00:00Whose voice was that?
00:03Who was confessing to me?
00:06Was that Yang Wuchi?
00:11Did he just kiss me?
00:13Why does my heart suddenly feel so warm?
00:16No, I can't open my eyes yet.
00:22Your Majesty, Empress Dowager!
00:24Forgive this servant's sudden interruption!
00:31Speak!
00:33What has happened?
00:35Consort Lin has collapsed.
00:37The Imperial physicians cannot determine the cause.
00:40His Majesty has ordered the banquet to conclude.
00:43He remains beside Consort Lin.
00:46So it worked.
00:48Lin Xuan has finally fallen.
00:51Let's see who can save you now.
00:56So, Consort Lu has finally made his move.
01:01Interesting.
01:03But knowing Lin Xuan,
01:07this game may not end as easily as you expect.
01:12I'll simply watch.
01:16Consort Lin,
01:18how could this happen?
01:20He looked perfectly fine just moments ago.
01:23I only hope he's safe.
01:27Consort Lin collapsed?
01:29How could that happen?
01:31No wonder His Majesty left the banquet so suddenly.
01:34This palace is never short of surprises.
01:36Consort Lin suddenly collapsed.
01:39Yet no one knows the cause.
01:41This doesn't feel like mere coincidence.
01:43Someone has already made their move.
01:47A healthy man doesn't collapse without reason.
01:50If even the Imperial physicians cannot explain it,
01:53then this matter is far more complicated than it seems.
01:57It appears.
02:00I only hope.
02:03Consort Lin recovers safely.
02:07Lin Xuan collapsed?
02:09What has that child done this time?
02:12Don't tell me he's caused another incident.
02:18But if even the Emperor left the banquet,
02:20then perhaps something truly happened to him.
02:26It seems heaven has finally answered my prayers.
02:32You should have stayed forgotten.
02:35Never wake up again.
02:37So, you've finally fallen.
02:40Without lifting a finger,
02:42my greatest obstacle may have disappeared.
02:45How fortunate.
02:49Today's banquet ends here.
02:51Everyone shall return to their residences immediately.
02:53His Majesty must attend to Consort Lin.
02:55You are dismissed.
03:11Xiaolan.
03:12You've done well.
03:13The entire palace is already talking about it.
03:19Consort Lin collapsed exactly as I expected.
03:23Seems the poison has taken effect.
03:27Yes, young master.
03:30I followed your instructions exactly.
03:33The poison was mixed into the teapot.
03:38No one suspected a thing.
03:42Everything was carried out according to your plan.
03:51Very good.
03:54Now, all we have to do is wait.
03:59Wait for him to succumb completely.
04:01Wait for His Majesty's grief to consume him when he is left with no one else.
04:05I will be there.
04:08I will comfort him.
04:11And in the end, His Majesty will finally realize that I am the only one worthy of standing by his
04:16side.
04:19Have you heard?
04:21Consort Lin collapsed during the banquet?
04:24Consort Lin?
04:25Which Consort Lin?
04:28The one favored by His Majesty.
04:30Consort Lin from the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
04:33That Consort Lin.
04:35What happened to him?
04:39No one knows the exact cause.
04:41They only say Consort Lin suddenly collapsed.
04:43Even the Imperial Physicians have yet to find the reason.
04:45Even the Imperial Physicians?
04:47I've heard His Majesty hasn't left Consort Lin's side.
04:50He's been personally watching over him.
04:53His Majesty himself?
04:54He hasn't even returned to the Imperial Court?
04:57Not once.
04:59For two days now.
05:00He's refused to leave Consort Lin.
05:02I've served in this palace for years.
05:04I've never seen His Majesty care for anyone like this.
05:18According to the servants, Consort Lin still hasn't regained consciousness.
05:24I heard the same.
05:26He looked perfectly well during the banquet.
05:30How could someone suddenly collapse like that?
05:34Whatever happened, I only hope nothing serious has befallen him.
05:40He has done nothing deserving of such suffering.
05:45Gentlemen.
05:48Speculation has never uncovered the truth.
05:50Until the Imperial Physicians determine the cause.
05:54Everything we say remains mere conjecture.
05:59For now, we should simply pray for Consort Lin's recovery.
06:05Interesting.
06:07You all seem rather concerned for Consort Lin.
06:11Especially you, Consort Wei.
06:14You humiliated Consort Lin before His Majesty.
06:17Now he lies unconscious, yet you smile.
06:20Tell me.
