[Episode 12]
You really don't need to check.
I already said she's asleep.
Do you want to eat this?
Miss Ye, rest early.
I'm not sleepy yet. I will sleep after eating this.
Where is he?
This...
I was helpless at that moment. It was an emergency.
I understand.
That's how it's written in the books.
It's better that I wait outside.
Ling'er!
Ling'er has left. Aren't you getting up?
I'm tired. I will lie down for a while.
How can you do this?
Why can't I?
How do you expect me to face others?
We have an existing marriage agreement.
We are not married yet.
Get up.
If you don't get up, I'm leaving.
I'm up.
Why aren't you leaving?
I will leave after you fall asleep.
Leave now. It's bad if you are seen by others.
My luck is really good.
What luck?
I like a young lady.
In the end, I discovered that young lady is my future wife.
If God didn't watch over me,
how could I be so lucky?
I heard Miss Si Lili of the Zuixian Hotel has deep feelings for you.
She and I are impeachable. We are not involved with each other.
- Really? - Yes.
I created a lot of troubles in the past just to break the promise of this marriage.
Why did you do that?
Because I had already fallen for a girl who was secretly eating a drumstick.
Even if you broke the promise of the marriage, Uncle of Sinan wouldn't have agreed to let you marry that girl.
My father can't control me.
There's still the emperor.
I will take this girl and elope then.
If His Majesty sends his soldiers to capture me,
I will take her and escape Qing state to the most faraway place in the world.
I will steal lots of chickens along the way and grill drumsticks for her.
Would His Majesty personally capture someone like you who absconded from the marriage?
It's hard to tell.
You really planned to do that?
It's true.
Hence, I have been looking for you.
But I have tuberculosis.
I'm not someone who can travel afar with you.
I will wait until you have recovered.
I will take you out to see the world.
My illness keeps repeating every year.
The physicians are unable to cure me.
That's because their foundation is wrong.
I want you to eat more meat during the day. I wasn't talking nonsense.
If you focus on nursing yourself, the tuberculosis can be treated.
Trust me. I will definitely cure you.
I trust you.
Thank you, Physician Fan.
What did you call me?
Physician Fan.
You shouldn't call me this.
What should I call you then?
I can only call you this before we are married.
I only want you to call me Brother Fan. Must we really wait till we are married?
I will visit you often, okay?
You can't.
Do you know that sometimes because of the word "can't,"
you will make a mistake in life.
What do you mean?
Let me tell you a story.
Okay. I love listening to stories.
What a coincidence. I'm great at telling stories.
Tell me then.
This story happened
a long, long time ago.
In the past, there was a young boy
who would go to school every day.
There was a young girl in the same village
who would go
to school with him every day.
Women can't enter the school hall.
This was in the past. The rules were not that strict then.
Okay, continue talking.
Day after day, it was the same.
The young boy couldn't take it anymore. He stopped to ask the young girl.
He said,
"Why do you follow me?"
"Because I like to look at you. That's why I followed you."
"I won't disturb you. Can't I do this?"
What did that young boy say?
He said,
"You can't." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The young girl was left standing there.
Guess what happened after that?
My guess is that young girl must have moved out of that village.
Why would she move out?
This is how life is. She's forced to leave.
I applaud her for being brave and find her pitiful, too.
Why do you say this?
Usually when a man and a woman show interest,
first, someone must be a match maker. There must be three books and six rites. (A kind of etiquette in traditional marriage)
Exchange signatures and formalize the engagement.
If a woman does this, she has deep affection.
After all, intolerance in secular etiquette is disallowed.
This story happened in the past.
In the past, the etiquette was not that strict.
If a man and woman are interested in each other, they can confess to each other face-to-face.
When is that era? Which village's custom is that?
It's so open-minded to women. Why don't I know about this?
This is a story.
A story can't be that serious.
Okay then.
Subsequently, that young boy became a drifter
but in his heart, he remembered that young girl.
When he was seventy years old and returned home,
he wanted to see that young girl again.
That young girl at that time,
was over sixty years old. She entrusted someone to relay a message.
She said, "I know you want to see me
but you can't."
That young boy entrusted someone to tell her
to be on the path on the way to school as it was in the past.
He will hold a stalk of pink cherry blossoms.
Make a guess whether she waited for him.
I don't know.
