The Starry Nigth, The Starry Sea Season 2
Episode 20
Next one. What is your name?
Liu A'Gou.
- You go do woodwork. Go now.- Okay.
Zhang Da Li, you do the sail.
- Wan Qingsong.- Yes.
Why are they suddenly hiring so many ship laborers?
- There surely is something fishy here.- He Baobao.- Yes.
- You also go do woodwork.- Yes.
- Chang Qingzhou.- Yes.
Go to the painting workgroup.
Stop it. Can't you see I am busy?
- Why is it you?- The Chang Le Shipyard has already been taken over by the government.
This is your salary for this month.
From now on, you don't need to come anymore.
- What? You...what did you say?- Take him away.
- The shipyard has closed down?- Go!
- Let go of me!- Move!
- I have worked in this shipyard for more than ten years already.- Everyone,
everyone knows that the merpeople harmed the people of our Chang Le.
They are unforgivable and their committed grave crimes.
And the only way to deal with them now is to create a giant ship
that can attack Blue Wave and promote the might of our Chang Le.
Everyone, the earlier this giant ship is built,
the earlier will the people of Chang Le achieve peace.
I am entrusting the safety of the citizens in your hands then.
Okay. Okay.
Lord, I already arranged the laborers to work day and night. We surely will build Cangming with the fastest speed
and attack Blue Cave as soon as possible to save Lady.
Wu Julan, I surely will make you regret this.
[Penglai Abode]
Who is it?
Say it.
What really happened?
Just say what happened.
Did something bad happened?
The government has taken over Chang Le shipyard.
I then got driven out just like this.
I even thought some huge matter has happened. Isn't it just losing a job?
What do you all know?!
I have been rising early and sleeping late in the shipyard,
cautiously worked for the shipyard for more than ten years.
It wasn't easy to finally become the officer-in-charge.
But they just fired me with no clear reason at all.
I...
Hey, Gengzhi, stop brewing over it.
I heard that the school is currently hiring a teacher that can discipline some naughty students.
I feel that it is very suitable for you. Am I right?
Thanks already, Dachun.
Actually, I also am not just worrying for myself.
Think about it. The government has already taken over the shipyard.
Could it be related to the merpeople again?
This...even if it is indeed related, we also can't provide any help.
Now, Lu Xiao has become the envoy to annihilate the merpeople and he holds great military power.
The relationship between humans and merfolk is becoming worse.
Even Wu Julan and Lu Li has turned hostile against each other.
We three can't also provide any help to the situation.
Get up. Drink some water.
Who are you?
Ah Li.
Qin Hao , why is it you?
Don't say anything. Come with me first.
Let's go.
Qin Hao, where are we going?
I don't know.
Blue Cave is strategically located and there are heavy soldiers guarding it. Just with us two, it is impossible for us to escape from here.
Even if we die in the ocean, it's way better than staying here in Blue Cave and suffer torture.
Ah Li, as long as I can be with you,
even if I die, I am very willing.
Let's go.
You two really think that you can escape?
Ah Li, hurry and leave!
I'll delay him. Quickly go!
Ah Li, don't mind me!
Qin Hao...
Wu Julan, if you want to kill someone, kill me. Let Lu Li go.
You are a prisoner yet you were delusional to act as a hero?
Fine, I'll do as you want.
Wu Julan, stop! If you want to kill Qin Hao, then kill me first!
Ah Li! Hurry and go!
You put yourself in danger just to save me. How can I abandon you and escape on my own?
Ah Li!
If we are to die, then let us die here together!
Okay, Ah Li.
Being able to die with you, I have no more regrets in this lifetime.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Tie Sir Qin to the reef.
Choose the most valiant soldier and entertain him well!
Yes!
Wu Julan, all of these were my fault. Please let Qin Hao go.
As long as you let him go, I am willing to do anything.
Shut up.
I don't want to see you again.
Men! Drag her away!
Yes!
Wu Julan...
Move! Move!
Lu Li?
Starting today, you are the lowest slave here in Blue Cave.
Yes.
Jing Yu, take them to wash the merfolk silk.
Remember. Keep watch of her closely. She is a very crafty and vicious human.
I understand.
Go now.
Let's go.
Really too bad.
We all are feeling unwell.
Have to trouble you to wash all these merfolk silk then.
Remember to wash them very meticulously. Her Lady Highness Shanggong is very picky.
If any mistakes occur,
we will not be able to save you.
- Let us go.- Let us go.
