Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 31

- Missing? - Yes. Princess Consort got abducted by the assassin

and has now gone missing.

Mistress, you are—

Missing is good. It will be better if she doesn't return forever.

This way, I can be at ease.

That's right. Maybe, right now,

she has already become a pond of muddy flesh.

Bixi.

What is it?

This dress is too lavish.

The Prince Regent's Wife has gone missing.

As a concubine, I should also look worried.

I must no wear such lavish clothes.

That's right. It's me who wasn't able to make the proper considerations.

It's still Mistress who is more thorough.

I'll then go pick you a simpler and more ordinary dress.

Go...

Yes.

Greetings, Madam Le.

Wait.

The 100 year-old blood ginseng in our storage room?

That ginseng was granted by Empress Dowager. His Highness actually could bear to give it away?

But don't know who it was that failed to appreciate such extreme kindness

that he had it returned untouched.

Talk. I don't really eat people. Why are you trembling?

Le Yun, no matter how you interrogate them, they wouldn't dare tell it to you.

Why are you two still here?

Leave!

What do you mean by those words?

Do you know why His Highness like you?

Why?

I thought that you are a smart woman.

Never thought that when it comes to love, you're also so stupid.

Think about it. That little portrait in His Highness' study

and those precious medicinal ingredients that got sent out,

don't you have any other thoughts?

The woman that His Highness loves

is Wei's most respectable Feifeng General who is skilled in both knowledge and fighting,

extremely intelligent.

While you are just a lowly servant

that looked a bit like her and able to earn some respect and favor.

The more you are outrageously pleased with yourself,

the more it shows that you are a lowly toy.

One day, you'll get abandoned like a garbage.

You think I still will get fooled by you?

Now that the real master has returned,

an imitation like you should better just stay within your bounds.

Stop flaunting your prowess above my head. Or else, I won't mind

making a cut on your face. By then,

you will even lose the remaining dignity that you have.

Life is like a game of chess, changes is a constant thing.

If we don't reach the end, how will we know who the real victor is?

Since you're that confident, I won't mind waiting to see it.

But you should pray to the heaven.

Huo Xuan has always spoken bluntly.

As long as one day, she waves her hands,

His Highness will then forget about you.

It's you? Tian Rujing?

Princess, long time no see.

Why did Imperial Astrologer come here to Wei? Did you especially come to see me?

Wrong. You clearly were trying to kill Rong Zhi earlier. Why?

Princess, if I indeed came to kill Rong Zhi, what will you do?

You can't!

Why not?

I came to Wei exactly to pacify the war.

Now, you're telling me that you're here to kill the Prince Regent?

What then is the point of me traveling far to come here?

This is a scheme among the imperial power to begin with.

Liu Yu used you.

No. I willingly did this.

This decision might sound absurd

and it also brought me a lot of misfortunes, but I don't regret it.

Princess, are you crazy?

Or towards Rong Zhi, you have already...

No. This time, you can't stay.

- What are you doing?! - I'm taking you back to Song.

I'm not going back.

I indeed am homesick, but I can't just abandon my duties.

If I go back with you,

Wei will surely get mad and start the flames of war.

I would then become a sinner condemned for ages.

You're really not leaving?

Not leaving.

If you don't go with me, you surely will regret it.

I said it already that I will never regret it.

Since that's the case, why don't we make a bet on it.

Bet on what?

If you safely go back without any injuries at all,

it will surely incite the suspicion of everyone. Do you believe it?

After the suspicions, rumors will arise.

By then, how will you act?

But that's good too.

I hope that you can see Rong Zhi's real personality earlier.

- You... - Go now.

Hurry! Hurry and inform His Highness that Princess Consort is back!

Greetings Princess Consort.

Let me see. Are you hurt?

Lanruo, don't check anymore. I'm not hurt.

The assassin really didn't hurt you?

No. None at all.

You're really fine?

