Princess Silver (白发)

" Princess Silver "

Episode 29

Even if you kill me today,

I won't let you go.

But if I die,

there'll be no one in this world...

who will treat you sincerely.

I lost my family since young.

Our master took me in...

and I went through the most cruel training together with you.

There were so many days and nights...

where we relied on each other.

We've spent the toughest time together.

I thought that I'm different from others.

You once told me that I'm your most trusted person.

Because of that, all these years,

no matter what you asked me to do,

I did all of them willingly. Because I believe that...

I'm very important to you.

But recently, you've been disappointing me...

-with the task that you are given. -That's because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid to see you falling deeper and deeper for Rong Le.

I'm afraid that she'll one day harm you.

I don't wish to see you suffer from the bone piercing hurt again.

I don't wish to see you suffer from any harm.

I don't want you to be tortured by hate.

Even for our master,

I won't give him any excuses for him to hurt you.

The pain that you've suffered in the past...

should be repaid by all the best things in the world.

But now,

I want to have more.

Do you mean Rong Le?

She is not worth it.

She was once betrayed by her family.

And she was used by the people she trusted.

But she is still so kind and generous.

She is different from me and you.

That's because she's not hurt enough.

If everything is taken away from her...

and she can only survive by fighting in blood and sweat,

I don't believe that she can still keep her hands clean.

So,

I won't turn her into another you.

We have the same enemy.

All these years,

we have the same goal.

So, everything that you did today...

is not only for me.

It's for yourself as well.

Because you want this revenge too.

Hen Xiang.

I don't want to kill the person that you want to.

And I won't let you kill her either.

I'll disappoint you sooner or later.

Will you betray me?

The feelings and loyalty...

that you've mentioned...

are just something very shallow.

You are no longer my match.

I've never wanted to become your match.

I just want to try my best...

to help you with everything within my power.

You constantly remind me about revenge.

But she...

has always given me the light.

Where am I?

Why am I here?

Why are you laughing?

I'm just laughing at my own foolishness.

I've always wanted to protect you.

I never thought that you will be malicious towards me.

Chen Yu.

What do you want from me?

I won't hurt you.

My goal is just The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

So, you are here for the book as well.

Looks like you are not the real descendant of Qin.

You are indeed very smart. A hint is all you need.

I'm not Chen Yu.

And I'm not a descendant of Qin.

My only purpose in Northern Realm...

is to get my hand on this almighty, remarkable book.

And here I am, seeing you as my friend...

and trying my best to protect you.

Looks like you don't need it at all.

You used your hand in exchange for my life.

You gave me the zither music score...

and give me refuge in Moon Embrace Teahouse.

The sincerity that you had shown me is something so rare.

Actually, I've already considered you as my close friend.

But this book is with Prince Li now.

It's too hard to get it from him.

I don't have any other choices.

This is the only way.

The only way.

Who are you working for?

You are neither the people of Northern Realm...

nor the people of Western Qi.

Stop asking me. I won't tell you.

You have no choice because you are under someone's thumb.

Tell me.

Maybe I can be of help.

Look at yourself. How can you help me?

You are stuck in this situation today because of that book too, right?

Although our identities are different,

our fate is very similar.

Both of us are here for The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

But I'm doing it on my own free will...

while you were forced to do it. And you were betrayed by others.

All pawns will be sacrificed sooner or later.

You are of no exception.

Maybe you are right.

Now,

no matter it's to be...

controlled by others in the name of mission...

or to live our lives freely,

we have no say in it.

At least I'll fight for my right to choose.

I won't be a string puppet forever.

I'll remember...

what you say today.

I've already informed Prince Li.

As long as he is willing to give me the book,

I'll release you at once.

You've calculated wrongly.

He won't come.

Onlooker sees most of the game.

You are too blind to it because you are a part of it...

but I see it very clearly.

Although Fu Chou is very gentle and attentive to you,

he bears a deep grudge.

He might not derail his plan for you.

Prince Li on the other hand...

is very cold towards you,

but he's a sentimental and righteous man.

He won't even hesitate to sacrifice himself for you.

Let alone The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

What if he doesn't come?

He will.

Ever since he came back to Zhongshan,

he had saved you repeatedly.

He still loves you. Even the blind can see it.

And you still love him too.

But you are not willing to admit it.

That's right.

All of you can see it very clearly.

That's why all of you have a reason to use me.

And you said that you have no other choices.

Fine.

You have your own standing.

I understand.

I was once like you.

But Chen Yu,

no matter what's your reasoning is,

you've used me.

And it's a fact that you've betrayed me.

We can't be friends anymore.

The nation's affair is not a child's play.

Where did Wu You go?

Father, I...

You want to be sent to royal tomb?

Please calm down.

A report from southern region came.

It's an emergency about an outbreak of rebellion in Qingzhou.

Wu You had gone back to take care of it.

This is bad. Come back quickly, Wu You.

I can't cover up for you much longer.

What did you say?

-I... -Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Prince Fan Yang has requested to meet you.

-Let him in. -Yes, Your Majesty.

You may leave first.

Yes, father.

Uncle.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Be at ease.

Xuan Ming.

You'll be in charge of the war against Wei.

Yes, Your Majesty.

But Wu You is respected...

for his brilliance in leading an army.

He's way better in the art of war than me.

Wu You...

is indeed bold and talented.

But he has always opposed to the war against Wei.

He won't agree to go into war with me.

I plan to...

bring along Fu Chou with me.

And I'll leave the crown prince behind to take care of the country.

You want to bring General Fu away...

and leave behind crown prince.

Are you trying to separate the two?

Although Fu Chou...

looks very gentle, respectful and cautious,

he is a cunning person.

He's like a tiger or wolf.

He used the banquet as an excuse...

to give a girl to the crown prince.

He must have wanted to use the crown prince's status to his benefit.