I heard that the hawthorn fruit in the back mountain are now very ripe.
Let us hurry and take a look.

- All of you go back now.- Okay. Okay.
Brother Gengzhi!
Why did you come here?
My Lady has been abducted by Wu Julan for several days already and hasn't returned yet. I am very worried about her.
Come. Come. Sit down first.
Don't be too worried about Lu Li's matter anymore.
There is also no use for you to worry and be sad.
It is better that I do the thinking for a way. After all, Wu Julan and I did have some friendship.
Zixuan!
Why did you come here?
My Young Master went to look for you Lady and is still missing until now.
I thought about it and thought that maybe you might have some news so I came to look for you.
Never thought that you really went to look for him.
If I have any news, would I be this depressed?
Wu Julan, Qin Hao, Lu Li.
These three are really not saving people from worrying.
My Young Master likes Lady Lu. Lady Lu doesn't like my Young Master. Wu Julan doesn't like my Young Master. My Young Master also doesn't like Wu Julan.
- Lady Lu likes Wu Julan--- I think that this tongue twister of yours was really well said.
Then does Lady Lu like Wu Julan or not?
- Likes.- Doesn't like.
Then does Wu Julan really like Lady Lu or not?
- Doesn't like.- Likes.
Give me your hand.
Be careful.
Did you get hurt earlier?
Ah He, thank you earlier.
If you keep saying these courteous words with me, you are being a stranger already.
From now on, you are not allowed to come to this deep mountains alone. If you want to come then tell me. I'll come with you.
If you are willing to accompany me, of course, I will be happy.
Oh, right, the tea house is a bit busy recently.
I am unable to handle all the work. I plan to hire a help. Are you willing to help me out?
If you have something to do, then you won't be thinking about revenge everyday anymore.
Moreover, I also have a selfish reason. I want to see you everyday.
I don't want to be like now, not knowing when you will appear and when you will disappear.
I'll think about it.
Okay, I will wait for your reply.
I have one more thing to request. I heard that a western region circus troupe that does puppet shows has come to town.
Let us go watch it tomorrow, okay?
Regarding working in the teahouse, you want to think about it. But for this matter, you won't refuse me, right?
Yes, I will fetch you tomorrow night.
Okay.
Your Lady Highness Shanggong.
How did your task go?
I already followed your instructions and added extracts from the leaves of the graceful jessamine herb on the merfolk silk that Lu Li will be washing.
Next, let us just wait to watch a good show.
Don't worry. This poison will not kill you.
It's just that the wounds are hard to heal.
I fear that you might have to suffer in the following days.
Thank you, High Priest.
Don't you want to know who poisoned you?
In this Blue Cave, other than High Priest,
everyone hates me so much. Everyone wants to kill me.
Then why must I still dwell on who did it?
If High Priest doesn't need anything from me anymore, I'll go back to continue washing the merfolk silk now.
Your wounds haven't healed yet. I'll go tell Chi Die to give you another work to do.
I thank your goodwill.
But no matter if the job is changed or not, the hatred of merpeople towards me will not change.
I will take my leave.
Greetings, Your Majesty. Don't know what is the reason that Your Majesty called for me.
Transfer Lu Li to my chambers to become my personal maid attendant.
Your Majesty, didn't you say to let Lu Li do the hardest and most lowly job?
Being a personal attendant of Your Majesty is a very light work.
Just do as I ordered.
Yes.
Raise your head and look at me.
What? Are you that unwilling to serve me?
You said that you never want to see me.
I changed my mind.
I want to personally slowly torment you.
Letting you be overwhelmed with grief that you will not want to live anymore.
Just like how you tormented me before.
I am now ordering you
to clean my bed chamber from top to bottom.
If I am able to see even a bit of dust,
I surely will punish you gravely.
I heard that Your Majesty transferred Lu Li to your chambers to be your personal maid attendant.
Your Majesty actually still cares for Lu Li.
I indeed care for Lu Li. She is the woman that I gave my true heart to. How could I just forget her like that?
Humans are not plants so how can they be heartless?
I grew up with Your Majesty.
I know your temperament very well. If you can forget things very easily,
they you won't be the king that I know.
Although I can't forget Lu Li, the thing that I can't forget more
is how she tricked my feelings, how she brought me humiliation,
how she caused the death of my royal father and my clan members.
Your Majesty has always given much importance to friendship and relationships.
This is your good trait and also your weakness.
