[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 11]
Look.
There are two urns in front of us.
We'll each throw three pebbles into our respective urns.
Whoever gets more pebbles into their urn wins.
You--
Goodness!
How could it shatter?
Could I have kicked it to bits by accident?
You're so despicable!
But then... what was the bet?
Whoever gets more pebbles into the urn wins.
There are one, two, three pebbles in my urn.
So... I win.
You're not going to hit me, are you?
Then... you can hit me here.
Be gentle.
This is great!
Thank you!
I was terrified.
Go ahead. Hey!
Let's go.
Fu Yao, look!
Look!
This is so pretty.
I like this one!
Taiyuan Kingdom is prized as the kingdom of water.
But it's just surrounded by water.
The bodies of water form a wall that encircles the capital.
People here can't go out and those outside can't get in.
They have to worry about floods all the time.
They're scared they'll drown in a flood.
So why did they still build Taiyuan's capital here?
There's a network of rivers and the food is good.
Taiyuan controls all of the water network of the five kingdoms.
Who wouldn't set their sights on such an important position?
You're right.
The capital is indeed more bustling and prosperous than Quan City.
Not only is it a bustling city, but its people are also very welcoming.
It's said that whoever arrives in Taiyuan forgets their hometown
and can't wait to settle in.
[58 Market]
Fu Yao, let's take a look over there.
- Sure. - Let's go.
Ladies, did you just arrive in the city?
How can you tell?
Frankly speaking, our 58 Market has branches all across Taiyuan.
All the locals know us.
Since you seem so curious, you must be a visitor.
I'd like to see what rare items you're selling here.
We don't sell any items in our store.
What are you so cocky about then?
Although we don't sell any products, there's nothing we can't do.
Why don't you tell me what you need?
I'm planning on decorating my Fifth Brother's courier inn.
Do you have any men for it?
Take a look.
Rentals, errands, freight handling, carriage purchase, horse vending
and there's even more.
Whatever you need
we can find it for you by posting it across the capital.
This really is an amazing place.
I started traveling when I was 12 years old.
I've already been across the five kingdoms.
Along the journey, I was Fifth Brother's little tail.
I go wherever he goes.
It's cute to call yourself his little tail.
I think so too.
Then why don't I call you Little Tail from now on?
Sure!
You've been following Zhan Bei Ye all this time.
Are you engaged to him?
How could I be so lucky?
It's just my unrequited love.
You followed him to so many places. If he still refuses to marry you
will you keep tagging along?
Since the first time I met him
I was certain I wanted to marry him.
It would be great if he was willing to marry me
but if he isn't, I'll just keep following him
courting him, and protecting him.
I'll be content.
Don't you feel bad about it?
I don't.
Even if things don't work out the way I want in the end
I won't have any regrets as long as I had someone I truly loved
and made every effort to win his affection.
It's better than getting old and telling my children...
"Your father is just some random man I settled for."
I didn't dare to court or date the man I liked.
In the end, I missed my chance.
I don't want that to happen.
Sadly, even though I've been courting Fifth Brother for years
he still runs away at the sight of me.
Tell me, if he keeps doing that
how will he know how wonderful and lovable I actually am?
You've courted him for so long but he's still trying to avoid you.
That means...
you mean a lot to him.
Really?
I'll help you.
Sure!
However...
Why do I feel like you're up to something?
I'm not.
It's Zhan Bei Ye I need to tackle.
As for you, I can help you win him over properly.
- Will you do it? - Yes!
But if you dare to harm Fifth Brother
don't blame me for turning against you.
It depends on how I intend to harm him.
Come on!
Are you the ambassador from Tiansha Kingdom?
Indeed.
Elder Statesman Qi sent me to welcome all of you.
Please come with me.
Sure.
[Courier Inn]
Let's take a look over there, come!
Your Highness, Elder Statesman Qi has asked
that the contract be kept confidential.
Your Highness, please keep it a secret.
Oh.
I wonder when Elder Statesman will be able to meet us?
Elder Statesman Qi said
that it's been a tough journey from Tiansha for Your Highness
so he hopes that you can rest for a few days.
He will see you when everything is arranged.
Your Highness, give us some time.
Sure!
This residence is yours to use as you wish.
