Episode 14
So everything
was deliberately set up by you.
As I said,
how did I come to meet such a strange person?
Very good.
Fu Ya, our plans should end now.
You are now free.
I only want you to live.
No matter if you are
a cruel and cold-blooded devil,
I only want you to live.
I am tired, all these must end.
Qi You, Qi You, Qi You!
Wake up!
Older brother, please help, older brother!
Yun Zhu,
Pan Yu originally
followed the Eldest Prince and headed out of the city.
They were always on the same side.
Maybe they deliberately didn't want to return,
you don't need to be so impatient.
So you're saying it's deliberate?
Will they elope . . .
Don't say it this loud!
I really don't understand
how you managed to grow up in the Palace.
Why?
The First Prince always protected me
the first prnce was so good to me
he shared all his delicious food with me.
You only care about food.
Do you know how to do anything but eat?
What?
I always get hungry.
From the day when our family went into ruins
I was the only one lucky to escape all this,
but I ended up homeless.
If it wasn't for the Prince
who brought me back to the palace
and gave me food to eat,
perhaps earlier I would have died.
The Prince and Mei mei (little sister)
are like my biological family.
I had been wondering why my eyelids
were blinking non-stop.
Something bad must be happening.
Brother, promise me
you will look for them.
Look for them brother.
If you don't want to go
the Prince will die
and I can't continue living either.
Okay, okay.
Okay Okay, I will send a search party
that's all you want, right?
Oh my dear precious sweetheart . . .
You must find them.
Yun Zhu, who was that?
What's with you, you are crying?
That person is the head of the palace guards, Han Mi.
I want him to go look . . .
Look for what?
How come you can influence the head of the palace guards?
I'll tell you
I reckon he looks very handsome
and gives off an air of power . . .
Are you two not a pair?
You are a pair! You . . .
no we are not!!!
Me and him a pair?
No, we're not!
Ok ok ok, I understand
What you are meaning to say is
you like him.
Right?
Who said that?
I just like only the first Prince!
First Prince . . .
Hua Ye Ye.
The first Prince and my little sister
they haven't eloped, have they?
Don't speak nonsense.
I"m just asking!
Even asking is not okay.
I am telling you now, you can't say anything
that involves the two of them
you can't say a word
even to people you know well,
this includes
that head of the palace guard.
If you say a single word
you will send the both of them to death.
Do you know?
Why are you looking like this?
Don't tell me, you already blabbed about it.
You did, didn't you?
No I didn't, I didn't!
No you can't, you can't!
I didn't.
I'm just scared
that something happened to the Prince and mei'mei.
Okay okay-ah. Don't worry.
You have the skill, come here.
I'm not scared, come on, kill!
Qi You, wake up.
Qi You wake up.
Mother, Mother, I am You 'er, Mother
Why don't you want You 'er?
Why? Mother. . .
Qi You Qi You Wake up
Qi You Wake up.
You are finally up. Don't worry.
Tell me how much time do I have left?
Say it.
An hour.
It's enough.
I Meng Qi You, this is the end of this life.
To be together with the person I love the most
to exist together and to guard our sincerity together.
All that I ask is that
you must continue living.
Must continue living for me.
Don't leave me.
You said that together we would
face our problems.
Don't leave me to be alone.
This is an anti-poison pill.
Don't be afraid, you will not die.
I will save you.
What did you give me to take?
I can't move at all.
I can't move.
What are you doing?
What do you want to do? Fu Ya . . .
Master and the medical books said
this poison has no cure.
Because they don't know
the world has a doctor
who is willing to sacrifice her own life
to save the patient.
No, don't Fu Ya . . .
Don't do this, don't don't.
Don't be mad, Qi You.
This is the very last time
that I don't listen to you.
I greatly regret . . .
I regret
that before I didn't treat you well at all
and always fought with you.
But I'm also very happy
because in the end
I can still save you.
No No No No No
Qi You,
promise me
you'll continue living well.
