Chronicle of Life
Episode Four
What are you looking at?
Give it back. It's mine.
What's this?
Lin Lang, want to know a secret?
But you can't tell anyone else.
Sir Nalan gave this to me.
Sir Nalan?
You know each other?
It's just destiny. He... he even held my hand today.
Lin Lang, you are smart and you can read.
Can you please tell me what these characters say?
(sigh)
They are a couple for life. But they are separated. They miss each other, which takes the souls of both.
Watch each other and think about each other, while they can't get close. Why does the sky still offer spring time, when they are suffering?
Someone begged at Lan Bridge and finds a lover, which makes begging easy to stand. Someone flew to the moon and became immortal, which makes meeting her lover hard.
If we can meet at the Milky Way like Niu Lang and Zhi Nu, even if we are going to be poor, we will still feel blessed. [Note: Everything said were all references to ancient Chinese folk tales.]
Sir Nalan is so talented.
If he could write such an emotional poem for me one day,
I would die for it.
Give it to me.
The Yin Tuo Luo San plan of poisoning failed.
I reminded you a long time ago.
Isn't it because you behaved ruthless
and revealed our traces?
Why don't we come up with something else?
Making use of someone to do the murder is faster and easier than poisoning.
Are you doubting me?
Keep in mind that you are a degraded eunuch.
Do you still regard yourself as a prince?
Just do whatever you were told to.
Yes.
What's going on?
I don't want to see you. Disappear!
You don't want to see me?
Don't you want to see it?
I didn't fool you, right?
I just want to see if the rabbit recovered.
Okay, here you go.
Bunny, you fully recovered, right?
Then you can go back to see your parents.
- Here we go, bunny.- Hey, wait...
What? It's all set and the bunny can go home.
Because...
Because I like this bunny.
I want to keep it.
Are you depriving its freedom merely because you like it?
No.
I think this bunny also likes me.
The bunny wants to stay with me. Right, bunny?
Hey!
Give the bunny back!
How can you be so ridiculous!
Rabbits have family and want freedom. How can you imprison this one?
I just like it.
I'm going to keep it.
I'll be happy if I can see it everyday.
You... If you don't give me the bunny, I won't talk with you anymore!
Hmm!
Even if you don't talk to me, I'll come for you.
I don't want to see you again!
Is this girl the one Your Majesty feels familiar?
I have been looking for her in the crowd many times.
And she is right at the corner.
Congratulations!
Why did you ask for me, Your Majesty?
We had a deal. We are going to do horse racing today.
I'll be there!
I will not lose! This way.
Clean all these up!
If anything goes wrong during the horse racing,
you all are dead!
Your Majesty, here comes your horse.
His Majesty!
Get out of the way!
Are you okay?
Why are you giving me trouble again!
Are you alright?
I may have gotten hurt when I fell.
- Don't move. - Then why did you move me!
What are you doing?
Don't move.
Are you really a girl?
You have no right to blame me.If you are not good at riding a horse, then don't.
You might kill people.
Are you saying I'm not good at riding horses?
Don't you know that...
Why are your hands so rough?
Maids of Xin Zhe Ku hand wash clothes everyday. Everyone's hands are rough.
- You are all done. - Thanks
How did you know to wrap it this way?
That's none of your business. Go visit your doctor friend.
Let him see if your bone is fine.
Can you please tell me
how come you know how to wrap it this way?
Warning, I helped you simply because you are in trouble.
Don't desire more. Bye now.
Your Majesty's wrist was sprained.
Although there is an open wound, it won't be a big deal. Please don't put pressure on it for a few days and it will be fine.
Your Majesty, I didn't perform my responsibility of protecting you. Please forgive me.
It isn't your fault. Stand up.
Okay. It's alright. You can leave now.
Yes.
The leaders of the guards, Chen A Tai and Hai Da Gui want to meet with His Majesty.
Let them in.
We are here for punishments.
Because of our mistake, the tracks were not fully cleared.
We deserve the death penalty.
Who was responsible for clearing the tracks today?
To respond Your Majesty, it was my responsibility. I deserve the death penalty.
Your Majesty, Commander Hai was sick this morning.
He asked me to clear the tracks for him.
It was my fault. I would like to take it all by myself.
No, Your Majesty. It was my responsibility.
It has nothing to do with Commander Chen. Please punish me.
Fine.
Since you both are willing to take the responsibility, and it's the first time,
you will have no salary for three months and you each will be beat by planks for twenty times.
- Go ahead.- Thank you, Your Majesty.
What's wrong with you?
I asked you to clear the tracks and you almost got me killed!
