Episode 24
My enemy raped and killed my sister
He killed all my family
l'm all alone now
What a villain your enemy is
Did you get your revenge?
My enemies are powerful
l'm not sure if l can get revenge
l have almost recovered
l can't repay you your kindness
l...will give you 2 bottles of venom
Put it on your weapon. Attack your enemies with it
Thank you
Can l help you get your revenge?
l'm grateful to you for giving me the venom
My enemies are heinous but they are kung fu masters
How can l let you risk your life?
lf anything happens to you,
l will be condemned by history
Will you come to see me after taking your revenge?
l will come if l'm still alive. Even if l have to crawl
But...
But what?
l'm afraid l won't survive
But l must avenge my parents' death
l will protect you even if l died
lf you are not afraid of me,
my ghost will come back
and thank you
You...
l need a weapon to get my revenge
l hear there is a good sword in Emei
l will steal it first
But l don't know if it exists
l don't know if l can steal it even if it does exist
l couldn't think straight
l just wanted to be with him
l would risk my life for him
l could die for him
l was bewitched
There is a keen-edged sword
lt can break any weapons
Really? Where is it?
Snake sword is 5 Poisons' heirloom
lt is one of our 3 gems
lt is hidden in Poisonous Dragon Cave, Dali county
One of our five stations
The cave is closely guarded
What can l say?
You gave me a new lease of life
l can't thank you enough
Snake sword is your sect's treasure
lf l take it,
you will be involved when they find out
You will be punished
We can never do this
lf...l lend it to you,
you will return it after getting your revenge
Then l will put it back secretly
lf it is not a long time,
no one will find out
l don't know what was wrong with me
How could l do something so insane?
l stole my brother's sign
and went to Poisonous Dragon Cave
The guards saw him, me and the sign
They let us go into the cave
How could you go into the cave dressed?
Of course l couldn't
Why couldn't she go into the cave dressed?
Because there are thousands of poisonous snakes in the cave
lf an inch of your skin is not covered in medicine
You will die within 3 steps when a snake bites you
5 Poisons really are...
Really are what?
That is the only way to go into the cave
We undressed and put medicine on each other
A young naked couple
Nothing good could have happened
l had fallen in love with him
l gave myself to him
You two were shameless
Yi's girls are not like Chinese girls
We don't have a lot of worthless rules
He took all 3 gems when he saw them
l knew l was in big trouble
l insisted that he put Snake awl and the map back
He didn't answer me
He just looked at me and smiled
He hugged me suddenly
He said he would return them after getting his revenge
l was moved. l didn't say anything
l hadn't heard from him for 2 years
Dean became suspicious
He found out 3 gems were lost
He asked me to punish myself
l ended up like this
Why did your look relate to it?
My dad was our Dean then
Though she was his sister,
he couldn't favor her
So aunt followed our sect's rule
She went into Poisonous Dragon Cave and was bitten by thousands of snakes
She ended up like this
l am very sorry
l insulted you because l didn't know
She became a beggar after she had recovered
According to our rules,
felons have to earn their living as beggars for 30 years
They can't steal a coin or any food
They can't accept donations
lf my dad did cause you so many sufferings,
l apologize to you for him
l was bitten by snakes. My face was disfigured
l was a beggar for 30 years
l deserve it
l took him to Poisonous Dragon Cave. l knew what would happen
lt was not his fault
He let me down because he was unfaithful
Dean...
Guard Qi, what is it?
Official Cao sent us words
He advanced the date of the great cause. We must go there now
Aunt, official Cao sent for us. lt is important
Are you alright?
Green, let's go back
Weren't you comfortable under the bed? Why do you want to rush off?
Go back and we will talk
Go back?
You have a new girl now. Why do you want me to go back?
You...
Miss Greeny
Stop the nonsense
Nonsense? l love nonsense
Everybody deserves to die...
Your Majesty
l am ruined by courtiers...
Will l be the king of a conquered nation?
Don't be angry, Your Majesty...
Take care of yourself
Don't be angry, Your Majesty...
As the saying goes, enjoy a moment's leisure
You haven't visited the beauty whom Tian Hongyu gave you
Cao Huachun, what is your intention?
Why did you make that kind of suggestion?
lt is loyal to laugh and cry with His Majesty
lt is loyal to share His Majesty's worries
Enough...Stop arguing
Cao means well, though it is untimely
l would have forgotten her if you hadn't reminded me
The beauty excels in music, chess, calligraphy and painting
That's why Tian gave her to you. He wanted to please you
Now he wants to please me
When l asked the royal family to lend me troops' pay,
they gave me excuses but no money
My father in law, Zhou Kui,
he only donated 1 0,000 taels of silver
He came to tell me how poor he was
l remember you donated 50,000 taels, didn't you?
lt is my duty to share your worries
Your Majesty, the beauty is...
We are not in times of peace
l may not be able to keep my throne
Don't say anything unauspicious
Will it go away if l don't talk about it
Time is not kind to girls. Let her leave the palace
Yes. But isn't it a shame that
you let her leave like that?
Official Cao
Once His Majesty expelled the first beauty Chen Yuanyuan from the palace
This beauty is nothing
Enough. You may go now
Yes Yes
Can you be the match-maker of senior Luo and me?
Wany, what did you say?
Are you serious?
Of course l am serious
Senior always likes me
He is shy to talk about it
Great, congratulations
Why don't you congratulate Miss Jiao, Yuan?
lf master Jiao in heaven knows that
you have a good husband, he will be happy
l was rude to you
No offence
None taken
lt's not the time to chat
We will talk after we leave the palace
Miss Jiao, Cao gave me this sign
Take it. You and Green leave here
and meet Luo
Remember to be careful
What about you?
