♫ Last night, I was worried about you ♫
♫ This morning, luxuriant blooms are right in front of my eyes ♫
♫ Once I saw your graceful reflection, I was deeply enthralled ♫
♫ My love for you is so deep that fear is inevitable ♫
♫ Yet it is making me feign sanguinity ♫
♫ I have removed and discarded my body armor and helmet long ago. Only wish, forever and ever ♫
♫ To whisper loving words in your ear ♫
♫ I am willing to forego immense prestige and glory for you ♫
♫ To hold your hand as we walk into the horizon ♫
♫ All the way, from fine black hair to white hair as an ordinary family along the way ♫
♫ I can't bear to step on the fallen petals everywhere on the ground ♫
♫ Our encounters and separations will all be merged together as alluviums ♫
♫ What avail do I have when I don't want to drink Lady Meng’s tea to forget our bridge to the past? ♫
♫ Your most beautiful times with me are engraved in my heart ♫
The Eternal Love 2
Episode 7
This scheme of distracting the tiger to leave its lair
has the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
That mole in the palace has no sense of loyalty.
Only by doing this can I inform 8th Prince in time.
A person who gets multiple personality disorder
is usually due to some childhood trauma.
I'm guessing that 8th Prince must have suffered some huge trauma when little.
That's why he currently has this multiple personality disorder.
So many mood swings.
But, also might be just purely a drama king.
He just loves acting.
If he doesn't act for a day, he will feel so itchy all over.
Right...
It's exactly like that. You imitate him so well!
When he becomes hostile, he looks just like you.
When he gets angry, his eyebrows would be frown together.
His face stretches so long like a horse.
Jing Xin, you can imitate him so well.
Why don't you imitate me for me to take a look then?
♫ I'm willing to become that extremely hopeful bluestone ♫
♫ With your name seal carved into my heart ♫
♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon to weave spring silk ♫
♫ which cannot be cut but is mingled forever and ever ♫
You were the one who approached me this time.
It doesn't count as my breaking our agreement.
It seems that you are quite compliant with our agreement.
Of course, it's I who proactively approached you.
♫ Searching and looking, living as if intoxicated or dreaming for another lifetime ♫
Mo Lian Cheng, you menopausal drama king!
If you are having an attack, don't dare come to me again!
Was there anything odd that happened in the manor for the past 2 hours?
Everything is the same as usual.
Got it. You may take you leave now.
Yes.
Prince,
if everything was normal, what then is the purpose of the man
who sent us a secret message to lure us away from here? It's so puzzling.
Yu Hao, immediately enter the palace
to meet with our mole. Confirm his reason for not meeting us.
If he wasn't the one who sent the letter,
immediately change our secret code. The worst case scenario
is that our spy has turned on us.
Jing Xin, you little traitor!
During such a dangerous situation earlier,
you actually left me by myself?!
Xiao Tan,
- Prince didn't do anything to you, right? - He...
Who am I?! Who dares do anything to me?
Was Eldest Prince here? Was he the one who gave these?
Eldest Prince didn't, but 8th Prince did.
Is he the only one allowed to change faces and torment me?
I also must change myself to trick him.
Jing Xin, tell me, if every week,
we only get to have 5 days worth of work,
we only work for 8 hours a day,
oh, wrong, four shi chen. [ 'shi chen' is equivalent to 2 hours used in ancient time ]
Tell me, what do you think?
It's indeed good, but there's never been such rules here in the Prince Manor.
If you don't break old ones, you can't make new ones. Let's start with the 8th Prince Manor.
If you're not feeling well, you can leave first.
Thank you, Prince.
I'm indeed not feeling well,
but it's not just me.
What rotten idea do you have now? Just say it.
The rule for scheduling shifts in the manor doesn't give any rest all year long.
It causes the servants physical exhaustion and, hence, they are unable to serve you well.
If we can devise a reasonable schedule for time off,
the current situation will immediately improve.
How dare you! Do you think you can change the rules in the manor whenever you want?
As you see it, how
should this scheduling system be fixed?