How can you blame me?
It's you who got drunk and missed the shift.
I didn't drink!
I had diarrhea. I trusted you so much.
But you didn't take my life seriously.
What do you mean? Then why did you ask for my help?
I wouldn't have helped you if we were not old friends.
What do you mean!
If you didn't want to do it, you should have made it clear. I didn't force you to do it.
What the hell!
What do you want!
Don't touch me.
I said the tracks were clear.
If you don't believe me, go check again!
Alright. I'll go check.
If I find another trap or something,
don't blame me for being callous and not regarding you as a friend.
Let's go.Let's go the other way, don't join them!
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Keep looking!
- Yes. - Look carefully!
Look carefully!
The tracks were absolutely clear.
How could there have been a trap?
Who's there?
Halt!
Who are you?
Someone who wants revenge on you.
Why didn't either of the two officers come back?
I have no idea.
(indistinguishable chatter)
Sir!
How's it go? Did you find any traps?
To respond to you, no.
I don't believe what he said.
It was just him being careless and I was punished because of him.
Commander Chen didn't come back, Commander Hai. Should we go find him?
What the hell? He doesn't dare to see me.
No pity for him even if he dies. Let's go!
Why are your hands so rough?
Maids of Xin Zhe Ku hand wash clothes everyday. Everyone's hands are rough.
De!
It's my order,
give a bottle of sheep oil ointment to every maid of Xin Zhe Ku.
And give them that from time to time in the future.
Yes.
Your Majesty, you are not only handsome but also considerate. It's lucky for the Qing Dynasty to have you as the Emperor.
Stop flattering me.
Ahhh, what's wrong Your Majesty?
- Is the imperial doctor's wrapping not good enough?- Shut up.
Lin Lang...
Sir, this time, who's the girl you plan to hold hands with?
Sorry.
Why are you sorry?Can you give me another poem?
Sir! I haven't finished talking yet!
Hey!
Sorry.
Sorry...
Looks like my hand is not going to heal anymore.
Sorry, I didn't mean it.
Then look at it for me again.
Don't you have a doctor friend?
He surely will be better than me.
An imperial physician, of course, must serve the Emperor.How can he have time to take care of me?
Just treat it as charity work,
help me bandage it again.
Say, a guard like you is always free like this everyday.
Don't they give you anything to do?
The Emperor knew that I'm wounded so he let me rest for a few days.
Then what do you guards usually do?
We usually...
Whatever His Majesty wants us to do, that's what we do.
Then everyday... how long do you go on guard duty?
This is hard to say.Sometimes we are very busy.
But other times, we don't have much to do.
Then... are you able to eat properly everyday?Do you all get hungry?
Are you able to sleep well?Is it hard?
Don't worry.
I get to eat very well and sleep very well.
It's not a bit hard.
Then that's good.
How is the Emperor's mood?
The Emperor's mood is very good.
How do you say it?
I have never seen a better Emperor than he is.
Then that's good.
Hey, why are you so worried about me?
What nonsense are you saying?
I want to ask you... why do you know this kind of knot?
Then why do you know how to eat?
Why are the questions you are asking so boring?
Aren't your questions also boring?
Fine. I won't ask this anymore.I'll ask an unrelated question.
Aside from your name Wei Lin Lang,do you have any other names?
Like a nickname or something like that.Is there any?
None.
- How about aliases? Are there any?- None.
Why are you so annoying? I need to go back to work.You better also go back now.
And also, stop appearing in front of me.
When I see you, I'll most likely get into trouble.
So you don't want your rabbit anymore?
If you don't want the rabbit anymore then I can add him as food in my meal tonight.
You wouldn't dare?!
If you want the rabbit, tomorrow night meet me beneath the peach tree and I'll give it back to you.
If you don't want it anymore,then I'll be having rabbit hot pot then.
I am worried, Your Majesty.
I remembered bandaging it well
but this wound seems to be worsening.
It worsened?
You imperial physician, how are you treating Your Majesty?
This...
Your Majesty... are you feeling okay, Your Majesty?
It's fine.
Don't be nervous.
Come, just change the medicines and it's fine.
Your Majesty...
Yes.
Thank you, Eunuch.
Give me one... give me...
It smells good.
Hey, Lin Lang, you are just in time.
Sister Lin Lang, here.
We don't know what holiday is today
but the Emperor has ordered to give us lotion every month.
His Majesty really knows how to be sensitive to other's needs.
This pair of soft hands of mine finally are saved.
His Majesty really treats us well.It's so fragrant.
It's really fragrant.
I won again.
Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind.
I've met someone who's very similar to the person that I've been looking for.
Your Majesty must have been fated to meet that person.
If you are fated, despite long distances,
you will still have the chance to meet again.
You're right.
But you must have the will so that there will be fate.
Whether she is the really the one I'm looking for,
I still have to personally investigate it more.
Come.
Come...
Come... Continue...
Sir, there's trouble.Something happened to the Commander.
- What?- The Commander was killed?
Let's go.
Commander Chen has been...
After cleaning the racing field yesterday,
Commander Chen had already been missing.
I thought that he had already went back by himself.
But I never thought
- I really never thought...- Sir...
Why must I had fought with him?
I regret it.
If I just went back and looked for him,
then this accident wouldn't have happened.
It's all my fault.
Just because of a moment's anger,
I lost a friend of many years.
Sir, condolences.
The few of you, please escort Commander Hai back to his tent.
Yes.
Sir...
Let's go, Commander.
All of you get out.
Yes.
Wait.
Let the kitchen send me some wine.
Yes.
Your Majesty, I think that the Commander's death was not an accident.
- Why do you say so?- I carefully inspected the wounds of the Commander.
I noticed that there's a different wound in his chest.
It's not due to the bamboo.
It's most likely caused by the killer first using a sharp object then afterwards fatally wounding the Commander
deliberately making a fake crime scene like this.
Your Majesty.
A guard is here saying that he has information regarding Commander Chen's death
that he wants to relay to Your Majesty.
Send him in.
Send in!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
What is it that you want to report?
Yesterday, Sir Hai brought the guards to check the field
but he didn't take the same path as Commander Chen.
In the middle, he left for a while before coming back.
How long did he leave?
Around one cup of tea long.(This is around five minutes.)
Send for Hai Da Guei.I have something to ask him.
Yes.
Sir, your wine.
Why are you still here?
Sir, I'm just afraid that later when you get drunk,
- no one will be here to serve you.- You...
You must really want to know who I am, right?
Let me tell you.
My name is Asihai.
Chahar banner leader - Abunai's son.
How dare you unruly citizen!
What is it?Did you remember something?
Do you feel a little scared right now?
Do you know why you suddenly had diarrhea?
Kill!
Don't leave anyone alive.
Why would there be a trap in the race course?
Why did Commander Chen suddenly die?
So it was you...
Right, all of this was done by me.
You...you are Ah Si Hai?
You... what do you want?
Let me tell you a secret again.
You are about to die.
Sir Hai...Hai...
- Have you seen Sir Hai?- Sir Nalan.
No, we didn't.
Sir Hai!
Sir Hai! Don't!
Don't!
Sir Hai...
I must see the person if he is alive, the corpse if he is dead.
Look for it!
Hai Da Guei jumped off the cliff?
The rumor outside right now is that after killing Commander Chen,
Hai Da Guai killed himself to repent.
Why is that?
A lot of people saw them fight at the race course.
- So...- That's impossible.
They have been with me for so many years
and their relationship with each other is very good.
I don't believe that they are these kind of people.
Something's amiss in this...
I have been working with Hai Da Guei for so many years.
Although he is quite impulsive, he is very loyal.
He is indeed not like that.
Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this to the end.
Rong Ruo, do another thing for me.
Console Chen Ah Tai and Hai Da Guei's family.
- Take care of their future needs.- Yes.

Bad brother!Have you prepared my birthday gift?
Father and mother usually like you the most.I've given way for you a lot of times already.
So I won't be giving you any present from today on anymore, OK?
Ah Si Hai, you're the older brother.
You should usually give way to your little sister.
Hear that?Mother wants you to give way to me more.
Have only one gulp of this Xin Re La (a type of drink),
leave the rest to me.
Why should I?
Because today is my birthday.
You really got some nerve!
Do you know by doing that, you're causing a lot of people to be killed?
They are all my enemies.
I cannot live with them in the same world.
Our aim is to kill the Emperor.
You only killed the Emperor's two claws.What is there to be proud of about that?
What if they get alerted and something happens?
I will not save you.
I made sure that this was done very cleanly.
They will never find out anything.
Yu Gu Gu!
Yu Gu Gu, are you also here to hide from the rain?
Right.
But who were you talking to a while ago?How come he's suddenly gone.
There's no one.You must have heard it wrong.
Looks like the rain has weakened.I need to deliver these clothes quickly.
Just stay here for a little while.Go out a little while later.
- I'll go on ahead.- Okay.
Kill her.
No.
I never thought that Gu Gu has a tender moment.
I don't have one.
