[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 13]
Kill them all!
Fire!
Commandery Princess, bad news!
They have reinforcement.
They're just a bunch of nobodies seeking their doom.
Get our men to hold them off.
- Don't spoil my plan! - Yes!
Run! Get going!
Just come at me.
Why are you taking innocent lives?
I just like taking innocent lives.
What can you do to me?
You can take my life now.
But can't you just spare them?
They're just some wretched things.
What difference does it make, whether they die now or later?
But as for you, I won't let you die so easily.
How could I let you die as you wish?
I will carve your face, one slash at a time.
I'll make you watch as your blood runs dry, drop by drop.
I'll listen to you begging for mercy.
I'll watch as you struggle.
How satisfying would that be?
Shameless!
Attack!
You...
How dare you!
Don't you know the consequences of hurting the commandery princess?
You--
Who do you think you are to stand up to her?
Don't you understand your status?
Does status determine everything?
Do you think like those slaves do?
Do you think that killing nobility will give you a chance to flourish?
I just want to save my brother.
You're just a lowly slave.
Is that what you actually think of us?
Once a slave, always a slave.
Be it in Xuanyou Division or here.
When I become king
there will be even more slaves!
That will be the law!
So this is who you really are.
I was wrong about you!
Arrest the wench!
Hold on!
Your Highness, what do you mean by this?
Commandery Princess, the girl offended her superiors.
She should be killed.
Exactly.
Moreover, I must settle my personal grudge with this wench today.
As it so happens, I also have a personal grudge to settle with her.
That's good!
Take her away!
Please halt!
Your Highness, what now?
The girl offended her superiors at Mount Xuanyuan several times.
Now that she has even wounded me, how should I punish her?
If Your Highness trusts me, just leave it to me--
How could I dare to trouble you?
I'm like you. I have to avenge myself.
But this wench was born unruly.
Wouldn't you stain your hands punishing her?
It's exactly because she's tough that she'll be fun to punish.
Moreover, I just saved you.
Are you going to make me look bad?
Jiang Feng!
Your Highness.
I take my leave.
Let's go.
Commandery Princess, her accomplices escaped too.
Useless scum!
What are you still waiting for?
Go after them!
- Yes! - Yes!
Don't bother following us.
I'll leave her to you.
Fu Yao?
Who exactly are you?
That doesn't matter.
What matters is that it isn't safe to come with me.
Prince Lie, I'll have to trouble you.
This morning, I heard...
that Elder Statesman's entire Defense Battalion was deployed.
That's quite an array.
The Defense Battalion is in charge of protecting the nation.
The Slave Arena is operated by the royal family.
It's only right to deploy soldiers to defend it.
But why did I hear that you weren't the one who deployed them?
200 elite soldiers were deployed over of a love affair?
Your Grace, you've always had good judgment.
Have you learned to make groundless accusations too?
The elites of the Defense Battalion were all carefully selected by you.
How could they act so cowardly, facing unarmed slaves?
I heard that three fifths of the slaves escaped from the arena.
Could someone be behind this?
Maybe he plotted their escape to sell them off.
That's would be a huge business deal.
Your Grace, you've made such an effort to speculate.
I believe the case will soon be investigated thoroughly.
Then, we'll know who has been spreading rumors behind my back
to confound others.
Elder Statesman, rest assured.
I'll be sure to do my very best to investigate this case
and clear your name.
Complying with the divine order of nature
the descendant of the royal Xuanyuan lineage
Prince of Xinnan's legal son, Xuanyuan Hui
is hereby anointed as the heir apparent of Taiyuan Kingdom!
He is to inherit the throne and the responsibility of manipulating water!
The heir apparent has arrived!
God bless Taiyuan!
The heir apparent shall lead the ritual!
Kneel!
Bow!
Rise!
Bow again!
Rise!
Bow again!
All rise!
My tutor once taught me how to read celestial signs.
I remember the Purple Forbidden Enclosure.
