Under The Power
Episode 35
The things I told you to prepare
have you finished them?
Please rest assured, I've already finished preparing them.
Miss Yuan.
My lady wants to invite you to her room.
My lady, Miss Yuan is here.
You were looking for me?
Can we talk for a little while?
Your face
is so handsome.
If you really were a man
it would be so wonderful.
You didn't call me here
just to
talk about this, did you?
I was wide awake last night.
You are a girl,
so you should know
the meaning of marriage
to women.
I was deep in thought last night.
Now I understand.
From the beginning,
it was only me who
always thought that I was right
and led our relationship to become like this.
I really regret it now.
That's why
I want, before I get married,
to make up with you.
No matter what
you are the first person
that I liked.
Miss Min,
I hid my true gender as a girl before
and made it so you couldn't get out of this marriage.
You
really don't hate me?
It's okay,
whether it's love or hatred.
After today,
you and I will never have the opportunity to see each other again.
You do know that
I'm a lady who was born from a loving family,
but no matter how much love I've received,
as a female
I never had any authority,
and couldn't inherit the family's tradition or be the pride of our family.
Between my little brother and I
my parents always choose him.
Do you want to escape from the marriage?
I can help you.
Escape from the marriage?
Can I really escape?
I have already thought it through clearly anyway.
Whom I marry is not important
Women have always been like this.
None of them has the right to choose for themselves.
If you really want to help me,
then drink this cup of liquor with me.
All our enmity will vanish into thin air.
So,
think of it as fulfilling a wish for me.
What's wrong?
Are you afraid of being poisoned?
I hope after you get married,
everything will be alright and all of your wishes will be fulfilled.
Please rest assured.
After you get married
all of your wishes will be fulfilled.
What are you talking about?
This liquor...
Chunyu...
Didn't you say that you would help me?
Now I'm giving you the chance.
You'll marry Sima Chang'an in my place.
Chunyu Min.
Miss
Mistress said that the bride-welcoming party are almost here.
Doing this to Miss Yuan,
-Isn't it... -Stop talking
Help me change her costume, quickly!
Go and see if your lady has finished preparing.
It's almost time.
Yes.
My lady,
the bride-welcoming party is here.
Okay.
Go and find my father.
Just do as I told you.
If my cousin had agreed to help
with the Lu family's power
this problem would have been easily solved.
But he
would rather I live on with another's name
than lend a hand.
It's all because of you.
It's your fault.
Master, Madam!
There's a problem!
Lady...
What's wrong with her?
We are all family members,
just spit it out.
Lady...
She was so deep in grief,
that she passed out crying.
This...
Why are you still standing here?
Call a doctor quickly!
Wait.
Min has just passed out temporarily.
She'll get better in a while.
We can't miss the auspicious hour.
But she passed out.
How can we perform the matrimonial ceremony?
We will carry her on the wedding carriage to the Sima's mansion.
Then the ceremony will be half done.
If it's not acceptable,
we will perform the matrimonial ceremony tomorrow.
This is so sudden.
Please pardon us, my son-in-law.
Today,
I have to marry her no matter what.
Your offer
is acceptable to me.
Just set your plan in motion.
So our child's problem is...
Father-in-law please rest assured.
After our wedding,
I will assign someone
to withdraw the lawsuit.
Thank you for your generous help.
Return to the mansion.
Where is Jinxia?
Let's go.
My lady,
find some place to hind.
If Master find out,
your plan will be ruined.
Okay.
Go back and pack all your things first.
If my parents find out,
just say that you didn't know anything.
If there is any news from Sima's mansion,
tell me immediately.
Got it.
Things are going to get interesting now.
Are all
of the reports here?
Yes, Your Majesty. They're all here.
Your Majesty.
Recently nothing of great importance has happened.
About the South-east coast.
Now, with both Wu Shouxu
and Yu Dayong manning the defenses,
the Japanese pirates
have suffered continuous defeats
and have retreated back into the sea.
We haven't heard anything from them since.
Please don't worry.
If that priest is not mistaken,
then the Jiangzhe region really has experienced paranormal phenomenon.
