Good Bye My Princess (Dong Gong / 东宫)

You wicked woman, I know that you did this.

You set up a plan to get rid of Xuniang's child and then frame Sese!

How could you say I did something like that?

You are always pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of imperial mother.

Don't think I don't know about you telling her that I have been cold towards you!

You are jealous of Sese, so you set this up to frame her!

You are even more evil than the world's most poisonous snake!

You pushed Sese away and broke us up.

Let me tell you, if something happens to Sese, I will not forgive you!

Then remove me from my Crown Princess Consort position now!

Do you think I married you willingly? That I care about being the Crown Princess Consort?

Let me tell you, that there are thousands of men in our Xi State and all are valiant heroes!

None of them is a useless scumbag like you!

Li Chengyin, what else can you do besides reciting poems? Your horse riding skills aren't even as good as mine.

If we were in Xi State, no one would want a man like you!

Crown Princess Consort, the Crown Prince is just venting his anger on you because of Related Lady of Excellence Zhao.

- Don't take it to heart. - I know that he doesn't like me,

but I never thought that he hated me this much!

He doesn't even hesitate to think of me as a malicious person!

His Related Lady of Excellence Zhao was framed, and he feels wronged.

But why does he have to vent out his anger on me?!

His imperial highnesss is just angry. Don't think about it too much.

He said that I am jealous of Related Lady of Excellence Zhao.

I am indeed jealous of her, because she has someone that cares about her.

No matter when and where, that person will trust, protect, and love her.

But I never thought about hurting her.

I know. I initially was afraid of Concubine Zhao using you to do bad things.

So, I was cautious around her. But I never would have thought that she still became impatient.

She still went to harm Lady of Precious Bevy Xu and her child.

The empress promoted her to Lady of Precious Bevy, so what?

Because Li Chengyin doesn't like her, she will be an addition to the pitiful people in the Eastern Palace.

Yongniang, let's go see her.

Alright.

You saw Rongshuang earlier, right?

I saw her.

You know that I had no way out of this.

Under that situation, what else can I do?

I know that hitting the Crown Princess Consort hurt you more than it may have hurt her.

Troubles in the palace are happening constantly like clouds and waves.

Especially around me. I doted on Sese, causing her to be sent to the abandoned palace.

She might even lose her life.

As of right now, your relationship with the Crown Princess Consort has shattered.

This might be a good thing for the her.

You're right.

That loud and and careless girl from the Xi State.

Right, about Sese,

she has treated me whole-heartedly. Humans are not made of wood or grass. Since she is from my palace,

then I will protect her safety.

Zhao, help me send in some medicines, food, and daily needs in there.

Then let her know about my current situation and try consoling her.

You still care about Related Lady of Excellence Zhao, Your Imperial Highness.

Pei Zhao, don't speak so sarcastically.

As Crown Prince, I am useless.

Right now, I can't protect the person I love or even the person that loves me.

Empress, the crown prince claims that it was crown princess consort who framed Concubine Zhao.

Once he stepped foot outside the palace, he hit her. Then they started arguing outside.

The crown prince even said that once he is the emperor,

the first thing he will do is to dismiss her from her main consort position.

Younger Sister, what do you think about this scheme?

Elder Sister, it's such a great plan. You hit two birds with one stone.

I have been preparing presents for uncle,

but I never had the chance to send them to him.

Today, I finally can ask you

to send them to him and tell him to take care.

Once father hears about what happened today, he surely will recover earlier.

Greetings to the Crown Princess Consort.

No rush, just lie down.

You don't have to greet me.

You are very weak. You must take care of yourself.

You are still young. Don't be sad.

Thank you, Crown Princess Consort.

What do you want to eat? I'll ask people to make it and then bring it over.

Or do you need anything? I'll send someone to get it for you.

I overheard the empress saying that she will write the decree to officially promote you.

In the future, you will be the Lady of Precious Bevy.

The first month after miscarriage and birth are similar. You must take care of yourself.

You are still young. There are still many days to come.

Once your health has recovered. You can still bear a child.

