Episode Eleven
Is the food for us ready?
The guards of Yue,
Why do you come here in person today?
Where are your servants?
Half of the male servants were sent to the Red Hills Court
to help clean up the dirt in the lake and move things.
They are short of servants.
I wonder
whether they can find
the hair clasp I lost
in the lake.
Jin Si,
compare to the entire lake,
your hair clasp is way too small
to be discovered.
You better just focus on your job.
Don’t think about it.
At least there is still hope, right?
You spend your whole day in the kitchen,
cooking and doing chores,
how can you possibly know what is going on outside?
Let me tell you,
a few years ago,
they evev found
the skill flowers lost by Concubine Sun
of the second branch two months ago.
Really?
This is the wooden beads
given by my late mother.
Sixth Sister, what should we do?
After the Cold Food Festival,
Yuwen Huai is going to clean up the dirt in the lake.
They will definitely discover
Miss Song’s corpse.
If they chase it back to us,
the three of us will be dead.
That’s why we are escaping tonight.
Escaping?
Yuwen Yue will go out to appreciate the lanterns.
Use your entry cards to get out
and wait for me in the steward in the northern gate of the city.
Are you coming with us?
I will be there in a moment.
What if
you can’t leave back then?
Don’t worry. I have a way.
There is some food in the bag,
and some money.
After Yuwen Yue goes out tonight,
I will steal the stamp,
and get the statement of freedom.
Then I will go to find you.
If I am not here
by 1 a.m.,
you don’t need to wait for me anymore.
No.
We won’t leave the steward until you come.
If you don’t show up,
we will come back and find you.
No.
Remember.
If anything happens,
you can’t implicate yourselves
in Miss Song’s death
in any way.
Understood?
If they find
Miss Song’s corpse,
what will you do?
That’s right.
Don’t worry.
I have my own way.
I will order additional guards
to go with you.
That’s not necessary.
This trip needs to be as simple as possible.
I don’t like the crowd.
Xing’er, you are here as well.
His Young Master had
this new clothes made for you.
Why are you giving me new clothes?
You better
dress up.
Tonight,
His Young Master is taking you to appreciate the lanterns.
Remember to act appropriate.
I will put on the new clothes
waiting for You Young Master tonight.
This clothes was
made for the lantern show
in Chang'an.
Thank you, Young Master.
Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager is unwell.
Therefore, the Emperor
cancelled the lantern show in Chang'an.
The Empress Dowager has made a full recovery.
May God bless the Empress Dowager.
Before the Cold Food Festival,
there is a birthday ceremony for the Emperor.
Someone suggested to host a lantern show
to celebrate the Emperor’s birthday.
Surprisingly, the Emperor agreed.
Xing’er, we will go there
as soon as you finish dressing up.
I have many chores to do.
Just follow His Young Master’ order.
His Young Master is going to attend the lantern show in the Street of Tortoise.
He can’t be alone without any servant.
When will we get back?
After I have enough fun.
After the lantern show,
you will be thirsty and hungry.
I will tell the kitchen staff to prepare some refreshments.
There is no need.
You don’t need to worry about this kind of things.
Hurry.
Yes, sir.
Princess, we have arrived at Chang’an.
Where are you here?
Be cautious. Don’t expose who you are.
Yes, Your Highness.
I will inform the Secret Repository
in Chang’an to wait for Your Highness.
There are many goods in Chang’an.
I’d like to ramble in the lantern show alone.
There is no need to inform the Secret Repository.
Yes, Your Highness.
Brother Yue,
I have finally arrived at Chang’an.
I am not here to visit you,
but to kill you.
We are born in this chaotic time.
Our States are opponents.
We better not meet and just each other in mind.
Come and see.
Please help yourselves.
Xiaoba,
can Sixth sister
escape safely?
My Seventh Sister,
this is not my main concern right now.
I think our Sixth Sister
probably has already found
the wooden beads.
What if
she already found out
about her antecedents?
I don’t think so.
She has never
seen the wooden beads before.
Besides…
But what if she…
Xiaoba, what do you think?
Before our parents were killed,
they left the wooden beads to Zhixiang
and they said it had something to do with the antecedents of out Sixth Sister.
I think there is
big secret inside.
So what if
she found out that we
are not her siblings,
and she decided not to
protect us anymore.
What should we do?
You are going to ride with me.
I will take you.
Young Master, it is inappropriate.
I can ride a horse myself.
You can ride?
Of course.
Find a good horse for Xing’er.
Yes, sir.
Rainbow. That’s unusual.
This is the sign from God that
someone will die.
Sign from God
is usually an excuse for people’s own decision.
An excuse?
Are you talking about
Rouran,
the one always wants to fight against the Wei State?
The Wei State has more than one enemy. Rouran is just one of them.
The spies from the Liang State are better at scheming.
The real trouble
is inside the Wei State itself.
Once the enemy outside
cooperates with
the ones inside,
the rain
will be as red as blood.
The rain of blood?
Let’s go.
You can excuse yourself now.
Thank you,
but I can do it myself.
Rainbow. That’s unusual.
I wonder which one of them
are the target.
Rainbow. That’s unusual.
That’s right.
Something horrible will happen in Chang’an.
What do you mean?
I am afraid
someone important will die.
Who do you think it will be?
- Who do you think it will be? - No idea.
It is going to be dark soon.
May God bless our Sixth Sister escape safely.
The wind from the north.
Is the danger coming from Yanbei?
Prince, here is the letter from the Duke.
Prince, is there any good news?
According to my father, everything is fine in Yanbei.
Last time, we fought against Rouran, the rebel.
His Majesty rewarded us.
He also said
I could stay in Chang’an and
don’t worry about anything.
Great.
I heard from the maids of the Green Hills Court that
