Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 8

Greetings to the Pavilion Master.

How come you two keep delaying the completion of the mission I gave you?

Pavilion Master, because we failed last time,

the muddled Emperor has become suspicious.

Now, no matter where he goes, there are guards surrounding him. It's really hard to make a move.

Is it because you didn't have the chance or you are incompetent?

Pavilion Master, please forgive me.

You tell Zhu Que that I'm giving her ten more days.

If she still can't complete it,

don't bother doing it anymore.

Yes.

You have come, High Lord.

The first time I saw you, there were already two men dueling to have you.

After three years, your charm has become greater.

If not because the High Lord saved me,

I would have just become a toy of the nobility. What's there to be proud about?

Immediately leave Jiankang City. Go back and inform him

that the shortest will be several months, longest around half a year. Let him endure it for a little more while.

Yes. But Princess Shanyin has been making successive moves.

I fear that she will foil our great plan. Should we--

Don't touch her.

I naturally have a plan for the Princess. You must not interfere.

Yes.

Sister...

what's wrong?

Unhappy?

Fashi, what is the meaning of the nursery rhyme today?

Why must you get so angry?

There are two "Sons of Heaven" inside the Imperial palace. (T/N Emperors).

Dai Faxing is the real Son of Heaven,

while I am just an imitation Son of Heaven, who bears the name but doesn't have the power.

That hateful Dai Faxing.

He just had to take control of the state affairs.

He goes against whatever I do.

Just like last time I wanted to give you a gift, but he thought that it was too extravagant.

He cut the number of gifts into half!

Asshole! Totally an asshole!

What about the second part?

A Son of Heaven came to Xiang Province.

Of course, it refers to Prince Xiangdong.

Liu Yu?

Fashi, Dai Faxing is an old government official.

Liu Yu is our biological uncle.

Maybe it's a nursery rhyme that someone deliberately spread. Don't easily fall into their trap!

They still deserved to be punished!

Sister, you don't know that I've been enduring the two of them for a long time!

Very soon, very soon I will let the whole world know

who the real Son of Heaven is!

Fashi.

Fashi, don't make rash moves.

Sis....Sister.

While you still haven't investigated it clearly, don't make rash moves.

Didn't you promise me?

Sister, you don't understand.

You don't know how scared I am.

When I was still a Crown Prince,

that drunkard's nose liked that bastard Liu Ziluan more!

I was afraid every day.

I was afraid of getting killed by him, getting removed from my position.

But now, I'm already the Son of Heaven. Why must I fear them?

Calm down a little!

Dai Faxing... Liu Yu...

Liu Xiuren... Liu Xiuyou...

They all deserve to die. They all deserve to die!

Zong Yue, what are you doing?

Your Majesty, this man is sneaking around the area.

it seems as if he was secretly listening. We therefore arrested him.

May I ask Your Majesty how we are to deal with him?

What nonsense are you saying? He's my menke.

Your Highness the Princess, then it means that

your relationship with this spy is quite deep.

What do you mean?

Of course, I believe Sister. Zong Yue, stop with your nonsense.

For this man...

Kill.

Stop!

Sister, this man might be a spy.

If you like him, I'll give you eight to ten more!

Fashi, didn't you see?

He only came to change the fragrance censer.

Don't kill him.

Your Majesty, don't believe this person.

He must be a spy.

Fashi, I'm begging you already.

Don't keep killing people.

Sister.

Can you stop saying those words?

But you promised me.

How come you've forgotten it that easily?

Fashi, the nursery rhyme today must be a trap.

Don't easily fall into it, and randomly kill people just because of it.

Okay.

I'll think about it.

I'll immediately ask Menke Rong to come.

Fendai! Fendai!

Now you see it. The young man that you keep protecting

is just a butcher who doesn't blink when he kills.

The Pavilion Master is ordering you to take Liu Ziye's head

within ten days.

Zhu Que, I'm begging you.

Stop adhering to your foolish ways.

Your Highness.

Fashi killed people again today.

I was just by his side.

Your Highness, this is not your fault.

But Mo Xiang almost got killed too.

He will also not blame you.

You don't know.

It's not only like that.

Aren't you going to tell me?

Your Highness.

I can't forgive myself.

Because...

when I saw Mo Xiang in that dangerous situation...

what I actually was thinking is, "Good thing the one who came in wasn't Rong Zhi.

Good thing it was Mo Xiang. Good thing..."

No one deserves to die more than another person.

That's why, when I had those thoughts earlier,

I was too dark and mean.

Mo Xiang almost died because of me.

Almost...

I keep being self-righteous like this,

one after the other.

Your Highness, stop blaming yourself. This isn't your fault.

If there is anyone who committed a mistake, then it must be me.

It was I who worried that His Majesty's mood might become unstable, and ordered him to deliver the fragrance.

Your Highness has done very well.

It's not that you don't care about Mo Xiang's life.

You just...

just care about me more.

Your Highness.

I should go back now.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What is it?

Don't get near Rong Zhi. He's very dangerous.

Persuading you to come around is probably not random.

I've been in the Princess' Manor for a long time. Rong Zhi is the only person that I can't fully understand.

You must be extra careful with him.

I know already. Thank you for reminding me.

Why were you stupid?

With such a situation, you actually charged into it.

What if you lose your life because of it?

Am I not alright now?

So painful. Lightly.

Only pain can make you remember this lesson.

If the blade of the sword just deviated a little more,

you already would have lost your head!

Fendai, I'll be on duty tonight.

Just take a good rest. I'll get going now.

This is a medicine I asked Rong Zhi to prescribe.

It's good for your wound. Drink it while it's hot.

Thanks.

I should be the one thanking you.

I'm just a menke of lowly class,

yet you risked your life to protect me.

That is something that I never expected.

That time...

That time, I also wasn't thinking much.

I just...don't want you to get hurt.

Have a good rest.

I'll get going now.

Fendai?

Your wound isn't healed yet. Why don't you go back and rest?

Zhu Que,

you know what you should do.

Right? I must remind you that

you don't have much time left. If Liu Ziye doesn't die,

you're the one who will.

I must remind you that

you don't have much time left. If Liu Ziye doesn't die,

you're the one who will.

Stop.

Your Highness, we've reached the palace.

Shen Youzhi, Longxiang General

Your Highness, Shen Youzhi is the nephew of Great General Shen.

He is in charge of the defense of the palace.

He and General Zong Yue are the trusted aides of His Majesty.

Every time His Majesty kills some high government officials,

he will always get involved. You must be careful.

- Wait for me here. - Yes.

Your Highness, I've warned you before.

Stop trying to bewitch His Majesty.

We are biological siblings. It's not your place to intervene between us.

Uncle, His Majesty currently favors her a lot.

Why don't we become on friendly terms with her?

As a subject, you just have to do your duty well.

Stop thinking of getting on other people's good sides all day and getting despised.

I admit to my mistake.

Your Highness, you're too late.

Do you know why I came here?

For Dai Faxing.

I came too late?

You're saying...

His Majesty just gave an order

to kill Dai Faxing and his two sons.

But he clearly promised me that he'd think about it first.

Did you tell him something?