Live life a little happier
I don't want you to be sad again.
Help me find back my little brother and
avenge my father emperor . . .
Fu Ya, Fu Ya NO!!!
Fu Ya . . .
Emperor please issue an Imperial decree immediately.
Send more men
to search and come back with maiden Pan Yu.
Yes, your majesty
It's this late Pan Yu has not returned to the Gong Palace.
Definitely met with a mishap.
I ask that your majesty dispatch more troops to look for her okay?
The matter should not be delayed.
Strange.
You two are always
agreeing with the appearance of unity, but are divided at heart,
opposing each other with equal harshness.
What is this about?
Just for one little maiden
to actually become as close as sisters
having similar energy to connect with each other.
As I am in charge of the various sectors of the palace,
the palace family was plundered by a scoundrel.
How can I ignore this?
Furthermore, human life is beyond value.
We should not easily give up.
Empress indeed comes from a great family.
Your spoken words are full of exquisite wording like gems.
To permit people to refute not.
Trust not.
As the saying goes to adhere to the principles of truth and right is to be sincere from within and the outside.
Heart's honesty
is most important.
Not like some people
only can use mouth to scold.
How about oneself ...what way is kindhearted
If to permit, Buddha understands.
Also can place blame.
Nevertheless my Yu He can speak.
Yu He
You and Pan Yu are neither relative or kin
you saved her.
Are you sincere from inside and outside?
Your Majesty, there is no need to joke with Yu He.
Pan Yu is a miracle worker.
If not for her miraculous hands and kind heart
I'm afraid I . . .
would have been harmed by others
and died of poisoning.
Now that my benefector is in trouble
how can I not be.
I am worried as if burned.
My beloved Imperial concubine is so conscientous.
And Imperial Empress, what about you?
You want to save Pan Yu
as a display of conscience also?
I answer your Majesty,
I want to save Pan Yu
not because of my conscientiousness
but because of selfish reasons.
When I speak before Your Majesty
my speech have always been direct.
Not like some people
who hide evil agendas through honeyed words
and make oblique accusations.
I want to save Pan Yu
is because Pan Yu
is Xing-er's chosen Royal consort-to-be.
Didn't Xing-er choose
your niece, Du Wan,
to be the Royal consort-to-be?
For a matter as important as marriage,
I have followed Xing-er's wish
for his own choice.
Xing-er's feelings for this lady
is very deep.
If something bad happens to Pan Yu
If something bad happens to Pan Yu,
how can I, as his mother
have peace of mind.
The Empress is indeed a loving mother.
However, Qi You is also missing
is the Empress not concern about that?
Emperor, you don't need to ask any more
or is that you haven't heard what
Empress sister just said?
She only has selfish reasons
and no conscience.
How pitiable are those on earth who are parents.
Yes, I really have a hard life
producing two heirs for the Emperor
and still blamed for not having a conscience.
Unlike little sister here who lead a good life
without sons to enter the line of succession.
Not giving the Emperor an heir to perform the birth ritual for.
So of course, compared to me, you've less to worry about.
Elder sister indeed has dearly loved the Crown Prince
but don't forget
First prince is also your son.
When has it become your business
to meddle into my family affairs.
Go birth a son and mind him.
You!
Qi You has always been well versed martial arts
how can there be any mishaps.
The most important thing now
is to quickly find Pan Yu.
Please, your majesty
dispatch Imperial troops to aid in the search.
Empress,
the Imperial guards and protectors are the
military force specifically based to protect the palace.
How can I mobilise them on a search just on your wishes?
But...
Emperor.
Reporting to the Emperor,
without your Imperial order, commander Han has
secretly mobilised the Imperial guards out of the
palace grounds to search for the missing persons.
Emperor,
Han Ming definitely must have...
An insignificant maiden,
with so many people who are concerned about her well-being.
I must meet this person later.
Otherwise, I'll remain unknowing
of where exactly she's so sacred.
