Episode 33
Sir, take care.
Come again!
Dongfu Inn
Hey! Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?
How come we've become like this overnight?
Yes, Young Master. It was so comfortable living at Master Wang's house.
Why did we move out?
Xiao Hu, what's with you and Yuanfang?
Don't mention him.
What are you going to do?
I need to go see someone. Right now, only she can help us.
I'll go with you.
No. Stay here and protect them.
Er Bao.
Xiao Hu! Xiao Hu!
I was wrong. Please punish me.
Meiniang, I'll just ask you one thing.
Did you know about Di Zhixun plotting a rebellion?
Your Majesty, from when I came here from Ganye Temple ,
I've never met Di Zhixun.
Because Di Renjie is so intelligent and has saved us before,
I thought his father wouldn't be different from him.
That's I recommended him to be the head of the imperial guards.
I don't know about anything else.
Your Majesty, please forgive me for being direct.
Isn't it a bit negligent for you to treat the father and son like this?
Di Zhixun is a loyal and good minister.
Di Renjie is a pillar of the state who has solved many hard cases time and time again.
For you to do this, isn't it a bit...
Negligent?
Would it only be considered responsible after they already sit on the throne?
I wouldn't dare to think that.
Meiniang, I know that Di Renjie helped you to come back to my side.
You are grateful to him.
But between feeling grateful and plotting a rebellion,
you should know which is more serious without me telling you.
There are some things that I don't want you to ask
and hope that you won't ask.
I know.
I have a lot of documents to look over.
I won't stay here tonight.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Thank you for what?
Without the royal badge, you've learned to show up uninvited.
Thank you for trusting me and my father,
and thank you for speaking up for my father at this time.
I trust you, so naturally I trust your father too.
Of course, I trust my intuition too.
Tell me, why did you come to see me?
I want to know the truth.
The fathers and sons of the Di and Wang families investigated this case at the same time.
With the current results, can't you see?
You mean...
The biggest beneficiaries after what happened are the Wang father and son.
We've been used by them.
They've used us and diverted everyone's attention.
At the same time, they've gotten rid of some inconveniences.
Indeed, experience counts.
Do you have any good ideas?
Don't worry. I will help you.
Minister Wang.
Nephew Di, why are you still showing up in the palace?
Minister Wang, there's only you and me here.
You don't need to put up a pretense anymore.
Di Renjie, you are not a simple one indeed.
No wonder why Yuanfang always praises you.
How is it? Are you done investigating those things carefully?
Almost.
It's too bad that you're too young.
But since you're a talented man,
if you serve me one day—
Being an official is too complicated. It doesn't suit me.
If you really want to save your father,
let's make a trade.
I don't have any interest in business.
Besides, I'm not like someone else
who can use his own daughter's life as stake.
If I died after being wronged,
and my father not only didn't right the wrong
but also used my life to achieve some secret goal with someone else,
I really will have died a wrongful death.
Minister Wang, I'm done talking.
I'll take my leave now.
I'm afraid that's not your choice.
Arrest him!
Di Renjie, you no longer have the royal badge,
yet you dared to trespass into the palace.
This is a crime punishable by death.
Is there a place that I wouldn't dare to go to?
Wherever there are unresolved cases or cases of injustice, there will be Di Renjie.
Not just the palace, but even if it were the Jade Emperor's palace hall
I would barge in anyway.
Nephew Di, you should listen to my advice.
Don't mettle in palace matters.
There are many things that can't be resolved with just your efforts.
I can still control the current situation.
I can still let you and your father live.
If you continue to be stubborn, tonight is the night that you and your father will be reunited!
That's exactly what I want.
- Fine. - Come on.
Fine.
You choose the hard way even though I'm giving you the easy way.
You and your traitorous father have the same temper!
Don't blame me for not considering our past relationship!
Wanqing, why did you come here?
You went out for a stroll in the middle of the night. Now do you know how dangerous it is?
