Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 37

From today forward into the future,

His Highness will be forced to account for and forever remember me,

unlikely any more that he would forget me.

You know that now, right?

Ma Yueyun...

Ma Yueyun!

Ma Yueyun threw herself off and fell down after that.

She had tears on her face and was smiling at me.

I finally understand the justification for Ma Yueyun to commit suicide.

On the one hand, she is using the most extreme manner to sever her relationship with Rong Zhi

to make him never forget for the rest of his life.

In the second place, to stake it all on one throw and die,

calls you to defend yourself from something you were not capable of doing.

At what time did she finally begin to plan this?

I went over today to talk to the maidservants in Xuanguang Palace.

They told me that Concubine Ma mentioned she desired to make the most fashionable ivory leaf cards.

Right. This was precisely done to request the ivory for the leaf cards.

This way she would be able to have a reason to visit the Xuanguang Palace.

The Empress Dowager is fond of new and uncommon ways and play, she would have no reason not to directly hand over the treasured item as something benefiting herself,

and request to offer the cards as a present for His Majesty.

Because she quite clearly knows His Majesty's love for Guiren Feng,

and as Guiren Feng comes from an impoverished background and is anxious to establish a steady grounding in the palace,

His Majesty would certainly give her the present, so she could curry favor with the Empress Dowager.

She calculated this plan step by step so well.

If His Majesty didn't give it to her, would you have gone?

Of course not. Because I am on good terms with Hongxiu,

everyone in the palace knows, so naturally I would not reject that.

That's why she calculated everything extremely clearly.

Even if you were to reject, she would still take you together with her and leave.

But you should not have followed her up to the pavilion alone!

That was because...

Because of what?

Say it! How can you still be hiding things now?

I was too careless.

I thought she would have the strength of a tied chicken.

Who knew that with her calculations, she saw through my every step.

-Right. Because you are foolish! -You-

Rong Zhi, stop blaming her.

The hardest thing to defend again is a secret attack. Ma Xueyun already made preparations.

No matter how she tried to dodge, it would have been impossible to avoid it.

She is too ruthless.

That is not her only motive.

Chancellor Ma.

Right. Ma Xueyun used her own life to force Ma Zhongliang.

Once his only precious daughter died, no matter how shrewd he is,

he would still fight to the death.

Now that the human evidence is gone,

any physical evidence is gone,

there is only death left for me.

I don't want to die in a foreign land.

If I were to really die,

please send me back to Great Song.

I will not let you die.

Chuyu, you are the princess of Liu Song,

but you are also the Prince Regent's Wife of Great Wei. No one will dare execute you so easily.

Just wait here. If you try to commit suicide,

I will tell the whole world that you were afraid to face punishment and killed yourself!

-I have no crimes! -Then live well!

Live until I have proven your innocence.

Take care of yourself well.

I'm sure you are very clear. Ma Xueyun is dead,

and there was no evidence on the Leaf Cards.

So what?

No matter how much suspicions we have, there is still no solid evidence.

No one will believe the Princess Consort.

I believe her.

Rong Zhi. Did you fall in love with Chuyu?

I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering me?

She is the Princess Consort, and the Princess of Liu Song.

I cannot watch her be killed unfairly.

Good. I'll help you.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

Your daughter Xueyun will never compare to the words 'power' to you.

Ever since I was young until now,

you put in so much effort to care for me.

All so that this chess piece of yours could be more precious.

But in the end, a chess piece is still a chess piece.

It will never be a live human!

All the things that you say are for your own interest.

Have you ever truly cared about me?

Master.

Say it! Before your mistress entered the palace did she have any words for me?

Mistress had none.

I do not believe this! How could she not leave a single word for me. Speak!

Master, there is really nothing!

Then what is the point of having you? Just say it honestly!

Master. Before she entered the palace, Mistress was perfectly fine. There was nothing out of the ordinary!

I... I also do not know how things came to this.

Master, I really am not lying!

No way. This is impossible.

How could Xueyun not leave a single word for me?

-She obviously- -If Xueyun was really pushed off by the Princess Consort,

how could she leave any words beforehand?

Prince Regent, what are you saying?

What do I mean, Chancellor Ma I think you know it the best.

I do not.

Chancellor Ma you already knew that in the past few days Xueyun has been a little crazy.

