Episode Nine
Jin Zhu.
(Sound of the pot breaking)
I did not push her.
She jumped herself.
right there.
Jin Zhu, now we have first-hand proof.
You can’t get away with this now.
It wasn’t me.
It was Xing’er.
But she jumped.
I don’t think so.
I saw Sister Jin Zhu
went into the flower stand secretly
with this pot.
You clearly wanted to destroy the evidence
after hurting His Young Master.
Now you are trying to frame my Sixth Sister.
Nonsense.
Yue Qi. They are sisters.
They are the ones who are
trying to frame me together.
You can’t trust them.
All right.
I will trust you for now.
How about Xing’er?
Where is she?
She jumped.
Prince Yan Xun,
what are you doing here?
What’s your excuse?
Why are you here?
Jumping off a cliff.
Jin Zhu, repeat what you just said.
It’s true.
I saw her jumping off
with my own eyes.
These snakes
were brought by her.
I swear.
Jin Zhu,
how stupid do you think I am?
You are saying she jumped off the cliff
in order to frame you?
Mister Zhu,
My Young Master was hurt by snakes.
Now we have found the culpable.
You saw it yourself.
There is no need for me to any more time.
Mister Zhu,
you need to trust me.
You need to trust me.
It isn’t true.
As you brew, so you must drink.
Someone please come
and take Jin Zhu to the prison holding guilty slaves.
Yes, sir.
Xiaoba doesn’t look sad at all.
What if it was all plotted?
If you don’t want to be found,
you better behave.
Don’t pull some petty tricks.
She is right down there.
We need to find her, no matter what.
Mister Zhu,
she jumped off such a high cliff,
she didn’t have a chance of survival.
Do you want to bet with me
whether she is alive or not?
You are right.
Anyone who jumps off this cliff
will definitely die.
You are a Prince,
yet you are hiding in this cave.
You must be up to
something suspicious.
I am just here, enjoying the cold.
What’s wrong with that?
It’s none of your business.
Of course, it’s not my business.
You are way too ungrateful.
I just saved your life
and didn’t get you away.
How are you going to repay me?
The ungrateful kitten.
You are leaving now?
What’s the matter, Prince Yan Xun?
I don’t want to owe you.
I will repay you when I have the chance.
I need to go now.
Prince.
There is a hidden cave down the cliff.
His Young Master ordered us
to close it down.
Please make sure you didn’t leave
any personal belonging there.
A hidden cave?
What are you talking about?
It certainly has nothing to do with me.
It’d better that way,
but according to Young Master Yue,
you have been hidden there
home sicking and crying
for the past two years.
If we close it down,
you will go back to Yanbei sooner.
No offence.
Young Master,
that wicked maid jumped off a cliff,
but I think there is something wrong here.
I know things
would end this way.
That wicked maid was taught
by Yuewen Yue after all.
Don’t underestimate her.
Then what should I do next?
Take her sister here.
What should I do?
Sixth Sister. Sixth Sister.
Something bad happened.
Xiaoba was taken away.
(Sound of doors closing)
What is going on?
I have no idea.
What if
What if Young Master Yue found out
we framed Jin Zhu?
Don’t worry.
It is not necessarily Yuwen Yue who took Xiaoba away.
Where were they heading?
The prison holding guilty slaves.
I need to check it out.
Sixth Sister.
Please be quick. I am scared.
Don’t be. Just wait for me here.
You are Xing’er, right?
(Sounds of pulling out swords)
We have been waiting for you.
Please.
Young Master,
your eyes have fully recovered,
but you better be careful
and don’t catch a cold
in the next few days.
Otherwise, the cold will hurt you
and you will be blind again.
OK.
Young Master,
Xing’er jumped off a cliff.
Don’t worry.
She won’t die.
It’s not just me who are
covering for her.
Young Master, the Master is alive now.
Wicked maid. Kneel down now.
Young Master, please have a seat.
Young Master Huai,
here is that wicked maid.
Yes, sir.
You are only a maid,
but you certainly have some balls
to fight against me.
How dare you.
Young Master Huai,
please tell me
exactly what you mean.
I am only an uneducated maid.
Your words are too sophisticated.
I don’t understand.
All right then.
Zhu Shun.
Yes, Young Master.
Let her understand.
Yes, sir.
Go on.
I am the personal attendant
to Young Master Yue of the first branch.
There is no need for Young Master Huai
of the third branch to teach me manner.
Nonsense.
You are very mouthy for
a wicked maid
You only a lapdog
to Yuwen Yue.
Even if I kill you today,
will he stand up for you?
Even I am only a wicked maid,
I still belong to Young Master Yue.
No one else
has the authority to
decide my life.
Authority?
I better teach you a lesson today
about what authority really means.
Zhu Shun.
Yes, Young Master.
