[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 17 ~
Miss!
Godfather! Godfather!
- Don’t cry. Don’t cry. - Godfather!
You scared your godfather.
How can you just lie there when the manor is on fire?
Godfather, yesterday... yesterday, it caught fire suddenly.
There’s no one beside me. I was very scared. I was very scared.
Then, I... I ran and ran.
Suddenly... Suddenly, I fainted.
When I woke up, I’m already here.
Luckily, I still can see you, Godfather.
You don’t have to be scared. Don’t have to be scared. It’s good that you’re alive.
Take some good rest.
In a few days, you still need to go to the Serene Lateral Courts to verify your identity.
This is a serious matter.
Both of you, bring Miss back to take a bath and change her clothes.
Yes.
Hurry up.
Does it still hurt?
Do you know why did I slap you in front of everyone?
I didn’t do my jobs properly and caused Godfather to be in danger. I deserve the slap.
This fire is strange.
Assassinators are not unusual.
How did he dare to enter Prime Minister’s Manor
and was able to avoid all the traps?
Obviously, you can’t find him easily.
Yun Hen.
You grew up with me since young. The people under my control
all see you as my son.
Slapping you in front of everyone today
was more effective than punishing 10 men. Do you understand?
Once I isn’t serious in catching the assassin, they won’t do their best.
But, I slapped you in front of everyone,
they will know how serious is this and wouldn’t procrastinate.
Those in power should control the weak with warnings and lures.
This reasoning, just in the middle and it should be safe and smooth.
I already said this to you.
Godfather.
Today, I did lose my temper.
This is a life-and-death matter.
I can't be careless with it.
My age is already half of hundred.
I’m afraid of dying too.
Godfather! Godfather!
This—
Who?
Sir, are you awake? Prime Minister has an urgent matter.
I would like to ask Sir to go there immediately.
Alright. I’ll go after I change me clothes.
Sir, what do you think? Is it a serious matter?
I can’t say that Prime Minister’s sickness isn’t serious.
It may take 10 days to half a month to heal if you use normal medicine.
Luckily, I have a recipe for healing this
which can quickly heal Prime Minister. It only takes 5 days.
Then, I would like to ask Sir Zong to pass us your recipe.
I’m always particular with using medicines.
This recipe must be made by me personally.
If you need any herbs, you can tell us anytime.
If there is a shortage in our storage, I’ll order people to get it immediately.
I’ll go and prepare now.
That’s great. Thank you very much, Sir Zong.
Master Yun, shouldn’t you stay with Prime Minister?
Why did you come here?
I’m afraid that you may be to busy. I’m here to help you.
Is the Prime Minister scared that I may harm him?
How can you say that, Sir?
My apologies for bothering you early in the morning.
Yun Hen just wanted to help.
Sir, why don’t I help you to cut the herbs?
Anything.
Older Brother, I want to play too.
Are you okay? How do you feel?
I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.
Sir Zong.
I realized that there’s such a big scar on your hand.
It looks like it’s been quite long.
A scar I got since you. I can’t remember too.
I have some medicines here which are good for removing scars.
Three times a day. Not more than 1 month,
the scar can be removed.
Thank you for your worries.
I’m a person who do martial arts.
Scars like this aren’t anything.
I heard that you lost your parents since young.
And was adopted into Prime Minister’s Manor.
I wonder if you are trying to find your parents using this scar.
Prime Minister raised me like his son.
I owe him for raising me.
I can’t even repay him for my whole life.
If you want to talk about being loyal to the Duke,
my conscience is clear and guiltless.
I’ll do it, this knife is sharper than you expected.
Help me grind the medicine.
Look. Although I used this knife for so many years,
it still has no mercy.
It's heartless in hurting others.
Sir, be more careful.
What? The Prime Minister’s Manor caught fire?
Yes.
I should have make Older Sis Fuyao Stay last night if I knew this would happen.
You saw her yesterday?
Why didn’t you tell us this earlier?
I went to find both of you early this morning.
But, both of you were out.
