Princess Consort, what are you doing? Nothing. Princess Consort, all those are your dowry. What really are you doing? She’s pawning them. Your Highness. What are you saying? What am I saying? What are you doing? – Give it back to me! – You actually are not that stupid. You chose those without any symbols.
But don’t forget that everything that happens in Pingcheng is under my watchful eye. Even if you want to conceal it, someone will report it to me. These are my things. Why must I inform you? Chuyu! What matter is it that you can’t tell me about? This is my private matter.
We are a married couple. When I was sick, you had been taking care of me. But when I woke up, you were gone. Why? Because you have Concubine Ma taking care of you. The person I want to see is you. Why didn’t you come? Okay. Let me ask you in another way.
What matter is it that you can’t tell it to me? Sorry. This is really my private matter. I can solve it on my own. – Confucius says, – Confucius says, – “Learning proficiency for officialdom.” – “Learning proficiency for officialdom.” – It is such a pleasurable thing. – It is such a pleasurable thing.
Hong Xiu! Chuyu? Don’t you lack some items? I brought you all of them. I brought you all food, toys, and even candy “men”. Stop just looking. Come over here! Hurry and come! Here. I want a tiger. – I want one too. – Here. This is yours. Xueyun? Why are you here?
Your Highness has not yet fully recovered. I was worried, so I especially came to check on you. But you were not around all day. Where did you go this morning? I was bored, so I went out to stroll. Really? Xueyun… what’s wrong? Your Highness clearly went to the courtyard of the Princess Consort.
Why must you lie? Your Highness never lied to me before, so how come the Princess Consort is an exception? I still have memorials to handle. Go back now. Your Highness! Your Highness..I was wrong. I wasn’t careful with my words. I didn’t intend to make you angry.
I just care too much about you. Xueyun! Does Your Highness still remember the promise you made to me? It’s good if you still remember. As long as you remember, I will not ask for more. Your Highness will treat me well. This is what you promised me. I promise you. Red Phoenix Room Lanruo.
What are those clothes? The palace is holding a budaqiu tournament today. (T/N lit. “step-hit-ball”. Horseless polo or field hockey are similar, renamed later as “Chuiwan” – a Chinese “golf”) This is the outfit prepared for you. What is ”budaqiu”? Before, the nobles in the palace liked playing polo.
Afterwards, they noticed that the horses liked to run around, forming dust clouds in the air. Hence, they just forego the horses and personally play the game. Anyway, just go see it today. It’s really fun. What a novel game! – How come you didn’t tell me beforehand? – I did.
You surely have forgotten it. Let me see. When you go today, you must take good care of His Highness. Rong Zhi is also going? That’s right. Actually, I also found that strange. He hasn’t fully-recovered yet, how could he personally go on the field to play?
If Rong Zhi doesn’t go, won’t that just make Prince Kang happy? – Go out now. – Yes. I don’t understand. Shen Yu turned the whole city of Pingcheng upside down, yet was unable to find the assassin. This Prince Kang was initially the prime suspect, but no hard evidences were obtained from him.
The whole court now is watching these two princes. The more the wind and the waves are the fiercest, the more the Prince Regent must brave the difficulties and face them. Let them all see that His Highness is still standing, despite going through tough times.
Princess Consort, sometimes, you make me feel that you are muddled, but sometimes you are actually very smart. A person should be smart at the appropriate time, be muddled at the appropriate time. This way, you’ll be happier. I’m changing my clothes now. Greetings to Your Majesty. Everyone, rise. Don’t kneel anymore.
Today, we’re here to watch you all play, and not to kneel and bow. Hurry and rise. Come. Chuyu, why are you wearing a player’s clothing today? You also plan to play? Of course. Just watching is boring. Of course, I have to join the game. Chuyu. I just have to join. Your Majesty…
What do you think? There’s nothing wrong about it. But since there is a lady joining the team of the Prince Regent, who’s willing to join Prince Kang’s team then? Your Majesty, I’m willing to join. Who is this? Your Highness the Empress Dowager. She is that clothes-washing servant. Clothes-washing servant?
You are indeed beautiful, like the rumors say. Your Majesty, just let her join. If there are only competitive men on the field, it is quite boring. Having some more beautiful scenery of bouquets of flowers and piles of silks, it will make one watch more happily.
Okay. Each team will have one more additional member then. Whoever wins, I will heavily reward the team. Prince Regent, you’re haven’t fully recovered, and you’re still playing? Aren’t you afraid of dying here? Even if I haven’t fully recovered, I still can beat you. If you don’t believe it, just wait and see.
Okay. I’ll be waiting to see it then. Ready! Your Highness the Empress Dowager is worried about His Highness the Prince Regent, right? The Prince Regent has outstanding ball skills and has repeatedly won this game, what is there for me to worry about? Not worried?
