[The Princess Royal]
[Adapted from Mo Shubai's novel,
The Princess Royal]
[on Jinjiang Original Network]
[This is a work of fiction.]
[Episode 3]
I will ask you one more time.
Why did you stop me
from choosing other people?
I
I
Because you felt guilty
about what you had done to me.
So you also
It seems that fate won't let you go,
you ungrateful scoundrel.
So you've fallen
into my hands once again.
What? Are you afraid to admit it?
Right,
I feel guilty for you,
but haven't you done the same to me?
We've been quarreling
over those long-standing issues
for twenty years.
You just need to answer this.
Why did you come here today?
Just to glance
at the eighteen-year-old you.
Nothing more?
What else do you think?
Perhaps,
to lend a hand to you again.
You really did a good job.
You narrowed down the choices
from Father
to none but yourself.
I shouldn't have meddled
in your affairs,
but I sincerely hope
that you can live a happy life
in the future.
This wish
has remained unchanged
all the time.
Your way to help me
live a happy life is
I killed him too.
So we're even.
I never imagined
it would come to this.
What do you suggest we do?
Every other option comes
with an unknown outcome.
But since we know each other well,
I would like to request to marry you,
Your Highness.
Perhaps one day,
when you can break free,
you might make another choice.
Pei Wenxuan,
given this second chance by fate,
I don't want to live as before
to give my heart to the wrong person,
to get caught in endless intrigues,
and to end up alone.
If I choose you again,
there will be no difference
from what happened before.
If we tread the same path,
we will have only one ally.
Then are we going to use
and set up each other again?
We both know well
in the court,
that what matters is the power we have
rather than our spouses or kin.
Yet,
at the pinnacle,
as we walk alone through this world,
we'll start to long for the simple joys
and bustling life.
We both
once stood at the pinnacle before.
Tell me.
What's the difference
between being a loner
and being a lone ghost?
Looks like it's going to rain.
You should go get some umbrellas ready.
Alright.
Your Highness,
the eunuch says
it's about time
to wrap things up.
Tell them I'm not feeling well.
You go and see the guests out for me.
Yes.
I'm tired of that kind of life.
So,
do you really think I should marry you
and continue living that life?
In this arranged marriage,
neither of us had a choice.
We were both just after power.
To be honest,
we didn't have much feelings
for each other.
Qin Zhenzhen made us
know each other better.
You had someone in your heart,
but you just never made it clear.
Now that I know,
it's not a big deal.
After all, I can have someone
in my heart too.
But since that's the case,
why didn't you make it clear earlier?
How about this?
Things will remain the same
between us in the future.
But I want you to understand
that I'm no longer your wife
and you are no longer my husband.
We will live our separate lives
and enjoy our own joys.
But you have to promise me,
as allies,
that we shall never betray each other.
What do you say?
Tell me.
Pei Wenxuan, tell me your answer.
If you remain silent,
I'll take it
that you still have feelings for me.
But if you do have feelings for me
and still meddle in her affairs,
that would make me sick.
We shouldn't have been together.
I'm going to ask Father
for a divorce right now.
Why must we even do this, Your Highness?
Then tell me, what do you want?
As allies,
you should know
that divorce isn't good
for either of us.
From now on,
let's just live our own lives separately
in the name of a couple.
As allies,
we must never betray each other.
Whoever betrays
Will die a miserable death.
Indeed,
we were both punished.
It seems
nothing can be hidden from you.
The grudges of the past
are too tangled to clear up now.
I never intended to bother you now.
But thinking we were once a couple
and might never see each other again,
I came to see you.
I didn't expect
that I couldn't help
meddling in your affairs.
You're being ridiculous.
Do you think
I couldn't get married
without your interference?
Or
You just wanted to check
if those men are good for me.
Unexpectedly, Su Rongqing alone
already made you uncomfortable.
You are joking around, Your Highness.
I wouldn't dare.
After being a powerful minister
for so long,
you dare even
to fight for the succession.
There's nothing you wouldn't dare to do.
