Episode 29
Rationality is telling me not to go
but I am also curious. What do you think>
It depends on you.
She also told me to treat you well.
I don't really understand.
You have such good skills and you still need me to take care of you?
She said there's no real vitality in this world.
Oh, if she says so then there isn't any.
Then what is this? What is this?
I don't know.
Said that you will give me the truth.
In the end, there were more questions.
She left more questions.
Speak.
I think I should forget these.
Since I already am here,
I will well live here and take care of those around me.
Sure. But
no one must find out about the trespassing the inner palace.
Relax.No one will know.
Who is it?
Lord, it has been discovered.
Come in. What is known?
Almost all is known?
What is known? Who knows everything? Speak clearly.
When I was sending the locksmith out from the city,
Head and Lord Shadow blocked me.
They even asked me
whether you trespassed the inner palace last night.
Wang Qinian, is this your trick?
I not stupid. Of course not.
And then?
Lord Shadow gave me this key later.
This key.
This key...
What is special about it?
There is nothing special about it.
This key is the locksmith's key.
- The counterfeit that was done by the locksmith yesterday? - Absolutely so.
Why would their key end up in Yingzi's hands?
The locksmith is the Head's man.
I really didn't know about it.
This locksmith has been well-known in Jingdu for many years. I've also known him for a long time already.
He's never mentioned to me that he knows the Head of the bureau.
Lord, tell me. In Jingdu,
how many people are the eyes and ears of the Head?
This is not a key. In this world, there is no kind of key that is like this.
There isn't this kind of lock to.
That locksmith doesn't know that I broke into the palace at night.
My Lord, people aren't idiots.
When you weren't home yesterday,
there was an incident at the palace and you even went to the locksmith's home dressed in night travel clothes.
They are even correct in this.
What did Chen Pingping say?
He wanted me to relay this message to you.
No one will know he left.
Do whatever he wants to do.
Find the loopholes and fill in the gaps.
Tell Fan Xian that he can trust me.
He covered such a big thing for you.
I think he is trustworthy.
The next thing. I want to try by myself.
If I can't do it, then I'll ask him to help.
The next thing? What else do you want to do?
When I went to Guangxin Palace last night, I didn't had enough time to put the counterfeit back.
Then. What are you going to do?
I have to put it back.
I can't let others know my real motive.
There was an assassin in the inner palace yesterday.
It must be tightly guarded now.
How are you going to go in?
Find someone who can enter the palace easily.
Where is that kind of person?
Besides, even if there is
why would they help you?
Into the palace? Not hard.
I grew up in the palace. Going there is like going home.
You also need to find a way to get into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Sure.
The Empress Dowager treats me well. I really should visit her.
You also have to bring me.
Sure, since we are already engaged.
We should enter the palace and see the queen dowager.
This is not what I mean. I meant you have to bring me in and not let others know it's me.
You mean you can't use the identity of Fan Xian to enter the palace?
Then what identity?
Eunuch.
Pretend eunuch. Not a real one.
Why do you have to explain that to me?
Is that a problem?
Nope.
Just since you have to pretend to be one.
You should at least look like one.
I am queen dowager now.
Hold me.
How can you hold me there?
I'm thirsty.
Go back. -What's wrong?
How can you walk like that? So loud.
Wait. You are an eunuch.
Your steps need to be smaller.
Eyes have to be looking down.
- My Lady, please have tea. - It's Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager, please have some tea.
Kneel.
What?
Kneel. - I..
Do you want to enter the palace?
I was playing with you.
Okay. You've learned most of it.
Sit.
I can help you enter the palace but before that
you have to tell me why.
I entered the palace yesterday secretly.
I also stole something from the queen dowager.
This thing is something related to my mother.
So no matter what I had to steal it and today I must return it.
Such a big thing and you are just going to tell me it?
I promised you.
I won't lie to you.
What an honest Divine Poet Fan Xian.
Once Jinfeng and Yulu meet,
they win, and there are countless people on earth.
You wrote this?
Yes.
When you were chanting the poem, who did you meet?
You.
"All emotions became the past held only in remembrance. What could not be would never be, forever gone are the old times".
If it's remembrance, why is there frustration again?
It's also you.
I couldn't see you then, so I missed you.
"Holding hands, we look into each other's teary eyes. Yet unable to utter words, on emotions we choke.".
And whose hand is it referring to and crying at?
It's still you.
It's all me?
Really> Yes.
There seems to be another one.
There's another one.
"Ten years of life and death". Is this written for me too?
Seems like I died a long time ago.
This one I wrote to my mom.
There are more guards than usual.
You haven't heard. There was an assassin last night.
Was he caught?
He ran away.
He was having date with Princess Royal's servant.