Looking at how focused Your Highness the Empress Dowager was watching, I thought that Your Highness was worried that His Highness doesn’t have enough vigor yet, since he just recovered from a major illness. This time, you’re wrong. I am looking at that beautiful woman by Prince Kang’s side. Look at her. Vermilion red lips.
Limpid, autumn water-like eyes. Even in the whole city of Pingcheng, a lot of daughters from famous and illustrious families can’t even compare to her. No wonder Prince Kang could ignore decency, and insisted on making her stay by his side. He doesn’t even want a Princess Consort anymore! This is the classic example of
“even if the Ruo River is three thousand li long, one only drinks one ladle of water from it”, and “only loving the beauty, and not loving the empire”. (T/N romantic folly instead of princely duties) Your Highness, thank you for the instruction. Men… always tend to like the new and hate the old.
Those toys that can’t be brought up the stage, (T/N public attention or ceremony) are only played with for a moment of novelty. After a year or a half, they naturally will forget about them. Oh? Really? It is like that indeed. How are you? Come. Are you alright? I’m fine.
– Despicable. – You can only blame yourself for being incompetent. This game is quite exciting. I initially thought that those women will just be there to amuse us. Never thought that they will be fighting this hard! They just want to make Your Majesty happy. Be careful! Princess Consort. 1
A woman not inferior to a man in skills. Good shot! This Prince Regent’s Consort really has big guts. Since it’s a competition, of course, we must have a victor. Or else, why bother having a competition? Let each of them just shoot one ball then. Princess Consort, are you alright? Of course, I’m fine.
– Your Highness. – Why are you being reckless? This is just a game. No need to risk your life for it. I don’t want to embarrass you. More importantly— No matter what the reason is, you must not get yourself hurt. Or else, I will get mad at you, and won’t mind you anymore.
Just sit here. Don’t get hurt again. I’ll wait here for Your Highness then. Okay. Evil, alluring spirit! Let the Prince Regent’s Consort leave the field too. She had better not get injured. Yes. Prince Regent’s Consort, Her Highness the Empress Dowager asks that you enjoy the game with her.
This game is so interesting. I haven’t played enough. Chuyu, how important is the face of the Prince Regent’s Consort? What if it gets hurt? It will be fine, Your Highness the Empress Dowager. Come up here. 2 – Good! – We won! We won! Good! We won! Prince Kang, I won.
Prince Regent, next time, you won’t be this lucky. Your Highness. Your Highness, are you unhappy because we lost? Why would I be? That was just a competition. I don’t really care. Oh, right. Why were you too rash today?
I want to see how much the Princess Consort is worth in the heart of the Prince Regent. He clearly was nearer to her than I was. Just by extending his arm, he could have saved her. But he was aloof, and not concerned at all. That’s not what I think.
He clearly could have done her a favor at little cost, but he pretended to be aloof. Maybe it was just like the rumors say, that he hates the Prince Regent’s Consort very much. But there is one more possibility. What possibility? He doesn’t want others to see his thoughts.
The more so, he doesn’t want the Prince Regent’s Consort to become the target of multiple arrows. You are really overthinking. The person that Rong Zhi loves is Concubine Ma. All of Pingcheng knows that. Maybe I was indeed overthinking. Don’t let others see next time your appearance with your hair down. Why?
Because only I am worthy to see it. Others are not worthy enough. Mistress, I’ve brought the person. What happened in the ball game today? The Princess Consort slipped and fell. The Prince Regent was nonchalant about it. Everyone is saying that the Prince Regent hates the Princess Consort a lot.
Instead, it was General Shen that was very concerned about her. General Shen? General Shen assisted the Princess Consort up, and escorted her to get treated. He showed great concern for her. Shen Yu? That is quite interesting. Leave first. Yes. Bixi. I’m here. Are we really just going to throw out these Nansha cakes?
The Empress Dowager is from Changlexin City. These Nansha cakes are her favorite local delicacy. Concubine Ma made them so many times, but she’s not satisfied with them. How can we then offer them to the Empress Dowager? That’s why, we can only throw it away.
I remember that there is one more plate in the kitchen. Why not we take it and divide them among us? What are you doing! I thought I knew who it was that stole the desserts made for the Empress Dowager. So the thief was you.
You don’t go stealing other stuff, and just have to steal food. Do you like embarrassing your mistress? These are things that you are discarding. Can’t I still eat them? Even if I leave it for the dogs, I will not leave it to you. Try saying that again! Someone come, somebody!
What are you doing? Let go of her! See that? She is so shameless. She actually stole the Nansha cakes made by Mistress for the Empress Dowager. You thief, you’re really shameless. – That’s right. – How could you steal the cakes made for Empress Dowager. – Kick her out of the manor.
