Unchained Love (Floating on the Edge / Fu Tu Tower / 浮图缘)

It's wrong!

It's all wrong!

That's not how you should be acting!

That...

That eunuch.

Yes, yes, you...

Come here.

Come on.

It's okay. Kneel down.

Consort Duan.

Are you enjoying this show?

I had it arranged specially for you.

You're not?

If you're not enjoying it,

then they should be punished.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, no!

So in this play,

you two are the main characters after all!

Sharing the same fates, and being together with each other.

What about me then?

Who am I?

What am I?

I...

am a eunuch.

This is...

Consort Duan has moved into Deer's Reed Residence for too long.

It's time to return to the palace.

All of you carry on singing.

But Consort Duan can't die.

Chief Xiao,

I’m under orders to arrest you.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Zhaoding Bureau.

Arresting Chief Xiao...

who gave you the authority to?

I apologize.

Chief Xiao, please cooperate with us.

I’ll go with you.

Under His Majesty's orders,

from now on,

I, Baozhu, will take care of you.

No matter where Your Highness goes,

I'm not allowed to leave your side.

Don't worry and just stay in the palace.

If there is nothing important,

don’t go around outside.

I heard Chief Xiao went against His Majesty,

and was thrown into prison by His Majesty.

Even his residence was raided.

You blind wenches,

leave right now!

Your Highness.

His Majesty has ordered that

you are not allowed to leave Yongze Palace.

Your Highness!

You can't go in, Your Highness.

Your Majesty!

Your Highness!

You can't go in, Your Highness.

Leave us.

Bu Yinge? Why are you here?

Didn't you get imprisoned because of

the Prince of Nanyuan?

Well, His Majesty loves me so much that

even if I committed a serious crime,

he still wants to keep me in the palace.

He favors me more and more each day,

and sleeps with me every night.

He sleeps with you every night?

Then I guess I have to congratulate you

for rising up the ranks again.

Your Majesty, Yinlou wishes to see you.

Don't waste your energy.

His Majesty won't see you.

He’s not in Shangqiong Palace.

You can't leave.

What do you want now?

Bu Yinlou,

what's there for you to be proud about?

Who are you to look down on me?

Do you think I want to

live on shamelessly like this?

I ended up like this because of you.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have been married off to West Shu.

I wouldn't have been given to

His Majesty like a plaything

just because I look somewhat similar

to you.

And I wouldn't have ended up losing at the last moment

and having my family torn apart.

Now you ask me what I want?

If you had

married in my place back then,

or died in the imperial mausoleum,

none of this would have happened.

I would still have been

the precious legitimate daughter of the Bu Residence,

and I would still have my father and mother

who dote on me and love me.

I would have had a noble life.

It's all because of you.

Give me back my life!

Bu Yinge.

You don't think you'll be happy

as long as I'm not happy?

Don't be silly.

I was never the one

who hurt you.

Father was the one who gave up on you and used you.

The ones who bullied you and humiliated you

are the Prince of Nanyuan

and Murong Gaogong.

You dare not

confront the real culprits and get even with them,

but instead you're making things difficult for me.

Don't you think

you're a joke?

You're the one who's a joke.

You abandoned His Majesty

just so you could cosy up with a lowly servant?

You chose to be lowly,

and ruined everything.

If you're willing to be

a plaything that is used by others,

then that's your business.

I'm following my own desires

to love the person I want to love,

to go on the path I want to go on,

and do what I want to do.

If we compare with each other,

which one of us is the one choosing to be lowly?

You-

Was this what His Majesty ordered people to do to you

when you were locked in the temporary palace in Weichang?

After he treated you like this,

do you really still believe

he's keeping you around

because he loves you?

He dotes on me, loves me, and can't leave me.

Otherwise,

he wouldn't want to keep me

at the expense of offending everybody.

Bu Yinge, stop being silly.

Even if you keep on giving in to those

who hurt you and insulted you,

you still won't recover your dignity.

You'll only sink deeper and deeper.

and lose everything in the end.

While it's still not too late,

ask to leave the palace now.

Why should I leave the palace?

Are you jealous that I can make a comeback?

I'll be honest with you.

I will be the empress soon.

I will become the most respected

woman in Daye.

Bu Yinge.

You're still dreaming aren't you?

Her Highness is here too.

Bu Yinge, receive the decree.

Summoning Bu Yinge

to the Hall of Imperial Supremacy immediately.

Yes.

Your Highness.

I was just about to

go to Yongze Palace to invite you too.

Please go with us then.

I'll let you see for yourself

if I'm telling the truth.

Bu Yinge is a rebel's concubine!

She can't be the empress!

Please withdraw your order.

Please withdraw your order.

Bu Yinge.

Come here.

This bunch of people just don't understand.

I said I would make you the Empress.

They all opposed it.

They're crying and making a scene as if their father died.

What do you think I should do?

I'll heed whatever Your Majesty says.

Then you need to

do your part to contribute.

Perform a dance in the palace,

and show them

the overflowing charms of my future empress,

to see if you're worthy of being

called the mother of the nation.

Yes.

So ridiculous.

How inappropriate!

What is this?

How could this be?

This is ridiculous.

Yes.

Are you kidding me?

How utterly embarrassing!

Indeed.
