Episode 33
-So, the reason you wanted to see me is to get away from other people?
-No, Ge that isn't it
- I think that you're different from other people
When you speak and do anything, there's no airs about you. There's no one following you too.
- Let me tell you, Da Yao will definitely like you.
- Da Yao?
- I just met a friend, and he's very talented
- He's probably busy right now, but I'll introduce you guys
- Is he a good cook?
- Not only does he cook well,
but out of all the people I know,
he's the smartest, most capable, and most talented
I need to thank the fact that we were captured together
Now that I think about it, I didn't have the opportunity to sleep with him
-You what?
- She's a lady, how could you sleep together?
- No, you misunderstood, the person I'm talking about is a boy -Oh
Biyi rolls, Yuzi braise.
-There's still a lot more dishes to come, please wait a bit
-Wait a sec
Just say that Brother Chunyu wants to try it when it's fresh.
-Ok
This is Biyi rolls,
this is Yuzi braise.
-Ge, what is it?
- Don't you think the names of these dishes are really weird?
- Let me tell you, these are all Da Yao Yao's names.
This person,
- Where is she? I want to meet her.
- I'm done here
- Da Yao Yao!
- What is it?
- He came again, he wants to see you.
He also said that he wants two servings of the Double Layered Steamed Red Beans custard.
- Two servings? Are there other people?
- Maybe his friends?
It must be General He Lian, right?
-No, that's not it -Then I don't want to meet him
It's not General He Lian. I heard that it's...
it seems like Master Jing called him Brother Chunyu.
Slow down. If you don't want to go, I will go.
- No
- I can go
Burnt up!
You are Li Yao?
(describing the characters that make up the name)
- Da Yao probably figured out what was going on
I can't stay here or she'll get mad
- Is this who you were talking about?
- Yes, of course!
There's no difference between fat, skinny, delicate and pretty, right?
- Yes yes yes
- Ok
- The dishes you make are very unique
- Can you tell me how you made them?
- This dish, uh
uh
- What's wrong?
- There's something stuck in my throat
- Stuck? Eat some rice first.
Please continue talking
-Ah, this dish...
is...
-What about this one? How did you make this?
-Oh, this one, in fact...
Uh....
-I don't feel good
It's weird
It really hurts.
-Be careful!
-Jiejie will you buy one?
-I don't need one, thanks.
-My home has people waiting for me
-Ok, fine
-Thank you, Jiejie
-For you
I want to write
[Make big bucks]
Ok, I'm done
-Remember
From today, your only goal is to earn a lot of money
-Jia Yao,
-You must be mistaken, that isn't me.
-Yao yao
-I don't know you
-Look at my face
You really don't recognize me?
-My name also has a Yao character
- Yao yao -Let go of me!
-I won't let go of you
-You must have had such a hard time
I know what you have to do,
but can you listen to what I'm saying?
-What do I have to listen to you say?
You said that you were a spy and you couldn't help it.
Or that everyone in Black Wind Fortress are bandits. They deserved to die.
That's not what I care about.
I care about Sangsang & Chengcheng's blood,
including Songqi's blood.
They died in front of me!
-Yao listen to me. - Don't you dare come over!
Your Highness Xia.
I'm sadder than anyone else and also, you about Brother's death. Yao Yao,
I already tried my best to save them
but sorry, I didn't do it.
As for you and me,
do you still remember our pact?
Just trust me again
for one more time. After everything has ended, I will take you to the real London,
Paris and Japan. If you want to cry, I will cry with you.
If you want to laugh, I will laugh with you too.
I don't know what London, Paris and Japan is like in this era and where they are.
No matter where they are,
wherever you want to go,
I will go with you.
I gave you the chance
but did you treasure it?
We have never really trusted each other.
We were always acting.
Sadly, I played seriously and acted seriously.
What about you?
You have always been clear-headed.
How could I have been clear-headed?
I tried to tell you many times, Yao Yao.
I'm a spy
but the name, Xia Chunyu, is real.
Yao Yao.
Frankly, I'm Jing'an's...
- What are you doing? -
What about after that?
Why didn't you tell me later?
I thought it wasn't important anymore.
Your Highness Xia.
The play...
has already ended.
Those who watched the play, has already left.
It's already in the past.
It doesn't need to have an ending again.
