[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 22]
There aren't many in the palace that Miss Fu Yao can't defeat.
Could it be...
Fu Yao is in trouble.
Go find her right away.
I'm not joking around this time.
It's life and death.
There isn't a second to lose.
You must find her as soon as possible.
Do you understand?
Young Master, are we just going to wait here?
My King!
The Consort of Prestige, Tang Zhi Rong, is here.
She's waiting outside the hall.
I happen to be very tired today.
I was going to summon her here to sing a song or two
and relieve me of fatigue.
- Summon her in. - Yes.
Young Master.
Miss Fu Yao might be in grave danger.
Are you really not worried about her?
One must act according to his position.
You don't understand it.
Ingot!
Come here, Ingot.
Ingot, watch out!
Ingot!
Be careful, Ingot!
Ingot, come here quickly!
Ingot, I can't protect you anymore! Run!
Tell Xuanyuan Min to save me!
My King, you seemed to have lost interest.
Is it because I'm out of practice at playing this song?
You don't like it.
I've been tired all day.
I'm just a bit weary.
My King...
If you're tired, why don't I attend to you?
Sure, we'll retire for the night.
My King...
It's been a while since I married into the palace.
Today... I can finally be graced with the king's favor.
I get to attend to you, My King.
Zhi Rong, don't panic.
Ingot is my beloved pet.
He's very playful.
He must've picked a fight with a cat or dog and gotten all dirty.
You're getting more disobedient.
Go back there and reflect.
You're not to come out here until I tell you to.
Hurry up!
Go!
Close your eyes.
Ingot! Take me to her!
Your Ladyship, Cuiliang Hall is right ahead.
Open the door.
The two of you look so scary standing here.
Miss Fairy?
Why is it you, Miss Fairy?
Are you all right?
Lass!
I've come late.
Are you all right?
I'm all right.
She--
She's--
Is she all right?
Fortunately, she's fine.
You... Do you know her?
If I'm guessing correctly
she should be the princess consort of Tianquan Kingdom
who's been hiding in the palace of Taiyuan.
She's the Supreme Princess from the previous reign, Xuanyuan Xiao.
She's from the Xuanyuan family?
But I heard that the Xuanyuan family died out.
Why is there still one hiding in the palace?
That was just the men in the family who could manipulate water
and inherit the throne.
But since she's a princess, how did she end up like this?
It's probably because of the Confinement Charm.
Confinement Charm?
Someone is coming!
Quickly!
This way.
Your Ladyship, why don't we leave now?
This place... It doesn't seem right.
What's all that nonsense for?
It took great effort to find out that the Aquatic Spirit Mirror is here.
I won't leave without it.
But... but I heard that someone died here.
It's also haunted.
A few years ago, an attendant trespassed by mistake
and got killed here.
I could never step inside such a place.
Useless scums.
Come with me!
Ghosts! There are ghosts!
Ghosts!
The Aquatic Spirit Mirror?
Take all of these away.
- Yes. - Yes.
Quickly.
It's haunted?
How is it haunted?
Show me.
It's probably rumored to be haunted to stash such treasures away.
- Carefully. - It's spooky.
Move quickly!
Ghosts! Cuiliang Hall is haunted!
There are ghosts!
Ghosts!
Hurry up.
Move all these mirrors onto the cart.
You--
Why are you sitting so close to me?
I just treated your injuries.
Who knew you'd suddenly fall asleep?
It was just a bite.
Weren't you just trying to take advantage of me?
The one and only spiritual fox.
Its bite impacts your internal force
so badly that you'd have to recuperate for some time.
Why do you always get so anxious when you're on my bed?
Consort of Benevolence.
If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't let you off.
Step aside!
Why are you holding onto me?
I'm sorry.
Why?
I didn't expect that you'd be in such grave danger.
Nor did I think that I wouldn't be able to get to you in time.
You do have a conscience, huh?
Let go of me.
I'll just hold it a while longer.
Why don't you... just stay with me?
Be my consort.
Are you going to lift the spell for me?
That won't do.
You lost the bet.
I can only lift it off after you've carried out the task.
You're already making me your consort.
Are you still so wary of me?
I have to be.
If we never meet again after I lift your spell
I'd be the one who--
Who will relieve you of lovesickness then?
What's wrong?
What is it?
Your arm.
Where's your Englobement Bell?
The Englobement Bell...
It was taken... by the Supreme Princess.
You--
The Englobement Bell has been on you for some time now.
It's connected to you by blood.
Now that you've broken off from it, it has taken your inner force away.
You must be exaggerating.
If that was the case, Zhan Bei Ye wouldn't have given it to me.
We always overlook some things.
Not to mention that the Englobement Bell is a mystery itself.
It hurts...
I know it does but this is necessary.
This is the only way I can save your life.
Anyone there? Search the premises!
Ghosts aren't real.
But assassins are!
Hold on!