In your heart you are extremely clear

that Xueyun killed herself.

If that wasn't the case, then why are you here to forcefully ask for her last words?

I only just want to ask,

if my daughter had any odd behaviours before she entered the palace.

Prince Regent you are overthinking.

Or could it be, Prince Regent has already steeled his heart

and will help Liu Chuyu escape her crimes?

How can someone who has no crimes escape a crime?

Prince Regent!

If Chuyu had evil intentions and really wanted to kill her,

she would have killed her long ago in the manor.

Why would she go all the way to the pavilion and cause such a huge scene?

Furthermore, Xueyun has already become delirious.

You shut up!

My daughter is not crazy, she will never go crazy. She is very much normal!

Speak! What reason does Ma Xueyun have to kill herself?

Why would she kill herself?

Rong Zhi! You promised before,

you promised that you would protect my Xueyun for her whole life.

Is this how you protect her?

-Chancellor Ma. -I regret it.

I have done many wrong things, the worst of it was letting my Xueyun get married to you!

How could I, Ma Zhongliang, be so greedy towards wanting wealth and glory,

even wanting them over my daughter. Is this my retribution?

Prince Regent. I used to admire you greatly.

But now that my daughter is dead,

everything is different.

I will ensure that Liu Chuyu pays with her life!

If you still want to stop me,

don't blame me for being rude.

Bixi, go gather all your Mistress' favourite things.

Prepare them to be buried with her.

Yes.

Lord, lord! His Highness he-

Leave.

Yes.

Chancellor Ma. Do you really believe Prince Regent

will give Concubine Ma justice?

Princess Consort has committed numerous crimes.

Each time she has safely escaped.

I will make a bet with you.

This time, she will still not get punished.

Shut up!

Are you angry?

For Prince Regent, you toiled daily and planned meticulously for him.

Now that he is standing on his own roots,

you have ended up losing a daughter.

What's the difference of that with boiling the hound once it has caught the rabbit?

He is so emotionless to everyone else around him

Plus, the Ma family is just a stepping stone to him.

Tuoba Yun, you coming all the way to my place

and antagonising me like this,

isn't it just because you want me to alliance with you?

Don't forget, you just fell into a trap set by Prince Regent.

I think you still have some hatred towards me.

What are you laughing about?

I am just laughing at you.

Chancellor Ma, you could be smart for your whole life, but dumb for one moment.

Today for me to be able to drink a cup of wine with you,

is because I have already forgiven

you for that time when you played such a trick on me.

Of course, to be able to share your worries,

is my honour.

Prince Kang, you're so magnanimous.

Fine then. You want to join forces with me?

It's also possible.

I have only one condition. On the day of Xue Yun'e funeral procession,

I must see Liu Chuyu's head.

That is also my wish.

General, what are you thinking?

Tell me, why did Ma Xueyun jumped off the tower to kill herself?

How would I know? A woman's thoughts are the hardest to guess.

After staying with you for a long time, I'm still unable to correctly guess your thoughts.

Moreover, a woman like Ma Xueyun.

Ma Xueyun was pretty and intelligent and is knows as a gentleman among the orchids.

Why then will she do something that will harm both others and herself?

- That I know. Because of hatred from extreme envy. - Hatred?

That's right, she envied Prince Regent's Wife as being the main wife, while she's just a side wife.

Also, I heard that...

Heard what?

I heard that she's not as virtuous as before and had one maidservant flogged to death. This angered Prince Regent very much.

Even if that's the case, she was still the treasured pearl of Chancellor Ma. No one can dare do anything to her.

Why then must she cause things to end up this way?

That's also what I can't understand.

If what Prince Regent's Wife said is true that Ma Xueyun didn't care to die,

why not just perish together?

This way, one slap at the table and each glaring at each other,

none of them will be able to obtain Prince Regent.

Why are you looking at me like that? I was just casually saying it.

But I feel that what you said is very reasonable.

Reasonable?

- Where are you going? - Going out to take a stroll.

Old Mister Liu, that medicine you took has shenling.

Plus you took in too much alcohol, that's why, you suddenly vomited blood. It's not that grave.

Hold this well. Take this on time every day.

I guarantee that you'll be fine in 3 to 5 days.

Doctor Gu, you've said it 3 times.

Don't worry. I've memorized it.

Okay.

Doctor Gu, you're really a good person.
