[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 19 ~
I heard that the stolen Elegant Miss is from Prime Minister’s Manor.
She’s even your goddaughter.
Prime Minister, you have a soft heart. When she was sent and have arrived at the palace gates,
and suddenly you couldn’t bear to let her go. That’s why you came out with this idea.
Of course not.
Not only my goddaughter,
everyone in Deep Water Nation are Your Majesty’s people.
I did indeed oversight the supervision.
But, I don't intend to shield myself.
I would like to ask Your Majesty for a few days,
so that I can catch the thief and calm Your Majesty down.
Then, thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister.
There’s also an assassin who entered the Prime Minister’s Manor.
And your manor even caught fire.
You’re looking for the culprit throughout the whole town.
I’m afraid that you might be too busy.
The nation’s matter is a big matter, your manor’s matter is a small matter.
And Prime Minister is usually busy with court responsibilities.
Let Zhang Henian investigate the case today.
I’ll follow Your Majesty instructions.
Right. If Zhang Henian has to investigate, he needs people.
If he needs to catch the culprit, he needs soldiers.
And naturally, he needs funds.
Since he asked for money, just give it to him.
Your Majesty, catching the thief and asking for soldier’s pay are two different matters.
Prime Minister.
Prime Minister, who’s the
king of Deep Water Nation?
Is it you or me?
Don’t tell me you thought that you, Qi Zhen, is the one who
pushed me up to the throne,
and Deep Water Nation would be under your control since then.
Don’t forget.
You’re not the only official in the court.
And you're definitely not the only one who has the rights to control the soldiers.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Prime Minister, you’re tired.
Quickly go back and rest.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Announcement!
They found Elegant Miss, Yuwen Zi, outside the palace. She’s being carried into palace now.
Waiting for Your Majesty's orders.
Where is she now?
Your Majesty, the Elegant Miss is waiting outside the palace.
She just fainted, the servant is looking after her now.
- Bring her in quickly. - Yes.
Bring in!
What happened?
Your Majesty, after Miss Yuwen was snatched, I and the guards spent a long time chasing after her
all the way to the lakeside. It seemed like the thief had mistakenly recognized her and snatched the wrong person.
They threw Miss into the lake, that’s why we were able to save her.
But... our pitiful Miss.
Was it real?
Why would this happened? Quick!
Someone please come. Quickly call the doctor.
Your majesty, you're too kind.
- Prime Minister, isn’t Zong Yue staying in your manor? - Yes.
Why don’t you call him here?
I guess Prime Minister would rather use your own man, right?
I will use. I will use.
Master, your acting was beautiful just now.
Look at Qi Zhen, he couldn’t even talk because he was shocked by you.
Real act, fake act. You can't tell?
Someone touched my person and I didn’t know.
He honestly did get angry.
Back then, if it wasn't for me who assisted him, he wouldn't even have today.
Go down.
He had the nerve to reprimand me front of the whole Court. Even using Zhang Henian to pressure me!
Who does he think he is?
Godfather, please calm down.
He’s just a puppet I supported onto the throne.
Yun Hen has no right to say this.
But, here is Deep Water Nation. No matter how useless the puppet is,
the king is still the king.
You’re reminding me that his surname is Xuanyuan?
I don’t dare to.
You’re right.
His surname is Xuanyuan.
Only by tolerating and holding in your anger can you retain the capability to solve any problems.
But the current problem is not simple.
Godfather, you’re suspecting Xuanyuan Min as the one who snatched the girl?
You’re right.
So that he could push all the blames on me.
Agreed to give Zhang Henian military funds
and just like that, success follows naturally.
He’s so cunning.
Not only cunning, but also out of control.
If this continue, I’m afraid that it would be even harder to control him.
Our eyes and ears in the palace...
Even though we have people to spy and bring us news,
but they are still too far removed from the situation.
We still have to think of another way. Keep a close eye on him.
Yes.
Fifth Older Brother! Fifth Older Brother!
Prince Zhan!
I heard the girl sent by the Prime Minister's manor was rescued away by a powerful impressive expert
I'm guessing, it's you Fifth Brother who saved Fuyao.
who rescued Fuyao. Am I right?