Emp...
Qi You, did we both die?
Yes, we are both dead.
We are souls without masters.
You lied to me, we are both alive.
This is really great.
I did not lie to you.
We both had died once
but now, we are both alive again.
This place is...?
This is a pity bequeathed from the Heavens.
The blood and sweat I had expended a few years ago
never went to waste in the end.
You hid the Dragon Saliva pill here?
Can't imagine
this life saving medicine
eventually save
the person I loved most.
What are you smiling at?
Someone,
has finally admitted
I am the person he loves the most.
Before
in order to be the crown prince, I've cause you harm.
Sorry.
There's no need to say things which put a divide between us.
To be able to be together
with everyone still alive
is already enough.
That's not right.
You were severely poisoned
how did you get the strength to bring me here.
Also, I was also severely poisoned.
There is no way
I can last till now.
Therefore, one can say
it's because you're a good person, you get rewarded
did you forget?
You'd ever rescued
Zhou dynasty's Emperor, Chai Rong's adopted brother?
Chai Rong's adopted brother?
At the time you were in a state of unconsciouness.
I remembered
this Dragon Saliva pill that could perhaps save you.
I was focused on carrying you throughout the journey.
It was him who ordered the military doctor
to first administer drugs to buy you more time.
He especially spent the night hurrynig and protecting us
so that we can get to Xiang Shi Lake.
What's his name?
Zhao Kuang Yin.
Zhao Kuang Yin?
I'm not familiar with anyone named Zhao Kuang Yin.
He said to me
if I bring up his name as Little Kuon, Xiao Kuon Zhi
then you will recall.
Xiao Kuon Zhi
Kuon Zhi Younger Brother, oh where is he now?
He has unfinished business in army
he couldn't stay till you woke up
and he had to leave.
When he left
he was a young boy still.
And now the young boy has transformed into this amazing general.
And he also recommended to me
if
you ever get into trouble
you can go to the Zhou Guo (Country of Zhou) to ask for his help.
He will always lend a hand.
What a young general
he must be admired.
No matter how admirbale he has become
you remain as his older sister.
He still need to call me as his jie fu (older sister's husband).
What jie fu?
I am his jie fu.
You are taking advantage of me.
Heaven above,
worshipper Su Yao's adopted sister, Pan Yu,
went missing a day ago from the hunting ground in the West
and is yet to return.
If sister Yu could be blessed with
Heavenly father's pity and return safely.
Su Yao will be willing to devote myself to vegetarianism,
as thanks to the Heavens.
Little sister Yu must
come back safely.
Pan Yu
how do you know will come back.
Little sister Yu returned?
Where is she?
Why haven't I seen her?
You asking me?
I haven't seen her either.
It's not like I have a third eye.
The ghost of Pan Yu,
how would I have the means to see?
You can ask me, I have the gift of a third eye.
I can
see sister Pan's ghost
eating the sacrificial offerings you've laid out for her.
Nonsense!
Who's speaking nonsense?
Look look
Shouldn't we
allow her to eat some more?
Lest on her journey to the netherworld
after this meal,
there won't be another to follow.
Sister, could you tell us if Pan Yu
has any words to Su Yao
she'd like to impart?
She's saying, sister Yao
how about burning plenty of paper money to me?
So that I may find an appropriate suitor in the underworld
and not let our
deep sisterhood be in vain.
You're all crossing the line!
Little sister Yu will definitely return
She will definitely return safely!
If she returns safely then
we won't be safe.
That damned-vixen
seduces men everywhere.
The Crown Prince is young and naive.
Now even second prince too.
I also what?
Greetings second prince.
Second Prince Little sister Yu, she . . .
She will be fine.
Come, together we will
pray to God to bless her with good fortune.
It's so beautiful here.
With you accompanying me no matter where,
even on the road to the netherworld,
the scenery would be just as beautiful.
You musn't speak of whatever road to the netherworld.