Your Highness, do you know what it stands for?
Certainly.
The Purple Star isn't on the ecliptic.
It's not listed among the five element stars
so it's called the Emperor Star.
I believe it must've formed to ensure the prosperity of Taiyuan's royal family.
Elder Statesman...
don't you think His Highness has a point?
His Highness has such a fine mind.
What an intelligent youth.
It is truly a blessing to Taiyuan.
There will soon be an official ceremony to announce the anointment.
Officials, we'll need your assistance.
May we host this ceremony in solidarity.
We must uphold the honor of Taiyuan Kingdom!
We're at your service, Your Highness!
The newly anointed heir apparent's ritual to the gods has been concluded!
Your Highness, we see you off cordially.
Your Grace, you've done well.
You safeguarded Taiyuan's royal descendant so discreetly.
I'm really impressed. I really am.
I'm flattered.
You praise me too highly.
Your Grace, well done.
Fu Yao, you're awake.
Where am I?
After the courier inn burned down, Fifth Brother and I moved here.
You haven't eaten for a day.
Have some food.
Leave it to me.
I'm not that fragile.
I can feed myself.
Carefully.
Fu Yao, what's wrong?
I thought too highly of myself.
Just let me take care of you.
How can that not hurt?
You fended off an entire troop by yourself.
Even a piece of metal would have been crushed.
Let alone a person made of flesh and blood.
Were you there when they attacked the arena?
After the courier inn caught fire
we were suddenly being hunted by some assassins.
We finally managed to flee from there
but we heard the Defense Battalion was going to arrest you.
So we rushed to the Slave Arena.
But we couldn't fight our way through at the time.
Fu Yao...
I'm sorry.
If we could've gotten there sooner, you wouldn't be so badly injured.
Silly girl.
Don't I look fine?
Fu Yao, you were really brave!
So many soldiers had you surrounded.
But you didn't panic at all.
Fifth Brother, isn't that right?
Your performance last night could've even put us men to shame.
Are you impressed by a woman now?
I can assure you that you're the most valiant woman he's ever seen.
Don't talk so much.
Let Fu Yao get some rest.
It's all right.
I'm really frustrated now anyway.
It's good that she's keeping me company.
By the way, who was that man you stabbed?
He's a conceited jerk of high status.
Is he?
But I don't think he's a bad person.
If it weren't for him, you would've been arrested.
The three of us might've been dragged away by the soldiers too.
What are you talking about?
Fifth Brother was there too.
Isn't that right?
By the way, don't worry about the Englobement Bell.
Get some rest.
What does that mean?
The Englobement Bell wasn't stolen by the boy who was with you.
I'm afraid he witnessed something he shouldn't have that night.
They took him away.
So you knew all along?
Why did you keep me around then?
I kept you so as to not alert my enemies that I knew.
- You were using me. - Yes.
It was wrong of me to do so.
It was a matter of great importance.
Fifth Brother had to do that until the truth was out.
Fu Yao, you mustn't take it to heart.
Would I be in the mood to be mad at him now?
All I can think about now is Seven.
I can't be at ease until I find Seven.
Get some rest.
Don't brood over it.
If you trust me, I'll help you.
You better go looking for your Englobement Bell instead.
Don't you worry about Seven.
The capital is huge. It can't be easy for you to look for someone on your own.
You should reconsider.
I already have.
I couldn't say for sure before last night.
But after what happened last night, I'm certain I can find Seven.
Do you still feel any pain?
It seems to be much better after applying your medication.
If I had known that you'd recover so quickly
I wouldn't have wasted such good herbs on you.
Young Master, I really can't figure it out.
Why did you do that?
You're so talkative.
Be gentle!
So you do feel pain?
Your master sure is strange.
He's so skilled in martial arts but he went and got himself stabbed.
Then there's the bleeding and infection.
Doesn't that mean you failed to protect him?
Doctor, you've really misunderstood me.
Young Master kept reminding me not to take action without his permission.
