[The Princess Weiyoung]
[Episode 52]
You were the only one at Father's side when he passed away.
You know very well what Father's last words were.
His Majesty passed his throne on to Tuoba Jun.
You... You killed your father and usurped his throne.
Anyone would have the right to punish you.
Tuoba Yu, you're undeserving of the throne.
You won't succeed.
Who said that I'm undeserving of the throne?
Father obviously passed the throne to me before he died.
You will make me announce a false posthumous edict?
In your dreams!
Treacherous thief!
I won't collude with you.
You have no choice.
Guards!
- Let go of me! - Let go of me!
Grandmother!
Mother!
Let go of me!
- Wei Young! - Let go of me!
What is going on?
- What is going on? - Why do you have to arrest me?
Your Highness!
I'm Chang Xi!
Do you recognize me?
What are you going to do?
- Chang Xi! - Chang Xi!
I don't want to die!
Wei Young! My good cousin!
Please save me!
I don't want to die!
Prince of Nan-An!
Why are you doing this?
We are...
We are Prime Minister's family!
Why would you treat us so?
Please leave Chang Xi alone!
Li Wei Young.
If you don't make up your mind
I will next take her life.
No... No...
Tuoba Yu, you're inhumane!
Just kill me! Kill me!
Don't lay your hands on my mother!
- Let go of her! - Mother!
Let go of her!
Grandmother!
Li Wei Young.
Will you still insist?
I don't know what you're up to, but if you're going to use us
to threaten Wei Young, that is impossible!
Grandmother! Grandmother...
You mustn't do that, Grandmother.
Don't agree to it.
The Li family will never assist an evildoer!
Fine.
I agree to it.
Mother!
Mother.
- I can't let you get hurt. - Wei Young.
- I can't do that.
Take them away!
What are you doing?
- Wei Young! - Wei Young!
- Mother! - Wei Young!
Wei Young.
Li Wei Young.
I said that you don't have a choice.
Everyone's life is held at the whim of yours.
If you agree to assist me, then all is well.
If you defy me...
Blood will be spilled.
I will announce the posthumous edict that you want.
However, you have to promise me not to hurt my family again.
Princess, hang in there!
We're almost there!
Your Highness! Princess... You,,,
Something went wrong in the palace!
Her Highness was hurt trying to save me!
What happened? Where are my mistress and Cheng De?
They must have been taken by Tuoba Yu!
Her Highness is badly wounded!
- Go get a doctor now! - Yes!
Di...
Di?
How are you feeling?
Di...
You're awake?
Hang in there.
The doctor will be here soon.
I'm all right.
I really am fine.
Look.
I can still smile.
Silly woman.
You will surely get well.
If you die, I will never forgive you.
Min De...
If I die...
Marry someone else.
This is...
This is the bangle you gave me.
I saw that you used to carry Wei Young's hairpin.
I was so envious of her then.
Could you always carry my bangle with you as well?
No.
I want you to wear it.
I want you to wear it every day.
Li Min De.
I can't bear to leave you.
Neither can I.
So...
You can't leave me alone.
I won't marry anyone else.
I only have one wife in this lifetime.
That is you.
Could you kiss me again?
This is the fifth time.
Di.
Di!
Di! Wake up, Di!
Di!
Doctor!
[Imperial Dungeon]
- Step out now. - Yes!
Tuoba Yu.
Do you think by locking me up in here, you can do whatever you want?
Grandfather won't let you off.
Where is Wei Young?
What have you done to her?
Wei Young is doing very well.
As for Father...
Father has already passed away.
You...
Tuoba Yu...
You're inhumane!
I didn't kill my father!
He...
Father was...
He was killed by Zong Ai.
Zong Ai works for you as well?
Exactly.
I bribed him when I was only 13 years old.
You killed Grandfather.
I won't let you off.
You won't let me off?
You're now my prisoner.
- How will you deal with me? - You killed your brother and father!
You're devoid of humanity!
Are you not scared that everyone will curse you for it?
Crown Prince...
He died of anguish and anger.
Father...
Father died of a sudden illness.