The cold one.
Yes.
She's not young anymore.
Yes, it was an encounter of an infatuated person.
Secret date. What a love story.
An infatuated person?
Can this be trusted?
Who knows?
Wan'er.
Greetings, Imperial Consort.
I heard there was a theft yesterday night.
He made so many poems at Qinian Palace last night.
Everyone now knows that there is a renowned poet in the Southern Qing.
The first time I saw him, I really liked him.
I thought he was just smart.
I didn't know he was talented too.
He really is a perfect match for our Wan'er.
Concubine.
Where are you going? Are you feeling better?
Thank you for your care.
I am entering the palace
to see queen dowager.
What a coincidence? I am too going there.
Let's go together.
Sure.
Wan'er greets Empress Dowager.
Please rise.
You are unwell. No need to kneel.
Reporting to Empress Dowager,
After medication, I am already almost well.
I still don't want you to kneel down.
Here, here.
Why did you come to the palace today?
I haven't seen you for a long time. I've missed you.
You also brought so many people.
I know you know sweets
so I made some desserts for you to try.
I heard that there are fleas recently.
So I brought some incense.
To get rid of the fleas.
No money and treasures
won't be able to buy your filial piety. Fine.
Take them all.
Why isn't Eunuch Hong here?
Yesterday, there was a theft.
I left him to help majesty.
The weather is nice today. Why don't I take you to the back of the garden to appreciate the flowers?
Have them use herbs to get rid of the insects.
Sure. Let's go.
Today, I will be with you.
Walk slowly.
Breath in some fresh air.
It's good for the body.
Eat more meet and open the windows. They are good for the body too.
Right? -Yes.
The weather is good. Let's have a walk.
Your Highness. The message has been relayed. Northern Qi's diplomatic entourage is preparing to leave.
You are still thinking about the theft?
For what reason did they enter the palace.
It is not to see you.
I just think there is something weird.
He's definitely from Dongyi City.
Eunuch Hong and that person fought and he recognized the sword technique is from Si Gu Jiang.
Really?
When Eunuch Hong went after him last night,
he fought with him several times. It probably can't be wrong.
- Fought several times? - Yes.
- Went after him till it's out from the palace? - Yes.
What time is this?
Eunuch Hou said he met the assassin at 12 AM.
And he got lured away?
Yes.
When did you realize there was a theft?
It was passed at 2 AM.
Eunuch Hou was lured away at 12 AM.
The second theft should've entered the palace.
If it is really to kill me, then
why did he show up after 2?
Then within this hour, what did he go do?
Coming here is just on the way. The theft must have some other motive.
What would that motive be?
Xiao Yi.
In the palace, spread this message.
Let them check to see if they are missing anything
or perhaps, if there are anything abnormal.
Yes.
Wait.
They may not listen to what I am saying.
Go to Empress Dowager's place and ask for a command.
Understand.
Could it be Dongyi City?
The truth is about to be unfold.
Interesting. I will wait.
Smells so nice.
You are more beautiful than this flower.
Commander Yan.
Empress Dowager is taking a walk in the garden. You can look for her there.
There are people in there. We are killing the bugs with herbs.
I mean in the inside.
No.
Commander Yan.
Commander Yan, there are rules regarding the bed chamber of Empress Dowager.
What is Li Yunrui investigating?
She worried the assassin might have done something.
Relay my message then.
Then check every location.
Yes.
Let's go back. I want to see too.
Yes.
Slowly.
Wait here.
You too.
She hid someone in the chamber.
I heard breathing, but they said there isn't anyone.
Male or female.
I can't tell.
But his breath was long and gentle. He must have good skills.
Could it be Eunuch Hong?
If it was him, then I should not be able to tell.
Yesterday there was a theft.
and today queen dowager hiding someone.
Isn't is a coincidence.
Is it related?
This reminds me of what's weird about this.
It does seem weird.
Xiao Yi.
Is Hong Si Siang a Grandmaster?
Never see him show his skilled but it is for sure he is stronger than me.
You are a Level Nine Master.
Hong Sixiang must be the most mysterious Grandmaster.
Probably is.
A Grandmaster would let go of assasin?
What kind of theft dares to do that?
Could it be Si Guijan himself?
It is a bit weird.
What if she is Intentionally tricked away?
Intentionally?
Why can the theft come and go as pleased?
Why he can disappear completely?
What the Grandmaster Hong Sixiang would miss it?
There is only one answer for that?
The two thefts are queen dowagers people.
I don't know how to thank you.
Write me a poem.
Sure.
I have to think.
You wrote hundreds of them yesterday. Now you have to think?
It's different.
Those are one that just came to my mind.
