Untouchable Lovers

Episode 42

Why?

- Why? - Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, Her Highness left a sealed testament, telling them it was all her own plan.

You just received your mother's order and has no choice but to obey.

Just to save you, she bore all the crimes and responsibilities.

Royal Mother....Royal Mother.

Royal Mother. Royal Mother.

Royal Mother...

Prince Kang! Prince Kang

Prince Kang, what's wrong!

Prince Kang! Kang! Kang!

Prince Kang, ha! Prince Kang!

- Your Highness Prince Kang! - Your Highness!

- What'wrong with him? - Your Highness the Prince Kang!

After seeing the corpse of Her Highness the Imperial Consort Dowager,

he was severely traumatized and has become like that.

- I wasn't able to stop him and he just ran out. - Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness, are you alright? - Your Highness, what's wrong?

Don't be like this, Your Highness.

Your Highness...

Your Majesty, you're awake.

You injury has worsened. Why didn't you ask for the imperial physician?

It's just a small wound. No need to fuss over it.

Since Your Majesty refuses to call the imperial physician,

I'll take the matters in my own hand then.

Hongxiu,

only today did I realize that I'm very lonely.

Your Majesty, I will always stay by your side.

May General Shen help inform that I'm here. If I'm unable to see Prince Regent, I'm not leaving today.

Madam Le's request is really putting me in a difficult spot.

Prince Regent isn't seeing any guest today. Please just leave.

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Le Yun! Don't forget your status. This is not a place that you can behave atrociously.

Yes, I am just a lowly servant that washes clothes.

But a lofty and noble His Highness the Prince Regent also neede me.

If there were no people like us,

- who will he use as stepping stone for his grand ambition? - You...

What are you two doing?

Princess Consort.

- Please help me with a favor. - What help?

Le Yun, if you still don't leave, don't blame me for being disrespectful!

Princess Consort, I previously informed you of a secret.

Even if that was just a trap, I also almost lost my life.

Now, I only have one small request. Can't you even allow it?

If not because His Highness saved you, you have long been killed by rebels. You're still saying nonsense here?

Shen Yu, let me talk with her in private.

- Princess Consort. - Please.

by Prince Regent

I came for Le Yun.

If it's for that matter, don't bother saying it. I won't agree.

Le Yun risked her life to inform me of danger. Have you forgotten?

That was a trap set by Tuoba Yun.

But I still am grateful to her,

because she gave me the chance to go through danger with you.

Now that Prince Kang has fallen into this state, everyone are rushing to avoid him.

Only she insists to visit him. Where can you find such deep affection?

Moreover, she once risked her life to help me.

As they say, a debt of gratitude should be repaid forever.

I am very grateful to her and wants to help her.

Rong Zhi, you are my husband.

Shouldn't you help me repay her this favor?

- You really want to help her? - Yes.

Tuoba Yun has become crazy. I also should visit him.

You're going too.

Let's go.

Greetings, Your Highness.

How is Prince Kang?

He has this stupefied look and would say crazy words.

He also refused to sleep at night and kept shouting. When we gave him food, he refused to eat them and kept saying that they are poisoned.

When we're not careful, he would run to the garden and eat grasses and tree roots.

Sometimes, he would also just stay there and space out. If no one took him back to his room,

he would be able to stay under the tree for several days.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, have you really gone crazy?

Are you alright?

So cold...

- Your Highness. - So hot.

Hot...

Why did he become like this?

Your Highness, you saw it. Prince Kang has lost any pain sensation.

He even can't discern between hot and cold. With the weather being so warm now, he still insisted that we light him some fire.

If we don't follow his orders, he would keep shouting and not bring anyone peace. We also have no choice.

So hot...

Your Highness.

Prince Regent, Prince Kang is already sick like this. He won't go against you again.

I beg you, just let me stay, okay?

You're really willing to stay?

I am willing... I really am willing.

He might never recover.

You're really willing to stay by a useless person's side.

My father was saved by you. I have now repaid that favor.

Now is the time that I pay Prince Kang back.

Even if I have to take care of him for a lifetime,

- I am willing. - Le Yun.

Just let her be. With Prince Kang being like this now,

he doesn't even have any servant by his side. Just let her stay.

