Episode 50
Luo Yan.
Have you been outside for too long...
until you've forgotten about your aspiration?
I haven't forgotten about it.
You once asked me...
about my wish.
My parents died in war.
I wish that there will be no more war in this world.
You said that you have the same wish as I have.
" The Books of Mountains and Rivers "
Now,
I choose to accept this alliance...
in order to fulfil that wish.
But this is against the act of kindness and right conduct.
Kindness and right conduct?
What is kindness and right conduct?
Back then, when I had saved you, kept you,
let you stay in the manor and taught you how to read and fight,
that was kindness.
Because of me, you had stayed in Northern Realm for years,
you had endured humiliation until finally, you got the book.
That was right conduct.
Our original intention is to get The Book of Mountains and Rivers...
and take over the world honourably.
But until now,
we still can't unearth the secret of the book...
although we already had it for one year.
We can't continue with this path anymore.
We can't be stubborn about it anymore.
Luo Yan.
You are different from other woman.
So, you should know better that...
discarding smaller righteousness for bigger righteousness...
is the best way for a person who is meant to do great things.
Now,
someone has presented this shortcut to us.
We can achieve our aspiration with it...
while reducing the number of soldiers that we have to sacrifice.
Why not do it?
But if we can't be righteous in the smaller scale,
we can forget about bigger righteousness.
You can have no qualm about Prince Li and Rong Le's safety...
but you have to think about your consort's feelings.
As long as you don't tell her,
she won't know about it.
But if you tell her,
then our friendship for so many years...
will have to come to an end.
Your Highness.
I have been hiding something from you.
Rong Le is the descendant of Qin family.
And she is the only one who knows about the secret of the book.
So, you can't kill her.
That day, in the inn,
you were the one who arranged for someone...
to disguise as me to lure away the soldiers?
If I can issue an arrest warrant,
I can make sure that you won't be caught for sure.
I wonder who are the people that had disguised as the Seven Asuras.
They look exactly the same on the surface.
But their martial art skills are way off.
I had asked The Hidden Ones to investigate about it.
If I'm not wrong,
they are from the Creed of Vengeance.
By the way, in the letter that you had asked Xiao Sha to give me,
you said that something is not right with Ling Yue.
From the moment she approaches Ya Li,
I already feel that something is not right.
I'm not sure about it yet.
But when we were in the great hall back then,
it looked like she was defending me.
But actually, she was twisting the truth.
Her words were not persuasive at all.
And she had planned...
Ya Li's death as well.
She had made sure that it'll be impossible for me to justify myself.
Now, we are here in Chen together.
I want to see...
what other evil plans the instigator behind her...
has for me.
I found out that...
that beau was sent into the manor by Ling Yue.
A day before, he had murdered Chun Ni.
And then, he disguised as Chun Ni to go into your room.
I'm right after all.
I treated her like my sister.
How could she snuff out a life...
in order to frame me?
She was sent here as your maidservant for the marriage alliance.
I'm afraid that...
since the very beginning, she has stayed with you with ulterior motives.
You have been together for two years.
But she can still do such a cruel thing to you.
Looks like she doesn't treat you like a sister.
Man Yao.
Once you have something to hold against her, don't be soft-hearted.
The medicine is done?
Yes, it is.
Look at you. You've slimmed down out of exhaustion for the past two days.
Give this to me. I'll send it to the Princess.
Go back and rest up earlier.
You too.
-Who is it? -It's me, Princess.
Come in.
Your Highness.
Princess, your medicine is done.
Continue to keep an eye on her tonight.
-Don't let her come near here. -I understand.
Wu You.
Actually, besides Ling Yue,
I saw the back of a person in...
Prince Zhen Bei's manor that day.
It looks like a person that I know in the past.
Chen Yu?
You knew?
After she took away the book,
I had my suspicion.
Ning Qian Yi came to Zhongshan in the name of alliance.
And he had gone more than once to Moon Embrace Teahouse.
Before he came, Chen Yu was still acting normal.
As soon as he left,
Chen Yu had kidnapped you and forced me to give her the book.