Why did she leave after coming back?
Older Sis said she needs to pretend as Yuwen Zi and stay in the Prime Minister’s Manor.
But, she didn’t tell me
why.
It’s all my fault. I can’t do this. I need to go and save her.
Don’t. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t be so rushed.
Older Sis Fuyao is still safe now. She’s okay.
Everyone said Miss Yuwen is a lucky person. Look.
She only hurt her face in such a big fire.
She isn’t hurt anywhere else. Don’t worry.
Really?
She scared me.
But, I still think it’s unsafe to let Fuyao Stay there alone.
You’re right.
Why don’t we secretly bring Fuyao out?
- No way. - Why?
Prime Minister’s Manor is not an usual place. It’s too dangerous.
I know that it’s dangerous, that’s why we need to go and save Fuyao.
You don’t have to do this. If she’s not skillful,
she wouldn’t be able hide in Prime Minister’s Manor for so long.
Fuyao entered Prime Minister’s Manor because of you. She also took the Earth Absorbing Bell because of you.
Now, everything is done. You got your thing and you don’t care about her?
This has nothing to do with you.
How can this has nothing to do with me. Fuyao is my good friend. You’re my—
My... my... my... my Fifth Older Brother.
I just wish that both of you are okay.
Looking at both of your skills, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to save her if you go there,
but will harm her.
- What do you mean? I’m— - Stop nagging.
I’m repeating this once more. Both of you can’t go.
I don’t want to bring two dead bodies back.
You’re not my... not my Fifth Older Brother. My Fifth Older Brother wouldn’t be like you,
so cruel and heartless.
You don’t let me go, right? I’ll will go by my own. Let’s go, Xiaoqi.
Let’s go.
The grain and oil store across the street, clothing store on the East,
even the men of the night-watch working at midnight,
They’re all Qi Zhen’s men.
Once both of you get near the Prime Minister’s Manor, their people will find out immediately.
See? You’re so careless.
Are you saving or harming Fuyao now?
Prince Zhan, we didn’t know things would be like this.
Fifth Older Brother. Fifth Older Brother.
He looks really angry.
Do you think I was too rude just now?
I don’t know.
It’s okay, Zhuzhu. Maybe Prince Zhan
is worrying about Ji Yu and his men now. Look, they haven’t be back for so long.
- He doesn’t know how they are too. Right? - Right.
But...but...but, just now...
It’s okay. That was nothing. Be happy. Be happy. He won’t think too much, don’t worry.
Hawk Feather Letter?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com
He’s definitely a highly skilled doctor. Just a dose of medicine,
and there is a feeling of calcination. I admire him.
Godfather. You still need to take care of your health.
There’re so many things happening these days. How can I rest peacefully.
Godfather, you don’t have to be worry. I have ordered them to seal off the whole city.
I had also asked people to search through each official post.
That person was pierced by my arrow.
He would definitely injure badly. After searching through every houses,
never let go on anyone who are suspicious.
Yes.
Look at this. Although I have used this knife for many years but it still wouldn't go easy on me.
An injured person doesn't has any emotions.
Sir, be more careful.
What happened to you?
Nothing. I’m just worrying about Godfather’s health.
Leave.
Sir Zong.
It’s so late now. Master Yun, why did you find me?
Can we have a talk in the room?
- General. - Why are you here?
It's the Hawk Feather Letter.
- News from Ji Yu? - The news is from
It's from the border of the Goya desert.
Although I don't know what happened to Commander Ji. But the letter uses the Hawk Feather Seal. It must be an emergency.

♫ I don’t know where he went ♫
♪ Luxuriant grasses cover the green mountain ♪

♫ My son hasn’t return. I don’t know when it will be. ♫
Fifth Older Brother, what are you thinking?
Fifth Older Brother, I’m sorry. This morning, I was
too rude. Don’t take it seriously.
Fifth Older Brother, you’re missing your home?
Missing your home is nothing. Plus, Fifth Older Brother, you care about people a lot. It’s normal to miss your home.
