Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Qingyue!

You must not create trouble!

Shen Yu, let go!

- Qingyue, calm down a little. - Let go of me!

Qingyue, how many times have I told you that you must not be impulsive. - Let go!

- Qingyue! - Let go of me! Let go!

- No matter how much you cause a ruckus, you won't be able to save her. - Your Highness. - Let go of me!

You will only cause her to die!

Your Highness.

Let her go.

- Where is Princess? - Qingyue.

What right do you all have to lock her up?

With only you entering the palace, you would have died even before you find her.

Even if you are able to rescue her, would you be able to escape Pingcheng?

So? I will not be like you,

just watching her get locked up.

I'll go think of a way!

Qingyue! Qingyue!

Your Highness, no wonder Qingyue is panicking like this.

I fear that Princess Consort this time is fraught with grim possibilities.

We can only blame Prince Kang for being too smart.

He knew what His Majesty and all the ministers are afraid of.

The timing was so accurate. This surely isn't a coincidence.

This kind of scheming and trick is really making me so mad.

His Majesty initially planned to give her a survival chance,

that's why, he wanted her to be locked up in the Ministry of Justice.

But all these have already been hindered.

10 days. Only 10 days.

We must investigate the evil plot behind the Yunmeng County massacre

and investigate the truth behind the fire in the ceremonial stage.

How are we going to divide ourselves in doing those?

And Huo Xuan too.

General Huo.

She got captured because of defending the citizens. We still don't know if she's still alive.

And the evidences are all pointing against Liu Song.

I just fear that the valiant soldiers will be unable to contain themselves and cause trouble sooner or later.

But General Huo has numerous military achievement and has never lost.

No matter how strong she is, she is still just flesh and blood.

Just one person going against thousands of soldiers, how am I going to be at ease?

I've already investigated it. The source of the fire is the heaven lamp igniting by itself.

But the heaven lamp has been destroyed. We totally can't investigate why it suddenly ignited.

The other party was very nimble in their actions. We totally can't find a way to investigate and verify this matter.

But...there is still one breach point in this case.

Breach point?

High Priest is the envoy of the gods. He is trusted by His Majesty and the citizens.

After the heaven lamp ignited, he immediately passed the blame on Chuyu.

Don't you find that strange?

You're saying that High Priest got bribed?

Rather than saying that he got bribed, it's better to say

that he had developed extreme hatred towards Liu Song since early on.

Based on imperial family rules, a marriage alliance should have been blessed by the high priest.

But it's already been quite a long time since Chuyu got married off to here.

She never got to experience such a privilege.

It's as if this matter was forgotten.

I remember. The High Priest then said

that Liu Song is Wei's enemy. He will never agree to the marriage alliance.

It is His Majesty who willfully persisted to proceed with this marriage.

If that's the case, it's not strange for him to stand by Prince Kang's side.

Your Highness, High Priest is not seeing any guests.

I have a very important matter to ask. Please inform him again.

No matter how many times I inform him,

since he already said that he won't see you, then he surely won't see you.

Your Highness, please just go back.

Since he won't see me, I won't leave then.

Your Highness, you must not do this.

- What a scandal is it to have the distinguished Prince Regent sit here! - Then let him come and see me.

High Priest knows what you want to do.

But he said...

Said what?

He said that the person locked up in here is not your Princess Consort

but the princess of Liu Song. What she had brought to Wei

is not peace and stability,

but disaster and war.

This is the prophecy of the heaven.

He already said it numerous times.

Before, His Majesty didn't believe him, that's why, the present disasters are happening.

This time, we must eliminate the grass by its roots and forever prevent any future trouble .

That's all to be said.

May His Highness think about it clearly.

Your Highness, what must we do now?

Your Highness! Your Highness! Pingcheng is in trouble!

Prince Kang!

Prince Kang!

Prince Regent hurrying to come here, do you need anything from me?

Prince Kang, I heard that the Capital Governor is massively searching and capturing Song people in the capital right now.

Zheng Hao, a merchant that's been in business here for so many years, had his house burned to the ground, his valuables forcefully taken away,

and he got publicly executed. Is that true?

So, it's this matter.

I'm asking you a question. Are you the one who did this?

Zheng Hao indeed resisted arrest and was dealt with according to the law.

In just 2 days, you have arrested thousands of people.

The Song people are running for their lives in succession.

You people killing and looting, what's your difference with bandits?

None of your business.

This is an order by His Majesty. Do you plan to resist the imperial decree?

Why did His Majesty make such a decree,

- you clearly know the reason. - Liu Chuyu infiltrated Wei with evil intentions.

And those seemingly ordinary Liu Song merchants are all here too to get information.