Please don't follow me again.
Wait!
Your Highness Xia, is there still something else?
Since you already said that it's in the past
but let's start anew.
Miss, how are you?
I'm Xia Chunyu.
Xia Chunfeng is my father.
The current Madam Xia is not my biological mother.
I have a younger stepbrother. His name is Xia Chunfeng.
I have another name. It's Sir Fuyi.
Sir Xia, you are a noble.
You are out of my reach.
I also met a lady.
Her name is Yao Yao.
Through coincidence and fate, she became my wife.
I love her very much.
I believe that she loves me very much too.
She taught me a very strange phrase.
It's called "I love you".
We later separated because of a misunderstanding.
Whether it's the past, present or future,
I will only have her in my heart in this lifetime.
But that woman has already died in the blood bath at Black Wind Fortress.
The person who's standing in front of you now,
it's Li Yao.
She is also a totally new person.
Although she is alone in this world
but the main painful moment has already passed.
He can rely on his own ability...
and continue to live happily and in freedom.
I'm sorry.
I made you suffer.
I'm sorry.
Let go of me!
Xia Chunyu,
don't let me hate you.
Yao Yao!
In the past, you were insistent on liking me.
I will also never let go of you now!
Your Majesty, how's the taste?
Liuli personally made this for you.
In the harem, so many concubines and princess, but you are the most clever.
No wonder the Royal highness Princess consider you as her own daughter.
My emperor flatter me. Liuli will always remember my status.
I can serve the emperor and the Royal Highness Princess is Liuli's blessing. Liuli does not dare to slack off.
The Qianshi in the soup looks like it is different from what I normally eat.
The taste seems to be a lot better.
My Emperor, Qianshi that make a soup in this palace are dry.
And. these are fresh, come from Jiangnan, also called Jitoumi.
Qianshi is top grade, the fresh one is upper grade.
However...
However what?
However the Jitoumi is difficult to preserve.
Hence, His Highness Crown Prince personally rode his horse to Jiangnan.
And the outer shell of the Gorgon fruit is very hard. It's hard to open it.
If you're careless and rip open its outer skin, causing the inner juice to seep out, it won't be fresh anymore.
And these that you're eating were personally prepared by His Highness Crown Prince.
One jin of Gorgon fruit can yield only 2 liang of edible part.
Just for this little amount that you're eating, His Highness Crown Prince has hurt his hands.
How are his hands now?
Why don't Your Majesty personally ask him?
Little Liuli,
your motive is not really on this gorgon fruit.
Fine.
- Call him in. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Calling for Crown Prince to enter the palace hall!
Greetings, Royal Father.
Rise.
Thank you, Royal Father.
Mingxie, just to see me, you exerted much effort.
You even asked a favor from Princess Liuli.
Royal Father, you misunderstood.
I saw how Royal Father has been tiring yourself from governing state affairs
and I was worried that you'll get sick from it. I admit that I'm slow-witted.
I can only do some minor things to unburden you.
Saying these words
shows that you know your limitations.
Mingxie, rather than spending your time to nonsense like these,
why not care more about major state matters and the citizens?
Informing Royal Father,
my trip to Jiangnan was not only for these gorgon fruits,
I actually was able to investigate a major matter. Don't know...
...if I should say it or not.
Oh?
Looks like you came ready.
Royal Father, have you heard of the legend of Lord Fuyi?
I found out that Xia Chunyu is the Lord Fuyi that's being committing major crimes in different places.
Immediately submit it for me to see.
The tune of your flute is sweet but dreary. Are you missing someone?
A very good friend of mine.
But he got killed by someone.
Got killed?
Why then are you not seeking justice for him?
Because the person who caused his death is me...
...and you.
What?!
All these are in the past.
If not because I still miss him,
I will really want to be like you,
just completely forget about all these past.
Who is he?
- In this life, he is my— - Surround it!
General He Lian.
Why did you bring so many people to trespass into my Xia Manor?
I was ordered by the Crown Prince to arrest the treacherous criminal, Xia Chunyu.
Treacherous criminal?
May I ask why I suddenly became a treacherous criminal?
I am just following orders. May Heir Apparent not make things difficult for me.
You're just a general. What right do you have to go to other people's manor and randomly arresting people?
What crime did Xia Chunyu do? Why don't you clearly explain it to everyone?