Lanruo, don't look anymore. I'm really fine.

Your Highness.

How did you return?

The assassin just left me when we reached the city outskirts.

He didn't hurt you?

What do you mean?

What are you suspecting?

Nothing. I'm going back now.

Stop right there! Say it again!

You clearly know what I mean. Don't you?

You suspect that I'm related to the assassin.

That the assassin was sent by Song. Am I right?

Since you know, why must you still ask?

Despicable.

Chuyu...

Get out! I don't want to see you again!

If you safely go back without any injuries at all,

it will surely incite the suspicion of everyone.

I hope that you can see Rong Zhi's real personality earlier.

Your Highness, how is Princess Consort.

She's fine.

Your Highness was clearly concerned about her.

Why then must you be overbearing?

I said the wrong words.

Send someone to keep watch of her closely. Don't let her run around.

Also, those that saw her come back, make them all shut up.

Your Highness, are you worried—

Remember. Chuyu was painstakingly rescued by you. Understand?

But this way...

At this time, I don't want anyone to know

that the assassin is related to Liu Song.

The more I don't want anyone to suspect Chuyu.

Yes.

She came back unhurt?

Yes. I heard that General Shen engaged that assassin in a desperate fight

while searching the southern side of the city.

He then was able to successfully rescue Princess Consort.

I thought that she won't be able to return anymoroe.

Never thought that she would have such good fortune and was able to return safely.

That's right. I also find it strange.

We can only say that she's too fortunate.

Not right.

What's not right?

Shen Yu is a low key person.

How come he is spreading this news too loudly?

Maybe he wants to earn some merits.

I fear that there is a story behind the Princess Consort's rescue.

What story can it be?

The more he tries to cover this matter up,

the more I feel that Princess Consort is in collusion with that assassin.

Song has been eyeing our empire covetously.

Since their initial plan failed, not they want to coordinate an offensive from outside and inside, find a chance to implement the assassination.

This time, Princess Consort got rescued back.

They surely wanted to clear her connection with the assassin.

They thought that just preserving her life is enough.

They all forgot

that when a woman stays with a male stranger,

what could be the consequence?

Bixi.

Send people to spread a rumor. Just say...

Have you heard it? The Prince Regent's Wife got abducted by an assassin.

She just got rescued by their personal guards.

We should thank the heaven then.

This Prince Regent's Wife is really a fortunate and blessed individual,

- What are you doing here? - of noble status.

- General, they are talking about the abduction of Prince Regent's Wife. - That's right. She actually returned unscathed. - What do you know?

The person indeed returned safely,

but that hat on Prince Regent's head now is very green. (have an unfilial wife)

Don't say such things so casually.

I'm not making up nonsense. Think about it.

A beautiful woman ending up in the hands of an assassin,

tell me, what can happen?

This Prince Regent having to suffer such shame in silence like that, he's really quite pitiful.

That is a Liu Song princess. He can't just casually divorce her.

This will really eat up his life.

Are you people too full? (have nothing else better to do)

You people should be careful of your head.

No...who was that?

- General, don't be angry anymore. - So meddlesome.

- Go back first. - Where are you going?

- Go back! - Okay.

Oh? People outside are really saying that?

I got accurate news.

This news indeed came from the Prince Regent's manor.

Prince Regent's women charm is too strong, causing fire to ignite within his harem.

He married the Liu Song princess and the precious pearl of Chancellor Ma at the same time.

Of course, he was asking for trouble.

Prince Regent has now become the joke of the town.

His prestige will surely get affected.

Right now, we just need to light a fire

and burn him to the point that he's unable to make a comeback.

Do you have any good idea?

Your Highness, do you remember the task that His Majesty gave you years ago?

Say it.

Someone gifted the palace red pearl-scale fishes and white pheasants from the Western Regions.

That time, His Majesty divided them to both you and Prince Regent to be cared for.

The white pheasants are now in your precious beast zoo.
