Untouchable Lovers (凤囚凰)

Untouchable Lovers

Episode 45

A buttterfly liking a flower is just normal. Even if a normal person will notice it,

he will never think that it's a living thing.

That's right. This butterfly's body form is smaller than a normal butterfly.

After sucking an digesting the blood, they return to being as small as a moth,

then return to the wall again.

Your Highness...what's wrong?

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, are you alright?

Your Highness, where do you feel unwell?

Hurry and call for an imperial physician!

Damn you!

I don't know! I didn't do anything, Your Highness the Empress Dowager!

Other than you, who else?!

How can I dare touch a blood sucking thing like that, Your Highness the Empress Dowager?!

Men! Drag him out!

I am innocent!

Your Highness the Empress Dowager!

It's you. All these is your evil scheme!

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, what are you saying?

Feifeng General, it was you who suggest to make an offering.

It was also you who broke the puzzle about the butterflies.

And now, a dead butterfly appeared in Her Highness the Empress Dowager's tea cup.

Other than you, who else had the chance to play such a trick?

Blood sucking butterflies will not appear in the palace for no reason at all.

There must be someone who breeding them. A person like that

must stay inside Liubei Palace for a long time to conceal this secret.

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, don't forget.

I have always been outside mobilizing the army. I don't have the time or chance to do that.

That's why, there is only one person who had the chance to breed these

blood sucking butterflies.

Mute servant, why did you breed these butterflies?

General Huo, she can't speak nor write.

How will she answer you then?

She's crazy like those butterflies!

Kill her! Hurry and kill her!

Give her a brush!

But she doesn't have any fingers.

Give it to her!

What are each of you doing? She's a crazy killer.

She should be executed immediately! You also instead want her to talk?!

I also want to know what she would say.

Your Majesty, this crazy woman killed 22 people.

If she dies, maybe these bizarre butterflies will disappear too.

There won't be another person dying in the palace.

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, even a prisoner sentenced to death is given a chance to defend himself.

Why are you being this agitated?

She's done writing.

Your Majesty.

Royal Mother...

Is this true?

Your Majesty, this is slander.

Furen Yue clearly died of sickness. What does that got to do with me?

Someone wants to slander me

and set up such a huge scam.

All these are just an evil scheme.

This mute servant used to be a palace maid of Furen Yue.

She previously committed a crime of stealing.

I also had no choice but to cut off her finger and tongue.

But that has nothing to do with Furen Yue's death.

Really?

Of course!

Why are you making false charges against me?

Who ordered you? Say it.

What are you all saying? What does this mean?

Prince Regent's Wife,

what the mute servant meant is it was Empress Dowager Feng who killed Furen Yue.

Just to conceal her deed, she made up excuses and killed all of Furen Yue's

trusted aides one by one.

Mute servant then bred blood sucking butterflies here

to take revenge for Furen Yue.

Even if she's unable to do so,

she could still create a fake image of Furen Yue dying in a wronged manner,

hence, her soul couldn't rest in peace to attract His Majesty's attention,

so that she can bring justice to Furen Yue's death.

Empress Dowager killed all her trusted aides?

But isn't she still alive?

The crime she committed then should have been punishable by death.

It is exactly because the former emperor pardoned her, that's why, she was allowed to live.

Royal Mother, this—

Your Majesty, how could you believe the words of a palace servant?

Let me ask you, you say that I'm a killer. Where's your evidence?

Everyone else have died. Mute servant is the only witness.

Empress Dowager cut off her tongue. How then will she able to defend herself?

I heard that when Her Highness the Empress Dowager learned that mute servant's

tongue was able to regrow by half,

she sent someone to cut it off again.

A cruel method like that will really make others feel despair.

But even if that's the case,

mute servant still didn't give up hope.

She'd rather associate with these monsters and look for a chance to seek revenge.

Such extraordinary painstaking effort, how could it be just slander?

Your Majesty, Her Highness the Empress Dowager was unable to seal off

everyone's tongue. There has always been rumors spreading about Liubei Palace.

It's as if the souls here are expressing their grievances. They want you to give them justice and seek vengeance for them, Your Majesty!

Hongxiu.

You and this mute servant has colluded from the start.

Setting up this trap to false accuse me?

It's not like that Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

If you're really not guilty, why then did you sent

20 people before to investigate this place?

