♫ I have removed and discarded my body armor and helmet long ago. Only wish, forever and ever ♫
♫ To whisper loving words in your ear ♫
♫ I am willing to forego immense prestige and glory for you ♫

[ Episode 17 ]
It's already been four hours!
I won't say that you swindled me anymore.
Just let me go!
The wound should have scabbed over by now. Is it still painful?
It seems like somebody doesn't want you to go yet.
How about if I go get some medicine for you?
What? Do you still want to eat chocolate?
What chocolate?
That's more bitter here than Chinese coptis!!
That factory should have been shut down by now.
How about if I brew some new medicine for you?
I've been lying down for so long, my elbow is sore!
If you give me a good massage, I'll let you go.
I heard that right before a person dies,
they will see a white tunnel in front of their eyes.
The light there is especially bright.
But why did I see something different?
It's fine if you swindle me, but you even have the nerve to say you're dying?
What did you see?
I... saw a... very plain looking girl.
She stood in front of me
and told me, "Cheng Cheng!
If you don't go back,
then I won't go back either!"
You hit my wound!
Where is your wound?
It's all because you're such a Iiar that I--
You what? Are you telling me the whole truth now?
You still don't believe me?
No matter what happens in the future, no matter where you are,
as long as you need me,
I will appear right then and there.
How despicable!
I'm leaving first!
Your Highness.
Why did you stay in Liu Shang's room until now?
Liu Shang and I... almost got killed in the market today!
Did you get hurt?
It's all thanks to Liu Shang! Thankfully, I'm okay!
In the future, you are not permitted to
mention another man in front of me.
My God! That's exactly what Mo Lian Cheng said!
So, the past Mo Lian Cheng
is such a gentleman, even when he flirts with girls.
So when did he pick up so many sleazy tricks now?
Your Highness, I'm leaving first!
[Eighth Prince Manor]
- Your Highness. - Tan'er may be your personal maid,
but you two were still stay together alone in the same room after the 'You' hour. (You - 5 to 7PM double hour system of Old China)
Don't you find that improper?
Your Highness is right.
Next time, once it's past the 'You' time, I'll surely call for Jing Xin to enter the room.
I will not stay alone with Lady Tan'er.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, the news has come from the Palace. His Majesty has fully recovered
and is summoning all the princes to the Royal Library for a meeting.
His Majesty also said the Second Miss of the Qu family must come with you.
This meeting may have to do with naming the Crown Prince.
I fear that His Majesty might reward in favor of the Eldest Prince on a whim.
The Crown Prince position isn't as secure as a city protected by a wall of a metal and boiling water.
The person who is seated first might not be the last one to be seated.
It seems like the fight for the Crown Prince position will happen again, just as it did in the past.
Is the Eldest Prince's tragic ending really unavoidable?
Sir, why do you look more troubled than I?
If Eldest Prince really becomes the Crown Prince,
he surely will make you and the 14th Prince his right-hand men.
Based on your personality, Your Highness will surely refuse.
I would like to ask Your Highness to remember the brotherly affection and hold back your words.
Sir, are you the Eldest Prince's strategist or mine?
Your brother is still alive, so you do not understand how it feels to lose him!
I do not wish Your Highness to suffer such pain!
That is why I am offering my counsel.
By the King's Royal Edict,
Eldest Royal Prince Mo Yi Huai, as the first-born royal son,
is where Heaven's will lies.
Now, all subjects will hereby observe this new decree, as required in the written ritual annals,
and after having been posted for all the people to see.
I'm announcing to the Heavens and Earth, to the Royal Family's Ancestral Shrine, and to the Kingdom,
that I bestow upon him the precious seal and confer upon him the title of Crown Prince.
He will now reside in the East Palace, to continue governance for eternity,
and flourish in the hearts of the Kingdom.
Announce this to the world so all subjects will be advised.
It is so ordered!

Pan'er! Pan'er! You finally came to see me!
Pan'er! Did you come to save me?
Or did His Majesty send you because he forgave me?
Pan'er, say something!
Otherwise, how about if I dance for you?
Your Highness, do not fret. I came to help you escape from this suffering.
