Gambler heiress transmigrates as sickly daughter, heals herself, trains prince, and rules empire.

What kind of novel is this?! You lost six ones ! There's no smaller bet than six ones! Liu Ying, you 're definitely going to lose this time! Miss Liu Ying, it's your turn! As expected of the daughter of the God of Gamblers! Miss Liu Ying, I accept my loss! If you win, I'll kill you ! It's all your fault! You ruined my life, tore my wife and children apart! I'll kill you! Where am I? Am I not Tang Liu Ying? I've heard you've been weak and sickly since childhood, timid as a mouse. Seeing you today, it really is Tang Liu Ying! Could it be that you're the useless heir of the Ning Prince's mansion, unable to write or fight? Lu Zhaoye, don't think you can humiliate me to my face just because you're my wife! I 'm doomed ! I've transmigrated into the novel I just started reading! The book says that General Tang favored his concubine and ruined his wife . The original owner, a sickly daughter forced to drink medicine to prolong her life, was forced to marry Lu Zhaoye, the most popular young lady in the capital , to escape the Tang family. However, she was betrayed by her half-sister Tang Ruyi and Lu Mingyu, the adopted son of the Prince's mansion, resulting in the destruction of her family, her execution , and public display of her head . Lu Mingyu used that money to curry favor with the Crown Prince and framed Lu Zhaoye for treason , thus putting us, this cannon fodder couple, on public display. It 's all because of this good-for-nothing, he was scared silly by the young master! Ouch, ouch, ouch! You 're like a dog ! No, no, I must pull Lu Zhaoye onto the right path to change our fate and survive. Husband, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself just now and wanted to leave a mark on you. You know I've been frail and sickly since childhood, and no one in the capital wants to marry me. Not only do you not mind, but you even made yourself look ugly to amuse me. Making yourself ugly was just to scare you. She's so happy , you shouldn't let her know. Alright, alright, let me help you up. This woman is so soft and boneless, I'm afraid I'll crush her . Oh, right, husband , we haven't drunk our nuptial wine yet . Wait, my brother is waiting for me at the gambling den. I have to go . You can't go to the gambling den . You can't go to the gambling den. It turns out a woman's lips are even softer. Husband, you're so impatient! I… I didn't … I'm not you. Don't talk nonsense. Husband, if you don't go to the gambling den today, we can take our time on our wedding night. No, no… No, no! If I break my promise today, who will play with me in the future? Go to sleep first, my husband. If you go to the gambling den, you will surely be bankrupt within three days , then sell the ancestral home, make your parents sick, and your whole family will be punished. Stop, stop, stop! I haven't even gone yet , and you're already cursing me like this! Aren't you angry? I'm telling the truth. The original owner's body is really weak. You, with your sickly nature , still want to stop me? Miss , why waste your energy on a mere mortal ? Lu Zhaoye isn't a bad person by nature. I remember he could recite military strategy backwards when he was three years old . I don't know when he became this spoiled brat. Zhu'er , quickly go and invite the imperial physician. Miss , the young master and your half-sister are at the Qianjin Gambling Den. We won 50,000 taels of gold playing Pai Gow together . Keep going, Miss! Something bad has happened! The young master has lost 100,000 taels today! Don't panic! Keep going, Miss! Something's wrong! The young master has lost 500,000 taels in a row and is going to the prince to demand the house deed. The time is ripe! Pearl, come with me to the front hall! It was Mingyu who didn't stop you! Young master , if you want to hit me, then hit me! It's not your fault! It must be this wretched child who's being willful and reckless . It 's me who does things alone, and I'll take responsibility for my actions . Still being stubborn, huh? Watch me beat you up! This is the one who caused the prince's family to be ruined! Lu Mingyu, you're so weak, you'd fall over in a gust of wind! What kind of husband is this? A wife is my heaven! My husband is my heaven! If the heaven collapses, how can Liu Ying… Even my parents despise me, this is the first time someone has treated me so kindly . You've come at the perfect time, Miss Tang ! You are also a lady from a military family, yet you indulge your husband's gambling. It's your dereliction of duty, you should be punished along with him. This Lu Zhaoye is at least a man who knows how to protect his wife, you can't hit him! Your Highness, look, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have already consummated their marriage. This boy is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun , but he never seeks out women. People outside say you're impotent in that area. It seems our Zhao'er is going to be a father! Your Highness , I think we should take out the land deed to pay off his debts. Everything should be done with the son's help. The successor is important. This Princess Ning is kind-hearted. It seems the novel didn't mention her fate on the day the Ning Prince's mansion was destroyed. It's all my fault for skimming and missing so many details. But the mansion is the foundation of the Lu family; it can pay off debts. I think it's better to use the dowry Miss Tang brought. Shut up ! This is a meeting of the masters; you have no right to speak. Lu Mingyu, as expected, has already joined forces with his sister and is after my dowry. Liu Ying is willing to offer up all ten loads of dowry left to me by my mother to pay off her husband's debts. Absolutely not! A woman's dowry cannot be touched casually. Mother really cares about her dowry. I can't let her dowry be lost. I don't want a grown man like me spending a woman's money. How embarrassing to get married! Husband , why are you being so formal with me? My elder sister was involved too. She 's never gotten along with me. Could it be that she deliberately set this up ? It's all my fault. I've dragged you into this . Husband , why don't I plead with my elder sister on your behalf? How can anyone set up a trap for me? Her crying makes my heart ache. What is love in this world ? It seems my son has found true love. Don't cry, wipe your tears. Husband, are you not taking me with you because you think I'm useless? I'm afraid your health can't take it. Alright, let's go. With you by my side, my health is much better. Mother, how many times have I told you not to call me mother? You're just my distant cousin. "I only adopted you into the Prince's mansion to accompany the heir in his studies. If others knew I was pregnant with you before I entered the mansion, we would both be doomed. Princess Mingyu, you know you were wrong. What did you do? That sickly girl brought ten loads of dowry with her. I could have taken them all and used them for my own purposes. Why did you go through all that trouble and make her use the dowry to pay off her debts? Today you saw it too. Even though the Prince of Ning married you as his second wife, you haven't given birth to a single child. He only has eyes for his precious son. Lu Zhaoye, you think you can easily embezzle the dowry? What do you plan to do? I will join forces with that sickly girl's sister to set up another scheme. At that time, I will completely destroy Lu Zhaoye and take over the entire Prince of Ning's mansion. Miss , please drink some ginseng tea to calm down. If you can't take it, go back. It's okay. Husband , I'll go with you to any place you like. What can you do with a spendthrift like that? Drink the northwest." "Fengba, this consumptive devil must have been eating too much medicine residue. Take those three 'pickled' words back, what's wrong with that? Calling you a spendthrift is beneath you? I'm talking about a sick devil. Don't let me hear it a second time. You sickly brat dare to come to the gambling den? If you 're scared out of your wits , no one will clean up your mess . Show some respect to the Crown Princess. This scoundrel deserves an Oscar for his acting skills. The Thousand Gold Gambling Den only welcomes players who can throw money around. You're a drug addict , how do you know how to play Pai Gow? As a gambling god, Thousand Gold Gambling Den knows the tricks of the trade better than anyone. Playing cards is all about luck, what if I get lucky? Wait, you're not here to plead with your sister, you 're planning to win back your losses by luck? That's ridiculous. Come on, come on, husband, you're already here. I want to learn what you like , but it's not something worth learning. It's alright, husband. Ruyi is my own sister, she will definitely…" Let me, Your Highness, see how they play this game. If I catch them, I'll teach them a lesson. Sister Zhu'er , is this enough? It's barely enough. You can gamble a few rounds. Then I'll play a few rounds with you, Your Highness. Do you want to join me? Your Highness's luck hasn't been good lately , so I'll play for you to avoid getting whipped at home. Let me see how you make Lu Zhaoye lose 500,000 taels of silver overnight. Sister , do you need me to teach you how to play? Husband, tell me how to play. I'll only tell you once. If you don't understand, come home with me. Small Pai Gow is simple: everyone gets two cards. A pair is the highest. Heaven beats Earth, Earth beats Human. If there's no pair, you compare the sum of the two cards. Nine beats Eight, Eight beats Seven, and so on. One round determines the winner. Let's start. Did you understand? You 'll get the hang of it as you play. "Well, sister is right. Look at your cards first. I'm betting 100 , but that's a thousand taels of silver. You're just playing around without even looking at your cards. Is that so? I knew you didn't understand. It's alright, husband. Isn't this a game of luck? I've been weak and sickly since I was little . My birth mother was forced away when I was still young , and now I'm being forced into marriage . I've had so many bad years. It's time for me to turn things around. It's rare to start a game with you , sister. I'll play one , and I'll play one too . Let's open the cards. Congratulations, sister! You won! I won! Your luck is incredible. You must have stolen the God of Wealth's belt. It's so simple! Husband, I told you I was lucky. Keep going ! You won again! You won again! Wow, Miss! You've won back a lot of the fortune the young master lost! This is fun! This is fun! Maybe we should stop now. Your health is important. Let's go home and rest. Husband, don't spoil the fun ! Yes, the young master is right. We're here to pay off our debts. Don't get too caught up in this! I'm lucky now!" Maybe you can win it all back and then you won't have to pay it back. You still want to win it back? You're dreaming! Since that's the case, let's strike while the iron is hot and increase the chips from 100 to 1000, with no upper limit . No , why did I start having terrible luck yesterday after I didn't have an upper limit ? You don't understand Pai Gow , so you can't play this ? Then how come you lost everything? Take advantage of my good luck now and win all your money back. This little cutie and sick girl, well then I'll make you spit out your dowry too. The fish has taken the bait. I thought you were so capable, but you're just a lowlife. Lei Feiyan's red mark is so obvious , only a fool like Lu Zhaoye can't see it. I'm afraid there's a switcheroo under the table . One table, five people, four ghosts. " Carrying the sedan chair is so fast, it's no wonder Lu Zhaoye's family is ruined. Sister, you lost! All the chips I won and the gold ingots I brought are gone. I told you not to raise the stakes, my wife, stop now! Yes, Princess Consort , stop now! The gold ingots you brought aren't enough either , so let's just forget it. If you can't afford to play, don't play. Who says I can't afford to play ? Zhu'er, go back and get the silver. Sister, let's play first. My husband is the Prince, I can't renege on my debt, can I?" " Why is she acting like a different person here? Gambling really harms people. My wife, I was wrong, I beg you, I'll never gamble again. I believe my little cutie's words, no way! Sister, a husband follows his wife , why don't you listen to my brother-in-law? Yes, you should listen to the Prince!" These two… This little cutie almost had his cunning written all over his face, yet he didn't notice . Let's ignore him and continue. It seems this sickly fellow is really into it. Sister, it's my turn to shuffle the cards now, right? What is she doing? Sorry everyone, I'm clumsy . I have a feeling this sickly fellow is setting up a scheme. Sister, hurry up! You 're pretending to know what you're doing. What are you doing? If you can't shuffle, I'll do it. Husband , I can't breathe! What are you yelling about? Miss Tang, don't be angry . Our young master's wife is new to dominoes and her skills are clumsy . Besides, she's weak and sickly . What if she faints from fright? That would be even worse! Husband, I just saw them… Shuffling the