If there's anything you need, feel free to ask anytime.
I will.
There are so many rooms!
I can stay here with Fifth Brother!
Look, that naughty brat is here to take up a spot at the stove.
She can't even cook anything but she insists on doing it.
You don't understand.
She's trying to win Prince Lie's heart.
Oh please.
She doesn't even look feminine.
What kind of a man would want a tomboy for his wife?
Exactly.
What did you say?
Keep cooking.
Miss Fu Yao.
Where are you going?
Our general means to treat you kindly as long as you remain in the inn
and until he recovers the Englobement Bell.
You can also wander around the capital as you wish.
He won't treat you like a thief.
But?
But our general also said
that he has given you freedom out of his trust for you.
If you think of sneaking away again
our general will have no choice but to punish you when he catches you.
That won't do.
If I really did escape from here
do you think your general could catch me?
Why would you make life so hard for yourself?
You must be anxious to find Seven, huh?
You're here all alone, with no family.
Where will you start looking?
Isn't it better to stay here temporarily?
Our general is the prince of Tiansha Kingdom after all.
If there are any clues
it's a hundred, a thousand times better that he handles it instead of you.
Master Ji, you have a point.
I'll trouble you with looking for Seven.
What is this?
This? It's made with Tiansha Kingdom's elk and wild horseradish.
You can't get this outside Tiansha Kingdom.
Oh? Is this a Tiansha specialty?
Definitely.
I had the ingredients delivered specially from Tiansha.
It's said that the people of Tiansha are fond of traveling.
But Fifth Brother loves his ice fields, horses, and the cuisine of the north.
I think that since he's on foreign land
he'll be very happy to have a hot meal and a taste of home.
Zhan Bei Ye really is in for a treat.
Definitely.
Here, try some.
Try some.
I'll feed you. This piece looks good.
Try it!
How is it?
Is it good?
His Highness has returned!
Fifth Brother is back!
Go quickly, treat him to this delicious dish.
- Yes! - Hurry up!
Fifth Brother!
I made you elk with wild horseradish!
It's your favorite.
I had the ingredients sent from Tiansha--
Ya Lan Zhu!
Do you even look like a woman?
You're always behaving like this!
Look at you!
I just want you to try my cooking.
Why not? Eat this!
- No! - Try some!
- I don't want to! - Try some!
No!
Just try some.
No!
It's fine if you won't eat it but why take it out on the food?
I won't let you leave! Make it up to me!
Make it up to me, for the elk!
Don't you dare leave!
Let go of me!
Aren't you ashamed when so many people are watching you?
You're the first woman to court a man so brazenly!
Step aside!
I'm the first!
My father said that women should strive to be a man's first love!
Other men are just rotten!
I... I won't let you go!
I won't let go of you.
- Don't go, Fifth Brother. - Let go of me!
- Fifth Brother... - Let go of me!
Let go of me!
- Excuse me? - I told you to let go of me!
Zhan Bei Ye? General Zhan?
I'm so fond of you, Fifth Brother!
Why don't you just yield to her?
I don't think any other woman would treat you so lovingly.
I want to marry you, Fifth Brother!
I'm fond of you!
Fifth Brother, I'm just so fond of you.
- Hey, Ya Lan Zhu. - I'm just so fond of you.
Didn't your father tell you that a woman must be a man's first love?
Yes, yes!
That's good.
Then I must tell you...
My first love...
is someone else.
Who is it?
Don't ask about it.
Who is it?
It's her!
General, you're usually not so quick-tempered.
Is it because the meeting with Qi Zhen didn't go well?
Your Highness, I didn't hear you clearly.
What exactly happened?
The Englobement Bell was stolen on our way here.
I've long heard of Your Highness's extraordinary achievements in war.
How could a common thief get close to you?
Was it really stolen
or did the Tiansha Kingdom never mean to make a deal with me?
I hate liars the most.
I told you it was stolen, it was!
Is this something I'd brag about?
If you don't believe me, you can ask our king.
Whatever the punishment, I will bear the consequences alone!
Your Highness, do calm down.
I'm just too anxious.
The Englobement Bell is Tiansha's national treasure.
We'll be held responsible if it's stolen on Taiyuan soil.