06:21Why does his suffering seem to please you so?
06:26What is Consort Lin's condition to do with me?
06:28Do I owe anyone here an explanation?
06:31You and Consort Lin have only crossed paths a handful of times.
06:34Yet you defend him so passionately.
06:38Could it be?
06:41You've grown rather fond of him?
06:46Consort Zhang.
06:49Words spoken carelessly often wound deeper than blades.
06:55Consort Wei merely spoke out of compassion.
07:00There is no reason to mistake kindness for affection.
07:05Consort Zhang, no one here has accused you of harming Consort Lin.
07:10But everyone present witnessed what transpired during the Banquet Act.
07:15You alone openly humiliated him before His Majesty.
07:20It is only natural that your conduct would invite suspicion.
07:24How amusing.
07:26A few whispers from frightened servants, and suddenly everyone here believes themselves capable of judging me.
07:34Have you all become imperial judges overnight?
07:37If compassion alone is enough to condemn a man, then none of us in this palace are truly innocent.
07:44Be careful.
07:46The next person these palace rumors point toward may very well be one of you.
07:54Please.
07:56We are all fellow consorts serving His Majesty.
08:00Consort Lin's condition is already troubling enough.
08:04There is no need for us to quarrel among ourselves.
08:07Should His Majesty learn of this?
08:11I fear none of us would escape his displeasure.
08:34The last thing I remember was leaving the banquet hall, wanting a moment alone.
08:40I fear none of us would escape his displeasure.
08:43I fear none of us would escape his displeasure.
08:44Lin Xuan, you are awake.
08:49You finally awakened.
08:59Lin Xuan, you are awake.
09:00Your Majesty.
09:02Don't move.
09:03You've only just awakened.
09:06Lie still.
09:07Don't move.
09:08Don't move.
09:08He's being so gentle.
09:11He's being so gentle.
09:11Every movement.
09:14So careful.
09:18As if I might break
09:21As if I might disappear if he lets go
09:30You've been unconscious for five days
09:33Do you know how frightened you made me?
09:39For a moment
09:41I truly thought I was going to lose you
09:44Never
09:44Never make me endure that fear again
09:50As long as I live
09:55I will never let anything happen to you
09:58The Imperial Physician said your body has already recovered
10:01Yet
10:03You refuse to wake
10:05For five whole days
10:08Can you feel it?
10:11My heart belongs to you
10:19You're the first person who has ever made me
10:24Fear losing someone
10:29Is magic
10:31Is trembling
10:34Was he truly this worried about me?
10:40I don't ask for anything in return
10:44I only ask
10:45That you stay with me
10:49Let me protect you
10:52Let me remain by your side
10:55For as long as you'll allow me
10:58Five days
11:00He never left
11:02This isn't something an emperor would do lightly
11:05Every word he spoke
11:08Every action
11:10Was sincere
11:12Yan Wu Ji
11:14What am I supposed to do with feelings like yours?
11:31Forgive this servant your majesty
11:33The ministers have already assembled
11:35The Imperial court urgently awaits your majesty
11:37You barged into my private chambers without permission. Such disrespect.
11:49This servant deserves punishment, Your Majesty, but the matter is urgent.
11:54The ministers dare not delay today's court session any longer.
12:00I shall deal with you later. You may leave.
12:19Rest well. I'll return as soon as court is over. I won't be gone for long.
12:31Five days. Yet inside the spiritual realm, it felt like only a single day.
12:39Time truly flows differently between worlds.
12:44And during all that time, he stayed beside me.
12:52Yan Wuji, you really are an unbelievable man.
13:02Young Master, thank goodness. You're finally awake. I was so worried.
13:11Silly girl. I'm alright now. You don't need to cry.
13:18Young Master, His Majesty forbade everyone from entering these chambers.
13:26No one was allowed to disturb your rest.
13:28For five whole days, His Majesty personally watched over you.
13:40Young Master, His Majesty even postponed several court sessions.
13:45The ministers waited every day.
13:48But His Majesty refused to leave your bedside.
13:52No matter how many times they came to report, He only cared about whether you would wake up.
14:02The affairs of the Empire should have come before everything else.
14:06Yet he chose to remain here, Ella.
14:10Yan Wuji.
14:14I don't know what I'm meant to do with feelings like these.
14:19Young Master, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long.
14:24Please wait here.
14:25I'll prepare something warm for you immediately.
14:31I am a little hungry.
14:34Thank you, Mei.
14:39Very well, Young Master.
