive
congratulatory bows from the officials! Blessings to His Majesty and Empress! I've waited way too long for this moment. So much has happened. Fortunately, we never gave up on one another. I will never give up on you. If this moment never came,
I'm willing to keep on waiting. All my lifetime... I'll keep waiting lifetime after lifetime. So will I. Here's another batch of flowers planted. Are you happy? Yes. It's my greatest joy to see you happy. Who hung these up? Who else could it be? These are the lanterns you made for me. I definitely have to hang them up myself. I'd like to listen to the zither. Could you play me a tune? Sure. As man and wife, we are united forever. We never doubt our love. Let us enjoy our fill tonight As tender as a cooing dove. Holding your hand, I give a sigh. My tears... Enjoy the spring flowers in view. Do not forget our time in glee. Safe and sound, I'll come back to you. Even killed, my love won't die with me. [Taifu Hall]
