[Can't Buy Me Love]
Episode 31
His Majesty wanted to send Songtsan Gampo some gold vessels.
The assignment involves diplomatic relations.
I'm afraid I'm not qualified.
The fact you married me proves you have rare talents.
I have a fire burning inside me.
So what if Yau Wai is not my son?
You're no different from my natural parents.
You're a Turk?
Yes, so are you!
Turks are our arch enemies.
Friends of the enemy are my enemies.
You're shameless to side with the Turks.
- You're not a patriot! Let's... - Go!
Make sure we don't come here again.
We must bypass this shop.
You hate Turks?
Not really, but we'll be family soon. We should hate the same enemy.
You're so good to me
We can do better.
We have new stock at the shop.
Lots of beautiful pieces.
I'll pick a few things for your wedding.
- We should! - Thank you!
We'll head back to the shop. Yau Wai, keep looking for fabrics.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Heaven is so good to me.
I can finally feel the warmth of a family.
Your Mother likes pears.
These are sour! The last ones I bought from you were sweet.
Different species have different places of origin.
Of course they taste different.
I don't want them anymore.
It's normal... even the same species of tangerine
will yield different fruits if they're on different banks of the river.
It happens all the time.
I don't understand.
The same applies to the Turks. Not all Turks are bad.
You're defending Turks?
We're at peace. Can't we forget the past?
A leopard will not change its spots.
Revenge is not good for anyone.
I must avenge my parents!
The Turks killed my parents. I'll never forgive the Turks.
Turks have suffered in the war too.
They are invaders who killed our men and turned our women into widows.
Don't you remember?
I don't want you to get upset.
Smile! Let's have some noodles.
I don't want noodles.
I'll hold your hand.
Don't bring up the Turks anymore.
Let's go.
Yip Fan Fong's wedding has been canceled.
What? They were love at first sight.
Their families have a long-standing feud.
They ended up in jail.
Heaven played a joke on them.
Arch enemies can never be together.
They're destined to be apart.
Yau Wai... terrible news!
I just received a letter.
The family tomb has been destroyed by rain.
We must go home and repair it right away.
But you're getting married and the date is fixed.
We don't know what to do.
I can't sit still, I'm so anxious.
Repair the tomb first.
Leaving Cheung On is the safest.
- Safe? Why? - Is Cheung On in danger?
Of course! The family tomb is destroyed.
We're descendants from our ancestors.
If they're not at peace, neither are we.
It's bad luck for us if the tomb is ruined.
We must go home and repair the tomb and come back for the wedding.
Good point!
I'll apply for leave right away and go home with you.
Good!
What about Ngan Ping?
- Split! - What?
Who's splitting?
I'm talking about work.
Mandarin ducks are colorful. Lotus is pretty and refined.
Buy both.
But I'm not very good. It'll take me until dawn to sew them.
This is a very good shop.
Central location, good feng shui and the price...
I'm getting married soon.
I should avoid him and stop thinking about him.
I'll discuss it with my brother.
Let me know once you decide, goodbye.
Watch your step!
Bye!
It's her! She's getting married, what's the point?
Hawthorn juice is good for digestion...
Hawthorn juice...
Tasty hawthorn juice...
Hawthorn man!
Hawthorn guy!
Give me a bowl...
Sorry, only one bowl left.
You can have it.
You know each other, why don't you share?
- All right! - All right!
Thank you, Master Shau! You're my benefactor.
You're welcome.
How's your head?
It's fine.
How could it be? You passed out after they hit you on the head.
You were injured? What happened?
I was mugged.
He was lucky that I passed by. I recognized him and carried him home.
It was so long ago.
Not really! It was when it rained just a bit ago.
After I carried you home, you sent me money!
With that money, I was able to send my child to the doctor!
Raining? Was it the eighth?
Yes! My son had a stomachache.
You meant to come meet me, but you were mugged.
It's fate.
Why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to, but you chose Yuman Kit.
His Majesty also gave his approval.
Does the Princess know?
Yes, but I asked her not to tell you.
You're already engaged. Why make things more complicated?
Is this our destiny?
We're always missing each other.
It's all settled now.
How can I be so stupid?
Now it's breaking my heart.
You're not stupid.
You don't covet, complain, hate, or lie.
You always bring happiness to others.
Remember to bring some to yourself.
That's the Ng Sz Tak I know.
I only remember you holding the umbrella for me.
The longevity locket you made me.
How can I forget that?
Sz, don't look back!
You must love the one you're with.
I believe that years from now, when you have children
You'll be happy you made the right decision.