Gu Gu, don't forget.
People like us have no right to be kind to others.
If we don't kill her, it might be us who will die tomorrow.
Gu Gu wouldn't want to destroy Master's plan, right?
I would think of a way.
Before she gets the chance to report us,I hope Gu Gu can
make the right decision.
Gu Gu, don't forget.
People like us have no right to be kind to others.
If we don't kill her, then it might be us who will die tomorrow.
Gu Gu wouldn't want to destroy Master's plan, right?
- You just know how to eat. You're getting fat.
- Who says so.
Sister, are you ok?
Lin Lang, what's wrong?
I was careless and got burned.Yu Gu Gu got soaked in the rain earlier.
I happened to be free so I wanted to cook her some ginger soup
but I carelessly spilled it.
I... I'll make you another bowl, Yu Gu Gu.
Your Majesty is here!
- Greetings, Your Majesty!- Get up.
Reporting to you Your Majesty, I have already checked Sir Hai's corpse.
He definitely died from the fall.
You can go now.
This is what he was wearing then?
Yes.
- Check it.- Yes.
His inner shirt has been crumpled and shredded
but the outer wear has no signs of trauma.
This is not right.
Your Majesty is brilliant.I didn't think of this.
Someone must have put on these clothes after his death.
Your Majesty's meaning is...
Sir Hai was murdered?
That is only my guess.
Rong Ruo, investigate thoroughly.
The night Hai Da Guei died, look for any suspicious persons.
Yes.
What's your name?
My name is Chang Qing.
Minister Ming Zhu, following the Emperor's verbal order, we have already killed all the rebels.
Please check and count them.
By verbal order of the Emperor: Starting today, to all of the eunuchs and maids in this camp,
if you notice anyone suspicious,
please report it immediately to the guards and you will be heavily rewarded.
Yes.
Disperse now.
Get all the clothes.Let's wash them near the river.
Yes, Gu Gu.
Yu Gu Gu.
The two of you leave first.
Yes.
- What's going on?- I don't know.
Yu Gu Gu, have you recently gotten medicines from the pharmacy?
Yes.
Does that medicine contain cinnabar?
Yes.
What's the cinnabar for?
I've been having nightmares recently.
I've heard from the women doctors at the palace that cinnabar can greatly help,
hence, I went to make a medicine with it.
So how's the effect?
It's okay.
Nothing more.You can go back to work.
Thank you, Gu Gu.
You can go first.
I never thought that Gu Gu treated her own people well.
Why are you looking for me?
That damn Emperor seems to be investigating Hai Da Guei's death.
Who told you to act on your own?Don't expect me to help you.
The damned Emperor seems to be not only investigating the death of the two commanders.
He is also closely investigating the poisoning case.
Have they looked for you?
Gu Gu need not be worried.
I do have a plan that can solve both our problems.
What plan?
Does Gu Gu remember the maid who heard us talking?
Since the Yin Tuo Luo San incident requires a scapegoat,
while I am afraid that she might have seen me,
why don't we blame it all on her.This can solve our current problem quickly
and it will save us from worrying any further.
If Gu Gu still cannot bear to kill her,
then the damn Emperor will be killing us instead.
I got it.I'll think of a way.
Wow! This is fun...
Sister Lin Lang, let us smell yours.
Sister, this is really fragrant.What did you put inside?
I put in ligusticum, perrin, agastache, and po-cheng.
- Let me smell it.- Right.
It's really fragrant.
I've also put in all those that you put in,
how come mine is not as fragrant as yours?
What's so surprising about that?
Don't you always think that Lin Lang's things are always better than yours?
If you want your perfume bag to be fragrant,then give it to Lin Lang as a present.
Stop nagging me.I think yours is not as fragrant as mine.
Who says so?I think my scent pouch has a unique smell.
When it comes to uniqueness, who can beat Yun Chu.
I always feel that her scent pouch has a scent of food.
- Who says so?...- What are you all doing?- Scent of food...
Gu Gu.
We are competing to see whose scent pouch is the most fragrant.
I think you all have too much free time.
The clothes outside are already dry.Hurry and get them.
It's still too early.We'll get them later.
The sun is about to set. Don't be lazy.Hurry and go.
Yes, Gu Gu.
Let me smell yours.
Let me see.
Gu Gu...
I want to take leave...
Why?
I left something near the river.
I want to go back and look.
It's about to get dark.Just you alone?
Right, just me.
Okay.Wait a while.
Here, Lin Lang.
It's cold at night.Make sure not to catch a cold.
Thank you, Gu Gu.Then I'll get going.
