My Assassin Girlfriend
Episode 20
Three number five.
Three number eight.
Three number nine.
How come you get three number nine again?
I won again! Awesome!
Great!
Nice move!
You too!
Put the medicine there.
I’ll take it later.
Won again!
Your Majesty! I’ve been looking forward to seeing you!
Yan, I missed you so much!
I don’t think you were so eager to see me.
Your life is quite colorful here!
You are accompanied by two handsome men,
you must have forgotten me!
No one is more important than you!
You are the most important one to me!
I’m Cai Wenguang, an idle man from Song State.
Greetings to Your Majesty!
Nice to meet you, Ms. Yu!
Don’t mind the formalities, Your Highness!
I’ve escorted the prince back to her palace.
You don’t have to worry.
Speaking of shrewdness and thoughtfulness,
my sister has always been better than me.
She’s not to be worried.
Bai He will hold the enthronement soon.
The situation is urgent. Let’s talk on the way.
Yes!
Let’s go.
Xiaozhu, I need to take care of some matters with His Majesty.
I’ll be back soon.
Tell me later
what you have experienced recently.
You are leaving again?
Let’s play card!
Continue!
But it’s just the two of us!
Let’s play “Draw a Tortoise!”
May you long live, Your Majesty!
Hold it!
You…You…
I thought you were dead!
Guards, arrest this fake!
Get him!
Whoever dares to offend the emperor will be killed!
You bunch of crafty sycophants!
How could you break your promise?
Bai He, I received
His Majesty’s secret decree,
so I played along till today.
Just allow yourself to be arrested!
Take them all!
Bai He, you still want to put up a desperate fight?
You were dead!
I wasn’t!
Why are you so disappointed?
Except for me, only the men of sacrifice under Bai He
own this type of throwing darts.
I think we are exposed.
Those men of sacrifice are here to kill me.
They are all desperados.
They won’t stop until they succeed.
I’m afraid I can’t protect you alone.
If Bai He so much wants me to die,
I’ll satisfy him.
Looks like me, huh?
Yu Yan, run!
Do it!
Bai Yinqi!
Officer, are we going to continue?
Put out the fire first.
Yes!
Let’s go!
Take this back to His Royal Highness as soon as possible.
Yes!
Let’s go!
Hope it’ll work.
Bai He, anything else you want to say?
You didn’t care about the court matters.
And you’ve been out of the court for months.
I just followed the rules
and the will of the heaven.
I did nothing wrong!
Officials,
Bai He has been planning to usurp the throne for a long time.
I’ll list the following three crimes you committed
for the officials to make a judgment.
First crime, regicide!
Bai He repeatedly sent assassin to kill me,
but he never succeeded.
He even asked an assassin to dress like the princess of Song State
and tried to kill me on my wedding day.
Fortunately, I escaped but I was badly wounded.
Thanks to the princess of Song State,
I was rescued and survived.
On my way back, he sent his men of sacrifice to kill me,
I managed to escape again with the help
of chivalrous heroes.
Based on the above crime alone,
I can execute you by dismembering you in pieces!
Second crime, creating internal chaos!
After forcing me out of the palace,
Bai He got rid of dissidents, exploited people and imposed burdensome taxes
by abusing the power of regent,
causing troubles in the court and society!
Third crime, outside disorder.
Bai He detained Her Highness of Song State as hostage.
The lives of the people were considered worthless.
He forcefully recruited soldiers,
intending to start a war by stealth.
We’ve got evidence and witnesses of all your crimes.
You are in no position to deny!
Winner takes all.
Don’t make it sound like you are the worthy one!
Bai Yinqi,
you are just like your father.
You are not qualified to be the emperor of a country at all!
To win a place in the world,
a country
must constantly strengthen its power!
Making no progress and satisfying with what you’ve had
will eventually have the country destroyed by other countries.
For the future of our Bai family,
I’d rather kill officials and people,
even kill you!
I don’t regret for what I did!
I don’t feel sorry for our ancestors!
Kill me!
Kill officials!
Kill people!
Bai He,
you still don’t understand
that the peace is not a result of slaughter.
But you have no intention to change your ways,
I don’t want to waste more time on you.
Guards!
Arrest Bai He!
Yes!
May you long live, Your Majesty!
Officials!
With the blessing of the Bais’ ancestors,
we successfully defeated Bai He and his clique.
