Episode 08
Tan'er.
You're really my kindred spirit.
This stuff then is our secret signal.
Should put it on all the time.
I noticed you love this stuff so much.
So wear it all the time.
Is it possible that
this stuff is a time machine itself?
It's enigmatic.
I once disassembled it.
It's exquisitely assembled.
Seems a gear in it.
The time machine you said.
Is that the gear in it?
So it really has a gear.
Seems you do know something about science.
Now tell me.
How could this stuff take us away from this damn place?
Depends on EM field?
Gravitational wave?
Or space-time curvature?
Tan'er lost her mind because of jumping into the lake.
She even becomes like this.
Don't worry, Tan'er.
I'll take you away from here
even lose my prince identity.
That's it.
As long as we can go back to our parents,
and eat BBQ and spicy hot-pot,
nothing good about being a prince in Dongyue.
As the saying goes,
I only love passion among all the feelings in the world.
Mo Yihuai, my happiness then counts on you.
Everyone says that you've lost your mind.
But now I think
you've never forgotten our relationship.
Tan'er belongs to me.
Please behave yourself, big brother.
Yihuai!
Love someone who doesn't love you.
It must be torturous.
But even that,
you can't torture your body to relieve that.
You shouldn't be here now.
I wanna stay alone.
You suffer day and night.
While Qu Tan'er enjoys her life
in prince Liancheng's mansion.
She flirts with all the noble men there.
Your sister now lives in his mansion.
And Mo Liancheng presses on her.
It's lucky enough that she can be safe.
But as her sis,
you believe rumors and hurt her at such a time.
You did wrong!
That's not true.
Cut it out!
I only love Tan'er deep down in this life.
Don't think you can get a chance.
Go back.
Your highness.
What? Mo Liancheng hasn't taken any action?
Since Prince Yihuai left Prince Liancheng's mansion,
Prince Liancheng neither went to his majesty.
Nor took any revenge on Prince Yihuai.
Prince Liancheng might have seen through it.
So took no action on purpose.
If Prince Liancheng really saw through it, then...
We gotta strike first.
Before he reports this thing to his majesty,
try to make him humiliated in the court.
Come.
Greetings, your highness.
Hold on, your highness.
This bottle seems normal.
But the liquid in it
has ovum of Guimian Xueling ( a toxic bug).
Very feral.
It's time for us to use Qu Pan'er.
Xiaotan. Stop brushing your teeth.
You've brushed it over ten times.
If you continue to brush it,
your teeth are going to bleed.
I just wanna stop when it comes to that extent,
or I can't get rid of Prince Liancheng's bad breath!
But why Prince Liancheng acted so rudely?
Can't you realize that after so long?
He's just a schizo beyond remedy!
If there is a competition of tormenting others in Dongyue,
he must get the first prize!
Xiaotan.
Didn't Prince Yihuai promise you
he will take you out of this mansion?
So, just have patience.
Don't make any trouble at the last gasp.
Yes. Prince Yihuai is my best buddy.
Won't break his promise like Prince Liancheng did.
Best buddy?
Is that another love signal?
Speaking of this, this schizo prince
reminds me of another man.
Goddamed!
That bastard who bought the house also is called Mo Liancheng!
I came to this damn place because of him!
Xiaotan, you wanna die?
How could you just call Prince Liancheng's name?
They have the same name.
Even the same appearance. Both are schizos!
Just write a science fiction.
About...
How they two work together to ruin the world.
It'll be popular for sure.
Miss Tan'er.
His highness is gonna go outing two hours later,
Mister Liu Shang is uncomfortable,
can't go with his highness.
Considering your good job of serving tea,
his highness allows you to keep him company in the carriage.
Please get prepared.
I won't go!
My lady said she'll be there right away.
Thanks for his highness' concern.
Here is the carriage, but can't sit in.
Forget it.
Forget this schizo prince.
Just take it as my personal trip.
Such natural oxygen here,
should build some high-end villas in here.
What a pity.
Tan'er.
You can't be over three feet away from me.
Why you dare not look into my eyes?
I not only dare look into your eyes,
but also walk while looking into your eyes.
Tan'er, watch out!
What kind of pit is this?
No matter what pit is this,
it'll be dangerous once we fall in.
Yu Hao is not a fool.
He will come to save us soon.
Did you get hurt just now?
Did I make you hurt?
I feel stuffy.
I'm kinda out of breath.
I'm sorry.
I don't lose weight recently.
Maybe I'm overweight.
Let me give you a massage.
The muscles may be twisted.
Strong chest muscle.
On par with Mo Liancheng's.
I don't feel better,
but you seem enjoy touching here.
It's not a common pit.
Common people once fall into here,
they must feel so scared.
What if...
We are trapped here forever?
I'm not a common one.
Listen.
I once had a rival called Li Yang.
In order to grab clients from me,
he even locked me in the basement.
But I only used five minutes
to find the service access,
I climbed to the eighth floor at a sitting.
Climbed straight to the client's house.
Also made them my client.
Seems.
We gotta find a way to save ourselves.
Look. You get down.
And I step on your back to climb up.
Then I'll go ask Yu Hao for help,
tell him to save you.
But...
I have a good way.
Are you gonna..., right?
Higher.
A bit higher.
Ho could it be that?
How could I, Qu Xiaotan, fail it?
Tan'er, you claimed to be good at climbing.
But failed it.
So you just want to stay with me longer?
Your highness.
I didn't mean that.
Give me one more chance, okay?
Just one more chance.
I got it.
The pit is too slippery.
So are my hands.
Have a think.
All the Olympic players should keep their hands dry.
