[The Female Assassins in the Palace]
[Episode 39]
Your Highness, how could you bear to leave us?
Father, E-Erduo, don't worry.
I will avenge you.
Just wait.
Forgive me for saying this.
Your Highness, even though His Highness passed away
please take care of your health.
Yes, Your Highness. You must take care of yourself too.
Mother, it's my fault.
It's my fault Father and E-Erduo died.
No, it's Batu's fault.
If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't be like this.
What's worse is
he agreed to the fake marriage
yet he's not being implicated.
While our whole family, as members of the royal family
will all be executed.
Father was right.
Arch Prince Chong is eager for our whole family to die.
Shut up!
What's the use of saying all that now?
Your Father and E-Erduo
may have left ahead of us...
but we will reunite with them soon in the afterlife.
Mother, don't worry.
I'll think of a way
to beg Arch Prince Chong
to withdraw the execution order.
Forget it.
Arch Prince Chong is determined to kill our whole family this time.
We should just resign ourselves to our fate.
Arch Lord Batu.
How dare you come here!
I will kill you today
- and avenge Father and E-Erduo! - Da Er!
Step aside!
He has nothing to do with you anymore.
You don't have to speak for him!
No... I will be the one to avenge Father and E-Erduo.
Your Highness.
It's your fault my father and brother died.
Repay us with your life!
- Caidie! - Your Highness!
You shouldn't be here.
Go! I don't want to see you anymore.
Caidie, I should be with you at a time like this.
I know I am to blame for E-Erduo and Vice Prince's death.
It has nothing to do with you.
Go! If you don't go now
you won't be able to leave when my brother comes out!
You're worried about me?
Nonsense!
I know you care about me.
Otherwise, you wouldn't
have taken sole responsibility for our fake marriage.
Caidie, please believe me.
I will save your whole family.
Our matters have nothing to do with you anymore.
Go! I don't want to see you again.
The next time you show up, I'll take your life.
I'm not scared.
Don't force me.
What's going on?
Wei Tang, you came at the perfect time.
Help me chase him away. I don't want to see him.
I don't want to see him ever again!
Leave it to me.
Caidie!
Arch Lord, Caidie already said that she doesn't want to see you.
Please respect that.
Wei Tang, you're doing this for real?
I always do things for real.
I'm not like you, even faking marriage.
If you were going to do this, you shouldn't have married Caidie!
Then things wouldn't have turned out like this!
Caidie and my matters have nothing to do with you.
No, from now on, Caidie's matters are my matters!
How dare you!
If you insist on doing this right now
don't blame me for what I do to you.
Good! I've always wanted to go head to head with you.
Whoever loses is not allowed to bother Caidie ever again.
Your Highness.
What happened? Did you kill Batu?
He's too good at martial arts.
He ran away.
I know you did this on purpose!
I regret not killing him with my own hands when I had the chance!
Shut up!
Don't you think we have enough on our minds?
How can you still say things like that?
Stop creating trouble!
Since you've agreed to this competition
you should know that the sword doesn't have eyes.
If anything happens
we can't blame one another.
You can't hurt me.
Arch Lord, please show me.
What is it, my lady?
I hear something.
Do you hear it?
I don't hear anything.
Maybe I'm just hearing things.
Wei Tang, let's stop fighting.
If we keep fighting, you'll get hurt.
Stop your nonsense!
Silver locket?
You lose.
According to our agreement
please don't bother Caidie anymore.
Why does he have Kemuer's locket?
Impossible.
Forgive me. I'll take you to see the imperial physician.
No, this is not possible.
How could you...
Accept your defeat.
I don't want to fight anymore.
I will take my leave.
Wei Tang, so... you're my...
brother.
All right.
What is it?
Look.
Su Er, hurry. This man can still be saved.
Let's take him home.
Yes.
Come on.
My lady, he's an arch lord.
So he's Arch Lord Batu.
What? Arch Lord Batu?
Arch Lord Batu is very good at martial arts and has great character.
Others often praise him.
Why would he be in this state?
My lady, should we tell Chief Tie
and have him come take a look?
Chief Tie has been so busy
because of the hairpin killer case.
Let's not alarm him.
