Under The Power
Episode 39
What is the order, Your Excellency?
Why did you move the army rations?
I know
that you don't want to betray our empire.
But if this time, Yu Dayong fails to defeat the pirates,
you will get great benefit.
That's why I...
That's why what?
You made trouble for me. Do you know?
I-I did
in favor of Your Excellency.
If anything happens,
I will bear the responsibilities myself.
You won't be implicated.
Can you really take such responsibilities?
Let me tell you.
I don't want
anything else to arise from this.
If you dare do things
against me next time,
I will not forgive you.
I will bear in mind your words.
Is Lin Ling's disappearance related to you?
Lin Ling is missing?
Since Your Excellency told me to
stay away from Lin Ling,
I haven't investigated on her anymore.
If I didn't hear it from you,
I wouldn't know that she's missing now.
Your Excellency.
You owe me 5 qian of copper coins.
Tell your deputy chief to come out.
Who are you?
Our deputy chief
is not a person for you to summon.
Who's that?
Who's starting a fight in my territory?
It's Mr. Yan!
Put your swords down.
Put them down. Put them down.
What brought me the honor to have your visit?
You could've just told me, and I'd go to you right away.
You shouldn't have come here yourself?
Where's she?
Whom do you want, Your Excellency?
The highly skilled doctor Lin Ling.
Lin Ling?
Don't pretend.
Give us Lin Ling.
I didn't know you were looking for her as well.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I could have taken her to you right away.
At first, Miss Zhai just told me that
our chief wants to take her for his plan.
I didn't expect that
Your Excellency wants her too.
If you want her,
I will give her to you for sure.
Go now.
Ask Doctor Lin to come here.
Yes.
You just mentioned... Miss Zhai?
That's right.
Zhai Lanye, Miss Zhai.
No!
We can't just wait here.
I must rescue her.
Mr. Beggar.
Wait. Wait.
If we storm the house right now,
and then if Yan Shifan and Dong Qisheng collude,
we won't stand a chance for sure.
He's right.
Mr. Beggar, don't be impulsive.
Your Excellency.
How is it there?
As Your Excellency expected,
when Dong Qisheng met Yan Shifan,
he handed Lin Ling over to Yan Shifan right away.
So why don't we save her now?
If Yan Shifan takes her away,
it will be too late.
Mr. Beggar,
since Yan Shifan has come here himself,
he won't hurt her easily.
Let's wait for them to come out.
Mr. Beggar.
Where are you taking me?
Walk!
Mr. Yan.
Yan Shifan?
After so many years,
you still remember me?
Yan Shifan,
even if you turn into ashes,
I won't forget you.
Come here.
Let me hug you.
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Let go!
No.
It was really hard for me to find you,
so I won't let you go easily.
Come on.
Let me see.
It's been ages,
but you're still young and beautiful like before.
You're still the same as you are in my memory.
Don't touch me!
Do you know
how much I missed you?
Every time I looked at the mirror
and saw the eye that you broke,
how I missed you
and wanted to get you back
and give you my affection!
I can't get you out of my mind either,
thinking about how to kill you
to avenge the Lin family.
I regret making a mistake back then.
That hairpin
was meant to stab you in your heart.
You hate me that much?
Kill me if you're a man.
Or else,
I will give you a very violent death!
I certainly don't want to kill you.
With some effort,
you will be willing to be with me.
In your dreams.
Is that so?
I know that you're looking for someone.
I know where she is.
What do you mean?
Your elder sister's daughter.
How do you know?
Where's she now?
Don't be impatient.
I will take you to her right now.
Put me down!
-Take care, Your Excellency. -Yan Shifan, put me down!
Enjoy your day.
Put me...
Put me down.
Yan Shifan,
where do you take me to?
Home.
Let Ling go.
Mr. Beggar!
Deputy Chief, they started fighting.
Should we take her back while they are fighting?
No.
We can't afford to mess with any of them.
Just watch them fighting.
Ignore them.
Pack up. We're gonna get outta here.
Yes.
Shoot me.
Take aim at me.
Lu Yi,
why do I always encounter you?
Don't you think that you're obnoxious?
Mr. Yan,
I was told that Doctor Lin was in trouble,
so I came here to rescue her.
She saved my life once,
so I have to return her the favor.
You might have known
how my eye was injured .
Also, I really admire Miss Lin.
Don't waste time on his nonsense! Let go of Ling!
You are blocking the way
and trying to kill a court official.
Lu Yi,
as an embroidered uniform guard,
you are really bold.
Mr. Yan,
I think you're bold too.