Let’s teach this pretty little girl
a good lesson today.
Yes, sir.
Did you hear that?
His Young Master let me
let you a good lesson.
(Sounds of people falling into the water)
(Man yelling)
I will kill you.
I dare you.
Let’s see then.
Young Master, just kill her.
You are such a fool.
If Young Master Huai really wanted to kill me,
he would never do it himself
and go through so much trouble.
Am I right, Young Master Huai?
(Smirking and clapping)
Interesting.
No wonder Yuwen Yue
values you so.
Young Master Huai,
I am only a maid.
I only want to live
in peace.
Although I know
you were the one who gave Jin Zhu the order,
I have never thought
to fight against you.
What happened today
is an unfortunate tragedy.
She was jealous of me
because Yuwen Yue prefers me over her
and tried to get rid of me for several times.
I gave in every time.
However, she wanted to kill me so badly that
if I did not fight back,
I would definitely die.
I framed Jin Zhu.
But as for you, Young Master Huai,
I pay every respect to you.
I hope you can understand.
You are saying
Jin Zhu was jealous of you
because Yuwen Yue prefers you over her?
Young Master Huai, didn’t you know?
Sister Jin Zhu would kill to be
the maidservant of bedchamber to Yuwen Yue.
She was so in love with Young Master Yue.
She wanted to get rid of me,
causing me trouble.
This is no secret
in the Green Hills Court.
How did you know I was the one
who gave Jin Zhu the order?
Do you know for sure or
are you just pretending?
Are you covering for
Yuwen Yue?
You are the personal attendant to Yuwen Yue.
You must know the stamp.
That’s right.
He was the one who gave the order
to expel you from the Green Hills Court.
He doesn’t care about your life.
Besides,
your sister, Xiaoba,
has already confessed
what you did in the cliff.
It must be hard for you.
You have no way out now.
For you,
dying without pain is
very unlikely.
How about this?
Betrayed by the people you trust.
You must feel so bad.
Most importantly,
what others want you to see,
while where your ability
leads you.
But I still would like to know
how did you know I was the one
who gave Jin Zhu the order.
Then I need to meet with
Sister Jin Zhu.
Why is that?
You probably won’t
trust my words.
When I meet with Sister Jin Zhu,
you will get to the bottom of it.
Bring Jin Zhu here.
Yes, sir.
(Sound of the stone door opening)
Young Master.
Grandfather.
You are finally awake.
Here is the cure, Young Master.
The cure.
Give it to me. There is only one left.
Yue,
your effort paid off.
If you didn’t give me the cure of resurrection,
I would be dead now.
Have you made some progress these days?
Unfortunately, the Emperor
did not trust me.
The Eyes of God hasn’t been reinitiated.
I am sorry that I let you down.
I deserve to be punished.
This is not your fault.
The Eyes of God hasn’t been operating for years.
This is not my main concern.
However, Xing’er, the maid,
has martial art
and no one knows about her past.
Why do you still keep her by your side?
If she assassinates you…
She won’t.
You never know.
Why do you trust her?
I gave her a chance
to beat her enemy to death,
but she did not want to do that.
Even in that situation,
she was able to maintain her goodness.
That’s why I trust her.
(Laughing)
Goodness?
It just means she is not suitable
to be a cold-hearted spy.
She is useless then.
Spies often are interpreted as cold-hearted,
but they only maintain this character
so that they can sacrifice themselves
for the greater cause anytime.
Without goodness,
how can they be loyal to their masters?
Besides, Xing’er
has many potentials
to be an excellent spy.
She acts without hesitation,
observes and memorises every little detail
and she will fight for her life
like a beast.
That’s ridiculous.
Did you forget the noble bloodline of
the Yuwen Household?
Did you forget you promised me
you would never
fall for a maid?
I did not fall for her.
From the very beginning,
I am only taking advantage of
Xing’er.
My dear grandson,
in order to save me,
you were even willing to sacrifice yourself.
I know how loyal you are to me
and to the Yuwen Household.
As long as the Eyes of God
has not been fully initiated,
the Green Hills Court will always be the weak.
Your only mistake was that
you did not get rid of Xing’er as soon as possible.
You let Yuwen Huai
have control over her.
But I still believe
Xing’er can be
an extraordinary spy.
There is something in her
no one else has.
She can complete the task
an ordinary guard of Yue will fail.
I think it is time for the Green Hills Court
to step in and save her.
So you are only interested in
her potentials?
If she can’t get out of the prison alive,
she is undoubtedly useless then.
The Green Hills Court will not rescue her.
Yes, sir.
I got it.
Young Master.
Here comes Jin Zhu.
What do you want to say to her?
I’d like to talk with
Jin Zhu alone.
OK.
She is all yours.
What’s your last word?
Feel free.