When Arch Lord Batu wakes up
we'll plan then.
Yes.
[Death]
[Vice Prince Duoluo Huiwu, E-Erduo]
Your Highness, Your Highness.
Father! Father!
Your Highness, you've been crying all night.
I'm really worried about you.
Go to your room to rest, okay?
No. I need to stay here.
If I go back...
Father and E-Erduo will be very lonely here.
Your Highness, don't let grief overcome you.
Your body won't be able to take it.
Father and E-Erduo died so unjustly.
I can't even avenge them.
Soon I'll be beheaded.
This way, I can reunite with them, right?
Your Highness, it's all my fault.
I shouldn't have had that rotten idea
to have you take sole responsibility.
I should die. I'm so useless.
I'm so useless. I should die.
Don't hit yourself.
I never blamed you.
I know you had good intentions.
I don't blame you.
It's come to this.
It's just that there's something
that I can't understand no matter how much I think about it.
Your Highness, what is it?
I didn't even tell you
about my fake marriage with Batu.
Only one person knew about it.
Who?
Duan Min.
Bang Chui, Duan Min couldn't have exposed us, right?
What? Arch Lord Batu left?
That's right.
That bastard came here yesterday
but we drove him away.
If he dares to come here again
I will kill him myself
and avenge Father and E-Erduo.
Since we're going to be beheaded in a few days anyway
I'll just go for broke.
Where's Caidie?
I want to see her.
Duan Min.
You wanted to see me?
Caidie, I went to Batu's manor just now
but he wasn't there.
I don't know where he is.
Caidie, do you know where he is?
I was worried about you guys
so I asked Father to let me leave the manor
to see you and Batu.
Caidie, what's wrong?
Duan Min.
I want to ask you something.
I hope you'll answer me honestly.
What is it?
Did you tell Father and Mother
about my fake marriage with Batu?
No. Caidie, how could you suspect me?
Why would I do that?
It really wasn't you?
No.
What? It really was Princess Duan Min who exposed them?
Oh no! How could I have let that slip?
Bang Chui, how could you do that to me?
I'm begging you. Don't tell anyone.
Otherwise I'm dead!
How can I keep something like this to myself?
I must tell Caidie! I will go tell her now!
No, no! You can't!
- Let go! What are you doing? - You must not go!
- Come back! - Let go!
Bang Chui, come back!
I'm so dead.
Caidie, why do you always let your imagination run wild?
Why would you suspect me?
Besides, this case isn't over yet.
His Majesty hasn't issued a decree yet.
I think we can still turn this around.
So don't worry too much, okay?
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness!
What are you doing, Bang Chui?
Can't you see that I'm talking to Duan Min?
Your Highness, I just heard from An Zhu
that the person who shared your secret
was Princess Duan Min.
What are you saying?
How could Duan Min have informed them?
It's true.
- An Zhu said it herself. - I...
She said that Princess Duan Min was the one
who told them about your fake marriage with Arch Lord.
When I asked you just now
didn't you solemnly swear that it wasn't you?
What is this?
Please spare me!
I let my mouth run.
I deserve to die.
How dare you!
How dare you tell such lies!
What did you say?
I deserve to die! I deserve to die!
I'm going to kill you!
Leave.
You two, leave.
- But... - Let's go.
Your Highness.
Caidie, they're saying nonsense.
It's not the truth.
You're not going to believe them over me, are you?
An Zhu is your personal maid.
She's always been afraid of you.
If you weren't the one who tattled...
how could she be so bold as to say that?
Duan Min, don't forget
I didn't tell anyone
about my fake marriage with Batu.
Except for you.
There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.
Misunderstanding?
Fine, tell me what the misunderstanding is.
I'm all ears.
All right.
Since it has already gotten to this stage
I'll explain to you.
Do you remember when you told me
that you and Batu had a fake marriage?
You knew that I liked him.
But you kept pretending and pretending until what was fake became real.
So I had no other choice
but to do this to you.
I will kneel before you today.
It was an impulsive moment.
I beg for your forgiveness.
Duan Min, how could you do this to me?
Did you forget how I helped you?
You can't force love.
For Batu
you sacrificed the life of everyone in my whole family!
