[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 24]
My King, she must have drugged me!
It must be her! You did it!
Pu Ruo, you must've misunderstood me.
How could I have drugged you?
I asked the maids who are attending to us today.
A-Xiu said that right before my dance performance
her personal maid was looking for some earrings!
She even bribed her with a gold leaf!
She must've drugged the wine when A-Xiu wasn't looking!
My King!
I really am innocent!
I...
I don't know anything at all!
This...
Huan'er, tell us!
Is Consort of Virtue telling the truth?
Report everything you saw to the king!
My King!
I did lose my young mistress's earrings.
It's also true that I asked A-Xiu to help me look for them.
But My King, I really didn't drug the wine!
However...
Just say it!
My King, when A-Xiu and I were looking for the earrings
we saw Consort of Benevolence rushing over here.
I even saw that she seemed to have put something in the wine.
You mean to say that I drugged the wine?
Do you know that you can be sentenced to death for falsely accusing consorts?
I wouldn't dare to do so!
Huan'er, that's enough!
My King!
This is all my fault!
My King, just punish me!
Young Mistress, what wrong have you done?
I saw that-- Right...
Consort of Benevolence spilled wine on her clothes.
I wouldn't dare to lie.
If I'm lying, I'll be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!
My King!
My King.
I did tip over the wine jug.
I also touched the jug.
The wine probably got on my clothes.
But I could never stoop to drugging anyone!
My King, they must have ganged up to drug me!
They're in this together!
Consort of Virtue, you really are interesting.
If they ganged up to drug you
you'd be able to secure your spot as queen.
You--
Nonsense!
In my opinion
if Consort Tang and Consort Yuwen are to be suspected of drugging the wine
then so are you.
Why would I drug myself?
I just told you the reason.
My King, she's talking gibberish!
Consort of Honor does have a point.
At the rate, this case may be hopeless.
Why don't we discuss this some other day?
You mustn't!
My King! If we are to get to the bottom of this case
I have a solution!
Use the Aquatic Spirit Mirror!
The Aquatic Spirit Mirror?
My King, the Aquatic Spirit Mirror can reflect one's past.
It can show up to 12 seasons, 12 years, 12 hours, and 24 hours!
It depends on what it reflects.
But the books don't say how we can look
into what happened just two hours ago.
Midday Bug!
My King, there's the Midday Bug.
In order to use the Aquatic Spirit Mirror
I had my servants look up the books.
It says on the book that the Midday Bug only survives for 12 hours.
If we place it before the mirror
anyone who did something wrong will be exposed.
But...
Even if that's the case...
where can we find the Midday Bug?
This is the first time I've heard of such a strange bug.
My King!
I have one!
My King, I have a Midday Bug.
Veteran Scholar Chen, you...
What a coincidence!
My King, I'm fond of raising insects.
The Midday Bug makes a very beautiful sound.
I send my servants to catch them in the woods every day.
I carry one with me every day.
I beseech you, My King, to use this Midday Bug to seek out the culprit!
Examine it. Quickly.
My King, I am willing to go first
so as to prove my innocence.
Go ahead.
My King, Pu Ruo didn't drug herself.
It's very clear in the mirrors.
Prince of Xiping, you're too sensitive.
I already told you, Consort of Virtue couldn't have done it.
All right, I had myself tested.
Who will go next? Consort of Prestige or Consort of Benevolence?
My King, I think that instead of testing Consort of Prestige
it's better to have her maid, Huan'er, tested.
My King, this is...
In terms of rank, the Consort of Benevolence should go first.
If she's cleared, Huan'er can be tested.
Although this facial disguise can fool the human eye
to hide your true appearance
you must avoid looking into mirrors as they will reflect your real face.
Is Consort of Benevolence afraid of being found out?
Ingot! Ingot!
Ingot!
Who... Who can catch him for me?
The Aquatic Spirit Mirror!
My Aquatic Spirit Mirror!
