Follow Your Heart (2024) s01e25 Episode Script

[Follow Your Heart]
[Episode 25]
[Imperial Academy]
Why are you here?
I came to congratulate you.
I heard Jiang Xinbai was dismissed.
The Princess of Yuejiang title
must go to you now.
It's not up to an outsider like you
to interfere
in my family affairs.
Outsider?
We'll be a family sooner or later.
How about we
pick an auspicious day
for my father to visit to propose marriage?
I don't want to talk about this with you.
Jiang Suoluo.
There's a limit to refusing.
Let go of me!
Shameless!
Despicable!
Suoluo.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Your Grace.
Suoluo and I are engaged.
What's wrong with
some intimacy?
You're not married yet.
Are you qualified to marry her?
Besides
I
Besides,
this is the Imperial Academy.
She's the chancellor.
Respect her.
Are you really okay?
Yes.
That's good.
Brother.
What happened to your face?
I'm fine.
Just a minor injury.
Then,
why are you here?
I want to ask you
to watch Lu Bo'an for me.
If he makes any moves,
inform me immediately
You suspect
Lu Bo'an is also
involved
in Lu Dingzhao’s crime?
I can't let go
of any clue.
I've to test out
all possibilities.
Okay.
I'll help you.
Also
Mother and Grandfather
are hot-tempered and straightforward.
Help me persuade them.
Don't let them
get more involved.
I understand.
Don't worry.
Go investigate the Zornia epidemic.
I'll hold down the fort so our family
will get through this.
If that jerk Yan Biqing
dares to bully you again,
you must tell me.
Thank you.
[Lianshan Scripture]
Lianshan Scripture?
That lost ancient scripture?
Xinbai asked me to give it to you.
He heard
you've been looking for it.
Father.
Why are you here?
Isn't this
a gift from Xinbai
for your first birthday
since he returned
from Yazhou?
He made this brush himself.
You hated it
and wanted to throw it away.
So you've been keeping it.
I was thinking
of how to persuade you
to help Xinbai.
Now it seems
i don't have to.
How do you want me to help Xinbai?
Meet the empress
and crown prince in the palace
to get them to persuade His Majesty
to reinstate Xinbai.
But we've to be cautious now.
If we advice him rashly,
it might backfire.
Yes.
I know
it's dangerous
to act rashly now.
But doing
nothing
makes me uneasy.
There's someone
who's more suitable
than the empress and crown prince.
He's also more willing to help us.
It's not that I don't want to beg His Majesty,
but it's unclear
how he wants to
deal with Xinbai.
If we bring this up now,
His Majesty
will blame us
for swaying his judgment.
In this way,
it'll be even more
unfavorable for Xinbai.
Is there no way
to turn things around?
This is the first time His Majesty's been so enraged
since he ascended the throne.
Moreover,
Xinbai
voluntarily
took all the blame.
That's not good.
What do you think
the worst-case scenario would be?
If this broken branch
is not cut in time,
the whole plant
will be destroyed.
Is it that serious?
That I've to
abandon my brother?
If His Majesty
decides to punish him severely,
I'm afraid your family
has to
draw the line with him.
Right now,
I think
Xinbai himself
has the same plan.
To be honest,
I thought Xinbai was
the most likely to become
the head
of Yuejiang Residence.
But I never thought
he'd be so impatient.
Suoluo.
The future of Yuejiang Residence
will now
depend on you.
But General Nan
died because of me after all.
Maybe
when Yan Zhizhong died,
my father
felt the same way as I do now.
What happened these days
were a huge blow to Jiang Xinbai.
What should I do
to cheer him up?
Yan Nanxing.
I want to watch fireworks.
Watch fireworks.
The beautiful ones
that are big
and dazzling.
Look.
Those
big
and beautiful ones.
Please fill it up for me.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Besides the royal relatives,
only Xi Zhaoming
can set off fireworks in the capital.
At this critical period,
if His Majesty sees
someone setting off fireworks in the capital,
that means Jiang Xinbai's provoking him
with fireworks.
The whole Jiang family
might even be held accountable.
In that case,
let's give them
a nudge.
Mr. Jiang's been
working in Blossom Beauty these days.
Is he really
planning to freeload off Boss?
Someone who works isn't a freeloader.
Those who work should be called
It's called stealing your job.
Get back to work.
Look.
Is it pretty?
Yes.
This is
the dress I gave you?
Yes.
Today is an important day,
so I should dress up.
What important day?
I have a gift for you.
Just follow me.
Fireworks?
Once when you were
drunk in Heman,
you insisted on watching fireworks.
You even cried
watching them.
That's when I realized
fireworks must
mean something special to you.
I don't remember it at all.
I know
it's dark in the capital now.
But there will always be dawn.
From now on,
I'll be with you.
No matter what happens,
I'll be with you.
Now,
don't think about anything.
Let's
watch fireworks together.
Yan Nanxing.
Thank you for
preparing these fireworks for me.
But
we can't set them off tonight.
Why?
Fireworks in the capital
is a privilege
His Majesty bestowed to my father.
When I was young,
my father would take me to watch fireworks
on his birthday.