Yuman Kit is not only a philanthropist, he also loves you.
He'll make a good husband. You'll be happy, married to him.
With all of my heart, I wish you the best.
I hope that you will find a new wife soon.
Your Majesty, regarding the editing of the records on gold vessels
I'm currently researching the section on coffins.
I should be finished by the end of the year.
Good!
Your Majesty, General Hung Biu Yung requests an audience.
Send him in.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
General Hung, you're stationed at the border.
What brings you here?
The shipment of gold vessels to the Tibetan Palace was sabotaged by rebels.
They set off explosives during the hand-over ceremony.
I've hurried here to make a full report.
Any casualties?
Dozens were injured, including the royal concubines and ministers.
Were the assassins arrested?
They committed suicide on the spot.
The Emperor is furious. He has accused us of conspiracy.
Minister Law, how much do you know?
I was busy with editing the records. Prince Dor Luk was in charge.
Dor Luk?
Prince Dor Luk is not a rebel. I'm sure he was set up.
If he's in charge of the transportation, he should be held responsible.
It's justified for the Tibetan Emperor to investigate this matter.
Diplomatic relations are at stake. I must handle this with discretion.
Tibet fell for it.
He thought the Tangs sent the assassins.
Kam Dor Luk is the son-in-law and the Emperor loves Chiu Yeung.
He'll let him off easy.
If he doesn't give Tibet an answer, they'll easily go to war.
We'll profit from their conflict.
While Tang fights off the Tibetans, we'll attack from the back.
We'll strike while Tang is at war.
My brow is twitching.
Left is evil, right is good.
- Really? - Or is it the other way around?
Chiu Yeung...
Greetings, Princess Chun Huai!
What is it?
I went to see Father about Prince Tak Leung.
I've heard bad news.
What?
Rebels sabotaged the gift procession and blew explosives at the Tibetan Palace.
Court ministers and concubines were injured.
Dor Luk was in charge of that assignment!
He's in big trouble.
This is a diplomatic crisis!
Songtsan Gampo was furious, he wants an answer.
Let's go see His Majesty.
It's too late! Father issued an order for the arrest of the Kam family.
I'm afraid they're here.
I've heard from Grandma, she's having a good time.
She's doing a lot of sight seeing.
She's enjoying herself, I'm so jealous.
- Dor Luk! - Princess?
- Dor Luk... - Chiu Yeung.
The Imperial Edict!
What are you doing?
- Mom Loi Hei... - Mother!
An Imperial Edict for the Kams...
By order of His Majesty the Emperor
Kam Dor Luk failed His Majesty and is guilty of negligence.
He allowed the rebels to bomb the Tibet Palace and caused casualties.
He destroyed diplomatic relations with Tibet.
His heinous crime implicated his family.
He deserves to die.
- Guards! Take them into custody! - Yes!
I'm not part of this family. You have no right to arrest me.
I have my orders, Princess.
Let me finish...
I'm only asking you to wait.
General, you saw me when I slapped my mother-in-law.
You saw how vicious I was.
I saw her with my own eyes.
She was disrespectful and cruel.
I can attest to her high-handedness.
She's my mother-in-law.
I'm guilty of impudent insubordination.
Beating up on her is in breach of the seven rules.
I cut off ties with them, even if Kam Dor Luk doesn't want to.
The state will force us to separate.
From this moment onward
I'm no longer married to Kam Dor Luk.
We're through with each other.
What happens to him is none of my business.
Good. Good idea.
To show I mean it, we'll do the three claps.
First clap, I break my pledge of love.
We will not grow old together.
Second clap, I end this marriage.
We'll be separated.
Third clap, we're through with each other.
We'll go our separate ways.
Whether you live or die is not my concern.
You're no longer a part of this family.
You should try to get away.
Go, as far as you can.
Even if you can't do anything, you must not follow us.
I'd rather not see you in Hell.
I won't let you die.
I'm certain we'll meet again.
- Take them away! - Yes!
Watch it! My wife is pregnant!
Take care, Sz.
You mean the world to me, Master Shau.
Move it!
Your Highness!
Eunuch Pang, I want to see Father.
His Majesty is busy.
I must see Father.
I'm sorry, he will not see anyone.
Then I'll kneel here until he'll see me.
I can't believe this is happening.
It's my fault.
Don't say that, Dor Luk.
We urged you to take this assignment.
I hope Chiu Yeung can turn things around by slapping me.
Chiu Yeung is very resourceful.
If she was taken into custody, no one could intercede for us.