Otherwise, would I've let him get hurt?
You're right.
If he wants to dodge, no one can hurt him.
I think that he's impeded by love.
His brain is on the fritz.
I think so too.
Doctor, you're right.
You better be more careful from now on.
You might get stabbed into a sieve.
Are you both done yet?
My clothes.
Aren't you even going to help me get dressed anymore?
Yes.
[Defense Battalion]
Who let you deploy my Defense Battalion?
Taiyuan is facing such chaos.
So many of the officials are watching my every move!
Yet you dared to deploy my battalion for personal use in public!
You made such a huge blunder!
If it were for something else, I wouldn't have gone to such trouble!
But I was hunting down the wench that disfigured me!
Even if I have to dig three feet under, I must find her!
It's nothing more than your looks!
When have I let you down, offering you luxury and the man you want?
The officials discussed this matter today.
How many reports do you think they'll submit to impeach me?
Have you considered that?
All of that aside
those hundreds of men are the confidants I trained and nurtured.
After what you did
it's only a matter of time before I lose authority over the Defense Battalion!
You have caused me great harm!
Uncle, please calm down.
I'm warning you.
If you still won't control yourself, I'll have you taken care of!
Get out!
Young Master Yun, my master is throwing a tantrum right now.
You must talk him out of it.
Young Master Yun, go talk to him.
Godfather, why are you in such a fit of rage?
That mess at the Slave Arena implicated me!
Don't you know about it?
Godfather, you're a man of authority
so it's inevitable that there are many breathing down your neck.
In these times of chaos...
Godfather, it's been tough on you.
I heard from the soldiers of the Defense Battalion
that the heir apparent showed up at the arena.
The heir apparent?
Xuanyuan Min.
He's at the capital?
Where is he now?
It's said that he left with a servant.
The Defense Battalion couldn't catch up with them.
A bunch of idiots.
Take your men and look into this matter to see
if there's more than meets the eye!
Yes!
How is it with Zhan Bei Ye?
None of the assassins we sent last night survived.
The courier inn was burned down.
Where is Zhan Bei Ye?
He's completely unscathed.
Prince Lie of Tiansha is indeed extraordinary.
He's not to be underestimated.
Didn't he say anything?
Prince Lie only sent someone to inform us of the fire.
Several of his men died in the fire.
But he didn't mention anything else.
I heard that he's currently staying at an inn nearby.
He's waiting to hear from you.
Be careful.
I'm all right.
If you don't believe me, I'll show you a few moves.
All right, all right. Please don't.
If you get hurt again, I'll have to look after you.
I won't let you do that.
Stop holding on to me. I can walk on my own.
No way.
Thank you.
There's no need to be so polite.
I had wanted to make you a nice meal but I just couldn't find the time for it.
I'm going to make you a decoction of 10 powerful tonics.
You'll surely recover quickly.
It just occurred to me...
you rarely get to see your Fifth Brother.
You should make him a delicious meal.
Right, you have a point.
Your Fifth Brother is coming, let's go.
Sure, let's go.
- Don't hold on to me. - I insist!
You mean Seven is at the Elder Statesman's manor?
Seven and I have a secret mark.
I saw the mark on the elder statesman's carriage
when I was at the city gate.
Sadly, I couldn't catch up with the carriage at the time.
But I'm positive that he was on that horse carriage then.
Could Pei Yuan have forged it?
Seven and I came up with the mark after we left Mount Xuanyuan.
Unless...
There's only one possibility then.
Pei Yuan saw Seven at the Elder Statesman's manor.
That's how she tricked you into going to the Slave Arena, using his mark.
Both Seven and the Englobement Bell must be there.
Why do you say that?
Tell us!
Why?
Tell us!
The Englobement Bell is an heirloom of the royal Zhan family.
But it's also a demonic object.
It carries intense coldness.
Its coldness can penetrate the organs of humans.
Only descendants of the Zhan family aren't affected by it.