Cao has a villainous plot. l must stay
Don't worry about me
You must be careful
He Hongyao is coming. Go now. l will distract her
Disguise yourself as an eunuch
Go now
Yuan
Green, go
Yuan Chengzhi
Aunt, what happened?
Xia Greeny was saved by Yuan
Did you collude with him and let her go?
What?
You think l don't know young girls' heart
You...
Guards
Dean
Split up and chase them
Yes
Have you found them?
No No
Over here No
Go this way. Hurry
Search thoroughly
Your Highness, His Majesty isn't angry with you
Don't get upset
Have some rest
Dew, l'm fretful. You may go now
Yes
Didn't l ask you to burn it
Why is it still here?
Please forgive me
l know the man in the painting
is always on your mind
You miss him everyday
You have no appetite
so l keep the painting
When you think of him,
you can look at him to ease your yearning
Since he is in the palace,
why don't we find him?
Maybe you can rekindle the old flame
Enough, stop it
Who is it?
lt's a surprise this is your chamber
Please wait
Officer An, l want to see the king
Step aside
Your Highness, the king said he was tired
Please go back
The king is tired
He is assiduous
l think he is made of steel
Your Highness, you...
Our country is in danger
l have a plan to save it
He still won't see me?
Your Highness, the king gave me an order
Please don't make thing hard for me
lt is vital to our country
l must see the king even if l have to use force
lf the king punishes you,
l will take the responsibility
l am doing my duty. Please forgive me
An Jianqing
Protect His Majesty
Stop it
You want to defy your superior
Put down your sword
Official Cao, l didn't mean to defy my superiors
The king doesn't want to see Prince Hui
or else l dare not offend His Highness
You are commanding
You have the nerve to threaten me with weapons
Your entourage came to the palace armed
l am on duty. l must be cautious
Officer An, what time is it?
Li Zicheng is attacking Ningwu Gate
Do you know this is the critical time?
Prince Hui has important things to report to the king
lt affects the safety of our country
lt was an oversight. Time is pressing
l will take full responsibility
Your Highness, please go in
Wait
His Highness' entourage can go in
People in kung fu world stay
Fine. You wait outside
l will go in with them
Let's go
Dean, we found some movement in the princess' room
l wonder if the minx is hiding inside
Search the room
But we can't go into the princess' room
Official Cao,
my fellows saw somebody sneak into the princess' room
For the princess' safety, they wanted to search her room
But she was infuriated. We couldn't go inside
Princess Nine knows kung fu and has friends in kung fu world
She didn't ask them to help, did she?
We must find out the truth
Let's go
Guards
Keep watch here
l will protect His Majesty
Boss Cheng said the truth. You are a princess
You are heartless
Look, Her Highness paints you everyday
She has no appetite. She has been waiting for you
You came at long last
But you didn't ask after her
You stand here like you are in a trance
Dew
Go away
Yes
Your Highness
Don't call me that
l remember when we first met
You called me Nine
Can you call me Nine now?
l want to be Nine to you
Your Highness
Did you come to kill my father?
l must tell you something
My father is a good man
though he is not a good king
l'm sad that he can't do his duty
You should talk to him
Ask him to feed and clothe the people. Then the country will be at peace
l wish he had listened to me
He wouldn't have been deceived by courtiers
Thank you
Sorry to have troubled you. Goodbye
Search thoroughly. Surround the place
Have you found him? Go this way
What's wrong?
5 Poisons' fellows disguised themselves as eunuchs
What? 5 Poisons?
Official Cao, he is inside
There is no hiding place. l have an idea
Your Highness...Official Cao is searching for the assassin
Official Cao, it's late
Why did you take so many guards here?
The king heard that an assassin got in
He asked me to ask after you
Thank you. l'm fine. You may go now
For the sake of your safety
let me look around
l'm fine. l want to go to sleep. You may go back now
The king will be relieved that you are safe
l will report to the king
Thank you
Goodbye
What a handsome man. He must be your loved one
Who are you? The princess is sleeping
Go away
l will go now
Did you find anything?
No
Your Highness, they have left
l will keep watch for you
Your Highness, sorry to have offended you. Goodbye
l almost forgot to tell you something
What is it?
Traitor Cao colluded with Qing's Prince Duoergun
He wanted to borrow their troops to attack Rush's army
He did?
They will enthrone Prince Hui if the king refuses
Prince Hui thinks himself brilliant
He will borrow troops to quell the revolt
They will probably do it tonight
Tonight?
We must tell my father now
He is trapped by traitors
We must rush there now
How dare you trespass on the palace
l am the princess. Who can stop me?
Your Highness
Father
Why did you come? Go out now
Your Highness, what should we do?
Father Go out
l won't
Rush's army captured Tong Gate
Taiyuan and Ningwu are going to fall
They will arrive soon
Why don't you want to borrow troops?
You want to give our country to Rush, don't you?
Your Highness, don't be rude to His Majesty
Rude?
What a joke
He is going to ruin our country
The Zhus can't let him do this
Tell me your decision now
Our country is in chaos because l'm incompetent
Our country will be captured if Rush's troops come
Our country will fall if we borrow Qing's army
l should have died for our country
but our country will be captured by others
Father
Abdicate and give the crown to better men
Do you want to kill me and usurp the throne?
What do you want?
Everyone wants to kill the stupid tyrant
Mr Yuan...
Your father's killer is right here
Our deal is still on if you help me now
Why did you come?
To rub salt into our wounds?
