Your Majesty has to bottoms up.
I wish your Majesty and the Kingdom of Chu
endless fortune and longevity!
Good.
Come, your Majesty. Let's have another drink.
Good. I'll finish this.
Emperor of Chu.
The wine is very good.
But to only have these dancers here, accompanying the wine,
it's regretful.
Exactly! King of Chu,
I've heard that your Princess Fu Ya of Chu,
is extremely beautiful,
and her dancing is goddess-like with her loveliness and grace.
Today, we have come to witness her beauty with our own eyes.
How dare you say?! Your Majesty!
Travelling such a long way,
how could we let our precious guests return with such disappointment?
Come.
Tell the Princess to come and dance.
Your Majesty, it is terrible! The princess has disappeared!
Leave. Yes.
Hey! Open the door!
Who's there?
Princess Fu Ya.
It's the Princess! Quick, inform Commander Yi.
Yes!
Your Highness! It's really you!
What was the occassion? Why did you leave the Palace?
Let's not delay any further. Let us in.
Yes.
Let's go.
Come, drink.
Okay.
I say, Emperor of Chu,
we've already waited a long time.
When will Princess Fu Ya arrive?
If the Princess insists on not coming,
this wine,
is becoming more and more pointless.
Looks like the rumors are false.
If Princess Fu Ya's good looks are a rumor and she's too shy to face people,
then we should all just go back,
and not make things difficult for the Emperor of Chu.
Shut your mouth.
You dare to insult my daughter.
Liu Lian Cheng,
your family's dogs recklessly bite people,
you actually pretend not to notice?
I've noticed.
I let him bite.
Not bad.
Reward.
Thank you, your Highness.
Come. Your Majesty.
Welcoming the Princess.
Good.
Very good.
Thankfully there's nothing wrong now.
Ya Ya, you're tired right?
I can use the needles, but you had to do it yourself.
Here, drink a cup of hot tea.
Where's my Father?
Is the feast not over yet?
Don't worry.
Princess Xiang Yun is there in your place.
It's all thanks to Sister Yun.
I wonder when father's feast will end.
He should still remember his promise with me right?
Good.
Princess is really an outstanding beauty,
drop dead gorgeous.
The princess' dance is like a goddess
almost like an immortal,
just like Chang E.
Seeing her today, I only have admiration for her.
Liu Lian Cheng, what are you laughing at?
I'm laughing that this Princess is a fake.
You all still treat her like a treasure.
You are speaking nonsense
I've seen Princess Fu Ya many times.
She is ten times more beautiful than this girl.
Emperor of Chu,
you are a country's ruler,
yet you dare to humiliate this Zhou Kingdom's ambassador.
That's looking down on my Zhou Dynasty.
Since you can't keep your promises,
then my country will break off relations with yours.
Wait.
Right, tell Princess Fu Ya to come out.
If we don't see Princess Fu Ya today,
we won't let the issue rest.
What?
They could tell that Sister Xiang Yun is fake,
and are making it difficult for Imperial Father?
They said that if you don't go out and dance, the three countries will join forces and attack.
Get my outfit.
Princess.
You haven't slept all night and have used up all your energy.
If you do the Phoenix dance,
you will use a lot of energy.
You can't.
It doesn't matter. Get my outfit.
The Princess will dance for the guests.
That's awesome.
The woman from before
is already rare in the world.
I never thought that Princess Fu Ya
would even be better!
"There really is a heaven beyond a heaven"
There are people who are extraordinary!
Ma Fu Ya,
I never knew that you were so good at such tactics.
Tricking me into warming the stage for you
and teasing their appetite before taking the stage
and steal my glory.
A cunning method,
I'll remember this.
I will definitely get revenge for this.
Open the door!
Charge!
Kill!
Good . . .
Good, good, good . . .
Good!
I performed the Phoenix dance
to welcome visitors as you have all wished.
Please stop making things difficult for my Imperial Father.
What are you talking about?
I was just kidding earlier.
Princess Fu Ya!
Fu Ya!
Move!
Daughter. Men! Get the Imperial Physician!
Yes!
Quickly!
Daughter, daughter!
Call the Imperial Physician!
Fu Ya, you are awake?
Imperial Father . . .
are they still making things difficult for him?
I'll go over there.
Fu Ya, don't worry.
Your Imperial Father is fine.
How would they dare to make things difficult for him?
Currently,
they are all flattering your Imperial Father
hurriedly.
Flattering him?
Begging Imperial Father to give his precious daughter
to them.
You didn't agree to that right?
Ya Ya,
in order to protect your Imperial Father and Mother,
in order to protect our Kingdom of Chu,
you didn't even want your life.