Home. My home is in Heaven Fiend Nation, is in Rock City.
But, now, I can’t return to my home even if I have one.
Being born in a royal family, I only have the nation, not a home.
Says who? Consort Jing still lives alone in her isolated palace.
Is she your mother? And those who live and die with you,
And those brothers who killed with you, are they your best buddies? And also I... am I your...
We’re all your family. If you have family, you will have a home.
You’re right. Relatives, brothers, they’re all my family.
A man doesn’t deserve to live in this world if he couldn’t protect his family.
I won’t let any of you go.
I won’t give up on any of you, including you.
And even Fuyao.
I knew Fifth Older Brother would care about other. After you save Fuyao,
I’ll follow you to Heaven Fiend Nation. I won’t let you lose your home.
There is a saying in Heaven Fiend Nation. A mother's heart is in her son.
Whereas her son's heart is in Ice Land and running with the horse.
Men in Heaven Fiend know how to ride a horse when they know how to walk.
If they can stand, they must not lie down. We have Ice Land and Gobi.
We have Iceland Eagle which can flew through the Five Regions
and Heaven Fiend Horse which can travel the Five Regions.
We have the most intoxicating alcohol and the hottest girls.
But, all these
can’t beat the song which my mother sang for me.

Greetings, Your Majesty.
What’s the matter? Say it.
Your Majesty, there has been continuous heavy rains over the turbid river in the West.
Many of the tributary rivers have reached their emergency water level.
I have pushed for defences to be built on the embankment.
I would like to ask Your Majesty for the funds.
How much do you need? Ask Prime Minister for his permission.
Yes.
Your Majesty. At the beginning of the year, we signed trade agreements with the other nations.
It includes 100,000 bolts of Lin silk.
300,000 bolts of Tian silk.
500,000 bolts each of raw silk and satin.
It is now already the winter months, and these purchase orders, we've only fulfilled just short of only 60% of them.
- Young master! - Merely relying on the capability of the king's weaving mill alone,
I'm afraid it'd be too difficult to answer to the fulfillment of these purchase orders. I, your public servant, humbly request Your Majesty
- to dispatch professional officials to the south - Take this a bit more seriously!
to acquire enough textiles from private mills by paying higher prices
so we can scrape together at least an enough amount to fulfill the purchase orders as soon as possible.
Your Majesty, I don’t agree with this.
Our Deep Water Nation's weaving industry is prevalent and our produced goods renowned far and wide throughout the five continents.
It is thanks to our insistence on only using the King's official weaving mill that we have garnered and earned today's renowned excellent reputation in our textiles.
If we purchase sub-par textiles from private mills just to fulfill the orders and make money,
although we would have fulfilled this year's purchase orders, but we would have thrown away our renowned excellent reputation.
Well, well, Master Ji seems to be a man of clear flowing stream (uncorrupted official)
if we don't produce enough textiles this year, and not be able to fulfill our end of the business contract,
it is not only money we'd be losing,
but even ruin Deep Water Nation’s reputation.
Who will be responsible for these consequences?
The remaining orders that we owe them can be made up for next year.
But if we were found out to have used products from private suppliers to fill up the capacity,
this will really ruin Deep Water Nation’s reputation.
Furthermore, if you've known that the royal weaving mill can't fulfill this year's purchase orders
why did you wait until now the winter months to report it?
Is someone attempting to embezzle?
Or serve some other self-interest?
Your Majesty, the Manufacturing Bureau has been slack.
There's not enough supervision, and reeks of corruption.
Your Majesty, please investigate this.
You— you’re slandering me!
The Manufacturing Bureau is closely regulated monthly.
What corruption is there?
Your Majesty, I would like to ask for your judgement.
Master! Master! Master!
Judge.
I judge?
Prime Minister, what do you think?
Your Majesty, this will affect the royal family’s finance and reputation.
I do not dare to simply judge.
It’s related to royal family’s finance and reputation,
that’s why I’m asking for your suggestion.
Deep Water Nation's exports all come from the royal Manufacturing Bureau.
