[Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty]
[Episode 22]
So many women are in the world.
It's easier
for this romantic prince
to get a woman.
Besides,
his late wife
was sharp-tongued
and arrogant.
Nobody cares if she's gone.
Yin Xiang.
We are brothers.
Calm down.
Yin Xiang.
What are you doing?
Don't get so nervous, Bro Ten.
Don't you want to drink?
Come on.
I can drink with you.
Well?
You scared?
I'll drink with you until the end.
Bro Ten.
Your alcohol tolerance is low.
The other half of the jar
is mine to enjoy.
Give it back.
Okay.
You're also here to pick on me.
How long are you going to be like this?
You can deceive everyone
but not me.
Boring.
The Yin Xiang I know
has never been so battered.
Now she's dead,
you're also dead.
Yin Xiang.
This year's first snow is so heavy.
Do you remember our promise?
How can I get back to you?
Lady,
what are you looking for?
Have you seen my jade ring?
No, I haven't.
I put it in my sleeve.
It's a jade ring on a string.
I really haven't seen it.
My mother saved this for her future daughter-in-law.
Daughter-in-law?
Yes.
Daughter-in-law.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Your Highness?
Address her correctly.
Thank you, mother.
If mother sees us in heaven,
she'd feel so happy.
Keep it well.
It's the only gift I have from Yin Xiang now.
Is the last tie between us
gone as well?
Lady.
No, I must find it.
Lady.
The snow is heavy outside. Get back in.
No.
It must be here.
I won't leave.
Lady.
It's really not here.
No. It must be right here.
Lady.
Go back in.
Don't stop me.
Lady.
It's really not here.
Please go back.
It must be here.
Lady.
Go back in.
It's really not here.
Lady.
It is here.
Lady.
Prince Four.
She insists to look for it.
I can't stop her.
Xiao Wei,
what are you doing?
Xiao Wei,
do you seek death?
Bro Four.
my jade ring is gone.
I remember that it was in my sleeve.
I haven't seen it.
I'll ask people to search for it.
You must return to your room and rest.
Xiao Wei.
Do you have to torture me?
Everyone risked their lives to save you.
Do you have to damage your health
and make those who care about you
worry for you day and night?
I understand.
Even if turning the whole yard upside down,
the jade ring must be found.
Yes, Prince Four.
Bro Four.
I want to ask you another favor.
Just say it.
I'll do anything for you.
I hope you'll bring me the one who means the world to me.
I want to get back to Yin...
I know.
But...
you must get fully recovery here.
I'll make the best arrangements for you.
Trust me.
Alright.
It's a cold day.
Go back in.
Governor of Shandong has submitted many memorials recently,
saying the local bandits have been rioting
and damaging the people's peace.
This group of roving bandits
are gaining more momentum these days.
They even publicly recruited followers
and hoarded weapons.
These bandits must be eradicated as soon as possible.
You're right, father.
We must deal with the matter as soon as possible
to contain the damage.
Which one of you will put down the rebellion?
Father,
I'm willing to take troops there.
In my early years, I travelled around Shandong
thus know well about the local customs.
The bandits usually gather in steep mountain areas
that are easy to defend and hard to attack.
My elite troops mainly come from Sichuan and Guizhou.
They're good at climbing mountains and attacking steep lands.
If I'm entrusted with this mission,
I will not fail you.
Father.
I plead to take troops to suppress the rebellion.
You want to go too?
Yin Xiang is right.
But I'll do my best.
Please give me a chance.
You handle political matters well.
But you lack experience in commanding troops.
It's not a trivial matter. Careful thoughts must be given.
I'm willing to help Bro Eight.
I've been in the army since childhood.
With the strength of Bro Eight and me,
victory shall be guaranteed.
Very good.
Yin Si will take charge of the matter
with Yin Ti helping him.
I will wait for your triumphant return
and reward you handsomely.
Thank you, father.
I accept your edict.
Thank you, father.
I accept your edict.
Congratulations, Bro Eight.
Brothers,
take a seat.
We need to thank Ming Hui this time.
As she expected, father didn't give Yin Xiang military power.
Wise girl,
how did you foresee it?
At this juncture,
it makes no sense for...
His Majesty sending Prince Thirteen to suppress the rebellion.
Ming Hui,
what do you mean by that?
Sensibly,
His Majesty ordered Prince Thirteenss Consort to commit suicide.
More or less,
he'd feel sorry for his son
and refuse to send him on an expedition.
Reasonably,
Prince Thirteenss Consort just died
and Prince Thirteen is emotionally unstable.
The expedition is a dangerous and important mission.
Thinking for the people,
His Majesty would never allow Prince Thirteen
to do it in his current status.
Therefore,
this opportunity
no doubt belongs to us.
Ming Hui,
you're truly brilliant.
When Bro Eight returns with victory
and makes contribution,
he'll prevail over Yin Xiang and others,
and no one will be his rival.
Not really.
Prince Nine,
it's too early to claim no rival.
Prince Thirteen is no longer
grieving over the loss of his wife.
His spirit is lifted already.
Today, he asked to start an expedition at the court .
We must not underestimate him.
