[Can't Buy Me Love]
[Episode 13]
Lai Ying is a native of Cheung On.
You made her a match a month ago and picked Mok Yi Fai as her husband.
They are a perfect match in age, education, interests, and looks.
From matching, to bringing them together
it was in accordance with the procedure, with no skipping of steps.
He is a wanted man!
He tried to blackmail Kam's Gold with counterfeit gold.
Well, Miss Lai Ying, come back early tomorrow for a number
and I will help you with the match nullification procedure.
Then I will find you a new match.
Hold it, it was obviously your mistake.
You almost ruined her life.
There will be consequences for your negligence.
Don't try to brush us off with official speak and red tape.
Sz, you remember how His Honor lectured us.
Yes, I went to the blind date with you.
His Honor was on a raid for kidnappers.
We were taken back.
His Honor gave us a speech about righteous indignity
every word a wake up call.
That's what you said to Sz.
You went to a blind date with Ngan Ping.
It was a kind act.
But you were drugged and almost taken advantage of.
You were being dumb.
And you, just to save money...
Went to an unauthorized matchmaker, and put Ng Sz Tak in danger.
It was dumb and dumber.
The most trustworthy matchmaker is, of course
the government matchmaker, authorized by His Majesty.
That is... you.
The government matchmaker plaque is
engraved with a pair of scales and an axe.
They carry a great meaning, something like...
Some poem we didn't understand.
Anyway... the government matchmaker has to be fair and just.
That's what the pair of scales is for.
If justice is not done, the axe is for chopping up unfaithful men and loose women.
Your Honor, where is your fairness and justice?
Your Honor, furthermore, you said we shouldn't save on petty cash.
We went to unauthorized matchmakers, which put us at risk.
We were dumb and dumber!
You praise the government matchmaker so highly.
Meanwhile, Lai Ying paid her full price but she still ended up with no husband.
I say the government matchmaker is worse than unauthorized ones.
We should have gone to them instead.
All right... I will reopen Miss Lai Ying's case and help her find a good husband.
Are you satisfied?
That will be good, thank you, Your Honor.
To reopen the case, you'll have to pay your fee again.
We have to pay?
It was your fault, you should waive the fee.
Your Honor, it is not in the book.
What book?
- I have no money. - She has no money.
Consider the fee waived... I will pay it for you.
Deduct it from my pay.
Ladies, you can go now. I will inform you when there is news.
Now you're talking. Government matchmaker.
Let's go.
I have an itchy throat, swollen gums and
a white tongue, along with constipation.
Does this imply heat in the 'upper burner'?
Master Shau, open your mouth and let me see.
Swollen gums and a white tongue.
Yes, too much heat in the 'upper burner'.
Physician Mok, you have flushing cheeks and smarting eyes.
You suffer from dry throat, dry stool
brown urine, and occasional palpitation?
Yes!
Headache and poor sleep. Show me your tongue.
Dark red tongue.
Fine and rapid pulse.
You have a Yin imbalance that leaves you too heated.
I should take a six-ingredient pill with rehmannia.
Master Shau, I didn't know you were versed in medicine!
I went to Shaolin to pick up martial arts from Master Mo Chun.
He is well-learned in medicine too.
He took me along on his herb collection trips.
Some of his knowledge rubbed off on me.
I'm able to prescribe for common ailments.
Then Master Shau, what should be prescribed this time?
Ox is a land animal, it eats only grass.
The essence of it lies in its bezoar.
When ingested, it cleanses toxins and relieves phlegm heat
damp heat evil, and chest heat.
I suffer from heat in the 'upper burner'.
I should take ox bezoar detoxification powder.
Ox bezoar, canker root, Chinese skullcap.
Szechwan lovage rhizome, rhubarb root, chasteberry, chrysanthemum, and realgar.
Ground them into powder form and divide into 12 packets.
Mix it with warm water and drink it up. It is a must-have for home or traveling.
Master Shau, you made your own diagnosis.
I don't know if I should charge you.
Negotiable, negotiable.