Seven days a week, work for five days a week!
Eight hours of work a day, rotate with shifts in the morning, afternoon, and night.
Women can ask for time off while on their menstruation cycle.
During breaks, servants can leave the manor and do what they wish.
This way, the maidservants will be much more efficient than the current format.
And they'll make fewer mistakes in front of you.
Butler Zhou.
Tell Miss Qu about that difficulties you had the other day.
Yes.
The manor has recently changed its salary rules.
Maidservants who have been working in the manor for more than 3 years will get double the salary
than those who are just working for less than 3 years.
Also, the former one can work 3 days less than the latter one.
If you calculate it,
How much salary should each one of these two maidservants get every month?
If you are able to figure out the answer, I will revise the time-off schedule as you suggested.
If not, I will not give anyone salary for this month.
Isn't this just an algebra equation at the middle school level?
What's the overall amount of salary for a month?
At most, 1900 taels. The number for the monthly salary
must be rounded off. Or else, it's too inconvenient to distribute.
How many servants are there who have worked for more than 3 years and those for less than 3 years?
33 and 57.
For those working for more than 3 years, each one can at most get 28 taels of silver.
For those of 3 years or less,
each one can at most get 17 taels of silver. After everyone is given their shares,
there will be 7 taels remaining every month.
You solved it well.
I heard that male servants get to have double the salary
of a maidservant every month, but they both have the same working hours.
That's so unfair. If they're doing the same job, they should be compensated the same way.
There mustn't be inequality just because of gender differences.
Your words are shocking.
Although it's against norms, it does seem reasonable.
I cannot agree to equal pay yet.
However, you were able to solve the problem Butler Zhou couldn't.
I will raise you up three ranks to the same level as Butler Zhou.
Thank you, Prince!
Please take care of me, Old Zhou!
Unique thinking.
Just who is this Miss Qu?
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Every time I drink your medicine,
my headache gets worse.
The medicine hasn't helped. Are you not paying as much attention
and didn't personally brew the medicine?
Your Majesty! How could I leave your medicine to someone else?
Something must have gone wrong because the proportions were wrong!
I will dismiss Zhang Qi immediately and investigate.
That wouldn't be necessary.
Rest early.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Around me,
there aren't many whom I can depend on.
Why hasn't the royal prince come to see me?
Take away this medicine!
Yes.
It seems that His Majesty has found out about the medicine in the tea.
Go and call General Wei here. It's time for a discussion
about how to eradicate the problem by its roots.
Yes.
If the man who killed your family became the crown prince,
even if you die and go to the underworld,
you would have no face to see your family members.
His Majesty intends to name the Eighth Prince as the crown prince?
If you continue not to take any action,
I'm afraid the rumors we have been hearing will quickly become reality.
Do not worry, Your Highness.
I have a plan in place. There will be news tomorrow night.
[8th Prince Manor]
Xiao Tan!
This ramp is too steep! Come down or you'll slip!
This is the first time, after being promoted,
that I am abusing my power! How can I come down so easily?
Be careful!
Xiao Tan!
Are you hurt?
No.
Xiao Tan, are you okay?
Blood!
Don't touch him! I'll help him up.
The minute I help him, he acts like his injuries are severe.
Does he have to have Tan'er help him?
Your Highness' health is of utmost importance! Just let Xiao Tan help me!
Your injury is so severe. I should do it.
Forty eight...forty nine...
Fifty...
Fifty one...
Fifty two...
Fifty three...
Are you awake? Your heartbeat was getting slower and slower!
I thought you were about to die!
Lie down. Don't get up!
Oh! That's right!
♫ The peach flower blossoms for another year ♫
♫ We are like swallows who can't bear to part ♫
♫ Looking as heavy snow falls outside the window from afar, I've dreamt of you a thousand times in my heart ♫
♫ Just like a flower or a butterfly, so indistinct ♫
Why did you get up? Hurry and lie down!
Mister! Mister!
Tan'er! My heart hurts so much, Tan'er!
Mister, let go of me! If you don't...!