Thus, they can finish all kinds of stunts.
Qu Xiaotan.
You also need to cheer up for yourself.
Clay?
Your highness don't know.
Applying clay to the palm
can increase the friction.
Such simple knowledge,
as a "dirt-eating (poor)" girl,
I'm very confident.
Dirt-eating?
Not eating dirt.
Just want luck.
Like this.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.
Your highness.
Let's try again.
This time,
you don't need to hold me up.
Just stand here.
And be my fulcrum.
Stop.
I shouldn't
allow you to do that.
Anti-gravity Kungfu
really can make girl feel romantic.
It's really thrilling and exciting.
Thank you, your highness.
Your highness.
Get some water. Let Tan'er wash her hands.
Yes, your highness.
Yu Hao.
You're close to us.
We're trapped in this pit,
why didn't you come to save us?
You don't know, Miss Tan'er.
This is a common animal hunting pit.
His highness has great anti-gravity kungfu.
It's easy for him.
But you're not familiar with the woods.
Go sightseeing in the woods.
You better keep his highness close.
Good.
He is actually a big wolf.
But pretended to be a timid sheep.
Even asked me
what if we are trapped forever.
I tried all the ways I could to get you out.
An animal hunting pit?
It's a...
A bane that always fools me!
A gentleman doesn't stand on a dangerous wall.
Nor next to others' window.
You brat.
You're right.
I saw you brandishing your sword in the house.
Worried that might hurt me,
I had no choice but stood outside for so long.
Where is your mask?
And seems you're very angry
when brandishing your sword.
Your identity was exposed?
You thought too much.
Fine. Stop guessing.
I have no time
guessing that in here.
I'm here
to send you the pills.
But you're so cold to me.
I warn you.
The way of making this medicine is getting trickier.
If you want to stay in Dongyue longer,
you'd better
stay away from Prince Liancheng
and the court struggle, then you can protect yourself.
What I said is not alarmism.
Can you listen to
what I told you?
If you can understand the pros and cons of it asap,
and give up changing the fate,
I can help you find a secret place.
You won't suffer the restriction any longer.
And stay here to look for the soul-suppressing orb with me.
Isn't that exciting?
How do you think?
Thanks for your kindness.
But...
You blockhead.
You can't understand me.
I won't stay here to dine with you.
I stay here is not to protect myself.
If I don't stay by Tan'er's side.
Once others find that
she is the host of the orb.
The consequence is unthinkable.
But...
I'm familiar with the feeling Prince Liancheng shows to Tan'er.
Because he is me in the past.
Love once begun,
will never end.
Tomorrow is father's birthday.
I'm gonna give him the Country Landscape painting as a gift.
Now you get this painting.
If anything goes wrong,
even your life can't atone for it.
Where did he get this painting?
Really that precious?
Birthday banquet matters a lot.
Tell Mister Liu Shang
to go to the palace with me.
Okay.
Don't worry, your highness.
I will accomplish this mission.
Imperial gifts matter a lot.
You must check all carefully.
Yes.
His majesty can get so many gifts on his birthday.
And maybe all are valuable treasures.
If I can take several items away,
I'll make a fortune.
This gift is from Prince Liancheng's mansion.
Okay.
Dancing to celebrate your majesty's birthday.
The hall is full of blessing and graciousness.
Infinite royal favor will last for generations
Reflects on the southern mountain, may you longevity.
Long live your majesty the imperial emperor.
Father, Yihuai wish you longevity.
This sword is refined by the darksteel.
Called Dragon-roar sword.
Wish father healthy and mighty.
Show Dongyue's prestige to get a long sovereign.
I'm satisfied with this sword. Reward!
Thank you, father.
Prince Mo Liancheng presents his gift.
Father, Liancheng wish you happiness and longevity.
My gift is Country Landscape painting.
Means...
Country landscape? Nice.
So his majesty has to get the country from your hands?
Father is the emperor. But also my father.
I'm so glad to be father's filial son and loyal official.
I'm willing to devote my whole life
to guarding Dongyue's vast territory for father.
I'm deeply touched by
your pure kindness.
Country Landscape painting. Good.
Your majesty! Your majesty!
- Father! - Father!
- Your majesty! - Father!
Be careful, your majesty.
There must be something in the painting.
The painting is poisoned.
Protect his majesty!
Imperial doctor! Hurry!
Father.
Prince Liancheng spoke in excitement.
Only to confuse his majesty.
Guards.
Catch Prince Liancheng and the jinx
who presented the painting.
Spare me, your majesty.
I don't know what poison is this.
Father is highly poisoned, what do you want to do?
Your majesty.
You must be detoxified asap.
Please allow Liu Shang to detoxify you.
Yihuai, let him come here.
Father.
Please hang in there.
This poison can only be detoxified being smoked by fire.
Father is highly poisoned.
To save father,
I have to bear the restriction.
Your majesty.
The poison has been excreted.
Please rest easy, your majesty.
Your majesty.
The toxicant in the painting is Devil Drains.
It's born bloodthirsty.
And hypertoxic.
Once touching skin,
it will permeate the body.
Then suck blood and marrows.
Can make people die in thirty minutes.
Prince Liancheng.
Your machinator has admitted that.
What else can you explain?!
Your majesty.
Please listen to my explaination.
It's from Southwest border.
Very rare.
It's not only afraid of candlelight.
Also red arsenic.
So its container must have
a thick red arsenic on its surface.
As seal.
And red arsenic will turn black once meets alkali water.
Your majesty.
Please give me some alkali water.
Anyone who touched the gifts put hands into the alkali water.
Then we'll know who did that!
Okay.
Thank you, your majesty.
