" Huang Fei Hong " Episode 27
My head is aching!
What's wrong, Your Highness?
What's happening?
Prince Rui, Zai Zhi...
...stole the Buddha Heart and committed treason.
You are now relieved of all your duties...
...and will be sent to the prison at once.
Little Fortune.
I remember now.
I was a prince.
My name is Aisin Gioro Zai Zhi.
That's great, Your Highness. You've regained your memories.
No, that's not it.
I am only Zai Zhi.
I am no longer a prince of the Aisin Gioro.
Your Highness, you will always be a prince for me.
- It's that true? - Yes.
If so, you must order the emperor and the Empress Dowager to prepare...
...a grand carriage and bring me back to the prince's mansion!
Think about it, I am a prince!
I am the pillar of the Great Qing, the symbol of nobility...
...and flowers of wealth!
I can forget about their mistake for abandoning me.
But they must at least have some class for that, isn't that right?
Yes, Your Highness. They should show some class for that.
Come, have some snacks.
Later, I will make that Empress Dowager...
- ...to kneel down before you, okay? - Yes!
That's all for now, you may continue your work now.
It seems like Zai Zhi almost regained his memories.
I must find the great secret of Great Qing before that happens.
Westerner, where is my purse? Did you keep it somewhere?
Your purse? I didn't take it.
Where did you put it last time?
That Old Man Huang, he blames me when he misplaced his purse?
Hello, Miss De.
You are right on time, I am almost done here.
I apologize, Miss De. His Highness only eat the meal I made.
That's not the case. We should be thanking you for that.
Did you know? Before you were here...
...His Highness always ask for a imperial feast.
Gui Lan and I can't handle him at all. You made our life much easier.
They told me that before. That must be hard for you two.
I will be there in a minute.
It's all because of this meddling Little Fortune.
Sir Liu, is there any work for us?
That's all. You can go home now. I can close the shop on my own.
- Thank you, Sir Liu. - Thank you, Sir Liu.
Huang Fei Hong, you will never expect that...
...the worst infection in Guangzhou came from none other than yourself.
" Guangzhou "
- Great! - Great!
Great!
- Great! - Great!
Ladies and gentlemen.
The reopening of my butcher stall...
...is all thanks to your kind support.
So, from now on...
...everyone who buys from my stall will get a 30% discount.
- That's great! - Good!
Now, everyone, please enjoy the performance of ‘Rib Dance'.
- Good! - Great!
- So interesting. - That's right!
Good!
- Great! - Good!
Master Huang, the reopening of my stall is all thank to your support.
Don't mention it. That's what I should do.
Thank you, Rong, for the discount!
- Thank you! - We can have those meat safely now.
Everyone, please calm down. Everyone, calm down.
We may have identified that Rong's pork are safe...
...but we cannot let our guard down.
The infection of plague is spreading, many have died.
So, we must find the source of the plague.
But what is the source of it?
That's right, what caused it?
- Right, where is it? - That's right!
The carrier for the source must have come from Northeast recently.
Keep your eyes open for any who came from that place.
- There is one in the Bao Zhi Lin! - Don't be ridiculous.
- What are you talking about? - His Highness!
Fei Hong, what he said is true.
We can't take any chances.
Miss Little Fortune did come from the Northeast.
I am not sick!
The source came from the Northeast?
Sir Liu, you can't say that without any proof.
Miss Mo, why wouldn't I have the proof for that?
Everyone, look at this!
- It's the plague! - It's the plague!
Let go of her!
I warn you, no one touches her! Stay away from her!
Everyone, calm down. We are still unsure of this.
So, don't panic.
Fei Hong, doctors may be virtuous. But we must have priorities.
When found out Rong's pork were the sources, we buried all his pigs.
Now, Little Fortune is suspected to be the source of the plague
Our decisions must not be biased.
He has got a point.
- Otherwise, my pigs died for nothing. - That's right!
Burn the girl and stop the plague!
- For everyone's sake! - Burn the girl!
- Burn the girl and stop the plague! - Stop the plague!
Listen to me!
I'll execute anyone who harms Little Fortune and the whole family!
Your Highness.
Enough! Everyone, calm down.
If anyone commits murder here, I shall arrest you as a constable!
You burned the pigs without mercy but when it comes to your friend...