Don't step on Ingot!
- Calm down. - Ingot!
- Guards! - Calm down.
Calm down?
How outrageous!
The Aquatic Spirit Mirror!
My Aquatic Spirit Mirror!
How absurd!
Arrest her!
Yes!
My King, why are you arresting me?
If you hadn't startled my beloved pet
would the Aquatic Spirit Mirror have gotten smashed?
Even if you aren't the one who drugged the wine
you should still be held responsible for breaking a treasure!
Guards!
Arrest Yuwen Zi!
Throw her into Cuiliang Hall!
No one is allowed to let her out without my permission!
My King, I'm innocent!
Take her away!
I won't let you do that.
My King, as for choosing the queen--
Choosing the queen?
After what just happened, you want me to anoint a queen?
Tell me! Who should I choose as my queen?
My King, you're wise!
Anointing the Queen of Taiyuan is a very serious matter.
You mustn't rush the decision.
You'll have pay respects to your ancestors in Changyuan.
My King, you can take a few days to consider it.
It won't be too late to decide after you return from the ritual.
Elder Statesman Qi has a point!
You're all dismissed!
My King, we cordially see you off!
Do you know how you'll be punished for defying orders
and taking action without permission?
Please punish me, Young Master.
I was actually going to punish you severely.
But when I saw Fu Yao, I just couldn't get mad at you.
I'll let you owe me one for now.
Listen, I will be in Changyuan for three days to complete the ritual.
Keep a close eye on her then.
Should anything happen to her, I'll hold you responsible.
Young Master, are you trying to protect her
by sending her to Cuiliang Hall?
It's also to make Qi Zhen send her to my side sooner.
You'd even risk your life for the sake of a lowly slave.
So much for your utter devotion to her.
Unfortunately, she's already sleeping in the king's palace.
She's King of Taiyuan's woman.
Are you going to silence me?
Don't make me do it!
It's not even warm out here.
Why are you sweating so much?
Don't act like a lunatic!
A lunatic?
You're the lunatic here.
It has always been you.
It's Yan Jing Chen.
You--
What did you...
What kind of witchcraft did you use on me?
How could I use witchcraft on you?
I just wanted to wipe the sweat off for you.
I just happened to smear some valerian root on my handkerchief.
You...
You've been acting against me.
I'm acting against that wench.
You--
How could I possibly hurt you?
I know that you don't like Pei Yuan.
Especially now that she's disfigured.
She used to be just a bit willful, but now she's ruthlessly vengeful.
I know that it's tough on you, marrying such a woman.
But you must bear with it.
You have to put up with her till the time is ripe.
Relationships are just a way to make use of one another.
You're marrying her for her family's political influence.
Once you've secured your position at the capital
judging by Pei Yuan's personality
she will only do you more harm than good.
Then, the Soul-splitting Powder will come in handy.
Father, are you telling me to--
Just keep one matter in mind.
You must act cautiously.
Once you use that powder, you must find a scapegoat.
If they don't suspect you of killing her
her death will win you everyone's sympathy.
Such sympathy will bring you even more opportunities.
How could I possibly hurt you?
I really didn't drug the wine.
You don't have to grab me.
I can walk on my own.
It hurts!
Don't drag me.
Hold on!
The king has an oral decree for Her Ladyship.
You're dismissed.
That gave me such a fright.
You should know what my young master means to do.
If he'd set that naughty mouse loose a second later, I'd be in trouble.
Thank him for me.
Miss Fu Yao, you really are smart.
By the way, Young Master will be away in Changyuan for the ritual.
He won't be in the palace.
You'll have to put up with it for a few days.
But why did he choose Cuiliang Hall?
Young Master said that as long as you keep this pouch on you
Cuiliang Hall is the safest place in the palace.
Your Ladyship, Cuiliang Hall is regarded as the Cold Palace.
If we go any further, I'm afraid we'll violate the rules.
You... should head in on your own.