That was too much of a coincidence.
I had asked The Hidden Ones to track her as well.
And we found out that she was last seen...
at the border of Chen.
I see.
I came here to Chen this time...
for another thing actually.
It is about the warhorse that I had mentioned to you in the letter.
Chen is famous with their warhorse.
When Ning Qian Yi took Zhao Yun as his wife back then,
he had given a thousand warhorses to Northern Realm.
Now, these warhorses have fallen into Fu Chou's hands.
He wants to build a team of elite Calvary.
We don't have enough warhorses. We'll be in a disadvantage.
If we can use this chance to buy a team of warhorses from them,
we will be able to solve our biggest problem.
Wu You.
I'm worried about Zhao Yun.
She has fallen in love with Ning Qian Yi...
and she is pregnant with his child.
If Ning Qian Yi...
is really the one who had instructed Chen Yu to get the book,
tell me, what should we do then?
Let's be sure about it first.
Unless it's necessary,
I won't do something that will upset Zhao Yun.
But if Ning Qian Yi is someone with wild ambition,
it won't be easy for us to get the warhorses.
Don't worry.
Although Ning Qian Yi holds the military power of Chen,
he is not the emperor of this country.
I already asked Leng Yan to spy on the emperor of Chen in the palace.
The emperor of Chen?
He is the emperor who has just reached...
the age of 10 and who has just ascended the throne?
I heard that...
he just knows how to have fun and knows nothing about public affairs.
-I wonder if it's true. -Whether it's true or not,
we'll know when we meet him.
It's late already.
I have to go.
You have to be careful when you stay here.
Don't do anything risky.
Be extra careful when you are outside.
-Small pendants and toys for sale. -Fresh vegetables for sale.
Small pendants and toys for sale.
-Small pendants and toys for sale. -Fresh vegetables for sale.
I heard that he ran to West Market Street after he left the palace.
He should be here soon.
Stop running!
Don't run.
Slow down!
-Don't run! -Don't run, slow down!
Be careful!
Slow down!
Catch me if you can.
A bunch of fools.
Move aside!
Quick, move aside!
Are you alright?
-Open the door! -How dare you!
Follow me.
It's so painful!
Let go of me! I still want to look at their silly faces!
Let go of me first, alright?
You saved me. I can repay you.
Let go of me first, alright?
It's very painful.
If you don't let go of me now,
I'll hit you!
Somebody help!
An adult is bullying a kid!
Somebody help!
If you have had enough, Your Majesty,
how about we use this chance to talk business?
Alright, Prince Li.
You know me?
Prince Li, have a seat.
You are the one who sent someone to spy on my actions and whereabouts?
Not only I know about your identity,
I know about things that happened in Northern Realm for the past few years.
And I know why...
you and Prince Regent of Northern Realm are here.
First, it's because of Princess Rong Le of Western Qi.
Second, it's because of warhorse.
Am I right?
Word is, emperor of Chen is young, clueless...
and ignorant about public affairs.
It is indeed untrue.
If I didn't do so,
I wouldn't have the chance to experience your graceful bearing.
How could they let a ten-year-old take the throne?
What are they trying to do?
He is just a kid.
Besides playing, he knows hide-and-seek only.
They let him handle the public affairs.
Will he be able to do it well?
Who did His Majesty...
encounter today?
Just now, His Majesty almost got hit by a carriage.
Then, that carriage stopped dead in the middle of the road...
and blocked our sight on His Majesty.
We didn't get a clear look on who was the person we encountered.
But we found out that...
the carriage belongs to the emperor of Qi.
Rong Qi.
He didn't come here...
just for Rong Le?
Does he have...
another reason to be here?
Do we need to send someone to keep an eye on him?
Send someone to check on him.
But don't touch him.
I don't want any other complications.
Send someone to keep a close eye on Fu Chou.
By the way,
Lin Shen told me that Zongzheng Wu You...
has already left southern fringe in secret.
Send more people to keep an eye on him in secret.
Report to me at once if you find anything.
That's it. You may leave now.
Yes, Your Highness.