...you are stopping us now? What do you mean by that?
- That's right! - What's the meaning of this?
Everyone, listen to me.
Come over here.
Look! She is a human being, a young lady.
She has parents. Everyone does.
If your parents caught the plague...
...will you kill them for the greater good?
- That's true. - Yes!
Fei Hong, what should we do about this?
I need three days.
I will find the cause of the plague within three days.
What if you fail to find the cause in three days?
If I can't find the cause within three days...
...Little Fortune's life will be for you to decide.
Fine! Ladies and gentlemen, please give us a chance for this
If we can't give you an answer in three days...
...I will take full responsibility for this.
Hua Sheng, you don't have to carry this burden on your own.
Fei Hong, we are sworn brother. We can work together on this.
There is no need for that.
Very well.
We will give Master Huang and Physician Liu a chance for now.
If you can't find a way to cure this plague, I shall...
Hua Sheng.
When did you find out there are plague spots on Little Fortune?
This...
...was how it happened.
- Here's your medicine. Take care. - Thank you.
- Physician Liu. - What did she buy just now?
She said those are for her friend. This is the prescription.
That is prescription to suppress pain.
I can see that the patient has been taking it for a while.
To prevent drug resistance, the dosage was massive.
Little Fortune may already be in the terminal stage of plague.
Is Your Highness here?
Mr. Liu?
Master Huang went out with His Highness.
Miss, are you not feeling well?
I just caught a cold, nothing serious.
That is how I found out about Little Fortune's sickness.
I was simply concerned for her.
But I never thought the people would have such a aggressive reaction...
...and asked for her life.
Hua Sheng, don't blame yourself. The plague is a disaster in Guangzhou.
What we must do now is to find a cure for the plague.
Any idea for that?
The plague was commonly found on rats.
Normally we just capture and kill them.
But we can't do that on a human.
This can be challenging.
How about I give it a try?
Lower the toxic of the rats poison...
...so it won't take a toll on the liver and stop the plague as well.
I will give you a prescription but it won't cure the plague entirely.
It can only buy you time and ease the pain.
Follow the prescription for now.
Honestly, I don't really like orache biscuit.
It had a strange taste.
But why did you keep asking me to make them for you back then?
That's because the first time I met you...
...was under an orache tree.
I first met you when you were treating Riceball's wound.
I thought you were one of the guards at the prince mansion.
That's what you thought.
Madam, we can't find Lord Beile.
Watch your mouth!
The royal edict has been declared. The former prince passed away.
By the laws of the Great Qing, Zai Zhi is the new Prince Rui.
I apologize for my mistake.
We can't find His Highness the whole morning.
It's almost time to carry the coffin of the former prince.
- Find him now! - Yes!
Great skills!
Why are you eavesdropping?
How dare you!
Today is the final day of Prince Rui's funeral.
Why aren't you with the others?
Yes, it's Prince Rui's funeral. Everyone is praying for him.
My father died to save Prince Rui. Only I will remember that.
Today is the final day of his funeral too.
Your father gave his life to save the prince.
- He should be rewarded. - Reward?
I will never see him again even with the reward!
He is gone now. Don't be sad.
My father died for his duty. He died with honour.
I have no regret for him.
The master has the servant's life in his hands.
I hope the Prince Rui Mansion will always prosper...
...so my father's sacrifice will not be in vain.
Thank goodness, Young Prince, we finally found you.
Come with us.
If Her Highness can't find you, we will be in big trouble.
It's almost time. Follow me and see my father off one last time.
Yes.
Did that really happen?
Thanks to your care for all these times...
...I feel my mind is working better now.
I can recall many things from the past.
So, Your Highness helped me and tricked those bad guys...
...because we once met each other before?
But I already seen you as the love of my life.
That's why I will help you no matter what.
You have been plotting since you are ten years-old?
I wasn't plotting anything.
What's wrong? Did I hurt you?
I am fine.
I like the way you look so unyielding to anything since I was a kid.
Aren't you afraid to be infected?
Little Fortune, we live as one. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Your Highness.
Do you remember what you told me on the day of your wedding?
I do.
I told you to meet...
...under the orache tree. Be there or be square.
But you never came.
Let's not talk about the past anymore.
No matter where we might be, remember this.
Let's meet under the orache tree. Be there or be square.
