Episode 9
Oh no! Time to change the cloth!
You are awake.
Why are you grinning?
Did the fever caused you to be stupid?
Do you still remember who I am?
You really don't remember.
I'm your brother.
In future, when you see me, call me Older Brother.
Can you remember this?
Peng Peng, I definitely don't know you anymore.
Everything you did really surprised me.
So, you didn't become stupid.
But everything that you did
are also beyond my expectations.
Come, slowly.
From what I see,
you've already became someone Qi Sheng cannot control.
If you cannot have it, then you have to destroy it.
Before your trip to Northern Jiang, I was showing too much concern to you
and overlooked Qi Sheng's spies.
And he must have known about our meetings well beforehand.
He must have been raged about it, hence, he wanted to kill us.
Therefore, it's me who didn't control my own actions
and caused you harm.
You can't be blamed for it
From what I see, what we have is just plain gentlemen's relationship.
It's Qi Sheng who's thinking too much.
If we can survive this, one we're home
we must be extra careful of our actions.
You're right.
This time, we can be considered as life and death buddies.
Just want to give you some advice regarding competing for the throne.
The road is long and hard, the responsibility is heavy and reason is far.
Qi Sheng is a cold and cunning.
He's not someone that can be easily defeated.
Have you thought about not fighting for it anymore?
If I don't fight, will it bring me peace?
It was him who little by little, forced me into this situation.
If I fight, then I might have some gleam of hope.
If I don't fight, then I can only wait for death.
You and me are quite alike when it comes to this.
I also have that feeling of always being in danger.
Each day that your life is in the hands of someone,
is each day that you feel unstable.
It's still not known if we can go back alive.
You don't have to worry too much about that. Qi Sheng usually works carefully and thinks of the bigger picture.
We've already foiled his plan.
He won't just make up another accusation to kill us.
If he wants to kill us again, he have to plan again.
It looks like you really know him well.
But since we now know that we can still live for a long time,
then we must not stay hungry!
I'll look for some food and get us some water.
Go and catch some fish in the river and make a grilled fish once back at home.
What a big fish!
Wake up...
Come. Get up.
Where are your clothes?
(Hmp! You've already tried to kill me)
(why do you care if I'm wearing anything?)
Why are you here?
I was also running from the assassins, hence, hid under water.
Then...does it mean that the assassins won?
How can you still worry about that at this moment?
Of course.
It's like watching a tv series and you won't let me know the ending.
Watching a soccer game and you won't tell me the score.
We won.
Then why did you still end up looking so defeated?
Where are your guards who treat you as some treasure?
I didn't have enough air while swimming under water
and I also hit a rock causing me to cannot move my arm.
And eventually floated here.
You know what's pain now?
Why don't you try hitting in one?
Maybe it's dislocated?
I'll try to find some branches to stabilize it.
Wait for me.
Stop right there!
- Peng Peng!- Huh?
I was afraid that you'd meet some wild animals so I followed you.
Guess who I met? Qi Sheng!
He's currently at the river bank.Hurry up and hide.
It's better that you two doesn't see each other for now.
What's wrong?
Are there really wild animals in this small forest?
Is it a bear or a lion?
If it's a bear, let's just pretend to be dead.
If it's a lion, count 1, 2, 3, then let's run.
No need to run.
Ninth Prince, what a coincidence, you're also here. Hehehe...
Wear it.
(The two of you must not fight here!)
How are you doing, Ninth Prince?
I'm okay. Are you hurt, third brother?
His arm is hurt.
It looks like we should look for a place to hide for now.
So that I can help you with your arm.
Good idea.
We cannot sit here and wait for death, right?
There will be troops who will save us.
But I don't know if the troops will come first
or the assassins will come first.
This time the assassins attack was strange.
Could it be that outsiders have merged with our troops?
The security in the military is very high.
If not because they know our track so well,
they could not have found the right opportunity to attack us.
The ambush is most likely masterminded by someone close to us.
I've never thought that he had the guts to do such thing.
I've also never thought of it.
I've just usually looked down on him
Who is it?
Could it be Prince Zhao?
That can't be...a coward like him?