What exactly should we do now?
I'm the one who lost it.
I'll surely retrieve it.
I'll just wait for the good news then.
It's just that... if you fail to retrieve it
the responsibility--
I'll bear the responsibility.
That's good.
It seems that although Qi Zhen wants to use our Englobement Bell
he's not actually anxious to have it.
This will give you time to look for it.
There must be something fishy behind this.
Why do you say that?
Qi Zhen's reaction didn't seem right.
He should be anxious to get the Englobement Bell.
But when I told him today that the bell was stolen
he seemed surprised, and yet it looked like he was acting.
As though he already knew.
Could it be...
I'm afraid that my suspicions are right.
General, you mean that on the day the bell was stolen-
Zhan Bei Ye!
What do you mean by that?
Miss Fu Yao, just leave it.
Don't you know you can get me in trouble for saying whatever you like?
Ya Lan Zhu is kind enough to make you food.
But on top of refusing to taste it, you even threw it away!
You even did it in front of so many people.
You don't want to look bad, but what about the others?
I'm talking to you!
You can be angry but can you not get people in trouble?
Ya Lan Zhu and I were getting along just fine
but you've made me seem like I'm a disloyal friend!
- Ji Yu! - Yes!
This thing is too noisy.
Drive it away!
Who are you calling a thing?
You're the thing.
No, you're not even worthy of being called a thing.
Calm down.
You should both calm down.
Did you think I'd be scared of you just because you're a general?
Are you going to pick a fight with me?
Sure.
I haven't had a good stretch for a very long time.
Give it a try.
- Let go of me! - Fifth Brother!
I'll show you the consequences of being a busybody.
You--
Stop struggling!
You're the woman I set my sights on.
What did you say?
Let go of me!
Fu Yao!
How could you snatch my man from me?
You--
Let go of me!
He's the one who molested me!
That's just as bad!
You...
You two!
Hold on!
What is it?
General, did you really fall for that young lady?
Am I blind or out of my mind?
Neither.
What? Are you really angry?
Can't you tell that he's deliberately trying to vex you?
I know that I don't look feminine!
That's why he doesn't like me!
You--
You're the most adorable young lady I've ever met.
How can anyone not like you?
Really?
Of course.
But everyone says that he doesn't like me because I'm not feminine enough!
That Zhan Bei Ye... I should pick a fight with him some day.
I'll make him kneel and admit that he cares for you.
How dare you hit my Fifth Brother!
No! You can't hurt my Fifth Brother!
I... I'm getting back at him for you.
That's not okay either!
You have such a one-track mind.
Yes, I have a one-track mind!
Although he's the only one on my mind, he has never hugged me.
Come over here.
I won't!
What are you doing?
Take a whiff.
Take a whiff of what?
Just take a whiff.
Did you get a whiff of Zhan Bei Ye's sweat?
I did!
It smells pretty bad.
I'll give you his smelly hug.
Yes!
Doesn't it smell?
Yes!
- Doesn't it smell? - Yes!
Are you still mad at me?
I'm just mad at myself.
If I dare to pick a fight or argue with him like you do
he might... he might look me in the eye.
But whenever I see him, I just...
I just... I just get so nervous.
I just want to be good to him.
I really want to make him happy.
Then I'll be... I just want him to be--
I just want him to be really happy.
But the more I do so, the more I'm unlike who I truly am.
Sometimes...
I blame myself for being such a loser.
If only Zhan Bei Ye knew just a bit of how lovely you are
it'd be the greatest blessing for him.
I hope he'll understand one day.
Silly girl, that day will come.
Let's go.
Hold on.
Where are all of you going?
Ladies, don't you know about it?
It's the Double-Third Festival.
- The Double-Third Festival? - Yes.
It's the largest festival in Taiyuan to pray for blessings.
If you pray and kowtow to the Water God tonight
your wishes will surely come true and all will go well.
All wishes will come true...
All wishes...
All wishes... Does it work on wishes for marriage as well?
Definitely.
There's a deity worshipped in Changyuan, the east of the city.
If you light a floating lantern and tie a red string there tonight
while praying earnestly and kowtowing
he can you the best lover.
The Water God will bless the couples who are meant to be.
Is there really such a miraculous deity?