It must be tough for Dor Luk.
Chiu Yeung and I love each other.
The separation is just a formality. It won't change how we feel.
I'm both happy and sad about the three claps.
I'm happy because Chiu Yeung got away.
And I'm sad because we may not see each other again.
Dor Luk, pregnant women bring good luck.
I can block any adversity.
We'll get out of this in one piece.
Chiu Yeung is resourceful, she'll find a way to save us.
She's His Majesty's favorite.
He won't want to see her become a widow.
His Majesty will let us go after he appeases Tibet.
He's just trying to scare us.
I'm innocent.
I did nothing to endanger this country. I'm not guilty.
His Majesty won't frame the innocent.
He loves his people like his children. He'll watch out for us.
It's no big deal. I'll get some rest.
See? They're letting us out already.
By His Majesty's order, cuff them and take them outside.
Cuff us?
Where are we going?
Please get up, Princess.
His Majesty won't see you.
- Chiu Yeung... - Chiu Yeung...
You're all here.
Chun Huai told us everything.
Kneeling won't do any good. Get up.
- Get up! - Get up!
- Get up, Princess.
We'll help you figure something out. We'll go see Father together.
This is a very serious matter. I don't want to get you in trouble.
We agreed that if we act together, we can conquer anything.
You said family is worth more than gold.
You're my sister, we can't sit back and do nothing.
We want to see Father.
Princess Ching Wan, His Majesty forbids anyone to go in.
Get out of my way!
We want to see Father.
No on can stop us.
Father... I beg of you.
Father, please...
His Majesty summons you all.
Greetings, Father.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
How dare you disturb His Majesty!
Father, lives are at stake. I urge you to have mercy.
The Kams have been loyal, please reconsider.
Chiu Yeung and Dor Luk love each other. Can you bear to keep them apart?
I'm willing to guarantee their innocence with my life.
Please look into the matter, Your Majesty.
Please have mercy, Your Majesty.
Father, let us speak to Tibet.
We can reason with Gar Tongtsan.
That's enough! I'm glad to see you with one heart and mind
and speaking on Chiu Yeung's behalf
but no matter what you do, I can't grant you your wish.
This is a state matter.
If I abuse the law and practice favoritism, how can I face my people?
Even if Dor Luk is guilty, he doesn't deserve to die, nor does his family.
Heaven knows what he did.
I'm sure he was framed.
I urge you to conduct a full investigation.
He was in charge of the gift procession.
He cannot shirk his responsibility.
If I don't do anything to satisfy Tibet, I'm afraid we'll go to war.
Other states may start to rebel.
It's useless to beg me, go away.
Father...
I'm not leaving until you pardon the Kams.
I urge you to reconsider.
Please, Father...
My mind is made up.
Why are you so cruel?
Sacrifices must be made for the benefit of the state.
I know you've separated from Dor Luk, and that's how you got away.
Why won't you let it go?
It's over for you and Dor Luk.
I'm not afraid to die.
I don't mind dying with the Kams.
I cut them off because I want you to spare them.
The safety of one family is nothing compared to that of the state.
Your personal life must not impact the safety of the people.
Chiu Yeung, you should know which is more important.
Father...
Chiu Yeung, there are other men.
I'll find you another husband.
Don't bother His Majesty anymore.
That's all I have to say.
To preserve diplomatic relations with Tibet, the Kams must die.
Father...
- Father, have mercy... - Your Majesty, please spare them...
Your Majesty, the ambassador has arrived to supervise the Kams' execution.
It's almost time, you should go.
Execution? That's not possible!
- Father... - No, Your Majesty...
Watch Chiu Yeung, don't let her leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Father... - Your Majesty...
Father...
Don't be difficult, Chiu Yeung.
Guard the door, don't let anyone in.
Make sure nobody goes out.
Let me out...
You suppose His Majesty will kill us?
Relax, Siu Yuk! They have procedures.
There's no trial, no chicken, and no signed testimony.
It's illegal to execute us just like that.
Chiu Yeung can fix anything. We should be fine.
His Majesty loves Chiu Yeung.
We'll land on our feet.
This is no exception.
Before Heaven crashes in, there'll be a way.
Chiu Yeung will save us in time.
We have done our share of good deeds.
Heaven will watch over us.
We'll be fine, hang in there.
The circumstances are scary.
His Majesty, the Emperor!
The Emperor is here?
We're doomed!
Where is Chiu Yeung?
Lady Suen, I beg you to let me go.
I can't disobey His Majesty.
What if I did let you go?