Even if I had a heart of stone,
how would I bear to force you into a marriage of alliance?
Imperial Mother . . .
Okay, let's not have a marriage of alliance.
I will stay by Imperial Father and Mother's sides for the rest of my life
and be filial to you guys.
Little girl . . .
A grown up girl
will eventually have to marry someone.
However, I promise you,
when you find someone from Kingdom of Chu that you like,
we'll talk about marriage again.
Here, I give this to you.
Isn't this the Phoenix hairpin?
Imperial Father gave it to you as an engagement gift?
This is something that I value the most in my life.
I'll pass it on to you
hoping that you will find your ideal man.
Be a happily married couple,
live happily with your husband for the rest of your life.
Imperial Mother, this Phoenix hairpin
you should just keep it.
If I can just stay by your side forever,
all my wishes will be fulfilled.
Good child.
All right, Fu Ya.
Lay back down and rest.
Emperor of Chu,
please let me marry Princess Fu Ya.
Let me say that
if my daughter says she won't marry, she won't marry.
Don't even think about taking her.
My Imperial Father-in-law,
if you marry Princess Fu Ya to me,
my Ming Kingdom will give three cities to the Chu Kingdom.
I'm not selling my daughter.
I don't care about that.
Crown Prince Sheng Zhi,
The Princess is a heavenly beauty.
Don't even talk about 3 mere cities,
even if you use your entire empire
to make her smile
is worth it.
It is Chai Rong's words that are pleasing to hear.
My Princess . . .
How come I'm laughing?
I feel really hot.
Kill!
Your Majesty, traitor soldiers are attacking the city!
Quickly retreat.
There's something wrong with this wine.
Crown Prince, we should go quickly.
We should also go quickly.
Murderers.
What happened?
Wake up Princess, quickly wake up.
Empress, something's wrong.
Quickly run.
What happened?
Tell me clearly.
Outside... Outside there are people rebelling!
Where's the Emperor?
I.. I don't know either.
Mother, I'll go find Imperial Father.
Du Yun, Yun Er.
What should we do?
I'll watch over the Princess,
you can go and retrieve the Crown Prince.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Quickly come.
Where is sister running off to so anxiously?
You, you're still drinking?
Don't you know there's a big change in the palace?
I know, I knew of it a long time ago.
I knew of it earlier than sister by quite a few days.
But I've been waiting for this day.
You don't know how long I've been waiting.
What? So it's you.
You, the Emperor has always treated you well.
You wretch! You!
I am a wretch
but a wretch is stronger than a dead person.
When did you and Ma Yin think of me as a living person?
You are always looking down on me.
I would rather die!
I vowed
that one day I would have you under my feet.
I didn't think that
this day would come so quickly.
So what if you're a Princess of Tang?
So what if you're the Empress?
Today, this wretch
will watch how a noble person like you
becomes a dead person.
Get away.
What are you trying to do?
Jie jie, don't be afraid
I'm here to send you off.
Come, have a drink.
After you drink it, you can get on the road (to death).
Since you won't drink it,
don't blame me for destroying it.
Fu Ya, Fu Ya, quickly wake up.
You go away!
Fu Ya, wake up, Fu Ya.
Aunt Li, what are you doing?
I'm killing you guys.
Can't you tell?
Fu Ya, hurry and get out.
Hurry up, go.
Stop!
Imperial Mother . . .
What are we going to do?
Fu Ya, leave quickly! Leave quickly!
Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!
Imperial Mother . . .
Fu Ya, hurry.
Hurry, quickly get out.
Go!
Imperial Mother! Fu Ya!
I'll pull you up.
Fu Ya, go quickly.
Go look for your Imperial Father!
Imperial Mother!
Imperial Mother! Imperial Mother! Imperial Mother!
Imperial Mother! Imperial Mother!
Imperial Mother!
Hurry and run!
Princess! Jie jie!
Crown Prince, leave quickly! Hurry!
Fire! Hurry and run!
Fire!
Fire! Quickly escape!
Imperial Father, Imperial Father!
Imperial Father, where are you?
Imperial Father! Imperial Father!
Fire! Quick, run!
Hurry and run! Hurry and run!
Help! Run!
Your Highness!
I couldn't find Princess Fu Ya.
What?
Your Highness!
I didn't find Princess Fu Ya either.
Both of you listen,
no matter what you have to find Princess!
Otherwise bring your head to me!
Go search!
Yes!
Imperial Father, you must stay safe.
Run! Fire!
Imperial Father should be at . . .
Fire!
Fire! Quick, run!
Fu Ya . . .
Fire!
Hurry and run! Fire!
Fu Ya!