One the ones I give you, I want to write it myself.
Just came into your mid?
Just appear. Don't know where they come from.
Are you really the God from heaven?
You wrote those poems in heaven?
Where did that come from?
You don't even know?
It's all over the city
since yesterday.
Chapter 54, Section 86.
Yi Jiu - Leader of the Eighth Division of the Inspection and Control Bureau of Qing
These are good poems.
But we couldn't find the references.
For example, this one.
The water of Yellow River is Heaven sent.
What river is the Yellow River?
A yellow river?
And this one:
Save in Mount Wu truer clouds there can hardly be.
There are so many mountains in the world.
Is Mount Wu a real mountain?
Lord, it's actually not hard to understand.
Then go ahead and explain it.
This Young Master Fan
is a God from heaven.
Every name, place, and reference we don't know
is from heaven.
Yellow River must be a river in heaven.
Seriously?
Do you think normal people can write so many great poems over one night?
Make sense.
Look at this one. This is one is also good. Explain it.
These poems are all original?
We checked the records of the Eighth Division, there are no duplicates.
Please give me some time, I'll check with some ancient records.
No need.
Your Eighth Division should proceed. Try to print the poems soon.
Yes.
Come back.
Slowly.
Bureau Head.
The word going around is that Fan Xian is a God of Poetry from Heaven.
We must be aware of this.
The literary world of Qing has always been weak.
It's about time for a God of Poetry.
I understand.
The Eighth Division will secretly help sow the seeds
to solidify the God of Poetry title.
Go.
You are also reading this book?
- You're reading it too? - Good book.
On war-torn land streams, flow and mountains stand. In vernal town grass and weeds are o’ergrown.
Grieved o’er the years, flowers make us shed tears.
See this one, so good.
Young Master Fan
really is a God of Poetry.
Who dares to write poetry now that this book of poetry is out?
Indeed.
The coming of this God of Poetry is really a fortune for Qing.
To be honest,
I once worked with Young Master Fan.
At the time, I really felt that Young Poetry God Fan
was above the common crowd, and out of the ordinary!
- What is this? - What?
Yeah.
- Who did this? - Let me see. Let me see.
- It's all over the ground. - Pick it up.
There are even words on it.
Look.
So many.
What is this?
- Pick it up and see. - They're all bits and parts.
Who wrote this?
Not sure, don't stir up trouble. It's only a piece of paper.
Pretend you don't see it.
Something big is about to happen.
You! Don't bang anymore.
Continue reading.
Disobeying the rules. Betraying our country.
Our great man in Northern Qi
was betrayed
by the shameless Li Yun Rui.
Majesty, the rest is harsher.
Where is it from?
It's scattered in every corner of Jingdu, almost everyone has seen it.
Quite a few people... are starting to believe it.
- Who spread them? - Couldn't find the source.
Interesting.
They want to use public gossip to force me to death.
Other people are not important.
The important thing is how His Majesty sees this.
Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com
It is pretty harsh.
Who wrote it?
How many people saw it?
I'm afraid everyone saw it.
Right now everyone is discussing it.
They're discussing the relationship between Princess Royal and Zhuang Mohan.
How reckless.
Your Majesty.
The matter of Princess Royal betraying Yan Bingyun... is it true or false?
You're asking me?
Then what's the use of your Inspection and Control Bureau?
Should we investigate it?
Now that things are all abuzz, there needs to be a result.
Do you want a result?
Or the truth?
By saying that, I can charge you with disrespect towards a Royal.
I accept the punishment.
Live or die. Your choice.
Leave.
Lord Zhu.
Have you seen this?
Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com
Grand Princess is in cahoots with Northern Qi? She's the one who betrayed Bingyun?
Where did this come from?
The whole city is filled with it.
Who spread these?
On;;y heaven knows.
I'm making it clear first.
If my son had his cover blown, I have nothing to say.
But if someone within the Imperial Court played dirty,
there I won't stand by and do nothing.
Why didn't you tell Head of the Bureau?
I don't trust him.
Not many people knew Bingyun was in Northern Qi.
You suspect that it was Head of the Bureau who betrayed Bingyun?
He wants to promote Fan Xian.
Amongst the young generation,
my son is Fan Xian's biggest rival.
We shall exchange information.
Now that things have blown up, let's see how Li Yunrei will clean it up.
Uncle, thank goodness it's you.
If it was someone else. They can't possibly do it and not let anyone know.
Is this any use?
Gossip is a scary thing, UnCLE.
Not to mention, all of this is true. Li Yunrui won't hold up under investigation.
Do you know what the most brilliant part of this plan is?
Do you want to know?
No.
I promise I won't ask any farther in the future.
The best of this method is
no one knows ir's done by me.