I really can't believe...
Look at me!
I'm a sister you grew up with!
For Batu
you actually sacrificed the life of everyone in my whole family?
I see you clearly now.
I can't believe that beneath your beautiful exterior
is the heart of a snake and a scorpion.
I can't forgive you.
I never want to see you ever again.
Caidie.
Don't forget.
You were the one who made me a promise
and then broke it first.
That's why I did this.
Besides, I just wanted to ensure my own happiness.
Is that wrong?
Because of your own happiness
you sacrificed the life of everyone in my whole family.
How can you be so selfish?
No, Caidie
I'm begging you.
Since we are sisters
as long as you make a clean break with Batu
Batu will definitely come back to me.
If you promise me that
I'll promise to think of a way to beg Father and Mother
to spare your whole family, okay?
Enough.
In the end, my family will still have to die.
You only think of Batu.
You're abominable.
Caidie!
From now on, we sisters
will each go our separate ways.
Caidie!
You have no other way out!
You have no power to fight with me.
I don't understand
why you won't wish me well
and give me Batu.
I promise
if you can do that
I'll do everything in my power to save your whole family.
Caidie!
Princess Duan Min
your happiness
was in exchange for the life of everyone in my family.
Please remember that.
Caidie!
Your Highness, spare me.
I won't dare to do that again.
It's all because of your big mouth!
You ruined everything.
You've been by my side all these years
but you stabbed me in the back!
No, no! I won't dare to do that again.
Please spare me, Your Highness.
I won't do it again.
If you do
I'll force you out of the manor to survive on your own!
Thank you, Your Highness.
Get up.
Get out.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Duan Min.
Greetings, Mother.
Please rise.
Mother, did something good happen today?
Why are you beaming with joy?
It's something good for you not me.
I'm came here specifically to tell you some good news.
What good news?
It's about Caidie and Batu's fake marriage.
In your Father's name, I asked them to hurry
to send the memorial to His Majesty.
His Majesty has seen it.
What did he say?
To do as your father says.
Batu made up for his mistake with his work, so he is fine.
As for Caidie and the whole Duoluo Huiwu family
they will be punished according to the law.
But... this message was delivered so quickly.
Could there be any mistakes?
No, there's no mistake.
Your father has men by His Majesty's side.
As soon as His Majesty issues his decree
they will give us the news.
The imperial edict will be here in two days.
I haven't seen Batu the past few days.
Where did he go?
My Lady, he's been unconscious for three days.
He's not showing any signs of waking up.
Should we tell someone?
I think it's weird too.
It's been so long. He should have woken up.
- Why hasn't he woken up yet? - Do you still need more?
- Su Er. - Yes?
If he doesn't wake up by tomorrow
go get an imperial physician to look at him.
Okay.
My Lady, it's getting late.
We should go rest.
Let's go.
Get the medicine.
Let's go.
Father always believed that Kemuer would come back one day
so he wanted us to always have our lockets by our side.
He hoped that when Kemuer came back
and the three of us were reunited
we could put the gems back.
Kemuer.
Arch Lord Batu, you're awake.
Who are you?
I'm Qian Er.
This is my personal maid, Su Er.
Where am I?
Why am I here?
We found you on Peach Blossom Trail.
You were unconscious and seriously injured.
So Su Er and I brought you here to my home.
This is the third day.
Three days?
I've been lying here for three days?
Yes.
I wanted to ask an imperial physician to come see you.
Good thing you're awake.
Arch Lord, Arch Lord.
Slowly.
I need to leave.
But your wound hasn't healed yet.
You shouldn't be going anywhere.
Why don't you stay here to recuperate
and leave when your wounds are healed?
I need to go see Caidie.
Arch Lord, you're seriously injured.
Why don't you rest here?
I'll send someone to tell Her Highness.
I have some urgent matters, so I must leave.
Thank you for saving me.
I'll come another time to thank you again.
Goodbye.
Search carefully!
Be especially careful!
Yes!
Father, we've been looking in this area for three days
but we haven't found anything.
Why don't we investigate a different lead?
No.
The hairpin killers are very cunning.
Since they're able to leave the manor from Arch Princess Consort's room
there must be some clues around here somewhere.