Granny... be careful...
Granny... careful.
Are you all right?
I'm fine, thank you.
You mind the way you walk!
Brother Yung, why are you in such a hurry?
I am meeting Brother Chi and Brother Yan in Yee Hung Lau.
What a coincidence, you should join us.
No, thanks, I have some dry heat. I've just come back from the doctor.
I see.
Brother Yung, you aren't well. You shouldn't be drinking.
It is for fortification only, I'm fine.
You go rest up then. I'll see if Brother Dor Luk is free.
See you later.
Sz.
I'm sorry, did I frighten you?
It's all right, I didn't choke.
What have you swallowed?
You are working and eating at the same time.
- Are you really that hungry? - No, my throat is itchy.
I was sucking on a sugared lotus seed to soothe it.
- You have hanging phlegm? - Maybe.
Swollen gum? Tongue coating?
And constipation?
Yes, how did you know?
Those are my symptoms too.
What?
I just went to Physician Mok for a diagnosis.
He said it is heat in the 'upper burner'.
Heat in the 'upper burner'? Is it serious?
My swollen gum hurts.
You take some of my detoxification powder.
If it is mild, take it three times a day, a third at a time.
Since you have swollen gums, take a whole packet at a time.
Mix it with warm water, and you will get well afterwards.
More rest is the key. Don't overwork yourself.
You go back to your room to take it. Then go to bed.
But I have to sweep the courtyard.
I'm ordering you to stop working and go back to your room.
Okay.
- Hey. - Yes?
Use warm water, and drink every drop.
Okay!
What a coincidence that we fell ill together.
- Master Shau. - Yes, what is it?
A Master Cheng wants to see you.
Brother Yung.
Master Shau, have you taken your medication?
No, why?
We bumped into each other and our medications fell out.
Our packages got mixed up. This is yours.
Where is mine?
Leung Sun, you go to my room and take the medication on the desk out.
Yes, Master Shau.
Brother Yung, it's lucky you figured out our mix-up quickly.
Wrong medication can be serious.
It is not about seriousness, it is about the price.
Why? Was your medication very expensive?
I told you I was going to Yee Hung Lau for some fun.
It wouldn't be fun without some five-mineral powder.
Five-mineral powder?
You mean the powder that will confuse the mind
and make people let go of all restraints?
Wrong, the powder that heightens the pleasure and the thinking.
Poems come out without thinking.
You're the one who is wrong, five-mineral powder is harmful.
I don't want you taking it again.
Oh no!
Sz.
Sz, Sz...
Master Shau, you are here... for me?
Come on over... come on.
It's all gone!
Not a drop left.
Sz, why did you close the door?
Don't come near me, or I'll scream!
I feel sleepy. I closed the door and now I'm going to bed.
Sz, be careful, don't trip.
Thank you, Master Shau.
I feel hot... it is so hot...
Hey, why are you disrobing?
I feel hot.
Don't do this!
I feel like I am on fire.
If you don't believe me, touch me.
Am I hot?
Just hang on, you'll be fine when it wears off.
Master Shau, I can't take it anymore!
What?
- I have to disrobe and take a bath. - Don't you do it!
No... we can't do this!
Sz, you all right?
I don't just feel hot.
My heart is beating...
Beating fast.
If you don't believe me, you can feel it.
You... hit... me?
Sz, I am sorry.
Master Shau, good morning.
Why are you here? Am I still dreaming?
Master Shau, you dreamed of me too?
You... what are you doing in my room?
I didn't know when you would wake up
so I brought you water to freshen up with.
I told Madam Loi Hei you had heat in your 'upper burner'.
She said to let you sleep.
They would go to the shop after breakfast.
Master Shau, come over to freshen up.
- Here you are - Thank you.
Master Shau, have you taken the ox bezoar detoxification powder?
What? Why?
I don't know if my dry heat was serious
but I kept dreaming all night long afterwards
I felt like I was in a drought.
I was hot all over.
The weirdest thing is, I dreamed of you.
What did I do in your dream?
You were wicked.