cards is so simple , why do my hands shake as soon as I wash them? My wife's health is more important , maybe we shouldn't gamble anymore. If the house deed isn't enough to cover the cost, I 'll have to sell my ivory clam jar, sandalwood birdcage, and even my jade general parrot. My heart aches so much , I only realize how painful it is now. I quit gambling too late, my money hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you put up your chips first? Five thousand, sister, you don't even look at your cards? Well , I won't either. Since that's the case , how about we increase the chips a bit more? My wife, what are you going to do now? Sister, tell me, in this round, we're not looking at our cards, blindfolded, I'll bet ten miles of red bridal procession on you, sister, do you dare to challenge me? I'll bet ten miles of red bridal procession on you, sister, do you dare to challenge me? Tang Liu Ying, are you crazy? If she gambles away all her dowry, how will she maintain her position in the Prince Ning's mansion? Even though she's sickly , she married me, so she 's my wife. Don't forget, the young master lost 500,000 taels last night and hasn't paid it all off yet. Now you're using this dowry to fill this hole. If you lose it all, you'll have nothing left. Even if you fill the hole, you 'll still go back to starving. What if you win back your losses? Are you trying to kill yourself? Your addiction is acting up ! Sister , are you unable to keep up? Fold your hand, I'll play with you, I'm sure to win . I'm not playing anymore. I'm playing to the end, I'm not playing anymore. Sister, are you afraid of losing all your chips? It's not enough! Someone come and bring all the land deeds my mother gave me to exchange for chips. Anyway, if we win, we can redeem them all later. It's just this little bit of Keling's assets. She really is a concubine's daughter, husband . Oh, she's my little cutie . You'll have your day to cry later. But , wife, maybe we should just let it go. Didn't you say I'm your everything? You won't abandon me in the future, right? Husband , we'll say these sweet nothings in private. Sister, if your assets aren't enough, stop. Bring it up! Someone come and bring all the land deeds and farmland my mother has. When the double 12 points are dealt , who can compete? Sister , your ten-bearer dowry hasn't even warmed up yet. "Then you have to return it to me! This is heaven's will to destroy the Ning Prince's Mansion! It's all over ! All the fine houses and beautiful fields are gone! The rich young master and his daughter have turned into a madwoman! Sister , now that things have come to this, you have no choice but to sell your body to pay off the debt. I would rather give my life than let a woman pay off my debt! Young Master, the Ning Prince's Mansion has already lost everything. What will you use to protect her? My lady, go back and close the door . No one can leave until the debt is paid off. Tang Liuying, just admit defeat! As long as you give me the position of the General's Mansion's eldest daughter right now , and make your husband kneel down and bark like a dog, I might be able to waive two percent of the interest. What, you're not convinced? You've lost everything!" " I thought you were a prince. If we let your little lady entertain us gentlemen, maybe we'd be in a good mood and give you a few copper coins to turn things around. I'll cut off two of my fingers and let her go. This foolish husband, if he loses his hand, how will we ever turn things around? It's too late ! It's all my fault. I gamble ten times and lose ten times, I've lost all my money and am now burdened with debt. From the moment I stepped into the gambling den, I was on a path of no return. He finally tasted the bitterness of regret. Okay, as long as your knife doesn't tremble and the blood splatters high enough and the cheers are loud enough, I'll let her go. We haven't even opened the cards yet, what's the rush, everyone? Tang Liuying is about to be ripped off, and you're still pretending to be stupid." Are you kidding me? You want to turn the tables? Unless a bolt of lightning strikes and splits this table, allowing you to draw the Supreme Treasure! The Supreme Treasure ? That's impossible! I 've played cards my whole life and never seen anyone draw it. Let alone draw it, in all my years at the gambling den, no one has even dared to mention it. Miss Tang, are you joking? So if I draw the Supreme Treasure, I win ! Are you kidding me? According to the rules of Pai Gow, once the Supreme Treasure is drawn, all other cards are defeated . However, among these thirty-two cards, there's only one Ding San and one Er Si each. The probability of drawing this is only one in a thousand, one in ten thousand. If I draw it… The Supreme Treasure appears once in a thousand games, and if you… Supreme Treasure , I 'm going to be a watchdog at Prince Ning's mansion tomorrow! You guys are all saying I'm too scared to even open the cards! Open them now, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you! My luck is so good! How could this be ? She actually drew a Ding San! I've never seen one like that in all these years ! I refuse to believe she can draw another Two or Four! This is my wife! Ding San paired with Two or Four , a winning hand! My wife , you've truly shown me the legendary Supreme Treasure! No, impossible ! Absolutely impossible! This Supreme Treasure is a once-in-a-century occurrence! How could you possibly draw that? Why are you hitting me? This isn't a dream! This really is Supreme Treasure! This is the Crown Princess ! Who on earth is she? How could you possibly get the Supreme Treasure card ? Tang Liuying, you cheated ! What does "cheating, husband" mean? Cheating means someone can't play the game and is deliberately trying to smear you, accusing you of cheating . So, you can get the Supreme Treasure card by cheating? Sister, you're so amazing , give me one ! If you get it, I, Tang Liuying, will willingly admit defeat and accept punishment. You say she cheated ? Judging from the way she shuffled the cards just now, she could cheat ? Maybe it's just luck. Sister, I've had bad luck for half my life , it seems my luck has indeed improved. Impossible! Tang Liuying, your luck absolutely cannot have improved. You must have cheated! Tang Ruyi "Can't afford to lose, so you frame my wife? I think you're crying wolf! Losing is losing, sister, all your chips are mine! Guards, carry this stuff ! You dare? You dare challenge me, the young master! This is a casino, we don't tolerate bullying! Who dares to cause trouble at my Qianjin Gambling House ? Who dares to cause trouble at my Qianjin Gambling House? Gambling House Owner Meng Qianjin! Always fair and impartial, never showing favoritism! It really is Meng Qianjin! She's actually here! Looks like something big is about to happen! You're in for a treat today ! We just caught a cheater at this table! Don't be so cruel! Boss Meng, it's her! She hasn't even touched the cards yet, and she 's already drawn the Supreme Treasure!" There must be something fishy going on here. Even after all these years of gambling, I, Supreme Treasure, can't cheat like this. How did she do it? Princess Consort, your luck today is truly astonishing! How about we play another round ? I just randomly picked some chips. What if I lose it all back ? Boss Meng, she's feeling guilty. This little cutie definitely has something going on. If you dare disrespect my wife again, don't blame me for hitting her. Everyone, please calm down. How about this, let's play another round . I'll bet ten times hers . If you win, it's all yours. No, Miss Tang, since you're here, this gambling den can't afford to lose. Do you know what the consequences will be? Dream Princess's back… With the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace, no one dares to mess with me. Such a good thing exists in the world— only winning, never losing, my wife ! Her bet sounds like she's trying to trick you . You've been clever this time, but this is ten times the stake! Hey, Meng Qianjin, you're a man of your word! I, Meng Qianjin , have run this gambling den for so many years, my word is my bond, no problem. Then, Meng Qianjin, please! They all laugh at me for not knowing how to shuffle the cards , so I'll have to trouble you, Boss Meng. I've lost, my husband. It seems all my luck has been used up on drawing the Supreme Treasure. This is Heaven's warning: we lose ten times out of ten, but we never lose if we gamble. My wife , we must never gamble again! You said it ! I swear! If I gamble again, I'll… A horse will inevitably break its leg, a cockfight will inevitably lead to blindness, and going for a walk will inevitably result in encountering a mad dog. Okay, okay, that's quite a curse for Zhiqi. Could it be that she really relied purely on luck ? Oh no , what is this? This looks like my sister's lip rouge! Using lip rouge to mark dominoes and secretly switching cards under the table ! You dare to cheat on my turf? You're asking for trouble ! No, no, no, it wasn't me. I just accidentally bumped into it . You, Tang Ruyi, it really is you crying wolf ! Husband, your heart is treacherous! Gambling is truly harmful! Tell me, who are your accomplices ? Tell me, it's the two of them ! They were sitting together at the time! You say we've played so many games… "The Heaven, Earth, and Heaven cards have never been in our hands. That guy surnamed Lu also has that red thing. You're lying! Zhao Ye and I are like brothers, how could we possibly team up with this woman to cheat him? It seems Miss Tang should bear full responsibility for this cheating! No, no, no, Lu Mingyu , even now you want to stay out of it? My little darling , we're complete strangers , we were just playing a game. How dare you slander me? How dare you hit me ? The Crown Prince , no, the Crown Princess , she 's your half-sister. She wants to sow discord between us. She wants to bring our Ning Prince's Mansion into the inner palace! Lu Zhao Ye, are you going to…" You've been fooled by this drama queen! She wants to arrange a marriage between us within the Ning Prince's mansion? I don't hit women , but I can hit you, Lu Mingyu . We grew up together, and your parents treated you like their own child. The Prince's mansion provides for you in every way, from food and clothing to other necessities . And now you're helping outsiders deceive your own family? Do you have any conscience ? Prince Zhaoye, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please give me another chance. I'll never dare to do it again . Gambling dens have their rules. Old cheats and accomplices are equally guilty. If you want to redeem these hands, you need to pay double the bet. This table's stakes are enormous. If you have to pay double, that's two million taels of gold. Who can afford that? Zhaoye Meng Boss, follow the rules. From now on, there will be no Lu Mingyu in the Lu family. Don't take Zhaoye. You can't treat me like this. If the princess finds out, my mother will never forgive me, since she has always doted on me. My wife , am I being too cruel? Husband, don't think like that . You treat him like a brother, but he treats you like a fat sheep. He wants more than just your money ; he wants you too. I…I …I'll pay…I'll pay! My father is the Grand General of the Cavalry. He has plenty of money. What a troublesome son of a bitch! If I remember correctly, the Crown Princess is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, right? You, a mere concubine's daughter, are the one who is valued. I am the one he loves the most. Tang Liuying has the title of legitimate daughter but lives a worse life than my family's foot-washing girl. Let's go, take Miss Tang to the General's Mansion to collect the fine . I'll also go back to my parents' home. If my sister is punished, I can plead for her. I'll accompany you, my wife. She truly has the heart of a bodhisattva who repays evil with kindness. Parents , please save your daughter! Boss Meng, my daughter is ignorant. Look at this, General Tang, are you treating her like a beggar? No, sir, how much gambling debt does this rebellious daughter owe? One million taels of gold for cheating, one million taels of gold in total, two million taels! How can it be so much? General Tang, what do you want? To refuse debts and not pay them back will bring unrest to your family and home. Defaulting on debts will bring retribution for a lifetime. If this gets out of hand, and the Emperor finds out, I'll be in deep trouble. What are you waiting for? Quickly pawn your shops and land! My father is gone, and my mother's land was already used as a gambling stake. You unfilial daughter, my master doesn't want it ! It must be you! It must be Tang Liuying's scheme! Aunt Liu, what are you saying? Liuying has been raised in this secluded room since childhood, how would she know these things? How could it be me? It was your father! It was her! What are you doing here? I heard my sister owes… I came here out of kindness to see if I could help with the debts I've accumulated. Now it seems my sister was right; I 'm not even as well off as a servant in this General's Mansion. Husband, let's