How could they not even leave a footprint?
We must not be looking carefully enough.
That's why we haven't found anything.
Wei Tang, be more patient.
Let's continue searching carefully.
Yes.
Your Highness! Your Highness! Good news!
What's the good news that you're being so forthright?
I just heard that His Majesty
has sent Eunuch Chen to deliver his imperial edict.
Arch Prince Chong asked General Chang to accompany him
to the Duoluo Huiwu manor.
Eunuch Chen, you've been traveling for the past few days.
You must be tired.
So Arch Prince Chong asked me
to let you eat first.
After you eat, we can go to the Duoluo Huiwu manor to announce the edict.
Arch Prince Chong is so thoughtful.
I can't thank him enough.
Eunuch Chen, you're too courteous.
You work for His Majesty.
Of course Arch Prince Chong should take care of you.
And this is the best restaurant in the city.
Even Arch Prince Chong praises their food endlessly.
So, please enjoy.
Try some.
Thank you, Arch Prince Chong and General Chang.
I will dig in.
Here.
Mother, Father and E-Erduo are already buried.
You must take care of your body.
Don't collapse.
Yes, Mother.
If Father and E-Erduo are watching over us
they won't want to see you grieving and crying.
I know.
But as soon as I think about your father
and how he abided by the law his whole life
and was aloof about the world
yet in the end
he died like this.
It breaks my heart.
Arch Lord, are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Are you injured?
I need to see Caidie.
- Arch Lord. - I need to see Caidie.
Arch Lord!
He's not ashamed to come back?
I didn't kill him last time.
This time, he came back on his own to die.
Fine. I'll fulfill his wish.
Put the sword down right now!
Mother! You don't hate Batu at all?
Father and E-Erduo died because of him!
I'll kill him
and avenge them both!
Shut up!
At this time?
Don't you know the situation we're in?
If something happens to you
our family line will really end here!
Go to your room now!
You're not allowed to create trouble!
Mother!
Caidie.
Batu.
No.
What are you doing here?
You're not welcome here.
Please leave.
Mother-in-law, Da Er, Caidie
I'm sorry for what I've done.
I didn't think something like this would happen to Father and E-Erduo.
This isn't what I wanted.
I'm sorry.
But no matter what happens in the future
Caidie, I want to stay by your side.
I really want to help you guys.
Caidie, I'm begging you.
Since we are sisters
as long as you make a clean break with Batu
Batu will definitely come back to me.
If you promise me that
I'll promise to think of a way to beg Father and Mother
to spare your whole family, okay?
You really want to help me?
Of course.
Then please leave me.
Leave my side and leave me forever.
Your Highness, don't be like this.
Go away! It's not your place to speak!
Caidie, why are you saying this?
How can you be so heartless?
I'm heartless?
Look at those two over there.
One is my father, the other is my brother.
They both died because of you!
Who's the heartless one?
I'm begging you
please leave. Please leave us!
I don't want to see you again!
Arch Lord Batu, Your Highness, bad news.
Eunuch Chen is here to announce His Majesty's decree.
You need to go hear it.
By the mandate of Heaven, the emperor hereby decrees
Zasake Batu and Aisin-Gioro Caidie
looked down on the emperor's kindness and faked their marriage.
They have deceived the emperor and should be punished by law.
Since Zasake Batu was forced into it
and has helped Arch Prince Chong greatly
he has atoned for his crime with his merits.
As penance, he will lose his salary for a month.
Aisin-Gioro Caidie looked down on the emperor's kindness.
That is an unpardonable crime, and is a disaster for the whole family.
They will be publicly executed tomorrow afternoon
as a warning to others.
How could this happen?
Mother! Mother! You must hold on.
Mother!
That's too much!
This is ridiculous!
Princess Caidie, aren't you going to thank His Majesty and accept the edict?
I thank His Majesty.
Duan Min, you didn't plead to Father and Mother for me.
You've deceived me again.
How could I be so stupid?
Take away Caidie's whole family!
Wait!
General Chang, please don't be so cruel.
Arch Lord, I'm just carrying out imperial orders.
- Take them away. - Yes!