I... how wicked?
You hit me.
I don't know why I had such a dream.
You are nice to me, why would you hit me?
But that's not all.
The weirdest thing is that when I got up this morning.
My arm is bruised.
The back of my head hurts too.
You probably slept too soundly and rolled off the bed.
But I woke up in bed, not on the floor.
See, you slept so soundly, you didn't know you fell and got in bed.
What happens in a dream is not true.
- Don't think about it too much. - Okay.
Master Shau, should I take more powder?
No...
Medication should be kept to a minimum.
My heart is beating.
Beating fast.
Master Shau, how come you are flushed?
You're all sweaty. You don't feel well?
- Should I take you to bed? - Bed? No.
Let me get you breakfast.
No, no bed and no breakfast.
You just go and let me have some peace.
Let me have some peace.
Go... go.
Then I'm excused?
Siu Yuk's delicious soup, it is such a scoop.
Very delicious.
If you like it, have some more.
- Sure... wait, no. - What?
Save it for Dor Shau. He is in the vault, counting.
He has been working hard. Save it for his fortification.
But it is eight-treasure turtle soup, it's not right for him.
It's too strong for him. He'll probably get a nosebleed.
Right.
- Hubby - Thank you.
Be careful.
Brother Fook, Siu Yuk.
Shau, I didn't know you were here or I would have saved you some soup.
It's all right.
Brother Fook, the counting is done. The total is right.
Thank you indeed.
Thank you for your help, I am spared the trouble.
But I am troubled.
About what?
What soup to make you that will open your eyes. I have to go.
Siu Yuk.
She was all smiles and suddenly she looked cross.
Women are hard to understand.
Not just women. Men don't understand men either.
What is it? Sit down and talk to me.
I don't know why, but my chest feels... itchy.
Itchy?
But no use scratching it, I can't reach it.
Like the itchiness comes from inside.
I feel so uneasy, I can't sit still or stand still, it is hard to bear.
I seem to remember this feeling.
It happened to me once... Oh, I remember it now.
It was after my first kiss with Siu Yuk.
First kiss?
I couldn't sit still for days afterwards.
Just like you said... it was hard to bear.
It's time to close the shop. Let me go down to check it out.
What? Closing the shop so soon?
[Chun Yin Academy]
Prince Po, Prince Tak Leung.
- Prince Dor Luk. - Prince Dor Luk, hello.
Where are you going?
It's time for our archery practice.
Good for you, Prince Weng and I have to wash saddles and dust horse rugs.
- See you. - See you.
Prince Weng, so early?
Oh yes, where is Tutor Wong?
He has gone to relieve himself.
Stop the hitting.
What?
But it's really dusty.
You have gone too far.
This is going too far? Really?
Put down your whip, or you will weep.
But if I stop, it won't get clean.
Prince Weng, why don't you move over a bit.
We both can take a step back, for breathing room.
But I accommodate every time. Why can't you accommodate me for a change?
Every time? But it is my first time.
Let's see how long you can run amuck!
Fortune will be reversed.
I won't be on my knees forever. I will not be oppressed forever.
Prince Weng, are you all right?
Prince Dor Luk, when did you get here?
I've been here. You told me Tutor Wong went to relieve himself.
Oh yes, right.
Prince Weng, you don't feel well?
If Princess Wing Ho has a fall. Or doesn't win in a draw.
I will be given a good maul.
What?
You won't get it. Even if you get it, you won't do it.
Even if you will do it, you can't handle it.
- What is the use explaining it? - Seriously, are you okay?
What? You think I am out of my mind?
You can rest assured, I am fine.
Will a drunken man say he is drunk?
Will a mad man not say he is sane? Right?
Mad men go to the mad men tower.
But that beats staying in the Chun Yin Academy.
No more washing and dusting...
That's odd, I'm pretty sure I missed.
I hit the bullseye, but it was your bullseye, Prince Dor Luk.
Props.
Look! I always hit the bullseye... not. Where has it gone?
If Tutor Pak had not fallen ill
I wouldn't have known archery is so much fun.