Your Father will not release the Kams in front of Gar Tongtsan.
If you can't change anything, being there will only break your heart.
Even if I can't change anything, I still want to see Dor Luk.
I won't let you.
I'll be accountable for my actions.
Lady Suen, please let her go.
You're friends with the Princess.
How can you bear to see them apart?
There's nothing I can do.
Where's your loyalty?
Chiu Yeung trusted you.
You even found her a husband.
You've already refused to help her. Now you won't even let her go?
I have my orders.
I won't get you in trouble.
She's running out of time!
I said no...
Oops... run, Chiu Yeung!
- Run! - Halt!
Stand down! We'll be accountable.
Kam Dor Luk is found guilty of dereliction of duty.
In regard to Tibet, you will be given a poisonous wine.
I commend you for upholding justice.
This isn't justice!
I have done nothing wrong.
My loyalty to my country is evident.
I know nothing about the rebels.
You can kill me for dereliction of duty, but my family is innocent.
Don't be stubborn, Kam Dor Luk.
Heaven takes pity on mankind.
By your order, even the unborn child will be killed.
I beseech you to pardon them.
Please have mercy!
I have no regrets if I can die for my wife.
Me too! I'm willing to die for my Mother.
It was my fault. I should be punished.
I don't want to bury you with me.
Heaven knows what's happening.
We have a clear conscience.
I'm confident we're in the right, even in Hell.
As members of the Kam family, we have nothing to fear.
- Mom Loi Hei! - Mom Loi Hei!
- Mother!
I have no regrets, having children like you.
I forbid you to cry or shed a tear.
We must die with dignity.
It's our good fortune to have each other in this life
as well as on our way to Hell.
We'll reincarnate soon.
I'm sure we'll be together again!
The spirit of the Kams...
We come with a cry, we go with a smile.
Do as you please, Your Majesty!
Give them the wine!
We'll go with a smile.
I'll see you again, Siu Yuk.
We'll be married again in the next life.
Your Majesty, take good care of Chiu Yeung.
Mother, I'll repay your ordeal in the next life.
Mom Loi Hei, I hope I can be your son again.
Goodbye, Mom Loi Hei!
Thank you for taking care of me.
A toast to you all, my children.
- Princess! - Get up!
Hang in there! I'll make it in time...
- There's justice... - You can do it!
Mom Loi Hei!
Mother!
Princess...
Don't die on me, Kam Dor Luk...
- Prince Dor Luk... - Dor Luk...
Dor Shau...
- Prince Dor Luk... - Princess.
Dor Luk...
Chiu Yeung...
Prince Dor Luk...
Dor Shau...
Dor Luk...
Prince Dor Luk...
Dor Luk...
Prince Dor Luk...
Dor Shau...
Dor Luk...
Prime Minister, they're dead.
Princess...
Bombing the Tibetan Palace should have destroyed their diplomatic relations.
Who would have imagined the bastard Emperor
would settle the dispute by executing the Kams?
He won't be so lucky next time.
Our troops and weapons are on their way.
They should arrive in two days.
Master, Miss Sz Tak wants to see you.
- Send her in. - Yes, sir.
Master Yuman.
What is it, Sz Tak?
I don't want to put you in a difficult position
but I really can't live with myself.
What is it?
I want to cancel the wedding.
What? What about the betrothal gifts?
They must arrive in Cheung On.
What happened? Tell me!
The Kams are dead and the Princess lost her husband.
Everyone is distressed.
This is bad timing for a wedding.
The Princess is like a sister to you. I appreciate how upset you must be.
But the gifts are on their way. I can't send them back.
I must spend time with the Princess.
I'm not in the mood to get married.
I hope you're considerate enough to cancel the wedding.
I know how you feel.
Trust me, I'll make the arrangements.
Let's not be public with the cancellation.
After all, we have His Majesty's blessing.
We don't want to be disrespectful.
I'll find the right time to tell him.
I'm sure he'll understand.
But...
My family is happy to come here for the wedding.
I'll make the arrangements so they won't worry.
That's true!
Spend as much time with the Princess as you can.
I'll take care of the wedding.
I'm sorry to let you down.
If we're meant to be married, the time will come.
There's no hurry.
Ambassador, I wish you the best of luck on your trip back home.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I have resolved the rebel situation quickly.
I'm sure your Emperor will understand
and won't let the incident impact our friendship.
Your Majesty is most resolute.
Now that the Kams are dead, I guarantee our friendship will remain intact.
Good!
Please!
Greetings, Father!
I came to redress an injustice to the Kams.