– You should be kicked out of the manor. – Hurry and go out! – You’re so shameless! Don’t come back here again. Who has such power to kick Qingyue out of the manor? You little… I thought it was some big deal.
Mistress was just hungry and asked Qingyue to come to the kitchen to look for some snacks. How come it caused this huge ruckus? Greetings to the Princess Consort. Where is Qingyue? Replying to the Princess Consort, I haven’t seen her. That silly girl, where did she go?
I don’t usually use any fragrance. Why are you lighting one today? Last night, there were flying bugs in the room that disturbed Princess Consort’s sleep. The Chief Maidservant especially instructed us to prepare fragrances for the Princess Consort. These are fragrant herbs that can drive away bugs, so the Princess Consort can sleep soundly.
Lanruo is really so considerate. Leave now. Yes. Princess Consort! Princess Consort. What’s wrong? I feel so hot. I feel so unwell. Princess Consort. So hot… Princess Consort… Princess Consort… – Concubine Ma! – You! Concubine Ma. I heard that the Princess Consort got hurt during the game.
I especially came to deliver her some medicines. I’ll go in to inform her first. Wait. What? A measly chief maidservant now dares to block my path? Let me tell you this… today, I have to go in! Stop right there! Concubine Ma! What were you trying to do?
We didn’t know that Your Highness is here. Please forgive us. Get out! Come out. Your Highness. I’ve already placed the fragrant incense in the Princess Consort’s room. You did well. Chuyu… Shen Yu! Chuyu. Chuyu! Wake up. I’m so dizzy. Your Highness, if you had not arrived here,
Even if I committed suicide to pay for my crimes, I wouldn’t be able to clear my name. – Even the Princess Consort… – I know. The Princess Consort suffered from the effects of the philter fragrance. You blocked her sleeping acupoint. Must we call for a doctor?
No need. She was able to open the scent censer in time. Her poisoning isn’t that deep yet. Then Concubine Ma… No need to say more. Go back first. Yes. Sorry. Lord, lord, forgive me! – This maidservant betrayed her mistress for money. – Lord, have mercy!
– His Highness has ordered that she put to death by flogging. – Lord… – Yes! – have mercy… No! No! Hit her! Continue hitting! Continue hitting! Your Highness. Xueyun, why is your face so pale? – I… – That…the wind is strong here. Mistress’ health is weak.
I was just urging her to return to her room now to rest. Really? Yes. I thought it was because you were very frightened… that’s why your complexion was so pale. I don’t understand…what Your Highness means. Xueyun is very intelligent. How could you not understand?
It’s just that people who have an ability to unlock an additional solution easier than others (T/N lit. “a key” – smarter) tend to be gloomy, overthink, and get bed-ridden with lingering disease. Yes. The wind is strong here outside. Go back early to rest. Mistress. – Bixi… – Mistress. He knows everything.
He knows everything. Got flogged to death? Yes. This morning, His Highness ordered that the maidservant be put to death by public flogging. Who did you say lit that philter scent in your room yesterday? His Highness didn’t even interrogate, and just directly had that person put to death.
Now that things have come to this, is there still a need to ask? You really are so stupid. Don’t you still understand? Let me ask you, who deliberately lured us away from here yesterday, and who brought people to catch a couple in an illicit act? Concubine Ma!
Princess Consort, His Highness’ actions are also his way of giving you justice. For Concubine Ma, it’s also a warning. But isn’t the mastermind still doing well? – Princess Consort! Princess Consort! – Princess Consort! Princess Consort, please forgive me. I boldly ask you to stop going after this matter. Lanruo, what are you doing?
Princess Consort, Chancellor Ma is the head of the court officials. If you punish Concubine Ma, he’ll surely come to take revenge. Even if only for the peace between Song and Wei, you must not make her pay for her crimes now. So, I have to endure it? May Princess Consort be forgiving. Fine.
I can endure it this time, and won’t make any more fuss about it. But I hope that she will stop from now on. She will. She surely is extremely afraid now, and won’t dare to do it again. Hope so. Our Emperor high above… That… His…His Majesty…. His Majesty…
The birthday celebration of Shakyamuni Buddha (T/N aka “Siddartha Gautama Buddha”, founder of Buddhism. Shakya is his clan) is very important for all of Great Wei! Being a Liu Song princess, it’s your first time attending such a ceremony.
You can’t even memorize just these lines? Did you really try your best to memorize them? Of course I did! But on this one that you gave me, they are either in Sanskrit or in Xianbei language. I can’t understand them at all. I already tried my best!
Even if you are unable to memorize it, you still must try. As the Prince Regent’s Consort of Great Wei, the peace envoy and Princess of Liu Song, if you can’t even memorize such things, won’t you invite the mockery of the entire Imperial court?