Even though we have won this round
and caught His Majesty's attention,
our path is still long.
Prince Thirteen remains to be our biggest obstacle.
Yin Xiang is so annoying.
He just can't be knocked down.
Bro Fourteen,
you're smart.
Work out some ideas.
What should we do with him?
Nothing.
Bro Fourteen,
tell me
what's on your mind.
You're good at plotting against people.
You may be able to figure out everything,
but you don't understand what love is.
Prince Fourteen,
what do you mean?
You underestimate Yin Xiang's love for Xiao Wei.
The depth of his love for her
will never be understood by you.
So, you only see he's back in the game,
but you don't know he's broken inside.
His current status
doesn't pose a threat to you.
You know him so well.
-Do you... -Of course, I know him.
After all, I'm different from you.
Yin Ti's words
remove my worry.
I'm lucky to have a good brother
like Yin Ti to help me
and a heroine
like Ming Hui to offer me advice.
I'll definitely suppress the rebellion
to regain Father's trust.
Ming Hui,
will you come with us on the expedition
and continue to advise me?
Yeah. Yeah.
Come with us.
I'm willing to go with you.
I don't like it, Bro Eight.
You either bring
her or me.
Choose between us.
Bro Fourteen.
You...
Bro Fourteen.
What brought you here?
You, who don't even fear tigers,
repel me so much.
Do you fear me?
You're scarier than a tiger.
I'm scary?
I am what I am now
because you changed me.
Do you remember this blade?
Do you remember
what happened back then?
Hurry.
Run faster.
Hurry.
Come on.
Ming Hui!
Quick! Pick up the blade!
Hurry!
Kill it!
Kill it and we'll live!
If you don't kill it,
neither of us will survive!
Come on!
Do it!
Ming Hui!
Enough.
It's dead.
Enough.
Stop it.
It's dead already.
You're safe.
Enough. Ming Hui.
Enough.
It's dead already.
Eat.
You won't eat?
Fine.
It's tiger meat.
So what?
We still killed it.
The tiger meat
is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.
I regret that I let you stab it.
You regret.
But I should thank you.
I should thank that stab.
You made me know
the pleasure of fighting back and defeat a strong force
in a place ruled by the law of the jungle.
You made me know
I should stop being a concubine's daughter whom anyone can flog.
I should stop living in others' shadows.
I should get things for myself.
Prince Fourteen,
thank you.
You made me what I am today.
It turns out
I'm the cause.
Since then,
destiny has designated us as each other's best partner.
Now,
you have the ambition
and I have the means.
Why let others prevail over us?
You and I
both want this world.
Why not continue to cooperate?
Let me help you.
Back then, I helped you kill a tiger.
Now,
I can help you do more.
Look out for yourself.
Qi Xiang.
Look.
It's cold.
The fire has been out for hours.
Prince Thirteen has been busy with government affairs
every day.
For many times,
he doesn't even know the fire is out.
You'll keep watching tonight.
Keep the fire burning in the brazier.
Got it.
Prince Thirteen,
eat something.

Hang the red satin higher.
OK.
Higher.
Madam.
Here is the menu
for tonight's birthday banquet for Prince Four.
I made it myself.
All the dishes are his favorites.
Tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes in advance.
Yes, Madam.
Hold on.
Tell them not to make Longevity Noodles.
I'll make it myself later.
You treat Prince Four so well.
Madam,
Qi Xiang from Prince Thirteen's is here.
Greetings, Madam.
Today I've come to
talk to Prince Four about something.
He should be in the study now.
You'll find him there.
Take Qi Xiang there.
Yes.
Thank you, Madam.
This way, Qi Xiang.
What brought you
here suddenly, Qi Xiang?
Prince Four,
when will Prince Thirteenss Consort come back?
Why do you ask this?
Prince Thirteen's situation is getting worse.
Yin Xiang?
What's wrong with him?
What do you mean by that?
He misses Madam like crazy.
He seemed to pulled himself together,
but he's only pretending to be strong.
In fact, he's worse than a walking corpse.
The situation is aggravating.
I don't know how long he can hold on.
I'm worried that he might not make it.
The only one who can save him
is Prince Thirteenss Consort.
Prince Four
when Madam will
come back to Prince Thirteen?
She's not healed yet.
We might need to wait a little longer.
More waiting?
Alright.
Your brotherly love for each other is strong.
Please do your best to help Prince Thirteenss Consort
get better as soon as possible,
so she can come back to him.
Prince Four
Prince Thirteen's life is in your hands.
I know.
Thank you, Prince Four.
For Prince Four's birthday,
you have put your secret recipes.
This dish took a long time to prepare.
Prince Four will definitely like it.
Prince Four always likes my dishes.
Surely, he will enjoy eating today.
Prince Four has been busy with government affairs
without meals and sleep on time.
He should be nourished carefully.
Quan'er.
Prepare a horse.
Aye.
Prince Four,
you're going out now?
The dishes have been served.
Eat before you leave.
I have urgent business, so I can't make it.
Come back early tonight.
Our family hasn't got together for a long time.
On the occasion of your birthday,
Sisters and I
have prepared a feast for you.
