Princess Silver (白发)

" Princess Silver "

Episode 5

Thank you. Thank you for saving my life.

What do we do with this lady?

Bring her to the inn.

Yes.

Get a doctor.

Yes.

Brother!

Brother!

Don't touch me!

Brother.

I think you can tolerate the touch of a woman now.

You and the mistress of Moon Embrace...

were so intimate and holding each other's hands.

I am not sure either.

Brother, in order to prove if you can let a lady touch you...

A handsome reward awaits after it's done.

Mother!

Get out!

Brother? Are you all right? Calm down.

You said everything is set.

How did it fail?

Your Highness, I received news.

Prince Li was ambushed at the Moon Embrace Teahouse.

Is this somehow connected to Your Highness?

You told His Highness about this foul plan?

Did you learn nothing from the last mistake?

How could you be so reckless?

If Prince Li can be so easily killed,

he would have been dead long ago.

Minister, do not blame Wen Jie for this.

Wen Jie does have a point.

Zong Zheng Wu You is ambitious and that is known by all.

If we hadn't come prepared...

and got rid of those related to the rank-selling case,

I am afraid...

we would have been put on trial for this case.

Which is why...

Zong Zheng Wu You...

must be eliminated.

Father, rest assured,

the assassination attempt may have failed,

but the Creed of Vengeance acts in secrecy.

Everything will be fine.

The Creed of Vengeance?

It's an organization that came to rise in recent years.

It has many capable assassins under its employment.

They are hired to get rid of trouble and gather information.

They do their job in a subtle way.

Even if something went wrong,

-we will not be exposed. -So,

you told His Highness about the Creed and kept me in the dark?

Don't you understand? Whether we failed or not,

if this information reaches His Majesty,

he will suspect this is the Crown Prince's doing.

As long as we have no evidence,

the Crown Prince will be in danger all the time.

What if we do have the evidence?

Wen Jie, get it done now.

Seal off Moon Embrace, arrest them and gather evidence.

Yes.

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

I am sorry.

I should have thought about the consequences.

I shouldn't have taken the risk to test you.

I am sorry, Brother.

Brother.

You were ambushed by assassins at the teahouse.

I am sure you know who planned it.

Other than the Crown Prince and his ilk,

no one would try so hard to have you killed.

They were in hiding for years.

They are finally making a move.

Brother, what do we do next?

The killers are no ordinary thugs.

Should we send our men to Moon Embrace to investigate...

and see if there is any clue?

Don't bother.

The teahouse is nothing but emptied.

We won't find anything there.

You should get a good night sleep instead.

Perhaps tomorrow...

something big might happen.

Tomorrow?

That was nice.

You are awake.

I was attacked by thugs last night.

Fortunately, you saved me.

I am deeply grateful.

It's no big deal. You are welcome.

I got you a doctor.

He read your pulse.

The wounds are dressed.

But you did suffer from some inner injury.

You need a couple of days to heal.

Are you feeling better now?

I am fine now. Thank you for your concern.

If it's inconvenient in any way,

I apologize in advance.

You passed out back there.

I brought you here without your permission.

I hope you are not offended.

You saved my life. I should be grateful.

I listened to the melody you were playing.

It's rather unique.

Judging by your tone,

do you play instrument yourself?

Only on paper.

Only on paper?

So, what do you think about this song?

The melody...

is far-reaching and tranquil.

It's actually a lighter tone on the outside.

But it carries a certain sorrow with it.

You could tell there were sorrow...

just by listening to the tranquility behind the tunes?

It seems like you know a lot more than you claim to be.

I named this song 'The Past'.

I wrote this song seven years ago.

You look to be in your early twenties.

You were just a teenager seven years ago.

But you could already feel such degree of sorrow?

I was simply asking.

I mean no disrespect.

You have my thanks for saving my life.

I will never forget your kindness.

I shall repay you one day when I have the chance.

I have been here long enough. I should be on my way now.

I ordered the cook to prepare breakfast for you.

My lady,

stay for breakfast before leaving.

I appreciate the offer.

I have some urgent matters to see to.

I wish to go home.

In that case, I shall not make you stay.

Guards.

Yes, Master.

See this lady off for me.

Yes.

Thank you, sir. So long.

How are you lately, Father?

Much better.

Good, I am glad to hear that.

Thank you for the concern.

Have a seat.

Slowly.

Your Highness, this way.

His Highness is here?

This way.

-Your Highness. - Prince Li and Prince Chen.

At ease.

I heard you are ill, so I came to pay a visit.

Thank you for the concern.

Your Highness has never been interested in politics.

You avoided meeting with all the other officers.

Yet, Your Highness still cares about my well-being.

I am grateful for it.

I was under your teachings for years.

I know you are a man with knowledge and honour.

I can't compare you with those men.

I simply taught you how to read and write.

It was my duty as your teacher.

I can never replace Chief Minister Qin.

I understand. Sir Qin holds a place in your heart...

as your true mentor.

Teacher, that is not entirely true.

My brother has a lot of respect for you.

When he learned that you are ill,

he came here to visit you.

Seeing that you are still in good spirit, you seem to be fine.

That is a relief for us students.

I am old.

Sickness is nothing unusual for me.

Your Highness need not be worried about me.

I haven't been to the Imperial Court for days.

But I did hear about the marriage you turned down.

Your Highness refused to marry Princess Rong Le.

What is your plan for the future?

I have no plan in particular.

I simply refuse to become a pawn for the game of power.

Your Highness hold onto your belief and follow your heart,

that is truly respectable.

But Your Highness is still young.

You need not be burdened by the past.

Spring is here and the blossoms are blooming.

Maybe Your Highness can talk a stroll outside.

Indeed. The scenery at Clearwater River is beautiful.

It's the best time to enjoy some songs and wine.

Well, why not take Ya Li with you?

She is the only child I have.

Her mother passed away while she was young.

She is not a very outgoing girl.

Great, can I tag along?

I love to see the scenery.

-Your Highness. -What is it?

General Fu returned victorious from the battle.

Your Highness is summoned by the Emperor.