Sure, I will remember that.
Stop worrying so much.
I will let Little Huang cure you.
- Promise me. - Yes, I promise.
Who's there?
My lady.
Come.
You did a good job at the butcher stall.
All thanks to your guidance.
My Lady, I don't understand. Why are we going after that servant?
I have look into her background.
Her bloodline has been serving Prince Rui for generations.
I heard that the mad prince is a man of love.
He had fights with Madam Di over her.
To find out Zai Zhi's secret, we must start from her.
- That's brilliant. - What about the task I gave you?
Please, take a look at this.
This is in Italian.
The translation means 'truth is the mother of time'.
- What does that mean? - Even I can't figure that out.
This woman shouldn't be underestimated.
Gui Lan, what are you doing?
His Highness and Little Fortune are not around...
...so I decided to water the plants.
But, this one seems to have withered.
It didn't wither.
Little Huang, we are back!
- Little Huang! - Slow down.
Gui Lan, we can make orcahe biscuit with these.
Little Fortune, please come over here.
Have a seat.
Your condition isn't getting better. It became worse.
Physician Huang, I know that you are trying your best.
No matter how hard I try, not taking medicine won't help you.
- Not taking medicine? - Not taking medicine?
You poured the medicine into the pot like you were giving them meals.
With all those medicine, it's no surprise the plant died.
Little Fortune, you are not behaving again?
Why didn't you eat the medicine?
I know it! Does the medicine taste awful?
If so, before you take your next medicine...
...I will prepare some sweetmeats for you.
Bad news!
- Something bad happened. - What's wrong?
Bao Zhi Lin is surrounded by the mob!
They will burn down the whole Bao Zhi Lin...
...if we don't hand over Little Fortune to them!
" Bao Zhi Lin "
- Give us the girl! - Give us the girl!
- Rong, what are you doing? - Give us the girl!
I am doing this for the safety of the people in Guangzhou.
Everyone.
You promise to give us three days, remember that?
It hasn't been three days yet.
Fei Hong, we have six hours before the deadline.
We still can find the cure yet.
I knew it, three days to make a cure? That's not possible.
Do you think the doctors in Guangzhou are all fools?
I even heard you are fleeing to Foshan.
This is unreasonable, simply outrageous!
Those are just rumours, don't believe that.
The patient is still here.
- I knew it! - She's vomiting blood!
Don't you dare touch her!
Look at this man!
He's been with the patient, he must be infected too!
He's like a rabid dog!
- Who are you calling dog? - Zhi!
- I will kill ! - Zhi!
Miss Mo, go to the yamen and get reinforcement.
We will get Little Fortune inside. Come, let's go.
- Your Highness, Fei Hong! - Zhi, let's go.
- What're you doing? - You can't do that!
Come back here!
Don't run away! Come back here!
Little Fortune, how are you feeling?
Fei Hong, Your Highness, we can't stay here.
You should take Little Fortune and leave here at once.
Hua Sheng, I know that you are against this.
Yet, you are still helping us. That must be hard for you.
We all have a heart.
I can't just stand by and watch them kill Little Fortune.
Fine, we will leave now. I will leave this place to you.
- Hua Sheng, what are you doing? - Fei Hong.
Your are too sentimental.
For the safety of the whole city, let me do the dirty work for you.
Miss Little Fortune, come with me.
Hua Sheng!
Hua Sheng, stop!
Hua Sheng!
Are you sure we must bury her? How unrighteous of you.
What?
Zhi.
Zhi!
Zhi, wake up!
- Where is Little Fortune? - Hua Sheng took her away.
Little Fortune.
Little Fortune, it's my fault for not protecting you.
Little Fortune!
Catch me if you can!
Where is she?
Little Fortune. Where are you?
Little Fortune!
Where are you?
Little Fortune!
I finally found you.
Little Fortune!
Zhi!
Miss, you are awake.
Mr. Liu?
Physician Liu, come closer. I have something to tell you.
Death is upon you. Save those words for hell.
Come closer.
You were the one that sneaked into my room, right?
Correct. But it's too late for you now.
Then, the answer you seek...
...will be buried forever with my death.
You are threatening me?
Let's have a bet if you don't believe it.
Or do you not have the guts for?
Bury her!
You surprised me.
In such a short time...
...you distracted the mob and saved me in time.