I think so too Prince Zhan, where is Fuyao right now?
Fuyao has her own arrangements. She doesn't plan on leaving Prime Minister's manor . She plans to enter into the palace.
Why?
The palace is so dangerous. Will she be ok all alone?
The palace isn't a place that you or I could easily enter and leave. Fuyao has always been smart, she can handle it on her own.
Also, you helped to change her appearance, so she should be all right.
What are you doing?
I still have things to take care of.
I originally planned to save Fuyao to repay my gratitude and leave the Deep Water Nation for some time.
Right now, Fuyao doesn't need me to get involved. So I plan on immediately setting out.
These golden leaves, you guys take them. You will have a use for them in the future.
Thank you Fifth Brother.
Great. We will go with you wherever you go. You'd even have someone to take care of you on the road.
No.
But why?
Master Yun.
Is Mr.Zhon available?
He is afternoon napping. No one can disturb...
No problem.
Why did you come to find me today?
The Prime Minister's goddaughter Yuwen Shi got snatched by a thief this morning.
Is this the same Yuwen Shi who didn't die from the night of the big fire?
Yes, it is she.
Fortunately, she was rescued home and only suffered some shock.
Sorry to trouble you, to please help and take a look at her.
Since even Mr.Yun came here personally himself to ask,
then naturally Zhon Yue shall respect your request and sincerely obey.
Qing Feng, get a head start and deliver my medical bag over.
Yes.
- Just see me off here. - But...
I don't like repeating myself.
Fifth Brother, such a long far road...
and also full of danger. I'm not at ease letting you go alone.
It's exactly because it is too dangerous, that I'd be too preoccupied to take care of you.
- Bringing you along would just be a burden. - But...
That place shouldn't be the kind of places you should be going to.
I know you're concerned for my safety.
All day long, you wear a harsh strict facial expression. Eyes glaring wide intently like those of a bull's.
Can't you be a little nicer to me?
My departure this time, you absolutely can't let Deep Water Nation nor Heaven Fiend Nation find out.
If they catch wind of it...
you will never be able to see me again.
Don't worry Fifth Brother. I definitely won't tell a single soul.
Right now, Deep Water Nation is in a difficult situation.
When I'm not here, there would no longer be anyone who cares whether you are alive or dead.
If you feel unsafe, just go back to your home town first. No need to wait for me.
These last six years, I accompanied you, ran through the entire five continents.
What could there be that I can't face?
I'm going.
That time when the manor was on fire, wonder if there are any news of the thief?
The culprit and his associates were all caught the next day.
What kind of criminal would dare to be so audacious?
They're just some infamous pirates.
Who knows what muddled their minds for them to get the idea to aim at the Prime Minister's Manor.
But, the Prime Minister has ordered for them to all be killed.
They're all dead?
Yes. Once the culprits are dead,
unexpected troubles can't spring up.
Mister Yun has always performed his duties neatly, the Prime Minister is lucky.
It’s so late. Why have you come to find me?
Can I come in to talk?
We flipped the place inside out today trying to find the assassin.
The assassin has a wound on his body, so should be easier to identify.
Don’t know if Mister would be willing to let me take a look at your arm.
You guessed correctly. I’m the person you’re looking for.
Then I must ask you to please come with me to see the Prime Minister.
So you actually don’t want to ask me why I readily just confessed?
Mister can personally report the hidden reasons to Prime Minister.
If I'm not wrong, your real birthday is the 4th day of the sixth month.
You're 19 years old this year.
What does that mean?
You were 5 years old when you entered the Manor. The old housekeeper told Prime Minister, that you were his biological nephew.
But before he died, why did he tell you your real birthday
and told you not to tell anyone,
especially your godfather, Qi Zhen?
You dare to say another word.
Have you found anything from investigating your real identity for so many years?
How did you find out?
I coincidentally know of an old story,
that may be related to your identity.
I wonder if Mister has time for some tea?
Mister have heard of the late Heir Apparent Wenyi.
That year, Heir Apparent Wenyi established brilliant military success.
But he had a disloyal heart
and coveted for the throne of the Deep Water Nation.
As he was such a disloyal and unfilial man, his whole family was killed.