" Written by Fu Yuan "
Zhao Yun.
What kind of a person...
do you think Qian Yi is?
Him?
He is bold and righteous, open and aboveboard,
and is very attentive to me. He is a very good man.
If...
If one day,
you realise that...
he is not what you think he is,
what will you do?
What do you mean?
Yun!
Come and take a look.
Take a look at what I've prepared for our child.
Rong Le. Come and take a look as well.
These are better than what I've sewn.
Of course the one you sew is better.
Yun, I just don't want it to be too hard on you.
This shirt is for a three-year-old, right?
You are even more impatient than Zhao Yun.
Of course I'm impatient.
This is my first child with Yun.
I can't wait for him to come into this world earlier...
so that I can take a look at him earlier.
Yun, look at this.
Do you like it?
Here. Put them nicely into Lady Zhao Yun's closet.
Yes, Your Highness.
Let's have some tea.
Rong Le.
When I was in Northern Realm,
I once gave you a jar of wine.
Have you drunk it?
I've already finished it. It tasted divine.
That's great.
We have many of the same wine here.
By the way, at noon tomorrow,
I'm going to have a feast...
in Qianlin Garden to welcome Prince Regent and emperor of Qi.
How about you attend the feast with me...
to enjoy ourselves?
I'll pass.
I haven't recovered from my wounds. I shouldn't take any alcohol.
That's right. Princess Rong Le is still unwell.
It's a feast for others, you can just go alone.
Why do you want to drag her in?
You have no idea.
Both of them came to Chen because they want to buy warhorses.
But this year, we have a limited number of warhorses.
I can only sell them to one party.
That's why...
I don't know how to choose between the two of them.
I hope that Rong Le can advise me on that.
After all, you know them...
better than I do.
Fu Chou wants to buy horse as well?
Yes.
Before this, I had given him one thousand horses as dowry.
I heard that he has trained up a strong team of Calvary.
If I sell my warhorses again to him this time,
I think his team...
will be able to send his enemies fleeing helter-skelter.
You have saved me and let me stay in your manor to recuperate.
You have asked for my help. If I don't help you,
I won't be a very good friend.
I'll attend the feast with you tomorrow then.
That's great. Here.
Let's have some tea.
Here.
-Little Xun. -Yes, Your Majesty?
Princess Rong Le is still not here?
Your Majesty.
You still have time before your meeting with Prince Zhen Bei.
Wait for a while more. She is going to be here soon.
I always think that...
life is too short...
and time passes swiftly.
But today, I feel that it's passing very slowly.
Little Xun.
Go and wait outside.
Inform me at once when she reaches here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Princess Rong Le is here.
She has entered Qianlin Garden and is heading towards Qingtian Chamber.
Let's go.
-Greetings, Your Majesty. -What is it?
Little Xun.
Tell Prince Zhen Bei that...
I'm not feeling well today and I can't attend the feast.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Keep a close eye on Qingtian Chamber.
Report to me at once if you find any traces of Lin Shen.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Rong Le.
Although I really want to see you,
I'm more determined...
I can bring you back safely.
This way please.
Prince Regent really cares about Rong Le a lot.
You are here so early.
Prince Regent.
Have a seat.
After you.
Prince Zhen Bei,
our Majesty won't be able to attend the feast...
because he is unwell today.
Please forgive him.
Emperor of Qi is ill?
Guards, bring the royal physician here.
Thank you for your hospitality.
This is just an attack of an old illness.
He just need to rest quietly to recuperate.
Princess Rong Le. Long time no see.
His Majesty misses you a lot.
He wishes you well.
Prince Zhen Bei, I'll take my leave now.
He better be ill...
and not plotting anything evil in the dark.
You think too much, Prince Regent.
This is not Western Qi.
These are the best wines in Chen.
We'll each choose a jar of wine. We'll drink till we drop today.
Rong Le, you can choose first.
Alcohol will harm the body.
Since we are here to talk business, we can skip the wine.
It's not easy for the three of us to gather here today.
It's such a happy day today. It's fine to drink some wine.