Fu Ya! Don't go in, it's dangerous!
Let me go!
I have to find Imperial Father!
Listen to me!
YourImperial Father has left and the Chu Kingdom will be destroyed.
Leave with me. I'll take care of you forever!
Let me go!
Fu Ya!
It's dangerous, your Highness!
Let me go!
It's dangerous, your Highness!
Fu Ya!
Don't go over there!
Fu Ya!
Don't go!
Everything is burning.
Burn me as well!
The Chu Kingdom is destroyed!
Imperial Father! Imperial Father!
Imperial Father, where are you?
Burn! You can burn it!
Burn! Quickly burn me to death as well!
Imperial Father . . .
Ya Ya . . .
Imperial Father, Imperial Father . . .
Ya Ya, don't be afraid.
Imperial Father is here.
Imperial Mother has died, died.
It's all my fault.
I couldn't protect you well.
I . . .
Imperial Father, what's wrong?
Imperial Father!
Imperial Father, I'm your daughter.
Imperial Father, Imperial Father . . .
Imperial Father, Imperial Father . .
Imperial Father.
Hua Ye Ye, what's wrong with Imperial Father?
Zhi Qiao, what did I do just now?
Your Majesty, that was Duan Xiao Xiao Yun San.
Those poisoned by it will wildly laugh
and go crazy.
They could even kill
their closest family members.
Emperor!
Daughter, don't be sad.
Come.
I'll take you to a place. Let's go.
Imperial Father, what is this place?
How come I've never been here before?
This is a secret passage in the Palace.
Continue on this path and
you'll be able to leave the Palace.
What about Imperial Brother?
I will go find him to go together.
No, you go first.
I'll go look for them.
Hurry!
Hua Gong Gong,
take the Princess and quickly leave.
Yes.
You lied!
You don't want to leave, right?
Child, listen to me.
Our Chu Kingdom is already destroyed.
As the Emperor,
my life is linked with the Chu Kingdom.
But I can't bear to take you along with me.
I can't bear to, can't bear to.
Imperial Father,
I want to live and die with the Chu Kingdom.
Listen to me,
I don't have a lot of time left.
In the past, you could disobey me
regardless of whatever mistakes you've made,
I could forgive you.
But this time
if you disobey me,
after I die
I will be angry with you at Hades.
Imperial Father . . .
Good, listen to me.
This door
bears a weight of extremely heavy rock.
Once the catch is open
the heavy slab will slowly shut
and collapse this tunnel.
The rebel troops,
no matter what,
will not be able to catch you.
Then let's go together.
Zi Qiao,
take care of my precious daughter.
Daughter,
call me daddy one more time, all right?
Like when you were young.
Call me daddy one more time, all right?
Daddy. Daddy. Daddy.
My good little girl, I'm really happy.
I'm really, really happy.
Princess.
Hurry up
or else we can't make it.
GO!
I don't want to go. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
Daddy . . .
Hurry, leave.
Daddy.
You haven't eaten the date cakes with me yet.
Daddy . . .
Leave.
Daddy . . .
Go!
Daddy! Daddy!
Child!
Let me go back!
Go.
Hua Ye Ye, I want to go back!
I want to go back.
I'm sorry.
I've wronged you.
Imperial Brother, it turns out you're here.
Imperial Brother, you came at the right time.
I must find out who betrayed me
otherwise I won't rest in peace.
I . . .
You can't! If you return, you'll only die.
What is that?
It's...
Come back, Princess!
I have already discovered it.
Who betrayed me?
So it was you! So it was you!
Your brother will become the Emperor.
Now you can rest in peace.
Yi Fang.
I never thought you would betray me.
I'll die but my daughter won't...
...won't let you live peaceably!
Princess, if you want to cry
then cry.
Don't hold it in.
Princess, you should cry.
Cry, Princess!
Cry loudly, Princess!
I snuck out
to buy something for daddy to eat.
That's good, then it's a promise.
Ya Ya, on my birthday,
go and buy some date cakes as my birthday tribute.
Here, pinky promise.
Okay!
Ya Ya has to keep her word.
Then I will wait for your birthday gift of date cakes.
Daddy, you didn't lie to me
these date cakes really are delicious.
Daddy, eat a piece.
Daddy, quick, eat a piece.
Princess, his Majesty... his Majesty has already . . .
Daddy, you've forgotten.
We promised
to eat date cakes together.
How can you lie to me?
Daddy, did you forget?
We pinky promised.
Daddy, you lied!
Princess . . .
Daddy!
Princess.
Hua Ye Ye is not forcing you to cry.
Let's not cry.
His Majesty... his Majesty didn't lie to you on purpose.