There's no need to tease me anymore.
You'd better think carefully
that with your current situation,
if not me,
who else could you choose
as your husband
to protect you?
Drop your act.
You've probably already
prepared a pretext.
Given the current circumstances,
it's hard for you
to avoid His Majesty's suspicion.
Choosing the one from the Noble Houses
as your husband
might provoke His Majesty.
But once the Crown Prince
ascends the throne,
your future will be worry-free.
By that time,
you can rekindle the relationship
with Young Master Su.
So,
your top priority now is
to ensure the Crown Prince's safety.
Your Majesty.
Mother.
Mother.
Do you know what kind of men
Father has chosen for Rong?
[Shangguan Yue, Empress]
They're either rough and reckless men
or commoners of low birth.
The remaining ones are a fool
and a playboy.
How come
Father doesn't take this seriously.
Mother, why don't you
find a good husband for Rong?
Your father has always been wary of you.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because our Shangguan Family
is the leading Noble House nowadays.
What your father truly fears
is the Shangguan Family behind you.
If Rong were to marry
into another Noble House,
who then could stop
you and her in the future?
At the founding of our nation,
the royal family indeed needed
the support of Noble Houses.
But now that the nation
is in a stable state,
Noble Houses
have become the greatest threat
to the imperial power.
You have to make a choice
between your position as Crown Prince
and Rong's happiness.
I understand what you're saying,
but
if my position as the Crown Prince
comes at the cost
of Rong's lifelong happiness,
then I'd rather not have it.
What nonsense are you talking about?
You think you have a say on that?
You are of the royal and noble house's
blood, which is unchangeable.
Even if you don't want it,
the noble house behind you
won't allow it to happen.
This matter
is beyond both of our decisions.
But among Cui Yulang, Yang Quan,
and Lu Yu,
Cui Yulang comes from humble beginnings,
so marrying him
would be of the least use.
Besides, he's dissolute
and loves writing poetry,
which gives plenty of leverage
against him.
If you really marry him,
it could cause trouble
for the Crown Prince.
Speaking of the Yang Family,
they are too powerful.
Yang Quan is too harsh and aggressive.
At this moment,
His Majesty's intention
in marrying you to Yang Quan
is actually a move
against the Yang Family.
If you marry Yang Quan now,
it's likely that His Majesty
will make his move soon after.
By then,
you will inevitably be involved,
and so will the Crown Prince.
Indeed,
from what I saw today,
Yang Quan is nothing but a brute.
But I think Marquis Lu Yu
would be a good match.
Marquis Ningguo was His Majesty's
reading partner back then
and even took an arrow for His Majesty.
His Majesty values others' favor,
so I believe
it would be beneficial
if you could marry Marquis Lu.
Moreover,
Marquis Ningguo is a reliable man,
and Marquis Lu Yu is simple-minded
and hardly ever leaves his mansion.
He may not
be a good husband,
but at least he won't
hold the Crown Prince back.
More importantly,
he is in poor health.
Given his current condition,
he might only
have a couple of years left.
However,
I'm concerned
that if you marry him,
you might face mockery
from everyone in the palace,
and I worry you might not withstand it.
You've been quite thoughtful.
If I can endure the mockery
and marry him as you've suggested,
when he passes away later,
and Chuan ascends to the throne,
could I then get remarried?
Exactly.
You've planned everything
so meticulously.
If I don't marry you and have a way out,
then what about you?
You don't need to worry about me.
I have my own way.
Well then, Young Master Pei,
you're certainly a man of character.
In that case,
you may leave now.
It's getting late.
If you don't leave soon
and have the carriage stained with mud,
you might get a scolding
from the butler.
I've been wanting to leave.
Thank you for your grace, Your Highness.
Rascal.
Wait.
In the past,
we have different positions
and it's hard to tell who's right
and who's wrong.
Whether this is a dream
or reality right now,
since the fate has given us
a chance to start over,
let's not meet
from now on.
We shall both live our own lives.
Yes, this is my last time
meeting you, Your Highness.