On the second morning,
the old man held a hundred stalks of cherry blossoms and waited by the path.
Every old woman that he met, he would give her a stalk.
Because he knew that, among those old women,
there will finally be that one who was on the same street with him.
Sometimes, just this word "can't" won't do.
Once you have missed it, it's for life.
Hence, this word,
one must never say it too lightly.
Are you touched?
Did that man marry?
He got married, too. It's just that he couldn't forget that young girl.
Since he couldn't forget her, why did he marry another woman?
- Why didn't he look for that young girl? - About this...
Since he's already married and lived for a long time,
at this age, he went back to look for that young girl again,
what's the reason?
- It's just... - Forget it if he didn't want to have any regrets in life.
But did he even think about the circumstances of that young girl?
What if she's already married, too?
What will her family think of this?
This... story... when it happened,
there weren't that many rules and etiquette.
Her family also didn't... have that many...
Did you join the school hall when you were in Danzhou, too?
This story has nothing to do with me. I didn't attend the school hall when I was in Danzhou.
I don't know any young girls, either.
Why did you tell me this story then?
I wanted to judge this man with you.
This... story really has nothing to do with me.
Why... don't you give me another chance? I will think of another story.
I know lots of stories.
The prince and princess. Let me tell you about the monk and the monkey.
Beauty and the Beast.
I remember you wrote the Dream of the Red Mansion.
Frankly, it was written by a Mr. Cao.
I merely paraphrased it.
You didn't complete Dream of the Red Mansion. Just relate the story to me.
Are you implying that
you want me to visit you every day?
I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep.
Fortunately, it's you.
I said, fortunately, my marriage agreement is with you.
Not only the Dream of the Red Mansion. In the future, I still have many nice stories to tell you.
Listen to the physician now.
Go to sleep.
Fortunately, it's also you, too.
How long will they keep chatting?
[Hand in hand, we shall grow old together]
Be careful you don't catch a cold.
My heart feels warm.
You caught a cold?
You are still saying this? You didn't even tell me when he left.
I fell asleep.
Wan Qiu.
- Miss. - Ling'er caught a cold. Go and get the medicine.
Yes.
It's a small problem for me. After having breakfast with you, I'm going to the Fan manor.
What will you do there?
Challenge Fan Xian to a fight. Since you already have someone in your heart,
naturally, I'm going to beat him up to break the promise of marriage.
He is Fan Xian.
- Who? - Him.
Him?
It's him.
Why did he pretend to be a physician?
There's a twist in this.
He didn't know it was me.
He didn't know it was... you?
It's indeed a twist.
Wait a minute. Wasn't Fan Xian entangled with Si Lili?
He said that wasn't the truth.
You even believe this?
Where are you going?
I'm going to see Si Lili and find out the truth,
and find out Fan Xian's relationship with her.
"Hand in hand,
we shall grow old together."
Why are you back again...
Princess, Her Highness wants to see you.
Her Highness?
Miss Ling'er.
Our mistress just instructed us to brew this for your cold. Drink this before you leave.
Take these packs of herbs, too. When you go home, drink this for two days
and you will recover from your cold.
[Herbs for cold]
Okay, I'm leaving.
Dear Mother.
Quick, sit down and chat.
Yes.
Let me do it.
I heard your illness has improved after seeing that physician.
The treatment method of that physician is rather unique.
In any case, I can only try before I know.
It's good that there's a new method.
I called you here to tell you about another happy event.
Happy event?
Your marriage agreement with Fan Xian
will probably be canceled soon.
Isn't it the emperor's decree?
After all, the decree is not clear. There's still leeway to go back to the clan.
Also, I wonder how the second prince
heard about this, too. He's now planning to withdraw your marriage.
Including your wish, it can almost be done.
Actually...
Actually, it doesn't need to be that urgent.
Previously,
did you say you wanted to withdraw from this marriage?
There was a misunderstanding at that time.
Misunderstanding?
If it was a misunderstanding, how was it resolved?
Is there any misunderstanding between us?
I don't think there's any misunderstanding.
Do you believe me now?
I like a young lady.
In the end, I discovered this young lady was my future wife.
If God didn't watch over me, how could I be so lucky?
You met Fan Xian?
How did he meet you?
Mother, you are thinking too much into this.
Do you have feelings for him?
Who do you say so?