Hope you will do your best to assist me in the future.
Do the right to the country, and do the right to the people!
May you long live, Your Majesty!
Summon.
Summon Bai Zhu, Tian Xiaoli and Yu Yan!
Greetings to Your Majesty!
Please rise!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
The counter-insurgency was aided by you.
I’ll hereby reward you.
Bai Zhu is appointed as Princess Lvyu.
Tian Xiaoli is promoted from bodyguard and study partner to Lord Protector.
The other officials will all be rewarded!
Yinqi, why do you call me Princess Lvyu?
I don’t like the “forgiveness” color.
Xiaozhu.
Xiaozhu, Lvyu means bamboo.
Since your name is Xiaozhu,
so I entitle you Princess Lvyu.
Oh I see.
Alright then! I’m fine with the green color!
Your Majesty!
I don’t think I’m worthy of the position as Lord Protector.
You are such a coward!
Xiaozhu is right!
Just accept it!
You can always learn and ask if there’s anything you don’t know.
Gratitude to Your Majesty!
Don’t mind the formalities.
Yu Yan protected me.
Your Majesty!
I have something to say.
Go ahead.
I was born outside of the palace and am used to be free.
I have no interest in high positions and money,
neither have I intention to stay in the palace.
But I want a truth!
Return to innocence to our Yu family.
Your Majesty!
You are just a civilian, how dare you to argue with His Majesty?
It’s so inappropriate!
Dear officials,
I just return to the palace and I feel tired.
Let’s call the meeting over today.
Report if there’s anything, or else the meeting is over.
May you long live, Your Majesty!
Yu Yan.
Please stay.
Xiaozhu, let’s go.
Leave us!
May you long live, Your Majesty!
Xiaoli,
why do you think
Yan doesn’t want to stay in the palace?
Is she still angry with Yinqi?
Xiaozhu, this banyan bonsai is over 100 years old!
Great grandfather planed it in person.
The imperial palace
has no difference from Bai He’s Mansion.
Xiaozhu, the plants here are all very precious,
please don’t touch them.
I know why Yan
doesn’t want to stay now!
Nothing is allowed to be touched here!
I’ll go to Yinqi!
I want out!
Xiaozhu!
Let me take you to a place.
I assure you that you don’t want to leave anymore
when you see it!
Is it fun?
Is it better than Comic Expo?
You can hit me if you don’t like it!
Let’s go!
Yan, I won’t stop you from leaving the palace.
But before you go,
could you go to a place with me?
You can decide after you are there.
How long still?
Soon!
Can I open my eyes?
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
How amazing! What’s this place?
This is His Majesty’s secret room.
Wonderful!
Feels as if we time traveled to a museum!
How could it be possible?!
These were all made
according to great grandfather’s time traveled journal.
But I have no idea
how great grandfather learned these.
Unfortunately, this place is in the palace,
and a secret room that belongs to Yinqi,
I can’t bring Cai Wenguang here.
What a pity!
Why do you mention him?
When I see Cai Wenguang next time,
I’ll bring that phonograph to him
and play a song!
He must have never heard any before!
So magical!
Xiaoli, how did you do that?
You are like Thor!
Actually, I’ve been His Majesty’s study partner,
taking care of his daily life,
and accompanying him study.
I always listen to him.
But now, I was appointed as Lord Protector.
I really don’t want to disappoint him.
If I make any mistake,
it’ll embarrass His Majesty.
Xiaoli, even Bai He could be a regent,
you will be qualified to be a Lord Protector.
Although Bai He plotted to revolt and was not to be forgiven,
he’s after all
an eminent general
who has made a lot of contributions
to our country.
But I haven’t experienced any battle before.
Xiaoli, trust me!
You can do it!
Okay!
The answer you want is here.
As long as you talk to Bai He,
you’ll find out the truth.
I won’t go there with you.
No matter what Bai He tells you,
you don’t have to verify it with me.
I trust your judgment.
Bai He is your prisoner now.
He doesn’t even fear of death,
he will certainly talk bad about you.
You are really this confident?
Bai He lied to you before,
because you were young and ignorant.
Since we’ve gone through so many things,
Bai He knows that he can’t fool you anymore.
I have faith in you.
Even if I meet him now,
I have no evidence,
It’ll only waste more words.
If you want evidence,
you should talk to Bai He,
and you should stay in the palace.
