Episode Twenty-eight
(long sigh)
You,
are an old fox.
Princess.
Thank you for taking all these trouble, Dajian.
Has my father agreed?
Princess foretells things accurately.
You should be confident with yourself.
I don't have any plan...
You use some strong words.
I'm just desperate to help.
I hope that...
you can understand.
I will leave, then.
This Cold-Hearted Man has really worked at it.
His Majesty let Yuan Song
be in charge of Celestial Prison?
The...
the commission has arrived at the Ministry of Personnel.
Yuan Song will take up an official post tomorrow morning.
These old men are very active
when there's nothing to do.
But if things really happen,
they all turn silent.
His Majesty was in a fit of anger.
At that time,
nobody dared to take the risk.
Yuwen Yue
won't watch Yan Xun die
and do nothing.
Since he dares to set against me.
Then I will show no mercy
on him.
Young Master, you want to...
Go to the prison
and take back the warrant,
then take the killer of my grandfather to court.
Young Master, you want to...
Be quiet and go.
Yes, yes.
Where is Yan Xun?
Who are you?
Go!
Over there, over there.
Get up!
Chu!
Yan Xun!
Chu!
Yan Xun!
Don't move.
(Sound of laughing)
What did you do
to Yan Xun?
Miss Xing'er.
Could you please not
make things difficult for us servants?
Otherwise, Prince Yan Xun
will endure more tortures.
Take her away.
Yes.
Go.
Go to hell!
It is such a small world.
Tell me.
Now that you can't escape.
Master Zhang is also here.
Who was it that sent you to
kill my grandfather?
It was you.
Nonsense.
You are still covering up for Yuwen Yue, right?
Didn't you say that
Yuwen Yue was the one that sent you
to kill my grandfather that day?
Does it matter that who killed him?
You people in Yuwen Household are always
killing each other.
What is so interesting about one person's death?
Stubborn girl.
When you are put to torture,
I wonder if you can still be this stubborn.
Guards!
Young Master Yue arrives!
You are quite informed.
Master Zhang.
Young Master Yue,
this crime
was committed by your house slave.
It is supposed to
be dealt with inside your household.
However, Master Yuwen Xi
was an important official.
His case
has been recorded in Chang'an Hall.
Therefore,
I have to attend this interrogation.
As to how to deal with this matter,
I hope that you can decide after discussion.
Of course, you don't need to consider me and the authorities.
You have no right to deal with
the slave in my Green Hills Court.
The slave in your Green Hills Court
killed my grandfather.
Don't I have the right to deal with her?
Fine.
In this case, I will take her
and reply you later
after the interrogation.
Yue Qi, take Xing'er away.
(Sound of swords)
Yuwen Yue,
are you dreaming?
Why is it up tp you?
Do you like her?
What's the secret between you two?
Is your heart filled with pain?
Fine.
Do you feel hurt seeing her like this?
How embarrasing.
Taday, I will make
your life miserable.
A woman that I can't control
is inferior to a dead body.
Take her away.
Hold it.
Who knows whether she is really dead.
Master Zhang, please examine her.
Okay, I'll see if she's really dead.
Young Master Huai,
she is really dead.
Yuwen Yue,
I have looked down upon you.
My servant must be killed
through my hands.
Master Zhang, farewell.
Take care, Young Master.
Yue Qi,
take her away.
Young Master Yue,
His Majesty is summoning you.
Okay.
Please wait for me to change in my house.
There's no time
for you to get changed.
Young Master Yue, hurry up and follow me.
His Majesty will be angry
in a minute.
Take the body back and wait for my orders.
Yes.
After you.
Alright.
My needle
hit the Guan Yuan acupuncture point of Xing'er,
blocking up her blood and thus making her faint.
It looks exactly like the symptom of death
to cover up for her.
But if not dealt with in time,
she will die because of the blocked blood.
Where is Yue'er?
His Majesty summoned him.
And Young Master was called to the Palace.
It's not the right time
for His Majesty to summon him.
What is he busy with these days?
I don't know, either.
He hasn't come to see me
since that day I told you
to shot Yan Xun using his Bingxue Arrow,
and let out the information.
Young Master
will understand.
Master, all your actions are for his interests.
Where is Yue Qi?
Let him see me.
Yes.
There is tip-off saying that
robing and killing at Celestial Prison that day
is your idea.