From now on,
let's get on our own paths.
We will never meet again.

Young Master, you are finally here.
You Stand there.
That's a nice outfit.
It must be expensive, right?
Anyways.
If the carriage is not returned on time,
it will cost us extra money.
You're having rashes.
Did you eat citrons?
You can't eat that.
It causes trouble if you eat too much.
Young Master Pei, please wait.
It's cold and rainy today.
Her Highness asked me
to prepare some ginger soup
and anti-itch powder for you.
Thank you.
Please thank Her Highness on my behalf.
Thank you.
Miss,
please convey a message
to Her Highness for me.
Just say,
I bid farewell to her.
Please take good care.
And one more thing.
Remind Her Highness
to be careful
and don't make any bold moves.
Alright.
Please make sure to pass
on the messages. Thank you.
Young Master, we should get going.
Please convey my message
to Her Highness.
You're quite impressive.
You even received a reward
from the Princess.
It's just a shame
it's not the silver tael.
Hold it properly, Young Master.
If the Princess
had given some silver taels,
that would have been more useful.
You know nothing at all.
That's true.
But at least I know
we'll have to pay
if we don't return the carriage.
Sit still.
He said this to you?
I don't need his concern at all.
He is a mere eighth-rank official,
and he's worse off than I am.
The only person I know
who can play chess with me
on equal footing is Pei Wenxuan.
Our matches are thrilling.
Others aren't as skillful as him,
and Su Rongqing
always lets me win on purpose.
But Pei Wenxuan, that rascal,
is bold and fierce.
From now on,
there's no one
who can play chess with me
fully and delightfully.
Don't hold back later.
Treat it like a battle.
Young Master,
she is a princess after all.
Are we really going to
Even if we don't kidnap the Princess,
do you think His Majesty will spare us?
Don't be naive.
My sister has already sent me a letter.
We can only count on ourselves now.
Only by marrying the Princess
and allying with the Crown Prince
can I save my life.
Do you have a foolproof plan?
First, we pretend
to kidnap the Princess.
Then, at the crucial moment,
I'll appear to save her.
After that
Spending the night
with just the two of us
His Majesty always values reputation.
He will betroth Li Rong to me
even if she refuses.
There's no one else in the world
who would care so much
about my pitiful dignity.
What's going on?
Young Master, something's off.
I saw
Silver taels!
Get to the point.
I just saw several men
in black passed by.
The horses they were riding
looked like war horses.
War horses?
Think about it, in the dead of night,
who dares to ride war horses
in the capital?
The Yang Family.
Oh no.
They're heading in the direction
of the Princess's residence.
Yang Quan was so forward
with the Princess at the Spring Banquet.
It seems he was determined to win her.
They're going to use force.
Hurry to the palace
and report that Princess Pingyue
is in danger,
and someone is trying
to assassinate her.
Yes.
Ask them to send people to rescue her.
I'll go now. Wait!
Young Master, what about you?
I must go back to the Princess.
Go now.
It's dangerous. You
We don't have much time.
Listen to me, if
We don't have much time.
Hurry to the palace.
Make sure you stay safe.
I see.
Alright.
Take care of the silver taels.
I'm afraid Yang Quan's men
might have already surrounded her place.
Even if I rush back,
I might not be able to get in.
According to Li Rong's
travel habits back then,
the Empress would send
at least 20 secret guards to her.
Together with her entourage,
there should be over a hundred people.
It won't be hard for Li Rong
to break out.
What I can do
is to hold
off the Yang Family's pursuers.
You found people ambushing outside?
It's a good number of them.
But they don't seem
to be the usual martial artists.
Why do you say that?
Their hiding techniques
are different from the martial artists
we usually encounter.
They're of the Yang Family.
The one coming out now
isn't the Princess.
How do you know that?
Your Highness, we're ready to depart.
I'm almost done reading.
Your Highness,
the people ambushing outside
haven't taken any action.
They haven't?
I was wondering
how come Yang Quan was so bold
to try to kidnap me
without fearing any mishaps.