It's best that you don't.
Will this marriage still be withdrawn?
Let's... Let's do this first.
Since you are saying this,
I believe he's in your heart.
As a mother, I shouldn't be an evil person.
Why would he be in my heart?
You shouldn't be tired, either.
Let's talk about the withdrawal of the marriage later.
Tell someone to escort the princess back.
Yes.
He's already in her heart.
That fast?
Eat this.
I'm not eating.
Don't show me that face every day. Give me a smile.
I don't sell smiles.
I won't pay you even if you smile.
Brother Fan!
Old Li!
- Old--? - Have you eaten?
- Old Li? - It doesn't sound intimate this way.
- Looking for me? - Second Prince wanted me to make an appointment with you.
- When? - How about tomorrow?
- Where? - "Where?"
Naturally, it's at Miss Si Lili's Zuixian Hotel.
She's dead?
You threaten me with my life,
what's the use of me wanting it or not?
That monster is hard to tame.
Only this token which can order him to act.
Here you are.
Why is it her?
What are you doing?
- The fire's going out soon. Fan it harder. - Put it down! What the heck do you know?
I specially concocted this potion for Wan'er.
I brewed it for eight hours.
It stops the coughing. You almost ruined it.
You are going to see her again?
There's a marriage agreement. It's not a problem.
After all, you are not married yet. This is inappropriate.
You don't understand this.
I'm not going there as a man.
I'm going there as a physician instead.
Wan'er has had tuberculosis for many years. One must be cautious with her medicines.
Frequent observation is also to treat and cure the patient.
This is having an open mind and heart, and being magnanimous.
Magnanimous?
Magnanimous and you are dressed in clothes for night movements?
Magnanimous and you choose to go during the night?
I think you are getting more talkative.
I'm influenced by close association.
You wanted to say more, right?
There are some matters that I still find strange.
It's naturally strange climbing the wall late at night.
I'm referring to what you just said.
Nurture determines a person's character.
- Is anything not right? - Where's the hint?
It's handed down from ancient times. I'm not sure of the source.
This phrase came from Prince Consort Fu Xuan of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Western Jin Dynasty? Which dynasty is that?
There are some I remember. It came out in phrases
that were handed down in this world.
At that time, I really didn't know if it was a problem with my memory,
or if this world was fake.
Why am I telling you this?
- What are you doing? - Sprinkling the scented sachet.
The scented sachet is for hanging on the waist.
This is my new method.
- The ingredients in the scented sachet can be used for cooking. - I know.
It's a scented sachet with roots of Angelica dahurica, Ligusticum striatum, and Kaempferia galanga.
You can't fail me in this.
So, what you are smelling now, it's just like a Five Spices Duck.
You know crap!
This is not an ordinary perfume sachet.
I created this especially for Wan'er.
I gathered and extracted 60 different kinds of flowers and leaves.
The top note is fresh, the middle note is mellow, and the base note is extensive.
Wan'er will definitely like this.
Country bumpkin.
Distribute this money to everyone.
Keep your mouths shut. Leave Jingdu tonight.
Why?
I will get into major trouble.
If you don't leave, I fear you will be trapped in this.
What about you?
Second Prince is inviting Fan Xian to this feast tomorrow.
I will stay for another day.
I already found an excuse to let you leave via the front courtyard.
There's no one in the corridor, either.
You don't need to climb over the wall and window.
I'm used to it.
Is your cough better?
It's much better.
Did you eat Five Spices Duck?
My guard ate that.
I'm here to tell you another story.
It's not necessary tell stories at night.
Your home is so tightly controlled during the day, I can't enter.
You can write a letter and get someone to deliver it here.
I kept the window open for you today and told someone to leave it open.
It's because I have something to tell you.
Speak.
After knowing you are Fan Xian,
other than being surprised, I was very happy, too.
I shouldn't be telling you this
but I want you to know,
whatever I said, it's what I wanted to say.
Same for me, too. When I met you, I fell in love with you.
But when you like someone, first, you should be respectful.
You climb through the window every night. Isn't this taking liberty with a woman?
We still have many days ahead in our future.
If there are any stories to be told, can't you wait till we are married?!
Actually, I specially came here
not only just to tell you stories.
Here's the medicine.
You are back.
- It's torn again. - It's because he climbed trees again.
I will heat up the food for you.