Pei Yuan!
What are you doing?
Let me go this instant!
What's the rush?
A-Lie.
Bring it here.
Soul-splitting Powder.
Does it sound familiar to you?
Chief Yan handed this lethal drug to you
so that you could kill me when there's a chance.
So you knew all along.
But... but I didn't use it!
That's why you managed to survive to this day.
I thought you didn't use it
because you actually cared about me.
But it seems that I was wrong.
As long as that wench lives
you'll never be truly devoted to me.
I don't know what you're talking about!
Come have a look.
Who is this?
Fu Yao?
Fu Yao!
You... What did you do to her?
That sounds so heartbreaking.
What's the matter?
Doctor Zong said that I contracted a contagious illness
at the hunting grounds and that it can be passed on through direct contact.
I'm worried that Elder Statesman...
Moreover, I'm ugly and was born with a birthmark on my face.
I'm worried that I might give you a fright.
How can a person have two faces?
That's no ordinary facial disguise.
I seem to have seen the other face somewhere before.
Could I be mistaken?
- Wei Chuan. - Present.
Master.
Is there anyone left in Yuwen Zi's family in Changning?
Master, after Yuwen Zi married into the palace
everyone in the Yuwen family was killed, according to your orders.
How could she have any family left?
Indeed.
I was worried that once Yuwen Zi acquires power
her family in Changning would stir up unnecessary trouble.
Now, we're in a fix.
There's no one left to identify her.
- Wei Chuan. - Yes.
I'd like you to handle a matter personally.
Sure.
Stop it!
This is all my fault!
Do you feel bad for her?
Then she should die all the more!
It's my fault!
Don't kill her!
Stop it!
I was wondering why I had such trouble sleeping lately.
I guess it's all thanks to those I don't wish to see being here.
Don't bother struggling.
I drugged you with the Paralysis Powder.
However highly skilled you might be, you'll lose all your strength.
Senior Pei.
Don't you want to fight me fair and square?
Fair and square?
You're not fit to fight fair and square.
Do you still remember this blade?
You ruined me with this blade.
You ruined me and my husband!
Pei... Pei Yuan!
Pei Yuan, listen to me!
If you keep speaking up for this wench, I'll really kill her!
You might as well let me have it.
Let you have it?
Even in my dreams, I see myself seeking revenge.
Do you think I'd let you die easily?
I want you to be as miserable as I am.
No.
I want you to be even more miserable!
So you still haven't figured out who did that to your face?
Forget it.
I was too careless today.
What do you want to do with me?
Do you want to disfigure me too?
I did think of doing that.
But I've changed my mind.
Let's play a more exciting game.
Today, only one of you will survive.
My dear, will you take this Soul-splitting Powder
or will that lowly slave?
Pei Yuan...
Why would you do this?
Do you want to die in her place?
I...
Pei Yuan, I... I was wrong.
I really was.
I didn't... cherish you.
But I've thought it through now.
You're the only one who is truly devoted to me.
I...
We'll lead a happy life.
I'll never let you down again!
Pei Yuan!
All right.
Then kill her right now.
Sure.
I'll kill her.
I'll do it.
I'll kill her.
I'll be watching.
Don't try to play any tricks.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how... it ended up like this.
Fu Yao, run!
Run!
Do you think she can escape from this room?
Fine!
Since one of us has to die...
I will!
No!
Senior Yan!
Will my death ensure that Fu Yao lives?
Senior Yan...
Senior Yan!
Fu Yao!
Fu Yao! Run!
Run!
I'm begging you...
Just let it go. Please?
Just let go of your grudges!
You'd rather die than hurt her?
Why are you so silly?
Do you know what the consequences are?
Why is it so hard for you to love me?
Just let it go.
Pei Yuan...
Senior Yan...
I can't just let it go.
Pei Yuan...
I can't let it go!
I'll kill you!
A-Lie...
Your face... I was the one who disfigured it.