Mister! I have something serious to tell you about!
Just now, an old weirdo told me to give you a letter as soon as you wake up!
Where is the letter?
I'm leaving.
Stop acting.
Where is the letter?
The letter!
Why does this guy act so much like Mo Lian Cheng, the dirty scoundrel?
Could he be like that bastard, just acting sick?
[Mole inside the manor, you are to act tonight.
You must stop 8th Prince from leaving the manor.]
Is Prince in the manor?
He already left 2 hours ago.
So his injury was not serious at all.
Prince is a drama king. The advisor is also a drama king.
All are ancestral teachers of that bastard Mo Lian Cheng!
Prince, be careful. There's an ambush.
It was here when I fell into the trap set up by my mole last time.
Why are Liu Shang's fighting moves so similar to mine?
Who sent you here?! You dare attempt to assassinate 8th Prince?!
It was Eldest Prince... He threatened me with the lives of my whole family.
May 8th Prince have mercy!
Royal Brother, you still have the mood to drink? Haven't you heard already?
Mo Lian Cheng was almost assassinated while outside his manor.
The assassins claimed that you sent them.
Someone wants to sow a discord between us for a long time, but they finally acted now.
I'm surprised with their patience.
Royal Brother can see through it clearly, but outsiders may not.
8th Little Brother is not a person who trusts very easily.
The assassin immediately ratted out the mastermind.
It most likely can't be true. 8th Little Brother is very suspicious.
He surely will suspect that someone is setting him up.
I am not as thoughtful as the Royal Brother.
But, my mole heard
that during the assassination plot, advisor Liu Shang was also present.
His fighting stances were so similar with Mo Lian Cheng.
When day breaks,
I will personally go to the 8th Prince Manor to find out the truth about this assassination plot.
Eldest Prince.
Wait!
That jade bracelet is Tan'er's favorite.
She usually couldn't even bear to take that out of its jewelry box.
What special day is it today
that it's out in the open?
Is Tan'er not feeling well? Or, is she facing some problems?
Prince, Lady right now doesn't remember about this bracelet at all.
She kept saying that she'll pawn it. She mentioned it again today.
I have no choice but to think of hiding it.
No need for you to worry too much.
Tan'er has not fully recovered. Having amnesia might be just normal.
But, did you just come from Tan'er's room?
Yes. Eldest Prince, you are very observant.
8th Prince takes good care of Lady.
He doesn't allow her to do any dirty or exhausting chores.
Today, he allowed the wood craftsman here in the manor
to make Lady a wooden board that she can play with.
But, Lady almost caused trouble again.
8th Little Brother is complying too much with Tan'er's requests. Is he taking a liking to her?
Eldest Prince has arrived!
Royal Brother, have you seen this sword?
That sword is very ordinary. Even if I have seen it,
I wouldn't be able to differentiate it.
It is exactly this ordinary sword that almost caused me my life.
I also heard about it.
Hence, I purposely sent men to investigate it.
In the end, in the manor of Wei Zong Heng,
I discovered this seal.
That is the secret seal between me and my palace mole.
Eldest Prince, you really have a lot of contacts, and they are spread among all the manors.
If you are willing to join forces with me,
I then can help you regain the commanding power over the Capital Garrison Army.
I even can help you eliminate Wei Zong Heng and his allies,
to avenge the assassination attempt.
For this matter, you must have a some ulterior motive.
My only wish is
to ask 8th Younger Brother to yield
your servant Qu Tan'er to me.
A pact of 'til death do us part' is so important.
How can a measly commanding authority of the Capital Garrison Army be enough as an exchange?
What should I do then for you to let her go?
Since we've promised to be together until death,
then only death can break this pact.
Prince, Mister Liu Shang asks for an audience.
The body shape of this Mister Liu Shang
looks like that mysterious man when I was drunk.
Eldest Brother, why are you very attentive with my people?
If there is nothing else, you can leave now.
Towards Tan'er, I will never easily give up.
You must know
that the assassination plot yesterday was not the doing of Eldest Prince, right?
Why do you say so?