You're the first court official who dared collude with
the pirates.
What do you mean by that?
Dong Qisheng has long pledged allegiance to Mao Haifeng,
but you could easily
take Doctor Lin away from their hands.
I don't think anyone would believe
you're not close to him.
So what if it's true?
And so what if it's not?
Do you have the evidence?
Mr. Yan,
you pretended to be Sima Chang'an
to open up mines privately
and collude with the enemy to betray our empire.
You think what you've done has no loopholes
and leaves no trails?
Today, I must
take her with me.
Mr. Yan,
in this situation, if we fight,
I don't think you will win.
You should think twice.
She's right.
One should always know the situation and act accordingly.
Take good care of her for me.
Think about
what I told you just now.
You can come to me
at any time.
Yan Shifan!
Ling,
are you OK?
Aunt Lin, are you OK?
She...
Jinxia?
What's the matter?
It hurts.
I have no strength.
I'm wounded.
I cannot walk.
I'm begging you.
Please have some pity on me and bring me with you.
How can I bring you with me?
Carry me in your arms, on your back, on your shoulder,
or whatever convenient way.
It's true. I'm not lying.
You won't leave me on the horseback
and ignore me like that time again, right?
Your Majesty.
Grand Secretary Yan,
Vice Secretary Xu and Liao Wenhua,
the minister of revenue,
and some imperial censors are requesting a visit.
They said they have something important to report.
Everybody,
what's the matter?
Say it.
Your Majesty,
this time, the 10,000 dan of army rations for Zhejiang distributed by the Ministry of War,
which is monitored by Director-General Wu Shouxu,
have all been destroyed.
Director-generals of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Huguang
jointly impeach
Wu Shouxu of for not doing his best in protecting the army rations.
We hope that you will punish him.
Please make the decision.
Your Majesty,
back then, to entice Wang Zhi to surrender,
Wu Shouxu gave Xu Hai 1,000 taels of gold
and tens of boxes of silk.
The money spent on the lobbyist
was paid with the military's fund.
Despite the full consumption of the fund,
the enemy hasn't been warded off yet,
and our people are very discontented.
If we can't stop the disaster this time,
I'm afraid it will led to popular discontent,
and we can't imagine the consequences.
Your Majesty,
I nominated Wu Shouxu to be the director-general of the southeast
for his brilliance
and good management,
not for personal interests at all.
Please have a careful investigation into this, Your Majesty.
Mr. Yan Song,
as the grand secretary,
what do you think about this?
Your Majesty,
Wu Shouxu has been at war with Mao Haifeng for a long time.
If we don't receive any good news,
I'm afraid our people will be confused,
and it'll be hard to persuade them.
Your Majesty,
although I nominated Wu Shouxu,
he hasn't been doing his job,
and it proves his incapacity.
Please give him a strict punishment.
Mr. Liao,
as the assistant second-order censor-in-chief,
you and Wang Bengu
attend to the matters of army rations in Liangzhe Circuit.
You may rise now.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Doctor Lin,
do a check-up for Jinxia.
It hurts.
It's swollen already.
I will boil some medicinal herbs for you.
Remember to apply them on it every day.
But for these days,
don't move around.
I can't move for days?
It's worse than getting killed.
If you want to heal quickly,
you have to listen to her.
Oh, Aunt Lin,
Did Dong Qisheng's gang bully you?
No, they didn't.
Yeah.
You haven't been involved in anything with him.
Why did he kidnap you?
Dong Qisheng said that I am good at medicine,
so he wanted to give me to Mao Haifeng.
Dare he do that?
I'll see about that.
Mao Haifeng?
Well, how did Mao Haifeng
collude with them?
How unbelievable Dong Qisheng is!
He was already a desperado when he was the chief of the sect.
Now after he has colluded with the pirates,
he's even worse.
Before his kidnap and robbery at the Hairpin Competition incident is even solved,
he took Aunt Lin away this time.
When my leg heals,
I will arrest him and cut him into ten thousand...
Stop it.
Didn't she tell you not to move?
Why do you just keep me worried?
Your Excellency,
here is the medicine.
This is the imperial ointment.
Rub it up on your wound.
It'll be good for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Here, let me help you.
Your Excellency, I can do it myself.
I'm hurt in my leg,
not in my hand.
OK. You do it.
Constable Yang,
you guys haven't had a good rest recently.
I told Cen Fu to bring food to your rooms.
Why not fill up your tummies first?
And then take a good rest.
Thank you, Mr. Lu.
Jinxia,
before you wound is cured,
just stay here,
and don't move around.
So, take a rest.
Never ever move around.