Do you mean...
that whoever stole the bell tied it to Seven?
Then, the thief wouldn't be affected by the bell
but Seven will be the one penetrated by the coldness.
I'm afraid they're keeping the boy for that purpose.
I need to get into the Elder Statesman's manor!
You're in such a reckless state of mind now.
I'm afraid you won't be able to save the one you wish to save.
Instead, you'll just get yourself in trouble too.
Don't be so anxious.
Let me get some information first.
Godfather, what is your opinion?
The competition between Zhan Nan Cheng and Zhan Bei Ye
is Tiansha Kingdom's matter, not Taiyuan's.
Besides, I have kept my promise.
I've done everything I can.
Judging from the current situation...
The King of Tiansha wants his brother dead.
But I want him to live.
Now, King of Tiansha will be wary of me.
We can be acquitted for the attempted assassination.
Godfather, you mean that we should treat him with hospitality?
Exactly!
Treat him with caution and great hospitality!
Yes.
There's one other matter I need you to handle.
Do tell.
Abduct Xuanyuan Hui.
But Xuanyuan Hui was just anointed as the heir apparent.
I also heard that Zhang He Nian has had him well guarded these days.
I'm afraid this isn't the best time to take such an action.
Zhang He Nian has already made him the heir apparent.
Do you want to wait till he takes the throne then?
I understand.
I'll get to it right away.
Get back here!
Did I say you could leave?
How can you act so recklessly?
Yes.
Don't make mistakes again.
Yes!
You can leave.
Master.
Miss Yuwen Zi of the northern frontier's Yuwen Manor is here in the capital.
How should we settle her in?
Do you really need to ask me about such matters?
She's the daughter of an impoverished family.
Just settle her into a random room!
Yes.
Step out now.
Yes, yes.
Watch your step.
Is there any news?
I've asked around.
The Yuwen family of Changning are distant relatives of Qi Zhen.
After the former Prince Wen Yi passed away
they were implicated and exiled to an impoverished area.
Qi Zhen cut off all contact with them.
However, Qi Zhen is a devout believer of fate and fortune.
He cares greatly about birth charts and the Four Pillars of Destiny.
The youngest daughter of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Zi
is said to have a great birth chart.
So her family spent a hefty sum to bribe Qi Zhen's household
to make use of this kinship.
At the moment, Yuwen Zi is on her way to the capital.
She will arrive at the Elder Statesman's manor soon.
You mean... to have me disguised as Yuwen Zi?
You're about the same age as Yuwen Zi.
You have a similar physique.
Besides, Qi Zhen hasn't seen Yuwen Zi since she grew up.
That should help with your disguise.
But I met Qi Zhen at Mount Xuanyuan.
I have a way to tackle that.
It's just that... it's a huge risk to take on such a dangerous man.
It's all comes down to whether or not you have the courage.
There's no other solution.
What I need you to do is to keep the real Yuwen Zi away
keep him from ruining my plan.
The real Yuwen Zi has already eloped with her servant.
Her escorts are scared of getting killed so they have covered up the truth.
If it weren't so, you wouldn't even have this opportunity.
However...
If we were to pull off the disguise... we'll have to ask someone for help.
What? You need to alter your appearance?
If I want to get into the Elder Statesman's manor
I have to disguise myself as Yuwen Zi.
Will it be difficult for you?
Although my family's skills in facial disguise are remarkable
there's one major drawback.
What is it?
It only lasts five days.
If you don't want to give yourself away
you'll need to have another facial disguise.
Five days will be enough.
What if you run out of time?
It's best that I go with you.
That would solve the problem.
How can I ask that of you?
As long as I can be of some help to you, I won't hesitate.
However...
It's just that...
Fifth Brother is the one who came to ask me for help.
He has to agree to one condition!
I'll agree to anything as long as it's within my ability.
You're not to go back on your word.
Just tell us what it is.
Well...
I want you to... give me a kiss.
Right away!
I'm afraid I can't comply with that.