- Me too. - After you...
Prince Weng will be sorry he missed this.
What's wrong with Prince Weng? Is he ill?
He is here.
He washed saddles with Prince Dor Luk not so long ago.
He left once time was up.
I don't know where he has gone.
Does it feel like something isn't right with him lately?
Yes.
He just ignores your queries, and gets lost in his own worries.
He sometimes looks white as if frightened.
Sometimes he won't stop chatting. Sometimes he won't stop cussing.
But I don't blame him.
He sleeps with his enemy.
How could he feel easy?
He is stuck between a hard rock and the deep blue sea.
Or the frying pan and the fire.
Losing his mind is just a matter of time.
He wouldn't be the first.
Mad prince consorts have been locked up in the sanitarium tower.
They'll never see the sky again.
If it is true, then Prince Weng is pitiable.
Greetings, Your Highnesses.
What is it?
We are here on Princess Wing Ho's order.
To arrest...
No... to take Prince Weng back.
He should be practicing archery at this hour.
He has not been here.
No?
Really no.
He didn't feel well and returned on his own.
That's impossible.
Without Princess Wing Ho's permission, he is not allowed to go anywhere.
You go and report it to Her Highness.
Yes.
He's probably just wandered off.
You go look for him...
If Her Highness knows he wanders off on his own, she will be hopping mad.
Obviously, Prince Weng isn't here. You go somewhere else to look for him.
Your Highnesses, if you see Prince Weng
please tell him to return at once.
Prince Weng will get a good beating this time.
Resistance is futile. What is Prince Weng thinking?
Worry about yourselves first.
The exam is coming.
If we don't pass, the princesses will blame us and beat us with whip or staff.
I have to take the bow and arrows back for practice.
- Me too. - Me too.
Prince Dor Luk, excuse us.
They are so hard working. I have to do my part.
Put them on the desk.
I am so tired.
You are excused.
- I won't go. - Prince Weng?
Prince Dor Luk, you have to help me.
You know Princess Wing Ho is looking for you?
You know there is nothing I can do for you?
You can't help me?
Then why did you help me out just now?
If I take you in, then it is not the end of you but the end of me.
Or the end of us both, you get it?
It means the end of me either way. I don't care how it will end.
But why?
The Chiu family had fallen into hard times.
The clan of over 900 depended on me for their survival
or I wouldn't have stepped into my doom.
Yes, becoming a prince consort means fame and fortune. The
whole family wouldn't have to worry about daily necessities.
But... Princess Wing Ho is more fearsome than a tigress.
More wicked than an evil spirit.
I have to play cat and mouse with her everyday.
She is the cat and I am the mouse.
I am beaten black and blue all over.
She hits me right on the head with stools or ladles.
When night falls, she turns into a cougar.
This little mouse is terrorized.
I bemoan my life.
Prince Dor Luk, you know she likes to pinch me?
Let me show you.
Yuck.
This scar, she hit me with a bronze mirror last mid-autumn festival.
And this one, she threw a bowl of hot soup at me.
Not only that.
My chest, my back and my inner thighs are all scarred.
Let me disrobe and show you.
- No! No, it's okay. - I'm not lying.
There is a stab wound on my backside. Take a good look.
Let me show you.
No... I can imagine it, you don't have to.
You... really understand?
I do.
Your body is not your own.
You heart is on tenterhooks.
You rue the day you were born.
That's why I have to leave this hell. For my survival!
Even if I have to give up my name.
To become a wandering soul.
To hide in the wilderness and live the life of a barbarian
I am willing.
Master Luk, Master Luk.
Sz... what is it?
Master Luk, Princess Wing Ho is here.
She is in a fury.
She says she is here for Prince Weng.
I told her he has not been here.
All right, I'll go out with you.
Come on.
Your Highness, what has brought you here?
I am honored.
Prince Weng is nowhere to be found. Have you seen him?
What? Prince Weng is missing?
Prince Po and Prince Tak Leung said you washed saddles with him.
You were the last one to see him.
