Princess Silver (白发)

Episode 1

You can never escape us.

Your Highness!

Your Majesty. Princess Rong Le is awake.

Your Majesty.

Come on.

Even if you disagree with this marriage alliance,

you shouldn't have run away on your own.

You are wounded and blamed.

Are you happy now?

Who are you?

What is this place?

Rong Le.

Your Majesty, Physician Liu's worry came true.

Her Highness might have had a concussion.

That is why she lost her memories.

Her Highness? What are you talking about?

I lost my memories?

I don't understand a thing you say.

You are in the royal palace of Western Qi.

I am the Emperor of Western Qi.

You are my younger sister.

You are Princess Rong Le of this nation.

I am ...

Princess Rong Le of Western Qi?

Yes.

Your Majesty.

The medicine is ready.

Don't be worried about this.

According to the physician,

as long as you take your medicine on time,

you will slowly regain your memories.

Take your medicine.

I am not drinking this.

It's all right.

You just woke up, you must be feeling a little discomfort.

Stay here and rest well.

You may drink it when you wish to.

Little Xun.

Rong Le.

You have my word.

I will do whatever it takes to help you regain your memories.

Calm down and get well.

You are dismissed.

Let the princess have some rest.

Yes.

Rong Le?

Princess?

Marriage arrangement?

Amnesia?

An emperor for brother?

Why can't I remember any of these?

Who exactly am I?

-Is this where I lived? -Yes, Your Highness.

You are His Majesty's only sister.

His Majesty loves you very much.

No matter how busy His Majesty is with the nation's affair,

whether it has been days or longer,

he will be here to visit you.

Your Highness is very clingy to His Majesty too.

Your Highness.

Your Highness?

Your Highness?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Am I really a princess?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, why are you here? Are you all right?

Your Highness.

Your Highness?

Your Majesty.

You seem to be feeling better now.

I promised you I will help you find the memories.

I can help you regain the lost memories if you want.

However,

if you act recklessly like you were just now....

and charge right into everything,

not only will it not help,

you will even get hurt and lectured.

Please, refrain yourself from doing that.

This was your favourite place once.

It feels familiar, does it?

Does it remind you of something?

Rong Le.

Back in the days,

you love to brew tea in this room.

You were great at brewing tea.

No one in the whole palace can best your skills.

Let's give it a try.

You should try too.

How is it?

See? You may have lost your memories,

but I think...

the muscle memories for your interest still remain.

Rong Le, don't worry about this.

Everything will be back to normal.

These are your favourite desserts.

Give it a try.

It's okay.

One step at a time.

Let me play you a song.

It was once the song you love the most.

You always asked me to play it for you.

I always think...

the time we spent playing melodies and brewing tea...

were the happiest moments of our life.

So that reminiscence does not linger,

so that sorrow never lasts.

Why is this written in different handwriting?

Your Highness.

Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine.

Ling Yue.

Can you tell if I wrote this poem?

Yes, you wrote this.

I was there when you wrote this.

All right, Your Highness.

Come on, finish this medicine.

I will drink it later.

The Empress Dowager arrives!

Come on, Your Highness. We should be kneeling.

Arrest her.

What do you want? Let go of me!

Why are you arresting me?

The alliance of Western Qi and the Northern Realm is a reality.

You are going to the Northern Realm whether you like it or not!

Seize her!

Your Majesty.

Mother, please calm down.

Rong Le broke the rules because she has amnesia.

She must fulfil this marriage with or without her memories.

Mother, the Northern Realm is far from here.

She might never have a chance to return if she leaves.

Rong Le is hurt and suffering from injury.

It's only reasonable if she refuses to go.

As for the marriage arrangement,

maybe we should delay it.

The army of Chen is advancing on our borders.

There are still skirmishes within our land.

We have no means to fight the enemies.

The fate of this nation is hanging by the thread.

If we ally with the Northern Realm,

Chen will be pincered by both of our nations.

They will retreat tactically.

I simply don't understand.

Why are you still hesitating on making the decision?

As for the war with Chen,

I will come up with a strategy.

But Rong Le is suffering from wounds and amnesia.

The matter with the marriage...

needs more time to be considered.

In the end, it's all about her.

I was kind enough to spare your life and crowned you the princess.

Now, I still have the power to make you die a slow death.

Mother, please show mercy.

The date for the wedding is a week from now.

I shall order the servant to place that poison wine in the main hall.

Mother.

Why must you do this?

You can either send her on a litter to the Northern Realm...

or you can prepare for my funeral a week from now.

The choice is yours.

Your Majesty.

Rong Le?

Rong Le?

-What do you want? -Don't be afraid.

I will not send you away for a marriage alliance.

I will sneak you out of here now.

Fear not.

I am taking you to a place.

Once you are there,

everything will be clear to you.

You lived here for quite a while once.

You liked this place.

Do you like it?

So that reminiscence does not linger,

so that sorrow never lasts.

How do you know?

Are you suspecting that...

these words weren't written by your hands?

Come with me.

These handwritings seem similar to mine.

The writings on the wall are mine.

Rong Le, you were very fond of my handwriting.

You always tried to copy the way I write.

The words on these papers...

are the writings you copied...

while you were having free time.

This little hut does feel familiar to me.

If I were a delicate princess that grew up in the palace,

why does it feel so alien to me?

You were born and raised in the Cold Harem.

Your mother was a peasant with mesmerizing beauty.

But he offended my father and was banished.

She was already pregnant with you.

Eight months later, she gave birth to you in the Cold Harem.

That is why the Empress Dowager was so mean to me.

She went through some accident.

Her face was scarred.

It changed her personality as well.

I see.