Come.
Your Highness, eat something first.
Pan'er, I'm not hungry! I don't want to eat either.
Pan'er, hurry and tell me! Does His Majesty miss me?
How are things outside now? Hurry and tell me, Pan'er!
All right! I will tell you.
Now, Mo Yi Huai has become the Crown Prince.
But you have not given up on restoring your kingdom.
You will eventually become a threat and trouble for Brother Yi Huai.
I never imagined this!
I would actually die by the hands of a little maidservant!
Even without me,
Great Yu will not give up!
My allies will rekindle the fire of restoring our kingdom!
You and that Mo Yi Huai...
You will not have good endings!
Hurry and tell the King. The Royal Consort killed herself out of guilt.
Yes.
I asked you to come here after the Coronation ceremony
because the Crown Prince has asked me to grant a marriage
to make the Second Miss of the Qu family his concubine.
Royal Father! I came at this time in the hope
that you would allow Miss Tan'er and I to be together.
Miss Tan'er. Haven't you always wanted to choose your own fate?
Since the Crown Prince and the 8th Prince both want the same thing, what do you think?
When I was a real estate agent, I was always single!
Why is it as soon as I get here I have both a newly named Crown Prince
and the most handsome man in Dong Yue?
This is just like the fate of Huan Huan and Mi Yue! ( Zhen Huan / Mi Yue - famous Imperial concubines )
Qu Xiao Tan, after you become the Queen of Dong Yue, won't every house in Dong Yue belong to you?
Do you really want to give up this fortune?
Miss Tan'er?
Tan'er!
Looking at your expression, it seems that you have made up your mind.
Replying to Your Majesty,
I don't want to marry either the Crown Prince or the 8th Prince!
Miss Tan'er, has your heart already been taken?
Precisely!
- Tan'er, wait! - Damn! I didn't get to escape!
Tan'er. I don't blame you for rejecting an arranged marriage.
Being a concubine is indeed too inadequate for you.
Tan'er. After I take the throne, I will keep my promise and make you Dong Yue's queen!
If I'm still in this stupid place when that happens, then I'm really unlucky!
You are too confident, Crown Prince.
Love cannot be forced.
Aren't you imposing your will on her even more when you forcibly grab her hand?
Tan'er dares not say anything precisely because she is staying under someone else's roof and worried about any backlash.
Tan'er. I won't allow you to suffer this pressure alone.
I've long admired you for having the prestige to dominate the world.
Even if Tan'er rejects both of us,
Tan'er is still a female attendant in my manor.
She does not need to accept your pity.
I understand why the Eldest Prince wants to marry me!
But why did the 8th Prince ask His Majesty for me too?
It'd be great if Liu Shang was here too! It'd be really festive!
I am very curious. You said your heart is taken. Who did you give it to?
I can hang on to my own stuff. I don't trust anyone!
Based on your words, it seems that you have emptied your heart.
You're just using an empty city trick to deceive the King.
Could it be Sir Liu Shang?
It isn't anyone!
My heart is beating quite well!
I can't bear to give it to anyone!
I only believe the things I see!
Your Highness! You're going overboard now!
I feel so awkward my illness is acting up. I need to go take my medicine.
Liu--
Cheng Cheng! Cheng Cheng! Open the door!
It's me! Hurry up and open the door!
Cheng Cheng!
Did you learn how to knock from a delivery man?
Do you want everyone to hear you?
Cheng Cheng! Did your wound get infected?
Hurry and go back to bed and rest!
It appears that Tan'er really understands me.
♫ Idling and circling around, it then was too late to pluck the dawn blossoms by dusk. ♫
♫ Searching and looking, living as if intoxicated or dreaming for another lifetime. ♫
Just now, I heard some strange news from the spy in the Palace.
He said the Second Miss of the Qu family simultaneously rejected the marriage proposals from both the Crown Prince
and the 8th Prince.
And she also declared her heart was already taken.
Who is the spy? What rubbish!
Which part did I get wrong?
♫ Turn back to be a butterfly inside a sealed cocoon ♫
It seems that Tan'er fell for me long ago.