I have repeatedly cruelly hurt Lu Li. Repeatedly made her cry in grief.
But her tears is like a sharp dagger stabbing into my heart.
My heart has long been full of holes, full of sores and wounds.
I can see that you are currently undergoing severe pain.
Even if it is very severe pain, I will endure it.
I will personally seek vengeance for myself, for royal father, for our tribesmen.
The fresh blood of our clan members, the last will of royal father,
how can I forget them?
I only hate myself
for still loving a very wicked and unforgivable person like that?
If you desire to achieve something grand, you surely must go through pain.
Maybe this is a path of mortification that a king of the merpeople must go through.

[For Lu Xiao]
Older brother, once you see this letter, I probably have already set out to go to Chang'an with Qin Hao.
The reason I didn't give you the letter before leaving was because I was afraid that you will become too sad.
Older Brother, I am leaving.
You have now put down your largest burden and you have can now worry less.
In the future, without me accompanying you, you should go find a woman that will be sincere towards you.
Let her control you in my behalf,
that you eat your three meals on time and that you sleep early at night.
Those documents that you are unable to finish, you can just do them tomorrow.
Because of the lung illness you have since you were little, make sure to put on more clothes during cold weather.
Don't worry about me. Qin Hao is a good person.
I surely will be blissful.
Older brother, promise me
that you also must find happiness.
Okay?
Wu Julan...
Father, mother, in this twenty years long path of mine to vengeance,
it feels like I am walking at the side of the cliff in every step.
If I am not careful, I would fall down the cliff and land into abyss.
But never thought that I will involve Ah Li into it this time.
I am sorry to you two. I also am sorry to Ah Li.
But I am swearing to you
that I surely will rescue Ah Li,
that I will surely annihilate those merpeople.
Aren't you going to hurry and help me change my clothes?
Don't know what Qin Hao will feel if he see his own wife
removing the clothes of another man.
You...are totally a shameless woman.
Just to achieve your goals, you can do anything.
Don't you want to listen to the 'Biography of Huo Xiaoyu'?
I will tell you the ending now.
Li Yi went home to visit his family yet he then went to marry another woman.
Huo Xiaoyu died in grief and hatred.
She turned into a malicious spirit and would never let him off eternally.
Towards me, it is not as simple as breaking my heart.
Your acting was really good.
I almost fell for it again.
Too bad, you already used up all my trust towards you.
I will never believe you again.
Stand in my chambers all night. Prepare to serve me anytime.
What are you doing?
I just wanted to put a blanket on you.
Move away. I don't need it.
Lord, not good.
What is it? Why are you being so panicky.
Don't know for what reason by Prefectural Governor Qin suddenly came tonight to visit this place.
Lord, it's already very late.
What is the reason that you suddenly came to visit?
Lu Xiao, you actually are secretly constructing Cangming behind my back.
- Lord, you have misunderstood.- Enough!
A'Fu.
It was indeed this Lord Lu that ordered us to build a giant ship. And he said that once this giant ship is built, it would be able to attack Blue Cave
and spread the might of our Chang Le.
Lu Xiao, based on our laws,
you didn't inform the central government and privately just created a warship
with aim to incite a war,
I should be immediately arresting you and placing you in prison.
But considering that you achieved merit in destroying the merpeople before,
I then will make an exception for you.
I am giving you a day to clean up this matter and then come to me to ask for your punishment.
Lord, I...
I...
I will abide.
Lu Xiao, if you are able to see the error in your ways, repent, and change them,
I surely will send a report to the central government and appeal for leniency.
But if you continue to obstinately persistent with your wrong ways, attempt to use crafty measures to be able to slip through this,
I surely will not easily forgive you.
Yes.
Ginseng, Chinese wild ginger, and Chinese magnoliavine from Korea!
And also gastrodia and bezoar from Qianzhong!
Come take a look!
Here. Secret medicinal formula from the Western Regions. 30 wen.(Wen - ancient monetary coin unit)
I haven't even said anything yet and you already know what illness I have?
People like you who doesn't want others to see that you are here,
are usually not good in that.
Don't worry. Just one dose of this medicine, I guarantee that you will regain your awe-inspiring strength!
I am not good? I...
I have the spirit of a dragon and the energy of a tiger.
Spirit of a dragon and energy of a tiger? You still have to take a medicine first.
Here. Take it already.
Is this useful?
Take care.
I am not good?
Isn't it all because my wife is too...
And also gastrodia and bezoar from Qianzhong!