go. Wait… about the dowry your mother gave you, Father, you wouldn't still want mine, would you? If word gets out, people will know you favor your concubine over your wife, and I 'll have a hard time staying in the Prince of Ning's Mansion. Father, can you really be so heartless? You 're right. When did you become so sharp-tongued? Ever since you kicked my mother out of the General's Mansion, you rebellious daughter ! Husband, Father-in-law, if you ever… Next time , don't blame me for fighting back. I originally wanted to forgive my sister's debt, but General Tang's slap was far too disregard for father-daughter relations. What? You want to forgive the debt ? Fine , we'll hit you as you please, until you're satisfied. Mother, Aunt Liu, is that really true ? We'll hit you as you please, we'll have no complaints. Then, Liu Ying, well, I'll respectfully comply. Tang Liu Ying , your sister, are you angry? Then let it go. No, no, no, hit me as you please, but do n't hold back! You said it yourself! Husband's hand hurts, hand hurts! I won't hit you anymore. Now, can the debt be forgiven? A married woman obeys her husband. I will listen to my husband. Paying back debts is a matter of course . Two slaps and you think you can get away with it ? Dream on ! You little cutie, how dare you ask me for that? Aunt Liu was the one who begged me to hit her , I didn't agree! Tang Liuying, I'll fight you to the death! Wife , come home ! Come back here! Don't go! Does it hurt? Go to hell! Master, you 've had enough! What are you standing there for ? Hand over the land deed , pack your bedding and get out! Master, as you wish! As you wish ! Are you stupid? Kneel down! Why should I kneel ? Just because you saw he had a broken hand, you assume it's my fault ? What else? Mingyu has been sensible since he was little. If you hadn't gone to the gambling den and caused trouble, would he have lost a hand? Never mind , whatever I said… You wouldn't believe it, we can't just let it go like this. Does a husband like you, who suffers injustice and only swallows it all, deserve to be blamed? And after you married into the family , not only did you not try to persuade Zhao'er to mend his ways , but you also went out and fooled around with him. If your daughter-in-law hadn't gone to that gambling den, how would she have known that Lu Mingyu had colluded with outsiders to cheat and swindle all the money from the Prince's mansion? What Mingyu? You , me, I didn't , I was just confused for a moment. You almost caused him to lose everything and become a cheat. You call this a moment of confusion? Wife, do you dare to go to the gambling den to confront them? Do you dare to go to the yamen to tell them? I know my husband is soft-hearted and won't pursue the matter further now that you've broken your hand. But what have you done ? How could the Prince's mansion have raised such a troublesome woman like you? And yet you act so aggressively when you stand up for me ! Mingyu was raised by me from a young age; ultimately, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly . You little darling , you even dared to scheme against Zhao'er! I 'll teach you a lesson! I 'll teach you a lesson! Your Highness, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again! I already told your mother; if she knew, she would never let you off! Your Highness , such a villain cannot be allowed to live. Expel him from the family! This little firefly, didn't she scare you? Fortunately , the Princess is very understanding. She is my daughter-in-law, and I have always been weak. If I had seen her like this, I would have beaten her to death on the spot . I never want to see you again. Guards , take her away! Your Highness , you all wait! One day I will make you pay for this! Your Highness, I was wrong. If Wanwan were here, that would be better. Zhao'er, accompany your father to the ancestral hall to offer incense to your mother. Alright, everything is fine now. You should go back and rest. Your mother hopes you will soon have children for the royal family. Liuying will do her best . It's all this sickly girl's fault. She ruined my Mingyu and my grand plan. I can't quell my hatred until she is eliminated. This chili water… Sure enough, it made the redness and swelling on my face even more obvious. If I go to my wife like this, she'll definitely soften her heart. Wife, I was wrong . Wife , look at the beating your father gave me, how can you still blame me? No, no, that's too much! Wife , I was wrong, I'll never dare to do it again . Wife, I was wrong , I swear I'll never gamble again. It's so hard, I 've never apologized to anyone in my life . Wife, I was wrong , I'll never gamble again. Parrot, we're brothers, let's see how you do this time. Wife, you're not asleep yet. Huh ? What are you doing, Parrot? The young master is a good- for-nothing. The young master is a good -for-nothing. Your wife laughed, does that mean you're not having children? "My dear wife , look how swollen my face is! Please don't be angry. Then promise me you'll never gamble again. With a beauty like my wife, even if he gave me the entire Qianjin Gambling House, I would never set foot there again. My face hurts . Blow on it. The young master wants to seduce a rogue . Parrot, shut up! If you keep barking, I'll stew you! My dear wife, you know I never wanted a rogue. I truly love you . It's natural that you love me too. With such beauty and talent, you're worthy of being the Crown Prince's wife, let alone the Crown Prince's wife. Who wouldn't like you? But you said it ! What did I say ? What did I say? On our wedding night, I…" She'd fallen for her husband's face. If this face were in the Chinese entertainment industry, it would be considered top-tier looks. What?! "Inner fish, outer fish, my wife, calm down! I'm from a respectable family, I've been chaste for nineteen years, and I 'm not ready yet! My husband doesn't want to? Fine, I didn't say I didn't want to. This is my first time, and I can't be shy? Then take off your clothes! My husband will take responsibility for you! I never thought my weak and helpless wife had this side to her! Miss , you look so radiant today , your face is like a peach blossom ! Being pampered by the young master makes all the difference! Princess Consort , oh no! The young master has gone to the horse races!" What did you say? I heard that the Princess Consort felt sorry for the Prince and specially sent him an invitation to the horse race. The Prince couldn't resist and said that the Princess Consort was bad. The Princess Consort was bad. Parrot , don't talk nonsense, but the Princess Consort's doting will indeed harm him. No, I have to go and bring Lu Zhaoye back. I bet on Ta Xue. I still prefer Chi Dian . I think this Rouge can win. I just went to the back field and saw it. Its hip curve is simply amazing. Who is Rouge? Rouge is naturally my favorite wife. You and your Rouge go. Don't misunderstand, Rouge is a male horse. I don't care if it's male or female, male or female. "Mother, you came to the horse race? Didn't you swear you'd never gamble again? My wife, I didn't gamble. I just came to give my brothers some advice . Besides, Mother specially sent this invitation, and I couldn't refuse her kindness. No, then you can just be a child forever, my wife. Wait for me, my wife Zhaoye , your wife's eyes are practically glued to the Crown Prince. Is she about to change her mind? Don't talk nonsense! I'm sorry , I thought it was another woman throwing herself at me . I am the Crown Prince. I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince before. His Highness is so handsome and elegant that women all over the world admire him. In the book, Lu Mingyu used the Crown Prince's influence…" Since I'm in a higher position , I'll start by flattering him a bit; it can't hurt. Listen to this: your wife has secretly fallen for the Crown Prince. Really? With such beauty and talent, she 's more than qualified to be the Crown Prince's wife, let alone the heir apparent . Has she really taken my words to heart? I have an appointment today; if you're interested, please wait here tomorrow. Your Highness , I already have a family. Thank you for your kind words , Your Highness. I was being presumptuous. Goodbye, may we meet again. This Crown Prince is quite different from what I imagined. But I haven't even seen him appear before I've transmigrated! My wife, are you going to abandon me after seducing me? When did you arrive ? If you hadn't come soon, you'd have one foot in the Eastern Palace! No, I am! I think the Crown Prince is quite ambitious; he must be a reliable man. He just put his arm around your waist, my wife. Open your eyes and look closely! I've gotten bigger recently! What do you mean, bigger or smaller? You can't just say things like that outside! It's the place you love to touch most! Look, there are eight of them! Alright , alright, go have fun with your brothers. Don't be angry. Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. We're the ones who can play with you for a lifetime. Even with all this, you haven't managed to keep him hooked ! Alright, let's go betting on horses. It's all my fault for running off to the horse races in such a muddle. My wife must be utterly disappointed in me. Go away! All you ever do is race horses, fight cocks, and fool around . You're all so unambitious and complacent. From this day forward, I, the young master , will sever all ties with you. Zhao Ye's method of dealing with provocation is like a piercing arrow. Madam, oh no! Young master, young master has hanged himself! What? Young master, come down quickly! Lu Zhao Ye, what are you doing? I 'm going to participate in the martial arts tournament. I heard the Crown Prince will also participate. I know that's why I must participate. I must win the championship! That's how my wife will change her mind. Go and bring me the red-tasseled spear from my storeroom , and all those military books I read as a child . They're here to prop up the table legs. " A young man who doesn't study hard will regret it when he's old." From today onwards , I will study diligently. No , I can't sleep! The martial arts tournament is imminent; I must study with my head tied to the rafters and my thigh pricking with an awl! Wait a minute! Oh no! Young Master! Young Master is going to hang himself! I wasn't looking for Young Master Lu Zhaoye, what are you doing? My wife, can't you see? I don't want to live anymore! My wife, since you've already given up on me , I might as well hang myself from a tree in the southeast to avoid hindering your journey . My legs are weak from coming down. My wife, if you don't carry me, I won't be able to get down. You're still too green to act in front of me. Oh no! I was just trying to pretend… My wife, original owner, what's wrong? What happened to you? My wife , don't worry, it's not like I'm going to die yet! Young Master, things have come to this point, this servant dares not hide anything. Actually, my young lady has been poisoned and needs Phoenix Blood Fungus. "Help ! Otherwise, I'll die soon! Who poisoned me? Of course, it was those people in the General's Mansion who can't tolerate the young lady . I'm going to raid the General's Mansion right now. Do n't go causing trouble without proof. Don't worry, my lady , I will definitely find the Phoenix Blood Fungus. Why don't you have any medical books that record where the Phoenix Blood Fungus grows? Zhao'er, I heard from the servants that you're looking for the Phoenix Blood Fungus. Yes, it's a pity you haven't found it yet. But I heard that the Imperial Pharmacy has one. I plan to steal it. Don't be silly . I've already found out for you. It grows under the cliff of Longbei Mountain. Longbei Mountain cliff. Thank you, my lady. I 'm going now . Don't come back. Princess Consort, something bad has happened! The young master has fallen off a cliff. He's in grave danger. You must go to Jimin Medical Clinic quickly! Jimin Medical Clinic . Lu Zhaoye, please don't let anything happen to you! Young lady, would you like to play with us for a while? Move aside. I heard you want to have children for the Ning Prince's Mansion . What are you all planning to do? Is that good-for-nothing young master any good? Why don't we two brothers do it for him? " I guarantee you'll give birth to twins, get out of my way! You know I'm from the Ning Prince's Mansion, how dare you act recklessly? This little lady is quite fierce! I like it! Dare to bite me, let's all strip her naked! Miss, Miss, Young Master, what are you doing here? What happened? Where is my wife? Miss heard you were seriously injured and rushed out to find you. But seeing you like this, I'm seriously injured ! Oh no! You must return to the manor immediately! Use this token to summon the elite troops of the Prince's Mansion , seal off the entire city , and search for my wife's whereabouts with all your might! This little lady is really beautiful. I wonder what it would feel like to sleep with me? Don't touch me! It's definitely more intoxicating than the top courtesan at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion ! Husband , I think I just heard my wife's voice … What's in that bucket? Fresh fish sent to Wanfulou? What are you doing ? Once the lid's open and exposed to light , it won't be fresh anymore. Fish aren't that delicate! Got enough? I already said it's fish! If you delay, deduct my wages! Get out of the way! That man's teeth marks on his hand are the same as mine! No, it's… My beautiful wife , you're awake! Perfect timing to keep me company! Brother, be gentle ! Okay, okay, big brother , big brother! That little cutie ran away ! Chase her! This is my wife's blood, it's still wet! They're still nearby! Search for her! If the Princess Consort finds out you've sent out all the elite troops in the manor… she's probably my lawfully wedded wife! "If anything happens to the Crown Princess , you will all be executed! Little cutie, don't run away! Stop right there! I'm back again! I am the Crown Princess! How dare you do anything to me? My husband will not let you get away with this! That good-for-nothing! If he could protect you, you'd be starving here in the middle of nowhere! You'd be screaming your lungs out in this desolate wilderness, and no one would come to your rescue ! Get out of here! This little piece of junk can't even catch anything? Husband , wife, don't touch her! Don't come any closer! We can talk about anything! You killed my brother! I'll make you pay with your life! I'll stab you in the heart! Husband, don't catch her! Don't be impulsive ! I 'll hurry! Husband , don't catch her! Don't! Lu Zhaoye, wife , I'll take care of you!" It's late. Are you alright? It's alright, let's go home. That's not how you play with knives. How are you, my husband? Are you handsome? Still being cheeky. Does it still hurt ? It doesn't hurt anymore. But you , when I heard about your accident today, I was almost scared to death. What were you doing on the cliff? I went to collect Phoenix Blood Fungus. And I only have a scratch. Does it still hurt? It hurts. My chest hurts. My wife rubs it. Liuying, are you alright? Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Liuying is fine. It's just a few minor cuts. That's good. That's good. It's just a pity that those two little cuties died. I couldn't find out who was behind it all. By the way, Zhao'er, that map came from the General's Mansion. Is there something wrong with it , Mother? There's no Phoenix Blood Fungus on that cliff at all; it's probably a trap set by Tang Ruyi. Something feels off. Mother will keep a closer eye out for you all. You should rest early. Mother is leaving now. Take care, Mother. Husband, I saw how well you dealt with those two kidnappers today. If you practiced martial arts every day, wouldn't you be invincible like that Supreme Treasure? I 'm not that fighting General Cui; why should I practice martial arts every day and make things difficult for myself? Still thinking about General Cui? It seems I need to provoke him a bit more. Your Highness, Your Highness, and Your Highness invite you to have tea. They say they have a few private words to say to you. I still need to catch General Cui. "I 'm too busy eating insects, my wife. I had Xiao Liu go to Pin Fang Zhai to buy you some pastries, they're still warm, my darling. Are they delicious? This is for you. My wife is making me clothes, don't block the light. I have to make a garment for our ever-victorious general before it gets cold. Doesn't it have fur? My wife , my clothes are old too. My wife, have you noticed that my hair ornament matches your hairpin perfectly today? My wife, actually, when I fight, I'm no worse than the ever-victorious general . You had to force me to use my ultimate move. Sure enough, this move works. The majestic pattern is worthy of our ever-victorious general. Xiao Liu, I, the young master , also…" Is that so? It's even worse! It 's truly a waste of time and energy. Pearl, Pearl, what happened to my chicken coop, birdcage , and clam jars? The young master ran away with all those toys overnight, even catching the fish in the pond! He said if he didn't run away, all that would remain in the young lady's heart would be those little feathered cuties and noisy insects. My lady actually called them "darlings" ! I'll send you all away so my lady can see who is the most beloved treasure. This trick of mine is called "showing a real person," like a mirror , letting him see his younger self. Young lady , you're amazing! I wonder when the young master will find the Phoenix Blood Fungus… Never mind… Tell him about coughing up blood. I'm guiding him onto the right path; I don't want him to be distracted by other things. Hurry up, Miss! The young master has been spearing fish in the courtyard since early this morning , completely forgetting about finding the Phoenix Blood Fungus. My wife, you've come at the right time! I was just about to spear a few fish to make soup for you tonight. Go ahead and play. I heard the young master bought several boxes of storybooks; they just arrived at the study. What are you reading, husband? Of course, the most popular storybooks of the moment ! One day, I'll definitely become the protagonist! Husband, you truly have lofty ambitions , though your tastes are a bit heavy. No, my wife… I just wish my husband will soon win the heart of his beloved. My lady, my lady, let me explain. I don't know how this filthy thing got in. This Zhiqi is hopeless ! No, he's lying to me, Miss. This servant doesn't understand. There's a military manual hidden under those erotic pictures. This morning, before he noticed me approaching, his weapons had to be of the highest quality. Miss , hurry up! My lady, since the young master has decided to strive for advancement , why pretend to be young? Perhaps he doesn't want to give me hope but is also afraid of disappointing me. Young master, why don't you tell the princess the truth? Rather than making grand promises and disappointing her , it's better to quietly become stronger. Maybe you can give her a surprise at the martial arts competition. Also, my lady is coughing up blood now. It's getting worse. She's afraid of burdening me, so she's been carrying it on her back. But apart from the palace, it's hard to find another Phoenix Blood Fungus in the world. What should I do? Only by giving it my all and standing out in the martial arts competition can I be qualified to negotiate with the Emperor and exchange all the rewards for that one and only Phoenix Blood Fungus. Your Highness will surely win! Diligence makes one suffer. I need to ask my wife for some sweetness. Wife, I'm here! Wife , I'm here! You rascal ! It's me! Don't be silly! I have an injury on my leg. What happened to your leg ? I fell during the horse race today. Why are your hands shaking? I used too much force during the fight. My leg was pierced by an awl. My hands are shaking from practicing with a gun. When my wife finds out the truth in the future, she will definitely feel… "Mass and thud! Look at your aggrieved look ! Since my husband has disturbed my sweet dreams , let's get down to business. I, Liu Ying, also want my husband to experience what it's like to be the protagonist. My wife, this … this… my husband, don't be shy! You study those eighteen positions of lovemaking every day, don't you want to put them into practice ? My wife, this isn't appropriate, is it? But if my wife insists on trying my goodness, I'll risk my life to accompany you. Come on , it hurts ! My wife, you're lying to me. Next time, take it easy and don't hurt yourself again. I'll listen to my wife. I still have legs. These pants are really in the way. My wife, what are you going to do? Or should I do it myself? My wife, be gentle! Listen to these wild words! No wonder you're from a military family." Tiger Girl, it seems we'll soon be holding our grandson! Wishful thinking, Miss. The young master can't come; the princess sent him two beautiful concubines, and he's too busy to leave. I'll go check on him. Young Master, please wait! Li Mama, I'm here specially invited by the Princess of Ning to teach you manners. The princess has always been kind to me and never restricts me. As the young master 's wife, I must pay attention to my appearance and demeanor to maintain my dignity. I was originally the head maid of the Eastern Palace. Please cooperate, Young Master. The Princess of Ning actually has connections in the Eastern Palace! Young Master , we can begin! Chest out , head held high! If the bowl falls, you 'll get whipped! Just use your methods to keep that sickly child in check! Once that brat and his concubine have consummated their relationship, I refuse to believe they can work together. Why hasn't Lu Zhaoye arrived yet ? Is he really trapped by his concubine? Just passing by the side courtyard, the commotion was enough to make me blush. And the Princess Consort is still nowhere to be seen with good news. Don't let that concubine get pregnant first! Your gait is unseemly and deserves punishment. You think I'm a pushover just because I'm not showing my teeth? How dare you disobey the Princess Consort's orders? Your nanny , Liuying, is stupid and clumsy. Why don't you demonstrate yourself? If you don't drop the bowl within ten steps, Liuying is willing to accept double the punishment. This old servant will only demonstrate once. Princess Consort, watch closely, Zhu'er. Does your nanny , Xiong, have…? "You're all slouching! No wonder you look like a molting, soft-legged crab. What are you doing, Granny ? Liu Ying is just enforcing the rules you personally set . Zhu'er, quickly help Granny up! I'll go fetch the imperial physician. Lu Zhaoye, if you can't control yourself, you're definitely going to die! Come back ! I can't take it anymore! No, no! Lu Zhaoye, could it be that you really… My wife is acting so suspiciously , are you here to catch her in the act? You're not in there . If I really was, things would be very complicated. Lu Zhaoye, if you dare to have sex with them, I'll cut off your third leg! You're really ruthless! My wife has already enjoyed everything, how can you still do this?" What exactly happened inside? My wife, please come and see ! Come here ! I hate you, young master! You're so wicked! My wife is relieved now. My innocence is as clear as day and night. In this manor, the only one who can make me turn my life upside down is you, my little wildcat . Who's your little wildcat? My wife , what you did to me in the room that day was far worse than this. I'll definitely assert my authority when I get the chance . How do you want to assert my authority? I'll tie you to the bed and make you laugh until your legs go weak and you cry and beg for mercy , just like them. Lu Zhaoye, you're looking for the Princess Consort of Si. Slow down! My wife, why is your face red? Could it be that you were thinking about that day when we… You were so glib! Believe it or not, don't move. Let's fool Mother first. Xiao Liu is the Prince. Don't stop ! Prince and Princess, listen to how happy you are. Is this a done deal ? This voice sounds off . Ouch, my wife, give me another kiss. Ouch, don't stop! I won't let you stop ! You're not allowed to stop! Keep going ! No more! No more! Nobody can resist ! Girls of the Yihong Courtyard, let's go! You're so mean , Prince! My wife , keep going! They've all left, and I haven't acted enough yet. How can this be enough for you? Didn't you hear what your mother just said? These two aren't from respectable families; they're prostitutes from the Yihong Courtyard. What is Princess Ning up to? What if she lets you…? What if I catch some kind of disease, my wife? I swear I haven't touched them at all. I could never have caught a disease. That's not the point. The Princess Ning's intentions are the point. But my mother has always treated me very well. She wouldn't harm me, would she? I've said before that spoiling someone can also be harmful. This Princess Ning… I find her a bit scary. My wife , but tomorrow is the martial arts tournament. It 's not a good time to argue with my mother today. Precisely because tomorrow is the martial arts tournament, those with guilty consciences are very likely to cause trouble tonight. My wife, I've already taken a bath. I wonder if we can sleep together tonight ? Zhao'er, you sleep… As expected, Zhao'er is here! Tomorrow is her martial arts performance. Mother specially prepared a nourishing soup to help you achieve victory. Mother is so thoughtful. What about those two concubines? My wife is so jealous and insists that I spend all my evenings with them. Even if Liu Ying is weak , is she not as good as those two lowly Liu Ying girls ? Although they are of humble origin , they are both innocent. Mother is worried that you can't handle Zhao'er's vigorous growth and wants them to share the burden with you. Your Highness's words are indeed watertight. Mother, the important matter of continuing the family line, I only want to discuss it with you. Mother, are you not leaving yet ? Are you going to supervise me ? Ah, I won't feel at ease until I see you drink this soup. As long as Mother is at ease, I'll drink it. Once you've finished the soup , you should all rest early. Pearl, quickly fetch some soapberry water and drink it. Wife , this is such a big bowl, surely you don't need to drink it all? Wife, are