First, the testimony of the assassin and the contacts are too similar. There is the suspicion of collusion of testimony.
Second, Eldest Prince came here this early morning. You can't see any guilt or shame on him.
He still was unyielding to you like before.
These are enough reasons to prove that it was not his doing.
My main suspect for it is the group of Royal Consort Dugu.
If we want to use the group of Eldest Royal Brother to topple the group of Royal Consort Dugu,
maybe the Second Daughter of the Qu Family will be our best bargaining chip.
What is it? You don't agree?
The Second Daughter of the Qu family shouldn't become the pawn of the royal family's fight for power.
It seems that Mister cares a lot for Tan'er.
The first thing you thought about is Tan'er's safety.
but didn't point out the flaws of my plan.
I...
You can take your leave first.
Yes.
Eighth Brother! Why are you acting so mysterious today,
and asked me to meet at this sort of place?
What do you think, Fourteenth?
You regarded this robe was too plain and did not have an aura of royalty before.
Why are you wearing it today?
Oh, I got it. A woman dresses up to please those who like her.
Men would do that too! Eighth Brother, you are wearing this today...
Are you changing your tastes because of that girl from before?
Fourteenth, which lady are you talking about?
Eighth Brother, quit playing around. You wouldn't tell me before, and now you're asking me?
Then as you see it,
how else have I changed?
That's right! You hated steamed dumplings before, but now you want to eat them every day!
I think it must have to do with that lady!
I heard that Tan'er secretly ate steamed dumplings the other day and was almost punished.
Did he really fall for Tan'er?
Mo Lian Cheng, why can't you control yourself?
Eighth Brother! Even though we are princes, but falling for someone is normal!
Fourteenth, regarding what we discussed today,
you must not tell anyone else about it.
In the future, don't mention it to me either.
Eighth Brother, don't worry! I will definitely keep it a secret!
How can the problem be solved? Only by becoming an instant billionaire.
But...even if I get money, there's nowhere to buy a nice purse!
What point is there in making money?
It looks quite nice.
Of course!
I...was just taking a break. I will prepare tea for you right away!
I'm not used to the tea you make.
That's why I came to personally give you some pointers.
In the future, the colder the tea, the better it is.
Only when it's chilling to the heart can it be effective as a cooling drink.
I got it.
Could it be that ancient people also loves drinking cold tea?
Xiao Tan!
Yeah!
Xiao Tan?
I'm coming!
Xiao Tan! Butler Zhou is looking for you!
Then-!
♫ Too bad, every street I run to, I still seem to be searching ♫
While the territory outside of our border isn't peaceful, the government will be unstable. If at this critical moment,
there will be crevices within because of partisanship,
The Royal Highness might think that the two Royal Princes
are ignoring the safety of the kingdom for your personal benefit.
Then what Lord Wu means is that we should support General Wei
to be given the Royal Command Token to pacify the borders?
That is what I intend to do.
Lord Wu must have joined with Royal Consort Dugu.
while 14th Younger Brother still couldn't see it.
8th Royal Prince wants to send this guest out, but is unable to say so out of respect, hence, we have this awkward situation.
Tan'er, what is this tea? It's as cold as ice water!
How can I drink this?
As the saying goes, the tea gets cold when the person is gone. This tea that is quite bone-chilling
is quite appropriate for the moment.
Since Lord Wu cannot be of service to me anymore,
I won't force you to stay.
-See the guest out! -Lord Wu, please.
Tan'er, you have merit from serving tea.
I will surely reward you well.
Go and get another three cups of hot tea.
Yes.
Tan'er! How did you think of this?
Working by the emperor's side is like staying next to a tiger, but what's scarier is
a schizophrenic prince.
What's wrong?
Just delivering them tea can be used as a tool by them.
First he wants it cold, then he wants it hot!
If I keep staying here, I'm going to get multi-personality disorder!
Jing Xin, after we finish serving tea,
let's go to look for Mo Yi Huai to match the secret code!
I've arranged it. We will meet the Eldest Prince in half an hour at the usual place!