Enough talking. How do I open this chest?
I never thought...
...you are interested in the belonging of a lady.
Stop pretending.
I know what's inside this chest.
It's the Blood Dripper.
- What is that? - Stop pretending.
Look at the mark on the chest.
'Truth is the mother of time'. An Italian named Da Vinci said that.
Who is that? I don't know that person.
Da Vinci had many follower in the Europe.
The most prominent of them all is the Doomsday Cult.
And the slogan for the cult is 'truth is the mother of time'.
During the reign of Qianlong Emperor...
...a follower of the cult named Yuri came to the capital...
...and was welcomed by the emperor.
He stayed in the palace for three months.
Meanwhile, the whereabout of the Blood Dripper went silent.
I don't think this is a coincidence.
Mr. Liu, you are full of knowledge indeed.
For someone like yourself know the history of the palace so clearly...
...that really does surprise me.
The Doomsday Cult got his fame from the invention of western machines.
Rumour has it, they modified the Blood Dripper...
...they will use an unusual way to keep it hidden.
You have investigated so far...
...perhaps we should tell the truth now.
Miss, you really are a reasonable person.
I was planning to use some tricks on you...
...but I was afraid that you might not stand it.
To repay your kindness of saving me...
...perhaps I can tell you a story.
- A story? - A story about the Blood Dripper.
It goes back to the greatest fight in royal family of Great Qing...
...the nine sons' fight for the throne.
The throne was succeeded by the forth son, Prince Yongqin...
...who later became Yongzheng Emperor.
The Blood Dripper.
Some said that...
...it's a weird looking weapon.
Some said that it's a poison that kills instantly.
But no one has ever lived to tell the tale.
Rumour has it, it possesses mystical power.
Acquiring that can give you the power to rule the martial art circle.
False rumour does spread wild.
For the next 30 years, killing never stopped amongst the outlaws...
...and to acquire the Blood Dripper no one has ever seen.
Where is the Blood Dripper?
You should ask, what is the Blood Dripper?
If you know the truth...
...you will be very disappointed.
What do you mean?
It's right in front of you.
What?
The Blood Dripper...
...is a group of assassins under the command of the Emperor.
They kill without dripping any blood.
My clan has achieved many feats during the time of Yongzheng Emperor.
When it comes to the reign of Qianlong Emperor...
...we became a threat that is hard to contain.
So the blade was not to be used...
...but to be hidden away from the world?
So, you followed the Prince Rui for many generations?
The Iron-hat King with White Flag has always been respected.
Not just because of the deeds from Dorgon...
...but because he commands the power of the Blood Dripper...
...and protect the land in the time of great despair.
You are all but talk.
That story sounds just like a myth to me.
The prince doesn't seem to know anything about this.
About ten years ago...
...my father and Zai Zhi's father went on a hunting trip and passed away.
He didn't understand the duty he must carry at that time...
...but I do.
The Blood Dripper is my destiny.
If you are telling the truth...
...and you are one of the members, you must be a skilled warrior.
Let's find out who's better.
Little Fortune!
Aren't you afraid of dying under my blade?
Your sickness is terminal. You can't defeat me.
I just wanted to know how mighty a warrior can truly be.
- You are a Japanese. - What if I am?
Only one of us can leave here alive.
What is the meaning of this?
What a warrior you are?
Kill me now and you will never open that chest.
Open the chest, now!
I know the Blood Dripper is in there.
Open it if you cherish your life!
Never!
So, I can open the chest with your blood.
Fortune does favours me. The Blood Dripper is finally mine!
What is this?
How can this be?
What are these?
You carry these powders all the way from Shenyang to Guangzhou?
- What are these? - Stop it!
These are the ashes of the previous generations of Blood Dripper.
I already told you.
There is no mystical weapon inside.
The moment I became a member of the Blood Dripper...
...we lived as one, and die as one too.
All of my effort...
...wasted on these things? What good can they be?
Little Fortune!
Mr. Liu.
I have told you my story.
There is no such thing...
...as a mystical weapon in this world by the name of Blood Dripper.
Why are you sick?
The plague is all over the city.
- This is nothing special. - You are different.
They get the plague because of my poison. But you?
I see.
This is your plan all along.
It seems like I have to kill you in order to find my answer.
Little Fortune!