Daddy,
you're really not going to come?
I'm going to end up finishing all these cakes.
No, don't, don't . . .
Princess, the Emperor is already gone.
He's been murdered by Lord Jing!
He won't be coming back.
I want to go back.
You can't go back!
Lord Jing is scheming.
The palace is crawling with his men.
If you go back now, you'll only die.
Even so, I need to go back.
Father told me to take care of my little brother.
I can't just leave him there.
Princess.
There is only death if you go back.
I'm not afraid to die.
Elder Hua,
my brother is all I have left.
If even he dies, what purpose will I have to live.
Let me go back!
Ok, Ya Ya.
We are a family.
Live together, die together.
Crown Prince . . .
Crown Prince, we found water!
Prince, drink some water. Prince . . .
Prince! Prince!
Prince, please wake up!
Why do you feel so hot?
Your leg?
Prince, please wake up!
Help us, help us! Is there anyone who can help us?!
Help!
Prince, wake up!
Xiao Xin Gar (herself)..
will go find (medicine)...
wait for me.
Prince, wait for me.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Hurry, go.
Quick! Stop!
Imperial Father . . .
Imperial Father, Imperial Father . . .
I can't let him hang there!
Imperial Father!
Princess, you can't go. Hurry away.
You can't go, Princess.
Imperial Father!
I promised his Majesty before
to not let any more harm come to you.
If I don't come back,
Princess,
you can't go to your death.
Stay alive.
Only then can you seek revenge for the Emperor.
You must remember that, Princess.
Release the arrows!
Capture him!
Yes, sir!
Elder Hua!
Stop right there!
So much for you old eunuch.
Pretty daring.
Came with a single horse to die.
Fight me one on one if you dare!
Speak! Where is Ma Fu Ya?
Someone who isn't even worth a dog or pig,
you dare to speak the Princess' name.
Let me tell you,
the day when the princess takes revenge for the Emperor.
All you traitors
will die with a thousand swords.
No, you are the fool.
Be truthful. Tell us where she is.
I will leave you a way out or else.
(spits)
You!
Go ahead and kill me!
When I get to the Underworld
I will haunt you all day and night to even the score.
You want to die? Not that easily.
What are you going to do?
I've always been curious
what exactly does a eunuch look like.
You guys seen one before?
No, we haven't.
I hear they are different from us normal men.
You-!
Men without their life source
definitely isn't man or woman.
You despicable person who killed our family!
Elder Hua, don't!
Princess!
Leave me her, leave here!
I was caught by a bad guy.
I can't leave.
Who are you? Get off the Princess!
General.
I wonder how much is this Princess worth?
May I use her in exchange for a position as Officer of the 5th rank?
Okay. No problem.
Hero,
since you helped me,
in the future I will definitely recommend you to be a high officer.
But hero,
let me bring her back to Palace.
Okay, please yourself.
All of your guys, stop!
I'll kill him at once if anyone dare to come here.
Who are you at all?
You do not need to know. You only need to help us to leave.
Forget it!
Good!
Come, kill them!
If anyone dare to do,
the general will be killed!
You have a good future, are you really willing to die here today?
Allow them to leave.
Back away!
Did you hear me?! All of you, back away!
Back away!
Elder Hua, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Imperial Father . . .
Back away! If you guys want to save your general,
then back away! Let's go.
Back away!
Don't come any closer!
What do you want? To kill me?
Kill you? It will only stain my hands.
Ya Ya.
The earth is Emperor's best shelter now.
Let me stay with my father more moment.
A little longer.
Ya Ya,
the soldiers of Lord Jing will catch up soon.
If we stay here for any longer,
I'm afraid it'll be dangerous.
Father.
Wait!
Let me go find a memorial tablet for my father.
Ya Ya, stop.
Ya Ya,
writting with your blood will easily disappear.
The snow will erase it.
But if we do not erect a monument,
how can I find my father in future?
You want to erect a monument,
let people to find where your father buried,
and then dig him out and insult his corpse?
My father was an emperor his whole lifetime,
can't I erect a monument for him after his death?
Your father shouldn't have monument ,
instead, die without a burial place.
No! Don't burn my father!
Don't burn my father!
Yaya!
Father, your daughter is impiety! Father!
Father!
What is piety? And what is impiety?
After burning him, everything has ended. This is piety.
You are a demon!
You killed my father, I'll kill you!
Ya Ya! Give my father back!
I thought helped me by seizing my father's head back,
in fact you're just playing with our lives.
I will kill you...
Didn't you say that you don't want to kill any person?
Let me tell you,
remember the feeling of now,
remember the hate of now.
One day,
you should oppose your enemies
with this feeling.