Memorize. Continue memorizing, until you are able to memorize all of them. If you are unable to, you must not waste even a moment. You’re so annoying. Xueyun? Why are you here? Since His Highness returned to the manor, you’ve been busy with state affairs.
I was worried about your health, so I especially made some medicinal food for you. I just didn’t expect that the Princess Consort would also be here. Bixi, why are you just standing there? Hurry and clean this up. – Yes. – I’ll do it on my own. Mistress!
What’s going on? Why are you so careless? I am so clumsy. I’ve disturbed you two. Zhao Xiang, you supervise the Princess Consort. I’ll just escort Concubine Ma back to her room. Yes. Xueyun, let’s go. Princess Consort. Princess Consort! Actually, I can’t understand all that’s written here.
Before, Lanruo would dictate them to me one by one, thus, I was able to remember some words. Then, where will I start to teach you? Just start with the fourth word on the second row. Princess Consort, I’ll be starting now. Sincerely praying to Buddha. Hoping that the heavens will bless us.
Xueyun, what’s wrong? Your Highness is not in the mood to listen to my qin tune. Why bother forcing yourself? (T/N unbridged zither) I recently have been busy preparing for the offering ceremony for Buddha, and have neglected you. Hope you won’t think too much about it. I am just a bit worried…
There’s nothing to worry about. Everything will go smoothly. I still have memorials to edit. I’ll take my leave first. Your Highness! You always remember the thing that you promised me, right? How come you have to ask it at least once a day? Since I’ve promised you, then I surely will do it.
Okay. I believe you then. You must not disappoint me. The night is deep. Sleep early. Mistress, what are you really worried about? Bixi… he has been brushing me off. His Highness is just busy with state affairs, and unable to give you more attention. But in his heart, he still cares for you.
Don’t forget. His Highness has been sending so many precious medicinal products. All those are to help improve your health. When he was with the Princess Consort earlier and he saw that you’re hurt, didn’t he immediately— What are you laughing about? I’m laughing at how laughable you are.
You’re just changing methods to amuse me, while I…am more laughable than you are. I am just deceiving myself. I have always been deceiving myself. From accompanying me back up to now, after I’ve played the zither for so long, I’m afraid he didn’t even pay any attention to what zither tune I was playing.
Tell me. What kind of relationship is this? – Your Highness. – Stop making her memorize those difficult words anymore. Change them to something simpler, make it more direct. The shorter, the better. Okay. Also, tomorrow morning, while she’s not up yet, hide my cape. Don’t let her find out. Cape? I understand.
Your Highness! Your Highness, the poison in your body hasn’t been completely removed yet. Today, you’ve over-exerted yourself because of state matters. Should I call for the Imperial Physician? No need. I’m just too tired. Don’t disturb the palace. Don’t say anything anymore. Move faster. Yes. Your Highness. Has the Imperial Physician come already?
He did. He said that His Highness’ health is very weak. He needs to nourish it and recuperate, so he left some medicinal formula. Where is the prescription? Let me see. Wan’er, aren’t you still going to hurry and go get it? Concubine. This maidservant looks very unfamiliar.
She initially was a maidservant in the palace of the Empress Dowager. Because she is clever and obedient, that’s why she was especially sent to stay here. I quite like her. Send her to Fangcao Ge (Fragrant Plant Pavilion) today. This…
His Highness gave instructions before that as long as its available in the manor and I ask for it, I can have it. Has Permanent Palace Attendant Zhao forgotten about it? Yes. Wan’er. I am here. Go back with Concubine Ma. Serve her well. Yes. Fangcao Ge (“Fragrant Plant Pavilion”) Mistress.
Let her do it. Concubine, please have some tea. You came from the palace? You indeed are pretty and have a slender figure. Looks like Her Highness has sent me a companion. Mistress, I’m just following orders! I don’t have any intentions of attaching myself to people of power!
No such intentions? How come you were so eagerly attentive? No…I am not. You must have misunderstood. Which hand did you use to touch His Highness? Concubine… I remember it was the right hand, right? Then use your right hand to clean up the water drops. Concubine… You can’t even do such a simple thing?
Letting you keep that hand is useless then. No… It was my fault. I was wrong. I will go wipe it up now! People say that prolonged illness makes a doctor. I have been weak and frequently ill since I was little. I know more medicinal principles than the average person. This prescription looks good.
But in reality, it lacks a guide medicine. Guide medicine? That’s right. A guide medicine. Concubine, have mercy! Concubine, please forgive me! Concubine, please forgive me! Why are you so stubborn? You’re already like this, and you still think about state affairs all day? Is power really that important for you?
Princess Consort, His Highness is currently resting. Princess Consort, lighter. Greetings to the Concubine. Greetings to the Princess Consort. No need for formalities. Your Highness. Don’t wake him up. He’s resting. Your Highness. It’s time to take your medicine, Your Highness. I was afraid that you’d died from illness, so I especially came to look.