What have you said to him?
What has he said to you?
He has not been home since.
Are you hiding him? Tell me!
What? Am I hiding him? Why would I hide him?
You sound defensive.
Yes, I did have a chat with him this morning.
But that doesn't mean I have hidden him.
I have no patience to argue with you.
It is easy to find out.
Search!
Yes.
Hold it! You can't!
I am a prince consort after all.
I am a third-rank official.
This is my house. You can't search it at will.
A third-rank prince consort? Big deal.
Do you think a third-rank prince consort has any power?
Do you really have any say?
Third-rank means something, fine.
But how does it compare to me? First-rank Princess Royal Wing Ho?
- Search! - Halt!
Chiu Yeung, you sure are well-informed.
Wing Ho, you came here with such a clatter
everyone in a hundred mile vicinity is alerted.
Were you informed that Prince Dor Luk is hiding Prince Weng here?
Prince Dor Luk, is it true?
No, of course not.
He is lying!
Wing Ho, that's enough.
Prince Dor Luk is honest to a fault. He does the right things by default.
His wicked deeds tally to naught. Evil-doings he refuses to be taught.
You tell me, why would he hide your Prince Weng?
Why would he step into his doom?
Prince Weng has not been here.
How do you know?
This is my husband's house.
I said no and it is no.
If no, why won't you let me search it?
Since he is not here, why should I let you search it?
But I insist, and no one can stop me.
Wing Ho, you should know the line.
If Dowager Tsui learns of this, she will say we are in discord
and become a laughingstock. If she gets mad, can you bear the responsibility?
If Prince Weng is hidden here, and Father learns of it
can you bear the responsibility?
Prince Weng left you. What have we got to do with it?
You should worry about how to tell Father about that.
Anyway, Prince Weng is not hiding here in the Kam mansion.
- You can guarantee that? - I guarantee it.
If you insist on making a scene here
let us go to Father. Let him be our judge.
I think he too wants to know why Prince Weng ran away.
Why he would desert you.
Why he would give up on being a prince consort.
I will back down, for now.
If I find evidence that Kam Dor Luk is keeping my prince here
you will pay for it.
Let's go.
Your Highness, you are awesome.
Your Highness was not moved by terror.
Unlike somebody here, who cowered in horror.
Sz, you were smart.
You got Her Highness here to save the day. Very good move.
Princess Wing Ho was all fury, I knew Master Luk couldn't handle her.
That's nonsense. But I was a bit scared.
Wing Ho was indeed murderous.
Prince Dor Luk.
Why don't you come over for some soothing tea?
Sure.
Your Highness, let me prepare the tea.
Eunuch Li, you lot. Come and give me a hand.
Your Highness, you parried Princess Wing Ho at every accusation.
She was rendered speechless, to my joy and delight.
You were almost beheaded. Would that be to your delight?
Have you thought about the consequences?
You know Wing Ho and I are at odds.
But you still keep Prince Weng here? You think I can use more trouble?
If Wing Ho found out Prince Weng was in your room
nobody could have stopped your fate.
How did you know...
Sz told you about it.
Sz knew its seriousness.
Unlike you, who is foolhardy and useless.
And here I thought you did it out of righteous anger.
You were only trying to save your skin.
Anything that befalls me or the Kam family concerns both of us.
Didn't you hear? Prince Weng's running away is an offense to Father.
Hiding him makes you his accomplice.
If Wing Ho learns of it, she will blow it up.
I don't want to Kam family to be drawn in.
Or to land myself in trouble.
You have to send Prince Weng away.
Send him back to Wing Ho.
But you know what kind of woman Wing Ho is.
Sending him back is sending him to his death.
Heaven cares for every living thing.
If anything happens to Prince Weng, will you and I feel easy about it?
There are laws and customs. It is not for us to change it.
You may not be afraid to die. But what about the Kam family?
Do you want your grandma and Mom Loi Hei to come back to an empty house?
Your Highness, greetings from Sz Tak.
What's so urgent?
Princess Wing Ho is here again?