Naturally, everyone in the Deep Water Nation knows about this incident.
What if I told you, that that is not the truth of it?
When Heir Apparent Wenyi was famous all over the world,
King Renzong was at his peak.
Heir Apparent was courageous and strong, the people loved him.
The people of Deep Water Nation only admired Heir Apparent and not Renzong.
There were malicious people in the palace who spread slander about him.
Renzong became more and more suspicious.
In the end, an evil person set up a plot to harm Heir Apparent.
King Renzong couldn't tolerate an Heir Apparent who stood out more than him.
The person who set him up...
...was the former Heir Apparent's best friend.
Qi Zhen, who is now the most powerful Prime Minister!
The execution of the Heir Apparent's whole family,
the people thought it was the extermination of his lineage.
But I know he still has two descendants.
The two of them are living purposeless lives.
Both of them have a water dragon tattoo on their shoulder!
Could it possibly be that Mister coincidentally have the same tattoo on his shoulder?
Impossible!
I was thrown away when I was young.
Prime Minister gave me the chance to start over!
You've become so familiar with living a life with a villain as your father,
that you've forgotten what's flowing in your blood.
♫ A solitary sailboat is drifting everywhere with no boundary ♫
It's fine too. If you think what I've just said is just nonsense,
then arrest and take me to Qi Zhen.
♫ My heart isn't an isolated island ♫
♫ Changing mind and fluctuating only takes one second ♫
♫ The world is the embrace ♫
Mister Qiu is making sugar art in the South of the city. You can ask him to testify.
Mister Zong is here.
Miss Yuwen, Mister Zong is here to attend to your illness. Please open the door.
Come in.
This way, please.
I didn't expect that we'd meet again inside the palace.
You recognize me?
Look at you baring your fangs and waving your hands about.
Who else could it be but Fuyao?
You should have said earlier.
Back to the point, my head has been hurting a lot. It feels like my head is about to split from moving slightly.
I think you must've been kicked by a donkey. You'll be fine after a few acupuncture needles.
No need. Thank you, thank you.
What are you up to today? Why have you summoned me into the palace?
I'm just worried about you. I wanted to see if you were dead or alive.
If you keep this up, I'll really be dead soon.
You're a medical sage. Even dead people can be brought back to life by you.
If you died one day, I definitely won't bring you back from the king of hell.
I've at least delivered the item for you, didn't I?
Even if I don't get credit for it, I still used effort to do it. Why don't you ask me about my situation?
You're already in his palace harem. What other situation do I need to ask about?
Maybe he has convinced you to be his internal agent.
About the item I've given you, as long as it lands in his hands,
you don't need to worry about anything else.
I really am worried about your safety.
I really am feeling uneasy because you took the arrow in my place that day.
Think about it, danger is hiding behind every corner in the Prime Minister's Manor.
Even if we're not friends, we did live through hardships together.
Shouldn't you at least give me some condolences?
Alright. If you're really feeling unwell, I'll give you a diagnosis.

What's wrong? Am I going to die soon?
Yes.
You're not going to live for long.
Fortunately, there's this effective medicine. You'll be fine after you take it.
If it's black, it's to save lives. If it's white, it's to kill.
If it's bright red, ask me before you take it.
Then what is bright red medicine for?
Her pulse is like that of a living person, but also a dying one.
Mister is feeling anxious about Miss Fuyao being abducted that day.
But now, Miss Fuyao is already in the palace.
Is Mister going to visit her?
You're falling for me aren't you?
Find her,
or the five regions will be forever doomed.
There's no rush, there is plenty of time.
[Prince Fierce is heavily ill, he has left to have some peaceful rest in the mountains.]
Fifth Older Brother, Fifth Older Brother... your mind is only filled with your Fifth Older Brother from day to night.
You don't even know where he is now. How are you going to find him by yourself and a horse?
Leaving the Deep Water Nation, head North and it's the Heaven Fiend Nation. I can absolutely find him.
But...but didn't you promise to wait here for him to come back? Why are you going to find him?
I did promise him. But I've gotten used to running after him over the years.
For me to stay here alone to just sit and wait, I can't take it.
But, the road is dangerous. For a lady on her own...
What will you do if someone bullies you?