OK.
I won't move.
Don't move around.
OK. OK. I won't.
Your Excellency...
This medicine requires rubbing with inner power
in order to be effective.
Thank you, Your Excellency.
From now on,
you are not allowed to get wounded again.
It's not so bad to be wounded.
How come?
It hurts.
Be gentle, please.
Thank you so much for rubbing the medicine for me.
Zhai Lanye
took the liberty of destroying the army rations first,
and then colluded with Dong Qisheng to kidnap Lin Ling.
What does she actually want?
Your Excellency,
since she's more and more disobedient,
maybe I should get rid of her?
Keep her for now.
She is still useful.
Yes.
However, Lu Yi and that little constable
are getting more and more annoying .
The young are really fearless.
Then I will get rid of them right away.
No.
Don't we still have Chunyu Min?
Let her do it.
I got it.
In the court,
the imperial censors jointly impeached Liao Wenhua.
According to today's situation,
His Majesty doesn't protect him like before anymore.
With His Majesty's favor, Liao Wenhua is so arrogant.
He has left His Majesty a cold shoulder multiple times,
but he was totally unaware of it,
still being his old self.
If we can get rid of Liao Wenhua this time,
it will be the first disruption to Yan's clique.
With the current impeachments from the censors against Liao Wenhua,
it is not enough to incriminate him.
We need to follow up with hot pursuit.
Does Your Excellency have any idea for that?
Yes.
But...
I need your help.
What's the plan?
It's you?
How did you find out I'm here?
You think that after Lu Yi
helped you hide
in this remote Taoist temple outside the city,
I won't be able to find you?
What do you want to do?
My master sent me to deliver you a message.
If you want to live,
kill Yuan Jinxia as quickly as possible.
This medicine
requires rubbing with inner power
in order to be effective.
From now on, you are not allowed to get wounded again.
Master.
Take a seat.
Haven't you gone to bed this late?
What's going on
between you and Lu Yi?
What do you mean?
Still trying to hide it from me?
You think that I can't see
you two act weirdly all the time?
Tell me the truth.
Weirdly?
It's just that I have been solving cases with him for a long time
so we became a little bit close.
I've been warning you time and time again.
You have to respect your superiors.
Do you know what respect means?
That means being courteous and keeping distance.
and keeping distance.
Have you done it?
His Excellency and I...
Haven't I been respecting His Excellency?
Your eyes haven't been away from him all the time.
Is that "respect"?
Alright, alright.
I can tell you.
His Excellency said that
he wants to marry me.
He just said that
and then you believe him?
You didn't even think about
what merits you have
that can attract him?
I'm not that bad.
Why can't I attract him?
So you think that
the Lu family can accept you?
I'm pure and clean, so why can't they accept me?
It doesn't mean an appropriate match in terms of family background.
Jinxia,
why don't you weigh your own social status a bit?
Think about who you are.
Do you think
you can match the Lu family?
Marriage
is not something for you to
decide on your own.
Listen to me carefully.
From now on,
stay away from Lu Yi.
If I see you
get close to him again,
I will take you back to the capital city
and tell your mother to find you a husband.
Please don't, master.
If you don't want that,
just do what I said.
Why don't you weigh your own social status a bit?
Think about who you are.
Do you think
you can match the Lu family?
Are His Excellency and I
really not suitable for each other?
Yan Shifan,
do you know where she is for real?
Dajian, you startled me.
Ling,
what…
what's wrong?
What are you thinking about?
Yan Shifan told me that
he knew where my sister's daughter is.
I don't know if he was telling the truth.
He is the last man
you should believe.
Don't be fooled by him.
But if he's serious about looking for her,
with his influence,
he probably can find her.
Ling.
Just think.
For all the time you had lived in the Maple Col,
he couldn't find you, right?
Is that so?
That's because I used snakes to cover.
He couldn't find me for sure.
Ling.
I don't know what Yan Shifan told you,
but you know that he is full of devilish tricks.
I hope that you can be wise.
Don't fall into his trap.
I understand.
Your Excellency.
You look serious.
Is that because of what Priest Lan said?
Yu Dayong's battle against Mao Haifeng
over the Cen Harbor
has taken too long.
Yan Song signaled his clique
to impeach Yu Dayong for being unable to defeat the pirates.
Many people condemn him in the court.
His Majesty began to suspect that
Yu Dayong has colluded with the enemy.
Lan Qingxuan specially informed me
that I'm about to receive His Majesty's secret letter.
Rumor has it that he's one of Wu Shouxu's clique.
I'm afraid he's not in anyone's clique.