Your Majesty,
this is purely a false accusation.
Two days after that,
I did
stay outside Celestial Prison every night
and kill the assassins.
It's you.
Yes.
Though Your Majesty
has absolved the prince,
there's still some people
who come to kill the prince
for their own interests,
regardless of Your Majesty's order
and the law of our country.
As a member of Wei State,
let alone that I have received Your Majesty's favors,
I can't just sit back and watch.
You are quite honest.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Today, the border got alarm signals,
saying that situation was tense.
If you have such loyalty,
you can enrich your experience by going to the borders.
As for the Eyes of God,
it's not suitable
for you to take charge anymore.
From today,
your elder brother Yuwen Huai takes over.
You can set off
after you finish
what you are doing.
What?
Are you not willing to go there?
I will obey your order.
You can leave.
Your Majesty,
Do you distrust Yuwen Yue?
No, I'm not.
People like Yuwen Yue
have their
own principles.
He's not one of us.
Where is Xing'er?
Xing'er... Xing'er is dead.
Where is her body?
Her body was sent to the graveyard.
By who?
Master Zhan Mou.
There's one hour left.
Xing'er, wait for me.
Young Master Yue played your cards well.
You reversed the situation easily
and saved Yan Xun's life.
How admirable.
Young Master, you leave first.
Young Master.
Young Master. you are injured.
Where is she?
Over... over there.
She might be there.
Who are you?
A woman's body was sent here just now,
dressed in prison garb.
Where is she?
Misters,
the pestilence has broken out in city recently.
We burnt women's bodies
as soon as they were sent here.
I didn't notice
a woman's body dressed in prison garb.
What did you just say?
She has been burnt.
Young Master.
Put out the fire.
Quickly.
OK.
Hurry up.
I will
give this finger knife to Yue Qi.
You give it to Yue Qi for me.
Young Master,
I just tried it on.
The size of it
fits my finger.
Yue Qi can't wear it.
So...
thank you anyway.
I will always
remember your kindness to me.
Thank you, Young Master.
Chu.
Are you awake, your highness?
Where is Chu?
She has been taken away
by the staff of the Yuwen Huai.
Yuwen Huai.
Chu is in the danger.
Open the door.
I need to get out. I need to save her.
I'll be back once I save her.
It's... I...
- I... - Open the door.
Your highness, it will be a jail-breaking
if you go out like this,
and you will be condemned.
Open the door.
If the lady is alright,
but you are condemned for this,
the loss will outweigh the gain.
Open the door.
Please rest assured, I have already sent someone
to inform the Master Yue
of the Yuwen Palace.
Everything will be fine.
Your highness, while there is life,
there is hope.
His Royal Highness Yu
has visited you this morning,
and brought a doctor to treat your injury.
The princess has also sent the guy
to bring trays of delicious food to you
and wait for your awake.
In my opinion,
you just need to put with this,
and your good fortune is just around the corner.
Get out.
I really thought
you are as hard as the nether millstone.
I didn't expect
that you are the person who seeks fame and riches.
The Eyes of God has just been taken away
by the emperor,
how could you be so dispirited?
Why are you here?
Take over the Eyes of God.
Won't you be deaf to
the words from the emperor, will you?
The Eyes of God.
You have done so many things
just to get it.
It's so ridiculous.
I'm afraid that you have no idea
what the Eyes of God is.
Enough of this nonsense.
Fourth Brother, please.
Okay.
Let me show you.
I hope you won't regret.
Here is the place
where the Eyes of God get archived.
The Tower of the Eyes of God.
Since the beginning of the Eyes of God being created,
all the information from the spies
has been kept here.
Why did you show me these?
Don't you want the Eyes of God?
Here you are.
I don't want the null and void
information.
What I want is the directory of the Latent Clan,
the esoterica of the Assassination Clan,
the poison of the Troop Clan,
and the treasure of the Silver Clan.
Are these important?
Yes.
The Eyes of God has existed for many years,
and there are
so many secrets in this room.
Don't you think the value of this room?
The whole story of the Zhuxu's case is here,
happened at nine years after the late emperor ascending the throne,
People all thought
Zhuxu fell off the horse and died.
But no one knew
that he ran into the adultery
between his wife and the Prince Lu,
and then he was killed by the Prince Lu.
Now,
Zhuxu's son has held the military power.