How come there is a weird taste? Your Highness, I personally cooked this medicine. Nothing wrong will happen. How come there is a sweet, foul taste? What did you put in this? Your Highness, this medicine is similar with what you usually drink. It’s just that there was an additional guide medicine. Guide medicine?
What guide medicine? It’s flesh from my arm. Your Highness! Ma Xueyun! Are you crazy! Who adds human meat to a medicinal soup? Princess Consort, there’s something that you don’t know. There are so many weird medicinal guides in this world.
Ten years ago, when our empire’s great general went on an expedition against Rouran, he suddenly fell ill midway. All the medicines failed to work, and his life was hanging by a thread. A miracle doctor then used some loess as a guide medicine. (T/N a windblown yellow silt soil) That cured his illness.
Everyone found it weird. How could some loess cure an illness? It was then found out that what he got was homesickness. The loess just happen to address the cause. With the same logic, using human flesh as a guide medicine indeed sounds absurd, but this is also documented in medicinal classics.
Xueyun, let me see your arm. I’m fine. How can you be this stupid? Those are just legends. As long as it’s for Your Highness, I will try any legend no matter how absurd they are. Xueyun… it was really hard for you lately. With these words from you, I’m willing to do anything.
Why must you hurt yourself? This is very stupid. Your Highness, I just want you to get better soon. Don’t worry. I will not disappoint you. Tell me, how can a woman like that exist in this world? Is she crazy? Cutting off a piece of flesh from her arm as a medicinal ingredient?
And Rong Zhi even felt touched by it? What I felt was fear! How scary is a love like that! What if one day, the love becomes hate? You eat a piece of flesh from her today. Next time, she’ll cut out your intestines! What are you laughing about?
I’m asking you what you’re laughing about! I’m serious here. I’m not joking with you! Sorry… I didn’t mean to do it… What’s wrong with your arm? Princess Consort, don’t worry. This was caused by me. It’s nothing grave. No need for you to worry. Let me see. What happened? Princess Consort…
Since you’re not talking, I’ll look at it by myself then. Your Highness, you should take a good rest. Don’t bother with the state affairs first. They will never end. Princess Consort, your suddenly charging here like this, isn’t it being rude? Wan’er, you tell him. This maidservant is…
She’s a maidservant that the Empress Dowager gifted you. But after Concubine Ma saw her, she liked her a lot. She then kept her by her side. She’s now working in the Fragrant Plant Pavilion. Your Highness, I saw that this maidservant was docile and adorable.
She also is quite clever, so I took her away. You don’t mind, right? It’s just a maidservant. You can take her if you want. Chuyu, you came here just to tell me that she took this maidservant away? Even if she’s a lowly maidservant, she’s still a living human!
Just for self-interest, Ma Xueyun actually sliced off a piece of flesh from her arm, just to support her wonderful claim of sacrificing for Your Highness! Aren’t you too ruthless? Is the life of a maidservant worth nothing to you? Xueyun, what’s this about? Do you still not understand?
This tender and amiable Concubine Ma of yours cut off the flesh from an arm of a servant maid in place of hers to serve as the guide medicine. This way, you will be more grateful to her and love her more. The wound on Wan’er’s arm is the proof! Xueyun, what is going on?
Princess Consort, you’re making slanderous claims. The Concubine also has a wound on her arm. If my guess is right, the wound on Ma Xueyun’s arm is fake, right? Just open up the gauze, and won’t we all clearly see it already? Princess Consort, were all those things told to you by Wan’er? Yes.
Mistress, we just dressed this wound earlier. I’m fine. Xueyun! Princess Consort, are you now satisfied? How is that possible! How is it possible! Your Highness, I didn’t lie! Last night, Concubine Ma ordered me to cut off a piece of flesh from my arm.
Since it was for Your Highness, there was nothing to be said against it. Never thought that Concubine Ma had such a plan! I understand now. You heard about the plan of the Mistress, deliberately cut off flesh from your arm, and then went to His Highness to make false accusations,
Claiming that Mistress stole your merit, is that it? Mistress has sincere love towards His Highness, that’s why she’s willing to hurt herself just for a guide medicine. You not only didn’t pity the painstaking efforts of Mistress towards His Highness, you even tried to claim merits for everything? Shameless maidservant.
No! I didn’t! I didn’t! I really didn’t! Princess Consort, what I said was all true! I didn’t lie! If what you said was all true, how then did your Mistress get the wound on her arm? I don’t know. I really don’t know. I believe Wan’er will not make up such a big lie.
This kind of lie is so easy to unmask. Rong Zhi, you are a smart person. You surely know who is trying to confuse everyone. It is indeed easy to unmask, so average people will not do such a thing.