we overthinking this? What if Mother doesn't have bad intentions? Better safe than sorry. Six , give this half bowl of soup to those two prostitutes in the woodshed. Yes , wife , watch your husband give you a performance of swearing! Husband, you've worked hard . Wife , I'm weak all over now, easily pushed over, and can be trampled on by you . Shameless ! Go back and lie down. Husband, aren't you weak all over? Where are your clothes? Lu Zhaoye replied … The young master and princess seemed fine after drinking the soup last night , but today they appeared unsteady on their feet and weak all over. Mother, are you really trying to harm me? Perhaps we should finish the act and test her for what she's really capable of. Zhao'er, bring her here! I had someone prepare the ingredients last night , but she couldn't find the poisonous mushrooms . It's all my fault for being careless and harming Zhao'er. This isn't your fault, but Zhao'er has a martial arts performance tomorrow! What if something happens to her ? How could I face my sister Wan in the afterlife? I told you Mother didn't mean any harm! Don't let your guard down, keep acting. If she really has been playing the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother for over ten years… To change Zhaoye and Prince Ning's minds, I need to plan carefully. My lady, once you've registered for the martial arts competition, you can't back out now . Let's go ! With the Crown Prince's talent , he'll surely win first place in today's competition! Ah, why is Na Qi here? This good- for-nothing is here to fill in for His Highness the Crown Prince! A sickly girl paired with a good-for-nothing —truly a match made in heaven! The girl I met at the horse race that day is actually the Princess Consort of Prince Ning's mansion ! Zhaoye, you've come to such a grand event today, bringing with you the competition ? Are you afraid of getting beaten up and no one to collect your body? How do you know I'll be the one getting beaten up today? In your current state , who even remembers you? You were once a child prodigy, but now you're utterly useless , incapable of writing or even fighting. It's not like no one wants you, so why jump into this fire pit? Laugh all you want! In a moment, I, the Crown Prince , will make you look at me with new eyes. Once my husband wins the martial arts competition, all your sour words will have to be swallowed back ! Stubborn fool! Wait until this good-for-nothing gets a good beating, then you'll know how bad your judgment was! Insolence ! Apologize now! Please forgive me, Your Highness and Crown Princess ! Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding! Lu Lin, this guy wins my wife's favor with his humble and polite demeanor ! "Watch me beat you into a lapdog! The martial arts competition officially begins! My wife , wait for me to take first place and bring you honor! You fool, what I want isn't superficial glory , but for you to become a true man , able to protect yourself and others. After the late emperor's death, Prince Ning should have succeeded to the throne , but Prince Ning was away on campaign, so His Majesty had to take over in a time of crisis. However, His Majesty's offspring have been few over the years, and this Crown Prince is incompetent and mediocre. Fortunately, Lu Mingyu, that troublemaker, is now useless. Hopefully, the Eastern Palace will no longer be enemies with Prince Ning's mansion." The Crown Prince wins the military strategy debate, while the Heir Apparent wins the archery contest. Next , the two will enter the broadcasting platform to determine the champion. The Heir Apparent has not studied for many years and has fallen behind in the written examination. Otherwise , there would be no need for the martial arts competition. No matter how well he wrote his strategy, it would be useless. Everyone was on his side, including the proctor. Only archery was undeniable and couldn't be faked. A draw was already difficult enough. Wouldn't this time, the broadcasting station be in grave danger? We can only pray that the Crown Prince is a righteous gentleman . Miss, where have you been? The competition is about to begin. It turns out he was the wolf in sheep's clothing. The loser kowtows, the winner is made famous. Let the competition begin! When the fighting starts, Your Highness , please don't cry like you did when you were a child . Well then , we'll wait and see. Your Highness, don't worry, I've already hidden dozens of ice needles in Lu Zhaoye's armor. In a moment , Your Highness only needs to strike his vital points, and that good-for-nothing will be finished. Is it easy to expose a disability? Ice needles melt when heated. After a broadcast, only the injury is visible, leaving no trace . Wait a minute, what's this good-for- nothing doing? He 's already admitting defeat before even fighting! Please, my wife, grant me a kiss to help me gain strength! But there are so many people here! Wait for me, my husband! Please be careful! Don't worry, my wife will win ! Come on , little cutie! Gu Si can't even withstand a single punch! Is he going to kneel down and beg for mercy? Husband , no way! Crown Prince , is this all you've got? Did n't you eat enough for lunch? Doesn't it hurt? Are you sure you're not just tickling me? Husband, be more discreet! Where His Highness hits you , you hit back! Remember, don't be disrespectful! He actually has such methods ! It's him… As a child, he was astonishingly strong, capable of lifting a tripod! Now, he's utterly useless , unable to even kill a chicken. It must be that Prince Ling deliberately let him win. This is impossible; he's so powerful , yet the Crown Prince is completely defenseless. Your Highness, are you made of paper? So easily defeated! Shut up! How could this be? I never expected the Crown Prince to be so ruthless! You beast in human clothing ! I almost fell for your trick! Come on, fight back! Give me a break ! Stop! The Crown Prince's body is of utmost importance ; how can you dare to offend him and harm the foundation of the nation ? Can you bear the consequences? Guards, seize him! If you dare disrespect the Crown Prince again, you will be executed without mercy! What does this mean? Before the fight, we agreed that the winner would be famous and the loser would be beheaded. How did this happen? Can't you even play this game? Is this the truth? " I suspect you tampered with His Highness's armor, which is tantamount to plotting against the Crown Prince. You deserve to die for this crime! Your victory is dishonorable and utterly despicable! I , the Prince of Ning, am a family of unparalleled loyalty for generations . Would I resort to such underhanded tactics to win? No matter how loyal the Prince of Ning is, his position is not as noble as His Highness the Crown Prince's. " This statement is incorrect. If the Prince of Ning desired this position, the current Crown Prince might be uncertain. It is true that the Prince of Ning conquered this land, yet some reap the benefits . With petty minds, they plunder the wisdom of a gentleman. How dare you speak so presumptuously about the Crown Prince! This is a grave offense of disrespect. If the Crown Prince lacks even this much tolerance, how will he rule the world in the future? The Crown Prince practices martial arts daily, while the Heir Apparent has been muddle-headed for years. Without cheating, how could he have won ? Injustice! Injustice! My husband is a genius, achieving enlightenment even in play . If you have no evidence , how can you speak so falsely? Your Highness, your injuries are so severe ; there must be a hidden mechanism within the armor." You only need to remove your armor to convict Lu Zhaoye. You are still the champion of this martial arts competition. If Your Highness can truly produce evidence, my wife and I can only atone with our deaths. My wife, you don't need to make the Crown Prince take off his clothes. Even if there is no evidence, I will not admit it, Your Highness. Speak up! Your Highness, if this good-for-nothing tries to cheat you, we will never let him go. Besides making him kowtow and admit his mistake , we will also break his hands and feet to let him know the price of cheating . That's right, is the Crown Prince worse than a mere scoundrel? Don't say that past folly does not preclude a lifetime of depravity. Who hasn't… In the folly of youth, prejudice is indeed a mountain. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? If you truly wish to convict my husband, then produce the evidence! Your Highness , please undress and prove your guilt for the murder! Shut up! You bunch of good-for- nothings , are you trying to strip me of my last shred of dignity? This Crown Prince is still hesitant to undress ; could there truly be another reason? I think he's just a sore loser . My husband is upright and honorable, a true man of honor ! Your Highness , are you really going to admit defeat to a good-for-nothing ? What? Your Highness is going to admit defeat? If the Crown Prince admits defeat, then this final punch… I won't fight anymore, I'll save you some face, my husband. This isn't right. Martial arts rules always require someone to step down. I'm afraid he can't handle it, Your Highness. Don't be afraid, go for it! Your Highness, let him taste your power ! I surrender, my wife. He surrendered ? No way! Then our Ning Prince's Mansion will be wiped out! This is the Crown Prince! He can't be spared! No, the Crown Prince isn't someone who can't accept defeat, right? Your Highness is simply outmatched and has accepted his defeat wholeheartedly. Let's go! Your Highness , Your Highness, the dignified Crown Prince is so weak! How can we entrust this empire to you in the future? We've supported him so strongly , yet he doesn't even fight for it. What kind of man is he? Why are you all standing there like idiots? Give the young master an award ! Clap for me! Congratulations, Prince , you 've won first place! My husband is amazing! How are you going to reward me today ? My husband worked so hard today ! Well, I'll treat you to a full-on massage! I don't want a massage! Then what do you want? I want you, but you don't want me? Lu Zhaoye, I swear I won't rest until I avenge this! I'm drunk like this at a celebration banquet! My wife, look at my newly learned Drunken Immortal Step! I can smash through four doors in seven steps, but I can't break into your heart! How do you know I didn't break into your heart? I did! Oh no ! Oh no! My legs feel like glutinous rice balls , I can't stand up! Little fairy, please carry me to bed! How can I carry you? Let me give you some immortal energy. My wife , don't move around. I can't believe it. Lu Zhaoye, you're hurting me. Where does it hurt? There's something hard under your thigh. This is the big treasure I prepared for my wife. What big treasure? Lu Zhaoye, don't take advantage of your drunkenness to be so lewd. My wife, no, no! This is the Phoenix Blood Mushroom that I finally obtained. The reward for the martial arts champion is a certificate of merit . I didn't want it. I knelt in the palace for three whole hours before the emperor agreed to give me the only Phoenix Blood Mushroom in the Imperial Pharmacy . I don't want anything else. I just want my wife to live a long and healthy life. Lu Zhaoye, you… How wonderful! Can we cuddle and sleep together tonight? From now on, my wife, come quickly! There's something I still need to tell you. The Crown Prince and Princess Ning are not good people at all. My wife, look, the bite mark from the other day is still there. Tonight, it's my turn! I heard this is grape wine from the Western Regions— sweet and not intoxicating, perfect for a light sip during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Miss Tang, you are truly knowledgeable! Sister, you should try some too . Sister, are you blaming me for cheating that day ? Family doesn't hold grudges overnight! The Crown Prince's wife is so cold; it seems a bit pretentious. Well then, thank you, sister. Please, sister. After being confined for so many days, I 'm finally seeing the light of day again, Lu Mingyu! You still dare to come looking for me? I had no choice before, but now we must cooperate to deal with Si. As for Lu Zhaoye and Tang Liuying, I have no way to deal with the young master. However, my mother poisoned Tang Liuying when she was still in her mother's womb. Now, we only need one more ingredient to kill her. A sudden death would be too easy for her. The Crown Prince ordered me to serve the wine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I want her to bleed from all seven orifices, go mad in public, and commit the grave crime of disrespect before the Emperor. The wine contains the last ingredient, Tang Liuying … I can't wait to see your horrible state after the poison takes effect! The Emperor has arrived ! The Crown Prince has arrived ! Greetings, Your Majesty! Today is a reunion banquet , please don't be so formal, please sit down. Husband, I'm going to relieve myself . Why hasn't my wife returned yet? Protect the Emperor! Firefly! Firefly! What's wrong? Disrespecting the Emperor is a serious crime! What makes you so sure that's my wife ? If