14:41Please wait for a little while.
14:43I'll bring your meal immediately.
14:48Have you heard?
14:50Consort Lin has finally awakened!
14:52Really?
14:53Young Master Lin is finally awake?
14:58The news came directly from His Majesty's private chambers.
15:02The Imperial Physician has already confirmed it.
15:05Thank heavens.
15:06No wonder the palace feels alive again.
15:09For five whole days,
15:12His Majesty never left Young Master Lin's bedside.
15:16He even postponed court several times.
15:20He truly stayed beside him.
15:25All that time?
15:28It seems Young Master Lin truly holds a special place in His Majesty's heart.
15:33I've never seen His Majesty care for anyone like this before.
15:36The whole palace will be talking about it today.
15:45The whole palace will be talking about it today.
15:51Everything has gone perfectly.
15:54Lin Xun should be dead by now.
15:56Or permanently broken.
16:01You, Young Master!
16:03Urgent news has just arrived!
16:10What news?
16:14Consort Lin has awakened.
16:20What did you just say?
16:22Lin Xun is awake?
16:26Impossible.
16:28He should have been dead.
16:30There is no way he survived that poison.
16:34Bring Xiao Lan here!
16:36Immediately!
16:39Young Master, Xiao Lan has been brought before you.
16:48Lin Xun has awakened.
16:50So tell me,
16:51did you truly carry out my orders?
16:53Did you poison the tea?
16:58Young Master,
17:00yes, I did.
17:01I swear I did.
17:03I poured the poison into the teapot exactly as you instructed.
17:09My fully,
17:11I truly know how he survived.
17:14The poison was supposed to be deadly.
17:20Worthless.
17:21I entrusted such an important task to you.
17:25And you still failed.
17:29Guards,
17:30come forward.
17:37Take her away.
17:48Young Master,
17:50please forgive me.
17:51Please,
17:53give this servant one more chance.
17:55I beg you.
17:57Young Master,
17:59please,
18:01I don't want to die.
18:03Please forgive me.
18:07Young Master,
18:09please,
18:10I don't want to die.
18:14Please forgive me.
18:16I don't want to die.
18:18How?
18:20How?
18:21How did you survive?
18:23Why?
18:24Why did you refuse to die?
18:27I planned everything perfectly.
18:30The poison was prepared.
18:33Xiao Lan carried out my orders.
18:35Everything was flawless.
18:36us. Yet you survived. You always survive. Linxuan, this isn't over. This is only the beginning.
18:54You won't escape me a second time. I will destroy you. I will make you suffer. And when
19:03I'm finished, even his majesty will regret protecting you.
19:16So I've truly become Linxuan. This world is far more dangerous than I expected. One careless
19:22move and it will cost me my life. I want justice. I want the Lin family to answer for everything
19:32they did. Just from everything that happened at the banquet, I'll need a careful plan.
19:43Taking down the Lin family won't be easy. In the world of assassins, taking down a powerful
19:50enemy requires patience, precision, and perfect timing. I may no longer have my rifles or the
20:00weapons I once relied on. But that doesn't mean I've become powerless. After my sudden collapse,
20:09the Emperor has tightened the security around Peach Blossom Courtyard. If I want to carry
20:14out my plan, I'll have to leave this residence. I need to find the tools I'll need. And Consort
20:22Liu, now that his first plan has failed, he definitely won't stop here. I need to stay one step ahead
20:31of him.
20:38Young Master, you must be tired. I've prepared a hot bath for you.
20:48Thank you, Mei. That was very thoughtful of you.
20:56Something doesn't feel right. Lin Xuan's sudden collapse. It wasn't an accident.
21:05Your Majesty, you concluded court over an hour ago. You should take some time to rest.
21:12Consort Lin is safe now.
21:16Head eunuch. Don't you find Lin Xuan's sudden collapse rather strange?
21:25I want this matter investigated. But do it in secret. Make sure no one becomes aware.
21:35Yes, Your Majesty. This old servant understands. I shall investigate quietly. No one will learn of Your Majesty's orders.
21:44Inform the guards and the palace maids. Prepare to accompany me. I wish to see Lin Xuan. It's time I
21:54checked on him personally.
21:55But I'm not afraid.
22:01Young Master, the bath is ready. The water has been prepared at the perfect temperature.
22:11Thank you, Mei. You've taken great care of everything. I appreciate it.
22:16I can manage the rest myself.
22:48I'll see you next time on the night.
22:48I have Everyone.
23:22I'm back.