Also, you clearly know that the Liubei Palace is Furen Yue's old dwelling,

why did you still insist to seal it off?

You had always shown grace in both appearances and actions.

Why then did you get frightened and lost your composure just for one cup of tea?

It was just a moment of neglect.

No. It was because you killed Furen Yue,

that's why, you felt guilty.

That's why, you are unable to face the Liubei Palace, isn't it?

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, you have a beautiful face,

but you have such a frightening heart.

You are the scariest and most frightening woman I've seen in this world!

Unruly!

I'm unruly?

Do you know that since I entered the palace,

I've also heard of these rumors about Furen Yue?

For these past days, these rumors had frequently questioned my conscience.

Now...the crimes of Her Highness the Emrpess Dowager...

who in the palace doesn't know of it?

Your Majesty, do you still remember how the past emperor died?

Hongxiu, what does this got to do with the past emperor?

Did the past emperor guess the truth through the mute servant?

That's right. Everyone knew the truth,

but hid it from His Majesty. That time, Her Highness the Empress Dowager was already fully fledged (very powerful)

and untouchable.

It was because he got so mad that he got sick and bedridden.

He didn't die of any illness but was angered to death.

Your Majesty...

She was the mastermind behind all these tragedies!

Are you still going to tolerate her actions?!

Royal Mother, are all these true?

Why did you do it?

Your Majesty, just for you, I meticulously planned and racked my brain.

But today, you actually are questioning me just because of some palace rumors and these two laughable people?!

I am your royal mother. It was me who raised you.

Is this how you treat your royal mother?

Also, Rong Zhi. They are openly accusing your sister right now.

Are you just going to listen like that?!

Empress Dowager, just for power,

you didn't mind interfering with my marriage and messing up my life.

Now that things have come to this, you remembered that I'm your younger brother?

You hope that I'll charge through the enemy lines in your behalf. When you made that request,

didn't you even feel a bit guilty?

The day before Ma Xueyun died, did you see her?

Rong Zhi, what are you saying?

I also didn't want to believe it.

But afterwards, Ma Xueyun's death made me develop doubts.

After sending people to investigate it, I found out that Empress Dowager

had secretly sowed dissension in the relationship between Ma Xueyun and Chuyu.

You let their conflicts worsened

until the point that it couldn't be redeemed anymore.

My Mistress' body is inherently weak and delicate. Even if you're angry,

you shouldn't vent it on her.

With her body being this weak, how could she endure it?

Princess Consort, Concubine has always wanted to get along with you. She never had any intentions of competing for favors with you.

But you actually dared to use the lipstick to harm her?!

You keep saying that I harmed her.

What really is this about? I want to look at it.

Mistress has been harmed successively. May Princess Consort be benevolent

and stop causing trouble.

I won't hurt her. Can't I just ask a few words?

No. I will not let you hurt Mistress again.

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, are all these true?

- I didn't. - If there's one, then there's two.

Presently, you're also using the same method on Huo Xuan and Chuyu.

You want me to serve you,

and you're doing your best to restrain my power.

You're afraid that I'll get the Huo Army and Liu Song to my side.

Just to guard against me, you have spent so much effort.

Royal Mother, you killed Furen Yue

and angered Royal Father to his death.

You couldn't even trust your own younger brother

and did all possible means to control him.

The warm and benevolent appearance that you've

always shown me...

are all those just a false front?

No. Your Majesty.

Hong'er, I didn't.

I'm being falsely accused.

Rong Zhi, even Rong Zhi has been deceived.

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, I strain my heart and mind just for Wei,

yet you just played me in the palm of your hands.

Until now, you're still defending yourself.

You really are making me feel disappointed.

Your Majesty, please give justice to the

people who have died.

Now that there are both a witness and material evidence,

I also have no way to defend you.

Especially how Royal Father have showed you vast kindness as deep as the sea,

yet you just angered him to death like that.

I already am unable to understand your doings.

Unable to understand?

Hong'er, don't you always say that I'm heartless?

But everything that I've done were for you!

Furen Yue before have become arrogant for being highly favored and numerously tried to frame me.

If not because I thought of a way to eliminate her, will you be the emperor now?

As for others, the loser becomes the bandit,

the victor becomes the king. I don't need to repent on anything.

As for Rong Zhi, he and I are indeed siblings.

But once Prince Kang dies, the power of Prince Regent will inflate excessively.