We can't remove their Royal Warrant. We also can't break our trade contracts.
At the moment their progress is slow.
Not due to a lack of raw material. But a lack of man power.
However,
if the royal court could provide staff to assist in production.
The production demand would be met.
The royal court will still maintain its income.
Everyone, did you hear it?
What the Prime Minister said is what I meant. Do it as what Prime Minister said.
Yes.
Prime Minister, you're so wise. The King also greatly values your opinion.
This is definitely we, Deep Water Nation’s fortune.
The King was escorted by the Prime Minister from Quan Du.
Now that there's a new King.
Prime Minister is looking after the majority of Deep Water Nation.
This is all us, officer’s tasks. Goodbye.
- Here. - Here.
Prime Minister. Prime Minister. Prime Minister.
Butler Cao.
I heard that your manor caught fire a few days ago. Is the girl in you manor okay?
Thank you for your worries.
Not sure which stupid slave maidservant flipped the candle.
Luckily, the place which was burnt was a side room which stored some junk. Nothing serious.
That’s great. That’s great.
Prime Minister, do you know? The fire in your manor
It made so many people worried.
Marquis Zhang came to report it before the break of dawn.
he purposely mentioned this happening to the King.
A report?
What do you mean?
What I saw written there,
something about military expansion.
Marquis Zhang wanted to ask the court for military expenditure.
I only had a look on it. Didn’t see it clearly.
All military reports should go through Wenchang Court for approval.
Why didn't I see that?
You can’t see it already.
The King had permit it in front of Marquis Zhang.
Really?
I still have some tasks to do in the palace. Prime Minister, I’ll leave first.
Thank you, Butler Cao.
Hey, did you hear?
There was an assassin in the Prime Minister's residence.
There were many, highly skilled at martial arts. They didn't steal, didn't hurt anyone.
- They just lit a fire - Light a fire at the Prime Minister's residence?
Must be a revenge attack.
Though these assassins must be brave. There's soldiers everywhere.
If they were caught, it'd definitely be a death penalty.
Let me tell you. The story gets stranger.
The Prime Minister's new goddaughter.
Her family used to be very poor.
But the Prime Minister greatly favours her. Even gave her a title of Prefecture Princess.
I also heard, he's going to send her into the Palace to become a Concubine.
- Isn't that strange? - There was all this to it? - Yeah.
Your noodles are ready!
This whole situation is strange.
- Anything can happen. - Where did he go?
I think it's true.
The palace has a lot of rules for choosing an Elegant Miss.
There will be a total of 36 different sifting processes, big and small.
Just follow the palace attendants' instructions, don't act rashly on your impulses.
Don't create troubles. Others might find out you're an imposter.
What's happening now? Are we lining up to enter the palace?
Of course not, it's still too early for that.
We are going to Serene Lateral Court today.
You need to be examined before being allowed to enter the palace.
What will they examine?
They will examine... if each lady is still...
...a virgin.
It's a tradition that has been passed on.
What tradition is that? I... am I cattle or what?
I won't let them examine me. I'm leaving.
Don't, don't, don't be nonsensical! This is the capital city!
If you run, how many other people will you involve?
What's wrong?
Your Majesty, please go back to the palace.
Why?
Today is the selection and checking of debut of the young girls. It will be happening at Serene Lateral Court.
I only wanted to have a look at my future queen. What's wrong with that?
Serene Lateral Court is an important place in Deep Water Nation. Without the palace's consent, no one is allowed to to there.
If Your Majesty goes there now and sees the future queen before marriage, that will infringe on the rules.
This palace is my palace.
Whatever I do, do I still need their permission?
About the rules... the rules are the Deep Water Nation's
and the Deep Water Nation is mine.
Say, do the rules matter more or me?
I wouldn't dare.
What is your reason for stopping me from going to Serene Lateral Court?
Come, tell me about it.
Your Majesty, today is the selection day at Serene Lateral Court.
There are many people coming and going there, accidents will be difficult to avert.