It turns out there's a traitor among us.
- Your Highness, please forgive us.
- Your Highness, please forgive us.
Get up.
Jinglan,
change into my clothes.
Take a group of men
and leave through the back door.
Circle around the back mountain
and stay far away from the main road.
When you leave,
make sure you leave quickly.
Don't get caught.
That's Li Rong's carriage.
She managed to escape indeed.
But I fear Yang Quan's forces
will soon catch up.
Capture her alive!
Protect the Princess!
General.
A group of people
just rushed out of the gate.
We're still tricked by her.
Chase them on the main road, quickly!
Your Highness!
Your Your Highness?
Come on.
Your Highness!
Li Rong,
come on, wake up.
You can't just pass out like this.
I intended to help you,
but I made a mistake.
Your new life has just begun.
You can't end up like this.
Li Rong, wake up!
Li Rong! Li Rong!
No one's on horseback.
We've still been tricked.
Chase them that way!
The Princess might have left.
Hold them off.
Wake up, Li Rong!
Oh my
I just wanted to have a look
at the eighteen-year-old you.
but I failed to control myself,
and now all this mess has happened.
If you were really dead,
I'd truly feel guilty.
Li Rong, wake up!
Li Rong!
Help! Put me down!
Don't move.
Put me down! Help!
It's me, Pei Wenxuan!
Don't move.
Put me down!
Alright, alright.
Why are you here?
We need to leave here quickly.
Yang Quan's people are catching up.
We need to be faster, even faster!
Stop right there!
Please, General,
go inform the Crown Prince
that something happened
to Princess Pingyue.
Just stay.
Where exactly are we?
I was in such a rush
that I didn't see where I was going.
This place
looks like a reed marsh.
I'm asking you how to get out.
I surely know this is a reed marsh.
That's obvious, isn't it?
I don't know the way either.
Forget it.
Let's just see how it goes.
No, I can't walk anymore.
Wait, you
What's with your attitude?
I'm hurt and I feel dizzy.
I'm not moving anymore.
Fine.
Your Highness,
may I carry you on my back?
Come on, Your Highness.
Don't worry. It's safe and steady.
Squat down steadily.
Here we go!
Now what do we do?
Let's look for a water source first.
You know where to find water?
You don't know, right?
There's a way to find water.
You have to check
what types the plants are,
how dense they are,
and the elevation of the terrain.
I never realized before
you are quite knowledgeable.
You're the distinguished princess
who is well served and taken care of.
How could you understand these things?
I might as well marry a country woman.
Maybe we can have some common topics.
It looks like my distinguished status
bothers you, right?
Why even pursue a career
in the imperial court then?
You might as well be a farmer.
Li Rong,
can you not speak
without being sarcastic?
I can speak normally with others
but not you.
I think
you often have an expressionless face,
and when you smile,
it seems rather scheming.
You look better when you're angry.
Even out of the palace,
you're still so presumptuous?
Do you believe I'd leave you here?
Let's see what you'd do
when Yang Quan catches up.
You mean I'm scared?
He's not going to kill me.
At worst,
he'll just force me into marriage.
I just didn't expect
that his reach would extend this far
to plant a spy in my place
and set an ambush on the road.
He's audacious.
You still haven't told me
why you're here.
I was
What?
I
Pei Wenxuan,
I have something to ask you.
Alright, I confess.
It was me, okay?
What did you do?
I can really explain.
I was actually trying to help you.
Those traps
They were all used on me.
Tell me the truth,
did you come here for revenge?
I really wanted to help you.
Put me down.
Get away from me.
I'm afraid
that I might accidentally kill you.
I was planning to use the trap
to quietly hold off Yang Quan's men.
Who knew you'd show up like that?
Besides,
who uses such a foolish method
for revenge?
Foolish?
I think you misunderstand
what foolish means.
I think you're really cunning.
You feel trapped, with no way out,
and desperately want to marry me.
But you can't put aside your pride.
So you thought of a plan
to play the hero
and trick me into your plan, right?