Rather than suffer from insomnia, I might as well take a stroll around the palace.
Today sure is a rowdy night.
Fine. Since you're already here, just stay!
Go!
- Who is it? - Leave first.
- Your Excellency. - Take some men with you to Dongfu Inn!
Yes.
- Follow him! Hurry! - Follow him!
Thank you for coming to save me.
I've never seen you as worried as you are now.
Really? I thought I was really calm.
Calm? If you really were calm,
how could the invincible Di Renjie fall into Wang Youren's trap?
One suffers when one's relatives are in prison.
I can understand why you can't be calm.
But why are you so reckless? How will you find the truth like this?
If we don't find the truth, then—
Are you worried about me?
No, I'm not.
If I knew you were going to be like this, I wouldn't have come to save you.
Oh yes, who was the man dressed in black just now?
Of course he's a chivalrous passerby.
Passerby?
Stop joking around at a time like this. Did you already know about him?
Don't know. I don't know. I don't know anything.
It's no longer a good idea to stay in the capital.
There will definitely be wanted signs for us everywhere tomorrow.
I know, so we must quickly go back to the inn to find Er Bao and Mengyao.
Let's go.
Where is this place? Why did you bring us here?
Don't ask. Er Bao, keep going along this road.
You'll be able to leave Changan before dawn.
What exactly happened? Tell me clearly.
I can't explain clearly to you right now.
I can only tell you that right now, the Di father and son are criminals of the royal court.
The closer you are to them, the more you'll be implicated.
So you should leave before dawn.
Criminals of the royal court? How is that possible?
How could they be criminals of the royal court?
Ask your father for help!
He's already done his best. He has his hands tied now.
I don't believe that. Your father is the minister of state affairs and His Majesty's son-in-law.
If he were to ask His Majesty for leniency, His Majesty would do so.
- Please beg him to do so. Please. - Don't say anymore.
Everything isn't as simple as you think it is.
Just hurry and leave.
Young Master Wang, tell me where Young Master is.
I have to go save him. I can't just leave by myself.
He's with Li Wanqing. He's very safe.
Don't worry.
Er Bao, I'll leave Mengyao with you. Take good care of her.
I have a bit of money here. It's enough to get you home.
The further you go away, the better. You must not turn back.
So...
Are we parting forever?
I don't know. Maybe.
♫ The broken sound of the zither plays the chords of separation ♫
I promise you
I'll leave,
but you must promise me
that you won't hurt Xiao Hu
and won't hurt yourself.
I promise.
Hurry and leave.
♫ To wait until the day we reunite ♫
♫ I look in the mirror, and see tear stains on my face and the eyes that pity you ♫
♫ Perhaps I was too naive ♫
Sir, what are you doing here at night?
Are there two men and two women staying here?
Two men and two women?
Sir, there are a hundred or so people here. There are a lot who fit that description.
I really don't know who you're talking about.
Then we will search.
Brothers, search all rooms upstairs and downstairs.
I want to see them alive or dead.
- Search! - Yes!
Get up! Get up!
Get out! Get out!
There are officers.
What do we do now?
Come with me.
Hold it.
Go.
Go. Go.
Go.
Sir, that's the only room that we haven't searched yet.
Search!
Sir, there aren't any criminals here.
They can't be far. Chase after them!
Where did those two go?
It doesn't matter where they went. At least they're safe.
- Withdraw! - Yes.
Take care, sir. Take care.
Where did they go?
They might already be out of Changan.
They left very quickly.
They took all the luggage.
Maybe they already knew something had happened?
Someone came to pick them up.
Pick them up?
Was it that man dressed in black?
He saved us multiple times secretly. Why won't he reveal himself?
Because he can't reveal himself.
9 PM, Wangjiang Pavilion
Wangjiang Pavilion?
Did Mengyao go there?
This isn't their handwriting.
Then who is it?
Could it be a trap?
Even if it is a trap, I still have to go.
Father.
It's so late. Where did you go?