It can't totally be not possible.
He did have the motive.
Prince Zhao wearing that green hat for so many years is also not that easy.
For him to be able to do this, it means that he was really pushed to the edge.
Green hat, you still don't understand what it means, right?
I'll tell you now.
Green hat means that your own wife is having an affair with someone else.
Zhang Peng Peng, come over here.
Why?
If you just want to do an act for others, you could have fake kissed me.
Why must you 'really' do it?
If you dare make me wear a green hat,
I will kill him.
(Qi Sheng, Qi Sheng)
(I've already hugged Ninth Prince at the river)
(Also did mouth to mouth resuscitation)
(Last night, the two of us, a man and a woman, were alone sleeping in the forest.)
(I think this is not just simply wearing a green hat.)
(Your brain is already full of green light.)
Look at me.I don't have a thief' heart
and a thief gut.So no need to worry.
Search!
A few of you, go over there.
I wonder if they are allies or foes.
Why don't we make a bet?
If Prince Zhao sent them,
let's just see who among the two us will be favored more by the Heavens.
Looks like they will either kill you
or me instead.
Let's make a bet then.
- Get down. - What are you doing?
Both of you,
regardless of whoever dies, and as long as Prince Zhao becomes the Emperor,
the country will then go into chaos.
In any case, I don't have any families here.
and I have a heart that seeks to be remembered.
Let me be the hero.
So as not to waste my existence.
Peng Peng...
You are the dogs of Prince Zhao, right?
How dare you commit assassination!
go back and tell him that
He don't have that IQ!
Don't touch anywhere.
How did I get hurt?
When you slipped from the cliff earlier, you hit your head.
It must have hurt very much.
Just this degree of pain, no big deal.
Tell me. When I was standing up,
did I look cool?
Fortunately, they were our men. If they were the assassins,
I am afraid that you won't have any chance to brag and pretend to be strong in front of me now.
So, they were our men?
But where is Ninth Prince now? If I were to ask about him now,
This sour pot...will most likely be spilled again.(Sour pot means jealous)
When I fainted, you both were rescued?
Yes. The others have returned to the capital.
I've never thought that will encounter so much in this trip to Northern Jiang.
Isn't that right?
In such a short time,
I've already almost died numerous times.
Do you know who sent the assassins to kill you?
I know it's...
He's clearly testing me.
If I know it's him, he will kill me to silence me.
It would be strange if I know who it is.
No matter what, it's okay as long as you are fine.
Your Highness, there is an urgent report.
Wait here first. Without my consent, don't go out.
Grandson Qi Sheng. Your father, the Emperor, passed away last night.
Because it happened suddenly, you must return now so we can discuss his burial.
You are the Crown Prince. The dynasty can't be without a King.
There are many major tasks for you to settle now.
We must not waste any time.Tell the others
to prepare the military escort and come with me to the north.
Yes.
Since it happened suddenly, the capital right now is in full alert state and quite dangerous.
While I still am not 100% sure of winning, I cannot let my wife risk going with me.
The Northern Jiang military base is just beside here.
I trust all the people there.
It's a very safe place.Find a few more trustworthy guards and servants
to stay here with my consort.
Escort Your Highness Crown Prince back to the capital without fail!
Yes.
What's going on? Why is the Crown Prince in such a hurry to go back to the capital?
You!
My Lady, please forgive me!
Enough, get up.
Thank you, My Lady.
I've already been trapped here the whole day!
I was indeed just about to take you for a walk.
Where did he go?
The Crown Prince has instructed
to let you rest and recuperate here.
The wind is very strong out there. It's best that you don't wander around.
Where is the wind?
Where did the Crown Prince go?
Call him to come here. I need to find him regarding some matters.
The Crown Prince has some urgent matters and has gone back to the capital first.
So, he instructed me to take care of you.
Did he go back alone?
Yes, My Lady.
Do you know why he needed to go back?
Why did he left me alone here?
I'm not very clear about this.
I left something at Ninth Prince.
Find him and get it back for me.
Go now!
My Lady, the Ninth Prince is also not here anymore.
What? He is not here too?
Yes, My Lady.