These reports
should have been handed in a long time ago, shouldn't they?
Yes, emperor.
I,
also thought that he had some skill.
Now I think about it,
he was wrong.
I always thought he was useful,
it turns out
he is just someone that uses Taoists reputation
to trick people out of money.
He is all about money.
Please don't be mad, Your Majesty.
I will assign somebody
to arrest that fraud.
Ignore him.
Just get back that jade which was bet on
and order him to leave the capital immediately.
Yes.
Please don't worry.
After you get married
all of your wishes will be fulfilled.
I've been righteous all my life
and now I am trapped.
I have to take advantage of this and escape quickly.
That's strange.
They sell salt, don't they?
They're not officers.
Why are there so many guards?
This is the land contract
for the western stables of the Chunyu family.
This has been planned for a long time.
Nothing can go wrong.
Otherwise,
your life will be in danger.
Please don't worry.
I'll do this satisfactorily.
What are you doing?
Just opening the windows to let some air in.
Seize her!
Yes.
Master Lan,
do you know what I am here for?
The bet between you and the emperor is due
but in the Jiangzhe region
nothing strange has happened.
That's why the emperor told me
to take back the jade.
I will tell you this, Master Lan.
Please pack your things immediately
and leave the capital to save your own skin.
Nothing strange?
No chance.
How dare you?
You dare doubt that the emperor is telling the truth?
Please don't be angry.
Of course the emperor isn't lying.
But someone might have lied to him,
isn't that possible?
What do you mean?
I've just made some predictions.
The strange phenomenon in the Southeast did occur,
but the emperor didn't receive any reports.
Maybe someone has covered the truth,
and intentionally lied to him.
You can't say such nonsense.
If your prediction is wrong,
brat,
you will be beheaded, do you know that?
I will use my head as a bet
and hope that the emperor
will assign someone to investigate the Jiangzhe region.
If I lose
then you can
have my head.
You dare make such a serious bet?
Damn it!
If I didn't have to wear this costume, I would have escaped already.
Master,
your bride is waiting for you inside.
Well done.
Yan Shifan?
Miss Yuan?
Have you found Constable Yuan?
Not yet.
That's strange.
Where could she be?
Where's Xie Xiao?
Didn't Jinxia go to see him?
Young Master Xie hasn't seen her all day.
Today is Min's wedding.
Jinxia likes lively occasions.
This is not like her at all.
I asked people in the mansion
whether or not they had seen Constable Yuan.
Some of them said that
they saw Constable Yuan with Yuan Yang.
I asked her
and she said that Constable Yuan had already
told her to wish Miss Min
a happy and long marriage
and she hasn't seen her since.
When did you ask Yuan Yang?
Not long ago.
Yuan Yang is Min's personal maid.
Why didn't she come with Min?
Also,
knowing Jinxia's personality,
she must have known about
Min's forced marriage.
But she still came and congratulated her?
Have you come up with something?
The person who married Sima Chang'an wasn't Min.
It was Jinxia.
Let's go, to Sima's mansion.
Why are you here?
I'm curious too.
Why are you here in my wedding room?
Sima Chang'an?
How can he be you?
In some sense he is.
Sir Yan,
that, I...
It's not like that.
Please help me loosen the knot.
I'm not your bride.
You shouldn't be in such a hurry.
Now you tell me first.
If you are not my bride,
then why are you here?
And where has my bride gone?
I don't know.
I was drugged
by your bride.
I...
I just woke up here.
I really don't know
why she did it.
Really?
Then why
wherever I go,
do I always bump into you?
Why are you following me?
I...
I don't want to keep bumping into you either.
But who knew there would be all these coincidences?
You are Sima Chang'an.
Please let me go.
You won't be honest with me?
I have ways to get the truth out of you.
No, I answered properly.
Sir Yan.
Please let me go.
What do you want?
Talk!
Why are you here?
No.
At times you're Sir Yan,
and other times you're Sima Chang'an.
You hide your true identity.
You fake being a ghost.
You want to mess with me?
Okay.
What do you want?