- General Chang! - Get out of the way!
Your Highness!
Arch Lord Batu.
Batu! Batu!
- Your Highness! - Caidie!
Batu, what's wrong?
Your Highness!
Why do you care about him?
It's for the best that he dies!
General Chang, let the family go!
- Batu! - Your Highness!
Batu!
- Your Highness! - Batu!
Take them away!
Why are you putting on a show?
You murderer!
Batu!
Arch Lord, what's wrong?
I'm fine. Think of a way to save Caidie.
Think of a way.
It's too late.
The emperor already made his decree. They will be beheaded tomorrow.
How can we save them?
Hyah!
Arch Lord, your wound is quite serious.
Let's go see the imperial physician.
I'm fine. Caidie's life is more important.
- I must save her. - Hyah!
I need to save Caidie.
Housekeeper Zhang, hurry!
- You must catch up! - Okay!
Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah!
Arch Lord, you love Her Highness so much
and Her Highness took sole responsibility for you.
You two are so in love.
His Majesty doesn't know anything yet made the decree
to have Her Highness beheaded.
This is so unfair.
Don't worry. I will...
I will save Caidie.
If I really can't save her
I'm prepared to die with her.
She doesn't want me around.
It must be because she doesn't want to implicate me.
That's exactly what I think.
If she heard what you're saying now
she would be really touched.
I will save you.
Princess Caidie is in prison?
She's going to be executed tomorrow afternoon?
Is that information reliable?
Of course. The imperial edict was delivered.
How could it be false?
Hyah! Hyah!
Arch Lord, hang in there.
Hang in there.
I'm fine.
Don't worry about me.
Tell Housekeeper Zhang to go faster.
Okay.
Housekeeper Zhang, go faster!
- Okay. - I'm afraid Arch Lord won't make it.
Got it. Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah!
- Arch Lord! - Arch Lord!
Are you okay?
I deserve death.
Don't say anything else.
Are you all right?
Help me up.
Arch Lord, what are you doing?
Arch Lord, you--
You're...
Bang Chui, take this and do as it says.
Hurry.
I understand, but what about your injuries?
Don't worry. Leave him to me.
- Go ahead. - Hurry and go.
Yes.
Arch Lord.
Arch Lord, I'll go then.
- Hurry and go! - Hurry!
Arch Lord.
I hope we make it in time.
This rascal. He's finally here to see me. At least he has a conscience.
Tie Wei Tang, you heartless man!
I thought that you came to see me
since I've been here for so long.
But you came here to see the vixen Caidie?
Have you ever thought about how I would feel?
You've always looked down on my father and me.
Since we're nothing in your eyes
why should I come see you?
I've always done things for your sake
and thought of ways to help you solve the case
yet you don't care if I live or die.
Was your conscience eaten by dogs?
You were helping me solve my case?
You put it so nicely.
But in reality, you did it for yourself.
You're a princess.
How could you be happy about having to marry me, an imperial guard?
You're too much!
How could you think of me that way?
I've been good to you, but I'm getting bad karma.
How could your muddled brain solve any cases?
What a joke!
Just go and be a second-rate imperial guard!
Arch Lord Batu will be the first to solve the case.
You won't even get your chance!
Enough!
Ever since His Majesty bestowed our marriage
on the surface, we're a married couple.
But all this time
if my father hadn't urged me to focus on solving the case
I would've divorced you already!
Listen carefully.
As soon as the hairpin killer case is solved
I will ask His Majesty
to end our marriage.
Your Highnesses, are you both all right?
I know you've suffered
so I wanted to come see you.
Tie Wei Tang, I'm your wife.
Yet you're treating them so well right in front of me.
You're so cruel.
Wei Tang, thank you for coming to see us.
But you shouldn't have said that to Guo Xin.
You two are husband and wife after all.
Guo Xin and I have never gotten along.
If my father wasn't there to mediate
it would've been out of control a long time ago.
Let's not talk about that.
Your Highness, I brought you some food.
Have some.
- Wei Tang, it's okay. - Look.
Mother and I don't want to eat anything.
When we think about how our whole family
will be beheaded tomorrow afternoon...
We really don't have an appetite.
I understand.
Actually...