not, who is she? Her seat has been empty for a long time. It seems my aunt is quite concerned about me. I just went to relieve myself . How could my aunt falsely accuse me for no reason? If not, isn't my sister in this seat ? Your Majesty, Ruyi, she probably went for some fresh air. She'll be back soon. It's not my sister, that's good. Otherwise, where would the reputation of my General's Mansion be? Take this madwoman away and don't disturb His Majesty. Ruyi, how could it be your mother who saved me? Fortunately, the poison in my body has been neutralized , and I was prepared. What exactly happened ? Could it be that there was poison in this wine? Your Majesty, I request the Imperial Physician to examine it. Imperial Physician : Your Majesty, this wine contains hallucinogenic datura , but the dosage is very small. Only when combined with strychnine can it induce madness. No wonder I felt inexplicably restless and uneasy after drinking it today. Tang Ruyi, for your own personal revenge , you disregard the safety of everyone. You are truly a poison of the world! My wife happens to have been poisoned by strychnine, this slow-acting poison, for many years. What a coincidence! What are you two doing? Explaining how you were poisoned by fireflies, Father-in-law, you should ask yourself that. General Tang's favoritism towards his concubines and neglect of his wife is well-known in the capital. His concubines and illegitimate daughters dared to poison his legitimate daughter because of his indulgence . Minister Tang, you're confused! Your Majesty, this humble subject would never dare to do such a wicked thing! Then why did my mother have a premature birth for no reason, and why have I suffered from illness for so many years ? You little darling , stop talking nonsense! Don't hit me! Judging from the Princess Consort's reaction , she 's been beaten quite a bit! General Tang can't even handle things at home , how can he lead troops into battle? Tang Liren, today is a day of family reunion, you should be enjoying peace and harmony, yet you've brought this chaotic mess from your own household to the palace. Are you trying to make your family a laughingstock in front of the entire court ? Your Majesty, I am powerless and beg for mercy. It's all this poisonous woman's fault! Sir , shut up! From today onwards , you are divorced! Take this rebellious daughter and get out of here ! Sir, you can't treat me like this! My wife , my wife , my sister, this is going to kill me! Tang Ruyi, you should pay with your life for murder! What is your punishment? This matter must not be tolerated ! Guards, drag her away and give her fifty strokes of the cane! Your Majesty, spare my life! This was just a quarrel between the sisters in the inner quarters. How could Ruyi dare to actually kill someone? Drag her away now! No, no, it was him! It was Lu Mingyu who did it! He said it himself. Poisoning Tang Liuying was too lenient on her. He wanted to make something out of the wine… Her sudden death caused her to bleed from all seven orifices. My husband , despite all our precautions, you can't guard against a traitor within your own household! I only won by chance at the Qianjin Gambling House, yet they conspired to kill me! Cooperate with me! Lu Mingyu, this is a palace banquet! The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and all the court officials are here! How dare you poison people in public? That figure looks so much like the black-clad man from the martial arts tournament! It seems this wine is untouchable today. Lu Mingyu , you are truly stubborn! The Princess Consort of Ning requests an audience with the Prince. To avoid suspicion of forming factions , she never attends palace banquets. The Princess Consort of Ning must have come today to seek justice for the Crown Princess. I heard that my adopted son caused trouble at the palace banquet, so I've come to apologize. It turns out I'm pleading for my adopted son's life. With witnesses and physical evidence presented, Princess Ning, what else is there to explain? Lu Mingyu, he didn't actually poison her. The datura pollen-infused wine was a brewing technique I taught him, widely practiced in my ancestral home of Biannan . Your Majesty , this technique does indeed exist in Biannan. I didn't poison her. I merely added some datura flower juice to the wine to please you noble ladies. I don't know why Tang Liuying was poisoned by strychnine, this slow-acting poison. Since it was a coincidence, I beg Your Majesty to have mercy and spare this little darling's life. If this is the case , and we release him so easily, who will take responsibility for the injustice my wife suffered? Zhao'er, you are nothing but a servant. Why did Mother come all this way to stop this? Fine , this is not your Ning Prince 's Mansion. Take them all away and punish them according to the law. You 've ruined a perfectly good reunion banquet. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please calm down. Liuying , are you feeling better? It's alright, Father . Liuying knows she is insignificant, her life as fleeting as a firefly, unlike her sister, who is your precious treasure. I have never dared to compete with my sister. Listen to this: the concubine's daughter is called Ruyi, and the legitimate daughter is called Liuying. These two young ladies have been together since birth … General Tang , you've wronged my wife so much. Is it so hard to say "I'm sorry" ? My dear Tang, you were wrong, and as an elder , if you owe a debt to a junior, you should humble yourself and make amends. Liu Ying, your father was wrong. I'm sorry, and I 'm even more sorry to your mother. With such a powerful father behind me, I can live more comfortably in the Prince's mansion. Who wants biased parents? Father-in-law, you are reasonable. My wife is not petty either. We should have more contact between our families in the future. I will follow the Prince's arrangements. Princess Ning, you should also get up. The Prince of Sining's Mansion and the General's Mansion are allied, wouldn't that give me another formidable rival? Mother, I'm not going , I'm not going to beg her either. You darling, do you still think you're the young lady of the General's Mansion? If Tang Liuying doesn't give in, neither of us can go back to the General's Mansion. Please, could you please announce my arrival? I want to see the Crown Princess Jiang. Why is she here ? Ah Ying, Auntie, what did you call me ? You're the Crown Prince, you can't even choose the right outer garment for today, you're throwing a tantrum. It's just a date, why are you acting like a little wife ? I'll go see why Ah Ying doesn't recognize me. Mother, did you see that? Tang Liuying doesn't even recognize her own mother. She goes to burn incense every month, acting quite like a filial daughter. Now that she's risen to a high position , she's even too lazy to perform anymore. No, I always thought she changed too much, very suspicious. Do you think she might not actually be Tang Liuying ? They say you're not my daughter, Liuying. What do you have to say ? Who said that ? Those two troublemakers ! Father , look at my sister ! She used to be sickly, but now she's radiant. She doesn't look like your daughter at all! I used to be so sick I was almost dying, and you ignored me. Now my husband… You've made me look radiant, and now it's my fault? Ruyi says, "You don't even recognize your own mother? Have you forgotten what they said about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? You still believe Liuying? Dare you say you recognize Jiang Shi? You don't even recognize your own mother, my darling? The Prince of Ning's mansion married a fake ! What a sucker! No matter her past status, she's now the Princess Consort of my mansion! Who dares to object ? I think her identity is suspicious. She should be taken to the Dali Temple for severe interrogation, preferably with a hundred strokes of the cane. Let's see if she confesses or not. Do you have anything else to explain ? If you can't say anything, I think…" You're either possessed by evil spirits or a spy from an enemy country. Let's skin her alive and see what filth is hidden underneath. Find the Prince of Si. If she's not Liu Ying, I, Tang, will not let her off easily. Even the Prince of Ning's mansion couldn't protect her. They have no proof ; why should I admit it? Keep your stubbornness! Bring her here! Jiang Shi, did you say she was your daughter? Sister , if you confess now, it's not too late. Impersonating the eldest daughter of the General's mansion is a crime of deceiving the emperor, punishable by death. And you , if she's not your daughter , you're guilty of the same crime. Liu Ying , just admit your mistake in public ! We guarantee to help you! "Plead for mercy, at worst you'll be banished to the frontier to be a government prostitute. Why don't you confess the truth ? You're so scared you can't even speak! This shameless little darling has managed to trick the Prince of Ning into marriage! Everyone, keep your voices down ! Our young master has a lot of pride! Shut up! Why can't you speak? Weren't you so eloquent just now? Impersonating a noble lady is punishable by being paraded through the streets and subjected to slow slicing! Oh dear, the real Yingling has already been ruined by this social climber ! Jiang, you'd better confess the truth immediately! Yingling, don't be afraid, even if the whole world rejects you…" Mother, I acknowledge you as my mother. My heart is truly aching. Others may not believe me, but even my father doesn't believe me. Mother, don't cry. A father like this is better off without. But… but …how could this be? She just called me A-Ying. Could it be that Mother A-Ying is indeed the original owner's mother? I only read books and had no idea what she looked like. She was forced to live alone in a temple shortly after the original owner was born, and I haven't visited her there since . It's truly her fault. Mother, please don't overthink it. I just saw Tang Ruyi and Aunt Liu acting suspiciously at the door, so I deliberately didn't acknowledge you. I suspect they have a plan. Please cooperate with me, Mother. I will make sure that mother and daughter can never recover. As long as it's good for you, Mother will listen to your arrangements. From now on, let me take your place as your daughter and be filial to you. You can't possibly… Mother and I heard you clearly. You clearly called her "Auntie" and " Sister ." Have you lost your mind? I called her "Mother." Mother , how could you not recognize your own daughter ? Some people are truly despicable. I don't believe you're protecting her. Aying has a red mole behind her ear. She fell off the swing when she was three years old , leaving a scar on her wrist. No one else knows this , and neither do you. You've been indulging her… "You're unworthy to be a father for publicly humiliating your daughter for the sake of a villain ! You rebellious daughter, have you not already caused enough shame for the Tang family ? Father, hit me! Don't call me Father! I, Tang Liren, have no daughter like you! If you want to hit or kill, come at me ! Ruyi is your flesh and blood! Get lost! She's in this state because of your usual spoiling ! Liuying, your father is easily swayed and has failed to properly raise her, causing you to suffer injustice! Father-in-law, you framed the Princess Consort of the Ning Prince's Mansion! Is this all you're going to do with it? Guards! Tang Ruyi and Liu Shi, send them to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation. Anyone who spreads rumors and causes trouble will be punished equally. Sir , you can't…" So heartless, sir! Tang Liuying, I want your husband ! Husband, Xiao Liu, quickly take him back for bandaging! Sir , please spare Ruyi for the sake of father-daughter relationship! You're asking for trouble! Father , take Mother back first , I'll handle the rest. Go now ! Save her! I beg you, save her ! If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I… I was wrong! Tang Ruyi, you know you were wrong now? When you lured me into the gambling, didn't you know you were wrong? When you used my mother, didn't you know you were remorseful? You and your mother schemed your whole lives, never expecting to end up like this! Save her! Liuying, it's too late, enjoy yourself! You sowed the seeds of this karma yourselves to blame, Xin! Someone, drag her away ! Don't defile my Ning Prince's Mansion! Ruyi, Ruyi , no one will bully you anymore! My family's matter is resolved, but your family's situation today is a mess. Not only did the Ning Prince's Consort not intervene , but she also deliberately concealed the truth from the Ning Prince. I think how can I make him believe that a stepmother who has doted on him for almost twenty years has ulterior motives? All those years of being a virtuous wife and loving mother were just an act. You agree, right? I had Zhu'er go to the General's Mansion to ask Tang Ruyi and Aunt Liu. After the gambling match , my father punished them with a month of confinement, so the kidnapping wasn't their doing. It was something the kidnappers said unintentionally. I heard you want to protect the Ning Prince's Mansion… "To