I can just remove myself from the situation and happily watch the show.
It's me. Chen Ping Ping.
How come you are here?
I came to see you.
Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com
Wuzhu isn't here?
Do you need something from me?
I have seen this.
It's so hard to believe.
How can Princess Royal have a private relationship with a guy that old?
You did this.
There's no evidence, don't go around saying nonsense like that.
The evidence is right in your hands.
It was all over the city. I had them grab me a few.
Verify this.
Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com
The paper was made of Sandalwood.
This kind of paper has types of
raw, cooked and semi.
Chief,
this is semi.
It's made of Sandalwood mostly.
Two layers.
Silky pattern.
There are also linen besides straw.
It's made my Hexi Dao.
It's not very high-quality. Not so many people use it in Jingdu.
Chief,
what's the quantity of this order?
The whole city is filled with it.
In the whole city, only one place
has a lot of stock on this.
In Jingdu
your Danbo Bookstore is the one that imported these goods.
You are the person behind this.
You don't have enough money?
Why did you buy cheap stuff?
Fan Sizhe handled this.
This is his type.
Amongst the eight divisions of the Inspection and Control Bureau, the one I care about the least is the Eighth Division.
Never thought.
The Inspection and Control Bureau was founded by your mother.
Don't underestimate it.
Does a lot of people know this?
No. I stopped it.
What is written on the paper is it for real?
Love is fake. Betrayal is real.
How did you know? - I heard them.
You heard it on the day you secretly entered the palace.
You want to aim at Princess Royal?
She wants to kill me. I can't just sit there.
It needs more than rumors. You will need evidence.
I was ready for step two.
There' a breakpoint.
Guo Youzhi.
-How did you know? -I heard what happened at the dinner.
I will be here today.
I will watch you fall for good.
Please forgive my son.
Who are you?
This is the Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.
You are lying to our king.
Your Majesty, please punish him.
According to Guo Youzhi,
he knew that Zhuang Mohan was about to frame you.
Princess Royal must have a middle man to
contact Zhuang Mohan.
Guo Baokun is not qualified.
It must be his father, Guo Youzhi.
You thought about it too.
I paid attention to your thing.
But this is still a guess. I have a method to
But it can prove there was connection between Guo Youzhi and Zhuang Mohan.
This disappearance of Zhuang Mohan right after he arrived.
You know this too?
Now,
we can tell he did meet up with Princess Royal.
There must be a person who covered for him.
We can look up who visited him that day.
Already did.
Guo Youzhi is on the list.
You probably know what I want to say next.
Let me think.
These are not enough.
We need a witness. Found one?
His driver confessed.
That night, there is
someone who took him out. And in the palace, there's
someone took him.
Did already what needs to be done.
The rest, what do you want to do?
I should ask you.
I want Li Yunrui out of Jingdu.
Take a look at it yourself.
Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.
Guo Youzhi is one of my people.
That day, I did indeed see Zhuang Mohan.
You admit your wrong doing?
He is a great poet.
I have some questions regarding the book I was reading.
I invited him over to discuss it.
I had nothing to do with Yan Bingyun.
Books?
Please trust me.
What do you have to ask?
Let's forget about the books.
Harlem cannot interfere with political affairs.
Princess Royal contacted Guo Youzhi secretly.
It was already a crime.
Do you admit it?
How could I not if Chief Chen said I did.
Then how do we solve this?
Guo Youzhi is governance official,
he connected with Harlem. He should be sent to the Ministry of Justice.
You can't even protect your own people.
The law is law.
He deserves it.
You are such a Princess.
Hurry up!
Dad!
Let go through!
My dad is the Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals. You cannot take him.
Dad! Dad!
How dare you! I am telling the King!
Dad!
Let me go!
Dad! Dad! Dad!
Dad! Let me go!
Let me speak to him. I won't make it hard for you guys.
Dad! Dad!
Let me go!
Dad!
I'll save you right now.
Enough!
It's no use. Can't you tell
The Royal guard is here too.
Still don't understand?
This is the King's orders.
Why?
You asked to come along to Qinian Palace that day.
I shouldn't have agreed.
It was my fault that I told you about it.
In Qinian Place...
You said the wrong words.
It would be fine he has fallen for good.
But he is the God of poem.
I know that one day this will happen.
I did this to you, father.
It's not your fault. It's mine.
Son. From today onwards.
We are not father and son anymore.
Remember, you would do anything you can to
Attack me and yell at me.
Said I have an evil heart and already can't stand me.
Understand?
I don't.
Only this way you won't get dragged into this.
I won't. I won't.
I've always yelled at you.
But I always expected to see you
being a lord and having your family.
I wanted to stay by your side.
But I can't now.