I went out for a drink.
A drink?
There are so many good wines at home.
Did you really have to go out for a drink?
I went out with a few friends.
Friends?
Is it Di Renjie and the others?
Father, what are you saying?
I haven't seen them after they left the palace.
Tonight, Di Renjie trespassed into the palace.
Did you know about this?
Really? How bold of him. Did you arrest him?
He should be locked up in jail right now.
But a man dressed in black came out of nowhere
and messed up our plan,
so he escaped.
What kind of person could be so impudent?
Who do you think it could be?
Could it be one of Di Zhixun's former subordinates?
Maybe.
Tomorrow, come with me to see His Majesty.
What's the matter, Father?
The crime Di Renjie committed tonight was not a small one.
It's very likely that it has something to do with Di Zhixun's rebellion.
I must report this to His Majesty and have him issue an imperial decree to arrest Di Renjie.
That would be good.
If His Majesty is hesitant about it tomorrow,
you know what to do, right?
I don't really understand what you mean.
Fang'er, you were traveling together with Di Renjie lately.
You were very close with him.
You know everything that he did.
Father, you mean—
You are smart. I won't say anymore.
Father, forgive me for being direct.
Di Renjie and I have always been together lately.
Although there seems to be proof that Di Zhixun is staging a mutiny,
Di Renjie doesn't seem to know about this matter at all.
Fang'er, you still think of this too simply.
If I were to stage a mutiny, would I let you know about it?
I am ignorant.
Get some rest.
Oh yes, let me remind you of one last thing.
Don't forget...
how your sister died.
You're her brother. We must not let her die in vain.
I understand.
Stop, stop, stop.
What is it?
Er Bao, my eyes keep twitching and I can't calm my mind.
Do you think something will happen to Xiao Hu and Wanqing?
I am also worried about Young Master. I wonder how they're doing right now.
No. We can't just leave like this. We must save them.
- Just us two? - Are you scared?
How could you, when your young master always thought of you as his brother!
Nonsense! Let me tell you something. If I can save Young Master, I'm not even afraid of dying!
The point is... the point is, there's just the two of us. How can we save him?
- Let's go to Iris Valley. - Huh?
Stop with your nonsense! Let's go!
Your Highness, something happened to Di Renjie.
Tell me.
Outside of the palace today, he was ambushed by Wang Youren and almost arrested.
Almost? Someone saved him?
Yes, a man dressed in black.
Where is Di Renjie right now?
I'm not sure. Also, Tong Mengyao and Di Renjie's servant is missing too.
Where did they go?
Last night Wang Youren sent people to surround Dongfu Inn to catch them,
but they came back empty-handed.
I got it. You may leave.
Dragon-Slaying Hall
My lord, everything is going according to plan.
Di Zhixun is already imprisoned.
Di Renjie is now a criminal of the royal court.
He's on the run.
Left Envoy, you've done great work.
I will remember it.
I think now is the time.
Once everything is in place, dispatch the troops immediately.
I will follow your command.
Wait here for me.
Be careful.
Wangjiang Pavilion
Why is it her?
Di Renjie, why aren't you formally greeting me?
You? May I ask who you are?
Where are you from?
You are Di Renjie indeed.
Seems like you already know everything.
Alright, why did you want to meet me here?
Right now, you are a wanted criminal in Changan.
Do you know why?
Officially, it's because I trespassed into the palace.
You know the real reason better than I do.
Your father wanted to stage a mutiny, and you're linked to him.
It's reasonable.
Since you're convinced that my father wanted to stage a mutiny,
it's pointless for me to explain.
But let me tell you something. Shape up.
Persisting in evil brings about self-destruction.
Tell me. What is it you want?
Before, you were the one investigating Suo Lang's case.
Why did everything turn on its head in one night?
It's because someone doesn't want me to keep investigating.
Did you find out something you shouldn't have found out about?
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Then can you...
tell me?
What I need to investigate were all done by you guys.
What's the point in asking?