Prince Weng is nowhere to be found.
He left you this letter.
'Wing Ho descended here like a plague.'
'This is no longer a safe place to stay.'
'I don't want to drag you and your family in.'
'I have to leave without bidding you goodbye.'
'You saved my life today.'
'If I can survive this, I will repay your kindness many times over.'
'If I can't escape my fate, don't feel bad for me.'
There is danger everywhere. Where will he go?
Can Prince Weng really survive?
I told Kam Dor Luk to send Prince Weng away. Was that wrong?
Prince Weng ran away. It really is an offense to Father.
He did break the law.
On the other hand, he was forced to choose this option.
He deserves our sympathy.
Wing Ho is insufferable and her actions unforgivable.
But Prince Weng put up with her all these years.
In a sense, he abated her.
If he had stood up to her from the very start
he wouldn't have fallen into this state.
Your Highness, you have a point.
It is well known that prince consorts have brawn but no brains.
They cower in front of their wives.
They marry princesses in order to climb up the political ladder.
Kam Dor Luk is the best example.
He thinks he makes an impressive presence
but he is an empty vessel that makes the loudest sound.
If he really had some manliness in him, if he really had some pride
I might see him differently.
But where to find a real man, a real hero with a chivalrous heart?
Ngai Ching would risk his life to remonstrate Father.
And Father, of course, my greatest hero.
But, Father aside, are there no more real men in the world?
It is said that Prince Weng has simply disappeared.
Princess Wing Ho is still tracking him down.
What is worse, the princesses said they wouldn't make the same mistake.
Our lives will be even worse now.
Prince Weng used to be dashing
but after years of abuse by Princess Wing Ho, he has become quite dumb.
Tell me, if he falls back into her hands, will it mean the end of him?
Prince Dor Luk, you know me best.
What is happening to me... It will befall all of you!
Prince Weng, why are you here?
The world may be big, but there is no refuge for me.
Prince Weng, what are you going to do?
Prince Weng, why don't you turn yourself in?
You may be treated with leniency.
A man can be killed but not humiliated.
That I should go back to be abused by Wing Ho, I would rather die.
He's right!
Prince Weng may be in dire straits, but he still has his dignity. That's...
Prince Weng, you can stand tall. You have my admiration.
I really don't have the same courage.
Since we became prince consorts, we have lost our dignity.
Though we are learned and have aspirations
we have nowhere to plead for justice.
The princesses have gone too far.
I just don't believe they can always have their way!
Right, heaven has eyes.
The shrews will have to pay for their wickedness.
If they push us to the wall.
We will... repay in kind.
We will take our cases to His Majesty.
Yes, let us...
Take our cases to His Majesty.
To reveal their ugliness!
When I see His Majesty, I will tell him of their laziness.
If I see His Majesty, I will tell him of their haughtiness.
If I see His Majesty, I will tell him of their heartlessness.
You wanted to see me?
Your Majesty...
At your service!
I am just back from my surprise inspection of the south lands.
I meant to enjoy some good tea here.
And their signature dish, the golden chicken.
Then I overheard your complaints. You wish to tell me of the shrews.
Who are the shrews you spoke of? And what are your grievances?
I am right here in front of you.
Whatever your grievances, you can tell me.
Sire, the shrews we talked about... are the princesses.
We are going to put the Tang princesses on trial!
Princess Wing Ho.
Princess Ching Wan.
Princess Chiu Yeung.
Princess Chuen Ping.
Princess Chun Huai.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
We are at your service, Your Majesty.
- Please get up - Thank you, Your Majesty.
On one side are my beloved daughters.
On the other side, my dashing prince consorts.
A couple is made up of a man and a woman.
They think differently and are different in character.
Marital bliss is built on accommodation and understanding.
It means compromise.
You have been summoned here.
I hope that if there are any disagreements between you
you will let them all out and resolve them
so that you can be happy couples again.
Prince Weng, you just go ahead and tell Father what troubles you.
Since I married Princess Wing Ho...
She has been fickle.
But... I understand, she has her reasons.