But it was exactly because she was certain of that, that’s why she tried to risk it. If His Highness believes it, she’ll become an aggrieved, meritorious subject, a sparrow turning into a phoenix. If anything is to blame, it’s her wanting to get promoted fast.
Couldn’t wait to sow dissension in my relationship with Your Highness, and so lost a sense of propriety. She didn’t expect that Your Highness and I are deeply in love. How could our relationship be affected by just a few words from her? Wan’er tried to frame Concubine Ma. That’s insubordination.
She should be put to death by flogging based on rules. Since this is her first offense and giving considerations to the Empress Dowager, flog her twenty times, and send her back to the palace. No! No, Your Highness! – Men! – I can’t go back! I’ve already been given to you.
If I just go back like this, I’ll get beaten to death! Your Highness, have mercy! Help me! I didn’t lie! Rong Zhi, how come you can’t distinguish between right or wrong? This matter clearly was fishy! Princess Consort, what really have I done wrong
That you’d rather believe the words of a lowly maidservant than mine? Wan’er is a servant. Of course, she won’t have the guts to slander my mistress. But what if someone is backing her up? If that person gives her enough benefits, she naturally would be willing to take the risk.
So now you want to say that I instigated that maidservant, deliberately told her to lie, so as to destroy the sacrifice of Ma Xueyun? I dare not. But in this world, there are so many jealous women, unwilling to see His Highness and Mistress in such a harmonious relationship.
Always trying to drive a wedge between them. Qingyue! Enough! Ma Xueyun, since when is your maidservant allowed to be disrespectful to me? Bixi, how could you slander the Princess Consort? Slap your mouth. Enough. Your Mistress is kind. She told you to slap your own face to silence me.
But you get only one chance. If you let me hear you saying disrespectful words to me again, I’ll cut off your tongue. Do you hear me! Yes. Rong Zhi, this is your manor. You can do as you like. Let’s go. Your Highness, thank you for trusting me.
It’s just that this way, the conflict between you and the Princess Consort has become deeper. Xueyun, promise me. Don’t act to hurt others and hurt yourself anymore. If my health will require your blood and flesh in exchange, I’d rather die. Okay already. Go back early to rest.
No matter what happens in the future, I will be on your side. What’s wrong with you, Princess Consort? Who angered you again? Go ask Rong Zhi! Ask him what he’s done! His Highness? Isn’t His Highness sick?
Ma Xueyun clearly was the one who forced Wan’er to cut off her flesh to be made into a guide medicine. Rong Zhi already saw it, yet he won’t acknowledge it. He even said that Wan’er was lying,
And then punished her with twenty strokes of flogging, then said to drive her out of the manor. Is that fair! Maybe there is some misunderstanding? What misunderstanding can there be? If Wan’er really lied, would she have thought of such an absurd idea? Concubine Ma is from a noble family.
It’s not the first time that His Highness put importance on her (words) and was biased towards her. Why must you be this angry then? And I even thought that he… He what? Lanruo, if I say a sentence to you, you must bully me back with one, is that it?
Princess Consort, you should think about it well. Are you this angry because you feel injustice for Wan’er, or you’re being jealous? I…I…I…! Red Phoenix Room Mistress, why must you do this? Wan’er is a person sent bythe Empress Dowager.
You can hit or scold her, but you won’t be able to drive her away. But if she commits any big mistake, she can’t blame me anymore. But you didn’t need to hurt yourself for it, right? I asked her to cut off a flesh for His Highness to be made as a guide medicine.
Since she wanted to be promoted so much, of course she was willing to do it. But if I took the merit away from her, she surely would feel aggrieved. In the whole Prince Regent’s Manor, only Liu Chuyu can dare to resist me. I have foreseen that she would look for Liu Chuyu.
Even though she is smart, she’s not good with schemes. She even is warm-hearted and compassionate. Plus that little jealousy among women, she surely will help Wan’er seek justice. So you also cut off some flesh from your own arm. This way, Wan’er will appear as deliberately trying to frame you up.
The mastermind behind her will naturally become the Princess Consort, who is holding a grudge against you. That is really two birds with one stone. When His Highness saw my bloody and pitiful wound, he naturally would have tender and compassion thoughts toward me.
Plus the fact that he hasn’t fully recovered from his illness, his mood is currently irritable, so of course he would want to just make concessions to avoid further trouble. But the Princess Consort has such a strong personality. Their two characters will never be in harmony. Mistress, I know your painstaking efforts.
But looking at this wound… If Master knew about this, his heart would surely ache. Let me apply medicine first. Wait. Go and get me some salt. – Salt? – Go! Yes. Mistress, the salt is here. Mistress, applying salt to one’s wound is one of the worst tortures in this world!