Secret medicinal formula from the Western Regions!
Dachun!
Wife, why are you here?
I miss you already so I came out to look for you.
I don't want to separate from you for even a second.
Let me take the medicine when we go home or else someone will die.
Okay, I'll go back and cook you the medicine then.
Someone is following us. Quickly go.
Hurry.
Lower down your voice.
Gengzhi?
It's you?
How come it's you two?
You...
Say, why were you two suspiciously following us?
We saw you already at the medicine stall.
But you two kept hiding
so we didn't think it is appropriate to call you.
I...have...a cold!
Okay already. Stop pretending. We came to see you for something.
We want to ask Yin Hu
for news about our Lady.
What you two have now is just small-scale.
Wu Julan really have abducted Lu Li away.
If something bad happens, then it is not as minor as just buying some medicines.
Isn't it all Lu Li who brought this upon herself?
Who told her to be unfaithful first?
Our Lady did not betray him.
She exposed Wu Julan in mortal danger and you still call that not betraying?
What exposing him to mortal danger? It was our Lady who saved Wu Julan!
What do you mean?
- Lady...- Zixuan, you better explain yourself.
Lady, I am unable to hide it anymore.
You think that just relying on you three, you really can rescue Wu Julan?
If not because my Lady agreed to marry Qin Hao,
you all wouldn't have been able to save Wu Julan.
Moreover, about the plan of killing the merpeople before, my Lady really didn't know about it at all.
What is going on?
Then...if that's the case, why didn't she tell us?
The Lu family and the merpeople have a deep grudge.
My Lady doesn't want people to know that it was her who saved Wu Julan.
Oh, right, it's enough that you three know about this.
You must not tell Wu Julan! This was the repeated instructions
of my Lady.
So we all blamed Lu Li wrongly.
Lu Li did so much for His Majesty.
But His Majesty doesn't know anything!
And he even thought that Lu Li betrayed him.
Do not know if Young Lord Qin was able to save my Lady or not when he set out into the seas.
If this only involved Lu Li and Wu Julan, it would have been better.
Now that there is a Qin Hao involved, this matter is more troublesome.
Why?
Brother Gengzhi, there is something you do not know. As they say, when love rivals meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.
It is impossible that they do not get into a fierce fight at all.
Brothers, can you allow me to just give him something to eat?
His Majesty has orders that no one is allowed to visit the criminal.
How is his situation now?
Almost.
What do you mean? What 'almost'?
Getting injured like that and having no food or drink, he is almost dying.
Just wait to collect his corpse.
I beg you two. Just let me in.
Aren't you going to hurry and leave?
Isn't this jade grease?
Give it to Lu Li and say that it came from you.
Jade grease is extracted and refined from expensive jade found in the ocean.
It has always been a precious medicine that only members of the merfok royal family can use.
Is His Majesty really granting this to Lu Li?
Remember.
You must not tell her that this was ordered by me.
I understand.
This is a very effective wound medicine. I spent a lot of effort before I was able to get this.
Apply it and you will get better.
High Priest is the only person in this Blue Cave that treats me kindly.
Whether people are kind to you or not, you cannot just look externally.
Some looks kind but actually are evil. Some looks evil but actually are kind.
Remember to apply the medicine. I'll get going now.
I already followed His Majesty's order and gave the jade grease to Lu Li.
Your Majesty clearly is concerned about Lu Li yet you have to pretend to not to.
You clearly love her yet you have to pretend that you only hate her.
Days like these are really very toilsome.
High Priest is very knowledgeable in magic and able to know the past and future.
Is there any magic that can make me forget a person?
I am incompetent. I don't know of such a magic.
But I think that if you persistently hold on to a thought, you then will get trapped within this thought.
If you put it down, you will be able to be more carefree.
Only Your Majesty can solve the puzzle that is bugging your heart.
The true way to forget is not to avoid it but to face it.
One day, once Your Majesty is able to calmly face everything in the past,
maybe only then can you really obtain true freedom.
Because of love, one develops worries, one develops fears.
If you separate from the person you love, then there won't be worries and fears.
- What sound was that? - Let us go take a look.
Qin Hao!
Ah Li...
I brought you a medicine. Once you apply this, your wounds will immediately heal.
I even brought you rice soup and snacks.
Ah Li, I...
Don't talk anymore. I know what you want to say.
Just try to continue holding on. I will think of a way to save you.
Qin Hao has nothing to do with this. This is all my fault.