Qing Feng.
What is the occasion?
It's so bustling out there.
Doctor, the servants said that it's the Double-Third Festival
here in the capital.
It's the Double-Third Festival?
Yes.
Father!
Mother!
- Look! - It's so pretty!
Doctor Zong?
What brings you here?
You've been in my manor for days.
I was negligent to not have visited until now.
Elder Statesman Qi, you're too kind.
It happens to be the Double-Third Festival today.
It's the most celebrated festival here in the capital.
If you have some time tonight, why don't you take a look around?
Since you suggest it...
it'd be best if I simply comply.
However...
you didn't just come see me for this matter, did you?
Doctor, you really are unlike any other.
I'll be honest with you.
The king's health has deteriorated even more.
I wonder what you can do to improve it.
Or...
to make it seem like he's improving.
I've heard that the king is in critical condition.
If he is to be cured, I wouldn't dare to say that I could.
But if you're just asking me to relieve some symptoms
or bring about a brief recovery or consciousness before his death
I'll know if I can once I see the king.
This is great.
It's a deal.
I'll take you to the palace another day to seek audience with the king.
Sure.
Doctor, just see me off here.
Take care, Elder Statesman.
Fu Yao, look.
There's a red squarish lantern in the sky.
Whose manor is that?
They have such a strange lantern.
They even chose such a color.
You're right. It's two to three times bigger than everyone else's.
It looks like a huge melon.
It's even weirder than a troll.
I wonder what wish they made with that strange lantern.
Who knows?
Let's go.
[Courier Inn]
General!
Lin Yi?
General, the Double-Third Festival of Taiyuan is considered
a huge occasion in the five kingdoms.
Why don't you go have some fun out there?
I don't like all the hustle and bustle.
Is it the bamboo-leaf liquor?
General, do you still remember when my son was born...
I had this liquor with you then?
Indeed.
Come to think of it, hasn't it been five years already?
General, it's not often that we get to celebrate Taiyuan's Double-Third Festival
so I'll drink with you today.
Sure!
General, here's a toast to you.
You've served under me for over 10 years now.
We pulled through life and death together.
I'll be the one to drink a toast to you.
Drink up!
Why aren't you drinking it?
Are you afraid that the liquor is poisoned?
Here!
I told you to pick a lantern that wouldn't stand out
not a particularly ugly one.
I just found the color of that lantern very vibrant.
Doctor Zong will surely notice it.
As for looking ugly... it's all right--
I should get Zong Yue to treat your eyes.
Have you examined the premises?
I've sent our men to stand guard discreetly.
You can rest assured that no one will discover you.
Fu Yao, look!
There are so many lanterns.
Fu Yao, there are even sugar-blowers!
Ladies, have a look.
It's a top quality Chrysanthemum lantern.
This is the best-selling one.
Look at the craftsmanship.
Regular paper lanterns are no match for it.
You don't like it?
How about kusudama flower ones?
It's for a splendid marriage.
Beauties of Taiyuan! Every gentleman's desire!
Don't walk by and miss out on this!
Fu Yao, I'll take a look over there.
Wait here for me.
Listen, you must apply this every morning and night.
Yes.
- Young lady. - What is this?
This is Royal Mask Store's skin serum.
It helps beautify the skin.
Only these are left so if you don't get one now, it will be sold out.
How is it?
The other shops are all selling the lanterns
but you're the only different one.
Water is at its finest, here in Taiyuan, kingdom of water.
The mud mask we have is of the finest quality.
Along with our unique formula
our serum is renowned across the five kingdoms!
Do you ever wonder why the women of Taiyuan
outshine the others across the five kingdoms?
Why?
Listen, the secret is all in here.
Look.
Wrap two up for me and deliver them to the inn.
Sure! I'll have them delivered.
Young Master, what are you looking at?
We should get going.
Fu Yao!
What is it? Where did you go?
You're so happy.
I just got myself a precious item that can win Fifth Brother over.
What is it?
Show it to me.
It's a secret.
Let's go and have a look ahead.
Let's go.
What's the matter, Fu Yao?
Nothing.
Godfather.
Well?
The informant in Zhan Bei Ye's inn should have poisoned him by now.