Fifth Brother is always so accommodating.
Surely, you wouldn't blame me.
Little Tail actually has such skill.
I just got out of a tiger's den and now I'm walking into a wolf's lair.
Seven, don't let my efforts go to waste.
[Elder Statesman's Manor]
You must be Miss Yuwen.
Come with me.
Elder Statesman's Manor really is luxurious.
It's no wonder that they say that Qi Zhen is extremely wealthy.
Shush.
She's the commandery princess. Step aside.
Young Mistress.
Why are you dawdling?
Young Mistress, this young lady looks familiar.
Oh?
Turn your face so that I can look at you.
I told you to turn your face to me. Do you hear me?
This is my young mistress, Yuwen Zi.
Yuwen Zi?
What an awful name.
All right.
Don't just stand there.
Come with me.
- See? I told you they won't recognize-- - Shush.
Miss Fu Yao has entered Elder Statesman's manor.
I haven't even had her pay the price for hurting you
and here she comes walking right into the lair.
I'm just worried that you'll get injured again, before you're healed.
I'm the unlucky one who has to treat you.
How do you know that I'll go looking for her?
What do you think?
I'm afraid he won't even be able to fend for himself.
Will you leave her stranded?
Greetings, Housekeeper Wei.
This is the North Quarters.
As Elder Statesman Qi said, you can stay here for now.
If you need anything, feel free to ask the head housemaid, Shi Lan.
Young lady, please come with me.
Hold on.
Elder Statesman's manor never permits outsiders.
You may leave now.
But I have to see to my young mistress.
Elder Statesman Qi set up the rule.
As servants, we have no choice.
Zhu Zhu, head home and tell my parents.
I'll take care of myself.
Young Mistress, you must take good care of yourself.
You mustn't look into the water or mirror.
Anything that reflects light will expose your disguise.
Bear that in mind.
I know.
Young Mistress, take good care of yourself.
Don't lose any weight.
All right now.
Get going.
- Bear it in mind. - Get going.
Young Mistress, take good care of yourself!
Young lady.
Come with me.
[Marquis Wen Zhao's Manor]
[Elder Statesman's Manor]
Zhan Bei Ye said that
the Englobement Bell must be hidden where it won't be easily spotted.
Where is it least likely to be noticed?
Elder Statesman, Master Yun said that he has accomplished his task.
He's now heading back.
I heard you.
Yes.
If it weren't for that pebble
I'd have been spotted by the patrolling guards.
Could someone be pointing me in the right direction?
Who could be helping me?
[Born in the Xinwei Year.]
[Yun Hen]
Doctor Zong.
Has Elder Statesman found a treasure?
It does seem... quite heavy.
It's just some goods from the subordinates.
Oh?
I have to visit Elder Statesman Qi.
I'll take my leave.
Young Master Yun.
May I ask how old you are this year?
I just turned 20.
You were born on the 8th of June.
How did you know that?
It's nothing.
I already told you that you need to nurse that wound.
Not only did you disobey me, you even went running around.
Qi Zhen made quite an effort to win you over.
Look.
All these delicacies.
None of them are seasonal.
Elder Statesman Qi does treat you well.
I'm in luck for good food.
Enough chatter.
Why are you lingering around here?
It's because of you, of course.
I'm the patient.
I need the Divine Physician by my side.
Could you have fallen for that fierce lady who's disguised as Yuwen Zi?
Buddha said, "It can't be said."
I wouldn't even believe it if you were the one to say it.
Tell me.
What does the young lady have that makes you take such a huge risk?
Nothing escapes your eyes.
That girl is looking for the same thing I'm looking for.
The Englobement Bell?
Why bother asking if you know?
Here, have more of this.
Your favorite. Chicken's rear.
No, wrap that up for me.
Jiang Feng likes it. He can have it.
How strange.
Uncle Zhou told me that the quintuple-color stone lifts the spell.
Is this place connected to the spell?
Stop right there!