Young Master Yue expelled me from the Green Hills Court.
Did you have anything to do with this?
(Laughing)
You are expelled from the Green Hills Court?
How does it make you feel?
The abandonment.
Are you sad?
Are you devastated?
It looks like that
His Young Master is tired of me already.
You are only a maid from the steppe,
yet you wish to be noble.
It is only your day dreaming.
Don’t feel so good about yourself.
You really think
after getting rid of me
you can stay by Young Master Yue’s side?
I think you better not
have a foot in both camps,
being devious
and two-faced.
What are you talking about?
Stop pretending.
Both you and I are maids.
What kind of hatred would
drive you to kill me by all means?
It’s because you love Young Master Yue
and you are jealous of me.
Nonsense.
Jin Zhu,
I heard the whole conversation between you and
Young Master Yue in the backroom.
You are about to die,
yet you still want to frame me.
That’s right.
His Young Master is already tired of me now.
I have no place
in his Household.
I know for certain that
I will die today.
I want to beg you,
for the sake that I never caused you trouble,
to help my two sisters and spare them.
OK.
As your wish.
All right. I shall kill you first.
Your sister will be the next.
Stop it.
Young Master.
Please let me kill her.
She has been talking nonsense.
Don’t you dare tell me whether to believe her or not.
You are this eager to kill
only because you are afraid that
she would say something harmful you, right?
I…
Put the sword down.
(Sound of dropping a sword)
You can continue now.
Young Master Huai, I will tell you,
but I have one condition.
I hope you can spare my two sisters,
free them so they don’t have to be slaves anymore,
and give them some money.
As long as they are safe and sound,
I am all yours.
You are only a guilty slave.
How dare you saying this out loud?
You are a noble and resourceful man,
with many people working under you.
You probably can’t tell
who is loyal to you and who is not.
If there is someone
disloyal to you,
that person can cause you a lot of trouble.
Stop talking this nonsense.
Shut up.
Young Master, she is devious.
You can’t trust her.
If you say another word,
I will make sure you die before her.
Continue.
I want to see my sister first.
OK.
Bring Xiaoba here.
Sixth Sister.
Here she comes.
Start talking.
After I become the maidservant of bedchamber
to Young Master Yue,
His Young Master teaches me how to read and write.
Sometimes, he even teaches me some martial art
to protect myself.
There is one time
I sneaked into
his backroom to read,
His Young Master suddenly returned.
I was very scared
so I hided myself.
Then,
I heard
the conversation between Jin Zhu and Young Master Yue.
She said that she followed Young Master Huai’s order
and killed Great Master Zhuo.
She felt very guilty and could not sleep.
She loves Young Master Yue,
but she killed His Young Master’s loved one.
She could not forgive herself.
Nonsense.
I have never said a word of these.
You are only
framing me.
Framing you?
What are you talking about?
Jin Zhu, you are the one who framed me.
I am the maidservant of bedchamber to Young Master Yue.
I have slept with
His Young Master.
If His Young Master did not believe in your lies
and trusted you,
how could he
expel me from the Green Hills Court?
I didn’t do that.
You didn’t?
His Young Master trusted you
only because of your beauty and seduction?
He even expelled me
because of you.
He never expelled you
or trusted me.
That statement was falsified
by Young Master Huai.
So it was
falsified by Young Master Huai.
- You fool. - I…
Young Master, I am so sorry.
Let’s kill her.
Sell her to the brothel.
Take her away.
- No. - Hurry up.
Young Master.
- Go. - Young Master.
Go. Go.
Jin Xiaoliu,
you will pay for what you did today.