Yan Shifan,
you're insane!
You'd better let me go.
Every minute of the first wedding night is precious.
If you marry me
shouldn't making love to me be normal?
Make love my foot!
Will you tell me or not?
Please save me.
Stop!
What do you want?
Sir Yan.
Why are you here?
What now?
Why are you here and messing around in my room?
Get out!
I was wondering who was the insolent one.
Turns out it's Assistant Lu.
You come to my wedding room in the middle of the night.
Is it something important?
Wedding room?
Where's Sima Chang'an?
It's so boring in this capital,
so I changed my identity
for a little fun.
This…
The Embroidered Uniform Guards care about this too?
I have no right to interfere
in Sir Yan's personal business.
But at the wedding today
the bride was swapped,
so naturally it is null and void.
Miss Yuan,
I am taking home.
What does Assistant Lu mean?
I've rightfully married her.
What right do you have to take her?
Sir Yan,
I don't understand what you just said.
The person you wanted to marry was Chunyu Min
not Yuan Jinxia.
If you know it was a mistake
of course you have to correct it.
You don't need me to remind you right, Sir Yan?
If your identity as Sima Chang'an is fake
then you don't have the right to change the four pillars of destiny
and make the marriage registration.
Your marriage with Chunyu Min
will naturally be cancelled.
Sir Yan.
Think carefully about this.
You make some sense.
But do I, as Yan Shifan,
need a marriage registration for the woman I want?
Assistant Lu.
Now…
I'm actually interested
what a woman who can make Assistant Lu
risk anything for
is actually like?
Lu Yi,
think carefully.
Do you really want to
go against me
because of her?
Since I am here today,
this person
is leaving with me.
Yan Feng,
let them go.
Master,
you're just letting them go like that?
The future is long
and I still have chance to deal with him.
Sir.
Thank you for today.
I had thought that
I wouldn't be able to escape this time.
At the time when I was at my most desperate,
you appeared.
Because I offended him.
Was it worth it?
I can bear him stepping all over me,
but I cannot
allow him to hurt you.
I used to think about
the woman I would spend the rest of my life with
and have children with.
What would she be like?
I never expected that,
that person would be you.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards are the most trusted soldiers of the emperor.
The emperor loves his people like his own children.
How can you be so rude?
Sir,
please don't go!
Sir.
I think you're scarier than a ghost.
Now we have enough witnesses and evidence.
You really think that I am complimenting you?
Witnesses and evidence?
So you're just someone who goes against his own speech
and changes the truth like that?
If you want to leave that quickly
then give me the medicine.
I hope that Sir Lu
can be happy
and smile every day.
Don't be so emotionless all the time.
Sir,
you can't lose something this important.
Sir please don't worry.
I will help you survive.
Sir.
If I really die,
please don't feel guilty.
I'm willing to do it.
With your skills in martial arts
maybe we can still climb up.
We will stay alive together.
I have given you the rope.
You're not allowed to die.
Only the sound of the Chinese zither can reach my heart.
Sir,
the bride is back.
Come here.
Son-in-law,
this was because my daughter doesn't know how to behave
and likes to mess around.
Please pardon us, Son-in-law.
That...
My daughter's problem...
Get out!
Come over here!
Do you know who I am?
You are quite brave, I must say.
You dared trick me like that.
I'll never do it again.
Please spare me.
Spare you?
I married you in a formal wedding.
Tell me why
I should spare you?
I can bear him stepping all over me
but I cannot
allow him to hurt you.
That wasn't a dream then.
I am so liked by people,
that it's not strange that Sir Lu loves me.
That's right.
Damn it!
You all deserve death.
You have some nerve.
Something this serious.
It happened over a week ago now
but the Prefect of Wu District didn't report it.
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
According to my investigation
this happened due to vested interests,
which led to fighting and dispute over the land
of the civilians in Wu District and Kang District.
The number of injured people is not less than ten thousand.
Because of this,
the Prefect of Wu District reported it to the court,
but he doesn't know why the report was thrown out.