As for historical records...
Those are written by the winners.
By the way...
I'm ascending the throne.
That's impossible.
Grandfather would never pass the throne to you.
You're right.
Only Li Wei Young knows that Father passed the throne on to you.
But...
She willingly altered Father's posthumous edict for me.
You're lying to me.
Wei Young would never assist an evildoer.
You must have resorted to despicable means to threaten her.
How much do you know about me and her?
You're right.
She said that she hates me and reproaches me.
But...
Do you know what happened in that secret chamber?
She said that she has feelings for me.
Nonsense.
That's impossible.
Tuoba Yu.
I should have exposed you for killing my mother.
Do you have any evidence?
When I'm enthroned, I will take Wei Young as my empress.
I will then host a grand wedding banquet.
Will you attend it?
Wei Young will never marry you.
Let's wait and see.
Tuoba Yu...
I won't allow you to hurt Wei Young!
Don't hurt Wei Young!
Tuoba Yu!
I've summoned all the officials to make an important announcement.
Hold on.
May I ask why Your Highness has imprisoned Prince of Gaoyang
since the demise of His Majesty?
Since you are confused about this matter
I will explain it to you clearly.
Prince of Gaoyang
conspired with Rouran to rebel.
- Rebel? - That's impossible!
What is the evidence?
Summon Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
Greetings to Your Highness.
Officials of Imperial Court, these are the confidential letters
between Prince of Gaoyang and Rouran.
Please have a look.
For the sake of Great Wei, I could only choose justice over my family.
Master Gao.
Are these letters real?
Prince of Gaoyang really colluded with Rouran?
I still don't believe that Prince of Gaoyang would do such a thing.
We have solid evidence to prove it.
Master Gao.
Make no more excuses for the traitor.
Princess Consort of Gaoyang.
You may step down now.
Yes.
I am here to announce the oral edict of the former emperor.
When the former emperor passed away, did he really leave a posthumous edict?
He did.
When the former emperor passed away
Imperial Attendant Li was by his side.
He conveyed his oral edict to her.
Summon Imperial Attendant Li!
Greetings to Your Highness.
Imperial Attendant Li.
The former emperor was fine the day before his death
so why would he suddenly...
He died of a sudden illness.
Can any imperial physician prove it?
Imperial Physician Chen was on duty.
Master Gao, should I summon him?
I wouldn't dare ask you to do so.
Since Your Highness said so, there's no need to summon him.
Imperial Attendant Li.
Did the former emperor really leave an oral edict?
Yes, Master Gao.
When he passed away, I was right by his side.
His Majesty...
He did leave a posthumous edict.
Who did he leave the throne to?
The former emperor left the throne to...
Prince of Nan-An.
Imperial Attendant Li, do you have any token from him to prove it?
Master Gao.
Do you suspect me of forcing
Imperial Attendant Li to announce a false edict?
I wouldn't dare do so.
It will be hard to convince everyone just with Li Wei Young's testimony alone.
We can't enthrone a new ruler on her word.
- Indeed. - Exactly.
I have the token.
This truly is the former emperor's jade seal.
Exactly.
All of his confidential decrees and letters must be stamped with this seal.
He really did pass the throne to Prince of Nan-An.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Great blessings to Your Majesty.
- This is impossible. - Great blessings to Your Majesty.
This is...
What is this for?
Master Gao.
I am following the orders of the former emperor.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
[Enxian Gate]
I wonder how Tuoba Jun is right now.
Tuoba Jun...
Are you still thinking about Tuoba Jun?
Don't you think about him often enough?
I could do whatever he does for you.
I could give you more than what he could give to you.
He would never threaten me with my family.
Is that so?
It all came to this because he made me.
If he didn't want to compete for power against me
it wouldn't have had to end this way.
He did all this.
That is an excuse you made for your treacherous acts.
How many people have you killed for your personal desires?
What wrong had Crown Prince done to you?
Over 100 people from Minister of the Imperial Clan's manor...
Did they harm you?
The former emperor is your father.
You killed him. Are you still human?
I didn't kill my father!