I already told you that no one came to Zuiyan Quarters!
How could there be assassins?
Who are you to say so?
The entire palace will be searched!
Zuiyan Quarters is no exception!
Her Ladyship is asleep!
We're here on orders! Get lost!
You can't go in!
- Her Ladyship-- - Let them in!
Consort of Honor, excuse us for intruding.
You're just acting on orders.
Why would you call that an intrusion?
Sir, everything is fine.
Sir, nothing was found.
Search the east chamber!
- Yes! - I'm afraid...
that won't be appropriate?
Consort of Benevolence is down with a cold.
I was going to visit her.
However, you have made such a din and disturbed her from recuperating.
If the king blames you for it, your heads may roll.
There are assassins in the palace.
I have to ensure that all the consorts are safe.
I can't bear the consequences should any of you get hurt.
Why are you holding me like this?
If I don't, you might collapse.
I never thought I'd ever see you so submissive and pitiful
like a weak and gentle woman.
There are many such weak and gentle women in your harem.
Why would you care?
But I care about you.
Here, sit up.
What are you doing?
I'll transfer my internal force to you.
It should relieve some pain.
Don't...
Don't waste your force on me.
It's not worth it.
You're worthy of the best of everything.
You're so nice to me...
Aren't you worried that I'll... pester you like the Consort of Prestige?
It would be my pleasure.
I'd like to offer you a reminder.
Do you know who the Consort of Benevolence is?
She's Elder Statesman Qi's favorite goddaughter.
You should be well aware of that.
It certainly matters that you carry out your duties
but I'm afraid...
I was promoted by General Tang Bo Nian.
I don't mean to pick on the Consort of Benevolence, of course.
General Tang's daughter was conferred as the Consort of Prestige.
Elder Statesman's goddaughter is the Consort of Benevolence.
But there can be only one queen.
If some witless people think that
you're picking on Yuwen Zi in order to protect Tang Zhi Rong
what would the Elder Statesman think when he hears of it?
Forget it.
If you're still concerned
you can come with me to search the Consort of Benevolence's room.
That should rid you of any suspicion.
Thank you for the reminder, Your Ladyship.
Zuiyan Quarters have been searched.
I take my leave.
Young Master.
You...
You're in this together?
Don't talk.
Stay in bed.
Why is she so badly wounded?
Take good care of her.
She must stay alive till I get back.
Where are you going?
I'm going to retrieve the Englobement Bell for you.
You just transferred your force to me.
It's very dangerous for you to go there in this state.
I can handle this.
Whatever I want in this world, I've never failed to get it.
It's you again!
Let me say a few words first.
Why should I let you?
It's because I know that you're Taiyuan's Supreme Princess
and Princess Consort De of Tianquan Kingdom.
Who are you?
Were you sent here by the Emperor of Tianquan to catch me?
Don't worry.
I'm not here to catch you.
I'd just like you to hand over the Englobement Bell.
Why should I do as you wish?
Why should I be threatened by you?
Listen up.
I hate those from Tianquan Kingdom most.
What if I insist on taking it?
- Take three blows from me. - Sure.
You'll definitely die with three blows from me.
Whether or not I die, that's my problem.
If I can handle three blows from you
you'll give me the Englobement Bell.
Is it for the sake of that lass?
If I die, please return the Englobement Bell to her.
Don't take an innocent life.
How rare, you're such a sentimental person.
Back then, if he'd even cared just a bit
I wouldn't have...
I wouldn't have had...
- Madam. - I wouldn't have...
Do it.
You took three blows from me and yet you're totally fine?
Thank you for going easy on me, Madam.
Whatever!
Why should I make a fuss over some youngsters?
I've been training in this isolated palace hall of Taiyuan for years.
I thought that I'd made great progress.
I even thought wishfully of seeking revenge.
How ridiculous! How absurd!
Take it.
It's just some useless metal to me.
You can leave!
Thank you, Madam.
He...
How is he?
He now has 17 concubines.
How do you think he is?
I knew it...
I knew it.
Don't you worry.
Your master won't die so easily.
You've finally regained consciousness.
He brought you the bell.
Consort of Benevolence, do lie still.
He...
Where is he?
After Young Master brought the bell back for you
he returned to his quarters.
Is he all right?
How could he not be?
Why are you so badly injured?
How could there be such a skilled warrior in this world?
It's the Supreme Princess of Cuiliang Hall.
Why is she so powerful?
It isn't her powers that are so strong.
But she has the Confinement Charm of Qiongcang on her.
It wasn't her force that injured me.
It was the charm that's bound to her.
What were you going to say?
Just say it.
Young Master, you've made painstaking efforts for Miss Fu Yao.
I've never seen you like this but--
But what?
You're worried that she'll hold me back?
Even you say that?
Should I let her leave then?
Young Master, you mustn't.
Miss Fu Yao can't leave the palace yet.