And you were saying
you only came to the banquet
to see the eighteen-year-old me.
I think you just
can't stand seeing me
marrying Su Rongqing.
Why do I care if you marry him?
You do care.
Go ahead and marry him.
But if you
My neck is sore from your grip.
Li Rong, I have nothing to do with you.
Marry whomever you want.
I don't care. I
Then why did you make a scene
at the Spring Banquet?
I made a scene?
You're the one who can't let go
and can't part with my status
as a princess.
Oh, please.
You just have princess syndrome.
I am a princess. What's wrong
with having princess syndrome?
You know,
you're the most shameless
and spineless toy boy I've ever met.
Who are you calling a toy boy!
Isn't Su Rongqing a toy boy too?
Stop!
Stop!
Don't touch me.
Li Rong, just think about it.
When have I ever relied on you
over these years?
When have you not relied on me?
That was mutual dependence.
You helped me develop my career,
and I helped your brother
ascend the throne.
Besides,
who covered the expenses
of Princess Royal's Mansion
over these years?
Well, thank you so much for that.
How generous you are
to support the whole mansion.
But listen, Pei Wenxuan,
never forget where your salaries
come from.
Ultimately,
it's because
you married me.
If you weren't my husband,
would my brother trust you that much?
Please, don't flatter yourself.
You are not covering my expenses.
You are buying resources from me.
I need to get resources from you?
Let me ask you,
didn't you use my informants
and my intelligence network?
Did you pay for that?
How about when you pressured others
with my name
and when you asked me
to persuade my brother?
What?
Has Li Chuan never questioned you
over these years?
When he suspected you
of manipulating power
and sent you back to your fief,
who pleaded for you then?
No matter what, Li Chuan is my brother.
He won't do anything to me.
But you,
when he punished you by flogging,
who asked me to go to the Imperial Study
to beg for mercy for you?
How can you even bring these things up?
Over all the years
Never mind.
I'm tired. Go find us something to eat.
We can argue after we're full.
What do you want to eat?
A feast.
A feast?
Just stay here.
I can't go any further.
Sit for a while.
Where are you going?
To gather some hays and branches.
[Qionghua Palace]
Concubine Ning,
what do you mean by this?
I heard that Her Highness
left her residence on her own,
and now, her whereabouts are unknown.
It seems
she wasn't fond of the consorts
His Majesty chose for her.
I've already sent people
to look for her.
I'm afraid the Princess might
stupidly make a misstep.
My daughter is the Princess.
Many are concerned for her well-being.
You don't need to trouble yourself.
If my brother can't marry the Princess,
he can turn
to Princess Huayue.
Are you
threatening me?
Your Majesty,
you don't need to be angry.
Everyone knows
His Majesty has always harbored
suspicions towards the Crown Prince.
If we say randomly
that all the Yang Family's actions
are following the Crown Prince's order.
He tries to seize military power
from the Yang Family.
What do you think
His Majesty would do?
Since you're saying this randomly,
then I'll take it
into light consideration.
I'll wait for the good news,
Your Majesty.
Come on, sit here.
The ground is a bit damp.
Don't catch a cold.
Sit on the grass
so it doesn't get blown away.
If it does, we'll have nothing
to start a fire with.
You really don't know
how to speak nicely, do you?
I feel much more comfortable.
When he's not speaking,
he's quite good-looking.
How is it?
You grill it yourself.
I don't know how to grill.
Then don't eat.
But I love grilled fish.
If you don't grill it for me,
I'll just snatch it from you.
You
Fine, I'll grill this one for you first.
When did you get back?
Over ten days ago. And you?
About the same.
How can this be?
Is this a dream?
I don't know.
I just remember
as I was dying,
I wondered
if we could stand in the heavens
to see the road we've traveled through
from an all-knowing perspective,
would we
regret some things?
I didn't expect
that you actually
didn't hide it from me.
Why would I hide anything?
You didn't hide anything
from me, either.
I'm not like you.