The rest of our life together
still has a long way to go.
Yes, there's still a long way to go.In this world,
there is finally someone
who treats me with a sincere heart.
So how could I not appreciate this?
I truly wish we could stay and spend life here,
no longer having to compete with the rest of the world.
As long as you are willing
I'm ready to
to remain with you right in this place.
I'll no longer be any Prince
and you'll longer be any Princess.
We'll spend the rest of our days as common people.
We'll never again have to encounter those people who plot and scheme.
Alright?
Us two will raise a whole group of babies.
Let's also farm chickens and ducks,
how good would that be?
Having a few children,
farming some chickens and ducks.
This kind of life sounds wonderful.
But too bad we cannot, just like that,
dubiously turn our backs on our homelands.
At the very least we need to explain ourselves to Qi Xing.
Otherwise, we'll never be able to apologise enough to him.
The one who owes him an apology should be me.
It's only because of me that
we're caught in this predicament.
Right, we should return
but you have to promise me two things
the first thing is
regarding your Imperial Father's revenge
this situation
is your problem and is also my problem.
I'll shoulder this burden for you.
But . . .
There is no "but"
The second thing is
after we return to the Palace
we will explain to Qi Xing together.
Afterwards, you can leave the palace
and I will stay behind and do the rest.
Can you do it by yourself?
What's the matter? Don't you believe in me?
Believe
It's just having to leave this Xiang Si lake.
I really can't bear to go.
Indeed,
it's too beautiful here
but also too uncommon.
Oh right, once we have reinstated your Kingdom
we'll definitely be ordinary people
living peaceful
and moreover happy lives.
Alright?
I believe we can definitely
do it.
Crown Prince,
we have waited three days three nights . . .
You want... Don't you meddle
I want to wait here
for sister Yu to come back
Quick! Look!
Is that not our lady?
And also the first Prince.
Look!! Where... Where...
Sister Yu... Sister Yu...
Ya-Ya!
1st Prince!!
Quick, quick, lets go down.
Ya Ya Ye Ye
You'd caused us much anxiety.
Little Sister, what you don't know,
during the days that you were missing
I forgot to drink and to eat meals!
I only ate a mere three meals a day.
Sister Yu
What actually happened?
I accidentally fell into a valley
fortunately, 1st Prince saved me.
Otherwise, forget saying that I'd be able to return.
Perhaps that valley would've long since been my final resting place.
It looks like we must express our gratitude to big brother.
Eh, this cat with nine lives
has come back alive.
That's right.
The Empress and Han Zhao Yi
even hold her at such high esteem.
Gift her with so many things.
Feeding a pig wouldn't even need that many things.
Hey, why don't we go take a look
Maybe we'll get some of it.
You all go and get your share.
But be careful you're not getting a share of poison.
Good point.
These two concubines,
who knows what's peace of mind to them.
I say it's probably best if we don't go.
So much food
how can I finish it by myself.
You are not by yourself
there's still me and I can finish them all by myself.
Yo! You still want to eat?
Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death.
I was afaid before
but I'm not afraid now
Afterall, there's Hua Ye Ye's internal energy
and little sister's medical skill.
Even with extra arsenic,
I won't be afraid.
Complete nonsense, what arsenic?
This is Niang Niang's
special awardment of the highest quality tonic.
Miss, perhaps you could eat it quickly
so that I may
hurry back and report to the Empress.
Agree, Han Niang Niang
is also waiting your servant's return and report.
These...
OK, OK
You both just say Lady Pan
has finish all the food.
Both of you are dismissed... dismissed
Leave...
Yes.
Quickly!
Sister Yun
We can discuss our matters now, right?
What matter?
Our marriage...
This... this is a bit rush.
You . . .
Don't you have to discuss with your older brother?
What has this matter to do with older brother?
It's fine for us to make the decisions ourselves.
Sister Yun
Why is it whenever the subject of the wedding comes up
you seem to be delaying.
What are you afraid of?