Now, in the court,
it's hard to find someone who doesn't
take any clique.
I think he's one of them.
He only concentrates on the war.
About cliques,
he doesn't care at all.
Just think.
In the victory at Wangjiangjing, because he collaborated with Zhang Jing,
Liao Wenhua affirmed that he belonged to Zhang Jing's clique
and removed him from office.
Not long after that,
he participated in Wu Shouxu's pursuit of enemy,
Grand Coordinator Zhao firmly said that he was in Wu Shouxu's clique.
If you get demotion in victory
and take the blame for others in defeat,
will you still take this position?
I don't think that
I'm as good as General Yu.
While the fighting in the front line is intense,
never mind the lack of reinforcements,
those in the court are even fighting against each other.
The people are the ones who will suffer from it eventually.
What I'm worrying about is that
since the army rations are destroyed,
it will be even harder to
defeat Mao Haifeng.
Your Excellency,
we can't help the army
with their needs.
Yi,
you wants to see me?
I have something to talk to you.
Hope that you can help me.
What's that?
Just tell me.
General Yu has been fighting at the Cen Harbor
for a long time but he hasn't succeeded.
Now, the army is seriously short of
provisions and rations.
I've found a way
to solve this problem.
But it's still not enough.
I wonder if you can help
General Yu overcome this difficult situation.
Now, you're my only relative,
so I'm willing to donate all the properties
of the Chunyu family.
But...
I have a presumptuous request.
Just say it.
I know that
you arranged me here
because you were afraid that Yan Shifan would harm me.
But I've been thinking for several days.
I can't just hide here
all my life.
So,
Yi,
can you take me back to the capital city?
Alright.
Soon,
I will tell Cen Fu to take you to the courier station first.
Thank you, Yi.
I'll see you later then.
Jinxia.
Your Excellency.
You haven't fully recovered from the wound yet.
Just sit down.
Thank you for your care.
My wound is not serious anymore.
I have something to do. See you.
What's wrong with you today?
Sit down.
Your Excellency,
in these several days,
I ignored who I am.
Please forgive me.
What happened?
Why are you like this so suddenly?
Tell me.
Now.
You said that you want to marry me.
Are you serious about that?
Marriage
is not something that you can play with.
But my knowledge is not as good as yours,
my martial arts are not as good as yours,
and my family background is not as good as yours either.
How can you marry me?
Your family has been in official positions for generations,
while my mother is just a tofu seller in the market.
Does my desire to marry you
have anything to do with these?
Our statuses are greatly distant.
Even if you accept me, your father won't.
I just need the two of us to agree.
You don't need
to care about other things.
I've been thinking about it all night long.
If I can marry you,
I'll be happy, of course.
But if I can't,
I, Yuan Jinxia,
will accept my fate.
What are you talking about?
I, Lu Yi,
just want to marry you for this lifetime.
Yuan Jinxia,
remember this.
You have me whatever happens.
You don't need to
care about other things.
You were just frowning.
Why did you change your face?
Because all the puzzles are solved.
Your Excellency, please take a seat.
Then it's good.
Ah,
I have something
to tell you.
What's that?
After the Chunyu family's incident
and the Sima mansion being closed,
because I was afraid that Yan Shifan would find Min,
I temporarily
hid her in a Taoist temple outside the city.
Min said that
she wanted to go to the capital city with us.
I agreed.
So,
tomorrow, Cen Fu
will take her to the courier station.
Your Excellency,
Min is your relative,
so you can just go ahead.
Why do you need to ask me?
You're my future wife.
In order that you don't misunderstand,
of course, I have to report
everything for my wife.
But she set me up once,
so if you want me to care for her,
I have to think about it.
But don't worry.
I won't try to start a fight with her.
I know that my lady is magnanimous.
You will not hold a grudge.
Of course.
Who am I?
Yuan Jinxia!
Does it still hurt?
Yes.
It still does.
Very much!
About the army provisions,
Yu Dayong has urged it for many times.
Now it's reported to the court,
so I'm sure I'll be charged with negligence.
But if we can't collect enough army provisions to reinforce the front line,
our soldiers will be demoralized.
It seems
this time,
I can't escape this disaster.
Please don't forget that
Assistant Lu said
you'd never know if rescue comes
when you're in desperation.
Master,
Assistant Lu comes
and is asking to meet you.
We were just talking about him!
Let him come in.
Yes.
Zhihan,
why does Assistant Lu come here?
As you see,
he is bighearted.
He won't hurt you when you're in desperation.
His visit
may be a good thing.
Master,
Assistant Lu is here.