You're the one who said that she'd hinder me.
You're also the one who refuses to let her go.
Tell me. As your master, what should I do?
I've overstepped my authority. Please forgive me.
Haven't you done that often?
Yes.
Even if I do, there are some things that I must say.
Young Master, do you remember that your father repeatedly requested
that you bring the Englobement Bell back to Tianquan?
You obviously took the bell back by withstanding the three blows.
Yet you insist on handing it back to Miss Fu Yao.
I know that deep down in your heart, Miss Fu Yao is unlike anyone else.
Even if you send her away
it's only because you don't want her to be caught up in these conflicts.
However...
if Miss Fu Yao leaves with the Englobement Bell
all the efforts you've made in Taiyuan would be in vain!
Young Master, please reconsider!
You're the successor of the Spiritual Elixir Leaf.
Only you can change the destiny
by finding the girl with the quintuple-color pebble.
Otherwise, the five kingdoms will be plunged into eternal doom because of her.
My father isn't the only one who will make me go against Fu Yao.
Young Master, you're already engaged to another.
You're right.
It's an engagement I asked for after all.
Young Master, please forgive me.
You're just being honest.
What is there to forgive?
Get up.
Thank you, Young Master.
But Fu Yao has nothing to do with any of it.
I was the one who dragged her into this.
I should be the one to send her away properly.
Protecting her...
is the last thing I can do for her.
Yes.
Her Ladyship should wake up from the sleeping drug soon.
What's the fun on a night like this, even with a myriad of twinkling lights?
My King?
I heard that there were ghosts in the harem last night.
Did it disturb you?
I heard that a maid was frightened by a mouse last night
so it was just a scare.
Didn't I already tell you?
Don't wake me up before noon to go over the reports.
Yes.
My King, Her Ladyship is awake.
Cao Cheng.
Present.
Convey my message.
Consort of Prestige is virtuous and kind.
She has won my affection.
Reward her with 3000 bolts of satin
200 jade ornaments and 100 gold taels.
I'll get that done right away.
Thank you for the gifts, My King.
Wow...
Why have you suddenly shown up?
You didn't even make a sound.
It isn't that I walked in quietly.
You're the one who is troubled.
What is it?
Are you waiting for someone?
Who could I be waiting for in such a huge palace?
I'm heading back after I feed the fish.
Oh? Are you?
Why don't you head back with me?
Sure.
Here.
My King.
Greetings, My King.
Isn't that the lass from Elder Statesman Qi's manor?
My King, you have such great memory.
I'm Yuwen Zi of Changning Manor.
Yuwen Zi?
My King, she's the Consort of Benevolence that you conferred.
How could you forget that?
No wonder.
I find her quite familiar.
With Zhi Rong attending to you, you surely wouldn't remember us.
She...
Come.
Consort of Benevolence.
Who are you to tell me who I should favor or disfavor?
My King, please forgive us.
Zi is just quite poor with words.
That's not what she meant.
I remember it now.
I bestowed Zuiyan Quarters to the two of you.
Yes, My King.
Don't you always say that you live too far from me?
Zuiyan Quarters is the closest to my private quarters.
Convey my decree.
Bestow Zuiyan Quarters to the Consort of Prestige.
Both of you will have your quarters reassigned.
My King, that doesn't seem right.
Yes, My King.
He's gone too far.
Yuwen Zi might be an illegitimate daughter from Changning Manor
but who doesn't know that I've taken her in as my goddaughter?
I even married her into the palace!
Xuanyuan Min is now using Tang Zhi Rong to suppress my goddaughter.
Is this not his way of insulting me?
Consort of Prestige is General Tang's daughter.
I'm afraid the king might be eyeing her family's 150,000 soldiers.
Fortunately, General Tang has always been loyal to you.
Loyal?
How can there be absolute loyalty?
Only benefits last a lifetime!
Moreover...
however loyal one may be
the position of Queen of Taiyuan is simply too tempting.
You don't have to take it to heart.
Young Master has his own issues.
That Young Master of yours is totally unpredictable.
I can't be bothered with him.
That's for the best.
However...
Young Master seems to have really fallen for that Tang Zhi Rong, huh?
Who are you to tell me who I should favor or disfavor?
Oh...
Is that so?
Does he like that sort of weak and gentle woman?
Or else?
Do you think that Young Master is actually fond of you?
Don't try to sound me out.
You can just ask me anything.
I'll ask away then.
What are your feelings for my Young Master?
I...
I--
I don't know who he really is.
I don't think it matters to me.
Nor do I want to be involved with him in any way.
Because I think that he has concealed too much of himself
and has too many secrets.
But the gods always like to pull such pranks.
Ever since I met him
everything seems to be related to him.
Everything is tied to him.
Over time...
I got used to having him around.
I'm used to having him by my side.
I'm also used to...
I can't help but think about him.
That means you like him!