Even if he didn't manage to kill him, we already have him ensnared.
I'm afraid he won't be able to make it out alive today.
General, when did you notice it?
Are you referring to your betrayal or the poisoning of the liquor?
You already knew.
He just refused to believe that you'd betray and assassinate your master!
When the Englobement Bell was stolen in Taiyuan
he already knew that there was a mole among us.
If it wasn't one of the general's closest and most trusted subordinates
how could he possibly fall for your tricks?
Do you really think the general believed Miss Fu Yao to be the thief?
We kept her with us to use her as a smokescreen.
Why did you betray me?
What do you think is the reason?
You knew that Zhan Nan Cheng killed our people
but why didn't you do anything about it?
You knew that Prince Huan was an accomplice of that tyrant
but why didn't you look into it?
You left Tiansha Kingdom in the hands of such a king!
You turned a blind eye to the misery of the people!
Why didn't you rise in rebellion?
Is this why you wanted to kill me?
General, you're no longer the same Prince Lie
who dared to try by hook or by crook to fight for righteousness in this world!
If there's even a bit of those guts left in you
I... I never would've betrayed you!
You've defied and rebelled against your superior!
How dare you justify that!
Now that it has come to this...
I'll bear the consequences of my own actions.
I'm at your disposal, General.
I just want the truth.
Who ordered you to do this?
Where exactly is the Englobement Bell?
Lan Zhu, I heard that Zhan Bei Ye is the third arch prince in Tiansha.
Why do you call him Fifth Brother?
You couldn't have known.
My Fifth Brother has two older brothers.
The weird and eccentric one is Zhan Nan Cheng.
He took the throne as king just a few years ago.
Zhan Bei Heng is the brother who does the king's every bidding.
That's the second brother.
Fifth Brother is the third in seniority.
But there are actually two more princes in the Zhan family.
They are older half brothers of my Fifth Brother.
I never heard of that.
They wanted to vie for the throne against Zhan Nan Cheng.
But they were both killed.
Are you saying that the King of Tiansha killed his own younger brothers?
What's so strange about that?
It's normal to have fratricide and internecine feuds in royal families.
Fortunately, Fifth Brother's maternal family is tough
so Zhan Nan Cheng can't lay a finger on him that easily.
Even so, Fifth Brother has been making compromises again and again.
He handed over his military authority and fiefdom.
The title of Tiansha's Prince Lie is just a name.
Why would Zhan Bei Ye agree to do so?
It's all for the sake of his mother, Grand Consort Jing.
Fifth Brother is known for his filial piety.
Now that Grand Consort Jing is in the hands of Zhan Nan Cheng
Fifth Brother can only follow Zhan Nan Cheng orders.
Eight years ago, you and I pacified the unrest in the north together.
General, you weren't even 18 years old then.
Yet you commanded and led thousands of soldiers to war
and turned the situation around!
All I know is that I was shot in my right thigh.
You were the one who staunched the bleeding and dressed my wound.
Two years ago, while I was away at war
Zhan Bei Heng set fire to my manor.
You were the one who rushed over despite the safety of your family
to rescue the three lives in my manor.
General, you remember that after all these years?
I owe you my gratitude.
I'm not a man who doesn't repay someone's kindness.
I will let you walk free.
But I need to know why you of all people would betray me!
In the past 10 some years, you've served me loyally.
I really don't see what could've possibly made you betray me!
Did Zhan Nan Cheng threaten you using your family?
Is he going to kill your parents, your wife, and children?
Did he make you steal the Englobement Bell
so he could execute me with just cause?
Is that it?
General, you're absolutely right.
It's just that...
It's just that... it's just that--
- Lin Yi! - Lin Yi!
Lin Yi!
Lin Yi...
Why would you do that?
I deserve to die for betraying you, General.
But if I fail to kill you...
my... my entire family will be sacrificed.
- Lin Yi... - Please forgive me, General.
General, Zhan Na Cheng won't stop at simply framing you for this...
He... he...
Dangers... lurk in every corner of Taiyuan.
General...
General, take...
Take...
Lin Yi!
Convey this to everyone.
Lin Yi failed in his assassination.
He was executed by me.
General!
Only by doing so!
Can his family in Tiansha be safe and sound.