Who will dare to bully me? I'm the one who bullies others.
How about it? Will you come along with me?
The Heaven Fiend Nation is snowy and icy. They also have mountain foods that Deep Water Nation don't have. It's quite fun.
- Really? - Why would I lie to you?
It's Winter all four seasons there.
You can ski or ice skate. There are mountain stags to eat wherever you go.
They also have sugared fruits made with liquid sugar.
I guarantee you, you wouldn't have eaten anything as delicious.
Then... alright, then. I...
No. I can't go with you.
- Why not? - I have to go find Fuyao.
I left Mt. Mystic Soul with her at the start, but now she's stuck in the palace.
There are unknown dangers, so I can't leave her on her own.
A loyal friend! Fuyao didn't dote on you wastefully.
But, the palace is now heavily fortified.
Fuyao is now an Elegant Miss. How would you find her so easily?
That doesn't matter. I've already had a solution.
But, I can't tell you yet.
Alright. Anyway, when I come back with Fifth Older Brother,
I must see a living and kicking Fuyao.
If she got hurt... I'll blame it on you!
Don't worry. Then, I'll wait for you to bring back sugared fruits for me.
Deal! I'm leaving then.
Take care of yourself!
You take good care of yourself too.
I look forward to this eagerly.
Don't you?
Master is the one in the spotlight, I am fine as an onlooker.
You're getting better at acting.

Assemble the Elegant Miss!
Welcome, Your Majesty!
Today is the day I'm choosing a consort. I've purposefully summoned you all here
to help me come up with an idea.
Your Majesty, choosing consorts is serious matter. How do we dare take precedence?
It is because it's a serious matter,
that I especially summoned you all to help me make a final decision.
Summon the Elegant Miss into the palace hall!
Respectful greetings, Your Majesty.
These are all excellent beauties.
Next time, when I act in a play,
I wouldn't have to be worried about not having someone to act with.
You.
Come to the front.
What is your name?
My name is Tang Zhirong. Greetings, Your Majesty.
She is the daughter of the General of Faraway Lands, Tang Bonian, Tang Zhirong. She is 17 years old.
The General of Faraway Lands.
Your Majesty, the General of Faraway Lands, Tang Bonian,
has guarded the borders for many years. He is a subject who has contributed greatly to Deep Water Nation.
Is that so? Then, I will choose the one whom Prime Minister thinks is best.
For serious matters like choosing consorts, Your Majesty should decide himself.
Then...I've picked one.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Who is the next one?
Greetings, Your Majesty. My name is Chen Xiangxie.
- Go back. - Yes.
- My name is Yuwen– - Why is there still so many people?!
Your Majesty.
- This Elegant Miss is Yuwen from the North– - Alright, alright, alright.
Jiang Feng, hand the jade tablet to Prime Minister.
I'll just choose whoever the Prime Minister thinks is best.
Yes.
Your Majesty, don't make a joke such as this with me.
Prime Minister, please.
- Your Majesty, I am not deserving of this good fortune. - Prime Minister.
Why are you being so polite? Although choosing consorts is a matter of the palace harem,
it is also related to the frontal palace.
As Prime Minister works in the best interests of the country, for you to choose consorts for me,
naturally you shouldn't refuse to accept the responsibility.
- I don't dare. - You–!
Since that is the case, the ones I've decided on before this are invalid!
Today, I'll set a precedent,
spinning the jade spinner.
- Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Okay, okay. - I want this one.
- Does it look good? - Yes!
- The two of you can have this one. Take it, take it. - Thank you, grandfather.
- Thank you. - Take it. You two have it.
- Older Brother, wait for me! - Hurry! Mister Qiu is blowing sugar art again!
- Come quick. Which one do you want today? This one is for you. - Mister Qiu.
Take it. Okay, okay, this one is for you.
Young Mister, do you want to buy one?
Young Mister is still the same as the past, only looking at it.
You couldn't bring yourself to eat it even when it melted.
Mister Qiu.
Ladies, lessen your impatience!
Your Majesty has said, whoever the jade spinner lands on,
she will be chosen into the palace harem.
You all, just wait for the announcement.
Hey! How could there be such logic? In all of the Deep Water Nation's history and former generations,
nothing as ridiculous as this has ever happened before!