I tend to take the responsibility
for my actions,
not like you,
a despicable man.
Wait,
you call me a despicable man?
It was you who ordered someone
to kill me.
I asked someone to kill you
because you were the one
to break our alliance oath first.
You could kill me,
then why couldn't I retaliate?
When did I ever try to kill you?
Drop the act.
I did plant spies in your place,
but that was to guard
against Su Rongqing.
Besides, if I really wanted to kill you,
I would have done it
a long time ago.
When When did you die?
I died on my way home
after leaving your place
in Baiyi Alley.
It was a gruesome death.
Crown Crown Prince.
Hurry.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Su Rongqing, what are you doing here?
I received a report
that Princess Pingyue
had been kidnapped.
I wish to assist you
in rescuing Her Highness.
There's no time to lose. Hurry.
Why do you think I killed you?
You poisoned me.
When did I ever poison you?
Poison of the Fragrant Beauty.
No, I didn't.
Alright, then answer my question.
Why did you carry a strange fragrance
on you that day?
You don't usually wear sachets,
but you did that day. Why?
Then you discussed with me
about succession matters
and even threatened
that if I didn't agree,
you would kill me.
I was so angry at the time,
and I coughed severely.
Right after you left,
the poison took effect.
Yes, there is insufficient evidence,
but you had the motive
and the abilities.
Besides, all clues point to you.
Li Rong,
you just don't trust me.
Then explain to me
about the strange fragrance on you.
I was afraid
it might upset you.
Ridiculous!
Do you mean I, the prince consort,
can't enter
the Princess Royal's Mansion?
Her Highness is in poor health.
If you wish to visit,
you must wear a sachet.
Her Highness
has been bedridden for days.
Everyone in the mansion must wear one,
and
you are no exception.
It's said the Poison of Fragrant Beauty
is triggered by the interaction
of two different poisons.
Perhaps, your body was poisoned
a long time ago,
but the toxins had not yet activated.
The sachet that Su Rongqing gave me
acted as a catalyst.
The strong scent on me
triggered the toxins
in your body to react.
Moreover,
Su Rongqing prepared soup and medicine
for you daily.
Wouldn't he have had
even more opportunities to act?
Forget it.
Whether it was Su Rongqing
or not is still unknown.
What's important is, I didn't do this.
Don't pin this on me.
But I once
saved his life.
Your brother caused the entire Su Family
to be imprisoned,
with men executed and women exiled.
Su Rongqing survived,
but your family
was the primary cause
behind the Su Family's downfall.
Moreover,
although Su Rongqing saved his life,
he was subjected to castration.
The Su Family in Huajing
is ungrateful for His Majesty's mercy,
trying to plot a rebellion
to overthrow the throne.
The evidence is clear.
All male members are to be executed
while female members are to be exiled
to serve in military labor.
Your Majesty, the Su Family
has been a noble family for centuries,
and they contributed
to the founding of the nation.
If their entire family is exterminated,
wouldn't it hurt the feelings
of our people?
As the Princess Royal,
I beg you to spare
the Su Family's members.
What a Princess Royal.
The Su Family planned to ally
with the Empress, Shangguan Ya,
to elevate the Third Prince
to the throne.
They're forming factions.
This is treason!
Your Majesty.
Have you lost your senses,
Princess Royal?
Are you sure to even protect a traitor?
At least,
spare Su Rongqing.
Su Rongqing is sensible and modest.
He would never involve himself
in such matters.
Being a member of the Su Family,
how could Su Rongqing be unaware
of its internal affairs?
If he is spared,
it will lead to endless calamities.
You have already
annihilated the Su Family.
Now that you possess sovereignty,
why would you fear a mere Su Rongqing?
Your Majesty,
from childhood,
I have always supported you.
I helped you ascend the throne
and have been assisting you
in ruling the nation ever since.
This is the first time
I am asking you for something.
Please, at least spare Su Rongqing.
Enough.
I can keep him alive,
but he can't escape his punishment.
Decree that Su Rongqing
be subjected to castration.