Don't cry. It will hurt your eyes.

Godfather.

You're back.

Jian'er, you're here.

I heard from Hu Xiao

that while I was gone,

you were able to independently take care of things.

And alongside the crown prince,

you got rid of Gao Zhen. I am very pleased.

Godfather, you flatter me.

Right, how is Mingyue？

Sir.

What is wrong？

I told him about Mingyue.

I am her to pick you up.

Hurry and pack your things.

I will send you out of the capital overnight.

If I disappear, the emperor will turn the whole sky upside down,

and eventually find me.

Do you know that these years,

I always had nightmares.

I dreamt of the once peaceful Chen Family turning into a river of blood.

I dreamt of mother dying while staring up into the skies.

I don't want to see nightmares anymore.

I want those people to pay for their crimes!

I want the innocent souls of the Chen Family to rest in peace.

I can only take revenge by bringing down the Gao family.

Then, I can go back to being mother's daughter, not Mingyue of Singing Jade Brothel.

Taking revenge is a job for men.

What does it have to do with a girl like you?

For revenge,

I spent twenty years of my life.

I don't want you to be like me.

I don't want you to follow my footsteps.

I know that you hate me,

but you should not do this to take revenge on me.

I'm not taking revenge on you.

No matter what, I will not keep myself out of this.

But you are my daughter.

I don't want to see you get involved.

If you had another chance,

will you save the Gu Family,

or come back home?

You know my answer.

If the Heaven gave me another chance,

I will risk my life to save you and your mother,

then go fight until death alongside the Gu family.

Unfortunately,

it is too late now.

Think about it well.

You can come find me anytime.

Are you willing to come with me

and pay respects to mother's tomb?

At that time, I was still too young.

I couldn't claim mother's body.

I was only able to make a memorial tomb for her.

I couldn't even carve her name on it.

I just left a nameless tomb for her.

On the day of the incident,

I bought your mother

a jade hairpin from a street stall.

I was planning to put it on her myself,

but I never had the chance.

Mother!

Father said he'll come back.

Mother, you finally saw him.

Father is back.

He is back to see you.

A'Du, it is dark!

How can the Crown Princess Consort not eat or drink all day?

I know that she is sleeping, but she can't sleep all day.

Crown Princess Consort! My life is on the line.

A'Du, hurry and find her!

What are you doing here?

I know that something happened in the palace.

I was worried so I came to see you.

Why are you up here?

I came up for a fresh breath of air. Who knew you were here too.

Do you want to go outside the palace？

No, it's fine.

I need to behave these days.

Or Yongniang and others will panic and cry again.

He hit you？

How did you know？

It's fine. I hit him back.

He didn't get anything good out of it. I used so much strength that my hand went numb.

It's fine.

XIaofeng,

do you want to leave?

Leave with you?

Before, I thought that as long as you are happy,

it's fine if you stay in the Eastern Palace.

I can be by your side from time to time.

But, you aren't happy here.

Instead of being like that, it's better if you leave now.

Who said that I am unhappy?

Xiaofeng, look.

Look at this Eastern Palace.

The walls are so tall, and they're surrounding you.

It's like a prison that shuts you away from any sunlight.

How can you be trapped away like that?

Gu Jian, are you crazy?

How can I leave with you?

What do you want me to do so that you are willing to leave with me?

Do you want me to tie you up?

If you think that you can make decisions for me just because you are my teacher,

then you are wrong.

Do you think that because you are highly skilled in martial arts, no one can stop you?

Let me tell you, if I scream or make a commotion

and alert the Yulin Palace Guards, you'll be shot until you turn into a porcupine.

Did you forget who I am?

As long as I have my sword,

even if the Yulin Palace Guards of the whole Eastern Palace comes,

they won't be able to stop me.

Since you are so skilled, does that mean you are the best in the world and has never lost?

Don't you really remember

that I lost to you in a sword fight?

Me? You lost to me in a sword fight?

In that sword fight, we bet on the remainder of our life.

If I lose, then I will be your husband.

I will love, protect, treasure, and accompany you.

Then what if I lost?