His Young Master Yue
is going to take Xing’er to the lantern show.
You may excuse yourself now.
Yes, sir.
How beautiful.
We can get off now.
Excellent. Excellent.
I still have five hours.
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
Let’s go.
OK.
OK.OK.
Thank you.
OK.
Miss.
Miss, take a look.
Isn’t this lanterns beautiful?
It is a rabbit-shaped.
Isn’t it adorable?
Mister,
please buy one for her.
May God bless you.
Here.
Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.
How cute.
How ignorant.
Isn’t it cute?
If it isn’t cute, why did you buy it then?
I bought it because
it looks like you.
It suits you.
Take the horses to the side.
Then we can look around later.
Let’s go.
Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.
Come and take a look.
Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.
Hold onto me
Hold onto you?
Where exactly?
My sleeve.
Where do you want to hold onto?
It is too crowded.
I don’t want you to get lost,
saving me the trouble looking for you.
Come and guess lantern riddles.
The top reward is two silver.
Come and try.
- Young Master. - The top reward is two silver.
I want to go and guess the lantern riddles.
Come and guess lantern riddles.
The mister answered correctly.
- Impressive. - Great. Great.
The top reward is two silver.
Mister, you can claim your reward now.
OK.
Is there anyone else
who would like to try?
There is prize.
Does the prize include a beautiful woman?
I will give your beautiful woman as the prize.
Just kidding.
It is not that easy to guess these riddles.
Who else?
Who else would like to try?
Mister, would you like to try?
Miss.
I have never seen
someone as beautiful as you.
This is my prize. I will give it to you.
Thank you.
Are you here by yourself?
What…
Mister,
it is the present
I gave to her.
It’s none of your business.
I… I…
I shall forgive you this time.
Move it. Move it.
Why is he leaving?
Come on.
If you want that,
I can buy it for you.
Let’s go.
Where are we going?
To buy the candy.
I don’t want that.
Come and guess lantern riddles.
I want to play this one.
Mister, which one would you like to choose?
This one.
Don’t say it too early. Don’t say it too late.
The answer is one character.
Better sooner than later.
You think you can keep the secret,
so you never tell the truth.
In that case, the consequence will be pretty bad.
I know the answer.
It is the character “Xu”.
Miss,
you are so clever.
You are absolutely right.
Many people
thought this one was easy to guess,
but they could never
find the right answer.
Good job. Good job.
Don’t say it too early. Don’t say it too late.
You should say it at noon.
It is based on the writing of the character.
No wonder the answer is that.
Yes, that’s right.
Why didn’t I realise that?
It is based on the writing of the character.
That’ right.
It may look easy,
but it is actually quite difficult.
He is just saying. Don’t take it personally.
Since Miss
gave the right answer,
you can go to the pavilion on the right-hand side
and get your prize.
OK.
It is full of men.
They are all smelly.
Even if you win the top reward,
it won’t be anything good.
There is no need to claim it.
Since it is the top prize,
it represents good luck.
You Young Master please wait here.
I will go claim it.
Stop.
You wait here. I will go.
This mister is impressive.
Mister, it is very easy.
Take your time.
OK. OK.
I got it.
The answer is the character “Ning”,
The top reward is two silver.
Mister.
You are impressive.
You got it right again.
Thank you. Thanks.
Good job.
Excuse me. Miss.
The rabbit-shaped lantern you have
is quite adorable.
I would like to buy one
for my female companion.
Could you tell me where did you buy it?
Go straight and turn right at the third cross-road.
The sixth shop
at the Street of Tortoise.
It is sold there.
Miss, you have got a glib tongue.
We are not from Chang’an.
Could you please show us the way?
Sorry, but I am in a hurry.
If you like this,
you can have it.
Thank you very much.
The production of south areas
is no better than ours in Jiangnan
Your majesty
The girl
with the rabbit lamb
is not just anyone
Her eyes looks
same as the eyes of
the master of Wind and Cloud Decree a year ago
You are talking about
The person that killed Yuwen Hao
and hurt you badly
Are you sure
When I saw her
she was fully covered
except for her eyes
But her eyes
were unforgettable
When I chased her till the river
I took a chance
and killed the Viper
with one strike
In the carriage
I tore apart her clothes
and saw the pattern of Equinox Flower
on her back
I know she was the daughter of Luo He
But her inner power : Kungfu of Ice
was of the highest level
Although she was deeply wounded
when she saved people from the prison
I was not able to beat her
Things after that
I do not know
But I do remember
her fierce eyes
They seems the same
Then we follow her and take a look
the answer is yes or no
Yes
Take it
Who here can be so bold
Get away
Watch out
Careful
Your highness
The girl is not weak at gongfu
but cannot even compare to
the master of the decree
Then her partner came
Prince of Lord Dingbei , Yan Xun
Yan Xun
He came into our sight himself tonight
Your highness Don't worry
We have men waiting
outside the city killing him
Your move this time
really is incredible
Yinxin

the hunting field

The air on the bottom is poisoned
It's dangerous to stay here for long
How could we get out

Silly
We can't stay here the whole night
I have something important to do
It seems lower on that direction
We can climb from here
How about this
You go first on my shoulder

I can't leave my sisters alone
Yan Xun
a person that trust me so much
got trapped with poisoned air in it
If I don't help him

Sir.
Excuse me,

Yeah, I know them.
One dressed in red,
and the other in blue.
Yes, that's them.
Where are they?
I heard that
they are not ordinary girls.
They are abject slaves
without the statement of freedom.
They...
were taken away
by several dandies.
Taken... taken away?
Where?
According to the direction,
they may go to the city wall.
As to what they want...
It's quite obvious,
I think.