Although most of the people who involved in the case
have been killed by Bai He,
the case was also
reported to my late royal father before.
I’m sure we can find some clues
from the records archived in the palace.
If you really want the truth,
this is the best way to lead you there.
Yan, you are willing to stay now?
Great!
You don’t know
that there are so many rules in the palace!
I’m not allowed to touch anything.
It drives me crazy!
Now you know the princess’ life is tough, huh?
So don’t make up groundless stories in your novels anymore!
I was fooled by others’ novels, okay?
I would not come here if I knew.
Oh, tell me Yan,
what makes you change your mind?
Although I’m happy that you stay and accompany me,
I still think
leaving the palace is the best for you.
Is it because of me?
How’s your health?
Xiaoli told me that you are much better now.
Bai He had me take a type of medicine,
it actually worked quite well!
I have no problem with climbing the tree,
jumping over the wall, or writing journals!
Are you still taking it?
When Xiaoli searched Bai He’s mansion,
he found some.
It’ll be enough for me to take a while.
Maybe I’ll be cured after taking the medicine!
By the way, Yan,
how is it going with you and Yinqi?
Have you recalled everything
about your past?
Just because I recalled everything,
so I don’t know how to face him.
The things are too complicated between us.
You should focus on
how to be a princess!
Don’t worry about us.
You think I want to?
You two fussed around from the ancient times to the modern times,
then from the modern times to the ancient times.
As a witness, I’ve got tired of this, even if you haven’t.
Yan,
I think you tend to make things complicated.
Actually as long as you are brave enough to seek,
you will find the right answer.
I want to apply a mask all of a sudden!
It’s been quite a while for me too!
Let’s sleep!
Xiaoli.
Your Majesty, please give me more time to clean
before you come here.
You are the Lord Protector now.
Let the servants do the cleaning.
I can’t!
This is Your Majesty’s secret room.
I can’t let others come here.
Your Majesty!
I brought this from Bai He’s Mansion.
In the past,
I always wanted to go the world
that great grandfather talked about.
But now I really visited there and returned,
it feels everything was so different.
Your Majesty, no matter it’s the modern times or ancient times,
I’m willing to serve Your Majesty forever.
I’d rather to do anything, even die for you.
Xiaoli,
The experience we had in Mount Isle Hotel
greatly enlightened me.
I also learned quite a bit management skill there.
I was playful and ignorant before.
I’ve decided
that I’ll apply those management skills
to governing the country,
so that all the difficulties
we’ve been through
can pay off eventually.
I will arouse my full effort to make the country prosperous again!
Make the country prosperous again with the full effort!
Yu Yan
is righteous and kind, possessing both integrity and ability!
Given that she successfully protected the emperor,
she is hereby appointed as Lady of Etiquette Office,
in charge of teaching and writing.
By the emperor himself.
Gratitude to Your Majesty!
Don’t mind the formalities.
Please rise! Please!
Please rise!
I know
that you are not used to these formalities.
But this is the palace rule.
Hope you’ll understand.
It doesn’t matter.
I’m staying because I want to find out the truth.
After I do, I will resign and leave the palace.
Yan,
there’s really nothing
that’s worth you staying in the palace?
I only want to find out the truth.
I don’t have the energy right now for other things.
Okay!
There’s still time,
we don’t need to rush.
With the pass I gave you last time,
You can visit the Hanlin Academy,
Imperial Library and Imperial Academy anytime you want.
If you need any help, feel free to ask.
I can do it myself.
I understand
that you don’t want others to help you with the investigation.
But if I want to offer my help,
you won’t say no, will you?
Bai Yinqi! You…
Your Majesty.
It’s alright, just call me Bai Yinqi.
I’m still me in front of you.
Let’s act like before, okay?
His Majesty’s decree arrived!
Lord Protector Tian Xiaoli, receive the decree!
Yes!
Lord Protector Tian Xiaoli is appointed as
official in charge of disaster relief.
The decree takes effect immediately.
By the emperor himself.
Decree is received!
Gratitude to His Majesty!
The emperors of our dynasty attach great importance to compiling history books.
They tend to record everything they’ve experienced.
There’s nothing you can’t find about the past history of the emperors.
So the emperors had no right of privacy, right?
What is right of privacy?
Nothing.
The emperor said
that you can browse through the archives freely.
We are not allowed to intervene.