Assistant Lu.
Mr. Wu.
Mr. Xu.
Please forgive me for visiting
without an appointment.
There's absolutely no problem.
Please be seated.
Mr. Wu,
I came here this time
because I have good news to tell you.
What's the good news?
You must have heard that the Chunyu family,
my mother's maiden family,
were all murdered.
No one could escape.
Although my cousin has got married,
she agreed
to donate all the warhorses and army rations
of the Chunyu family
to solve your emergency.
Assistant Lu,
this is a tremendous help.
It's nothing.
The donation of army rations and warhorses
is not for the sake of you,
but for our people and empire.
I know.
I will remember
your generosity forever.
Mr. Wu,
I want to use this opportunity to go and check the army.
Is that okay?
You want to find out the pirates' situation
and report it to the court?
That's right.
When do you want to go?
As early as possible.
Early in the next morning,
a group of soldiers trained by Assistant Commander Qi Weigang
are about to rush into the Cen Harbor
as reinforcement for Yu Dayong.
Do you
want to go with them?
Thank you, Mr. Wu.
Your Excellency,
a pigeon has just brought your father's letter.
Read.
His Excellency said that
Priest Lan is holding the power in the court now.
Whether in trivial or major affairs,
His Majesty always completely depends on him.
His Excellency wants you to go back to the capital city quickly.
There is nothing to worry about.
The fact that His Majesty depends on Taoists
is not a short-term problem.
His Majesty always likes new boys for a short time.
He won't cause much trouble.
Reply to my father
and say
I must finish my job here
before I can go back.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency.
Yes?
Mao Haifeng has urged me many times
to arrange him to meet you.
When will you meet him?
He doesn't need to come.
I will go to him.
You'll go with me.
Your Excellency, you want to go to him yourself?
I will prepare it right away.
You're going to the army tomorrow?
So hasty?
Yu Dayong is waiting for rations,
so of course, it must be quick.
Otherwise, how can the warriors fight
when they're hungry?
I want to go with you.
Considering your wellness,
I think you should just stay here.
Aunt Lin, Mr. Beggar.
Jinxia.
Has your leg been better?
It's okay.
I'm much better now.
Mr. Yang.
Ling.
It's good that you both are here.
I have something to talk to you two.
Yes?
I've discussed with my fellow apprentice,
and we've decided to leave Hangzhou.
Leave?
You have to leave already?
Yang Shifan has found out that I'm here.
If I continue to stay here,
I'm afraid it won't be safe.
Moreover,
I haven't found my sister's daughter yet.
I want to continue to look for her.
It's just that if I want to meet you,
I don't know when I can see you again.
It's alright.
If I have time, I will come back to see you.
The battle between General Yu and Mao Haifeng
has lasted for too long,
and he still hasn't defeated the enemy.
In the battlefield, there are a lot of wounded warriors,
so he's in serious shortage of paramedics.
If you don't mind,
you can be a great help for him.
Great!
I'm willing to go with you.
My abilities
can finally serve something.
Alright.
I'll go with you.
Even though I'm not good at saving people,
but I know a little bit about curing.
Moreover,
swords know no mercy.
I have to protect Ling.
I'll go too.
Maybe
I can help a little bit.
Since you guys go,
I'll go too.
Haven't you listened?
You just rest here.
If you go,
we have to split some attention to you too.
OK, OK.
So you guys just go.
Be safe.
I'll be here waiting for you to come back.
Tomorrow,
Cen Fu and I
together with General Qi's army
will transport army rations first.
After the three of you get ready,
you can follow us.
OK. Let's do that.
Your Majesty.
How does the cloud seem?
Your Majesty, as you see,
that horse-tailed cloud
has red in purple color,
its size increases,
and it's charging in the southeastern direction.
How do you interpret it?
The layers of white clouds
are a symbol of the encounter of heroes,
forecasting that the battle in the southeast
will experience a big turn of the table.
Is that good or bad?
Purple in the east is good.
Congratulation, Your Majesty.
Your merit has moved the gods' hearts.
The Heaven gives us a good sign.
This makes worries in my heart
disappear.
All of it!
Seeing his scenery at this moment,
I feel
very comfortable.
Li Fang.
Yes.
Why
didn't I see that mansion before?
Your Majesty,
that's a new mansion of Mr. Liao.
Liao Wenhua?
Yes.
Good.
He has been worked in the Ministry of Works for less than half a year,
but he can have such a mansion built.
But my new pavilion in Western Garden
has been under construction for a year
and still hasn't taken shape.
This place he chose
has pretty good feng shui.
Good!
