The first 200 lines.
When Crown Prince left, he ordered Father to unchain you.
I heard that Crown Prince asked you a question.
It even left Father terrified.
How did you answer him?
I didn't answer.
Although Muyun Sheng said that I always act as my temperament wills
and I never hesitate...
he still got it wrong in the end.
I don't have an answer to that question.
I've never seriously thought that I'd have to answer such a question.
Your best friend...
If he suddenly becomes evil one day...
what will you do?
What happened next?
Next?
Muyun Sheng is Muyun Sheng indeed.
There won't be another person like him in the world ever again.
He drove out Father and Yu Xin Ji.
He then said a few words to me.
What did he say to you?
He asked me to carry out some tasks at certain moments in the future.
As for the tasks...
I can't let you know.
However...
What I can tell you is that...
He is a king.
He is a real king.
Will you do as he asked of you?
You've also just asked a question that I can't answer yet.
I'll know the answer by then.
Should the day come
grab on to your Bone Chiller and stab me with it.
Kill me and stop me from disappointing everyone.
That is saving me.
Your Highness.
It seems that His Majesty still misses Yin Rong?
You're also here to mock me?
No, I'm here to bring you a gift.
What gift is that?
Time.
I've been busy handling this matter for days
and managed to bribe quite a few connections.
I can only give you an hour.
Dress down tomorrow.
I'll take you out of the palace.
I can't leave the palace.
Unless you don't want to.
I haven't said if I want what you have to offer.
I think...
you will definitely want it.
Thank you, gentlemen.
He's been kept in captivity for a very long time.
Anyone would have found it unbearable.
You must stay cautious.
Don't forget this.
You only have an hour.
He Ge...
Mother has come to see you.
Mother...
You're here?
You've lost weight...
You've lost weight.
I'm all right.
I'm doing very well.
Do rise.
My subjects...
Do rise.
We're running tight on time.
We should hurry.
Visiting a sinned subject in captivity without permission...
Should anyone learn of this matter
we could be exiled for committing a felony.
I do know that.
What is it that you want?
What is it that I want?
I've also been thinking...
What exactly is it that I want?
On my way here, I've figured it out.
You riding in the carriage, and me walking alongside you.
Together, we head toward the same destination.
That is what I want.
It's even a good bargain.
I also get a return journey.
It's as simple as that?
It is as simple as that.
Why would someone like you act so foolishly?
I've always been smart.
I won't deny it.
As I reflect on the first half of my lifetime
I've always been busy.
Only the foolish matters left an impression on me.
Foolishness...
It reminds me of youth.
We should get going.
Could you be foolish one last time?
How so?
Ask His Majesty to release He Ge.
All your life, you've always given me a hard time.
Don't you like me?
If you like someone, should you do more for her?
Not to mention that...
I even gave you a return journey.
Fine.
After the family banquet...
I shall do as you so wish.
Prince De.
The Red Sleeve Scent you asked for.
This urn is aged and ready.
Leave it.
There's another batch that will be ready in a few days.
Prince De, you asked for it so urgently. What is it for?
I have to make the best of my time.
Father is heading into the palace for the banquet in a few days.
The wine will be brought in to be drunk.
It's for those in the palace?
This wine is delicate and soft.
It has a floral scent.
Prince Sheng might like it.
You do still think of him?
This wine is prepared for him.
He is now an heir apparent.
Do you regret having left him?
I served him for seven or eight years.
Then I suddenly left.
It's a lie if I say that I don't think of him.
But to say that I regretted it...
I never did.
I...
I'm happier when I am at Prince De's side.
You're dismissed.
Godfather!
What is it?
My father wants us to fill the wine with magical power.
The kind that drives people crazy right after consuming it.
Do you know any?
Yes.
Who is it intended for?
Muyun Sheng.
Why would he want him to go crazy?
I don't know why either.
My father simply can't stand that he's the crown prince.
You mustn't do so.
Have you forgotten about our great ambition?
I'm in a real dilemma being caught between two fathers.
It's just that my father keeps urging me.
He also wants someone to try it in advance to see the effect.
Godfather, why don't you add in the magical power first?
I will have a way to ensure Muyun Sheng's safety.
Tell me about it.
If you need to discuss any important matters
come over here.
These are all our people.
I'll trouble Arch Prince Ye, then.
Prince Han.
Yu Xin Ji.
You must also be wondering why I would have anything
to do with Arch Prince Ye when everyone knows of his ambition?
Your Highness, you must have your reasons.
It's just that I'm too slow.
I fail to understand.
Do lives matter more...
or one's reputation?
I will always follow the lead of Your Highness.
The banquet will soon be held.
Is everything ready?
Offering my service to Your Highness, I need not hesitate.
However, I beseech Your Highness to leave it to me when the time comes.
You just have to protect my father.
My own younger brother...
Leave him to me.
Who would have known?
It still has to come to hurting one another in the family.
Sheng has always been clever.
I shall always feel guilty for hurting him.
Your Highness only came to such a decision for the people
after much consideration.
Everyone will surely be in awe of Your Highness.
If I were born on the prairie...
there would be vast sky and lands before my eyes.
I would not be thinking all about personal gains and worldly affairs.
I'll be honest with you.
Since coming to this decision, I haven't been able to sleep for months.
My hair even turned gray.
Your Highness must have had such a hard time.
However, I still can't understand one matter
and would like to ask Your Highness.
How would Your Highness know for sure that
Prince Sheng's demons will act up at the banquet?
He needs only to drink that wine.
The moon will soon be full.
What a beautiful sight it'd be
if a reunited family could gaze upon the full moon.
As for the royal family, there's even more entertainment.
The wine...
It's ready?
I've tested it on someone.
Insanely drunk and obsessively crazy.
He could only be stopped by killing him.
It's all due to Father's eloquence that
one-track minded Muyun Han was convinced to stir up trouble.