Your Highness Prince Yu,
do you still treat yourself as the past Prince Yu?
I don't know if I'm Prince Yu or not.
I only know that you can't take away my friend!
It's not up to you. Arrest him!
Chunyu.
Chunyu!
Be careful, Chunyu!
Attack!
Chunyu, your arm. Are you alright?
Looks like your target today isn't me,
but Mingyu, right?
You must know
that His Majesty personally promised me that he's letting Mingyu go.
But things change as time goes on. I think Heir Apparent shouldn't make unnecessary resistance anymore.
Have you forgotten about the grudge of Black Wind Fortress?
Why are you still defending him?
The person who annihilated Black Wind Fortress is you!
You are too naive.
All that was just an act that Zheng Mingyu and I played in front of you.
Why don't you think first that if I'm the real mastermind, how come the one rewarded is him and not me?!
All of you, listen!
Xia Chunyu and Zheng Mingyu disobeyed the royal decree.
- Kill them all! - Yes!
Helian Xuan!
Despicable lowly person. Heir Apparent take His Highness and escape first.
Meng Yun!
You're asking for death!
Don't mind me! Quickly leave!
- Let's go! - Meng Yun! Meng Yun!
This Xia Chunyu...
Royal Father, not only do I have these material evidences. I also have a witness.
A lot of people have seen Lord Fuyi. They all say that his looks is completely the same as Xia Chunyu.
Your Majesty, please forgive me.
It's my fault. I forgot that Liuli is still here.
It's not appropriate for a lady to hear bloody events like these. Leave first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Continue saying.
Xia Chunyu went missing in Hainan.
That was only Fifth Brother's one-sided claim.
He disguised as Lord Fuyi and did chivalrous acts on the outside, but in reality, privately employed illegal punishments
to go against the government. For so many years, there were never any news about him.
But when Fifth Brother got demoted to a commoner, he returned to their Marquis Manor.
I can't help but guess that maybe Xia Chunyu is a pawn of Fifth Brother.
Hurry.
Did Marquis Jing'an enter the palace today?
Yes, he is currently in Chenfang Palace Hall with Princess Royal discussing the repair of the dykes.
Turn around.
[Chun...]
[is in trouble]
[Chunyu is in trouble]
Princess!
Quickly hand this to Marquis Jing'an. Quickly go.
Yes.
What eliminating the oppressors for the citizens, punishing the corrupt officials.
It might be just cultivating allies and eliminating enemies.
I feared that he might escape out of guilt,
so I've sent men beforehand to capture him.
You know how to prepare beforehand.
Hurry! Over there!
Chunyu, your injury is too grave.
Here.
Thank you.
Chunyu, just stay here first.
Where are you going?
- I'll go save Meng Yun. - Are you crazy?
Although I don't understand who is Meng Yun, he must be my most loyal friend. I must save him.
Even if you pay with your life, you're willing?
I'm willing. I've lost my memories. This life has no meaning anymore.
But you and Meng Yun are friends that are sincere towards me.
I will not let you two get hurt.
- I'll go with you. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
Informing Your Majesty, Marquis Jing'an is requesting an audience for an important matter.
This Marquis Jing'an came at the right time.
Royal Father, he must be here to beg for his son. You must not—
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, just listen to my few words.
Marquis Jing'an, you dared to trespass into the Imperial Study and disturb His Majesty?!
Quickly drag him out!
Your Majesty, Lord Fuyi punishing people illegally is indeed unpardonable,
but I am using my head as guarantee that there must be another story behind this.
- Are you all still not dragging him out?! - Wait.
This matter concerns our empire's fate. May I ask to talk with His Majesty privately.
How dare you!
- Royal Father. - Enough.
Isn't it just a Xia Chunyu? Why are you two talking about this matter so seriously?
Okay then.
Tell me about it. If you're unable to make a reasonable stand, don't blame me for disregarding old friendship.
Royal Father.
Enough. You all leave first.
- Royal Father— - Leave!
Yes.
- Take him away! - Yes.
Helian Xuan, no matter what crime I committed, I'll leave with you.
Let him go first.
Too bad, it's too late.
Arrest him!
Stop!
Please read the decree.
[Marquis Jing'an Manor]
How is Mingyu and Meng Yun?