Your Highness, this is against the rules.

If His Majesty gets mad about it, I'll bear all the consequences.

Thank you, Prince Regent.

Get up.

Le Yun, I sent you to the Prince Kang Manor to be my spy.

Never thought that you have to pay for it with the rest of your life.

I don't regret it.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, I'm Yun'er.

You really plan to let her stay by Prince Kang's side forever?

Weren't you the one who requested me to do this?

But I thought...

You think that Prince Kang is still normal.

You think that they will still have a wonderful ending.

It's impossible now.

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi used her life in exchange for Prince Kang's last chance of survival.

Even if it was like that, His Majesty didn't soften.

But Prince Kang has become insane. He must stay insane forever for him to live.

Do you understand?

Chuyu, as a son of the emperor,

it seems that since they were born,

they must face unending battles.

The pain from these is way beyond the glory that they achieve.

But if Prince Kang will be asked to choose once again,

he still will choose this same path.

Because this is his fate.

What fate? I don't believe such things.

Anyway, no matter what,

Rong Zhi, I will not let you become like him.

Never will.

Don't say such words again in the future.

I am a man.

I don't need a woman's protection.

But for a person that you like,

that is not called protecting, it's watching over.

Rong Zhi, I just have to watch over you.

Why are you blushing?

No such thing.

I saw it. Not only are you blushing,

your ears are red too. Let me see...

No such thing! I already said that there's none.

I personally saw it.

Why do you blush so easily?

You...

Greetings, Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

Your Highness, Princess Consort is here.

Chuyu, you're here. I heard about what happened before.

If not because you came on time, Rong Zhi would have been in grave danger.

It actually has nothing to do with me. It's General Huo who was able to come on time.

- Huo Xuan? - That's right, Your Highness.

Do you know that Feifeng General was so valiant that time. She was wearing an armor

and was riding on a mighty horse. It's like a deity that has come down from the heaven.

Chuyu, sometimes you're very smart,

but sometimes you're too muddled. You are making people very worried.

It wasn't easy that a Ma Xueyun has left. Now, you have a...

Who?

I'm just saying it casually. Just remember it.

But it feels like Your Highness the Empress Dowager knows something.

Chuyu, I heard that you have this saying in your Han tribe.

'While the sky hasn't turned dark and raining, remove some barks from the mulberry tree,

and fix the bird's nest.'

Your Highness is asking me to prepare for the rainy days?

Right. While the sky hasn't rained yet,

shut your doors and windows tightly. While the thing hasn't happened yet,

you must prepare against those women with evil intentions beforehand.

Your Highness, are you just over worrying?

Your Highness! Your Highness!

What is it?

When they were implementing the punishment in Yiluan Palace, a palace servant was able to escape.

She caused a great ruckus outside earlier, but has already been captured back.

- Punishment? - Are you not yet leaving?

Yes.

Your Highness, what's going on in Yiluan Palace?

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi died in such a lonely manner.

I want to let all her servants accompany her.

Your Highness, you're going to kill them?

Princess Consort, you mustn't be disrespectful to Her Highness.

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi indeed committed a mistake, but it has nothing to do with those servants.

Chuyu, you pity them?

But if Prince Kang's rebellion was successful,

the one that will be purged with blood is the whole Imperial Palace and the Prince Regent's Manor.

By that time, no matter if it's you or me, can't luckily survive.

Princess Consort, I know that you are kindhearted.

But you probably didn't know that when those rebels trespassed into the palace that day,

they forced Her Highness the Empress Dowager to commit suicide.

Do you still feel that those palace servants shouldn't die?

Chuyu, you need not worry about other things.

Just think about the words I told you earlier.

Think about it well.

- Lanruo. - I'm here.

Her Highness the Empress Dowager is very weird today.

She tells me to prepare for the rainy days. It's as if she's telling me that someone will be stealing Rong Zhi from me.

Her Highness was just concerned about you.

After listening to it, you must put it inside your heart.

But I don't like saying things in such muttering and mumbling manner. What can't be said frankly?

Princess Consort, why can't you understand it? The person that Empress Dowager is referring to is—

Who?

I also don't know.