It was also here.
But later,
my father
became a sinner.
Now,
I was dismissed by His Majesty.
If we
set off fireworks now,
it might
anger His Majesty.
It doesn't matter.
Unhappy moments in life are inevitable.
Take me, for example,
I was miserable before.
I was abducted by a human trafficker
and almost
died in his hands.
Luckily, a young sir saved me.
Later, we ran away
and met a bad guy.
That young sir was taken away.
And I was poisoned.
That's how
I got this shapeshifting ailment.

Actually
I didn't set off these fireworks.
What's going on?
Ruoqian!
Hurry up.
Come watch the fireworks!
Why are there fireworks today?
Why are there fireworks?
What's going on?
There is no event in the capital today.
Why would they set off fireworks?
Grandfather.
Father.
Where is Xinbai?
Xinbai.
Father-in-law.
The fireworks tonight
are really beautiful.
Oh no.
Let's go.
The people reported
that someone set off fireworks here.
It's you two.
We didn't set off the fireworks.
My lord.
The evidence is here.
Do you still want to deny it?
Arrest him.
Yes!
Xinbai.
Mother.
Suoluo.
Mr. Pei.
Xinbai.
Why are you so calm?
His Majesty dismissed you
for Nan Jifeng's matter.
Even if this matter's over,
His Majesty was
being lenient to you.
But you?
You had to set off fireworks
to protest against His Majesty.
Now,
His Majesty is furious
and decided to punish you severely.
Mr. Pei.
How does
His Majesty plan to punish me?
He'll demote you to Yazhou.
Is there no turning back?
Commander Shang!
Let me explain.
I bought the fireworks
from Ghost Market.
I didn't
set them off.
Jiang Xinbai
has nothing to do with
this.
Why should I
trust you?
I know you dislike him.
But now's not the time to be spiteful.
Someone's
obviously trying to frame him.
I don't believe you can't tell.
He led himself
to this plight.
It’s all his fault.
Commander Shang.
Please.
I’m begging you.
Let me see him.
I will give you a reasonable
explanation.
Guards!
In that case,
someone planned
to frame you.
Mr. Pei.
It must be thoroughly investigated.
Xinbai.
Do you
have any inkling?
Without evidence,
I dare not speculate.
Son.
At this point,
just say it.
Maybe
it's Lu Dingzhao
and Li Jun.
Because of Li Wufang?
But Jinwu Guards scoured the city
and couldn't find
who set off fireworks.
Since they dare to set off the fireworks,
they won't leave any trace.
It'd be foolproof.
I'll leave the capital
in a few days
to Yazhou.
Leave the capital?
Why?
If you leave the capital,
you'll never come back.
Have you forgotten about your father?
Mr. Pei.
I beg you.
Please help Xinbai.
I really can't bear
to lose another family member.
You know that.
Please.
I'll go beg Her Majesty
and the crown prince.
I'll never let my brother
go to Yazhou.
Yes.
Go on now.
Suoluo.
Calm down.
Do you want me to
watch you get framed?
Be strong.
Now,
Mother
and Grandfather
both need you.
I
I set off the fireworks alone.
Punish me if you want.
Yan Nanxing.
Who are you?
I am Yan Nanxing.
I'm the owner of Blossom Beauty's owner.
I bought the fireworks
at Ghost Market.
I invited Jiang Xinbai to the city tower.
I've already
told Jinwu Guards this.
Jiang Xinbai's innocent.
You told Jinwu Guards?
Xinbai.
Didn't you just say
Mr. Pei.
If I say
Yan Nanxing
set off the fireworks for me
as a marriage proposal
can you
accept this testimony?
-Proposal?
-Proposal?
Xinbai.
You
You promised her?
Mother.
Is that still important?
Yes.
I love her.
She loves me too.
I agreed to her proposal.
So
the fireworks were a small accident
due to Xinbai and Ms. Yan's
love.
He didn't offend His Majesty.
Mr. Pei,
please plead for mercy with His Majesty.
In that case,
if it was really an accident,
there
might be a turning point.
His Majesty
understands love too.
That's great.
That's great.
I'll go to the palace
to plead for mercy now.
Suoluo.
Go to the palace tomorrow
and beg Her Majesty for mercy too.
Okay.
But
Xinbai.
Since His Majesty has made his promise,
the demotion
is inevitable.
The difference is
where you are demoted to
and when you can come back.
So
you
have to be mentally prepared.
As long as I can be with Yan Nanxing,
I'm fine anywhere.
But
Mr. Pei.
I have just one request.
Go ahead.
I wonder
if I can marry Yan Nanxing
before
leaving the capital.
It'd be too
unreasonable
to reject it.
Fine.
Then
I'll compromise my dignity
to beg His Majesty.
However,
you two
must remember
not to leave the capital without permission.
Thank you, Mr. Pei.
Okay.
Your Highness.
Let's get going.
Okay.
Please.
Okay.
Xinbai.
We're getting married?
This time
It's real?
Of course.
But this time,
I really have nothing.
I can't even compare to a tea merchant.
Will you still marry me?
Yes!
Xinbai.
You suddenly want to get married.