Why?
Because you've never treated me like a human being.
I grew up with you.
I dedicated myself to looking after you.
But what about you?
You treated me worse than a dog!
You only got... what you deserved.
And you two...
Don't think that I'm helping you!
I hate...
I hate every one of you!
I want all of you dead.
- Die! - Don't!
Fu Yao!
Pei Yuan!
Senior Yan...
I hate you...
Senior Yan! Senior Yan!
Fu Yao...
Do you know that... the poison of the Drunken Crabapple is very special?
It freezes one's heart, causing imminent death.
Today...
I'll die right here, by your side.
My heart will be frozen.
In my next life...
I will only remember you.
Fu Yao...
Hearing you call me Senior Yan again...
How lovely.
I've made so many mistakes all my life...
There's only one thing I did right.
Loving... you.
I will always love you.
If... If we...
If we could return to Mount Xuanyuan...
wouldn't that be great?
Are you all right?
- I'm fine. - Here.
I'll teach you.
Look, the stars are so pretty tonight.
Senior Yan! Senior Yan...
[Elder Statesman's Manor]
Yun!
Yun.
Hold on.
Look!
You're asking to be beaten up!
You were away for three years and you've improved in martial arts.
But you're still not up to scratch.
When you used the stance, Crane in Clear Springs
I blocked it with my backhand.
You should've struck me with the Moon Under Blossom Shade.
Then you can move with your left palm and balance with a right punch.
No one would be able to counter that.
Wouldn't you have won?
Don't cry!
I know why you're angry.
You're mad at me for not letting you get away that day.
You're mad at me for knocking you out to bring you home.
Am I right?
I only meant well!
You mean well?
If you meant well, you never should have brought me home!
I ran... I ran only because I'm sick of living a life with an imminent end!
Staying here in the Elder Statesman's manor
I have to do everything as arranged by my father.
I can only live by his preferences and dislikes.
This is so unfair!
If I'd never been out in the world
and knew nothing of how exciting it is out there
it might be fine but now...
I'm really envious of the children from ordinary families.
They can lead the life they want.
They can choose to lead the life they want.
That's because you've become unruly!
Godfather.
You don't know that I mean well.
Godfather, she's actually--
Stop crying.
Yun, you've always been frail and sickly.
You wouldn't have survived if you weren't closely cared for.
I didn't expect you to bear a grudge for sending you away to learn a skill.
Not only did you get so unruly
you even learned to cook in the kitchen like some lowly servant.
You call them lowly?
Don't eat anything then!
There's so much smoke and grease in the kitchen.
How is that a place for a noble lady?
How is that appropriate?
I'm not appropriate!
I simply like to stay there!
Not only am I going to stay right in the kitchen
but I'm also going to invite people you deem lowly to dinner!
I'll cook for all those who show up!
Are you talking back at me?
Why are you behaving like this?
I'll--
Go ahead and hit me!
Go on!
All you do is get mad at me!
All you do is put a rein on me!
You never let me do anything...
I'm just like your dog!
Rather than living like this, it would've been better to just die when I was young.
This is even worse than death!
Yun! Where are you going?
Yun!
Summon Doctor Zong!
Yes!
Yun...
Yun?
Doctor Zong.
Please.
Divine Physician Zong, she's my only child.
Please save her.
I'll do my best.
Young Mistress has been severely ill since she was a child.
She had death knocking on her door several times.
Am I right?
She couldn't have survived to this age by the means of man.
There must be some sacred object that's helping her?
However powerful that might be, it's still an external force.
She might survive but it won't rid her of the illness.
Young Mistress just had a relapse.
I'm afraid it will only put her in more danger.
Doctor, please do all that you can.
I will surely reward you handsomely.
You're too kind.
I'm not used to having people around when I'm treating patients.
Please wait outside.
Of course.
Doctor, Yun is a kind girl.
Please treat her with care.
You're all dismissed.