The Prefect of Wu District
didn't receive a response from the court,
so he invited the Grand Coordinator of the Zhejiang region
and assigned troops to suppress them.
The problem is under control now.
Such a serious problem.
Who would
deliberately detain this?
You have to investigate this thoroughly
and don't spare anyone.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This Master Lan,
really has some virtues.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I won't hide anything from you.
I asked Commander Lu
to look into Master Lan's origins.
That's right.
And?
Your Majesty,
Lan Qingxuan's parents passed away when he was young,
then he was adopted by Master Yuanming.
He studied the ways of the Tao seriously.
After 18, he left Danqing Taoist Temple
and has been living a hermit's life.
He can be dissolute and profligate,
but his devotion is undeniable.
He is protected by Sir Yang Ming.
Excellent.
No sins committed,
and a student of the religious ways.
Li Fang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Invite Master Lan to the palace
to meet me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What are you thinking about?
It's nothing.
Ah, right...
I heard some servants say that
Master Chunyu brought Chunyu Min to Sima's mansion.
That's true.
Although Yan Shifan faked being Sima Chang'an,
she is married properly
and her parents agreed to it.
So even I couldn't
do anything about it.
Then we will report
that Sima Chang'an and Yan Shifan are the same person.
Maybe it can help change something?
Have you forgotten?
There is still Chunyu Kai.
If her parents
do not change their minds,
it won't mean anything.
What should we do now?
No matter what, she is your cousin.
Even though she is my cousin
I have done everything I could for her.
She wasn't grateful for it,
and even dared hurt the ones I love.
Of course I would protect you.
Sir,
if one day I do something wrong
will you be fair and just?
Of course.
That's why
you should behave well.
Whatever I tell you in the future,
you have to follow it.
Then you won't make any mistakes.
It's just that...
Yan Shifan
faked being Sima Chang'an,
was something I never expected.
That's right.
When I realized that he was the groom
I was scared silly.
Moreover, before Chunyu Min
he had already married two other women.
Could it be that
he likes to collect beautiful girls?
But Yan Shifan
can have any girl he wants.
Why did he come to Hangzhou
and pretend to be a business man?
Sometimes he turns up looking ugly,
sometimes he organizes the Zanhua festival
and marries common girls.
I really don't understand.
Maybe it's because in his role as an officer
he cannot do such things conveniently.
Right!
When I was at Sima's mansion,
I heard that in the bride's possessions
there was a contract of stable lands to the West.
Do you think Yan Shifan
married Chunyu Min because of this?
What Yan Shi Fan wants
he can have.
Beating around the bush like that...
There must be something behind it all
that he can't let others know.
Just forget it.
Today you don't have to bother with etiquette.
My trusted men.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Today I summon you here
because of some great news
that I want to share with you all.
Master Lan and I
have just successfully forged
some kind of Dan medicine.
This Dan medicine
is made of ginseng, agate,
snow lotus,
and other rare herbs.
It will prolong your lifespan
and relieve your bones.
Congratulation for the wonderful medicine, Your Majesty.
Master Lan,
You all
are my trusted men
in this government.
It is no overstatement that you're my right hand men.
Now.
I've got this precious medicine.
Of course,
you will all have your share.
Sir,
please.
Thanks for your medicine, Your Majesty.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Sir,
this letter was delivered here by someone assigned by Master Lan.
I, with the help of Sir Xu,
have earned the emperor's trust,
and are by the emperor's side
cultivating and alchemizing the medicine.
His Majesty is happy.
You can start with your plan now.
Sen Fu,
burn it.
Yes.
Yang Yue
Yang Yue.
Here, eat something.
Eat it.
I'll help you eat.
Please try to eat something.
If there is no information
you'll keep starving yourself like this?
I don't know if Yang Yue is still alive or not
I only know that if this goes on
you will die.
Before, you always
had your sword with you
and was filled with the will to do good.
You were the idol of many girls.
Look at yourself now.
You are just like a rock
that is buried under the ground.
Do you want to drink some water?
I don't know what to say now.
If we can't find Yang Yue,
what will you do then?
It can't be.
If he is still alive,
I will certainly find him.