Please clarify with me.
I'm afraid you will regret.
I'm not suited to you.
I'm afraid you love the wrong person.
Oh, it's because of this...
Sister Yu, Sister Yu, don't worry
In this life, other than you
I will not love another person.
So how can I love the wrong person?
This is not what I meant.
Then, what's your meaning?
Ok, Ok
Crown Prince
prior to our family mistress' marriage,
her feelings are bound to be not free of anxiety.
It's as if she was a little rabbit
unavoidably worried and scared.
These kinds of feelings
you guys won't understand.
Then how come you can understand?
Have you marry (as a female) before?
I marry..
Die, die... you see you...
Crown Prince
You really know how to blurt out someone's weaknesses.
Actually you're right
marriage affairs should be arranged by someone
big brother always treats me the best,
I'll go discuss it with him now.
Don't go!
You're the one who wanted me to go.
You're also the one who doesn't want me to go.
You tell me if I should go or not.
Your big brother just returned
he must be exhausted.
Let him rest.
Yeah.
Big brother has just come home
but also no one asked him whether he is alright.
I should go check on him for a bit.
Crown Prince
Is Yu mei mei alright?
She's fine.
I think there is something but you don't want to say.
What did you say?
Brother Xing,
luckily I am also your cousin.
Even if I never get the chance to be Royal consort
I still do not hope to see
brother Xing be played by others.
Put on the green hat and be the frog (watch your wife cheat on you)
What falsities are you spouting?!
Where is it false?
What is it? She can do it but I can't speak of it?
A man and woman alone in the wilderness for three days and three nights,
could nothing really have happened?
Fine, even if there is nothing
can you stop everyone's opinion?
If you marry this kind of
woman with a bad reputation,
your prestige as Crown Prince will be...
Enough! Let me tell you
and the rest of you all listen up.
From now on, whoever dares again to speak ill of sister Yu...
I will have your head chopped off!
Crown Prince is really upset
It's good that he is angry.
If he really is angry, then what I just said
has set into his mind.
Wow Wan Jie Jie you are so insidious.
What are you saying?
No no I'm saying you're so resourceful
Resourceful
Big Brother
Brother, why have you come?
I came to thank you, Big Brother
for helping take care of Yu Jie Jie.
Fine, actually, it's good that you came
Big Brother has something to talk to you about.
It has to do with Yu Jie Jie
Big brother is thinking the same thing as me
I, also, have something to discuss with Big Brother.
It, also, has to do with Yu Jie Jie.
Those women are saying that
when Big Brother was with Yu Jie Jie
for three days and three nights
you are both single man and woman.
They also said . . .
Do you believe it?
I don't believe. I just believe Big Brother
Regardless of what others say
your Yu Jie Jie and I
treated each other with due respect all along.
We absolutely did not act in any improper way.
However...
Enough!
Hearing big brother say this is enough.
I believe big brother
Although I believe big brother,
people still talk.
For Big brother and Yu Jie Jie's dignity
in the future, you two should meet less.
Both you and I can't find a good time to talk to him.
But if we don't explain this properly
it will complicate further.
I understand
But this time we left together
and return together.
He's easily influenced by others.
And there's a growing seed of doubt in his heart.
If we honestly tell him
we can't get through to him
it would only hurt him more.
Then...what do we do?
Leave, you leave.
Leave.
Correct.
We don't know how long we can continue delaying this.
Right now all you can do is burn the bridges and keep moving forward.
Cut yourself free from this mess,
so as to avoid losing sleep over it.
Then what about you?
I will continue to stay in the palace
and deal with this.
Fu Ya, either way
I cannot let you suffer anymore.
Wait until all this is over
I will eventually return to your side.
This is a good solution.
Meng Qi You has not been killed
how can you still have the dignity to face me?
Impossible
.The poison I used cannot be cured by anyone
First Prince returned to the Palace safely.
What more can you say?
What's that suppose to mean?