You burned my father,
you are my enemy too!
I'll kill you first!
Hold it!
Ya Ya...
He did this for our own good
Look, this is an urn.
He wanted to protect his Majesty's dignity.
This way the rebels
won't be able to humiliate him any further.
Elder Hua...
Fu Ya!
Fire! Run!
Fu Ya!
Don't go in further, it's dangerous!
Let me go, I need to find Imperial Father.
Listen to me, your Imperial Father has left.
The Kingdom of Chu has fallen.
Follow me. I will look after you for the rest of your life.
Let go of me!
Fu Ya!
Where are you?
Where on earth are you?
Was your misfortunes my fault?
Elder, don't worry.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Ma Yi Fang would never know
we are near the capital of Chu.
It is,
but Ma Yi Fang...
offer a reward of 1000 Liang (1 Liang=0.05KG) for your arrest
and many people recognizes you.
Even if they recognize me,
they will not betray me.
What are you smiling about?
You have lost the country and the home,
but believe that people are not greedy.
So that's why your Imperial Father . . .
was usurped the thone by his brother.
Shut up!
I will not allow you to talk about my father like that!
Ya Ya,
he is right.
Human beings die in the pursuit of wealth and birds die in the pursuit of food.
Now...
Now we can't easily believe anyone.
Since you look down on me
why did you save me?
Although you're innocent to the point of being stupid,
to me,
you are useful.
What is my usefulness?
Is it my stupidity or my soft heartedness?
Neither.
It's your cold blooded heart,
and lack of a conscience.
Why would you say something like that to me?
You only know to kill people.
Yes, I only know to kill people.
But you do too.
I do not believe...
you can forget your enmity and hate.
Imperial Mother!
Ma Yi Fang!
If I don't kill you, I'm not a person.
Killing Ma Yi Fang is not easy.
In the front of Throne room,
in the Imperial City, there are so many forces.
First, you have to kill all people who are loyal to him.
At that time,
won't you have become a murdering demon too?
Alright. I can wait for you.
Wait for you to learn how to kill
and then finish the transactions between you and me.
I won't deal with you!
Fine! Except me,
who can help you?
There is a person who can.
He will definitely help me.
King of Northern Han
Reporting to your Majesty,
the Crown Prince refuses to return.
He refuses to come back?
Your Majesty,
Lord Xiang and I spent a long time to convince him
but he would not listen.
Spent a great effort convincing him?
Until your lips tore?
But he wouldn't come back?
This point
I do not disbelieve it.
Yan Er,
how does this plant of mine look?
Your Majesty, after your careful pruning,
the bonsai looks impeccable.
Really?
I think so too.
How's that? Here, put it on for me.
Does it look good?
It does.
Not bad, it does look good.
Tell me
what is it regarding this time?
It's about Princess Fu Ya of the Kindom of Chu.
The Crown Prince fell in love with her.
But now the Kingdom of Chu is in a state of civil unrest.
The Princess' whereabouts are unknown.
The Crown Prince is desperately looking for her
that's why he refuses to return.
I must say that the group of you
can only think in a certain way.
You can't even completed such a simple task.
I am dumb, please advise me.
The Prince cannot find the princess and refuses to come home.
Why don't you tell him
the Princess of Chu has already been found by us?
But... but I haven't found her.
I said we've found her. So we've found her.
Go and send him the message.
Tell him that the Princess of Chu
is already in the Palace of Northern Han.
Yes.
The Princess of Chu is in the Palace of Northern Han.
I understand.
Yan Er.
Your servant is here.
Send out my orders.
The Palace is going to throw a wedding banquet.
Yes.
Ye Ye,
I cannot implicate you anymore.
You're already old
but because of me
you were injured badly.
I cannot bear to let you follow me any further.
The road to Northern Han is a perilous one.
Who knows what kind of danger lies on the way there.
With your health in this state, how can you continue to protect me?
Ye Ye,
if this trip to Northern Han
allows me to gain the help of the crown prince
and reestablish the Kingdom of Chu,
then I will bring you back into the palace
to live your retirement years in comfort.
But if I fail, I will meet my parents
and from heaven
I will definitely watch over you.
Lord Jin,
you promised me that you'll find the Princess.
What's the situation now?
Your Highness, the man before you is the Emperor-to-be of Chu.
He's no longer the old Lord Jin.
Please be mindful of your manners.
The Emperor of Chu?
How awe-inspiring.
Unfortunately, to me,
you're only an interloper who killed his brother and stole his throne.
Listen up!
However, you want to handle the Chu Kingdom
I don't care.
But if you dare to harm the person that I want,
I will not let the issue rest.