If you keep talking trash, I'll go become the Crown Prince's consort. Then you'll regret!
♫ which cannot be cut but is mingled, forever and ever ♫

Greetings, Your Majesty!
Princess, you have come from far away, so please rise.
Lord Qu, rise, please.
Thank you Your Majesty!
Princess. Do you know what this place is?
I heard that ever since you entered the palace,
you've refused to put down your whip. Why is that?
We, sons and daughters of Yong Ye never put down our weapons.
Why would I put down my whip as soon as I enter the palace?
Oh? What a unique point of view!
- Lord Qu. - Present.
Your merit is undeniable in getting the King's agreement to a marriage alliance which resolved our border conflict.
Since your merits have compensated for your previous guilt, I will allow you to return to your original position.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!
Don't forget my merit also, Your Majesty!
Lord Qu used his medical skills to save a huge number of our livestock.
This alleviated many losses for our herdsmen.
I told Royal Father not to attack only because of Lord Qu.
Your Majesty. The princess is still young and if you find any of her words inappropriate,
I beg for Your Majesty's forgiveness.
The citizens of Yong Ye are naturally open-minded or petty over trivial details.
But Princess, a political marriage is such an important matter,
but the King of Yong Ye didn't come with you. I am very surprised. Why is that?
Naturally, Lan Ye Xi's husband should be picked by Lan Ye Xi.
It's no matter if it is Father or Mother, they have no right to interfere.
Princess, how will you choose your husband?
It's a secret. Your Majesty will know when the time comes.
What bastard was it?
He dared to touch my yard and act atrociously!
Is the Wandering Soul Flute still here?
If someone gets close to the flute's owner
and uses the Soul Wandering Flute to undo the seal on the Zhen Huan Pearl,
then the Demon King will sense the spiritual power and come here to Dong Yue!
I used my magic to conceal the Wandering Soul Flute.
Yet, the intruder still discovered it.
Is this person's spiritual power above mine?
For now, we must find the Soul Wandering Flute right away
or else, history will repeat itself!
You brat...
have you seen the owner
use the Wandering Soul Flute to undo the seal on the Soul Suppressing Orb before?
Not only have I seen it I am also very familiar with the host.
I can tell you, but
after you learn who she is, you must protect her. You can't be stubborn
or undo the seal and go to the Magical Spirit Land. That will create a great catastrophe.
The way you talk about me. Aiya!
When I'm with you, I always have this feeling of being naked.
This is an extreme insult.
Then do you agree or...
Well... Yes, I agree.
Hurry and tell me! Who is it?
She is the Second Miss of the Qu family, Qu Tan'er.
Qu Tan'er? She is...
Elder, remember the things you said.
Look at you! You were just
treated with some respect and now I've become an old man?
Is your eyesight getting worse?
Is the medicine becoming increasingly less useful?
If you keep staying here, I'm afraid your days are numbered.
Dong Yue's fate is set by the heavens.
You should return to the place you came from to save yourself.
Father!
Why are you acting so cautiously? Just what is it?
When I got exiled to the border,
I thought that the Qu family had already fallen and our future long lost.
Who knew that I found new hope out of desperation?
In the Yong Ye Kingdom, I found a precious treasure.
What is this book?
The Soul Suppressing Orb that has been passed down in our family originally had a secret cultivation manual paired with it.
Unfortunately, the secret manual was so cryptic and hard to understand.
But according to legends, there was one person
who was able to decipher it and cultivate its technique.
From then on, his power progressed and became invincible.
Who was it?
That person is Mo Yi Feng, the first King of Dong Yue.
And the one in your hands is the improved version of our cultivation manual.
Then it means that if you cultivate using this secret manual,
the power you acquire from this will help you regain authority over the whole of Dong Yue.
Not only that.
This secret manual can help me extract some energy from the Soul Suppressing Orb and sense its magical power.
This is a treasure that I found using the secret manual.
Initially, I wanted to check the identity of the master of this treasure, but I was afraid it would cause alarm.
After all, my real identity and strength mustn't be uncovered by others yet.
More importantly, the spiritual energy of the Soul Suppressing Orb
can only be completely released in front of its true host.