What can I do?
Mother.
Pardon me for being unfilial.
From now on,
I'm going to draw the line
with Yuejiang Residence.
The fireworks crime
will be borne by me and my wife.
Yuejiang Residence's innocent.
Nanxing.
The Jiang family has wronged you.
For both marriages,
we couldn't give you
a decent wedding.
It's fine.
I want to marry
Jiang Xinbai,
not his family.
We'll still be close friends,
right?
Suoluo.
Xinbai, say no more.
I'll hold down the fort in Yuejiang Residence.
As for you,
I believe you've come up with
a thorough solution.
Since you won't say it,
I won't ask anymore.
I will always remember
the things you asked me to do.
Good.
If I didn't ask you
to take General Nan away,
he might
Suoluo.
It's not your fault.
I failed to protect General Nan.
Shang.
I’d rather you
blame me than see you like this.
I trust General Nan
wouldn't want to
see you
like this.
You're right.
He was killed by a villain.
I haven't avenged him yet.
Instead of complaining here,
I'd rather go find them
and kill them.
Shang.
Shang.
Talk to Xinbai.
He might have
figured out a way.
I have nothing to talk about with him.
You really misunderstood Xinbai.
He didn't mean to stand you up.
He
He did it for
To go for broke.
The fireworks all over the city that night
were strange.
You know that.
Your men have been
searching inside and outside the city
for the person who set off the fireworks,
right?
It's Jinwu Guards' duty
to catch the arsonist.
I'm not helping you.
Although I was demoted,
your two-month agreement
with His Majesty
still stands.
But
it's almost expiring.
Thanks for reminding me.
If I can't find any evidence,
I'll behead them two
along with me
to face His Majesty.
Shang Bieli
Don't you want to know
what my go-for-broke plan
is?
In the morning, the magnolia stands tall; in the evening,
[Great Virtue]
it embraces the continent.
[Respect and Uphold Justice]
What are you doing?
Who are you?
Where are you taking me?
Help me!
What are you looking at?
Keep writing!
Help!
Dean Yan.
Help me, Dean Yan.
Dean Yan!
Help me!
Dean Yan!
Help me, Dean Yan.
Father-in-law.
It's a huge victory for us this time.
His Majesty
agreed to Jiang Xinbai's marriage,
but he's ordered
for him to be
demoted to Yazhou after.
Even Yuejiang Residence
can't protect him.
But
don’t drop your guard.
Jiang Xinbai
won’t give up easily.
What can he do
in such a short time?
Bo’an.
Shang Bieli.
In broad daylight
I've been itching to hit you.
Let me tell you.
If I find the evidence
and prove that you killed my brother,
I'll skin you alive!
Stop!
Shang Bieli.
Are you crazy?
Yes.
Everyone in the capital knows I'm crazy.
Is this your first day in the capital?
I'm afraid you don't know
how crazy I am.
If you have evidence,
get the Inspection Office to arrest us.
I don’t care if you're really
crazy or not.
Trying to trick me?
It's not that easy.
Commander Shang.
Your grandsons joined hands
to sell fake calligraphy and paintings
to make money.
I won't let you off.
The person who killed my brother
must pay with their blood!
No one can escape!
Are you involved?
No.
Grandfather.
Grandfather.
Uncle asked me to do it.
And you just obeyed him?
Grandfather, I
I was wrong.
I was wrong, Grandfather.
I was wrong.
Can't you be smarter?
Go back now.
I'll send someone
to send you the State of Miluo.
Don't drop out of school
and don't let anyone know.
Leave now!
Thank you, Grandfather.
Thank you, Grandfather.
What do you want?
How dare you get Bo’an involved?
Are you crazy?
Go report ill health to the Ministry of Personnel
and return to your hometown!
Lu Dingzhao!
I’ve been slogging for you
and obeying
your every order!
I did all
the dirty work.
Don't I get some credit?
What do you want then?
I paved the path to Tingzhou.
I want to continue
my business in Tingzhou.
Then go to Tingzhou
and stay there!
Don't ever come back!
How's it with Li Jun?
As you expected,
he reported ill health and returned home.
I've thought about it these days.
Tingzhou connects the Western states.
They paved the path to Tingzhou
to deliver Zornia out.
Since they can't sell it in Daqi,
they want to harm other states.
They have no conscience.
Be gentle.
Currently,
our first step
has worked.
We're just
lacking a revolutionary gust of wind.
And when will you
make that happen?
Relax.
Let me get married first.
Jiang Xinbai.
I believe
you love Yan Nanxing.
But
I don't believe
you're marrying her now
out of love.
Shang Bieli.
If I tell you
you got it wrong,
and I'm the Young Sir
Yan Nanxing is looking for,
will you believe
I'm sincere about
this wedding?
I'm not lying.
It's true.
In Yazhou,
I went through fire and water with Yan Nanxing.
To think
our fates are as such.
This time,
I'll never miss it again.
Does Yan Nanxing
know about this?
I warn you.
Don't shoot your mouth off.
This is between
me and her.
I want to wait
for everything to be settled
before telling her.
Who cares?
You ate them all.
Peel them properly.