Moreover, Rong Le is feeling down lately.
It will help her feel better if she drinks some wine.
Today, Rong Le...
This wine smells exactly the same as the wine you gave me back then.
You still haven't recovered. It's better if you don't drink.
It's none of your business.
Prince Regent is indeed a very good drinker.
I never thought that after so long,
the three of us will be able to gather around again.
Unfortunately, Prince Li is not here.
Is it really over...
between the two of you.
Back in Zhongshan,
I thought that Prince Li loved you wholeheartedly.
I never thought that he will treat you like this.
Rong Le. Don't be too upset.
He doesn't trust you, but we do.
Qian Yi, let's not talk about him anymore, alright?
Come, let's drink.
Whoever that mentions him have to drink three cups as punishment.
Since you want to drink,
then let's drink together.
That's great.
Here.
Cheers.
Rong Le.
Before this, I thought that you and Prince Li were each other's halves.
I never thought that...
Prince Li is not the one for you.
But this time, Prince Regent has made me...
look at him with new eyes.
He came to Chen...
in the name of rebuilding our past alliance.
But actually, he's only here because of you.
He came here despite the long distance.
Looks like he's really infatuated with you.
How about you reconsider...
to be with Prince Regent again?
Prince Li.
After more than a year,
when have you became a matchmaker, Prince Zhen Be?
Prince Li.
Prince Li, you came on the right time.
We were just talking about you.
I never thought that I'll even see you in Chen.
Prince Li.
Prince Regent is here to buy warhorse.
He'll go back after the deal is done.
You had once sent me letters to form an alliance with me.
But now, you want to sell warhorses to my enemy.
Are you the only one who can buy warhorses?
Calm down.
Prince Li. Since you are genuinely here to buy warhorses,
how about we sit down...
and have a peaceful discussion about it?
I heard that Chen has breed a thousand fine horses this year.
I'm willing to exchange them for a year of my city's taxes.
What do you think?
Northern fringe is just a small area compared to Northern Realm.
A year of taxes from a city-sized country worth nothing.
Prince Zhen Bei, if you...
are willing to cooperate with Northern Realm,
whether it's gold, silver, jade, food of other goods,
you can just name a price.
For the past year, after the transformation, the people...
of southern fringe lived in peace and we have stable income.
As for you,
For the past year, you went on punitive expedition one after another.
Your national treasure is depleted. What do you have to offer?
No need to worry about it.
Northern Realm is vast country with rich resources.
Even if we went on punitive expedition everywhere, the court can afford it.
But southern fringe is just a tiny place.
Besides Qingzhou,
do you have any other cities...
that can be up to par with Zhongshan?
Stop fighting with each other.
I'm very satisfied with both of your conditions.
But...
Rong Le.
How about you choose it for me.
She is the guilty consort of southern fringe. It's inappropriate...
to let her choose.
You are wrong, Prince Li.
Rong Le has already left southern fringe.
And now, she is Prince Zhen Bei's honoured guest.
Why can't she choose?
That's right. Rong Le.
I'll let you make the decision.
Choose for me. I trust you.
You want me to choose?
You'll listen to me?
You don't have to choose either of them.
She is drunk already.
You let her make the decision in such an important military matter.
-She is treating it like a plaything. -She hasn't finished her sentence yet.
How do you know she will treat it like a plaything?
That's right. You may continue, Rong Le.
These warhorses,
don't sell them to either of them.
If you want to sell them,
sell them to me.
Sell them to you?
Why do you need warhorses?
That's right.
Why do I need warhorses?
I don't know as well.
But I don't want to let them have the horses. Can I?
Rong Le. You are drunk.
Why can't I have my own warhorses?
You too, think that...
a woman should stay quietly and obediently in the harem,
we can have neither aspiration nor our own troops...
and we can't hold a power as great as men, right?
Rong Le, you think too much.
Have a seat first.
I was once an abandoned princess of Western Qi.
Then, I was the wife abandoned by Northern Realm's General of Defence.
Now, I am the guilty consort of southern fringe.
In my life,
I am abandoned again and again by man after man.