Just let us know if you need help.
Thank you, your Lord.
Your Highness,
You have learned 1/10
of the palace etiquette this month.
Let’s practice more in the future.
It’s only 1/10?
There’s no way that I can read it all.
Your Highness, you misunderstood.
It’s not for you to read,
but to remember by heart.
You are kidding, aren’t you?
Let me tell you,
I didn’t even read these many words
when I took the college entrance exams.
They are all in traditional version!
It’s too hard for me to read!
Do you have simple version?
Your Highness,
Ever since the Qin Dynasty,
all books have been in the same writing styles, all carriages on the same roads, and all behaviors in line with the same ethics.
There’s no such thing as simple version.
Why are you laughing?
Your Highness, please don’t be angry.
Why are you kneeling?
Get up! Get up!
Come one! Get up!
Xiaozhu!
Xiaoli! Are you free now?
Let’s go out and have some fun.
Your Highness, we haven’t finished today’s study.
You can’t go out.
In that case,
I can’t accompany you.
Actually, I haven’t finished work.
I’m here just to be your company.
I didn’t sleep at all last night.
Looks like tonight I’ll have to burn the midnight oil again!
So I come to Xumi to be treated like a prisoner!
I wasn’t allowed to leave Bai He’s Mansion before,
and now I’m not allowed to leave the palace.
See, when you finish your study,
you can certainly go out.
These characters are all in traditional style.
I can’t recognize all of them.
It’s ok.
Just practice more.
Let me teach you, okay?
Leave us!
Yes!
The ink can’t be too much or too little.
Remember to lift your wrist when you write.
The writing should be with much strength and rich in sinew.
The last stroke shall be steady.
Try it. I’ll make the ink for you.
This looks good!
You are so clumsy! Leave here!
It’s alright.
Your Majesty. The congee has been heated up two times.
I’ve asked them to cook some fresh congee for you.
Even though you are busy, you need to eat something.
Just put it there.
What time is it?
Your Majesty, it’s Hai hour(9:00-11:00pm) now.
So, Lady Yu is still at the Imperial Library?
Yes.
I see.
It’s late.
Take a break and eat something.
There’s a vast amount of archives.
Any progress so far?
There are a lot of archives,
but I noticed
that most of the clues were found a couple of years before and after the case.
What have you found?
I only found that
the archives recorded every little details about emperors,
leaving no privacy
at all.
Take this “Bed-wetting Chapter” for example,
it includes four books.
What kind of “Daily Life Officer” was that?
Didn’t record anything serious, but only made fun of me!
Read this one,
it’s so interesting!
I was only one year old!
How can I remember that?
It’s more than that. Look at those.
“Crying Chapter,”
It includes seven books,
recording when you cried in what kind of situation.
Looks like you were quite sensitive when you were little!
So now you are the one who knows me the best?
I’m the second.
The officer who wrote the books was the first one.
I’ll ask them to bring your more incense burners.
You sit here all the time. Don’t get a cold.
There’s a book
named “Abdominal Bloating Chapter.”
It’s a heavy one too.
It wasn’t bloating.
I was just hungry.
I’ve read so much history about you.
I’ve never come across anything about starving.
It’s the first time.
I’ve shared many of my first times with you.
You know that.
What else?
For example,
the first time I tried to kiss somebody,
it was you.
Alright! Alright!
Aren’t you hungry?
Let’s eat!
Bring us the food.
Leave us.
Yes.
Here.
You are so annoying!
Why are you changing clothes by yourself?
I let them out.
I’m just putting this on for fun.
Yan, what’s the right way to put this on?
The front part goes on top,
or the back part goes on top?
The front part goes on top.
Yan,
I feel like I’m a kindergarten kid.
I have to learn everything!
Putting on clothes,
eating manners,
walking…
I feel so bored learning those things!
Why do you all take night shift now?
There’s still a kindergarten kid at home!
If it keeps going like this,
I’ll become left behind kid.
Your Majesty, you didn’t sleep well last night?
I reviewed the memorials for a whole night.
But how come
you also look tired too?
I called a meeting yesterday
with officials from the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Finance.
I didn’t sleep either.
Thank you for your hard work.
Have you had any plan?
Those local officials all conceal the true situation.
The information we collected are all fake,
so they are pointless.
I think we can’t waste more time
on collecting the information.
Looks like
you have to go the disaster area to inspect in person.