Your Majesty, your life is precious. You should stay away from the crowd.
That way, us servants will be able to be at ease.
What you mean, someone who isn't afraid of dying wants to hurt me?
Don't I have you guys?
Or did you want to say, the guards that the palace is feeding are nothing more but decorations?
Naturally not.
Lift up your head.
What are you hiding from me?
Tell me the truth. You won't be charged of any crime.
Your Majesty, just now... just now, outside the palace doors,
someone has abducted a lady waiting to be examined in broad daylight.
- Who? - I am unsure.
I only know that she is from the Prime Minister's Manor.
Prime Minister's Manor?
Zhan Beiye, are you crazy?
Aren't you afraid of being caught for abducting me at the palace gates?!
Those trash can't do anything to me.
You didn't need to do that.
I did it to save you.
- Did I tell you to save me? - I...
That day at the surrounding, if Xiao Qi wasn't in danger, I should have taken you away with me.
I originally thought that the King of the Deep Water Nation would help you and definitely escort you to safety.
I didn't think, he'd ask Qi Zhen to bring you to the palace!
If there's something I don't want to do, I won't do it even if someone holds a knife to my neck.
I have my own reasons for entering the palace.
But I've got your sentiment. Thanks.
You are really going to enter the palace?
It's a bit complicated. I can't explain it fully in such a short period of time.
But don't worry. Everything's fine.
Since you are so determined, I won't stop you then.
But remember this, when you are in the palace, you must be extremely careful.
You, too. Let's go.
Wait.
I... still have a favor to ask from you.
Do you feel unusual or ill by coming in contact with the Earth Absorbing Bell?
Although you've always said that this Earth Absorbing Bell is an item that emits intense coldness,
but this doesn't leave any impression on me.
When ordinary people comes into contact with the Earth Absorbing Bell, they will become like Xiaoqi.
The extreme coldness enters their body and deteriorates the bones.
Their lives will be in danger over time.
But you seem to be in harmony with it.
It's as though you're one of us from the Zhang family bloodline.
So what? What you mean is, you're going to give this treasure of yours to me?
I was only joking. I'm returning this to you.
I wasn't.
I really can't. You were locked in the Deep Water Nation for this bell before
and even angered Qi Zhen.
It's such an important item. I can't take it.
I have something really important to do. I will leave the Deep Water Nation in the next few days.
The Earth Absorbing Bell has brought on too many weaponized fights recently.
If I bring it back to the Heaven Fiend Nation, it will bring on another bloodshed.
So, I think the best decision is to leave the Earth Absorbing Bell here.
So, you're going to leave this for Yuwen Zi.
When will you be able to return once you go forth this time?
Maybe 10 days, maybe over a month, maybe never.
You trust me that much? You're not afraid that if–
I have never been wrong in judging anyone.
Fuyao, I trust you.
I believe that you will remain tenacious and steadfast.
My home country is the safest if the Earth Absorbing Bell is left with you.
If that's the case, I'll take the Earth Absorbing Bell.
I'll accept the Earth Absorbing Bell and also remember your sentiment.
But you're not allowed to not return. You must return and buy me wine.
Sure. We must definitely have that wine.
I am guilty. The capital city has always flourished and been safe.
A terrible crime like this has happened outside the palace.
Not only has it startled the people, it has also affected the internal palace. I ask for punishment.
An Elegant Miss was abducted, an oversight of supervision from the palace. Altogether, that's a crime worthy of death.
Prime Minister, you've acted carelessly.
Your Majesty, please give your advice.
I heard, that the Elegant Miss, who was abducted, was sent from the Prime Minister's Manor. She's even your newly named goddaughter.
Prime Minister, you have a soft heart. When she was sent and have arrived at the palace gates,
did you suddenly feel regretful and came up with this idea?
Of course not.
Don't mention a goddaughter, the whole Deep Water Nation is the King's people.
I did indeed oversight the supervision.
But, I don't intend to shield myself. Your Majesty, please give me a couple of days.
The culprit will definitely be caught and calm your fury.