have many children" is something the Princess Consort often says. You should go back and rest soon. Mother hopes you will soon have many children for the Prince's mansion. Adding to this the incorrect map, the poisonous mushrooms before the martial arts tournament, and the fact that everything happened so coincidentally, and that her relationship with Lu Mingyu might be closer than that of aunt and nephew. Father, I want to issue a bounty for Lu Mingyu's head. No, he has repeatedly harmed my husband and me. Mother, why are you objecting ? He's no longer in the capital; he 's probably already dead. Besides , the Prince's birthday is in two days. If we were to hunt down a former adopted son now , it would damage the Prince's reputation for benevolence. We should wait until after the birthday banquet. Madam's thinking is very thoughtful. The book mentions that on the day of Prince Ning's birthday banquet, Lu Zhaoye's secret letter of treason was exposed. The letter was extremely well hidden. If I hadn't read the original work, I probably wouldn't have found it even if I dug three feet into the ground. But I haven't seen the chapter where the author reveals the traitor yet . I always guessed it was Lu Mingyu. Now it seems the traitor is Princess Ning. Miss , this is a soup made from Phoenix Blood Fungus. After drinking this bowl, your years of madness will be completely cured. But what should we do with the remaining half? I heard from the doctor that this medicine can even heal broken bones. It's a priceless treasure! Pearl, you must keep it safe in the pharmacy's cold storage. My father has feelings for Shen Shi, and he feels guilty for not letting her bear him any children all these years . He probably won't believe she's a bad person , so he's using bait to catch her. Xiao Liu , go get half a Phoenix Blood Fungus and put it in the pharmacy for the Princess to take. Is the Princess Consort missing the Phoenix Blood Fungus ? "Father, I have urgent business to attend to. This medicine is wrong! My legs! My legs are burning! It hurts so much! How could this be? I personally took this Phoenix Blood Ganoderma from the pharmacy! How could this happen? My hands are starting to ulcerate too! Your Majesty , save me! Mother , let go! Don't touch me! Do you want to hear what you said? She raised you single-handedly, how can you doubt her? I know you won't believe me, but the evidence will arrive soon. If you continue this nonsense , believe me, I'll break your legs! My face! My face! My face! Mother , where did you get these rumors? Without any evidence, how dare you slander your mother? She wants to harm the Si Ning Prince's Mansion! I will never acknowledge her as my mother again! Shut up, you unfilial son! I'll beat you up! Your Highness , stop! The Princess Consort is back! Quickly, fetch the royal physician! Quickly, quickly, quickly! Madam, what happened? Why is everything alright?" I'll be fine after a few days of rest. But why does Your Highness seem unwell ? Your Highness, why is there blood on your hands? What happened to your face? I encountered Qi Qiao on the road; he blocked my path and scratched me. I don't know what virus I contracted . I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Your Highness, the Prince of Ning's birthday is approaching, and yet Qi Qiao dared to offend the head mistress! This cannot be let off lightly! Have you said enough? Get out of my way! Your Highness is usually so gentle, why are you so fierce today? I was just frightened by Qi Qiao, what does it have to do with you ? You're talking about Qi Qiao , but this person is so presumptuous! This little darling , who allowed him to come in? Throw him out! Wait a minute, Lu Mingyu's leg injury looks just like the injury on Your Highness's face ! Husband, don't you think it's… well, it's not exactly the same. It just means these two have been in contact privately. You and this rebellious son are still connected . It wasn't him; he framed Zhao'er ! I wish I could kill him ! Mother, since you care so much about me , why don't you kill him now? Your Highness, are you reluctant? Is Zhao'er less important than this ingrate in your eyes ? No! Then why aren't you doing it? Wait! You really want to kill me? I 'll get someone to change the knife and finish him off in one stroke. It'll save time and effort . What are you hesitating for? Lu Mingyu didn't leave my husband any way out. If it weren't for my husband's incredible luck, the Ning Prince 's mansion would have died out long ago ! Your Highness, he's your own son! Don't you feel sorry for him? Aren't you angry? Don't you want to avenge him? What are you still hesitating for? Is it really as my son says, that you 've been a virtuous wife and mother for the past twenty years ? No , I didn't. Or are you like this little cutie, wanting Zhao'er, or even my life ? No, of course not! Then hurry up and kill him! At this point, the only thing to do is protect yourself . Don't blame your mother! Are you really going to kill me? I am your own son! What did he say? He didn't say anything ! Your Highness, you misheard! I heard him! Lu Mingyu just said he's your son! Shut up! How dare you point a knife at my wife? So in your eyes, we are all outsiders. Lu Mingyu is your family. Are you two conspiring to destroy our Ning Prince's Mansion? Is what Zhao'er said true? No, no, Mother, why are you still hiding this ? Stop talking ! Speak ! Yes, I am her son, her biological son who didn't marry into the Ning Prince 's Mansion. No wonder in the original story, the entire Prince's Mansion was beheaded, and only the Ning Prince's Consort survived . Although she wouldn't let me acknowledge her , all these years she has served as your son 's companion as a distant nephew . Your son enjoys… I've lived a life of luxury, lacking nothing, Father. Why, why? Why? You could have been emperor, but you gave it up . To put the emperor's mind at ease, you wouldn't even let me have children. I've come to this point entirely because of your cowardice. You were pregnant with someone else's child before you married me. What did I do wrong? It's all your fault. What you can't give me , my son and I will take it with our own hands. Where are the guards of the Prince's Mansion ? It 's come to this, there's no need for me to beat around the bush with you. After all these years, I've already consolidated your power and swore to follow you. You want to rebel ? Sure , I never wanted to be kept in seclusion. What I want is power. If you want it, you can tell me. The entire Ning Prince's Mansion is yours to control. Why? Why did it have to come to this point where it's a fight to the death? What I want is something you , this good- for-nothing , and your son are simply not capable of giving me. Stop wasting your breath on them. What? Kill them all ! Shut up! If you hadn't exposed me and ruined my grand plan, I would have had to clean up the mess in the end. Tang Liuying , hand over the antidote for the poisonous sores, and I might spare your life. Do you think these guards can kill us? You're a sickly weakling , he's an old man with bones , and this good-for-nothing son I've already raised is useless. Do you think you can fight your way out of the slaughter of a hundred elite guards ? Zhao'er's wife, give her the antidote and go. Your Highness , I was blind. I brought this trouble upon myself. Don't implicate other innocent people. Your Highness, you're wrong. People like her, who are obsessed with power… A villain who can feign innocence for twenty years has no credibility whatsoever. Even if I hand over the antidote, she won't let us go. My wife , I appreciate your willingness to live and die with me, but you can't give her the antidote when something happens. If she dares to break her promise, I'll fight her to the death. Husband, when I poisoned them, I never intended to let them go. There was no antidote at all ; you didn't even leave yourself a way out. My wife, you love me so much! Have you finished talking? If you keep dragging this out, none of you will survive. Did you think I lured you into a trap without any preparation? What do you mean? You want to tempt my daughter? Ask Tang's knife . General Tang, my wife , you still have this trick up your sleeve. The resources of your family that you've built up with such difficulty cannot be wasted. General Tang, you've shown me such great kindness today. "I will surely repay you handsomely in the future , Prince Ning. You're too kind. The General's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are related by marriage; we're practically family, sharing the same fate. General Tang , have you forgotten that it was Tang Liuying who caused you to be homeless and your wife and children to be torn apart? You still want to help her? When this little darling kicked you out of the General's Mansion, did she ever consider the debt of raising you? Liuying has already promised me that as long as I treat her mother well, she will return the land deed to me . A mere house deed is enough to bribe you. If General Tang really needs this small plot of land, I can give you the entire Prince's Mansion, as long as you withdraw your troops. What? You mean the entire Prince's Mansion ? That's right , the Prince's Mansion is the largest and most luxurious mansion in the entire capital. General Tang, aren't you tempted? My wife and father-in-law won't turn against me, will they? With such an unfilial daughter as Tang Liuying, General Tang, why do you still risk your life for her? As long as she gives up , the General's Mansion will naturally be yours ." General Tang, what a glorious position you hold, possessing two of the largest and most luxurious mansions in the entire capital! Don't speak yet, for discretion is the better part of valor. General, from now on we 're in the same boat. The same boat ? What kind of boat? A pirate boat ! I, Tang, have made one mistake after another, and I don't want to continue making the same mistake. Guards , seize Princess Ning and this little darling! Tang Liren, you are utterly foolish , utterly foolish! I , Tang, would never stoop to colluding with you. Then what were you hesitating about just now? I wasn't hesitating, I just didn't understand. You've given me such a large Ningwang mansion, what am I left with? My father's concerns are correct. Princess Ning's generosity suggests there must be an even bigger backer. I didn't; I just wanted to deceive Tang Liren. It's a pity he didn't fall for it. Father, what should we do with these two? In my opinion, let's just kill them on the spot. Tomorrow's birthday banquet is attended by His Majesty and the Crown Prince . If I were to go on a killing spree today, I fear it would cause trouble. Lock them up first. Mother, my legs hurt so much. Why are they keeping me locked up like this? It would be better to just kill me. I'll just have to endure it until tonight. The Ning Prince's Mansion will face annihilation. You've already prepared a backup plan. Those conspiracy letters I had you write in imitation of Lu Zhaoye's handwriting , I've hidden them where no one can find them. Zhao'er , you've suffered so much these years. It's alright , I'm used to it. It's all because your father was blind. I 'm sorry, I'm sorry, Wanwan. Dad, please drink first. I've made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the kitchen. I won't burn it. You can even make soup? My son has really grown up. You 've prepared such a thoughtful gift for your father . Please move aside , don't delay me. I'm bringing soup to my wife, not for me. " Dad, you're getting on in years. Eating too much will make you weak. Can your little wife even drink it? Whether she drinks it or not, I want to make soup for her myself. You brat, now that you have a wife, you've forgotten your father. If she doesn't drink it, I'll bring you more. This is a talisman drawn by my wife. What are you saying? This is a pine and crane longevity painting that I 'm going to present to Prince Ning tomorrow, wishing him a long and prosperous life . Wife, how about we draw something else? Here you go , don't be angry, let me teach you. Wife, look, this is how you hold the brush. Wife's hand can't be too stiff. The crane's neck should be graceful, and the pine branches should be strong. Wife, learn…" Lu Zhaoye, look how fast it's gotten! The ink's all smudged. Are you still going to teach me or not? Of course I'll teach you! Cranes fly in pairs, pines endure and withstand hardship, just like my unending love for my wife. I mean, unending affection. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I 'll draw a turtle on your face with this pen. It seems I 'm going to assert my authority today. I 'll write Lu Zhaoye's name here on my wife's page . Anyone who sees it will know you're mine. You dare? Don't blame me for it falling on its own. That way, everyone will know you're mine at a glance. That's all good. Congratulations on Prince Ning's birthday! Wishing you long and happy life! May your virtue and grace endure forever! I appreciate your kind words . Please , have a seat. Your Highness, Prince Ning, I wish you a prosperous official career and a long life. Thank you, thank you! Please take your seats and join the celebration ! The Emperor has arrived! Greetings , Your Majesty! My dear brother, there's no need for such formalities . Today is your birthday, you are the most honored. Your Majesty, you are truly too kind of me! Your Majesty , please take your seats. You two have worked hard . Today is our Prince's birthday. I've come to bring some refreshments for the Princess. Please do me this favor. You've finally arrived! The Emperor has arrived ! Princess, hurry and change your clothes in the front hall. Where are those two rascals eating refreshments? Why haven't I seen Princess Ning today? Oh, right, usually at such banquets … The Princess Consort, with her exceptional social skills , provided the most attentive service. " Your Majesty , I am unwell and recuperating at home. Please , Your Majesty, save my life!" " Isn't this Princess Consort Ning? What happened to her face?" "Help the Princess Consort away! Don't touch me ! " "Your Majesty, Prince Ning wants to kill me to silence me!" " What? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your wife is afflicted with a serious illness! I've disturbed you ! I'll send someone to take her back immediately! " "Wait!" "Princess Consort Ning has always doted on me since childhood. If you truly have any grievances, please speak frankly. The Crown Prince is right. " "Princess Consort Ning, you just said Prince Ning wants to kill you because I discovered evidence of treason within the Prince Ning's household . You're lying! Treason !" But this is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family! Zhao'er, things have come to this, so confess your guilt. Originally, you could have inherited the fiefdom and become a vassal king, but because you were fond of playing as a child and didn't want to be bound by authority , you voluntarily gave it up. But now that you've grown up, you regret it, and you've contacted several vassal states in the north, trying to seize the northern lands for yourself! This is absolutely not true! Your Majesty, this poisonous woman is spouting nonsense! I'm not lying! I saw with my own eyes that Lu Zhaoye hid the secret letter of treason, which clearly revealed his plot to divide the land along the river and establish his own kingdom. Where is the letter? It is … I dare not… "Going to fetch me, I fear I'll be killed to silence me. I'd like to see who dares to take me there ! Your Majesty, you cannot blindly believe her one-sided story. I also do not believe Zhaoye would betray the country. Zhaoye , you must beg your father for leniency! The Crown Prince 's words are unreasonable! My husband has done nothing wrong, why should he beg for mercy ? Princess Ning speaks with such certainty. If they find any evidence, Zhaoye will have no chance of escaping! I have done nothing wrong, what crime have I committed? Further discussion is useless. Princess Ning, lead the way… Wait, how did we end up here? What place is this? Answer : This is the ancestral hall where I mourn my deceased wife. Lu Zhaoye used to come here often to see Wan." At first, I also thought he was just missing his mother, but later I discovered that wasn't it. He hid the evidence of treason behind this painting. You're making baseless accusations; the truth is obvious at a glance. Where did this come from ? It 's hidden so well. Is there something fishy going on? Open it… wait a minute… This box can't be opened. Why do I say that? The contents of this box are unsightly and might offend His Majesty. The more you try to hide it, the more it shows that the Ning Prince's Mansion has ulterior motives. Zhao Ye, you've disappointed me too much. You've failed Father's expectations for the Ning Prince's Mansion. The contents of this box are indeed something that cannot be exposed to the light of day. Zhao Ye, if you want a fiefdom and to be a king, you should just petition Father directly. Why are you secretly colluding with an enemy country? Your Highness, you are foolish! Secretly colluding with the enemy and harboring clandestine letters is a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family! Impossible! My son, my son is not that kind of person! Then why did Tang Liuying and Lu Zhaoye obstruct us in every way? I beg Your Majesty to open the box and investigate thoroughly! I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly! Indeed , there is a secret letter! My husband, what can we do? My wife, now that things have come to this, we can only admit that you secretly colluded with the enemy and wreaked havoc on the court. Your Majesty, I beg you to behead Lu Zhaoye and display his head to the public. Shen Qingci said, "Did you hide this box? How could it be me? I am just a woman. I can't get a fiefdom or become emperor. But you and your son are different! You have long harbored ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would the calls for restoration grow stronger? Stop talking nonsense, Prince Ning. It seems you've been eyeing this position for a long time. Your Majesty , my son and I are loyal and devoted, as the sun and moon can attest. You're about to die, and you're still trying to argue. You two should just beg for mercy. I 'll leave you with a complete corpse! Father, Zhaoye must have been confused for a moment. Father, have mercy! My husband , I only hand-painted a few pictures. Is it really that serious? My wife , your paintings are indeed unsightly. His Majesty is of noble birth. If he really saw your scribbles, he would be very uneasy. What scribbles ? Just those? What… what is this? This is actually a pine and crane painting I wanted to present to Prince Ning. " I spent all night working on this birthday painting, and it's truly unsightly. I had no choice but to give it to Madam Yuan and ask her for some guidance. It was all a misunderstanding, Your Highness. Don't panic, Your Highness. Although your paintings and doodles are not presentable, as long as it's for Prince Ning's birthday, he won't mind. You haven't committed any serious crime. Why would I mind? My daughter-in-law is innocent and carefree. Even if she drew me a turtle or a bastard, I would still like it. How could it be that the evidence I hid turned into this piece of junk? It 's really a painting of pine and cranes. There are words and a poem on it . This isn't a painting; there are words on it. Lu Zhaoye, now you're in trouble . Let me read it. Your Highness , today I chased away three young ladies who wanted to bring you sachets. I was so angry that I stuffed eighteen itching powder sachets under your pillow . But when I was holding your pillow at night and daydreaming , I secretly replaced them with calming osmanthus sachets. It's unsightly , but it was just some bedroom fun . Please forgive me, everyone. The secret letter was indeed well hidden, but unfortunately, it ran into me, a transmigrator. Today 's events are all my fault. I was too hasty and almost misunderstood my brother. Your Majesty, I'm afraid you 're alright. "My father is magnanimous and would never blame you for not being wronged. But I truly don't understand why the Princess Consort has unjustly accused you. You vicious woman, you dare to climb the social ladder to become a prince, your crime deserves death . Crown Prince, stop! What are you doing? If it's truly a matter of conviction, His Majesty hasn't even spoken . What right do you have to overstep your bounds ? Your father is wise. I acted rashly in my anger, trying to defend Zhaoye and lost my composure . The culprit is indeed guilty, but she is, after all, the wife of Prince Ning. Let Prince Ning's mansion handle this matter themselves. Thank you, Crown Prince. Do you have any other concerns ? I have none. When did you switch the contents of the box? Last night, I burned all the letters that Lu Mingyu wrote in imitation of my husband's handwriting . I hid them so well. My wife, although I've been playing along with your act , I'm actually quite curious about how you found the secret box. Well, of course, it was Lady Yuan who told me in a dream. That 's utter nonsense! Mother, thank you for your protection, my little darling. You believe such absurd things? I believe whatever my wife says. She also said that you have the Eastern Palace behind you, right ? No. If I implicate the Crown Prince , no one else can take you in." " You think I wouldn't know about your Eastern Palace's conspiracies if you didn't tell me ? What are you thinking? I've already let Lu Mingyu go. Who will he go to? We'll see . You, Xiao Liu, said Lu Mingyu escaped from the Prince's Mansion and ran straight to this Qianjin Gambling House. What are you talking about? My wife, I swore I would never set foot in a gambling house again. What time is it? You still come in with me? My wife, your grip is really strong. You're in better shape. I know Boss Meng is the Crown Prince's confidant. I beg you to help me. I want to see the Crown Prince. Who do you think you are? You dare to see the Crown Prince? I was once fortunate enough to serve in the Eastern Palace and advise the Crown Prince. Then tell me what good deeds you've done. At the martial arts tournament , I prepared the armor with hidden ice needles for the Crown Prince . It was him! Although I couldn't help the Crown Prince , at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet , I helped Tang Ruyi poison him. And then , and then , and then, it ruined the Crown Prince's scheme to win over the General's Mansion and angered him. Although I didn't help the Crown Prince these two times , my mother hid the secret letter of treason in the Ning Prince's Mansion. " It was I who imitated Lu Zhaoye's handwriting that wrote the letter. The Crown Prince promised me that if things went well, he would make me a king and grant me a fiefdom in the north. So what if things didn't go well? How come those little darlings were still having a feast when I escaped from the Ning Prince's mansion and had no idea… "They are about to suffer a great calamity! You scoundrel ! Your Majesty, Crown Prince , how dare you commit such a heinous act ! How dare you commit such a heinous act ! How could my father and the Emperor be here? After learning that Lu Mingyu had entered the gambling den, I had the Prince invite His Majesty here under the guise of tea tasting and philosophical discussion. My wife, you are my… those two outside the gate, stop whispering and come in. This commoner, guided by the Crown Prince's wife, has abandoned darkness for light, only to expose that villain who is wreaking havoc on the court . Please, Your Majesty, calm your anger. The villain you speak of is actually my own son whom I raised! Your Majesty, take care, my dear brother ! Your Majesty , I have never been a capable ruler. Since I sat on that dragon throne that did not belong to me, my beloved wife has suffered terribly in the harem's intrigues. I have also contracted an incurable disease due to overwork . My only son is also useless. This is all retribution! Your Majesty, you must not say such things. To put my mind at ease, you did not have a second child besides Zhaoye , and even let him become a… but I have raised a tiger that will soon become a threat." It's not too late to remedy the chaos in the country , Your Majesty. I still have half a Phoenix Blood Fungus; it can surely save you. My days are numbered ; it's time to lay down this burden and repent to the late Emperor. This country should be yours now. Your Majesty issues an imperial decree to depose the Crown Prince and execute him immediately. It's all over! Your Majesty, what should be done with this person ? Lingchi (death by a thousand cuts) ! Tang Liuying, you might as well give me a quick death ! Don't rush me! I will repay every single one of your carefully crafted schemes on behalf of my husband. Three thousand six hundred cuts, even one less cut is my fault for the poor hospitality of the Prince Ning's Mansion. Miss , no, no , no, Crown Princess ! My God, I don't even know how to address you anymore ! No matter how I address you , you can't be the Crown Princess! That villainous Crown Prince , didn't he just give up after being deposed? But the Prince Ning has ascended the throne! The Crown Prince is now the Crown Prince, so you are the Crown Princess! What ? Am I dreaming? How could this be? Are you awake? Now you know you're not dreaming, right? I've painstakingly planned and schemed for over twenty years… If I'd known I could become Empress just by lying down, why did I bother? Someone, drag me away! No , no, I am the Empress ! I am the Empress! My husband, my wife ! My husband heard you became the Crown Prince and immediately packed his things to move into the East Palace with me. Oh , and several court officials sent me portraits of their daughters, saying I should choose a few as concubines. So, this robe you're wearing is for those beautiful women to see. The smell of jealousy can even waft over the walls! I dressed up like a peacock to please my wife's eyes. And what do you plan to do with those daughters the officials sent ? Send them all to the Imperial Kitchen to make vinegared cabbage for my wife! You rascal , put me down ! I won't let you go ! I'll never let you go!