Please come back early
and celebrate with us.
I might not come back tonight.
But...
This is your birthday banquet.
We started preparing it one month ahead.
Yeah.
We made all your favorite dishes.
You may eat them.
Got to go.
Servants.
Take all the dishes away.
Dump them!
Sister,
don't be upset.
I think he really has urgent business.
How many days must I drink the medicine?
According to the prescription,
it will last for the middle of next month.
Lady,
bear with the bitterness.
It's alright.
Today is the end of this month.
It'll be over soon.
Today is the 30th day of October?
Yes.
What's wrong?
Today is Bro Four's birthday.
Nothing.
Yin Xiang held his birthday banquet every year.
But this year...
Prince Four.
Bro Four.
Why are you here?
To bring you the medicine.
Here.
I found some prescriptions in the palace
that can strengthen your energy.
I also fetched some tributary tonics.
The usage and dosage of them
have been written down.
By the way,
this is the tributary white honey from the northeastern land Wula.
Your medicines are bitter.
After drinking medicine,
you may eat this to get rid of the bitterness.
Thank you.
You should have asked a servant to send these things.
Isn't today your birthday?
Why didn't you stay at home and hold a banquet?
With government affairs,
I can't go home.
So I came by with the medicines.
Besides,
I'm not three years old.
Birthday celebration doesn't matter to me.
If you don't mind,
stay and dine with me
to celebrate your birthday.
Alright.
Today is your birthday.
Allow me to toast you with tea instead of liquor for three times.
Alright.
The first toast
is to wish you a happy birthday
and a happy future.
Good.
The second toast
is to, on behalf of myself
and Yin Xiang,
thank you for risking your life to save me
and turned everything to a favorable direction.
Good.
The third toast
is to wish you prestige, power
and a life with realized dreams
and everything you want.
Everything I want?
Me?
Can I have that?
You're gifted in governance.
And you care about this country.
If you work hard enough,
you'll win the throne.
Can you feel
what I want?
Or are you feigning ignorance?
Lady,
the cake you made is ready.
I don't know how to make Longevity Noodles.
I wanted to make a cake.
But the materials is limited.
I have to replace it with a steamed rice cake.
Bro Four.
Try it.
Xiao Wei.
Don't leave me.
Bro Four..
You've drunk too much.
Don't call me Bro Four.
I never wanted to be your Bro Four.
Xiao Wei.
Don't you know
what I have done for you?
You're not the old you anymore.
Now things are back to their starting point.
You can choose again.
And I can get
everything I lost back.
This time,
I won't let you go easily.
Unhand me!
Xiao Wei.
I'm sorry.
Maybe
you hate my guts now.
But I'm well aware of
all my feelings.
Therefore,
I do not regret.
Bro Four,
no matter then or now,
I can't accept your love.
Because Yin Xiang is the only man I love.
Leave.
It turns out
Bro Four still hasn't moved on from me.
His feeling is still strong.
If I continue to stay here,
I will stir him up.
Bro Four is a gentleman.
But if he loses control like today,
it'll be too late to fix the situation.
Xiao Wei.
I'm sorry.
Give me a few more days.
Lady,
today is a fine day.
We can come out and take a walk.
Why are so many people here?
And the carriage.
Is a guest coming?
It's a doctor from the town.
Prince Four is sick.
So, a doctor is invited this morning.
He...
How is he?
He's alright.
Just a cold.
A few doses will heal him.
We just don't have
the right medicine here.
So,
we need to send someone to go
with the doctor to fetch the medicine in the town.
Fetch the medicine in the town.
Are you the one who will fetch the medicine?
Then what are you waiting for?
Get in the carriage.
Bro Four.
Don't blame me.
Where did the carriage go?
Lady.
Have you seen the lady?
I don't see the lady
or the doctor's carriage.
Oh no.
What's wrong?
I have to inform Prince Four.
What's wrong?
Well? Get one?
Lower the price.
We're a small business.
Give me a lower price.
Check this out.
Trinkets.
Steamed buns.
Warm steamed buns.
What do you want?
Mister,
do you escort goods to the capital?
We do.
Well, you need to transport some goods?
I don't have goods.
I just want a ride.
Here is a bracelet.
It's worth some money.
I can make fires and cook
for you on the way.
I won't cause trouble.
Alright.
You may leave with the fleet later.
Yes.
Thank you.
Make way. Make way.
Hold on. Stop right here.
We're doing a search.
Go.
I have a pain in my stomach.
Can I go inside and relieve myself?
Go. Go.
Hurry.
Search the place carefully.
We have searched the front. Not there.
Check the outside.
Got it.
Alright.
-Take it away. -How is it going?
Prince Four, here are the escorts scheduled to leave for the capital.
After questioned,
they said they didn't see any suspicious woman.
Fine.
Have you searched the boxes?
I...
Do you want me to open them one by one?
Yes.
Xiao Wei.
Do you fear me that much?
Prince Four.
Are we still searching for the woman?
No. Withdraw the troop.
Yes.
Take an elite troop with you
and make sure this escort fleet arrives in the capital safely.
Yes.
Bro Four.
Thank you.