Hence, we must quickly find the host.
Pan'er, have you noticed if any members of our clan
behaving in a strange manner?
Father, why do you bother asking? It surely would be that one and only little sister of mine.
Not only has her personality greatly changed, but she's also forgotten all her memories.
But all the Princes just love her addled personality.
Not only Eldest Prince, 8th Prince, and even that strategist in the 8th Prince Manor also took a liking to her.
Father, not only are you not helping me, you're even laughing at me.
Pan'er, if my deduction is right, Tan'er must be connected with the Soul Suppressing Orb.
- Father— - Don't rush. Once the right time comes, I surely will reveal everything.
Now, I still have another urgent matter that needs to be completed as soon as possible.
Cheng'er and Lord Qu, why did you come to see me at the same time?
Your Majesty, I am old.
I hope that Tan'er can now return to my care so that our family can be reunited.
Your Majesty, I boldly ask Your Majesty to pardon the crime of Tan'er
and let her return to the Qu Manor.
Royal Father, when the Qu Manor was confiscated,
Qu Tan'er had already been transferred to my manor. That was by royal decree. How can it be changed?
Your Majesty, my health has been deteriorating.
My only wish is to enjoy the happiness of a complete family.
I earnestly ask Your Majesty to allow my request.
Royal Father, Qu Jiang Lin is an important subject of the kingdom.
How could he disrupt a royal order just for selfish reasons?
The two of them are getting flustered while arguing.
Could there be something unusual about this Qu Tan'er?
Qu Tan'er, what is your opinion?
Replying to Your Majesty, currently in the 8th Prince Manor,
I eat and sleep well, my job location is close by, and the Prince even promoted me and increased my salary.
Now, I'm already a Department Manager of the 8th Prince Manor.
My clients are all handsome or young fair men.
I'm very contented with my current job.
Moreover, 8th Prince treats me very well.
As the old saying goes, one should repay a drop of kindness with an eternal spring.
I'm willing to keep working for 8th Prince. I'll be forever loyal to the Prince.
Father,
my working at the 8th Prince Manor is also accumulating some work experience.
When I return to Qu Manor in the future, I can help you with some of the management tasks.
This maiden's manner of speaking is quite interesting. But regarding loyalty, are you really sincere?
Then I will allow you to stay in the 8th Prince Manor.
Thank you.
Tan'er.
All thanks to Your Majesty for your grace.
8th Brother.
8th Brother, are you really giving up on the marriage alliance?
This princess is as beautiful as a fairy. If you reject her, you'll regret it.
Also, if you marry her, you'll get support from the foreign power.
I already have a choice for my Princess Consort.
Why don't I give you this enviable task instead?
8th Prince, stop jesting with me.
What I want are cute girls.
Cute girls?
It seems that Tan'er has been a bad influence on 14th.
But 8th Brother, if the Princess chooses the Crown Prince...
Royal Brother, what if you don't strive for it
and 8th Brother gets chosen by the Princess? Won't we end up being at a disadvantage?
How could a princess of a border tribe be allowed to choose among us distinguished princes of Dong Yue?
This is so embarrassing. Once I ascend to the throne, I will make sure these tribes to pay homage to me.
I, Lan Ye Xi, greets Your Majesty.
Princess, no need to be so courteous.
This is a family banquet. Be more at ease.
I have a question to ask all the Princes.
The one who answers it correctly will receive a gift from my Yong Ye Kingdom.
Why are the ones who breed descendants all women,
while the people who hold power are all men? Isn't that quite foolish?
What's foolish about it? Since time began, a man is respected and a woman is subservient to him. That's the cosmic order.
A man handles matters outside the family, and a woman oversees domestic affairs. It's natural and Heaven's gift.
Princess, your idea is quite unique.
I feel that changing them around is no big deal and maybe it would be fun.
May I ask for the wise opinion of 8th Prince.
Maybe, in some future world, women would get the chance to choose if they want to breed any descendants.
Then not bearing children won't invite any criticism of them.
The answer of 8th Prince exactly fits mine.
I'm gifting you this precious sword then.
Thank you, Your Highness.