If this information is known by somebody,
what kind of storm will be caused by this?
Eight years of the late emperor, the Yellow River burst the banks.
After that, 28 officers had got involved in it,
and 36 businessmen had got beheaded.
But in fact,
the late emperor was the one who misappropriate the money
for the river regulation construction
to bulid the Royal Pavilion for himself.
Fifteen years ago,
Weiguang had a love affair with his sister-in-law,
and killed his older brother.
But based on
the attitude of Weiguang and Wei Shuye,
we couldn't tell
that whether Wei Shuye is the nephew
or the birth son
of the Weiguang.
If Weiguang knows
the evidence is in your hand,
will he want to kill you?
What I want is the power of
controlling the world,
not these summons to death.
All the dirty secrets
of the notable families,
even the underworld factions,
can be found here.
Since you are taking over it,
are you ready to
be the enemy of the whole world
and be assassinated
at any time?
Let me show you something.
This is the self-destruction device of the Tower of the Eyes of God.
Do you know
how many times
I want to destroy it every day?
Now, it's alright. I get free.
Everything is up to you.
Once you step into this place,
you will be the people
who stay in darkness for your life.
Just like me,
you will be kept in this court
for the rest of your life,
and will never get of here.
You are lying to me.
You didn't even know what the Eyes of God is,
but you still wanted to snatch it with me.
You have no idea of
the preciousness of life.
One more thing,
is Yuwen Xi your grandfather,
or your birth father?
The answer is also in the Tower of the Eyes of God.
You are lying to me.
You are lying to me. You are lying to me.
You are lying to me.
(Sound of the house shaking)
I really appreciate older brother could stay the jail for me,
and let me get the freedom again.
(Sound of fire spitting)
Take care.
Come back.
Yuwen Yue.
I don't want to be the scapegoat of you.
Yuwen Yue.
Yuwen Yue. Come back.
(Sound of explosion)
Come on. Come on.
Come on.
Just fight the fire. Now.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Go get water. Fight the fire.
Hurry up.
Don't fight the fire.
- Just let it be. - Young Master.
Are you alright?
Come on. Fight the fire.
Hurry up.
Come on. Come on. Hurry up.
Get more water. Come on.
Go get water.
Don't fight the fire. Let it be.
Let it burn everything down.
Burn everything down.
The Tower of the Eyes of God is on fire.
Did Yuwen Yue set the fire?
It's said that Yuwen Huai initiated
the self-destruction device of the Tower of the Eyes of God
by accident,
and burnt the Tower of the Eyes of God down.
It looks like
he is really scared.
I thought
he is a courageous man.
So the Eyes of God?
Just postpone it.
Yes.
By the way,
set Yanxun free
and put him into the Oriole Courtyard.
Yes.
Step down.
Keeping Yanxun alive
will be my serious problem.
But if Yanxun dies,
the several noble families will seize the opportunity
to carve up Yanbei,
and shake my ground,
which will do greater harm.
Please, Lord.
Please.
Yanxun, listen to the decree.
Prisoner Yanxun, listen to the decree on your knees.
Lord,
the prince Yanxun has been badly injured.
So his ears might be not good to hear.
The imperial edict says Yanxun, the sinner,
is the son of the Yanbei traitor, Yan Shicheng.
In consideration of he is young and has committed minor offense,
he will be under the house arrest in the Oriole Courtyard from now on.
I hope he will turn over a new leaf
and serve the country.
When he finishes his prison term in three years,
he will go back to Yanbei and succeed to the throne.
By the emperor himself.
The Oriole Courtyard
Royal highness.
How many people are outside?
There are 80 visible guards outside,
and more hidden ones.
They have surrounded
the Oriole Courtyard
all tight.
It's said that the little maid of Yanxun fights viciously,
but her skill
belongs to Yuwen Family's martial art
not some underworld faciton's means.
Do you mean Yuwen Family's martial art?
Should we try her again?
My honor guards said
that you have hid some weapons in the yard.
So I came here to check it.
Check?
Search.
This way.
Yes.
Royal highness,
if they want to search, just let them do it.
We are the sheep and they are the wolves.
We can't fight against them.
Young Master, we didn't find anything.
Since you found nothing here,
two masters, please go back.
What's matter with the maid?
Come on.
Let's take care of
the maid of the prince.
Let your maid
take off the bandage on her face.