Meng Yun is more gravely injured, but he's out of danger.
Young Sir Zheng is also resting.
But your wound...
It's fine already.
Regarding today...
Thank you.
You also don't need to thank me.
What you should thank...
...is your mother.
Isn't that the congealed jade bead?
Why did you take that out?
This isn't an item of Great Master Jiren.
This is the love token of your mother and I.
Isn't my mother just a commoner that you abandoned?
Your mother isn't a commoner's daughter.
Your mother is the most doted little princess of Ximin Nation.
In the past, our empire was at war with Ximin.
I got conferred as General Jingyuan and set out towards the front line.
In one battle,
I got severely injured and fell off a cliff.
Hanning saved me.
But that time, I didn't know
that she is the enemy nation's princess that sneaked out of their palace.
Afterwards,
we fell in love.
By the time that she was already pregnant,
I represented the government and started a peace negotiation
with the main commander of Ximin Nation,
which is Hanning's older brother from a different mother.
I hoped that our marriage
can bring about the cessation of war.
Let the citizens of both nations
be able to have good days.
But on the day that you were born,
the pro-war faction of Ximin Nation
suddenly sent men to attack us.
General! Something bad happened to Madam!
Hanning!
Hanning! Hanning!
Who killed my mother?
An assassin sent by
the pro-war faction of Ximin Nation.
They blamed this matter to us.
It was also my fault for not being able to protect Hanning.
After she died, the peace negotiation between the two nations collapsed. This war...
...lasted for ten plus years.
Why didn't you tell me this beforehand?
Today, if not because His Majesty
suspected that you used the identity of Lord Fuyi to do chivalrous acts
as a pretense to another motive, I would have never
told anyone
that you have Ximin blood.
Chunyu, upon getting born, you went missing.
I initially thought that you're dead.
Until I found you in Enye Temple.
Whenever I see you, I will remember Hanning.
I hope that you stay safe and sound throughout your life.
Peacefully enjoy wealth, fame, glory, and splendor.
I don't want you to get involved in the complicated political situation
and be used by others.
But His Majesty now know about my true identity.
Yes, the reason he burned those evidences
right in front of me is because right now,
the Ximin government is having an internal strife.
An your uncle Gemu,
which is Hanning's older brother from the same mother,
is the favored heir to the royal throne of Ximin.
He is the leader of the pro-peace faction.
If he can successfully ascend to the throne,
His Majesty will then confer you the title Envoy Yunping
and send you to lead the peace negotiations with Gemu.
Chunyu,
what happens to you in the future,
will really depend on yourself.
But my purpose in returning this time
was just to save Mingyu's life.
Hence, our manor suffered this kind of trouble.
How come His Highness Crown Prince dug up all those past things?
On the outside, it was to eliminate you.
In reality, he's trying to eliminate Zheng Mingyu.
I know that you don't want to give Zheng Mingyu up.
But if you want to better protect him,
from now on, stop disregarding the political matters.
Marquis. Heir Apparent.
Marquis, Princess Liuli's personal maidservant, Xiao Ya,
is requesting to see Heir Apparent. She's been waiting in our manor for a long time.
Tell her that Heir Apparent will see her. Leave first.
Yes.
Chunyu, I was able to seek an audience with His Majesty today
all thanks to Princess Liuli secretly sending me a note about your trouble.
I know that you've liked her since you were little.
If she can become our Xia family's future daughter-in-law,
Don't say it anymore.
I know what to do.
All these are gifts given by Heir Apparent to thank you for saving him.
Is he brushing me off with just these gifts?
I saved his life.
How come he refuses to visit me?
Princess, calm down. Heir Apparent is currently hurt, so it's inconvenient for him to move around.
He got hurt? Where?
Heir Apparent isn't gravely injured.
Princess, Furen Xia asks for an audience.
Quickly let her in. You all leave first and guard outside.
Without my instruction, no one is allowed in.
Yes.
Greetings, Princess.
Furen! Furen, please get up!
There are no outsiders here.
How can I bear to accept Furen's grand bow?
Princess just saved my Xia family's heir apparent earlier.
How could you not bear my bow?
Furen, you misunderstood.
Don't deny it.
Because of you, Crown Prince was able to have an audience with His Majesty.
It was also because of you
that His Highness' plan got foiled.