I have had enough.
I want to have power of my own.
From now on, I don't need to depend on anybody anymore.
Rong Le.
This is the jade pendant...
you gave me when we were in Northern Realm.
Back then, in order to repay me for saving you,
you promised that...
you'll agree to do me a favour.
Now, I'm going to use this jade pendant...
in exchange for the warhorses deal.
But Prince Li has the same jade pendant too.
If Prince Li uses it on me too,
then I'll be a person...
who breaks my promise.
You can sell the warhorses to her.
I want to see how will a woman with nothing build her own army.
Then,
what about you, Prince Regent?
If that's the case,
I'll withdraw from this fight for warhorses.
Besides, I'll bear all the costs needed...
for Rong Le warhorses.
No need.
When I was married to Northern Realm from Western Qi,
the dowry that I had brought with me...
is more than equivalent to the taxes of a city.
You just need to give me back my dowry.
From now on,
it'll be a clean cut between us.
Qian Yi.
It's a deal then.
Don't go back on your words.
Princess Rong Le is drunk. Take care of her.
She'll stay here tonight.
Rong Le.
Rong Le!
Both of you. Can you don't wage a tit-for-tat here?
Although I don't know what grudges you have between you,
we are in Chen now.
See it as a form of respect for me, alright?
If you have any grudges, please settle this in private.
Guards, bring Prince Li to his resting chamber.
Yes, Your Highness.
Farewell, Prince Regent.
What is wrong with you? Pay attention when you walk.
Are you alright, Princess?
Stop following me.
Yes, Your Highness.
It's me, Rong Le.
Rong Qi.
What are you trying to do this time?
I already found a way to neutralise the poison in you once and for all.
Come back to Western Qi with me. Let me cure you.
I was hurt so badly because of you back then.
Why do you still want to lie to me now?
I'm not lying to you.
I have completed the three things that I had promised you.
If I knew that you were going to do it like that,
then I rather you did nothing.
Rong Le.
Please trust me one more time.
I am tricked by you again and again.
I have learnt my lessons.
I won't fall for your lies again.
Let go of me.
Let go of me!
" Hanqing Pavilion "
It's dangerous here.
Leave at once with Prince Li.
Chen Yu.
I never thought that after so long,
you are still able to recognise me in one glance.
That day in Prince Zhen Bei's manor,
I saw your back.
Back in Northern Realm,
Ning Qian Yi was the one who asked you to take away...
The Book of Mountains and Rivers, right?
Why are you so impatient for me to leave?
Is he...
going to do something that will harm me?
Stop asking.
If you still trust me, leave now.
Do you think the problem will be solved if I leave?
In order to get the book back then,
he had asked you to stay in Northern Realm for years.
If he really wants to harm me,
he will find me even if I leave Chen.
Maybe he is not as bad as you think he is.
You don't even dare to look me in my eyes.
It means that you know it very clearly.
If he didn't have any evil plans for me,
you wouldn't urge me to leave.
He commands the court of Chen...
and keeps watch on the young emperor of Chen.
A person who craves power can't be a kind ruler.
You asked me to leave Chen.
And I want you to leave Ning Qian Yi.
-I... -Moreover, the book is in his hands.
We can't be sure what he'll do in the future even if I leave.
Why are you here, Your Highness?
I heard that Qian Yi had drunk too much last night.
And I heard that Brother Wu You is here.
I want to meet them.
It's late already.
There are many male guests in Qianlin Garden.
It's inappropriate for you to go in now.
Please come again tomorrow.
Princess Rong Le is inside as well. What's inappropriate about it?
His Highness put Princess Rong Le here because he wants to find a chance...
to restore Prince Li and Princess Rong Le's relationship.
If you insist on going inside to meet Prince Li now,
I'm afraid you'll ruin the plan that His Highness has meticulously planned.
I see.
Send this hangover soup to Qian Yi.
I'll visit them again tomorrow.
Hopefully, all will be well between Brother Wu You and...
Princess Rong Le tomorrow.
Farewell, Your Highness.
Gunpowder.