But let me tell you something,
if someone makes my innocent father suffer for no reason,
I definitely won't let that person off.
There are many things in life that don't go your way.
There are many things that you can't control.
You can only succumb to fate.
Everyone is the same, myself included.
Do you know why I'm pretending to be Consort Li?
Do you even have to ask?
You and Wang Youren are colluding together.
You and Wang Youren are on the same boat.
But I've concluded that you have your own ideas and secrets.
Or it would've been simpler if you just handed me over to Wang Youren.
Why would you arrange to meet me here?
I can't believe someone can be as smart as you are.
Di Renjie, how about a deal?
Thanks, but I don't work with villains.
If you agree to it, I'll make sure you and your father are safe.
Sounds pretty good. What kind of deal?
How is your relationship with Wu Meiniang?
Just regular friends.
Regular friends?
Then that's simple. Right now, you just have to do one thing.
What?
Kill Wu Meiniang.
What? You don't dare?
Seems like your relationship isn't an ordinary one.
I just find it strange.
Wu Meiniang is just a concubine by His Majesty's side.
Why kill her?
It's not a good thing when someone knows too much.
You just have to tell me if you'll agree to it or not.
Then I find it even more strange.
You have so many skilled fighters around you. Why must I do it?
Just think of it as a way to make up for your crimes.
As long as you kill Wu Meiniang,
I'll go see His Majesty
and ask him to not punish your father by death.
When that time comes, you and him can leave together. Isn't that great?
It sounds pretty good.
I'll think about it and let you know later.
You won't get the chance to think about it.
Come!
You want to arrest me with just these men?
You underestimate me.
Did I? Did I say I would arrest you?
I want you to have your hands tied and waiting to be arrested.
- Wanqing. - Don't bother with me.
What a beautiful woman.
Release her. Just tell me whatever you need. Don't bring her into this.
Di Renjie, I think I really understand how you feel right now.
Do you know why I'm pretending to be Consort Li?
Because I have the same fate as you.
Don't tell me. I'll agree to do what you want.
But I have a condition.
I want her to safely leave Changan tonight.
As long as you kill Wu Meiniang, I'll let her leave.
I am a man of my word.
I just don't want her to be in any danger.
It's such a critical time. I can't trust you.
If you run away, what am I to do?
Now is it okay?
Another romantic.
Seems like in this world, no one can escape from the grasp of love.
Fine. Seeing your love for her,
I'll trust you.
Come. Send this woman outside of Changan tonight.
- Make no mistakes. - Yes.
Wait.
I have one more request.
Di Renjie, you sure have a lot of requests.
I want your hairpin.
What are you going to do with the jade hairpin?
I've known Wanqing for so long, but I haven't given her a gift before.
After separating with her tonight, I don't know when I'll see her again.
Take it.
Thank you.
It'll be okay.
Take her away.
How about it, Di Renjie?
Remember, if she can't leave Changan safely tonight,
don't blame me for changing sides at the last minute when the time comes.
As long as you kill Wu Meiniang
and can guarantee that I can keep my position and won't be exposed,
I guarantee that you'll reunite with her.
Okay. When do I have to do it?
Tomorrow afternoon. Concubine Xu invited a Korean Goryeo troupe to perform for His Majesty.
All the concubines will be there to watch the performance.
I will arrange for you to secretly get inside.
At that time, kill Wu Meiniang.
Your Excellency.
Did you send out all the diplomatic notes?
Yes, they're all sent out.
How are preparations going for the generals?
General Yuan and General Sun are already on the road. They'll be here in a few days.
The other generals are on standby.
Good.
Yes.
How are things with Yuanfang?
Everything is normal.
Remember, we must not let him know about this
until the very end when we succeed.
I understand.
- Go. - Yes.
Since you're here, why don't you come out?
I greet Your Highness.
Wanqing, how dare you.
How dare you come here at this time?
Aren't you afraid of being arrested?