I went to visit my good friend who lives in a chest again.
He even gave food to me.
Who would live in a chest in this world?
There's really one. I personally saw him.
You made this wooden horse for him.
Once he was back, he played with it and refused to come down from it.
It's fine as long as he likes it.
Giddy up!
What time is it now? Come down now.
Wash your feet and go to sleep.
If you still don't come down, I will throw away your wooden horse.
You can't do that. Mother, my father made this for me.
Zijing.
Call me that again.
Call him that again.
It's okay. The future is still ahead.
I can wait.
I personally concocted this formula for coughs.
You know I studied poison from my teacher.
I'm more courageous in using herbs. There are several herbs in here which are rarely seen.
If I don't secretly deliver it here,
I fear I won't be able to see you.
Why are you drinking it first?
I'm testing the medicine for you to prove that there's no problem with it.
No need to test it. I trust you.
It's not bitter, right. I specially added rock sugar and osmanthus.
This is the sweetest medicine I have ever drunk in my life.
As long as you like it.
Did you spend a long time on this medicine?
The ingredients are easy to find.
It's just that I needed to keep a watch over it while it was being brewed. I couldn't leave it unattended for several hours.
Why didn't you let a maid keep watch over it?
It's for you. I don't feel at ease if it's done by others.
Thank you, Physician Fan.
What's wrong?
I feel a bit sleepy.
Sleepy? You suddenly feel sleepy?
It's okay. It's possible that a certain herb is not suited for your physique.
It's like being drunk. It will be fine after sleeping.
When I go back, I will change this medicine.
Wan'er?
Wan'er.
I'm feeling very hot!
It's so hot!
Wan'er.
- I want to be in the wind! - You will catch a cold.
Eventually, the emperor gave up his position.
He didn't return to his hometown again
because he only wanted to be with his most beloved person
and travel all over the world.
Wan'er, are you listening?
Travel all over the world.
I have another secret to tell you.
Actually, I'm from another world.
I was supposed to die.
But when I woke up,
I don't know why I appeared here.
This world...
and the world that I remember, there are many differences,
but there are many areas that are closely related, too.
Since I came back to life, I have never told anyone about this.
It's useless to talk about this, too.
Who would believe it?
Don't look at how cheerful I am every day.
But in my heart, I feel lonely.
[Fan Manor]
I keep wondering if it's necessary for me to be in this world.
I'm alone in this world.
I don't have anything to say to anyone, either.
Whatever people say, I can't understand, either.
There's no one who can understand me at all.
Till I met you.
After I met you, it made me feel that
my existence in this world
is still meaningful.
I stopped thinking about what this world is,
and who exactly I am.
Who are you?
Older Brother!
Should I go with you?
My appointment is at the brothel boat. It's not convenient.
Second Prince probably wants to rope you in.
I know.
What is your plan?
The struggles for power between the emperors and princes,
once you are careless, it will create turmoil for the family. Keep your distance from this.
Ruoruo, if I decide to go back to Danzhou...
I will go with you.
Let me think about it.
Okay, I will be back soon.
Older Brother, be careful along the way.
After the court trial, Crown Prince has been patient and hasn't taken any actions.
It's making me worried.
This is Jingdu!
Will he hack me on the streets?
Go back.
To Zuixian Hotel!
[Cheng Jushu: a Level 8 Master from Northern Qi]
I rarely see you smile.
You are in a good mood today.
Last night, my son called me "Father."
They are very important to you.
In this world,
if there's no one whom you are willing to die for,
life will be uninteresting.
I understand.
With someone like this, it can be considered that you have roots in this world.
I just heard you are thinking of going back to Danzhou.
After I marry Wan'er,
do you want to move back there with me? We can be neighbors.
Not staying in Jingdu anymore?
Before I came here,
I wanted to find that person who was trying to kill me.
I also wanted to find out about my mother's past
and find out what secrets there are in this world, too.
What about now?
I've realized I'm still a lazy bum.
I merely want to live well.
As long as there are no discounted money and land, it's the same wherever I go.
You can keep your job as a guard then.
It's hard to obey orders.
I only live for my family.
As for you, when you encounter danger, just shoulder it alone.
As for me, I will turn around and escape.
Consider yourself honest.
Fan Xian should be here soon.
Don't be anxious. I'm early.