Zong Ai acted on his own. I never...
Does Zong Ai not work for you?
Did you not benefit from his actions?
Did you not force me to announce a false oral edict?
So many people endure hardships.
If everyone acted as they please like you do
and harmed innocent people
what would this world become?
Stop making excuses for your lack of humanity.
If I truly am as ruthless as you say
I should have you killed right now.
Do it.
Li Wei Young.
Don't provoke me.
Have you forgotten?
Everyone you care about is now in my hands.
Guards?
Bring them in here.
What are you going to do to them now?
I'm just going to let them keep you company.
It seems that you still don't know me well.
It's all right.
We have all the time in the world.
- Greetings to Your Majesty. - Greetings to Your Majesty.
Do rise.
- Wei Young. - Grandmother.
Mother.
Are you all right?
Has he mistreated you?
We're all right.
Your grandmother and I have been so worried about you.
I'm all right.
Wei Young, your mother and I have become a burden on you.
Grandmother, it all comes down to destiny.
Whatever he took by force might not last long.
Wei Young.
You're in the palace alone. You must be more careful.
Wei Young, I'm sorry.
I treated you so poorly, but you were still willing to save me.
Chang Xi.
As long as you will have me, I'll always be your cousin.
Wei Young.
Wei Young, I heard that Prince of Gaoyang colluded with Rourans to rebel
and is now imprisoned in the Imperial Dungeon. Did you know?
What?
Why did you frame Tuoba Jun?
Princess Consort of Gaoyang showed up
in court with evidence to accuse him of mutiny.
There's evidence to prove him guilty.
There's nothing I could do.
You colluded with Li Chang Le.
I won't let you get away with it.
I'll tell everyone the truth!
Who will believe you?
Wei Young.
You're really too naive.
When you announced Father's posthumous edict
who else but Gao Yun dared to question me?
Do you really think that none of the other officials had any doubts?
I made you announce the edict to make things easier for everyone.
That will save them from being rendered as disloyal subjects.
You don't believe me?
If you don't, you could go tell them that you lied.
Let's see who would believe you.
Even if they do, I can just have them killed.
You can't do this in front of others.
It wouldn't be good for anyone to see you.
You can do whatever you like in our sleeping quarters.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Has my sister annoyed Your Majesty again?
How does that concern you?
I have a favor to ask of you.
Keep talking.
Grandmother.
Wei Young, you're here.
His Majesty's orders! You are to leave the palace immediately! Leave!
This is...
Mother.
You must take care of yourself.
- So should you. - Leave now!
Stop right there.
His Majesty has given orders to search anyone who leaves the palace.
- Search them! - Yes.
Master, they have nothing on them.
Leave now!
Don't be scared. Don't be.
Old Madam.
We are family.
When will you wake up?
Do you know...
When I was on that hunting trip
and found out that you were a woman
I was really happy.
I only acted like I disliked you
because I don't know what to do with such affection.
I've asked myself more than once.
Could I love you?
At this moment...
I just want to tell you...
I love you.
Have you heard me?
Therefore... You have to wake up.
When you wake up, we'll get married.
You're my only wife.
I will give you a kiss every day.
This is the sixth time.
Doctor, how is she doing?
I have done all that I could.
It's up to the gods to see if she regains consciousness.
Why would this happen?
Young Mistress...
And Cheng De...
Where are you?
Jun Tao...
Cheng De!
Why are you wounded?
Tuoba Yu hunted me.
Let's head inside the hut first.
Jun Tao!
Li Chang Xi?
Jun Tao, Wei Young is now in Tuoba Yu's hands.
You have to save her!
What happened to my mistress?
She has a message for you.
I'll carry this stone with me at all times.
Whenever I miss you, I'll take it out.
When I look at it, it's as if I'm looking at you.
I will take you to him now.
Who knew that our high and mighty Prince of Gaoyang
would end up as a prisoner one day?
It was you.
You betrayed me.
You never regarded me as your wife.
How do you call that betrayal?
I was true and loving to you, but you let me down.
You deceived me.
You abandoned me.
Look at how you ended up. This is the gods' punishment to you!