Who else is here then?!
There are still some guards and servants here that you can order around.
I...
Isn't this wanting me to rot here alone?
My Lady...
I didn't imagine... I didn't imagine...
the grapes become raisins.
My Lady.
My Lady...
Lu Li?Am I dreaming?
My Lady, it's me.I am Lu Li.
My Lady.
My Lady, what are you smelling?
My baby.
It has been many days since I smell any humans.
I seemed to have seen the rebirth of creatures during spring time.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to meet My Lady.
Even without you, I can ask for permission by myself.
Then I'll just rent a carriage.
Without you, my trip would have been quieter.
Ain't I doing you a favor for bringing you here?
I admit that I really want to go here
but didn't you keep begging me to go with you?
Yes, Young Lady.
I beg you to come.
What's going on?
You like her?
My Lady. The Crown Prince ascended to the throne a few days ago.
He has sent orders to escort you back to Chengdu.
The Emperor has repeatedly reminded me to take good care of you along the way.
Because I was afraid that I might not take care of you well,so I bought Lu Li here.
A new Emperor has ascended the throne?
Yes, My Lady. No one imagined that
The Emperor just died overnight.
I cried the whole night.
How could be he so weak?
How could the previous Emperor passed away like that?
The previous Emperor has passed away?
Isn't that so?
Ninth Prince, please receive the decree.
Whose decree am I receiving?
Of course, it's the decree of the Emperor.
Your Highness Ninth Prince, please kneel to receive the decree.
The decree by the Heavens through the Emperor
Ninth Prince Qi Han earned merit by saving the consort of the Crown Prince at Northern Jiang.
Awarding him a thousand silver and hundred acre land.
Political status increased by 1 degree.All previous duties are removed
and reassigned to Internal Affairs.
From this day on, the restriction on the Ninth Prince's household has been lifted.
The End.
Your Highness, Ninth Prince.
I'm taking my leave.
Thank you for the Emeperor's grace.
Emperor's edict
Come.
Drink with me.
I'm here to deliver the decree. I can't drink with you.
If you don't drink, I won't listen.
You are making things difficult for me.
Are you going to drink or not?
- I will drink with you.- Emperor!
Emperor...Prince Zhao...
Prince Zhao is harassing me...
Harassing you?Try looking at yourself!
You.. what are you doing here? Are you here to mock me?
Kill me if you want.
I want to look at your disgusting self.
Where are your manners?
I know I don't have much time left.
So I'm taking advantage now that I'm still free, I'm carefree, you can't control me...
Who told you that you will die?A mediocre who worries for nothing.
Listen to the decree first.
I don't want to listen.
The decree by the Heavens through the Emperor
Because of wrongly believing to the words of traitors, leading to a number of royal members
trapped at Northern Jiang,the sentence should be death.
- The present Emperor considers the fact that they are brothers- that they are brothers
that they are brothers,you are pardoned from death.
All official duties are removed but will remain as Prince and stay in his house.
will remain as Prince and stay in his house.
I spit on it!
The end.
Go to Hell!
Do you think I will be grateful to you if you don't kill me?
I spit on it.
You are cursing my heart.
It's even more ruthless than killing me.
There will come a day when you understand my intentions.
I don't understand.
I don't understand!
I won't understand it ever!
♫ If my lover's life was never short ♫
♫ does this world have any legendary stories ♫
♫ If a moth's afraid of touching fire ♫
♫ how can this short life be magnificent ♫
♫ Like being wrapped around with a silk cloth ♫
♫ Like golden shackles with a jade inside ♫
♫ Like snow dancing while falling ♫
♫ So beautiful, to live for death ♫
♫ If love can be broken,only loneliness in the the end ♫
♫ Forgotten the reasons and consequences ♫
♫ Stubbornness to wait long and hard,a feint promise ♫
♫ Wasted a lot of our youth ♫
♫ Wasted months and years,missed each other in one reincarnation ♫
♫ The one forgotten is me ♫
♫ Familiar silhouette,became mottled with tears ♫
♫ Looking at it but can't touch it ♫
♫ Love is something you can think but can't say ♫