Get away
Prince Yan
You You cannot get in here
Prince Yan Prince Yan
You cannot get in here
Who is so annoying
I
Your highness
I want to talk to someone here
Wait prince
They are all humble slaves here
How could anyone you want
is here
Pretty smart
Not that I am too smart
She is too stupid
Feeling so comfortable framing other people
I am not framing her
I'm telling the truth
Master
Such a stupid
disloyal slave
feels comfortable to use
No actually
How about changing into a smarter
one that worth your trust
Your condition is
I hope you could let
my sisters go
How can I trust
you little fox
How could you know
you can't without trying
I prefer not to
I'd rather kill you right now
What if
you become my enemy later on
(Yelling)
Sister
Pretty busy
Prince Yan has been visiting me
really frequently recently
Had you fallen in love
with this girl
If you and I
fight because of a girl
we will surely be laughed at
Love is too serious
I am just interested
You know I am
the idlest person in Chang'an
Hard to find something interesting
that I'd like to check on now and then
Just for a slave
are you sure you want to meddle
Master Huai
We are friends
Is it such a big deal
to give me just two slaves
No
You are right
I know you are
such a kind person
Thank you for not killing me
I should leave
Goodbye
Sister
I can do it myself
Give me the medicine
Still hurt
It's okay
What
Forget who I am so soon
Thank you for saving us, your highness
Thank you, prince
How about I
go to the Green Hills
to talk to Yuwen Yue
Although you are so persuasive
this is between Yuwen family
Let me tell him myself
after I go back
Fine
But if he doesn't treat you well
go find me at my place
Thank you your highness
Here Take it
It's good for your wound
Thank you prince
Can you two
go back together
Yes
Time to go
Fengmian
By the way Don't forget
You owe me once, again
Have to pay back later on
Sister
Butler Zhu
Anything else
Our master Huai wants to remind you
If you obey
your promise
he won't look into
what your sisters had done
What are you talking about
I don't understand
You deny it
How could I confess something I hadn't done
Master Huai is overestimated me
Butler Zhu
If nothing else for us
we are leaving
The Green Hills Courtyard
You sent me telling Yan Xun
He has saved Xing'er
by now
What is she doing
She has gone back to her room
I told her to serve you
But she ignored me acting moody
Enough
Enough Enough Enough
Enough Eno
Sister Jinzhu
What are you doing here
I'm here to see you
How does it feel
Being framed
feels good
No
I don't want to go to the place
without any hope
Xing'er
Please help me
I know your family
are the kindest people
Kind
Because Linxi is kind
he should be framed up and killed
Right
But he would die sooner or later
Why
Because he has been so loyal to master Yue
Master Huai said
that he has to die
Sister Jinzhu
It's you that have to die
You give the poisoned counting-rod
to him
to make him a scapegoat
No I am just ordered
You know
The mastermind is Yuwen Huai
I'm just a maid
I was also forced to do it
There were no other choice for me
I didn't want to hurt anyone either
I don't want to be sold to the brothel
A thrown slave like me
would rather die than live after being sold
You know it
Please
Please help me
Help me
I help you
Then tell me
Would brother Linxi agree
He will
Linxi he surely will
Linxi was the kindest person
He surely will
I know I was wrong
I worked for Yuwen Huai
But he kicked me away
I know I was wrong
Fine
Since you regreted
I give you a chance
The guards here
will be awake an hour later
Change the clothes here
And leave Yuwen family
Wait
Sister Jinzhu
Will you betray me
after you get out of prison
Xing'er I owe you
too much
If I ever betray you
You can have me killed and thrown like rubbish
I swear
Okay
You'd better keep your promise
The clothes of low slaves
Xing'er
All I am suffering
is because of you
Just wait
Master Huai
Stop
Master Huai
You are really tricked by that slave
Jinzhu has always
been loyal to you
Never betrayed you
The slave
let you suspect me
on purpose
Master
Please do not trust her
I am asking you
Why are you here
Xing'er
set me off
She wants me to leave you
Master Huai
She also gave me this
The ID for leaving
Please trust me
Was not Xing'er that saved you
I think it's her master
The ID for leaving the border
I don't know what it is
Really
It's not mine
I don't know what it is
Really
Yuwen Yue gave you ID
to leave here and to leave the border
He let people there to care you
No
He really likes you
You tell me
Yuwen Yue
What on earth did he give you
Is this it
The document for releasing the slave
No
It isn't
After the incident of Snow Jade Dog
Yuwen Yue only struck you
for twenty times
You have long be doubted
I only want to follow master Huai
Please trust me Master Huai
Master I can be your bedchamber
I can be your bedchamber tonight
Come here
Sit beside me
Tell the Green Hills
Xing'er killed Jinzhu
Move
Yes
Jinzhu
I gave you a chance
Being abandoned
is what you deserves
This turns out to be the document for releasing
Master
Where is Xing'er
Have you seen her
After she came back
she said she feel bad
and went to sleep early
A'luo lead the way
You shall leave
Yes
Master
Did I do anything wrong again
They said you feel bad
after getting out of prison
So I come to see you
I am fine
Please go back
Xing'er
Bring me a tea
Could master
leave for a moment
I will bring you
the tea later on
I want the tea now
Feeling bad
Then lay down
Sister
You are here
Sister
Here
Jinzhu is dead
Jin Zhu was such a tough woman.
She know Kongfu. She has strong background.
At first, when our 6th sister was planning
I was worried that she got away with it
But sister beat her
We never tend to hurt her
But she keeps attacking us
I didn't want to frame her
What happened to her
Is caused by herself
How about Yuwen Yue
Will you
let him pay
I overheard the talk
between Yuwen Huai and Mister Zhu
They
were talking about Miss Song
Make the dead speak
I will let people know
what these sisters had done sooner or later
Understood
Jinzhu is dead
The death of Miss Song is no longer a secret
We should react
instead of waiting for death
Sister
what should we do
Don't worry I got an idea