Chiu Yeung!
I urge you to conduct an investigation, catch the real instigator
and reinstate the Kams' reputation.
What's there to investigate?
Are you accusing us of framing the innocent?
Yes! They were framed.
They'll turn in their graves.
Taking six lives was extremely cruel.
I urge you to conduct an investigation.
Don't let them die in vain.
Shut up!
You taught me to have a clear conscience and know what's right and what's wrong.
But in order to appease Tibet
You closed the case in a hurry without finding the truth.
You killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Kam Dor Luk was negligent.
There were dozens of Tibetan casualties.
That's an undeniable fact.
Someone else masterminded the plot that led to the casualties.
Kam Dor Luk was framed.
You took six lives with a trumped up charge.
That's intolerable by any standard.
Are Tibetans stupid and unreasonable?
How dare you!
Chiu Yeung, just because I love you doesn't mean you can be unruly
and insult our honored guest.
For the sake of diplomatic relations
are you ready to defy justice and frame the innocent?
The country must come before the family.
If you offend the ambassador and ruin our diplomatic relations
war will take many more lives than I just did.
Your recklessness will have grave consequences.
No doubt you can face the Kams, but what about the Tang subjects?
Do you understand, Chiu Yeung?
I do.
Your Majesty, Princess Chiu Yeung is here.
Send her in!
Greetings, Father.
At ease.
I made dumplings for you.
I hope you'll forgive me for my recklessness.
I won't eat it.
Father...
This is not sweet soup, but lethal soup.
If I'm not mistaken, you plan to kill yourself and join Dor Luk in Hell.
You would break my heart. Can you stand it, Chiu Yeung?
I have no choice.
You were right to kill the Kams to save the people.
My mistake was I should never have been a Princess.
You're the Emperor.
The country must come before everything else for you.
But I'm part of the Kam family.
I promised Dor Luk I wouldn't let him die.
Now that I've lost him, I'm better off dead.
I hope you'll indulge me.
No! I won't.
Without my consent, even Yama won't take you.
Bamboos and flowers are not mortal forms.
Appearances can be deceiving.
Flowers don't whither because they're heartless.
Everything I did was to protect you.
Send these offerings to my mansion.
I will.
Be there at seven.
We need them for the Kams' service.
Don't worry, we'll be on time.
Where is Ngan Ping?
We're meeting her at noon at Hei Hing Lau.
She went to Wah Kwong Temple to ask the abbot the host the ritual.
She may be a bit late.
Princess?
Pok Yat Pok!
Greetings, Princess.
At ease.
I heard about the Kams. My condolences to you.
Dor Luk should have had a long life. I checked the birthdays of the Kams.
They should be an eminent family with great wealth.
They can't all be dead.
Looks like I'm not qualified as a fortune teller.
I might as well just quit now.
It's Gar Tongtsan's fault.
The Tibetan ambassador?
I begged Father to conduct an investigation to clear the Kams' name
but for the sake of diplomacy, Father dared not offend Gar Tongtsan.
He sacrificed the Kams to settle the dispute.
The ambassador represents the dignity of a country.
He's not to be offended.
Now the Kams are dead and I'm all by myself.
I'm not afraid of offending anyone.
Move away... hurry up in the back!
Yuman Kit is amazing.
Gifts are shipped to Cheung On daily.
He promised to cancel the wedding.
Why is he still shipping things to Cheung On?
Father wants us to assassinate Gar Tongtsan.
Once he's dead, Tibet will wage war against Tang.
We'll strike when they least expect it.
The last shipment has arrived.
We can take action tomorrow.
Under your leadership, we won't fail.
That smell... goat's milk?
You've been away from home for so long.
Your father knew you'd miss the food.
That's why he sent you this.
It won't be long now... I'll see Father soon.
- Here's to the cause! - To the cause!
Come...
Master, Princess Chiu Yeung is here with Miss Sz Tak.
Tell them I'm busy.
Yes, sir.
That's too bad.
Greetings, Princess.
At ease.
I'm tied up with family affairs. I hope you don't mind.
You promised to cancel the wedding.
Why do I still see shipments into Cheung On?
It was too late to send them back.
I plan to tell His Majesty and then donate the gifts to charity.
I see.
What's that smell?
We had lamb roast just now.
Serve them ginseng tea.
Sz, let's not intrude on Master Yuman.
- Let's go - All right.
What's your hurry?
Don't you want to see for yourself what sort of stamp is in the ashes?
I don't understand.
Then I'll explain.
What you saw is the seal of the Turkish Emperor.