Your affection are just that of your own making.
Just what you covet.
When you can't have what you want, you will stop at nothing to do evil.
Yet you think of yourself as some innocent victim.
Li Chang Le.
I feel ashamed for you.
Is that all you can do?
I'll see how long you can keep this up.
- Guards. - Present!
- Torture him. - Yes!
Don't stop until I say so.
- Yes! - Yes!
Tuoba Jun! Let go of me!
- Tuoba Jun! - However hard you yell, it's fruitless.
He can't hear you.
Stop.
Stop tormenting him!
You already got the throne you wanted.
But you're not mine yet.
Spin.
Tuoba Jun!
Let go of me!
How long are you going to torture him?
Do you have to kill him?
A loser's life means nothing anymore.
Whether I keep him alive or not is up to you.
You're trying to threaten me again.
How am I threatening you?
I only took you there to visit him.
You kept saying that you want to see him.
I fulfilled your wish.
Stop being such a hypocrite!
Don't you just want me to marry you?
Fine.
I'll agree to it.
But on three conditions.
Go on.
Clear my father's name.
He was framed.
He was not a traitor.
That's easy.
I just need to write up a decree.
Stop going after Prime Minister's family.
After you marry me, doesn't that make Li Xiao Ran my father-in-law?
How could I possibly go after my own family?
Free Tuoba Jun.
Sure, sure.
But I also have one condition to make.
You have to marry me willingly.
Water...
Wei Young?
How are you, Tuoba Jun?
Is it very uncomfortable?
I'm all right.
I'm so happy to see you.
Tuoba Yu...
Did he try to force you?
Has he done anything to you?
Wei Young...
I'm also very happy to see you.
I'm really very happy.
You must stay alive.
Wei Young.
Has Tuoba Yu threatened you?
Don't worry about me. His tricks won't work on me!
This is the last time I'll see you.
I'll be his empress very soon.
No...
What was between us is in the past.
From now on, we'll go our separate ways.
It's all over between us.
You can't do this to me.
We have to persist. We can't give up.
But I'm tired.
I can't keep on persisting.
We fought for so long, but what did we get in the end?
There's only pain.
Yes.
His Majesty threatened me with my family's lives and your life.
What can I do?
Tuoba Jun, the love between us brought too much pain to others.
It means nothing now. Why won't you just let it go?
Why do we have to be so selfish?
Do you really want me to watch them die one by one?
As long as I leave you, I can save everyone.
Give up on me.
No.
Wei Young, you mustn't.
His Majesty has already made a decree to clear my father's name.
If you don't give up, what else can you do for me?
He isn't the emperor!
He's a monster who killed his father to usurp the throne!
Our vows...
And those days we pulled through together.
Have you forgotten?
You're my most beloved.
We said that we will never part.
Don't you remember any of that?
I do! But so what if I do?
If you want to remember those vows, remember them for life.
You're now just a prisoner.
His Majesty is the emperor!
He can give me everything I want! What can you give me?
This is all you can give me.
Two lousy pebbles!
Wei Young, what are you doing?
The battle between you and His Majesty is over.
You lost! You've totally lost!
In history, His Majesty is the right and proper emperor.
As for you...
You're the traitor who colluded with Rouran.
Listen carefully.
Your ending... It will only be associated with Rouran.
You'll be cursed and despised forever.
It isn't so...
It can't be so...
Wei Young, are you lying to me?
Yes, I've lied to you.
Do you remember what happened in that secret chamber?
In one moment...
I really did fall for him.
Wei Young, you're lying to me.
You're lying to me. I won't believe you.
Tuoba Jun.
What is the matter?
You can't take it anymore?
How does it feel to be abandoned?
Today, you finally feel the same way as I do.
I'm so happy today.
I must have a drink with you.
Because... We finally share something in common!
Guards.
Bring the wine.
Here.
My husband...
I drink this toast to you.
Drink it.
Drink it!
Will you drink it or not?
The wine...
It's good.
Are you pretending to lose your mind?
Guards.
Beat him up.
Give him a good thrashing.