A job not done doesn't need payment.
We are only partners.
In this world, no one is worthy of being my master.
Who is the one who cured this poison?
I will go investigate this myself.
Niang Niang we found the person you were looking for.
Where are they?
Come in
Your highness
This is...
My senior classmate,
The previous Chu Kingdom's general Yi Bing.
Don't worry.
Since you are my brother's senior
you won't be turned awayif you're seeking asylum.
I will do my best to help youfind employment at this palace.
You absolutely won't be mistreated.
Thank you your highness
However, this servant of an exiled Kingdom
isn't here to seek food and clothing
but rather I have a different matter to request.
If your Highness were able to ensure this person's safety,
Yi Bing would forever be at your service
however you see fit to order around.
Who is this person who is so important?
Yun Zhu, after we're gone,
you have to be more careful, don't eat too much
if you are poisoned no one can save you.
I'm not afraid
but I would rather be poisoned everyday
then never see Mei Mei again.
Don't be like this, if you are like this than how can we
leave peacefully?
That's right
Alright
if don't leave now, we'll be discovered.
Don't cry anymore.
Young lady, leaving without saying goodbye?How heartless.
So early in the morning
where are you rushing off too?
Today is Pan Yu's mother's death anniversary
she wanted to leave early to pray at the temple.
First Prince is unafraid of rumors and slanders.
With your future sister-in-law, so early in the morning,
to help attend to her.
The brotherly love
you show Qi Xing
makes me feel truly touched.
Niang niang
it was me who suddenly wanted to leave the palace
so I asked the first prince to accompany me.
So please excuse Pan Yu
Please get up quickly miss.
The last generation of the exiled Chu Kingdomare completely lacking in principles.
But I don't blame young ladyfor not forgetting your dead relatives.
Pan Yu does not understand
what Niang Niang is saying
It doesn't matter what disguise a phoenix is wearing,
it won't become a convincing chicken.
Isn't that right Princess Fu Ya.
Very surprising, isn't it?
Don't think that just because I stay in the inner palace
that I don't know what's going on.
Even the deepest secrets
I can dig up.
Did you arrange for people by my side
First Prince, you were dismissed a long time ago.
Why would I use so much effort to deal with you?
What exactly do you want to do?
Let the guest stay.
I wasn't a guest in the first place
I am free to come and go as I please.
Niang Niang needn't waste her effort on me
Princess has all along suffered the pain of missing your relatives.
I've helped you find an old friendbut now you want to leave?
Old friend? Who are you referring to?
Fu Ya . . .
Mother, mother!
Mother, mother
Mother, you didn't die.
I finally found you.
Mother, I missed you so much
I thought I would never see you again.
If it wasn't for restoring the kingdom
I would've long went to look for you and father.
Daughter
If mother really died
you still musn't commit suicide.
If you really came to the nether world to find me,
I would consider you unfilial.
Thank goodness, mother is fine.
I didn't do anything stupid.
Mother
That day
I clearly saw you lying in the fire
how did you escape?
Originally, I too believed I'd lose my life in the fire.
But who would have thought, the world works in strange ways.
Niang'niang Niang'niang Niang'niang
Niang'niang
Come, let's go!
So it was General Yi who saved mother.
General Yi saved me in time
so I can live to this day.
Afterwards, Ma Yi Fang issued a load of warrants
everywhere, demanding your arrest.
Which is how I knew
that you had managed to flee from our palace.
At that time, I wanted to go search for you
and my real identity was nearly exposed.
if it wasn't for General Yi
who always protected me
us mother and daughter
would never be able to meet.
Commander Yi is whole-hearted loyal.
Please accept Fu Ya's bow.
Princess, that's impermissible.
Yi Bing can't accept such an honor.
Commander Yi,
let Fu Ya kowtow to youChu Kingdom owes you this.
Your Highness, please save such words.
They terrify me.
Get up quickly.
Then general Yi,
where did you keep my mother all this time?