Your Majesty, I’d like to do it for our country,
but I have no experience in handling an important task like this.
I’m afraid that I’ll let you down.
You said before
that you want to be an imperial commissioner the most.
Your job is to collect the real information.
I’ll send others
to figure out the solutions.
Just get settled in the disaster area first.
I will be there soon.
The disaster is severe. We don’t have much time.
Pack your stuff and get on road right away.
Yes, Your Majesty!
How is it? Not bad, huh?
Xiaozhu!
Xiaoli!
I have only one more page to go!
You practiced a lot today.
You must be tired!
Xiaozhu, let me eat something first.
I stayed up the whole night,
and I just attended the court meeting this morning.
I’m so starving!
What keeps you so busy?
It’s a long story.
I’m here today to tell you
that I need to get on a long trip.
Long trip?
How far? How long?
Where are you going?
His Majesty asked me to go to the disaster area for relieving work.
It’s the first time I’m appointed as Lord Protector.
Then you take me with you!
I can’t.
It’s a long journey.
And you are not well still,
I can’t make you suffer!
I’m not afraid of that!
As long as I can be with you!
You are too busy
to spend time with me!
Xiaozhu, I was just appointed as Lord Protector.
I can’t make His Majesty disappointed.
Plus, the disaster is severe.
Over hundred thousand refugees are homeless.
I’ll accompany you
after I’m back.
If you don’t want me to go…
Alright, I know
it’s your work!
And I asked you
to be the Lord Protector.
I understand.
Xiaozhu.
I understand it all.
Just go! Try to be back early.
Yan!
There are people over there.
Yan, how long will you stay here?
I need to go through all the books on the shelf in front of this wall.
Yan, I’ve finished my writing practice today.
Will you take me outside?
Could you bring those three books for me?
The three in the middle.
These three books are all about etiquette of Xumi.
You’ll like them.
Yan, I’ve had enough books in my room.
Why do you assign me more homework?
Then go back and take a nap.
Yan, I feel so bored!
Xiaoli has gone on a trip for disaster relief.
I have to practice writing and learn etiquette every day.
I don’t even get to speak 10 lines a day.
I’m bored to death!
Well, then go back and take a nap!
Be good!
I won’t talk to you anymore!
Yinqi!
Your Highness.
I’m Princess Lvyu.
I want to see my brother.
Your Highness,
His Majesty is having a meeting with a few officials right now.
He can’t be disturbed at this moment.
Please wait outside.
How long shall I wait?
Your Highness,
I’m not sure.
You…
Yinqi, I’m bored!
Yinqi!
I’m leaving!
The emperor rebuked Bai He,
because Bai He caused fire accident when dealing with the Yu’s case,
causing several streets around the Yu’s Mansion destroyed.
The emperor was furious!
Attachment:
The evidence showed that about 100 people
including Yu Chong, his clique and his students
intended to rebel.
The witnesses’ testimony is available.
I, Bai He, am hereby proposing to investigate the case in person.
Your Highness!
Bai Zhu!
I brought a parrot to you!
It can speak!
Come here.
Where’s the princess?
The princess was quite angry
after she came back from His Majesty’s place.
She was just here.
Don’t talk!
When will she be back?
Hold this.
I went out for fun. Don’t be worried about me!
Bai Zhu! Good for you!
Good for you!
Your Royal Highness.
Did you bring me liquor?
You’ll get liquor
on the execution day.
The others need liquor because they are afraid.
I am not afraid at all.
I need liquor
because I want someone close to me
to see me off.
Let me ask you one more time!
Did you have anything to do with the death of my whole family?
What do you want to hear?
Yu Chong was too stubborn.
I asked him to collaborate with me
to take the emperor down,
but he was stubborn and couldn’t be convinced.
He knew too much about me.
How could I let him be alive?
As for the fire,
believe it or not,
it was just an accident.
Then why did you save my life?
I saw you escaped from the fire alone
back then,
you looked so pitiful.
There’s no point to talk this now.
Forget it.
I’m just defeated,
not wrong.
Come on, kill me!
If I kill you, I’d only take revenge for my family.
But your crime
is so much more serious than that.
How is it?
It’s over.
Everything will be fine.
You have me.
You don’t blame me?
I’ve never blamed you!
Report!
Your Majesty!
Princess Lvyu left the palace!
No one knows where she is!