You don't have any evidences at all.

As long as they are torture during interrogations, then the truth will come out.

I forgot to tell you, there are already more than a hundred people that admitted

that they were ordered by the Liu Song emperor

to stay in Pingcheng and relay messages.

You clearly know that the Captial Governor Qin Yuan is very sinister in his methods.

For criminals that fall into his hands, most will be forced to admit to their crimes.

But in reality, he is just an oppressive official who knows to torture people into admitting. Unfortunately,

this oppressive official is a loyal supporter of yours.

What are you laughing about?

Prince Regent has always hated the Princess Consort.

How come this time, you're unable to stay calm? You're so anxiously going around for her sake.

Could it be your coldness and enmity towards her before are all fake?

Of course, I don't care about Chuyu's life or death.

But I can't just sit and watch as someone raise winds and waves (make trouble)

to incite a war between Wei and Song.

What benefit will Prince Kang get from this?

What benefit will I have?

I'm doing all these all with the public interests in mind.

His Majesty is still waiting for me. I'll take my leave now.

Your Highness...

How is he?

His Majesty was too angry that it affected his heart, triggering his old illnes to recur.

Good thing, his health was usually good, so he'll be fine.

He just needs to rest for half a month and he'll fully recover.

But he must really rest well. Remember to not let him continue to toil himself.

Please.

General Shen, His Majesty is unwell yet you didn't inform me immediately.

You even let him be reckless. This is a negligence in your part.

Now that Princess Consort has been locked up, His Majesty can't just do nothing.

Moreover, this matter even involved General Huo and Liu Song. The matter is too urgent. We can't waste any time.

Enough. I don't want to hear these big excuses.

I just know that His Majesty can't strain himself anymore.

You should be the one to manage all other things.

Don't bother him again. His Highness needs to rest. Go out first.

Didn't you hear what I said? Immediately leave.

- Bixi. - I'm here.

Go and get the nerve calming fragrance.

Yes.

How is it?

His Highness has been sleeping for the whole day.

if this continues, there will really be no way to save Princess Consort.

I've already went in twice to check. His Highness is sleeping very soundly.

No one dared to disturb him.

- Don't you care about Princess Consort anymore? - Not that I don't care,

I really have no way to care. It's as if you don't know.

Concubine Ma is inside. I'm unable to say anything.

What time is it now? There's not time to care about statuses.

General Shen, please just leave.

Okay. I don't need you. I'll think of a way by myself.

Your Highness!

Your Highness! This is Shen Yu asking for an audience!

How dare him. What does he treat this place that he dared to speak so loudly?!

- Your HIghness! - Bixi, go out and tell him to immediately leave.

Yes.

Your Highness! This is Shen Yu and I'm asking to see you!

Your Highness!

- Your Highness. - Your Highness!

Why is it so noisy outside? Is it Shen Yu?

- Your Highness, your health is bad. Lie down for a while first. Just leave everything else to me. - Your Highness! This is Shen Yu and I'm asking to see you!

Your Highness!

You can't even stand anymore. Why do you still want to go out?

Your Highness! This is Shen Yu and I'm asking for an audience!

General Shen.

Your Highness...

Your Highness.

Concubine Ma, what did you do?

This is a valuable nerve calming fragrance. It can allow people to have a good rest.

Nerve calming fragrance? With such a strong scent, it can easily sedate people.

No wonder His Highness was sleeping for a whole day.

A whole day?

Ma Xueyun, I've warned you, yet you're still using such sinister schemes?

Your Highness, this fragrance is not harmful.

You need to rest.

Shen Yu, I'm going out.

Ma Xueyun, I have important matters to do.

Your Highness, you're health is bad. You should recuperate and build up energy.

How can you go out now? Don't you want your life anymore?

Immediately move aside.

- No, I'm not letting you go. - Ma Xueyun!

Is the so-called important matter Princess Consort again?

If I don't intervene, Chuyu's matter is just a small matter.

If Wei and Song go into war again, what will happen to the citizens?!

You usually are a very sensible person. How come you've become this irrational?

Let go!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Xueyun, what really has possessed you that you don't even care about decorum anymore?

Your Highness, I've already been enduring for so long, so long!

Didn't you tell me that you will treasure and take care of me well?

But how come you're caring for Liu Chuyu?! Why?!

Ma Xueyun!

Even if you married me just to get father's support,

you still promised to give me

enough respect and make me live happily.

But now, just for Liu Chuyu,

you've forgotten all your promises.

Your Highness, you lied to me! You lied to me!

- Bixi! - Your Highness.

Immediately assist your Mistress back to her room.

If she continues to make a scene like this, I'll lock her up!

Mistress, let go already.