Your Highness, matters are urgent. I had to risk my life and barge in.
Where is Di Renjie?
He is in the hands of the fake Consort Li.
What?
To protect me, Sir Di agreed to a deal with Consort Li.
What deal?
I don't dare to say it.
Tell me. Didn't you come here to tell me?
Your Highness, I'm afraid there might be a crisis in the palace tomorrow.
If Your Highness can trust me, I will tell you everything.
I trust Di Renjie, so naturally, I trust his friends.
I don't think he'll harm me.
Er Bao, where are we?
We have to go faster. We must reach Iris Valley before dawn.
Okay.
How dare Di Renjie put my life at stake!
Your Highness, please don't be angry. Sir Di had no other choice.
I'm sure he had his reasons.
Do you really know him?
I trust his character, intelligence, and decisions.
Do you two work really well together?
Ever since Your Highness entered the palace, you've been looking after Di Renjie.
I'm sure he won't do anything to harm you.
Now I've become a thorn in their side.
If Di Renjie doesn't do as they say, troubles will continue nonstop.
What ideas do you have?
If you trust me,
go to Concubine Xu's place to watch the show as planned.
Bro! Guess what I brought you.
Look.
- Wine! - Good wine.
How can we not have wine on a night like this?
- Bro! - Let's have a drink!
You have great foresight.
Cheers.
Drink, drink!
Sirs, I'm also thirsty. May I have a drink too?
Just wait there honestly. Don't try any tricks.
Come on, let's continue.
If you won't let me drink, can you at least let me relieve myself?
Why do you have so many issues? Hold it in!
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it in and will make you suffer from the smell.
I hope you die from holding it in! Be honest!
Stop disturbing us as we drink or I'll teach you lesson!
Forget it, forget it. Don't argue with someone lower than you.
Let's go.
It's not worth it to get angry at him.
Cheers.
Good wine.
Another one, come on.
Sir, a mouse ran into the table. Look! It's on fire!
- What? - On fire?
- What happened? - It's on fire.
- Put out the fire first. - Stay here.
Okay, will do.
This side. Hurry.
How did it catch fire?
Can you be more honest?
I understand.
Please continue drinking. I'll continue holding it in.
- Keep drinking. - What bad luck.
Come on.
Forget about him.
Here, cheers.
It would be perfect if we had some dishes to go along with it.
Come on.
Good wine.
You told me to hold it in?
Watch out! I might pee on your head!
Muran Villa
Miss, here.
Hold it! Where are you bandits from?
You dare to barge into our Muran Villa in the middle of the night? Do you want to die?
Get out of the way!
Hey, Master and Miss have already gone to sleep. Come again tomorrow!
Sister Jingqiu!
Jie (a name)
Jie?
Er Bao, eat slowly. There's more.
I haven't eaten in a long time. I'm starving.
I wonder if Young Master has anything to eat.
Mengyao, don't cry.
Eat something.
Sister Jingqiu, tell me.
Tell me what's going on.
How could everything change overnight?
Everything will be resolved.
Don't worry. When Grandfather comes later, he'll definitely come up with a plan.
Jingqiu. Jingqiu.
Grandfather is here.
Grand Tutor.
- What exactly happened? - Grand Tutor.
Mengyao, Er Bao, get up. Get up.
Why are you here?
Where's Di Renjie?
Grandfather, Di Renjie got into trouble.
What trouble is he in?
Hurry and tell me.
Let's sit and talk.

Your Majesty, something big has happened in the palace again!
So you mean Di Renjie, under the false pretense of traveling,
has actually been secretly helping Di Zhixun to collude with the troops in each town
in a failed attempt to stage a mutiny and charge into Changan?
Convey my decree.
Di Zhixun and his son have committed a crime against their superior
by going against the laws of the imperial court and attempting to plot a rebellion.
Put notices ordering Di Renjie's arrest in every county in every province.
Your Majesty, I can prove everything within the time it takes to burn one incense.
I will give you one last chance!