What really are you… Mistress… Mistress? Mistress? If I use wound medicine, the wound will heal. But if I use salt… the wound will look worse. Mistress, that must be very painful. Just looking at it and I already feel so much pain.
Even if the wound worsens, can it be more painful than my heart! If His Highness sees it like this, he will feel more pity toward me. Moreover, I want to remember this pain very well. This was all given to me by Liu Chuyu. Princess Consort, don’t run so fast.
– Be careful. – Jeez, stop following me! I came to fetch you. Let’s go. Qingyue, for the Offering Ceremony to the Buddha, don’t come with us any further. Ha? – But… – You have me. Let’s go. Still not going? Silly girl, didn’t you hear what His Highness said?
He will accompany her. Let’s go. Mistress. Tell me… did His Highness find me very pretty today? This formal dress was prepared for the ceremony. This time, I was thinking that I surely will be able to wear this and walk beside His Highness. I just never thought… Is it pretty? Extremely beautiful. Xueyun.
Your Highness. Your Highness, why are you here? The wound in your arm isn’t healing well. I was worried about you, so I came to visit. My arm’s wound is almost healed. No need for you to worry. Why are you wearing that at this late hour?
Your Highness, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the Ceremony to Honor Buddha. This is the formal dress that I had customized. How about it? Is it pretty? Xueyun, sorry. – You can’t attend the ceremony. – Why? The Empress Dowager’s Imperial decree. Only the Princess Consort can go, you can’t join us. Xueyun, sorry.
Your Highness, just for this ceremony, do you know how much effort I gave to prepare? I just wanted to stand by your side! Xueyun… it is just a ceremony. Why must you be like this? It’s not that I want to compete for something.
As long as I’m able to stand behind you, even if it’s just in some corner… I’m begging you. Just let me come. I’m begging you! Xueyun, this is the Imperial rule. Even if I’m the Prince Regent, I can’t change it. Your Highness, just for you,
I was willing to compromise and just be a concubine. A concubine. Just a concubine. That is a lowly status. Even my close friends are secretly mocking me. They say that I married a man that’s unable to give me a status of being his official wife! But I don’t regret it.
As long as I’m able to stay by your side, I am willing to endure anything. I just want this one chance. I want them to know that I belong to the Prince Regent, that I can also stand under the sun, Your Highness! Let me go with you, Your Highness. Xueyun, stop crying.
Your Highness, even if I earnestly beg you, am I still not allowed to go? Xueyun, sorry. Mistress, let us go… Mistress, what are you doing? Mistress…Mistress! Mistress, stop doing things to harm yourself, okay? Mistress! Hope Buddha can bless Great Wei to be peaceful forever and the citizens happy.
To conclude the marriage alliance between Wei and Song… Prince Regent’s Consort, it’s your turn. Go now. You will represent Liu Song in showing your sincerity towards Wei and your determination to maintain the peaceful relationship between Song and Wei through the conclusion of the wedding alliance.
This is a very important ceremony for this year. Go now. I… What? Stage fright? I’m not. Just like what everyone knows, I traveled far and left my homeland to come here to Great Wei. I… My arrival is to conclude the marriage alliance between Song and Wei,
To stop the war, to eliminate the conflicts between Song and Wei, and bring the citizens long-lasting peace. – These lines are wrong. Didn’t we already prepared a script for her? – Wei and Song becoming one family. Chuyu doesn’t understand Xianbei language. She must have forgotten her line.
– This is improvised? – …the citizens living peacefully and happy. Share prosperity and glory. As Great Song’s Princess, I came here to Great Wei to exercise the duties of the wife of the Prince Regent. May Buddha bless us. Let Great Wei and Great Song stay united, and may their friendship last forever.
What’s going on? Come with me. – Men! Men! Put out the fire! Put the fire out! – Men! – Men! – Buddha’s statue! Men, where are you! Your Majesty, this is a warning from the heavens. Not only did the lamps in the three tiandeng suddenly ignite, (T/N sky lanterns, small hot-air balloons)
Even the sacrificial vessel was completely burned. No such thing has ever happened in the past ceremonies. This is heaven’s wrath. This is Buddha sending down punishment! How come this happened? Your Majesty, it must be because the prayer of the Prince Regent’s Consort,
Who is also this Liu Song princess, was insincere. It angered the heavens, hence, such a disaster happened. High Priest, you must have it wrong. Chuyu was sincere in praying for the peace between Wei and Song. How could she have angered heaven then?
Prince Regent, the High Priest has been making predictions and praying for blessings for thirty years. He never has been wrong. Don’t forget. Everything was fine while His Majesty was praying. How come mishaps happened when it’s the Liu Song princess’ turn? Whether it’s heaven’s wrath or someone’s evil plot, we must investigate it clearly.