As the eldest princess, she has to set an example for her sisters.
She has to take care of charities for the benefit and well-being of the people.
I lack discipline and she has to worry about me as well.
It simply is too hard for her and she is exhausted.
That's why her fickleness is understandable.
Prince Weng, do you mean what you say?
Yes, what I said is all true. Couldn't be more true.
Prince Chi Kung, now that everyone is here
why don't you pour your heart out as well?
Actually... I find Princess Ching Wan too domineering.
But it is because, like Princess Wing Ho
she has spared no efforts for the people.
She is worried that I shall fail Your Majesty's, and the people's, expectations.
That's why she is strict with me.
Actually, she is the embodiment of feminine virtues.
It is I who has not been caring enough.
Your Majesty, actually...
That's enough! I can't stand it any longer.
No use staring at me.
If I won't spill it all out, I can't call myself a man.
You...'sparing no efforts'. 'Embodiment of feminine virtues'.
What nonsense!
'For the benefit and well-being of the people'? 'Exhausted?'
Nonsense!
Sire, actually Prince Weng was abused to within an inch of his life.
He is on the verge of going mad.
Prince Dor Luk, why do you want to drive a wedge between Prince Weng and I?
To undermine our mutual trust?
Prince Dor Luk...
I have stood up and there is no turning back.
Your Majesty, if you see Prince Weng's scars
you will know what a loving couple they are.
This one, Princess Wing Ho hit him repeatedly with a bronze mirror.
This one was made last month.
She threw a bowl of hot soup on him.
Tragic? Not yet?
Prince Weng has worse scars on his chest, back, and inner thighs.
Let me show you.
Prince Dor Luk, please, forget it.
Your Majesty, I did these to myself.
Prince Weng, stop worrying. We have already gone this far.
His Majesty is all discerning, he will know what is true.
Actually, even his backside is not spared.
Let me show it to you.
No... Prince Dor Luk, no...
I've seen enough. Spare him the embarrassment.
Your Majesty, I have not just heard about Prince Weng's tragic life.
I have witnessed it myself.
It was Kam's Gold' s reopening.
Princess Wing Ho, in full public view
she took a gold box and hit Prince Weng on the head.
Prince Weng passed out before the box fell on him.
It gave me such a fright.
Prince Weng, it is all right. You can tell us.
Has Princess Wing Ho ever treated you as a human being? Tell us.
You made it up! Princess Wing Ho is a woman of feminine virtues.
Shut up!
If she is a woman of feminine virtues, you must be full of tenderness and care?
But that's not what Prince Chi Kung says.
He says you are selfish and cold-hearted.
You have no care for your parents-in-law.
You won't let him support them.
You are unethical, unfilial and despicable.
- What nerve! - How audacious!
What? I am not done yet.
You are all guilty!
You wait for your turn.
Now, where was I?
Princess Chiu Yeung, you are opinionated, haughty and conceited.
You finds faults with everyone.
The Kam family gives you wide berth
but you give them hell everyday and threaten their lives!
Princess Chuen Ping, you are a spendthrift and mean in character.
It was freezing cold and yet you ordered Prince Po out to sweep snow.
He was so woeful and yet you found it joyful.
I say... I say you should be given multiple slaps!
If you want a feminine model, make sure you avoid her at all costs.
Princess Chun Huai, you are all sweetness outside but villainous inside.
You pray on one hand and cuss on the other.
You have no place for morals and virtues.
What makes you think you have the right to give this prince such a fright?
Prince Dor Luk, these are my daughters. I will straighten them out.
They have been pampered their whole lives.
Sometimes they may act spoiled.
Your Majesty, that's why I now turn to you.
You are now on trial!
- What nerve! - How audacious!
Kam Dor Luk, you have some nerve!
I am the head of the state. I brought peace to the country.
Even barbarians have to pay me their respects.
You dare to put me on trial?
I, Kam Dor Luk, now put my life on the line.
A brave man only dies once.
I will pull no punches.
So that I will not die a dunce.
Here we go.