All history and former generations are in the past.
Today, our King has spoken.
So us, who are under his command, should follow.
- Let's go. - Preposterous!
Three queens were from our Xiping Monarch Mansion.
I've never heard of them being chosen by spinning a jade spinner.
What are you smiling about?
Looks to me as though someone is desperately trying to put flowers on her bald head. (chinese idiom analogous to: as useful as putting lipstick on a pig)
You... you're insulting me?!
Enough, enough, enough! Enough.
We still have to get by as sisters in the palace. Don't break the harmonious atmosphere.
- Who do you think you are?! You're born from a concubine! - I–
Don't think that just because the King picked on you before, that you're suitable for calling me "sister".
Yeah. Say, if even the born from the legal wife wasn't picked, how could she be fit to be our sister?
You wild brat! I'm going to tear your mouth!
You–!
Look at your face that has been kicked by a donkey.
If I was you, I wouldn't dare to come out to scare people.
- Older sister. - What?
- Your mouth. - What's wrong with my mouth?
- You–! - Today is really a good day.
The wish that Miss Gao has just made has already come true.
Older sister, your face is so pretty.
Choosing consorts is an important matter.
It's not quite appropriate to treat it like a game, right?
I asked Prime Minister to choose, but Prime Minister wouldn't.
I... I... can only ask the Gods to choose.
Whoever this lands on will be picked.
Summon! Tang Zhirong, Jian Xue, Yuwen Zi,
Fu Jiayi, Na Lanjing, Chen Xiangxie,
Zhang Wanting, Liu Jueqi, into the palace!
I'm not included? How could I not be included?!
I'm not included?
Miss Gao, how unfortunate. Even if Zhirong wants to use you to get higher in status and be sisters,
- I'm afraid there's no chance now. - You–!
Mister, please have a seat.
Look, you...
Zong Yue said, you were the one who betrayed your master for selfish gains.
What Elder Mister said about the past is right.
Why?
Second Mister, do you know
what was written on the imperial decree 15 years ago?
"In the Heir Apparent's mansion, no matter if they're male or female, old or young,
"high or low in status, are to be killed with legal authority."
What is this?
This is to cut that final tie Heir Apparent Wenyi had with Deep Water Nation!
It was to exterminate his lineage!
Killed with legal authority.
But you're still alive!
I am alive...
I am still alive.
All the people criticize behind my back and call me a traitor.
Saying that I betrayed my master for selfish gains.
But who can understand?!
If I didn't get Qi Zhen's trust,
how could I have protected the two young misters' lives?!
That year, when I acted to have betrayed my master for my gains,
that was... that was the last thing Heir Apparent entrusted to me!
I... even if I have to go down in history infamously,
I still could never fail him!
I've seen so many ladies today, in terms of appearance and demeanor,
I think...
...you are the best.
Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty.
What should I reward you with?
You will be titled... Lady Precious.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Get up.
Your Majesty! The rules of the Deep Water Nation has always been to, among the Elegant Miss,
name the 4 ladies, Precious, Virtue, Virtuous and Fair.
Then decide on the Queen from among them.
There is no previous antecedent event, where titles were given one at a time.
You–
You.
You. Say your names.
My name is Jian Xue. My father is Jian Shen from Hanlin Imperial Academy.
Miss Yuwen is Prime Minister's goddaughter.
What?
Alright, then. Both of you look pleasing to the eye.
How about this, you'll be titled Lady Virtue.
You'll be Lady Fair.
All the others will be Vibrant Miss!
- Thank you, Your Majesty! - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Three of the four main lady consorts have been chosen.
There is only one Lady Virtuous missing, there's–
This– let's end here today, alright?
Let's discuss all others another day.
Your Majesty.
I didn't expect choosing consorts to be this tiring. Jiang Feng, accompany me back.
Yes.
Selecting consorts is an important and serious issue!
Alright, alright!
If there's anything else, let's discuss after I wake up.
Second Mister.
Mister Qiu!
Second Mister, I dragged on my life for so long
just to let Mister know who your enemy is.
You can never be soft-hearted and light-handed,
more so, you can't name a villain as your father!