Just to shield your Prince Regent’s Consort, you really will do anything. The offering ceremony to Buddha is a very important ceremony. In the past, one of the lamps of the three tiandeng didn’t get lit. Our ancestor tried to maintain peace and let it pass. But that year,
Huazhou suffered flooding and Yongzhou had an epidemic. There was seething public discontent and several uprisings. Now that the ceremonial stage got burned and destroyed, you are just brushing it off like that. Aren’t you afraid that this will cause you trouble?
I followed the rules when I prayed. How can there be any heaven’s wrath? The sudden fire was just accident. I didn’t intentionally do it. Your Majesty, please forgive Chuyu for being indiscreet out of anxiety. I just hope that you give me time to investigate this matter.
– Investigate? Are you suspecting the High Priest of lying… – Is that for real? or suspecting the will of the heaven as being wrong? – You… – Don’t get agitated. Your Majesty, urgent news from Anzhou. They say that the Song army attacked them last night and four hundred and twenty-three men were killed.
The attackers were wearing Liu Song military uniforms. Impossible! How could the Liu Song army pass across the borders and attack? Is this news accurate? I’ve already repeatedly asked them about it. Everyone had the same answer, that is the attackers are Liu Song soldiers. Also, there is one more situation. What situation?
Yesterday, the Feifeng General just happened to be in Yunmeng County. – Huo Xuan? – The Ministry of War sent a report that Feifeng General has been captured when she tried to rescue the women and children. It’s still unclear if she’s still alive. How come things became like this?
It’s impossible for Song to attack for no reason at all. Your Majesty, have you forgotten? There was an incident before of a fabricated murder to frame the Song envoy. And there were also several incidents after that tried to sow dissension between Song and Wei.
This time, how sure are we that they are not doing the same trick again? Your Majesty, in the report earlier, it was said that someone within our army recognized the leader of the enemy’s army as being Sima Jun, a trusted aide of the Liu Song emperor.
Everyone heard that, right? This is not some “sowing dissension” strategy. It’s an open action of evil deeds, an act of a bandit. Prince Regent’s Consort, how are you going to explain now the actions of Sima Jun? If the Liu Song Emperor didn’t give the order, how can a measly general
Dare to attack Wei’s borders? This is not just destroying the treaty, it’s inciting a war. Your Majesty, the lofty words that this Liu Song Princess spoke during the ceremony were all just lies. Her real identity
Is a spy of Liu Song. Her real motive in coming to Wei is to bewitch the Prince Regent and to get information. No wonder heaven was angered, and the ceremonial stage was burned. This is a warning given to Great Wei by the heavens. For the citizens who were wronged and killed,
For Wei’s prosperity, this woman must not be allowed to live. Your Majesty, the matter happened so suddenly. Investigate it well. Your Highness the Empress Dowager, things are already very obvious. Must we wait for the Liu Song army to charge into Pingcheng before you will acknowledge her real identity?
Are you all going to force His Majesty to immediately make a decree? This is not forcing. This is heaven’s will. Your Majesty, you must not hesitate anymore. Everyone is saying the same thing. It clearly is something that was prepared beforehand.
Your Majesty, the High Priest is of noble character and high prestige, and is the envoy of the gods. How about we ask his opinion? High Priest, what do you suggest? Buddha was greatly angered. We must use fresh blood to pacify him. This is nature’s law that no one can change.
Now, we can only use the head of the Liu Song Princess to be offered as a sacrifice to the numerous innocent Wei citizens that have died so as to completely pacify the hatred of heaven. Your Majesty, the truth hasn’t been clearly investigated yet. We can’t rashly kill the Liu Song Princess,
Or else we won’t be able to redeem the consequences. Prince Regent, the Feifeng General has given limitless loyalty to Great Wei. Now, we still don’t even know if she’s alive or not. Your defending the mastermind of all this at this time, General Huo will surely rebel. Just for a Liu Song spy,
Must we suffer the risk of a mutiny? Your Majesty, please hurry and make the decree. Your Majesty, things haven’t been clearly investigated yet. You must not be rash in your decision. Your Majesty, this matter is very complicated. You must think about it clearly. Enough! Heaven’s will must not be disobeyed.
Liu Song did such perverse acts and angered the public. Although I am heartbroken by this, I have no choice. Liu Song Princess will first be locked up in the Minister of Justice’s Office. After ten days, she’ll be publicly executed.
Your Majesty, the Prince Regent is able to casually get in and out of the Office of the Minister of Justice. He’s been defending the Princess Consort, showing that their relationship is quite deep. To prevent arousing any suspicion, let’s lock the Prince Regent’s Consort, oh, wrong.
Let’s lock the Liu Song Princess in the Shrine and let High Priest handle her. After ten days, let’s do the public execution here on the ceremonial stage. Do it that way then. Don’t touch me! I can walk on my own.
